"Third day on Wellbutrin and so far so good except for the side effects. I get headaches, angry and snapy over silly things, ringing in my ears. Those are the main side effects, and they're inconsistent up and down all long.
I feel mentally alert and creative. And actually look forward to doing things. I haven't felt like that since I was a kid! Oh and my sex drive has increased. I found to be eating more food on this probably cause I've been more creative cooking in the kitchen. Just not sure if I'm into be angry/ snappy with my toddler around. Hopefully that side effect subsides."


"Have been on Victoza for 1 1/2 months. Have lost about 10 lbs which is good for me. BS is great now I am at 1.2mg.  My only real complaint is that I get very sleepy about 2 hours after the injection. Have mild constipation and occasional nausea after 2 weeks. Initially had bad nausea. I am real pleased with how it is working for me so far."


"I  have been using the Implanon for the past 9 years. I had my first one inserted in 2005, I have not had any huge issues with the Implanon and it has worked tremendously ~ still child free. Some small issues that I have found over the past 9 years is that I will very rarely have my period but when I do it is extremely heavy and can last for upto 1-2 months. I am due to take my 3rd Implanon this month but I am unsure if using another one will lower my chances of conceiving a child when I am ready. Hopefully I will be having a fourth Implanon inserted."


"I was switched to Blisovi after my other generic was discontinued.  I was on it for two months before realizing that it was almost certainly the cause of the severe anxiety, depression, and mood swings I'd been having for two months.  There were days I couldn't function because my anxiety had gotten so high, and nothing was actually going on for me to be anxious about.  I finally realized that it started pretty much right when my BC got switched so I'm going off of it now.  I have never felt so miserable in my life."


"I have had 13 back surgeries since 1997 after a car accident I also have a spinal stimulater in me. I take 20mg Oxycontin four times a day and 10/325 Percocet 5 times a day. My pain stays about the same, some days I can't walk. "


"I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis.  I had no side effects with Forteo, just completed my 2-year regimen in February, 2013.  In July of this year, I tripped over a curb and fell onto a concrete sidewalk.  I hit very hard, on my cheek (lower part of eye socket), shoulder, knee, and bent my fingers backward as I landed.  X-rays showed I suffered from NO broken bones, only soft tissue damage.  I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to experience the benefits of this medicine."


"I took Zyprexa for approximately 4 months for bipolar disorder.  The only real effect I've received is lethargy. "


"Been taking cartia xt, 120mg twice a day since 2011 for pvc's, pac's, occasional svt, and non-sustained a-fib unrelated to the chest pains I get quite frequently. It helped a lot, but the doctor recently upped my dosage to 180mg twice a day for chest pain that I am now experiencing from coronary spasms due to a myocardial bridge diagnosed via catheterization! Hopefully, the increase in dosage will stop all these terrifying spasms."


"I've had skyla for about 5 months now and I have to say I don't love it. The insertion process was not as bad as I thought, despite the crazy reviews. Once I got it however I had pretty intense cramps, lower back pain, & other period symptoms for at least a month. I am used to very painful cramps and I can usually handle them but it was honestly a nightmare. My immediate reaction to this was to get it removed but I thought I was being a bit rash and I would just leave it in and give it a fair shot. As time went on the cramps did subside and my body felt better but still not back to normal. I also noticed I was beginning to break out a lot and I've had clear skin my entire life. Not only was I breaking out but it was also painful to have sex"


"My 11 year old son just started taking Vyvanse 1 month ago and I can already see the differences in his grades. He would study and do homework all week and not retain any of the information and fail test after test. Since starting Vyvanse he has passed 3 tests. I wish I would have started him on it earlier. Downside - upset stomach if I dont make him eat right after taking it. So on our way out the door we have a vyvanese and a Trail Mix bar to coat the stomach. He gets a full 7 hours."


"Latuda {120mg.} made me VERY RESTLESS couldn't sit still for more than 5 seconds, didn't interact good with my other medications."


"Some muscle and bone pain, but nothing unbearable. Weight gain....joining a gym. The closest thing to a hot flash is a pin prickly sensation. Overall happy with with this so far...9 months down, 51 more to go."


"I have been on this pill 2 months cons I am sick to my stomach everyday, I throw up at least once a week and pee like every 10mins. I also get headaches towards the end of the day. So I started taking my second pack before I go to sleep to avoid these symptoms no such luck. Pro's barely has a period last month waiting to see this month. I will stick it out for another month, but if nothing changes I'm changing it so far I'm very disappointed I was so excited for this pill"


"I have been taking seasonique for about a month and a half now. I have noticed my breasts are larger but they are also extremely tender. So much to the point that I cannot sleep putting pressure on them and wearing my bra is starting to hurt. Also my skin has broken out more than it did before I started taking the pill. I'm haven't decided if I like it or not. I think I will finish the prescription if my breast pain ceases."


"While Rozerem is effective for getting and staying asleep, I am spaced out the next day with a strange feeling that, even though my body has had a good night rest, I still want to go take a nap at periods through the day - not a normal tiredness, but a drug induced grogginess that comes on suddenly.  Also, hard to focus my attention the next day.  I went on this because Ambien gave me short term memory loss though I had no grogginess the next day on Ambien.  The best result for me is to just sleep naturally with whatever hours I can get."


"I had have valium for 4 years for anxiety and panic attacks. It works in the beginning but the last 2 years had been a hard struggle with witdrawal symptoms and it is a drug that is really powerful and will make u addicted to it. It is so hard to stop with valium and the taper had take almost 2 years!!! I have 40 mg in the beginning and is now on 11,25 mg. Will continue ten mor weeks. Thw w/d is the worst thing I ever felt. It makes me so sick. And I dont wish my worst enemy this. Never start with a benzo if u dont want to destroy your life fpr ever. In Sweden the smallest amount is 2,5 mg, we dont have fluid so I made my own titration. Valium had stole 2 years of my life ..."


"Getting it put in was super easy and painless although I was sore for a few days after. It's super convenient since now I don't have to remember to take the pill. At first I experience a bigger appetite and a bit of weight gain but after a few weeks that stopped. I would say it does cause a good bit of mood swings. I got my period the first month but since then I haven't at all. All in all the good outweighs the bad."


"I took this for a bladder infection. It took 24 hours for me to notice any improvement. I am on day 4. I had 20 minutes of mild nausea one day, but that was the only side effect. Not as bad as others, like doxycycline. Surprised to find this didn't make my yeast infection come back, or cause any other unpleasant side effects."


"I took Concerta from 3rd to 11th grade, then again for about a year right after graduation, I ended up forgetting to take them for a while and just started taking them again. For me it takes about a month to actually feel the full affects of it. One thing to keep in mind though is that it doesn't help you focus on homework or work...it just helps you Focus, whether it's on homework or your emotions."


"This birth control insertion wasn't painful at all for me. I got it inserted May 31 2017. I spotted after it got put in and I've been bleeding ever since. I don't know when I will stop bleeding but I hope it's soon. I love it so far. It's like it isn't there. It doesn't bother me. I just wish I would stop bleeding."


"I have been using different muscle relaxants for the last 3 years or so, and by far Flexeril is the strongest and lasts the longest.  There's also Robaxin as well which I think is the weakest one of all the muscle relaxants. "


"I'm halfway into my second month. I've been on my period for more than 2 weeks. My acne is horrible now. Worse than ever. I hate this pill. It does keep me from getting pregnant, but that's not what I wanted completely. I have endometriosis and acne prone skin. My gyno told me it'd help, but it totally hasn't. Can't wait to get something different."


"(July 17, 2013) Just received my second Depo-Provera shot yesterday. I am very pleased with this form of birth control because it is so quick, convenient, and nothing has to be done before or after sex. Personally, my only downside is weight gain. I've gained about 10 pounds and have a love/hate relationship with my newer curves (although I must say my boyfriend doesn't seem to mind them). I have not gotten my period since starting the Depo but only some light spotting a few days before I was due for my next injection. Overall, I am happy and will continue using Depo-Provera for birth control."


"Increases my heart rate and did not help me sleep. If I take it early in the day it helps with anxiety but it is supposed to be a sleep aid. Since it affects my heart and I am near 60 it is not for me."


"When I was 13 my periods started to go mental, they would occur every 2 weeks and last for a week and they were so heavy I'd bleed through a deluxe night pad in an hour. I would spend school days in with the nurse either because I'd be in agony or I had just fainted. I wouldn't be able to sleep either as I'd constantly had to change my pad. My Mam eventually brought me to the doctor and because I was so young they didn't want to put me on the pill so instead she prescribed Cyklokapron . At first I had to take two 500mg tablets four times a day now I'm down to twice a day and it's great. My periods are still heavy but manageable, I'm no longer severely anemic I only get week long periods once a month. My periods no longer ruin my life."


"Hair loss, persistent headache"


"I was addicted to Oxycontin and cocaine for 7 years, which eventually put me in jail for crimes involving theft for my next fix. While I was on house arrest my doctor recommended a local methadone program to help with my withdrawal symptoms and recovery. I started methadone 5 years ago at 100mg and it took me a few months to finally stop using oxy/cocaine while on methadone. I then moved up to the private clinic where you go when you are clean for 3 months. I have been clean for 4.5 years now and I am down to only 10mg a day. I plan to be finished with methadone in about 4 months. How I did it? Dropped all my so-called friends and did not associate with anyone who abused pills. Basically I became a loner who took up a new hobby that interested me."


"Tramadol saved my life. Fibromyalgia had just about taken my life away. I was constantly in pain, tired, and often in a mental fog. It was causing major problems in my marriage, because the pain, fatigue, and fog made me a horrible husband and father. I wasn't doing my part around the house because of the pain, fatigue, and lack of cognitive clarity. My wife was resentful, and rightfully so. I finally ended up in a Doctor's office in tears - I told him I was "crazy". He said I was not crazy, I was ill. He prescribed tramadol and Cymbalta. My life has completely changed: no pain, no fatigue, and no fog. My life and marriage are restored, and we are happier than ever. Daily, I thank God for a good, knowledgeable doctor, Cymbalta and Tramadol."


"This stuff is absolutey amazing. I never could wear anything but black because I sweat so much in my armpits. I started using this a couple years ago. When I first started it I had to use it once every couple weeks. Then only once every 6 months and now it's been over a year and I don't have to use it and I'm not sweating. It felt like it saved my life in a way. I'm so happy I found it."


"I been on sertraline hcl 25 mg for a long time and it helped me through the car accident that mom and I was in. I was still taking sertraline when my grandma died  and it helped me get through the toughest time of my life. Sertraline makes me a brand new person out of me. sertraline is the best."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Terrible flavor!  Works good if you can actually finish the first dose.  Dreading the second dose!!"


"I took this pill for almost 1 month. I've tried other BCs but never had more bad side effects than I do on this pill. I was extremely nauseous, light headed, dizzy, un-motivated, VERY tired, irritable, I would black out daily,  I started breaking out (never had acne before), also it messed w/ my vision. When trying to focus on something (like reading or writing) my eyes would strobe in and out of vision and shake uncontrollably, it would last about 5 seconds and come about every 3-5 minutes.. I am 18 years old , 5'6 and used to weigh about 118. after starting this pill I lost 13 pounds which left me feeling weak and looking terrible. Headaches are bad too! I've never had health issues but this really messed me up, I do NOT recommend!"


"I got my nexaplan about 6 days ago through plan parent hood the insertion. Wasn't bad I been feeling on and off dizzy spells I do suffer from panic disorder but that another story its too early to give a fair rating I hope this works out"


"I've been on this birth control for about a year and I'm not kidding each month have freaking sucked like I'm seriously on my period for 12 to even 20 days at a time on my period. My doctor told me it would get better so after a damn year it still sucks.DO NOT GET ON IT. I have friends who experinced this as well. It ruins my life I hate being off my period for only a week out of a damn month."


"I am on the 7th week of using this product. At 28 and having always suffered hormonal acne breakouts l, I was desperate to find something to be rid of my acne without using contraceptive pills.
I used Epiduo at night, spreading sparingly and only on the affected areas. Yes it's gets dry, but it does clear the spots. Week by week my skin appears better, then not so good, then better again. I'm persevering as it's recommended that over 8 weeks it will improve. I feel positive about this product, it hasn't caused burning or redness but can be slightly itchy against my pillow so I apply early evening and sleep on a clean towel over my pillow.
I would recommend this product but be sure to give it time."


"Horrible effects on teeth. My teeth are literally falling out and disentergrating!  I am scheduled to have full mouth implants."


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


"I have Polycystic ovarian Syndrome and pleased with the results from this. It does give me anxiety. I do meditate though. It gives me a dry mouth so I drink TONS of water all the time. I gave up dairy and soda on this medication. I eat veggies, fruits and healthy good portions through the day to still make sure I am getting the nutrients I need and taking vitamins. I was taking this with metformin which made my finger tips, toes, cheeks, lips tingle and give me a headache and feel like I got off a motion ride all day long so the Dr had me stop taking Metformin while I was taking this. Even though THIS pill is what causes those symptoms taking metformin with it made it more intense for some reason for me."


"I'm thrilled with Cosentyx!! My doctor made me try the other one, Taltz, and I got horrible injection site reactions from it. Cosentyx started clearing my skin after the first injection and by a month, I was almost clear for the first time in years! Swimsuit here I come!! Oh and their plan brings my copay to zero and it's not based on my income. Did I say I love this medicine??"


"I took this for nicotine cessation.  At various times, I have used chewing tobacco, snus, nicotine gum/lozenges, and most other alternatives.  Over time, these seem to not satisfy my cravings.

On day 4 of this, and "magically" I have no physical urges for nicotine in any form.  No physical withdrawals of any kind.  This is amazing to me, since I was a pretty consistent user of nicotine in some form or another.

I have taken to chewing some (regular) gum or eating nuts or licorice or something, which I suspect is for the oral fixation of having something in my mouth.  I will work on this.

Based on my initial 4 days, I plan to be entirely nicotine free in the next 2 days ( I read it takes 72 hours for it to leave your system entirely).  I"


"If you're having night terrors (you find yourself in an awakened state sitting on your bed after a bad dream or bad pain) this is THE medicine.  I've used as little as 2 mg to control this condition but I find 6mg to be the right dose for me. Taken at night or spread out during the day and then 2mg at night I've had wonderful success. I've lived with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder since childhood (almost lost my life in a house fire). I have many other health issues most stemming from obesity. I hope this helps someone else as this is truly a miracle."


"It worked for me, but I get aggravated easily and have a short-fuse.  I began taking Chantix in April 10 2011, stopped smoking altogether on April 12 2011 and stopped taking Chantix on May 20 2011.  Today is August 29th 2011 and still not smoking but wanted to know when the side effects might stop."


"I can't say I was happy with this medication I feel like it didn't help my acne what so ever. If anything it actually broke me out more than I usually do and it gave me black heads on my nose. Not cute! Everyone is different I feel like for my skin this was not a good fit. Onexton is drastically better for me."


"Drixoral worked. Nothing in the drug store works like drixoral did.  I'm tired of trying different brands to find what works because nothing does.  If there is such a demand for it to come back then bring it back in its original potency but have it be prescription only PLUS patients must have a documented chronic sinus condition"


"I'm a 19 year old male. For majority of my life, I've always suffered pain in my spine usually my upper-neck and lower back, later to find out that I have 1-2 herniated discs and 3-4 bulged discs in my C-spine neck alone. This caused constant pain but I was never given anything but low dose oxycodone at best and because of my age NOBODY would prescribe it..if they did it was a blessing but never more than once!

I recently have just broken my back - my lower back that has always been in pain as mentioned above - and broke a vertebrate disc, fractured 3 others, and chipped another, all in my L-spine (lower back). The chipped disc actually I believe was in my neck where my spine pain.

DILAUDID WORKS FOR PAIN ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE OPIATE TOLERANCE."


"I am on day 6 still waking up with panic attacks. I have been able to function a little better but have major nausea and  jaw pain. "


"At first I thought lexapro was helping but the only positive aspect was that it slightly helped my thoughts not spin out of control but not enough to keep taking since the side effects were awful! Weight gain, bloating, and others but the worst was that I could NOT hold still.  I was constantly moving and restless physically!  It drove me and everyone around me insane. Coworkers complained, boyfriend complained. It was a nightmare and also NO sex drive. Got off.  Feel fine. So much better."


"My blood pressure topped 175/92 to 212/107, and my headaches were awful. Been on Tekturna HCT (take in the morning) combined with Exforge (in the evening) for a week and huge difference. Very low blood pressure and swelling from arms, face, and feet is going down. I feel much better, not so anxious, but I do feel a bit lethargic too. That might be because it is combined with Prozac. I am hoping I will get more energy as time goes on, but actually get sleep and not up and down like I was."


"Started taking this for depression when I was 17 (16 years ago). After about a week, I had a massive panic attack that lasted for 2 days straight and I've had a panic disorder ever since. Medication destroyed my life."


"After trying various over the counter sleep aids (Benadryl) and prescription sleep aids (Ambien, didn't work unless I used in high doses, in which case I hallucinated), Doxylamine works! I used to have to take 100 mgs/ 4 Benadryl, in addition to various prescription tranquilizers/benzodiazepines for insomnia.  Can't believe how quickly it works.  I still have to take 50 mgs in addition to a prescription tranquilizer, but after years of OTC medicines not working, I can't believe how well this one did.  Don't recommend 2 pills/50 mgs for most people.  I'm very difficult to sedate."


"I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks.  I am on day seven and haven't noticed any improvements, my anxiety  was increased and I am experiencing some dizziness.  However I am going to let the pill take it's course even though it's been hard to continue on it.   My dad took the pill and had success with it so I'm hoping that's the case for me!  Most of all just think positive that it will work! You will get through this! :)"


"I started this for some severe anxiety due to a phobia (flying). I went from having a constant "adrenaline" kick feeling (all day every day), occasional difficulty breathing and some crying to now very calm and relaxed. This has been amazing. It did make me feel very sleepy and yawning a lot when I started it, but I would say about 2 1/2 weeks in that went away. improvements in my anxiety were noticeable within about 3 days. no drugged up feeling.. just much calmer. working for me really well."


"I took this particular kind of birth control because it is suppose to be similar to Yasmin and my health providers covered it at no cost. I suffer with mild acne and zarah made it worse. The only time my skin would clear was during the off week I wasn't taking. I also think zarah may be the cause of gaining around 10 pounds. I tried zarah for about 4 months and saw no improvements."


"It works but I am taking low dose because it decreases appetite."


"Since I've been on Concerta I've lost 9 1/2 pounds within the three months. So far I've had to go to the hospital because it has caused me to have bad anxiety. Also I can't eat, I can't sleep. Although it makes me sick everyday and I have depression, my grades have gone up. So I guess it helps with something."


"My dr prescribed me different creams & pills but nothing helped to clear my acne. My dr then sent me to a Dermatologist who prescribed me Epiduo Cream. It took around 3wks before I started noticing the changes. Using the cream burnt my face a little bit in the first wk but has not done it since. I have now been using Epiduo for almost a yr. My face has never been so clear, and very rarely do I get a pimple. I found the best way for it work for me, is I shower ever night & only wash my face with Gold bar soap. I then dry my face & apply the Epiduo very sparingly. When I wake in the morning, I use a flannel and wash my face. I do not use any creams, makeup or moisturier."


"My Dr gave me a sample of this medicine to try and it works good, however it takes me a while to fall asleep and it gave me a hangover effect the next day! Liked the sleep it gave me but I had a hard time waking up the next day."


"I began using this as an anti-aging method along with Obagi Hydroquinone for dark spots. At first I used it every night but almost immediately my skin dried up. It was embarrassing and felt uncomfortable. I went down to using it every two nights (so Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday for example) and within two days my skin returned almost to normal. There is still a tiny bit of flaking, a healthy amount. And I have to say the skin that's left looks amazing-so smooth. Other than the dark shadows under my eyes, for the first time in a long time I feel I could go with little to no makeup. This product works fast."


"Really effective and helped me sleep, but also found myself confused and sometimes sleepwalking, in one case I was pretty badly injured jumping back into 'bed' but it was the home office desk I dove into, not the bed.  It was a strange experience, because I never walked in my sleep, and thought I could clearly see and knew where I was, it equaled "bedroom" at 2 am.  Take with caution."


"I have allergy-induced asthma, not true asthma. (sometimes my allergies and sinuses get so bad I get asthma attacks"). My allergy doctor prescribed Proventil HFA to me last year and though I don't use it often, it has helped when I needed it. Only one downfall, it makes me SO jittery. This is a common side effect because you're basically getting a shot of adrenaline in each puff. I find it's best to walk/move around a little after taking it to help wear off the jitters. Because of this side effect, I only use it when I really need it."


"Am nursing to 7 months old baby. Had bad sore throat, congested nose. Took Mucinex DM only 4 doses & it worked well. No side effects on baby. I like it & recommend it. 1st dose made my eyes watery but then everything went okay."


"I am 69 years old.  Prior to starting  5 pumps daily of Andro Gel 5 months ago, T level was 207, low energy and almost no sex drive plus often could not maintain an erection.  After only a couple of weeks, there was a big turnaround, good erections and libido what it was at age 40. Did notice I was a bit more aggressive.  Then, about the 3rd month things went downhill with things back pretty much as they were before Andro Gel. Presently awaiting results of test to see where T levels stands."


"says for eyes only I was Rx'd this for a middle ear infection I was cured of this ailment in a matter of two days. Rx'd 4 drops in ear three times a day. It took me a week to get to dr. I was in pain feverish etc. this was all I was rx'd pain left within hours I really believe two doses cured me! I am sorry I never take ANY meds EVER MORE than 2 days after I feel well over 50 yrs old.  rarely need antibiotics nothing has come back from early stopping my grown child was done the same way and we seem to remain on the healthy side :) we can go years without the need for antibiotics I recall in my teens mom made me finish an antibiotic and that created fungal infection from then on no more than TRULY NECESSARY! I think that creates superbugs!!"


"Took terbinafine for 7 months & it has not led to any improvement in my toe nails-they are still discoloured with fungus which also causes some of the nails to thicken & become difficult to cut."

"Flexeril was first prescribed to me to help reduce pain, and along with other medication, aids in my sleep."


"This is my second time getting a yeast infection and both because I was on a course of antibiotics. The first time I used Monistat 1 and had wonderful relief for the night. I took a shower the next morning and the itch was instantly back. This time I used Monistat 3. OMG as soon as I put it in the burn and itch was one of the worse things I felt. But I read that it's very normal that's how you know it's working. It lasted 20 minutes and down there feels oddly normal. No symptoms from yeast infection or from medication. Crossed fingers this works. But this is not for the faint hearted."


"I've been taking Klonopin 0.5mg at bedtime for about 8 years. I'm only 108lbs so I don't need a huge dose. I've had no side effects and no panic attacks.  There has been a handful of times that I have felt any generalized anxiety and I have been under extreme amounts of stress."


"I was taking Lyrica for several years.  I stopped taking it because of the price.  My prescription medications are covered by Medicare & other insurance, but I do not believe in indiscriminately spending Medicare money.  So, again, only because of the cost, I stopped.
My feet went wild, burning pain, could not even have the bed covers on them at night.  I got my Rx for Lyrica renewed and when it came I first took 2 caps in order to see if it would get started again.  It did!  I'm going to be doing a bit of research on the internet for a lower cost alternative.  Gabapentin looks good at the moment, maybe on my next doc appt. I'll try it.
I gave it only a 9 because of the cost, but for effectiveness I'd give it as high a number as allowed."


"Had insertion one week ago. I have never had a kid and my doctor did not warn me how painful it was going to be. She said some pressure and cramping was normal, but when she did it and noticed how buckled over in pain I was she called the pain "mini labor" because it dilates the cervix momentarily and said the cramping should pass in 30 minutes. It did not. I wish I had known it was going to debilitate me so much that I wouldn't be able to work 3 hours later. Make sure your parent, friend, or significant other are there with you to take you home if you have it inserted and have never had kids. I immediately bought a heating pad to help with the cramping pain I have had since insertion. I use icy hot patches at work to distract the pain."


"I was so nervous, but sooooo sick of taking a pill everyday for 10 yrs! didnt like the hormones. figured I'd try the IUD paraguard. Uncomfortable pinch when put in, but quickly over. and now 8 months later...aside from occasional minor cramping, nothing else changed. Periods were not longer, just a bit heavier for the first few months but now are back to normal. So glad I decided to try this. I feel so free not having to be slave to a pill daily. Would recommend to try and see how this works for your body. it was free through my insurance. def dont miss paying for pills every month!"


"I almost stopped taking this because the first couple of weeks were pretty bad. I was really down, anxious, short, and hungry.  I decided to try taking it at night instead of the morning because that's what my sister's doctor told her to do. What a difference. I just started my 2nd month and feel normal again. I don't know if it's because I take it at night or because my body is used to it. Either way it's good so far. I did gain 5 pounds but it's definitely because like I said, I was really hungry."


"It sucks! It burned the first day they insert it! I've been having it but I get a really heavy periods and big headaches!"


"Works great but when I stop taking them I feel really tired and I get hot then cold, very uncomfortable. I'm only 21 and I've been taking them since I was 12. I also think it has a role in my ulcer."


"I was the heaviest I have ever been when I had my annual physical in July 2015.  My doctor spoke with me about the possibility of trying a medication to help jump start my weight loss.  She was very nice in not saying that I am obese.  I read it in the report :(. She told me to think about it and let her know if I wanted a prescription.  That was July 22, 2015.  Filled the script on August 14, 2015 and haven't looked back. I was 206.8 when I took the first pill.  I am now down to 189.4.  Dry mouth is the only side effect.  Forces me to drink lots of water. Looking to get down to 160.  I can do it!"


"I have been using Taclonex for about 10 months. It seems to do some good for a week or so at a time, then things flare up as it seems like I have been using nothing. It just is not very consistent. "


"I have been on tranexamic acid for 4 cycles now. I was having very heavy "flooding" periods. My heaviest day I would have to stay home from work. It was overwhelming how often I would have to change a super plus tampon. My uterus is full of fibroids. My sister had the same condition and had a hysterectomy. That was before this was FDA approved. I feel so fortunate. This medicine is great. My bleeding has decreased enormously. I can sleep through the night. I don't have "flooding". I don't have to double up with super tampon plus night time pad. It is fantastic. My period longer by about 2 days, but really light bleeding. "


"I used the patch for three months. I like to get my period every month as I am using it to regulate it, along with preventing pregnancy. It works, never used any other back up method and not pregnant. No spotting, no sickness, however I did start getting numbness in my left arm but I did ignore it and irritations on patch site. It never fell off but the corners do lift slightly and it does not look pretty by the end of the week due to the lint and black residue stuff. It's a pain to have on your skin all the time. I just switched because its summer, it shows and is more of a hassle in the heat. I switched to the ring and love it."


"I had eczema on the skin accompanied by fever and joint pain for the first time last year and was diagnosed HSV2 by IgG positive test. I took Valtrex for two and a half month and the following IgG test was negative. I repeated the test three month later, still IgG negative. My doctor does not know why. I would suggest those that have been taking Valtrex for a longer time (at least some months) right from the first outbreak to take a new IgG test. Maybe the Valtrex period of some months assists in the body reducing the number of virus through repeated life cycles such that it does not cause IgG antibodies. I like to add that the HSV1, which I had since long, gave positive IgG response in all three IgG tests."


"Caused nausea...but worked."


"I've had mixed results with this.  Been on 180mg of Oxy IR and 75mcg Fentanyl for YEARS. When my doc increased my Fentanyl to every 48 hours, all my plumbing STOPPED.  I NEVER had any problems, ever!  I fought with the constipation, not going for 6 weeks+ sometimes.  I don't know what hurts worse...?  Anyway, the Relistor works here and there.  I don't have insurance and at $75 a 12mg injection, I can't afford not to go!!! I just gave myself a 12mg shot yesterday, and another today.  24 hrs apart.  Nothing.  I haven't gone in 3 weeks now.  This is not good.  The laxative route does nothing as well.  I'm frustrated... Any suggestions?"


"I have been getting severe migraines for more than 25 years. 99% of the time they would result in a trip to the ER for a few injections - since I can't keep anything in my stomach, pills were not a solution. Suppositories to control the vomiting so that I could take pills only made me more miserable - in other ways - and offered little to no benefit. Last year my neurologist prescribed Migranal Nasal Spray. Wow. What a life changer! Within 30 minutes I am good to go with little to no remaining headache. There isn't even enough time for the vomiting to start. I really want to spread the word on this to other migraine sufferers. It has been an amazing solution for me."


"I've been on this for a month, and there have been no problems with it. My everyday life goes on normally, except now I just take a birth control pill nightly."


"I used this drug for suspected Swine Flu. It definitely works wonders but what I noticed was that it affected my brain in some ways. I am confused and less tolerant than I was before. I am hoping it is temporary. "


"Prescribed 1 grain split day-time dosage of armour thyroid.  After 2nd day, each time I took the 1/2 dosage I had slight sore-throat and eyes itching and irritated, this happened every time and became progressively worse daily until 8 days later, I could not take the side effects anymore and had to stop taking it.  Allergist tested positive for allergy to egg whites and dairy.  I had ingested both of these products in one way or another on the days that I took the armour so figured it was the egg/diary allergy and not the armour.  Allergist took skin/oral test with the armour and no signs of an allergic reaction to it, tried it again, 1 hour after each dose same symptoms, no more armour for me!!! Now I seem to be allergic to everything!!"


"Only last few months been on fluoxetine and started on 20mg and then increased to 40mg a life saver.  Tried citalopram before and this made me feel heavy headed and a little lack of energy.  Got my life back and think I did the right thing and wont be coming off this for a while. People say if you break your leg or your body needs a operation you would go for it.  If you need to take a SSR for a while, do it to get your life back on a even keel."


"I'm about to have my Nexplanon taken out as it's the end of my three years. Would I recommend this to someone else? Eh. For the first (literally) two years the periods are so sporadic I never went anywhere without a tampon. They weren't heavy but they lasted for WEEKS. No telling how much $ I spent on tampons. Then I'd go a month without any spotting, then a month of straight spotting. Finally, year 3, it has become much more regular.
 I didn't have any weight gain but I did have acne pop up all over my chin & cheek bones- I haven't had acne since middle school.
Overall- it's effective, but I'm sick of the acne. So. Much. Acne.
So no, I won't be getting it reinserted."


"I have had a urinary tract infection since January and it is now March. First I was put on a Z-pak with no relief. Then I was put on Cipro. The test came back as if I hadn't taken anything. Now I am on nitrofurantoin and the symptoms have subsided. I have a headache and am tired but so what they will go away when I finish taking this. It worked great for me."


"My GP suggested I try Amrix after I had a flare-up of severe sciatica along with related lumbar pain.  A year ago I was diagnosed with a dessicated disc at L5-S1.  I first had only localized pain in the lower back; however, after several months, I began to experience intense sciatic pain.  At that time, I underwent 3 epidural steroid injections, which cleared most of the pain for approximately 1 year.  This recurrence was extremely intense; I was barely able to walk.  I began to overcompensate while walking, causing severe muscle spasms.  On a scale of pain 0-to-10, I was at 9 for about 4 days.  I took 1 Amrix at bedtime for 10 days.  My pain went from 9 to 7 to 4 to 3 in just 3 days.  By day 7, I had no sciatic pain at all.  Truly amazing."


"Could not hold water down and had heaves all the way to the ER. They gave me a different medicine first and it did nothing, so they gave me Zofran and in a few minutes I was sitting up wanting food."


"43 male taking this for a week now... I haven't experienced any of the negative side effects listed but have noticed a decrease is sexual pleasure and more difficulty coming to climax.  Other than that I feel less depressed, don't feel the urge to eat as often or as much, and have been sleeping better than usual.  Also some serious aches and pains in one of my feet have pretty much disappeared although I am not sure if that is due to this drug (but I'm not taking anything else that would possibly have that effect)"


"I'm allergic to lots of medicines but this works."


"I have sciatica and have been in bed for 1 week.  I've been taking Lortab 7.5/500 but it doesn't seem to work very well for me. "


"I was prescribed 10mg fluoxetine for mild depression, mood swings, and anxiety due to menopause. ( Can not take HRT)   The third day started to experience terrible diarrhea for two days. About the fifth day it was absolutely the worst crying I have ever felt.  The feelings of despair where overwhelming.
Needless to say I contacted my doctor and will not continue taking.  Hope it works better for someone else trying it."


"I started taking this medication on March 17 and I'm down 6lbs in less than a week. I have tried everything for weight loss and this is the first product that has worked in years. I have no appetite and struggle to eat a few bites of ANYTHING all day. User beware and prepare for the initial phases of nausea, extreme heartburn and constipation! However the good outweighs the bad and I would recommend to anyone."


"I've had implanon in for nearly 1 year, before having it inserted my periods were like clock-work, and on the lightish side. I had it inserted on the 2nd day of my cycle, and that period lasted longer than usual, but other than duration it was as normal. I found I was extremely emotional for the first month. My breasts get tender sometimes, and I spot occassionally, but its nothing more than a bit of 'pink' on the paper when I go to the toilet. I don't even wear a liner. I've only had 1 period the entire time. Except about a week ago, the heaviest period of my life started! I've passed clots the size of golf balls! If it continues I may have to have it removed. Its weird that this is happening now after being so good for nearly a year. "


"I've been taking Latuda for about half a year already. It has stopped the voices, and visual hallucinations for a little while. But then they come back after awhile, I'm on the highest dose right now 160mg and I have had less frequent hallucinations but they are still there. I am currently taking it with 5mg of Zyprexa. I also have noticed a notable amount of weight gain, I went from 130lbs to 170lbs. I'm also on 5 other medications, so it's hard to target which is causing the weight gain. I'm also concerned about my blood sugar and the possibility of getting diabetes."


"I started taking this after increased anxiety/panic/depersonalization/derealization after starting a birth control pill (BeYaz).. Celexa has helped my symptoms but I stopped taking my birth control and it has made a WORLD of a difference in my mood. My anxiety and panic are almost gone.. I've only been on Celexa for 1 month.. and I stopped my birth control 2-3 weeks ago.. Please check into your birth control. I've NEVER had depression in my life but after starting the birth control I had CONSTANT crying spells, anxiety, panic, etc. Celexa is helping but I think this was all caused by the birth control. Please be careful!!"


"I have been taking Kadian for a least 4 years (various strengths) now taking 100mg 3 x daily.  Also take Hydrocodone and Baclofen.  Chronic low back pain. It controls my pain.  Wish they could do spinal transplants."


"I had cystic acne and nothing worked until I finally tried Accutane. It's truly a life saver! I had lost my confidence until I tried this product. Only side effect was dry nose, dry yes and chapped lips. All of which is minor and worth the beautiful and flawless skin that follows! Four years later and it's still the best and only thing that works! I tried it all...cortisone shots in the face, Retin A, Differin, facials, scrubs, Proactive, blue light treatment etc.... nothing ever worked. Do yourself a favor and get this as soon as possible. I was finally able to give up wearing foundation too."


"This birth control worked well for me with minimal side effects. It did not give me acne and my periods were short and light with minimal cramping. No hair loss, loss of sex drive,  or nausea. My only symptoms were constant bloating, weight gain (15lbs in 7 months), and a constant insatiable appetite. I can say that it helped stabilize my mood, I experienced no major mood swings or outbursts. My insurance recently switched me to tri lo marzia and while I’m enjoying this pill, (weight loss, less of an appetite, no bloating), it is causing some major mood changes. I know there is a pill out there for me but I don’t think either of these are it. If your pharmacy tells you these medications are the same, don’t listen."


"I have been on regular pills for about 25 years without issue.  I just finished my first pack of this and am not sure I want to start my second.  I have been so irrationally angry, stressed and depressed this last month. Angry over little things to the point of not sleeping several nights. I honestly was very concerned about what was happening to me. Also had very sore nipples and am super hungry all the time.  So happy to find that others experienced this and I'm not losing my mind!!!  I did not get my period which is usual for me but I do have cramps."


"Did nothing for my ADHD. Made me aggressive and easily angered, complete change of personality for the worse."


"After having had to take steroids for severe asthma all of my life I have been dealing with a very horrible side effects of psychosis on steroids. Unfortunately there are many people in the medical field he still do not know how to deal with that. I have learned to ask for Compazine and have been able to take small amounts to get back to a straight playing with my mental health and survive the hospitalization and the several weeks afterwards when I'm having to cut down the prednisones back to nothing. It has saved my life and has probably saved a few hospitalizations because a lot of people don't know how to deal with someone who says high doses of Cortizone make me psychotic. My long-term doctors know it but short term hospitalization Compazine saves me from all sorts of other issues that could come up that I've already dealt with in the last 64 years."


"Just got the paraguard inserted a 2 days. Most horrendous pain I've ever gone through. Didn't even have so much as a pap before that. Doc was not gentle at all. She used too big of a speculum and had to swap for a smaller one which made me start bleeding immediately. I haven't had any babies. I'd definitely say the pain is worth it in the end. I do have faith in this method. I did bleed a lot during the procedure and have been bleeding lightly since. I am still cramping. Which is currently fluctuating between mild, moderate, and excruciating depending. Fiancé bought me a heating pad that I warm up in the microwave which is soothing. Sitting with my legs up is helping and warm showers. I'm excited to not have to worry about pills."


"Started Lunesta after a failed try at Trazadone and Prazosin and some other kinds. I've been taking lunesta as needed for the past year. I'm currently on Adderall and come off it here and there to make sure I can still function without it. So when I go back to taking my adderall, sleep isn't an option. With the lunesta, it shuts my brain off and sleep the whole night. Yes, I have slight metal taste but I fall asleep before I actually notice it. I honestly wake not groggy at all, that's why I love it. But yes, I gotta be careful and not get hooked on taking this stuff and have an dependence."


"I took the first dose at 7:55am.I had kept both bottles in the refrigerator as instructed. The taste was not as awful as anticipated but there was so much of it that it took nearly 15 minutes to finish. I felt bloated & uncomfortable. I took the second dose at 8:20 am & had much more difficulty getting it down. Finally tossed about 4 ounces down the drain.I really thought I was going to throw it all up.I was given a cup with another half bottle of Volumen to drink as soon as I got to the clinic.That was warm & tasted worse. After waiting for 10 minutes I was taken to the room for the CT Enterography & given the second half of the bottle to drink.I was already having to urinate every 5 minutes by then but got through it.Had diarrhea all day"


"This pill is probably good for a lot of people but it is not good for acne prone people.  I was constantly breaking out on this pill with horrible, painful cysts.  The lower amount of estrogen in this pill is better for a lot of women but it severely aggravated my acne.  Right after I switched to a higher estrogen dose pill, my acne cleared up.  The only thing I liked about this pill was it gave me very short and light periods."


"I LOVE my Implanon! I've had it for over a year, insertion was painless and didn't leave a scar, and I get my periods every six months and they last just a couple days. And I haven't gotten pregnant! No monthly costs or runs to the pharmacy, nothing to remember, its awesome. But your results, obviously, will vary. Some people simply react badly to it, but if you react well to it, it could change your life. Might as well give it a try, right?"


"I've had the Mirena for exactly 4 yrs. It has been the best thing ever. I have used pills, Nuvaring, the patch in the past, but all those things gave me bad side effects. I had no pain during insertion and cramped very slightly.  Although I should mention I am one of those women who rarely gets cramps and I had normal periods.  My periods practically disappeared and I didn't have significant weight gain.  I am back to my pre-baby weight and absolutely no side effects in these 4 years. I will be getting another Mirena."


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


"I have been taking Adderall for 5 years in total now, and about a year and a half consistently through a prescription.  My prescription, initially, was for 20 mg of Adderall IR twice a day, but after 3 months I had my dosage upped to 30 mg of Adderall IR twice a day.  Ever since the first day I took a 20 mg Adderall XR, I knew I needed it to be productive and successful during my everyday life.  Prior to being introduced to Adderall, I was kicked out of college for not maintaining a certain GPA, and knew that I needed to get my own prescription to finish college and get my degree.  Luckily I did get my prescription, and graduated last year with my B.S, in Chemistry.  Adderall has changed my life for the better and I couldn't be happier"


"I used to get very aggravated over what normal people handle. I would go off. Have panic attacks and not know how to deal. Plus, I have tremors in my hands, mostly my right. Once I started taking Xanax the tremors stopped, I could deal calmly with my children when they got out of control. It helps me concentrate easier during the day & sleep well @ nite. It can have side affects though if you don't take it properly! Take it as prescribed and don't make yourself go through the withdrawals."


"I took Bactrim DS after the first antibiotic didn't work on my sinus infection. I started to feel better after 4 days, however I developed joint pain in my hands and knees. I have arthritis from an autoimmune disease, but it's usually controlled very well by a maintenance medicine. On day 8 I noted lots of swollen glands in my neck and a slight temp. After I took my antibiotic that night my fever shot up to 103, I was shaking, teeth chattering, with severe joint/muscle pain, my face looked sunburned, and my body was red/blotchy. I stopped the Bactrim, but the fever lasted 2-3 days, the arthritis was severe for about a week and I still have fatigue. Good news is ENT did recheck and infection is gone."


"Where do I begin? I took it for a sinus infection and not the recommended twice daily but only once per day because I couldn't tolerate it more than that. My face and body felt like it was on fire and my skin coloring was red like I was burning up on the outside & inside. I had nausea, diarrhea, ear and throat itching, mind alteration ( couldn't comprehend things like normal), skin puffiness/swelling, stomach pain, taste distortion, high pulse rate, dizziness, fatigue, weight gain, decrease in appetite, frequent burning urination, and even stuffier nose than when I started it. Now it is in my chest & in my nasal cavaties. I just want to feel better. This is awful!!!!"


"I absolutely hate this form of birth control. I have been on my period for months. Heavy bleeding, horrible headaches, and terrible uncontrollable mood swings. Getting out ASAP."


"I have been on Belviq for a month now. The first ten days I gained 3 lbs and was panicked. My doctor told me to stick with it, and I am now down 8 lbs.  But, more importantly, my blood pressure when I checked in with the doctor this week was 119/76, where it had always been in the neighborhood of 140/90.  I find that I forget to eat, and I am sleeping better."


"To be honest, I can't tell you if it helped with the prevention of migraines or not. I have had chronic migraines for 15 years now. They are accompanied by loss of feeling in my hands, aura, and sometimes my words come out as gibberish. I have tried just about everything from medications to natural remedies for my migraines. When my new neurologist suggested I take Topamax I thought that I would finally be rid of my migraines. I didn't even last a week on this medication though. I couldn't stand for more than thirty seconds without being dizzy and having shortness of breath. My stomach ached and I had a tingling sensation in my hands. I also had a slight fever. My doctor wanted to attribute all of these things to the start of a cold."


"I got the Mirena in 2013, like most of the reviews the insertion was relatively pain free.Then the bleeding began, this is a progesterone only birth control and guess what progesterone does? It assists in shedding the line of you uterus. You know all those annoying side effects of menstruation, bloating, bleeding(Obviously), cravings, and water retention. Well multiply that by 10 and you have the side effects of Mirena. And since there is no break in you now 3 month long period, you start gaining weight and never ever able to lose.  I have had two kids and have successfully lost the weight for both, easy. Just don't . Oh they charge for the ultrasound separately to verify it is safe, WTF!!!"


"Worst drug i've ever been on. My sugars went from a controlled 120 to over 350 in a matter or weeks. Invokana was giving me severe yeast infections so I asked for a change. Now i don't have YI but this medication doesn't do anything to lower my sugar. If anything it makes my sugar higher. Seeing my doctor Thursday to switch back or to something else."


"I take 400 mg Seroquel at bedtime. I sleep a lot better but as far as my bipolar symptoms I see no real difference."


"Best method to cure panic forever."


"I took 2 first dose of pills for severe bronchitis and then fell asleep. I awoke with diarrhea, then washed clothes, fell back asleep and had another bout with diarrhea and had to wash clothes again. I never had something like this happen to me before! Very scary to say the least- I am only 59 so still in good physical shape. Just glad I did not ruin my memory foam mattress! Now am 24 hours later and afraid to take next dose- only one pill but am going to be awake for a long while....
Seems to have helped for bronchitis."


"For me Adderall has changed my life remarkably for the good; without Adderall I wouldn't be able to work 40 hours a week like I do as well as going to school full-time. Yes it may be a amphetamine and  produce similar euphoric highs  to meth and MDMA, however it is far different as far as when it is broken down chemically. For those who have little knowledge in chemistry, just one small change in the chemical structure to a drug that may seem so insignificant can actually change the drug dramatically when it comes to the side effects. Adderall is a very useful drug and provides many benefits with much less side effects then the other not so good drugs in its class."


"Took this medication for two weeks.  Did nothing in reducing OAB.  Had horrible reaction of severe DROWSINESS!   Was so bad I almost went to sleep in traffic a couple of times before I realized what was causing me to feel that way.  Lost all my energy and gumption to get anything done.  Just wanted to sleep.  Then week two I got to where when I went to the restroom, I would just sit there.  I could not start a flow without thinking about it for what seemed like five minutes.  I stopped taking and called my doctor.  Calling in another medication to try.  I pray it works without all the side effects!"


"I started the nuvaring almost a month ago and a week in I was very emotional. My boyfriend told me he noticed I acting different and I actually had a break down one night. Lucky for me he also helped me realize it was my bc. I was hoping it would increase my sex drive but it's the same."


"I had a bad experience with Zyprexa. It made me very drowsy and I gained a lot of weight. May be good for someone else. I did not find it helpful in my situation."


"This drug changed my life. I've always been "depressed" person if you will, problems from childhood, then life got hard when I moved country and my husband deployed. Almost within a week of taking lexapro I began to notice the difference. More stable, more optimistic, no longer crying over anything... Things that would give me major anxiety before no longer bother me as much, although the anxiety is not completely gone. Only very mild side effects of dry mouth and slight headaches, but boy is it worth it.  I am, what must be "normal" to the rest of the world now. I'm very happy."


"I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I'm 33 years old and have a son. I would panic everytime he wasn't with me. I would think of the craziest "what ifs" that could happen. I got to the point I couldn't even drive on the highway because I might get into an accident. I was prescribed zoloft at 25mg for six weeks...I felt nauseous for a couple days but was fine. Then I was put up to 50mg for another six weeks. I was really tired and my anxiety spiked but I stuck it out. Now I'm on 100mg. Have been for 2 weeks. Not a single anxiety attack. I feel less tired but still get sleepy through out the day. My son can be at school, out swimming or doing other kid things and my mind doesn't head straight to horrible what if thoughts. Yay!!"


"Used tamiflu when needed for 3 years miracle drug and I'm glad to say I 've had no side effects up to now"


"I'm on 2.5mg twice a night. It puts me to sleep for two hours but it's the best two hours of sleep I get. Unfortunately, I don't sleep long while on it and I am wide awake after four hour for about two hours in the morning."


"I was first prescribed Flexeril in 1994 and have been in love with it ever since.  I suffer from recurring migraines and bad sinus headaches.  My doctor at the time tried many different remedies, but the combination of 10mg of Flexeril along with 500mg of Naproxen has been a "100%" effective result since I first took it.  I only take it when I am at home though because the Flexeril makes me very sleepy.  FYI:  body size doesn't matter to this little pill as I'm 6'4", 230lbs!"


"This was not very effective for me and it made me feel worse the next day even if I got 8 hours of sleep. It isn't really worth it."


"HI, I have just had my fourth infusion of Benlysta. My feelings on this drug are mixed so far. I really hate the thought of pumping something into my veins that may or may not damage some other part of my body or kill me; but sometimes you have to get past your fears and pray for the best outcome. I've heard that a positive outlook can be 80%  of the healing process. I was diagnosed with SLE in 2002. I started on plaquenil  and steriods. Over the years I have been on medications that were later recalled due to multiple deaths. That really makes you think and feel as though you are the drug company's guinea pig. We will see what the next few treatments do and I'll update this review. So far no adverse side effects."


"Cytomel is making my brain work so much better again! I tried it several years ago and it made me me jittery, I felt like I had a huge amount of caffeine in me.... not this time! I'm in peri menopause and I understand the estrogen dominance can be a thyroid hormone antagonist, making it difficult to convert. Cytomel has helped me feel almost entirely back to normal and I have the energy to exercise again!"


"I've been on Zoloft for 3 months. 1st 4 days were awful. Worked perfectly in 14 days at 50mg. After 1 month stopped working, raised to 100mg then it worked again after only two days. I've been on 100mg since, and I feel good. I've had only three very short panic attacks (seconds) but sometimes I feel down and bored. I don't know if that's because of the Zoloft or my condition or just due to normal daily life stuff. Overall, I feel good and back to normal. I am writing this because I was here once 3 months ago and it felt really good to read the reviews. It's totally normal like any health condition."


"I have been on the medicine for 4 days and I cant even tell I'm taking it. I hope once I start increasing the dose I will notice a change."


"I'm 23 with no kids and had Skyla inserted 6 weeks ago. I wanted to try an IUD, because I've had bad experiences with oral birth controls in the past--moodiness, anxiety, weight gain, decreased sex drive etc. The insertion was painful but nothing unmanageable. My doctor did prescribe me Misoprostol, so I think that helped a lot. I've been really happy overall with Skyla but I've been experienced A LOT of cramps and A LOT of spotting. Out of the 42 days I've had it, I would say I experienced cramping for at least 25 days and spotting for probably 30. These symptoms are pretty annoying but I've noticed nothing mood wise which is very important for me. Another plus, I've definitely noticed a change in appetite (less) and I've lost 5 pounds."


"I gave this a high score because I got lucky. I went for years struggling with depression, weary of Big Pharma, self-medicating. Finally a friend took me to a doctor. The first drug she prescribed was Effexxor. I was prescribed the 75mg capsules. I found it to be too much for me, so I take one every other day. The only side effects I feel are from withdrawals if I skip a few days, and 'ditziness' if you will. Other than that, managing my depression has changed my life. My weight has even dropped because I used to self medicate with food. I do recommend taking only the lowest dose possible for your symptoms. I am not a big fan of prescription drugs, but this was a lifesaver for me."


"I have tane Zarah for almost a year now and I had to share my experience with others. this pill is extremely affective with me as a birth control and as an acne pill. My boobs have gotten a little bigger than they were, but that is  depending on your body. It works different for each person and for me it has been an amazing experience."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I am on my 7th day at Pylera and so far everything is good. Yes I feel a little bit tired, had a few headaches especially in the midfrontal head and I had the metallic taste every morning; however, I've been eating better. I had some diarrhea the first days and now my stools are better. It is annoying to take 12 pills at day and be on top of schedules. I also take probiotic yogurt even though my gastroenterologist did not told me about it. I hope this works. !!"


"When I started a week ago I was 294 and I%u2019m 5%u201910. I was nervous about the needle but the truth is you can hardly feel it, it%u2019s that thin. I started at .6 and after a few days I went up to 1.2. The other day I tried to go to 1.8 but I had a serious stomach ache all night long so I went back to 1.2. At 1.2 the side effects are mild. Headaches, a little nausea, slight rough throat and fatigue. I have lost 10 pounds in this week with minimal exercise, perhaps 10/15 minutes on the elliptical a night and some free weights. I%u2019m in love with this product. I have ZERO appetite. I have to force myself to eat and even then end up eating two bites and throwing the rest away. I%u2019m very hopeful this is the motivation I needed and it continues to work."


"I take methocarbamol 750 3-4 times a day along with hydrocodone/aceteminaphen 7.5/325 3-4 times a day, both help very well with my lower back issues, arthiritis and protruding discs. Doesn't make me sleepy, just relaxes me alot."


"I have been on 1 mg 3 x daily for anxiety for approximately 1 year and 0.5mg 2 x daily for the last 6 years. It was a life saver during times of anxiety and stress during my divorce and recently during my discovery of bipolar illness.  It works wonderfully for irritability with other drug reactions. Recently I was taken off the drug by my doctor because of habit forming controversy. Didn't think I was addicted because I took only on an as needed basis and did not follow directions precisely. Although I did experience severe irritation within 3 to 10 days of being off medication, I still feel for many people this medication is a necessity."


"This will knock you out."


"Took Abilify along with Lithium.  Abilify is very helpful for mania mood swings.  I also noticed that when "voices" or loud thoughts in my mind were disruptive, Abilify was able to remove those.  As most drugs, there were some side effects I did not like.  Abilify did cause me to feel a bit dazed or doped, which also caused sleepiness during the day.  It did not help me with depression, and seemed to contribute to it because of the sleepiness and dazed feeling.  However, this drug was effective with the mania, and handy to have is the loud thoughts or "voices" are a problem."


"I%u2019m 22, female & just started month 4. I am glad I started Accutane, although it is quite expensive. My monthly blood draws are $250 each time, with health insurance. The worst side effect for me is the dryness, especially my lips. Carmex in a stick has worked best for me over Aquaphor. I use Cetaphil facial moisturizer & cleanser. I use each of them morning & night & they have worked well. I would recommend this medication to any acne sufferers, it%u2019s amazing the confidence you gain with clear skin. I have been so much more outgoing since I don't have to worry about people staring at my latest pimple. I can%u2019t wait for summer where I will be able to go to the beach without make-up and not be self-conscious about it!"


"Ive had the implanon in now for just 4 Months. I have gained almost 2 stone and still going! none of my "pre implanon" clothes fit me!!! Size uk10 to 14 in 4 months!? I have extremely low self esteem now due to this. I genuinely hate myself thats how LOW I feel. No money to purchase my unwanted bigger wardrobe! In fact I put on LESS weight being pregnant! Im actually eating healthier and walking more then I was before. I'm due to have it taken out very soon I CANT WAIT. I get random heavy as hell bleeding which are very painful that I'm crouching over at work in front of customers!!! Oh yes it's a very effective contraception but only because you turn completely mental case and bleed ALL the time. What a turn on eh. DON'T RECOMMEND"


"The first two nights, I could sleep on my side without pain, but the third night I could not and the third and fourth mornings I woke up with sharp pain in both knees making it difficult to walk.  This is actually worse than before I had the injections.
Am I expecting too much?  When can I expect the pain to go away or at least not be present with every step I take?"


"I have been suffering from Obsessive compulsive disorder since I was 18. It was not until I was 26 did I discover that I had OCD. I have been on Lexapro for about 5 years now and it is still working, though I have kicked up the dosage a little bit. In short, it SAVED my life. First few weeks on it can be tough, but don't get discouraged - take Xanax if you spike during the initial phase of taking it. But once it kicks, no need for benzos, the medicine worked wonders. I was actually taking a pretty low dose.  Around 15mg per day, then I tried to taper off to 10mg, but didn't work.  I am back up to 20mg. I hear that anywhere between 20mg and 40mg is a good dose, so I will stick with the low-end since my symptoms are under control even after 5 years."


"Ok stuff"


"I was originally put on Cymbalta for depression,  I was told to take it during the day which I did.  When I took the Cymbalta during the day it made me incredibly sleepy  to the point I could NOT stay awake so I discontinued it's use. Fast forward a few years and I started experiencing HORRIBLE Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. Doctor put me on Cymbalta to try and treat the pain.  This time I took it before bed.  I didn't notice any sleepiness during the day,  and my nerve pain got better, and eventually was completely gone.  After a year of use and almost no pain at all,  I started having some "break through pain".   Even though I am having "break through pain" after a year, the Cymbalta still makes life 100x better and I and grateful to have it!"


"I am going through menopause, I have been crying most days for about a year, I have constant obsessive negative thoughts about myself.  I went to the doctor to request HRT. She talked me into Prozac. I was diagnosed with low depression, mid range anxiety and high stress. I have only been taking this for 6 days, but already my life has changed. The tears have stopped, I am no longer obsessing about things that might or might not happen, My confidence is back, I am reaching out more socially, and feel once again that life is good. I do however eat well and exercise regularly, I don't think any thing can counteract a poor diet and no exercise. Hot flashes have also almost disappeared. So far no side effects."


"My grandson had a severe diaper rash. Well his boom boom was severely irritated from him having watery bowel movements for months. I would clear it up n it would come back. Soon as i applied it he was all smiles n back to being busy. Prior my daughter read the can rather than Googling its uses. I came in from work laid my grandson down n told her to hold his arms while i applied the bag balm. It's like he knew what it was going to do No scratching no grabbing at his secret area. This stuff is a true life saver. So whoever made the recommendation God Bless you."


"Hi there, I suffered for many year with Crohn's having has a resection, fistulas, perforation, strictures you name it, having had antibodies after not using infiximab for a year I started Humira 13 days ago, so far so good, no side effects as yet, didn't even hurt to administer and for the first time in years I can hear my stomach actually making a noise !! I seem to be very more energetic as the days go by, fingers crossed it continues. Had no pain whatsoever in 6 days."


"22, no children. So it's been about two hours since I had the Mirena inserted. I must admit that I was pretty horrified by some of the cringe-worthy reviews had seen, and I was very nervous going in today. The pain was quite awful for about 5 seconds, then I had a bit of cramping, followed by some sweating, all of which subsided rather quickly. The whole procedure couldn't have been more than 5 minutes. I'm not experiencing any pain as of right now, but I do feel a little fullness and pressure. Overall, not the nightmarish experience I had expected."


"My acne experience began when I was 13 years old. I had a few breakouts every now and then but it was nothing bad. My mom took me to the dermatologist and I was prescribed epiduo. I have been using it for years now. Honestly, I haven't seen much of a difference but it hasn't done much for me."


"After four years of using this on and off I still have acne. This cream does work well, but I fail to use it 2 times a day like i was instructed because it dries my face so much. If you're thinking about getting this cream, do it. It does work really good, but it does dry your face so much and burns a bit."


"After 2 years on this pill I'm starting to feel severe  joint and muscle ache, swelling of the arm and legs... the swelling was so severe that it I couldnt walk. The side effects of this drug really outway the benefits."


"I gave it a try for 2 months, but the abdominal pain, diarrhea, and pounding headaches never went away.  I verified that you can cut the pills to try to taper up the dosage and they start you on smaller dosed pills to begin with anyway.  After 2 months I never got up to the full dose and my side effects never got better.  I did try taking the full dose and had rapid diarrhea and had a pounding headache that lasted 3 days.  It was less successful than 3 of the 4 TNF-alpha inhibitors I had tried and less effective than Xeljanz (tofacitinib) at treating my psoriatic arthritis."


"Just started taking 5 mg twice a day. Doesn't seem to last as long as the doctor said it would. Also the 5mg doesn't take the pain away. It does ease it a little. So on my next visit I will tell the doctor her calculation was off. Think I would do better on 20mg twice daily. Also if she could give me something else to advance my stool and make it softer. That pain is worse than the knee pain."

"I have a severe case of tennis elbow, so I tried acetaminophen, naprosyn, ibuprofen and none of them provided any relief.  Then my orthopedist prescribed Mobic....it's done wonders!!  I'm 42 years old, 5'7", and 180 pounds, and he prescribed 7.5mg.  The pain is almost entirely gone after only three days of taking the drug.  Taking Mobic has allowed me to sleep at night!"


"I was originally prescribed Valium for mild anxiety. It has helped but amazingly it has stopped my muscle pain from a bulging disc L5. I now suffer no pain at all from the muscles around the disc its amazing."


"I got Mirena for 1 year and 3 months to reduce bleeding  during periods, it was effective, my cycles were better but I suffered from a lot of the side effects that make my life terrible. First I never stop spotting between periods. I suffered from back pain, uterus cramps, panic attacks, stress. It really made me feel very sick. I removed it finally. Hope that things goes better."


"This cough suppressant really helped with my chronic cough."


"I seem to be the only one who reacted to this stuff with noticeable chest soreness- not really cramps and thank goodness no vomiting, but my chest feels all sore. And, especially at night, I also feel rather out of breath.

The prescription was for a rather severe infection from a root canal. Said infection made my entire upper lip swell up completely, was so painful and sensitive that I was popping Ibuprofen along with Tylenol every six hours, every day, for several days. Clindamycin probably had some effect, but what really made a difference was a specialist physically draining the infection. Otherwise it wasn't going down."


"I have bled 60+ days. I am on day two of provera. The nausea, cramping, diarrhea, bloating, and vaginal dryness is horrible, I have stopped bleeding though. I am scheduled for 10mg for 10 days for the next three months."


"Not compatible with moderate alcohol. I haven't had a hangover in over 10 years. After two pills, I had a doozy."


"I've found that taking ibuprofen (200 mg) several times daily reduces the shoulder and upper arm pain (both shoulders) and permits more flexibility. The length of time that its effect lasts is perhaps five or six hours at most...not quite long enough to get a full night's comfortable sleep."


"My son is 9 years old and was "officially diagnosed" a year ago.  He was on Focalin for 2 months, than started Concerta 18mg for 6 months.  The Concerta was going great however, he developed odd behaviors like making noises and zoning out.  He started Intuniv a month ago.  His blood pressure dropped really low which attributed to him being very tired.  We gave it to him at night and he still woke up groggy and very sleepy.  Throughout school he was dazed and tired.  He didn't find anything to laugh about and seemed out of it.  During the third week (the 3mg dosage) his therapist took him off.  Within 3 days he was laughing and having getting back to normal.  I heard great things about Intuniv and wish all of you the best of luck."


"I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.  My doctor prescribed Cymbalta.  It cured my anxiety, but came at a price... it's an expensive medicine, and I hope that mediation and relaxation will help me get off of Cymbalta one day :) Short term, it has been extremely effective in my recovery of anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder."


"If you are on this medication and are being tested every month, what are the odds that if a new Dr pulls you off other meds after a year, will that change the results? I was on meds for bipolar and arthritis that my new Dr took away, now I can hardly move my arms without wetting my pants from the pain. This is also the Dr that told me after 25 years of taking sleep aids I now DO NOT have insomnia I have sleep apnea. Which is awesome, I lay awake all night not sleeping, but I have a cool mask to fight with instead of sleeping."


"I've been taking this for about 4 months and I have never been an overly emotional person and now all the sudden my mood swings and emotions are off the charts. I never get that sad over things and it's made me a lot more depressed/sad. I've always had an easy period so that wasn't effected but my emotions are so messed up. I do not suggest this brand."


"I received it for pain following gall bladder surgery worked really well for me - I do not like codeine based products."


"I have used Zoladex 3 month implant for 9 months, as I suffer from Pulmonary Endometriosis. Zoladex was the only medication that successfully stopped my periods, and to stop my lungs collapsing every cycle. Positives would be no mood swings, clear skin, and no periods therefore no pain. Negatives would be I gained 10 kilos, which I'm working on losing, but the weight was better than having horrific lung pain. I did have a small amount of bone pain, but this has stopped since I've been off the medication for a month. The other negative is its only subsidized in some parts of Australia. One state its $25 the other $1000 for three months. I hope this helps. In many ways Zoladex has helped me live a normal life again."


"I took two pills that were prescribed 1000mg total. They also gave me a shot. I had diarrhea, dizzy, nausea, etc. hurting and in pain but overall it will work."


"After trying two other medicines with horrible side effects and no results, Cymbalta finally did the trick!  The side effects were mild (hot flashes, some shakiness, etc) have mostly subsided and I'm sleeping better."


"In 2001 I had my gallbladder removed. And since then I have had chronic diaherra.  I would spend 12 hours with explosive diaherra. It made my life miserable. I didn't know when I could leave the house.  The delayed gastric emptying and the chronic diaherra  I started taking the drug Welchol. And I feel so good.  I have had to change my eating habits. Foods that I have loved, I can not eat anymore.  I can except that, so the I am no miserable. Maybe I can start exercising and lose weight."


"I strained my back and was in pain every time I moved the wrong way or changed positions, after working too hard on an outdoor project.  My PCP prescribed a Methylprednisolone steroid pack.  The medication started working the first day and has "loosened my back muscles" and reduced the pain considerably.  I have 1 day left of the medication and feel pretty good.

I have a history of depression and did feel a little jittery and have trouble getting to sleep, but nothing too bad that I would stop taking the medicine.  Also having gas and the medicine is making me hungry.  For me benefits definitely outweigh the side effects."


"Wow, worked in two hours, after all (and I do mean *all*) else failed.  Hugely expensive, though, hoping Forest labs considers some kind of discount program."


"I have only had two doses so far 100mg/2x a day.  Pharmacist said it could take 5-7 days to feel the full effects as it has to build up and that I could still take Motrin or Vicodin (neither of which really put a dent in the pain) until it starts to work.  So far I've had probably 9 or 10 "episodes" of pain and instead of what I can only compare to contractions (I've had 3 natural childbirths), the pain is now about a 6/10 vice 10/10.  I am so happy about this, I developed TN 6 months ago and thought like others it was in my teeth or gums; I now know it was due to a sinus surgery...the pain has gone from mild, one episode a day to intense, excruciating, balled up on the couch crying every hour bad.  I hope this medicine works."


"You can't take with GERD"


"I have been on Plavix 75mg one a day since September 2008. I have not experienced any problems that I can identify."


"I was on Seroqyel for two years and loved it except at the beginning was very sleepy but went away after a few weeks. Very shaky but rather than that was wonderful. I am drug free and loving it today though, easy to go off it too."


"This pill gave me very strange side effects. For one, the first few weeks I had a headache every single day, I had no sex drive, and my period last 7 days  ."


"Was placed Adderall XR 20mg once a day. The first month was fantastic. I could think. I had bounds of physical energy. My mood was elevated. I had problems starting with the second month. The positive effects were no longer there and the negative ones were enhanced. I did some research and found out it was an issue with the brand. Not all generics are the same despite what everyone is told. I got Actavis brand. I found out that not only are generics allowed to differ in potency by 60-120% (40 less potent than some or 20% more potent than some) but Actavis was allowed to use its own proprietary formulation. If you are put on Adderall XR or IR be cautious about what generic you get. Some work way better than others."


"I went on this BC because I loved the loestrin 24 FE (which is apparently no longer available) and I thought this would be similar. It IS NOT at all similar. I feel completely different on this pill, and I've given it 6 months. My side effects include constant cramps and abdominal pain, complete
 loss of sex drive, diaherra, and depression. I began to push my boyfriend away and am still
very very attracted to him, yet I have no sex drive. This pill has completely changed me and it took me 6 months to realize it. My periods were light but if I missed one day of taking the pill I would start spotting. Beware and watch for how your body reacts to this pill."


"I found Mysoline effective for my essential tremor, but the side effects of tiredness, lack of energy, plus reduced sexual function (difficulty in ejaculating) is quite frustrating."


"I used this in High School back in 2003 and I haven't suffered more then a zit on my face a year."


"I was diagnosed with Crohn's 28 years ago and have been on multiple medications over the years. I had a flare up in January of 2000 after being admitted to the hospital for a failing appendix. That is where I met my current Gastro Doctor.

I was put on Imuran with a side of Asacol, but was taken off the Asacol around 7 years ago. I have been taking 100mg of Imuran for 16 years with virtually no side effects and haven't had one flare up to speak of since 2000.

I know everyone is different, but Imuran has been super good to me!"


"I've been on Reclipsen for almost 3 months and have been a little more emotional and cried a little more but nothing horrible on the emotional side. I just recently experienced breakthrough bleeding out of the blue - basically as much as a pad a day. Today is day 3 of this, not sure why this happens but apparently it's a common side effect (at least for the first 3 months) hopefully it won't continue or else I may have to switch. Otherwise so far so good with this pill."


"I have had asthma since infancy.  (I am now 81!)  I have probably used all the common medications - i.e. albuterol, singulair, etc., etc. in my lifetime.  Dulera allows me the luxury of one puff at night, and a good night's sleep.  I am otherwise very healthy having long ago given up the things that are bad for health, like smoking, eating sweets, alcohol, and I have a wonderful life!  So part of it is the medication, and part of it is up to me - my lifestyle."


"I have been on Yasmin for 6-7 months now. I was on Sprintec before (the generic of Otho Cyclen) but I switched over because I thought Yasmin would be better at not causing weight gain. I definitely haven't noticed much weight gain, and everything has been great except for my acne. I have never really had bad acne before going on this pill. Yasmin caused cystic acne all over my cheeks, chin, and along my mouth/jawline. I remember reading that acne in these areas are always to do with your hormones. I skipped my period for the past 1-2 months so I decided to take off and go on the placebo week. Now that its my 4th day off of it, my acne has gone down significantly and is even starting to fade. I'm seriously thinking of stopping this pill."


"I started having really bad tachycardia episodes and my primary doctor tried to convince me it was anxiety. After lots of tests and wearing a heart monitor for a month my cardiologist said I had Supraventricular Tachycardia and I was put on metoprolol 12.5mg twice a day. It's great! I haven't felt this calm and comfortable in years! Doctors really need to stop assuming that anxiety is the diagnosis of everyone's problems. There's a bit of drowsiness and fatigue in the beginning but that goes away as your body gets used to it. I am very happy with this medication."


"I have Rosacea.  A dermatologist that wasn't worth his weight in gold gave me this medicine to use. Before I did, I researched it and found terrible reviews. All In all, I figured my Dr knew what he was talking about and ignored everyone saying how bad it was. I put it on and my Rosacea went away then 40 min later it was so bad my face burnt and turned tomato red. I stopped using after 4 days and my face was permanently red for 5 days after using this product. I would have figured I was the only one with a bad reaction if other people didn't complain about it too. Please! Find another product to use!!! How many bad reviews does it need to steer you away?!!"


"I've had great results (remission) by having this medicine for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis. Very thankful for this medicine."


"Everyday I felt as if an elephant was sitting on my chest and I was gasping for air. I treated this as asthma when I was actually hyperventilating- I felt like my body was out of my control. After a visit to the ER for hyperventilating, I was given this medicine. My life changed. Before, I had panic attacks just thinking about breakfast, but now it seams as though life is so much easier. I can breathe and I feel well, where as before I felt just a constant struggle. In my case, the physical symptoms of anxiety where ruining my life and I felt a constant hyperventilation. With the symptoms gone, I can now really experience things. "


"Theese realy work unlike the others."


"I got prescribed microbid. read all kind of review good and bad ones. Decides to give it a try. Ate like a pig and took the pill. I got so sick. I was light headed (like I consumed all kind of drugs) had sharp pain in my stomach. Got a fever. My back...ohh my back killed me. And I had difficulties breathing. Felt like I got kicked by a horse. I called sick 2 days in a row for work. And I only took 2 pills. Im stopping it. Gonna end up in the coffin much faster with that medication, I was all normal before taking that medication with a bit of UTI...now feel like I'm a rotten vegetable :("


"Just started on it a week ago after having no effect from diltiazem and a load of side effects. I don't feel like the dosage is high enough at 50 mg a day as my blood pressure spikes early morning at 145/100 upon waking and drops during the day after the medicines get in my system. I think I also may have sleep apnea that contributes to my high morning blood pressures. Finding a patient doctor has been very difficult as I have side effects from just about any medicine I take. I'm really hoping this will start working and take the tension out of my chest area."


"Got a 3-day sample and worked so well I felt like a normal human pooping for once. An hour after taking pill in the morning I'd have perfect thorough poops. Wow! Miraculous! Went through hell and high water to get prescription covered by AHCCCS only to find it no longer works. What? No side effects. Just nothing but the occasional half-assed soft stool. Sigh....back to the drawing board."


"Side effects are a bit annoying sometimes, but it's working for me so I'll put up with it. A side note- I'm taking this in addition to Wellbutrin and Cymbalta. All for my RSD... I have only had intermittent pain and it was extremely mild in comparison to before this combination."


"I hated it!  BLED constantly!  Made me thing crazy thoughts!  Never again."


"Maxalt is a very good migraine medicine for me. No side effects but only a little tired but that's good."


"The first time I used this medication it was great.  Just now I was prescribed Macrobid again. It took care of the bladder infection symptoms in two days.  Next day fever was l04, headache, Fever high only one day.  nausea, fatigue, high pulse (100), stomach pain, neck pain. muscle pain, lack of appetite. Stopped taking this med after 8 days and will never take it again."


"I have used it in several patients and the result was awesome."


"I have been on Paxil for a long time, years.  I was hospitalized for my Bipolar Disorder and they increased the dose from 20-40mg.  I got very agitated and very out of sorts.  When I saw my psychiatrist she put the dose back to 20mg and I'm doing good again.  More isn't always better!"


"About 4 weeks after starting this pill I started spotting. It was a brown color and was not enough for a pad/tampon or even panty liner. I could only notice it when I wiped. After 7 days I decided to stop taking the pill and let my period start. This did the trick and the spotting stopped. The period was not painful at all and I did not feel it at all which is wonderful. Aside from the spotting I have no complaints from this pill. Have been on it 7 weeks now."


"I just started my 5th pack of Ortho Cyclen. I have never taken any other birth control pills prior to this one so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but this one has worked well for me. My boyfriend and I are sexually active and do not want any children so I decided to the pill. My first couple of months on it I did feel little different - kind of anxious and more mood swings but that went away as I continued to take the pill and my body adjusted. The positive aspects I have noticed is it protects against pregnancy, is easy to swallow, makes your skin very healthy looking (my skin is glowing after a few months of taking), and makes my periods much much lighter than they were before starting on birth control."


"This pill is a miracle.  I started taking Phentermine 37.5 January 23, 2009.  I went for my follw up I had lost 13lbs by March 6th.  I work out daily and eat small portions throughout the day.  I havent had any problems with taking the medicine.  The only problem I have had recently is nausea.  Your appetite really is gone.  You have to make yourself eat.  If you don't you will put all of your weight back on.  I have lost several inches.  I went from a size 16 to a size 12. I'm happy and good luck to everyone. There is hope.  "


"Very effective. I feel human again. Sometimes you don't realize how far gone you are until you're better. No side effects other than weight gain which can be managed with a proper diet. I feel 100%. I'm also on Lithium, buspar, lexapro, and the Seroquel is 200mg. Seroquel really feels like it made the difference or topped it off."


"This medicine gave me way too much energy. The other night I went on a run at midnight, because I had to burn off the energy. I would say it definitely made me extremely manic. I also stopped getting my period on it, and my breasts grew larger as well. Strange.."


"22 years old, was on the pill for 5 years, no children. And I wanted something new. Well, I had my insertion approx. 2 hours ago and I have to say, it was painful. But it was a pain that is completely tolerable. Expect some discomfort and lightheadedness afterwards. Take it slow, I recommend laying down for an additional 10-15 mins (my gyno recommended this as well). I strongly advise having a close relative or significant other to drive!! The cramps lessen throughout time, and they come in extreme waves. But it's no worse than your first day period cramps. I know you're thinking "Eh... I'm still not sure...." But I'm here to tell you, this is a procedure that's worth it. Do it now, so you can be responsible in your future."


"I'm writing this to the ladies who are looking for some relief because I know how you feel! First off take a pregnancy test before you take the pill b/c it will NOT work if you already are pregnant! But I had unprotected sex on 11/1 , took the pill within two hours of the time & I got my period the 11/11 ! I didn't experience any symptoms the first couple days I took the pill but 3 days before my period I had terrible cramps & felt really dizzy. The thing is ladies do NOT stress AT ALL!! I kept myself occupied & didn't even think about it. I know it's scary but next time we all will learn to practice safe sex:) good luck to you all!!!"


"Was on this for about 3 weeks.  Sleep was horrible or almost non existent.  Was very anxious all day.  Could barely leave the house and was shaky all the time.  Made me way too amped up.  I have treatment resistant depression.  Thought this might be worth a try after failing with many SSRIs  (Zoloft was only one that worked for the most part but didn't get me all the way there).  Can help some people with anxiety.  I was not one of them.  Wanted to give it 4 weeks but could barely make the 3 week mark before I cracked."


"It's the best medication for my acid reflux, chronic heartburn. Two capsules and I no longer wake at night with painful heartburn. I can continue to enjoy my normal (somewhat spicy) foods without suffering afterwards.

Please note - the instructions tell you not to take it for more than 14 days. Then take a break of nearly 4 months before starting another course. The over the counter Prevacid is NOT for daily use ad infinitum.

If it doesn't help, then you need to see a doctor!!"


"Weight gain very rapid. It'd rather deal with constipation than the weight gain. "


"Works really well but one side effect was that my face dryed out."


"I am in my 60s and the pain in shoulders, hips, hands and knees was so invasive, I had problems sleeping and getting out of bed in the morning. After some research, (I was originally diagnosed with arthritis), I found my symptoms matched the condition of Polymyalgia Rheumatica exactly. My physician accommodated me with a 20mg. prescription for prednisone.
After two doses, my months-long battle with pain was completely over. I literally felt as if I'd been born again in the physical sense. For me, this medication was miraculous. Fortunately, I have not suffered any of the side effects such as swelling, etc.
Tapering off the medication, I've found that 5mg. is my threshold dose. Under that, the symptoms come back."


"My Neuro prescribed these for the Holy Trinity:  MS Fatigue + Uhtoff's Penomenon + Ten Hour Grave Shifts. She suggested Provigil or Nuvigil.  And after learning I work 10-hour shifts; went for Nuvigil because it lasts longer.

I totally had the "Beginner's High."  I was a little manic; but staying up through my shift with only a bit of body tiredness.  I have an easier time doing my complex, brain-consuming job (Network Engineer). I can fall asleep on schedule, and stay down for the most part.

As the drug has settled in; I'm not manic; but I am more upbeat and responsive. Overall, It's working. I sometimes have yawning fits, but I don't feel sleepy. Costs were reduced to $10/mo through Insurance (UHC)  + Teva's Savings Program."


"I really don't understand the negativity this birth control has. I started this in July 2016 and have had pretty much a standard experience in terms of taking bc. This isn't the first bc I've been on, but it's definitely the best. I suffer from PMDD so this bc is a life-saver. No longer am I on the floor in crippling pain, unable to move and/or walk. My periods are a lot lighter, as is the cramps/back&breast aches associated with it. & I don't understand 'this birth control made me gain weight!' It's been proven that birth control isn't the cause of weight gain. I'm still the size I've always been. I did, however, gain two cup sizes but shopping for cute bras is okay with me. It does it's job; unprotected sex with the fiance & not preggo."


"I've used the ring for about 2 months now, and it was the best alternative for a forgetful person like myself. I was on the pill before, but I had to stop using it because I'd often forget. Putting the ring in at first will feel a little weird, but once you put it in deep enough, you wont feel a thing. Plus, it wouldn't slide out! The only con I have is that after I take out the ring on the end of the 3rd week, my cramps from period seem to be more painful."


"As with any drug, it affects us all differently.

Been using for ~15 months now.

It worked fine with my body --

- No acne, no weight gain,

- Little to no tenderness of breasts before/during menstruation,

- Never had a pregnancy scare

BUT, after 12 months, my mood/feelings became dull and empty. I would get depressed here and there, then just recently had "stop feeling" emotionally. Nothing really gets to me now.. and I feel like a lifeless zombie. It's no good.

In addition, my sex drive plummeted around the same time too. It takes A LOT to get me in the mood now, just recently reached to the point of not wanting to do it at all with my boyfriend.

I will be stopping this BC method, trying Paraguard's IUD next; I think it'd be better."


"I had a wisdom tooth removed and developed an infection in my jaw. I was prescribed 1200 mg of Clindamycin a day.
 The pharmacist warned me that I should take with plenty of water, which I did. I also took it with food.
  The first time, I had to take 56 pills. Second time, 40. I just started another 56 pill stint of Clindamycin. I have had absolutely NO problems because it was stressed to be taken with PLENTY of water.
  Now, as far as the infection goes, I don't seem to be recovering from it even after having my jaw reopened and the bone scraped. I am very scared of what else this infection could do to me more so than the Clindamycin.
  Please take it as advised by the pharmacist."


"For me the medication worked fine as far as reducing the inflammation. My inflammation was in one of my eyes and it did relieve the inflammation but the side effects, wow. I have been drowsy off and on and had terrible stomach pains. For me I added this to my do not take list but for someone who is not taking it everyday probably would not have as much stomach upset. I took it every day for almost two weeks. Too long for something that is hard on someone's stomach."
