"I took it for about 2 years and it did lower my cholesterol somewhat. The entire time that I took it, I sweated profusely with any exercise and I would become light headed. I quit taking Zetia nearly a year ago and have had no horrible sweating episodes since."


"Day two and I already can breathe out of both nostrils!. My stomach feels a little weird but not terrible. 875 X 2"


"For me, this worked great as pain relief for a herniated disc. I found the pain to be less agonizing throughout the day, and I could do things that I needed to (cleaning, vacuuming, grocery shopping, carrying the groceries, etc.).  The problem that I had with the medication is that I had horrible memory loss.  I am a full-time student and could not handle the problems I had trying to retain hard information.  My doctor tried to combat this by putting me on Ritalin but then I couldn't sleep.  I have had to go off of pain relievers for this exact problem."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I'm just starting my 3rd week of BeYaz and after reading some of the scary side effects I was very hesitant to take it.  My doctor assured me that it was safe and that it was one of her favorite pills & she actually took it herself.  The first few days were ok, then I started noticing I got nauseous about an hour after taking it.  I was taking it in the evening a few hours after dinner.  My mother suggested taking it with yogurt.  So I switched and began taking it at lunch with a yogurt and I have had no additional nausea.  I have been more tired than normal, but due to other things going on right now, I can't be certain that is from the pill.  Overall so far I've had a good experience with this pill & I'm glad my doctor recommended it."


"Like everyone else is saying it was the worst experience of my life taking this over the counter drug. I tend to have a medicine senestivity so I took one instead of suggested adult dose three tablets. Like everyone else here I started getting horrible cramps within an hour, which was odd because knowing I was going to take this at 9 pm I'd been drinking about 8 oz of water since 7 pm on the hour. Within an hour of this drug in my system I began vomiting . And I was thankful for that because at least I was getting it out of my body. I vomited three times before midnight and went to bed queasy and sweaty. The next morning I did have a normal bowel movement but it was not worth the added vomiting. Where was this on the side effects!"


"This makes you restless after long term use. Good at controlling symptoms if you be patient with it. Ask your Dr to reduce dosage if you feel better after 3 years. Good Luck"


"Well I have to say I have be debating on trying this medicine. Then I gathered up enough nerve to try it and, 1st night I took did not sleep very well and the following day I just felt so out of it, It was caused for concern at my job. I can honestly say, in my case the side effects are far more worse than my anxiety."


"I had my Mirena put in yesterday and it was not painful. Just a few cramps when he was putting it in. I bled and had minimal cramps that day and nothing since. So far I love it!"


"Numbness on the leg after injection from the knee cap to nearly the groin and around the side of the leg"


"I have never had any major side effects with this medicine.  I would say it is probably the best on the market, though it is expensive. When I was on another medication related to statins my eyes were RED, and they hurt.  My heart ached and I felt like my days were numbed.  I asked my doctor to switch me back to Altoprev and I am back to normal, full of energy, my eyes are clear and the heart pains went away.  I highly recommend this to anyone suffering from high cholesterol."


"Last night was night 1 in the 7 day monistat. It was okay. Didn't burn much. But when I woke up this morning and went pee... Omg. Itching sssoooo bad. Nasty leaking. But I believe its curing the infection. Its just day 1 tonight I'm sure it will ease up. I'll keep posting for each day. (About to take a hot bath! Those work too to ease the itch.)"


"I am so happy that I finally received a diagnosis and treatment! Ever since I was about 19 years old (29 now) I have dealt with depression that came in waves. My anxiety and obsessive tendencies didn't begin until I was 22 and had the military. I always thought that the high stress situation just fed into my depression and caused anxiety and obsession. I finally decided to seek help and I was shocked to find out that I suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder which causes depression and anxiety. I started on Prozac and within the first 6 weeks I felt a rush of relief. I no longer obsessed over the smallest things. I feel so much happier and my friends and family notice the difference big time!"


"So far Belviq is AMAZING. I did the 15 day trial offer. I started the medication on Feb 10, 2014. My starting weight was 252lbs. Today is Feb 25th, 2014. The 15th day, end of trial and I weigh 234lbs! That is 18lbs dropped in 15 days. I've changed my eating habits, drink plenty of water, I am not exercising too much around 3x a week by walking.
I have experienced no side effects whatsoever. My appetite is truly decreased, I do eat healthy but not big portions like I used to and I get full pretty quickly. Going to pick up the rest of the medication at the pharmacy. I have to pay out of pocket for the rest of the medication but it is truly worth it!"


"There are a few ways to get rid of one of the most annoying side effects, the tingling hands and feet. Potassium- I used to eat a banana or drink fruit juice high in potassium.

All of my side effects went away after 2 yrs on Topamax. It is hard to ween off of. I have not taken a pill for 2 mths and have far less headaches than before Topamax!!

Great drug! I lost almost 30lb but once we found the right dosage I leveled out and stayed that weight for a yr before weening off."


"I started taking Phentermine 37.5 mg every morning about a month ago. I've always eaten pretty healthy, but after being laid up for 3 months after surgery, I gained 14 lbs and couldn't shake it off. In the first week, I lost 6 lbs. Starting the second week, I gained 4 back. Nowhere in the prescription information did it tell me that alcohol has an OPPOSITE effect on the medicine. I stopped drinking, and am steadily losing 2-4 lbs per week. Only losing 10 lbs in the first month is discouraging compared to some of the reviews I've read, but I only had about 20 lbs to lose to start with. My appetite is under much better control now, I can't eat near the quantity of food that I used to. Thanksgiving dinner yesterday was a true test, and I passed!"


"Worked great when added to lithium for mixed manic episode. No side effects but I got a rash and had to quit taking it.  The rash gradually disappeared, luckily."


"Seemed to clear up my infection, but started feeling nauseous the next day.  Steadily got worse each day.  On the fourth day developed a severe headache but slept it off.  Doctor instructed me to stop taking it.  Experienced severely high blood pressure.  Also made my abdominal muscles feel weak"


"It is the best but respect it! Take as instructed--or you will wake up down the road.  It is the  best sleep pill  in town.  I've taken it every nite for 10 years. It is bad that it is  so needed - but it would be worst if I never got to  sleep because then I could not provide for my family.  Just  thankful for this med"


"I had a baby 7 months ago and was unable to get my weight down.  I have been going to the gym 5x a week and also watching what I eat.  That didn't seem to help so, my doctor prescribed this medicine and I remembered I have taken it before.  It REALLY worked that time.  So, here I go! Starting weight is 304lbs.  We will see in 30 days how far I get down, with the gym workouts, low calorie diet, and the medicine.  I will keep you updated."


"Agoraphobia for almost 40 years, couldn't go on freeways or travel- never took meds, as I feared addiction. Eventually had to do something because I moved out of state, Dr. in ER gave me 0.5mg xanax for the travel trip. It was a godsend- I made the trip, actually enjoyed it, then never took another one until we moved out of state again. This is a miracle when used in this way- daily, no way would I ever do that- again, fear of addiction. I find other ways to deal with anxiety that happens on a daily basis, but for travel, this was amazingly helpful."


"One day and I already feel better after being laid up for 5 days regret not calling my doctor sooner!"


"I truly believe it works at stopping leakage.  I thought I had found a miracle cure, but I seem to be allergic and can't take the burning redness and rash. I have gone through a couple of boxes because it works so well but six days after only a 24 hour use I still have a terrible itchy red rash.  I will still consider using for special occasions.  And I must agree it is expensive."


"Took for pain relief after total knee replacement surgery,  it only took the edge off the pain,  it didn't kill the pain completely"


"I had started with Celexa, then changed to citalopram when it became available. (No changes whatsoever, both meds helped me exactly the same. Citalopram was just cheaper.) I had been in a severely bad personal situation, one that included some abuse. I was in a very bad way, and my anxiety level was at times paralyzing. When I started taking Celexa, my anxiety calmed down considerably, and I was able to see my bad situation for what it was, and I was able to actually deal with it. It's now years later, and my life is fine now, though I believe my personal situation damaged me enough to where I'm too stressed if I try to go off the medicine, so I stay on it, and that's fine with me. I believe Celexa quite literally saved my life."


"Due to my history of migraine with aura,  my doctor suggested I went with a non estrogen birth control. I went back and forth about the copper IUD and the pill. I decided against the IUD because it isn't a painless process for those who haven't yet had children.
Ive been on Jolivette for a month now. The first few weeks were difficult. I had breakthrough bleeding  (bleeding between your periods) and quite terrible anxiety. If I had stopped taking it then I would have rated this med a 2 or 3. After about 2.5 weeks in... my anxiety subsided, the breakthrough bleeding stopped and everything balanced. I was even able to decrease the strength of my anxiety medicine. My PMDD and endometriosis have been easier to bare, and So far so good."


"Had a horrific cough and very bad sinus infection on day 2 I went to the ER due to problems breathing , Dr prescribed Tessalon & Antibiotic . I have been taking the Tessalon 100 mg for 3 xs a day and it has stopped the cough some , but still very congestited and feeling very little relief on that part."


"I have cellulitus on my left leg. On an eight hour car ride home my legs were swollen. I'm not sure if I hit the shin of my left leg or if due to the tightness from the swelling, I ended up with an ulcer the size of a fifty cent piece. It had gotten infected causing me to go to the doctor. He cleaned the ulcer and put silvadene cream on the wound and then wrapped it. He told me to clean the are with Dial soap, apply the silvadene cream and wrap it. He wanted to see me back in two weeks. If the ulcer was not responding to treatment he was going to send me to the wound clinic. I followed his instructions and when the two weeks were up and I went back he was amazed at the results. The ulcer had healed completely."


"I first got Depo 4 years ago March 2013....  my periods disappeared completely... yes..  I've had no period for 4 years. It's hard to say any other symptoms at the time as I was on other meds as well. But I've just got off it for the first time March 2017 and the side affects getting off are terrible! I haven't stopped a mix of spotting and well lots of brown and black blood. I'm in a new relationship and we can't even have sex. I've had mood swings, Nausea, extremely sore breast, cramps and omg the acne. This drug was all well and good until I realised some of my issues the past couple yrs could have very much so been this drug. I've been referred to a gyn for abnormal issues such as post coital bleeding (b4 getting off depo) and pain in ovaries."


"PLEASE PLEASE READ !!!
I was prescribed the medicine a few years ago... JUST now found that I could leave a  review ~
After q while ... I guess after the medicine got into my system at a certain level... I STARTING HAVING.. SEIZURES.. NOT REGULAR ONES... but one sooo BAD that I would have to have CPR... I would be "OUT" for approx. 45 minutes!!!  I would take my medicine and about 30 minutes later I'd "awaken" with Paramedics SURROUNDING ...NOT HAVING A CLUE WHY.... AND LYING IN MY OWN HUGE PUDDLE OF URINE... THE NEXT DAY I'D FIND BRUISES in the ODDEST places !  Like on the INSIDE OF MY UPPER ARMS AND ON MY FEET AND EVERY WHERE! And I would have simply been walking in an isle of a Vitamin Shoppe or sitting under a dryer at a Hair Salon."


"I have been on the vivitrol since November 2016 I have remained sober for 5 months. The urge to drink went away and it felt good knowing that even if I drank on the shot I wouldn't feel the warm fuzzy feeling that I was so addicted to. So recently I did drink and I feel so terrible shakes.. Sick to my stomachs. Alcohol withdrawal is terrible and it really sucks. Now I know why I love feeling sober. Vivitrol had not only kept me sober it truly saved my life because I know that I have control of my life. I would recommend this to Anyone who has a problem with alcohol. It truly takes the cravings away. And helps you find yourself."


"Does not stay adhered to skin, so I'd have to say it is a failure."


"My anxiety and depression really bogged me down and made me bound to my bed until I started taking lexapro. Honestly the first 1-3 weeks the side effects are very rough as your brain has to get accustomed to the changing of chemicals. I had blurry vision, dizziness, sweating issues and felt weird, but I stuck to it and eventually started waking up earlier than ever which was uncharacteristic and started enjoying life. This drug is great and makes me want to major in Psych. Recommend"


"I started taking trulicity 6-8-16. I have been sick every since. Lost ten pounds.can't eat. Have a hard time moving at all. I'm tired all the time. Dizzy and lightheaded. Now a yeast infection.  Been coughing too. I'm not taking anymore until I go to Dr Thursday. I believe it works but I can't take feeling like this.  Feel too weak."


"I was told that I had to get two shots or else it could be potentially dangerous to be taken off of the shot. Three months later and a ton of anxiety attacks and bleeding, I'm in the office going back on my pill. The worst thing I could've ever possibly done to myself was this shot."


"I haven't slept normally since adolescence.  Tried Ambien and lots of sedatives.  I had horrible problems with doing things while asleep and not remembering on Ambien, but it was the only way to get anything resembling sleep. Belsomra is amazing.  I actually feel SLEEPY.  I had only felt that as a child, or if sick.  Some side effects seem to be happening, I got bronchitis, and have had awful dreams some nights, but I'm going to stick with it for a few weeks."


"I just turned 30 last month. I started Adipex in November 2012. Lost 10 lbs and thought I could keep going without the pills. Ended up gaining all the 10 back, plus another 10 after all the holidays. I was 230 lbs, 5ft 7 in. I got back on Adipex 4 weeks ago and I am now 210 lbs!! I only get to the gym maybe 3 times a week. I used to get dry mouth, so drank more water. I pretty much ate what I wanted, but a lot less of it considering the pills make me not hungry at all. So now starting strict diet, I should be able to lose more than 20 lbs a month!"


"I've been on Geodon for probably about a year and I like it. It works I don't really hear voices. From time to time like once a week I'd hear like half a min if voices compared to 24hrs of my day before taking Geodon. My dose is always changing but as of now I'm on 20 in the morning and 80 at night. I get muscle tense and jaw locking. sometimes it will look like I'm flipping people off or I'd hide my thumb and squeeze. I'm taking Benadryl for that which helps, I'm taking 50mg for morning and night. I had tingling in my head feeling like I could faint but that only lasted a month or so. Overall it's a good medication I'm happy as long as I don't hear angels and demons!"


"Prescribed after experiencing breakthrough bleeding on another oral contraceptive. I gave it a fair go - 4 or 5 months, and I can't seem to get adjusted. Mood swings are more severe, experienced a 10 lb weight gain, feeling considerably more anxious, extreme breast tenderness among feeling nauseated a week prior to period start date. Of course, everyone experiences this differently but that's my story. Will be discontinuing this on month end."


"In March 11, 2011 I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My oncologist prescribed Tarceva one a day 150 mg. I had the normal side effects; diarrhea and rash. Both were controlled, the rash was treated with antibiotics and the diarrhea just went away by itself. I understand this pill is a maintenance therapy pill. It seems to work well on me. Tomorrow, April 18 is my appointment, had an X-ray yesterday. I still have to know the outcome, but I am already feeling well. I had toracentesis before my diagnosis due to pleural effusion. Reading the posts here in this site gives me positive hope that Tarceva works well for patient's with NSCLC."


"I just started chantix, I have been smoking since I was 12. I am 52 years old, I smoke close to 3 packs a day. I seen my doctor on friday the 23 and she gave me a prescription for chantix. I started that day and I only smoke about little over half a pack which  is great. I have no side affects as of yet. I only smoke cause they are there, but it is getting better. Just think all the money I will be saving and not to mention my  health. My daughter and grandchildren have been after me to stop not to mention my husband. Pfizer Thank you for making a drug for people to quit smoking.I have not pick a date to stop smoking yet, but will soon. I figure when I am in week two since it is a higher dose it may be easier so I think it will be the next week."


"I switched to the Nuvaring about 3 weeks ago from the pill. I was excited by how much easier it was than worrying about taking a pill at the same time every day. This excitement quickly faded when I got suddenly feverish and sick on my 9th day with the Nuvaring. I was too weak and had too severe cramping to leave my bed for 12 hours. But I steadily recovered after I removed the Nuvaring. I had it out for two days and my doctor suggested I put a new one in, so I thought I'd give it another chance. After another week, I've had a sudden and vicious outbreak of cold sores on my lips. I used to get them all the time, but I hadn't had one in three years. I'm done with the Nuvaring for good."


"I have been taking Belviq now for 9 days.  I started off at 235 now I am at 228.  I get headaches every now and then, I am really thirsty and my back hurt yesterday for about an hour.  I sleep all night, but it feels more like I am blacked out, or maybe just sleeping harder than usual.  I am focused more and have more energy to get things done.  So far so good, let's see how it works next week."


"Prescribed for a UTI. Long story short I thought there was something seriously wrong with me. Sever body aches, joint pain, back, chest, fever up to 101.7, major chills, headache, anxious, depressed, crying, irritable, FATIGUE, weakness, night sweats, tight jaw, the list goes on and on. This medication is dangerous and I'm glad I stumbled across this site because I thought I was going crazy. I have 1 more day of this horrible medication and I'll stick it out because I don't want to have to take anymore antibiotics.  100mg 2x a day for 7 days"


"My doctor recommended me to take this birth control pill as I was diagnosed with endometriosis outside of my ovary and had to get a large cyst removed.  So far since I've recently started these hormones I have been  feeling great. I just noticed that it makes me very hungry, but my mood has been excellent. Feeling great can't complain."


"It's great, doesn't help the infrequent redness but keeps the skin clear.  for me,  just when I notice the flare up until it subsides.  The cost is exorbitant. $1800 a tube  60g."


"I started this pill when my son was 3 months old (he is now 18 months old). About 6 months ago I stopped taking the pill and 3 months later I started it again. I had never had any problems with the pill before this but after stopping/starting the pill my hair started falling out. I have been to my OBGYN about it (who has taken me off of the pill), to my primary care physician, and to a dermatologist. All 3 doctors say there really isn't anything they can do about the hair loss. It's been about 5 months of hair loss and I am to the point my husband last night noticed my hair line is receding and I've lost about 70% of my hair. I am devastated, embarrassed, and scared! I have read devastating hair loss can happen with this pill!"


"I'm in my late 60s and had been struggling to frequent urination at night, an urgent need here and there during the day, ED, and low libido. My urologist recommended Cialis but when he mentioned the price and the fact that it would not be covered by insurance, I almost decided against it. He was quite sure it would help, however. So I invested in the first month's supply --- and  noticed a difference in respect to urination and the rest almost immediately. Quite amazing. Like some other people, I've had a bit of heartburn but no other side effects. Well worth the investment!"


"I've been on the same BC for 4 yrs. I had break through bleeding & my Dr switched me to Taytulla. She gave me 3 month supply. I'm pretty sure Dr are being paid to give out samples. Went to pharmacy to get the prescription and it's $500/month. Forget that! So I'm trying the 3 samples to see if I like it enough to get the generic. I've only done a month & I've had bad mood swings, bad headaches, bad body acne I've never had before, super tender breasts, and vaginal discharge every day. I know when start BC you get symptoms but I didn't expect this from going from one BC to another.  I'll take a pregnancy test in a week to make sure I'm not pregnant and give it another month to see of any of this goes away. But so far, DO NOT take Taytulla"


"My husband of 41 years passed away 5 months ago.  I went under care at a mental health clinic for therapy and group therapy.  They changed my clonazepam to 1 mg per day. I had two incidents of crying uncontrollably and they upped the medicine to 1 to 3 per day.  This made me sleep a lot during the day. Finally the psychiatrist did a medical check and has changed my medications to different times of the day and has the clonazepam 1 to 3 times on as needed basis.  He said I could also cut them in half and take 1/2 the dosage at a time to keep from sleeping all the time.  Yesterday I didn't take the medicine at all and today I woke shaking and cramping in my legs. Took the medicine and it all stopped. Good for anxiety."


"I started the depo shot January 9th,2016 on my period and two weeks later on January22,2016 I started my cycle again and have been bleeding for 3 months and is still bleeding. I will not be going for my second injection which is in two weeks. I also have head aches and get dizzy often and it has been hard for me to get wet since I started. I will not recommend this to anyone."


"I have had the Mirena in for 1 week now. I have had mild cramping but everything is getting better. I have had light bleeding since the insertions, so far no problems. I am 21 years old and don't have any children. Previously, I had heavy bleeding and had to get a blood transfusion and had to stay in hospital because of it. So my doctor decided Mirena would be the best for me. My husband and I do want to have children in the near future so this type of birth control is great because you dont have to worry about it and you can take it out in 6 month to a year. Overall I haven't had this for very long but I'm liking it."


"I was diagnosed with diverticulitis in the ER I was given 2 antibiotics. I remember one of them leaving such a horrible taste in my mouth that I literally scrapped the back of tongue with a paper towel. From the prescription I learned the names Ciprofloxacin  and Metronidazole, take every 12 hrs for 10 days. By the 3rd dose I had the strongest headache ever, and diarrhea! The pharmacist told me that the headache was a result of the diarrhea because my body was being drained. Said I should increase on my water intake. Today I'm at dose 5 and I must say the pain has subsided greatly now at "3". I did increase my water intake, and although the diarrhea is still here, the headache too has subsided now at a "2"."


"I can fall asleep very easily, but my problem is staying asleep.  Not only did this product keep me awake all night, but I woke up with a severe headache, stomach cramps, dizziness, and grogginess the entire next day.  I felt like I was hungover.  Never again.  I'm sticking to Z-Quil."


"I started taking Invokana about 2 weeks or so ago.  I have been Type 2 diabetes for 15 years.  Last year I had to start insulin in addition to the metformin ER and glimiperide I have been taking.  I have been trying desperately to lose weight too.  My doc let me go on phentermine 3 months ago, and I lost 12 lbs in 3 months.  I needed to lose 35-40 more.  My last A1C was 6.9, up from 6.6 the 3 months preceding.  So, doc told me about this new medicine.  She stopped my glimiperide and I still take 2000mg metformin ER (split am/pm) and she cut my insulin to 11 units am, 20units pm.  My sugars have gone up, fasting is now between 124-150 (whereas before they were 90-120), and 2 hrs after I'm around 178. "


"I heard from a lady I work with about Fastin and she told me it worked well for her.  So I came on this site and read the reviews. I was concerned with a lot of reviews stating that the were side effects such as pounding/racing heart and jitters. Dospite the reviews, I still ordered the pills. After receiving the pills, I still waited a few days before starting because I was terrified of the side effects. So I finally started taking the pills a week ago. I started taking just half a pill in the morning and half after lunch like recommended in a review I read.  After a couple days I began taking a whole pill after breakfast and a whole after lunch. I have had no side effects at all and have lost 5 lbs in 1 week"


"It's really effective in controlling pain associated with Crohn's Disease."


"Gave it 9 out of 10 as it did make me feel queasy. My most recent 'episode' with my cervical spine spun my world upside down. An inflamed and angry nerve is unlike anything else.  I can't express how much pain I was experiencing...excruciating doesn't do it justice.  Anyway, I don't like to take any kind of medication, but was willing to sell my soul to the devil at this point.  After taking all 6 pills on day 1, I immediately felt relief, not 100%, but SO much better! Day 2 began good, but as the day went on there was an increase in nerve pain.  Day 3 was a rollercoaster day, but still noticed improvement.  Day 4 and 5 showed improvement (until I got hit with a water balloon) Day 6, was still sore, but better. I hope the healing continues."


"I started using Imitrex about two months ago.  It does wonders for me.  I take a short nap in a dark, quiet room after taking the medication and this helps a great deal.  I have not had any side effects.  I love it and recommend it!"


"I have been using Invega for less than a year. The reason I appealed to this medication was because it was the only extended release medication on the market. What this means is that the medication slowly released into our body within 24 hours. Other medication when you take it, it hits our body straight away to the top and gradually decrease the medication in our body.  I find that it is good as it gives less severed side effect as the medication in our body at a constant level.  I don't have any major side effects from this medication other than depression and insomnia but that in general related to my unresolved personal life issues. My prolactin level lower compared to when I was on Solian. Less lethargic & sleepy"


"I love this pill so much I plan on taking it until I'm 50! Regulated my periods right to the hour of arrival. No cramps, shortened them from 7 days to 4 days. Skin became dewy soft and clear. It did cause some weight gain but not much more than 5-7 lbs. Been taking this for 5 years and no side effects. I do recommend this."


"I used to spend hours searching the web for some sort of cure for my obsessive thoughts. I was looking for answers and had fear of depression and anxiety. I have been taking this medication two months and I can honestly see an improvement in the person I am becoming. I am more patient for sure. I still have minimal anxiety but I am able to think through it without sitting in my bed and crying. I am someone who is terrified of ALL medication but I knew I had to do something for myself. At age(20) This has been such a positive experience and I plan on moving up my dose to see more improvements. I was in CBT for a year prior to this medication but found myself actually becoming worse. STAY OFF GOOGLE AND TAKE IT."


"IT'S A TRUE MIRACLE.
30 seconds before my presentation I was gonna run away from the class lol but the second I started talking that was the moment the miracle started.
I could think straight, no trembling or voice shaking . I mean I was nervous which is totally normal but I had no physical symptoms of anxiety.
I took a 20mg in the morning and a 40mg 1 hour before presentation but I think the 40mg would do the job but I didn't want to risk anything.
 totally game changer!"


"I felt so much less anxious initially, so foolishly, and with doctors encouragement, I stayed on Paxil for 3-4 years.  Two months ago, I started to ween myself off this medicine very slowly. I have never felt so bad in my 72 years of life.  At first, I felt it must be the flu though I'd had a flu shot in November of last year (13).  The withdrawal symptoms of nausea, vomiting, hot flashes. Not thinking clearly, fatigue, extremely vivid and frightening dreams, dizziness, and depression lasted 5-6 days.  My doctor recommended that I go back on Paxil at half a tablet initially, and then a whole tablet after a week.  So it has been two weeks now of my taking a 40mg. Dose each evening.  I tried documenting my terrible experience."


"This medicine really helped my son during his severe infections."


"Day 2 I wondered why my feet were stinging and burning when I got ready to go to bed. Now I notice they are stinging again.  I guess three days is enough for me."


"I just finished my first month and it has been wonderful for me! I was using Seasonique from September to June, but I was constantly on my period with it and ever since I switched to Loestrin 24, I have only had my period on the designated days. I was originally given Seasonique because I had periods like 2 times a year and they would be horribly heavy and awful. My period on Loestrin 24 is light and easy to manage. It didn't cut down on any cramping, but Advil can easily cure that. I am so happy I switched! Very pleased!"


"When I first got on the pill I saw no real side effects. In the second month my period was all over the place but has regulated and become lighter and shorter since. I did see bad acne underneath my skin right after my first period but that lasted a day and since my skin has been clearer. My breasts are increasing in size. And I have yet to get pregnant. I haven't had any mood swings or depression. I still have a great sex drive and have had a great experience with this pill. Weight wise I've lost a couple pounds in the 3 1/2 months I've been on it despite my Poor eating habits. My friend didn't have a good experience after the first month and stopped. But birth control messes with hormones so it'll get worse before it gets better while you adjust."


"This has been the only medication that has worked to combat both my narcolepsy and cataplexy symptoms. Before taking this I was just on high doses of stimulants and even though they helped energy wise I still had massive brain fog and when my stimulants wore off my cataplexy got even worse. This stuff is a miracle and have no idea what I would do without it."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Wonderful prep. Had slight abdomen pain towards the end. It did exactly what it was meant for. It really was not bad at all!! The only reason it didn't get a ten was because it was a lot to drink. I chugged some. Sipped it. And it took 4 hours to finish but I like this because you do it at your own pace. And once you are empty. No more loose stools!"


"Victoza caused me to have Pancreatitis."


"Knocked me out like a light after an hour and a half of taking it 100mg for a mouth"


"I am 63 years old and have BHP which I controlled effectively for several years with Flomax and that family of medicines.  However, about 8 months ago, I began to suffer severe vertigo.  After several thousands of dollars of tests from a variety of specialists, I quit taking Doxazosin and that family of medicines and switched to Avodart.  The vertigo went away within a few days.  It took Avodart about a week to kick in and it is not as effective at improving flow as the others, but I can sleep all night without getting up.  However, as others have noted my libido plummeted to zero and I am not on testosterone replacement.  The two counteract each other and I just need to find the right mix that I am willing to live with."


"My doctor prescribed Tramadol for my fibromyalgia - which I have had for 20 years - about 8 months ago.  Over the years the symptoms have lessened, but some days it is just hard to get up - pain, achy, foggy headed.  I tried the Tramadol and it killed the pain almost immediately plus it had an unexpected extra bonus.  I have had a lot of foot pain for many years and sometimes could barely hobble around - the pain was gone.  I could actually put on shoes and not be in misery.  I'm going to London in a few weeks and now don't worry about the tours and being in pain.  This medicine is my lifesaver.  I have had two bad experiences with it though both drug interactions with allergy medications - sweating, headache and vomiting. Take it alone."


"Had nexplanon for a little over a year and a half. No period which was great, but the weight gain was awful. I was always around 130 and I went to get it removed today and weighed 159. Ridiculous. It was nice to not have to take a pill. But I noticed a loss of energy and depression from the weight gain. Just haven't felt like myself. As for preventing pregnancy it's great..but I won't be getting it again. I pray that I can lose this weight now.."


"So, I'm young, no pregnancies etc. I was on the pill for a while, I had no negative side effects, but wanted something a little more safe. I then was on Depo, which was absolutely miserable. I was depressed, sex hurt, and my libido was gone. When I switched to the ring, all had been restored. It took 3 or 4 months to regulate, but I am so happy I waited. I am finally happy. And, the best part, my libido is back! This is the best, most fool-proof low-hormone birth control, and it is perfect for me!
I only have 3 complaints with this.
1. My boyfriend can feel it, and says it sometime hurts. But I usually remove it during intercourse
2. There is more discharge
3. This product is expensive. I receive it for free, but if I had to pay for it, I might not be on it."


"I have been on Depo Provera for about 8 years and I've loved it.  I haven't had any cramps but I do spot for a couple weeks before my shot is due.  I never gained weight, although I should note that I have a very high metabolism.  However, my doctor recently had me do a bone density test and the results were not good.  I'm 25 and my bone density levels were very close to those with osteoporosis.  Studies show this is reversible once you are off the shot, however, the studies are not clear about the long term effects.  So, unfortunately, my doctor no longer wants me on the shot and I am currently looking into another form of birth control."


"This pill is a miracle for me. I've been taking it for about a month now, and within four days my nagging depression, anxiety and paranoia were almost completely eliminated, which I had not expected at all. My Obsessive  Compulsive Disorder has also calmed down significantly since taking it, and my overall demeanor has changed from angry and suspicious all the time, to happy and full of energy."


"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 23 no kids. I got the IUD over a year ago and I am experiencing changes in my period. They last 7 days when they used to last 3. I get horrible cramps and discharge a week before them. They have also changed in dates. Mine used to be around the first of the month now they show up whenever they feel like it. The only plus side is that I am not pregnant but that's only because I can't have sex due to the long periods and weird cramping and discharge."


"I took this medication for just two days. My doc told me I did not have to wean off of effexor I could just start taking the trintellix on the day I chose.  I became severely depressed.  It hit me like a load of bricks.  Sobbing, feeling helpless, hopelessness and that my life was just not worth living.  I was shocked at how fast these feeling came upon me  I have never experienced something like this before and I have been on several antidepressants over the years.  I also had severe nausea and diarrhea for over 24 hours.  The third day, yesterday I went back to the effexor.  Today I finally feel like myself inside and out.  This medication was NOT for me!"


"I'm not sure mucinex works. I know it kept me wide awake. It was hard for me to sleep. When I was awake,  In felt like my balance was off, so I felt dizzy. U couldn't go down spiral steps. I would not recommend it.

"Yes, from Yaz I switched to Loestrin Fe. I gained weight and my bottom got so big! I am switching back to Yaz again. I gained 10 lbs in a month! All I eat is salad and everything under control. Not even junk food nor food with sugar. I am so disappointed. Everyone is telling me I am fat now."


"For the first time in my life the noise
my very loud voice in my head that has NO filter is gone! The lithium has given me peace.. 8 months in and I am starting to miss my grandiose ideas but not enough to stop medication.
I will now be on this forever the peace and quiet in my mind allows me to regulate better and not get so angry"


"In my late 20s on 10 mg a day - 7 days using the medication
I've been experiencing anxiety for some years now. With citalopram, I can finally make eye contact without feeling awkward. I would go to my college counselor for a simple evaluation on my grades and I would begin to sweat, then I'd walk out the office feeling embarrassed, asking myself, "why did you get so nervous?!" Nothing seems to irritate me as much, problems just roll off my back. I tried provoking myself into becoming worried by thinking about upcoming events that involve social situations, but my mind doesn't allow me to panic. Its like my head boxes the "uneasiness"! Now I'm anxious to go to school to learn, ask questions, socialize with worrying what people think about me!"


"Leaving a positive review because this site almost scared me into not getting it at all!  This product is AWESOME! Insertion was painful but mostly was a really strong cramp. Over in 5 minutes, and I went straight back to work afterwards. I was crampy for a few days but nothing ibuprofen couldn't fix.  Less than a week out, and cramping is gone!

I feel great!  No pills everyday on a strict time schedule. No side effects from the hormones (for me mainly nausea, bloating, extreme tiredness, and other ahem...issues).  My energy is back, and I feel like myself again! If anything changes for the worse I'll update, but since side effects are usually worse in the beginning, I am hopeful! I follow up in a few weeks with Dr. to check placement."


"Hi ladies!
So I had BV and went to doctors to get prescription. The doctor prescribed ONE dose of 2000MG ( 4 pills of 500MG) and take it all at once!!! After day two my symptoms are GONE!!! Maybe the doctor should prescribe one dosage for BV as it's very effective!!!!!!!! Consider it"


"This product is awful! Not two minutes after applying it, I felt an intense itchy sensation that was far worse that the yeast infection itself. I was so miserable. I thought maybe they were just side effects, but upon further research I learned that I was not the only one with this problem. I'm so scared because I read that some women had to go to Urgent Care due to the severe results this product caused, such as swelling and burning. I'm worse off than I was before."


"I had my Nexplanon device inserted about eleven months ago.  The only side effect I think I've experienced is spot bleeding.  For a while it wasn't so bad- I wouldn't have my period for a very long time (like two months) then I would have it for longer than I used to with a different consistency (over a week).  Now, I pretty much bleed randomly all the time. It makes my sexual life difficult.  I will probably get it taken out at my next gynecological exam."


"Gave me diarrhea, dizziness, nausea, stomach cramps, and even some numbness in tongue/face. Worse than the cough. Never again."


"I've been on this medication for 3 years. Women: realize that any time you switch birth control you will feel funny for a few months. Once you clear that hurdle, this medication is great. I have perfectly clear skin, light periods and have not gained a pound. I'm switching to Implanon only because I'm tired of remembering to take a pill every day."

"This is my third week and all of a sudden I experience panic attacks like I have completely gone insane. I have cried and was sick worried over everything and everybody.

Definitely, I need to change the pill, this is definitely not working for me.
"


"I would give it a negative 100 if I could. It is being misused for simple infections and has destroyed 100s of 1000s of lives. It destroyed mine. (after only 4 pills). look up Cipro toxicity. Got to the fluoroquinolone wall of pain. Do some homework but do NOT take this drugs unless you are dying and there is no other option."


"Worst mistake of my life. I found out after a year of terrifyingly heavy periods that lasted all but 5 days a month and cramps that made me an invalid regularly that this iud contains copper plated nickel. DO NOT USE THIS IUD if you have ANY sort of sensitivity to nickel! You will wish you could die and you will feel sick 100% of the time.

I toughed it out for a long time with paragard to see if it would get better. It didn't. Don't wait if a bc disagrees with you...you might lose a year of being functional and happy because of a bc that ruins your physical and/or mental health like this one did for me."


"I started talking 600 mg three times a day for anxiety. It has done wonders. I used to have really bad anxiety when driving. I no longer have it. I also have really bad social anxiety. Now.... I sometimes can't stop talking to everyone.  lol The only downside is I feel a little weak and sleepy sometimes. Which makes it hard having a toddler."


"I was diagnosed with plaque psoriasis this year and was started on Humira shortly after the diagnosis..... I cannot be more pleased with any other medication! Within 2 months my skin was completely clear and itch free! No more redness or scaling... Humira is a miracle."


"Great product that works. I have used so many products that do not work."


"Oh my God! I read the instructions. It says 1 to 3 tablets at bedtime. I took 2. I honestly believe that 3 would've killed me dead!! Worst stomach pain and cramps of my life.  I was sure I was dying. Vomiting, sweating and laboured breathing as well as shaking and panic stricken. I am sure that people that took 3 of those demon pills died on their bathrooms a painful and slow death. Rest on peace!

"Prepping tonight for tomorrow's procedure.  I'm now in the restroom for a while so why not do this?  Taste isn't great.  Smells like cough syrup and tastes like salty,  watered down, Nyquil in my opinion.  I chugged it; finishing the first dose in about 10 minutes.  It kicked in after about 20 mins. I am tiny bit nauseous, but no headache as I've seen on other reviews. Bowel motion is literally water and at first couldn't even feel it. Now, after my 3rd trip, things are pretty raw. I'm using a toilet paper, baby wipe, vaseline combo."


"I've suffered with Bipolar II for roughly 7 years, after two suicide attempts, months of insomnia, and horrible manic events, I finally found a doctor who knew what he was talking about! In combination with Prozac, I have started my titration of Lamictal. I tried Zyprexa and gained 20 pounds in a month. With Lamictal, I've lost that and more. I hardly feel hungry. I have faith that once my dose is increased I won't have as many depressed days. So far so good!"


"I have been on Minastrin for about 5 months and have had no real negative physical side effects. My boobs grew a half of a cup side but that was it for physical effects. I did, however, experience emotional and psychological side effects. I noticed that I rarely wanted to leave the house and had no desire to see friends. It made me extremely overdramatic and moody. I just switched to another BC because I was beginning to feel too depressed. I'm not certain that this depression is coming from Minastrin but it began around the time I started this pill."


"Became very constipated on this medication."


"I had really bad acne for years, and finally my doctor told me to try out Epiduo, and it worked! But like all great things it took some time, I started using it when I was about 19 and its cut back on my scarring and everything but I also used it with Birth Control because my breakouts are hormonal! So with the help of birth control and Epiduo my skin is the dream team. Without my birth control though Epiduo works Good but with it, it works AMAZING! It's all about finding that combination with your skin. Hope this helps. And just be patient because it takes a little time but totally worth it."


"I like Savella better than Lyrica. It works well for me, even though I'm in a physical job. I still hurt, but it's better than nothing and there aren't really any side effects. When I first started it, I did tend to get hot really fast, but that has gone away."


"Axiron works great. After 2 months my my T levels were between 400 and 500. Sadly, my insurance won't cover it anymore and now I'm force to find a new option because I can't afford $500 a month out of pocket."


"This pill works but differently to for different bodies. I took it within 24 hours of having unprotected sex . In 5 days I had slight bleeding and thought was a symptom of pill. I was little relived but was waiting for my period to come which I was suppose to get  on 08.20.17 but it didn’t so thought as a side effect probably it will delay and didn’t have any signs  of getting period, like cramps even a week passed.  So I though I am pregnant so I had home test but negative.
But I was not getting period but after 10 days of delay which was yesterday 08.30.17 all of a sudden I had cramps and got my period.I am so happy and relieved So ladies please try to be stress free if you take a pill within 72 hrs it will work!!"


"I've been taking this medication on and off for over 3 years, and it has worked wonderfully. Just a third or half of a 5mg pill works for me. I have not experienced any side effects, but do go right to bed once I take the pill."


"I felt compelled to share my thoughts because Vestura has been the only oral contraceptive that I've liked, and here are just a few of the others I have taken (in which I've experienced unpleasant side effects that caused me to discontinue use): Gianvi, Zarah, Yaz, Reclipsen

Other pills I have taken have resulted in side effects including: acne, reduced libido, mood swings, and breakthrough bleeding.  I typically skip the inactive pills (thus eliminating any monthly bleeding), and Vestura has been the only pill in which I have not experienced breakthrough bleeding or spotting.  I have not had a single instance of spotting since starting Vestura about a year ago."


"Monistat 1 Day treatment worked for me. Burned and itched for about 4-5 hours when first applied. Drained mostly out for about 3 days after usage. Sometimes it will not drain all the way out, lightly douche with water only to clear the rest if not cleared completely by day 4. Most will clear itself though. No sex during this process. Try to wait until day 5 or until monistat completely drains from the vagina. Overall good product. Any monistat will do the trick for a yeast, whether it's the 1 day 3 day or 7 day."


"I am on the 0.6 dose so far and been on this for a week. I have not lost anything and I eat 1200 calories or less every day, drink water and walk every night.  I think this only works if you are extremely fat or cannot control your eating because nothing has changed for me at all.  I am 41 years old 5'4 and 196 pounds and I tried the Belviq also with zero success.  This medicine does not work"


"I had a migraine for about 7 months before I even went to the doctor. I've now been taking propranolol for about 5 and a half years now and at 21 I am now almost completely migraine free. I still get migraines at times where I am highly stressed but otherwise I don't have to worry about taking sumatriptan when I have bad migraine considering it affected me badly even if it did get rid of my migraine. It doesn't have any bad side effects for me.I just take it before bedtime and no more migraines."


"The first two weeks of being on the nexplanon was the worst. I had my period and my arm from the insertion was hurting like anything for the longest time. One thing I hate about this birth control was the weight gain. I started the nexplanon in May 2014 and ever since then I gained 17 pounds. No matter how healthy I eat or how much I exercise, I cannot lose the weight. Not only was the weight a big downside, but I was so moody all the time and lost my sex drive. The only good thing about this birth control was not having my period for over a year which can also be a scary thing for most people. Also it is 99.9% effective so I felt very safe on nexaplanon. However I do not recommend this birth control option."


"I have used this drug for several years now and have had good success with it. I am on the 100mg and for the most part this will do the trick if I catch it in time."


"This drug has worked tremendously for me. I take it 2x a day with food and it has almost ended my rushing to the bathroom. I can go about my life without always knowing where the bathroom is. It has some bloating and gas side effects but it cut my IBS-D down to shreds. I use to go 8-10 times a day and now I have a much more normal schedule. Cannot praise this drug enough!"


"This medication I take 200mgs in a divided dose daily , have experienced considerable reduction in medium - strong pain.

Well tolerated over the last 4 weeks

Many thanks to all , it's worth a try!"


"Had conjunctivitis for 10 days and was unable to get it to clear up. Within a span of 3 hours of using Besivance the infection started clearing up. Within 2 days all swelling, redness, itchy, and discharge gone."


"Just had my second injection yesterday. After the first injection I was somewhat sore and knee was swollen, however, since yesterday soreness has retreated and swelling has subsided. Feels good. It takes, as I understand it, 4-6 weeks to take full effect. So, we will see, but so far so good."


"I've been on narcotic pain meds for over 20 years for severe degenerative joint disease in my back and several other joints. My doctor gave me lidocaine 5% patches to try about a month ago. I seriously doubted they would help, as any other topical creams have never helped much, but I was pleasantly surprised. They work so well that I have decreased my opiate dosage by half and am able to be more active than I have been in years. I don't think that they will work that well for everyone, but I do recommend everyone try them if they can, it has been a godsend for me."


"I am taking Victoza 1.6 everyday. At the beginning I lost 10 lb but since then I don't move. "


"Easy to use. No pain just gentle comfort. Excellent"


"I was given this medication after my insurance stopped covering Embrel (which worked awesome for me) the beginning of 2015. To me, this medication what the worst of all worst for my body. While taking this medication, I experience every side effect that it stated and never subsided. I experienced massive headaches, diarreah, and MAJOR weight loss. I had lost 10 - 15 pounds within a 3 month period. Now that iT has been almost a year in a half, I am STILL struggling to gain my weight back. The extreme weight loss now has caused joint issues that has prevented me from doing my daily routine activities. It didn't do much for my plaque psoriasis either. I wouldn't suggest this medication to anyone."


"I am kind of upset at the negativity that I have seen posted: bad acne, cramps, wt gain, low sex drive...all of which I was afraid of. However, I admit that I have been breaking out a bit more but I started washing my face twice daily and it has subsided a lot better with occasional breakouts. I was told in the past that chin acne is due to hormones. My cramps are bad only when I spot (only happens once in a while) I'm not saying they are comfy, but are better than before I was ever on a birth control tabs, I believe that I have actually lost weight, not due to mirena, but due to work, etc. You need to stay active anyways, so who can really say that it's the bc? However, I do believe that the nuva ring caused mine. My sex drive is actually increased too:)"


"Previously on Bydueron, which worked really well! Unfortunately, my insurance stopped covering it. Tried Trulicity..made me sick. Started Tanzeum in April 2016, and my numbers have gotten worse, I've gained 15 lbs and it's making feel down. I will be asking my doctor to put me back on Bydureon and hopefully the insurance will cover."


"Worst experience took it at night and now woke up nauseous and can't sleep going back to my medication that worked for me for years."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in February 2012.  Plaquenil has been the second medication we've tried.  I've only taken it 1 week and have a horrible rash on both arms and on the backs of my legs.  It has caused diarrhea and headaches.  I have stopped taking this medication and am currently waiting to see what medication we will try next."


"I'm 17 years old. I had the Nexplanon inserted 1 year ago.  I was getting the Depo shots for 2 years before I got the implant because I had very heavy and long periods. I got sick of going in every month for a shot so I figured getting the implant that lasts 3 years would be perfect and I wouldn't have to worry about getting pregnant. I haven't had a period since I got the implant, no spotting or any bleeding at all. I didn't gain any weight from it. Its not common for people to gain weight from it. But if you do eat healthy and exercise and you should be fine."


"Injured my ankle one day and this caused me to sit around for two weeks. Normally, I have a very active lifestyle but sitting for two weeks caused a old knee injury to flare up. To make this short I take naproxen once every morning and have had very little pain since. "


"This med is amazing! I've been on it 3 weeks and lost 30lbs!!!!!!! Never expected that "


"I have been suffering from headaches for about 3 yrs now. I started taking gabapentrin, and at first it made me very sleepy, even a bit moody. But now I'm starting to feel a lot better taking them. Another great thing for migraines that will help within 5 minutes is "maxalt". This medicine is great for really bad migraine headaches."


"Works well it will keep you up. At the same time if you get off work and need to sleep you still can. Not like other medications. Alert but no strong out feeling."


"I like Celexa so much better than Zoloft. With Zoloft I had trouble sleeping, nausea and it did not help my anxiety and depression symptoms. I have had a great experience with Celexa. So much so that I am uncertain if I would ever want to be taken off of it."

"I tested HIV  on 8/11/15 and started taking Stribild on 8/25/15.
On 8/25/15 my CD4 Count was 576 and HIV Viral Load was 52992. I took Stribild at night before bed with 16oz of water. In the morning I drank another 16oz bottle of water along with (1)Selenium 200mcq and (1)L-Glutathione 500mg, what I took in the morning. I started working out at the gym 4(x) week faithfully and on 9/25/15 I went to the Dr to get my new blood test results and my CD4 Count was 795 and HIV Viral Load was 28. I was told that I was "UNDETECTABLE," I Thank God for the results. I am on the right track and had NO SIDE EFFECTS"


"I have been on this medication for about 3 years. I had to go off of due to being pregnant and breastfeding. This medicine has worked wonders. I have tried so many different things and this is the only one that has made it so I can go out side and play with my kids instead of saying not now mommys back really hurts. It was to the point where it was getting hard to get out of bed. So thank you for making it possible for me to function again, and feel normal."


"I have an oily face and bad acne usually around once a month. I started applying Epiduo every night, and saw results immediately. My face was clear and non-oily. Then within a couple days, my face became over dry and it hurt and burned to put it on at night. It was miserable but only lasted the 1st week. My face then returned to it's normal oily level, but while also having the roughness of dry skin and peely skin in some spots. My face was also extremely red and sensitive, and my acne was much worse. After about 1 month, I decided to stop using it every night and only apply it on acne when needed and it is so much better this way. Face is no longer overly sensitive and red.

Side note, this does bleach towels/pillowcases/etc."


"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."


"This has been my life saver. I got this one month after my daughter was born. At first you are moody, and I bled for 2 weeks. (But I was a new mom so could be that). I've had no periods, and not having to remember all those stupid little pills is fantastic. But another thing is I have lost 55lbs WHILE on this. The first two years I did nothing towards dieting but when I finally decided to make the change this birth control did not hold me back. I LOVE this BC."


"I have had RSD for 20 years and was well controlled on 30mg Percocet and 30mg Methadone a day. The pain doctor wanted a change and now I am on the new Oxycontin 20mg twice a day.  I took my 20mg at 7 am.  It is now 8 hours later and I
am at a level 7 pain.  From the last few days experience when I take 20mg at 7pm, it will last until midnight then I will be at a level 8 or 9 pain.  I have not slept in 3 days.  I was well controlled! Why couldn't she leave it alone?
"


"I was suffering from Blepharitis for about 3 years. Severe eye allergies constantly plagued me, with recurring bouts of Conjuctivitis.  The only thing that helped me were expensive antibiotic drops to clear up the infections.  After my 6th case of pink eye in a year I went to see an eye specialist and they recommended I try Bepreve.  That was about 3 years ago.  My Blepharitis is minimal, pink eye is gone, allergies are minimal and as long as I wear good UV protective sunglasses I am fine. "


"I have had 2 rounds (5 years each) with the Mirena and never had a problem. This round they used the Liletta IUD which was inserted on June 1st. It was supposed to be better. It is not. I have had my period for 37 days straight. They should advertise that it's effective because you won't have sex since you  will have your period EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have resorted to buying pads and tampons in bulk.  I'm over it. Biggest mistake and wish I spoke up and insisted on the other brand. Stay away from this one. It's not worth it. I gave it the one star because I will take part blame for not doing more research."


"So, i got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday, July 12th, and I was completely under anestesia in a surgical center. I was not able to move my bowels after wards because of the anestesia and medicine. It's 4:00 on Friday, the 14th. I took Milk of magnesia at 3:30 and I am finally using the bathroom !! Highly recommend"


"I've taken Zyprexa as an adjunct to Lithium for Bipolar I. My thoughts are slower and it has gotten rid of any anxiety (this I think is the best side effect). I have not had issues with weight gain. I change between 5 and 10 mg per day and how I feel. Sometimes it can cause me to sleep late and need to take it earlier in the evening to avoid that.  Great medicine to keep me stable and stop intrusive thinking."


"4 months ago I had an accident and severely injured my Achilles tendons in both legs - very painful. Doctor prescribed Ibuprofen 600mg every 6 hours and Tramadol 50-100mg every 8 hours. I find that taking 50mg every 4 hours works way better than taking 100mg every 8 hours. So far I have had no side effects. "


"I'm starting my second month of using Lo Loestrin Fe. I tried other birth control pills at different dosages but they would make me feel really dizzy and sick. My doctor provided me with Lo Loestrin Fe and so far I have not felt as bad as I had before with previous birth control methods.
I have felt somewhat dizzy but quickly goes away. The only main concern is why I have not started my period yet. I know the pill can affect your body in different ways but I don't like that you don't know if whether it's because of the pill or if you're pregnant. I have been cramping and have really tender breasts but no period. Don't know if this is normal or not which is why I came to look over these reviews. Looks like it really depends on the person."


"I have tried Yasmin twice and this time it made me so nauseous that I couldn't go to college so I stopped. Then I decided to suck it up and carry on and I'm so glad I did because the feeling of sickness only lasted about 5 days and now I am fine. I feel that my appetite is suppressed so I don't eat as much. My boobs feel a bit tender and I have gone up a cup size. I am yet to see results on my skin, it's still quite bad but I assume it takes time to clear up. Also my last comment is that I have recently had difficulty breathing and my chest was really tight? The doctor said it is allergy related but I read online it can also be a reaction to Yasmin. My doctor said it was unlikely though."


"I've been taking 500mg a day for about a year now. I couldn't be much more pleased!

Before taking this I would start with 1 sore on my lip, then on the other side, then in my sinus (The pain once one's far enough back you can't medicate it- I don't know that words exist for that. It basically shuts you down.) then the other side, or maybe my lip, or maybe down below it is not genital herpes They are small, like the ones on my face.)

2 months, then in another 2-3 months, here we go again.
Since being on this they hardly turn up anymore!

It might not be a cure, but it's damn close as far as I am concerned. Tiny tingly spots, never break into sores, maybe three times, months apart!"


"I started to develop depression around puberty, over the years it became more and more intense. Some days I would cry and have to leave school, around two years ago my Doctor put me on 50mg of Zoloft. The first few weeks were a wreck, I had terrible nausea, was tired all the time, could barely eat, and some days I would experience a zombie feeling. After the Zoloft started to kick in the side effects subsided. I went through bouts of not taking it and then I would feel bad and start taking it again, every time I went back on the pill the stomach pains increased to were I would eat once every other day. Since then I have been put on a new medication that I hope starts kicking in. All in all Zoloft was amazing, if you stick to it."


"Have been taking this for over 5 yrs and have found it to be pretty good overall. Have had no side effects like the ones mentioned here by others so it's obviously very individual. Have noticed recently tho that its effectiveness has been waning so am now on Mirap to try to boost my depression   am completely drowsy nearly all the time!?"


"I take non generic Depakote ER 1750 mg?? Haldol 4 mg, and propranolol 20 mg.  I have some hair loss, insomnia, and shakiness.  I believe the medicine is finally working after 17 years of trying every bipolar medication with Depakote ER.  I lose my patience and get angry at customer service representatives sometimes.  I lose my patience and get mildly angry at my husband but it appears to be under control.  The insomnia at times gets really bad and I wind up calling lifenet to cope.  I will be trying melatonin 3mg to see if this helps.  I want to try 1500 mg of Depakote ER to see if my insomnia improves also."


"Rheumatologist put me on Cymbalta for fibromyalgia.  I started on the medication, 20 mg, I think.  I worked at a bank at the time and 1 week into taking it I was having anxiety attacks at work.  I had anxiety before this but not in social situations like this.  I stayed on it for another week or so but took myself off.  She also put me on amitriptine  for muscle relaxation at night.  First it knocked me the heck out, then within 2 wks I would wake up with bad cramps in my legs and such tension/contraction in all my muscles that I couldn't sleep. Weaned myself off of that too. Told Dr what happened, she said it wasn't the medicine causing the symptoms.  Right..  10 months later still have anxiety, voice is shaky, not working."


"This review is based on my own experiences and my opinion doesn't reflect Lexapro (Escitalopram). I found Lexapro's starting side effects to be mild and tolerable - I experienced dizziness, nausea, dry mouth and sexual dysfunction. However, like I said they were mild and tolerable and they subsided after a few days. I experienced no worsening of my depressive or anxiety symptoms. As I just mentioned I suffer from depression and anxiety and although I didn't find Lexapro to be a "miracle pill" that fully cured me of my ailment's but it did significantly alleviate them to mild and tolerable levels. Overall for me Lexapro was an easy antidepressant to start and it has been effective in treating my depression and anxiety."


"I took plan b about a month and a half ago after a condom slipping off. We rushed to a 24 hour pharmacy a few towns over. I took it about an hour after it happened. I had nausea and fatigue the following day and I started spotting for about 5 days the following week. I spent the past month and a half convincing myself I was pregnant, I seemed to have almost all the early symptoms. I stalked this website and promised myself to write a review either way. I took a test today because I did not get my period when it was due (4 days ago) and it was negative. Ladies, don't do what I did. Don't look up every single symptom you ~may~ be experiencing. Don't look up plan b failure stories. It's not 100% but torturing yourself will only make it worse."


"I can barely apply this by myself to my Vag (with a mirror & carefully so not to get it on other skin areas), how am I supposed to apply to anus without getting on skin around warts?! I'm single & there is NO friend I feel close enough to ask for help. I can't go to the Dr for application 3x a week. WTH? How are you guys applying to your own bum?! I'm scared & this sucks."


"Tramadol was initially prescribed for pain. Didn't work at all to relieve my chronic headaches. But I noticed a lessening of stiffness from arthritis, as well as a more stable mood. Less anxiety."


"I've been on Nexplanon for 4 months and taking it out. I get headaches everyday, I'm on medium to light periods the WHOLE month (always bloated), and I'm losing a lot of hair not the average amount of hair loss after a pregnancy...also regular acne breakouts which I didn't have. Everyone is different."


"I've had chronic insomnia (clinical diagnosis, sleep studies, neurologists, etc.) for over 25 years, starting in high school and gradually getting worse over the decades.  No drugs aside from powerful depressants (barbits, benzos, tranquilizers, etc.) had helped me at all.  Ambien CR has been a miracle medication for me.  My insomnia is so constant and severe (I literally won't sleep a single minute some nights) that my Dr lets me take it every night.  Many people talk about the possible side-effects of long-term usage, but that ignores the very definite effects of chronic insomnia.  I have no next-day side-effects, but I will have rebound insomnia if I stop.  Taking with a glass of water helps for me; so does good sleep hygiene rules."


"I had my Mirena put in about 3-4 months ago. I have few very tolerable symptoms, which was awesome because I had horrible symptoms on the pill. I had lost 10lbs prior to Mirena, but gained the 10 back. Not sure if IUD or diet affected that. I get a few blemishes more than normal, but nothing too noticeable. It hurt a bit when they were placing it but was definitely worth it. I had my period for the 1st month, then have had light spotting once a month. I still get minor menstrual cramps though. Overall, I am very pleased with this method because I am too busy to remember a pill everyday and I don't feel comfortable wearing patches or rings."


"As a medical doctor with a practice specializing in the management of acute and chronic pain I find, from experience, that this medicine has sufficient pain relieving attributes but in return comes with a high risk of dependency."


"I am 43 and have been taking Monodox for a few weeks.  It is working great with no side effects.  Solodyn also worked great for me but had so many side effects that I had to stop taking it.  I am also using a topical with retinal.  In my 20's I took Accutane which worked for about 10 years.  Started getting cystic acne again in my late 30's.  I am very pleased with this medicine."


"Initially it seemed to work wonders, but I cough when I really do not need to do so. I cannot get any sleep, I am nervous, and I been thinking I am going nuts!! I am stopping it immediately. It clears up the mucus but the side effects are horrible."


"39 years old, The 1st few days, no change, Urologist put me on 25 mg, twice a day, it made me so drowsy & thirsty, only took 1 pill at night, on the 14th day is when I had no more pressure or frequency on my bladder, I was back to normal, so I made the mistake of drinking coffee, huge mistake! Took medication the next day, this time morning & night, symptoms disappeared, I suggest taking Prelief before drinking coffee or any acidic food, be patient with this medicine, takes a little while to work but IT WORKS!"


"This works as birth control because you won't ever have sex on it since you'll bleed all month long and you'll have no sex drive."


"Breakthrough bleeding for 2 straight weeks. It's not worth it to me."


"When I first started taking estradiol I was having allot of issues with hair loss, hot flashes, moodiness, vaginal dryness and bladder leakage. In short, all of the nasty side affects of menopause from my total hysterictamy.  After a short time on HRT, I've noticed an improvement of all the symptoms. I normally hate taking pills and it's hard for me to stay on a regimented course of pill taking. But the positives far outweigh the negatives in this, so I have been faithful in taking my little blue pill daily. HRT isn't for everyone, but it seems to be working for me."


"I was not diagnosed with Bipolar disorder when Cymbalta was prescribed to me.  While taking Cymbalta, I was more irritable and manic. If I were only depressed and not Bipolar, I think it would have been O.K."


"Wellbutrin is the best antidepressant that I have taken. I have tried other medications: Effexor, Celexa, Lexapro and although they took away my bad depression, they left me feeling just okay. I also had weight gain and sexual side effects. Effexor also caused me to sweat a lot- even when it was not hot. The first few weeks of Wellbutrin can be tough- nervousness, dizzy, but I stuck it out and I feel much better. More energy, happier, decreased appetite, smoking much less, getting back to the real me who loves life and people. Good luck to all fellow depression  sufferers. There is hope- it does pass."


"I've been using it for a while, it helps with some of the depression side."


"WOW! All the bad reviews I cant believe it! Im a 23 years old, I love this birth control so much! I have had all positive about this product (except the longer periods in the beginning but its like that with them all). For the women that hate this product try mirena It works for a lot of ladies!"


"I started taking this medicine in the beginning of Nov.2011, mainly to reduce my hormonal acne and to regulate my period. At the end of that same month, I got my period and surprisingly the cramps were not severe. In fact, I had never had such a peaceful period in a long time. Since then, my periods have been painless. :) Mid December, I noticed that the severity of my acne had diminished and my skin had started to clear. End of Jan. 2012, I got 5 painful cysts on my face. I was extremely upset, but I decided to be patient and stick with it. My patience paid off.  It is end of February 2012 and my face looks way better. I haven't had any cysts since then. As for the side effects, just nausea when medicine is taken on an empty stomach. I LOVE IT."


"Started taking Saxensa Christmas Day. Since then have steadily lost a half pound per day for a total of 5.5 pounds in less than two weeks. Significantly, I had been working with a trainer and eating better for 3 months prior, and the scale wouldn't budge, so any movement downward is huge. I had some nausea days one and two, but no more since."


"I'm 30 years old and I have 3 degenerated discs in my spine and a pinched sciatic nerve. Until I found percocet my life was horrible. I couldn't even sleep it hurt so bad. Now I can live my life again."


"I wanted to wait sometime before I weighed in on my Benlysta infusion experience. Just had my 8th infusion, what I've noticed is less cutaneous/skin involvement. I still have joint pain, although not as severe. My autonomic nerves have also been affected by Lupus, I see no relief there; still lose consciousness because of random sudden blood pressure dips. I know Benlysta is working because I'd hate to see what shape I'd be in without it, especially with having three types of Lupus (SLE, Tumid and Discoid Lupus)."


"I got the Nexplanon implant immediately after giving birth to my son on November 18, 2015. It was quick and painless. I chose this form of BC because I know I wouldn't keep up with pills & this just seemed like the easiest way to go. Plus its good for 3 years. Five months have passed since having my son & I haven't had a single period. I do get very mild cramps and weird cravings around the time I usually get my period. No bleeding whatsoever. I have had some negative side effects with this birth control. Mood swings, severe headaches, hair loss and acne."


"I never give reviews but felt obligated after reading all of the horrible comments. This worked well for me. I did not feel any burning just slight itching. I started right away at the onset of my yeast infection. If you have had a yeast infection for a while and your skin is raw...ummm common sense says Yes it will sting and burn. If you catch it fast do not be discouraged to use this product. It works. I noticed results right away but I will wait and let the medicine run its course for 7 days. Good luck!"


"I had loose almost diarrhea stools for almost three months after a trip to Florida.  I began to seriously worry, so before going to a doctor took a dose (2 pills) of Imodium.  I returned to normal in 2 days and have had no problem since.  One dose fixed a 3 month long problem!  Read the directions.  It said to take a second dose after a second event of loose stools.  I might have taken another dose that night after the first if I had read read the instructions carefully.  I suspect some of the reviewers who had stomach pains might have done that, because I had NO discomfort.  Just an almost miraculous immediate return to normal movements.  Thank you makers!"


"Started May 3rd and the sides effects, nausea, tiredness, and lack of energy almost made me stop. I am getting slightly better on day 3 so I'll continue for now. I am diabetic so I realized I have to eat to keep my blood sugar on even scale (I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat) I haven't weight myself. Starting weight 218 lbs."


"I have severe and debilitating cluster tension headaches. I had a problem with doctors trying to treat me for migraines and I DON'T HAVE MIGRAINES. This is the only medication that seems to work. My headaches seem to stem from my neck. This medicine totally relieves my neck pain and may also be helping my sciatica. Sleepy.... YES. However I usually have trouble sleeping from the headaches and neck pain, so I'm not complaining."


"After a my injury turned from acute to chronic my Dr. prescribed 10mcg patch. I was very skeptical since a patch seems very non-traditional but I gotta say it worked terrific. You put the patch on once a week and forget about pain/pills till the next week. So effective and convenient that multiple times I have forgotten to change it after a week. Only downside is no hot tub/baths and no direct sunbathing, a bummer when you live on the CA coast! Also no tolerance issues, was on same dose with same results for 2years."


"I had a vaginal infection, and was prescribed Flagyl to cure it.  I hated the immediate awful taste in the mouth, and it dissolved immediately upon hitting my tongue.  I only experienced the awful taste and some slight stomach upset as side effects.  The infection began to clear up after 3 days of a 7 day prescription.  I recommend it, and drink something fruity with it.  Also, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL AT ALL while on this medication, OR FOR 3 DAYS AFTER YOU STOP TAKING IT.  You WILL have severe vomiting, heaving and dizziness."


"I have been using Metformin for about 1 month and have already seen results. I've lost 20lbs and have gotten my period on a regular basis. PCOS is not fun. I've become very emotional but with the proper medication, diet and exercise, it makes it a lot easier to cope with."


"I'm a 66 y/o female with what I think is "atypical depression", meaning I am not melancholy and not unduly anxious, but suffer from what I lovingly call "homocidal irritation," which can escalate to rage pretty easily. Lexapro (10mg) over the past 8-9 yrs has been a lifesafer, as any of my friends will readily corroborate. If I go off for a few days (refill issues), they can tell! However since my mother died 3 yrs ago and ended my 13-year role as caregiver, I have sunk into a very narrow life, with few interests, a morbid aversion to human interaction, and often a complete inability to get out of bed and tend to the simple basics, like eating, showering, and dressing. Have added 20mg of Wellbutrin to the mix, but so far no improvement."


"So far works better than anything else I've tried for social anxiety"


"I started Buspar about 7 months ago and after almost 2 weeks stopped taking it due to it giving me the shakes, but my worry and anxiety continued. I tried 5-HTP and that didn't work, so about a month ago my prescription was still there and I started taking Buspar again, and I'm on 7.5 mg twice a day and I feel a big difference, I think the key is to take it like its prescribed. No side effects since I have started taking it again."


"Got Implanon in April 09. It is now October and I have had only one week without spotting/bleeding since it was put in. Was not bad getting it put in, but six months of this? It's driving me crazy to always be wearing a tampon. I wouldn't know how my sex drive is cause it has prevented most of that from happening."


"Remicade has been a miracle for me. Last year this time I was totally desperate and thinking of get rid of my colon due to severe UC. Now, I am totally healthy and no sign of UC!!! If u r suffering from UC, give it a try without any doubt. Thanks to science and researchers. Of course, it takes couple of months to feel the full effect of it, but as soon as I got the first infusion I felt its positive effect. Its combination with Azathioprine works much better."


"Took clonidine for insomnia (only drug at the time). Proved completely ineffective and caused lightheadedness and dizziness."


"My dr advised the best time for insertion would be 3-4 days into my period. That day came, it took literally 30 seconds after the speculum, and no cramps at all."


"I've been taking Ambien for years now. It began losing its effectiveness sometime ago. I can usually fall asleep after taking it, but now only sleep a few hours and can't get back to sleep. I started with 10 mg of Belsomra at midnight and it did not allow me to fall asleep. At 2:30, I took another 10 mg. I did wake a few times. With Ambien that would have been it for me. I would have been up the rest of the night. With 20 mg of Belsombra I easily fell back asleep. I did not experience any bad dreams. If fact, quite the opposite. The sleep was heavenly and I didn't want to wake up. It was the best sleep I've had in years. Because I didn't get to sleep until 3 am, I slept until noon. I hope I can regulate this in the future. Cost is worrisome"


"I originally was on low dose Celexa for about 7-8 weeks and it was AWFUL. I fell asleep driving SEVERAL times, became a zombie and withdrew from socializing. I tapered it very carefully but still had severe withdrawals that almost ruined my life. 3 months after the taper I became increasingly anxious, causing me to have depression, extreme daily panic attacks and obsessive negative thoughts. I felt hopeless bc I had such a terrible experience with the Celexa. I felt like any SSRI would be impossible for me. I went to my doctor in tears (I cried every single day, several times a day) and he put me on 50mg Zoloft daily. I had "discontinuation syndrome". Zoloft saved my life and my relationship. I felt a huge difference in just 2 days!"


"My boyfriend and I have been using the pull out method for years now. I've taken plan b before and always received and immediate period and symptoms within 1 week. Well, on 7/30 we had sex and he actually came in me. I took a plan b the very next morning and basically was having early preggo symptoms for about 2 weeks. I was so scared because I had never had symptoms last that long or had to wait that long before I knew the pill worked. I took a home pregnancy test about a week after taking the pill and it came out negative but I figured it was too early to tell. I got my period on 8/15 about two weeks after taking the pill and I've never been so happy to see blood in my life. Don't freak out about he symptoms you get, the pill works."


"Took this for three months but had to stop. Reasons I didn't like it: My partner could feel it EVERY time we had sex. Stinging during and after sex. My boobs were always sore and heavy. Headaches. Bloated constantly. Itching. Depression. Anxiety. When the anxiety got so bad that I couldn't sleep at night I took it out and felt much better within 2 days. Wish it would have worked for me because I don't like taking a pill everyday."


"I am a 30 year old female and was prescribed Bactrim for a bad ear infection.  One day later I had a rash all over my arms, neck and face.  I was given a new antibiotic in the ER. "


"I've had mild Rosacea for nearly 10 years. This is by far the best product to take the redness away, albeit temporarily.

It is important that you use this product properly. Once a day and ideally at the same time every day. I use it in the mornings when I wake up and I combine it with Metrosa gel in the evenings.

If not used in the right way back flushes of redness can occur but I have managed this by using both medications in a regimented manner.

Metrosa on its own doesn't seem to do much but together with Mirvaso the pair work brilliantly."


"Well this little guy did his job he kept me from getting pregnant so that's one pro....for the others I don't any other pros. had my IUD taken out it but it broke. I have a arm lodged into my side which I am having surgery in a couple days to have it removed hopefully!  My periods were worse they lasted longer and not to mention the spotty period thru out the term I used this product!  It hurt going in it hurt coming out!  If I had to do over I wouldn't have gotten this or at least this type."


"I had a wonderful experience with this product. My period went away no cramps it is great. ...but I hear the string gets lost a lot and that's what happened to me.  An ultrasound was done and everything is in the right place but now it has been 5 years and it needs to come out.  What now?"


"This is the first medicine since I've been diagnosed with Bipolar 1 that makes me feel normal. I started on 20mg for a week then went up to 40mg for 5 wks now. Unfortunately my insurance won't cover it so now my Psych is giving me Abilify samples. I'm not happy about this because in past yr Latuda has worked the best without any side effects. Latuda made it possible to actually function as a mother and full time worker. I'm afraid to go on Abilify I don't want to feel crazy again especially after finally feeling normal for once. "


"I have never had any issues, until I was diagnosed with a very minor case diverticulitis and was prescribed this drug. It has been nine months and counting, and my life has changed. This drug cause severe stomach pain, numbing of the arms, and a trip to the ER. After two or three doses, I had to quit. The biggest outcome of this was gastritis, something I've never had in my life. Nearly every night I wake up sick. I am on multiple drugs to combat this gastritis, but my condition is getting worse. As an active person (hiking, running, biking and such), this has hampered all of these activities. My sleep is very poor now. I have no idea what I can eat or not eat. I dare not drink alcohol and cannot eat after 6p lest I suffer all night."


"Oh eff this pill. First my Dr put me on Provera to do a medicinal D&C vs. a surgical on. That was a mess. So we discussed BC pills instead because that should have a more standard response. Well my body gave me two giant middle fingers. I've been bleeding for 19 days. I'm not just talking  spotting. I use the Diva Cup, I'm shedding 1/4 oz - 1/2 oz every day. Pretty sure I'm anemic at this point.Oh and my acne is atrocious."


"I've been using Ocella for a few months. I don't use condoms and I've had zero scares so far. I have hormonal acne and it's getting better slowly. My periods are amazing now. I have no cramps whatsoever. My moods are great. Not on birth control I am a crazy monster. My cramps are unbearable for days. I have not had much weight gain and my cravings are less than normal. So far I like this."


"I have had anxiety issues off and on and knew that given I was a less stressful, more happy place I didn't need to be on serious medicine. However, I was still having a hard time going to sleep and then once I did staying asleep. I  have chronic back pain and was feeling very strung out and more anxious from lack of sleep I think, so Doc =  15mg per night. I've been taking it for 4 mo now and while I cannot stay awake two hours after taking it for the life of me (a good thing!) I am always groggy when I wake up (takes 13hrs to get out of my system from once I take it). I'm way less anxious though. The downside is at night it makes me really hungry, and I noticed that I have to fight carb cravings in day. I gained 5 pounds, and I'm big"


"This birth control has been very effective and not having to take it daily/weekly/monthly has been good.

I've had it for nearly 2 years and may have had two months combined without bleeding during that time. I've had heavy spotting since beginning it, more like a moderate period than spotting, ie Warrants the constant use of tampons and liners. It's been effective at preventing pregnancy as I've not been able to have sex for the majority of the time as the flow is too heavy.

The implant has been highly visible in my arm since implantation, so everyone can see I have it if I wear short sleeves. I am fairly thin, and I would have taken this into consideration more had I known.

Looking for alternatives."


"I started on lisinprol and was sick all the time. Awful cough, nausea and agitated took for a month. New Dr. switched me to Valsartan and I feel fantastic. The lisinprol cough seems to be almost gone and I haven't felt nauseous one time.  Very happy "


"Before taking Cipro I was a powerlifter after taking Cipro I was left unable to walk. MY tendon's are torn and I don't know if I will ever have my life back. I am currently in a wheel chair."


"Been taking Nexium 40 mg for ten years for Barrett's Esophagus. I have tried all the other proton pump inhibitor's on the market and nothing works as well. Even though my insurance will not cover it, I pay out of pocket because it's that good. No side effects at all. Best taken upon wake up 30 mins prior to any food intake. I also take a 75 mg Zantac at bedtime to insure no reflux while sleeping. Perfect combination. I have absolutely no issues and a stable endoscopy throughout my course of treatment. Hope this helps."


"This medicine works wonders for pain. I had a tonsillectomy and the doctor said to take 1-2 pills of the 5-325 mg every 4 hours. It knocked my pain from a 8/10 to a 2/10. In addition, it helped my anxiety and OCD. Just follow your doctor's instructions and don't take more than he/she says to take. "


"My son was prescribed this medication for the second time.  2 years ago along with amphetamines while in kindergarten and he became very aggressive to the point he hit me, he had terrible anger outbursts, and a LOT of issues at school.  But I was going through a divorce and 2 years later we decided to give it another chance in case it was more behavioral; however, after 2 weeks, I receive an email from his teacher about how his behavior changed dramatically for the worst. Again we stop.  This time we know he's in a happy home environment and his behavior is much better so it became obvious it's the medication.  Not for my son. He's on vyvanse only now and we'll see how that goes."


"Yes, It works! However, the side effects are horrible. Light-headed and majorly dizzy, to the point where I was very uncomfortable driving.  This is the 2nd time I've used it and the same results each time.  Caused me to call out of work for a whole week until the side affect were gone."


"I wanted to write this review because I see others really struggling with Minastrin at first and I want to tell you - take heart! I'm in my second month on this pill, and the first was rough. I had mood swings, bloating and bleeding every day for a month. I felt miserable and was convinced I would stop taking this. However, took the very first pill of my second pack and every single symptom disappeared overnight. I don't have a single issue anymore and the bleeding stopped. Not even experiencing spotting. I know every body is different so I'm not saying this will work for you as well, but in my case, sticking it out that first month was so important. I'm really glad I stayed with it, and I hope you give it a chance too."


"I've been on it from 2 months for my anxiety and its working pretty fine but I've decreased libido and low sexual drive and its concerning for a young guy to have this sort of side effects. I am gonna consult my doctor about this"


"Had a major pinched nerve and massive back pain. This worked great."


"Not a fan after finding out the active ingredients are the same as the diabetic medication, liraglutide. After 1 week of injections, experienced extreme bloating.  Discontinued after 6 injections."


"I just tried this medication for the first time and I think it is great. "


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Serious allergy developed."


"I've been taking phentermine for 3 days now. The 1st day I had severe dry mouth, but other than that everything else is normal. I don't feel like it gives me the boost of energy or takes away my appetite. I'm hungry now! 24 yrs old Weight 238 Hopefully it works."


"I have always had excessive sweating and body odour because of that and always been looking for medication for this. Tried so many Deodorants include Mitchum and they did not seem to work at all. I put this on for 2 nights continously and I was surprised at the results! It really works! Although it may seem a little expensive but it's worth the price."


"I have been on a lot of them and I'm now on 300 mg Seroquel it is the best , I have not gained weight but I exercise I take it at night. I don't see things, I feel things touching me but I still have one voice and not 4 in my head ."


"Started in March at 202lbs now in mid May I'm at 177lbs. I do eat 3 meals a day - low calorie but I make myself eat. Drink nothing but water even when dinning out and exercise at least 2-3 hours a day. I'm trying to stop the pills I now take one every other day. It's good to also keep a food journal."


"All the side effects"


"200 mg three times a day has been the only medication that help with facial and jaw pain. For me it's miraculous."


"Love this. I was first prescribed 27 mg and seen no changes but with the 54 it is perfect. I am able to focus and do things and not get irritated with background noise."


"Just got on it - so far so good."


"After being off BC for 8 years I finally had to get back on,  Ive been on this BC for 2 months, no problems so far. I use to get severe cramps but since taking Lutera its been all better. No weight gain, no mood swings or no loss of sleep either. My skin has cleared up a bit as well, I used to break out before my time off the month and now i dont. So far so good, everybody is different, what might not work for me, wont work for others."


"Have been on 300mg for over 6 months with 0 improvement, I've actually gotten worse as things have progressed substantially for the worse. I can't take lithium due to being naturally dehydrated all the time. I was told this drug was gonna change my life, it just wasted my damn time."


"Was switched to this and had no problems at first. Then after a few months, started having break through bleeding between periods. Went back to the doctor and he determined that there were not enough hormones in this birth control pill for me. This pill has a very low dose of hormones. I suppose if I could not find something better, then I would go back to this."


"I am a 53 year old woman who started smoking when I was 9, by 13 I was up to 2 packs a day, I smoked 2 packs a day for 40 yrs. Every woman in my family died from emphysema.  My mother was 59, my Aunt 69, my Grandmother ?. I have been wanting to quit for over 20 yrs.  I've tried hypnosis, smoking camps, Smoker's Anonymous, pills, patches, anything.  Nothing worked.  A friend told me she had gotten Chantix and it gave her weird dreams so she stopped taking it.  I said I like weird dreams, can I have what's left over. (I know this is not the right the way to get it)  she gave it to me, with instructions. On the 6th day I woke up (you can smoke for the 1st 7 days) and didn't even think about a cigarette, NO CRAVING WHATSOEVER!"


"Have been on 30mgs Cymbalta for about 3 months to treat major depression and fibromyalgia. Have previously taken just about every antidepressant on the market with no real difference to my mood. Have tried to come off antidepressants but without success. My experience with Cymbalta is it has been highly effective in treating joint and back pain but the side effects I am experiencing are so bad that I am seeing my GP today to request help in switching to something else. Side effects include:
sweats for the first few weeks, nausea for the first few weeks, increased energy levels, headaches/migraines on waking, dry skin, dry eyes and sharp pain in eyes, itchy palms and feet, constant phantom smell of strong, cloying perfume, severe constipation."


"I have been using the patch for just under 6 months now and I love it! I like it SO much more than the pill. Easier to remember and I just feel so much more protected. Something that I found interesting was I tried 3 different pills and had bad side effects with all of them. I haven't had one single issue since I've switched to the patch. I highly recommend!!!!"


"After my period was over, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, he never finished inside of me, and within 20 hours took the pill as a safety measure . A few days later (4/5 days) I got my period again or irregular vaginal bleeding, what ever it was.  I don't know if that was suppose to be my period or what not, I'm still waiting anxiously for my period because I'm pretty sure that slip period/irregular vaginal bleeding messed it up so it could come in another week - but it is worry some, I don't want to be pregnant. 17 is not old enough to be a mother"


"I have been on the implant nexplanon since June 2014. After a year and a couple months I am now going to get it removed. I loved it at first no periods, and mood swings were under control. Now I hate it. I've had a period of constant bleeding for two months, my mood swings are horrible I feel so bad for my boyfriend. But I am going to get it removed next month."
