"This topical steroid works better than any of the others I've tried in knocking down inflammation and slight relief from itch."


"I was switched to this birth control pill from the same thing in a lower dosage (1/20). Unlike my last pill, this one did not cause any breakthrough bleeding. However, I had a headache literally every evening on this pill. I was very concerned because these were bad headaches. They soon stoped after getting off from this pill. I like this pill on all other aspects but it's just not worth the horribly headaches."


"My shrink gave me this med almost 2 years ago and for me, it has helped a great deal with my insomnia. i take a 30mg at bedtime and 9 times at of 10, i am asleep within 90 minutes. I thank my shink everytime i see him"


"The best drug out there for weight loss, and it gives you a boost to get things done."


"Not bad! I'm taking other meds as well. I recommend everyone gives it a chance before judging to harshly on this site."


"I got Skyla inserted Nov 2016. I'm 28 with no children. I got the insertion because my periods were hell to deal with, bleed for 7 days, I would throw up, bleed everywhere, extra poopy, and deadly PMS.

The insertion was horrible! The insertion took no more than 5 minutes, but afterwards I cramped, bleed heavily, threw up, and had major gas. I had to lay down in another room because I was so weak and felt as if I was going to pass out. Finally got home, cramping and throwing up still.

(Fast Fwd) I bleed, cramped, bleed, bleed, until the end of March 2016. As of today, random spotting, random painful cramps (seriously), PMS, no weight gain,  and a little bit of acne (nothing major). Still better than my period. Good luck to your uterus."


"Great for Depression."


"I started a pill at first, in 2011. Istarted having terrible periods, so bad I would miss class, so in 2012 I started the depo shot. Periods and symptoms went away just like that! I did gain some weight, especially in my breasts, but at the same time I started eating a lot of fast food and going out to eat when I started working in fast food. My doctor switched me to this pill for a month that started my period so I switched right back to depo that next month! Rating 8/10 because I'm scared of getting news I won't be able to conceive because of other articles I've read about the shot."


"Zoloft has been hard for me. At first it was okay (besides the side effects, those were brutal) but now that I've been on it for almost 2 years, im starting to forget things and my mindset is never balanced. Some days are okay, but some days I'm panicky, shaky, can't remember much even if it happened less than a minute ago, and my depression starts back up. I really don't wanna move on to another medication because the withdraws of this medication is as brutal as the side effects but i feel like Zoloft isn't a long term drug for me."


"Lexapro really works for the anxiety and as a mood stabilizer although I still have rough times and feel I need something stronger or with less of the sleep disturbances."


"This drug worked like magic for me, going from not being able to dress myself, tie shoelaces or buttons to being totally mobile again within 2 doses! Also worked wonders on psoriasis, all with no outward side-effects for more than a year now! Thank you!"


"For over the past year and half I have experienced up and down painful levels of  a combination of left knee pain, extreme left tight hamstrings and IT band, sciatic pain ( piriformis syndrome). Xrays revealed nothing (although at 62 I highly suspect some type of osteoarthirits), 6 sessions of therapy to correct what was a suspect patellar tracking disorder aggravated the condition, chiropractor, massage, Voltaren gel rubbed in the knee. Nothing brought long term relief. Three weeks ago I decided to give Alleve a try. And so far it's worked. I take one before bed. My knee occasionally hurts, but the tight hamstrings and sciatic have cleared up."


"This is great for all muscle pain and is great for period pain! Works better than any other pain killer I have tried as its a muscle relaxant and pain killer. Not great to take all the time though only when you really needing it."


"First off, don't forget that a lot of people are probably doing excellent with little-to-no problems with this antibiotic. Sort of like you never really hear from happy customers, usually the unsatisfied ones. Also that everyone's body reacts differently.   ...that being said, Holy Cow the nausea! Ugh... Stomach cramps and pretty much constant nausea all day today (day 2). Eventually had to leave work early. Pepto did not help. Going to try taking Nauzene with me to work tomorrow, see if it helps. (OTC nausea medication - a life saver in the past)  Taking it with Cipro. Been on this combo before for my diverticulitis without so many stomach problems. Still a better option than the huge waves of pain from a flare-up."


"I have used arnuity 200 for 6 weeks and I see a difference but my copay in Dec 2015 was $91 now in Jan 2016 it has gone to $119 per month.  I'd really would like to keep taking this but I can't afford that much every month so I will be back with my dr to find a alternative"


"I was less than pleased to find out that I could use only the Depo shot for birth control. I was on it before (about 6 -7 yrs ago) and I gained weight, my hair fell out, etc etc. So this time around right after the first shot I bled (spotted) literally for 3 months straight. Every day. Also, I was very very moody (irritable) and my sex drive tanked. Really bad.  I decided to take the second shot at the last minute and I can't be happier that I hung in there. I have not bled once since, my moods have stabilized and my sex drive is back! Also, I was worried that I would gain weight but believe it or not, I have lost a few lbs."


"Alongwith physical therapy, flexiril worked pretty well."


"I am a new user to Klonopin and wanted to share my experience because I know that people come to the net to figure out what's going to happen.  I have generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive stress disorder and things were getting a little more out of hand than normal. I was on Citalopram, and finally got switched to Viibryd which I'm looking forward to seeing the benefits. Klonopin taken at night lowers the brain activity and allows me to sleep.  Finished my third night on it and slept through 2 nights, not woken up once.  Hasn't happened in 6 months.  Its not a sleeping pill...its a calm the brain pill.  Very happy I'm getting back to normal."


"This medication actually worsened my symptoms and the MD kept raising the dose until I had symptoms during the day. Then she finally listened to me and took me off this medication."


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

"I haven't been on it for a long time and I have suffered from severe nausea and have thrown up twice. My appetite has lessened even more so than it was before. My acne has gone down and my boobs have grown a lot. Although I have thrown up, if it's for acne I would suggest it."


"Implanon is the easiest form of birth control out there, in my opinion.  You don't have to remember to take a pill everyday or even do anything on a monthly basis. I got Implanon inserted in July, while I was on my period and it became effective after I was done with my period. I had it for only 2 days before I got married and it is working because I am not pregnant. I have not noticed any side effects other than my periods only come every other month and last for 2-3 weeks at a time, but the flow and cramps are really minimal from what they used to be.  No weight gain, mood swings or anything else. I recommend Implanon to everyone looking for a birth control. I will never use anything else."


"I have had problems with constipation since I had an intestinal surgery a few years back. Recently I had kidney stones and the pain killers led to an obstruction . Product seems to work pretty well.

But I feel I should point out for people saying they now use this product every day. After reading the fine print and double checking with my doctor. You should never use any laxatives daily unless your instructed to. Your body can become dependent on the laxative and may not be able to have a normal movement on its own. Even the PG3350 says take 7 days or less.
:) Hope everything works out for you all!"


"I am not extremely obese, but at 5'7" and my higest weight at 175lbs since having children, I just feel large. I also have Hypothroidism (on Synthroid). I tried Medifast (bad) and NutriSystem (3 months, lost 15 pds) but they discontinued my favorite foods and I got tired of the same 10 dishes. I gained it all back. I did the gym (weights and cardio, 1 hr a day X 4 days a week, for about 5 months). Exercise just makes me hungry, so I over eat and only lost like 2 inches and 10 pds. Went to a doctor and (after tests) got prescription for Phentermine. Only moderately curbs appetite for me and gives me dry mouth (but that helps me drink lots of water). Exactly 2 weeks so far and went from 170lbs to 165lbs. Not bad, we'll see if it lasts."


"I have been taking Cryselle for just over two years, and have been fighting depression, weight gain, terrible heafaches, and anxiety attacks for the entire duration. I live a very stressful life, but I was always optimistic and could fight through it. Until I started taking this pill. After about 3 months, I tried to commit suicide, my depression has become debilitating, and I have anxiety attacks at the most random moments, without any triggers. I've been off the pill for about a week, and my mood is already improving. This pill changed who I am completely. I lost my friends and became distant, all because of the depression. I'm not sure how to be me again, or who me even is anymore. Be careful, and watch out for any side effects."


"I have been on Taclonex and urea cream for my psoriasis for over a year now. I have also been receiving light therapy and laser light therapy as well, and it has still not cleared up. Just wondering if anyone else out there has experienced the same thing as myself and have they tried anything else. Sick of Psoriasis...."


"My doctor prescribed for menopausal insomnia, it has helped me tremendously, I am finally sleeping thru the night.  Give it a chance, everyone reacts different to medications.  For me its great."


"I am rating this as 'not effective' advertising. There is nothing that makes me want to avoid a product more than having their ad pop up over an article I'm trying to read, waiting for it to load, then having to close out of it without accidentally clicking on the add. I've seen this ad four times now. If I am ever on the market for a sleeping aid, I would dose myself with something else before buying this."


"I made it to the other side.  I have been smoke free for two years. I tried again and again to quit, probably took about 10 times before it stuck. I did use the patch each time I quit, but I would always go to the bar, take the patch off and start my pack a day habit again.  Smoke for a week, then buy more patches.  You have to really want to quit to do it.  I think the patch is great at keeping your nicotine cravings at bay while you learn to deal with the mental addiction of quitting.  Do whatever it takes, and don't listen to those harpees who say that using a NRT is not really quitting."


"I am 79.  About 2 years ago, I had a hard time going to sleep, because of burning, bee-stinging type pain in my feet (peripheral neuropathy in feet), plus calf cramps.  Within about 3 weeks from start of Metanx, no more pain, nor cramps.  Works great.  I only take 1 cap/day.  No side effects that I know of."


"My mother has had major depressive disorder for over 45 years.  She was taking Orap and fluoxetine for most of that time, but the Orap was causing Parkinson's-like symptoms.  Discontinuing Orap can produce other symptoms, of which my mother had chomping of her jaw, and excess salivation.  Abilify controlled these other symptoms, but did nothing for her depression, resulting in auditory hallucinations.  My mother was switched to olanzapine which is controlling the depression symptoms. She is currently taking 2.5mg upon waking, 2.5mg in mid-afternoon, and 7.5mg at bedtime.  Olanzapine causes sleepiness, so normally would be taken only at night, but the daytime dosages were in hopes of controlling the post-Orap symptoms."


"I have bladder infections from group B Strep bacteria, much harder to get rid of than E. coli because it keeps coming back. Augmentin worked the first time, but didn't clear it up this time. Nitrofurantoin is still not taking out the complete sting. Makes me instantly drowsy- almost like a sleep aid. Had some mild stomach issues but could be attributed to period."


"I had a long term chronic cough a few years back & was buying everything on the shelf, nothing worked.  My hubby asked the Pharmacist what he would recommend & he said Delsym the orange stuff, thought it was expensive but bought it.  I immediately stopped coughing.  Well here I am coughing again for a long time & finally broke down & bought some, no more cough with one dose & may take a dose today.  Thanks for this great product."


"I just wanted to share my experience to balance out some of the horror stories out there.

A month ago, I had the copper IUD inserted. I've never been pregnant. I'm also in Canada, so I was able to get a prescription for the Flexi-T which is a smaller version made specifically for nulliparous women.

Insertion hurt but not as bad as I had prepared myself for. Didn't get any spotting in between insertion (during period) and my first real period. My first period came like clockwork (4 weeks to the day after my last one) and is heavier than usual, but not any more painful.

Far better than dying of a blood clot from hormonal BC."


"Hi, everyone I wanted to wait until I finish the entire bottle, before I came and did a review. So I went to my doctor who is awesome and she put me on Tenuate. My starting weight was 210 lbs, I started my first pill on May 24, 2013. I will be honest in my review. I started the week off strong eating right, exercising twice a day, making sure I stay within my 1200 calories daily. The exercises I did was walking and fitness blender. I made sure I drank plenty of water and the first week I lost 6.2 lbs. I was so excited and that push me to keep going that second week I lost 3 lbs and third week I lost 3lbs and so forth. As of now I'm 195.8lbs. I love this pill."


"Before I was prescribed  clonazepam (2mg daily) Paxil (10mg daily) was prescribed (but there are many more I could list as time passed) for major depression. I was having scary nightmares, very disturbing to me. I think for myself this medicine is super, no side effects.  I am currently off any antidepressant and have taken 2mg nightly. If I feel anxiety and can not stop the feeling, I will take 1mg. I plan to cut my dose to 1mg nightly. I feel, finally after 20 years of medicines I can handle my problems without medication per my doctors ok. Let's hope. I pray I can do this. "


"Basic onset of flu...coughing,  chills, fever and body aches.  Doctor gave me tamiflu to help expedite flu because a family member was scheduled go surgery and didn't want him to get sick.  Well, three days in, I feel better but can't smell or taste. Freaking me out. ..Hope it's temporary.  May discontinue balance of script."


"I smoked for approximately 17 years. I've cut down before but never quit! I eat healthy and exercise a lot, smoked organic cigarettes (9$-pack). When I needed a new car, I chose to cut costs. My insurance covered Chantix so I tried it to save some money (I never imagined I would fully quit). One night I ran out of cigarettes and thought I'd just try it out. The next couple of days I got typical nicotine withdrawal and detox symptoms - shakes, blood sugar issues, nausea, sweats, emotional/anger outbursts. The detox was intense and made me realize the physical impact on my body! I'm 21 days nicotine-free and my weight maintained. I had stomach pain but fixed it by taking it with yogurt and 8oz water. Only other side effect- gas and crazy dreams."


"I have had fibromyalgia for years but the last 3 years its been a nightmare. I ache all day and at night when you are supposed to get into bed and relax you can't as it feels like you are are a car engine that's been started up and can't turn it off. Your body feels active and you can't relax, I find my teeth are clenched or my hand, or my foot. So had enough three weeks ago took to my bed for three days crying, depressed, I take tramadol everyday, venlafaxine for anxiety, none of which take it away. So went to doctors she said give this ...all I can say is at present I have been on it for three weeks I now remember what a good nights sleep is , I can switch the engine off and actually properly relax its wonderful."


"My wife unexpectedly told me she wanted a divorce and I was devastated.  We have two small boys.  I instantly saw a psychiatrist who prescribed me 50 mg of Pristiq.  It seemed to help somewhat but I would still breakdown into hysterical crying fits.  After 15 days she put me on 100 mg and I've been fine ever since.  I feel like I can deal with this now.  I have not had any negative side effects, except shaking my leg.  I do have insomnia but I had that from the anxiety of the divorce and I'm prescribed something to help me sleep.  I can't say for sure if the Pristiq causes the insomnia, but I do feel a little amped.  Overall, it's better than I thought as I generally don't feel like I'm on something and feel like myself."


"I have been using Enbrel for about 2 yrs now and have been living a life that I never thought possible.  I am active both socially and athletically (lacrosse) I would not have been able to do any of these things without Enbrel.  I find this website to be a great avenue to post my thoughts and feeling about this miraculous drug.  However expensive it may seem this will undoubtedly CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I was on the verge of suicide every time I looked in the mirror.  I was horrified at how my body had mutated into an unrecognizable state.  My social life was ruined by a simple question, "what the hell is all over your _____ (hands, arms, legs face, scalp, palms, chest, back) PICK ONE AND I'VE HEARD IT!"


"I know this medicine is supposed to be great but the internal tremors are driving me crazy. I've been on luvox for a week now and the tremors make my anxiety 10 times worse! I also have a raspy voice that comes and goes."


"Given this for a UTI.  This is a horrible drug!    I only took 2 pills of this drug when I started getting the shakes and terrible anxiety.  Driving home from work, I was literally praying to god to get me home safely because I was shaking with a headache and awful anxiety.  Thankfully got home and had to sit down with my head between my legs because I thought I was going to pass out.  Spent an entire evening with anxiety and it persisted, to a lesser extent, the next day even off of the drug.  Also, did a number on my stomach - lost my appetite, probably due to the anxiety.  I think these side effects are common with this drug and very dangerous.  My pharmacist wasn't even sure if they still carried it.  Take with caution."


"I am a college student and found that for the first two months, Concerta worked wonders. It improved my mood, attention, and energy. It even helped with headaches. However, as I write this at 3 am, the side effect of sleep disruption has become unbearable. I either don't sleep for days or sleep for 20 hours a day for a week. Don't write it off, though. It is definitely effective and adjusting the dose may do the trick."


"I'm on my second Implanon,  and I love it.  The first one I got I didn't have a period for the whole 3 years I had it,  some weight gain but nothing extreme. No mood swings or anything like that. I got it put in because my cramps were excruciating and my periods were irregular as ever.  As soon as I got the first one out I got another put in. This one has been different then my first. I have my period every other month almost sometimes longer then that and they last about a week but not heavy. Still no babies tho! I would absolutely recommend the Implanon! Don't have to worry about taking a pill every day or going in to get a shot. You can't even tell its in your arm and it doesn't hurt to get put in. "


"My husband took his first dose last month and is getting ready to take his second dose in a few days.  While I think the drug is working, the Patient Cost Support Program is difficult to deal with and we are still struggling to get reimbursement."


"So far,

Has helped a nasty frozen shoulder! Pain free for a few days. NOTHING took away the pain except for this. Felt like I have had child-labor-pain in my arm for the last five months. NICE!!"


"I've been on this birth control for almost two months now, and it's been perfect! I started taking Mononessa in October, and it caused me to bleed for about sixty days straight - no good. I also noticed that my emotions were way out of whack, I was basically a trainwreck. When I switched over to Microgestin, not only did I stop bleeding within a week, but I feel more mentally balanced, too. I haven't experienced any side effects. I'm very happy with it, and plan to continue using it."


"I am taking Lomotil because I had surgery. Then bone infection set in and I had to take IV antibiotics which caused extensive diarrhea.  The first day I took Lomotil, it worked great for about 10 hours, but the following days, decreased in its effectiveness. By the third day, it was no longer working for me, but I attribute this to the antibiotics.  I will have to let my doctor know so that he can possibly prescribe another anti-diarrhea medicine or change my antibiotic."


"I tried Contrave for 5 days. I was just taking on in the morning and one at night. The side effects were too much. I was very dizzy, constant nausea, dry mouth and eyes and on the 5th day a slight ringing in my ear. I also had insomnia at night and sleepiness all day. Contrave did reduce my appetite and cravings. I might try Contrave agin later, but I'll start with just one pill a day.  I'll probably drink more water next time. I gave a 5 rating since I was only on the product 5 days."


"A week ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Due to the increase of my A1c my endo discussed several options for my diabetes. We both decided that Trulicity would be a good try along with an increased dose of Metformin. Was on 1500mg of metformin a day for polycystic ovarian disease. Currently on 2000mg a day plus the once a week Trulicity injection.
The day I started the shot I had an A1c of 8.6 and a glucose reading of 232. Since then and I am through my first week I have not had a glucose reading above 151. I have noticed quite a decrease in appetite and I have no desire to snack. I am colder than I used to be and there has been some mild diahrrea but I can deal with that over the high sugar readings."


"I was perscribed Levaquin for bronchitis and it was completely effective.  Now six months later I have developed a full compliment of the drugs side effects. Thrush, hives, yeast infection(vaginal), leg cramps and a knotted tendon. I am 65."


"Systane (Long lasting) makes my eyes blurry and they stay blurry for quite a long time.  However, Systane Ultra is just terrific.  I have been using it for, for glaucoma with dry eyes, a couple of years now and find that it relaxes my eyes, as well as moisturizes them.  The Systane (Long lasting) was purchased in error. Went back and got the Systane Ultra again and all is great.  I highly recommend it for dry eye problems."


"Been on Junel for over three months now, and I've noticed a huge change in my mood. I snap at the smallest things, have no remorse towards how I act, and then bawl my eyes out the next moment. It's to the point now I have called my dr and told them I don't want to take it anymore, but they said I have to finish this month. I'm dreading this month of what may come. I already suffer from depression and this is just making it much worse."


"I was hospitalized and couldn't sleep due to intense anxiety in the hospital. I was given 50mg Seroquel. I felt the effects within 20 minutes, but then they kept getting stronger for well over an hour until my perceptions of time and space were very distorted. I couldn't even sit in a chair without feeling I was going to fall out of it. Next I started getting paranoid until 16 hours later I took Klonopin and everything went back to normal. If I was at home or work and took Seroquel for the first time, it would have been a disaster. I did sleep for a few hours while I was on it, though."


"After turning 30, I started getting severe red painful cysts along my jawline, cheeks, and forehead. They would last forever, and would not go down with any topical treatments. I had my androgen levels checked and they were 3x the normal limit. Around this time, I was also having trouble maintaining my weight (5'4" around 120lb), my skin became really oily, and I felt fatigued all the time. I'm very active and eat very healthy so something was going on. I started Spironolactone 25mg - 2 tablets twice daily (three times daily around the time of my cycle), and it's as if I am a new person. The initial breakouts took about 3 months to completely go away, but now I have energy, no weight issues and no acne!"


"Tried it once by itself, very slight results after three minutes that lasted only about five minutes, and caused a lot of penile pain that lasted over an hour.  Tried a second time after taking Cialis first as suggested by Urologist, and it was even less effective, very slight results that lasted less than 5 minutes."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Piece of cake.  I stopped eating meat, poultry, and fish 2 days prior.  Ate low fiber foods day before prep, and only liquids day of.

Placed Suprep and water in freezer one hour before drinking.  Mixed it as per instructions, and drank it all through a straw in 10 minutes flat.  In between drinks, I'd swish some Powerade around to kill the after taste.  Drank my 32 ounces of water in another 15 minutes, and waited.

Didn't have to wait long!  45 minutes after the first gulp, it had arrived at the other end.  Off and on the toilet and it was over 90 minutes later.

The 3am feeding produced the same results, but this time it only took 15 minutes to arrive.  1 hour later, it too had finished.

No chills, nausea, or headache.  Taste not that bad."


"I suffer from severe head aches whether they are sinus head aches cluster head or aches migrane headaches... I have no idea that's what 3 different doctors told me.. It was so bad one morning I had to go to the Er they have me a ib profein iv which made the pain go away at about 50%. When they discharged me he prescribed me ketorolac..complete junk!

 Advil liquid gels worked better than this crap!"


"I've been taking it for over a year.  I have taken Lexapro before, but it stopped working.  I take 40 mg a day, I take mine in the morning. I have to say that I still have a burning in my stomach, and night sweats, but I absolutely love this medication. It's the best. I feel more myself. I don't have hateful outbursts, I don't yell at my boys, and I love the way I feel.  So thankful my doctor tried me on this."


"Bad side effects restless leg syndrome, stomach cramps can't sleep at night"


"I have chronic arthritis and have for 25 years. Believe me I have tried everything.  Finally pain clinic doc put me on Zohydro and I have my life back.  I can't tell you how much it helps.  Please don't let anything happen to where FDA takes this drug away. Why do the druggies have to ruin it for the people that are in pain always.  Thank you  Zohydro...thank you.."


"I have taken Cipro before for my urinary tract infection. It worked then but not this time around. I now have hives and am very itchy with headaches."


"Took this medicine for a slight bacterial vaginitis infection and also experienced the terrible metallic taste, dark urine and bowel movements, moderate nausea and hot flashes due to rapid heart rate it caused. Pills seemed to have worked and was worth 2 day of these symptoms."


"Went in for a routine check up a year ago and told my doctor something has been up and I don't feel right.   Asa medical student myself, I knew something was up and wasn't going to leave without answers. I explained what was going on and what has been going through my head, and she diagnosed me with depression. I have felt the way I've felt for 11 years because at the young age of 8 I almost lost my dad in a motorcycle accident and the doctors led me to believe I had. I became a recluse... my emotions took over... I got perscribed Vilazodone, and took it up until recently and realized it did NOTHING for me. It was supposed to balance my serotonin levels in my brain that cause depression and anxiety, but it only made me feel worse."


"I have been on Lexapro for 3 months now. While I still have my moments I feel way more confident and can handle life's curve balls so much better."


"I use Flexeril for muscle spasms that I have in my left arm and shoulder. One of the side effects of this medication is that it causes severe drowsiness. Once I take the medication, I must go to bed immediately.  I am able to sleep through the night where before the spasms would wake me throughout the night. When I first began to take the medication, I found that I was very tired when I awoke in the morning. To combat this, I go to bed about two hours earlier. This is appearing to work out well. Now I awake rested and free of tightness, aches, and pains."


"I've been on TriNessa for a year and a half now. It's prevented pregnancy, made my boobs bigger, and made my periods more regular and lighter. However, I have been severely depressed and anxious. I never realized it that it was because of TriNessa due to the fact that I've been dealing with anxiety and depression for 7 years now. However, ever since I started I have been so anxious that, at one point, I was border-line anorexic from being nauseous with no appetite, I've had severe sleep disorders that have stemmed from the anxiety and depression, and I've had serious thoughts of suicide on multiple occasions. DO NOT take TriNessa if you have a history of anxiety or depression!!!"


"Well it did what this medicine was suppose to do although it did cause a small duodenum perforation that landed me in the hospital. I had severe constipation from methadone which I came off of due this issue. I felt no pain I'd like to add and I would give it the thumbs up. Umm I was prescribed it after my second day off methadone to reverse the problem. It seemed to work. Better, gentler than Relistor. Hopefully you folks find this helpful. Also I did have a little withdrawal such as sneezing and mild bone chills but the end out come I feel was well worth it!! Good luck!"


"I used to have super heavy periods, where even standing up would be an issue (now have bloodstains all around the house from leaking) and I would leak through super plus tampon and super night pad together after just an hour, now my period is 'normal' I wouldn't call it light cause it's still not light I think but it's just normal like other people's periods and I think it is FAB! and I would recommend this to any fellow lady with crazy mental periods because I've not leaked since! wooooo ((however cramps have slightly worsened))"


"Didn't really do much at all for me. I truly WANTED it to work, but it was like taking a placebo."


"I was prescribed this for cough. My sister is a respiratory therapist of 25 years. She said it's really bad to stop the mucus being coughed up and suppressing the mucus to settle into your lungs. She said a lot of people end up getting pneumonia when they take it for long periods of time."


"I've been on it for 6 months. My 2nd time and I've had real heroin clean time before without sub maintance. I still have cravings on subs and I hate being on them. I need meetings and a sponsor but feel like a fraud so I don't go and when I rarely do I share in a meeting and break down crying. I know the horrific withdrawals I had the last time I got off sub maintance and it led to relapse a week later so I'm so terrified. I feel stuck and trapped in a corner n have crazy thoughts like going and buying to bundle of heroin to get off the suboxon but then I'm afraid I probably won't stop the heroin n will have to go to detox n rehab and now I have a 10 month old daughter so that's not an option. I can't risk getting off of it n hate bein on it"


"I'm starting week 11 today on Phentermine 30mg.  Constipation still my worse side effect. I have just the next 2wks on the  pill.  Overall very satisfied.  SW 274 CW 229 GW 200"


"This medication does come with its somewhat unpleasant side effects, but I have to say that I am happy. I am finally hopeful. For weeks I was so down, feeling weighed down by negative thoughts and feelings of hopelessness. It got to a point where I couldn't even concentrate at work. I was crying under my desk. Two weeks after taking Lexapro, I feel alive again. Doesn't mean I don't occasionally feel sad, but I don't have the pain in my chest, that heavy feeling that came with being depressed. I have the will to do things now. Nevertheless, it does make me a little jittery, especially after coffee! I'm on 10mg, I tried cutting the pill in half today, but still feel hyperactive. Will consult with my doctor but small price to pay for happiness."


"Took this shot one week ago ,the pain is worse I wish I wouldn't have done it.cant sleep knee is  swollen.IM UP ALL NIGHT!"


"I too took suboxone to treat opiate withdrawal and it truly is a miracle drug. However, after 7 years of being on Suboxone daily, I'm now dependent on this. The withdrawals are just as bad as withdrawing from any opiate and some say worse. So my advice to you from my own experience is to immediately start tapering off suboxone the second you start taking it. My first attempt using suboxone only took 3 days of usage, I stopped before my body became dependent and for a month after I felt perfect. I then started taking it regularly out of fear of relapsing with opiates. Now I'm haunted by the fact I'm totally dependent on suboxone. It's a very strong drug and I personally think way over prescribed dosage wise."


"I was on this pill for 1 1/2 years. When I first started taking it, I had the usual side effects, upset stomach but when I took it with food, I was fine. However if you miss a pill, only retake 1 (the missed pill), not 2 or you will vomit then continue the rest of the pack. I never had any pregnancy scare, my period always came on like clockwork.  In April of 2016, my period came on twice and the second time it did not go off for almost 4 weeks. My breasts were also super sensitive. My doctor switched me the next month. Other than that I had no issues and loved this birth control. I recommend to watch out for unusual signals that may present themselves."


"Took my first dose 11/4/16 with apprehension after reading reviews.  I only had one really bad day on 12/4/16 nausea pain in tummy but that was it. Not able to eat much. I've lost 4pound so its working"


"Diarrhea, uncontrollable muscle spasms, severe panic attacks, severe anxiety, severe restlessness, sweating, and bruising is all this medication did to me."


"This is my first month taking it. My skin actually looks clearer. Lost 2 lbs since starting. Periods were always painful for me but not since taking this. Hardly any pain this time. I'm feeling lighter. I've actually lost my appetite a little. My skin has been feeling a little "crawly" every now and then since starting these pills. I keep thinking a bug is on me. I've been feeling a little more tired than usual as well so I've started taking energy shots. As far as my mood goes, I'm feeling slightly more aggressive. All in all, I'm happy with the results so far. I just hope things stay this way!"


"This gave me depression. The copper toxicity did not allow for me to lose weight, I had ongoing infections that immediately went away after removed. I had low sex drive and acne a month after having it inserted.  My discharge smells more than usual"


"I dropped 35 pounds on this medication in 6 months without exercising. I also took up smoking cigarettes and heavy drinking to counteract the jitters that can leave you unable to sleep. (Not a good combination for your body.) You have to literally force yourself to eat.  Your body will build up a tolerance to it, even at increased dosages, and eventually you will have to get off of it.  So if you have not established a healthy change of lifestyle (which was my unattained goal to begin with) you will gain the weight back, which I did. I also have suspected liver damage from combining phentermine with Aleve and alcohol.  Side effects: heavy armpit sweating and mental fog."


"I was prescribed Tramadol for kidney stones. Took 1 each day and gradually changed.  I stopped putting my head down when I left my apartment, trying to avoid eye contact with neighbors. I was actually smiling and stopping to say hello and people were now smiling back and waving. I did not have a knot in my stomach at the thought of riding the subway.  I was not cutting short my visits to clients only to return after hours and to work so I could avoid being around people.  I felt happy and I was not ready to fight with the first person that bumped into me on the street.  It was as if something in me was broken and Tramadol somehow fixed it.  All the bad things are back and I want more Tramadol but I can't get it. thinking of asking a Doctor."


"I'm 40 and have been a long life sufferer of migraines especially 3/4 days before my period. My migraines would last 4/5 days with the first day not able to function at all. I will be looking for a cool, dark and quite room to lay my body in and not to speak.. Since I was prescribed Naproxen 250 mg, I started taking 2 just as I start feeling a tingle of it coming. It doesn't stop it all together, but it eases it. It made my life a lot better. I get a lot less episodes of migraine that don't last long. I also made a change in my life style. I make sure I avoid stress when I can, I do take at least a day when I don't do anything but chill, not even housework. My diet has always been very healthy and balanced so I know it's not it's not that."


"I have been off and on medicines for depression for over 10 years. I love Celexa. I have energy and it helps with my anxiety too. It did take a few weeks to kick in. I really recommend this antidepressant because I think it's multi-purpose and does it's job."


"I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 4 years now and after the first year, I had a GREAT amount of pain relief.  It takes time to fully cooperate with your body. I rarely get bad endometrial pain anymore and when I do, I just take a naproxen pill (which is very rare)!"


"I am about to get my first Implanon taken out after almost 3 years of having it.  The first year and a half I had no period - minimal spotting.  For the next six to eight months I had a period every 1.5 - 2 months and for only 3-5 days with minimal cramping.  The last portion of the 3 year cycle though it's become more like 1 full, or almost full period every two to three weeks, cramping elevated but still not what it used to be without any birth control.

I am considering having another put in, if my doctor thinks that a new Implanon would set my body back to the 1.5 years of no periods, that was nice. If she thinks it will continue on where it's at, I will look into another form."


"I'm 18, and this is my first YI as most women call it. I did research on what to use to get rid of the infection. I found Monistat 7. I read the comments, and was scared, I didn't want to be in such pain that I'd cry myself to sleep. But I wanted the infection gone. I got it, looking at the upside that the burning would only last 15-20 min. I took ibuprofen, put on anti-itch cream to prevent extreme itching, and put the Monistat in I then put an ice pack over my area, to lower the heat, and prevent the yeast from getting stronger. Knowing that yeast feeds off of heat. 3 minutes into laying down, a heat came, then a slight burning. The itching sucks but I'm prepared to take on the next 6 days! I would definitely suggest Monistat 7 for a YI!"


"I was prescribed flexeril 10 mg twice a day as needed after experiencing lower back pain resulting from epidurals (I did not take this while I was pregnant or nursing).  My discs would slip out of place and pinch the nerve(s) in my back causing me great pain.  I would get adjusted to get the bone alignment right, but the swelling and pain was still there.  Flexeril worked great for me.  It is great to take at night; it helps you sleep. But, I have also taken it during the day if the pain was bad enough.  I will drink a 5 hour energy or something equivalent to help me stay awake and function at work.  I definitely wouldn't take this if I were driving.  This medication in combination with an 800 mg Ibuprofen is wonderful."


"I have used this medicine two separate times for severe cystic acne. I never had a problem with acne until I was a nursing school student. This cleared up all my cystic pimples at that time. A few years later they returned when I stopped taking birth control. I got a prescription for Benzamycin again and they all cleared up once more. This product makes your skin somewhat dry but works wonderfully."


"I have not noticed any effect from Bontril at all. No side effects, no reduction of hunger, no energy. It's as if I never even took anything. I have lost a couple of pounds but that is because I am eating very healthy and really cutting back but I am starving all the time.  I'm not sure I will be able to make it this way."


"I started taking lexapro my first semester of sophomore year in college for depression and  anxiety and have been taking it for about six months now. My anxiety causes me to have extreme panic attacks where I break out in rashes and get frequent bloody noses. Since being on lexapro, I have not had a single attack!
 I also haven't had any extreme side effects although I have had increased appetite and have gone from 95-100lbs to about 115lbs.
However, the withdrawal symptoms are very serious, take it everyday and try not to skip any days. I got a nasty cold and stopped taking it for awhile and then spent a whole week thinking I had a horrible flu (nausea, vomiting, headaches) only to realize I was going through withdrawals."


"Since I've started taking Zonegran I have not had ANY flare ups of tremors in my hands. No bad side effects however, one good one... It has helped me lose weight!"


" Ever since I started taking this birth control, I noticed a complete shift in myself. I have been soooooo depressed and my mood swings are so out of control. Before I started this birth control, I was a very happy and out going person and now I'm so depressed and emotionally about everything.  My appetite is either extremely hungry are not hungry at all. There will be days where I just keep getting hungry and other days where I'm  hunger maybe once a day and that's all. I'm always naueseous when I do eat and my cramps feel just the same as before. Beware and do your research before taking this!!"


"I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Kept me up, maniacally freaking out, until 4 am. Followed by extreme nightmares and tossing and turning. My head felt like it was going to explode. I literally almost went to the hospital. Terrifying. "


"On my 8th week with Harvoni,  headaches, fatigue and stomach pain,  but light very tolerable.  Had the virus for 40 years, 13 million when I started now not detected. Too good to be true! But it is!!! Got it in the army!!"


"I have suffered with allergies all my life . For past three months I have been taking Zyrtec. I have not had one symptom. Zyrtec has kept me in the clear -  it has been a god send for me."


"I have had a very good response with invega sustenna. On higher levels of the med I had greater side effects but now I am down to 39 mg with no psychosis and limited side effects. I feel like I have gotten my life back. This drug has been a life saver for me enabling me to be in recovery."


"I went from pain to feeling pain free within an hour."


"I have been prescribed solfenacin for overactive bladder but within 2 days I was constipated. I kept up the dose while trying to alleviate the bowel problem. Eventually I stopped the solfenacin after 4 days dosing and then 3 days after that my bowel responded, after it had been helped with natural stimulants such as prunes & liquorice. Solfenacin has a long half life so I think I have now resumed dosage but will take 2 on 2 successive days then another 3 days later. The OAB was not excessively bad so I will see how it responds before my next visit to the specialist & whether the night trip/s to the toilet becomes a thing of the past."


"I had the implant put in May of 2015 today is Feb 6,2017 and I had it removed today..... I got it shortly after a miscarriage I was satisfied for the first couple months then I started bleeding constantly for months at a time. It definitely does what it's suppose to do (keep you from getting pregnant) because you can't have sex. Lol it just wasn't for me"


"Was prescribed this for a sore throat and it worked very well. Even better, was that apparently it stopped my extreme snoring. Also, I had the best dreams while taking it: very vivid, dark and awesome. This stuff really made my throat feel better and helped me make a speedy recovery."


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"This drug is suppose to the generic for Donnatal, I am 63
and I have had IBS-D since I was twenty. I have tried most of the name brand drugs and Donnatal work the best for me.
This drug does work and cost the same as Donnatal."


"I LOVE Depo-Provera! Only 1 shot every 3 months. Unlike the stupid pill which I keep forgetting to take. Weight gain is the only negative thing for me, which I don't really care for. No mood swings, no period. So I'm super happy with my shot yay!"


"I went to doctor and told her my left arm was starting to freeze up like the right one did. I have R A for 15 yrs. The next morning I thought a miracle had taken place. Never felt so good for so many years. Went to Costa Rica and after about two months it returned. Came home and after searching for the drug. They had it at the hospital. Took it to my doctor and he gave it to me in right hip. Didn't last but about one month. Next time he gave it to me in my left hip and it maybe lasted 3 weeks. The next time I ask him to give it were my other doctor in Panama city beach,fl gave it to me. In my left arm and it is still lasting. Also noticed how my complexion cleared up. I have rosacea. Once it got in my eyes. You need to get it from a hospital drug store."


"I'm a 43 year old with T levels on the low end of the scale, compared to the average for my age.  On my third day of Testim, I am already the feeling positive effects of the medicine: more mental alertness, less sluggishness.  I have experienced a headache on the second day but it has gone away. The smell of the medicine on application doesn't bother me. To me, Testim smells like rubbing alcohol and the smell soon dissipates. I also use a spray of cologne on each shoulder to disguise any scent that I may not be smelling."


"Didn't take my nausea away completely but it did not make me sleepy."


"I am female in her early 30's - about 3 years ago I developed adult acne after years of relatively clear skin. Benzyol peroxide had been my miracle acne product but then I developed contact dermatitis and could no longer use it :( I honestly could not go more than a day without a new pimple developing despite using other prescription acne grade products, vitamin A as well as expensive spa treatments. I have been on Aczone about a month and have had instant results, I have not had a cystic pimple since. I still get blackheads and have milia on my chin/jawline but no pimples/whiteheads/cysts to speak of and have had no issues with dry skin. The product is pricey but I will save in the long run not wasting my money on others that don't work."


"I take 1500mg daily, morning, noon mid afternoon, tea time and evening. They have kept my fits away ."


"I'm in week 4 and I'm down 8 pounds. Pros for me: Nighttime cravings and overeating are completely gone!  I'm able to stick to my Weight Watchers plan. I'm also finding I don't overeat when I go out to eat.  Huge deal for me. Also, I no longer crave diet cokes and I'm in a better mood overall.  Cons for me: First week I had mild headaches and a lot of days I still have some mild stomach discomfort.  Because of this I only take 1 pill in the a.m. and 2 in the p.m.  I find this works best for me.  Overall I'm extremely happy with this drug!!"


"I've only been on this medicine for a month and am experiencing more mood swings. My anxiety has worsened along with my fatigue. I am also experiencing hives and skin sensitivity"


"There is nothing more scarier than that first few seconds when your seizure starts and nobody is around. Tegretol has saved my life! I am so thankful my doc put me on these tablets 200mg three times a day and I'm happily seizure free."


"I was experiencing panic attacks, which persisted for 5 days. I have had this disorder my whole life, but it was bad, and I developed depression along with it this time. I was prescribed Zoloft, and after a few days, I feel amazing! The panic has reduced by about 70%, and I feel happier than I have for a while. Instead of wanting to crawl in a hole and shy away from my responsibilities, I feel like I now want to do things, and no longer feel the need to take Xanax. I feel amazing, and more importantly, I feel like me again. The only side effect I noticed was lack of appetite, and I have to make myself eat. Other than that, no side effects, and hopefully my appetite will return when my body adjusts to the medication. Thank you Zoloft!"


"I went on this medication and at first was very excited about it. By month 3 I had gained 10lbs and lost my libido. I also fainted once and had to be prescribed a sleeping pill. Needless to say, it is not working for me."


"I took this BC for about 5 years it was absolutely amazing for the first four years, with the exception of having spotting here or there but once we got through about 3-6 months that ended and only getting my period ever three months was AMAZING! I had a very light period with little to no cramps while on this pill. About a year ago I stopped taking it after having been on it for close to 5 years. I went on vacation and continued to take my pill at the same time every day and I had my period for the ENTIRE three weeks I was gone. A very heavy and painful period too which was completely abnormal. I also completely lost my sex drive before stopping using this and have now stopped taking it and I am honestly scared to experiment with new pills"


"Have tried so many medicines to help my dry eye. I mentioned to my Doctor that during allergy season my eyes were worse so he prescribed Lastacaft. I tried it right in the office and again the next day. Have been using it for 5 days now and have not had to use ANY other drops for dry eye!  This is amazing as I was using drops multiple times a day.  This doesn't burn or itch but does kind of feel like I've used a cooling liquid in my eye, sort of like menthol but it disappears within about a minute. Great product."


"I started Belviq on Thursday evening before dinner and today is Sunday morning.  I weighed in at 327-328 on Thursday and this morning was 324. I felt the affects instantly. I was shocked how sick I felt after trying to eat a regular size serving. I've had almost half the usual amount of food at EVERY single meal since I started.  And almost zero between meal snacks. (I did have about 7 fresh cherries yesterday, but that's been the only snack).   No side effects - maybe a little dry mouth. I'm not expecting to continue seeing this level of weight loss continue - but I'm so optimistic about my future now. I love how tiny the pills are and I got a certificate from the Belviq website that makes it possible for me to only pay $75. It's  worth it"


"I have a lower fractured back due to a car accident. This midicatition is the only one that takes my pain away and lets me function normaly. I am a preschool teacher so I have to stay on top of job and Vicodin defenatilly helped me do that. Just make sure you eat a good meal before taking this, other wise you may become nauses"


"I've taken Lialda for about a month for my UC using doctor samples. It has reduced my flare ups, although it does take a while and does not work over night, it seems to be working for me. I want to continue taking Lialda and have a perscription from my doctor but can't seem to find a pharmacy that carries it.

My overall rating of Lialda is high because it was working, atleast for me. I would suggest finding out if you can get LIalda in your area before consideration."


"I started using Zoloft on Wednesday the 5th of December 2012. Todays date is the 8th of Dember 2012. 4 days, it has only taken 4 days for me to feel like a new person. I have been on it before, therefore i know what side effects to expect. Everybody is different but i suffered from loss of appetite, headaches, nausea, a bit dizz, lower back pain, trembling hands. This only lasts for a week or two. I used to cry for no reason (even at work), snap at my partner for stupid things, i was paranoid over everything, socially scared (always wanted to stay home). I haven't cried since being on Zoloft, nor snap at my partner. I am a new person now. I'm so happy and look forward to my new life.  100/100."


"This pill made my life hell. It increased my suicidal ideation and I attempted a few times on it. I felt dissociation and I became even more depressed. They wouldn't let me off it, however, and actually increased my dosage to above the maximum adult dose before I finally was able to stop taking it. Upon stopping the medication I felt better and was less suicidal."


"My doctor put me on 7.5mg for bulging disc. They help me get up in the mornings and I am able to work a full time job. I think that they work great. It is a shame for people to abuse them. It took my doctor a while to give them to me because of people abusing them but they are wonderful. Thanks doctor for helping me live a full life."


"I got this implant in October 2015 which was about 10 months ago. Worst decision of my entire life! While it did its job by not getting me pregnant it has a ton of side effects. First my arm gets the extreme pains where the implant is at random times. When I got the thing I was around 210 and I had recently just lost 50 pounds and I was feeling great about myself. Well now I weigh 281 and I believe it is because when I got the implant I started to crave certain foods and they wouldn't go away until I had it. The third thing is it made me extremely moody all of the time. My family and I have and I have been evaluating my behavior and I get angry for no reason all of the time. Last thing my periods happen 2 a month and they last 7-10 days!"


"I have been on Lexapro for about two weeks now and I can definitely tell the difference. I have depression and anxiety and this medicine has helped me manage both. I had a horrible temper and I was always verbally attacking my husband because I had conditioned myself to be all the defensive so that insults wouldn't bother me. I have been able to tell the difference that I am not angry with my husband all of the time. He doesn't like the fact that I am on medication but he acknowledges that the change in me has been extremely helpful in making our relationship better."


"I just came off Aromasin, on tamoxifen for 2 years, then Aromasin for 5 years. I am having cold chills and then hot flashes, now.  While on it I had all the side effects, sore bones, hot flashes, gained weight, etc.   "


"Severe neuropathy pain in both hands and feet for over a year. Was just sent to a pain management doctor who prescribed 24 mg of Exalgo once daily along with 4 mg of Dilaudid every 6-8 hours. Now have no pain whatsoever. This is a true miracle."


"I have been an occasional binge drinker for years, going on 2-3 day tangents.  The next day, I have gotten the shakes very bad.  My doctor gave me Librium which really helped at one time, but it seems throughout the years I need a larger dose now.  What usually works is in the am as soon as I wake up, I take one 25mg. pill. 2 hours later another 25 mg. pill, then about 4 hours after that, another, 4 hours later another.  So that would 100 mg the first day. This is on the day after drinking.  On the 2nd day, I usually only need one or two 25 mg. pills, Then I'm fine.  I'm tired of going through this, think I'll start AA today or tomorrow.  Nothing feels worse than a hangover! Drinking doesn't solve your problems!"


"I've only been on this medicine for a month and am experiencing more mood swings. My anxiety has worsened along with my fatigue. I am also experiencing hives and skin sensitivity"


"I was on Lamictal in the past and it was wonderful, it really helped me control my mood and anger issues but of course like any bipolar person I stop taking medicines. I was but on other meds that affected me the wrong way. I am now back on them and can't wait till I am at my right dosage. You have to give it time and slowly get to the right dosage. It CAN and WILL help. In past I was on it for 2 years."


"Prozac has been a miracle for my anxiety. My anxiety was always like a constant static in my head. This "static" has caused me to have social anxiety has well. On Prozac, I feel my anxiety (the static in my head) isn't holding me back anymore, I talk to people and I can finally be happy and free."


"Very disappointed.  Have been on Belviq for more than 6 months.  Was diagnosed with diabetes 3 years ago and lost 90 pounds by changing my diet and exercising.  Still had more weight to loose, so I asked the doctor about Belviq.  He started me on the drug.  Not only did I not loose additional weight, I have actually gained 10 pounds since I began taking it.  Nothing else has changed.  Still eating the same foods in the same quantities."


"I started the pill on 3/18/2017 SW was 302. I stepped on the scale today 3/21/2017 and was down 5 pounds 297. I am 5'9 with curves (built like Serena Williams)  so my weight is in all the right places just want to lose my arm and stomach fat. I also workout 5 times a week and eat pretty healthy. I drink a gallon of water M-F between 8 AM and 5 PM. I tend to pee a lot, I don't be hungry as I use to be. I sleep pretty good, and I only experienced a headache once so far."


"Started Naltrexone 3 days ago.
Cravings have subsided but the sedated feeling remained.

Dr. advised to take it before bedtime to help with the side effects.

Going to try taking it in the evening before bed and will let you know my thoughts.
I'd like to function in the day and not be dizzy.

Keep you posted!
Stay strong my resilient ppl."


"Well this is a veeeery strong drug and an effective one but has a lot of side effects and the withdrawal is an absolute nightmare. I started taking paroxetine because of depression, social anxiety and suicidal thoughts. The drug has helped me to overcome the crippling anxiety but it also made me emotionaly numb. This numbness is a common side effect for SSRI but in my case it caused an aggravation of depression. While taking paxil I felt like nothing made sense anymore. It was a horrible experience but then again it allowed me to see things more objectively without the overpowering emotional ballast I had before. I stopped taking paroxetine and now I feel like I was on a long vacation from my self and my mind."


"I will recommend Flomax to anyone with kidney stones..mine was a sharp intense pain on the left side of my back. I haven't had this kind of pain in my life. It's worse than child labour pain. Been battling with the pain until the urologist prescribed this medicine..in less than 2 weeks I passed it out with no pain."


"I'm a 21 year old male. I have been smoking since I was 14 and decided to quit smoking several times with no long term success. I smoked over a pack a day. I'm on day 7 of Chantix and have cut down to probably 2 cigarettes. Although they taste terrible its still a habit that I'm trying to break. Let's talk side effects. The nausea is bad if I don't eat. I have some sexual erectile dysfunction but seems to be frustrating for me and my girlfriend. My coworkers have noticed an increase in my irritability as well as theirs. I hope to completely stop smoking within the next couple of days and think that the few side effects I seem to be having are well worth the side effects of a pack/day."


"Finally found something that worked and I actually felt like myself again. First month was free with card from manufacturer. Next month, $120 co pay, nope not happening, especially since it does not cost this company that much to make this drug. Back to feeling like crap again. Thanks Brintellix for the 4 weeks of getting to feel normal again and then making it too expensive to continue to take it! Really appreciate it!"


"Took 18mg Concerta for 5 days. On day two, I woke up and cleaned and tidied the whole house, my partner thought something was wrong with me! Then the side effects came... Nausea, depression, anxiety. By the time I was coming down at around 3pm I had to stay at home, I was unable to drive my car or even just go out. My doc wanted to try me on 5mg Ritalin 3x a day quick release but I refused. After reading the reviews on here about dexamphetamine I started them this morning. 5mg 3x a day. Hopefully this will be the one for me."


"Took literally 45 minutes to kick in when I have severe debilitating rheumatoid arthritis and I had a bad fall, went to ER gave me this while I went in for x-ray still no relief. Finally 45 mins I can feel my pain slightly go away."


"Love this and its only been three days. I have had acne since I was 16 and just put up with it after trying Proactiv, Chinese medicine, every brand of stuff from supermarket and chemist (well almost) the Dianne contraceptive combination pill, changing diet, washing face compulsively and also washing face less often! Nothing seemed to work! After having my son 3 months ago and frustrated with my acne I decided to ask the doctor! I got a sample tube of this miracle cream and noticed a huge improvement on first application, after half a day my acne was less raised and my older spots were healed with just a little bit of redness! Into my third day and I'm so impressed, gained a bit of confidence back and feeling good about myself!"


"This did nothing for me and my insomnia. It worked great the first 2 days I took it. It's great for stressful situations when you feel like you are going to have a panic attack but for me and insomnia it didn't do anything."


"I was put on this birth control at the age of 14 due to severe ovarian cysts and breakthrough bleeding from other pills. It was absolutely wonderful the first two years. My skin glowed, I kept a great weight, my periods were always on time. However, all this soon went down hill around the third year. I started to have overwhelming feeling of depression wash over me multiple times during the day, I became sluggish, I didn't want to do things with friends or family, and my relationships suffered greatly overall. After stopping this pill, my mood swings diminished and I feel like my old self again. Never going back to this pill again."


"I've had the implant in for a little over a year now.  I remember reading these reviews before getting my implant and feeling very unsure.  I want to remind people that people are more likely to leave a review for a BAD experience than a GOOD experience.
Since getting the implant, I had one period that lasted about 3 weeks.  It wasn't bad.  Since then, no periods!  It's like a dream.  No other ill side effects - my sex drive is fine, no mood swings, and NO BABIES.  I would highly recommend trying this.  If you experience bleeding for 5+ weeks, CALL YOUR DOCTOR and they will probably remove it and recommend something else.  It won't work for everyone but it might work for you like it did me.  Just call your doc if anything feels wrong!"


"I was diagnosed with stage 4 Leiomyosarcoma 7/16/2013. Tumors in my stomach, liver, and a few affected lymph nodes. Had surgery and removed 40% of my stomach on 8/30/13. Surgery was a success. I Underwent 4 1/2 months of chemo with minimal shrinkage to existing tumors but did stunt the growth of the tumors. At that point my tumors were considered inoperable. Started Votrient  2/14, just found out my tumors have shrunk enough on my liver to be operable. Liver Surgery scheduled 10/14. So happy, praying Votrient is our miracle. Good luck to others with my condition."


"I used to be at a mental state where everyday I would lie on my bed for about 3 hours because I didn't want to do anything. I had severe suicidal thoughts for 2 years and kept switching medications because they caused weight gain. After about a week of taking the medication my weight started dropping and my grades shot up to b's instead of c's. Now I'm doing great. I've never had higher grades and haven't felt this good for years. I'd really recommend it. I haven't had side effects yet and probably won't."


"I'm only on 5mg for additional control of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome along with 125mg of Amitriptyline. The amitriptyline was causing a high heart rate at current dose. Propranolol has helped bring my heart rate back down to normal along with helping my anxiety. Unfortunately I think it would work better if I went up in dosage but I can't because my blood pressure is getting to low. Side effects I had that went away with time were tiredness,  diarrhea, feeling flat on emotions."


"Didn't help win the emotional attachment aspect of Borderline Personality Disorder, but it definitely reduced my suicidal thoughts and self harm urges."


"My boyfriend and I had sex on the very last day of my period. I keep careful track of it and keep note. Without noticing, the condom broke and came in me (Jan 20). It was 6am and there was no pharmacies open around me, so I had to wait until 10, a good 4 hours after the indicent. CVS didn't have plan B and opted for Aftera, the next available. She said it was the same thing only $10 less. 2 weeks after taking the pill, I had terrible breast tenderness, swelling, I had light cramps that would come and go every so often. 3 weeks came and still no period. FINALLY, on Feb 18, my period came. This pill is extremely strong, different side effects for different people. Hope this helps someone. GOOD LUCK GIRLS!"


"The condom broke on the day of my ovulation time. I was so scared, it was 11:00 at night so every pharmacy was closed. I went the next day around 1 pm and I took it. I had no side effects just got really hungry. Today 2 weeks later I got my period. I was so relieved ."


"I was 12 years old when I started smoking and smoked for 31 years and got up to 3 packs a day.  The VA facility that I went to told me that they do not cover Chantix but my doctor wrote me a prescription and I was more than happy to pay.  Terrified of not having that cigarette, it took me two days before I would take one.  The first day I smoked maybe 3 cigs, the second maybe 2 and by the first week I didn't even light up.  I didn't seem to have a lot the side affects, but I did have weird dreams and believe it or not bed wetting a couple of times.  After the second full week of Chantix I felt like I didn't want to or care to have another cigarette so I went off of it.   This July 1st I will be 10 years smoke free. Thank you Chantix!!!!!"


"Similar to other reviews, Belbuca did not relieve my chronic cervical pain.  My pain management physician started me on 150mcg January 2016, and within 90 days, moved me to 300mcg. I received minimal pain relief from this medication, (about 2 hours) and the packet can be difficult to work with.  Regardless of following the directions, I received inconsistent results when it came to how the medication is designed to dissolve. At the end of the day I no choice but to move back to my original pain medication."


"i have smoked for more than 30years, tried to quit so many times, im an expert 'quitter' :) The longest time i stopped was 2 weeks. Anyway i was at a hospital and there was this quit smoking program. Decided hell i might as well get some help since i cant do it on my own. Patch did not help me at all.

I thank my stars that Champix/Chantix came out on the market....its a wonder drug!! First day on 0.5mg i felt the difference immediately, craving has lessen considerably and i can actually taste food - the feeling was exhilarating ~ the first week...i have never felt that good for a long time!"


"I have taken this medicine several times now over the last few years. My husband and I have unprotected sex but he usually pulls out in time unless we're trying to get pregnant. Every now and then he doesn't pull soon enough and I have to take the pill for safe measure. It truly works. Some side effects I typically experience are: nausea, heavy or late periods, prolonged periods (up to 14 days long), sore/tender breasts, and cramps. I also get super moody and very impatient. Although they aren't the most pleasant, it's worth it if you're not planning on have a baby. It works. This last time I took it a little after 48 hours of having sex, 3 days before I ovulated and we're in the clear :) good luck"


"I first went on Lexapro 10mg in 2010. I was previously on Paxil and Klonipin and while they weren't too bad I wasn't myself. I switched to Lexapro 10mg and it immediately helped me. I felt great except for some weight gain. In 2012 I began to get depressed and than due to some high stress situations I had a small panic attack which then followed with the return of GAD. My doctor increased the dosage to 20mg and also added Klonipin. This only made we feel worse. I finally switched to Effexor and Remeron which was better but not great. last year I decided to give Lexapro another shot and it's been 5 months that I've been on it. Unfortunately I have also had to take Adivan and the experience has been horrible. This week I will switch to Zoloft"


"20 a day for 26 years. Tried e-cigs, patches, gum, even Allen Carr. Champix felt like my last chance and damn, it worked for me!

Yes to nausea (even with food) and vivid dreams but no mood swings or irrational behaviour (so far) and I actually have a long history of depression and anxiety so I was really expecting that.

I quit smoking on day 13 of the meds. Partly cos you HAVE to make that choice and partly 'cos it was just horrid to smoke. I can't even stand the smell now. A few cravings but easy to get over them.

It's only day 18 but I do feel really confident this is it for me now. Champix might not be for everyone but if you really have tried everything else then why not?"


"My mother has severe gout and has reactions to both apuranol and cholcine. She had to take predisone since she couldn't take the other medications. Since, she started taking Uloric it has controlled her gout without any side effects.
Seems very effective and safe."


"The only medication that I have taken, that has done anything to reduce pain from disc herniation."


"I was recently put on depo provera as a last-ditch effort prior to undergoing a full hysterectomy to relieve serious pain from endometriosis. While it has been effective for relieving the pain, I have been heavily spotting or more for over 2 months now... every day. I decided not to get another shot and I am now experiencing random horrible stabbing pains in my ovary (not like the endometriosis pain). Pain aside... 2 months of feeling too gross to have sex - I feel bad for my husband!

I was on depo for years during my younger years and never had any issues. I stopped taking it because I thought I was going to be able to have children; that turned out to not be the case, so I thought it couldn't hurt to try it again... bad choice!"


"Shift work at plant. Medicine allows me to think at 2 am when my body is shutting down. This medicine is not magic. You will not have magical capabilities to learn and solve the worlds problems. But you may function somewhat normally as a person again. Do feel some euphoria an hour after taking. "


"I started it about 2 weeks ago. I'm already on 6mg. I can say without a doubt this is my favorite medicine I've been on. It helps so much where it is needed. I have an addiction problem. this medicine works with your dopamine level which generally makes you happier if you truly are not happy and helps you to NOT USE. I haven't felt this good since I was a kid. I had no side affects after the first 3 days."


"Started having debilitating (not able to take my head from under the pillow and nausea/vomiting) migraines after having my daughter.  I get about 4-6 a month, most of them are menstrual migraines, but I was lucky to find imitrex soon after I started having migraines.  I used to take injectable or nasal spray, but have been on 10mg tabs for a few years now. Nothing else but Imetrex works and it works for me every time. I am not a fan of the side effects at all, which are muscle tension mostly in jaw and neck, as well as feeling drained for several hours after. I will take it over the horrible migraines any day though."


"Although I had some really crazy side effects, I highly recommend Chantix to those who are serious about wanting to quit.  I have taken Chantix for 3 weeks and am smoke free. I took before and quit but I took myself off and started back up once I was around smokers.  Now I will definitely take it for 3 months.  The side effects were the worst part. I had the very vivid dreams.  Some good but most of them were very very strange. Other side effects I had were nausea but that is only when I am around smoke right now.  And the last side effect I have is depression.  I notice that due to the other side effects I seem to be having more depression which I need to seriously take into consideration as to why and not really worry about it."


"I had a severely bad experience with BHP for 6 months , tried all kind of medications recommended by the doctors , Urinating was a painful experience and even had blood drops because I was severely straining myself to urinate . After  reading the reviews of others I tried Cialis 5 mg daily and within 4 days there was ease in my symptoms and was able to urinate easily and relief from pain . Even the night time frequency of urinating stopped and was able to sleep better the whole night . This Cialis is a God sent solution . Excellent results ."


"Getting the Implanon was the worst decision i ever made!!!! I had it in for 3 months and gained a rediculous amount of weight and never had a period. After 3 months I went back to my gp and asked him to take it out, thats was 7 years ago. To this day I'll be lucky to get my period once a year and lasting only 2-4 days."


"This products does not help me at all .Do not buy it waste of money it just makes you tired"


"Was on Apri for 9 months.  No major issues while taking it until 3 weeks ago when I was diagnosed with a massive pulmonary embolism.  Testing was performed and the root cause pointed towards Apri.  Many articles online linking Apri (3rd generation) to PE's.  Do your research before taking this pill, wish I did!"


"I've only been on Elmiron for 7 weeks. But I did notice a decrease in symptoms (pain is my only real symptom) by week 3. Now I am in week 7 and I am almost pain free most of the time. I don't stray too far from the diet yet but I do notice I can get away with more foods. I'd give it a 10/10 but I'm not sure how it will work in the future. Doctors say that the sooner you start taking it after symptoms present and the more mild your disease the faster it works and the more beneficial it is. My Interstitial Cystitis was considered mild and I was diagnosed within 1 month of symptom onset. I hope it continues to work. I take 400 mg a day."


"I started taking bupropion 150mg once a day 35 days ago but after 20 days, had to pause my treatment because of a possible allergy. Started again 10 days ago after speaking to my doctor and no allergy this time around. I do get a few side effects like dizziness and itching but the doctor says it's okay. I noticed that yesterday I only smoked 7 cigarettes and today, so far 1. I didn't crave it when I woke up and forgot to smoke completely for a good 4 hours. I'm planning to quit tomorrow. It's taken a bit longer because I'm only taking 150mg once a day but I now feel ready to quit and not at all anxious about it."


"I have suffered from Anxiety and Panic attacks since my 20's sporadically. Now in my 40's recurrence has significantly increased due to a series of personal events to a point that I was starting to be afraid of being alone.  I was hesitant to initiate medication but 3 weeks into it I feel the best I have felt in a long time. The first two weeks are tough, with nausea, dizzyness and headaches but it is worth it."


"Periactin helps control my migraines which are almost daily.  I would probably do better if I were able to remember to take it 4 times a day instead of morning and evening."


"Was using 7.5 mg. of Meloxicam when after a period of about 3 years it began to not prevent the arthritic pain and swelling that I had in my shoulders and ankles. My rheumatologist placed me on 75 mg. of Diclofenac and one day later all symptoms subsided."


"I'm basically a very hard sell when it comes to taking ANY medicines, but pain is a great motivator. Oral NSAIDs have given me some minor distress in the past. A friend turned me on to Voltaren Gel . I used it on my knees, neck, and lower back. This is as close to a miracle as I have experienced in my 50  years of arthritis producing activities.

The best part is that dosing is applied directly and only to the problem areas so consequently much less ends up in your system overall than if taken orally.

Win. Win."


"Great. I have been on it for ten years. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 at 25 y/o and it took me about 1.5 yrs before a psychiatrist recommend this. They also had me on depakote which can cause liver damage. Later I removed the depakote. When life continued became more stressful (getting my master's and starting a family) I  had anxiety start and begun Paxil. I am now trying to stop paxil."


"I've suffered from Interstitial Cystitis since I was about 13 (now 29) I wasn't diagnosed until about 3 years ago up till then doctors always tried saying it was UTIs but every urine test always came back negative. Since I was 13 I've always had azo pills on me. They are my savior ..  they taste horrible but work with in 10 to 15 minutes after taking. Only thing is now I'm worrying about taking them so much due to just recently after taking them I had blood in my urine and severe nausea and chills"


"Caused hair loss."


"Just started Belviq on March 22, 2017. I have experienced a slight headache but no other problems with the medication.  I look forward to posting as I continue my weight loss journey."


"Xanax has been a great thing for me. I was very scared to take it in the beginning because I had no idea how I was going to feel but it really calmed me down after two weeks of thinking I was going crazy or dying. I had never experienced anything like this before but I had to get a blood transfusion for my anemia and all hell broke through. My doctor gave me 0.025 and I only take 1/4 of that I Break it in 4's I don't want to go to sleep just take the edge off so my advice to anyone that has to take this even if you have a higher dose just take 1/4 of it until you see how it will respond to your body I hope I could be a help to someone."


"After gaining around 70 pounds during the pregnancy of my daughter regular diet and exercise just weren't cutting it. I've never taken diet pills before this but in just 6 days I've lost 7 1/2 pounds.
I do get the dry mouth side effects, slight headaches & funky vision here and there but it's working wonders! I know the weight loss will slow down but I'd like to lose another 40."


"I've been on Pristiq for two weeks.  I've noticed a remarkable change in my energy level, mood and am no longer isolating myself.  I am also more focused. I've lost weight on this medicine and had a dry mouth in the beginning.  It does curb my appetite and after two weeks lost 8 pounds.  I seem to be eating smaller portions.  This medicine is definitely a wonder drug for me."


"I really like Solodyn. So far its gotten rid of my acne the only thing that I don't like is that when you stop taking it you start to break out a lot, but so far no really bad reactions just dizziness and vertigo but that's why I was recommended to take it before bed, it helps."


"Great and also losing the weight from the previous medicines I was on. Love it."


"Very effective, but.....
1st dose at 6pm day before colonoscopy.  Uncomfortable abdominal distension by 7pm, Nausea by 8pm. Movements did not start until 11:30pm and lasted all night (every 30 minutes or so) until time for second dose at 4:45am.
My daily beverage of choice is water (+/-64oz) however, it would be great to drink just the bottle and not have to mix it with so much water (32oz)
Exhausting, nasty and gross in more ways than one, but totally worth it considering it can save your life.
** pharmacy advised not covered by insurance so doctors office gave me a complete sample for free! **"


"I started taking contrave 1/7/16 . Weighing 204lbs  and am 5" 1. I just had a baby 12-13-14 & been eating so much after. Since I started been feeling a bit tired for some reason, no headaches, I can't concentrate on anything almost as if I have no thoughts and at times feel sad all of a sudden, had mild cramps n been having more soft stools often its nothing too bad. I weighed myself today on my 5th day and I weight 199.2 so I have lost 5 lbs . I have been eating less twice a day and 2 snacks before I'd snack a lot n eat 3 to 4 full meals. I'm surprise to lose a pound a day not sure how because I don't exercise at all. I actually don't feel motivated to do anything. Its weird. Its just been about 5 days let's see how things go."


"I liked the packaging; glad they are undercutting Gillead on price.  Someone needed to.  Small size, easy to swallow.  Side effects were mild for the most part.  A little hard to tell for me because of another concurrent ailment.  Helps to stay hydrated."


"I've been taking Brintellix for 2 months. I've been on several other antidepressants: Wellbutrin, Effexor, Viibryd, and Pristique. Brintellix is the only medication that has sustainably improved my mood without causing fogginess or terrible side effects. My concentration has improved, my energy is consistent, my anxiety and agitation are greatly reduced, and I'm happy. The first month I was very tired. Sleeping about 10-11 hours a night and still having trouble getting up in the morning. This has passed and I'm back to a normal sleeping schedule and energy level. I experience nausea from certain foods/drinks. For example, coffee. Other side effects I'm experiencing are constipation and weight gain. The pros still greatly outweigh the cons."


"I've tried yet. So don't know. But wondering are the reviews true or just made up."


"I've tried a lot of meds for my compulsive/obsessive tendencies and Abilify is the only one that seems to work."


"I read all these insertion horror stories, and it truly was not that bad. It barely hurt (maybe a 4 or 5 on the pain scale) and I cramped mildly after, then slept it off. I will say ever since I've gotten it I cramped everyday since, nothing severe but I have gotten into a habit of knowing to carry midol or ibuprofen around. I do randomly and I mean RANDOMLY spot, sometimes heavy sometimes light sometimes nothing at all, but prior to having the skyla inserted I did take 3 plan bs in the two months prior so that might also be to blame. Overall, for a month of spotting and mild cramping for years of no babies? I'll take it. "


"Works well but very costly"


"This medicine worked wonders for my restless legs syndrome, and also aches and pains associated with fibromyalgia and moderate low back pain. However, the withdrawal effects are awful (panic, insomnia, paranoia the worst). I even sought a second medical opinion on how to deal with it better and was told to just go back to my usual dose.  I was taking 1200mg/day, and ended up tapering down gradually over 7 weeks. One other thing: this medicine interacts with numerous other medicines, so check this for your own situation and make your own informed decision."


"I was diagnosed after I had my 2nd daughter (after a year of trying to treat what we thought was PPD which saw me declined faster and faster). Although, I've had a feeling something "wasn't quite right" since my late teens/early twenties.
Once we figured out what we are actually dealing with, I went through   several medications  (including lithium). They had such severe side affects that they were cancelling out any good they could of possibly been doing for me.. that is until I found carbemezapeme. It took me about 6mo-1yr to really figure out the correct dose, but with the help of some great Dr's and therapist (and THAT really is the key, it can't just be about meds, good Dr's and the right meds go hand in hand) we figured it out."


"I have been on mirtazapine for about three weeks now as I have GAD, it has worked fine until recently, the last few nights, I was thinking about increasing it to 30mg see if that helps, but doctor mentioned that it works better when taking 15mg ? Any advice would be great thanks in advance"


"Duloxetine is the generic to Cymbalta. Insurance will not cover the miracle drug Cymbalta which I used to use for chronic  pain and depression until CDPHP dropped it from coverage. Duloxetine has severe side effects and will make you grow man boobs. The manufacture of Duloxetine says it might happen, but they don't care nor does CDPHP  because its too hard to prove it. I've been on it only for 2 years because CDPHP drop Cymbalta which I've been on since entering the market with other so-so  anti-depression meds for chronic pain from a broken neck."


"I started using Duac and within 8-10 days my face was completely clear of acne however when I came back to use it, it wasn't as effective as the first time."


"I was severely injured in 2008. My L34 was snapped by a mental pt. at the state hospital I worked at for 27 yrs. It was christmas eve in the am. First I was on VIC'S, then the doc (he meant well), put me on OXY 5mgs. In between I was prescribed MORPHINE to try. Then we tried METHADONE. Then I was introduced to HEAVEN. Pure 20mg. OXYCONTIN tabs. I'll never forget the first morning I took the dose he prescribed 2 tabs every 6 hours.By the time I had a couple of cups of coffee, and got out of the shower I was "ROCKIN AND A ROLLIN" I was ready to go to work!!!!!!! 4yrs. later the party was over. He said NO more, he refered me to a methadone  clinic. I had to retire. The clonidine helps a bit. But I was given Tramadol,it's the answer!!"


"My doctor put me on Amaryl & it quickly lowered my readings.

My problem is that I have a SULFA allergy & now I'm broken out in a HORRIBLE RASH & the doc doesn't think it might be the Amaryl."


"I have struggled with severe constipation (IBS-C) for years.  NOTHING worked... fiber, laxatives, Rex meds. Linzess worked TOO well and painfully. I can't leave the house after taking this.  I read on one reviewers post to try Nopalina... I thought, why not, I've tried everything else.  It definitely helped.  I take Nopalina capsules everyday as directed, and drink LOTS of water and sometimes add Miralax to my routine (if needed). Changed my life!!!"


"This medication has helped me with my battle with infertility. With it, I have had two successful pregnancies, though with minimal side effects. So much happy to become a parent after six years of infertility. It had also helped me with a benign tumor in my brain, and I think I'm a normal woman now. I was initially placed on half the tablet a day but later increased to 1 and 1/2 a day, with series of blood tests and MRI scans. It really helped and I'm still using it with routine checkups."


"I stated taking Saxenda Sept 3rd, I have lost 22 lbs as of Nov 3rd. Not only did this amazing medicine work, but I noticed it also increased my Libido more than ever. So far I have had none of the side effects that we might endure. "


"I started taking this pill from July 2013 to Dec 2014. Had absolutely no problems with it. Helped me regulate my period, which was awesome. Got off the pill, 4 months later, boom!.. pregnant lol. But I'm back at it, once again. I truly like this pill."


"PLEASE PLEASE FIX THE TASTE!!!!! It was quite effective for its intended purpose. It cost me $83 with my insurance. Getting it down was awful. I gagged, choked and threw some back up. I hppe there is something more palatable next time around. I had pills last time - would have preferred them to this prep. PS: it's been 3 full days since my colonoscopy and I still have diarrhea, gas and nausea. Trying to find out why. Had to leave work because of it all today."


"I have used this pill off and on for the past 9 years. I have to say it's the BEST pill for losing weight and the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me. I gain at least 60-70 pounds with each pregnancy, so each time I have a child, I have a MASSIVE amount of weight to lose, and each time I take the pill, I go right back down to my size 4 within 4-5 months ( no exercise). My tips, after taking it so long are the following: ALWAYS take way before breakfast--take the first thing in the morning, and if you really want to get results, don't eat any carbs for breakfast. NEVER go from taking one a day to stopping, because you WILL gain it back. You must wean yourself off SLOWLY and you'll be fine. "


"My doctor initially had me taking Loestrin just like a regular pill, to help keep my horrendously painful periods a little shorter and more predictable. However, with endometriosis, even a 4 day period was too much for me. I would be doubled over in pain. It hurt to walk around, sit and forget about even doing anything else. It got to the point I was so terrified of getting my period that I had to do something. So my doctor decided to keep me on Loestrin, but told me to skip the placebo pills and just keep taking the pills continuously. Pro: I have not had a period in months and I am so thankful. Cons: my breasts are constantly heavy and sore, and my nipples sometimes hurt to touch. Small price to pay for endometriosis relief, though."


"I love this birth control! I've tried several others (Lo Loestrin, etc.), but this product has been remarkably consistent for me with few, if any, side effects. Occasionally if I miss a pill by more than a few hours I might have some spotting, and on the first day I take the pill I sometimes have a slight headache and find myself a little moodier, but honestly, compared to the other products, which have given me acne, mood swings, nausea, and other problems, I would take the few mild symptoms from this product in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!"


"My 15 year old daughter started on this 2.5 weeks ago. Week 1 we saw no change. Week 2 the acne was significantly worse (the medicine paper warns that this may happen). As soon as week 3 started, like magic her face started to clear. We are happy with the results and hopeful for continued improvement."


"I'm a 52/year old heterosexual female. Infected with HIV late 2015. . Diagnosed 2-27-17. Viral load 76,000 and CD count 221... After 1 month viral load 86 and CD count 309. No side effects at all. Take every day 11:30 with a meal. I'm very happy and pleased with Genvoya."


"I started using epiduo apx 3 weeks ago with very little advice from the GP. I suffer with breakouts and really sore lumps under the skin across my jaw line and neck. Anyway after a about 2 weeks of using the cream the skin around my eyes and jaw was so red and sore I thought I was having some sort of reaction. I was trying to moisturise as the skin was literally flaking off my face but the stinging was unbearable. After reading this forum I started using cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser and my skin is no longer sore and is clearing up brilliantly.
advice - use cetaphil cleanser and moisturise before applying a tiny amount of epiduo, I don't wear makeup in the day so I take my moisturiser with me and top up around lunch time. Bear with it!"


"I had my first panic attacks immediately following the birth of my first son 18 years ago when I was 28 years old.  The panic attacks were horrific and occurred randomly. I was prescribed a few different medications that weren't successful, but when I was prescribed Imipramine, I felt I had my life back. I doubt that I could have continued to be a primary school teacher without Imipramine.  It has really been a miracle medication to me.  When doctors hear that I take Imipramine, they usually comment that it is a really old drug that has been around since the 60's. Then they ask if I'd like to try one of the newer drugs.  No way!  I feel perfect on Imipramine. I can't say enough great things about it."


"I read all these reviews and decided to try it thinking it might work but I was wrong. Do. Not. Take it. First of all it barely helped my cough at all, some tea and honey could've done better than this. In fact I think my cough got even worse. That part that was most upsetting was when I woke up feeling nauseous. I ignored it and next day took it again and I got EXTREMELY light headed, just crazy dizzy. And then I got the diarrhea afterwards....I just felt confused and out of it. This medicine is absolute trash and I don't recommend taking it at all. I usually don't even write reviews either so that should tell you something. 18f"


"Denavir is truly the best cure for cold sores. Heals fast and stops pain on contact. I love it!"


"Claravis is a miracle.  Sure, it ravaged my body for 5 months (very dry skin, sore body), but now my skin is clear. My skin is like that of a Japanese geisha woman and I am a dude! The other reviewers that said it gets rid of blackheads they never knew they even had are all correct! Seriously, my acne cysts used to hurt and now I am pain free."


"The medication was far superior and hopefully safer than using Percocet. The issue is continuous relief for several torn/ruptured discs. Surgical intervention is not guaranteed to resolve my problem. Pain level is 5-6 continuous and takes over your life. So what to do. Many personal issues to consider but in the end I realized that until a solution if found I don't have a lot of options here. Went to a shrink and others and finally accepted status at this time. Never drink, take as directed, and trust yourself. Never, never, fall into the trap of changing the dosing from the prescribed format."


"I would not recommend this birth control. I am 21 and have been on many birth controls in the past. Ever since I started it I have been having extreme anxiety, depression, OCD and loss of appetite. I feel sick 24/7. I can't even go out to eat anymore because food is unappetizing and scents bother me. This birth control has made me want to be constantly isolated and alone, I have no want to do schoolwork which is unusual for me, and I will lay in bed all day and stare at my ceiling. I feel like my life is fake and I'm watching myself from the outside. I have no sex drive, and if I do I immediately dry up which makes it difficult. It is not worth the emotional burden it will cause you. Gives me a very light 3 day period which is the only plus"


"I'm 20 years old and have mild to moderate breakouts that I've tried to fix with Epiduo and other topical creams. None of these creams seem to make a difference in my acne. I started using Atralin and Acanya about 2 weeks ago. At first my skin broke out horribly as I was told it would, the initial breakout period was pretty bad. I'm just about 2 weeks into using both of these products and my face is already clearing! My skin feels different and my blackheads and chin acne have started to disappear. My skin is a little sensitive and dry but the Cerave moisturizer and wash that my dermatologist recommended definitely help. I'm very happy with the results from this product so far."


"I was on and happy using SEROQUEL for sleep and was highly skeptical about trying GABA. I tried many other medicines to combat insomnia and they all proved not to work. I was pleasantly surprised how GABA worked. It helps keep me in very deep sleep for 6 hours. After that I wake up, but can easily get to sleep. The dreams are very vivid, but not unpleasant. I had to tweak my dosage however. I'm now at 1200 mg at night and sleep with total ease. Full disclosure, my insomnia has roots in anxiety, so this medicine proved to be effective because it helps with Anxiety too. I'm happy!"


"I personally hate it ! I got it in 05/27/15 and I will be getting it taken out 06/26/15 . I've been bleeding the whole time, in which my Dr never informed me this would happen ."


"I had my first screening colonoscopy with propofol. I was out within a few seconds of administration of it. I woke up after 30 minutes with no side effects. I was up and around within an hour and I had normal meal after. I did feel usually "high" or happy afterward, I don't know if it was the propofol or the good results of the colonoscopy."


"I have been breaking out terribly since as long as I can remember. The amount of medications and creams I have been prescribed are not even countable. My dermatologist prescribed me epiduo after I changed insurance companies and I figured the stuff would work because of the price. It took a couple months before it really started to work but my skin is so clear. During those few first months I hated the stuff because I broke out even more and my skin was dry, but I kept using it because the doctor said with epiduo, your skin does get worse before it gets better. I love my skin now and I highly recommend it!"
