"I had cysitic acne that would pop up mainly around my chin and sometimes my cheeks. I've been to many dermatologists and have tried so many solutions. I've tried Proactiv, Acayna cream, and antibiotics, but nothing seemed to show a significant improvement. Once I was prescribed Tretinoin Cream, 0.025%, I was truly skeptical as to how much it would improve my scarring and acne. Now, after about only 3 and a half weeks of using it, I couldn't be more pleased. My scars have significantly faded, I have 0 pimples. My face looks amazing. I can literally walk around without makeup. I don't remember the last time I could do that! I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who has bad scarring, or acne."


"Since I have started on this medication, I have felt very few cravings to drink. It is great as a deterrent, so I have not even bothered to test any reaction to drinking.  The thought crossed my mind just to try, but the thought of being horribly Ill just to see if I would be didn't seem like the brightest idea!  Anyway, my main reason for posting this is to say that unlike many of these posts, I have suffered some side effects.  I've struggled a little with sexual performance and have had some rash and acne issues.  I will visit the doctor to see what can be done about these because I don't want to stop this medication.  It works great. I am forty two and have been abusing alcohol for at least twenty years or so.  Almost seven weeks clean!"


"It's amazing how this drug works on the brain to stop cough.  It's the only thing that works for me when I get a chronic cough."


"Hey ladies. I was using orthotricyclin for about 2 or 3 years. I absolutely LOVED it.  Before birth control my periods used to be really heavy and sometimes I'd go 2 or 3 months with out one (Which is super scary if you're sexually active). On tricyclin my period started on the morning after I took the 3rd green pill every month. It was perfect. The new pharmacy I started going to didn't carry tricyclin, only trinessa. I was hesitant since my body was already used to the other birth control so I took about a year off. Just recently I started trinessa. On the first month, my period was normal. My depression and anxiety are MUCH better than when I wasn't using BC. On my second month now and everything is great! Can't tell a difference from orthotricyclin!"


"I had a severe reaction to the Levaquin antibiotic (Levaquin toxicity) and it took 4.5-years to regain physical strength. I was working again, then my dentist prescribed methylprednisone (for numbness after dental surgery) and within 4-days I began relapsing into severe muscle weakness. I fainted multiple times driving, had temporary blindness in one eye and have had to stop working due to continued muscle weakness."


"I was just diagnosed with BV and am now on my 2nd day of meds. Day 1 I felt nauseous and had some headaches, but neither were unbearable. This morning I feel almost as if I'm getting a UTI because its a little uncomfortable to pee and I have the urge to go frequently. I'm hoping this will go away once I'm done with my dosages (2 pills/day). Pills taste a little funky, but like I said nothing unbearable. I may try the cream next time around!"


"I was given Vistaril for anxiety, to be used "as needed" for my panic/anxiety attacks, and for me, it did nothing but make me a little sleepy. I know most anti-panic drugs are sedatives, but those generally do more than make you tired. This one just made me tired and freaked out."


"The OBGYN explained exactly how he was going to do it, and talked me through the whole process! I was so so nervous when I got to the office and he calmed me down and the whole process took maybe 10 minutes at the most. Pain wise: It was literally like a bad cramp for a few seconds and done. I'm taking the rest of the day to watch movies and have chocolate, my lower back is a little achey and I'm cramping, but that's it. I'd 100% recommend it."


"UPDATE: Returned to Doctor for first appointment since starting Byetta. Lost 20 pounds and my A1C has dropped from 6.6 to 5.7. No nausea."


"I had been suffering from acne since puberty that progressively got worse as I aged. After trying every product on the shelves and still having no relief from the very painful acne around my chin. My dermatologist recommended this product and my skin has never been better. I will admit it took 3-6 weeks before I really noticed any changes but sticking to this product has not only treated all of my acne it also helped with the scarring. I have even stopped wearing foundation all together and receive many compliments on my complexion. My regimen is to wash and moisturize my face twice daily and apply the product nightly."


"I have been using Restasis for about 4 months and really have noticed a huge improvement. It doesn't burn at all. "


"I first had my first one inserted in 2008 shortly after having my first and only child. I had minimal side effects. My period stopped until about a year out from the removal date and became light and irregular with months inbetween so it wasn't really a problem. I had bad acne growing up but my skin cleared. I never have had much of a sex drive to begin with so I don't know how much of an effect the implanon had on that side of things. Same goes in regards to depression. My appetite did increase a large amount and there has been gradual weight gain over the 7 years of use. The removal of my 3rd one had complications due to it moving deeper into my arm so I have decided to give it a break now and see what happens to my body without one."


"A few hours after the first dose my arm muscles started burning like I just lifted a bunch of weights and my neck was hurting on one side but I think it was because I was so tense and worried about taking it. These symptoms lasted for about two or three more doses than went away. Took my last pill today and the only other side effects I had were headache and lightheadedness and my heart would beat faster every now and then."


"I've been taking these tablets for a little over a year now. I have two young children and an older child that has left home. I work 4 days a week in accounts and have a pretty busy life.
I suffer with chronic osteoarthritis and have many different problems with my lower back and spine. The pain all came to a head when I suddenly couldn't get out of bed. I spent many weeks suffering taking a cocktail of prescribed drugs... Eg morphine. Tramadol, naproxen to name a few.
My friend suggested I took palexia. I was at the end of my tether at 38 I was almost bed bound!!
I currently take 200mg morning and evening with an added 100mg in the evening around tea time. I have got my life back. Don't write these amazing results off - it worked for me."


"Horrible jitters, severe agitation, irritable, sleeplessness, thoughts wandered, and dizziness after one dose."


"After I had my child I soon started to cry, be angry all the time, felt bored of life, nothing excited me. So I was suggested to take Citalopram, it started to work within 3 weeks I only got headaches and a little bit of diarrhea. Then I finally felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel my anxiety and panic attacks also went away nearly a year I have to decided I want another child so I am slowly ( with doctors permission ) coming off so far a little cloudy some days but so far so good. Trying to stay positive. Depression can be fixed with the right treatment speak up."


"I wouldn't even give this medication a 1 if I had a choice. I had my first DVT at 16 yrs old and just suffered another one at 21 years old a few months ago. I was prescribed the Xarelto pill and, 3 weeks later, suffered such severe internal bleeding as well as hemorrhaging externally that I almost bled to death. Luckily, the doctors performed 3 emergency surgeries that saved my life. I wouldn't recommend this medication to any females since I have yet to hear a bad case happening with males (but I could be wrong)."


"I've been taking the HERB (not a drug) St. John's Wort for 18 years. I find it very helpful for moderate depression, and so do millions of people in the U.S., and especially Europe. In fact, in most countries in Europe, it is recommended 8 to 1 over Prozac. "


"So far I have no complaints.  Easy in easy out. I take mine out befor getting busy ;-)but thats just me. No side effects yet. I am breastfeeding a 9 week old and havent seen or felt it decrease my supply or put baby off nursing which is a huge plus for me. I have forgot to put it in within 3 hours but since Im still breastfeeding exclusivly Im not to concerened. Id definatly say try it out. You have total control and dont have to think about it another BIG plus for me, I dont have time to rember BC till its to late.  ;-)"


"The first week of taking the pill I felt very nauseous. By the second week I was extremely moody. I'm towards the end of my third week and so far so good. I don't have any more nausea or moody swings. I feel like my sex drive has stayed the same. Although, there is a problem I don't know if it's the pills or my period, but I noticed I have broke out a little more than usual. I'm hoping this will go away after starting my second pack."


"I've been on Fentanyl patches (100 mcg) for a decade with Methadose for breakthrough. The Methadose was discontinued when our state legislature decided they'd place a cap on the daily dose for opioids. Fentanyl was nothing short of miraculous for spinal pain, but it didn't touch the pain in my bones. My physician added Nucynta recently. I had serious doubts, but I discover the Nucynta worked. Something nothing else had done. I had to fight to for MONTHS get it approved (covered). Eventually, it was approved. But only for a year. We'll be forced to fight it out once more next Spring. :(

No side effects at all!"


"Ok average  guy late 40 s. My testosterone  levels  had dropped  to a man twice my age for no reason.  Started  off with 1 cc testosterone  nothing.  Dr prescribed  viagra not much . Then switched  me to the  ed dex shot to penis talk about  mixed results  it differed  every time

After 2 trips to the  e r for the over 4 hour errection which  hurts like the  devil i learned to use a filter  needle  at home. I thought  this was my plight.  I tried everything  and i mean everything.  This actually  works ! Little  to no side effects  and keeps  working  a few day's  later for me. This is my experience.  If the price was cheaper  would give it a 10. Since your urologist  can fill generic  viagra  in office  now  so use that in a pinch."


"I purchased Systane Ultra by Alcon a couple of days ago. It did not help my dry and red eyes. I made my eyes itch worse than ever, they were really red too. It might have something to do with the preservative used, I don't know for sure. I went back to using Oculac by Alcon instead, it seems it has the same manufacturer but it is cheaper and a little thinner."


"I have not had any serious side effects (that I am aware of) but I have had 0 weight loss even though I am on a very strict diet of no bread, or sugar.  I also have not seen any decrease in my appetite, it may have increased it.  It seems to me it has also had minimal effect on my blood sugar.  I don't think I am a fan."


"This is the greatest drug yet invented. I had no idea what happiness was until Lexapro came into my mouth! I cannot even begin to imagine life without this medicine. Once the mild side effects had gone my life changed forever. My sex drive and orgasm is now incredible! Depression was banished and life full of colours and insight and love and passion is my soul filled realm. God only knows what will happen if it stops working as I have tried every other antidepressant medicine available and Lexapro is it."


"Make sure Bactrim is actually the correct medication for your UTI! I took Bactrim for 4 days with no relief before my doctor's office got the results back from my UA and realized that Bactrim is resistant to the bacteria causing my UTI. Now I am taking Cipro and it seems to be doing the trick. I did not have any side effects with Bactrim though, it just didn't work for me."


"Best nasal spray"


"Began taking Forxiga 10 mg/day in October 2015.  With determination of drinking 8 glasses of water a day, exercising 3 times a week (one hour) and eating more protein and salads at dinner I have lost 40lbs.  This medication is great but never fool yourself that medication on its own can make you loose weight."


"I used Suprep to prepare for a colonoscopy. I was worried after reading other reviews, because I have a super weak stomach (the smell of wet cat food makes me vomit). The suprep tastes terrible, but I combined other tips and was able to keep it down with no issues. I chilled the Suprep overnight, and mixed it with Ginger Ale. I had lemon slices ready, and licked them between sips. I used a straw, which helped a bit. I also chewed Big Red gum in between. I divided the prep into three cups, but poured so the first cup had the most, the second about 2/3 the first cup amount and the last cup only about 1/3 the first cup amount. This really helped mentally for me. I was able to complete the prep and the doc said my prep was "pristine""


"I have only just begun taking Viibryd, and after one pill I already notice a difference, love it, My doctor has always directed me to take my anti-depressants at night for one of the biggest side effects is drowsiness. I did have a little bit of a hard time falling asleep, I was taking 200mg Zoloft for about 2 yrs and it just pooped out. I haven't had any side effects yet. I'm very hopeful of this antidepressant. Although I did have one side effect my  muscles feel like I ran a country mile. I'm hoping this gets better as I adjust to taking higher doses."


"I've been taking this for a few weeks and I think I've already gained 10 pounds because I am hungry 100% of the time.

I've had insomnia for all 20 years of my life and have yet to find a medication that makes me sleep till this one, and on the 50 mg dose. That would be amazing if it did not make me sleep for the rest of the day too. It shuts me down to the point where it is harder than normal to breathe.

I've been staying with it in hopes that I would improve but all I've noticed is that I am more irritated by even the smallest things."


"Been on this for over 1 month.  AF still happening nearly everyday.  May last for 36 hours.  I don't think it does any good.  I'll see doctor in 12 days.  Hope he has something else to try."


"I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 6 years ago. I had/have mild symptoms. I began taking Avonex immediately and have had no significant change in symptoms. I take 1 Aleve an hour before my injection. I chose the last night of my work week so I can't dread "the day."  I rotate my injection-left thigh, left hip, right hip, right thigh. I think this will help avoid irritation, though I've never had a problem anyway. My husband gives me my shot so I don't have to look at the needle. I also cough because someone told me you can't tense other muscles during a cough. I relax, and he injects the needle on my second cough. Many times I don't feel a thing. When I do it's minimal. Hip shots are the easiest. I always make sure the Avonex is at room temperature."


"My miracle pill! I am 22 and my starting weight was 235lbs. Obviously not a good number. I've have tried every gimmick over the past three years since I had my son and nothing has worked. My mother and aunt both had great results, so I finally convinced my doctor to let me try this. Within my first week I had lost 7lbs, which was more than predicted by my doctor. The following two weeks I lost another 6lbs. it may not be much, but for me its amazing since I haven't been able to lose a single pound in the past three years. No side effects yet(knock on wood), however it really does suppress your appetite. I'm not one to force myself to eat; so I did have one day where my blood sugar dropped very low because I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat for about 9 hrs."


"I've been taking this for eight months, It has it pros and cons just like every other medicine! the pro is it clears your skin up beautifully, I get compliments all the time about how clear my skin is.  It amazing when it comes to getting your period I used to have severe cramps I could never go to work, now when I get it I don't even realize i have it. But the cons is I feel super nauseous right after I take it for a couple hours to the verge where I wanna puke and the last eight months it's made me gain  10 pounds."


"This works even better if you get a dose of it in your system before you begin your trip."


"After trying every single birth control besides the depo shot and the iud I decided to give the shot a chance. Worst idea of my life. Iv been on it for 8 months and I can't wait to never get my next shot. As soon as I got my first shot I noticed my appetite  increase. I was never full, I could eat all day. After I ate breakfast I couldn't wait for lunch. All I wanted to do was eat and sleep all day. I called my doc and she said to give it 3 months. After 3 months I was depressed I hated my life and I couldn't stop eating. 6 months in I gained 21 pounds. I didn't want to wake up ever. I couldn't wait to get home and go to sleep after work. All I keep thinking about is suicide. I will never go on this birth control again."


"On a single dose of of a half tablet of 10mg tadalafil I get a woody hard unnatural ,not very sensitive erection in a few minutes. The sex is OK just after,but for the next coming weeks for up to 2months my erections without tadalafil are mind blowing and totally natural. It works like a primer for me."


"The birth control kept me from getting pregnant so on that subject it worked great.  But, I had 3 severe side effects that really affected my quality of life.  I was exhausted all of the time, no energy ever (after I stopped taking it within 1 week I had energy again). I had intense headaches everyday within an hour of taking this medicine, and I was very emotional.  One moment nice next moment sad, then mean. It has been a month since I took this birth control and I fell like me again!!"


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar II when I was 15 years old and have used only cannabis since then to deal with it, but after years of cannabis abuse my symptoms started to become uncontrollable, I needed to smoke 2-3 grams of weed a day just to stay physically calm, and even then I had a lot of internal anxiety and no motivation. I could never quit smoking because if I did I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't sit still, and couldn't feel any joy. I would always relapse if I quit. I started Seroquel a week ago, and haven't had any weed since: I can eat normally, sleep 6-7 hours a night, and feel relatively happy. Plus I have literally no side effects as far as I can tell. I haven't felt this good in years; It's all uphill from here!"


"I have been on 1MG of Klonopin, twice a day, for about six months now to help with panic attacks and anxiety.  The drug has worked wonders for me.  It seems to work within an hour after taking it.  I feel like a whole new person now.  There is no feeling of unnecessary anxiety like I felt before.  Prior to taking this drug, I would get terrible anxiety for no apparent reason.  I was at the point where I was avoiding people and when I did get the courage to go out in a social setting, it was a constant fight to just feel comfortable.  Klonopin has literally destroyed those feelings.  When I first started taking it, I tested it out by putting myself in various social settings.  Not even a remote feeling of anxiety.  Thank you Klonopin. "


"Flexeril does not really take away my pain, but it helps me relax and sleep. If you take too much, it will cause confusion."


"Yeast infections, moodiness, depression and numbness in fingers were my side effects.   Not to mention the insertion and removal of the implant.  Just not a good drug FOR ME overall."


"I feel awful! I have been on this drug for 6 weeks! I have so many side effects

1. Very tired ( no  Energy)

2. Nausea

3. Headache

4. Can't sleep ( even if I take a sleeping)

5 Always feel Hot

6. Sweating

7. Clammy skin (have to the fan on on all the time)

I live in Canada so it not that hot.

Never felt so sick."


"Worked well for me. Lost 7 pounds in one month with no exercise. Haven't gained it back either."


"I have been on this pill for about a week now. I was put on it to regulate my hormone levels because I was passing out a lot on my periods and when I would ovulate. I am not sexually active. I can just say that this week that I've been on it I've been kinda miserable. The nausea is horrible. I get it especially in the morning or in the middle of the night. It has been giving me horrible headaches and I used to be pretty moody but that was nothing compared to now. I'm constantly irritated and it takes nothing to make me furious. I'm gonna stick it out for about 2 months because my doctor said that's when the side effects should stop. If they don't then I will switch to something else."


"I experience severe social and generalised anxiety. I was given 25mg of Atarax to take twice a day. I didn't feel it relieved my anxiety symptoms. It made me very sleepy. When I awoke in the morning I felt very groggy, constant yawning and didn't feel I could pay attention or properly, function at my job or get housework/errands done. I personally do not find Atarax helpful for anxiety."


"I've been using this for about 3 years now. This is probably the first product I've ever used that resulted in clearer skin, both on my face and my body. I went from having at least 5-7 big red pimples at all times, often more when I was on my period, to having clear skin with maybe a few small blemishes most of the time. It took a few months before I noticed it was actually working. Everything was great until 2 months ago, I now have acne just as bad, if not worse, than ever before (face and back). I still use Benzaclin but it's had absolutely no effect, which is extremely disappointing. Back to square one I guess."


"Was affective , but was the worst thing I've done to my self . Gained 30 pounds , mood swings like crazy , many other reactions that the doctors swore wasn't because of it. I've had it out for three months and I finally feel normal again!"


"I have been taking Humira for about 3 years now and it has worked amazingly well.  For active lifestyle patients such as myself, I would highly encourage you to ask your physician about using Humira before any other biologic.  The at home/take with you injections cause absolutely no disruption in my lifestyle or travel schedules."


"I had Implanon for 2 years and at first it was great. I never had a period and I surely didn't get pregnant. So for that I liked Implanon. But the side effect where not worth it. I ended up gaining weight which is something I can deal with but I started to get really bad headaches and it started affecting my vision and my daily activities. I was tired all the time I slept for 15 hrs a day. I couldn't function at all and it started to take a toll on my family and kids. They wanted their mommy and I just couldn't be there like I should have. I just took it out last week and I feel like a new person. I haven't had a headache. I feel so active and I can now live."


"I'm on month three following insertion. The first month I had no period or spotting :) The second month I had spotting that lasted 9 days, then had my period for 9 days, this was heavier & longer in duration for me than pre implant. Pre implant I would have my period ever 21 days and it would last for 4 days. Other than the aforementioned I have had no other side effects to date. I'll keep you informed if there are any changes. I hope you found this review helpful. xx"


"I was on Adderall XR 20 mg for about 6 months, and then developed hives.  Could've been the bottle, could've been a delayed reaction (sulfa allergies).  I don't know, but it was perfect until then. Decreased appetite, yes, but that's not negative as far as I'm concerned.  Doc switched me to Vyvanse XR, and I can tell you that while you will focus, it's not as focused as when on Adderall (at least for me).  Decreased appetite but nothing like with Adderall.  I've also been on Evekeo (10 mg) tablet.  I've only tried that once, and while it will definitely stimulate you (closer to Adderall), I find there's really not hyper focus.  Just a lot of movement and staying awake.  If you haven't tried it yet, I would go with Adderall XR first."


"Took this for a YI. I wasn't even burning from the infection itself, but the cream has made me feel like I went for a ride on Satan's crotch and then my vagina was dipped in the lake of eternal fire. The burning is so awful. I wish I had never used this product. This is torture. Even my abdomen is cramping. I read that can be a side affect, but my goodness, this is crazy.  I am never using this product again."


"Switching from Yaz to NuvaRing was a BIG MISTAKE.  I had been on Yaz for 3 and a half years and switched to NuvaRing because I kept forgetting to take my pill.  Granted, my experience with Yaz was not the best (breakthrough bleeding a lot), but upon using NuvaRing, my face broke out, I gained weight and I had constant cramps.  Also, it seemed to never stay far enough up my vagina and felt very uncomfortable during sex.  I thought it was going to be great, but it was not.  Switched back to Bayer and am now on BeYaz and love it!"


"Been on trulicity for a little over a year. A1c has gone from 6.8 to 5.4 and weight from 288 to 240. The only complaint is the constant feeling of being full. It definitely affects  your appetite and if you do overeat you feel sick. I'm in the process of tapering off of this drug for something with less side effects. Hopefully a small dose of metformin within a year."


"sad that I'm seeing so many negative reviews! I've been on this stuff about 5 years now and it's the only thing that helps my acne! I don't think I'll ever stop using epiduo. it's changed my life, I now have confidence I never had. people would always say "she's pretty but she has so much acne" to me in high school. everyone teased me. now my skin is clear and I love it! only rated a 9/10 because this doesn't help with scars. but it keeps the acne away so I'm not complaining!"


"I got my skyla IUD inserted in January 2017. It’s October 2017 now. I liked it for 7 months until now. I will have to say the insertion was absolutely horrible that was about 10/10 pain. It is the closest to ever feeling like giving birth. I’ve never felt anything more painful in my life. After insertion, I was bleeding for around 2 months straight. It officially calmed down and I had light periods like usual per month. Now at 7 months in, I have periods now that last for two weeks long on/off and painful cramps. Every time after I have sex, I run to the bathroom and I wipe tons of blood. I was 150 pounds when it was inserted, now I’m 177pounds. I am freaking out for weight gain, it has been convenient, no maintenance, and I’m not pregnant."


"Alongside anxiety, I have painful sphincter of oddi dysfunction.
After trying Bentyl with limited success, I decided to give this a try, since I also had some anxiety issues.
My biliary pain disappeared from multiple attacks per week to none!
While this may not currently be indicated for the purpose described above, this has some major promise in the management of IBS and biliary dyskenisia if visceral hypersensitivity is suspected.

No anxiety, increased energy, concentration and motivation w/o losing libido (undoubtedly being due to its partial agonism of the 5HT1A receptor, downstream dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex and minor norpinepherine and dopanine reuptake inhibition in addition to SRI activity)

This is a life changer!"


"I,ve been taking citalopram for 2 years after experiencing total burnout and depression. Started on 20mg then up to 40mg and finally began to feel better, tried to ween it down to 10mg but didn't work. So on 20 mg and feel good and if it means taking a pill everyday for the rest of my life - as long as I never go back to that dark place I will keep taking them. Side effects sweating on my face, tremor in hands and weight gain."


"I am a 45 year old female and have had mild to moderate anxiety for most of my adult life.  I lived with it for years and tried different medications on and off when my level of anxiety increased.  I also tried yoga, meditation, exercise and counselling.  A year ago, a new doctor prescribed 100mg Zoloft 1x/day.  It took about a month for me to feel a difference, but Zoloft has given me the most "normal" feeling of any drug I ever tried.  I do not have sexual side effects, as I did with other antidepressants nor do I feel numb or sleepy throughout the day.  I have gained some weight (15 pounds) over the past year, but I can't really attribute it just to Zoloft."


"I started this medication 2 weeks ago for OA.  After 1 week on the med I experienced nausea, vomiting and diarrhea with stomach cramping. After 4 days off this med I am still experience some cramping and stomach upset.  I will not take this med again."


"Have had toenail fungal infection for years. Was recently prescribed Terbinafine. 3 month script. Been taking for a month so far. Have noticed the associated scaliness on my underfoot has subsided and has gotten smoother with less dryness and cracking. Two more months to go! No noticeable side effects, besides a slightly acidic taste in my mouth like reflux, but I'm not sure if this is from the pills or not, just mentioning it... Not life altering in any case."


"When I started xulane, I had many reactions. I experienced severe mood swings, and Xulane increased my depression and anxiety. I also experienced redness and itching at application site, which stopped happening about a month later. I experience nausea, headaches, and severe cramping during times of suspected ovulation. My breasts increased in size and veins are more prominent. They are also more tender. Sex drive has also decreased. My period comes at expected time and sometimes last 4 days-6. All in all, I like the idea of not having to remember an oral contraceptive everyday! I change it three times a month and the fourth week I leave it off. All forms of birth control have there weak points, but I think xulane works for me."


"Cymbalta does indeed work. Most who have given it a fair shake know the results and it is seen by reading the comments here. Most people who quit using Cymbalta never gave it a "real" chance of working properly. For most people, Cymbalta starts working quickly, but some may take 2-3 weeks or more to get the full effect.

"


"I was prescribed this following a Bactrim DS prescription that was causing me problems.  I did not have any real issues with Cephalexin but it did not clear up my Paronychia infection as I had hoped.  I would take this again as it was gentle and no side effects at all."


"I've been on oxycontin for a few weeks and this medicine is amazing. It totally kills all my pain and gives me energy. I can have a normal life because of it. "


"I have been taking Belviq for 2 months I love it.  I did have a headache for weeks and felt tired and slept.  I weighed 226lbs and now 210lbs only thing you have to make yourself eat but you will fill full quickly."


"Tremors seem to be getting worse. I take 2 a day. Just turned 70. Have had tremors for many years.

Maybe I should ask my doctor is there is something else for me to try."


"Basically the only medication that works for me to combat the infections that arise from Darier's disease (a genetic skin disease)."


"I've had this birth control for about 4 months now and I hate it because my period lasts for 2 weeks to a month! When I first got it I had my period for 3 weeks. I was going thru so many mood swings and I thought it was from my post partum and lately I've been really annoyed with anything and everyone, the second month my period lasted about 2 weeks the third month I got it twice ! Now I'm in my fourth month and I had my period from 4/18/17 til today 5/12/17 & its so heavy!! I just want to stop the bleeding! I should've just tied my tubes ! "


"I take this medicine once a day when I have back pain or stiff neck, it works great, helps reduce the pain immediately. Very effective drug."


"This is the first day where I actually used this product and it works absolutely wonderfully! My armpits haven't sweated at all which makes me really joyful, and I just tried it on my sweaty feet and that stopped sweating also and I'm going to try it on my sweaty hands later but I'm sure it's going to work. This product is amazing."


"On September 30 my doc put me on the 30mg. At first I didn't want to eat while I was on it because It just took away all my desire to eat. Well I found out that in order for me to loose the weight I had to eat even if it was just snacking  throughout the day. So I started snacking and then eating a small meal in the evening and I began to notice when I did this that my energy level was much higher. Well I went back to my doc today and it has been a month on the medicine I have lost 15lbs, from 319 to 320 the best thing is even though that may not seem like a lot, I have went down one pant size and shirt size. So my doctor was very pleased with my loss and we decided to go up to the 37.5 mg. So Hopefully I will continue to drop much more"


"Best med ever for bladder infections. I thought I'd never leave the house but after the first dose I felt better in 4 hours. After the 2nd dose I feel almost back to normal. I've taken this med a LOT in my life with no side effects. Take it with food and plenty of water if you can."


"I have been suffering from chronic sore throats for over a year and have had a horrible time with ups and downs of feeling well and then suddenly sick to the point where I had to miss work, like death.  Doctors kept telling me "oh it's just a virus and will pass".  It always came back.  Finally my doctor tried a shot of Rocephin  and it started to work within a couple HOURS.  I still felt sick the next day and had to miss work and wound up in ER the following evening due to extreme migraine  headache, high BP, nausea but I think it was from the doxycycline that was also given to me to take orally.  Was a VERY rough night.  But the next day I felt 100% better and I've been feeling so much healthier since.  Like a miracle!"


"Was on low dose (10mg) as my blood pressure is on the lower side but had pretty much no effect on my anxiety, just made me lightheaded, cold and gave me stiff fingers. Have found one use for it though- when my heart pounds at night with my insomnia propranolol certainly slows it down."


"I started Saxenda with the dose of 0.6 on July 20 with 191 lbs my hight 5.1ft, 50 + yrs old, I never had nausea, once I had a light headache, I have less appetite and 0 creaving for sweet or salty food, now a week later I weigh 184 lbs, today I increased dose to 1.2 according to my Dr.' prescription, I am eating more protein, walking 30+ minutes and drinking more water. I feel Fantastic! "


"I have been taking 200 mg of Seroquel now for about 4 years for schizoaffective disorder.  I love this medicine, especially after trying Abilify and Risperdal, which made me lethargic and apathetic towards everything.  It has also helped with my borderline personality and generalized anxiety disorders."


"I had a bowel  obstruction  from using lasix, and not drinking  enough  water. I was  admitted  for surgery  scheduled  the next morning. But before the surgery I did use three small bottles under dr. Supervision in hospital, and my bowel obstruction miraculously  untested! Today, four years later I am constipated from vicodin. I used miralax today...And my pains went away and I was able to go."


"I took it for fibromyalgia for 4 weeks. Had loss of memory, dizziness and fainting. Weened myself off with the help of my doctor. Withdrawals were horrible. Headaches, slurred speech, loss of memory, heart racing and palpitations, trouble breathing and dizziness. It lasted nearly 8 month. It was the worst time in my life. I'm happy for those that can tolerate the side effects and are successful on this medication. This is just my story."


"Started smoking when I was 16 years old. Since taking Chantix for about 3 months I haven't smoked at all. The first week I cut down from a pack a day to maybe 7 a day. Since then I have not smoked at all. Chantix worked great for me. Sometimes it makes me sick to my stomach after I take it. And I have had very weird vivid dreams. But I will take the side effects over smoking!"


"I took plan b late July because like everyone, accidents happen.. A couple days later, I started to bleed (first a brown-reddish discharge, then it turned like a period) for a couple of days. It worried me because my period wasn't supposed to come until two weeks.. After the two weeks come, I missed my regular period.. I took about 4-5 pregnancy test, ALL negative. I began feeling my breasts become very heavy and I started to cramp and sure enough, I thought I was pregnant. I began a parsley regime to try to induce my period, but it did not work. I recounted the days I'm supposed to have my period, starting with the first time I bled, and my period came right on time after that!
Overall it works, you just need to be patient!"


"I have only been on Qsymia for 4 days but I have lost 5 pounds. I am very short and after menopause I fluffed out I mean really. I have exercised and dieted for over a year with only loosing 10 pounds I really researched this before taking because I already have tachycardia however my doctor recommended due to high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I felt foolish first couple of days not so bad now. Have had insomnia hope that goes away soon. Hope to have continued weight loss. Will keep updated. No increased heart rate as of yet."


"I have been taking Effexor 300mg for 2 years, and it has saved my life. I didn't care if I died prior to taking it. I never get sleepy or tired, and I can concentrate much better than I used too. My depression is gone."


"I've had psoriasis for 35 years and  arthritis for perhaps 30.  For about 9 years I took Enbrel and methotrexate with very good results.  Despite my long-term success with this combo, about 6 months ago I decided to replace Enbrel with Otezla, primarily because I wanted to decrease my use of immunosuppressants and because of the cancer risks associated with Enbrel.   For the first 2-3 weeks I had the expected side effects, the worst being having to move my bowels 5-6 times a day.  Also some headaches.  Now, six months in, I think I am ready to go back to Enbrel.   My scalp psoriasis used to be almost non-existent but is now getting bad.  Same for my elbows/forearms.  I also have many aches and pains that I've never had before...."


"Terrible pain in hip and shoulder, two hours after first 60 mg dose completely pain free. Everywhere in my body.  Side effects started immediately, severe anxiety, dry mouth, could not sleep, paranoia.  By day five severe rectal bleeding from being constipated.  Doctor lowered the dose still had side effects.  I stopped the meds pain is all back with a vengeance 24 hours after last dose.  Side effects scary as hell"


"I haven't used an over the counter medicine for a yeast infection in years. If I've ever gotten them in the past, my doctor has prescribed something, but I don't usually get them. I didn't want to make a visit to the doctor and so I tried Monistat 7. I remember this medicine hurting like CRAZY years ago but I thought I'd try it again since it's been so long. I wish I could go back in time!!!! On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst pain-burning-itching, I was at a 10 after inserting the medicine, and I'm just now at a 7 or 8, 18 minutes later. This kills!!!!! I will not be taking the other doses, and I will make an app't with my doctor for a pill to cure this. I don't know what to do to get rid of the intense burning."


"For 18 years, panic attacks ruled my life. I went through more than a few psychologists, worked on issues that weren't even issues and finally, my doctor prescribed Klonopin. I cannot tell you the difference in my life. I went from agoraphobia to being free in a very short time. I drive, fly, walk and go where I want to. It's a genetic condition. I have siblings with panic disorder as well. I take 1mg Klonopin 3 X a day. This medication allowed me to have the life I deserved."


"I have only taken one 30 mg pill and the nausea is horrible. I'm not sure about continuing with it."


"This is one of the nastiest drugs i taken for bp. It gave me major depression,major anxiety,restlessness, and major mood swings. I wouldnt recommend this drug to my worse enemy."


"Male, 53, regular exercise, healthy diet. Started losartan (Cozaar) 2 weeks ago due to high blood pressure. Dropped the blood pressure first day, but still is high - before taking BP was 160's / 110's , now it's 140's / 90's.Noticed frequent urination - like every 15 minutes. I canceled an international vacation because of this. Then came the anxiety at night. Never had anxiety this bad - ever. Finding myself locking the doors, checking to make sure they are locked multiple times. Slight confusion and short term memory problems. Yesterday bought a $1500 large screen tv that I really did not need and does not even fit on our tv stand. Numbness in one thumb. Dizziness - almost fell backwards off of stool at restaurant. Giving it one more week"


"I'm from the UK, I start saxenda on 19th May. So just over a week. I increased the dose from 0.6 to 1.2 on Friday. Previously had no side effects, but now finding I'm waking in the morning with nausea and heartburn, and all I've had is water. Only lost 4.4lbs in just over a week. Feel like it's not working. I have found that my mouth is constantly dry, always drink water. Has anyone else had anything similar?"


"Have been  Bipolar since 89. I have been on Depakote for 9 years, 500 mg x 3. I went from 210lbs to 304lbs. I have been on just about everything over the years. A little bit lethargic, but this seems to have stabilized me the best."


"I'm 17 years old, I was on the pill at first but I got off because I was ALWAYS moody! So I got on Depo so far it's been okay, but since I've been on it my face has started peeling. I'm always putting lotion on my face."


"I rate Nexplanon a 10/10 for birth control. I had it put in April 2016 and had it taken out October 2016 and never got pregnant....BUT I never knew when I was going to start my period and it gradually kept getting longer and was lasting 3 weeks so I had it taken out. I know it works differently for everyone. I was happy not to get pregnant but couldn't wait to get it out bc I couldn't control my periods with it in my body... plus it causes emotional changes and I cried all of the time.  It has been out for 6 weeks and I haven't had a period."


"I have suffered from clinical depression for years. I barely have enough energy to get out of bed. My house is a mess and so am I. My MD put me on 75 mg of Nuvigil and the effects were amazing and instant. The only side effect I had was a mild headache and sleeplessness which both went away after a few days. I am gradually getting more energy and feeling more optimistic. I can see why the Caphalon is investigating this drug for treatment of depression by the FDA. My biggest problem is the cost, as I have no insurance. I can't pay 1/3 of my income each month for a pill. I qualify for the patient assistance program, so will try that. Otherwise I don't know what to do, as the MD has only given me perhaps a month of samples."


"I've been on Xanax for a little over a year and it really helps with my anxiety and depression. However, I tried to stop taking it cold turkey a few months back. . .bad idea. I had the most horrifying withdrawals ever. I thought I was going to die. So now I'm back on it, but I've developed a tolerance and an addiction, which scares me. As with most of the other reviews, I agree that it is a great drug when taken correctly. Just don't ever suddenly stop taking it. Taper off slowly."


"I was given clonazepam  after my husband passed away to be able to sleep. It didn't help much so my Dr added half of a tablet. I took the 1.5 tablet  which didn't help either. I am at a loss. I already take 2 types of antidepressants. I also hate these drugs that are supposed to help. I'm going to wean myself off of all of these drugs. I can't wait to be see if I feel normal, I hope."


"I got my IUD in March 2017. So far its been 3 months and I really like it. The only down side is my period is longer about 2 more days than usual so a total of a week long. I start with spotting and finish spotting and cramping. And now the new thing is I have bad mid stomach pain that hurts when I walk and I get diarrhea on the 3rd or 4th day of  my period which is really annoying. But as soon as I'm done with my period I'm back to normal.
I had a bad experience with birthcontrol pills so I rather deal with bad period symptoms than with cystic acne and being depressed most of the time. Hopefully the periods get better soon."


"I started taking this medication three weeks ago and it works great for morning sickness but they don't tell you the risks they say it is safe for both you and the baby yet I started having severe chest and back pain and had blood work done over and over and they told me I was fine but I hadn't had a bowel movement in almost two weeks and I was in so much pain I couldn't get out of bed......but i found out it was the reason for all my problems, restless sleep, chest pain, back pain, not being able to stand or take care of my children it was not worth the pain and the suffering and imagine what you baby is going through if your in all that pain. There is a reason it was off the market for 30 years."


"I've been on the ring for several months. I really like it: it's easy to insert, it's simple to take out and it's very comfortable. My skin in very clear-it could be from the ring. Very happy with it. I've had sex a few times with it inside. My partner is well endowed and didn't feel it at all. I don't plan on taking it out during sex. The only complaints I have is that it made me a little irritable at the beginning and the hormones have increased my appetite. Right now I am in the process of leaving it in continuously so that's I don't get anemia. I have awful PMDD and also have a tendency to become anemic. Can't wait to never get it again. I've tried a bunch of birth control pills: horrible side effects. Love the ring!"


"I was  told to take this drug for 2 decades. It never worked. I had severe hypothyroid symptoms from it. I switched to Armour Thyroid 2 years ago and all symptoms are now gone. Armour is a much better solution for low thyroid."


"Definitely helps."


"I have had this in for a little over a month I was concerned after reading the reviews but I'm glad I decided to go with this particular product. The downside to this particular birth control was after implementation my cycle was one week late. The upside is my cycles have been shorter and lighter ."


"I started taking Prozac about a month ago for anxiety and depression. I had been in therapy for about 8 months prior to this for the same reasons. I had made several lifestyle changes before trying Prozac. I quit smoking, drinking caffeine and alcohol, and started exercising more. None of this was helping my anxiety (main problem). My anxiety was especially bad during my menstrual cycle, so I talked to my Dr. and he prescribed Prozac. I waited 2 months to take it because I had never taken an AD before and was scared. But once I did I was so glad! Prozac has honestly changed my life for the better. I believe I was much more depressed than I realized before taking it and my anxiety has completely disappeared."


"I can't say enough positive things about YAZ. I was previously on Tilia (Estrostep) and recently switched. In only 3 weeks, my face has almost totally cleared up and my skin looks overall so much better. I seem to also have lost a little weight which is always a plus. The only one negative thing I can say is I am a little more tired in the mornings but it's not too bad. I would recommend this product a million times over."


"I would like to make a comment about Accolate.  After several different medicines years ago, this was the one that kept my asthma under control.  Over the years the price has continued to rise even with my insurance.  This past year it went up to a point I had to give it up.  It has been a nightmare ever since.  Through trial and error my doctor and I have come up with a satisfactory medicine, but nothing will ever compare to the Accolate.  I continue to wait for a generic version to come out.  I hope it is soon.  Ever since discontinuing the use of it, I have acquired bronchitis more than once.  I never used to get it."


"I am prescribed Adderall XRs. I am only on 30 mg once a day and my Dr won't increase it. The medication definitely makes me motivated, have energy, and feel a nice since of well-being. I am concerned with a few side effects I get almost every time. I get numb on the left side of my neck and in my shoulder. I also get really cold feet and my toes look purple with very slow capillary refill. I also already had a sleep problem before all this, so my nights are always pretty restless."


"The worst medicine I've ever taken.  I took two pills the first time and woke up to terrible cramps and had a BM not only that morning but every time I went to the bathroom afterward but more like diarrhea with terrible cramps all day.  I decided try just one pill a few days later and is having the same side affects . The cramps are soo bad I feel nauseous and nothing is working to stop them"


"I have used Provigil for about 6 years for daytime sleepiness/fatigue. About 2 weeks ago I began taking Nuvigil instead. The effect is definitely longer-lasting by several hours, and initially it seemed more potent yet "cleaner" in terms of side effects than Provigil. However, more recently when I've taken it after a night of poor sleep I've had to increase the dose and I get a lot of tension headaches, as with Provigil. 150 mg lasted all day at first, now I've had to take a little more. Still, I'd rate it an improvement over Provigil - how much so, time will tell."


"My daughter is now nine and has been on Dexedrine for about four and a half years. I know about the med from my little brother and it worked for him. My daughters doctors wanted to try all the new stuff, not one worked so once again i said put her on dexedrine. Finaily after about a year they put her on it and she is doing great and on a low dose. So if you have tried the others go old school and use dexedrine it works:)"


"I had gout for 20 years and allergic to Allopurinol. Overall my gout has been poorly managed. Last year I had back to back debilitating attacks. Radically changed diet with zero effect over many months. Researched BP meds and was taken off Ramipril. Immediate reduction in flare ups but UA still 10 to 17. After going onto 80mg Febuxostat UA was 4.5 within 4 days. Took Colchicine during 4 months. As predicted had flare ups when starting as UA came out of joints. With the worst ever gout attack. Now all is fantastic and taken up exercise again. My arthritic knees even seem better. Don't know if this is coincidence. Fortunately in UK this medicine is free on national health."


"I've been on Lexapro for 2 years. Just recently switched to Effexor and Klonopin. Lexapro never really did much for me. At first, after the 2-week adjustment to the medicine which was hell, I thought it worked. But it may have just been placebo more than the medicine. Had multiple serious near life-changing anxiety attacks while on Lexapro which is why I switched. I couldn't be happier for switching. If you have anxiety, don't waste your time with an SSRI. Also, I've stopped taking lexapro multiple times. It's not too hard, you get aggravated at everything for a few days, the brain shocks aren't nearly as bad as people say they are."


"Inserting and retrieving the nuva ring takes some getting used to but after a few tries, you'll get the hang of it. The side effects, however, were so overwhelming I stopped using the nuva ring after 2 months.  The positives were I didn't have to think about it everyday and normally I have acne but on nuva ring I didn't experience break outs. The negatives were my mood. I was irritable, depressed and cranky after about a week on the ring. Generally I'm mild tempered,  sweet and forgiving. Not on nuva ring. I was overly emotional; crying, yelling, grumpy, annoyed. It was affecting my quality of life so I removed it. I've been off of it for over a week now and feel like my goofy playful self again.  I'll never go back. Its not worth it."


"Used twice daily for six months, NOTHING!"


"I am 40 and active but have had hip bursitis for about 7 months.
I started taking prednisone due to a flare up of poison ivy. On the second day I had a 70% improvement on my hip and on day 3 90%. Huge surprise !!
I started at 30mg and am down to 15 mg now and will keep tapering off to zero in about 5 days"


"Amrix is good for muscle cramps. It reduces pain from a 10 to a 7 for me. That is a big deal for me. I am 24/7 in pain. No medicine can reduce that pain below a 5."


"I found teratoll very helpful I take I  conjunction with mertazapine and it has really changed my life I have many lifetime issues that will never go away but with this combination of drugs I feel my condition is under  control  now I take 400 milligrams per day of slow release with my dose of mertazapine and I only get angry now like a normal person get irrational only in extreme  circumstances but generally I can function fine"


"In a cocktail of anticonvulsants, this non-neuroleptic antipsychotic is great in stabilizing mixed manic symptoms and the depressive side. It took me one month to bear the side-effects but now it's ok. Better than all the antipsychotics I tried before that gave me unbearable tiredness or tremors/jerkiness."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"Stage 2 Invasive Breast Cancer. 6 rounds of FEC & T. IgE levels>5000. Highly allergic always. Neupogen ordered by my Oncologoist to be administered 24 hrs after chemo but his nurse did not communicate this to me. Day 14 I spiked 103 temp at 3 a.m.,surgical site was red and inflamed. Not understanding the severity of this, I took 2 Tylenol and went to sleep. Awakening Sunday a.m. with 102.5,; my Onco Surgeon sent me to the ER. Stat blood counts indicated  neutropenia and celluitis. <500 white cells. I.V. antibiotics/ 5 days of Neupogen saved my life. Bones will ache, so whine or take pain meds. Get the shot; it does save lives. "


"Prozac was not the medicine for me. I was put on Prozac for depression. I actually began to feel worse when I took it. I also developed a bad case of OCD taking Prozac to the point that I plucked my eyebrows completely off. I also felt very anxious all the time and scared. So my doctor took me off Prozac and switched me to Lexapro and it did wonders. I am a lot happier and confident now. I no longer have OCD and my eyebrows have since grown back. My advice to people who are not seeing results with Prozac is to switch to Lexapro. I wish I would have long ago. I haven't been this happy in years."


"I am so thrown off at how many positive reviews I have seen on this stuff, however I must have an insane Ph balance (causes amphetamines to become ineffective), but I do not see how it is possible to take the highest dose they provide and not even feel nothing... like I have not taken anything at all.... The other night I got so tired that I fell asleep without warning!"


"I get flushing Every time I take this medicine. I was diagnosed March 2013 and this is the only thing I have been on.  I SUCK at taking the pills and on the weekend I almost ALWAYS forget my morning dose, I pay for it every Monday with increased Flushing and incredible itching.  I have not been on an injectable yet and this medication has the best statistics, minus the new PML concept which was NOT a thing when I started taking it.  But once every two weeks HAS to be better than twice a day.  But for now I will stick to it because I have not had a full relapse since I was diagnosed."


"I have had insomnia since I recovered from an Adderall addiction, then used alcohol to self-medicate.  Not sleeping makes me frantic.  My psychiatrist prescribed Seroquel 150 mg, which I have been using for 3 years and it works perfectly.  Takes effect in less than an hour, during which I read quietly in bed, and I have no issues in the morning, nor have I experienced any hunger.  Like others have said, without it I do not sleep, so I have to make sure it is always available.  I have had no need or desire to increase the dose."


"I took Amoxicillin twice, for an ear ache and for a tooth ache. Helped both times. No side effects as I took a big load of probiotics (heavy dosing at least every 2 hours...I even took some probiotics at the same time as the antibiotics...counterproductive as antibiotics kill probiotics but it put my mind at ease knowing that I was constantly replenishing the good bacteria in my body even if some of them were getting killed off). I take probiotics and other meds regularly (digestive enzymes, omega 3's, vitamins A-E, etc.) so I've had no problem rebounding from the potential long term effects of antibiotics. Even though I absolutely hate antibiotics, it's the only thing that worked for me with these two conditions."


"I have been on Implanon for almost two years now, I was put on it after I had my daughter. My experience hasn't been great, my periods the first year started with a long period that I had for a month straight then no period for a year. But now going into my second year I have had a period every other week and I am currently on a three week stretch of continued bleeding. I feel exhausted all the time. I have also experienced weight gain and its been even harder to lose the weight which has affected my moods. "


"I connect so much with "Frustrated Fenway Fan"'s post..I have almost disabling anxiety. I started having panic attacks at eleven years old.....I am now 33. The entire time I was treated with Xanax which I NEVER once abused...my former doctor abruptly stopped prescribing it to me because he caught wind that I had spent a year and a half fighting an opiate addiction, Suboxone saved my life...but although that is all in the past and I don't even take that medication anymore....it is on my medical history! Now.NO ONE will prescribe me any sort of benzodiazepine. I have just been prescribed Buspar. I pray it works. I just want my life back."


"Started Plaquenil 8 months ago-200mg 2x/day- to treat Psoriatic arthritis and sjogrens. Learned to NOT take it in the morning with my Meloxicam 15mg because of strong nausea. If I take one after a big lunch and one after dinner, I have no problems at all. Joints and hands, wrists are doing so much better. One worry is that I am too tired to do anything at all. If I do laundry, I sweat. If I cook dinner or rake the yard, I sweat. I seem to even have trouble sleeping on my side at night because of trouble getting enough air into my lungs. Weird, I know. I rated it an 8 because I do not feel sick after taking it and it does seem to work. The last but not least worry is heavy hair loss. I have thin and fine hair anyway, but it comes out like crazy"


"Was on for 4 months or so... It was ok. I didn't have any of the "common" side affects and my mood was good. My period was light with minimal cramps and PMS. But-- I lost my libido completely and felt that I gained more weight on my thighs (and cellulite) despite eating healthy and working out-- never had this problem previously. I am having the IUD Skyla put in tomorrow. My doctor said that this should be "it". Minastrin may work for other women but the no sex drive and Weight gain was enough for me to throw in the towel."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I recently had a colonoscopy and was directed to take Moviprep.  If you are on antidepressants or have a very sensitive stomach do not take this product.  I drank only half a litre and the effects were very negative.  Moviprep cleaned my stomach of everything including the anti depressant I am taking (Celexa).  My body went into withdrawal and I had a huge panic attack.  My doctor suggested I take Florastor to restore the good bacteria in my stomach which allowed my body to once again absorb Celexa and allow it to take effect.  After four days of taking Florastor the panic attacks stopped and so did the nausea."


"Sharing my experience on this medication because of how afraid I was to take it, in hopes that I can help someone in a similar situation. I have had diagnosed depression and anxiety for years and have tried all different medications to no avail until Lexapro which has helped the most with my depression, but never really touched my anxiety. The problem is that lately the Lexapro seemed to not be working as well despite dosage increases months back, and I had absolutely ZERO sex-drive, which was really affecting my relationship. I just started Wellbutrin (XR) and it has already proved life-changing in just a little over a WEEK. I feel SO much better. Way more motivation, energy & it's helped my anxiety which was unexpected! Good luck!"


"I've been take Atarax 50's 3x's daily PRN.. I also take Ativan.. but only if absolutely needed.. I have found that Atarax helps me emensely (sp).. It doesn't make me tired or groggy anymore.. It just calms me down when having some anxiety or feeling out of sorts with my mood.. It does a good job at leveling me out"


"I've had panic attacks for over 10 years I do not know what triggers them I don't know when they're going to occur but they do on a daily basis. The only medication that I ever had that truly worked was Xanax. This is the true panic disorder medication and should not be taken lightly because your body does become accustomed to it. Example after using it for a year I noticed I needed to increase my medication. I went from 0.25 mg milligrams 2.0 mg milligrams every 4 to 6 hours. Use wisely."


"I switched to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo after my insurance changed and Yaz became too expensive. I have been on Ortho Tri Cylen Lo for about 4 months and it has cleared up my acne and been completely effective as birth control. I was moody and anxious for the first 2 months but I feel like I am adjusting to the hormones! I did gain about 5 lbs, but have lost them with exercise and a healthy diet! I am 5'8, 125lbs. Hope this is helpful!"


" On April 29 I had unprotected sex , my partner and I were both really drunk and I wasn't sure if he pulled out in time I took plan b on May 1, then I had spotting May 11 but missed my period for about 7 weeks. I actually thought I was pregnant I took about 6 pregnancy test they all came back negative but I was still really scared today June 23 my period came and I couldn't be any happier I know it's hard but just relax ladies this pill really does work"


"I was taking FORXIGA for more then 3 months and my blood sugar after any meal was always around
180 -200. I was not happy, so I change doctor. She prescribed me JUNAMET, which I took for the first time this morning, after breakfast and my blood sugar is 126.

I'm happy."


"I had the worse experience with this Orencia medicine. I kept waiting for the six months that
they said it takes to work. In the process, I got worse than ever . It not only didn't work but made me worse. I was so mad that I waited so long  in vain. I will never try another medication that supposedly take that long to work."


"I have used this for a long time for my eczema and it has worked well."


"Started taking Victoza on March 25th weighing 318lbs.  Experienced mild side effects - loss of appetite, upset stomach, constipation.  I have now lost 30 lbs and this drug has drastically changed the way I eat and view food, and I no longer have any day to day side effects.  I am eating much less at meals, no snacking, and it has changed my cravings for junk food and sugar.  Most peculiar of all is the fact that I am unable to drink beer anymore!  I love beer, but after 1 my stomach turns inside out and I feel sick - not good for my love of beer, great for the health benefits of not drinking beer :)  I have hit a few plateaus but then the weight loss begins again.  I have gone down 2 pant sizes - this is a miracle drug for me!!"


"Wonderful birth control..I have been on the same birth control for 3.5 years now. I cannot fully remember the beginning of taking the birth control. It took a month or so to get adjusted. But after that everything is great. No pregnancy's, no bloating, no emotional freak outs, no depression, no painful periods but on the negative side my acne has stayed the same so it doesn't help much on acne. Also my previous birth control of sprintec made my breasts humongous and now that I am on this birth control my boobs have shrank a ton and almost don't feel or look as full as they were before ever being on birth control. BUT...I am an athlete and this birth control works really well...looking for a new birth control maybe to help with some acne."


"I have been on buprenorphine 8mg for almost a year in OCTOBER. My brother and I decided to get help together so we went to this drug dependency doctor. Everyone was great there and after a few months on these I could look at a roxy and not even have the urge to touch it. BUPRENORPHINE is great and if you really want help get help. Don't be embarrassed. You are not the only ones out there who have problems. I was taking 3 a day. Now I am down to 1 a day in less than a year. They taste nasty but its well worth it and they do cost a bit but look at it as the money you spend to buy your pills. Good luck to everyone."


"I love Gianvi! It has been effective with no side effects. My skin is clear, I have a sex drive, I didn't gain weight, and my periods are lighter. I can't say anything bad about this pill. Sadly have to quit it because my new insurance won't pay for it. "


"Good"


"I was diagnosed with HIV in May 2016. After taking Triumeq for 4 weeks, my CD4 count has gone from138 to 1054 and my viral load 673,000 and now 2280.... For me this has been a wonder drug. Absolutely no side affects to date.... I haven't felt this good in a long, long time :)"


"Just started  my harvoni on day 2. I take it at 8 pm. It made me sleepy. I slept really good.  Today for the first time I woke up at eight feeling like I wanted to get up. If this is how my experience is going  to be I'm excited.  I did drink a lot of water don't  want no headaches . So far it's cake"


"I broke out with hives all over my legs, back, and buttocks soon after starting this medication. Some of the hives looked like insect bites, a lot of them were bigger than a nickel, and some were a lot bigger than a quarter. The doctor told me to take Claritin which helped the hives, but then he increased the Lisinopril dosage and the hives broke out again like crazy. Doctor just prescribed a new medication, and the hives have stopped since I stopped taking Lisinopril."


"This drug has been a game changer for me. Previously I was maxxed out on Norco 10/325 (6 a day), and it barely touched my pain (herniated disk blew out, compressed my sciatic nerve, had emergency surgery to correct that because I'd lost function in my right leg and foot; foot works now, but left with chronic severe pain) and my ability to work or even to do regular housework was severely impacted.
Nucynta to the rescue! I started on 4x50mg/day, which was increased to 6 per day. After I was stable on that, I was switched to 2x100mg Nucynta ER per day, with 2x50mg Nucynta immediate release for breakthrough pain.
The first couple of days I was nauseated and a bit spacey, but soon those issues went away along with most of my pain. I love it!"


"I have had Mirena for a little over two years and had it inserted 4 weeks after having my only child. I had dealt with horrible cramps every month for my entire life, until Mirena. It is a blessing to not have cramps and to not have a period but maybe 3 times a year. However, this comes with a huge BUT for me. I have zero sex drive, have gained 20 pounds that I cannot lose to save my life, constantly have discharge, and bleed and hurt after intercourse. I've been thinking about getting it removed due to my husband being frustrated with my low drive, but to have those horrible cramps again makes me cringe. Tough situation that I would rather not be in."


"I've been using Zyclara for 7 days. I have loss of appetite, I've lost 5 lbs already. I feel a little nausea, fatigue, and pain and itching. All of which make me feel like hibernating, but I can't, I have to work! People are beginning to question the skin eruptions and weight loss. I hope this will be worth it. I've tried all other forms of removing basal and squamous from my body including Mohse surgery, but they always reappear over the scar tissue. I have not tried radiation. I hope that Zyclara is going to be the answer for me."


"Extremely itching, burning it literally made me cry. I hope I could return it to CVS horrible product."


"I started OE today, and I don't any signs or symptoms yet. It really doesn't feel like its there so I'm constantly touching my butt cheek to feel for the outline of the patch just making sure its still there lol. But I'll admit, I'm breaking the rules. I didn't start within 24 hrs of my period or 1st Sun after period starts. I'm a virgin but my period is late so I just started it anyways.

I'm hoping for the bigger chest and weight loss everyone seems to be boasting about lol

When I initially placed it onto my right butt cheek, i did feel some light, not really cramping, but more like sore muscle pulled something type of feeling on my right, lower back but it passed after about 20 min. It wasn't really anything noticeable."


"Having no periods every month is wonderful and all my pain from endometriosis has subsided. I feel wonderful, but did experience quite a bit of weight gain with this medication but in the long run it is worth it."


"Works like a charm. Love the sedation. Take it then eat a lot of food you will pass out fast."


"My husband has had severe rosacea all his life.  He was prescribed Oracea about three years ago.  Neither of us had any particular opinion of its efficacy until we had to interrupt his therapy for budgetary reasons.  While he was off Oracea, his condition flared and visibly worsened.  When we resumed his therapy we could see the improvements almost instantly!  Thank you, thank you!"


"I have been on Percocet 10 for several years. I was first put on 5/325 then upp'd to 10/325, after 8 years I went in to talk with the Doctor about being afraid of being addicted. I had suffered 4 tooth abscesses in April and found that my normal amount was not helping my acute pain.  was in tremendous pain until the antibiotics got the infection under control. No dentist would pull them. Worst week of my entire life and I've had children, hysterectomy you name it. So I talk to the Doctor about my concerns and she gets annoyed..very defensive. Yes Percocet 10 works great for pain, but be careful, don't take if you are not in severe pain, like me, when you do get in severe pain, they wont be able to get your pain under control. I was in misery."


"Hypercare is AMAZING! I have had an excessive sweating problem since high school. I always wear tank tops(never long sleeved or regular t-shirts). But if I have**** to, I will wear a black shirt. I swear constantly. Just the other day I was sitting in an orientation for work and the AC was broken and it was over 100 degrees in the room. I was sitting in a business suit and didn't even want to take my jacket off because I knew what was going on underneath. I had a waterfall of water falling from my arm pits onto my shirt. Huge armpit wet spots. So I sat there and suffered lol. Not anymore!!! This stuff really works. It definitely stings if you put it on the same day that you shaved, and it itches. But I don't even care! I'm in love with this"


"This drug saved my life. It eradicated my tumor and made it possible for me to have a much less extensive surgery than anticipated. I had very few side effects and the ones I did have were easily managed with medicine."


"Pleasant, eases you into sleep.  No strange heaviness."


"Stratterra is incredible. I began taking it in 5th grade, after Adderall and Ritalin both failed me. I heard from my doctor that Strattera works for a less percentage of people than stimulants (like Adderall and Ritalin), but if you have had trouble with stimulants, Stratterra is worth a try. I have generalized anxiety disorder, and both Adderall and Ritalin caused me to have spontaneous anxiety attacks. While Strattera does not treat my anxiety, it does not increase it. Strattera will NOT work automatically, like stimulants. It took about a month for my Strattera to work, and in that month I experienced a lot of nausea, drowsiness and headaches. I encourage you to ask your doctor about Strattera if nothing else has worked."


"I've suffered from SEVERE ANXIETY the last 8 yrs after my mom passed away when I was only 15. I was embarrassed to go to the doctors to even ask for help. I close myself from being around other people  because I don't want them to feel weird around me. I took 20 mg for the first time today of this medicine. I feel different..more relaxed..and more energized and settle. I hope it continues to work this good 4me. Its only my first day but I'm loving it already!"


"After 2 years of pain after my total knee replacement , I was prescribed every narcotic under the sun, would work for 1-2 weeks then back to pain. I finally went to a pain management doctor and he prescribed the 1.3 Flector patch. Within the first 30 mins experienced relief. I wear two of them one on either side of the knee. I have been on them for one month, I use them for about 10 hrs a day. The only bad side effect I have experienced is massive weight gain. About 15 lbs in only one month. It does warn you on the label about possible fast weight gain. I have always maintained my weight by give or take 5 lbs...but 15lbs in 1 month is absurd."


"Works great for me when I use it on a "per attack" basis. My Doctor put me on it 3 times a day and that will make it ineffective. I only take it when I feel my heart starting to race and within 5 to 10 minutes I am back to normal."


"After an escalating two year psychotic depression I finally sought help- I was suicidal and believed I was beyond help. Olanzapine eased the psychosis but the deep dark depression I was in was relentless. It took a year of finding the right fit, prozac and citalopram didn't help me at all. Finally I was put on Effexor at 225mg and have been on it for 3 months. It has made a massive difference in a short amount of time. Don't take as long as I did to find the right combo, I assumed these drugs were more or less the same so thought they just couldn't help me. Effexor saved the day, and with olanzapine, my life!"


"Doctor gave me this after frequent super painful UTIs and it works so fast! This is a great medication."


"I had suffered debilitating anxiety and depression for 4 years prior to going on this drug. My brain would not shut up. I would suffer just sitting there as my brain made me hyper aware of my own thoughts, feelings and anxiety. My head was a noisy mess. I couldn't relax. I was regularly very stressed for no reason. I would think about things that bothered me often. My relationships suffered.

This drug made my mind silent. This drug gave me my life back. It made me better. It took some time to work (about 8 weeks) but when it did it was amazing. The thing is when your sick like this you feel hopeless. It feels like nothing at all can make you better: that you are doomed. This drug can make you normal again!"


"Took a little while to start working but has cleared up well."


"No relief at all for my back pain."


"I have had the Mirena in for 1 week now. I have had mild cramping but everything is getting better. I have had light bleeding since the insertions, so far no problems. I am 21 years old and don't have any children. Previously, I had heavy bleeding and had to get a blood transfusion and had to stay in hospital because of it. So my doctor decided Mirena would be the best for me. My husband and I do want to have children in the near future so this type of birth control is great because you dont have to worry about it and you can take it out in 6 month to a year. Overall I haven't had this for very long but I'm liking it."


"I have been taking this birth control for about 4 years now and I love it! It was my first birth control which I had received free from Planned Parenthood. I have had literally no side effects and my period is perfectly regulated each month. I would recommend this to anyone. Since its low estrogen I did not see increased breast size or decreased acne."


"Was given 100mg doses to take twice a day for 7 days. I’m only on my 3rd day taking these and I’m beyond miserable. I wake up every night with unrelenting nausea, fever and cold sweats. The morning after my second day taking these I was admitted to the ER for the symptoms and was prescribed Pepcid antacid for all the excess stomach acids and zofran for the nausea. The Pepcid helps a lot, but the symptoms persist, like I cannot get a good nights sleep due to the fever and cold sweats and initial nausea. The zofran tastes so bad when dissolving that I cannot take it. Alternatively, I found that vaping or smoking small amounts of cannabis (1-2 small dabs or bowls) has helped calm the nausea enough for me to try and tough it out."


"I'm a 58 year old male having been on Lotrel 10-20mg for several years now.  I have not had any side effects, with this medication and have seen it is controlling my high blood pressure."


"At age 9 I was put on a low dose ( 2 MG if i remember correctly ) and continued to take take until i was 16 1/2 (almost 17) having had most of my problems figured out and looking at trying to live without it. over those years I went from 2 MG a day to 5 MG a day, and then at its worst 7 MG a day. almost 19 now (and after having to get medical help for not being able to hit puberty (unrelated, we checked)) I am looking at taking it again to help with the stress of the work environment. (as a side note; I have a weird middle ground of Asperger's and High functioning autisim)"


"I have wanted to die since I was in kindergarten. Perhaps longer. Now that I am college educated I know they call that "Major Depressive Disorder."

I fantasized about death every day, all day. I never understood why other people wanted to live. They perplexed me. The anxiety started when I was 25 and got worse, until I was breaking down in tears in public. Finally I saw a doctor and was diagnosed. She put me on Lexapro. No dice.

Next she put me on Buproprion 150mg twice daily. About 3 days later the anxiety was gone. One week later, for the first time in my life, I spent a whole day without thinking of ending my life. How does a drug delete a thought? I don't know, but it did. I'm much happier with a much drier mouth. lol!"


"I had acne for 5 years, saw many doctors and they all said nothing would help me and I would have acne for the rest of my life. I tried many creams, nothing worked. Then a dermatologist prescribed Duac and after about 3 weeks my skin was 100% clear. She told me to use a very thin layer at night and to use a heavy moisturiser in the morning to protect my skin. She also told me to stay out of the Sun at the time as your skin becomes thinner and more sensitive.
Yes, in the beginning my skin was red and dry, but that goes away after a few days. Thats how you know it's working. It's definitely worth a few days of irritated skin knowing you'll have perfect skin after.
Duac saved my skin. I'm forever grateful!!"


"Awesome. Very easy to tolerate and works great."


"Zyban did it for me.  Tried Chantix for a year and patches, too."


"My 3 years will be up Dec 2018. I have recently set an appointment to get it removed. Only because of the weight gain. Periods would last about a week and a half at times, or I won't see it for a month or so. My mood is pretty normal. I don't have headaches, nor have I had any problems (side effects) besides  the weight gain.

I would recommend the product. It does what it's supposed to."


Hyperlipoproteinemia Type III, Elevated beta-VLDL   IDL

"Just finding out that this medication may be a factor in causing insomnia.  This is something I am fighting tooth and nail."


"All I can say is Hallelujah!!!! God is so good, I got my skin back. I never had any skin problem until

my first pregnancy at 27. I  was not make up or any other cream user, but had the very clean face. Everyone, stops me and ask me what kind of make I use. But this became story after I gave birth to my first child. I have been struggling with it one day Dr. Simpson prescribed this cream for me. With in few days , the very brown spot on my nose went away. Good is so good!!!! Ladies with same problem, please give it try and hope you won't regret. May glory be to the Mighty LORD!!"


"Physician.  Relatively frequent flyer on red-eye flights.

25 mg doxylamine 15 min prior to boarding a red-eye flight cross country or trans-oceanic flights has allowed me to sleep soundly.  Works far better than my previous routine of 50 mg diphenhydarmine (benedryl) plus a glass of wine.

I recommend this without reservation to any who need to sleep on a flight of this kind.

Only down side is that many... including me... will tend to be somewhat sleepy on arrival, and over the next 8 hours after arrival.

$12 bought me a life-time supply.  This medication seems to me superior in this application to any other prescription or non-prescription medication.   Used occasionally on red-eye flights to get some good sleep."


"I took it for anxiety, panic disorder & depression. Made me suicidal."


"Ambien works. Not because it's a sleep aid but because it's a HYPNOTIC.  Which means if you don't want amnesia then get yourself straight to bed after taking it.  It kicks in in 5-10 mins and may or may not keep you asleep all night.

But those of you complaining of eating, etc and having no memory of what you did is very simple: taking a HYPNOTIC while you're still up and showering or whatever is going to make you do stupid things you won't remember. Just take it AFTER you lay down, turn off your phone, and you'll be fine."


"As a practitioner I have found Lysteda to be quite effective in the short term but many insurances do not cover it. In women who do not desire future childbearing and have a normal uterine shape (no huge fibroids) I have found office cryo (freezing) ablation to be as effective as hospital based electrosurgical or Heated fluid (hydrothermal). It takes about 20-30 minutes with simply a local anesthetic cervical injection and preprocedure Ibuprofen, Valium (5 mgs) and Percocet (one at home, one on arrival). The average patient pain assessment is 2-3/10 and 80% of women have no flow to what everyone else considers normal. Please ask your own practitioner about it.. It's called HerOption and I have no financial interest in the company"


"This was great while I was breastfeeding for about 5 months , didn't bleed at all. Only was a little moody... now I have stopped nursing and I haven't stopped bleeding since. :/ I don't know what to do at this point. I'm also getting bad cramps and horrible back pain. It's been about 2 1/2 weeks now. Plus I'm loosing hair like crazy"


"Amazing. I'm 45 years old average build no medical conditions to speak of but had low Testosterone due to major work drama and stress. That took away from being able to make us both happy when the time came, told my urologist I didn't think testosterone replacement theray was the answer because eventually the stress would settle and I would be stuck taking T shots the rest of my life. He gave me a 30 pack of 5mg daily Cialis and said give this a try. Took it the first time last night. Full stomach and even a couple drinks and 30 minutes later we were staring into each others eyes smiling.  Works better than I imagined and almost on demand. Since this works that well I won't take daily but as-needed. Thanks to all who suffered or studied to find this medicine."


"I read hundreds of reviews, talked to my doctor about belviq. He was very thorough with making sure I was healthy enough to take the med. I started day 1 yesterday (5/20/15). Within 2 hours my appetite was completely gone. I was extremely nauseous. I was expecting to be tired but not to the point of feeling so "drugged and intoxicated" that I couldn't even barely move with out the room spinning and vomiting. I had severe anxiety with this experience. I am not taking another dose. I will just be more self disciplined  to eat right and exercise more. In my opinion, anything that makes you feel so badly can't be healthy for your body. I  very happy for those that it worked for!!"


"I used Accutane about 11 years ago after trying every pill and cream and going through 4 different dermatologists. I had the usual side effect (dry everything). I went 10 years with perfect skin, not even 1 pimple. It was amazing. Over the last year my skin started getting very oily again and the breakouts were getting bad. I went back to my dermatologist where she had me try a few other medicines first and then we both decided it was back to the Accutane.
  I am just finishing up my first month back on the Accutane and I cannot wait to get it over with! I apply Vaseline to my lips every 20-30 minutes...I keep moisturizer on me all the time and have blood in my nose almost every morning.....but I know the end result is worth it!!"


"I've recently been taking tadalafil (generic cialis) and am finding it much better than viagra as the results seem to last up to 48 hours unlike Viagra that is only effective for a few hours.    No erection problems once I'm sexually stimulated !    From what I've read it will not work if you're taking certain other medications and can cause unpleasant side effects so users should be aware of this fact.    At the moment at least I'm sold on this product!"


"I started taking the medication in mid May, and will be off mid October.  I weighed in at 208lbs, at 5ft tall.  I gained a lot of weigh after a serious injury last year.  The only side effect I experienced was insomnia.  For the 1st month, only slept 2-3 hrs/night.  Good thing it gave me a lot of energy because I wasn't really tired. After a month my body adjusted and I slept longer periods.  From the injury wasn't able to exercise, but still went from 208 to 152lbs! Its a miracle in a bottle.  Dr recommends taking me off for 2 months, then will begin again mid December.  Hope to lose last 37 lbs.  Goal 115lbs."


"The mirena IUD has changed my life in the most positive way I could imagine. The insertion was the most painful experience of my life (never had children or been pregnant). I have PCOS and had very spontaneous and elongated periods (sometimes the periods were up to 60 days) it was very embarrassing for me to randomly bleed, for the sake of my underpants and sexual partners. The mirena was very painful to get inserted and I had cramping for two months following. Almost 12 months having mirena and I am absolutely in love with what it has done for me.  It was rough at the start but now I feel absolutely amazing. My embarrassing periods have completely stopped and my partner feels absolutely nothing. Seriously recommend to all of my friends."


"I started Saxenda in February 2016 and in 4 weeks lost 7 pounds.  I had quite a bit of nausea so I ate very little which may account for some of the weight loss but after 6 weeks or so the nausea subsided.  I continued to lose weight until month 5 which is when I plateaued after having lost 27 pounds.  It's now September and I haven't lost any more weight even though I've added exercise (4-5 times per weeks) but I continue to use Saxenda and I am hoping to breakthrough the plateau soon.  My physician did say that the drug is only effective for weight loss for 6 - 8 months; after that it only helps to maintain your weight."


"My dermatologist gave me a sample of Protopic for itching eyelids. He did not caution me that it was not for eye use as i later read on the outside of the tube. I applied it one evening to both eyelids. I spent the next 3 hours in misery from burning and itching eyes before I finally fell asleep about midnight. The only way I could get any relief was to wash my eyes with baby shampoo and water.It was terrible."


"I have had liletta for almost 3 months now and I'm loving it.  I was nervous to get it put in because I have a low pain tolerance and it did hurt a lot for about a minute when they were positioning it.  The planned parenthood nurses were very nice and let me lay down for about 15 minutes after the procedure and then I took the bus home.  For about an hour after I had horrible cramps, but then I had period-like cramps for the rest of the day.  Since I had a week left on my pill pack, they told me to finish it because liletta isn't 100% effective until 5 days later.  After I finished the birth control pills, I had my period for 8 days, which is about twice as long as it usually is.  But my next period was only 3 days and very light"


"I too was nauseated in the beginning but it was as worth working through. The timing of the medication is important since it has a  relatively short span. In the beginning I was taking it 12 hours apart so if 8 am, than 8pm. I lost nothing. Now I take my 2nd one around 5-6 pm. Keeps me in control for the evening. As the other reviewer stated, you need to change your lifestyle. I kick started the program with nutrasystem and now understand portion size. I eat everything, just less. Lose it app is great for logging. I've lost 17lbs in 3 months. Also there is a discount card on their website. You shouldn't have to pay more than $99 per bottle. I highly recommend."


"Tramadol is the best non-narcotic pain reliever for chronic back pain I've ever used."


"Recently completed concurrent chemo & radiation for Stage 3 Lung Cancer. Then a week before I was scheduled for my follow-up CT/PET scans, I came down with a bad cough and high fever. I was diagnosed with bronchitis (thankfully not pneumonia!!) and prescribed 750mg of Levofloxacin daily. When I filled the prescription, my pharmacist advised me that it's a strong antibiotic and told me of the real possibility of tendonitis. She also told me to take a Probiotic a couple of hours before or after the Levofloxacin. This seems to be missing from all the bad reviews of this drug. Make sure to ask about taking a PROBIOTIC along with the Levofloxacin!! Yesterday was my 7th and final day of the drug and I feel 99% better. Never had ANY side effects!!"


"Works very well on my facial pain and numbness."


"Switched from xanax 2mg 1/2 to one tab 2x daily (AN for anxiety, PTSD, panic disorder) to Xanax xr 1mg twice daily with .5 xanax once daily AN for panic. The only thing Xanax Xr did was give me waves of relief, along with waves of anxiety also. Went through my xanax script quicker as it helped greatly compared to XR & needed less. Alprazolam is meant for short acting Anxiety relief. XR is marketing scheme, cost 26$ comp. to 0$ for xanax(w/ ins) Clonazepam,or Diazepam is much more suited for longer acting benzos that help with anxiety. Xanax XR makes it more difficult to stop using & get addicted much easier,than safely taking your regular xanax, as can break em apart, if you feel you need less one day, one week, you can wean yourself easier"


"I use singular every night to help with my allergies and ASTHMA."


"Escitalopram at 5 mg once a day has absolutely saved my life. I had severe PMDD -- mood swings, anxiety, etc. My gyno was trying to prescribe a very high dosage, but I got really good advice from psychiatrist to start with the lowest dosage possible and titrate up from that. The medicine worked within 3 days (this fast result from an SSRI is only seen in patients with PMDD). I have never needed to increase the dosage, 5 mg works just fine. The mood is even, relaxed, but by no means, apathetic. My personality has not changed, but the severe mood swings, rages, are gone. It is amazing how a little pill can help so significantly. Side effect: Difficulty in reaching orgasm - although this is not consistent."


"I also found that the generic did not work as well as Azor. With Azor my bp is usually 120/78 and with the new generic it's 140/100. I will continue to use Azor and hope that the cost of $360 per month comes down."


"I have had this implant for 2 years and it's great ! The longest that I had my period for was a month. But it was only really light spotting. I have not suffered any side effects except blacking out
twice after getting it implanted. But even with blacking out I'm not too sure it was from the implant as it hasn't happened since. Now I have not had my period for 8 months and it's great !"


"Just started the second month of the three month pack. I've had no spotting at all. I am breaking out and I feel like I am always hungry even after I eat and have gained a few pounds. The acne is big red bumps which sucks. I have been on other four periods a year birth controls and had no problems at all, but insurance changes led to this."


"Condition:  Severe Hot Flashes
Rx:  Paroxetine 10mg (aka Paxil) by Mylan
Two weeks (14 days) into first time taking paroxetine 10mg (aka Paxil), and working great for me!  No more hot flashes.  Started gradual use at one tablet every other day while weaning off Rx Estradiol 2mg.  After two weeks, dosage is daily.  Taken at bedtime.

The only negative side effect experienced with the first pill was waking up drowsy and lethargic lasting throughout the day.  This was quickly remedied this by cutting pill in half; taking half at bedtime, and half next day at noon with food.

The 7.5mg Brisdelle brand is very costly and out of my budget.  The Paroxetine 10mg is covered by insurance.  Practical to cut in half, then other half in-half = @7.5mg."


"First 2 weeks it kept me asleep.  3rd week on I wake up with headaches and don't go back to sleep.  Its 2 am and I'm wide awake."


"had the mirena put in 7 days ago.  I am 46 years old, didnt want to get my periods anymore, no children.  My utererus falls backward so had a general anaesthetic to have it inserted.  So far, continual cramps, period pain tablets ease this, 5 days in the spotting has started.  Often get pain in left side.  Reading all comments, it will be intersting to see if the cramps and bloating go in a couple of weeks and how long the spotting will stay - i will stick it out for a couple of months."


"It worked pretty well for a long time; I've been on it about 12 years and have had no real issue with it.  The problem is that I've been on the max for a while and it's not helping me much anymore."


"When they ask me to say how effective this medicine is I got confused. I mean I'm not pregnant so it is effective  Lol "


"I was perscribed this medication by my psyciatrist about a month or so ago. Me and my mother were in no way notified about the effects this medication may have. I am only 15 years of age and I have been on fluoxetine for two years. This particular medication has not agreed with me at all... The same as aripripizol but worse. My symptoms worsened. I even developed more weird behaviours. I was worse than when I had started. I became increasingly paranoid, ten times more anxious and my mood fluctuated constantly. There has been no positive changes to my behaviour or mood and the side effects have effected me drastically. I have just got off the tablets and my depression has worsened and I now have insomnia. It has been in no way positive."


"This medicine has changed my life. I am a very active teenager, with almost the worst asthma imaginable. I couldn't even run 100m without wheezing and feeling like I was going to have an attach. This was very hard on my competitive soccer as well. But last spring my doctor prescribes singular to me and everything changed. Now I can run for a full hour without coughing or wheezing, and I only have to use my fast active relief when I am sprinting. The medicine started working in just a few days. Best medicine out there."


"I have had RLS since I was 40.  It got progressively worse as I grew older to the point that I could barely function.  I couldn't go out to eat with friends, or a movie, or church because I couldn't sit still that long.  It was affecting my job.  My family doctor had me on Sinimet for 16 years and then my body became resistant to it.  She sent me to a neurologist which proscribed Neupro.  It was life changing for me.  I noticed such a difference within 24 hours.  I felt like I had my life back again.   I do have some side effects from it.  The spot where the patch is on at times drives me crazy because it itches.  It does make me somewhat irritable at times.  Is it worth the side effects?  You betcha!!!!"


"I've taken two doses after my gall baldder surgery. The first one left my lips swollen and a bit numb. In about 1 hour, my face felt hot and looked flushed. I felt tingling in my legs. The second time I took it (which was today) after 1hr I felt my face really flushed again and it was red. My chest broke out in a rash. Now I feel flu like symptoms and I have a slight fever. I feel aches all over. I'm calling my doctor on Monday to change antibiotics. I'm not taking this anymore."


"Thought it was great that I only needed one dose but it made me violently sick and gave me the most horrendous stomach pain... followed by 3 hours of diarrhea. Headed back to the doctors as I'm afraid it didn't work"


"I am a pharmacy tech and am on Ambien CR 12.5 mg. I have been on it for about 3 months now but I don't take it every night. When I do take it (as my thyroid is hyperactive) I do feel rested in the morning but when I don't take it, it's really not a big deal. It does help with my sleep but I do hide my car keys from myself just in case."


"Update lost 7 lbs since 9/1/17"


"Retin-A is a life-changer. I struggled with moderate acne from about age 12. I tried Differin in high school, with some minor success, but still got plenty of breakouts and my skin was dull.

I went to the doctor and got Retin-A about 2 years ago, and it is a miracle product. My skin is beautiful. I routinely get compliments on my skin from friends and family, and can name multiple instances in which perfect strangers have told me that I have stunning skin. My skin is smooth and seems to glow. A plus is that Retin-A prevents wrinkles, so now that I'm in my twenties and preparing to see my first fine lines, I am happy to have that added benefit.

TIP: Give this stuff 6 months to work. I almost gave up and am glad I held out."
