"Was good the first week helped me sleep well woke up fine then the 2nd week I woke up feeling like I was having a panic attack and then felt so sleepy I was scared their was something wrong with me and was not feeling right at all and woke up with headaches and feeling groggy all day .. horrible won't take it again."


"My daughter is on this med she is 23. Her dr. Told her to take at dinner time  300 calories or more she eats about 6 or 7 because it makes her a little tried. But she still love doing things outdoors. I thank god for this med. It works for her."


"This medication took the pain away but kept me very awake. When I came off of the medicine, I had horrible headaches! "


"I was given the 40 mcg injections. Like other people posted I got up in about 5 minutes. But when it came to performance, I went soft after inserting into my girlfriend. This is a big disappointment to her & makes her feel unwanted. She is very close to leaving me because I can't be a man in bed."


"Read the reviews, was all worried about the flavor, but after mixing it realized it wasn't all that bad. Drank it up and drank 2 things of water behind it in just a couple of minutes. Within 5 minutes my belly started talking. Not as bad as people make it out to be. Wouldn't buy a six pack, but I've had worse."


"I have a 16yr old son who was put on Vyvanse for his ADHD 3yrs ago. It worked good for awhile made better grades in school. He had less impulsivity and was able to focus more. He had decreased appetite and needed to be put on another medicine to help him sleep. In the past year his grades went down. He was already on the highest dose of 70mg. He was becoming aggressive and very hateful. I found out that he was smoking weed and drinking. He told me he felt so jittery from his Vyvanse that was the only way he could relax. I put my son in a rehab and they switched him to Strattera and he is doing a lot better."


"I have suffered from severe depression/anxiety for 9 years now. I also suffer from PTSD. I have tried almost everything out there, and Prozac is the only antidepressant that I can take and that works for me. I am very sensitive to medication, and I'm glad I have found at least one medication that helps my severe depression. It helps motivate me and keeps me alive. I have been on 10 mg for a long time, and then recently went to 20 mg. I think I need to increase my dosage even more so. But it has been the only reliable medication I have ever taken, and for the longest duration."


"I started taking this medicine 2 months ago.  I have lost 14 pounds.  I only take 2 pills in the morning and I exercise 3 times per week.  30 minutes each time.
The only downside is that when you want to get a little tipsy you may not feel so good.  But you can have 2 glasses of wine and be fine.  That is just what I have experienced.  I am certain if I took the recommended dose weight loss would probably be more."


"My 81 year old mom w/dementia got Shingles on rt head/ then Postherpetic Neuralgia. Dr. started her on 100 mg Gabapentin, told to titrate up to 300 mg. Taught mom Lamaze breathing which reduced the pain duration from 60 min episodes down to 5-7 min.& reduced pain from Level 9 to 6/7.  I showed Dr a video of mom during Level 9 - I said"Dr. you keep calling it Shingles. I call it Postherpetic Neuralgia!"  Dr then said, "I am calling it PHN.  Titrate her to 3,600 mg!"  Mom is now taking 1200 mg 3 x a day + 3000 mg ExStrength Tylenol.  It took10 days to conquer side effects (dry mouth, scratchy eye, constipation, blurry vision, stability, confusion) Bedwetting began at week 4 but is getting better  Pain is now 3-5. Now in 5th week of Gabapentin"


"Took 10 mg Cialis.  It worked well, but I experienced horrific back pains while jogging. I had to stop every 10 minutes and rest until the pain went away. Finally I had to stop my daily exercise for three days.  Trust me exercise is as important to me as sex. I didn't have this problem with Viagra."


"This year I began having multiple GI issues causing me to lose 50lbs within 8 weeks, all not by choice. Under a lot of stress, I was already on Xanax for anxiety and ended up taking that to sleep every night. My doc kept me on Xanax for anxiety but Temazepam 30 and Trazodone 100 for sleep. Worked well for a month then started to be less effective. Now on Temazepam 30 with Remeron 50 and it is still working, but without the Temazepam I'm sure nothing would actually make me sleep. I even sometimes need to take two 30mg doses... I've even done the Temazepam with Trazodone and Remeron and slept like a baby. Temazepam is definitely winning factor but still have to take multiple meds to sleep. Can't sleep without it!"


"OMG - This stuff took about 1.5 hours to kick in.  The 1st - three movements were ok.  BUT, they have not stopped since and have become violent in nature.  We are 16 hours into this butt explosive nightmare.   I would highly NOT recommend this product to anyone.   Nor will I buy it again.   HORRIBLE - yes HORRIBLE"


"Best medicine ever but made me gain 15lbs in 6 months"


"It's very good, I'm on 10mg now. I used to take it couple of years ago, and felt much better, so after 2 years I stopped taking it. Now again I felt very anxious, and after one week on citalopram it's much easier for me to socialize.

No more need for hydroxizine or valium. The only one side effect is I can not "finish" if you know what I mean;)"


"This is quality brand named thyroid medicine that is effective and has virtually no side-effects."


"I got the Implanon about 3 months ago. The initial implant part was uncomfortable but the numbing stuff helped a lot! Afterwards it was pretty bruised and very sore. Its all healed now, and has left a tiny circular scar (like a chicken pox scar). The first couple of weeks I had INSANE amount of energy! It was amazing. I am  22 5'4 and 115lbs so I'm not overweight or unhealthy (which in my personal opinion is why I have such great side effects). I LOVE THIS BIRTH CONTROL! The only negative thing I have to say is when my body was adjusting to it I was very irritable and moody! I would cry if I saw a stupid SPCA commercial. But now 3 months later. I feel amazing! Normal periods and normal mood! TRY IT!"


"I've been on this medication for 3 months and I thought my side effects would get better as time went on, when in reality it's only gotten worse. I feel nauseous everyday, I don't ever want to eat, my doctor told me to take it with protein but every time I eat I feel even worse. I've been losing sleep every night from feeling so sick in my stomach, I feel really depressed and my anxiety is through the roof! My follow up appointment is in a few days, I cannot wait to get off of this!"


"I've been on Pristiq for almost 3 years and yes it works, but the withdrawals I'm experiencing are not worth it. The withdrawal symptoms have lasted two weeks and only get worse by the day. "


"This medicine helps ease the pain, discomfort of temporomandibular Joint Disorder associated with these symptoms for me. Tightness in jaw and neck, pain in jaw and neck down to shoulder. Also helps with other symptoms for me that seem to be like fibromyalgia symptoms. I give this medicine a high score. I have no side effects, except that it makes me very sleepy. I take this medicine at night before bed as it knocks me out about 1.5 hours after taking it. I can not take it during the day as I would not be able to function without falling asleep, that is the only bad thing. Sometime only a half of the pill is needed and for others the whole pill. I stay sleeping all night long without any interruptions of discomfort or pain."


"I like Zonegran overall, I haven't had a seizure since I started taking it."


"Okay, just like most people on here I decided to write a review if this pill worked. My previous period started on December 30, 2016. I had unprotected sex towards the end of my period on January 5th, 2017. The first time, my boyfriend pulled out but the second time, we kept going without a condom and I think there may have been some sperm in me. I freak out and went to Planned Parenthood on January 6th, 2017 to get emergency contraceptive. I got the generic formula called "Econtra EZ" but it worked just as fine! My period came today on January 29th, 2017. I was psyching myself out reading all these reviews but I've taken Plan B, Ella, Next Choice and etc... ALWAYS worked! Going to be on birth control pills after period!"


"I had Implanon inserted on 1/08 and it is the greatest birth control ever.  I have not had a period since then, very little in the way of mood swings, and no pregnancy.  I was very bad at taking the pills regularly, and the shot gave me migraines like no others I've ever experienced. I do have acne now, and weight gain (but I would bet that's from other lifestyle changes also)."


"This medicine is a God send. I've tried every sleeping pill in the book (Ambien, Trazodone, Seroquel, Elavil, ETC.) None of them would keep me asleep the whole night. 10mg of this and I sleep like a baby and don't have the racing thoughts. Only problem is it's real hard to get out of bed and get moving."


"I have been taking alfuzosin and finesteride for about six months. Prior to this life was miserable - I could hardly pee, frequent urgency, getting up every hour at night, and carrying depends (just in case). Had to even sit in tub sometimes and run warm water on my parts to help me pee. Let's put it this way, I was ready for the operation to get relief.

The doctor suggested these drugs as an alternative and nothing lost if they didn't work. There was even the possibility that could minimize amount of surgery needed.  In the final analysis peeing is much more regular, much reduced urgency and only getting up a couple times per night. Sexual side affects are a concern. I have tried to use a generic form of Cialis but it is less effective."


"Paxil helps me so much. I thank God for it. I've tried so many antidepressants and none work as good as Paxil. I would have terrible anxiety and panic attacks. Now I feel calm , confident and happy. It works. I did gain a little weight because it increased my appetite but nothing exercise and a heathy diet can't fix. I rather be happy anyway."


"Terrible drug.   Made me pee every 90 mins, which is not good as I am  a driver on the road all day.  Constant back pain.  Having to get to 2/3 times during the night to go to toilet, causing lack of sleep.      Negatives far outweigh positives.  I stopped taking it after 3 months."


"I have gotten (now)  three rounds of injections. I feel like I got my life back. I went from having 16-20 migraines a MONTH. I didn't see a way out, I honestly felt like my life was controlled by migraines and I sunk into deep depression. Since starting these I haven't had to call into work sick once, and am down to about 10 a month. That'd still a lot to many people but from where I was at? I was nervous about these injections,  and although I'm not a fan of the act of actually getting them haha, I won't stop getting them. They've changed my life for the better. Side effects? My eyebrows won't raise and lower like they use to. If that's the worst side effect I think I'm good. Plus my forehead will look great for years to come. ;)"


"The best! Takes a while but keep it up. I had horrendous cystic acne around my chin and lip area. My chin would be all bumpy due to the huge spots I had like the silloeutte of a cauliflower!! 18 months on and it's the best skin I've ever had. Ever time I come off it though (2 kids) my skin goes back down hill. I am very health conscious, eat well, drink plenty of water etc. Nothing made a difference apart from this."


"I'VE taken Xanax prescribed by my Dr for almost 2 yrs and I think its great for nerves, anxiety and good sleep. I take it at night and sleep sound all night and in the morning get up refreshed. I'm an insomniac so the help sleeping is amazing. I give it a 10, just stick with the dose the Dr. prescribes."


"After being taken off the arm implant due to complications with anxiety, and not being able to remember taking the pill, the patch, I've found, is the most suitable method for me. Sometimes the patch does come off but as long as you stick it on and really press on the edges for a minute that is less likely to happen. My first 2 months on the patch I did experience some morning sickness 2-3 times, however my body adjusted and I no longer have had to deal with this. As far as rashes, the patch may make the selected area red and itchy, but it's nothing unmanageable. Overall I would say the patch is the best option for me out of the 3 methods I've tried."


"This medicine is like playing a game. "Side effect Roulette". It is a quality of life issue. Yes, it may extend your life, but it makes you misearble while you are getting there. Hot Flashes, Severe Sweating, Insomnia, Severe Constipation, NO Menstrual Periods, it has stopped it completely, Bone Pain, Light Headness, unsteadiness, nausea....I fear what I am going to experience next. This constipation HAS to go."


"Dentist took my blood pressure at 218/105, a total shock to me since it has always been low except for white coat usually around 150/90. She sent me to the ER. EKG was normal, and I felt shaky but otherwise okay. 10 mg Norvasc was prescribed and within 2 days BP was down in the 130/70 range in the morning. 6 weeks later it is often 115-125/70 and is rarely above 135/75. I had a strongly pounding heartbeat for a few days the first week, which went away. I was also tired the first couple of days and my legs felt heavy on my daily 2-mile walk -- that also resolved by the second week. It's working for me though my goal is to lose enough weight and exercise enough to eventually get off it. I'm a 62-year old female."


"Ladies, let me tell you this pill works!
My boyfriend and I had the condom fail right during the middle of my cycle. I went to the pharmacy about 9 hours later and bought some. Right after I took it I felt fatigued the whole first day. I did experience some other side effects as well seeing as I have never been on any hormonal contraceptive. I had cramps for the full two weeks until I got my period as well as breast tenderness.
The week after I took the pill I felt nauseous, had sore breasts, sore back, cramps, and headaches. I thought I was pregnant and got really stressed out.
I got my period right on time though despite my stress. My best advice is to just relax and wait it out. Easier said than done I know!"


"So yesterday morning (Sunday) I woke up with a cluster of little blisters on my top lip. This has never happened before. I tried to go to the doctor but they were closed already by the time I got there. I took off work today and went in and they prescribed the 2grams valacyclovir twice a day. I took the first dose right away and the blisters seem to have flattened out already. I will take the second dose tonight. I hope by morning they are mostly cleared up, or at least they clear up before Saturday as I have big events going on this coming weekend. The reviews on here give me hope that it will clear up fast with Valtrex. Wish I would have gone earlier yesterday to get it!"


"Seems to work best when I control my eating habits and give my injections at the scheduled times (twice a day)."


"I had never had a YI, but I recently took antibiotics for strep infection and my boyfriend and I have been using a new lube, I'm no doctor, but I think it was a combination of the two. Anyways, I didn't experience any of the symptoms I read here besides discharge, although my YI was very mild to begin. I experienced a mild tingly burning sensation within the first hour of use. Everything seemed to go smoothly from there. It's been about 6 hours since application and the tingle has gone and there's no itching. For my first experience I'm pleased (as much as I can be for the situation). We'll see how I feel tomorrow! My advice is only use for mild cases, it seems those that have more severe or frequent YI have had the worst experiences. Hope this helps"


"This drug is good for depression but not for anxiety."


"I'm a 28 yo male, with former drug addiction (mainly GHB), ADHD and anxiety/depression related symptoms and treated with Zoloft 100 mg., baclofen 70 mg., modafinil 400 mg. daily and clonazepam 2-4 mg. when needed.

Modafinil helps me to concentrate and focus without the side effects I've experienced with dexamphetamine, dexmethylphenidate and Ritalin® (methylphenidate). It also helps me with drowsiness and fatigue, caused by baclofen.

Although I am a former drug addict, I don't experience any addiction or dependence problems with modafinil.

I'm from the Netherlands, where my  insurance covers the above medications fully."


"I began taking niacin 2 years ago for high cholesterol and after 3 months of taking the vitamin at 500mg/day my cholesterol levels dropped from 260 to 210 with improved ldl and hdl also.  I upped the dose to 1000mg a day and have taken for 2 years with current chol level of 189.

I not only noticed a reduction in cholesterol but began to feel better and happier.  I stopped taking niacin last month and after 1 week started to experience previous anxiety and depression problems that I had been plagued by prior to niacin.  I had no idea niacin was so effective in helping with depression until I stopped taking it.  I'm back on it and have no worries.  "


"Drug works fine for depression, but side effects include twitching, scratching, inability to sleep, restless legs, general restlessness, lack of concentration."


"Serzone is the only one that has helped me and I've never had any liver problems that are associated with it. It makes me feel better right away. Really though I am certifiably depressed and it works. If nothing else works then try this. If the ones you are on work, then by all means don't, thanks."


"So about this time last year, November. I started Harvoni and took it every day for approximately 90 day straight, if it was going to work I couldn't lag and didn't plan to either. I've had hep-c since I was about 14 years old and my life depended on this drug working. So to make a long story short, a year later I'm hep-c free, go to the gym daily and feel like a champ. I even ride my dirt bike at a local track with no issues at all. Thanks for giving my wife, 2 young children, and especially me, a longer happier life."


"So normally I used Monistat because I get yeast infections often after drinking to much alcohol the night before. But I was looking at something a little cheaper and found Miconazole. I've been using it for 4 days so far no complaints it seems to be clearing up my YI. However I do have 3 more days left and I'm almost done with the tube I wish I could finish the whole 7 days. Thats my only complaint. But works just as good as Monistat and it's cheaper."


"Orsythia was the first birth control pill I had ever been on, and for the first 2-3 months I had extreme nausea when taking it, which I was warned by my doctor that that could be a side effect in the adjustment period. I would take the pill at night and made sure I ate something before I took it, but I would still get extremely nauseous. My periods were not affected by Orsythia, but I did notice it helped reduce cramping. The main problem I had with Orsythia was the weight gain, which was a substantial amount. I gained about 25 pounds in the year of taking Orsythia, and I have never gained that much weight in that time span ever before. My doctor is switching me to a different birth control."


"Had period July 9-14, unprotected sex on the 25th (supposed to be ovulating). Bought the pill and took it within 3 hours. Didn't notice any symptoms Anyway supposed to get my period August 8 but it never came I was freaking out bc I had spotting and pain on my right side. Bf convinced me to be patient and wait, 10 days later I got my period with the worst cramps ever! Will take a test soon just to be extra sure but I'm glad this worked when I had my doubts & expecially during ovulation"


"Worked almost right away, walked down stairs without pain."


"The time I was on Trinessa was horrible. I had major mood swings, lost a lot of weight, got really depressed and felt like a total different person. I also got migraines once a week from the start of the pill until I finally decided on changing it."


"It's 2:45 am, I only Wish I could experience these odd dreams everyone's talking about... it's day one of this garbage antibiotic. I can not sleep, I feel like I did 50 lines of coke, I'm sweating, and my mother tastes like a change dispenser.  Couldn't pay me to take a second dose, let alone 7 more days of this.  No way.  Calling Dr in the am for different antibiotic.  This one is not worth it.  I'm feeling very jittery and agitated. And the taste in my mouth is disgusting."


"Well it started in 2014 when I was diagnosed with adhd.... And I could not focus for more than 5 minutes before doing something else and this has helped me greatly focus and calm me down.  We also own a farm and I drive a skid steer loader and drive a tractor, also doing fieldwork takes a good deal of focus and now I can easily do 5 hours of bale loading and not get distracted which is a lifesaver. One downside is that I lose my appetite but not a big deal to me."


"Used 2 bottles of Jublia. Seemed to be working. Then developed very bad side effects. 4 months have passed and I still have the side effects with no improvement. Weeping blisters and rash. Also was not told that it was to be used for 48 weeks."


"Most painful thing ever! Did not think it would hurt as bad as the doctor told mr! However, I do have low pain tolerance, I feel the worst I've ever felt! I think bc I never had a kid. Not something, you take on your lunch break!"


"I am a 20 year old female (yes, 20) and I am taking it for SVT. I take 75 mg twice daily, every 12 hours. Right after I take it, my heart rate increases and I get major anxiety. At night it's when it's worse. During the day, I'm perfectly fine. I also have chest pains and SOB, sometimes back pain. I also have heavy legs. Headaches are a definite. I am not wearing the Event Mintor to track my heart rate. It can get high, which can be scary because you don't know what could happen next. Some sleepless night and early morning wakes with anxiety. It sucks because when I have these panic attacks, I can tell when it's about to start so I brace myself. But I tell myself that Jesus is going to heal my body every day."


"Hello, I had Nexplanon inserted April 2015.  I've been reading these reviews randomly since before I had the procedure inserted. I rated the product overall a 9. It's great, it does the job. I tried the pill first. The pill gets the job done if you are responsible and can remember to take it at the same time.  Too bad I am not responsible. I came to the conclusion to give Nexplanon a chance. The whole process was quick and easy. But yes everything that everyone is saying about bleeding is true. I started bleed about two week after I got it. To make a long story short, I bled for about 3 to 4 months. Lately, my periods have been 2 weeks instead of the whole month. I've had Nexplanon for nine months. No babies."


"I have emtophobia, that is, a pervasive fear of vomiting. I do not know if this affects vomiting, but if I feel nauseous, Benadryl works wonders. My stomach settles right down and my anxiety lowers just enough for me to deal with it without the use of benzodiazepines."


"Slept the whole night.....first time in years."


"So far, I've gained agitation, lower back pain, insomnia, and taste change. I wouldn't recommend this treatment."


"Well I've been taking depakote 250mg twice a day with citalpram 25mg for 10+ years.  It has worked genius for me.  Love it. Here recently, the last month or so it's working so well.  Tried taking Carbamazepine and it through me for a loop.  I had suicidal thoughts again, I broke out in rashes on my shoulders and arms, my face would get flushed and I started my cycle 2 weeks early.  Which my Dr then immediately took me off of it 4 that last reason.   I wanted a bump up from my 500mg so that's why she prescribed me that. Two 300mg pills a day along with my citalpram.  My dr said alot of her patients love it.   I did not!   Lol. I told her I took one for the team.  Now on to try something else.  Shit.  BTW I'm 35."


"I do have extremely severe headaches and this drug tends to give relief more often than not. A bit surprised and concerned about the side effects warnings."


"My doctor diagnoses me with dry eye. Been using them 1 month. My eyes are worse.

From day 1, the drops burn, and make my eyes itch something terrible.  Itching stops about 15 min after each use.  These symptoms have not decreased in intensity in 30 days.

By day 4 on the drops I can't wear contacts.  Within 2 hours of putting the contacts in (daily moist contacts) my eyes are so dry the contacts either blink out or crumble into a folded mess inside my eye & get stuck under my upper eyelid.  First day of use I waited the 15 min recommended after putting the drops in, 2nd day waited an 1 hour &  3rd day waited 2 hours after the drops but nothing works."


"Worst experience ever! Doctor says to push through nausea...yeah not happening! Vomitting violently 20-30mins after taking one 5mg pill!! Nausea, dizziness and many other symptoms worse throughout the week. On day 6 and giving up now. Never have I been so violently sick (vomit) in my whole life! I would NOT recommend to anyone! "


"Worked wonders for sleep but I'm constantly hungry. I exercise 3 times per week to help keep the weight off. If weight is an issue this might not be the medicine for you. "


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"My wife is on this medication. Before the injection her count was 0.7 and after the injection it went up to 15. She hasn't felt any side effects, she has had 6 injections and is working ok. She has cancer of the appendix it a rare cancer."


"I am twenty-two years old and I started taking the pill on the last day of my period (May 12th). I bleed six to nine days later (May 18th - May 21st, can't remember exactly). I also bleed nine days after that (May 30th), twenty three days after that (June 22nd), and today is twelve days since then (July 4th). Every time it was heavy bleeding and has seemed like a period. There has been severe cramping as usual and I feel awful and it's worse because it's happening so much more than before! Each time I have bleed has lasted two to seven days. This pill is frustrating because I cannot tell what is my period and what is the in-between bleeding!! It seems to have worsened my depression, too.."


"Low back pain, leg pain."


"Got a Mirena IUD...6 months later had to have a new one put in because it moved...during the six months there was abnormal bleeding and pain all the time. Had a second one put in and exactly two years to the day I had an ovarian cyst burst on my right ovary, recovered from that and 3 months later which ended up being my next "cycle" my right ovary was in extreme pain. Just had that one taken out and on Levora now. "


"So I had a YI and I bought the monistat 1 cause I used the monistat 3 before and I wanted a quicker recovery. So I used it and I started reading reviews and freaked out.. But I had a great experience, only a little itching and tingling which is normal because it's cleaning you out. Nothing like the other reviews. Just make sure you have a YI. I think the people who had bad reviews didn't have a YI and had some other bacterial infection."


"To everyone worried about taking this because of the awful side effects people talk about: RELAX. Junel was the first birth control I ever took. I have a VERY sensitive system and my main concern was weight gain. My body is so sensitive that I've even gained weight from a natural progesterone cream. I did not gain a single OUNCE from junel. Not one. It did not make me hungry. It did give me a headache for the first few days, but I'm three weeks in and I don't even feel any difference in my body. Please take negative reviews that you read with a grain of salt. Yes all birth controls effect people differently but I honestly feel like if you go into it thinking you'll be fine, you won't experience weight gain, you WILL actually be fine."


"I've had the Paragard for about a month. I've had no problem with it. I had a C Section 11 weeks prior insertion. Insertion didn't hurt other than cramping while they were measuring how far to put my IUD. I had light cramping for about two days and spotting and bleeding for about 5 days which is expected. After that everything was great. Checked the strings everything in place. No problems. Now before I got pregnant I already had heavy periods and paragard does not help with that at all. I can't take hormonal BC due to a blood clotting mutation. When I got my first period after insertion flow was heavy which is normal for me. Cramping on the other hand was more than expected. Nothing I couldn't handle though. I give 9 out of 10."


"I have asthma and believe that most of my conditions are allergy related, however, when I started taking this medication my breathing ability was dramatically increased as much as if I had taken my rescue asthma inhaler. If I miss taking a dose after the 4 hour time as prescribed on the bottle I can tell immediately.  If you have asthma you might want to try this product."


"I use this for neck spams and fibromyalgia.  I was originally prescribed 4 mgs. twice daily, but found out quickly that taking it during the day made me feel like passing out and I couldn't walk without falling; plus, if I took it and couldn't nap, I felt AWFUL.  So, now (per my doctor's orders), I take 8 mgs. only at bed and it relaxes me enough that I'm out like a light within 45 minutes. I do find that I wake myself up yelling at someone I was fighting with in a dream! Scares the bejeezus out of my cat!  Lol.  It really helps me sleep---which has been an issue for years, because of the pain."


"All the reviews are correct wish I wld have read it before I bought it"


"I am reading other users comments because today is the day I have my first Mirena taken out and intending to have a replacement put in immediately. (Hoping it won't be as painful as the first time in Aug 2004 - although this time I might take painkillers before, as some others have reported doing). Of interest to me was the report by some that symptoms started to creep in as the end of the 5 years approached.  I have had significant weight gain over the last year or so but put it down to a more sedentary job, eating out and more regularly drinking wine. I also suffer with clinical depression. Now wondering if both are related to the looming expiry date?"


"I took this med once a day for 1 year. Before being prescribed this med was having migraines 25 out of 30/31 days per month. Birth control pills made the migraines worse. Could not tolerate prescription pain medication, severe vomiting. Lights and sound were not to be tolerated. Emergency Room Shots then available would not stop the migraine, still had to go to bed. Blood pressure would soar during an attack. Had to have suppositories for the vomiting. Could not keep pills down. I don't remember about weight gain; however I discontinued this medication because I developed numbness all over my body. Arms, legs, stomach, hips, private places. I worked a physical job and had many contact bruises where I didn't notice pain on item contact."


"Literally drank a whole bottle of the grape within a day bc my cough was so bad. (Also have tried the orange) Im 18 and this is the first liquid medicine that I don't need to chase it with juice or something, the taste is VERY bareable. Worked pretty well and helped me sleep without my cough waking me, which was my problem. Did give me a lil funny poop but not "explosive diarrhea" maybe I'm just able to control my Bowels unlike the other people here...."


"I agree with everone else regarding the intense itchy feeling and pain right after inserting the cream, but it gets better after about 20 minutes. The trick is to use anti-itch cream or anti-itch wipes right after you apply the cream. These wipes were heaven-sent.

My obgyn suggested the 7 day treatment because it's not as irritating as the 3 day one.

This product works despite its annoying side effects so do not stop using if you can. After 1-2 treatments, the itchiness stopped during the day."


"Tried a sample of Maxalt that the doctor gave me for the first time today and could not believe the results. Within 1 hour the migraine was gone and within 2 hours I was back to normal and working. This is truly a miracle medicine for me. I also take 100 mg of Topamax daily so that has really cut down on the migraines but again the Maxalt was a lifesaver for me today. I am worried about my copay after reading some of the post on here but I do have to say that I think it will be worth it."


"Took 2 weeks to work- but it DOES work and I am so happy."


"This is a fantastic medication for strep throat. Only downfall is the vaginal discomfort. I find taking a pro-biotic pill 2 times daily while on it prevents the discomfort."


"The first few days were hard for me, very groggy and giggly, and my husband says I was totally useless but I was smiling, and then the fog lifted.
It doesn't make the problems in your life magically vanish, but instead of freaking out over everything, I now only get upset when a "normal" person would, I now have healthy natural reactions to things. I can deal with my problems. I don't see problems in everything, everywhere. Aropax changed not only my life drastically but the lives of everyone who cares about me."


"Awful.  I was on the real Ortho Evra for years.  I lost my insurance and had to switch to the pill.  Finally I got insurance and it covered the patch.  I had one glorious month of Ortho Evra back and then came Xulane.  While I was paying for Ortho Evra out of pocket, I always wished there was a generic.  I was excited to try it... but then I did. I've gained 20lbs over the past year after staying within a 5lb range for 10 years.  I eat healthy and exercise consistently. I've had absurd levels of anxiety, had a decreased sex drive, and constantly feeling dry.  Most importantly, the patches don't stay on.  At least 1 out of the 3 per month will fall off at least once.  What is the point?"


"I tried taking Pristiq for 6 days.  The side effects were so bad I could not function.  I could not work, eat, or sleep and felt nauseous. My vision was blurry. My mouth was so dry and my appetite was non existent.  I only weigh 111 lbs and I do not need to miss a meal.  I have stopped taking this medication.  I was taking 50mg and this is the first medicine I have ever taken for depression. "


"I've only been on it for less then a week and it Has been horrific!  Like truly a nightmare.   I'm nauseous all the time.   I haven't really eaten anything since I started it.  I've suffered random headaches,  extreme depression and anxiety.   I want to rip it off but my period was short and pleasant and I've only had it on for 4 agonizing horrible days.    I wonder if it gets better?"


"I'm not sure I can do this medication.  I feel dizzy and extremely of it. I'm on my 3 day, hoping the side effects go away. But my appetite is definitely curbed."


"Avonex is good because it's once a week; the Pen makes it so much more convenient.  Unlike my experience with Copaxone and Rebif, I have very few (if any) site reactions.  I have used Avonex in all it's forms (powder you have to mix yourself, prefilled syringes, and now the Pen) and the Pen is the only one with almost NO flu-like side effects!  Love it!"


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine

"2 year old had a coughing spell for about 45 minutes. Gave him water, and a few sips of apple juice. (Thinking he may have just been a little dry mouth/throat). After that, I decided to give him a 1/2 tsp of dimetapp as he was still coughing. 15 mins later he started seeing bugs. This went on from 2:a.m. til 5:a.m. He was inconsolable and hysterical.  Don't recommend this for any child."


"I spent years on pain Meds and found my self always in the same cycle after a while I would need a dose in crease becuse it wasn't working anymore.

I have 5 small children 3 of which are 12 month Triplets that my husband and I conceived naturally and completely unexpected.

I couldn't drive the kids to their school or go to the grocery store without constant fear that if I were ever in an accident while on the pain Meds I would never forgive my self and be in a lot of legal trouble.

I switched to methadone for pain almost 3 years ago.

You never need a dose increase and you can drive on it. I find that taking my methadone in the am and not having to worry about any thing else for pain all day is really amazing considering I have my hands fu"


"Have been on the highest dose started at lowest for have lost 20 pounds, less hungry. Stops working after a time for weight loss but feel I need it to not feel overly hungry. Very expensive no insurance coverage. Mixed feelings. Weight loss is not great but have lost some down from 255 to 235."


"I was prescribed Luvox for anxiety and panic attacks.  Initially Luvox just made me tired.  After about 2 weeks it started making me feel depressive.  Continued taking it for about 2 months, the depressive symptoms only got worse.  I had to discontinue medication because it caused depression for me.  Did not help for anxiety or panic at all.  When tapering off I suffered severe nausea and headaches.  Didn't work and has bad side effects."


"Had ulcerative colitis/Crohn's Disease for 20+ years.  Was on sulfasalazine, taking prednisone for flare-ups.  Switched to Lialda 3 years ago.  It had fewer side effects, but did not control my condition.  After 2 serious bouts of anemia (one hospitalization and 5 units of blood), my doctor decided on Humira.  That was 6 months ago.  No side effects at first, but recently got a sinus infection (congestion, coughing, very sore throat).  Took prescribed antibiotics, but it won't go away.  I felt better while taking the antibiotics, but the symptoms returned after they were done.  Hope this is not a sign of things to come!  Decreased ability to fight infections, right?"


"I have cervical stenosis,  multiple disc  herniations,  fibromyalgia and myofacial pain syndrome, etc since teen years. 38 now. Been to several pain clinics and docs on meds, narcotics but none helped me like avizia. I take 90mg plus 10/325 percocet as needed for break thru and it helps so much. I have only constipation and I take amitiza for that, I'm happy my insurance covers it."

"I had a life changing event and I noticed that I was not able to "balance" work, home (mom) and other things. I've been on Zoloft for almost 2 yrs. And thank goodness! I don't think I would have handled what I did as well as I did had I not been on it. I don't really notice any side effects for me."


"I have been on suboxone (since january 10), for opiate withdrawals and I am having panic attacks. I was prescribed catapress this month (the end of june, 10) with my suboxone and day 4 on it so far so good! It makes me sleepy and very mellow, calm like. I assume its doing its job, I only have taken it at night. I haven't had to take it for a panic attack yet."


"I have been able to swallow within 2 hours of taking my first pill"


"I had taken the medication at 10 last night about 8 this morning had severe cramps and nausea and sweaty. And again at 10 had a liquid bowel movement and now at 11 sitting on the toilet I wanted something for relief and this isn't a nice relief more like a killer one to say the least. Would I recommend it ummm sure if you like excruciating cramps and constant nausea and very loose stool."


"Hey guys I am back too tell you this pill works. Omg I got my period 6 days,early prefect time because I have trip this coming next weekend! Just make sure you get your asses  on brith control!  Projected sex is the best! Do not have sex for a month when you first get on brith control u got too let it get on your system. I have been on all kinds of brith control for 10 years. Ladies I made myself sick and worrying. It's hard not too but I calm down finally. Be safe ladies. Think wisely. I wanted too share with you guys. I am so excited!"


"Had little effect on Benign Prostate Hyperplasia symptoms.
Dosage 1mg at night."


"To me Xanax was a lifesaver. In August 2011 I suddenly collapsed and was in hospital for 2 weeks and then had about 6 months of tests which I was finally diagnosed with vestibular lesion which is ringing in ears and balance disorder due to a problem with nerves. I was only getting 2 hours a night sleep on 5 Valium due to this and my body would just jerk most the time iI was about to go to sleep.I was starting to think life not worth living. I came across Xanax with my friend giving me 0.5mg early 2013 and i had my best sleep in 18 months. I spoke to my doctor and he agreed in my situation that xanax would be helpful as it does calm the nerves so 42 months later still taking but now been on 1mg for past 18 months and now have some life."


"The side effects of this medication far outweighed any benefits.  I honestly didn't notice any decrease in migraines or other types of headaches.  Besides that, I couldn't eat a thing (lost tons of weight), my face felt numb, my hands and feet tingled, and I was so tired during the day that I found it impossible to be productive at work.  Plus it makes you forget words!  I know another girl at work who went on this and she's fine!  I guess I just couldn't tolerate it.  My doctor ended up putting me on Cymbalta and it prevented migraines for me.  Cymbalta is a great antidepressant because it has given me no side effects whatsoever!  And normally I get the sexual side effects from them (I've tried a lot)."


"Didn't like this pill at all!! Made my anxiety and depression increase a lot. I was sad and emotional all the time. Only on it for 1 month and I couldn't take it any longer so my doctor recommended i switch. Thank god I did!"


"Hi I don't know why people leaving negative comments
Me and few people I know take these and we haven't had any problems with it

Key  tip for people - drink loads an loads of water
Keep warm putting hot water bottle on your stomach that  helps
Well it helped me anyway

Try taking it A hour before you go to bed so in the morning you will be cleared

But the biggest tip is water
Warm water helps too

An I love these every two weeks I take these just to clear stuff up  an works wonders"


"For all you strugglers out there, there's an amazing drug called Seroquel.  It will put you to sleep in an instant each and every night, I promise you.  Just be careful what you wish for.  The side effects are killer.  I'm going onto Belsomra in a few days.  I long for all the side effects you complain about.  I think I would lie awake for a month if it meant I could get off Seroquel.  But I sleep like the proverbial baby.  I thought I was the only person in the world who suffered this much "

"This drug has IMPROVED my grand-daughter's life 100 %. Words cannot express my gratitude. She now is living up to all that she can be and do and the family is loving it. "


"Didn't make me tired at all.  About 20 min after taking it the horrible taste kicked in. Water doesn't even taste good. It's awful. "


"I've been taking this medication for a long time. 10 yrs..!! I wasn't warned about the memory problems,   or any way of becoming addicted. I can happily say, it has helped me, I even went into agoraphobia stage. Also, from my own personal experience. Be very careful in taking this medication. I actually saw, for myself, how bad the memory problems can be. When I experienced that. I went to my Dr an said, I wanted ween myself off, but slowly, not stupid either. I've have been addicted to this medication, but u have to realize, our brain, our mind, is powerful than we give it credit for.  I was using 0.5mg 6-8 times a day. I'm now, down to 3 & a half times per day, I'm getting better again"


"My doctor put me on this because my nose gets stuffy when I lay down and they didn't want me using Afrin. I've been on Flonase almost a week and I notice no difference. Sprayed each nostril every night....nose still stuffy. I can't sleep and it's going on 3am and I have to be up at 7. Nothing clears my nose as good as Afrin but it's bad for continuous use. So this stuff doesn't work."


"I was on Zoloft for about 5 years. Before that I was on Effexor and Paxil which I did not tolerate well due to the half life. Zoloft was good but after several years I developed side effects. Tremor, jaw clenching, weight gain, sexual dysfunction...I weaned myself off of all meds which was really hard. It's been nearly a year and I'm ready to go back on something. I've tried natural therapies for SADD, PMDD, depression, anxiety and it's not working."


"Update...Started Saxenda on 02/01/16 down 32 lbs this AM.  Minimal side effects, certain foods make me nauseous, can no longer eat potatoe chips without feeling ill, but that's a good thing!  I think that a slow, steady weight loss is best.  Best advice is to take it day by day and don't get discouraged if you don't have a quick weight loss.  Eventually you will reach your goal and because it has been slow and steady those new eating habits will stay with you and you have a much better chance of maintaining your goal weight.  Good luck everyone!"


"My experience with Opana was great.  It really gave me back at least 95%. After 3 Failed back surgeries on my disc low back along with both knees which my knee surgeries were helpful. I also broke my back at same time along with my neck injury which I was diagnosed with a extreme strain of my neck. Which my doctor gave me a 50% chance of success so I decided not to have and live with the pain. Although when Purdue pharmaceuticals decided to completely change the formula when making the 40mg Opana my life changed for the worst. I haven't been the same since. Believe me because I have tried every medicine on the market since 1993. "


"WOW, I just blew $350 today. I have Advanced Sleep-Wake Disorder. Fall asleep early, wake up before midnight, say 3 hours sleep at best over one year. SO, doctor said Belsomra was a good med so I got my 30 day supply.  Well, asleep at 7PM and awake at 10:25 PM... Couldn't tell I even took the pill since I have no trouble falling asleep, just can't stay asleep and wake up like somebody slapped me... Geesh, I don't even have some of the silly side effects mentioned either... I'll try it for a week, then my wife says out comes the skillet.  I don't see this medication doing anything, probably end up making me more awake...."


"My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD in May 2009 on her 8th birthday.  She was put on Concerta and we immediately noticed a difference.  We have had to increase it a couple of times but there has never been a negative side effect. She even noticed the difference in her ability to focus at school and at home.  It has also helped her to maintain her friendships (she not as annoying). I am satisfied with how Concerta has helped my daughter."


"I have literally zero side effects. Copper toxicity is non-existent with the IUD unless you have a specific disorder that you would know about way before getting an IUD. I feel sorry for people who believe in that kind of nonsense.

I chose this method because I have a clotting disorder. If I didn't, I would get sterilized, but I don't want to risk the clotting that sometimes comes with surgery. My insurance, Ambetter from Buckeye Healthplan that I purchased on the Obamacare marketplace refused to cover the cost of the IUD despite it being pre-authorized and in-network, so that was the only bad thing."


"I switched to this from Junel Fe because I was hoping to help my acne and weight gain (gained 10 pounds on Junel). I only took the pill for five days but had to leave work early two days and went straight to bed by 6pm every night due to a severe headache and overall feeling of lethargy and dizziness. I felt short of breath by day two and it remained until I quit taking the pill. I also had extreme anxiety. I got severe allergy type symptoms by day two and felt feverish. I stopped taking Yaz yesterday and already feel better. No headache today, no feverish feeling, no anxiety. still congested but no feeling short of breath anymore. I also noticed that I gained 2 pounds in the week I was on Yaz. Yikes! I have not changed my diet at all."


"Too many side effects for a drug that didn't help me sleep."


"I'm a paraplegic and was on pain meds for the first few years after my accident but I'd been off for many years. I'd been put back on pain meds, methadone, for joint pain, back and neck pain. While it has cut the pain you DO NOT WANT TO BE ON THIS unless you have no other option. The withdrawal is long, muscle spasms, thoughts of dying, cramps, night sweats, etc. It also caused fluid retention in my legs and abdomen while taking it along with MANY other side effects."


"I used to have a lot of problems with my bi-polar. I was self medicating with marijuana. I started taking Zoloft and things worked well, although once I had a major manic episode and lost all my money. Ouch!"


"I had my Implanon inserted June of this year. I bleed non stop. Since I was put on Implanon I've had really bad anxiety and my sex drive has gone down. I have very painful menstrual cramps which I can't even stand straight. I'm getting it removed in two weeks."


"I was prescribed Provera for 10 days at 6pm every day.  I have had no period since my early 20's and then it was only on meds.  I have long history of hormonal problems and have been diagnosed with Amenohrrea as many of you, and I have been in and out of IVF specialist clinics while they all tried to sell me theirs since and no one would actually help or give hope to concieve but they were all quick to  say that I had premature Ovarian failure however, I never gave up and found a Dr. a fertility specialist and although I am over weight, have been found to have thyroid issues, and have a thin endometrium with high I repeat high levels of Estrogen. I was prescribed this little pill aka Provera.  So ladies do not loose hope, ask God & trust!"


"I have been on minocycline for around 3 weeks. In my 1st week I felt fine and saw some improvement on my face and back. For about three days in my 2nd week I had bloating, gas, nausea, and generally just had a upset stomach. I also had a breakout on the side of my chin where I've never broken out before. Come week 3 I have noticed all my existing pimples starting to heal and disappear as well as no new pimples however my back and shoulders have gotten worse. My stomach has also started bugging me again. In general I am happy with the results I see on my face but not so much my back and shoulders. However I am contemplating discontinuing use and seeking alternative treatment from my doctor. To me the discomfort from the side effects is too much."


"Along with a VLCD, hcg appears to be very effective. It was manageable, but such a restrictive diet that typically goes along with using HCG as a diet supplement is hard. Its definitely not a diet for the weak!

That being said, it seemed effective. I lost minimal muscle, even though I lost a significant amount of fat/water."


"I started off at .50 mg then to 1mg before bed.  I had many issues going on in life and I was having trouble falling asleep.  This helped in the beginning, but my dose is going up and up. I admit, I take this more than I should, so I understand there's an addictive nature to this.  Just be careful, and talk to your doctor if you notice that.  The best part of this drug; I get a good night sleep and I'm not waking up 3x a night."


"Its the only thing that has really worked to help the pain in my back, following an auto accident."


"I was told I have genital herpes by my gynecologist after suffering with several outbreaks. I began taking Lysine after extensive reading & it seemed to work. My "working" dose when there is no outbreak is 1,000 mg daily.   I was negligent & let my supply run out & last night had a horrible outbreak with much pain. Today I restocked & took 2  1,000 mg. tabs and then another 2 about 6 hours later.  I can already feel the difference and I will never run out again !  Lesson learned!  Chocolate is a definite trigger for an outbreak for me."


"This birth control seemed fine at first, but 10 days into it I started feeling not like myself--bad mood swings, feeling breathless or winded even when sitting, my blood pressure would spike for no reason, and I felt extremely sluggish.  One day I even had mild heart attack symptoms.  My body definitely did not react well to this medication."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Had been taking Atripla for 6yrs w/out ANY side-effects. Doctor retired and new doc suggested i switch to Genvoya as he said the risk of liver damage was greater w/ Atripla. I switched.  ALL OF THE FOLLOWING issues began occurring within the past 6mths. However, none of these symptoms were ever attributed to my Genvoya ... until now.
* Numbness in my left arm and hand. So much so that I sought advice of a neurologist.
* Difficulty swallowing. PAINFUL!!! It feels like my esophagus just STOPS and won't push the food down. Upper GI scope found nothing.
* EXTREMELY and easily irritated/agitated
* Nervousness / anxiety
* Frequent sudden mood swings
The last 3 issues drove me and my loved ones crazy. I was NOT myself."


"I've been on Depo for 6 months now, it's almost time to get my third shot. After my very first shot I had no bleeding at all for two months, just random cramps that were kind of annoying. Then at the third month I spotted very lightly for a week, then bled normal for about a week, then bled really really heavy for a few days. Then it stopped and I got my second shot. Two and a half months with no bleeding after the second one, then spotted lightly for over a week and no heavy bleeding. It seems to get better so I can't wait for the bleeding to stop completely. Also the only other side effect I have noticed is increased nervousness/anxiety. I have had a few anxiety attacks at night and I thought I was having a heart attack but it was nothing."


"I've been using Belviq for 3 days now and I will admit I was afraid to start using Belviq because of the reviews I have read. Especially being a single parent with a 2 year old, I wondered if this would be more stressful or if it would help. I do have slight issues with headaches, but it's not unbearable and taking tylenol takes the edge off. I've experienced both bursts of energy and a little drowsiness, again, nothing that's not bearable. Overall I would say I like using Belviq. The fact of taking the medication makes you more aware of what needs to be done in order to be fit, but it really does curb the appetite. I take it with food, and so far I've lost about a pound a day"


"I've been suffering from onychomycosis on my fingernails for good 4 years. Sadly, in first 3 years, we tried alternative medications, creams etc. which didn't help. Finally, I went to another doctor and she prescribed me Lamisil after running blood tests.

My nails have massively improved since early this year. My fingernail which was 90% covered in dead tissue is now only at about 20%, and it actually makes me feel better about myself because it's got so better I don't have to hide my fingers anymore.

Before using Lamisil, I've been using Loceryl for about a few months and even now, whilst using Lamisil, I use Loceryl from time to time.

Side effect: loss of appetite in last few weeks. Food isn't as appealing to me anymore."


"My two friends got the Nexplanon implant one month before I did, and they had no complaints so I decided to get it as well (Jan 17), now it is April 17 and I could not be happier with it. The three of us (all 20 years old) all got our periods once (which were slightly heavier than usual) and since then our periods have disappeared!!! We have had no side effects, cramping, or depression which we experienced while on the pill. I have recommended this to so many friends- not having your period is amazing."


"My cardiologist took me off Lipitor 2 weeks ago-my cholesterol is great after being on a low carb diet. Previously my body was covered in bruises at all times which I had attributed to other medicines(Plavix and aspirin) I Just realized I am bruise free for the first time in over a year. Conclusion: it was the Lipitor causing the problem. "


"This pill did tremendously help with my cramps and lighten my period. But I  have thought I  was losing my mind since I  started it. Very depressed all the time,  extreme highs and way more extreme lows, my skin has never broken out like it has since starting this pill, I've gained almost 40 pounds no matter how I cut back and exercise more I can't get rid of it (something I've never had a problem with), my hair is literally falling out,  I'm so achy and sore all day everyday, and I don't even know what sleep is anymore. Funny enough I didn't connect any of these symptoms to this pill even though it all didn't start until after I started this pill, it was just another sleepless night on the net.  I'll just deal with the cramps, not worth it"


"I rated it a 3 overall for ME. It'a a 10 and  worked great for falling asleep, but I had the sleep walk issues too.  I read many comments about the sleep walking, cooking etc.  I also did this along with other crazy things.  I'm fortunate I didn't hurt myself or someone else.  I live alone and my point is DO NOT take this without someone else in your home."


"I took alli for 2 days and now I pee blood so bad I am so scared , I stop taking it right away, will not take it again"


"My son's doctor gave him this to try. It's pretty much the same as Adderall. I didn't see a big difference in his behavior compared to generic Adderall. There's not much point in paying a premium price (no generic) for the same effectiveness as his usual med."


"Day 1 so far not feeling anything different besides tired right now. I have major depression never been on medication for depression before.  I am gonna write a review the next couple days so people can understand what to expect from it."

"Slept like a baby, no cough."


"I have OA in my hands, knee, and spine.  I have been taking Celebrex for over 12 years.  I have slightly high blood pressure.  It could be from Celebrex but the benefits of Celebrex outweigh the possible side effects I have experienced.  I am having a second spine fusion in a week and have to stop taking Celebrex, per my doctor's request.  I have read more positives to keep taking it through and after surgery...I dread going off it because I will not be able to use my hands.  Celebrex improves my quality of life and I recommend anyone with severe arthritis to give it a try"


"This medicine has saved my life. I take it along with other medicines of course, but I can really tell the difference in my level of anxiety. Would recommend anyone with unrelenting anxiety to try."


"Metformin is helping me drastically in that it controls my insulin resistance.  First side effects were gas and diarreah, and some bad breath, but those have gone away.  I recommend this to anyone who has sugar problems!"


"I have been using Mirena for about a 1 yr now and I've been waiting for the awful symptoms to go away but they have not. Acne, tired, bloated, nausea, cramping, headaches. I've also gained a lot of weight I thought the symptoms would go away but they haven't so I'm seriously thinking of having it removed. Everyone's body is different and I am sad it didn't work for me. I'm thinking about just getting a tubal. I already have two little boys and I'm pretty sure I'm done having kids."


"I'd get a mild headache within fifteen minutes of taking this and the intensity of the pain depended on the dosage."


"Began Complera May 2013 after having been on Atripla. Positive since 1992. Both medicines have kept my viral load undetectable and T-cells above 700. Both have their side effects; but for now I'm sticking with Complera. I take Complera after dinner; hours before sleep (to help as much with insomnia. Doctor has prescribed Ambien). The side effects of Complera I hope work themselves out overnight. As for gas and bloating I have a glass of Metamucil every morning. And each day I live with a positive attitude, or as normal as possible!"


"I just finished my first pack of these pills and I have been on my period for two whole weeks straight with no sign of it stopping. I don't know what went wrong but I hope I get regulated soon. Otherwise, I have had no side effects. I have read mostly good reviews about this pill so hopefully it works wonders once my two week period ends."


"I caught a really bad flu (maybe H1N1 - it was going around in my city). It started with a dry cough which led to violent coughing within a couple days. Violent non-productive cough, where I got coughing fits that went on for about 30 seconds,  which is really long when you're coughing.  Anyway, I had chills and a fever and muscle aches and sweating.  A few days later I lost my voice completely for 9 days. My regular doctor didn't give me anything. So I went to another doctor the next week when I could barely breathe. The doctor told me to go to the ER. I asked the ER doctor for Z-pak as I knew it worked on me when I had pneumonia before.  Amazingly, Z-pak started making me feel better after 2 days. After the full course, I was so much better."


"Had a severe UTI that didn't respond to Macrobid or Ceftin. My doctor ordered a shot of Rocephin, this is a miracle drug! The horrible pain I've had for over a week was gone in a few hours. I would definitely recommend this and would take it again even though the injection was a little painful!"


"Age 51. Went to get my regular bloodwork with my Doctor. My cholestral has always been >200 and have a family history of Heart Attack and stroke. I tried everything over the years including Crestor which was an absolute disaster for me after only 4 doses. Since then tried the natural methods Red Yeast Rice (may as well be on a statin the side effects are basically the same) and lots of fish and Krill oil. I was disappointed that my bad cholesterol was high after all that still and my number was 219 total. Based on my unwillingness to try another Statin my Dr. suggested a 500mg pill of Niaspan to be taken nightly. I have experienced no flushing as yet after a month on it and really no bad side effects. New blood results 192! Will check back in 3 mos."


"I purchased the "overnight relief" ones. I took two pills that night and the next day still got nothing . So I took 3 (which it said you can do) because I was terribly constipated (I have IBS-C). I got quick results within 10 not even 15 mins and passed all my stool but that was around 3pm ... it is now 12:13AM and I am still in absolute pain and discomfort . I cannot move around without  starting to feel the abdominal cramps surface up. I am experiencing nausea , and also hemorrhoids now as well.  I may have to go to the ER because I've never experienced this type of pain from a laxative before ."


"I have been taking MiraLax for 2 months now due to constipation and hemorrhoids such a blessing to me! Before MiraLax,  I used a Docusate Sodium for 6 months and it stopped working for me which caused me to be constipated again and it was leading me to extreme depression.  I used MiraLax and it has not let me down at all!!!  I love it and I highly recommend this to anyone who is suffering from straining and constipation!!!  Thank you MiraLax :)"


"I am surprised to see that no one had listed furosemide for treating high blood pressure.   I also take Atenolol.   However, when I increased my furos from 20 to 40 I was very pleasantly surprised to see my BP go down from 140 to 115.   I did this on my own and my Dr. was surprised that I had such good effects on my health and continued this dose.  I take 20 twice a day.  I has also had a good effect on my urinary incontinence which also is much better now."


"no side effects, gentle but efective. Feelings of relief began a few hours after the first pill."


"It has been a month today since I got it and I love it. My periods usually last 5 days and I was on my third day when I got the implant in and I haven't started my period yet"

"I took this medication as directed as preparation for a colonoscopy.  It did not work."


"My anxiety came out of the blue.  I had been suffering from depression and waited until I was close to rock bottom before seeing a psychiatrist.  He put me on Zoloft and for about 10 days I convinced myself it was all getting better...then WHAM! I started waking up with panic that was overtaking my entire body! I took Xanax just to go to sleep for an hour.  A counselor tried to get me to do breathing and muscle relaxation exercises but I was too anxious to concentrate.  I had to take off work because I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT FUNCTION! My Psychiatrist just put me on Klonopin 1mg 3x a day.  That's a lot but hopefully I can taper off soon & the Zoloft can do it's job. I can now think clearly and not panic at the simple thought of bathing!"


"Me again. 5 months later on Subutex. I now need two 2mg and my tramadol.
I still have pain. It seems my back condition has become worse. (MRI shows no bone problems) Strange as for a few weeks it was better and I needed less pain relief. I'm upset by this pain and I'm on Gabapentin and benzo's on top of this lot. This just slows down my breathing and makes me drunk. Still, I'm in severe pain. I do not know what to do now. "


"I have started this on 11/9/2009 for my sinus infection. Day 4 felt better but still have runny nose and stuffy right ear, ringing in ears. Hope this goes away and I don't have a repeat. 1 more day, I have had nausea but not sick. Not sure if I can take anything to dry up runny nose with this. If I can get rid of runny nose and ear ringing I hope to be okay."


"This is the best medication by far. I was originally given this medication for migraine headaches but in the process it has helped me with my severe back pain. I can finally sleep through the night. The best."


"I recently had child number two at age 22 so I dicided to try a new for of birth control was on the pill for two years but got pregnant on it so I got the shot on November 18 and started bleeding on December 1 and it now December 6 and I am still bleeding I am a bit worried seeing that its my first time on the shot I have a little mood swing and lost of energy and lost of appetite. I don't think I will get another shot if the bleeding doesn't stop soon and the cramps r painful. I got the shot cause I was told there would be no period and I am still bleeding"


"I was very ill on methotrexate for 10 weeks, nauseous,weak,pain in my chest. I was told I would get used to the side effects. After 10 weeks in ended up in ER vommiting blood requiring blood transfusions. Methotrexate was very dangerous for me and has destroyed my stomach.

I found minocin very helpful until I pulled out infected root canal.... Instant relief. No pains now."


"This medicine has been life changing!  After 20 years of dealing with the dry mouth, dry skin, dry eyes, dry scalp dry nose that results from taking Ditropan, I finally can have control over my incontinence (due to Spina Bifida) and swallow my food without needing water to help. I only gave it 9 stars because of the $85 co-pay but so far it has been worth every penny. This medicine controls my bladder better than Ditropan and I have had zero side effects."


"At the end of the first month my period was very heavy. My bleeding was still very heavy after day six of my period. I am now very worried and if my period continues l will remove the device when l go for my six weeks check up. This is an unexpected experience and l am not happy with the Mirena device at this stage. As l type this message l am still bleeding. What an awful experience."


"I've been on contrave for about 7 weeks now. I've lost roughly 33lbs. In the first month I easily dropped 20lbs. I eat less than 1400 calories a day, but I am extra aware of what I put in my body as to not be unhealthy- lots of protein, steamed veggies, and staying hydrated. All that being said, I will say the side effects were murder for me. I had/have pretty much all of them on the list of possibilities. Nothing that I can't handle though, nothing overly severe....I just wouldn't call it a 'fun' experience. I exercise regularly, but the majority of  my changes have been to my food. It pretty much takes away superfluous hunger, so I only eat when I truly need to. I'm so happy to have found something that works."


"I take 400mg at night. I have really bad anxiety do to my past and never sleep. I would go days with no sleep and vary bad flash backs that caused me to panic. I was In a constant state of panic. Along with no sleep this is a vary bad thing. I now sleep every night my anxiety is down along with other meds. I have gained weight but am glad for this. My normal weight was 100lb as a male this was to small I am now average weight of 135. This med has changed my life."


"Depo was fantastic at doing what it was intended to do - control birth. However, I was on this for 4 years and gained at least 20 pounds. I was also bipolar and cried over everything. On the plus side - I only had my period 4 times a year right around the time of my next injection."


"Trouble sleeping,stomach pain,headache,constipation,fever,"


"I've been on this pill for about a little over a year and a half, I have had a very good experience so far, I never got headaches, pain or any of those things. It cleared my skin pretty well but after a while it stopped but I never broke out crazily my breasts grew a little and I still PMS and get minor cramps but my period is still heavy but shorter by 4 days so I'm not going to complain! I hope this birth control will continue to work for me just as well as the months go on."


"Woke up at 1:30 am yesterday with a horrible headache, severe body aches, chills, and low grade fever. I felt like I was going to die! I recognized the symptoms from having had the flu 2 years ago so was at acute care when they opened at 8. I was tested positive for influenza B and prescribed tamiflu. I took the first dose around 10 and felt nauseous because I took it on an empty stomach. I took the next dose with food and felt better. I felt almost completely better by my third dose that I took this morning and by my 4th dose I am completely without symptoms."


"Only been on it for a week and am feeling extremely miserable. It's hard to describe but the only effect it has had is a couple hours after I take it I get this unbearable mental discomfort where I feel both exhausted and restless at the same time. It's driving me crazy! Other than that, it's had no other effect, positive or negative."


"Taking this medicine is like taking speed ?
Totally shaking and can't sleep heart racing and just plain miserable?  Don't get it "


"HORRIBLE! Do not use. I bleed about 10-20 days each month and sometimes this happens back to back. I have had Nexplanon for 18 mos and its not worth it. Acne, random hairs growing on my chin, and the bleeding is beyond irritating. I would rather get pregnant than deal with this nonsense. Never again, I have tried several forms of BC over the years and this is by FAR the most annoying. Save yourself some time, it's NOT worth it."


"My doctor had prescribed this for me because my anxiety ramps up when I'm trying to sleep. He started me out at 25 mg/day. While on it, I would sleep 16 hours, be a zombie for the 8 I was awake, and have really trippy dreams and terrifying nightmares - both of which felt 100% real and some of them I had to ask if they happened. I was cut back to 12.5 mg/day and I'm only sleeping 12 hours and groggy for four. I still have weird dreams, but they don't seem completely real as often.

I have not been on it long enough for my body to adjust, so this may lessen as time goes on.

It does help with the anxiety and panic attacks, although I won't drive after I've taken it so I can only take it at home."


"Suffered for over 5 years with this rash on the soles of my feet, mine has the blisters, scaling, unbearable itching, redness, inflammation. Nothing worked till I found the MG217 coal tar gel...this worked immediately!! Got instant relief and the rash is now clearing up! 5 YEARS!!!! So glad I heard about this product, I tried everything else!"


"I have been on Nucynta for 1 1/2 yrs. I've had major problems with pain meds. Vomiting, not sleeping to very high liver counts. I've had 4 surgeries on my wrist in 3 yrs. 1 being a internal amputation of the ulna hump & approx 3" of bone. Picture that hump in your wrist & 3" of the bone that is attached to it gone. Bone hitting bone, pain I wouldn't wish on anyone. My PM put me on 50mg x 2-4 times a day. For the 1st time in 14 yrs I'm almost pain free. I'm going this week to have the dosage increased. I had to stop working and I never thought that I would have a normal life or be able to hold my grand kids. Now I have 6 grand kids and I spend everyday with them. I can even pick them up and hold them. My newest is 8wks old. Nucynta saved me."


"My 25 year old son was prescribed this medication for his aggressive behavior and inablity to concentrate. As a child he was diagnosed with ADHD with aggressive behavior. His behavior only worsened as he got older and was not on any medication. He was unable to keep a job and was always in trouble with the police for fighting and just unable make good decisions. After starting Abilify he has had a steady job for 6 months and his agressive behavior is gone. I have my son back."


"I was on Kariva for years before I started Yaz. I'm so glad I made the switch! I am less irritable, less anxious, and my mood swings are gone. I knew that before my period I would get sad for no reason, feel unmotivated, and my anxiety would rise. I would prepare for it, like clockwork. I don't have to do that now! I feel so much better since taking Yaz. My energy is up, my ability to handle stress is better. Not to mention my face is glowing! My nails and hair have grown so healthy. My breasts have even grown a cup size (back to what they were before having a child)! The only negative is that my breast were tender the first few months of taking the medication (they're fine now)."


"I first got the Skyla inserted in November 2016. After the insertion I checked the placement pretty much every day, and noticed I could feel plastic and not just wire. About a week after initial placement I got to the doctor to check and he replaced it after trying to get the original IUD back in position. The placement both times was mildly painful, no worse than my menstrual cramps.
Three days after the replacement I got my period. This lasted for 11 days. After this my periods on average last about 8 days. Before they never lasted longer than 5. I have now had the IUD for 10 months and have given up on my period going away. I primarily got the IUD as easy birth control that I would not have to think about. I am considering other options."


"Hello all , my esperience with lexapro is very good , first of all i head extreme panic attack all days , extreme anxiety extreme weaknes . After one week of taking i feel more powerfull no panic attacks but anxiety is still there i hope in few weeks anxiety will be gone"


"This medication was/is horrible.  I have been on every medication in the book.  My doctor decided that it would be a good switch from cybalta (120).  I was taking it for major depression/anxiety as well as back pain.  I am in a very advanced anatomy class and my anxiety went up.  This is not unusual for me, as I have a general anxiety disorder....My doctor pushed me to try brintellix to help with my cognition.  I took for two weeks (making my way up to 20 mg), and have been miserable.  Crying, unbelievable anxiety, throwing up, no sex drive.  Today I had enough.  I told my doctor I was done with it.  It has been a terrible experience."


"I started taking Suboxone, 6 years ago because I was getting off of Roxy's. I heard, at the time that it wasn't hard to get off of and was a way better choice than the roxys. Little did I know that what I was told about getting off of the Suboxone was easy was a COMPLETE LIE!!!!!! I regret the day I ever started taking them! I've tried numerous times to wean myself off, only to fail MISERABLY! I also have tried to medically detox but of course you know what happened.. FAIL.. If you are thinking of trying this or Subutex PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT... It may take a week to a week and a ½ to get over the withdrawals of roxys, Loritab, even oxys but getting off of the Suboxone/Subutex takes at least 3-6 months.."


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


"A lot of the reviews on here are scary, but I think it must be personal chemistry that decides if this medicine will work for you or not. I've been on it for 2.5 years and I didn't really have any physical side effects. I maybe had some breast pain when I started it, but cutting down on caffeine cured that. I do have anxiety, but I don't think I can blame this pill for that, it's kind of just my personality. Overall, this pill has just done it's job for me."


"Have had chronic insomnia for 10 years. Had always Ambien. Great drug. Worked great no side effects.Went to a new doctor and he gave me these pills, awful!!!!!! Does not work and feel awful the next day. They should be banned!!!! Haven't slept a wink in 5 nights now!!!"


"I've been prescribed this medicine a few times for a reoccurring infection. I hate it, it makes me extremely nauseous. The first time I took it I made the mistake of attempting to take it with just water, I threw up immediately. I then decided to try to with yogurt or pudding and they worked great the trick for me is to put enough yogurt or pudding on the spoon and push the pill to the center because if the pill touches my tongue I'd throw up. It's best to take it on a full stomach although it still seems to make me nauseous. I was prescribed promethazine with it one time and it does help. "


"This pill is awful. I had to take it twice a day and had to prepare myself every time because the taste of it is horrid. If taking you definitely need to eat because I took it on an empty stomach one afternoon before a lab class and nearly fainted in class. I began to sweat profusely and became incredibly nauseous. My vision became blurry and my hearing dulled. I could not focus on anything except for not dying in the middle of class. Thankfully it passed in minutes but still was enough to shake some sense into me to eat when taking these. Other than the taste of the pill and the side effects of taking it on an empty stomach, the pill was fine. My symptoms cleared and my lady bits returned back to normal"


"My periods were fine. I was ovulating, had normal blood flow, slightly heavy cramps. I started this pill for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome symptoms. While it did clear up my skin a little, it has made me borderline suicidal. Within 3 days I started hating people, crying at the drop of a hat, becoming irrationally angry, entertaining thoughts of suicide and becoming severely depressed. I would be losing weight since I have no appetite, except I'm so bloated it doesn't matter. "


"I was diagnosed with a rare form of Lupus (as a teen) 24 years ago, 6years later with Raynauds and fibromyalgia. Over the years, I have tried many pain medicines, some have helped and some haven't, but most have had multiple side effects and/or interactions with my other necessary medicines. In 2004 I was in the hospital while I was out of remission and I had a slip and fall, this accident resulted in three herniated discs. Since then I've been taking Avinza 120mg, with Vicodin 10/650 for breakthrough pain and I can honestly say, this is the best pain coverage I've had in 24 years with only 1 side effect.... constipation, which Miralax takes care of."


"I have been taking Ambien for 2 weeks now. Ambien works great and also helps my anxiety.  "


"Had a constant yeast infection and 3 urinary tract infections in the two months I was on it. I was so thirsty, I would drink a gallon of water at work. I urinated every 20 minutes. My bladder was sore if my belly was touched. I really tried and wanted this to work. I did lose about 12 pounds and had energy. But I was depressed from constant "female Issues". It just got worse and worse. I took myself off this pill and am back on Metformin XR. Waiting to see my doc for the next plan of attack. This did not work for me."


"This is a great medicine. The first 2 days I felt ill on it nausea mainly and I find sleeping incredibly difficult but don't mind so much as I don't feel bad for it the next day. It's also making me dream a lot but overall I feel great and have much more of a will power to do everything. I started on 18mg and on Friday I go up to 36mg so see how they go."


"Something really bad happened to me 14 years ago that caused trauma to the urinary tract.  Ever since I have used Bactrim on a regular basis to flush out my bladder and urethra of bacteria because my body does not do a sufficient job through urination. If you take it on an empty stomach, it will make you feel really sick, but the medicine is awesome and I highly recommend it."


"I started the patch on Friday.I felt fine Friday night, I woke up Saturday morning and felt okay, as the day progressed, my nausea got worse. Woke up Sunday feeling okay but around 11pm the nausea came back, I had a headache and my saliva was really thick. I went to bed that night feeling horrible not getting much sleep. Monday I woke up feeling extremely lethargic, I ended up having to leave work early because I thought I was going to pass out. I went home and slept most of the day, Tuesday morning spent by the toilet and called my doctor. Who told me to take it off if it continued, I just took it off 30 minutes ago and I already feel better."


"My doctor switched me from Acacol HD to Lialda after I lost my insurance and needed a less expensive substitute.  I was worried because I had grown accustomed to Asacol and did very well on that medicine.

After a few days of adjusting to Lialda, with no real problems or side effects (just a little gas during the first 48 hours), I feel fantastic on Lialda.  I've been on Lialda for about 5 months now, and feel as good, if not better than I did on Asacol. I have fewer headaches that I did on Asacol and feel great less stomach cramps.

Best of all, for me or anyone who is on the go during the day, I now take one Lialda tablet, twice daily (once in the morning, once at night). This is compared to two Asacol tablets THREE times daily."


"I have been on opioids for about 5 plus years for chronic pains... After a couple of years of using miralax(joke), and several herbal blends and stool softeners.... I asked my dr for help... He gave me Linzess 290mcg ... I've been taking it on an empty stomach in the mornings for 2 weeks, and I haven't even noticed I've taken anything... Except for a little bloating.

Linzess should NOT be given for OIC (opiod indused constipation) As it is useless. I will be asking for something else... Maybe relistor? It has preloaded injectables now.

Has anyone had any experience with it? I'm desperate!!!! The worse my constipation the worse my body pains are. I'm convinced it's related. I have fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, neuromyofascial pain,etc."


"I tried the free 2 week supply of Belviq. I did not notice a thing. It did not
curve my appetite.  I kept waiting but I did not lose any weight. It costs over 200 dollars for 30 day supply."


"Day two... I have taken 2 gel caps and it has not helped. Itchy roof of mouth. Unable to breathe through my nose, it is completely stopped up. Symptoms are worse than yesterday. Eyes are red, itchy and teary. I a cannot sleep. I do not recommend."


"Wellbutrin XL helped my depression tremendously.  I wish I had started taking it sooner when my husband became ill.  It also helped me to lose about 40lbs.  I contributed to the weight loss though by changing my eating habits and working out.  I started out at 150 mg, then a couple years later went to 300 mg, then just recently my husband passed away and the dose was upped to 450 mg which is the maximum.  I haven't started the higher dose yet, and am a little scared after reading all the side effects.  However, I never had any negative side effects with the other doses.  Time will tell.  I will get back to you all about the results."


"Nuvaring has worked just fine for me. I stayed the same weight but I will say it caused me to have a major breakout which is abnormal for me. That was setback #1. The 2nd was, my period is 2x's more painful than it normally is. I will say I struggle with painful clotting periods when I'm not on birth control. I plan to start using the ring back to back and simply eliminate my period all together. I was afraid to use this method but it ended up being great."


"It took few days for it to start working. I'm taking 2 pills a day. First few days felt bad cramps but after that it felt like a complete cure. No bathroom trips, gained weight, I can eat anything without feeling bloated."


"I still get slight headaches once in a while,  and use Excedrin Migraine with the Topamax, but its nothing compared to what I had. The side effects go away and the ones that don't, you get used to. I still have memory problems, so I had to lower the dose."


"This medicine gave my 7 year old and his schoolmate a serious case of the Hives. If this happens to you, stop taking it and Benadryl will counteract the Hives."


"I've had Mirena for 4 years now. I have managed to have one if not two periods every month. I spot for several days every time I have sex. My PMS has gotten worse. Thank goodness my fiance loves me because I flip out on him once a month. I accuse him of neglect, cheating, lying, etc. And I know better. I do not recommend this product."


"I had great success at doses of 200-400mg. Anything above that and I black out an hour after taking it. I found out later I had been writing belligerent texts, yelling at my children, and verbally abusing my wife. Im going to ask for 300mg since it helped my insomnia, and made me content and happy the next day.  All without the horrible side effects listed above.  I have tried Geodon, it gave me severe tachycardia, and yet made me too tired to function. A horrible inescapable feeling as the tachycardia made sleep impossible. Zyprexa just made me fat and gave me restless legs so bad I couldn't sleep. Seroquel is best by far, but have your loved ones monitor you."


"I had these  injections two years ago in my right knee i have been pain free ,but my left leg also started with the same symptoms recently so i went back to my doctor got my confirmation i was a candidate and i just finished my third injection today i must say its helped me regain 100% control again thank you so much..❤"


"My son is 13 years old and has have been on Adderall for about 6 years now and was recently switched from Adderall XR 15 mg to Adderall XR 20 mg. Today is his first on the 20 mg. So far he noticed a large difference in the effects. He said when he was on 15 mg XR for 2 years and he didn't even notice his attention span had dropped and his grades had also been, He said felt no effect whatsoever from 15 mg. The 20 mg has a noticably large increase in effectiveness . For the first time in months he feel back to normal and refreshed. He said never knew my body could grow a tolerance to a medication so quickly. I am curious if every dosage will get weak like the 15 mg. I don't want to keep elevating the strength for him as I'm worried it is bad for his health."


"I take Ultram for ongoing back pain - works great. Does not make me tired like Percocet or Vicodin- very few side effects."


"I've been on this birth control for 3 months. It's making me crazy. My periods have been 10x worse than they were before I got on the pill and they were bad! I stay home from school every time I'm on it because I can't handle them and I get horrible headaches while I'm on my period. My acne has been getting a bit worse but I hear it gets better after 3 months? I am going to stick with it for another month and see how it goes but let's just say it's hell right now."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for 15 months now. First 30mg and then six months later up it to 60mgs/day. It was prescribed to me for clinical depression.  It works for the depression and I also noticed it has worked very well for anxiety also.  My MD and I have discussed that I probably have had this anxiety disorder for some time and curtailed with the depression, Cymbalta has done well for both.  Side effects are weight gain (5-10 lbs), and bad withdrawal effects if you miss a day or two - headaches.  Otherwise, the medication has worked very well and I feel like I can live my life again."


"I gave this medication a 10 for effectiveness because my UTI symptoms subsided completely after the second dose. I'm still taking this medication and have two and a half days left. Since starting my doses I have experienced nausea, extreme fatigue and muscle weakness, shortness of breath, sensitivity to heat and a loss of appetite. I can't wait till it's over. After reading all the reviews it seems this medication makes everyone sick. It did seem to clear up my UTI, though,  which was worse than these symptoms, but not by much."


"So I've had the birth control for almost a year now and at first I liked it. I wasn't getting my periods, and now I'm a mess, I'm emotional over nothing most of the time and get mad so quick and I'm not like that at all. Lately I have been having discharge. It a light cream color and itching like crazy . I don't get my periods still I just have the after math of them. (the brown ending) but wait there is more. I'm nauseous and dizzy constantly. And I have also noticed a "fishy" smell. I figured it was a yeast infection but they don't smell. I have been with the same guy for 5 months and have had 6  partners. I didn't have any of this wrong with me until I got this birth control. Definitely having it taken out."


"I took Cytoxan through an i.v and it knocked my Wegener's in remission. I am having a flare up and will begin the Cytoxan orally tomorrow. I am praying that it has the same effect."


"Helps me sleep better but still not great. I continue to wake up many times through out the night but at least can seem to fall right back to sleep and not just lay there. Gives me a headache a few hours into the next day after I wake up and seems to last for a while."


"I started on a low dose 5mg of Vesicare for OAB.  Worked by third dose.  Its working really well for me, no more accidents, no side effects.  I take mine with dinner as the evening was when I was up and down to the toilet, which was difficult as I have Rheumatoid arthritits and by the evening I don't want to be getting up and down and can not do so quickly.  Also my Goldie dog tends to somehow always be laying in the wrong place when I'm in a hurry LOL.  I notice it can make you drowsy and I have been sleeping really well and thats not because of not having to get up at night when in bed as that wasn't much of a problem anyway."


"After 16 years of opioid and heroin addiction I had tried everything. Methadone for 3years and off and on suboxone for 8 or more years, i tried hard to get off suboxone and it was horrid withdrawal so I relapsed on heroin.  When I knew I might die if I kept it up, I put myself into a detox and planed to leave after. Stayed for rehab and the vivitrol was suggested I went back and fourth with my decision because I still wanted to drink. Finally I decided to get the shot. Side Effects: muscle spasms, constant stretching that felt great,  decreased appetite, weight loss. The interactions with my 3mgs of clozepam are hard to explain. It's a high definitely but not one I like to much. If I take Bental for the stomac cramps I get really dipped out"


"I have been on plenty of birth control methods.. From the ring, patch, IUD and pills. Nothing seemed to work , then (as a health care professional) I decided to research and try Norethindrone (ortho Micronor) .. This was the best decision, sharobel and Micronor are my favorites! No weight gain (like I've had on others), no anxiety issues/depression..sex drive is the same. I will NOT go back to anything else! I'm so grateful "


"So far Zovia hasn't really been too bad as far as breast tenderness goes but it has made them big.  My system is so messed up that I ovulate on birth control pills, so I'm hoping that Zovia will stop this since it's high in Estrogen."


"I have been on this medication for three weeks and have lost 18.8 lbs.  No more cravings and no side effects at all.  Loving it!!!"


"After taking doxycycline for a while, my body became resistant to it, so my dermatologist switched me to Keflex for acne. I think I had at least five bowel movements the first day. Eventually, my digestive system became somewhat regular, but then I started getting headaches on a regular basis. It cleared up my acne somewhat, but it was definitely not worth all the side effects. "


"I've suffered with Irritable Bowel Syndrome all my life, got worse in adulthood. Mixture of constipation and diarrhea. I'm now 6 months pregnant, got no more IBS cramps, but painful gas that doesn't pass. I took this for the first time in my life this morning at 9 AM. Took 30mls as suggested by the pharmacist. Only ONE hour later and I'm having bowel movements and a lot of wind. No pain or cramps for once! Only thing is it's been non stop toilet runs for 10 hours. "


"I have smoked for 29 years and I went through the first treatment of Chantix and that was it. I stopped on July 12, 2007 and never had another cigarette. After a while, a cigarette will be one of the most horrible things you've ever smelled. Chantix is one product I will stand by no matter what anyone else says. You'll have me to argue that."


"Have been on Avastin since December 2008 and have had very positive effects.  I am off chemotherapy for the first time in 2 1/2 years and have been in remission since the 1st of February.  I feel like a new woman and I have not had any side effects."


"My son just started this 2.5 weeks ago. He is 9 with ADHD and odd. The medication works fine for symptoms. Yet I'm concerned because he has developed a tic where he constantly taps his legs and sometimes hits them with his fists pretty hard and twitches his eyes. We are going back to the doctor for management. "


"The first day, I experienced some nausea. Now? I have a sore in my mouth that popped up out of nowhere and one side of my bottom lip is swollen. I'm so sick that I can't eat anything and have zero appetite. I keep getting the shakes and chills that weren't there before starting it. I suffer from anxiety and anxiety is a common side effect with this medication - so now my anxiety is through the roof and it's also caused severe insomnia. I'm constipated, have terrible muscle spasms and cramps in my legs. I've never had an issue with a sulfa drug before but after this I will definitely not take one ever again. It's not worth the side effects/allergic reaction"


"I live in the UK so I get Maxalt free on NHS. I suffer from migraines a lot, and before I started taking Maxalt I would get minimum of 4 migraines a month sometimes more. These would last a whole 7 days with the first 24 hrs being hell! Its hard to explain to non-sufferers how painful these are. All of you will know what I am on about. Couldn't believe how amazing Maxalt was, didn't even reach the painful stage but it was totally gone. Works every time straight away for me. I take it along with codeine also prescribed. Tiny side effect, cramps in tummy but goes away within 30 mins. Worth it though!"


"Glucophage XR 500mg or 1000mg Tabs (I either take 2~500mg Tabs in the Morning and 2~500mg Tabs with Dinner/Supper, or I take 1~1000mg Tab in the Morning and 1~1000mg Tab with Dinner/Supper.)
I Totally Love this medicine. It's been one of the best medicines that I have ever taken to help keep my BLOOD SUGARS UNDER CONTROL! "UNLIKE THE GENERIC METFORMIN", THAT REALLY MESSED ME UP,  AND WAS MY WORST NIGHTMARE!  NOBODY WOOD LISTEN TO ME! MY DOCTOR'S, MY PHARMACIST'S, THE EMERGENCY ROOM, MY THERAPIST, MY PSYCHIATRIST, AND ESPECIALLY MEDICAID, AND MEDICARE PART D! SO AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE I QUIT TAKING GENERIC "METFORMIN", AND A YEAR AND HALF LATER  THEY PUT ME BACK ON GLUCOPHAGE XR! LIFE BECAME WONDERFUL AGAIN!"


"Im 23 years old and have been taking Aubra for 6 days. I have had terrible headaches and have broke out in hives all over my face and arms. I immediatly stopped taking this birth control and would not recommend it."


"On the package, it clearly states, that of the view of the medication does not like it shows in the booklet, then discard it. So far in 6 weeks, I have had to throw 2 pens away. A very expensive procedure for me. Is there a method to recover the lost money or replace the defective pens?"


"I was prescribed Zyban by my physician to aid in quitting smoking. I was super excited to get it because I would finally get the help I needed to kick the habit for good. I read some awesome reviews and was confident this would be it.
I was instructed to take one a day for the first few days and then begin taking one twice a day.  I felt ok at first but once I started taking two a day I began to experience side effects.  Headaches, waking up feeling hungover, extreme nausea, confusion and fogginess, muscle tenderness and definite weakness... almost as if my brain was telling me I couldn't move if I tried and I became literally too lazy to try. I was super disappointed, it just wasn't for me. "
