"I've been on this bc for 4 months. Since then, I've experienced nausea every single day. I have no appetite and barely eat anything but I still haven't lost weight. I have no sex drive(and TMI but very dry)and I'm a raging bitch most days! I have head aches every single day 24/7 and I'm tired constantly. My dr told me this bc is good for those with acne but I have had horrible break outs that I can't stop!I forgot to take my pill today and just realized that I haven't experienced any of these symptoms at all! I am the type of person who will experience every possible side effect of a medication though so do consider that. I still wouldn't recommend it!!"


"Wasted my money did nothing for me"


"I've had the copper iud for a year now. I chose the non-hormonal birth control due to side effects from the pill. Before birth control, I had heavy periods to the point of causing anemia and needing a D and C.

After having the iud inserted, I had a little cramping, but my periods were actually less heavy, and just lasted a day or two longer. I'd much rather have a lighter, longer period then feeling like a crazy person with anemia on hormonal birth control.

So, every person's body is different, and the iud will have different effects. I'm happy with my choice."


"I've used this product for about 15 years, as I have chronic nasal congestion at night. I would have given it a 9 until the new bottle design, which is so HORRIBLE I have to give it a 2. I love your product. It would be nice if I could still use it. The cap is wayy too hard to wrestle off for people who don't have great hand dexterity, and that whole "line up the tiny white plastic groove with the other tiny white plastic groove" thing is awful. I need to be able to use it in the dark without waking up my spouse. I will switch to another brand if I must."


"I'm so glad I decided to Google this medication and found these reviews. I thought I was going NUTS! My hormones are out of control on this medication. Like others, my pharmacy switch me to Estarylla from Sprintec. I was fine on the Sprintec but on this stuff - I've had HORRIBLE mood swings, my acne is out of control, spotting, nausea, weight gain, headaches. I thought I was pregnant! I'll be switching as soon as I can."


"I was prescribed Amitriptyline to help with anxiety and sleeping issues, but it has also helped a ton with migraines. I was having at least one a week, but I haven't had one in almost 4 months (so far). I have had a couple of headaches, but they definitely weren't migraines, and over-the-counter meds knocked them out. I was at the point where over-the-counter meds weren't working with the migraines, so I'm thrilled with the results. And it has improved my sleep considerably, also!"


"I was at the end of my rope. Having daily excessive worry, panic attacks, fear of being alone. I was given Lexapro at the hospital and now, 4 years later I owe "everything" to Lexapro. It saved my life, literally. I live a normal happy functional life. No side effects at all."


"This helped me so much. I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest!!!!!!!! I went to hospital they gave it to me and it went away. OMG thank you ativan!"


"Four weeks now and it's amazing, I'm just not hungry at all, not able to eat anything as much as I used to do, for example I used to eat 1x roll with cheese and tomato for breakfast now I can't finish it and only eat half. Same with other meals, lucky if I can eat a third. I've lost 5 kg so far without exercising. Yes it's expensive but I save on less food! Ok,so the needle is nothing to worry about, it's tiny and it doesn't hurt at all, I started injecting in my hip but the absorption is a lot slower so I went on to inject in my tummy and it's fine, just squeeze a roll of fat and inject :) In the beginning I had problems with constipation and I mean BIG problems but now it's a lot better but you need to drink a lot of water."


"For me personally, generic doxazosin is just as effective and a fraction of the cost of a patented big drug company product. "


"I started Complera two weeks ago. My viral load was 35000 and my CD4 count was 750 prior to starting it as my first treatment. I am currently experiencing some side effects for almost 10 days. The most important one is the bloating. I have to pass gas (with bad smell) sometimes a few times an hour. I also feel a little nauseous specially after main meals. I have stomach pain and lack of appetite. A very minor and short headaches some times plus palpitation. I don't know if palpitation is because of stress or not. I will give an update a few months from now but I hope most of these will get better in a few weeks."


"To be honest I don't know there so much negativity about the mirena. I am 23 years old and went from the depo to the mirena. Yes there is pain at the time of the insertion but not something that Advil cant take care of. After the insertion I drove to work and took an Advil and worked for the rest of the day. The insertion was about a month ago and the bleeding is so light its noticeable only if I wipe. Don't make any decision based on what you read because it is not as bad as everyone here makes it."


"I took this med for ADHD with hopes of helping w/anxiety & depression. I had headaches right away and began lying in bed all day long. I wanted this to work so I stuck with it despite constipation, dry mouth/eyes and headaches. My mood was worsened and I had a flat affect. I didn't laugh for two weeks. It wasn't until I stopped taking it that I realized how depressed it had made me. Once out of my system, my libido also returned. Drugs change the brain chemistry and for some it works, for others it doesn't. Straterra is not for me."


"5 herniated discs here from L5-S1up. I take 1/2 tab every 2 hours and it makes life survivable. My thoughts and prayers are for all who suffer from chronic pain."


"I have just started this med. This is day 3 of taking it and it has not helped with anxiety at all. In some ways it makes it worse. It clouds my head and not being able to think heightens my anxiety. It does although put me to sleep within a couple hours (Zzzquil does that job better though), but the anxiety stays present."


"I have had excellent results with this medication and only minimum side effects ( occasional constipation. I am a long-time calcium channel blocker taker and so far it has been an excellent prescription."


"I have been on this pill for 2 weeks now and I think its great. I have only lost 5 lbs, but for me that is great as I have slowly been gaining. I know it has helped change my eating habits. I was doing zumba 3 to 5 x a week and I wasn't losing anything. I knew I had to change something so I asked my doctor to give me something. She suggested this because the other popular pill would increase my blood pressure.I have also lost inches. In the beginning I was very tired to the point of exhaustion, but I stuck with it and now I am no longer tired. I take B12 vitamins and that has helped. My insurance doesn't pay for it, but I spend money on other worthless things so figure this is worth it. It is changing my life."


"I have been taking this birth control for about three weeks. It has given me a bit more acne than I normally have, but the biggest thing that has been a problem for me is the nauseous feeling that comes with it. I take my pill every night at 9pm. Within an hour of doing so I always feel like I could throw up. I haven't done that so far, but the feeling is so bad it makes me gag. I still feel nauseous the next day well into 4 or 5pm. It seems to die off around then and then shows back up after I've taken the next pill. I have also experienced breast soreness, not too bad, but definitely enough to take notice of. Rather than the nausea feeling, it seems to be an okay birth control, so far I'm not pregnant."


"I took 5 mg of Ambien for 3 weeks. It was effective but when I stopped I had
a terrible time trying to sleep. Check with your doctor and see if phasing out
Ambien with lower doses would be recommended."


"Was prescribed Cefdinir 300mg 2x daily for 10 days. I even took 30 billion culture probiotics daily to PREVENT this side effect. Made it to day 5 and began experiencing horrible abdominal pain. A few hours later, diarrhea started. I even vomited 6 times on top of it. I obviously stopped taking it and day 2, the abdominal pain is about half of what it was. Still have very uncomfortable diarrhea every 1-2 hours... Sleeping 18 hours a day and very weak. Stay away from this antibiotic. I agree it should be prescribed VERY carefully or just taken off the market completely. The loss of work this is causing has been horrible and if terminated because of this, I plan on taking action any extent I can."


"I was on Geodon for a few months after getting out of the hospital, and out of the dozen or so medications I tried, it was the most effective. I felt much more stable, could sleep, and was generally more productive. It was used to treat hypomania, but it really kept depression at bay as well. The only weird side effect I had was a sort of body dissociation that would happen periodically."


"This drug has saved my life. I tried reducing slowly, but my anxiety had come back. Without Paxil I had severe anxiety that was just awful. Could not function or work or anything. Paxil has brought my life back to me."


"At age 19 I have been taking Seroquel for more than a decade, as I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder extremely young. Seroquel is not a quick fix for an incurable syndrome that those diagnosed will continue to have to live with for the rest of their lives. Seroquel did not fix my sleep problems completely, although it did at first. Now I have to take extra sleep medication to quell my continually racing thoughts. I am still moody and I still do have meltdowns, but the frequency has decreased drastically. What Seroquel and other antipsychotics allow you to do is function in daily life to the best degree possible. I'm not saying everyone with manic depression should take it, because bipolar disorder is a different experience for everyone."


"After having blood blister that was black burst in my mouth by an abscess tooth I felt really ill eventually I went to the dentist who put me on this medicine, one thing I will say it's very very very strong! And as I don't normally take medication really, it knocked me out! I had broken sleep, waking up every few hours or so tingling in my hands, very bad dizziness and nausea, constipation, coating of my tongue anxiety as I'm mentally ill and very spaced out and feeling medicated. Had no
Choice though either I took it or ended up in hospital! Last day taking it today and hoping and praying the infection is cleared up."


"I am 27 and have always suffered from acne. I tried everything and was always disappointed as my breakouts continued. After a short stint with Spironolactone, my dermatologist said she wanted me on a topical and introduced me to Atralin. It took my skin a few weeks to get used to and probably 2 months for my breakouts to completely clear up. I haven't had a pimple in months. I finally feel comfortable enough to wear my hair up in public and can even go with no makeup. Great skin can really change your life!"


"I had shoulder surgery 4 months ago, and honestly my Orthopedic prescribed the patches couple days ago it's really helping with my pain. And someone mentioned that is not cover by insurance? Yes it does at least my insurance, But co payment is little high but compare from $300 to $70 co pay not bad."


"I have been on venlafaxine now for 3 years.  It works well most of the time but I find I need to change the dose, usually lower it, due to wild increases in either anxiety or jitters.  THings settle down then I can can go back up.  I haven't insisted on med change because when I am feeling good things are great.  Just wish i could feel great more often."


"I suffered from tension headaches starting in my right temple and then manifesting in the back of my neck that would hang on for days--pain in the temple alternating between dull background to incapacitating twinges.

Fioricet has been very effective in cutting my headache cycle short. It has been a God send."


"I had some weird side effects while on this medication. I experienced gout in one ankle then I had a tooth abscess then I had a sinus infection and then tooth pain. Not sure if these things were actually side effects of Axiron or just a coincidence. I felt incredible in between the side effects though and slept better and had more energy. Not sure if I will continue taking it."


"I am very shocked at all the remarks about the horrible side effects of this medicine. I am again taking it, as it is the only antibiotic that really does kick the infection. I did notice years ago when I was prescribed 750mg, it made me light headed, dizzy....so since then I ask for 500mg, and it is just the perfect dose for my body. I rate Lefofloxacin at a 10. I have never experienced any of the side effects people have mentioned, like tendinitis, metal taste, nausea, etc., and anyone I know who has taken it hasn't complained of any negative aspects of the med either. I recommend it at 500mg, but would maybe steer clear of the 750mg. That one is just so strong."


"I am very very sensitive to medication. My psychiatrist and I tried several meds before landing on this one, which my body can actually tolerate. I was extremely depressed. Nothing seemed to lift the fog. After taking Abilify 2mg (at night), I noticed it's benefits a week later. I'm more determined, focused, and actually want to get healthier. No suicidal thoughts. Don't feel like a zombie. It does make me sleepy which is why I take it at night. It's been almost a month on this new medication and so far so good."


"I didn't like paxil AT ALL! This really made me feel like crap, and made my anxiety depression and really dark thoughts worse, trying to get off of it was also rough."


"I was prescribed 500mg for twice a day in order to get rid of my BV. I only had a small headache the first night and slight nausea, but it wasn't bad at all. The rest of the days and nights were fine. BUT, this is what I did: ate a big brunch and a big dinner, and took the pill in between eating each meal. During the middle of the day I ate something with probiotics, like kimchi or cultured cashew cheese. At night before bed I would have I high quality probiotic pill with 50 billion cultures that support vaginal health.  Other than that, lots of water, healthy food, and using condoms! Good luck!"


"The taste is DISGUSTING. I was on suboxone for years, now have to take this via my insurance. I now have chronic stomach pain and nausea and like others have said, it barely stays in your system. I feel sick every morning until I take it."


"as an occasional user,  MoM is the most dependable and gentle laxative I've ever used."


"I absolutely love Lunesta. It gives me peace and rest at night and gives me a full night sleep. The metal taste is nothing that causes me any trouble. Only some things make it noticeable like water. I have depersonalization symptoms and Lunesta did not make them worse. If anything it made them better because I can sleep now."


"I was prescribed Forteo because of early-onset osteoporosis Plus a rare hereditary bone density disorder called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I./brittle bone disease). At time prescribed, I had a seriously broken arm that DR said would take "a long time to heal", but the Forteo sped up the process as predicted. I've only taken Forteo 2 or 3 months but haven't had another fracture. If you don't have fantastic presciption insurance then you need to skip Forteo because it costs appx. $3500+ per month/per pen and that's obviously well above 95% of people's budget!  The med was easy to use and to inject. I felt very little to no discomfort. Don't be intimidated by the glucose- blood-test-sized-ultra-tiny needles."


"My daughter was prescribed 300mg x 3 times a day for Strepthroat that had returned 6 days after finishing a 10 day prescription of Amoxicillin, worst stomach pains and heartburn ever, we tried drinking the water, sitting up and then Tums and Pepto but nothing helped. Waiting for Dr to call back with something else. Terrible side effects"


"I've taken countless birth controls mainly because I used to have awful, heavy periods and I have had to switch numerous times due to a problem always arising with the BC I take. I have always had clear skin. Not perfect; a breakout here and there, but nice skin. I have been on June Fe for 2 months now and my skin is horrendous. I have back acne. My chest is even breaking out. I have bumps all over my forehead and cheeks (I have NEVER had acne on my cheeks) and even starting to come up on my neck. Do NOT take this for acne. Luckily, I haven't had any severe mood swings or depressions which is why I switched BC pills last time. I heard this medication was bad about making you crazy or depressed. All I know is this stuff made me break out bad"


"I had a burn on a finger about 10 years ago and a doctor prescribed this.  I have used this since on almost any kind of injured skin or rash.  It increases the healing process in my experience and works exceptionally well.  It of course is not good to use if you have sulfa allergies.  This is my favorite medication and feel strongly that it should move to an over the counter status."


"Side effects are nausea, inability to eat, dry mouth, however, as a grad student, this is an excellent medicine to take for focusing in studying and on exams.  However, when I am in the clinic I do not take it."


"My experience was HORRIBLE. I was prescribed this medication for a UTI. 30 minutes after taking the first dose, my mood changed for the worst. I became extremely irritable and suddenly super hungry. My appetite eventually went away completely, but my irritability did not. I went into a psychotic rage at one point when my mom was yelling for no reason(like always, typical mom) and was provoking me, and hadn't seen my texts of me telling her I was having a bad reaction so she didn't know. Then before bed, I felt like I was deathly ill, my body was aching, major headache, chills, racing heart. I have anxiety so this medication caused my heart to race even more. I then began crying uncontrollably and felt overwhelmingly sad. Never taking again!"


"This medication so far has been working quite well for me. I just finished my first 2 week dose today and I am down 16 pounds. The first week felt like I was starving with the diet the nutritionist had put me on , but into the second week that faded away and I was satisfied with my smaller portions. I had less interest in food and felt fuller faster. Tomorrow I will begin the the next dose up of the medication and I am looking forward to seeing how much weigh loss is in store for me. I was told by the doctor today that the medicine is designed to help you lose 5 percent of your total weight loss. So my next visit with her she expects another 10 pounds which will put me at 26 pounds in 6 weeks that is more than what she originally expected"


"No side effects, just makes me feel better once at the right dose."


"Apart from putting on weight - Lyrica has been great.  I sleep (a miracle in itself) and have felt no pain."


"I remember coming back here in my darkest moments and you guys reviews have always provided some kind of relief so i promised myself i would get back to share my experience.

Well,  long story short me and my girlfriend had a condom mishap on day 5 after her period. Meaning I cum in her on day 5 of her cycle. Realising my mistake I bought her a generic version of plan b which she take 2hours after the deed....
One week later she had her period...  Meaning she had her period two weeks before she was due
.. Well after huge relief we moved on with our life until when the day of her next period came and no period was to be seen...  We panicked again and her period ending up coming exactly one month and two days after the bleed caused by Plan"


"I was started on 75 mg Effexor and then increased to 150 mg.  I felt much better overall.  Anxiety was about gone, I could think through my thoughts.  However, I was not happy with the sexual dysfunction I experienced on the 150 mg dose. My doctor lowered my dose back to 75 mg and the sexual dysfunction resolved and my generalized anxiety disorder is within tolerable limits.  I recently added Vitamin D and B12 to my daily regimen with my Effexor 75 mg ER dose and noticed a huge lifting of the mental fog that I had known for so long. This combination has been keeping my thoughts from racing, my hope from tanking and my perspective in a good and positive place. It works for me."


"I had got a yeast infection from eating too many sweets in one week. I had like a pie and a cheesecake everyday. I tried plain yogurt, garlic, and monistat and it appeared that everything had cleared up. But having unprotected intercourse with my fiancé, I gave him a yeast infection, finally went to the clinic and it went from a severe to minor yeast infection, I paid 80 for this pill, it worked wonderful. the drug stayed in my system for 7 days clearing up my yeast infection. Now that I know they have it at Walmart I'll get a prescription and buy it from there."


"As long as I was taking it with Adderall, it gave me wretched migraines. However, I was able to get off of the Adderall and to quit smoking, without any weight gain or tiredness! Wellbutrin gives me insomnia if I take it any later than 1 PM (I take XL at 5 AM and SR at 1 PM) and it can give me headaches if I'm dehydrated, but it is worth it. My desire to smoke simply evaporated, and I can't get a rush from a cigarette, so there's no temptation. It's like magic. It makes me happy and alert and suppresses my appetite. All around miracle drug... I love Wellbutrin!"


"I am currently on birth control and have been for a little over a year I haven't had a period since I've had my son and I've gained a lot of weight I'm about to quit taking it and Im always stressed out and my hair is falling out a lot never done this before"


"I had 3 surgeries in 3 years for endometriosis. Tried several different birth control pills and lupron. I missed over 80 days school each year for two years and then was home bound for several months a third year due to the chronic pain of endometriosis. After about 6 months on Aygestin and several doses I was back to "normal." Since then I have only had one surgery in 6 years. I have taken the medicine daily for 7 years, without it I don't know where I would be."


"Solodyn really worked for me.  Make sure the Dr. prescribes by your weight, I started with 90mg which is way too high for what I weigh, it caused tingling in my fingers and toes, once I got it reduced to 65mg I had no side effects.  The only negative is the price, the discount card is only good for 3 refills after that it is very expensive."


"My thyroid disease was caught by my determination to find the real cause to my sudden physical & mental change. Long story short I had thyroid cancer twice (2010 & 2012). April 2013 was thyroidectomy, radiation 3 months later. It's taken all my strength not to give up. I'm finally on 175mcg & my endocrinologist is brushing off my complaints of being depressed over nothing, tired, weak, cold, forgetful, wake up to aching feet. She said 2.1 is in range & Synthroid is the solution. It isn't enough! It or my dose isn't jiving with my body. I'm so tired of being tired. Some days it feels like I have cinder blocks tied to my feet."


"Suffered for years until I found out about this medication online. Take it everyday and reduced outbreaks considerably. Since having kidney stones and being required to drink at least 2.5 litres of liquid, mostly water,and no soda/ coke etc. Have been TOTALLY free! Drink more water and your whole system functions better."


"Let me say that everyone's body reacts differently to the pills. In my case it wasn't bad nor great. I've been on the pill for 9 months now. Initially got on the pill due to an ovarian cyst I have and my doctor recommended I get on a birth control pill to control the size of it. First 3 months I had breakthrough bleeding and mild acne. 5 months into it my body adjusted to it and periods only lasted me 3 days. 7 months into the pill I noticed I gained weight (mainly all in the belly area, I gained 14lbs). I didn't change my eating habits and kept active (cardio). I thought maybe it's me so I decided to tweak my eating habits a bit. After a month my weight didn't change! After this pack I'm switching."


"I just got Skyla placed a couple of hours ago. I went to my local Planned Parenthood. Prior I read the reviews on here and completely freaked myself out and almost canceled my appointment. I went in very nervous. But it was 100% fine. It hurt. Like a bad menstrual cramp and there was a sharp pinch. I took 800mg of ibuprofen before hand, and I was on day 3 of my period. A nurse stood next to me and chatted with me throughout the proceedure, and they gave me a heating pad. It was 30 seconds tops of pain which I could easily breath through. I've had what basically feels like a constant cramp since then, but nothing bad. A heating pad is all I need and I feel fine. I've never had children. I'd definitely recommend Skyla."


"Returned from a trip to Kenya, Africa and brought back an unexpected guest which caused my diarrhea for two weeks.  Tried the usual antibiotic regimen along with Questran, neither of which worked with total success.  Tried Xifaxan in combination with Probiotics and the cure was virtually overnight.  I will definitely remember this and refer to anyone I know with similar problem."

"I have panic disorder and buspar made all the difference for me. I am bipolar and out of all the meds I take buspar seems to be the one that makes the most measurable difference. I was miserable with my anxiety and panic attacks...it took me a lot of different dr's before this was prescribed. I am so glad this is available and it's not addictive. I have enough problems."


"I have been taking Gilenya for close to 10 months now.  I was on Rebif and suffered horrible side effects that never did go away ( flu symptoms, migraines ).  I had a very severe relapse where I lost the ability to walk for months.  I started the new pill medication and have had no side effects whatsoever. What a relief! I can't tell if it's working, I guess time will tell and if I ever relapse again.  It's a very expensive medication, thankful my extended benefits cover it.  I would recommend this if Tysabri is not for you ( JC Virus positive ).  A few laughs in light of a serious health problem...I am a mad cow! lol.  And those of you who are JC positive - you will know what I mean."


"I have NEVER had a problem with acne and this pill made my skin break out like no other. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone."


"Was on Myleran for 27 years only came off when I no longer responded. Been on imatinib, dasitinib and nilotinib. "


"I started it freshman year of high school because it would clear up my acne (not bad case of acne at all) But I went on it and it worked. I saw that my skin was clearing up and I was very pleased with it.

I had my first serious relationship freshman year of college and thought the pill would help if anything were to happen with that I was at least being safe, if anything were to get to that point of the relationship.

I see a lot of people saying they were moody that isn't the case at all with me. I was fine when TOM made his visit I would get on the first day I would get the occasional cramp then it would go away. My mood never change, I was still happy and healthy.

See what your doctor recommends, every pills is different for everyone."


"I'm a Kidney stone olympian - 14 surgeries.  If I don't catch the pain in time with Vicodin then I have to get Toradol shot.  Upsets my tummy a little but sure beats kidney stone pain."


"This was the first (and only) birth control I have ever used, so I will say upfront that the effects it had on me may have resulted in any birth control use not just from Yasmin. I used Yasmin for about 2 months and in that amount of time it had almost completely killed my sex drive. I could not reach "climax" whereas I had not had a problem before and had almost no desire for sex. In addition I became so dry that when I did have sex it would burn and be painful. I did gain some weight but I'm not sure if I could really blame it on the birth control except for the fact my breasts went up a cup size and still haven't shrunk though I've lost weight. The weight may have been put on easier on Yasmin? Hair got thicker also but no baby!"


"I have been suffering from PMDD for years. During the week before my period, during my period and the 2 days prior to ovulation. It's taken years to get this bad though. I have never got very far with doctors. I was offered hormonal contraception repeatedly and always refused, as I was frightened that it would be enough to tip me over the edge.
I got to a point where I just couldn't cope with it anymore, and so I spoke to a different doctor, a female doctor who knew me well. I started the usual speech, I even had everything written down, and she stopped me halfway. She knew exactly what to do.
So, I am now on half cycle 10mg citalopram. I take it when I need to (2 weeks a month). For the first time in years, I feel normal."


"I have been on Suboxone for almost a year. I was using 80mg Oxy's for almost 6 months prior to this drug. Suboxone has saved my life, my marriage, my sanity etc. I do have some side effects but I am used to them. The side effects are constipation, sweating, and sometimes mild headaches. I also had trouble urinating at first. I am ready to taper the dose. I recommend this medicine to all who suffer with opiate dependence like I do. It truely helped me get in a program without being "dope sick" first and it helps with cravings. Good luck to all."


"I haven't been on a birth control since I was 17, now am 20. I just couldn't remember to take it so it didn't do any good. My boyfriend and I both decided it was time I tried to take some form of birth control instead of just using condoms. I have premenstrual dysphoric disorder, depression, moodiness, terrible irritability a week or so before my period. It was interfering with my life and my relationship with my boyfriend. My doctor put me on Gianvi and I had no premenstrual symptoms! Its only my first month taking it. I did have pretty terrible cramping but day 2 has been fine. I guess we'll see if things change around month 2 or 3 but so far I love it and I'm glad I'm back on something so I don't have to play guessing games with my period."


"Mildly effective with controlling blood glucose. Side effect of extreme fecal incontinence was unacceptable."


"I took Paxil for three years from age fifteen to age eighteen and it helped, until I mixed it with Sudafed one night."


"I have battled stomach issues for 9 years now (I'm only 26). No doctor has found the problem in the past. I've tried many different medications, every diet known and still received no relief. I was in the bathroom with diarrhea 10+ times a day and that was on a 'good' day. My doctor prescribed Viberzi 2x a day. I took my my first pill in the morning and by the evening my diarrhea had completely went away. However, I do have side effects: gas and bloating, the feeling of being loopy, dry mouth, loss of appetite, and now constipation. I'm trying some stool softener to see if it'll help but, I'm going to keep experimenting until I find something that works. It's been extremely nice not having to run to the bathroom 10 times a day though!"


"I recently tried depo provera for my endo, and it worked great for my heavy periods and also the pain. I barely have any flare ups like before. But my hormones are going crazy or I'm going crazy. I'm irritable all the time and I get so mad over nothing.  Wondering whats worse to go through pain or the damn moods swings....."


"I've been taking Zoloft for 6 weeks. I was a mess before, so stressed out, lashing out at my husband and in tears daily. I felt so overwhelmed with life. Once I started taking Zoloft all of that went away. I feel SO much more calm and have not had a breakdown since. Side effects for me: gas, sometimes rapid heart beat, occasional dry mouth and can make waking up very difficult (this happened when I tried to increase my dose, per doctor's orders). It does give me very vivid dreams, which doesn't bother me and I'm sleeping like a champ. Sex drive is very sad, but it wasn't great before with the anxiety. Sometimes a glass of wine (I know, a no-no!) really helps with that! I am really happy with it. No noticeable weight changes."


"Contrary to what I've read on some forums this is NOT a strong NSAID. It is a pain medicine (read the insert). It works partially by working on the opiate receptors in the brain. You may a teeny tiny bit euphoric the first time.

That said I found it very good for moderate to moderately severe spinal degeneration pain and have been prescribed this for a few years. I take it in addition to an NSAID, athritis strength Tylenol and muscle relaxants (as needed) but this was a Godsend for a long time. The limit is 400mg a day."


"My Nexplanon was implanted January 2015 and was immediately amazing. No periods, no pain, no mood swings, no weight gain, and no babies. Now its been about a year and a half and I was prompted to leave this review after seeing some horror stories posted around the web involving this medication. The only change I've noticed since the first week I had it include light spotting (happened 4 days ever out of 18 months). My insurance covered nearly all of the expense, and the spotting is quite a fair trade for no more painful PMS or ultra heavy periods, and no unwanted pregnancies."


"I have been experiencing major depression and suicidal thoughts. It got to the point that all I wanted to do everyday is stay in bed, not eat, check my blood pressure all day to make sure I'm not having a aneurysm or stroke. I take the problems of my patients and relate them to myself so in case I get the symptoms they had before having a medical emergency. I start to panic and lose my appetite, etc. I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I've seen a psychologist, who was helpful but once I left it was hard for me to focus on the things we talked about due to my daily repetitive ritual of stressing and being depressed. I've been on Prozac for 2 weeks 10 mg - have all the side effects but seems to be a break through. I'll see after a month."


"This medicine is an amazing painkiller.  When it wears off, my teeth (wisdom teeth) hurt.  I just take Percocet and wah lah, no more pain."


"I've been on tri lo sprinter for four months. I switched over from Ortho tri cyclen, which I loved. My first period on tri lo sprinter was horrendous. I was extremely depressed, and hopeless, which I did not experience on my previous birth control. Since then my mood around the time of my period has settled, but I get debilitating migraines consistently every month the first day of my period. It has the same active ingredients as the name brand, but it feels quite different to me, maybe that has to do with the inactive ingredients."


"Modafinil has changed my life.  I am 50.  I have probably suffered with narcolepsy for about 35 years.  It has worsened with age.  I was diagnosed 15 months ago.  Initially prescribed dexamphetamine, initially I thought it was marvelous but I eventually realized it made my life almost unbearable.  I have been taking Modafinil for 6 weeks, the first 2 weeks were difficult, mainly due to stopping the dex, since then life has slowly improved to the point where I have never felt better.  Everything has suddenly become easy.  I never realized how easy life can be.  I wish I could meet the man who first produced modafinil to say "You have changed my life, THANK YOU.  XX""


"I started phentermine on june 12 /2013 starting weight 208lb with phentermine and  healthy diet  now after  4 month dropped to 161lb  lolllll  never thought its gonna be possible  its a pleasure now  to go shopping for new medium size clothes   thank you phentermine"


"I struggled with extreme facial sweating for years and when I say extreme, I mean it! I used to carry a kleenex or paper towels or even real towels on my purse to dry my face. I couldn't apply any product because I sweated like there was no tomorrow. I do not live in a warm place (Montreal), but even extreme cold temperatures did not change anything. As soon as it was a little warm (like climb in a bus after a 5 min walk by -20C) I sweated and I was soaked... Well, I have been using Xerac and the day after the first application, it was LITERALLY a miracle, I went out and I walked more than 2 miles by 26C and there was a very light amount of sweat around my nose, and that was it!! I recommend this product! It changed my life!!!!!!"


"Started on Norvasc about 1 wk ago and my bld pressure has gone from 180-200/100 to 120 /75, my heart rate has increased which is ok because I was on Bystolic for a short time and my heart rate dropped into the 40's. "


"I have recently started taking Diethylpropion 75mg extended release capsule and have lost 31lbs in 7 weeks...very very happy as you can imagine. I now wait until late morning before taking pill otherwise find that by mid afternoon the suppressant has worn off, I follow a very low carb diet but to be honest I haven't exercised that much. The only side effect that I have found is a slightly dry mouth but this made me increase my water intake. I have now stopped my pills due to being near my 'happy weight' (133lbs + 5'3") and am finding that I have remained in control (probably due to stomach having shrunk slightly) and have not gained any weight. I aim to allow myself flexibility of 7lbs either side of my current weight. Great pill!!"


"Oracea has finally been the one thing that has cleared my Rosacea/Acne. After years of adult acne a dermatologist felt I had Rosacea as well. Oracea has subsided all the redness I was suffering and has cut down on the bumps and breakouts that were constant. My skin is not perfect but it is much improved thanks to Oracea. I will not go without it. Luckily, my insurance covers the cost of Oracea."


"Whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE THIS! I would not recommend this for acne. 4 weeks into the treatment I was sent to the hospital, with a very bad fever it became hard to breathe. A couple days after I came home from the hospital My whole body felt like pins and needles on the inside and itchy on the out! :( most horrible thing I've went through. honestly accutane was less of a pain than this. I'd take dry lips to pins and needles any day."


"So far I have been on kyleena for 2 weeks. The insertion was very painful for me, if you have periods that are already painful I recommend a lot of ibuprofen. It was one cramp bigger than the last cramp. The first day I started to bleed, my cramps continued to a full period and my cramps were more painful than it ever was before. 2 weeks later and I am still bleeding and now that I am bleeding so much I smell bad down there. I am the type of person who is very clean and even with cleaning and wiping and pads it stinks and is very embarrassing, still not pregnant though lol"


"I have Fibromyalgia, I have tried standard treatments for this condition and nothing has worked except Norco 10 -325 twice a day and Tramadol 100 mg  two times a day.I have been on this same does now for 4 years and it does the job. The only side effect that I notice is with night time leg cramps I have tried to see what caused the Leg Cramping and I am determined it to be the Norco. When I stopped taking it the leg cramps went away. I adjusted the time I take Norco and no longer take it after 5 in the evening and it seems to help. I alternate the Tramadol, take my dose in the morning about 6am when I wake up and take Norco at around 10am and 5pm and then Tramadol about 9pm and it works perfect and seems to control my pain."


"This medication made me SO sick that I literally could not sit still. I felt better lying down but when I sat up, I had to rock because I felt so miserable. I don't even remember if it helped with the pain. If I could give it a 0 rating, I would. The concept is brilliant but it was not for me at all. I have taken Aleve (Naproxen) alone and as long as I eat enough when I take it, I'm fine. I have never taken Nexium (Esomeprazole). Maybe it was the Nexium that didn't agree with me or maybe I didn't eat enough before taking the medicine or maybe a combination of the 2. I took it when it was new on the market. I was sick for about 3 days after taking and stopping this medication."


"I got it inserted August 2015. I thought it was great until 2 months ago I started bleeding and am still to this day. It's never enough for a tampon though. I hate it! If the bleeding doesn't quit soon it's gonna have to come out."


"I got the Mirena two years ago. I love it. With 4 kids at 32, I wanted to keep my options open, in case I win the lottery. At first, it hurt. It felt very uncomfortable as I could feel it inside. My husband said he could feel it at first, but now it doesn't bother him. I suppose it has adjusted or softened somehow, but I feel the string still.  The period was annoying, long, short, spotting,and now no period at all! I had success with the Norplant in the past and was looking for an alternative with the similar levonegesterol hormone. My mood was off the first year but now wonderful. My weight went up the first year 153 to 168 but went to 155 at 1year 6mo, at  2years I am at 148 lbs. Give it a year!"


"22 yr old with horrible and frightening nocturnal panic attacks 2-3 hrs after falling asleep every night. Waking up in a confused state with vivid images making no sense, yet feeling a need to act on them before realizing the situation wasn't real. Researched on my own and discovered a definite correlation between ranitidine and panic attacks. Stopped taking Zantac 3 weeks ago and have not experienced a panic attack since. Feel like I was reborn. Ridiculous drug with far too many untold or unknown side effects. Stay away from this. After asking different psychiatrists, only half knew Zantac can cause or worsen panic/anxiety."


"I have been on the NuvaRing for 4 months and I love it! I haven't had a single problem with it. It never comes out or moves at all during sex or anytime. I had a lot of problems with the mirena before so I switched to the Nuvaring and I'm so glad that I did. It also increased my breast size and I won't complain about that!"


"I was 25 when I was finally diagnosed with IBS-C. I only took Zelnorm ONCE and i immediately felt better for a week. IT basically flushed my system out all at once and I never felt so good in my life. I didn't take it regularly only when  I REALLY needed it. 2 pills did the trick."


"I've been receiving this shot since October 2015 and it has worked very well with little complication. I've had about two or three bouts of random bleeding (which might have been my cycle. I lost track of it) but they did come with normal PMS symptoms like mild cramps and fatigue. I did gain a little weight but I'm not too concerned  about that. I was on the pill for a while and this has given me so much better results. The pill had terrible side effects (emotional and physical) and I hated having to remember to take it everyday. I was given a full tutorial of sorts about each type of birth control, what to expect with each, and how often it's taken. I did not experience anything that I was unaware might happen and haven't missed a shot."


"I have been on the medicine exactly 1 month for my Depression with severe anxiety . The first 3 weeks I was on 20mg, and the first week and a half was the absolute worst. Everything felt wrong, my relationship, my job, my whole life... but I have been feeling this way for quite some time... I also got very vivid dreams and nightmares. However after a week and a half (my boyfriend says this as well) it is like a light switched on inside my head and everything got better. Not fantastic but a whole lot better. Yeah there were issues in my life and my relationship has been rocky but I had optimism and felt love that I had not felt in a long time <3
5 days ago, I was increased to 40mg and here comes the absolute worst again... but this time I KNOW it will get better. Don't give up!"


"I've been on this birth control for about 4 years now and its worked wonderfully for me. It completely regulated my period, the flow and not to mention it's prevented pregnancy flawlessly."


"I was  taking suboxone for about a year in a half I found new Dr. They gave me Bunavail 4.2 twice a day I get 60 a month and I split it with my lady we both take 1 a day. We are good I love the taste of them compared to subs I don't like the subs. I was prescribed 2x a day for subs too and I did the same sharing so same effect with the medicine. I'm blessed and happy loving life Day by day...."


"I was kind of surprised to read so many comments here that sounded exactly like my Celexa experience!  I thought maybe it was just me who responded so well to this medicine.  I have been on 3 other anti-depressants over the past 14 years.  Some stopped working after a while or some never worked for me.  But within a week of taking Celexa, I began to feel better than I could have hoped for.  After 5 weeks of taking it, I can honestly say I am happier now than I have ever been in my adult life.  This is how living is supposed to feel every day!!"


"Have been suffering for 18 years before someone decided to treat me. Glucophage plus a birth control has made life better."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

"Excellent experience. Never disappoints. I take only what I need. "


"The product, in conjunction with ibuprofen, helped ease the pain from a spot of edema in my fibula near my ankle, but is astronomically priced at $1200 for 60 capsules (it should be a crime to charge this much). Make sure it's in your insurance company's formulary before you consider taking it."


"I have tried it all;this works so wonderful. I have my life back."


"I'm a 34 year old who has had asthma for years. Over the past 12 mths my asthma has become increasingly difficult to manage, and was severely impacting my sleep and my day to day life. As a result doctor has been trying some new medication.

After just a couple days on 10mg of this medication my asthma had significantly improved. Then the side effects started.   I lost hearing in my ear and had loud ringing in my ear. I was sleeping non stop, couldn't concentrate or retain information and was suffering from terrible anxiety which I have never experienced in my life. I felt like all I wanted to do was sleep and never wake up. I have never felt so awful in my life. I stopped the medication that night and immediately felt 100% back to normal."


"Humira lowered my immunity to where I suddenly got severe pneumonia that spread very fast. I had never had lung problems before this happened. After 2 weeks in hospital with all different kinds of antibiotics and antifungal and drained fluid from the lung, I started to get better.This was after stopping the Humira first day in the hospital. Now have scarred lung and cold to show for it. I will not be going back on it!"


"Tried the 20 mg 10 pack free trial... tried it 5 times and saw absolutely no results... woke up every hour and a half or so the entire night.  Did not feel foggy  in the morning.   With my insurance the Rx would have been $90 a month.
NO THANKS!"


"I've been taking Microgestin Fe going on 2 years now and I think it is the best. At first taking it I noticed spotting in between my period for only 2 months but after that my period has gone away completely, which is common for anyone who had light periods prior to Microgestin. I haven't gained any weight except in my butt and I went from a B to a C. I haven't had any emotional or sex drive changes but there is are two major downsides to the medication. 1. I have never had more than 5 pimples on my entire life, and now I get pimples readily. Also, since the estrogen levels are high, I have experienced more yeast infections. I am sexually active and have never missed a pill, and not one scare. So overall, very effective!!"


"One thing for sure. It definitely prevents pregnancy because you can't have sex due to the fact you're constantly bleeding. I got my  second shot on July 10th and I have been bleeding ever since with occasional clots and it's almost the end of August. It's very frustrating and annoying. I definitely will not be getting the third shot! And the medical facilities that provide the shot have no clue. #neveragain"


"Been on Gilenya 15 months. So far so good. Last MRI of brain showed no new lesions and several existing ones shrank a little.  Wish there was more upbeat news to report, but I am pleased with the status quo."


"I started using this about 4 days ago. It worked really well in the beginning. I didn't sweat or anything. I was actually surprised and glad I can finally touch my dogs without getting their hair all over my palms. But ever since yesterday my hands and feet have been sweating non stop. I read I can't apply it when the area is wet...that it has to be dry...so there is no possible way I can apply it. Hopefully my hands stop sweating soon."


"Starting the methadone treatment was the best thing for me it saved my life turned my life around for the better just when I thought I was at the end of the rope that I just wanted to die. Someone told me about the methadone I tried it and it worked. "


"For Fibromyalgia:  I have been taking two 600 mg tabs per day of the 100% guafenesin Mucinex since June 2014. Previously was on Lyrica (I now have liver damage I think was caused from that and Cymbalta) which really didn't seem to help much. Can't claim to be totally pain free because it appears I have a "weather" body. Whenever a high pressure storm system comes in, my pain levels go up. I am convinced however that guafenesin therapy works. I have seen other websites that say it is only having a placebo effect, but then how do you explain those people who accidentally helped themselves stop fibro pain when they took it for sinus problems? I now have to be very careful what I take due to liver problems and guaf has no side effects... So? :)"


"Had radical nephrectomy Aug 2014 and I was clear until Jan 2016 when spots found on both lungs. Had ops to remove the cancer on lungs (big mistake). Cancer returned within 6-8 weeks. Started Pazopanib 5 mths ago. It's working!! Lung spots have shrunk. Side effects seem to come in waves for me. I'll have a few weeks of normal bowel then I'll have a week or so when it's bad. Hair has turned white (I'm 47). Bad taste in mouth, I've lost weight (10lbs), appetite comes and goes but it's mainly not there. Ulcers in mouth have gone but can't get rid of the ones in my throat. Blood pressure is normal. I feel tired at the end of the day (earlier than usual) but no real fatigue. Overall I'm feeling good and still working. Keep fighting all, God Bless"


"Made me extremely sick. I have shortness of breath, my joints are all swollen and ache, major stomach pains. I ended up in the hospital where I was informed I had a severe reaction to it."


"This is my 1st x on BCP & this is what was prescribed & I can't wait to end this pack & just suffer the horrible monthly cramps!! Since taking these, I'm always nauseous, so fatigued, constantly very irritable, my mom thinks I'm suddenly acting depressed when I never have been in my whole life, enough to where she wants me to go to counseling, I'm breaking out and it all seems to this pill, the ruthless culprit!"


"I've been on 1 pill a day for a week now. The only bothersome side effect had been the restless legs and insomnia. I do great during the day, but this lack of sleep is going to catch up with me. I'm also scared to get on the scale!"


"iIve been using yaz pills for 1 yr and 4months as birth control pills  and I am 26 yrs old now and my ob from tmc recommend this pills. Additional from yaz it does wonder for me I stay look young because of my skin , everybody  says I'm always blooming . they ask me if I'm taking glutathione  .hehe but not."


"I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for 2 years and the only time I experienced any side effects was the first month and it was nausea around my period. But since then my periods have been like clock work and light, I haven't gotten pregnant, my acne is totally under control, and my breasts have increased a little. This is the best I've ever taken."


"I am super sensitive to most birth control, but this pill is perfect. I have been on this pill for a year, and I will continue. I still experience some PMS (a few acne spots on my jawline and I'm extra moody/ hungry), but I haven't had a period the entire time. No weight gain either!"


"I've taken birth control since I was 15, I am now 24. I used to get horrible migraine headaches around my menstrual cycle so I was put on continuous birth control. This has really made a huge difference for me! Instead of having a monthly period, I have a period 4x a year, every 3 months. I do believe birth control has been a contributing factor to my weight gain however. I don't have any crazy cramps or horrific mood swings. Currently I am taking Altavera."


"This does not really work. With a throat attack it provides some relief. Even after I have taken the drug with one attack I will still get another attack within an hour of taking the drug. It doesn't stop or reduce swelling in any part of my body especially my face. If I take the shot for one eye it will continue to swell and the other eye begins to swell and that's after a second shot. I'm not sure how well it works for other but for me it is useless."


"Been on 3 different types of birth control this past year, giving each one 3 months to adjust to my body.  This one has been the worst yet... instead of my periods getting lighter, they now last 7  days with severe cramps for the first couple of days.  The third month, my breasts inflated and were so painful.  I literally couldn't wear a bra with an underwire.  This past month, I also began feeling nauseous, faint, constipated, exhausted-yet can't sleep, and just started experiencing some blood in my discharge.  I still have 1 more week of the pill before the inactive pills. "


"Been on this for two weeks now, started taking half of a 75mg pill, and two days ago increased to taking a whole one. Am supposed to take the whole for 2 weeks, but am thinking of stopping at a half. A whole pill is making me really nauseous and also gives me really bad "jitters", like when you've had too much coffee. Had absolutely NO side effects when only taking a half."


"I am 25 with no kids. I have had success with bc pills but for my work traveling I forgot to take the pills at the same exact time. I tried nuvaring but it made my leg and arm go numb the 3 times I tried it. So I decided to try skyla. I've read so many horror stories but it was fine! I got it inserted today. It hurt twice, once when they measured and once when they put it in. Honestly the pain for me was about 4 out of 10 for like 2 seconds each. The whole procedure felt like it took two minutes or less. There was very light cramping for 30 min and now I am spotting but no other effects so far! Nothing hurts and I don't feel anything down there. So far so good and I am happy wit my choice!"


"I had nexplanon put in 9 months ago. I forget I have it and I forget women have periods. I don't remember how annoying it is to get it. Not a drop of blood in 9 months and no pregnancy. No negative side effects at all. I love it!"


"This garbage pill turned me into a robot. I seriously had zero emotions and cared about nothing. I was only on it for a month but I'm still dealing with the acne it gave me all over my cheeks. I regret taking this pill so much. If you don't want extra body hair or deal with acne, choose a less androgenic pill. Otherwise, it didn't have any side effects besides body hair growth in places men usually have it, and acne all over the lower part of my face."


"I have been on Reclipsen for 3 months for terrible periods (I'm 15), and my acne isn't any better then it was before, my periods are just as heavy as before and I've gained 17 pounds. It caused severe mood swings, anxiety attacks, weight gain, more acne, strange cravings, always hungry, and didn't help with amount of blood or my cramps.

The pros are it shortens my period to 6 days rather then 12-16 days, but I still bleed abnormally heavy to anemic point. The weight gain is the worst."


"I'm 50 years old, female, live in Brazil and I' ve been using alvesco since the asthma diagnosis, in March 2014. It's controlled now, but I can't stop using it. I use 160mg every morning and since I don't stop alvesco, I'm asthma free. The only side effect I notice is my voice, a little lower than it used to be. But I want to learn to live without medication!"

"I'm a 18 year old, who has never has a child, and I had Mirena for 1 year, but then had it removed. I'm going to name the pros first. I liked Mirena a lot, because I never had a period, maybe spotting here and there, before Mirena I had my period twice a month, for almost 10 days, and I became very anemic, so not having a period was really nice. It's also a very effective form of birth control, I also didn't have the headaches and tiredness like I did on the pill. Now the cons... I was 105 lbs when I started Mirena, but in a matter of a year I ended up gained a total of 25lbs. It was awful. I had really bad cysts on my ovaries on top of that and still have some from the Mirena. While on the Mirena I had gotten PID, which was not okay."


"Started Concerta 5 weeks ago. Started with a "pediatric" dose (I'm almost 40) and worked up to 54mg. LOVE that I can finally focus and finish tasks, work is getting completed, my lists are getting checked off, and I'm making it to appointments on time. THEN...2 weeks ago, slight insomnia started to get worse, and minor anxiety..thought it was various life issues I was dealing with. Tonight..I'm dealing with severe insomnia and anxiety so bad I can barely sit and research my problem. I have a check up with my Dr in 2 weeks, I'm calling tomorrow to get in sooner. I'm very upset as it solved my ADD problems and thought I started a new life...I do not want to start the trial and error roller coaster all over."


"Nexplanon had me very optimistic and hopeful at first. NOPE! Not anymore. I've been bleeding heavily for about a month straight and I've been spotting since the first week I got it ! Do NOT get nexplanon. It made my anxiety so so so much worse ( so bad I was hospitalized for it). I'm getting it out next month and I can't wait to feel like myself again!"


"This has got to be the worst birth control I've ever had I got 2 months after I had my daughter in 2015. My period has been out of wack the whole time and February 22  2016 (my birthday) I had a miscarriage and June of 2017 I got pregnant and had a miscarriage. It's supposed to be the best but I'm still getting pregnant! so thank god on the 24 of July it will be out and on to something new. I would not recommend this to anyone."


"So this Sunday will make exactly one month since I started Belviq and I need to re-up on my script. This is the God's honest truth. I started at 211 pounds the first week I was too tired to exercise but I tried maybe 2 days that week. The 2nd week was much better the tiredness was gone and I got over the headaches so I was able to work out that entire week. Nothing hard core just walking at a steady pace. the 3rd week I didn't do bad during the week however I stopped working out. My weight hit a plateau and I was pissed so I started working out again. I'M PROUND TO ANNOUNCE THAT I HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 18 POUNDS IN ONE MONTH !!!

This medication requires not just eating better but exercise!!!"


"Was given propofol for my recent colonoscopy & I can't say enough good things about this drug.  This was my first colonoscopy & the Doctor initially wanted to use conscience sedation but upon reading all the reviews I insisted that he use propofol.  I'm glad I did.  The only pain I had from the entire procedure was when the put the IV in my hand (which really wasn't that bad), other than that everything was a breeze.  No pain at all when the injected the propofol into my IV.  After they put it in I remember feeling a little warm sensation in my body & the machines in the room I was looking at starting to get a little dark then they were waking me up saying I was all done. :)  The propofol wore off quickly & I walked out in under 20 mins."


"Horrible. Given for sinus infection. Day 8 today not feeling better. Got the rash right away but tolerated it because I was so miserable from sinus infection I wanted to get better. Day 5 flu like symptoms, thought maybe I had caught the flu from son? Now don't think that was it, think it was the meds. High fever aches and pains. Have had horrible headaches throughout, assumed it was because of sinusitis now wondering if it was from meds. called doctor on day 6 and she said to keep taking it and call back if not better in another day. Now have developed cough and diarrhea. After reading these reviews wish I had read them sooner.... pretty sure all my new symptoms not related to sinus infection but to this medicine."


"Like the others here, I had been on Loestrin 24Fe for about six years before I was forced to switch to Minastrin because they discontinued it. It was awful, gave me horrible mood swings and I kept having huge fights with my boyfriend and everyone and I knew it was this pill because that is not like me at all. As soon as I switched the mood swings went away."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is my third colonoscopy. I absolutely hate this prep. The taste I can get past, though it is def not a latte ;). I can deal with bathroom visits, no worries. All of that works fine. It just really bothers my stomach. The first time I used it I wound up with a bleeding stomach (erosive gastritis). I am going to push for a different approach next time."


"Way better than Oxycontin, no more daily 3 times a day withdrawal, more effective and If you take this, make sure doctor gives a proper bowel regimen; was admitted to emergency for details I'd rather not share. Have 4mg Dilaudid for breakthrough or Percocet and Robaxicet. Also take Remeron, Nortriptyline. Miraculous really! Really great for moderate to severe chronic back and neck pain. "


"I've been using Vistaril for over a year now, went up from 25mg once to 4 times a day, I have to take 2-3 for it to work for ONE panic attack, considering I'm in school, this is very bad because it makes me fall asleep in school or driving on the way home. For me this medicine is very ineffective."


"I've taken Avodart for several years.  It sometimes worked better than other times.  The side effects are terrible.  Less than a month ago, I decided to try a natural formula and found many available.  I decided to try Urinozinc Prostate Formula because of the high ratings.  Within a week, I stopped taking Avodart.  I'm back to normal...like I was years ago.  I won't ever be taking Avodart again."


"I've been on this pill for a WEEK and I've had to stop taking it. I had to swap from Noriday to this as I was having irregular bleeding and very bad cramps. First day no side effects as expected. But from the second day onwards my period disappeared, I started to experience horrendous dizziness to the point I would class it as vertigo, and at one point I was sure I was having a heart attack because I had a very dull ache in my chest and my blood pressure was 172/151! Not to mention my moods are all over the place!"


"I been on this medicine for 2 1/2 months and have lost 26.5 pounds so far. I can't eat on this medicine. After a few bites I feel stuffed. It works great for me, and I have tried every thing out in the past 10 years. The only side effects are dry mouth and lower back pain. Well worth the trade-off."


"I'm on phentermine for the 4th time.  I told my doctor I want a life long IV drip of the stuff.

It's a miracle in a bottle. It cured my sluggish tired feeling days...made me up beat, happy, motivated for daily tasks (which are many with four small children) not to
mention it not only suppresses physical appetite but the all powerful emotional appetite.  My brain quits telling me I need food to feel better!

I've lost a lot of weight on phentermine.

Here's the catch.  You can't stay on it forever.  Being that I'm on round four ...hopefully I can keep it off this time. I have also experienced the dry mouth and heart palpitations (hopefully harmless).  Be strong when you are done and don't gain it back!"


"I used to take regular Tylenol two at a time, when I needed I  got up to taking 3 to 4 times a day. I switched to taking the 8 hour version and it really works fairly well. It is OTC medicine and reasonable price and it works."


"Geodon has been working great. I take 20mg twice a day along with Xanax.  My psyciatrist calls this a mood stabilizer and it has done me wonders.  When I get sad and depressed I bounce back pretty good. This is a life saver for me."


"Feeling fantastic, like myself again. Wanted to say I have not gained weight, in fact, I have LOST WEIGHT with this drug. My appetite increased but I needed it. I liked to skip breakfast and lunch most days to "lose weight". I only kept the fat on. With this newfound energy im experiencing Im more active and burning more calories. My increased appetite has prompted me to eat regular healthy meals and my metabolism has skyrocketed! Im burning fat and building muscle. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents. Alot of people gained weight, I have not. If you watch what you eat and your portion size, plus exercise regularly you shouldnt see an unwanted weight gain with this drug."


"I have been taking Belviq for 39 days and I am down 18 pounds. I am just plain not hungry and when I eat my meals, I am full much faster. I have forced myself not to eat cookies or pastries and after the first week, I have no desire for them at all. I eat kind bars and a banana for lunch (sometimes a low fat cheese stick). if I am hungry,   I may eat my banana midday.  I eat a regular dinner, just smaller amounts and absolutely no fast food.  If I work a long day and I am tired, we will have Subway for dinner.  I hope this continues on the right path for me...fingers crossed."


"I wasn't 100% ready to quit, but Chantix took over where my will power could not.  I only took the full dose for a week before cutting the pills in half.  I had the nausea (about 30 minutes even with full meal and 8oz. of water), the gas/ bloating, the vivid dreams for the first 2 weeks.  Week 3 has interesting: I'm not able to go back to sleep after 1am, I can't control my emotions (intense anger, then sobbing, then laughing). I was "scary" as my husband put it.  Good news is I'm starting to ween myself off as of this morning and truly believe I'm over smoking.  Good luck to all who take this- but make sure you have a great support group to make sure you are emotionally okay through the process."


"I had already been prescribed Protonix 40 mgs twice a day from my regular doctor, and when I went to my GI gastroparesis motility specialist, he   found that I needed another GERD medicine as well so he prescribed me 150 mgs of Zantac to take at night before bed. It was controlled well, I thought, with the Protonix, but it's gotten even better with the Zantac. I hardly ever have food creep back up now and I don't burp nearly as much as I used to."


"I had a severe ear infection and was given Norco. I am not a regular narcotic patient and knew Norco was fairly strong, but to no avail did it help my ear. It hurt like you'd not believe, and went to the emergency room for the pain I was experiencing in my right ear. I was given an IV of antibiotics and a dose of dilaudid as well. It helped so much that I even fell asleep while they probed my ear. The doctor ordered a second dose before I was released and then was placed back on Norco for 7 days. Again, 2 days later, my other ear became infected and was again admitted into the hospital for an examination. Another infected ear, the left side this time, and was treated with exactly the same medication with the same results. It works for me."


"I told myself to write a review if the pill ended up succeeding - and it did! On the 29th I had protected sex with my boyfriend, only to come to find out that after he came and pulled out, the condom had broke and it was too late. It was two weeks after my most fertile day, so I had a low chance of getting pregnant, but I had a mental breakdown and we went to get the pill. I took it about 11 hours after the incident. After reading these reviews and some of the side effects it can have + the few that failed, I anxiously awaited side effects. The same day I was extremely drowsy. Over the next week, my boobs felt like punching bags, I had mild cramps & was nauseous but it was bearable. My period ended up being a few days late, but it's here!"


"After about 6 months I started having stomach pain and feeling sick on my stomach, not sure if it was medicines or something else."


"I FELT better after receiving the course. I definitely am glad I had it as I am still feeling well with PSA in the teens and a lumbar metastasis. If it adds months to my life, this is when I want it."


"Pros:Works almost too good. Semi quickly. I don't wait days. Usually gets all out if I hang in the bathroom for about thirty minutes.
Cons: Some people said it too worked quickly. It can be very painful when moving, comes and goes though. I find it to be a warning to find a bathroom soon. Lol Mine doesn't kick in until about 10 -12 hours.  So I definitely have to set a time out to take it and stay at home.
There is no in between for me. I do get tolerant of medications quickly too so usually I am completely sure I am constipated before grabbing this stuff. Generic is fine. Either I get the weak stuff and end up hurting myself longer or go a head with the stronger type with short more intense pain to push on through. Two tablets are plenty.:)"


"Took it for 2 weeks and my condition got worse. Not worth the side effects--dry eyes, mouth and skin, lethargic and sleepy. Had to go 5-6 times a night and sometimes 10 times before lunch."


"I've suffered with migraines since the age of 10.  I do Not like to take prescription medicines.  However, Relpax, in my estimation is one of the BEST medicines ever made.  I have suffered with light and sound sensitivity, throbbing of the eyes, and finally vomiting.  I have literally lost whole days in bed, due to the severity.  Have been taking Relpax for over 3 years now, as needed, at the onset of a migraine,  I usually drink warm tea or coffee with the pill, seems to speed up the relief.  Usually GONE within 1 hour.   My migraines have also become less often and no longer have the severe problem.   Best medication I've ever taken and NO side effects noticed."


"Have been on anti-depressants for 20 years, trying more than I can remember. Was on Cymbalta for 8 years, but it quit working for me. Depression was my biggest problem when I was younger, but now anxiety seems to be the bigger problem. Been on Trintellix for 2 weeks now (first week 5mg; second week 10mg). The side effects I can handle are nausea and headaches. The ones I can’t handle are feeling high as a kite everyday, brain on warp speed and can’t focus or concentrate. The absolute worst side effects are high blood pressure and ITCHING!! I cannot stop itching! My skin is ripped apart all over my whole body, and my skin feels about 100 degrees constantly! The itching is driving my insane. Seeing psychiatrist next week. I need help w/this!"

"Dymisia  is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm basically allergic to everything (environmental factors, seasonal allergies, dust, animals, literally everything aside from foods). I have tried so many otc  and precription pills. At one point I was taking 3 medications by mouth and having six allergy shots A WEEK and if I missed only one of my pills I'd be bed ridden with terrible symptoms. I tried Dymista last year And it works wonders. Highly recommended."


"After surgery to remove a kidney I developed IBS mixed. I was missing so much work and school and it only got worse as I got older. After moving I saw a new digestive health Dr. He put me on this with Elavil, omg the change was almost immediate. Within a week I was so much better. I've been on them for about a year now and I still have a couple episodes once every 3 months or so but it's managed and controlled now. If I forget to refill or skip a dose, I suffer within 12 hours of the missed dose."


"This pill works absolute wonders for me. Before I got on this pill I had very heavy and painful periods. When I started the microgestin 1.5/30 the heavy bleeding and painful cramps went away. My periods are now light and the cramps are little to none. Not to mention I had a very bad acne problem, that went away too. Besides the headaches that I get once in a while this pill seems to be treating me good. No pregnancies or anything. It is actually worth it. It works! It also helps for more than just birth control."


"I take Xanax XR 3mg and it has worked better than any thing else I've tried. The good thing is I only need one a day. I have been on many benzodiazepines and anti-deppersents. Xanax XR has worked the best. Initially ( for 1 to 2 weeks)it made me feel "drunk" but I am used to it now and have no side effects."


"I am 75 years old and this drug is very effective to treat my arthritis pain."


"Avonex stopped working for my mom around 2006, and her quality of life was quickly deteriorating. She was using a walker and her neurologist suggested Tysabri. After discussing the severe and rare side effects, such as Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML), she and my stepfather decided to go for it. She took Tysabri for just over 4 years before we started noticing signs of decline in speech and motor function. In January 2011, it was confirmed she had PML. The doctors told us she had 3 weeks to 3 months, but we had her for 8 months (and one more birthday) before she passed away in October 2011 at the age of 53. Tysabri gave her a better quality of life for longer than she could have hoped without it."


"I was having sciatic nerve pain went to urgent care was given methylprednisolone 4mg dosepack. The first day I had blood in urine and stopped it immediately."


"Works great with no side effects."


"My personal experience with Tri Sprintec has been great so far. The only issue I have is that I can't take the pill in the morning or during that day at all it makes me nauseous and one time I threw up because of it. I just take it at night now to help with nausea."


"Please don't try this. Unfortunately I read reviews only afterwards. I had no idea what was wrong with me and I was under the impression I needed to go to the hospital. I never expected the burning was from the medication. I will never use this again and I strongly urge you to steer clear of making a bad situation much worse."


"Do not use this form of birth control! I have had it for 2 months and I’ve taken it out after a week each time due to increased blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. I’ve been on the pill and had depo no issues in the past. Worst form of birth control I’ve experienced. Save yourself the trouble and DO NOT USE THIS!"


"I am 18, and alongside my ADD, I suffer from major depression disorder, objective defiant disorder, and major case anxiety. After an emotional breakdown on a school trip, my doctor started me back on my Zoloft and once I got that stabilized he started me on Vyvanse. We started at 40 and that worked while I was taking my Zoloft at night, but when I moved it to the morning, we had to up the dose to 60mg. I have experienced nausea, dizziness, increasing perspiration, and a little insomnia, but they don't last too long. I have also been struggling with weight pretty much my whole life. I started on May 2nd and I have lost a little over 20lbs."


"After getting off of Ortho-tricylen Lo I switched over to several other generic brands of which my gyno recommended.. all of which had crazy side effects (break through spotting/bleeding, acne, rashes on my face, crazy mood swings). Aviane is the first one that I've had no problems with so far... clear skin, no mood swings. Only minor issue is the small weight gain due to my increase in appetite.. other than that no complaints whatsoever!"


"I constantly over think things, worry and assume I will have every side effect, so I never want to take medication. I had fluid in my middle ear for over 2 years and went to several doctors who basically did nothing. Finally I was prescribed methylprednisolone 4 mg. I researched for days finding every bad side effect but got over myself and took the medicine. I had no nausea, dizziness or heart palpitations. I had a little gas but everything else was fine! It taste terrible but we've all drank way worst things that only have harmed our body. It gave me some relief the first week but now is wearing off. It was a great time treatment!"


"I was going through thyroid storm because I had taken liquid iodine with thyroid pills. At the time I was having a episode... and forced treatment against my will. The doctor told me that it was the only drug I could take and coerced me into taking it. 432 mg shot that was nearly the twice the max dose. I didn't like it because before I was on a dopamine 2 and not dopamine 3 antagonist like this drug does. Absolute crap! Before the episode I was healthy able to run 10k in under 40 minutes on Seroquel xr.... and now I'm dealing with withdrawals and high inflammation that was .7 now 4.3 because of stupid shot. It'll make you not able to think or do your job. You'll lose interest in things like working out and being healthy. The drug is rubbish!!"


"It felt like I had a rock in my back that need to come out of my bottom part.. long story short when you are full of poop it hurts lol and you need to get that poop out!!! This is my first day taking Miralax and it started working on me in a couple of hours. I'm released and relieved.."


"I started on Effexor XR 37.5 mg 12 days ago. Prior to this I had been on Lexapro 20mg 8 weeks for extreme anxiety.  The severity of my anxiety was so shocking on Lexapro after the 8 weeks compared to the commencement of Lexapro.  I had heard so many people have success with Lexapro on review sites, but for myself it was a nightmare after 7 weeks if felt like I was in a hole.  My doc took me off immediately without even reducing the amount and within 5 days I felt so much better with a significant reduction in anxiety.  I still needed support, so my doc put me on Effexor 37.5mg and within 5 days felt much better, then went to 75mg.  After 10 days on this, I am already starting to feel better, with anxiety problems only now and then."


"Dry mouth and throat on and off, especially during the night.  Also going since starting in the medication my periods have been lighter flow and slightly shorter."


"My 17 year old son began Doxycycline 7 weeks ago. When the Dermatologist said it would "probably get worse before it gets better", she wasn't kidding. He broke out in places that he never had acne before....especially on the forehead and they were large, red, and painful. He became so discouraged and wanted to stop taking it, but after reading reviews about keeping up with it, I encouraged him to stick it out. Now, starting week 7, we are finally seeing results. The pimples are fewer and smaller in size and the red spots from old pimples are fading. I have to admit that I had my doubts, but the change us definitely happening. Bottom line......stay the course. Also, my son is using Tretinoin as a topical cream in conjunction to Doxy."


"I was prescribed Differin 3 weeks ago. Two days after getting the prescription I finally purchased the item and started treatment that night. Worst mistake ever.

My skin is not sensitive at all, and I mean at all. I have literally put bleach on it and nothing has happened. Not only has using this item every other day (at bedtime) made my skin breakout, it has also:

- made it extremely sensitive

- caused chemical-like burns

- blistered

- made my oily/combo skin dry in some patches

- caused my eyes (while I didn't even apply it here) get wrinkles and burn 24/7.

I can't even apply creams/face masks that usually soothed my skin when it was irritated. Horrible product, should be made illegal."


"I'm 57 years old.  Both my sons were diagnosed with ADHD.  I went out with a guy with ADHD and the symptoms he described were just like mine. My doctor was hesitant about prescribing it to someone my age.  I went home and got it filled and about 45 minutes later I was amazed.  I was talking, being sociable, and enjoying the people I had known for years and barely talked to.  I have never felt some calm.  I thought, "wow, is this what normal people feel like?"  I'm much more focused and productive even though I've always been successful and done well in school.  I tried the regular Adderall and it didn't help at all. I'm only taking 10mg and it's working great!"


"I was amazed that this antibotic started taking effect after the 2nd dose (500 mg 2x/day). I have completed 2 days of 10 and although my head and ears still feel full, I can breath through my nose, have been sleeping through the night and have my energy level back. I am extremely pleased."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I find that Midrin works as an abortive for my migraines when my preventatives fail.  In fact, it works better than the triptans (i.e. Replax, Imitrex, Aexert) and equal to Toradol injections. I only need to take one or rarely two tablets to mitigate the worst of the symptoms.  The only problem is that I sometimes get a bit dizzy and panic-prone as a side effect of Midrin.  I know this is just mental though as I've taken the medication safely for many years.  The relief the medication creates is sometimes incredible and worth the side effects.  I find this medication also relieves my occipital neuralgia as well.  I've never gotten rebound as I don't take it very often or need multiple doses."


"I've had Nexplanon inserted about 9 months ago. Sept. 2013  and was on the pills before which I didn't like. I bled for about a month lightly before it went away completely. Loved every minute of no periods and it doesn't affect my sex life at all. In fact, I'm always wanting sex. Can't say anything about acne because I've always had it and weight gain? I've gained 15 pounds but I've always ate a little more than usual so I'm not 100% sure it's the birth control. Recently though, I've had some dark brown bleeding and I'm not sure why. It scared me into thinking I was pregnant. Once this stops and everything seems okay, I would definitely get another one in about 2 years."


"its has cleared 98 percent of my body i still have some like in my ears but very small and like two spots on both legs but overall i am happy i still have pain in my ankles sometimes but that only comes from where i work (in a hospital) very  seldom do i get nauseous or have diarrhea but i would recommend this medicine to everyone because it worked for me."


"Pros- Haven’t gotten pregnant.
Cons- Broke out (never had acne) irregular periods (also spotting), emotionally depressed, super bipolar, massive weight loss (I’m already skinny)
I do not recommend this."


"Have had depression with anxiety and insomnia 4 times in the last 10 years. Tried Prozac, went nuts,citalopram up to 60mg, did not work, sertraline, fabulous but took 6 weeks plus to get better at a relatively high dose and with horrid side effects. This time mirtazapine as had heard so many good things, I am a health care professional. Day 3 like a light bulb moment. Better. Sleeping like a baby, anxiety gone and of mood back to normal. Amazing"


"For me this is better than Paxil simply because I feel more alert and have more energy."


"Worked for me, I stared losing weight faster than before.

Note you aren't supposed to take this on its own. You got to diet and exercise."


"I've tried a few different medications for oab......nothing really helped until I tried vesicare.....it's been a godsend for me what a difference to my everday life my life doesn't evolve around the loo anymore have switched to decaffeinated coffee also which doctor advised me"


"I've been taking BC since I was 13 (so about 6 years)
 I switched to Sprintec roughly 2 years ago. I don't enjoy it at all. It does its job, I haven't had any pregnancy scares and even when I accidentally missed a pill, nothing happened. But it has killed my sex drive which is very disappointing. It has also dried me up. I have to use lube in order to be *barely* comfortable during sex. Not for everybody."


"This is the only drug that has worked for me -- and I have tried em all! Really.

All. Of. Them.

I have both plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The side effects were minimal in relation to the relief I received. About 50 percent cleared on scalp-- 100 percent cleared every where else on my body. 100 percent relief with arthritis pain."


"I am currently on a 75 mcg patch every 48 hours and I am still fairly uncomfortable.  I have requested my Doctor either increase the patch dose or change my supplemental pain medicine, neither of which he is willing to do. "


"My pharmacy switched me over to this from Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and this is the worst thing I have ever taken. At first I was experiencing spotting immediately after being an hour late of taking my pill. It was so bad the first month I spotted for a week and then got my period the next with horrible cramps and headaches. I have been on it for 3 months now and I have spotted every month.  This month I got my period for two days over a week before I was supposed to. In addition to this, I have been experiencing crazy anger & mood swings for the first time. To the point where I got mad at my boyfriend for trying to plan a vacation with me and then cried immediately afterwards. I have also had some pain in my ovaries and broke out more than ever."


"As a child it helped me at high dose for 6 1/2 years.. Now my son is taking at a high dose it's a night and day difference but also he's having now side effects that limit his function to the point his blood pressure is very unstable and he is having muscle rigidity, tremors, vagal syncope an ER doctor said autonomic instability ... We are lowering now as to be able too add another with less side effects with his arrhythmia which even with me being Autistic Schizophrenic like him challenging to control and watch as he's in full psychosis at this point... But I will say Thorazine is golden compared to the rest and we've tried the rest he likes the calm and it actually stops the parasomnia... But it's just now the serious side effects of this..."


"I started Chateal four months ago to stop endometriosis pain. It does the job, all I have is minor bloating and cramping occasionally.

However, it has worsened my depression and made me irritable and mean. I get panic attacks too now, which never happened before. It's changed my personality.

It makes me incredibly nauseous and my appetite has lessened as well. I also get acne on my chest and back, which is new as well. Other than the lack of period pain, this pill has been a horrible experience."


"I love my Implanon. The only con would be the periods and their time that they last and not knowing when they are coming. This is my first Implanon and I will definitely get a new one in the following months!"


"If you are experiencing any symptoms of PMS, PMDD, or pre-menopausal symptoms, you may want to consider Lexapro. It has made such a significant change for the better in my life. I was beginning to think there was nothing that could help me or my husband and then a co-worker suggested Lexapro and I am so grateful she did. No mood swings, hot flashes, irritability and no more cold hands. My hands would get so cold and the rest of me would be going through a hot flash so I could never get comfortable but since I've been on Lexapro, none of the above mentioned symptoms are a problem any longer."


"If I missed my dosing time by an hour I spotted. Miss a day? Full blown period. It prevents pregnancy because you are always bleeding. No thank you"


"I got on this med Sept.2015. I had anxiety mixed with fear to take it. I am on the 10 mg dose and get depressed and anxiety when on it. Slowly it worsened to the point I couldn't attend school. I this normal!? I have experienced the lack of wanting to eat and hating food in the start of being on it.Then my hunger spiked past its norm; I was eating like there was no tomorrow. Now being close to Xmas and off it for a bit I feel more snappy. If you are/ have experienced this I hope this helped."


"First time user of Suprep. Taste: well, my advice is to try to drink as much of the mixture of Suprep and water as possible without stopping. That being said, unless you are accustomed to drinking large quantities of fluids, this will be difficult to accomplish.  I followed each 16 oz. "dose" with a white cranberry juice chaser.  That was effective at cutting through the aftertaste.  What to expect:  I had very little wait time before the product took effect.  20 mins. at the most.  DO NOT plan on leaving your house at any time during this cleanse process.  Buy hygienic wet wipes prior to beginning the cleanse, your posterior will thank you.  Hydrate yourself thoroughly for a couple days before using Suprep.  Sports type drinks will help maintain your electrolyte balance.  Expect to feel an overall chill during the Suprep cleanse process.  No one prepped me for this and it was the most uncomfortable part of the evening."


"After three solid weeks with vestibular migraine, tinnitis, nausea, and no sleep, I have finally found what works. Mild dizziness, especially when bending, tinnitis is there, no dopey feeling, and I am finally relaxed! I tried EVERYTHING else...Topomax was a disaster, B12 shot, heat/cold, alcohol, no alcohol, diet, sleep, Toradol, Benedryl shot, Phenergan only way to sleep and not be sick!! Thank goodness - too bad I have no insurance and it costs A FORTUNE."


"I started this 1 year ago. The first day I couldn't leave the bathroom, after that it was okay, but it gives me gas and cramps really bad, and it still does. If I eat, it goes away. No gain or loss in weight on this drug. I'm not fat. I do crave carbohydrates on it though. My A1C usually is in the six's most of the time. I have it checked every three months. I was fighting this disease on my own, but for me I gave up after three years because I was very limited to what I could eat. I was diagnosed 4 years ago with a starting A1C of 13. Got it down to 8 with no medicines, but that is when I gave up because the life style is just not conducive to normal life. "


"Before use, I was in very bad itching and irritation pain! I needed something to help me ease the pain I was going through, so I choose miconazole 7. The first night of insertion, I felt a difference within minutes. Hopefully tomorrow I have no problems throughout the day & I get a good night sleep tonight. "


"I can live again!! I have suffered from anxiety and depression for 12 years. I've tried it all... most recently I was on Celexa and Lamictal  combination. I took Celexa for 2 years and then things went south again. My doctor mentioned Viibyd and I was so scared to try a new medication because depression meds are a game of Russian roulette. I went straight to 40mg a day and I am happy to say that after just a week, I feel awesome. I forgot how it felt to be "normal". And i am high on life after finally finding a solution! Only side effects are occasional brain fog and a little bit of restless legs.   Every medication is different for every one. Just keep trying until you find yours and don't give up."


"Excellent experience with Ativan. Have used it for flight anxiety and flew with a smile on my face.

Also used it for general panic disorder. Right when I feel a panic attack coming on I take 0.5mg- very small amount. It kills the panic attack in 15-20 minutes and I feel incredibly relaxed for hours. Only side effect was slight drowsiness but it was not bad at all- even useful if I was trying to go to bed. Highly recommend."


"I have been on Taytulla for about 2 weeks. I had Nexplanon, which I loved but caused ovarian cysts so I had to get it removed. Since getting nexplanon removed, I haven't had a period, so they put me on taytulla to try and get my body back into the rhythm of things. Ever since taking this BC I have had headaches, extreme nausea, double vision, depression, anxiety, terrible cramps, and I got a yeast infection, which turned to a bacterial infection, I am breaking out like crazy. I called my OB today see if they couldn't send in another birth control to my pharmacy, they told me basically to suck it up and after 3 MONTHS the side effects would diminish, needless to say I quit taking 2 days ago and still have side effects, please take w/ caution!!"


"I was diagnosed August 3, 2013. I started taking STRIBILD September 1st.

20 days later I had my first blood test and today October 11th I got my results. My viral load went from 69,000 to 196 and my CD4 count went up from 365 to 547...in only 20 says!. This medication is amazing. Most importantly I don't have side effects. In the beginning I was very worried because I thought my life would changed dramatically due to some horrible side effects. However I'm very pleased now. I take STRIBILD once a day at my lunch time and I'm looking forward to continuing living a healthy life."


"This is the second time I've used this drug for a vaginal yeast infection. The first time I had intense burning and itching following insertion but it only lasted about 20 minutes. This time though... It's been an hour and a half... I'm writhing in pain. The burning and itching is unbearable. I typically handle pain well but this is just outrageous. Next yeast infection will be treated with the anti fungal pill."


"I have lost 20 lbs in 35 days . I feel great . My doctor scaled down my dosage do to me feeling light headed in the 4 week."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Cardiologist put me on eliquis for A flutter about 4 months ago Have no symptoms or problems with a flutter.  If they didn't tell me I had it, I wouldn't know I had it.  At first I felt tired and no energy. They  said that could be due to A flutter.  That has gotten better. I'm 70' so it could be just my age slowing me down. I go to the gym, work with a personal trainer, and he says for my age, I am inn excellent shape. I play softball. I have no side effects of Eliquis so far. Maybe I bruise easier than before, but it goes away. Minor cuts don't seem to bleed any more than when I was on low dose aspirin. I still want to get off of it, so I am going to a cardio physicist to see if he can cure the flutter."


"I started taking this 6 weeks ago and today I decided to stop taking it. My first period was heavier than normal and longer by 2 days. It did seem to help my cramps a little bit. The only side effects I noticed while taking this was I had moments of anxiety that I contributed to taking this. What I really don't like is that I am now bleeding again 2 weeks after my period ended. NO THANKS! Maybe I should give it more time to see if it would even out in a few months, but I don't want to. IF your currently NOT taking birth control pills then you can use Northindrone to delay a period for a vacation or important event. Then after your vacation is over just stop taking it, it worked great for me in doing this. But not for being on it full time"


"I've been on Paxil for 18 years, when it stopped working. My doctor put me on a tapering schedule while adding in Zoloft, currently I'm at 15mg Paxil and 50mg Zoloft. I started feeling a little anxious at night and so I asked my doctor if I could go up to 75mg Zoloft, she ok'd it. I took it tonight, with the 15 mg Paxil. OMG I'm having the worst panic attack! Not only am I feeling slow from the decrease in Paxil the extra 25 mg of Zoloft has me freaking out! Don't know if I should go up on the Zoloft slower? I can't imagine feeling this way tomorrow!"


"I've used paragard for 10 years and just replaced for a new one. It not only regulated my cycle, it helped reduced my heavy flow down to a minimal, with little to no side effects. I highly recommend it for anyone who chooses not to have anymore children."


"I was on Tysabri for 103 Infusions, almost 8 1/2 years. I was diagnosed in 2002. Copaxone first with reactions, then used rebiff for 4 yrs. Helped alot while it was working, then it stopped in 2006. Started Tysabri. The Best MS Medicine! I Loved It! I am Going to Miss having No Symptoms, Side Effects or Flare Ups. I just talked with Doctor going to try Gilenya, in 2 Months after Solulmedule. Keep "


"Where do I begin... The first 4 months I spot bleed everyday. I had constant mood swings. Some days I felt like I could not go on. I continuously had racing thoughts that would haunt me every minute. After a few months I started to have a period every two and a half months I would start my period and bleed heavily for  upwards of 3 weeks. Before I was on nexplannon I did not have anxiety problem. I have experienced the worse lung crushing anxiety while having nexplannon. On top of this I was constantly fatigued. I felt exhausted all the time. And most mornings I would wake up having to vomit from my upset stomach. I recently just got my nexplannon removed. I now feel like I can enjoy life again. Nexplannon is bad news. Please be careful."


"I never write reviews on things, but since there are so many negative reviews about this birth control and I've actually had a great experience with it, I thought I'd make an exception. Loestrin 24Fe is the 5th birth control I've tried in the past 4 years, and as I was going on this I vowed that if it didn't work I'd have none of it and just give up on the pill. Lucky for me, it seems like the 5th time's the charm. My skin is the clearest it's ever been, the horrible cramps that would leave me practically crippled are so mild that I can actually walk around without pain, my horrible headaches are gone, and my sex drive is far from lessened. I genuinely give this pill two thumbs up, and want to remind you that everyone's body is different."
