"after many years of problems i started taking this on a Saturday morning, i have the lower 25mg dose as i am sensitive to most tablets and found myself in retention a few years ago from one style of urge treatments, from day 1 i saw the difference - this is amazing, in a whole week i have only had one episode of urge, this is in UK NICE guidelines as a 3rd line treatment (gold standard) you have to try other lines first and my GP didn't want me to have it really as it cost a whole £29/30 tabs - but push for this treatment i find it amazing and the only side effect i have is a slightly dry mouth - i will live with that!!!!"


"I was given a prescription for oxycodone while passing a kidney stone. This medicine has worked miracles for the pain that brought tears to my eyes."


"40 yrs old. Had testicular cancer at 30, left testi removed. About 2 years after I started having pain in between my scotum and rectum. Was diagnosed with prostatitis , doc put me on rapaflo. Said it could take up to 3 weeks for it to start to work. First thing I noticed with in 24 hrs was retrograde ejaculation.. Vary concerning at first then I read into side effects.. (Thanks doc for not giving any heads up). It took me about 3 days befor my pain was lessened..and about 2 weeks befor it was almost gone. Now I can get away without taking it for 3-5 days befor I start getting sore...but it's a catch 22 since the timing for me to have a normal ejaculation is about 3-4 days off the meds.

3-4 days of use is not enough time for it to work prop."


"I had the Implanon implanted on February of 2012. The insertion process was pretty painless. Only thing that hurt was the numbing shot. After that, I didn't have a period for about a week, then I got a very light period for nearly 6 months. May sound bad, but it really wasn't. Very light, no cramps or anything with a regular period, only light bleeding. After the 6 months it stopped for a couple months, then was back again for nearly 2 weeks, still very light bleeding. I have had just a few mood swings, but other then that no side effects. I recommend it. It works great."


"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 started same day I received my prescription, weighed in at doctors office at 302lbs! In 30 days I have lost 27 lbs. For me Belviq has been magical! Whatever you eat you feel satisfied, no cravings, no night time snacking, no side effects! I am walking faithfully minimum of 5 days a week 2 miles a night! I now have started doing sit ups, side bends and light weight exercises! Every family member, friends, even people I don't know if they are interested in weight loss I tell them the success I am having on Belviq and guide them to the site! I am beyond happy and for me this is life changing."


"Went on Sertraline about 20 months ago . Started on 50mg and gradually upped to 100mg. Had a few side effects to start with . Dizziness  ( which I was getting with anxiety anyway) tiredness and nausea. Stuck with it and after a few weeks they passed. They were fantastic for me , really helped . Could feel the anxiety and anger but it seemed to go away or never really surface . Unfortunately I thought I was ok after a while and came off them without asking my doctor and the anxiety has come back so I'm starting again today pm 25mg . I hope they help as well as they did the first time"


"I should have never put the skyla in.. I was on the Nuva ring for years and didn't like how I would have to keep changing it every month and that it kept slipping out. I was skeptical about the skyla.. but i decided to give it a try. I went into the doctors office and she was only measuring my cervix and I was screaming in pain.. so she gave me a shot in my cervix to numb me but it still really really hurt. Tried having sex 3 days later and he could feel my strings and hurt us. Went to get them cut & the dr. cut them too short. They couldn't find my strings so i got an ultra sound and it turns out I have a 5cm ovarian cyst from the skyla. Getting it taken out but they have to go in with a scope because the strings are too short to pull out."


"Been on amitriptyline for 2 weeks for nerve pain after shingles. It has reduced discomfort from an 8 to a 3 most days. I take 10 mg at night and other than some grogginess the first 3-4 days, no side effects. I sleep well on it too."


"My mother was prescribed risperidone for a mood disorder at 81. It was a god send, she was a nuisance living on her own in the community and thought she was in witness protection for something she couldn't really explain. It settled her down and made her more approachable. The only problem was she didn't sleep and used to call out to the staff all night and disturb everyone. She still has her good and bad days, but overall it was beneficial and we can reason with her these days, where prior she would just tell us all to get knicked."


"I did not like this birth control for many reasons: it made me catty and snap at people, my period discharge became thick and painful, and worst of all I could feel the ring during sex. On the other hand the convenience of not worrying about taking pills was nice."


"My only complaints about this medicine are that it gave me a profoundly spaced out feeling for about three hours after I took it and it had to be taken with food, otherwise I loved it! It really helped with my paranoia and anxiety during the day. It didn't cause any weight gain and helped stabilize my mood. I only discontinued because I went on Saphris and the two do not mix."


"I started 150mg of Wellbutrin XL in Jul 2013 due to feeling very unmotivated, depressed, tired, and hopeless. After a few days I felt good, and by the second week I felt better than I had in several years. I increased the dose to 300mg in Oct because I was starting to feel down again. It helped a lot but by Jan I was very irritable/angry/bitter, so I lowered the dose to 150mg and restarted 40mg of Prozac and the anger subsided. To address some side effects: inability to fall asleep (went away after 2-3 weeks), increased libido (awesome), pretty much the same appetite (no weight loss or gain), vivid dreams (sometimes disturbing), more emotional (but not crazy/extreme), constipation (moderate-severe), sensitivity to caffeine (must avoid)."


"I was prescribed this for Collagenous (microscopic) Colitis and it worked immediately with the first dose.  I take three 3mg capsules at once in the morning. I've been on it for 15 months straight with no side effects but I do have to have a bone density scan once a year.  I have tried weaning off the medicine but my symptoms return so looks like I'm on this for life. Entocort is my miracle. It helps me live a normal life."


"I'm 18. I've been on this pill for 5 months and I am switching as soon as possible. This pill causes me to have intense cramps. Not just while I'm on my period, but all month long. They are so painful I have to lay down in a fetal position until they stop, which is usually 15-30 minutes. Besides the extreme pain, I also experienced bad mood swings. The week before and the week I'm on my period I am a raging animal. It is very hard to control. I've used several other birth control pills in the past two years but I have never experienced PMS like this before."


"After suffering with undiagnosed bipolar for many years until recently being diagnosed and prescribed quetiapine 50 mg daily.  It knocks me out for at least 8/9 hours so half my days gone if I take them at night I still don't sleep weird I know - but I can't wake up properly from them :/ good to block everything out but my days go"


"I've been on it for about 12 months. I'm supposed to get my next shot but I'm not I would rather get my regular cycle back than the depo. I had a lightish period for 8 months with a few days every so often that it would stop but start again at night. I was told that after 8 months it should stop. After a few weeks of month 9 it was still going. Finally it stopped for a good month I was so glad I thought it was over. I was wrong I've had a period for 2 months straight again but this time it's a regular 2 month long period that hopefully stops. I just want to go back to a normal cycle again. I've also been moody, impatient, gained some weight, more acne. I wasn't like that before. The depo sucks"


"My experience  all good"


"I can finally focus"


"I have been on the medication for 4 weeks now.  No side effects really. I feel full all the time so when I eat I am definitely not over eating any longer. I haven't lost any weight yet but I just started exercising. I will post a review in a month or so with updates if there are any.  The cost is 100 through my insurance but they have a discount card that brings it to 30"


"I just recently started on this medicine for hallucinations and etc. It has caused some several things. One. I'm tired all the time. two. Sleep for about 14 hours a days. three. muscle hurts. and so on. I don't know what to do, I was previously on Risperidone and gained over 50lbs. Not happy at all with my life as of right now."


"Good for depression. Akathisia was horrible!"


"Sensational medication. Provigil taken alone for my narcolepsy kept me awake and alert when needed yet allowed me to take my short nap(s) through out the day when needed."


"I started this birth control completely fine the first week. After the first week I started bleeding bad and continued to take the pill. I had been bleeding for 3 months straight while on cryselle"


"Initially I was on Yasmin for 1 Year.  Noticeable changes/side effects were:
Weight-loss, Hair-thining, More emotional, Lighter periods

I went off it for a month (I forgot to renew my prescription) and in that month I put on about 2kg, was not so emotional and my period was a little heavier.  Also, the first two weeks of being off Yasmin, my body was super-sensitive!  Possibly both a good and bad thing?

I am now back on Yasmin and the old side-effects are kicking in again.  Overall, I would say it works well with my body so will continue to use it.  Recommend it if it works with your body too, the only way to tell is to try it really."


"Ive had hyperhidrosis for over 5 years now, on my hands feet and underarms. It was honestly so frustrating not being able to wear light tshirts and growing completely petrified when someone offered to shake my hand. I couldnt even hold my boyfriends hand! It was miserable. But drysol is magic and has changed my life. For me it isnt necessary to apply every night, or my skin burns pretty bad and gets a rash. So usually I will apply it 2 or 3 times a week and i literally do not sweat one drop on my underarms. I completely recommend drysol."


"For extreme fatigue I have taken Adderall 10mg a day for 6 month with occasional missing a day. It gives me great energy, negates my fatigue and seams to asuages a slight depression."


"My insomnia has gotten out of hand recently and diphenhydramine and melatonin were no longer working for me. I received the sample pack of suvorexant from my doctor. I took 20 mg and it had absolutely no effect on me at all. Took a few hours to go to bed and woke up less than 4 hours later. What a joke! Maybe it works for others and maybe I have some problem with my thyroid for example (still waiting to receive results from my bloods) that causes this not to work for me."


"I've suffered from migraines for 25   years. I had my first appointment with a headache specialist /neurologist this month and she started me on nortriptyline (Pamelor) 10 mg, 1 x day for a week and step up to 30 mg daily. That was a Monday. I had a severe migraine from Monday night until Saturday as my last dose was Thur night and headache carried over into Friday. Saturday was much better. I also experienced a terrible pressure in my neck and head like my BP was elevated (normally my BP is great unless I'm in pain). I was incredibly irritable as well. In short.... No. Just no. I won't take it ever again."


"Was doing well on 4 mg risperidone but wanted to try an injectable long acting med. Doctor suggested I start with Invega oral to be sure it would work. Tried 6 mg Invega for a month but never felt as good as with risperidone. Made me depressed, tired, insomnia and even had some breakthrough delusions. So glad I didn't go straight to injections. Restarted risperidone and feel good again. It must work for some people but not for me. No data anywhere comparing Invega to risperidone which is odd because the drugs are related. No evidence this is a better drug than risperidone."


"Provigil is one of, if not the most effective medicines I have ever been prescribed. I had never heard of it when my doctor prescribed it. At first, I took 100MG 1-2 times a day. Now after 3  years, I take 200MG 2 times daily. "


"I have been taking Yaz for about a month now and so far so good. Other than some nausea, I've had no problems. Hopefully that doesn't change."


"Update started 5-18-2015 @274lb ten days later I was at 261 lb. This was by exercising eating a lil better also taking water pills and a B12 shot. On 6-15 I was @ 257lb exercising slowed down my eating habits keep improving but I am trying to work out more.Yes I do the B12 also I don't get too much of a rush of phentermine really (37.5 btw) I work at 4am so the B12 really helps. I have noticed though if I take the pill and forget to eat or don't wait 30mins I don't feel it as much. I do half pill first thing in the AM and the other half around 1. So far I love this pill my weight is a constant struggle and this gives me hope . I am 25 f 5'7 would love to read more ppls reviews coming to this blog is a big motivator for me.I pay $85 for this and $20 for the B-12"


"I had the Implanon inserted in my arm 01/09.  For 6 weeks I had no period, which was great, then in March I started to bleed, and bled until the end of June.  I stopped bleeding for 3 weeks.  After the 3 week break it started right back up.  Since March I have also been very depressed, anxious, and just felt PMS all the time; my OBGYN put me on antidepressants for a few months, she said that it should not be related to the Implanon, but I cannot help but feel that it is since it coordinates with my bleeding.  I have not had any weight gain, but I do not feel like I have been myself for 8 months now.  After reading these other reviews I don't feel so crazy, and confused, and will probably have it removed soon."


"I have very bad panic and anxiety attacks. Attack would last for up to 3 to 4 hours. It first started when I was 30 years old and was admitted to a mental institution for a month for my own protection. I am now 46 years old ,when I now feel an attack coming on I can basically control it now and take 1 mg of Klonopin. It does take some time to work, but when it kicks in, it works great. I did at one stage try go off it, but the withdrawals were so bad I had to go back on it. I take 1mg at night and then as needed. To all you people out there who think you are alone with this monster in your head, you are not. Think and say positive thoughts, its works."


"Been on Pristiq for a month now changing from Cymbalta. Cymbalta did nothing for me, Pristiq is starting to help. Have had unresponsive major depression along which chronic anxiety for 5 years now. Have tried so many antidepressants of which none were effective for the depression and anxiety. But had a huge serving of various side effects as most mentioned.

Now, Anxiety under limited control, depression is lifting but is hard to say how much. I had forgotten what "normal"  feels like. So far P is helping but a long way to Go."


"I have been taking Belviq for 7 days. I've lost 6lbs. I feel hungry at random times but nothing ever looks good. Portions are really reduced. I had dry mouth first two days but no other side effects. I want to drink water all the time now and can't seem to finish an alcoholic drink. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome which makes weight loss ridiculously hard, this medication is a fantastic motivator."


"Although it has only been three months my quality of life is so much better than before. An answer to my prayer to fix my heart. Thank you!"


"I had the Nexplanon inserted 6 weeks after having my son, while I was still moderately bleeding from giving birth. I have not stopped bleeding for 11 weeks now. It's frustrating but I keep hoping that when it finally stops it will be regular again. I was on the depo for 2 years and it did the same thing. 2 months of bleeding and then no period for the remainder of the time I used it. Definitely going to talk to Doc about it at my appt next week."


"I think that this is one of the best medicines out there. I take 2 mg four times a day and it just seems to keep me calm and make the world a better place. I used to stress out about the smallest things now, I just go with the flow."


"Three days of this drug and I feel like the walking dead. Fevers, extreme body aches and bone pain. I feel like I've been beaten by baseball bats. No vomiting or diarrhea, but I would have gladly accepted these symptoms in exchange for the ones I have. Strep throat and natural childbirth have nothing on the effects of this drug."


"I've been on this pill every since august and its been great so far. No side effects from it. I have been taking the pills before my pcos diagnosis. I got diagnosed the end of August a week or two after starting the pill. So far I haven't had no side effects or anything. Everything's great."


"For a few years I have had this horrid smell coming from under my crown. I have had dental care from my dentist but the smell would persist. My dentist said he didn't notice an abscess but I told him that fluid was leaking from under the crown as well. I tried amoxicillin for 14 days (two seperate runs) and it calmed the smell down some but once I stopped the med, the smell came back full force. I am about to finish flagyl and I don't notice the smell at all. This is great, taste like crap but it works."


"My blood glucose was under control with readings around 100. I was taking long acting insulin twice  a day and short acting 3 times a day. My doc insisted I switch to tresiba (50u). My appetite has increased, especially craving for carbs. My fasting morning  blood glucose is often over 200"


"For Migraine Prevention Ive tried amitriptyline, Imitrex, propranolol ,Fioricet & Topamax and for a while and they worked but the side effects were insane. However, the zonesamide works very well for preventing my migraines. I take 300 mg a day. Word finding and memory, I don't even know what those are anymore. However, I was living in constant pain. Nothing was working for me. This is the only thing that has done anything for me in quite some time, so do I walk around with a child like mind or not be able to get out of bed because of the pounding migraines?!?"


"I have experienced severe dry mouth after using Pro-denRX aqueous gel for teeth brushing.  I used it for three weeks before I finally realized that my dry mouth started when I began the use of the toothpaste.  I have stopped using Pro-denRX and hope the side effects will eventually disappear.  It has only been two days since I stopped use, so it is too early to tell much.  My mouth is still severely dry."


"Only thing that keeps me sane and under my own control"


"This is the first Birth Control I've ever been on and so far I am very happy with it. I've been on it for going on 3 months, and at first it was rough but now things are great. The first week I was an emotional wreck!! The Second week I spotted for 9 days. The Third week my attitude was back to normal and I wasn't spotting. I haven't had headaches, I haven't gained weight anywhere other than my boobs, and I haven't had any cramps. And best of all my periods that were normally 5-7 days are now 3 days! Other than biting my best friends head off the first week I was on it, I am totally satisfied with this birth control!"


"Was using risperdal before, was experiencing very bad anxiety attacks and great loss of impulse control. I then started Catapres and it helps ticks moderately but mostly with the anxiety and impulse control."


"This medication has been a miracle. My migraines have been disabling to the point where I could not turn my neck and I could not stand up. With this medication, I can live my life. I am on 150 mg a day. Thank you topamax!"


"I have been on Effexor 37.5 mg for three months for Hot Flashes. After my first bedtime dose, I was feeling lightheaded and a little jittery the next morning but those symptoms went away after three days. Before Effexor I would wake up several times a night due to the Hot Flashes. I am a totally different person and a pleasure to be around. I am dating again after a two year hiatus and the medication has not affected my sex drive."


"Not effective whatsoever.  Took a 20mg dose and felt absolutely nothing.  Very disappointing but luckily, I used the 10-day free trial voucher so I wasn't out any money."


"There seems to be a lot more negative reviews on this than positive, but I can't recommend the Nexplanon enough! I was recommended this as I get extremely nauseous with most birth control pills, and haven't experienced any since getting it.  I got the implant in Oct 2014, and have had only one period since. I have gotten occasional spotting, but it's been extremely minimal (literally like a spot), and it's only been a total of three days out of nine months. I've actually lost weight and my skin has cleared up as well. I do have a suspicion that this has made me more susceptible to headaches, but they are very infrequent and manageable. I didn't think birth control would ever be this hassle free and effective!"


"I started taking Monodox four days ago, and I already can see a difference. I am 26 years old and I didn't have acne on my teenage years, none! About a year ago I started breaking out more and more, I thought it was stress, then my nutrition, then an allergy, I tried everything you can imagine from homemade remedies to recently I bought the Murad acne kit, which helped a little bit. I did facial and it made it worse, so I decided to visit a dermatologist and he gave me Monodox and Atralin for night time and aczone for morning. So far I haven't broken out and I hope this really helps."


"I was on the Depo for about 2 1/2 years, and after some initial spotting (about 9 months) I loved it. Super easy, nearly painless, very effective. If it weren't for the bone loss controversy, I'd still be on it. I didn't notice any side effects, my period was replaced by light spotting about 3 weeks before I was due for my next shot."


"Took 1 Mucinex DM around 6 PM. My experience is like many here. It worked great on my congestion, but it is midnight and I am wide awake. I found this site searching for "Does Mucinex DM keep you awake?" Yup, it does."


"I had an ectopic pregnancy after only 7 months of using Skyla.  My right fallopian tube was removed, I was in the hospital for 5 days and was in the worst pain of my life.  When I got it it sounded great - no worries for three years, more cost effective in the long run, but as it turned out I shelled out almost 300 dollars for 6 months and then had to pay thousands in hospital bills on top of that.  I wish I had opted for ANY. OTHER. METHOD."


"I have been on Adipex for 1 week and have lost 13lbs. I exercise everyday and have put myself on a low calorie diet.  I have noticed that my craving for food has subsided and I love that. I have had some side effects but not that bad. My weigh in was 308lbs, now I am 296lbs. So happy and ready to loss more. Oh yeah cut the pop drinks only drink water."


"I am on day 3 of cefdinir for bronchitis.  I can tell my coughing is much better but now I have horrible diarrhea, to the point I have accidents when I cough. My stomach makes horrible sounds as well.  My Dr. did not tell me anything at all about the side effects so I was not prepared to take with yogurt or probiotics.  And I had a horrible reaction in the past to Metformin so she should know that I already have these issues.  Time for different med and Dr."


"I started taking Apetamin syrup which is the generic brand for Periactin. It contains the same ingredient -cyproheptadine- which stimulates your appetite. I couldn't find it in stores so I ordered it on Amazon for 17.00 and it arrived in 2 days. I'm 4'11 and I've always been small and had a hard time gaining weight except during my pregnancies. This stuff works!!! I have been eating everything in sight and for the first time I'm able to finish my entire meal. I started taking this on Jan. 31 2016 at 95 lbs by the time I weighed myself on Feb 10 I had gained 7 lbs. I couldn't believe it. I knew my clothes felt tighter and looked better on me but I was not expecting a 7 lb gain so fast. My goal is 120 lbs :)

BW= 95lbs
CW=102lbs
GW=120"


"I started March 2015 @380lb,wasn't sure it would work but was willing and needed to give it a try.The first week got on that scale 373lb,I started to believe this could work;as time passed the weight was falling off,weeks went on more weight was melting away final weight loss was 355lb.Please remember you didn't put the weight on over night and it's not coming off over night. I stop taking the medication due to cost but I'm back. My starting weight now was 364lb,went to dr last week down to 351lb.Belviq works just give it time."


"I suffer from PTSD, depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I previously took Xanax, but it was too short acting for me. I needed a benzodiazepine that was longer acting, since my anxiety goes on for a long time. I like that Ativan lasts 6-8 hours, in which I need for times of long time anxiousness. However I have realized that smoking cigarettes lessens the effectiveness of benzodiazepines, so I will have to work around that. Anyway, Ativan is great for people like me who have anxiety and panic attacks."


"I have bipolar 2, generalized anxiety disorder and suffer panic attacks. I am given Valium 5mg to take 'when needed'. While I feel it works well on generalized (mild to moderate) anxiety, it's not the most effective medication to take to during acute episodes like in a panic attack. I feel the 5mg isn't enough. Also if you take it even every few days, it pretty quickly becomes less effective meaning you may have to increase the dose. I now take 10mg as needed. It's very helpful, and I find it to be very effective, but perhaps not strong enough during acute panic attacks, but in general this medication is a blessing."


"I have been taking Bystolic 5mg 2x a day for the last 2 years.  I was 33 yrs old when I discovered my blood pressure was high (150/105 approx) ouch. I don't have any of the risk factors for high blood pressure.  Dr said it is probably just genetic.  My blood pressure has been controlled and has been normal ever since I started taking Bystolic.  I have not had any negative side effects at all."


"I started taking this a month ago and my skin has cleared up quite a bit but the downsides are too many. I have had breakthrough bleeding (which was expected so not such an issue) but extreme mood changes within just a few weeks. I feel negative constantly and so unbelievably tired, the worst part of all is the nausea. I am nauseous all the time and am having a really hard time doing normal things like working out. I did not gain any weight and have lost my appetite due to the nausea. I went on this medication to help with migraines and admittedly have had fewer but the other side effects aren't worth it."


"I have been on Belviq for about three weeks and have lost about 12 lbs...not bad!  This is not a magic pill, but it is definitely helping control how much I eat. But to be honest, I am overweight because I like to eat and like the taste of food...especially sweets. It doesn't keep me from eating when I "want" to eat something whether I am hungry or not. It still takes willpower to lose pounds. If you are determined to discipline yourself to diet, then this pill will help you. If you are expecting to lose weight by only taking this pill and not changing your eating habits, you probably won't lose weight. I will continue to take it because I am losing weight, but I am also disciplining myself to eat right."


"I suffer from both BED and bipolar disorder. Binge eating is a big trigger for my episodes so it effects my life in a huge way. I am not overweight by anyone's standards other than my own, so I have not lost weight on this drug, but this medication has practically saved my life. I refer to it as miracle drug. Food no longer controls my life. I no longer binge in private so I'm free to eat in public and enjoy food the way it was meant to be enjoyed, with friends and loved ones. I can eat a cookie without eating the entire box. I can eat a scoop of ice cream without devouring the entire carton. I can eat something unhealthy without being depressed and miserable for the entire week because of it."


"Works fast. After 2 hours will make your mind clear. Like you are a different person."


"Not good.  The first few days were fine though not overly impressive, after that more redness and itching.  It also doesn't appear to compatible with any of the moisturizers I have tried.  I've stopped using it and my face is less red and much better.  $20 in the garbage, I would not recommend this to anyone.  And judging by all the others with issues I'm surprised it's still on the market."


"1) Cleared my skin up within 4 months. Still occasional problem spots around the time of my period but it's a joke compared to what I used to have to put up with.

2) POTENTIALLY IMPORTANT: When I got to the last week of hormonal pills (the super-strength hormone loaded ones before the week of placebos) for the first 5ish months on the pill I found that I would be prone to existential emotional breakdowns or feel more anxious/depressed than usual that week. I didn't notice the correlation for an embarrassing amount of time. I was very relieved when I did figure it out and I wish I had figured it out sooner. Now that I've been on it for a year this problem has almost disappeared. Just something to be aware of for the first few months!"


"I have suffered with abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding for my entire reproductive life - starting with my very first period at age 12. I am now 48 and had the Mirena inserted two years ago as I could no longer tolerate birth control pills. It has been wonderful, I do still get periods but they are short and light with no cramping. Who knew that regular tampons would be useful? Yesterday I went for a check-up and my hemoglobin count was 14. The best I had ever achieved before this was 11. My doctor said that for the first time in my life I could now donate blood instead of wondering if I may need a transfusion. Go Mirena!"


"Have used Cymbalta and then Lyrica for years.  Weight gain and blurred vision were the worst side effects.  I have now been on Savella for about a month and the side effects are awful.  Constipation is the worst!  Even so bad I have been to the emergency room feeling like I was in labor.  The sweats are almost unbearable.  I also have chills and insomnia.  Headaches are now a daily occurrence. "


"The side effects!!! On Day 2 I felt nauseated throughout the day then at night the vomiting started, diarrhea followed. I suffered through but the next day I was rushed to the hospital. I was put on IV fluids and stuff to stop the vomiting. It has been 3 days  since I stopped taking it, still battling with my appetite and the sour taste in my mouth as well as fatigue."


"Had been on time release OxyContin, 20 mg., 2x daily for 2.5 years for severe neuropathy and arthritis in both feet.  But insurance changed and had to switch to MS Contin's generic, Morphine ER, 30mg., twice a day.  Was dubious this would be as effective as OxyContin, but has worked like a charm!  Been on it for a year now, same dosage. Before time-release pain meds, I was in SO much pain.  Now, I'm nearly pain free and its given me my life back.  I can't do too much strenuous walking, but can do things like run errands or take my daughter to the mall.  I'm in the process of talking to my dr. about something for breakthrough pain, which hits when I overdo it, or sometimes around the 10 hour mark, and have 2 hours to wait."


"I have PCOS, and have been seeing a weight management Doctor over the last year. With her help, a combination of medicine and supplements I was able to lose 45lbs. I kept hitting plateaus at about 30lbs down. I then started to gain weight no matter how much I was exercising and eating right. I ended up gaining 12 lbs in about 8 weeks. She put me on saxenda and in the last three weeks I have lost 10lbs! I'm hoping this will break my plateau problems and get my body back on track to losing weight. I have stayed at the 1.2 dose because it's working for me. I don't see a need to increase if I'm still losing at that dose. I have no side effects other than constipation."


"Worked for me and I can NEVER sleep. Only downfall is it takes so long to kick in.
Woke up 7 hours later feeling fine."


"I am 57yrs. My sister in law mentioned that she took Premarin for 5 years with no side effects. I was intrigue, I never heard of this medication.  I went to my doctor and asked for Premarin, she prescribed me 0.3mg. Wow, amazing results! No side effects. I just finished my 30 days’ supply, went back to my doctor; asked for a little higher dosage because I was still having hot flashes & vaginal dryness, so she prescribed another 30 days on 0.45. Of course, my doctor does not recommend this medication because all the possible side effects specially heart attack: I told her let me try and see how I feel. Now I will have one more month at .45mg, I will see what are the results. I will keep everyone posted."


"I have been a diabetic for 10 years, I have been on Metformin 2000mg, sitagliptin 100mg and 80mg gliclazide, my numbers have always been 12mmol after food, 10.5 to 12 mmol always in the morning. 7 days ago I was prescribed Invokana 100mg 1x daily, At first nothing happened 6 days, then since yesterday I was shocked to be honest, as my after meal reading was 6.2mmol, what was most welcome was my am sugars yesterday they were 7.2 mmol and then today they were 7.4mmol (I had a apple crumble) which I never would have before bed!

I have just checked my sugar again before my evening meal and it is 7.5mmol, never been this low iin years, I have been drinking 500ml of water every two hours for a long time, even so never seen these numbers."


"I'm so shocked that this medication has so many terrible reviews. I have IBS which switches from diarrhea to constipation and back, I also take pain meds occasionally for bad migraines and sometimes the combination leaves me extremely backed up. I have used both the pills AND the suppositories of this med (not at the same time) and both work great for me with very little side effects. I'm also a nurse and we use it a lot at the hospital for constipation, it's very effective!"


"I sometimes get a headache and some fatigue the day of and after the infusion, but this has done wonders in keeping my MS symptoms at bay. My lesions haven't been active for about a year now, which I believe is because of the Tysabri."


"When my calf swelled up hard, felt like a golfball was in it. I waited a week for the swelling to subside thinking it was a strain. Since it didn't subside I saw my doc who had me get the ultrasound and the dvt was confirmed. I was put on xarelto 30mg a day for 21days. In 3 days, the swelling was gone but I continued the med per drs presciption.  After 15 days on the med, I started experiencing Tinnitus that sounds like a dentist drill. After 30 days on the med I now have a non stop migraine and 24x7 tinnitus. I stopped the drug for 48hours and the symptoms subsided. IMHO the drug works great till the DVT is cleared, but then it starts doing more harm than good. I think the drug co knows this, but wants the $$$$ sales."


"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!"


"Having been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder over ten years ago and taking Xanax 1 mg. twice a day, I was surprised when my doctor prescribed Lexapro, not instead of, but in addition to.  He said it was a mood stabilizer, but I know its and SSRI generally used as an anti-depressant.  Medical guidelines now require, or at least I've been told as much by my doctor, that primary physicians are required to ask questions regarding mental health.  I was asked, "Have you in the past two weeks lost interest in your normal activities?"  No.  "Have you in the past two weeks had thoughts of suicide?"  No.  Still, he prescribed the Lexapro and I started taking it.  The side effects were horrible.  Every symptom of depression, which I didn't have"


"Hi,
 I would like to share my story with you, I am a 29 year old Female from South Africa,  Extremely overweight.   I started my weight loss journey on the 23 May 2017.

Weight Started: 90 Kg – 23/05/17
Current Weight: 83.4Kg – 01/06/17
Weight lost: 6.4Kg – 8 days
Goal Weight: 60

Symptoms were extremely mild, Slight nausea and vomiting."


"I have severe insomnia which causes sleep deprivation, hallucinations and so was prescribed quetiapine and I took it for 3 nights until I passed out on my kitchen floor the fourth day and ended up in Emergency where they discovered my blood sugar was 9 (162). I've stopped taking quetiapine but it has left me with type 2 diabetes which I did not have before, I'd been recently checked for several things including diabetes as part of my normal health care."


"I have used Advil (Ibuprofen) for over a year for most headaches. It works like a charm, better than any other medicine I've tried, even ones previous doctors have recommended (my current one does recommend Advil). When I was a kid, I used the children's Advil (chewable), and it still worked great. It didn't taste like grease, unlike most other children's medicine I had. Now as an adult, I still love it. I've never experienced any side effects, nor have I ever had any negative reactions to it. It starts kicking in super quickly, and the headaches don't tend to come back after I take a tablet of Advil. Overall highly recommended, not too pricey (especially for the amount of drug in each capsule and for the number of capsules in a container)."


"I've had this birth control since February 26th. It didn't hurt to get it put in, as long as it's taken care of the right away afterward you should be perfectly fine. Honestly, it was sore just as it should be, but I didn't notice it after it healed. It does ache sometimes now. In February after I got the implant I bled for about a week but it was very light. Since then I have not had a period. I haven't gained weight or lost my hair. I do break out a little more often and I'm very tired more often than I used to be. But I highly recommend it even past these side effects."


"Been on Jardiance 25mg for 10 months. I’ve lost 35 pounds, A1C dropped from 7.8 to 6.2.  I don’t feel I urinate excessively and sometimes get up once a night to go to the bathroom.  I’m beginning to get low blood sugars during the day so may have to cut back on other diabetic meds I’m taking.  I’ve had one UTI which I had no symptoms with, just caught it in a routine urine test.  I feel tired a lot, not sure it’s related to this med. also, I’ve lost a ton of hair. My hair is so thin now I can’t believe it.  Anyone else suffer hair loss since taking this med?  It’s done wonders for my diabetes and weight loss, would hate to have to stop taking it."


"Changed my life.  Night and day difference.  Only side effect... Sleepiness"


"Got to say that this medicine was worth it so much.  I was put on megestrol 20 mg for 20 days and I had no side effect to this medicine. I started taking it and by the 5th day the heavy bleeding had stop. This is the second time being put on megestrol 20mg. I know everybody has a different opinion on this medication, and for what's it worth I'm happy with the outcome every single time."


"Good Results"


"Was prescribed this for severe Sciatica and piriformis inflammation. This drug did absolutely NOTHING other than knock me out for few hours of deep sleep every time am bad drowsiness. I was then able to find some SOMA which is a miracle pain killer drug by comparison. Even better than the Percosets without apparent side effects. Yet, the doctors are completely paranoid to prescribe it unlike this useless Flexeril. Just check out the reviews on both drugs and compare."


"I have been taking this medication for years. At first it was great it helped me a lot with my temper and sad feelings. I have had some ups and downs with it.  At one time I was taking 2.5 pills and was having trouble remembering things, and extreme trouble driving due to drowsiness. I cut back to one and tried to go off them but my moods started to swing out of control.  Now I am on one and half tabs, and am feeling depressed again.  My eyes are watery and I feel like crying a lot but that may be due to the fall coming on."


"This medication is life sustaining.  I take a total of 20 mg divided into several doses throughout the day.  It has supported muscle development so that now, after a year of treatment I am a healthy weight for my height and am able to live an active life.  No digestive issues.  No sleep issues.  No other side effects.  My blood pressure has increased to a healthy level.  I no longer have spells of dizziness or see stars."


"I have been on this birth control pill for the last 6 months and I am completely miserable. It was originally prescribed as a generic for Loloestrin, but that simply cannot be the case. I have been chronically bloated, emotional, spotting, on top of which I am also experiencing a regular to heavy period. When I was on Lolo I had no negative side effects and it effectively minimized my monthly period. Ultimately, I feel really misinformed by the PA who prescribed this as a generic."


"I've been dealing with acne for over a year now which has resulted in unsightly dark spots around the sides of my face and forehead. I've used numerous chemical peels and microdermabrasion's which did not help. Finally I seen a dermatologist who prescribed Tri-Luma, and I can honestly say that it has only been a week and my dark spots are almost unnoticeable! This is TRULY a miracle in a tube! This cream is not covered with Aetna insurance, they consider this for cosmetic purposes. Retail price  is about $160, but I found a coupon online which dropped the price to $110. I would definitely recommend this to ANYONE who has dark spots from acne scars!"


"I am a 27 overweight female who has NEVER had a normal period. My period sometimes last several weeks... I was prescribed this medication today, a Friday, I took the Friday pill and within hours my bleeding completely stopped. There is nausea associated so I recommend taking every night so you can sleep through it."


"I got this birthcontrol twice, and let me tell you... SWITCH YOUR BIRTHCONTROL AFTER THE FIRST TIME. First time was in 2012-2015; first time experience was great, no period, no cramps, weight gain or weird pains, I couldn't even feel it. I developed horrible acne but I got it under control and I got crazy of-the-wall mood swings that I didn't realize I developed. 100% effective with me, times where I should have gotten pregnant it never happened not even a scare.

 Second time has been absolutely horrible. Mood swings went crazy, I got depression and anger issues. irregular periods that would come and go when ever it pleased shortest one lasted about a week and a half. Needless to say I got it removed not even a yr into it."


"Improved breathing 50% the frist time I used it."


"I noticed that I had no appetite at all while taking Effexor."


"I've been taking this birth control to help with ovarian cysts. It has helped , but I'm am experiencing bad stomach issues; such as nausea, stomach pain, and throwing up! Does it ever end??? Ugh "


"only concern- prolonged use. (generic form)"


"NatureThroid seriously changed my life! I did so terrible on Synthroid; I was gaining weight despite the fact that I was working out and eating well, loosing my hair, major brain fog and headaches with aura and joint pain.  I feel awesome on NatureThroid and am loosing weight even."


"Has helped my quality of life incredibly."


"My experience with this drug has been overwhelmingly positive. I suffer from panic attacks, as well as agoraphobia, and despite having been on Valium for many years now, it has retained its efficacy and it has greatly enhance the quality of my life. Frankly, I do not know what I would do without it. Yes, yes, yes, I am all too well aware of the numerous warnings and tales of woe which have accompanied usage of this drug by other individuals less fortunate than myself, but I can only speak to what this drug has done for MY life. I am now 51 years old, and have taken this drug on and off for most of my adult life, starting when I was 18 years old. I become angry when I read proposals to limit prescription of this drug to psychiatrists...."


"I've been back on Nuvigil since the end of 2013.  I had taken it in 2010, but had to stop due to cost.  The results have been wonderful.  No more falling asleep in meetings or while sitting and talking to people.  I can even watch entire movies now without dozing off!  The only downside, like others have mentioned, is that it wears off in the evening.  I usually take it around 7am, but by 9:00pm, I'm dozing again, which isn't really that bad.  The cost is annoying too.  I have great insurance, but it is still $75 a month."


"I had first infusion with no problems during administration but 2 weeks after I had to go to the E.R. with a heart arrhythmia and had to have my heart shocked back into normal rhythm. Two days later had second infusion with no problems during administration. 2 weeks later same thing...back to the E.R....heart shocked back into rhythm . Heart rate was stuck at 150 bpm. Had to be put in hospital for 4 days to be given an anti - arrhythmic drug that can also cause a fatal arrhythmia. So I would be cautious if you have any type of heart problem prior to taking Rituxan. I will not ever take it again."


"Best ADHD medication I have taken. All the pros of Adderall without the crash or mood swings. However sometimes if I haven't taken it for a few days, when I take it again I get horrible migraines at night."


"My 2nd night with Xyrem was last night. I was not expecting an overnight miracle, but I was thinking it would have been different. No side effects. Tired, but hopeful for these next couple weeks."


"I was on Lo Estrin for a year. At first it was great. Then my period stopped completely, except for spotting all month long. It constantly made me feel pregnant. My breasts would hurt, I'd feel nauseous often, and the fact that I wasn't getting a period gave me great anxiety. Furthermore, I was experiencing anxiety regularly, and developed a sort of hypochondria- where I thought I was sick constantly. I think it was because my hormones were so out of whack. I am now on a higher hormone pill and don't have anxiety issues anymore. I really think this pill was my issue."


"Hi, I've been taking orlistat for two weeks, and not seen a loss. I've cut out crisps, chocolate and take aways . I'm trying to stick too 15gr of fat each meal, but still nothing. I have lost a little oil' but nothing to shout about. Can anyone give me advise as I'm getting depressed."


"I have been on Wellbutrin for about four months. I can definitely say that it works very well. My symptoms before taking it were: mood swings, constant fatigue, irritable, very low to nonexistent sex drive & not able to finish anything I started. My first two weeks on Wellbutrin I had a rough go with side effects. Side effects were: couldn't sleep. Heavy/tight chest which resulted in a panic attack. Itchy palms & feet. I wanted so bad to stop taking it but Very glad I didn't. I feel great now and have lost 15lbs. The Sex drive has come back full force. Advice: take benadryl those first few weeks to help you sleep. Best choice I have made was asking my doctor for help."


"just started taking phentermine 6/18/16. the first day i thought i was gonnapassout from side affects. but after 3 days i feel good. lots of energy, and decreased appetite. i have experienced the dry mouth. and  i never really drank water before so this is good for me anyways. i am 5'0 and weigh 164 lbs. since im so short its considered obese. but im taking in 1200 cal a day or less and working out crazy. havent checked my weight yet but hopefully ill see some results soon."

"This medicine helped me when others didn't, and I had no side effects."


"These reviews are total shams. The successful quit rates for people using Chantix, the patch and nicorette gum combined is lower than quitting cold turkey. Notice how every review follows the same formula?
1) State that you smoked heavily for decades
2) Claim that Chantix made you forget that you ever enjoyed smoking... it was EASY!
3) Neglect to mention all the side effects- including an alarmingly high rate of suicidal thoughts

The only proven method is cold turkey. Wanna drag out your physical cravings for months? Go on the patch, get less nicotine than your body wants, be in mild withdrawal constantly, and have ZERO to show for all that discomfort 2 months later. Cold turkey? 72 hours and the rest is all psychological."


"I use venlafaxine for major depression and to help with migraines. When on it my headaches have decreased."


"Through routine blood check up I was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome with no symptoms at all but with blasting of cells 18 and after 8 months from having injected Vidaza, blasting of cells now 0.
As I am in remission do I still have to go with the Stem Cell Transplant"


"Absolutely hands downs the best!  I read some of the neg posts on here and you must be taking it wrong.  no nasty taste and mine actually dissolves in like 10 minutes once I started leaving it alone after I put it in.  Doc made me watch a YouTube video that helped.  Plus it's free for me!!!!!"


"Have been taking the 30mg pills for 7 weeks now I've lost 30 pounds and after the 5th week or so I stopped sweating as much but now I'm having issues with going to the toilet been about 4 days. Other than that the pills work amazing"


"This  is a follow up after my diagnosis of stage 4 NSCLC last March. My X-ray after one month of taking Tarceva was good. I went back and have a CT scan in June and my tumor shrunk. I was responding well to Tarceva pill."


"Just been diagnosed with Bi Polar Disorder after goodness knows how many years of episodes. Took my shrink the best part of 2 years to finally diagnose me after many different anti depressants, sleepless nights, racing thoughts, and wild partying till the early hours (sometimes on my own!!!). Just started on Depakote 3 weeks ago initally on 500mg per day which didn't help my mania, now on 500mg morning, and 500mg evening which calms me down, helps me sleep, deals with my irritability and mania, and generally slows me down. I have found that I get eye jolts ... fuzziness, but for the first time in 3 years (when it all started back up!), I am beginning to feel "NORMAL". We'll see how it goes.  My consultant has mentioned Lithium also."


"Ineffective med that resulted in extreme weight loss and made cognition practically impossible so I did not pass my oral exam before nor was I even able to understand the questions my graduate committee members were asking.  I got off of it at that point then went from a 28" waist back to a 32"."


"This has worked great for me! 9/10! I only say 9 because of something that has recently come up. I'm on my 4th pack of these pills and all of a sudden, since Thursday of week 2 (it's now Saturday), I've been spotting on and off, which I thought would happen the first three months, but it's month 4 and just starting now. But otherwise, my actual periods are almost nonexistent, very light only lasting about 2 days, so this really works great for me!"


"I was put on Lexapro 3 years ago to treat depression & Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The first 2 months were standard. Adjusting and getting the dose right. I ended up on 20mg. After the initial adjustment, I experienced panic attacks, which came frequently, worsening anxiety - over 3 years, gained 12kg. It in no way helped PMDD. I weened myself from 20mg down to 5mg over 6 months which was HELL then stayed on 5mg for another 12 months. I have since had my ovaries removed and a total hysterectomy to get rid of PMDD. Now 4 weeks ago,  I stopped the 5mg, cold turkey, as the tapering was so bad. Lexapro took so much of my life, and coming off is the hardest thing I've ever done and I'm still withdrawing after 4 weeks. it's been a nightmare!"


"First I started off with Aviane and switched to Falmina which, from what I was told, is the generic brand. Honestly, I had the most trouble with Aviane. I would get nausea, very emotional, low sex drive and thick discharge. Never had any problems with spotting or irregular periods. Then when I started the Flamina, all basically was taken down a huge notch and the thick discharge went away. I like that I know the exact day I will start my period, it only lasts for about 4-5 days also very light, and usually I am not emotionally bothered. Occasionally I can be irrational and a bit of a cry baby, although, it wasn't as intense as when I was on Aviane. The only problem that I've had is my muscles can get very tender after work or exercise"


"I took Topamax for a month. It helped with my headaches very little and the side effects were terrible. My feet and hands would go numb several times a day. My short term memory was completely gone. I had a hard time finding the words to speak especially in the evenings. And the very worse was the depression and anger."


"Week1 dizziness, nausea, no appetite, foggy feeling, stomach growling. Week 2  same as before plus sweating, bad GERD,and insomnia. Almost stopped but decided to stick it out. Week 3 everything slowly disappeared. Now on week 4, much calmer, lost weight about 8 lbs, blood pressure dropped to normal readings, I have more energy now I am walking everyday, still feel like myself, not numb like some reported . Reason started was I had 2 deaths in a month and was losing it. In the past I have tried Prozac, lexapro,  effexor, Zoloft and many others nothing has worked as well as celexa. My advice give it time, be patient . Like many things it's worth waiting for. Good Luck to all!!"


"I'm 32 and have 1 kiddo who is 7. I'm been on the birth control struggle bus for years trying to find something that didn't make me unpredictably moody. I've tried almost all birth control pills under the sun and nothing seemed to work. My doctor took me off of birth control completely  for 3 months and I felt great. He told me about Liletta and that the hormones would stay centralized (meaning it would not affect my mood). So I opted to get it inserted. Insertion was god awfully painful! But a day later I knew it was worth it. 3 days after I broke out into hives! I was allergic and had to get it removed today. Quick and painless for removal. I wish it had worked for me."


"I have suffered from recurrent depression for many years and I can truly say that this is the best medication I have taken so far. I started taking it early in the morning and it worked the same day. It was a 360 degree change on me. It put my serotonin and norepinephrine levels back where they belong. Never had any side effects. I feel like myself again. "


"I had pain in my head with shingles. After taking one pill the pain went away, the next day I went to work for a few hours."


"I was diagnosed with severe depression.  I am 61 years old, and I had no previous problems.  I started on Paxil 14 months ago.  It took 3 months to take full effect.  My doctor started me on 20 mg and then 30 mg to kick start it, and it worked.  I tried to wean off, but I went too fast.  I just went back to 30 mg a day (20/9pm 10/7am) a week ago.  It hasn't taken full effect yet.  I would recommend Paxil, but realize that this medication is very slow to work and dosage changes take time.  Everyone is different.  It has helped me, but it has been a long road."


"Wellbutrin was prescribed to augment Zoloft.  It made an improvement for me."


"Just recently diagnosed with ADHD and specifically asked to start out on vyvance at 30mg/day. I'm 23 years old and had been struggling with severe ADHD my whole life, finally decided to go get it checked and vyvance being my first medication taken for it- it's completely calmed me down as a person. I feel like I have such clear thoughts which made me feel incredible, I finally felt normal. Helped with my hot temper and impatience as well. First week has been successful."


"I had this IUD placed over 2 months ago and everything was going well until about a month ago. I have now been on my period for 6 weeks straight with no sign of stopping, and I know irregular bleeding for the first 6 months is a side effect but trust me, it grows old. My suggestion is that if a birth control pill works for you and you are able to take it consistently for the most part, stick to that. having to spend $60 on a morning after pill after a questionable night is genuinely a better option."


"it was good"


"Consider something you like. Say, a favorite breakfast food or a place to go with friends. Now think about something you care nothing about, say, the painted lines on a road or the bottom of your kitchen table. Imagine that everything you like, instead of being something nice you enjoy, becomes as unimportant to you as the bottom of your table. Work. Favorite nephew. Friday night. Now you feel nothing either good or bad. That's depo provera. Yeah you won't get pregnant but that's because you won't care about sex or your mate or anything. Most awful 12 weeks ever. Good news though, you won't care about your three month period either. Or the enormous blood clots. Or the long term damage like bone density loss and anemia."


"I have suffered with severe health anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder related to this anxiety for about 6 years. I would spend countless hours a day googling symptoms and doing certain health related rituals, and it was taking over my life. I finally talked to my doctor at the urging of my family and ended up on 50 mg of Zoloft.  I didn't want to take it because part of my health anxiety is a fear of any type of medication. After about 3 weeks of it sitting untouched in my cabinet I started to take it. I didn't feel strange - no side effects. Maybe a little more sleepy at night? After about 3 weeks on Zoloft I noticed that I didn't have the urge to Google health symptoms anymore and I would *forget* to do some of my daily rituals."


"I have tried alot of birth control already and I am only eighteen. I have been hospitized for extreme ovarian cysts. I first tried Ortho Cept and from missing one pill I bleed for two months straight. After that they put me on a low dose 3 month pack that gave me horrible break outs and break through bleeding. After those pills I tried evro patch and I was rushed to the hospital for extreme bleeding and my arm became paralyzed for a day. After this I was put onto Seasonale and it took two packs to start working. I then had to add depo shot with it.
For people with extreme cases this will not be enough for you.
For normal people this will make you gain a little weight but no breakouts and no break through bleeding or weird side effects."


"I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis in February 2000. Since that time, I've been taking the prescribed dosage of 400 mg daily. This has helped my interstitial cystitis symptoms tremendously. I had suffered for a long time before being diagnosed properly, so when this medication was presented to me and I took it for a couple of months, my pain was gone. I was so excited to finally get relief. Unfortunately, I had a recent blood test to check my liver enzymes. The AST was 61 and the ALT was 100, both of which are normal between 3 and 35. My physician wants me to decrease my dosage of Elmiron and check me again in 6 weeks. I'm very concerned about the high levels of enzymes in my blood. Be careful and keep a check on your liver."


"After heart surgery, I had problems finding a medicine to lower my blood pressure.  The one I was taking before surgery did not work.  After trying several different medicines, my cardiologist put me on Tekturna.  It did not do the job until he tried me on Tekturna Hct which has a low dosage of diuretic.  This works great for me.  I have been on it for three years and I have no side effects.  I will stay on it."


"After a couple of days on 2mg Abilify added to my Zoloft and Lamictal, the fog began to clear up a bit. (It reminds me of that Claritin commercial when everything all of a sudden on the TV screen becomes more clear and less fuzzy). That was a warm welcome after 25 years of, on and off "anti-depressant poop-out"! However, I am most certain that it has caused weight gain! I do not EVER weigh myself (past eating disorder issue), but my clothes are tighter around the waist. BUT I AM NOT EATING ANY DIFFERENTLY! In fact, I have made a concerted effort to eat less but nothing seems to give! Is it fluid? I'm baffled! Yes, I'm 43 now, but my metabolism wouldn't come to a screeching halt so quickly, would it?  "


"I have always had facial hair but after my menopause started prematurely the hair growth became very much like a man's. I would pluck at least 2 times a week and each session would last 2 hrs.  I started using Vaniqa 2 weeks ago. I plucked whole face the same day and 2 weeks later I have only just had a few small areas that have needed plucking today which is the first time and even those hairs are fairly soft and finer.  I love Vaniqa and feel like its changed my life!"


"I broke out on this pill for 4 months straight. My acne was way worse that how it was before I started the birth control pill. I got the acne so horribly the first week of starting the birth control. And then, I would get at least two pimples a day; on my cheeks and jaw. The pimples were really big and they would hurt so badly. Once the pimples went down, it left my face with horrible acne scars that I've been trying to clear up for the past month. The pimples would only clear up around my placebo pill week. So when I was on my monthly cycle, my face was beautiful and clear. It's been a month with out the Tri-Sprintec and my skin has cleared up tremendously. I am back confident!!!"


"Been on Celexa now for a month at 10mg daily.  So far so good. I feel a lot better and a lot more relaxed and calm. No panic attacks or anything like that. It's been great. Going to doctor in a couple weeks for follow up appointment. Going to see if I can start on 20mg. I feel that will even work better."


"My first Mirena was the amazing. I had little to no side effect - and no period the entire time.  I decided at 4.8 years to rush to my OB and have a new one.  I was not so lucky this time.  I have had a harder time managing my depression, I have periods, I have smelly discharge constantly and my hair is falling out.  My sex drive is fine maybe even higher but I can't handle the smell - its not a bad smell I've just never had a smell so this thing has to go."


"I kinda like this medication, im 15, female, have mild acne, i dont have a lot but its in many areas. Chest, Back, face. its summer and its not that bad but its noticable, i have been taking this for almost a month and no results at all, i just gained acne on my shoulders. i am a dancer so i dont know if that effects it. oh well it has some what helped my face but idk :("


"I was put on this med while in the hospital. I started having breathing issues ( thought I had bronchitis) and rapid weight gain. I went to refill the med after the first month and the pharmacist noticed that the Invega had bad interactions with one of my other meds and refused to fill it. I'm stepping down and the breathing issues are lessening but i'm still having problems with the weight. The days I take it, I am insatisably hungry. It made me feel better mentally but the rest was rubbish."


"I've been on Belsomra for 8 days and I am really starting to like it. I have had anxiety and sleep issues for the last six months and finally reached out to my GP to ask for help. She prescribed trazadone at first which just made my mouth really dry. Then I tried sonata which knocked me out good but I would wake up a two hours later and be wide awake for the rest of the night. Then I tried belsomra 15mg. First night I thought it worked ok didn't notice anything significantly better than no meds but the second night I slept great and had an incredibly vivid dream. Every night since I've slept well and had REALLY clear dreams. I'm actually going to try dropping down to 10mg bc there a little too vivid and I've been a little groggy."


"First time I took Viagra it took 30 to 40 mins to work.
Work very well for me with no side effects. Was able to have sex more then once. My partner is also very pleased with the results. Thank you Viagra."


"Went to Dr with flu. Started Tamiflu. In two days, started noticing a rash, swelling in hands, arms, legs and feet. Could not sleep, though extremely tired. Weakness and dizziness was terrible."


Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone

"Given that I have been on this medicine for 7 years now, I'm gonna say that it works. I assume I will be taking this for the rest of my life and I'm not sure how safe that will be."


"Ive had a chesty cough for 7 weeks, following a total hysterectomy my Hilar lymph node is enlarged in my right lung and Im exhausted from coughing. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and am waiting to start chemotherapy, which is being delayed due to my infection. I have had amoxicillin 500mg and Doxycycline 500mg, neither did anything. I'm now on 2 x 500mg Clarithromycin, I have had 5 tablets so far and have 9 to take. Within a few hours of taking this medicine, the heat in my throat and ears was tremendous, it felt like the drugs were fighting the infection. The vile metallic taste started by 3rd tablet, its worse than the taste I had during my chemotherapy for breast cancer. It won't seem to go, immense thirst and headaches too!!"


"I have Cervical Arterial Disease and the pain radiates in my neck, shoulder, arms and hands.  Sometimes makes me have bad headaches as well, on the left side of my head.  Mobic is a life-saver for me. I had this medication for awhile, but refused to take it because reading the side effects scared me, but after over-the-counter medicatuons quit helping me with the pain, I went ahead and started it, and this is the best I've felt in months.  I haven't had any side effects yet, but I've only been on it, for about a week.  I'll continue to take it for now, because at least I'm not miserable.  Living with chronic pain is no joke."


"I've been on this medication more times than I can remember and it always works wonderfully. The only side effect is some sleepiness but make sure to drink enough water and have a little caffeine."


"I was on low dose Cymbalta for 2 weeks and could not handle the fatigue. I switched to Pristiq 50 mg a little over a week ago. My anxiety is 95% gone, my depression..the negative thoughts are gone, I'm not happy but I'm not sad either, my irritability and being easily startled has resolved. I'm able to go out without being anxious, am  returning to work part time in a few weeks. I do feel a little tired a few hours after taking the medication but it doesn't last, my sleep is a little disrupted, little nausea but nothing I can't manage, constipation is a side effect but I use Colace (without the laxative), lost 4 lbs so far. Plan to stay on this indefinitely at this point. Just relieved to finally have some relief from the anxiety/depression."


"I have CRPS in my left foot. I have a spinal cord stimulator (paddle leads). I have been on pain meds since 7/2013 after an accident. Meds tried through prescription from pain mgmt. Norco, Percocet, Oxycontin, Morphine ER, Butrans and more. Nucynta was prescribed April, 2015. I took it for 1 week. I am a very positive person who is always seeing the good in any situation. Nucynta made me depressed, moody, not wanting to get out of bed, quiet and overall someone I do not want to be. It did aid in my pain control, but I cannot be that person is made me. After being off of it for 2 days, I am back to being my positive self.

Would I recommend it? I don't think so."


"I was on the Vivelle-dot for about 8 years. It took away all the unpleasantness of menopause: the insomnia, the crying, the hot flashes, the dizziness, the panic attacks. And I had absolutely no side effects. Life was great. Then, I stupidly tried to use something different in order to save money (the estradiol pill) and all the menopause horrors came back, along with new ones (nausea, acid reflux, non-stop migraines. I went back on the Vivelle-dot and felt so much better. Financially, it is a bit expensive, but I switched to the generic by Sandoz and it effects me the same as vivelle-dot. Pure bliss."


"I have taken lexapro 10mg for 5 years now.  I recently tried to come off of lexapro due to sexual side effects and had really bad withdrawl symptoms.  I am back on lexapro 5mg and will not try to change for a LONG time.  This medicine keeps me level and keeps me from crying all the time for no reason."


"I got on this birth control when it first came in 2006 when I was 16, I was on it up until I was 22. Switching was the biggest mistake ever. I LOVED this birth control. I never had any problems with it. Lighter and shorter periods, cleared up my skin and no bloating or weight gain. The only downfall was I did get very emotional but that was it and maybe occasional breakthrough bleeding. Best of all it worked for me. I am switching back to this birth control and can't wait."


"The medication almost killed me. It caused me stage 3 kidney desease and other problems."


"This product has been wonderful.  My energy has been restored, I have normal sexual function and desire and really have had no adverse side affects at all.  My underarms that were never very hairy are now very hairy and my formerly smooth abdomen and stomach are now hairy, but other than that I've not had any side effects.  All positive effects!"


"I've been on this for 4-5 years and it is my rock. It literally helps me so much, I couldn't have made it through high school without it. Honestly it's what helped me through my suicidal phases. I still get them but it's not as intense and I don't try and act on it anymore."


"I began taking Accutane at the end of seventh grade. I finished in November of eighth grade. My face is completely clear. Accutane works miracles!"


"Suffered from migraines my whole life but the last 6-8 months they have been everyday, all day. I have tried so many medicines with no relief and recently my Doctor put me on Neurontin.  This medicine works. I am on a low dose of 600 mg at night before bed and my days have been so much better.  I still get some headaches, but not nearly the bad migraines I was getting.  The doctor is going to increase my dose slowly until she gets me on the dose that works the best for me.  But as for now, I am slowly getting my life back."


"I used this medicine for 3 months, after 6 years of using Gleevec/Glivec. Though it was effective at 3 months, it improved RBC and WBC, reduced pain side effects at rest in comparison with Glivec, I was further restricted in activity than with Glivec. I developed short breathing, extra heart beat which turned into ischemic problem at mid LAD."


"Following surgical  removal of 2 herniated discs in 11/2014, pain was less severe.   Some relief   like a 7  on scale instead of 9.5 ! However, the pain has returned.  Fentenly patches do not seem to work .  Nor does Tramadol.  I have been on & off of  Prednisone for years.  So I took a dose of 60 mg this morning.  The pain has definitely subsided.  I intend to take another high dose, probably 50 mg, at bedtime.  I honestly believe that the Prednisone relieved  my chronic lower back pain in a case where Fentenyl & Tramadol  were not as effective."


"I started using zoloft for 2 weeks and I can say now that I know how to handle my moods especially in dealing with other people. It really works for me!"


"Clonazepam has relieved anxiety for me in extreme situations, after invasive cancer surgery this medication along with oxycodone made my recovery a lot more humane."


"I got on the shot when I was 17. I'm 18 now. I've gotten it roughly 3 or 4 times. I had always had AWFUL periods and at the time it had been four years since I had gotten my first period. Initially I was scared to get the shot due to the things I had heard. I heard that it could cause weight gain, mood swings, excessive eating, and it could even result in making your period worse. Once I got the shot, I had my period maybe three times after that and it lasted for about three days each time. I haven't had a period for six months which is amazing when it used to be something I struggled with often. I weighed 117 pounds when I got my first shot. I weight 114 now. At first I was a bit on edge with my attitude but it was nothing serious."


"I have been taking these meds for spasms for years,
Surgery on neck last year so I do take other medicines. Now my insurance will not pay for this prescription this year. Trying to find help from the  maker so that I can continue to take them. I don't understand if the doctor is legitimate ( The doc was referred to me by my medical insurance) and you take them as prescribed as well as my other meds. Why are they making it so hard for people that truly need these meds to have some sort of a normal life.
I am fed up with pharmacist that think they are doctors and make up their own rules. I had a loaner pharmacist refuse to fill my scripts simply because she did not know my doctor. Same pharmacy for two years."


"I'm used to opioids and this medicine helped a lot in place of oxycodone without side effects."


"I've been on Accutane for 10 months on the higher dosage at 80mg. I've now had to wait two months to get an appointment with my dermotolagist and during these two months my acne is slowly, but surely coming back."


"I have been taking this for less than a week, started 5/30/15. So far I have lost 9 pounds! I have experienced few of the side effects. Slight nausea in the evenings, mild headaches and constipation. I have high blood pressure; however it is controlled. This hasn't seemed to effect it at all. I'm only on one pill a day right now and experience some hunger in the mornings. Other than that, I'm not hungry all day but when I do eat I'm trying to lean toward fruits/veggies and lean meats. I have been on the elliptical daily."


"I quiet smoking in March of 2007, in 8 more days I will be 70 years old. I had smoked for 49 years. I had tried everything under the sun to stop and nothing worked tell my Doctor told me about Chantix, it save my life. I don't mean to scare anyone but I lost my late wife from smoking for over 30 odd years. it took me 2 month of the meds and keeping my hands busy and my mind. Good luck to you"


"I had a severe concussion and although it did take away some of the pain, it only made the head aches manageable."


"Was diagnosed in 2009.  I was on Rebif for 2 1/2 years and had 2 relapses.  My doctor and I decided to switch to Tysabri which I have been taking for more than 4 years.  No relapses.  MS is stable.  I continue to test negative for JCV.  This medication is easy and successful for me."


"If I could give this a zero I would. I should have looked up the reviews before ever taking it. 15 minutes after popping it in my mouth I'm anxious, paranoid, and sobbing over the smallest things. It has nearly destroyed my relationship and I feel absolutely insane. Unless you enjoy sobbing, lethargy, panic attacks, paranoia, and suicidal thoughts and tendencies, AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE"


"I've only been taking Ranexa for about a week, but I have not had any angina since I started taking it.  I have lived with angina on a daily basis for about two years."


"I have had Mirena for about a year now and I love it. I got it because of heavy periods. Insertion was not bad, felt like a quick hard cramp for a minute then had a little cramping and spotting for the next day. I have had no acne. I have lost 14 pounds no mood swings. I went to a gastrointestinal doctor today with tummy troubles and he said I was the 3rd woman he had seen today same symptoms and same IUD."


"Tirosint has been great for me. I have hypothyroidism and was starting to have recurring symptoms. Tirosint got rid of these symptoms. My recurring symptoms while on Levoxyl (but only after over ten years on it)  were- puffy face, constipation, fatigue. When I took Tirosint the symptoms were gone. I am very happy with Tirosint. I have no side effects."


"I have been on Cymbalta for one year, since G.P. thought I probably have Fibromyalgia. Helped with exhaustion and depression but not so much on pain. Saw a Rheumatologist last week and she confirmed the diagnosis and started me on Savella also. Have only taken 12.5mg for 4 days but my pain is already greatly reduced. No side effects yet, maybe a little bit of a "manic" feeling like I had too much caffeine."


"I started getting spots when I was about 12 and it was pretty bad acne by around 15. I went on the pill and probably every type of antibiotic which each worked but only for a limited time. At 23 I realised the only thing left was accutane. NHS was slow so I went private (1 appointment - £120) and the dermatologist prescribed me 4 months of 40 mg/day (I only weigh around 100 pounds). Best thing I ever did. Only side effects I noticed were dry lips - I recommend aquaphor - and dry inside of my nose. 100% worth it and my skin is amazing and spot free now! I've just come off the medication so fingers crossed it lasts a long time. Very happy, I definitely recommend."


"Invega has helped me greatly, but the side effects were pretty harsh."


"I have had to take Sublimaze for pain when the Dilaudid just doesn't help. It works. 1 cc intramuscularly worked very well."


"I was given this medicine for fibrocystic breast disease. I am very pleased with the results. No more painful, swollen breasts. I have to drink orange juice for potassuim. I have taken this for over 20 years. Started out at 500mg every day then every other day and it over time got reduced down to taking 250mg every other day about 10 days before my period started. Great preventative for breast tissue damage that could lead to cancer. Thank you to the doctor for great preventative care."


"I was given Tramadol for multiple pain. I have some arthritis, a form of osteoporosis (cannot think of the name of the form I have), Fibromyalgia, lower back pain. Tramadol in no way has helped me. My opinion of this drug is about as negative as you can have. Some of the comments are postive and I am glad it works for them. In addition, I am also clinically depressed and take meds for that. However, Tramadol in no way helps me with my depression. As a matter of fact, until reading these comments I had no idea it was even used for depression. Overall I would never recommend this drug
to anyone and would rate it a zero in terms of helping with chronic pain of any kind."


"I started contrave on Feb 5, 2016. It took me a minute before I actually began to use the medication because I was nervous of the side effects.  During that time I weighed 240 pound wearing a size 18 pant size.  After speaking with my physician who's also a weigh specialist informed me that the side effects will be minor and will not last long.  Once I began the medication, taking one a day for the 1st week and 2 for 2nd; increasing the dosage until I was on 2 in the morning and 2 at night.  I did suffer mild headaches and dry mouth during the first 2 weeks it went away and I have been doing fine ever since. As of Dec 27, 2016, I can joyously say I am 201 pounds wearing a size12 pants."


"I've been using Aviane for about 3.5 years now. I did notice some major mood swings getting on or off the pill, but after about a month I think my hormones regulated back to normal. Other than that I haven't had any other side effects unless you consider an almost non-existent period a side effect. I still get paranoid when I miss a period but so far so good. This has worked for me."


"I started March 2015 @380lb,wasn't sure it would work but was willing and needed to give it a try.The first week got on that scale 373lb,I started to believe this could work;as time passed the weight was falling off,weeks went on more weight was melting away final weight loss was 355lb.Please remember you didn't put the weight on over night and it's not coming off over night. I stop taking the medication due to cost but I'm back. My starting weight now was 364lb,went to dr last week down to 351lb.Belviq works just give it time."


"I have had bad social anxiety from a very young age. It has affected my ability to obtain and maintain employment. I have tried Zoloft also, but it did not work near as well as Paxil does for me. Since taking Paxil, I have been working a new job for two months. I only give it a 9 because of the minor side effects, which I have been able to find a way around anyway. If your social anxiety is so bad that it affects your ability to support yourself, I would recommend Paxil. I am on 20mg. When I was taking 30mg the side effects were enough to make me switch to Zoloft for a while, but 20mg of Paxil is working great for me."


"I got Nexplanon in February 2014. With all contraceptions there is the risk of side effects. On the pill ai had sore breasts. With Nexplanon my breasts feel much better and I'm less hormonal. In the first few weeks after the implant I got a bit of a scabby scalp but that has cleared. After 2 weeks - light period lasting 10 days (bleeding 6 days, light tampons then brown discharge for 4 days). I then had 2 weeks of no bleeding then 7 days bleeding, more like 2 days bleeding and 5 days spotting or brown discharge. Then 3 weeks of no bleeding. Irregular bleeding is annoying but better than a baby! Minimum maintenance contraception suits me and my boyfriend. These reviews helped me so I thought I would post."


"Started taking Adipex and I was at my highest weight ever. I was at 218lb. I currently am down 42lbs and now sitting at a weight of 176lb. Adipex really does help curb your appetite. Only down fall I've found was that the dry mouth can be a tad irritating at times. I drink on a daily basis probably around 2-3 gallons of water before I started taking Adipex and now with this medication I am almost doubling my water intake just because no matter what for me my mouth is always dry. It is a side effect that I am willing to live with though with the type of results I am getting. I have also lost 20 inches off my entire body since the process has started. I do go to the gym 4 days a week and I do cardio and weights as well."


"Further course of the medication needed as infection did not clear up first time around. I experienced no side effects at all."


"Anxiety disorder and panic attacks run in my family.  I have loved this drug - I am a happy, calm, relaxed me.    I am so glad I have this tool to improve my life!"


"I began seeing my doctor for neck problems, I cannot take oral NSAID'S due to Crohns disease so my doctor suggested to try them as an alternative. I had every test run from an Ortho and Neurologist with no reasoning for my neck problems other than Fibro.  Sometime the back of my neck swells around two nerves on both sides that go into my arms and head, I've tried every narcotic there is but nothing but a Flector patch helps. Recently I had a very extensive knee surgery with an 8-12 month recovery time and once the incision healed I was given the okay to use these, they helped tremendously. I now have an injury while recovering and they are my life saver once again. They are very expensive but worth every penny."


"The medicine is partly covered by my issurance company. Current maintenance dosage 3 mg (was 6mg) Invega. After taking Invega my positive symptoms vanished completely after a number of weeks, furthermore I don't get an unreal sense (depersonalization) which was the case with Risperdal. Unfortenately I got the following side-effects (discussed with my physician):

- weight gain (8 kilo's)

- sometimes strange expression around mouth, stiffness

- tiredness/weakness, need more sleep

- intense dreaming, sometimes nightmares

- harder to breath through nose

- increase of ALAT blood values (80)

- dizziness after sudden activity

- heartburn

For now the positive effects outweight the negative effects."


"Second time on this eye drop. First time for a few days. I stopped taking because it made me feel physically sick. Second time I gave it a go for almost 3 weeks, i got so sick i went to the Dr with flu like symptoms, waking up with phlegm in my throat, joint pain, extreme sweating and the feeling like I'm about to faint. OMG.. it really scared me. so i stopped it and now I'm back to normal, still have eye problems but that is 100% better than the solutions, which is taking that eye drops. It is very dangerous."


"I have cronic pain due to neck and head pain. I have been taking elavil for 5 years 75mg a night. It doesn't help with the pain but I am able to sleep past the pain. If you have issues sleeping for what ever reason give it a try. I can sleep most of the night and I do not have a hang over the next morning."


"Did not work for me at all.  Out of the several Overactive bladder medicines I have tried, this one was the worst for me. In fact, it made my symptoms worse.  Urgency, accidents, pain and frequency all grew worse and within a matter of days I was back wearing disposable briefs because I had very little bladder control.  Once I stopped it and switched to Sanctura, things improved."


"I have a partial spinal cord injury and have lots of muscle spasms everywhere. For a few months after my SCI I had minimal spasms and was on 90 mg/day. I am 4 years out from my accident and my spasms are worse. Now I take 120 mg/day (30 mg 4x/day). I still have a lot of muscle tone (spasms)  and we are discussing putting a baclofen pump in that will pump baclofen directly onto the spinal cord. How do I know baclofen works? On occasion I have missed my 10 pm pills and by morning my muscles are so tight I can't move. I believe the maximum does is 90 mg/day but the doc put me up to 120/mg to give me more relief. I'll be on it for life. Great stuff, wouldn't be able to move without it. I have had no side effects even with the elevated dose."


"After smoking for 22 years, I started my sixth week today and I couldn't be happier that I started Chantix. I have not had any side effects whatsoever while taking this medicine.  I have been told that I seem happier and goofier (in a good way).  Starting Chantix has actually helped with not drinking alcohol during social events, happy hour, dinner, etc. The smoking and drinking definitely went hand-in-hand. With that said, Chantix has helped in more ways than one!  In the long run, I will have more money in my pocket, too!  I have more energy, no cravings for smoking, more active, I don't miss out on a lot of conversations due to stepping out to smoke, smell better and simply more time on my hands.  Good Luck to all!"


"I usually use Canesten, which is clotrimazole, but for some reason bought the miconozole nitrate this time. I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital to get them to get the cream out of me. It burned and itched so badly I've never felt anything so horrible in my life and I've given birth 3 times. I ended up running a bath and trying to wash it out of me. I thought I was going to throw up.
This is a horrible, horrible product. I read that using tampons will decrease the effectiveness of the medication because they absorb it, so I currently have a tampon in to try to help. I also took a benedryl for the swelling and irritation from the external cream."


"Hi! I had my birthcontrol in for the whole 3 years and I hated it. I never got my period, I gained 60  pounds, I had very bad headaches to the point where I couldn't watch tv  with the sound was on 3 and the tv light was really bothering, I ate non-stop it was like I was always hungry, I would cry for no reason, it made me feel confused for some reason, I was VERY aggressive I beat up my boyfriend, my mom, anybody who was messing with me and towards the end of my months I was very sensitive. I wanted it out once I noticed that my period wouhdn't come and that I was aggressive and cause I gained a lot of weight I'm like 200 pounds.  "


"I had shingles for two and a half weeks, then experienced severe nerve pain after the sores began to heal. My doctor originally prescribed Vicodin, then switched me to Lyrica in anticipation of my return to work. Lyrica was very effective at reducing the severity of the pain, but it caused me to be very drowsy. I slept for 14 hours a night, and had difficulty concentrating during the day. I would also have trouble remembering things I had done while taking Lyrica. I had to discontinue using it."


"I tried everything.  Nothing would work.  My doctor recommended Duavee and in 30 days the hot flashes were gone.  I averaged 2 hours of interrupted sleep a night.  Now sleeping 5-6.  Would highly recommend this medication"


"Omg....NEVER AGAIN will i use monistat 1!! I am 41 and first YI in my life and it was dt to being off thyroid meds for 3 wks (yes ik bad but whole diff story) so i had symptoms for about a wk so decided to buy M1 i insert cream around midnight and by 3:30 i was awake!! My vagina was on fire and my labia and clitoris were swollen to anout 4 x's normal size. It hurt so so bad i had to sit in a warm bath then lay in bed with my legs open as wide as i could make them with a fan on just to keep from crying!!! I would live with the YI over this any day!"


"I love this birth control. I had lots of problems in the past but this one works for me. I can successfully skip periods without spotting. Miss the pill by an hour or so without spotting. It did take about 3 months for it all to level out for me. No acne. Breasts got a little bigger. I don't get cramps very often at all and I haven't noticed a change in my sex drive. Everyone's body is different but I think it's worth trying for at least 3 months before you decide."


"This medication has been a life saver for me. My 22 month old granddaughter and her mother live with me and my husband. It is a job keeping up with her and without Orencia I can't even walk my pain is so severe. Thank You Orencia."


"Oh my goodness. I'm on fire! Don't buy this stuff."


"In Sept 2006 I was in a bus accident had been in such pain nothing was working, my blood pressure would sky rocket do to the pain, nothing was helping until I got the Dilaudid IV in the hospital, I also have to take zofran for nausea. I had overgone 5 back surgeries in 10 years. I never needed pain medication until the bus accident.

They tried tordol, morphine, percocet, but nothing helped. I was on a high dosage of Dilaudid for 3 years until my screws were removed in 11-2013. I have been going off dilaudid for 3 yrs now. I take 3.  4 mg tabs a day it takes almost 1 hour to work, but it only helps the pain for about 3-4 hours. This should only be used when nothing else will. I am so thankful."


"Demerol stimulates me and during my last 3 mild sedation procedures the more Demerol they gave me the more stimulated I became, causing me to be wide awake during the procedures."


"I coughed horribly for a year and a half.  Had all tests run, even had the Nissen fundoplication procedure done.  My cough did not go away.  In the hospital I was given this for pain.  I immediately stopped coughing.  Could finally sleep.  I found an ENT who thinks my cough is neurogenic.  Nerve damage caused by a virus.  This is the nerve that triggers cough.  He gave me gabapentin  and it helped a little in the beginning now, it does nothing.  I had 2 refills left on the Tussionex Pennkinetic and I'm now down to my last refill.  I take 1 teaspoon every day around 4:00.  I take it so early because this medicine keeps me up and won't let me sleep.  The opposite of what most of you are experiencing.  "


"I use Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia. I am in the land of living once again."


"I have been a smoker for about 20 years and committ was the only thing that worked for me. I tried many times to quit before and was unsuccessful until i tried these. My only problem now is that I have been smoke free for the 12 weeks and yet I am still hooked on the lozenges. I can definately feel the need to still have the lozenges and so I need to find a way to break free of this new habit."


"So far is the 3rd day of taking 10MG OF RITALIN IR. So far I feel I can finally get work done, less tapping of the feet and less fidgety, talk a lot more, can start conversations, etc. I can think before I act but sometimes I act out but not as much. But however my hands shake a little. And takes longer to 'kick in' it takes 40 mins to an hour   a half. But when it 'kicks in' it lasts up to 4-5 hours. It really does help with my moderate ADHD."


"After 6 years, I finally tried to talk to my doctor about side effects her reply was that there was nothing wrong with the medications, I complained to much. I started taking myself off of some of them myself. Fortunately, maybe, she had a family problem that she took leave to deal with. By this time, I had taken myself off of 70% of opiate pain killers. I told the doctor that I wanted to stop the Cymbalta. His response was no problem. I was taking two 30mg, his instruction was stop taking one for a week then stop the other. Five days later I was calling saying that was going to work. I was then prescribed two  20 mg and started doing what I found on the internet. A month later, things were better but I swing back and forth with issues come and go.

The doctor still says they haven't had issues with other patients. Maybe the doctors don't talk to their patients? They definitely don't read anything about the drugs that they prescribe."


"It cleared up my urinary tract infection symptoms within 24 hours, however my doctor prescribed it to me for 2 weeks. Today was the end of the first week and I've experienced a slight shortness of breath, and a bit of weight on my lungs, almost like one feels with bronchitis. I feel as though I must breathe deeply in order to fully expand my lungs and sometimes it causes me to have a dry cough. I think I'll stop taking it before things get worse."


"I had spinal fusion several years ago and since have suffered pain. Recently my feet started tingling painfully with loss of feeling. Lyrica has been a life saviour for. these problem."


"I have been smoke free for a little over 3 weeks now after a pack a day habit for 40 years.  I had tried everything but nothing seemed to work.  I started Champix and it's worked.   The first few days I smoked normaly and then I cut down to 2 cigarettes a day.  I just couldn't smoke more my sense of smell was hightened and they tasted really bad. During week 3,  I was so sick to my stomac one day people told me just never mind but, no way.  My pharmacist recommend I cut the pill maybe the dose was too strong for me.  Worked like a charm.  I still think about cig. maybe 6 times a day but the cravings are not strong.  I do something else and all of the sudden they are gone."


"I took this about 7-8 hours after I had unprotected sex. I was nowhere near my ovulation or fertile period, but I was still trying to be safe.
My period came exactly a week later. Don't stress! It works!
By the way, condoms are wayyyy cheaper than a $50 pill."


"Butrans works. I have a hard time finding medicines that work, but plainly put this works. It does come with a price however, the patches are sometimes hard to keep on, showering becomes a true chore, the NextCare patches (to cover and waterproof the Butrans patch) are expensive and only last a few days. I wore Butrans for almost a year and in some places it has scarred me -leaving an outline of the patch on my skin. Also, the patch can itch MADLY in some places. Finally you must choose your location **PERFECTLY** or the patch will 'bubble' up or develop waves where the medicine is not making contact with your skin. Again, this patch works."


"I just had my second case of vertigo and tried 25mg of Meclizine and like many others it worked very well but I could not stay awake. My doctor changed my med to the 12.5 mg and I like that much better. Still stay a little tired but at least I am not sleeping all day."


"Had Crohn's/Colitis for years, been on Asacol for the past 16 years, started with three pills three times daily for almost a year, then 3 tablets twice daily with breakfast and dinner. Still have few flares, but otherwise decent.  NO side effects."


"I've been taking phentermine 15 mg for 23 days now and have been working out and eating healthy but only lost 6 lbs"


"I just took Flomax today 2 1/2 hours ago and just passed my stone. I have had to have my stone surgically removed usually. This is fantastic. I will use next time I have an attack."
