"I have been on Effexor XR for about 3 months now (75mg), and it's done a great job of controlling my anxiety. For the first couple of days, my anxiety skyrocketed, but I supplemented with Ativan to help with that. then on the third day, I woke up and felt totally normal. It does make me a bit tired, but I also sleep better - and I do have very vivid dreams at times (not scary, just vivid). Also makes me a bit apathetic, but it's better than living in a constant state of anxiety.  I'd had bad reactions to Lexapro and Zoloft, so I was happy to find something that worked. I hope to come off someday, but for now, it's giving me what I need."


"Worked very well for my severe panic attacks. I've used this med as a crutch for a couple of weeks until Prozac levelled me out. My concern was the severe dependency issues that come with prolonged usage. I took it once a day in the evening for about three weeks, I felt  like I was losing my sanity. Combination of Klonopin in the beginning and Prozac to level me out  worked very well for me."


"My now 23 yr old son has been on Abilify since may 2012. Initially on Clozapine but way too zonked. His history is recreational cannabis use caused a psychotic break. Not smoking now or intending to.  Hospitalized and medicated. They were surprised and pleased at how quickly he regained his self awareness, home in 2 weeks but recommended at least 6 months meds to forestall relapse. He feels very detached from us and himself, on 10 mgs still. He is nervous of relapse especially since told one of the symptoms of a recurrence would be inability to sleep.   Meds reduced in December.  "


"After receiving this medication, nothing has changed at all! I still have fevers, coughing fits, and a horrible headache. It hurts to lift my head off of the pillows and even walk around since my joints hurt from the fevers. Matter of fact, my fevers have been increasing rather than decreasing! Other medications I have taken worked as soon as I ingested it. I would not recommend to anyone."


"Switched from Lantus to Toujeo. Same results. Not at goal. Then seas switched to Treseba. Tastings are more or less in the low 100s each and every day. Not fearing hypos like before and feel much better"


"After hearing from friends about how great Nexoplan was (no periods and no pills) I decided to try it myself. I got Nexoplan April 2015 and the 1st week I bled. After that I was period free, or at least I thought so. I would randomly get my period and it would last for about a week. It is now November 2015 and I've noticed I have slowly gone crazy. I'm very irritable, moody, emotional, depressed and just negative all the time. My periods lately have been very heavy with a lot of blood clots. I have to change my tampon every two hours or it will bleed through. Definitely getting Nexoplan out of my arm and going back to the pill. Such a shame, I was hoping for no periods :("


"I have been on pain medicines since 1993 for back pain. I have been taking Oxycontin 40 Mg 3x per day, last month my pain management Doctor said that he was no longer writing for Oxycontin because of it showing up on the streets of our community. He said I had the choices of Morphine, Methadone, or Opana ER. I chose Opana so now I am on 30mg twice a day. The only benefit that I am experiencing is that it takes away the withdrawal symptoms and they don't drop you like when an Oxycontin wears off but for me the pain is still there."


"I have fibromyalgia and have slowly got worse over the years. I took Cymbalta 30mg for the first week, suffered a naggy headache for 3 days, but could still work. Pain gone in a week, completely. The only side effect I have is tightening of the throat, which I can live with. Unfortunately the snoring my husband can't. I went to the doctors today and he has put me on Pristiq to see if this stops the tight throat. If not I will go back onto Cymbalta. These had such an amazing effect on my life."


"Oracea worked perfectly for clearing up my rosacea. I used it for 4 years. Now Obamacare has screwed everything up so bad, insurance companies do not cover it anymore.  I can't afford it. rosacea is back.  Guess I am just going to have to be ugly because nothing else seems to work."


"My child has been on Abilify for a while now and we have not noticed any changes really. He still has aggression, self injurious behavior, and extreme levels of impulsivity. I can't take him out in public because he randomly hits people especially small children. If he is prevented from harming others he starts hurts himself until we have to restrain him. He has callouses on his wrists from biting and hitting his mouth repeatedly. The doctor has already increased his Abilify up to 10mg twice a day and he's on Clonidine 0.1mg 6 x's a day, Concerta 54mg a day, Ritalin 10mg a day, and Vistarel 100mg a night and melatonin at night. It's like he is on nothing though. I am terrified to take him off because it might make him worse. I'm so lost."


"I am on a maintenance dose of 1 mg 3 times a day along with a different Xanax .5 if I am having a panic attack. I'm agoraphobic and suffer from anxiety because of multiple reasons. I find klonopin is a amazing medication that helps tremendously. I wouldn't have the life I have today."


"I had Nexplanon for 3 years. The three best years of my life!!! I absolutely love this birth control. I tried the pill and depo shot. The pills I would forgot about taking them on time. Which I didn't like the responsibility. The depo shot was alright. I had no more periods or cramping but I did have mood swings. I gain over 60-something pounds in 4 years. I'm not blaming the shot! Maybe lol. My doctor recommend Nexplanon. I was hesitant but I gave it a try. The Insertion was painless due to numbing meds. The whole process took 5 minutes. Only the first month, I had back pain but no regular periods since then. Just spotting 5 days (total) within three years. A month after getting the implant out, I got my first period (lasted about 5 days)"


"I have just had my 2nd implant taken out. In total I have had it for 6 years. At first it was great, a 5 day period once every 3 months or so. After I had the second one put in this changed to having a period for about 14 days every 1 or 2 months...not so great. I don't think I had the severe moods wings during the 1st stint but I most definitely had them with the second. Also towards the end I had awful stomach pains. I have put on roughly about 2 stone in 6 years despite trying to lose it constantly. I really think that the difference between the two was down to age, I was 17 when it was first put in and I loved it, but the second one between 20-23 really didn't do me any favors!"


"So after reading all the reviews on here which totally saved me from having a panic attack I had to write about my experience. I'm 20 years old and me and my bf had unprotected sex on August 29th, he pulled out but I was still super paranoid so I took Plan B 11 hours later. I had absolutely no side effects so after about a week I was convinced that the pill didn't work for me and even started thinking about how I was going to tell my parents, my friends, the whole thing! So crazy I know.. So anyways I got my period today and am so happy. Trust me even if you don't experience any side effects does not mean the pill isn't working! I promise, Just try not to freak out and keep yourself busy. Also my period came a little less then a week early"


"Worked good with slight side effects (currently pregnant) frequent twitching of the left eye, and very bright yellow colored urine, dry mouth. Side effects were not severe enough to discontinue and the infection was effectively treated."


"Demerol is the only medicine that works for quick relief of pain. I suffer fron chronic pain syndrome. I take 30mg of methadone 4 times a day and then a fentanyl 50 mg patch every 48 hours to control the pain."


"Hot flushes not to bad, suffer from fatigue and bone pain, but the medicine makes me feel safe."


"I have been on Harvoni for 4 weeks. It's cleared my psoriasis up. I was covered with it. I also have lost weight Headaches,  fatigue. Nausea. This is helping me with better than anything thing else I have tried. I have been waiting a long time for this."


"So after my boyfriend and I had sex we realized the condom had broke inside of me. I was terrified and in shock,  all I could think about was my  future, disappointing everyone, & how I'd be looked at during school. I took Plan B less than 30 mins afterwards and started my period 2 days later as crazy as that was. So pretty much the sooner you take it, the better is very true but I believe it could definitely change it by even 3 wks because of another girl who went through the same thing. So don't be scared it's a great pill and invest in it! Put money aside if you could possibly be at risk because no one thinks their condom will break."


"No stomach upset or drowsiness...FINALLY"


"This medicine was a lifesaver! I had horrible morning sickness and took it beginning in my second trimester up until the day before labor! I'd get horribly sick without it. My daughter turned out perfectly healthy."


"Have been taking Provigil for several years, after a head injury, to help with fatigue and focus.  Lost my job, and no health insurance, so decided to try a 14-day free sample of Nuvigil while waiting for prescription assistance.  Was taking 100mg Provigil 1-2 times a day and it helped a lot when I needed it (I went through phases of taking and then not taking it as needed).

On Nuvigil, I was severely manic yesterday (2nd day at 150mg) to the point where my friends were concerned about me. Felt jittery, and my friends said it looked like I was high.  Felt a little like the couple of days when my doctor tried me on Adderal.

I think I will wait until I get the Provigil approved.  "


"I switched from the shot to the pill Bc the shot increased my appetite and I felt like I was going crazy with my emotions on the shot. Since switching to this pill, my appetite is back to normal and my crazed emotions are no longer existent. Would recommend"


"This is one of the worst experience in my entire life. After taking Augmentin , I had diarrhea for a week, yeast infection, dry red rashes at the palm of my hands and inner thighs, hemorrhoids, exhaustion, blurry vision, increased heart rate which caused me not able to sleep. I WILL NEVER take Augmentin again, worst meds in the world."


"I am just starting week 3 of 12 for BCC on my sideburn.

The area turned into a scab almost immediately and is now about the size of a British penny -- it has been sore at times, and I have noticed another spot below it that may just be an insect bite.

I go running most days and I'm pretty healthy - I did notice feeling a bit lethargic and my airways not being so clear, but I'm currently putting that down to the weather and my training regime.

I will update as I progress."


"This stuff burns so bad!!!! I had to take a showe rto make sure all of it was off!!! It irritated me more than the yeast infection itself... horrible medicine!!!"


"I had mild to server acne at different times throughout years but then I finally decided to try Accutane. Initially, I did have an initial breakout which worsened the skin condition (more acne), which lasted for approximately 1.5months. But once the skin started getting better, everything started disappearing slowly and now I'm 4.5 months in and only have the red/brown marks left but all my acne is gone! The first few months will be harsh, and your self-esteem will probably get hit. But just go through the whole cycle - you won't regret it in the end."


"I was on YAZ for about a year and it was a horror trip. After lots of internet research and talking to my doctor I switch to Lybrel. This pill is THE BEST I've ever been on. My mood swings are gone and I have not had any noticeable side effects. Thank you Wyeth for this great product!!!!"


"58 year old male 6 foot 235 pounds high blood pressure,and cholesterol. Three months experience 22 pounds and feeling fine. Sill want to lose 30 -35 more but need to get off the couch and exercise. My problem as the diet part is easily managed now. Thanks for the help and sending me on my way."


"I started using Enbrel two years ago. I can still remember the first night I tried the medication.  I woke up the next morning feeling like 25 lbs was lifted off me.  I suffered since age 27 and now I am 40 and feel great!  Remember to have your blood checked regularly to be sure all is normal."


"I am 57 years old and have had some version of narcolepsy since age 30 or 35. I tried Nuvigil and then added Adderal  but still had breakthrough narcolepsy and cataplexy. The cataplexy broke my foot a year ago and my wrist six months ago. This is the most amazing medication! I would go to bed at midnight and awaken at 10 or 11 in the morning. I would fall asleep for a cumulative 2 to 3 more hours during the day. I awaken between seven and 8 o'clock bright eyed and bushy tail to use my parents phrase. I am fully alert and have no further problems with sleepiness throughout the day.  I am still experiencing occasional morning nausea and inappropriate  diaphoresis or sweating for no reason. An ice pack at the back of my neck will break it."


"A suggestion for people that have insomnia problems with Pristiq--take it in the morning. The first week I was on this I took it at night and there was no sleeping to be had. I've been on it for 8 months now and ever since I switched to mornings and I've been sleeping just fine."


"Loved this birth control, had to change because changed insurance and new insurance would not pay for it. I began taking this my freshman year of college (did gain the freshman 15- well, 17) but I assumed the weight gain was due to stress and eating Taco Bell and drinking. The first few months I had some problems but eventually got on some anxiety medicine and been fine ever since! I loved having my period only every 3 months. No acne. Great birth control! Would recommend to anyone."


"This product has changed my life. I can wear whatever I like now and not feel self conscious. I am on ADHD medication and that is something that causes excessive sweating. (research it thoroughly if you do not believe that)I thought that I would have to sacrifice focusing for the problem of sweating. No more. I do not have the redness and itching side effects. The only regret I have is not finding a provider who would prescribe this for me sooner."


"Worked well, but had to stop due to conscription, blurred vision, and energy."


"I take Pentasa much in the way people take Rolaids.   As soon as I feel like my intestines are reacting poorly I will take 2 pentasa.500mg and my stomach calms down within 10 minutes.  I have no idea why it works for me,  a Crohns patient for 10 years in this way.  I do not ever take it as a preventative medicine.  As a topical way to calm intestine discomfort, it just seems to be miraculous."


"Wife wasted money on it. Like she says, " I'm still fat""


"I have been taking Limitrol for 30 years. I would not be able to exist if it weren't for Limitrol. I had anxiety attacks and bad depression. I take 3 pills at bedtime and sleep like a baby and wake up feeling great. I am 76 yrs old and the only side effect I have is dry mouth. I can handle that. It is a shame my medicare and TexansPlus insurance will not except this medicine."


"Used it for 7 years, no side effects, works great to reduce my Blood Pressure."


"Wonderful drug. I have been on it for over six months and it has remained consistent. I used to be on Concerta, which was ok, but I felt as if it lost its potency. Vyvanse allows me to focus and maintain concentration. It also gives me a boost of energy. At times when I have missed a dose and left the house for the day I have felt tired and disinterested in the activities I was involved in. I have no side effects from it but I rarely have side effects to any drug. I have read that you are not supposed to have vitamin C while on it because it can interfere with the drug's ability to metabolize in one's system. I avoid vitamin C during the day and take some at night. Take it around 8 or 9 so you can sleep at night."


"Naltrexone alone can cause nausea. Wellbutrin alone causes nausea and in some cases permanent ringing in the ears.  I highly recommend everyone listen to your body. Nausea is the body's natural reaction to try to rid itself of something bad (viruses, foods, drugs) whatever it may be. This drug is NOT the answer.  Sure you will lose weight, but at what expense....nausea, ringing in the ears, vertigo and dependence on the drug which is very expensive?"


"I've been taking this for nearly a year now, and I can honestly say I've been heartburn-free since the day after I started taking it. I can eat all the things that I love but used to keep me up all night (tomato sauce, bananas and peanut butter were the worst).

It is quite expensive, about a $1 a pill with insurance, but worth every penny. It's can also be a hassle because I have to wait to eat in the morning after I take it, but I am able to get something at work.

I took Tagamet for a while, then Zantac (75 and then 150), and both those stopped working after a few months. Tums, Rolaids and all the other chewables, and liquids like Mylanta all quit working years ago. My doctor decided to step it up and prescribe this to me and my life changed."


"I have been taking nuvigil since 2012 started on provigil built a tolerance against it in 2 months. I take 250 mg a day but I split the pill and take each half at specific times usually  between 6-9 am the other at 3pm to 6pm (depends when I took the first one) seems to help me stay awake a little more that way. It lasts for about 1-2 hours on me with each half."


"Good medicine"


"It does what it says, so 3 stars. If you like orange oil coming out your butt, missing work, and fryer grease farts, then you'll like Alli. I'm thinking, if you don't have a lot of fat in your food, then it might be tolerable, but I'm not willing to find out. "


"This works within 30 mins. After the first pill my legs stopped burning and tingling one of the only medicines I ever found that worked so fast."


"When I first got Implanon I was really excited about the positive potential it could have.  I had been on the pill and wanted something I didn't have to think about taking as well as the possibility of not having such a heavy cycle.  The insertion wasn't painful, although for a few days after my arm was really sore with a pretty large bruise.  I had the Implanon put in mid November and my cycle didn't stop.  My sex drive decreased and after having my period for months I started to get depressed.  I know for some people this birth control.  I have now started Loestrin 24FE and I have nothing but good things to say."


"My experience with Effexor was absolutely terrible. I was prescibed this for my depression (3rd medication I tried) The reason I gave it 2/10 was because I didn't feel any worse mentally on this (did not feel the slightest bit better either), but if it wasn't for that I would have given it a 0/10 if possible. The side effects and withdrawal was absolutely terrible. The head "zaps" started to cause unbearable migraines, I had no appetite, and my vision was blurred some days. The withdrawal was something I've never experienced before and I hope that I will never have to go through it again. I was completely bed ridden due to the unbearable migraines, sweating, and vomiting. Everyone is different, but this did not work out for me."


"I began sertraline 50 mg approximately four weeks ago. I wasn%u2019t sure weather to take it at night or in the morning so I experimented with both. I found that during the day I would become very lethargic and yawn constantly with little energy but would then wake up in the middle of the night stimulated regardless of the time I took it. This frustrated me as I have always had a good sleep schedule and am an active person during the day, but I had read that others had experienced similar side effects and the effects eventually ceased. I felt better for several days%u2014not as downcast, brooding, heavy.

After three weeks of taking it, the effect seemed to even out and I found myself struggling with feelings of hopelessness and doubt again. I felt better, certainly, just still struggling%u2014I don't expect a pill to %u201Ccure%u201D me of negative thoughts. I know I have control over my own thoughts, but it was that feeling of heaviness that tends to settle upon me%u2014like a dark cloud. When I went back to my doctor for the follow up, he increased it to 100 mg. I said let%u2019s try 75 mg first. He agreed.

Within a couple weeks of taking 75 mg I still yawned a lot but I wasn%u2019t having trouble with lethargy and sleep issues as much. My attitude was much better. For example, I found that I really am a funny and silly person! I forgot that I was funny being under depression. I didn%u2019t realize how serious I had become, how reclusive. I also found my creativity really opened up. I had forgotten how creative I was. I also have been going to the gym and eating well. I try and smile and interact with people more%u2014even if I don%u2019t feel like it. I may just greet people or hold the door for them but it%u2019s better than me avoiding people like I used to. Some days are harder than others, but I can say that overall my experience with sertraline has been positive."


"Hi
I have been on pregabalin for over a year. Started at 75 mgs and thought it was going to work but it only lasted 1
day. I got up to 150 mgs twice a day with no positive effect. I am now down to 100 mgs twice a day. I have had no weight gain. I am on a few other meds but I still suffer daily with this awful anxiety. I am trying transcranial magnetic simulation right now and have about 3 weeks of treatments left, it hasn't helped me yet.
The only thing that works for me is benzodiazepines and I become tolerant very quickly."


"I started on Diethylpropion 75 mg once a day about a week ago. I've lost 5 pounds and feel good. Lot's of energy without the jitters. I highly recommend this medication for weight loss."


"Med works but the side effect is horrible. After taking it, the pain and soreness in Prostate is gone in a few hours. But I got Nasal congestion and a severe headache! I only took it once."


"I started this bc pill to regulate my period and then used as a birth control option. I always use a condom too so I can't give an honest opinion on how well it worked in that department.
My shoulders and back had some mild acne but it's all cleared up by now, and I've been on the pill for 6 months. My face still get the occasional bump or two, but nothing nearly as bad. My body synced up to the pill and my period is light and only 3 days long.
The worst side effects are nausea and the mood swings. I cry a lot easier now and seem irritable. The spotting stopped within the first two months of taking the pill."


"I've had it for 2, almost 3 years now and I'm debating if I should get another implant when the time comes.  I haven't had a period the entire time,  so that's a plus I guess.  My side effects change every month.  (Ex: oily face / back  which lead to acne one month, random cramps no blood the next month, constant  headaches and moodiness the next,  and so on). My depression actually worsened while on it. I also noticed I began having panic attacks a month after getting the implant. All of these don't really compare to what really bugs me about this form of birth control. I've gained almost 40 pounds since being on Nexplanon.  I've been on diets and everything. It just gets worse. But at least I'm not pregnant right?"


"I felt I needed to add one of these, it was the only thing making me feel better when I went through it. But basically I had sex with this guy (not my boyfriend, which sucked because I felt like I was alone in this) and we didn't use a condom (stupid, I know). The next day I used an ovulation calendar and found I was in my prime that week (great). I went to buy the pill but it was sold out at all the stores I kept going to, and I had plans that day so I couldn' t get one until that night. I was stressing because I know the sooner, the better. Well it was almost 24 hours and I took it. Next few weeks were SCARY and my period was late a few days (I was freaking) but it came! Never so happy to wake up to that! So hang in there, it works"


"I would not recommend this to ANYONE. I have had bleeding in my urine for over two weeks and the doctors associated it with a UTI. After being given macrobid, and symptoms persisting they gave me septa. I took it for two days twice a day with food was fine, on the third day not so much. I began shaking uncontrollably, dry mouth, I was incoherent to the point I couldn't even understand what people were saying to me, heart was racing, I was dizzy, and extremely nauseous. It literally felt like I had been roofied (drugged up) . I don't even remember half the night and I had horrible insomnia.
 I don't even understand how this is on the market. Would never EVER take this again."


"Gave me a dry cough so I stopped using it."


"All I can say if you don't mind bleeding this is good for you!!!! I've had it for 5 months after I had my daughter ,and it's been none stop bleeding!!!! Come Monday I'm calling my doctor to see when I can get mine taken out!!! I'm tired and tired of bleeding I love to have sex but since I've had this I don't!!! Again I bleed so much I think it's something wrong this is a no go for me... true you won't get pregnant, but the side effects make you not want to do the things to get you pregnant!!!"


"I have been ill for 40 of my 52 years with my rare condition called Autonomic Nerve Dysfunction(POTS).

The pain I suffer from this condition is so bad I roll around the bed in pain , cannot walk and am bedridden at times and am unable to think straight.

I started Oxycodone 3 years ago because my pain level reached 10 at times.

I take 40mg of slow release every 24 hours (plus other drugs) since another tumor was found. I've added 20mg at night because I cannot lay on my arm until sorted.

I DO NOT drive with this in my system, but other than this I've had no side effects. This drug gave me back my life and I can actually smile again."


"Suboxone is a "MIRACLE"  and has saved my life from abusing prescription painkillers for 3 years. I was taking up to twelve 10mg Percocets everyday for those 3 years and thought I could never escape the "percs". I finally found the BEST doctor in the world who actually listens and cares about my situation and started me on Suboxone and now I've been clean for over a year and never had cravings for Percocets while taking Suboxone. Suboxone lets me live my life feeling not "high" but normal.

Now 10/9/10 there is Suboxone Film and its outstanding. Works so much better than the orange tablets. "


"I have been taking Concerta 54mg for 10 years now. In early 2002, I was put on Adderall 10mg. The first day of the 10mg, I came home from school and said, "I'm never taking this again." Twice I tried to pick a fight with my classmates. Concerta was like a miracle. I could focus on my work (instead of splitting my attention between my work and drawings or books or video games), and I didn't feel any major side effects. A couple years after starting it, the difference, minor at first, was remarkable between the days I would and would not take it. I've had increasing depression for the past 5 years, though, and I'm wondering if it's because of the Concerta..."


"After 3 1/2 months of using Limbrel I became vilolently ill. I had extreme nausea, vomiting, feverish, chills, achy. My primary doctor ran blood work and it came back that I was anemic with liver problems. After 15 days of feeling like I had food poisoning, I searched online and found that there were dozens of people with the same symptoms and some even went to the hospital.

I stopped taking the Limbrel right away and started feeling better within 48 hrs. After 7-8 days I was back to 100%."


"I suffer from hypochondria and panic disorder. I was so afraid to take medication. After 2 years I finally took Cipralex. It has made my anxiety a lot more tolerable. I've had a few major panic attacks but overall good experience. I've been on 20mg for 2 years."


"On first day severe nausea headache and vomiting. Couldn't get out of bed and had to stop taking."


"I am taking this drug for an arrhythmia and have been since July 2016. I didn't even know I had any condition until I passed out and ended in hospital, I am now 39. I have found that I get off balance from doing to much or if walking around for to long i need to take "breaks". The last week I've started getting major headaches, going to Dr this week about those.

I am interested in knowing if anyone has continued their usual workouts? Or if they have been on scary rides at theme parks or even rock climbing etc. will be asking Dr if ok etc but I have been so scared to do too much because of this new condition that my life is not the same and I want my life back!!! "


"After going to the dentist and starting on my meds from a root canal, I experienced severe pain. I was taking Tylenol 3 and Motrin with an antibiotic and could not bare the pain any longer. Went to ER and the Doc gave me a shot of Toradol and it was able to settle the pain till I see the dentist in the morning. A miracle pain medicine."


"Worked great for many months. Then I started noticing my hair falling out, bladder irritation, and then the dark spots that were staying put while the rest of my summer tan was fading. It was great while it lasted though."


"Worst birth control ever. My pharmacy randomly switched me to this 6 months ago after I had been on Microgestin for 2 1/2 years. Since being on Blisovi, I have gained 10 lbs, fainted twice, have horrible headaches and dizzy spells, nauseous constantly, no appetite, very sad, and get angry very easily. I also have barely any sex drive whatsoever. I barely have energy to want to do anything. I could sleep all day if I let myself. I've never felt so horrible in my entire life. After getting sick of gaining weight and fainting, I am finally stopping the pill. It is not worth it. BC is literal poison to the body. This brand just happens to be the worst one."


"I have been using Sronyx for just about 3 months now and I am definitely not too fond of it. It makes me extremely moody. I get mad easily and at times I feel like I just want to cry for just about anything. Because of this, it messed up my relationship quite a bit and I have absolutely no desire to keep taking it. I'm going to keep at it for a little while longer to see if I get any better and to see if the side effects go away."


"Was not hungry for hours, worked the same as Percocet 10 or Vicodin 10. Did give me bossy attitude."


"Been taking Otezla for 3 weeks. The first week I had a mild but persistent headache, bad heartburn and nausea, bloating, and muscle cramps in my legs. By the second week the headache was gone and down to slight nausea for a few hours after taking a dose. PsA is much improved, lesions are slightly better. By the 3rd week I am having very slight nausea but the PsA is almost gone. My knees, back and hands and feet feel almost normal. Lesions are still improving but very slowly. I'm still using steriod topicals and an occasional dose of Naproxen for joint pain."


"This medicine is amazing. I was a smoker for about 13yrs I wasn't really excited about quitting didn't really want to to be honest but when I had my 32nd birthday and started having heart murmurs, trouble breathing and lots of nagging from my boyfriend (a non smoker) that I stink, I thought I better make some changes. I'm very glad I did. I started the pills on November 10th 2009 continued to smoke that week, had minor dizziness and nausea that first week and cut down a lot on cigarettes. I was 1/2 a pack a day to about 1/2 a cigarette twice a day on the eighth day. Nov 17th 2009 I was completely done, the smell makes me nauseous to this day and currently I am on the 7th day of being smoke free and loving it. Overall since taking the medication I have had minor nausea which lasts like 5 min, cravings off and on but only for like 10 min or so and they go away I haven't had any scary dreams just vivid ones mostly enjoyable ones it seems for me as the days go by with the help of what I refer to as the "miracle drug" the days are getting easier and easier. My blood pressure has gone down a lot, my taste and smell has improved as well my best wishes go out to everyone who along with myself who is on this difficult journey or thinking of quitting continue to be strong and be smoke free for good."


"I've only been on Paxil for about two weeks, but I can already tell a significant difference. I'm feeling much more optimistic, and much more motivated than I was before going on the medication. That being said, my sex drive has dropped and I also have trouble urinating sometimes."


"Does not work for me. I have nerve damage due to back surgery."


"My 3-yr old had severe, rare behavioral side effects to all the other asthma controller meds; they changed him from a shy, sweet boy into an angry and aggressive one. With Alvesco he is a LOT more himself and only slightly angrier and energetic. I recommend trying this medicine to see if it works better for you, too. It has kept our child out of the hospital and we are thankful for that."


"After 2 1/2 years of horrible acne, during which I was on antibiotics & topicals that never ended up working, my dermatologist and Dr. suggested I should try birth control. I went to Planned Parenthood and was put on Microgestin Fe 1/20. After about 6 months on this pill, I actually lost weight (due to nausea at first), breasts grew, lighter periods every month, and no change in everything else. As for my acne, it probably got better about 40%, but still had at least 3-5 pimples/cysts all the time and no reduction in face oiliness. Trial and error, now trying Ortho Tri Cyclen."


"I was late being diagnosed with ADHD, (late 40s) I was diagnosed Bipolar in 1992, but never felt this was the correct diagnosis as my meds never helped me with all the different thoughts going on in my head. As soon as I started concerta, I felt more relaxed, my concentration improved greatly and I could sleep peacefully without any benzodiazepines. I am currently (for over 4 years) on a dose of 72mg, it still is as effective as when I started and luckily I haven't any of the listed side effects. I think if anybody feels they have ADHD they should seek Psychiatric help to do the relevant tests."


"I started yesterday 8/2 after reading review for about 2 weeks.. I think I scared myself! So last night no sleep thinking I was going to have nightmares! But I was tossing and turning I think I did that to myself.. But pills make me feel a little dizzy but my start weight is 230! So I'll keep you guys update! But I definitely donot feel hungry at all! Only starting with one pill a day not two"


"I have been taking adderall for quite some time but this month I went to CVS and got my normal 10mg, took them and felt NOTHING by the end of day I had taken 60mg, way more than normal and felt NOTHING but a headache. Got my dr to switch the script to 20mg went back and got a faded looking orange pill with U30 on it, first of all it was all crumbly then it was BITTER instead of the normal sweet taste, I have taken 60mg again and I'm about to fall asleep!!! CVS must know they are selling rubbish!!! Next month I won't fill unless I make sure its not from these people!!"


"I was diagnosed with ADHD in 06 and I found out in order to have ADHD as an adult you had to have it as a child so I look back on my childhood in Real Life 4 did have ADHD as kid but never got treatment for it because my mom didn't believe any mental illness so I didn't start treatment with the ADHD until 2006 I was placed on Ritalin but I found it to be ineffective and then I stopped treatment and I started treatment up again a few months ago and I was giving our all and I found it to be very effective working but with 2 major side effect keeps me awake and constipation , but outside of those two it works wonderfully."


"worst yeast infection ever!  Running to the bathroom all the time, didn't make it a few times, glad that happened at home."


"Always been 80 lbs since high school. No appetite, always ate in small portions. Taken this medication before but the 1st time I took in 2011 I gained weigh but also gained esophagus spasms from all the gorging I did so it's now permanently a side effect, yay. I started taking it again Feb 22, 2017 weighed in at 80.6 lbs, as of today, March 23, 2017, I'm weighing in at 100.4. I haven't taken it in 3 days to see if I can keep the appetite and use when needed. It's a great weight gain but there are side effects. Mine include no period, no sex drive, severe cold night sweats, hot flashes, the esophagus spasms, & swelling of arms & legs when active. These are the pros that some may consider cons- constantly hyper."


"I have just finished my Second month on Sronyx. First of all I had clear skin before I started taking this birth control pill, right after I began to take the pills my forehead started to breakout in pimples. I was very unhappy about that but my doctor told me to wait it out for the first 3 months in order for my body to adjust to the hormones. While on my second month I broke out BAD the week before my period but it was due to my period coming up. My only side effect is me breaking out, if it weren't for that I would be giving it a 10! I have no other side effects or mood swings which I love and it actually helps me control my hunger I don't feel as hungry as I did before which has helped me lose about 8 lbs!"


"Significant weight gain experienced within a few months.  VERY tough on the libido. Extremely difficult to get off this medication without significant side effects - dizziness, nausea. I was taking Celexa before and would definitely go back. For the purposes of banishing depression/anxiety, it worked, but not without side effects that make me want to stop taking it each day."


"I suffer from recurrent uni's, this is by far the worst one I have had 3 weeks of anti b's and still have the infection, I hate Nitrofurantoin, makes me feel sick, tired lack of energy and at the moment I have loss of appetite and a headache and loose and frequent bowel movements. I personally feel I can developed a tolerance for the anti-biotics. Even though my symptoms to go for a few days, I don't feel any better within myself as the antibiotics pose more problems."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Tastes awful. Better to drink it all down in one go rather than taking small sips. Shat myself a little later cause I thought it was only gas. Spent the next 45 minutes shitting liquid."


"This pill works. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he did not pull out in time and came in me complete. I freaked out and I took plan b within a half hour and got my period 4 days later. It was such a relief. For any girl out there freaking out just relax and take a deep breath. It works!"


"I have always experienced small bouts of anxiety and depression before but nothing that ever really stuck around. A few months ago something caused me to become anxious, which lead to a panic attack which then lead to depression, and no matter what I did I just couldn't shake it. I couldn't eat, sleep, no desire to do anything, always anxious. I went to my doctor who put me on Lexapro. It immediately helped with my anxiety, and within a few days my depression lifted. I have now been on Lexapro for over 2 months and feel back to my normal self.

Initial side effects: Very sleepy for about 3 days, nausea for a couple of nights.

I still experience: Vivid dreams and low sex drive.

I never experienced: Weight gain or insomnia.

Overall very happy."


"I did not feel any great improvement to asthma.

Side effects were numerous to me but the ones that were more to disturb the stomach and abdominal pain and diarrhea,"


"I've been on the pill for almost a month, no break through bleeding, but light cramps and headaches but not severe. I guess I can say that's good compared to some others comments but I'm getting off the pill today because I just got on it because I wanted fewer periods but I absolutely hate cramps and headaches. Hope it works for you."


"I have been suffering with cold sores for 20 years now, they usually happen once a year. I am so horrified when they happen, I take work off, and basically live in my house for 2 weeks. I came across a YouTube video after feeling a bump coming on and that's when I came across Zovirax. I thought what the heck I've tried everything else. I went to my doctor same day (thank god I got in). It cost me about 90$ but it was worth it. This stuff is a god send! My cold sore was already at the blister stage so it was day 2. Applied the cream all day for 2 days, you can't even tell I have a cold sore! There is nothing! I wish I knew about this stuff years ago. Would have saved me a lot of agony."


"I have been on this drug for over a year now and it's safe to say mirtazapine saved my life I was having really bad anxiety for 3 to 4 month and that brought on the depression it got that bad I was running into the wall to try stop the feeling. After the doctors seen me they put me on Mirtazapine on 15mg for 6 week. I dramatically seen a difference in the anxiety but still was feeling really down so the doctors put in up to 30mg and have been on since. I can go to my job with no problems. But every now and then the anxiety still comes back but I'm learning to deal with the issue that bring the anxiety on"


"I have had three episodes of Diverticulitus in the last five years.  Because I had pretty rough experiences with Flagyl / Cipro combination in my previous episodes, I asked for the pharmacist to advise me, with my prior history in mind. I really wanted this time to be different. He said the most important advice is DO NOT USE ALCOHOL, which sounds like common sense; but that includes mouthwash. (you might swallow a bit)  It's a slow recovery; absolutely. I live in So Cal and this was during a heat wave, but I slept day and night the first few days with a heating pad on my lower adbomen. The pharmacy confirmed Tylenol is okay pain, also.  It's not a walk in the park, but I did better this time, even with other minor side effects."


"I absolutely loved it at first then all of the sudden NON STOP bleeding, literally non STOP for the past 4 months. Clots of blood at this point. I am getting this removed immediately."


"I have always had the fear of speeches. Everyday I would play a scene in my head whereby im asked to present in front of the team and this was my worst nightmare. It influenced many choices I have made (what courses to take, whether to apply for jobs with presentations etc).

I had tried meditation, been on public speaking courses, I even used alcohol to get through some.

Eventually I went to the doctors and prescribed propanolol, I took 10mg 2 hours and then 10mg 30 mins before a presentation. Today I managed to present in front of 50 people for the first time. I was hesitant just before... but once up there I was cool and calm. It was AMAZING. No shaky voice or hands, I just did it. One of the most significant days of my life."


"I have had severe plaque psoriasis on my scalp for 5 years and up until this medication literally nothing had helped me. I did every topical, several drugs and even a uv light to treat it. Once it spread to my body I had had enough and was put on this medication. It has almost cleared up my psoriasis completely, and it works fast. However the side effects for me have been horrific. I am terribly nausous and have diahrea literally every time I take it, this subsides within the hour and I can carry on with my day. Yes it's horrible and I've considered stopping the medication; however the fact that I haven't should be proof of just how well it works."


"Awesome stuff. I'm a nursing assistant in a nursing home and ended up getting a migraine in the middle of my shift. Nothing usually helps my migraines, let alone gets ride of them completely. But my migraine was 100% gone within ten minutes of taking Excedrin Extra Strength. It was amazing! Never gonna need anything else for my migraines."


"Was put on 10mg Lexapro for general anxiety.  I was on it for 5 days and just had to stop. Horrible anxiety, feelings of depression I have never had before, absolutely no appetite, migraine, bad dreams, falling asleep at work while getting more than enough sleep at night, forgetful in my everyday tasks, overall hazy and strange feeling.  Will go back to Ativan and will never take an SSRI for my anxiety again-not worth it."


"I've been taking Celexa for a few weeks now. I've gained alot of weight.. so much in fact we thought I was pregnant! AND I'M NOT! I've been feeling nauseous, and having cramps. I dont want to have sex anymore and when we do I can't have an orgasm. My period is down to just barely anything (I have an IUD that I've had for 3 years). Celexa does make me a happier person. I'm playing with my kids now, which before I wouldn't. I just wanted to be left alone and wanted to play my computer. Now I do things with my family, I feel happier. "


"I took one dosage, and it made me ill."


"I was on zenzedi for about 6 months. I loved it! I have only tried Ritalin for my ADD and it made me psychotic, and once I stopped taking it I was too scared to take anything else. Well 10 years later, and sick of my ADD, I was prescribed this medication and it worked! I also had no beginning side effects.  The only complaint I have is how quickly it wore off, but it could be my own metabolism and anyone else could be different. However, due to my new insurance I am switching to Adderall XR, I'll write an comparison opinion when I begin taking it."


"18 years old. 4th month. Some symptoms: sickness (worse right after taking the pill and more around 1-4am), migraines, bad cramps (on and off period), nausea (I still haven't vomited but there are times where I think it'll be more satisfying then feeling like it), my stomach sticks out like a balloon, I've been pretty emotional (I get really sad and have no idea why), I fainted twice and get dizzy often, my body feels weak and I bruise easily, both knees cramp up, but my period is regular and light and my acne has went down.. also I'm not pregnant so that's good too."


"I'm known to be a little paranoid, but everything turned out just fine. Took the pill about 7 hours after sexual intercourse, experienced side effects such as headaches, dizziness, and spotting a week later. After 8 days of experiencing the side effects, I finally got my period. Definitely recommend it!"


"I have Implanon for about 5 months, no bleeding, only spotting. I had my period only once. I don't have any mood swings, I am more relaxed, no PMS. Sometimes light headache, but goes away in few minutes. It doesn't cost me any trouble and save on pads (usually used all package heavy ones and half package light ones). So far no problem."


"This medicine made me gain about 15-20 lbs when I was staying at the hospital when I was 13. I'm now 22. I started taking Geodon a few weeks ago and I'm feeling much better. No more paranoia in the night at all anymore. No thoughts that there's a serial killer watching me or a serial killer in a room in my house or on a chair in the room I'm in. I'm on Risperdal, I'm trying to get off of it completely because it also made me gain a lot of weight also. I'm 166 right now and 5'8'. I used to always be slim and have no hunger. I'm also on Paxil which hasn't helped me with my depression at all, just a terrible medicine and I'm on Lamictal which has helped keep stable - I have the manic type."


"Works great. Side affects made me not take it anymore"


"I had less GI problems starting this than I did with Zoloft and other drugs like it.  I haven't gotten nausea or diarrhea. My appetite is lower which is good since the other meds made me gain weight. I actually noticed myself feeling pretty good after about a month on 10mg. My doctor then increased me to 20mg. At the dose I had no problem with my social anxiety and my general anxiety was close to zero. It also worked amazingly for my depression."


"I've been taking bupropion for 5 weeks now and I am SO thankful! Teaching high school was becoming almost impossible. Try dealing with a room full of teenagers all day long when you are depressed, have no energy, no motivation and can't think straight. And I'd come home too tired and achy to exercise. I didn't even know how bad it was till I started feeling normal again. Now I can think straight, I have energy, faith in myself and no more muscle aches. And NO side effects. (well one little one- less appetite so I don't bother to cook dinner for myself regularly anymore). I just feel like me again! I am so grateful!"


"Worked at first to bring heartburn/acid re-flux under control, however I had to stop taking it because it started causing severe stomach & abdominal pain. Now control through diet & Tums EX. The pain from the Protonix side effect was terrible when it started happening."


"I'm not even done with my first pack yet, just got to the white pills. My cramps are worse than they have ever been, I'm constantly feeling sick and it didn't not lighten my flow at all and clotting has gotten worse. I'm sure this BC works for some but if definitely does not work for me."


"This medication was prescribed to me for appetite suppression. I have been on it for 6 days now and have had no real side effects. I feel I may have had some depression issues I was not completely aware of, as I feel a bit more positive and in better spirits.  I think it's too soon to tell overall how well this medication works.  As of now, I have not experienced appetite suppression."


"I was vomiting for over a day. I was ready to go to the hospital for an IV because I was so dehydrated. As a last ditch effort, I asked my husband to go to the drug store and ask the pharmacist if there was something OTC that could help... they recommended this. I took it, and it was all I needed. No more vomiting after the dose... a God send!"


"Was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at the start of the year having suffered with severe neck and upper back pain.  The deep pain especially in the upper back right in between the shoulder blades was unbearable most of the time.  I had the symptoms for over 2 years before the diagnosis and had almost 80 sessions of treatment with 11 different therapists.

Anyway started taking duloxetine, gabapentin and Cocodamol in January.  Started gabapentin at 300 mg a day and built up to 1800mg a day by the end of March.  Over the last few weeks I feel that I am starting to get my life back.  Not totally pain free but I now have spells where the pain is bearable.  So if you have just started on this,  be patient and fingers crossed you will get relief."


Influenza virus vaccine, live, trivalent

"This was very simple to use.  I thought it would be great.  My 3 year old has vomiting as a side effect. My 6 year old and I seem to have no side effects."


"Absolutely ineffective for my GAD....stuck with it for a year based on pdoc advice. Now I have to deal with tapering. What a mistake that has been.

Additionally, I have tried several other ssri's as well as a few ssri's all to no avail. Suicidal thoughts, intolerable side effects, lack of any efficacy.

Without Benzodiazepan's I would not be here now."


"This has helped better than anything else I have tried."


"In my opinion, there are a lot of pros and cons for this medication. I took it for a while with no ill effect, but something must have changed, and it made me feel extremely ill (dizziness, heart palpitations, nausea, headache.)  I stopped taking it because of this and definitely noticed a difference. I think that taking a half a pill every few hours has eliminated my problems with the medication and works to keep me awake and focused for longer."


"I experience gout in my big toe (right usually I believe).  I had a flare at night while on vacation (for hiking, walking) and walked quite bit the following day (with a good deal of pain).  Three days later it was as bad as it's ever been. Red, hot, swollen and inflamed.  I was in Maui with my wife.  What caused it was 2 meals with healthy servings of Ahi, a 10 hour plane ride with little water and alcohol - wine, a beer, martinis.  I overflowed the purine bucket.  I called my Dr. Daughter and she wrote me a script.  I took the entire first row as soon as I got it (per her directions).  Within 2-3 hours, the gnawing pain subsided, I was able to sleep all night and walk (hobble) in the AM.  I'm 75% better after 24 hours, but can't go on walk."


"I began Contrave in early 2015, and as of July I have lost 25 pounds. This is significant because I was not very big to begin with, and I stopped taking the medicine for a few months in the middle. I began as recommended, and the side effects hit me immediately. I was nauseous, constantly tired, had abdominal pain, lack of focus, and I became sick any time I put any food in my mouth. I guess it was a great way to lose weight, but not the way I wanted to do it. I was miserable. So I quit for a while, but decided to give it a second chance. I did not increase my dosage as quickly, and I only went up to 2 pills a day. I still have occasional loss of concentration and fatigue, but it is no where near as bad, and I'm losing weight."


"I have been experiencing IBS constipation for over 30 years because of hypothyroidism. My doctor first prescribed Linzess 145 mcg which at first was working for a day or 2 but once my body got used to it I was back again not having a bowel movement. I have to take my thyroid medicine in the morning with my Linzess, both say take on an empty stomach. So I started taking 145 mcg once in the morning and then once at 5 pm in the afternoon when I got home from work. It helped some but not much as I needed to take smooth move tea at night to help it along. Then my doctor prescribed 290 once in the morning. Well I've had not luck even with the smooth move tea and it's been almost 2 weeks without a bowel movement. Don't know where to go for help."


"I had Implanon put in December 2009, now 2 years in. I've had lots of medical problems and not sure the cause. A few months in started getting bad mood swings, could have been postpartum depression. But thyroid actually was way off. I'm still on antidepressant and taking medicine for thyroid. I am still on going to lots of doctor visits to find out cause of hormonal problems, no doctor has been able to help me."


"I just had it last month and so far so good, I have not had any major side effect except for a little mood swing and I have not had my period since am exclusively breastfeeding my 4 month old. so am just learning a lot from the reviews"


"Works excellent. Went on. Whale watch with family. Took it 1 hour before boat trip and it worked awesome. I Even was able to have food on the boat with no nausea."


"I get the shot of Invega Sustenna 156mg once every 4 weeks. I am 62 and have tried everything in every research hospital in Indiana and Illinois. I use it as monotherapy along with counseling and it has revolutionalized my life.  I have no side effects.  I work full time as a school teacher and I am working on my master's degree and expect to graduate soon.  I finally found my own miracle in this medicine. I am so grateful to my new doctor, nurse, and therapist and now to you who are reading this. "


"Started the trial exactly 2 weeks ago. Weighed in at 305, 5'9" I am at my heaviest weight, even heavier (20#!!) Than being 9 months pregnant. First week I lost 8#, it makes me super tired, a little crabby, and I get a small headache. This week I went down to 1 pill a day hoping it wouldn't make me exhausted. Still tired and only lost 2.5# but also on my monthly this week. Ugh. Trial is up and I am not sure I want to fork over the $75 each refill. I'm conflicted. So yes it helps curb appetite and helped me lose over 10#! But I'm also drinking a ton of water and working out 3 days a week."


"Had my third shot today; bi-lateral. I have to say I have seen a major improvement in both knees. I would wake up at night and go to turn over, my lower leg would not move and my upper leg (above the knee) would pop and grind on the joint. When this happens now I can feel the upper and lower joints cushioned by the Orthovisc. I felt relief about 3 weeks after the first set of shots.

I am confident that after the 3rd set of shots I will have the pain relief I am looking for.

I would recommend to anyone give this a try before you have total knee replacement."


"I started Trinessa a month and a half ago after being on Ortho Tri cyclen Lo for a year. So far it's been great with helping my painful periods, clearing up acne, and preventing pregnancy. The only complaint I have is the slight nausea every now and then along with feeling fatigued, I assume this should go away the more I use it so right now it's a waiting game. Other than that I like it."


"First impression: Just got recommended this by the dermatologist and used it tonight. So far it seems fine, just annoying to apply as a lotion on my scalp since my hair is thick and my seb. derm. is all over  in different places on my head it took like 20 minutes. I might use it as a rinse depending if I got in on all the way or not by applying it as a lotion. It definitely calms the itching but feels a little stingy which is common and normal I just have to adjust to it. The smell is not really noticeable it smells a lot better than Tgel. It feels more like a oil than a lotion. We will see if this works! Fingers crossed in the mean time I'll hide in my french beret hat hoping that my head will clear up."


"Okay I'm writing this review for all of the young ladies who are afraid to get the skyla. I got it today and IT DOESN'T HURT at all. It's all of a 10 minute process, if that long . They give you a medicine to take the night before and as long as you take that you're good to go . I also took something for cramps about 30 minutes before the appointment. When inserted you only feel MILD cramps , just as if you were getting your cycle. It's not painful and trust me I don't take pain well. I'm 19 and this is definitely the best decision for girls our age . Not having to worry about any surprises for three years is something we need !"


"I was given a prescription of 30mg Restoril by my GP doctor to help combat recurring bouts of insomnia. While it did nothing to help me fall asleep, it did help me in a couple of other ways. I frequently suffer from tension headaches and noticed after 15 minutes of my first dose the headache was completely eradicated which lead me to believe that it does well as a muscle relaxer . Another property of the drug which I found helpful was a significant decrease in anxiety and made me more comfortable in social situations . I never felt "high" just an increased desire to interact with my fellow peers. So while I can't give it a glowing review for the reason it was prescribed, other effects outweighed the uselessness of the intended treatment."


"I had Shingles in March and was given two meds - one was an antiviral and the other for pain.   The pain pill they gave me didn't mix with my meds.  I went without the pain med.  Then the beginning of April the pain came. It got worse and worse. April, May, June, July ever increasing pain around the shingles area. Went to my family doctor in Jul and she prescribed Doloxtine 30mg.  Well I read the pill first.  I read and wanted to avoid ALL Side affects.  So I continued without the pill and took tramadol and a local ointment.  The pain was constant and intense. Aug 3 back to my family Doc. She insisted I try the  Doloxtine about 3 days later almost no pain. Yesterday she increased it to 60mg.  So far so good, I shouldn't be so stubborn."


"Was on Serzone for 10 years. The best antidepressant ever and I have been on most of them since my tour in Vietnam. No sexual side effects on like SSRI`s or SNRI`s. Then they took it off the market. Just recently went back to nefazodone. Serzone works so good."


"Tomorrow will be my 3rd colonoscopy in a 2 year period. I have never done a liquid prep before. I took 2 Dulcolax, then about 2 and 1/2 hours later, I went into the bathroom with the Suprep mix. To me, the taste was dreadful. I had to gulp it down and chase it with some clear juice. I had it all gone on less than a minute. It worked very quick. Within 5-10 minutes of taking it. No pain at all. But I have a feeling I may be on the toilet all night. My bottom is very sore as well, but that is to be expected. I have been going roughly every 10 minutes for the last 7 hours. All in all, this does its job pretty effectively!"


"I went years without getting help until about 8 months ago when I finally broke down, saw a doctor, and was prescribed Zoloft. This pill has given me my life back. I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, specifically intrusive/disturbing thoughts and obsessions. This disorder occupied all of my time and energy, to the point where life was unbearable and hopeless. About two weeks after starting Zoloft there were noticeable improvements. After 6 weeks, I was a different person. Anxiety-0, OCD, still there but more of a minor in convenience than life consuming. Side effects were typical at first: nausea, diarrhea, lightheaded, and insomnia. All of which subsided after a few weeks. I highly recommend that if you diagnosed, ask for Zoloft."


"I've been taking Velivet for about a year now because I started to have periods that lasted all month which resulted in anemia. My only complaint is that the cramps are quite bad, but it's done its job for me, so I can't complain!"


"My 10-yr old son has been taking 1 mg Abilify in the morning for the past 4 months.  He used to be prone to loud shouting, hitting, spitting, etc. at home, but now little things don't bother him as much and he's easier to reason with.  No side effects from this dose seem apparent so far.

He's also taking 36 mg Concerta for ADD symptoms which would otherwise keep him from functioning for more than a couple of hours in the classroom.  He's also taking Depakote for seizure control.  He's been seizure-free for 2.5 years now, and we are gradually reducing that dose to zero.  Eventually, we hope to reduce all these drugs to zero, one at a time."


"Being asthmatic, I often suffer bronchial infections. I had borderline pneumonia a few months ago - a one week course of Biaxin XL cleared it up. I am now taking Biaxin XL again because I have bronchitis and after two days am breathing much better - it is also clearing up my ear infection.  Only downside to this medication is the metallic taste in the mouth and some wild dreams. I recommend drinking plenty of water to keep you hydrated while on Biaxin XL."


"My dad uses this medication for 3 years now, after he was staying in the hospital with heart failure for almost 10 days. He never had that situation repeated since that..."


"This drug is fine for me. It makes me feel foggy, tired and just out of sorts for a few hours but i can still function. The headaches are the worst part. I'm on day 4 so I'm sticking it out!"


"I just started Adderal 20mg about a week now. Before I was on 10 mg, not extended release, just tabs for (2) months. I'm always so tired. The higher dose helps me stay awake and function through my days. Glad something works, so far no side effects noted."


"This pill is honestly so terrible. The first week I began taking it, I started to break out all over my face with extremely painful cystic acne. It was uncontrollable. As soon as I started to take the inert pills, my face cleared up. Also this has caused me to form a fibroadenoma in my breast, and I have an extremely extensive family history of breast cancer in young women. I'm only 20 years old and I have fibrocystic breast disease, and I've been on just about every birth control on the market. If you have this condition as well STAY AWAY from this drug at all costs."


"I've been on it for 3 months now & I love it , period is much lighter ."


"This is the best back pain medication on the market. I have taken it since 1993 with no problems."


"I was on Loestrin before it was discontinued and have been on minastrin for a little over a year now. Immediately starting, I stopped getting any sort of bleeding and started getting cyst zits around my second week of the pill each month (I never had any acne when I was a teen). This was tolerable until about nine months into the pill when I started getting large white heads all around my nose and chin. Bye bye minastrin!"


"With peri menopause leading to menopause...came an overwhelming sadness, emotional ups and downs, anger, the black dog visited often for no apparent reason.  After seeing doctor who offered blood tests acknowledged menopause was occurring, he prescribed  pristiq 50 mg. one a day. I had negative pre conceived ideas about taking anti depressants due to incorrect information but thought I'd give it a try. It's now nearly three years since I began treatment....yes ...they work....side effects :can numb emotions, but not to the point that I can't feel..loss of libido..that's a small price to pay compared to how I felt when the black dog  visited. I tried to stop taking pristiq only to have old symptoms return"


"Terrible, terrible antibiotic. I took Z pack for my sinus infection, which usually helps but didn't this time so my doc put me on cefdinir. No problems until the 3rd day I woke up with the most terrible diarrhea I've ever had. Same the following day. It's almost 3 weeks later and I still have the diarrhea and have gone to the ER once for iv fluids to help with my dehydration. I would NOT recommend."


"I am 24 years old and my terrible cystic acne has returned worse than ever. (I was on Accutane several years ago which cleared it up nicely, but do not want to go back on it because of depression and irritable bowel syndrome). My dermatologist put me on doxycycline about 3 weeks ago. I started to notice a little improvement - the pimples seemed to be smaller and less painful, but now it's that time of the month and I'm having a huge breakout again. I'm also on birth control (Tri-Nessa) and a topical cream (Epiduo). I'm hoping that the results will be much more noticeable in month 2."


"I was so pleased to read all of the reviews about Letrozole.  Now I know that I'm not alone.  Hot flashes worse than menopause.  Always off balance.  Won't do stairs without a railing or holding on to person anymore after quite a few falls.  Don't get dizzy, but never know when a stumble or fall is coming.  Very dry mouth (other meds also cause dry mouth/thirst).  This is extremely hard to deal with as chemo put my kidneys in failure and on dialysis am limited to 1.5 liters of liquid a day.  Headaches, bone pain, fatigued constantly, muscle pain especially in legs, lack of appetite, foods don't taste the same. Ran out about a week ago, starting to come out of the fog! Feel like I'm 100, not 57, sigh."


"I was given Gildesse to help control my ovarian cysts. BIG MISTAKE! I have gained wieght, feel depressed and tired and when I do have periods now they are horrible, painful,and really heavy. They will last indefinitely too. I have bled for over 30 days.

I thought this was just my perimenopause but after reading everyone's reviews I felt I had the same symptoms as them and felt obligated to share."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"Began in April with viral over 1 million CD4 was 109. As of May viral load 606 and CD4 is 265. I've got ways to go. No side effects at first but only side effects to complain of now are slight nausea, headache and slight diarrhea."


"I have been taking Buspar for 8 days now. It was prescribed for irritability and anxiety. I walk around feeling nauseous and frequently have chest pain, palpitations and just constant worry. So Started out taking 7.5 mg morning and night and just increased it to 15mg morning and night. I noticed a difference with the irritability almost right away. I'm definitely able to enjoy things more since I don't feel like screaming at everyone I meet! Side Effects- I've experienced some mild to moderate dizziness. But the weird thing that I've had is a fuzzy tingling sensation that goes through my whole body. It lasts for maybe 2-3 seconds but happens every few minutes for about 30 minutes after I take a dose. It's worth it though."


"It works without side effects."


"I would say it works pretty good if you catch them in the beginning,if not it could take longer to heal. I have had cold sores for at least 20 years and the best stuff I ever used for them was a product called licrogel in a little white jar which was made from scientific botanicals which I just found out today is out of business. I think the good ole FDA had something to do with it because it was a natural homeopathic product. It soothed instantly and healed fast. It used to come in a 1/2 ounce jar for about 10 bucks but in recent years it was a full ounce jar for like 20-25 dollars...but you could get several outbreaks out of the one ounce jar."


"I have had this for two months. I am still breast feeding my youngest so my period has yet to return.

There has been no pain or spotting or bleeding whatsoever.

The only difference so far is increased in vaginal dryness but that could be attributed to the breastfeeding and getting older.

My family doctor said to get the IUD replaced after five years because the wires may disintegrate in the acidic environment of the vagina making the removal process difficult. Even if the copper IUD says 10 years."


"Took Synthroid for about 15 years and although I never felt it was working for me my doctor would only say "well, your labs look good."  I read about Armour and had my doctor change me. Armour was amazing.  I felt great after 2-3 months.  Weight dropped, dry skin and hair improved and my energy level significantly improved.  Then all of a sudden I developed a terrible rash on my hands.  Doctors tested for contact dermatitis, other allergies, all came back negative.  The only new addition to my routine was the Armour.  I read other reviews that discussed the fact the Forrest Phar. had been sold and apparently Armour was reformulated with possibly other fillers.  Stopped Armour and the rash disappeared.  Miss its benefits."


"LOVE IT. I took Strattera for 4 yrs but switched because of terrible nausea and anxiety. The first 3 months I had terrible migraines, lack of appitite & trouble sleeping. Keep taking it daily to give body time to adjust. No side effects now and huge HUGE improvement in work, concentration and motivation."


"Was sick with the worst sinus infection in my life for at least 3 weeks. It began to turn into pneumonia. Amoxil wasn't working. 2 doses of Ceftin so far and I'm feeling much better. "


"I was on this Birth control for 6 months, and started noticing a lot of side effects. I was losing more hair, my skin was getting drier and I was also so sad, and cried and got mad over anything. I went to my doctor and he ran me for some blood tests and came back to find out that my estrogen levels dropped immensely. I have switched to the Nuva ring - a low dose birth control.  Other then that -  I had no problems. If you have these symptoms I urge you to get tested for estrogen levels."


"Switched from Zoloft, after the initial  first week and withdraws from the zoloft, I noticed that my irritability never went away and seemed to get worse. I was yelling at my kids 3 days straight and realized this just isn't me. It's treated my depression but the irritability and agitation along with the other effects just are not worth it. Have a hard time sleeping due to the dreams that I have that only started once I started taking it. Hallucinations started as well. It seems some days I have a hard time with what's real and what's not only when just relaxing my mind seems to jump all over. Will be switching  ASAP this drug isn't for me. I would rather have the weight gain from the zoloft. Expensive even with insurance."


"I've been on my period for over 5 months.. it sucks. Sometimes I'm light or spotting and then randomly I'll get heavy. I haven't stopped bleeding since I got it. And I hear it takes months to end the bleeding but it seems like it'll never end. Ita not what I thought it would be."


"I have been diagnosed with extreme acid reflux (more to come later on),
Approximately 1 1/2 years ago my bad acid went out of control and started to come up in my mouth walking/sitting/laying down.
I went to see my gastroenterologist and he sent me off to see a surgeon.
The surgeon says I need a operation that amounts to be a gastric bypass.
I did not like the diagnosis, About that time my gastroenterologist decided to drop all his medicare patients.
I went to another hospital/gastro guy and he wanted me to stop all my ant-acid meds (2 ACIPHEX 2 RANITIDINE and 2 Omeprazole)  for a week, After one days I was asking him to allow me to stay on

For some reason the site is not allowing me to enter more details."


"In the summer of 2009 I found out I was pregnant,  yay.....No I was addicted to heroin and a large amount of it daily, I could not continue this as long as another life was growing inside of me. Methadone maintenance was my only option. I had my child on methadone and began detoxing right away small amounts at a time like 2 mg per week. It's been 5 years and I went from 95 mgs to 15 mgs there were months at a time I just chose to linger on a dose just out of fear of being completely off. I am doing fine I'm a happy mom who lives a normal life and looking at me would never see any hints of my past. I'm a completely different person and ready to be done. There is only 15 mg between my life now and the life I used to lead. It works"


"This drug is saving my life right now. Its a shame the people who abuse it ruin it for those of us who get relief from debilitating issues from it, because many doctors just don't want to prescribe it now. I say what's the point of having a drug if you can't use it to help people who need it."


"I have had 4 back surgeries ( pins, screws, plates, etc.) and both of my hips replaced, all before turning 43.  Before this, I earned a Ph.D., became a Prof. in Accounting was rewarded multitudes of student-awarded, colleague-awarded, and superiors-rewarded accollades.  Then, with all the narcotics, opiods, hospitalizations, etc, tenure was literally jerked from my grasp, and I have been forced out of three other universities since.  The depression of repeated recoveries from surgery and then med withdrawals and job losses drove me into extreme depression. Got the pain under control but it got to where I was in bed 6 of 7 days full-time. I was taking Cymbalta, but when my Dr. tried Nuvigil, it brought me back to the happiness I had known before."


"Hi my Dr started me on this today.  I have mood swings, low energy & depression. I am scared too death of medicine.  I read the reviews & that has helped ease some anxiety...but I am still a little scared.  Thank you"


"I was addicted to pain killers for some time and was spending a tremendous amount of money on them. My life became consumed by pain killers to the point where they were almost all I thought about. I tried Suboxone when I couldn't get anything else, to keep me from going into withdrawals. They were great. I had no desire to take anything else. I found a doctor and was put on 8mg. Suboxone 2x a day. I agree that they WILL help you get off opiates, BUT I feel it's substituting one drug for another. I feel normal, not high, when I'm on them."


"I'm 15 years old and before being on this I was a MESS. I was so anxious all the time I left school and it was just so bad I didn't hang out with friends for months but after being on it I can't even begin to explain how great I feel. I never feel nervous or anxious for ANYTHING I'm back at school , going to football games , hanging with friends everyday , and making new ones . This is the BEST. I have felt in so so long , probably ever! I'm so thankful for this medication ! It takes about 3 months for it to actually work but I HIGHLY suggest it!!!!!"


"I have been on Acebutolol (Sectral) for 2 years now and my BP is pretty controlled. I am also on it for an elevated heart rate not related to mitral valve prolapse. My heart rate is usually in the 80s now.  :)"


"I am 255lbs/5'1 height and 33 years old. I say this because I read many reviews and doctor's explanation that the pill sometimes does not work on obese or overweight people. It worked for me. I took it within 4 hours of being intimate with my boyfriend. You feel like you are pregnant because for at least 5 days I felt like activity was going on in my uterus, and the day before my period arrived I had really bad cramps, when I have not had cramps since I was in high school, at 120lbs and a size 2. Yes, it throws off your period. I was not due to have my period for another 2.5 weeks. However, my period came 7 days after being intimate and taking the pill, immediately. So, it works! You might be a little paranoid and feel like your pregnant because of cramps and what feels like activity going on in your uterus, but it works!"


"Did not work that well."


"I was terrified to get this, but made the decision after I could no longer stand being on my birth control pills anymore due to severe migraines and upper lip pigmentation! The process to get this is quick and painless. However, it was very sore and painful the first few days and it did not fully heal, for me, until about a month. I was nervous about the constant bleeding, as a lot of people reported, but only had a period for ten days than nothing since then. No headaches, weight gain, bloating... The only thing is I find I'm more sensitive and moody, but I don't know for sure. That could just be because I moved across the country at the same time! I can feel the rod and have a tiny bit of pain once in a great while, but nothing bad. I recommend trying."


"It's a miracle for someone else to feel better (which I'm happy they do) but it does not work to me. I feel empty these days with lack of motivation to do anything. My hallucinations and voices don't go away that easy. I still find myself seeing shadows and hearing voices telling me words that aren't real. I'm not worried about the weight gain I just want the hallucinations and hearing voices to go away. I am diagnosed with schizoaffective which now make me doubt about it. My mood is stable (how others see on the outside) normal to everyone but it like putting myself to sleep and becomes even slow. aripiprazole was bad for me as it made me feel restless and suicidal."


"I'm 55 and was having soft erections and losing erection as well as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Asked the doc about the medical options and he prescribed 5 mg Cialis daily, or as needed, approx 1 hour before sex. Have just started but WOW this medicine has really worked for me. Easily aroused and strong, long lasting erections. I wasn't used to being so hard and lasting so long, so had a little trouble ejaculating but when I did it was like it was in my 20's. The one side effect has been pain in my back side. Eli Lilly offers a coupon for a free 30 day supply - what a great country!"


"Overall I've had good luck. I went on it to treat my acne. For the first 2 weeks my skin on my face and back got SO bad. Everything was inflamed to the point where sitting & leaning up against something was painful. Also, for the first month (my hormones where out of whack trying to adjust) so I was having intense mood swings. I was annoyed/ easily irritated by everything and had no patience causing me to snap at times uncontrollably. When it got to this point I wanted nothing more than to get off the medicines. But I'm so glad I stayed on it. After a month things got better. My body adjusted. No more severe mood swings & my acne is clear. I occasionally get breakouts the week before my period. No pregnancy & no weight gain either. Definitely try it!"


"I started Trulicity about a year ago because the medication I was on kept crystalizing and was hard to inject.  I have lost weight about 22 pounds over the course of a year.  The biggest things to get used to were the nausea and the diarrhea but after giving 4 weeks to adjust to the medication my blood sugar does not spike like it used to and I felt better.  I don't have my usual cravings for anything bad for me  but I do have an appetite.  I tell anyone who needs to lose a few pounds and lower blood sugar to stick with it.  It will get better.  I can't complain about the medication.  All anti-diabetic agents cause the stomach issues.  Hang in there."


"I have lost 38 pounds on this since September, 2013. I am on a diabetic diet and a fitness program also. This medication has helped me a lot! Taken the edge off the hunger and helped me get my glucose levels under control.
There are some side effects, but many of them went away by week 3. Metal taste in my mouth, headaches, constipation (has not gone away), and dry mouth/bad breath.
This is not a miracle pill. You will have to work hard, and make good choices. My Doctor is helping me learn how to make better choices and make healthy living a part of my life.  I plan on being on this medicine ONLY until I can successfully learn how to control my glucose levels and follow a plan consistently."


"I'm 25 single mother to 8 year old twins an IUD was my choice of birth control I've had paragard over 5 years already and I can say it's perfect haven't gotten pregnant, period lasts about 3 days, no mood swings, no pain, no heavy period. I love it and I'm happy I chose paragard I had used other birth control methods & hated them if you're not planning to have kids soon this is the best method to avoid having any lol"


"I never use Monstat 7 before and I use it for the first time it made me burn and itching like crazy I will not recommend this product to any one . I had to flush it  out with warm water to ease the burning this is the worst experience I have had with this product."


"Help with in two days-  still helping after 4 years. Some side effects."


"This pill does not work. It gave me just enough pregnancy symptoms to where I didn't notice that I WAS pregnant until I started showing."


"I use to be on Yaz until the price got so high. I switched to a different one for a few months had awful side effects so my year check up came and my doctor recommended Beyaz. I have been on it for almost a year. And my sex drive is almost completely gone and I'm more moody on the pill than off. It's crazy. But I don't have any headaches anymore. Had no weight gain and no cramping or back aches on my period."


"I took 20 mg of generic Lexapro for GAD and depression. The side effects were bad. I felt really jittery, nauseous, very alert of everything around me,  got headaches and drowsy. I took it for three years but it made my depression worse so  I got off of it."


"My normal periods involved changing a super plus tampon hourly/wearing an overnight pad for 3 days, then 2 medium flow days, severe diarrhea, vomiting and extreme bloating and very paining cramps, heavy cloting.  I decided to try this and the first two weeks were great, no bleeding or pain, then I got my period and it was very light with minimal cramps for one day! I was soooo happy I cried. One month later I'm still bleeding! It's super light and I only see light pink blood when I wipe.  I hope it ends soon going to give it time and a few more shots. I don't think anyone should get this shot unless they were in my position with an abnormal heavy/painful period.  I rather have light spotting for months than one week of extreme pain."


"Was on this pill for two years. Gained about 15 pounds, had cystic acne around my periods, and my mood swings were unbelievable. I would find myself getting so angry and irritated at everyone and everything for absolutely no reason. Perks were I didn't get pregnant and my periods were short and light, with no cramping. This was my 6th pill I tried and after this I gave up and switched to an IUD. Couldn't be happier."


"I have been operated on for Bladder cancer. My Doctor tried many pain medications to alleviate the pain from Bladder spasms as a result of the removal of the cancer from my bladder. B&O 16 is the only medicine that gave me relief from the spasms. Thank goodness it was available. I use it only as needed for the spasms, and it is not long term, however it has taken care of the problem and let me recover without the pain."


"Tried it for over 4 weeks. I didn't feel any different and seemed to get sicker the longer I was on it. Never got the rash but had pain all over my body (bones, arms, legs, stomach, etc). It was so bad I couldn't get out of bed without crying and being in severe pain. Wound up in the hospital and after being off of it for just over 2 days I was back to normal!"


"I would not recommend for anyone. What the doctors fail to mention is the constant pain and discomfort. They will also make excuses when asked to have it removed telling you to wait.
After 5 years of pain, no sex life as the cramping is not worth it. finally i was granted my wish to have it removed. Unfortunately it was surgically as it had went into my uterine wall. The doctors fail to mention this product can ruin lives as im not sure if i can have children. Threads were still visible and had regular checks too.
3 days it has been gone and my headaces, cramps, pain down my leg gone with it.
Yes it stops pregnancy but at the cost of it being potentally permanent and also the lack of sex drive.
My advice please avoid."


"I have been taking this for about 6 months. I have anxiety and depression, and can't fall asleep because my mind is constantly going like a video recorder. I love it. No side effects, feel good waking up, sleep like a baby all night long. Look forward to going to bed at night knowing I will sleep through the night."


"My Doctor put me on Flomax. I took it for 2 days and don't like it. I dream all night and still get up and pee 3 times during night, also my heart rate went up. Not for me."


"*Ladies this is a real experience.
I had unprotected sex around the time I was ovulating. So the chances of me getting pregnant was pretty high. I took the pill 24 hours later with my dinner and I was worried it wouldn't work. At first I didn't get any symptoms then a couple days to a week go by and I started to experience early pregnancy like symptoms. Today, I got my my period on time so relax it works .  "


"This medication worked great for me to get rid of my headache. When I take it before I feel a bad migraine coming on, it alleviates it before it gets bad. My only complaint about this medication is I get really bad heart burn and I really do not sleep that well while I am on it. I guess you can%u2019t have everything."


"I had 1 injection less than a month ago and recently started having the following symptoms:

intense fatigue
herpes outbreak
painful joints in hands and knees
neck pain
cough
sore throat
depression"


"I am on my third day of taking 50mg of Pristiq after 12 years of taking 150mg of EffexorXR every morning. I have had my depression and anxiety under control for the last 11 1/2 years because of therapy, family support and the EffexorXR. My main reason for trying Pristiq, which is very similar to Effexor, is to try to lessen the amount of time it takes to achieve orgasm. "It takes forever!" My doctor seems to think this will help. We'll see."


"Many doctors seem to be convinced that if you have an AD disorder, you simply can't get high on stimulant medications. This is NOT the case at all.

First off,  stimulant medications in general work well... very very well.

The first day I took adderall I was at school. About an hour after I took my dose of 20mgs I started to feel this awake, alert, energetic feeling inside. I liked, a lot. For the next 5 hours all of my boring subjects became very interesting and I became a very social person. After about a month, those effects started to go away. I went to the doc and asked for a dose increase. Without any hesitation, he DOUBLED my dose to 40mg. I quickly found my self abusing adderall. 1 year later and I'm now in rehab for drug abuse."


"I'm having an allergic reaction to this right now. I thought I was coming down with the flu but it has to be this medication. I took my last pill two hours ago and waiting for it to get out of my system."


"I have taken Fioricet for 20 plus years. This is the only medication that takes care of your pain.  I am 63 years old and I take approx 8 tablets daily.  My liver function tests always come back normal.  Does anyone else have a situation like mine?"


"I've been on Lexapro for maybe 1.5 years, and this drug has worked pretty well in reducing my anxiety and depression. I started on 10mg which may have helped a tiny bit, but I still felt awful. A month or two after having my dose increased to 20mg, I started to feel better. Lexapro helped me lift myself out of my ~6 month long period of anxiety and depression, but I wasn't "cured." I still have mental issues which I need to work on.

In terms of side effects, there were almost none. I got headaches right when I started and also after going on 20mg, but they only lasted a few days. I also find my long-term memory is a bit worse, and time seems to fly by faster.

Oh, and it's super cheap if you can get the generic version."


"First of all, the other commenters are right on; it HURT. I took 800mg Ibruprofen an hour before and it still really hurt, like the most painful cramp ever. The bright side was that it only lasted about 40 seconds total and then the cramps calmed down. I was pretty okay a few minutes after, however, I didn't leave the doctors office until a half hour later. I almost passed out while walking through the waiting room, they noticed me & rushed 3 nurses out to me with a cold rag, juice, and a wheelchair. I guess I was sweating and turned blue, my body was like what is this thing!? 8 Days later and I still have moderate cramps, hoping they subside soon. A few days I've had no cramps at all, and other days I'm woken up at 3am! Hope it's worth it!"


"The pharmacist said the only side effect was vivid dreams. It is going down the Alice in Wonderland's rabbit hole. It is supposed to get better after a week. Here's hoping the pharmacist is right."


"I was diagnosed 5 months ago with hyperplasia. I had experienced extreme periods with clotting and 7-10 bleeding for over 5 years. I thought this was normal for women approaching menopause, it is NOT. I was also 30-40 Lbs. over weight. My gynecologist put me on progesterone pills and a few months later she did a D&C. She told me my hyperplasia was gone and the best benefit is that i have no periods. I can't say enough about this pill. I am beyond child baring years so no periods is such a bonus!"


"I've only been using this gel for a few days and I can see a major difference. I have very sensitive skin so when I saw the reviews I got a little nervous, so when I tried it I was ready for red skin and rashes, but nothing happened. Within the next few days I saw a major improvement, which shocked me! I've used a lot of acne treatments and none of them worked, but within the first couple of days I could see my pimples going away! I don't think this is supposed to help with blackheads or whiteheads,  but this is still totally worth it! And who knows maybe if I keep using it, it will help with them. I highly recommend this product to anyone with acne problems!"


"Diagnosed with narcolepsy and had frequent daily cataplexy. Nothing else worked, prior to getting diagnosed, hours and hours of sleep mixed with coffee, energy drinks and abuse of workout stimulants. After adjusting to the jitters and slight nausea, I've never felt better. Every now and then I will need a small nap, but I am sleeping deeper and sleep walking much less. I went from several cataplexy a day to only three in the last month. Those three only happened because I hadn't gotten enough sleep that night. This drug works the best for me when I get more than 6 hours of sleep, ideally 7 or 8 hours though. I am very happy overall, but it is ridiculously expensive if you aren't on an insurance plan, like me (just switched jobs)."


"Works great to control my migraines it cut the frequency in half. Before starting this medication I would suffer migraines 3-4x/week. And the days that I didn't have a migraine, I still felt "foggy".  However after only 6 weeks on it I gained 30 lbs, had urinary retention."


"I've had my implant for a little over a year. I got it late November 2015. Although I haven't gotten pregnant, I've had some things occur that lead me to believe it my implant. I started gaining weight in March of 2016, but most of it came on during the summer of this year 2016. I've gained 50 pounds withing the time span of having this. My daily routines have remained the same, and throughout most of my life, I've been the same weight or around it. This weight gain is rediculously dramatic. I've also had migraines pretty bad for 5+ years that Only last for about 10 hours at most. I've had a constant migraine, dizziness, blurry eyes, etc for a week and a half straight. It's never been like this so I believe it's my implant."


"After 40 years I finally found a medicine that works. I take it with Seroquel."


"short-term OK for pain would not want to take long term I am a cancer survivor and my most of my body hurts all the time I have yet to find a pain medicine that is safe and effective and non-addictive that helps with this side effect of massive amounts of chemo it's been 6 years and I've been living in pain everyday I understand why Colorado and California legalize marijuana I don't smoke pot I used to. but if someone comes over with a joint I may take a hit and I will say that marijuana does help the pain I would not want to use as a recreational drug but it does help the pain better than any opiate that I've ever taken"


"Like so many others here, I've had cold sore outbreaks here and there since I was a little kid. It was Always a source of anxiety for me, either when I had one, or just worrying about when the next one was coming. I'm in my 30s now. About 2 years ago, I had my dentist call in a prescription when I had felt one coming on for a few hours ( the bump was forming ) not knowing what would happen. He called it in. I took my first dose within an hour. It never really formed, just stayed a bump for a half day or so and then flattened out and healed quickly. Since then I've always made sure to keep it on hand at home at my office. I've taken it several times since at the first signal and its been all clear. Cannot recommend enough!!"


"Took severe pain away. Hand and neck arthritis. Take with 2 Tylenol or ibuprofen  every other dose for best relief. Brand name ultram 50 mg every 5-6 hrs if needed. For me, took most pain away! Better than vicodin and not sure why but so happy I have it. Cons: occasional nausea and big time constipation-take with laxative or colace. I started pill slowly- two 25mg per day over period of a week and worked up to 50 3 x per day over 3 weeks."


"I have no problem falling asleep, but wake in the night and sometimes cannot fall back to sleep. I take one half tablet 12.5 mg of Phenergen and even if my sleep is disturbed I fall back to sleep easily, and wake up refreshed."


"So I decided to try nexplanon BC you don't have to remember to take any pills... Well problem is I have been on my period for 3 months straight and its still going strong. I have had to take more migraine meds these past 3 months than I have in my lifetime (I'm 28).  I went through more pads and tampons than I ever imagined possible. Men always joke and say how could a woman bleed for 7 days and still be alive. Well I have now been bleeding for over 90 days and I feel like  I'm dying. I haven't removed it BC it cost so much to get put in and I really don't want to get pregnant. :(   I have felt depressed. I am so emotional to the point where if I wake up tomorrow and  still bleeding, I might just cry. Lol

Lost 15 pounds though :)"


"I was on the Fentanyl Patches for approx. 3 months. The 1st month was good, though no patch ever lasted 3 days. My doc updated my script to changing them every 48 hrs. By the third month, no patch was lasting more than 30hrs, and I was going through withdrawals so bad on the 2nd day that I have been switched to methadone pills for pain. I also had trouble with the patches staying on during showers. "


"It works very well for pain..it gives seniors energy to function and the side effects are very mild, if any. "


"My doctor has me on FLexeril 10 mg 3 times a day but it doesn't work for me. I have been taking it for 2 weeks now he wants to up my dose. To 20 mg 3 times a day that sounds like a lot to me."


"Found this medication to be very effective in the betterment of my quality of life. No impairment whatsoever, during work or study. My sincere experience. Sincerely. Junior, from Dan Juan ,Puerto Rico. Thankyou"


"I've been taking this medication for about 1.5 years now. I had chronic migraines for over a year before I started taking this, with no explanation as to why I was having such awful headaches every single day. Ob-Gyn recommended me on birth control, and I haven't had a migraine for 1.5 years now! I don't have any bad side affects from this birth control (that I've noticed yet). Only having a period 4 times a year is definitely a plus!"


"I switched to Wellbutrin after a year of Zoloft mostly due to weight gain (I'd gained about 20 lbs. in a year). I started taking Wellbutrin 2x a day with a plan to eventually increase to extended release but the meds kept me up all night. I got maybe 4 hours of sleep a night even with Zzzquil. My sleep was extremely restless and I woke up about every hour. I called my doctor and asked if I could switch to the extended release version but she said it would probably be the same situation. I did like how the meds made me feel. Very little depression and I felt super energized and productive. Honestly I was almost too wired; I was very jittery and almost a bit manic."
