"I have been smoke free for a little over a year. I used Chantix and experienced some side effects. I kind of manipulated my use of it and would take it every other day... that helped some. Once I had been without a cigarette for an entire week, I quit Chantix. The medicine really works and being smoke free is well worth the temporary side effects."


"I go right to sleep upon getting in bed about 11:00 PM but without any sleep aid I usually awake around 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM.  For the past five years I usually take a half of a 25mg doxylamine succinate tablet before going to bed and that keeps me asleep until shortly before the 6:00 AM alarm goes off.  No side effects.  Solid sleep.  Worth its weight in gold!"


"I am about 65 pounds overweight and decided to ask my doctor for a diet supplement to assist with weight loss. Because of the medications that I was already taking, Contrave seemed like the best weight loss supplement for me. The first week of taking this medication I lost 4 pounds and was very excited. However, my excitement was short lived. I did not lose any more weight during the entire two and a half months that I was taking this drug. I exercised, modified my diet, ate smaller portions and nothing seemed to help. The only thing I did get from taking Contrave was a bad case of dry mouth."


"I cannot get the bottle open, and I'm a spry 38 year old. I will be buying Visine from now on. What a waste of money!"


"Have been on this medication for about 5 months. This medication has been completely ineffective for me. My depression and anxiety are no better. At first I felt more depressed and have had several major depression episodes since beginning this medicine. At least I have had no side effects."


"My panic lasted all day, it came on after 2 months of being unemployed for the 1st time in my life. I could not function, I was always thinking negative, scared, hot and cold flashes and could eat. Just over 2 years ago I went through bankruptcy and lost just about everything my wife and I worked for all are life including our home. I was put in the hospitals mental ward for 17 days, no medicines worked. As a last resort I under went electroconvulsive therapy and it worked. This time as mentioned I was given Xanax and within 20 minutes I was back to normal after almost a month of feeling worthless. This medicine has saved my life and now I can function again. I take a half mg in the morning and another half mg around evening."


"Very drowsy during the daytime. Not sure if my antidepressant needs to be changed, but it is still too early to judge how well Clozaril is working. I'd rather not have to draw my blood every week, because there is a lot I could be doing like going overseas with friends and relatives. By the way, does anyone experience bedwetting in the morning?"


"After reading a lot of bad reviews I was hesitant to use macrobid as a treatment for a pretty severe bladder infection. However, I didn't experience many of the side effects that I read about. Although it did make me rather fatigued, I made sure to drink lots of water and took my pills with a nice healthy meal! I also took my 100mg pills twice a day at the exact same time as to get my body on a routine. Almost 3 days off of it and feeling back to 100%! Would have no problem using this antibiotic again!"


"My GP prescribed it for my 5 year  old daughter to prevent further attacks of asthma with the hope to reduce or stop Fluticasone inhaler as she takes high doses of it, but thanks to heaven we have fluticasone. Just few days after Montelukast she became a totally different person with episodes of agitation, rolling in bed for 1 to 2 hours before sleeping, aggressive episodes hitting her littlle brother which she has never had done before this medicine, waking at least 3 times in the middle of night shouting at me to come and be with her because she is afraid and she told me that she feels unhappy with tearful eyes and she doesn't know why.
I had to stop it just after two weeks and she started to return to her normality"


"I find that I sweat a lot when taking this birth control as well as facial hair. Lately I have noticed that I have been getting blemishes on my face. Will be discussing this with the doctor."


"Very healthy 50 year old white male. Developed severe rash on right inside thigh. Doctor immediately suggested to stop taking Lipitor, which I did. FUNNY, Crestor produced same rash in same place. Doctor was amazed."


"I was on fentanyl for 9 1/2 years and four months ago I decided I wanted off . Initially it did wonders since I had been forced to work with a work injury. After about eight years I started feeling withdrawal symptoms before my three days was up on each patch. I wanted to cut my time down due to the withdrawal not pain. When I decided to wean off it was one of the worse times of my life but now that I only have a few more days of withdrawal after getting down to no patch it is one of the best times of my life. The first step down I started sleeping better. The next I had more energy. And now I even have less pain than when I was on the patch. If you can make it with other pain management please do it. Withdrawal is not fun!!"


"I had tried everything.  Other drugs affected my sex life, made me gain weight, made me slow.  Viibryd has been a life saver.  The only thing that bothers me is that there won't be a generic for 3-5 years and without an HMO or Healthcare plan it is about $270 a month.  I am lucky to have been employed continuously the time I have been on it.  A tip - ask your doctor for sample packs and hoard them. A second tip - always google for coupons on any prescription.  Viibryd has some "first year" discounts"


"I am 20 years old and have never had a child. I was on the pill for a year, and spotted the whole time. I finally convinced my OBGYN to get prescribe an IUD, and although my uterus was "too small" for a Paraguard, I took the Skyla. The insertion hurt ALOT, and this probably has to do with my introverted uterus (something like that) which the doctor had to pinch down with a clamp. That being said, the 2 minutes of pain was definitely worth the gain! I have had it for about 2.5 months, and each period has been lighter than the last. I did cramp for about a week after getting it, but it wasn't anything horrible, just slight discomfort.  I am now worry free every night and don't have to keep checking the time to make sure I take my pill."


"I was given Versed as a sedation for 3 colonoscopies. It is great. After the procedure I have no grogginess and it is fast acting and doesn't linger throughout the day. My last procedure I was given propofol. It was terrible. I was sick for 2 days. I will definitely have Versed used here on out as long as its available."


"My 5 year old son experienced terrible nightmares every single night he used this. It was to the point where he was afraid to go to sleep so I would have to stay up with him. Once we stopped the Singulair his nightmares stopped. Never again will my son be taking this medication."


"I was so happy to find a site that allowed  me to understand the "brain zaps", headaches, nausea and light sensativity I was getting. I thought it was some kind of migraine or a brain tumor. I have been on 175 MG for some years and my anger and depression  are improved greatly but like some others if I  am even a few hours  late with my pill the side effects  start . I know I need to wean off but am scared to death of the withdrawal."


"I have been on Errin for about a year now. I chose it because I had just had a baby and wanted to be able to breastfeed. I've had a great experience with it. No moodiness or weight gain. I've been on other birth control pills that were combo ones and those I could tell changed me emotionally but I haven't had a problem with this one. I can't relate to others who have mentioned having a period for 3 weeks straight because my period didn't come back for about 9 months after having my son. But now I seem to have a period every other month and it's only about 3-4 days max and not too heavy. I would recommend it to anyone especially if you are sensitive to meds or just had a baby and want to nurse."


"I had Necritizing fasciitis  before it was even being diagnosed, late 1990-early 1991. After two weeks of fighting it at home (yes, I know, but nurses are incredibly resistant to being hospitalized), I finally went to the ER. They admitted me, of course, and threw every antibiotic they had at it without any improvement. From the first day, they insisted I had burned the leg and I insisted that I had NOT burned it. After two weeks of multiple IV antibiotics with little if any response, one of the docs walked into the room and said that even though I insisted I had not burned it, he was going to treat it like a burn and that he was ordering silvadene. Four days later my leg had improved enough to go home."


"Just took my fourth dose of Dupixent. Haven't seen much improvement at all and am very disappointed."


"It works wonders. Xanax has made my life so much easier. I am on 2mg 3x a day and I feel like I'm happier and more out going. I don't know what I would do without it ...I give it** 5 *stars**."


"The only good thing I can say about this pill is that I haven't gotten pregnant on it. My acne has gotten three times worse. Off the pill, I usually got one or two cysts around the time of my period, which was annoying but manageable. Ever since taking Sronyx, I get one or two new cysts almost daily. My mood swings are insane. My period comes at the same time every month, which I would thank Sronyx for if it didn't make me start bleeding two weeks before my period every month (so I essentially have been bleeding for two and a half weeks every month on this pill). I've heard that breakthrough bleeding can be common within the first three cycles of starting a new pill...if it continues after this cycle (my fourth) I'll definitely switch BC."


"I started this medication 5 days ago. I get so hot burning hot and very sweaty.  My anxiety level has increased bringing me to the ER  twice in one week. My appetite has increased.  However,  I  am a lot happier everything is so clear , everyone notices the difference in me. I have become confident AGAIN the first time in 15 years... I hate to discontinue ....."


"I have been using Implanon (Nexplanon's original brand name) since 2003 when I turned 37 (am now 50), renewing it every three years until it became Nexplanon. I can report a 100% positive experience all these years, and I intend to continue until I finally menopause. My weight has never fluctuated; periods very seldom - maybe four times a year and very light; maintained my clear skin."


"Had this for 7 months and just got it removed.  Didn't have a period on it the whole time, which was awesome.  However, I gained about 8 lbs while I was on it, and tried to lose the weight that I gained and could only do so by pretty much starving myself and exercising over an hour every day, and even then I only dropped about 4 lbs.  Considering I only had this 7 months, I'd hate to see how much weight I would've gained if I stayed on it any longer."


"It's a great medicine no side effects so far keeping my mood under control along with carbamazepine ER."


"I'm a 45 year old extremely fit women who eats extremely healthy BUT has suffered with IBS-C for 25  years. I used to take Bentyl when I would have IBS attacks, but I kept needing more and more which would continue to constipate me.  Welcome Linzess!  After getting the dosing and timing right, it's been a LIFESAVER!  I take the lower dose before bed and have 4-5 loose BM's in the morning which cleans out my system.  I have not had a single IBS attack in MONTHS since I started Linzess.  Yes, it's a pain in the bottom, but I'd rather have 4-5 loose stools in the morning than live with constant constipation.  The days I don't take it at night, I don't go to the bathroom in the morning. Relief...finally!"


"I'm an adult with ADD. Vyvanse changed my life. I'm on 70mg. My only problem is that I wish it would last about 3-4 hours longer."


"I use tramadol for fibromyalgia pain and it works really good and have no side effects from it. It is good because I am allergic to so many medicines! I use this with Pristiq and it works wonderful!"


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


"I tried to tell the  anesthesiologist that I have sleep spends, use oxygen @ nite, have 3 included. Major veins and am very sensitive to drugs. He wouldn't listen.  Put me immediately out and my oxygen blood level went down to 51. Had I stayed at that level for 5 minutes I would have died.  The hospital changed the grrecords. I was conguiding. gasping for air. eye Dr said I Jerked side to side violently.
Lucky it was at a time in procedure that it didn't matter.  Anes searched the sheets/ blankets for the meter and told eye Dr it had come off my finger."


"After suffering from a severe back injury, I found that this medication used in conjunction with an anti-inflammatory type drug (Naproxen) was more effective than large doses of Lortab. Pain is significantly reduced without the side-effects of other pain medications. Other than not hurting as much, I can't tell I'm taking it! This is a big improvement!"


"Meh. In the past, I'd very occasionally taken valium and mostly klonopin for panic attacks and night terrors. My prescriber switched me due to the addictive nature of benzos, as well as their tendency to increase the likelihood of age-related cognitive impairments like Alzheimer's and dementia. I'm not thrilled with the results. I take 25mg of hydroxyzine maybe a few times a month. Where the klonopin had a very clear and palpable effect in reducing my anxiety, I still question whether the new medication is doing anything at all. Man, it's  2017--you'd think by now they could make a non-addictive drug that can alleviate anxiety effectively without making you senile! Am I asking too much?"


"RX calls for me to take 600 mg twice a day. This dosage makes me drowsy + I feel like a zombie after taking it. I have cut down to 1/2 tab (300 mg) in the am & 600 mg at bedtime. I can't really tell that this med makes much difference with my nerve pain..."


"I just read what the medicine was designed for.  Surprised.  I have used Eurax G for the past 20 years.  I obtained two tubes of it while in Japan.  I have found that it promotes healing of cuts, scratches, and other minor injuries faster than any other medicine I have tried.  I have also used it effectively for small areas of poison ivy/sumac as well as other minor skin irritations.  I do not have scabies nor ever had scabies.

Maybe my experience applies only to me.  But I can attest to it's effectiveness for ME.  I must emphasize however that it is for Eurax "G".  There are other letter categories for Eurax, but "G" works for me for the conditions I mentioned."


"It seems to calm me but I am also an avid yoga participant so not always sure which is helping more."


"Cymbalta  changed me from someone struggling with pain every day to a productive and happy person with some aches and pain.  It has made such a big difference in my life!"


"I have had three surgeries for stress and urgency incontinence and I kept a diary as to how many times I had to go to the bathroom per 24 hour period  as my Mayo Doctor requested.  14 plus times per day !  I started on Detrol and had depression symptoms so I was switched to Vesicare.  100% better !  I would recommend this to anyone.  I feel like I have my life back."


"I just had my 2nd infusion and I feel so much better. I can do my everyday chores around the house without pain and fatigue. I feel like I am getting more oxygen, I know that sounds crazy but it is true. I can breath better.No stiffness in the mornings. I walk like a normal person again. My hair is falling out more that normal, I don't know if its the simponi , methatrate, or plaquenil. Going to call my doctor about my hair.I am on the drug company's assistance plan. I pay $ 5.00 for the simponi and $55.00 to the infusion center. ( thank god!) Simponi infusion costs $6500.00 with out insurance for 1 infusion. (August 2016, USA) I am 53, I feel better now than I have in 6 years. I have RA. Hope this helps someone decide to try simponi aire."


"1 Pill - rash on hands, arms, back, face and lips, discontinued use."


"In 2009 I had first paroxysmal Af within a week another episode....was put on sotalol 40 mg twice daily...now I am 37 and after 5 years of continuing sotalol I never had an episode...I workout for almost 2 hours weight training days weekly and this drug even worked as a SOS in times I felt that I am about to have AF...still continuing sotalol thank you"


"I got a dental abscess and I'm taking my clarithromycin and still my cheeks are huge like a golf ball in my mouth and I'm getting worried."


"I have had Mirena since December. Initially there was some discomfort for the first week or so but since then I haven't noticed it once. My boyfriend has felt the string a couple times but nothing major. 95% of the time we have sex he doesn't notice it and neither do I. What I like best about it, besides not having to take the pill everyday, is that I only have my period every other month if that. I definitely would recommend it if you hate taking the pill and aren't thinking about having kids anytime soon. Luckily my Mirena was free through the local health center. Definitely worth it!"


"I have had chronic hives for the past 8 months and originally took Zyrtec which worked OK for a while but then stopped working.  I switched to Allegra which I have been taking for about 3-4 months now and it has been working."


"20 years old. Started at 180lbs. Starting taking this with exercise and eating right (I don't go to the gym). Have lost a little over 20 lbs in a month. If you eat right and take this product it will do wonders for you. Want to be about 125lbs my old healthy weight. I will reach there and want to reach that before July 3rd."


"I've just been on 60mg for 4 weeks and the improvement has been great.  My anxiety is all but gone..and I can't tell you how good it feels not to worry about every single thing i life.  I enjoy things more and can focus longer as a result, absorbing things better, instead of just randomly seeing everything.  I was a bit nauseous to start and tired, but its all but gone as well.  I've also lost 2 pounds..Very happy so far!"


"I have been on Nexplanon for the past two years. When I first got the implant, everything was going great until a month into it. My mood changed drastically due to the hormones and I wanted it out as soon as possible. I was told to wait a few months to get used to it so I abided by this. 4-6 months in, I started getting horrible acne, and I am now on two different prescriptions to (hopefully) get rid of it. The acne won't go away and my dermatologist said it won't until I get the implant taken out. Fast forward to today, I have been continuously bleeding for three weeks, going on four, (have never bled on Nexplanon before) and can't take it any longer. Nexplanon was great, up until now and the other side effects."


"I am almost 18 and I started taking this two months and a week ago. The first month was terrible. I had a period that lasted over two weeks (quite heavy), and the second month was almost as bad. The worst thing that is happening to me is that I am having hair loss. My once long thick hair is becoming thin and I can see my scalp in lots of places. I've read it is normal for the first 3-4 months, but I have also read that in some cases it didn't go away and going off the pill can worsen it. I have no idea what to do."


"Got 500mg of Keflex prescribed to me for alleged infected spider bites. Day one I felt ok, had to go to the bathroom a lot but otherwise my stomach wasn't too bad. By Night two I was on the verge of going to the ER. My stomach felt like it was eating itself, my BP/pulse through the roof, every muscle in my body was spasming and I was in full freak out mode. Stopped taking it after that. It's been four days since I took it and I'm still sick. Dizzy, can't eat, feel crappy and weak. Doc said the antibiotics made me sick and that I had to be on the BRAT  diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) for a week. FUN!"


"Beyond grateful for this.  Since about 19 years old I've always become horribly depressed in the fall and winter.  Work performance? Down the toilet.  Relationships?  Down the toilet.

Taking this with regular therapy & anti anxiety Rx ( have anxiety too....what fun).  It works FANTASTIC.

Work performance is so much better as well my relationships with other people"


"Hi, I've been on Effexor for 2 weeks now.

I feel a lot less anxious and generally happier.

I've noticed some side effects, which I was expecting. So I thought I'd share my experience.

Sweaty hands, blurred vision, nightmares, stomach ache / head ache, loss of appetite, weight loss, trouble sleeping, major increase of the the effects of alcohol. Those are just some of them."


"I was a heroin addict for four years. I went through inpatient rehab twice and outpatient once. My family was at the end of their rope. In a final "Hail Mary," my parents decided to give Vivitrol a try (in conjunction with group and individual therapy sessions). I have been clean from all opiates for 18 months now. The turn around I've made in my life is remarkable. Medication used to treat addiction is tricky, because it will not work unless the patient truly wants to get clean. Nothing will stop an addict who wants to use from using. The only side effects I've experienced have been mild sleep disruption, but I am glad to be awake and sober rather than sound asleep and an addict."


"Trinessa was an awful experience for me. I wasn't on it very long until I started having bad side effects. I had vaginal itching, mood swings, depression and increase in acne. After experiencing depression I soon quit taking it and my period started. Trinessa had also caused my period symptoms to be much worse."


"Have had chronic pain since I was 14 (now 60). Have tried every RX suggested, multiple pain clinics, too many surgeries to count, exercise, meditation, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, with nothing gained but side effects or increasing tolerance. I have been taking Oxycontin for 10 yrs and have since been able to put the pain on a back burner and get back to my life. The 'pendulum swings' as they say, continued back & forth medical opinions on treatment of chronic pain. The insurance companies now seem to be in complete control again and cost becomes the number one consideration in prescribed treatment. Matters not what my Dr. says or recommends, the cost is such that as of this month I can no longer take Oxycontin. I am so tired, back to bed I go"


"I have been a Crohn's sufferer since I was 18, I'm now 47. I have had two bowel resections, multiple blockages and bowel symptoms that left me house bound for days at a time. I have been on Prednisone so much that I have maxed out the lifetime exposure limit, have tried Methotrexate (nausea+++), Pentasa (no change) and Remicade (serum reaction). I have been on Humira now for over 8 years and aside from a few minor flare-ups, I have a life back. Bless all of the programs and benefit companies that have recognized that this medication has restored some people to being productive once again."


"It helps me a a lot. I can move around more now. The only time I can't move is when it's raining. But other than that it helps my fibromyalgia greatly."


"I took this for a total of three weeks. WORST PILL EVER. In that time period, I gained 10 pounds, was bloated all the time, and had the worst stomach pains and headaches. I have never been hungrier than I was when I took this, except every time I eat my stomach puffed up and became hard to the point where it was uncomfortable even to lay down. During the time, I think I actually was depressed from the weight gain and pain. When I finally got my period, I was in so much pain that I laid in bed for two whole days and felt nauseous with sharp cramps and couldn't even move to turn in bed. I also lost 10 times more blood than ever before on my period. Overall, I have never felt sicker while taking this pill."


"I do not like this medicine I have gained a lot of weight, runny nose, tired all the time and very bad and crazy dreams."


"I have always been on a diet and on regular exercise (about 2 hours a day). I stopped dieting for 5 months (precisely the first 5 months I had the implant), and I gained 12 pounds in that time even with the constant physical activity. Even now that I have started dieting again it seems impossible to lose the pounds I gained and even more the fat in the abdominal zone. I have tried hypocaloric diets, cardio workouts and still I can't get rid of them.
Not to mention the devilish mood swings and headaches.

Of course it works as a contraceptive but agh, WEIGHT GAIN."


"A real savior. Finally getting some sleep. Went off for a month to see if I could sleep without it. The answer was no but no other withdrawal symptoms. Be sure to give yourself 8 hours and nix the alcohol."


"I'm 18 year old, I have had the implanon for almost 3 years now and it's has been great period wise. For the first 5 months I had a regular period each month with it lasting a week and a half "


"I have been taking Lexapro for two years. I had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was in and out of the hospital for several months. Depression and anxiety were severe for me. I was impatient, over reacting over every little thing, nervous to be around others and would cry for no reason. I take lexapro 20mg once a day and feel great now. The side effect I had was sleepiness, but after a couple weeks it went away. I am more happy with my life now."


"Was told to take for 14 days for a kidney infection, took for 7 and infection cleared. Doc said to keep taking then but they made my heart beat fast around day 11 so I've stopped"


"Zofran got me to feel a lot better with my pregnancy hyper-emesis. "


"Hot flashes and chills. Stomach became larger and weight gain. Hot flashes are very annoying. Fainted and doctor said it probably was due to dehydration."


"I have been plagued with cold sores my entire life and this is the only topical cream that works at all. My doctor also prescribed me Valtrex and when I pair the two my cold sore disappears within hours."


"28 yrs old

I couldn't take it

I was tired all the time"


"I have been to several internists, three pulmonary docs and still have a chronic cough.  Other than perhaps an asthmatic condition so far no specific diagnosis.  Nobody could stop the cough.  I tried virtually everything until I came to my latest internist who said he could stop the cough and he did.  He prescribed Tussionex Pennkinetic.  Unlike most of the other comments I don't feel loopy, I feel normal as can be except I can't sleep.  So with a bit of an Ambian I sleep, I don't cough much any more and feel great.  I take two teaspoons daily each and every day or I am in trouble.  I have done this now for about three years and the end results have kept me off Prednisone and able to live a normal healthy active life. Hurray for this medicine!"


"I am 24
I was experiencing chronic anxiety ، severe muscle tension، fatigue and problem in concentration for about more than year. I did not know exactly the reason for these symptoms.  At first I thought it could be a physical problem in my body. but after some medical tests my doctors suggested me to visit a psychiatric doctor.
So my p doctor recognized my problem as General anxiety disorder and prescribed me cybmalta.
first week only one 30 mg
from second week، two 30 mg per day.
after 2 weeks، it started to work .
after 5week ، excellent...I was almost the man who I was  before anxiety!!!but after a while its performance a little decreased for 2 month. again after the third month ، again it started to getting better slowly.
after 6 month، I am really calm"


"This medication has been extremely helpful to me. 7 months ago, I developed IBS, which made me very nervous about my stomach. I slowly became nervous about everything, not knowing that my anxiety was more than just " little worries." I was afraid to go to important events, thinking something bad could suddenly happen to me all the time. My mother was noticing these changes in my personality, so then made me go to a therapist. That was when I was suggested to be put on Paxil. I was afraid to take Paxil, but when I was finally forced to, I noticed changes within a week with just 5mg. I moved up to 10mg, and everyone could see changes in how I acted everywhere. I am currently still on 10mg, but even a little can do a lot, even for you!"


"My boyfriend is taking this for alcohol withdrawal. It works wonders for the withdrawal symptoms, but makes him a zombie.  He is confused, unsteady on his feet and dizzy.  He's been alcohol free for 3 days now and after tomorrow, I am going to take the pills away.  Just my opinion."


"First I would like to say that I really wanted this to work for me. Unfortunately I am one of the rare ones that experienced the uncommon side effects such as: No sex drive at all, and to be honest I am sexually frustrated and no matter what we do nothing will get me excited. The other was I broke out so bad with this and my skin was so sensitive than usual, and the last. I was growing hair around my chin to the point where I was thinking I have to shave, no way, sorry I will not shave for this. I am going back on to the pill. The positive thing about this is that I rarely had my periods (only spotting for 2 days) and didn't have to buy pads/tampons, which coming to this decision was very, very hard for me."


"Has not lowered my cholesterol level and am taking it along with Tricor."


"This has been a life-saver for me. It allows me to breathe through my nose like a normal human. If I stop using it for a week, my nasal passages feel like they swell shut and I can't breathe through my nose. I am absolutely miserable when I run out of fluticasone."


"I had severe tardive dyskinesia due to this medication within a few doses of taking it."


"My boyfriend started this medication for better seizure control.  He has had personality changes, confusion, aggression,  hostility,  delusions,  depression and severe thought problems that caused him to have antipsychotic and antidepressant medication increased because of existing bipolar disorder. Our relationship is about over because of this medication. We will see the neurologist asap to see if he can get off this medicine. Scared because it's addictive.  He had similar reactions to Vimpat with suicidal thoughts."


"I am 52 and started to have erection problems. I would loose my erection before we could finish. I took 10 mg a few hours before sex and let me just say that I was very hard for my wife. We had sex 3 times last night and she and I were so happy with the results. I feel like I'm 20 again. I look forward to pleasing my wife over and over. Refractory was a quick turn as well."


"My blood pressure went up to 220/150 and I was placed on Norvasc 10mg and Diovan 80mg. Been on this for over a year now and my blood pressure is currently 120/80 and I have had no side effects other than swelling on the lower leg which steady brisk walking has handled. The combination worked very well for me."


"I have really good experience with Nexpalnon.
After insertion my arm was sore about a week, after that I could go back to my gym and daily routine.
It doesn't bother me at all. No migraines, no gain weight, no skin problems.
My mood is the same maybe even better, I'm not that moody like before.
I was some irregular bleeding about a month but it was very little. After a month I don't have period (hallelujah) and no bleeding at all.
Only disadvantage I found is my libido. I noticed my sex drive changed quite significantly.
I really recommend it !"


"I have been taking ambien/zolpidem for several years now and have always had great sleep. But, since my pharmacy has taken to using the Mylan generic all that has changed.  It has caused night time binging, relentless picking at sores in sleep, hours awake in the middle of the night.  I'd been taking 10mg but with this generic I find I often need to take another 5mg to sleep.  My sleep has been disruptive almost every night.  I used to think ambien/zolpidem was the greatest help.   Now I've asked my doctor for a different sleep aid."


"I've been on prozac for a few years now. I stopped taking it in mid December just restarted today anxiety and stress are tuff to deal with let alone with out this medicine."


"I have done the once a day application for five days straight on the Acthar gel, followed a week later by another five day dose. Stings like all get up going in, kind of reminds me of peanut butter shots. Felt much better after the first treatment, again after the second. After a month or so later, MS symptons were back. I have had a headache beyond the pain of migraines (I get those too) and I get medicines for it, but I can't take that unless someone can watch my kids as most of them make me so sleepy. Tried Provigil...got hallucinations...about to start Nuvigil, hope that works a bit better. I take Betaseron. Starting pulse therapy - first three days of month take Acthar keeping all the rest of the medicines the same."


"Wow! These comments are sooo funny. I am severely constipated few times a month. I can only go a little bit everyday and its rock hard and dry. I drank 1/2 a bottle of the lemon (sour but yummy) and followed with 2 big glasses of water. I feel a little nauseated but nothing too bad. Its 11:15pm so hopefully have some relief before I sleep tonight...or I may wake up a messy situation, lol."


"my  son  just  started  keppra  and  has  not  had  seiruze  in  about  a  week.  It  really  works  fast."


"I had this for 3 months and bled non stop. It completely screwed up my hormones. I felt insane and couldn't control my moods. I had horrible cramping, headaches and bled for 3 entire months, nonstop. When I finally decided to have this removed, it took 1 and a half hours and my doctor had to cut my arm twice to find it since it had migrated. Horrible, horrible experience. I would never get anything like this again. :("


"I LOVE Celebrex!  I have degenerative disk disease, bulged disk and degenerative hips.  My doctor had me try it after learning how I can tolerate 6 ibupropen a day.  I have been 85% better as far as the daily pain.  I can do things in exercise that I could not before, due to the pain.  I take homeopathic anti inflammatory supplements as well.  I am a 43 year old photographer, pilates student and teacher living in pain for over 6 years.  So wonderful to have this relief."


"Got it put in in 2015 and no side effects or issues ! I have a clotting disorder that doesn't allow me to have any type of hormone birth control ."


"Pros: ease of use, decreased acne, reduced headaches which was wonderful.

Cons: 15 lbs weight gain in 6 months, unprecedented! Reduced sex drive and slight depression. Discharge and yeast infection for first 2 months, terrible breakthrough bleeding."


"Took this for a urinary tract infection and I've had them before, taken other medicines.  This appealed to me because it was a three day deal. Started my first dose Thurs evening and everything was going pretty smooth.  I ended up having to leave work after two hrs on Monday morning  because My body was shaking uncontrollably (more hands than anything).  I was nauseous, which I pretty much felt everyday but more so the last.  And almost like my head was spinning, like I was going to faint. The shaking was the worst though."


"I suffer from severe depression and anxiety brought on by cancer and anti - hormone drugs. This drug helps me with the panic attacks and anxiety I tend to get almost daily.  When I take this medication my attacks are less severe."


"Its funny to read how many get "burned and dry/ flaky skin".

The first thing my doctor told me was, EASE into it! use a VERY light layer and ONLY at night - not in the morning as well. A pea sized amount is enough. Put it on your finger and dot it around your face and then massage them out. He also told me that if it starts to burn/hurt, STOP using it for a few days.

You should NEVER EVER keep using it when your face is in pain, obviously.

Plus you need a very good, heavy moisturiser. This stuff is made from peroxide and retinoid, so it will sting a little the first times you use it, but if you use common sense it will go away within weeks. I feel bad that people use it the wrong way and then blame the product. Works great for me"


"Had propofol and versed for my upper/lower endoscopy. LOVE it. I don't remember anything, and had no side effects. I wasn't even groggy! My husband took me shopping right after the procedure."


"I was on Cymbalta for 2 months to treat depression and migraines after a car accident. It gave me violent dreams, a swollen tongue and suicidal daily thoughts. It helped with brain fog and pain but the symptoms were not worth it."


"I was given this medicine in hospital to help with pain/nerve damage after a ruptured disc. BEWARE it made me suicidal! I am a normal, healthy person but after a week or so on this, I started sobbing almost all the time and was in total despair. Fortunately, my husband worked out what the stimulus was and I was told to stop taking the medicine immediately. This was recommended as the withdrawal effects would be better than carrying on with it and weaning off. It took a couple of weeks but I could only have close friends around who understood that at any moment, a wave of crying would over take me but wouldn't last."


"I have been on Suboxone for just over 2 months and it has changed my life. I no longer depend on the pain pills or go through the withdrawals when I couldn't get them. I would tell anyone who wants help to get on Suboxone because it really helps. The only problem is the taste."


"I found that in high stress situations, I still had some degree of anxiety (sweaty palms, holding my breath without realizing it, some shaking, etc) but overall my ability to handle anxiety evened out.  I was a lot less stressed and found decision making, dealing with my children, and talking in front of people to be much more manageable.  I was able to sleep better without waking up several times in a panic wondering what I had forgotten to do.  I stopped worrying about things.  This drug changed my life with a moderately low dose and with little to no side effects."


"I have been suffering from PCOS since I was 12, though I was not properly diagnosed until I was 25. I have been on and off Metformin from the age of 25 til now. I suffer from no periods, weight gain, anxiety, depression, unwanted hair, thinning hair, etc. I started back on Metformin May 2015. I was put on Extended Release this time, and I have not suffered from any of the known side effects. Which such a great thing. I am currently on 1000mg a day. I have lost a few pounds but I went about 2 months of not being on the medicine because of other unrelated illnesses. I have had a regular period every month since being on the Metformin!"


"I hate it, I've gained almost 30 pounds with it and counting! I've had it since October and hope to get it removed next month."


"I've been on this medicine for about 7 months. I started at 5 mg and I felt great! But around the 4 months I got worse and ended up increasing my dose to 30 mg and now I feel even more better then before! The only side effect I experienced was a slight brain zaps but they go away after a week or two. This medicine has helped me so much I recommend this medcine!"


"Having been a big boned guy all my life was fine when I was more active. Now I am 31, 44lbs overweight and wish I was much taller. Went on Belviq three months ago and just now starting exercise. Joints feeling better, beeter blood pressure and cholesterol better. It works fine 25 pounds down 25lbs to go. My doctor won't tell me if everyone gets these results but he just smiles and so do I. Now I look better on my wife's arm."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"My white count was 1.3 and the Neulasta injection raised it

in one week to 13. Range is 3.5-11.  It didn't seem to affect

my other counts. I feel bloated. Not sure if it is a side affect.

I have a myeloid leukemia called APL. I still don't have

any energy."


"I have had fatigue, headache, insomnia, and the nausea. It is still much better than the interferon, and riba  meds. My dr had hoped it would work, and am now hep c free. His words, the only thing I am trying to do is to keep your liver from having cancer. He prescribed 6 months of Harvoni. My liver is eat up with cirrhosis, and will always have trouble with that. That will never go away, but now I at least have a fighting chance of it not getting any worse."


"I went on this birth control to clear up my moderate acne. After just completing the fourth month of this pill, my skin is completely clear. The first couple of months I didn't really see any changes, but around the third month I saw slow progress. Other side effects I've experienced is weight loss, loss of appetite, and manageable nausea that has recently gotten better, but still occurs on a daily basis. I don't have any mood swings that I've experienced with other birth control. Super happy with the results!!"


"I have use the facial wash 1 time a day for over 10 years and it has done a great job . Occasionally I get 1 or 2 cysts which I care for with Finacea cream and I have kept my Rosacea in  check ."


"I took this tablets back in the late 80's/early 90's. They were very addictive and I was put on a higher dose.  The establishment I acquired them from was a 'diet' clinic in North East Surrey.  I would politely call them quacks.

They had NO regard for my actual weight - I was in fact 8st 4lbs .  Frankly, had I have been 6st I'm sure I would still have gotten them.

Did they work? Yes, without question. I went 2 solid days without eating a single thing. My only intake was cups of tea.  The downside was chronic insomnia which last long after the tablets ceased.

I believe these tablets were at the root of the onset of my life long problem with IBS.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.  Plan meals, eat sensibly and exercise - you will lose weight."


"I've been on this medication a week so far. It's my second birth control ever. Hadn't been on birth control for about 5 years until my OBGYN gave me some sample packs of this. Honestly, after reading other reviews I was fairly scared to even try it. I will say, the first 2 and a half days were rough, particularly the second night. Lots of nausea and vomiting on the second night. Had a very slight headache for about 4 pills in. Took my 7th pill today. I feel pretty great! The side effects (for me) went away after about 3 pills. Maybe a little VERY slight and tolerable nausea here and there, mostly after waking up due to empty stomach. Make sure you take this medication when you have food in your stomach, for sure. Otherwise, two thumbs up!"


"My 7yr old granddaughter has been told to take this by her doctor for sleep, otherwise she is up all night due to hyperactivity. I highly recommend this herb to anyone in need. She takes 5 mg a night for almost 4 yrs now. Ask your child's doctor first PLEASE!"


"Hi everyone-I just started Cymbalta about 2 weeks ago and so far it has been great-My anxiety was really bad for months, leading to severe depression, and I finally had to talk to my doctor about taking something-I was reluctant about taking anything and hadn't before now-I am so glad I did! I take 30 mg now 1x day and like the lower dose-Initially had a couple a bad reactions-after 12 hrs of my first pill, I got severely hyper but it settled about 6 hrs later then I took a day off and restarted-it's been fine ever since-I can't explain how great it feels to not have those negative thoughts constantly harass you and the renewed sense of self and confidence is over-whelming. I only noticed dry mouth and I'm more forgetful it seems."


"Cured the ear infection but caused horrible diarrhea that continued for a while after stopping it, for 14 month old daughter. Very harsh on the digestive system. "


"I have been on this pain patch for 2 years and I do not think very highly of it. Because I still have tremendous pain even though its suppose to provide relief around the clock. It does take the edge off. But the side effects aren't that great. You will withdrawal from it after you have been on it more than a couple months, its terrible. And while I wait for a p.a. every month sometimes it has taken up to a week for insurance to approve a med I get every month for last 2 years. Withdrawals are horrific with this medicine. I'm actually and honestly thinking about next withdrawal I go through after I'm done. Never putting another patch on me!!! I'd rather take ibuprofen and not have all the side effects. For pain relief equal to ibuprofen!"


"I used them during this past quitting attempt and found them to help my symptoms of getting healthy again to the point where I could actually get to work while kicking my habit. Two orange flavored thumbs up."


"Thank you SCIENCE for this medication! My migraines used to immobilize me and now I finally have relief thanks to this med. Better living through modern science."


"Dilaudid in the E.R. and went home with prescription for Toradol after for 5 days. This worked well."


"My eyes felt better FAST.  My pain went away quickly after my surgery."


"This pill is good on preventing pregnancy. I've been on it for 4 months and was scared to try it. But I don't get sick, my periods are about 5 days, and everything is good except my acne. I used to get some breakouts on my back and shoulders and that's totally gone but my face has gotten pretty bad. I'm going to switch to a lower hormone one because my face has never been this bad before."


"I have been on Zoloft, Lexapro and Effexor. Effexor has been the one that worked for me, the other two were nightmares. I took Effexor during a particular bad time after high school and it saved my life. I had wanted to die back then. Just recently these past couple years I've noticed my depression creeping back and the death of a family member has added some anxiety in there as well. I told my doctor I needed something or I was gonna spiral downward. I am taking the lowest dosage 37.5 MG I believe. It's been two weeks and I've had some expected side effects. Nausea, constipation, trouble sleeping, and a little bit of dizziness. Nothing terrible. Within three or four days I noticed a change. It's worked for me and I'm glad I'm back on it."


"I started on bupropion on a Friday and by the next Tuesday totally quit. Did nicotine patches for 3 days then just totally quit. Been smoke free for 22 days now."


""Wow"!! That pretty well sums it up. I have been an Ambien user for the past few years.  As much as I hate to admit it I found myself abusing the medication. Even worse yet, I was sleep walking & sleep cooking almost every night with huge holes in my memory. I asked my doctor for a sample of Lunesta yesterday. He gave me the 3mg right from the start. The nasty taste hit my mouth within the first 15 minutes of taking it. I woke up 2x during the night due to an alarm on my dryer, but was able to fall right back to sleep. I did wake up with a horrible headache. Not sure if it was from the Lunesta or not. I will try again tonight and see what happens. I to would give this medication a 10 if it were not fo the nasty taste."


"I was on fluoxetine for depression and stress 3 years ago for about a year. I used to be tearful, very unmotivated and stressed out by day to day things. I can't remember any side effects but can remember feeling calmer and happier. All my problems were "just out of reach" - not stressing me out but could be dealt with as and when I wanted to. I was assaulted at work 5 months ago. I have for the past 5 months struggled to come to terms with it, combined with self pressure to prove myself work wise and perceived pressure to "bounce back" from work I have ended up in a right old mess. Prescribed fluoxetine 9 days ago. I have had various side effects - dizziness, "disjointed" feeling in my head but definitely calmer and less tearful."


"I am 21 and have been fighting severe rheumatoid arthritis since I was 17, spending most of the past year in bed. I've been on Enbrel 5 weeks and I've been experiencing no pain relief, just constipation and lack of sleep. "


"I feel amazing. I was an absolute wreck, unreasonable. Paranoid, emotional, moody.  My boyfriend was at his wits end so I went to the DR's and was told I was depressed! I was so shocked but it all made sense.  I have been described 20mg of citalopram and I feel the effects already.  I feel a bit nauseous about 2 hours after taking the tablet and my sleep is affected but otherwise I no longer get overwhelmed, I don't feel paranoid and I don't feel at rock bottom at every little thing.  I am feeling so positive and my boyfriend is so happy to have the old me back.  Taking this medicine has made me realize just how bad I was."


"I've tried monistat 1 but it's extremely too strong for me (in the shower 5 minutes later) so I always used monistat 3... after insertion I have a horrible itch to where I can't stop moving. It's unbearable! But I use anti itch cream with it so it helps. I've never experienced the burning part. My husband had no clue what a yeast infection was so I explained it to him. I was moving and he asked what was wrong and I told him it itches after insertion and he looked puzzled so I googled it for him and let him read a few of these and he just giggled because he couldn't believe it. But once you get pass the itching, and burning as some people experience it work really well!"


"Didn't realize why I had uncontrollable impulse to gamble my $ away seriously it was bad. I just read all the side effects of this drug I am slowly getting off it now.  I am broke and my head injury induced tremors go on without it or maybe they won't return.  My message is  be careful of impulse control!"


"Improved urine flow in the beginning, but over time it seems to lose effectiveness. Doing 0.4mg tablet, 1 per day.

Sideffects: just feel weak all around and have dry ejaculations."


"Trazadone works well for my insomnia and does not leave me feeling with a hangover the next day."


"I'm 28 years old. I've been on Natazia for over a year now. The first few months were great because the pill really lightened and shortened my periods which were usually heavy and lasted 8-10 days. However, for the past 3  months, I've had bad acne around my jaw line and neck. Now, for the past week and 2 days I've been spotting within the 2nd and 3rd week before my period! I have one more week left on this but am very worried about spotting for over a week!"


"Doing well on 450mg capsules, and on a teaspoon of bulk powder in a 10 oz. cup of green tea with lemon juice added."


"my experience with this medication is not great. I'm not typically a "drug sensitive" person. I was prescribed 10mgs of this three times daily (yeah right!) for lower back spasms. I'd rather have the spasms, I took one 10mg pill and started like nodding off and drooling on myself about an hour after taking it. Then, I was out cold. The next day, I felt wasted and hung over. This was like 16 hours later. Sure my pain was gone but it took me about 48 hours to be able to function normally again after taking this pill. No thanks."


"I take many medications for Depression (Bi-Polar) and this one helps without the sleepiness that the other ones give. I take a total of four different medications for depression some to help me sleep and others as a supplement."


"My Asthma came back when I was around 45 years old.  My doctors couldn't find any medication that would help. It was so bad I couldn't go outside or open a door in the house.  I spent several hours taking breathing treatments each day.  Then I was given a prescription for Uniphyl.  Everything changed for me when I started taking it.  It is a miracle drug."


"Okay I'm doing this for all of the girls out there who have mixed emotions and who are stressing out. And before you say anything, I know we are naive, young, and dumb.  We had protected sex on Saturday November 28 around 10 pm. Everything had been okay, until the  point I had got up and noticed the condom was in me but only a little bit, we had no thought of it until Monday, I over think a lot of things so I was worried that the condom had broke or even about pre cum. I bought plan b and took it on Tuesday( approx 62 hours later) and experienced horrible side effects. It must have been worth it though because I had gotten my period on December 10, my usual date. Don't stress! That's what I did."


"Very good pain killer."


"This stuff is brutal.  Helps me sleep with all of my neck and shoulder stiffness and pain, but I'm exhausted, lethargic, dizzy, off balance, panicked, and confused for 2 days after.  I can't take this anymore.  I feel like I'm in purgatory when I take this stuff."


"I have had a BIT for 2 years now, and although I can't tell a difference sometimes, I would hate to turn it off.  It is much better than oral baclofen, because of the side effects.  I was on 60mg/day oral and I couldn't take any more because of fatique.  I am currently on 512mcg/day and feel no side effects."


"Aside from some nausea, it was very effective for pain."


"The implant is rubbish. I am only 16 so I understand that my hormones are crazy already. However, though I was told about irregular bleeding I was not warned on the mood swings. I've felt terrible for the entire time I've had the implant. The insertion was pain free a little odd but it was fine. I'm nervous  to get it out but I'm desperate. In the past month I've been foul to my boyfriend and have taking up arguing as a new hobby. I barely speak to my family and am feeling so down and upset; I'm an emotional wreck. Anything sets me off crying and makes me so angry then I get really low. It may work for some people but for me it's terrible. The bleeding is also frustrating because it's on and off so v unpredictable. Wouldn't recommended it!!!!"


"I just barely started having anxiety attacks, and I am 18. Almost 19. I went to the insta care and they gave me this prescription, at first I took a half of one it made me feel way weird, but I have been taking lower then a half. It's been Calming me down, been really tired though.. And been vomiting and going to the bathroom a lot. I don't know if that's good or not. It's harder for me to sleep at night."


"I tried Enterogam last week for two and a half days, at a much reduced dose, less than half a packet twice a day.   I got a mild headache about 30 min. after taking the first dose.   I also felt like my throat was prickly and maybe a bit swollen.   After five doses, I discontinued it.   But I decided to try it again yesterday, taking 1/2 tsp. in the a.m. and 1 tsp in the p.m.   I awoke today feeling awful.  The left upper side of my body hurt, especially my left breast.   My gut felt like it was compressed and I was very nauseous.   I am discontinuing it for now.  I wish I could tolerate it because I can only eat three things and I just do not know how to heal my gut, even though I have taken probiotics for over five years and many other su"


"I started at 247lbs and took it for 3 months and am now at 214lbs. It worked great. Lots of energy and no appetite. Had to make sure and eat things that were healthy because I needed the nutrition and I did exercise daily but after the 3rd month really noticed extreme hair loss, so I had to stop. It's been 5 months and my hair is still thin and I am at 208lbs now. Good luck."


"This drug makes it possible for me to stay active and take care of normal activity"


"I have been on Arimidex for 5 years. No pain or problems, and with a vitamin D supplement, I have been feeling great! Didn't have any problems until I started the generic form."


"They made me swell up and made my muscles weak. I also developed diabetes"


"Nature Throid was a disaster for me.  I was trying to switch from Armour Thyroid (since it was getting pricey), and had been taking NT for only about a week.  They dosage differences were a little tricky, but from the major crash I experienced, you'd think I was taking a placebo.  It was as if my body rejected it outright.  Much as I hate having to take a more expensive medicine, my doctor advised that I go back to Armour, at least for now."


"Very helpful for my frozen shoulder pain with no side effects."


"I had Implanon for 5 months,then had it taken off.
Good: -practically certain of not getting pregnant; -not having to remember it; -bigger breasts.
Bad:
Menstruated or had spotting for almost 3 of the 5 months, and menstruated in more quantity.
Had 3 months of premenstrual syndrome (mood swings, irritability. Very bad for my mental health and relationship.)
Worsened my rhinitis allergy,  also very disruptive. My nose was inflammed like in rhinitis, despite maximum rhinitis medication.
Not so easy to stop: as it requires minor intervention, I kept waiting that side effects would pass.
I advise trying oral progesterones a few months first.
Not advisable for low stature and weight (55kg), bad PMS, depressive history or rhinitis."


"Ever since middle school I have suffered from hyperhidrosis since I was 12. My problem area was my armpits and I was very self conscious. Although this product has helped with the sweating it doesn't always work but ALWAYS causes extreme pain rashes and itching. There were times were I would feel like crying because of the pain. The product isn't terrible and certainly works but is NOT WORTH THE PAIN."


"I stopped smoking last September with the help of Champix. I had tried to stop for many decades with all types of assistance with no success. I developed a cough and my GP prescribed Champix, with the help of an enabler. It is now June and I am sad to say I started smoking again. It began with a need for only one, that's all, I stupidly thought it wouldn't affect me at all. WRONG,,!
I found a half empty bottle of Champix and have started on them again. I should really return to my helper but can't bear the thought of admitting what a whimp I am!"


"I have used it on and off for years to help me sleep in the day (I work 3rd shift) and it is consistently helpful."


"Our 8 yr old son was diagnosed with ADHD in Kindergarten.  We tried everything. We left no stone unturned.   We were referred to a great  psychiatrist who listened to our concerns and advised us to start him on Vyvanse. He started in March 17.  To say it has been a miracle is an understatement.  While he is not yet a "A" student,  he can now work independently, is not as frustrated, his handwriting has improved.  His teachers are amazed at the turn around.  I am only writing a review because I had read all the blogs and was terrified to say the least.  This med so far has worked with only a few side effects that we are working on.ie;increased agitation when coming off of. His happiness and ability to learn is worth it"


"I'm 58 years old, exercise regularly and have not been able to loose any weight at all on my own in years and actually started gaining.  My Dr. Prescribed Belviq.  I've been on Belviq for 4 days, I've lost 5 pounds!  Amazing!  I have had no side effects whatsoever, except that the first night, I had terrible dreams, so now  I only take this drug once a day in the morning, and it's working!  I need to loose 50 pounds, and I weighed under 200 when I started.  I walk 3 miles, 3 times a week and I went to an 1100 calorie diet every day.  I am very strict on my calories.  Lots of fruit, protein, and veggies (which I hate)  but the weight is coming off and I'm very encouraged.   I will continue till I'm at my goal weight."


"I have had tendonitis for years. I have tried Celebrex, Vioxx and others. Nothing works but Mobic."


"My toenail fungus started in 2001.  But I ignored it for years, mostly because I wear polish on my toenails and never thought about it.  About 18 months ago, one toenail started to curl and they were both getting very thick and icky. I tried Lamasil (oral) and within days had a major allergic reaction, with hives everywhere and red welts on my face and neck.

My podiatrist wasn't hopeful about this being a cure.  But I had to try. I apply it every single morning.  I don't think I've missed a single day.  My toenails are about 2/3 grown out, the curl in the left toenail has flattened out and the nail has grown out enough so that the thickness is almost gone.  I'm very hopeful that by December 2016 it'll be all gone."


"i have tried almost all SSRI that are commonly used and celexa works just like all the rest of them. It makes me feel out of it like I'm not really here and makes me extremely tired I sleep about 4 hours a day. It does help with some of my anxiety not all of it and it does help with anger"


"While Skyla and other IUDs can be a great option for some women (convenience, effectiveness, etc.), it was the wrong birth control method for me. The insertion was much more painful than was expected, even though an ultrasound confirmed the IUD was in the correct place. I had severe cramping for the first 24 hours. Cramping then came in waves for a few days afterward, ranging from mild/manageable to acute enough for me to be unable to walk or stand. Aside from the pain level, the thought that a foreign object was inside my uterus was much more upsetting to me than I had expected it would be. Removal was also painful, but lasted no more than a few minutes. Nuvaring was a better choice for me."


"Works good except several periods per month of 2 to 3 days when palpitations are much worse."


"I am bipolar and take Celexa and Abilify. My doctor added Vistaril for my anxiety and panic attacks and so far the Vistaril did the trick. I feel human again and not flying all over the place since the Vistaril was added and I haven't had a panic attack for 3 weeks... Hurray for Vistaril."


"Hey ladies. It was my first time taking plan b and I had my doubts about this pill as many of you guys do. After I took the pill, I read all the review on this website because I was obviously freaking out. A lot of the reviews here put my mind and ease so I decided to write a review when I get my next period. And today is the day! I got my period today! It's about a week earlier than expected and I'm not pregnant! So ladies, don't worry this pill definitely works. I took this pill about 16 hrs after it happened unlike most of the other reviews here but the pill got its job done. I had nauseosness and discomfort in the stomach for a week but it might be because I was stressing out about it. This pill is worth the money."


"I have been on Lithium for about 1.5 months, along with Lamotrigine.  As soon as one week, I could tell a difference in myself.  I was finally starting to feel like my "normal" self.  At the time of starting these medications, I was easily agitated, would get angry at everyone over simple things.  I found I was grinding my teeth a lot, trying to cope with my feelings.  I was also becoming reclusive, since everything bothered me, I tried to avoid people and things that bothered me, so I would "hide" in my bedroom, and then the depression set in.  So far, these two medications have helped wonderfully, and have changed my life!"


"I started this medicine over a year ago. At first I was on a lesser mg and dose (I think 50mg once a day) it moved up to 100mg two times a day within a few months. At first it was great, it seemed like it really was helping. But then I kind of just took it ritually without any praises or complains. I would have nausea and even vomited once or twice. Recently I have been having severe eye swelling, redness and itching of my face. I am learning that this might be a side effect of the drug, so I plan to stop taking it."


"I find that it  makes me a little tired, but in better spirits and less irritable. Since I have switched from Effexor ER to this it's hard to have an orgasm. Hopefully that will get better."


"I'm 56, with six stents, and suffering from erectile dysfunction.  Took 20mg of Cialis.  No expectations.  It worked brilliantly.  Lasted longer, stayed harder, with a mild stuffy nose.  Took two pills over a 72 hr period.  Self-confidence, esteem, and performance is back!  She loved it too."


"I Used this treatment after using a few different antibiotics, retin A, some zinc lotion  to which absolutely nothing worked!
I went to my doctor almost in tears and he prescribed me this and said this is the best acne treatment from a GP and if this doesn't work he will refer me to a dermatologist
And my god was he right. This is the only cream that has EVER worked. It burns like hell but your skin gets used to it after a bit and you have to be patient
Also to let people know my ACNE was moderate it's now nearly gone.  The  cream doesn't cure you from getting spots but it definitely is the best thing I've used , my skin used to be SEVERE but it calmed down when I went on the Yasmin contraceptive pill, another drug I can't live without"


"Bupropion sr help me to quite tobbaco. within 10 days.  now  2 years  are  completed with smoking.
 thanks !"


"During college, as an athlete, I experienced a surprise acne issue. But it was relentless in college, never anything serious, but enough to frustrate me. I was prescribed bactrim my junior year and had unbelievable results. It cleared within weeks and if by chance, I ever broke out, the break outs were so minimal and healed so quick. I stayed on it for about a year and then came off of it because I had no more problems. My face stayed pretty good, here and there during the time of the month, but that was it. I just went back on it,a year and a half later, due to frustrating break outs around my chin. Again, nothing serious but I know that Bactrim works so why not! 2 weeks later, clear skin!! TRY IT"


"I started taking Mobic for my plantar fasciitis a week ago. I have had the medicine for 6 months for my back, shoulder and neck pain but it did not help me. When my foot started crippling me, I took it with Skelaxin and was amazed at how quickly the pain, all my pain, disappeared. I suffer from fybromyalgia as well. Today, my body was fine but my heel was killing me. I took the mobic and I was relieved of pain within 20 to 30 mins. Mobic allowed me to walk again. Mobic with Skelaxin gave me my life back. I'm 48 do I expect pain and problems but when you hurt from your rooter to your tooter all seems hopeless. This medicine helped me tremendously.  I'm more excited that I dont have to take narcotics daily."


"On one hand I've found this birth control beautiful. I went on it while I had a boyfriend and was expecting it was something necessary, and even though he left my life it has come with some interesting quirks.

I'm a little conflicted on how I feel they've affected my menstrual cycle. Before any birth control I would have regular monthly periods. But they were heavy, I had to wear overnight pads for all seven days, changing them every three hours. I used to get crippling cramps on my first day.

When I started the implant they changed. My first period was 4 days and so, so, so much lighter. No pain. But since the second month I have not had a day without bleeding. Very very light, barely there. No pain still. So there's my puzzle."


"My biggest issue on Brintellix was frequent mood swings. Even at the lowest dose of 5mg, I called my psychiatrist to report that within the first week, my mood would suddenly drop considerably for hours at a time on and off.

At 10mg, I became very irritable on this medication in addition to the mood swings. At 20mg, the mood swings became so dramatic my therapist told me that my symptoms reminded him a lot of his patients who have bipolar disorder. I would cry at almost anything for no reason.

The only upside of this medication for me was that it indeed did not give me any sexual side effects as advertised."


"Don't do it! I got the 3 month shot 1 month ago and have had these symptoms so far: constant and severe pelvic pain, sharp lower back pain, pain when bladder is full and when emptying, lots of migraines & headaches, nausea, vomiting, high anxiety, extreme fatigue, very low mood swings, loss of appetite and insomnia. The worst symptom of all is the severe depression, I have had several thoughts of suicide. I would rather deal with just the pain than all of these together.
I was told by my doctor the only symptom I would get is hot flashes and she had only heard of success stories with this drug, that was a total lie. If you react badly with other birth controls do not do Lupron, it's a living nightmare!"


"Had IUD inserted on 2/14 while on my period and it hurt a ton. Period immediately disappeared, to extremely light spotting and then left all together after having it only 2 days (usually 5). I do not feel the IUD at all and I really like it. However, I have noticed that my skin is acting up and that was never an issue for me (used ACV and got it under control). Also, I just got what was supposed to be my period, but only spotted for 10 days, no regular period ever came. Not sure how I feel about the 10 days but my periods before were TERRIBLE so I'm happy that's gone. I had tried the depo shot, 3 different pills and the pullout method prior to this and this is by far the best one. Take ibuprofen before insertion and you'll be ok."


"I am an 18 year old girl who has never been pregnant. I wanted a form of birth control that gave me the freedom pills didn't give me. My doctor suggested Skyla Iud, since it's much smaller. I will tell you right now, do not waste your time reading horror stories. I literally spent the night before and today, during my apt reading and I was freaking out. When we finally began the procedure, I was so nervous. I felt intense pressure when she was measuring my cervix (it was 6cm), it was intense but bearable, and once she inserted the Iud, all I felt was a sharp period cramp. That's it!! I can't believe I was so scared.
I only took 4 aleves before the procedure, but pls don't freak out. Remember 3 yrs of bc over 2 mins of bearable pain!"


"works wonderfully with prozac for bipolar disorder"


"Work pretty good speaking as my back, shoulders, & neck spasm ever since my accident. Takes most of the pain away if not all of it."


"I was given dilaudid by iv while I was pregnant, for gallstone pain. I was so depressed because I stayed sick and in pain and I couldn't experience the joys of being pregnant. But dilaudid allowed me to be a little bit more comfortable."


"Been on Victoza for 2 weeks at 0.6 dose but will have to stop taking it. The nausea is terrible and also the constipation. I can't face food and have lost about 7 lbs. "


"They worked pretty good BUT there is NO GENERIC for this Drug and the Doc says you have to have it ,,, So you have to pay 293.?? For a tiny bottle.  How can that be?"


"I hate experiencing Bacterial Vaginosis ! The smell is horrible and makes u feel very uncomfortable around ppl. The discharge is disgusting like thick cottage cheese. "


"I've been taking Cipralex on and off for the last 7 years but have been on it steady for the last 2yrs. This time I've only been taking 5mg. because of the side effects I got before, but due to certain circumstances in my life I need to increase it because my depression has worsened and my anxiety is very high. The reason I went on it again was because of anxiety attacks and my depression was not good. I really hate to have to increase it again because of the side effects but I have taken many other anti-depressants and their side effects were worse. I'm very sensitive to medication in general even Tylenol makes me fall asleep lol. But I'm also thing that maybe taking Clonazepam on a regular basis may help with my extreme anxiety."


"Took one at 9am,  had little effect and just made me gassy. Took another at 1pm, had a BM approx. two hours later, still experiencing some discomfort though so I don't think it's done a very thorough job."


"Im 19 years old and have had acne since about the 6th grade (age 11). About a month ago I went to a new dermatologist who took one look at me and said shes going to prescribe me Retin-A.  I told her that I tried that and she said Aczone was the last one she could think of that could possibly help me.  So far after three weeks my forehead and left cheek has cleared up (but I still have acne scars).  The right cheek doesn't seem to be getting better or worse, the pimples I had went away and others came. Hoping for more results with time."


"Tramadol is a wonder drug.  I've been taking it for 3 years.  It takes care of my minor arthritic pain.  More importantly, it just makes me feel good everyday.  I take one 50mg pill in the morning, and one mid-afternoon: far less than the 300mg allowed per day.  I've tried the 300mg ER tramadol, but had to stop after 2 days. Kept me working busily till 3am each night, but I was dizzy and nauseated on the 2nd day and the day after, so I stopped.  Tramadol has done something else.  I used to drink too much on a daily basis because of stress.  Once I started taking Tramadol, I liked that feeling better and without the hangover.  In 2 months, I quit drinking altogether. "


"After more than a month of sciatica pain and chiropractic treatment I woke one morning and could not get out of bed. Called 911 and was taken to hospital in a wheelchair.

Within 30 minutes of taking cyclobenzaprine, I was able to walk out of the hospital. That was 8 years ago. I have not had problems since and have not needed to purchase any more medicine than the initial prescription."


"Love this medicine."


"It took 2-3 months for everything to regulate, but now that I've been on it for almost a year, I love it. My cramps aren't as bad, bleeding is much lighter than it used to be, hormones are 1,000 times more steady, and best of all: only 4 periods per year! Only drawback is that I get random menstrual-like cramps, but they're very light, don't even need to take ibuprofen, it's more of a small annoyance than anything. I haven't gained weight, but my face has broken out some over the past 1-2 months; it didn't for the longest time so I'm not sure whether there's a correlation to the Beyaz or not. I take it at night, because if I take any kind of birth control in the morning I feel extremely dizzy/nauseous all day. Overall an awesome choice!"


"I had the Nexplanon inserted in February of this year the first day after my last "normal" period.  The first month went well but soon spiralled out of control.  I started breakout bleeding plus I ended up in the ER in March two days in a row from an unexplained allergic reaction, hives all over my body, swollen face etc... Turns out Nexplanon can cause hypersensitivity to other medications and in turn caused the allergic reaction.  Keep in mind the only change I made was the BC. It is now May and I still have the implant in my arm.  Even more side affects have taken place for me.  I have continued to experience hives here and there, sometimes for days on end.  On top of the hive I have had severe mood swings and overall am super sensitive."


"Will never ever ever ever get back on this. Caused HORRIBLE depression, terrible weight gain and basically got every side effect this drug can cause. Wouldn't wish this drug on my worst friend! AND it effects your fertility for up to a year which I wasn't told. Good thing I'm trying to have a baby now "


"I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for almost 4 years. It was my favorite out of all the birth controls I tried until this year. I am 5'6-5'7 and have always been about 125-130 pounds. I am now about 150-160 pounds, I skipped a period two months ago, got this months period late. I am not pregnant. I will randomly feel sick and depressed. I have lost my sex drive and my boobs will hurt. I have extreme cramps and find myself experiencing tons of mood swings. I think it is time to switch to something else."


"I did not have a pleasant experience on Linzess. Every time I took one dose of this medication, 20 minutes later I was flushed, light headed and extremely nauseous followed by an aggressive and painful bowel movement. Would not recommend."


"I received propofol today for a colonoscopy and it worked wonderfully.  I was very worried as past anesthetics caused severe nausea afterwards, but no side effects at all with this drug."


"After one week, I went from having diarrhea 6- 8 times a day to normal movements twice (average) a day.  What a Godsend!"


"This medication when given to my autistic child at age 8 made him so violent. Only took one dose."


"I have suffered from chronic joint pain my entire life. After trying almost every non narcoticoption there is, I finally was prescribed Tylenol #3. I had been given Vicodin in the past by an NP (despite not really wanting it), and had not found it to be effective. The codeine though has made a huge difference. I haven't had any of the negative effects with it (stomach pain, dizziness, etc) but have gotten a huge amount of pain relief. It isn't extremely strong, it won't take me from a 10 to a 0, but it will get me to a bearable 1 or 2."


"I have not gotten my period just like I haven't before which is why I decided to go on Nexplanon due to the pregnancy scares from not getting my period all the time. One thing that sucks about it is my sex drive, I don't get turned on easily and I'm not  "wet" like I used to. I just got it about a month ago so hopefully nothing bad occurs besides that."


"I tapered off it because I was feeling antsy and actually suicidal toward the end."


"Love this medicine. Started taking it on 3/11/14. Age 47 weighed in at 282lbs with A1c 6.6 on 5/16/14.  I weighted in at 262lbs and a  A1c 5.4 in just 60 days!"


"Saved my life."


"I was put on Safryal two months ago after being on Camresem due to breakthrough bleeding. Safyral definitely took care of that issue, but it came with several others. I now have very painful cramps just before and on my period. My periods last 7 days and are very heavy (which is normal for me off of birth control), and I'm constantly bloated. I also get headaches more than usual, and have gained about 4lbs and cannot lose weight at all. Going tomorrow to hopefully switch to a lower dose again."


"I bought monistat last night for some itching I've been having. I've never had a yeast infection but I knew it was because of the symptoms I was having. I showered and put in monistat at around 10 pm and went to bed. I woke up around 4 with discomfort but went back to sleep. I woke up at 7 for work and the pain is unbearable. I wish I read the reviews before. The burning is so intense and the itching still remains, it basically made it worse and now I don't know what to do... Will NEVER use again. Everyones different so it won't burn some people, but honestly I wouldn't take that chance if I were you!"


"I was put on a dose of 1000 mg a day.  Took care of the urinary tract infection like a charm but the side effects were not pleasant.  I had heartburn and nausea after every dose, and antacids can't be taken for 2 hrs. after.  I also had headaches and kept smelling burning plastic.  "


"My brother had Botox done last year for Bladder problems with MS. It has been the worst year since been diagnosed 20 years ago. He wasn't told he would need to use a catheter and he has severe vision problems. Has had constant UTI's terrible pain from using catheters and developed hemarrhoids after having Botox done. Now Botox worn off and still needs catheters and is in pain. He has been told he'll need to have more Botox so he won't feel the pain. Complete disaster and very costly trips to specialists."


"Has definitely decreased my flow by about 50%, I have not had any accidents while taking this medication. Before I had at least one or two accidents per cycle. The headaches can be annoying but I'd take them over the heavy flow any day!"


"I'm almost finishing my second pack of Lo Loestrin Fe and so far not very many problems! The first couple weeks of taking it I had really bad headaches and I've gained maybe 2 lbs, my weight does change from time to time anyway! I've have one period which was very light and haven't had any other side affects! I would recommend Lo Loestrin Fe."


"Took this as given by doctor for migraines I was having daily, well never again will I take this tablet! Made me feel so unwell! I can't describe how I felt. Never again."


"At the age of 10, my son's ADHD was needing medical help. He was put on Concerta18mg and was a little unwell for two weeks, with sick stomach, lack
of appetite, and slightly listless. Made sure he ate breakfast before taking his tablet. He did look a little thin after about 1 year. We persevered with Concerta and life quickly improved until almost all ADHD problems had disappeared. Did not increase the initial drug dose. But after 18 months, he was becoming quiet and withdrawn. Decided to stop Concerta. Mild withdrawal symptoms for a week or so. We have never looked back. He is now 14, not on any medications and is a tall, healthy, teenager. Wow, recommend this tablet. He may need it again some day."


"I got prescribed this medication for mild anxiety & minor depression. I usually get overwhelmed by things that should feel not so worrisome, & replay things that irritate or upset me over & over in my head. I've been on a light dose of Celexa for about a week now. I take it at night & don't have trouble sleeping. I will say right when it hits 645 - 7am I wake up & am immediately wide awake though. I have definitely noticed a positive change. Not a huge one, but just enough to make me feel more "normal". I can be a bit of a drag sometimes, & just not my peppy self that I know is hiding in me. This has made me feel much more of a positive peppy "good parts of myself" come out more & I can manage my stress better & lighter than I was before."


"I've had hyperhidrosis since early teens. All my body is affected but feet are the worst. In the past I had to change shoes every 2-3 months because they started smell from my feet. I was ashamed when shaking hands because mine were constantly wet. I have tried many things but nothing worked. Oxybutynin changed my life. I only take one tablet at night as higher dose makes me drowsy and my mouth gets too dry. This is enough to stop my body sweating,   however not enough for my feet; but this is a compromise. Feel like I was given a new life. Shame GPS don't prescribe it as proper hyperhydrosis treatment."


"1st time caller here. The taste was not what I expected. Everyone I talked to told me that  its gonna taste horrible. With much anticipation and hesitation, I took the drink around 6pm, and to my surprise, it wasn't half bad. I could even see mixing it with some rum and it might make quite the drink. I didn't do that, but it was just a thought. Anyways, it kicked in around  640 pm and its now 8PM and I'm still on the pooper. I've just been reading and surfing on the net and its now seeming to slow down...This stuff sure cleans you out. I didn't eat all day except for some water and chicken broth. Works good! Wish me luck tomorrow on my procedure. God bless you all!"


"I started taking Xanax after the suicide of my son.  I was on it for quite a while but it didn't work so well after a while and I was not sleeping.  So I was put on Lorazepam.  2mg twice a day only I take them both at night with a 50mg amitrypline.  If I don't knock myself completely out I have horrible night terrors and nightmares.  I have been on this dose for about 2 years now.  How can I get out of this?  Whereas time has by no means made it "easier to deal with" I know I will need to be on something for sleep but an now worried about the long term affects.  I am also worried about it showing up on drugs tests."


"I have been  taking stratter for 3months now ! I'm more tired when I take it bad I'm assuming gas pains but I don't care for it !"


"I gave a 5 (for now) just took my first dose of 75mg (to take every 8 hours)
I will update the score once I've been on it a little longer.
I have noticed in the reviews that just like any medicine it works for some people and not others.
I'm actually posting regarding the concerns about the cost of the meds.
First, discuss this concern with your doctor. No medication will work if you can't afford to pay for it!
Or to take smaller doses so you don't have to shell out $ you don't have.
I would recommend checking with the manufacturer for discounts, or sometimes getting a medication at no cost.
I'm not sure what is available for this manufacturer.
There are a lot of pharmaceutical companies that have patient assist programs. Good luck."


"Seems to work well. I am less angry. Call other drivers a Knuckle head now instead of a stupid SOB. lol

 It made me really sick at first with 50mg twice a day but Dr changed to 25mg twice a day for two weeks & I built up a tolerance to it. Now back to 50mg 2 times daily with no problem.

 I do now have a low tolerance for some foods that I use to eat with no problem. Mostly spicy foods (Italian, Mexican,  Honey mustard etc.)"


"This is about my woman who is on zoloft......  Two years with my woman we never needed any lube. Now I'm worried she is like a desert. Calmer now that her little zoloft friends in "her head" tell her to stay calm it's OK.  I'll keep you up to date with her "progress"  with her voices "


"My dentist prescribed it to me to treat a toothache and it's completely useless."


"I had such high hopes for this medication for my severe depression and anxiety. I was committed to try it for a full 4 weeks. I started on 10 mg and then went up to 15 mg. I never managed to get to the 20 mg due to overwhelming nausea, belching, excessive salivating, unbearable constipation and then the vomiting started. I didn't gain weight but that is because I couldn't eat. It did help with the depression but not the anxiety. Definitely not for me!"


"This is the first and only medication we've given to my 6yo son since being diagnosed with adhd in January 2016. It works very well. We give him his dose at 6:30am during the school year and the teacher notices it wearing off by about 2pm. The only noticeable side affects were a slight decrease in appetite the first few weeks, and slightly more difficulty when settling down for bed at night.  We no longer have either issue.  It is pricy. We pay $$65/month with our insurance plan. We live in PA and have to pick up the prescription from the doctor's office each month. We've also had an issue occasionally when our pharmacy does not have quillivant in stock. When this happened we had to drive to several pharmacies to find one who had it."


"This Med is a wonder drug it has kept my highs normal and my lows alot better. I am not suicidal anymore i am nowhere near as depressed as i was. my moods have been the same a couple mood swings but i am only on 3mg so i still have some room to go up its the best medicine out there i have been on alot of them."


"I've been taken this since April 22 and feel so much better I wish I would have gotten them along time ago I forget to take them but man when I'm off them I can't control myself I snap at everyone"


"Victoza has been great! Had minimum side effects but went away after I start taking at night. Love the new energy I have. Don't have appetite I once had. Loving this medicine so far."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I'm only on my second month but Beyaz is already an answered prayer! I've suffered from polycystic ovarian syndrome for years and birth control pills have always aggravated some symptoms. Since starting this one I've seen much less facial hair, my skin is clearing up, I'm losing weight, and I've had my first cycle with no migraines which is a huge deal for me. I also have fibromyalgia and this medicine seems to be helping with that as well, perhaps its the vitamin aspect or my hormones finally balancing some. I was very hesitant at first and I'm so glad I gave it a shot! Thank you Bayer!"


"My son has been taking Abilify to help his aggressive behavior associated with his ADHD.  He plays with the other children like he did before the aggresive behavior developed and is doing a lot better."


"I loved this IUD.  I've had bad experiences with birth control pills (mood swings and acne) but this didn't cause either.  Ortho tri cyclin made me crazy and my acne went insane. Downside was it didn't help my endometriosis, I started getting ovarian cysts, and my boyfriend said he could feel it :(

Overall, I'm basing my rating on no initial side effects, plus my reason for using it was more special case (endo) and skyla can cause cysts in a percentage of people who take it, not everyone, and they go away once the IUD is gone.

It would be excellent if you aren't in that percentage, are using it exclusively for birth control, and are dating someone that isn't big enough to feel it ;)"


"I was just prescribed this antibiotic yesterday. I was prescribed 1 500 mg tab x 10 days for sinus and bronchial infection. I have taken multiple other antibiotics and it was not clearing the infection up. I have only taken one tablet and I had insomnia, leg and arm cramping, no appetite. I would recommend staying away from this antibiotic if at all possible."


"Pros: Didn't get pregnant, didn't have to worry about taking a pill everyday.

Cons: Facial acne, acne on shoulders, chest, upper arms and back, change in hair/scalp (now itchy and flaky, almost like I have dandruff, and dandruff shampoo doesn't help), controlling of my mood, and no change in cramps.

I have mild anxiety and the Nexplanon made it so much worse. Along with that, it's controlling my mood to the point where I am very irritated and angry over the smallest things. I did not have many pimples with a combination birth control pill, and now my face, shoulders, upper arms, chest, and back look like pepperoni pizza. I have never had a scalp issue, and now my head constantly itches and flakes.

DON'T DO IT"


"I have had no problems with it and when I go off it I get a Crohn's relapse.  It's worth the expense to have my health."


"1to 3 packs a day for past 5 years. On the third day talking zyban I took 3 drags and throw away cigarette. That was my last one. I can't look at cigarettes. Last pack is still on my countertop. Zyban is the best"


"I started phentermine on April 5th 2016 at 253lbs, today on June 26th 2016 I am 227lbs. I made a huge diet change when I started, cut out coffees, sweets, and payed attention to my portion sizes and calorie count. I started to really notice weightloss once I joined the gym on April 18th, going to the gym made me more motivated to eat healthy and stay on track and it feels great to exercise. I had a 2 week time period during the last few months where I fell back and started drinking coffee and had fair food, ice cream, and other junk. I also didn't make time for the gym.  I stopped loosing weight, I didn't gain any either though. I got myself back on track and am losing weight again. Diet and exercise definitely make this more effective."


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


"I have chronic pancreatitis.  For a while I was dropping weight very fast. Lost 32 pounds in March alone.  It was to the point where I couldn't function between vomiting and just the pain in my stomach area I wasn't doing well.  My GI doctor put me on Creon and things got much better.  I take one before I eat and after.  Slowly I was able to add to my menu more of foods I can tolerate.  Off the list before was any meat except for fish, lettuce and anything to sweet.  If I forget to take it when I eat and I do suffer the consequences later.  I'm very happy with this medicine."


"I decided to write a review because of the many negative experiences about insertion. The procedure was slightly painful, but tolerable. Mental preparation helped a lot. It was quick, about 2 minutes. Cramps the day of and day after felt like a heavy period. However, I did not spot at all afterward and I still haven't spotted. I did yoga about 2 hours after insertion and it helped eliminate ALL of the cramping. Physical activity and heating pads help immensely but even without cramps aren't that bad."


"I have been on Prozac for almost a year. Although my dose has been upped a couple of times, I feel like I have my life back. I know what quality of life is now."


"I have been taking victoza since April 2017, I been having a lot of nausea and diarrhea, I also have a host of other illness, like gastroparisis, I have had that problem before I started taking victoza, dr. Said that gastroparisis is a side effect from being a diabetic , so I will continue to take my victoza cause my a1c is way better not eating a lot and cause my goal is to lose weight, so I deal with the side effects, good luck to all that can hang in there with it."


"I had great hopes for this relatively new sleep med. 10 mgs is useless and when you finally do fall asleep the dreams are borderline hallucinogenic. Incredibly real life non stop dreaming that makes you awaken cause they are so strange!! I adjusted to 20 mgs as prev read and then I slept better and the dreams weren't as crazy but still present. In my opinion, ambien 12.5 cr is still king. I will be going back to it when this rx runs its course. My main disappoint with this new med is frequent awakenings, longer time to fall asleep, and crazy dreams!"


"My son was recently perscribed this medicine. It

has had a positive effect on his behavioural problems.

It seems to have given him clarity."


"On a sample from Doctor. Day one: took pill at 1pm. nausea within within 4-5 hours. Weird temple headaches off and on.  Day 2) irritable mood upon waking up. Experienced unusual muscle weakness at gym at 5:30 pm - came home, ate. Slightly nauseas. Day 3). Iritable and nauseas with temple headaches. Day 4). Woke up. Not as irritable but had sharp pains in my eyes while wearing contacts. After taking pill at 1 pm, became very sick around 6 pm. Bloated stomach pain bus able to the eye and very nauseas. Weird pain in my jaw followed by extreme nausea. When I vomited slightly, I forced myself to vomit more when the nausea became too uncomfortable. nauseas half the he night until I finally fell asleep."


"There is not a visible or doctor confirmed improvement in my plantar wart.  I have been applying to my foot for one week.  Curiously, I am now being treated for bronchitis that appeared after a week of usage.  The side effects table indicated a 15% chance of upper respiratory infection and a 7% chance if sinusitis.  The correlation is unconfirmed.  I live in an area of drought with wildfires creating smoke.  The respiratory problems I have are most likely related to that."


"Lyrica is effective against anxiety but I have recently chosen to go off it due to side effects. The side effects are okay (not as bad as the SSRI's) but the main side effects I was concerned about were: Brain Fog (I became much dumber), forgetfulness, loss of physical sensations including less feeling during sex. All in all I would rate it better than any SSRI. "


"I was prescribed this medicine for my bipolar disorder.  It helped me a lot. I felt great and my relationship with my family improved. After 3 weeks though, I had a severe allergic reation to the Wellbutrin (bupropion) and had to go to the ER twice in a week.  I had hives, swollen eyes and lips, trouble breathing, sore joints.  As soon as I was taken off of it, my symptoms went away.  It is not common for this to happen and I do recommend it."


"I'm 16 and just finished my first pack. I'm on it because I've had the worst experience with periods ever since I was 13. Periods lasting 9-16 days, heaviest bleeding I've ever seen, and cramps so bad I wouldn't be able to go to school. Since I started, I noticed a few changes in the first month- My face is more clear, I feel refreshed, and my breasts grew. Not sure if that's normal, but I'm not going to complain. But I've also got some weird experiences too- WILD mood swings, I have spotted once, but that's to be expected for the first few months. I just got to the 1st in-active pill and don't know what to expect. I hope my period lasts for how long most people are saying. Wish me luck."


"experienced very low heart rate, palpatations, very disoriented, drowsy after taking only one 25 mg pill"


"Easy to use, easy to remove. I did notice breast tenderness when using the NuvaRing. My period has gone from 5 days to 3 days with a substantial decrease in cramp pain."


"Im very sorry to say that it didnt work for me. I was 46 at the time (not on the pil) and we had a ripped condom and i was ovulating. (Ive been regular like clockwork my whole life and experience ovulation pains as well)

I took plan b the next morning, 11 hours after the incident and fell pregnant regardless. (To be sure i had it confirmed by bloodtests at a doctors office). The stress was too much for words to explain.

Ive been pregnant for 8 weeks until I woke up bleeding and lost the baby...

re side effects: absolutly none."


"Have been on Seroquel XR 25mg (once before bed) for about 6 months now and my life has completely changed for the better. Yeah, the weight gain is a pain but its a small price to pay for normality. Social anxiety / severe insomnia has not been an issue for months!! Am finally myself again. Have tried other antipsychotics but nothing works as well as this one. Only downside is an insatiable appetite - but you can minimize weight gain by substituting with fruits etc, which is what Im currently doing."


"I went on Cymbalta for my fibromyalgia pain and depression.  I never had any real early side effects like nausea or vomiting, but I have gained 15 pounds. My meds have helped me and I  don't suffer from as many days of dreading to get out of bed. Cymbalta has helped me greatly and if some extra weight is the price I have to pay to be happy then I can deal with that."


"The only side effect that happened to me was spotting in the first 2 weeks. After that everything was okay, better that IUD. "


"Really good and old prescription medicine. Helped my neuralgia a great deal with NO side effects."
