"I'm still in the process of acclimating to Brintellix while weaning off of Paxil. However, I must say that my anxiety and depression seems to be much better, and my hunger (caused by Paxil) has reduced. One of the major side effects of Brintellix is nausea. So, instead of starting on a 5 mg dosage. I cut the 5 mg in half and took that for three days since I am very sensitive to medications. Today is my first day on the 5 mg dosage and have not experienced any nausea. The only side effects that I have felt so far is a bit of heartburn/indigestion, mild sleepiness, and mild dizziness, which certainly hasn't kept me from doing my day-to-day routine. People should at least give this medicine a chance."


"Yaz completely changed my life for good. I've suffered from PMDD for many years; to the point that I felt had no life because of mood swings, cramps, migraines, bloating and terrible anxiety.  I've been taking Yaz for a month now and I just experienced my first period on it, 3 light days vs. 7 days (2 extremely heavy days). I have mild cramps still.  I really love Yaz, it also has improved my sex drive!"


"I had scoliosis surgery about 30 yrs ago. Was in an auto accident herniated cervical and lumbar discs. Now fused T1-S1. Lumbar fusion resulted in nerve damage with pain radiating through right leg to my toes. Lyrica and Neurontin didn't help. Tramadol worked wonders. I take 2-50mg tabs and they get me moving. But they keep me up at  night the pain keeps me up all night too so I take temazepam for sleep. Now I'm trying the extended release version at night hoping the lag time until they start working will allow me some sleep and I'll feel better when I wake up."


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


"I was prescribed Bactrim and felt worse right away. After reading the side effects, I told myself that what I was feeling was normal. I took the prescribed dosage (2 per day) for 5 days, feeling even worst on the 5th day - shaky, diarrhea, headache, nervousness, unable to sleep. Then after some research, I discovered that there also were interaction side effects with my blood pressure medications. "


"I have been on this medication for about a month and a half and have not lost one pound. I drink water and have even eaten healthy. The only thing this medicine does is help me sleep better. It does not curve my appetite at all. I will go back to phentermine,  it actually works. I do not recommend this medication."


"Started on saxenda 2-6-17.  Started with injections about noon.  First day was fine.  Second and third day i was nauseated bad all day.  Could not eat but made myself eat crackers.  Today I am over the nausea but did have some diarrhea.  But now feeling fine.  I work at a medical office.  The nurses told me to hang in and it would get better.  They were right.  They also said to stay on .6 until I felt better not to up the dose.  It just takes time for your body to adjust to it.  Did also drink 7 up to help,"


"Periods became lighter within the first month, which was great because mine were very painful before. The one problem was the first time I took it. I felt far more depressed than ever before. But this was only temporary; it took about one week to adjust psychologically. Be sure to take with a good sized meal! Other than that, very slight weight gain and no spotting. Always take the brown pills too; they contain the mineral iron which women need a lot of."


"I love this stuff...I wish it came in 2 litre bottles!!"


"I am a 21 year old female. I have been on Sprintec since I was 19. I started it to control my heavy periods. I have not been sexually active whilst using this pill.

It has dramatically reduced my cystic acne (about 90%), and my weight has been stable whilst on this pill(II am 5 foot 9 and 160lbs, my weight has fluctuated a few pounds up and down during the past two years, but that's my normal weight, and I am at a healthy BMI, though I could stand to lose 10 or 15 lbs). I have not experienced any mood swings. My mood has been extremely stable. I used to get very depressed after ovulating, and it would go away while on my period. I believe I have PMDD, but this pill has kept it under control."


"I have PCOS and I struggled a lot with weight. Since taking the pill I've lost at least 15 pounds within the 3 months of taking it. However, the acne is the worst painful ones I've ever experienced. Large multiple deep cystic acne. I guess I'll deal since the weight loss is a positive..."


"Am currently on a low dose of Latuda (20 mg), experiencing very bad nausea and irregular bowel. Hopefully I will adapt soon."


"Sprained ankle. Took the pain away"


"I'm 18, and 110lbs. Not sexually active, but my mom wanted me to get it im case. The Insertion WAS NOT as bad as most people say.(on my period when placed) It was just uncomfortable. They could not get my cervix open, so they had 2 different doctors try. Eventually it was placed. The pain was very tolarable. I have now had it for 3 weeks, and still have light spotting along with slight moodiness. NO cramps, or any other symptoms though! Highly recommend! I can't even tell its up there!"


"This med, at 15 mg, causes sleepiness within an hour.  After 6 weeks I actually lost 1 kilo in weight, so weight gain isn't inevitable."


"I'm 22 years old and I was only 19 when I got diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. At first, I didn't know what was happening to me. I suddenly couldn't do my daily exercise because my knees, feet, arms, fingers, back and neck started to hurt so bad that it was difficult for me to get out of bed, not to mention getting down the stairs. Every rheumatologist appointment was turning into a torture session with the cortisone injections and liquid being removed from my knees. Methotrexate did not do me good, so my doctor finally decided to start filling papers for my Humira injection. 1st injection was last week and WOW! is all I got to say. I've never been so happy in my life. My mornings are painless and now I work 10 hours a day without any Tylenol or prednisone."


"Have had headaches for over 25 yrs with every doctors going through the same regime of drugs.  Finally got seen by a pain doctor and he immediately asked if any doc had talked to me about Cluster Headache (CH).  NOPE!!!! Started off with 180g of verapimil and Cluster Headaches went from 18 or so a month down to 12. After upping the strength to 240mg I'm now down to 7-9 a month. A complete life changer and glad I stopped seeing a neurologist - my pain doc saved me and could be happier. I rather have 9 CH a month instead of 18"


"I was switched from Levora to this. I never had issues with Levora but I hate Portia. I get cramps and pain randomly throughout the whole month. My right breast has gotten nearly a half cup bigger, despite my weight being stable. I feel bloated a lot and have cut carbs to try to fix it. This is my third pack so I was hoping the side effects would have subsided by now but they haven't. I am not impressed and hope Levora comes back on the market or whatever is going on with it because Portia sucks. Also, they have red dye in them, something I try to avoid. I waited to review until I had been on it a while to see if I was biased because of the dye but there's definitely an unwelcome change going on in my body that is really frustrating."


"This is a great medication for anyone who is addicted to pain killers or benzodiazepine.  I was addicted to both for years. It takes time to get yourself to go to a doctor being that you think it won't work or you can't afford it. Best thing I ever did."


"I have pain due to knee ligament damage. Meds last quite longer than some stronger meds but sometimes upset stomach occurs."


"I've had migraines my entire life. This is the only thing that has helped me. I have taken birth controls for years. I only take one Fioricet per day when I feel a headache starting and I haven't had a "migraine" since I started this medication a couple of weeks ago. This is my miracle pill."


"Took this for 10 days. Still did not knock out the full infection.  We are trying Zithromycin now, 500 mg's for 7 days and then off one week and then 7 more days."


"Taking 180mg daily Fexofenadine for Angio Edema.  Not had an attack for the last month whilst on it, so am pleased.  No side effects other than quite bad dreams.  The alternative in not taking it is severe facial swellings which will give other people bad dreams, so intend to keep using!"


"I am new to the Implanon,  I just had it inserted a few days ago.  So far, so good.  I've had mood swings but that's because I am a WOMAN.
What really concerned me was the reviews.  These ladies are telling horrible stories about their experience with the Implanon.  What they don't seem to understand is that EVERY birth control effects EVERY woman differently.  I wanted to make this post to let the ladies who aren't sure about the Implanon because of some other stuff they've seen online not to let that make your decision for you.  The best thing you can do it talk to your doctor, not go off of someone else's review."


"No more periods. I started taking this after Seasonique. You absolutely must take it at the same time every day. I cannot believe that I suffered through horrible PMS and periods all of these years. I was actually pondering a voluntary complete hysterectomy it was getting so bad. Last week I was in my closet and stumbled across my stack of boxes of tampons and pads I used to need every month. Who knows how much money I spent every month. I am sad that I did not pursue this freedom much earlier. Some doctors may try to talk you out of your freedom for one reason or another. Do not give up! Get ready to live your life!"


"Abnormal bleeding all month long and severe mood swings.  I'm switching after trying this for two months."


"I started Apri five months ago. I have always suffered with terrible ovarian cysts, and now they're starting to finally decrease. I have lost twenty pounds while I've been taking the pills, without changing my diet or exercise. I'm not pregnant, nor have I ever been. My sex drive is the same, but I can't eat anymore. Small meals twice a day that has absolutely no dairy in them are all my stomach can handle now. I have never had a problem with dairy before Apri. I also get terrible headaches and am constantly tired. There are positive and negatives to this pill."


"Incredible results! I used 80 mg (40 mg about 1 h before and 40 mg 10 to 15 minutes before the presentation) since my weight is 85 kg. No more fear of public presentations, especially when a microphone was involved!!"


"I didnt see a difference in my 8 yr old's symptoms. she became depressed quickly. she started to say she wanted to die! we discontinued use as soon as we realized it was the meds. now shes happy again"


"I had sores in my mouth, hands turning dark inside and cracking in the skin.  I am tired and I have nose bleeding but not enough for medical treatment."


"I was on Depo for about 5 years. My period would immediatly stop everytime I took the shot. That is the only positive. Aside from that I gained about 30 pounds from the shot. Thank God I was really small when I got on it , and my fat is in the " right" places. However, it doesn't change the fact that this is something that should not be on the market. Doctors will tell you that it is your diet that is causing the weight gain. However, my diet is the same as it was years ago. I decided to get off the shot , as getting a period is a part of woman hood and not enough of a reason to keep injecting something that awful in my body. I have been off about 6 months now. Thankfully my periods are regular now, but I plan to see a dietician soon!"


"I gained about 10-12 lbs and couldn't lose it which is weird since I eat very raw and workout hard 4-5 times aweek. As soon as I switched I lost it immediately. I also stopped getting huge cysts all over my body."


"I developed allergies in my 30s and then asthma. Within 5  years the asthma and allergies became severe, having anaphylaxis and systemic reactions to medicines and foods, while inhalents caused severe asthma reactions. I saw 6. Allergy specialists and I was told there wasn't anything else they could do. I had an anaphylactic reaction to both allergy skin testing and an allergy immunolytics therapy injection. Finally in 2008 an allergist recommended xolair.  After 4 months I noticed the seasonal allergies and number of asthma issues decreased. I haven't had an anaphylactic reaction since 2010. I now just take Allegra daily and live a regular life."


"Have only taken the product for 2 days but have felt tired. My appetite has less than usual. I an glad with the loss of appetite. But am in hope that the tiredness will diminish once I have been taking the medication for awhile."


"I just got my Skyla today and so far so good. I'll admit, I totally spent the days before the appt reading all the negative reviews and psyching myself out. I talked to my doctor about the different IUD's and we decided the Skyla was most logical because I haven't been pregnant (good bc of the size of the IUD), I didn't want to completely stop my period, didn't want full hormones (just enough to hopefully help with my cramps), and obviously didn't want to get pregnant. I'm leaving for college in the fall so it was important to have some sort of Birth Control for a lot of reasons. I was worried about pain with insertion but it honestly was like a 4/10, just really uncomfortable. Whole appt took literally 10 mins. hoping for good results"


"I'm 15 years old and I've been on this treatment for around about a year. Straight away when I started using it my skin totally cleared up within weeks. I stopped using the treatment for around about 2-3 weeks and I immediately noticed within a week of not using it my spots had came back. I couldn't get hold of the duac because there was a manufacturing problem but when I could get it again and I started using it my spots wouldn't go away. It took around 2 month to get clear skin the first time around but the second it took around 8 months. Another problem I've had with duac is about 2-4 times I've used the duac its burnt my face so I've had to rub it off and it tends do give me really flakey,dry, tight skin. Overall i think its really good"


"After trying several different birth control options (pill/IUD) this is by far the best one so far ... I've been taking it for a little over 4 years and it is very effective with  minimal side effects - mostly physical symptoms like slight dizziness from time to time and slight discoloration on my face which is easily covered with powder.  Over the course of the last year or two, my periods went from your average 5 to 7 day period to a very nice 3 day, very light period."


"I had my Skyla IUD in approximately 5 months. I bled for 2 months straight and it was miserable.
I noticed after the bleeding stopped that my period was due but did not come, which is not unexpected considering I thought my IUD was the cause. Just in case, I bought a pregnancy test and it turned out to be positive. I also confirmed that by two doctors. I have been in and out of the doctors office for the removal of Skyla, blood tests, and ultrasounds. As well as an ER visit due to the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. I did not want this pregnancy and I've been put through hell because Skyla did not work. I don't recommend it to anyone."


"I started on triumeq august 1,2016....on the second day I had a bad headache & a terrible stomach ache( both were relieved by motrin & fresh ginger tea). Now, I must admit I feel better than I've felt in months!!   :-)  . Even tho a side effect of the med is loss of appetite, lately I've been ravenous..eating more than I ever have, which is wonderful for me because I had loss a lot of weight lately & it showed..."


"Horrific. Unbearable stomach cramps and sweats. I've literally been in the tub clothed, running cold water on myself. I keep praying feeling like I'm going to die! I will never use again. The pain is worse than the constipation. From now on a scoop of miralax everyday to keep the backups away! "


"I have been on METANX for diabetic neuropathy (and I am anemic) and now my energy level has been greatly diminished."


"I've been on this pill for around 7 weeks and so far so good. I have a bit of bloating/gas pain and breast tenderness but other than that I am thrilled. The cost is a bit high as there aren't any generic versions of this exact pull out there but, to me, it's been worth the cost."


"The first couple weeks were tough at 30mg, was overmedicated and experienced severe anxiety and obsessive compulsive symptoms which I tried to take care of with luvox. I felt as if brain activity had slowed to a crawl, just basically really drugged up.  I decided to reduce dose to 20 then 15mg, worked like a charm. I discontinued SSRI's and my OCD has not returned. My intelligence is returning gradually. I might just take that final step down to the lowest effective dose to see the changes I need. Overall the long half life is a huge help, try starting lower but still therapeutic. It may take a number of months for changes to materialize. good luck!"


"Works great but no more coverage for this medicine, can't afford it."


"I started taking thia about a month ago in the morning for my constipation and it works better with way less side effects than both amitiza and linzess. I am so happy I ran across this and found out it unofficially treats issues many of my issues including constipation, migraines, anxiety, sleep troubles, energy issues, etc. Since I have severe constipation, this brings my system some normality and not  diarrhea.  I love it and it is a new staple."


"Taking this for a very painful dental abscess. It's been a God send. Got my first significant bit of sleep in days. It does give me dry mouth, so if you take it for dental reasons Biotene mouthwash is helpful."


"I have severe plaque psoriasis. I have tried coal tar shampoo, steroids, creams, lotions, injections to get rid of it. In less than 2 weeks I went from embarrassing plaque on my forehead, all over my scalp, behind my ears, hand, foot, chest and torso to the plaque being mostly gone, no more flaking skin, and the redness is starting to subside. I haven't felt this comfortable in my own skin in years. Yes some of the stomach issues aren't great but I'll take side effects that will go away once my body gets used to the medicine vs being embarrassed to go on dates."


"I had my first 3 injections 5 years ago and helped me for 5 years of pain free knees. Now 5 years later I have had my first injection yesterday and the next 2 in the next 2 weeks. Hope this one will also do the job for the next 5 years. Had no side effects whatsoever. I had a great doctor who did my hip replacement and also did the Synvisc injections. The key is to get a good doctor to do the injections. I highly recommend this injection."


"I have had a prescription for Ativan for about 6 years. This was given to me after a diagnosis of GAD that was taking over my life. I have tried many SSRIs, SNRIs, and several off label drugs, but none helped. Most actually seemed to make my condition worse. I would take 0.5 - 1mg of Ativan on occasions when I felt out of control, and it would bring me relief. I have taken 0.5 - 1 mg in a day only as perscribed. Sometimes I have taken it daily for three months at this dosage. I was always terrified about the withdrawals you read so much about if you stop taking this, but I am perhaps one of the lucky ones who, at this dosage, can simply stop with no bad effects. I regularly stop for months at a time."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I am 44 female, and I had total of 4 injections. Yes, it really works with keeping the white blood cells count up. Did an awesome job there! But I had such severe bone and joint pain. It was unreal the pain. Always 2 days after getting injection. And pain would last longer with each new injection. But I got Percocet for pain. I would just takes a pill then go to bed. I seriously hate how very bad the pain was! But even being around the little ones I babysit for. Who seemed always sick, I never caught anything. But the pain is insane. Drink lots and lots and lots of water and fluids."


"So hubby and I tested positive for chlamydia, kicking myself because I think we have both had it asymptomatically for at least half a year, him longer. Chlamydia is a silent, sneaky bastard! Anyway we got prescribed the two pill method to take at once. We had just eaten breakfast, him an omelette and I oatmeal. After taking it I had a banana, some nuts and later on dinner. I found I randomly had some sharp stomach pains that lasted about 30 minutes but they were bearable. I've been gassy all day, which is annoying but again, not the worst thing ever. Hubby hasn't been spared. He's been in and out of the bathroom all day! But he's had a sensitive stomach the past two weeks as it is so it's hard to say what affected what."


"I've been on this medication for almost 2years now. It was prescribed to me 4 nerve pain. "


"I tried so many medications before like prozac and zoloft. I can't remember the rest but they made me sick or suicidal. I've been on Paxil CR 12.5 for 10 yrs and never increased and it is the best one for me. I cannot live my life without paxil. It has made me a better person, mother, sister, and friend."


"My doctor prescribed this medication 40 mg twice daily. After 3 weeks of taking this, it landed me in the hospital with severe electrolyte imbalance. I thought I was dying - the pain was unbearable. Will never take this drug again."


"This medicine has so far worked very well. My Dr prescribed it after the usually infection pill and cream didn't work. I've been put on a five day dose, two capsules once a day and so far the itching has completely  subsided... I am much less uncomfortable than I was before I started the medicine.
My Dr also prescribed two capsules on the first day of my cycle for three months to get rid of recurrence of the infection.
It works wonders"


"I first had the implant put in last year and the procedure itself is not that bad. I don't like needles but the nurse put me at ease. Anyway I wasn't bleeding but was suffering with severe cramps most of the time and my boyfriend was very concerned so I went back on the pill and couldn't seem to settle, so went back to family planning where I was told the implant had been improved so I opted to try it again. I must admit I get the odd bit of spotting and stomach cramps which can be painful, but I now wonder if this is an age thing that as you get older you can suffer more as I definitely wasn't like this in my early 20s. Am now in my late 30s. "


"This really did nothing for me at all not like I hoped that it would cause I was really hoping that it would work for me but nope not at all and i was on the highest quality that ya could be on and like i mean that and its not a joke and that really kind of sucked but hey if anyone knows about something that does work please let me know cause I really need it cause I need something for this crazy freaking pain im dealing with everyday of my life but yea please let me know ASAP cause I can't take this anymore and am so sick of living like this cause it's just not fair to my girl's or to me cause it's just so hard to do anything when all you feel is pain you know and it really sucks and is not a life to have..."


"After having severe headache and vomiting with a sulfa drug, I was put on Macrobid for my UTI.  I got a little headache after second dose, but popped a Tylenol.  Also, made sure I took my pills with food. I was able to finish the full regimen and although the UTI took a bit longer to get kicked out, the Macrobid worked.  It really wasn't bad at all to take.  I have many food allergies, too, and was able to tolerate Macrobid pretty well."


"if i could rate this a 0 I would. I have struggled with acne for 5-6 years now. At the end of October I FINALLY went to a dermatologist. She prescribed Tazorac along with Acticlate. However, Tazorac DOES NOTHING. It is a topical treatment meant to be used at night, it is supposed to help clear acne and scarring. I would use it every night after washing my face. It didn't work...AT ALL. I still get acne and I have been using this stuff for 6 months. I highly DO NOT recommend."


"I had dental implants. I was a nervous wreck going to the dentists office. I was in the dentists chair for 5 minutes and after that I don't remember a thing. The next thing I remember was my daughter getting my prescriptions filled at the pharmacy. I am thrilled to say this anesthetic was great ! I wish everyone of my surgical procedures was this easy. No after effects."


"As a chronic insomniac I have trouble not only getting to sleep but staying asleep. Temazepam works wonderfully: 7-8 hours of blissful sleep. There are no side-effects that I have noticed."


"Herceptin is a life saver for those of us that are HER2 . I took it every 3 weeks for 52 weeks.You will need a TET done on your heart before you start and Benadryl before infusion but I had no side effects. I did take it with Taxol for 12 weeks. Life saver!"


"Checking back in from my previous post. I just started my 3rd week on my 3rd pack. First, I never write reviews and second I'm so mad it's taken me this long to try yaz. I can't believe how my skin looks! SO CLEAR! I had zero faith in this birth control,I've tried everything. 1month ago I was hiding in my room wanting to get off this stuff. The initial breakout was bad, definitely made it worse by picking at it. I don't remember the last time my face has looked this clear! This was my dermatologist last try before the dreaded accutane. The last 2 years has been filled with nasty chin/jaw breakouts. First time in 2 years I have no breakouts. THANK YOU MAKERS OF YAZ. Please please please give it 3-4 months before giving up."


"I was put on Ceftin for a sinus infection, 3 days later I developed terrible diarrhea with blood, found out it was called pseudomembraneous colitis. It is now a week later and I am still suffering from the side effects. "


"Im18 yrs old and I had sex for the first time today & it did not go as planned. My boyfriend & I used a condom & he finished inside me, when he went to pull out the condom has slid off & some had spilled on me. Instantly, I started crying & freaking out, I'm barely set to graduate high school this year & I cannot have a child. Anyways, my boyfriend & I had  money & he headed to CVS where he purchased  Plan b one step. We went to his house & I was really freaking out because I cant take pills but I knew Id have to make it work. So we got there, read the box carefully and looked at all the possible side effects. I took the pill with a bit water about 2 hrs later after the sex. Reading these reviews makes me feel a bit better, I hope it works.."


"I'm two days after gallbladder removal and was given this during anesthesia. Pain prior to surgery was excruciating but the all over pain from this is debilitating. Every leg, arm, stomach muscle is hurting to the point it's difficult to move anything. Even my jaws hurt. I will never use this drug again; I will deem myself allergic. I've recently had both hips replaced and was given a different muscle relaxant during those surgeries that did not cause any post operative pain. I'd never thought to ask about anesthesia drugs prior to surgeries. Due to the horrible pain I've experienced with succinylcholine, I will be certain to ensure its never used on me again.  Other sufferers say it lasts about 4 days. I hope that's the outcome."


"Gabapentin works really well for my degenerative disc disease and back arthritis without making me
sleepy like opiates. It's not addictive as well. The only downside, after taking it for about 3 months, it seems it's making me gain weight and gives me a lot of gas. And I'm eating less than I did before taking it."


"This medication works great to regulate my bowels due to Crohn's disease."


"So I had mine put in about a week ago and I had it put in right before I got my other birth control taken out.. the one that looks like a match stick in your arm ( can't spell it right now) and omg did it hurt.. My sister had it and told me it wouldn't hurt but she didn't tell me that it was a lot worse to insert if you haven't had kids
 - which I haven't.. but it was bearable. We got some ibuprofen and I was fine.  I even went shopping after.  I still feel like I've got cramps and my back hurts a little more then usual but other then that it's been going pretty great. All though my nipples hurt but I'm not sure what's going on with that....."


"As a disclaimer, I have not taken birth control for over ten years. That said, I decided it would be the right choice with a new partner in tow. The first week I started Lutera, I experienced dryness around my lips. As I entered week two, I began experiencing dryness around the labia. The change in hormones affected me adversely as I became irritable and anxious for no reason apparent.  It became very clear the pill was thinning the walls of my vagina and natural lubrication disappeared when I had normal intercourse with my partner and I was torn inside.  I experienced quite a bit of tearing and consequent bleeding from those rips.  I remained on the pill for a full month.  My lips progressively became more dry and cracked."


"I am 18 years old and had severe bleeding ever since I first got my period. I started off with a normal flow that lasted one week which eventually got heavy to the point wear I wore purple maxi overnight pads during the day. My periods would last 7 months and eventually I became anemic. After visiting many doctors which only suggested birth control (the option we tried to avoid) The gynecologist I visited perscribed Lo Loestrin Fe to stop my periods and some iron pills and vitamin D for my anemia. I didn't suffer with cramps, bloating, nausea and such during my long periods. After starting Lo Loestrin Fe It stopped completely and I have had no bad experiences with acne or weight gain, just bleeding on my 3rd week. Its been a great two months!"


"I'm 23 got I just got presrecribed 10 mg ambien for sleep . is was probably the best sleeping thing for meds I've had for insomnia. I've never had any weird experience or others problems either. Even though I've been on it for 6 months now."


"I've been on the nuva ring, depo shot, 3 different brands of pills, condoms, and finally switched midwives and she suggested jolivette.  I am a newly married 26 year old elementary school teacher and athlete training for triathlons and I have been able maintain a lower weight.  I still have a sex drive although I have lost my period now for 3 months.  I'm currently an athletic size 10 so weight is not an issue there. The loss of a period leads to having to take monthly pregnancy tests but I'd rather have to take those than having a period or a child with fas.  The only complaints are tender breasts practically constantly and 2-3 constant acne spots on my chin.  Easily covered with foundation."

"Awful side effects- insomnia, unable to stop body from jerking, mind racing, food cravings and WEIGHT GAIN."


"I started taking Byetta 3-4 months ago. It has along with diet, metformin and amaryl, enabled me to stop all insulins, (which I was allergic to). My blood sugar has dropped from the 180-250 range to 84-120, which I am very happy about. I also was informed by my doctor that Byetta reduces fat deposits around the liver so for people who have liver disease it is very important."


"I was prescribed Bactrim DS for folliculitis. It did nothing except make me tired and gave me a yeast infection. Trying Keflex now and hoping for better results."


"I recommend this product, it works!! I'm experiencing my first YI and I'm 18. You have to tolerate some burning, itching and swelling but it's all good. First night, I cried myself to sleep. The burning and itching made me want to rip my hair out! The second night wasn't so bad, only burning I had was when the cream started dripping and coming out. I went to sleep just fine. I'm on the third night now and no burning or itching! A little swelling on my vuvla but I'm glad it's over. I know that my yeast infection is gone! I recommend taking bendryl a couple minutes before you install the cream in though. Great results though."


"Horrible medication with tons of side effects.  I have tried this stuff twice over a 15 year period and this time was much worse....all the side effects listed I got to experience within two weeks of taking this drug with slow introduction.  And I still got migraines even while taking it...and now I have to take eye medication on top of wheezing, felt like puking, dizzy, edgy and wanting to kill myself.  Throw this one in the waste basket and try the alternatives before touching this stuff."


"I too had migraine headaches since a teenager. I would leave work vomiting and have to stay in bed, pillow over the head for 3 days (monthly). Back then, nurses couldn't ask for medication for headaches we would be considered 'seekers'. Phenergan was a God send then. When Imitrex came out I thought I found the Holy Grail. Topamax has beat it. NO Headaches, I have my life back. Thank You Pharmacologists, Researchers, Chemical Engineers...
BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY!!"


"Used it for a mth  and having the weirdest seizures ever"


"I've been using Provigil in combination with Wellbutrin for my adult ADD. I'm almost 50 and was just diagnosed 3 years ago. I tried the stimulants and like the way they helped my concentration and focus but I couldn't take them because of my high blood pressure. I've also tried Strattera which worked really well but again I couldn't deal with the side effects (not being able to urinate can be painful). Provigil really helps slow down my racing thoughts but it doesn't seem to help with my concentration or distract ability. I take it first thing in the morning and usually can't get to sleep until midnight or 1.00am. Luckily I work at home so that's not a real problem. I'm glad to see it's worked well for some of the others who have posted comments."


"I'm sharing my positive experience with Paragard - I hesitated for quite some time because of some of the things I'd read online. I've had Paragard for 4.5 months now, and I wish I'd gotten it sooner! It's wonderful!

Two main points- first, my period hasn't changed much. Still lasts 5 days, with 1-2 days of bleeding on the heavier side. No, I don't have to change my tampon every hour =)

As for the cramps, mine have actually IMPROVED. I don't even have to take midol anymore!! My cramps used to be a constant, dull ache that would last all day- they were terrible. With Paragard they come in short waves (lasting for like 10 seconds). They are so much more bearable now!

No maintenance, no hormones, and highly effective? Best decision ever!"


"Can't live without this medication"


"I have suffered with tinnitus and mild hearing loss for the past 10 years.  I had gotten to the point of completely "losing" it.  The constant ringing, buzzing, etc. was driving me insane and causing anxiety.  My doctor prescribed Xanax for the anxiety, but it clearly brought the tinnitus under control.  I no longer suffer from anxiety because I'm no longer stressed by the continuous noise.  Xanax gets a bad rap, but it saved me and made my life normal again.  Many thanks to my doctor."

"This is my 4th colonoscopy.  I get them often due to my fathers untimely death from colon cancer at the age of 44.  I'm 42.

Anyhow, in the past I've tried other preps. Miralax was what I did for the last two.  Can't recall what the first one was.  This one was by far the easiest one to take.  I read (and laughed) my way through the reviews for this one and for Moviprep and ultimately decided this was the lesser of the evils, so I went with it.

I read a lot of complaints about the taste & also noted that chilled water was best to mix with it, so I did.

I chugged it while pinching my nose and it was done in about 30 seconds.  I then chased it with Mt. Dew.

To my surprise, it wasn't bad at all.  Took 80 min to work.  Here I sit.  Good times!"


"Was prescribed gabapentin for neuropathy and off label for restless leg syndrome. I ramped up the dosage over three weeks to 600mg three times daily. It did decrease both sets of symptoms. It also sent me into major depression. When I eased off the medicine (all under doctor's supervision) the depression eased completely. "


"Very good detailed information about this condition. I take Reglan for bloating and early feeling of fullness and it works. I also have diabetes so that contributes to my condition."


"I am 29. Singulair alleviated my season allergies in the beginning for a period of 2 weeks maybe, after that I had the opposite reaction, was having a hard time breathing and my nose and throat were dry all the time. I stayed on it thinking it was something else, then I decided to quit it because after a regular run it triggered a tachycardia. This was something I never had before, I am a healthy guy, used to push myself hard during workouts. Once I stopped it there were no issues with dry nose or anything else. Guess I'm one of the minority that have adverse reactions to it."


"I was a little skeptical at first, given the fact that I went in for a regular Pap Smear and walked out with an IUD. Overall, the insertion was painful, but tolerable. It was really fast. I never cramped before Skyla, so the cramps are my only complaint; but nothing Tylenol can't fix. After the insertion I cramped for a good 12 hours. I got it a week before my period, so I got my period a week later, everything was normal except the bad cramps  for about 10 mins the day I started my period. After that, everything was normal. No spotting, no emotional moods, no weight gain. It is as if I am not on anything. No babies! Which is the ultimate goal. So far I am happy. Periods are lighter and sex drive is through the roof."


"This drug is the devil. The first few doses work like magic. After 1 week a hellish withdrawal starts kicking in about 2 hours after taking each dose. Impossible to ween off of without a doctor who's familiar with this highly addictive drug."


"I am taking Lyrica 75 mg every night, per doctors instructions. I have had no relief for my lower back and right hip and right leg pain. I have also had my 3rd steroid injection and if anything- my pain is worse. I am so tired and desperate for relief. I feel like I have no quality of life."


"Not really impressed with this. Ortho-Cyclen was much better for me. I have been on it for 9 months and at first it was ok but after a while I would get painful, heavy periods the first day, backaches during period, breasts hurt all the time, and no sex drive whatsoever.  Will be coming off of this soon."


"I have been taking Citalopram for 5 yrs and have had no side effects.  My sister & niece take the same thing (& same dose) and swear it makes them sleepy.  As for Yawning as another person mentioned, I start yawning every evening @ 8pm.  Regardless whether I'm tired or not.  I've done this long before I ever started taking Citalopram so can probably say for sure it's not because of the med.  I have very little to no yawning during the day.  90% of the time, if I yawn during the day, it's because someone in the house has yawned or I see it on tv...and it makes me yawn.  I also take an antidepressant at night, one which helps me sleep. so between the two, it pretty much keeps me stable."


"After entering into a rigorous educational program where I am in the operating room for hours at a time, I realized I needed to see my doctor for my ADHD. I first tried Adderall XR. I had severe side effects, nearing a heart attack. I went back to the doctor and was prescribed Vyvanse. I also have a history of anxiety and some depression. Vyvanse has been amazing! I can focus and my anxiety is nearly gone. I will say that I had more focus with Adderall, but an unnecessary amount of focus. I feel normal on Vyvanse, like I am not on medication. My heart rate does increase during the first couple of hours. I also have to time the dose just right or I will either not sleep or the meds will wear off too soon."


"I received the Nexplanon about 4 months ago. I've had on and off bleeding and spotting for the past 3 months, sometimes heavy and sometimes brown spotting. No weight gain and more pimples than usual on my chest and back. I have experienced mood changes, somewhat of a depression and immense fatigue at times. Sex drive has decreased noticeably. I do not feel like myself. May consider removing it at 6 months if issues have not resolved and the doctor will allow it."


"I've been taking trazodone for 3 years now. I absolutely love it. I take 300 milligrams, sleep through the night, and feel completely refreshed in the morning. Not drowsy, sleepy or feel like I'm out of it. I have many friends and family members that also use it and it had absolutely no side effects either. Much better than taking Xanax, Valium and Ambien. I LOVE TRAZODONE."


"Love tri-previfem! The first week I'll have to admit it made me pretty nauseous, I actually lost a few pounds, but after that first week I've been fine. So far I haven't gained any weight, it actually seems to curb my cravings which is great! Also, my sex drive has been wonderful! I haven't had any crazy mood swings or bouts of depression, and my breasts have grown a whole cup size (again, without weight gain anywhere else!). All in all I really love this BC, I was on nuvaring before this and it made me completely nuts."


"One of the best and most effective decongestants around."


"Abilify has been a lifesaver for me, probably literally. I've tried at least a dozen different medications (for the treatment of depression and social anxiety) since I was 16 (I'm now 25) and Abilify has probably shown the biggest improvement of them all. My mood is great most of the time, anxiety is reduced, and I have a lot more confidence than I used to. The one side effect: weight gain. I'm hungry all the time and have gained 20-30 pounds. Previously my mental health took priority over my physical health because I was so depressed. Now that I'm doing better I may cut back on Abilify in order to get back in better physical health. Hopefully the positive effects won't go away!"


"Novask like all meds have side affects works great on me..lowered my stubborn pressure from 238/110 down to 140/90 in 4weeks. Its very effective. I found that taking 5mg in the am and 5mg at night are more effective with less side effects

No results on lopressor after a year on that stuff. .bad side effects."


"I am 60 yo male starting weight 297lbs. Since January 1, 2014, I am now at 225lbs.
I no longer take blood pressure medicine, cholesterol medicine, and asthma inhaler. I also have MS. This is the best treatment for a new lease on life. I will continue on till I hit my goal weight of 195lbs. I have been a vegetarian for the past 28 years of my life."


"I enjoy this birth control. I was apprehensive to using it because of the reviews, but it's kind of luck when it comes to taking any form of birth control. I went with nuvaring because my my mom used it and said she had no side effects. A bit of background info: we both suffer from severe depression.

I've been using it for two months. There are only a few effects I've experienced: breast growth, a few weeks light period, increase in sex drive, maybe motion sickness. The long period comes from me trying to cheat the system and insert it early to end my period on the 4th week, which is safe. I think all it did was slow it down. With the motion sickness, I don't know if it's the BC, but I experience car sickness when I drive now."


"I got the Depo shot in Aug. of 2015. My husband had just gotten home from the army and we did not want children until I finished college. The 1st shot cycle I did not get my period but we were still using other forms of contraceptive just in case. During the 2nd shot cycle I started lightly spotting but the doctor told me that was normal. I noticed the spotting was not going away throughout the entire 3 months and decided I did not want to go in and get my 3rd shot.  I had gained weight, was irritable, and my sex drive had significantly decreased and was beginning to take a toll on my marriage. It has now been exactly 32 days since I should have gotten the 3rd shot and I am still bleeding extremely heavily, everyday and absolutely miserable."


"Okay, I know A LOT of young girls are probably very worried and are looking for answers. Hopefully my experience using Plan B will ease your minds. I took Plan B 13 hours after having unprotected sex. Abdominal pain, loss of appetite, depression, hyperventilating, anxiety, my nipples were hurting, I got a yeast infection, constipation, a withdrawal period caused by Plan B about a week after taking it and yesterday I got my period! Two and a half weeks after the one caused by the pills!"


"I am in my early 40's and have been dealing with severely heavy bleeding, fibroids, and endometriosis. I was prescribed sronyx after a myomectomy I went through in order to help control my bleeding. However it hasn't worked for me. It's been 7 months since my procedure and although I has lighter bleeding the first couple of months after the procedure, my symptoms have all resurfaced. I am having heavy bleeding once again with cramps, clots, and lasts for about 9 days. Perhaps I need to try another pill?"


"Started 4 weeks ago. On .75 per week.  First week had a little nausea and heartburn a few times. 3rd week everything seems fine.  Lost 8 lbs and glucose levels are AMAZING.  No side effects for weeks 3 and 4 so my body must be used to it now.  I am glad this is working so well! Bonus is I don't crave bad foods now.  Very pleased."


"I was also hit hard with rheumatoid arthritis in 2011. Tried prednisone, followed by methotrexate pills, Arava and others, nothing helped. In 2012 I was put on Humira which helped a lot for a few months, but not enough. Since January 2013 I use Simponi along with 0.8 ml methotrexate injections, and it has given me back my quality of life.
After 1 1/2 years I could bend my pinky finger again, wow! For me the change was subtle, but very effective. I tried alternative meds etc. after being diagnosed and didn't want to take this route, but honestly I cannot live without it. For me it works, it's a miracle."


"Not sure if it's only the medicine or the endocrinologist prescribed it wrong, but, all I can say is I am sick, sick, sick every day, all day for the past 2 weeks. The second shot was 1.5. Not sure what the first one was, as it was given to me at the Dr's office. I felt nauseous the whole first week. This week, extreme nausea, acid reflux, loud burping, bloating, lack of appetite and/or disgusted by sight and smell of all foods. Only one good comment: my blood sugar has gone down from 140ish to 110-129 and I also decreased my Lantus units. However, I cannot function like this so I'm stopping this med immediately."


"I have eczema, which is a form of dermatitis.  I get it most predominantly in the fall through the spring on different parts of my body.  I take an antihistamine for the itching sensation and use pramosone for the dry, cracked, painful physical reaction.  It has saved my life (and my mind) more than a few times; however, once it expires it doesn't have the same amazing effect."


"I have been using Acanya for only a short time. Less than a week and I see a huge difference in my skin.  My doctor told me that it wouldn't be perfect but I can live with that.  My pores have decreased and I have not developed a new pimple since beginning treatment"


"I've been on the pill for almost a month, no break through bleeding, but light cramps and headaches but not severe. I guess I can say that's good compared to some others comments but I'm getting off the pill today because I just got on it because I wanted fewer periods but I absolutely hate cramps and headaches. Hope it works for you."


"I liked Nexplanon for not having to remember to take a pill everyday and it did it's job. Apart from light spotting for the first 2 month I had no period for the other 15 months.  Down sides were I put  2 stone on which is not budging. I had horrendous irritable bowel syndrome which thankfully disappeared the day it was removed. It took 8 months to have it removed as it had gone too deep in my arm and so had to wait for hospital appointment. Even though it was 9mm deep it didn't hurt having it removed. Just waiting for my 2nd period off, they appear to be every 6 weeks but lighter and shorter (3-4 days). Just wish the weight would go now"


"After about 4 years of terrible hay fever, lasting from about September to May, I have finally found my cure! I have tried countless allergy medications, including Zyrtec. None of them seemed to work until my doctor finally told me to try Allegra 180mg. I have not experienced any side effects, except I did have a sore throat about a week after starting Allegra. I definitely recommend this product."


"I have been on the Implanon for two years and it's OK expect I have gained weight and I still have my period I think it's because the day I got it my period was on and it's lasted for a month then it went off for like 2 months now it's regular."


"I started this medication when I was about 11 or 12 and took it for 6 months. It made me so anxious and so restless I remember having to get up in the middle of class several times to get a drink of water to try and stop my anxiety. I had several episodes of this and always felt that I had to be moving. Maybe I was too young to be on the medicine though..."


"I got the Mirena IUD inserted one year postpartum, and had it in for 5 years. Insertion was slightly painful; it felt like a bad cramp for a few seconds. I experienced a lot of spotting for the first month on Mirena. My periods ended up being very regular, (26 day cycles) with spotting for 7 days every cycle. I only used a panty liner. I got cystic acne on a regular basis, which was something that never happened before. I also experienced moodiness, hair thinning, and my anxiety increased. The worst thing about Mirena was the 40 lb. WEIGHT GAIN. The best thing was that it worked well to prevent pregnancy. Removal wasn't bad; just a couple seconds of pain. Replaced with the non-hormonal Paragard IUD at the same visit with no issues."


"This is a great medicine by all means. If you suffer from anxiety or panic attack, please do your self a favour and take it because it will make you  fresh and put you back to the person you used to be. I suffered both anxiety and some panic attacks because those two work hand in hand and almost killed me. My life almost got destroyed because I was afraid of doing things alone, travel alone, or trying new things. I tried to make my self busy with playing video games or playing with my phone, or watch movies to keep my mind busy with that. but still I used to suffer this a lot. after taking this medication for about 7 months at 10 mg per day, i totally forgot what it means to be under anxiety or having such panic attacks. First few days r hard"


"I seriously feel like my vagina is beating through my chest. I had too question if I was going to have a heart attack using this cream. My vagina is on fire. And a very dull yet sharp achy hurting pain that is non stop. I can feel the ache all the way up to my chest. Is this medicine even legal?? I literally don't know if I can go to work like this. Why does it sting so bad!????"


"I took 2 of these around 9:30 last night. This morning around 5AM I woke up with stomach cramping that put any pain I have felt before to shame. About 4 hours later I started vomiting profusely. Finally after an enema I relieved my bowels. Never again will I put myself through this agony. NO THANK YOU. I will drink some mag citrate next time."


"I live in a small town in middle Georgia. Last year my doctor put me on Methadone 10mg twice a day, to take along with Lortab 10/650. After 9 years of pure agony from a car accident I am back to work, just got re-married and actually live a normal life again with a very tolerable pain level. I number one thank God for my doctor who prescribed it and to the person who discovered this miracle drug. I don't care what other people think about what I am taking. They are not the ones that were in agony 24/7. Thanks to METHADONE I now live everyday with optimism and vigor."


"This birth control was advised to me strictly to help the awful symptoms of my menstrual cycle stomach aches, heavy bleeding etc6 and loestrin ended up taking my period away for over a year. This although it seems amazing, did not seem healthy to me at all. I also lost a ton of hair the first month or so of going on it. My hair is still not healthy as it was before. Barely grows.. a lot drier.. I currently am off of it and it took me almost 4 months to finally get my period back again. Now that the symptoms are back in full swing.. I am wishing I never went off of it obviously.. but I am definitely afraid of going back on it and losing my hair all over again so it looks like I am toughing out the symptoms with the rest of the female race"


"53 years. Not full erectile dysfunction, just not what it used to be. Excellent, but you must take daily.  I'm on 5mg."


"This has been a life changing experience. I suffered from migraines for years having 3-4 a month with a constant daily headache. I tried everything and things helped but not like this. I haven't had a migraine in 3 months and the one I did have was nothing like the ones in my past. I still get random headaches but again nothing like before. I feel brand new. I feel free from my migraines.

I would recommend this to anyone struggling with migraines or daily headaches"


"I had to stop taking Zelapar because I was having an operation. After a couple of days the operation was postponed and I forgot that I had stopped taking Zelapar. Anyway mid-day one afternoon I was having a horrible time because it seemed all movement had stopped, the next day the same, a couple of more days went by and I figured my good luck was up and it was time for either new medicines or a D.B.S. Then I remembered that I was not taking the Zelapar, well I went back to my daily dose and I am almost my old moving self. Thanks."


"I am 62 yrs old since 19 I had 4 seizures and was on Dilantin 500mg/day and Mysoline (primidone) 250mg 3 X/day. Then 2 mths. before I became 62 I had a seizure . The Neurologist took me off Primidone and put me on Topiramate 100mg twice daily. I could feel my change confusion,loss appetite and then 32 days later I had a seizure worse than the one earlier . I went back to him and he took me off topiramate and increased my primidone to 2x250mg primidone twice /day for total of 1000mg primidone along with the original dilantin.I am just starting to feel normal again like I did for the past 43 yrs. with no side affects that I am aware of yet plus it was something that I was taking for years and never noticed any of the side affects listed."


"I had my first (and only so far) panic attack April 14,2014. I thought I was having a heart attack and had my husband take me to the E.R.  After EKG was cleared the doctor gave me 2 Xanax and told me I suffered from a panic attack. I have not been the same since. I have had anxiety, arm pain and jaw pain (from tension), heart palpitations, hot flashes etc. I saw my doctor and she set me up with Hydroxyzine and it has been a life saver. 25mg up to 4 times A day as needed. I sleep great and function mostly every day normally. Every now and then I have a bad day , but very far and few between. 100% recommended to everyone."


"this nasal spray has been life changing for me. having suffered with allergy problems all year round for over 25 years ( constant sneezing,runny nose,itchy eyes and headaches) all of these symptoms have completely stopped. in short a miracle drug!!!!!"


"Nexplanon works fantastic. I have had it for two years, and it has done its job. However, I haven't had a period for two years, I have no sex drive at all, and I've gained 50+ pounds( but I have a slow metabolism to begin with) other than that, no problems at all."


"After four days on Cefdinir, I developed bad diarrhea that had me going 30+ times to the bathroom. Went to the doctor to find out I had developed a severe case of C. Diff. I was very weak, lost 10 pounds in a week and as pale as can be.  Metronidazole was the first medicine we tried, three times a day for 10 days. It seemed to work until five days after the prescription was finished. So then I went back to the doctor and got Vancomycin which finally cured it. Overall, I had to miss almost a month of school and took a while to feel normal again. I was told once you get C. Diff you are more prone to getting it again. Always take a probiotic when prescribed an antibiotic to replenish the lost bacteria!"


"I was previously on Loestrin FE for about 2 years. I had no side effects with this medication at all! So, one day I went to pick up my auto-fill prescription about 2 months ago and the pharmacist informed me that the prescription had been switched to Blisovi, but it's the same exact medication. Oh no it isn't! I've had a headache (varying from severe to mild) every single day. I'm tired, hungry, my back aches more than usual, gained about 10 pounds, broke out on my face, and this headache is a nightmare. I was beginning to think I'm going crazy until I read similar reviews. I was getting so mad over stupid stuff and crying out of nowhere. My boyfriend has handled it like a champ, but hopefully won't have to for long because I'm switching!"


"Just started it a few days ago. Feel a bit nauseated for an hour or 2 after taking it and then it goes away. I'm starting to feel better already. Wasn't expecting the price to be so high when I got to the pharmacy. I am taking it with 75mg of Effexor XR and Xanax for my very severe anxiety when needed. Hopefully it's a good combo. Just wish it was cheaper!"


"I have been on Savella for about a month and I must say there is a improvement in my pain level. The only side effect at first was nausea and then that went away after the first couple of weeks because the body needed to get used to it but after you are over that hump the only side effects for me was hot flashes and sweats. However, to be out of pain is all that I care about. I was out of work for a year and a half and now I'm able to function and work again. I thank God for Savella and my Doctor who suggested it. She has never steered me wrong. To anyone who has Fibromyalgia please try this medicine and give it a little while to work. Stick out the side effects the first couple of weeks and the pay off is wonderful."


"My vagina has now experienced what hell is like.  I'm certain this product is made from straight gasoline and the applicator is the lighter.   The first and last time I treat a yeast infecrion using OTC medications.  I don't think a firehose can put out the fire I am experiencing.   Thanks for nothing Monistat 3 day."


"I would advise to take caution when reading other people's comments. Like any doctor will mention to you, all medications affects others differently and they will have side effects.

To give my short story: it was my first birth control and I have been taking it for 1.5 years.

Pros: less to little acne, no headaches, less cramps, prevented pregnancy every time, lighter periods (this was a plus!)

Cons: more emotional during period, 5lb weight gain (I am also in college, so that could be an aiding major factor), sometimes less sex drive EXCEPT around my period

Again, just because some people had issues with it doesn't mean you'll have the same. Try it out for yourself if you're considering this bc brand and talk with your doctor!"


"I have been taking Brisdelle for 1 year. Hot flashes are mostly gone, I have one occasionally usually in the morning. I ran out and my DR had written prescription for 1 year. I had to call and wait 4 days for the refill. Holy cow was I miserable and within 2 days the flashes were back full force. I am back on it. I do have joint pain in my ankles in the morning, not sure if its the drug or not but interesting others have the joint pain. I also am struggling to lose weight when it used to be so easy, Brisdelle to blame or menopause or both. Its a good drug and does what it says for me. I will continue taking it. By the way I have a coupon from their website and only pay $25 a month for it. It is costly w/no coupon."


"I am on a 1mg dose of xanax on and off for about a year for imsonia, night panics and generalized anxienty. And I can say this is the best pill. Worked great for me. It helps me feel calm allday and relaxed during the night so I can get the sleep I need. Gives me energy during the day when I drink green tea early morning."


"I was prescribed Cheratussin AC for a cough due to acute bronchitis. However, it seems to make the cough worse. My body wants to cough up phlegm, and the medicine tries to suppress the coughing reflex. That makes my body try even harder to cough up phlegm, and just ends up giving me a headache and a throat that hurts more."


"My 14 year old son has been taking Ritalin for a year now. He is so much under control now. An excellent student in school. A huge change from before."


"I have been sick with cyclical vomiting disease for about 10 years, loosing 10 pounds about every 8 or 9 months and being nauseous from 1 week to 1 month at a time. Since i've been on amitriptyline I have not been sick any more. I do eat more and have gained weight but not being nauseous anymore is wonderful. I actually was considered anorexic for a while because I was so skinny and couldn't eat. Thank you doctors."


"I have been on this medication for about 2 months now. I was taking prednisone before but that wouldn't help much. After the second week of taking methotrexate I can honestly say I am pain free. I can actually enjoy doing all the stuff I used to do before being diagnosed with RA. Before starting this medication I would experience horrible pain in my shoulders, hands, fingers, hips and ankles. I would have a rough time getting through the day. This medication works wonderfully."


"Great Medicine. I have herniated discs and take it with Percocet, and am able to relax."


"I have only been on Celexa for 4 days. I take 10mg. I sleep very little,  sweating, naseau and have become very anxious about everything.  I do drink a lot of water. I just want to feel like myself again."


"So i took some antibiotics due to getting one of my wisdom teeth removed (couldn't afford all of them taken out same time) anyways i notice early symtoms of a YI thanks to my first YI experience with my first wisdom tooth removal following antibiotics but this is my first time using miconazole 3 day brand over monastat and no joke it burned and itched intensely for the first couple of minutes but now the itch is gone and just a dull burn that is manageable. Im so glad i found this page thanks ladies"


"I'm only 17 and I am always constipated. I've tried fiber one bars, miralax, and 4 water bottles a day. (Not all at once) but after not having a bowel movement after one week I decided to try milk of magnesia. My great grandma swore by it and my mom picked it up and told me to give it a shot. I took 1 tbsp at about 11pm and went to bed. Woke up and didn't feel the urge. Took 1 tbsp at about 9 am and had a satisfactory BM in 30 minutes. This stuff is great."


"I was prescribed Qsymia back in January but did not start taking it until 3/23/14 starting weight 292 I am now down to 228. I have never felt better my A1C was 6.6 in January in July it was 5.6 hoping when I go on November to be completely rid of this diabetes nonsense. I feel fantastic. I had minor side effects tingly toes and dry mouth but that went away after the first week. Hoping my doctor will keep me on until my goal weight of 180/190. Since she said I could be on it for a year.  I only pay 10 dollars for 30 pills which is great but with my old insurance it was 80 that is why I took so long to start it."


"I have been on Contrave one pill a day for 1 week and have lost 3 lbs so far.  No lasting side effects except a bit of nausea one day...not sure why.  I have not had a problem with constipation. I think because I make myself Almased protein drink for breakfast every morning. As for nausea, a friend has told me to take Maitake mushroom supplement.  It has been know to help nausea and weight loss."


"Initially I thought it was the miracle drug. Then 7 months after I started using it I started to have unusual back pain and sensitivity to my spine and numbness and tingling to the bottom of my feet. I took the ring out and started to have immediate relief and 2 days later my back pain was totally gone."


"This medication works perfectly for me, I am taking 300 mg/day since day 1 because my H1C was 10.8 and after 3 months is 6.3 I lost 30 pounds, eating better, but not a hard diet and exercising 2 times a week. Of course I feel thirst, some issues with yeast infection, but all worth!"


"I'm on my 11th day (out of 20 days) taking Avelox and it works, beside having a headache and shortness breathing everything seems to be working great. After 10 days of taking it my pneumonia was 75% better."


"I've have the NuvaRing for about 2 weeks now and I LOVE IT. I was very skeptical about having a foreign object in my vagina, but my doctor was persistent. Boy am I glad he did that, I hated the pills! Everyone must remember that not all birth control is for everyone, you have to find the one that works for you! I've tried Yaz.. gave me chest pains and loss of sex drive. I've tried the Depo shot and bleed/spotted for 3 months! I've tried Lo-Loestrin and had breakthrough bleeding. I cannot feel the NuvaRing at all, and neither can my partner. I have been eating a little more, but no weight gain except my breasts and no complaints there. These reviews are personal experiences, not good for every individual (remember that)."


"Hi,so I got the implant  put in February 2015 due to getting into a serious relationship  at first it was fine my monthly  (sorry TMI) was cominh every month yes give or take a couple of days, then in August was when I had it last. For 2 months no period at all I started to get paranoid thinking I might be pregnant or the other medication I am on made it ineffective, but when I woke up this morning at first felt the same symptoms with tge nausea and lightheaded, my stomach feels hard to touch then suddenly my monthly came back after 2 months now im not sure if this is because of the implant or if theres something going on with my body all i know is that thus implant is causing me a lot of headache as i never know when my monthly will show"


"I was in a really bad spot with the constant anxiety and panic attacks.  It was affecting every aspect of my life negatively.  At first I slept a lot, which wasn't necessarily bad since I hadn't been sleeping anyway.  Sex was a little off, but at least I feel a lot better and don't feel like I could jump out of my skin 24 hours a day.  I hate that I have to take something, but it's much better than the alternative!"


"I have been taking this birth control for a little under a year and just found out I'm pregnant. I've taken this pill religiously at the same time every night bc I DID NOT want to get pregnant. Well it happened anyway. Now I'm going to have two under 2!!"


"I chose this also to lessen periods. Inserted March 2015. I'm 47, have had no children & have a womb which tilts towards my back Insertion was horrendous & as I have arthritis, I'm used to pain. Severe cramping afterwards, eased after a few days. Ocasional cramps since. First month very light period nothing since - that's the good news for me! I've been on the mini-pill before & had bad side effects. No greasy hair/skin, no mood swings/low libido/insomnia, but the weight gain has been rapid. I've gone from a uk 14 to a 16/18 without changing my eating habits or levels of physical activity. It seems to be concentrated around the stomach. I'm now obese & struggling to find a strategy to lose the weight. Advantages outway weight gain for now."


"I'm 38 years old and I'm wish I had found this sooner. I remember going to the Prom and being so embarrassed because I was sweating so much I didn't want to lift my arms up to dance.  I've only used it for 4 days (every other day) and I just can't believe it!  I put it on the first night - a little burning but it wasn't that bad.  The next morning I was so scared to go anywhere without a regular deodorant but I couldn't believe I didn't sweat the whole day!  It really works!  I've been stuck trying tons of regular deodorants over the years and nothing has worked.  I'm dry and smell good now."


"I am 45 and have been on Loestrin for 2 months to help the  horrific monthly cramps that I have had since the ablation I had 9 months ago. It has helped reduce the cramps but not stop them. I haven't noticed any help in the bust department, sigh. I would have loved to have that side effect."


"Im a 17 year old girl and focalin was the first medication I ever used to treat my ADHD. It was the worst! Like many others, I felt extremely anxious. I also constantly would feel unattached to the world. Even worse, it didn't even help me focus! I was too busy having overwhelming feelings of anxiety to be focused. However, I wouldn't say you shouldn't try this medication as it seems to work for others. I just know that if you feel any sense of anxiety, it's abnormal. I'm on vyvanse now and I have no problems with anxiety. Just a few minor symptoms, but it works great."


"Back when Stelara was first approved for psoriasis, my dermatologist went ahead and put me on it.  I cleared in one shot, took the next 2, and we laid off.  Minor side effects - some swollen tonsils and sinus issues. Fast forward a year and half - went back on it - after my second shot, I spent the next 6 months going through a continual round of sinus infections that required injected antibiotics, and got confirmed influenza A despite being vaccinated.  Tests showed likely my immune system couldn't handle.  "


"I was reading some of these comments and thought to myself, why would these women take plan B if he didn't cum inside then say "oh it worked". Makes me laugh. If you are going to write a review about this, I don't want to hear about how it worked even though he technically didn't ejaculate inside.  ALSO it would help a lot of women if you stated when you where ovulating or where you are at on your cycle. THANK YOU. I took this pill 2 hours after my bf finished INSIDE ME, not pre jizz, not thought he did, he did! anyways, we did it on May 9th, expected to start my period May 16th (one week later). So I took this pill a week after I ovulated. SIDE EFFECTS: hot flashes, short cramps for like 2 seconds, and acne, also moody."


"This is the best medication that I've tried after nine years of enduring severe chronic pain in my back and neck due to a severe almost fatal car accident. Its also been very effective in treating my fibromyalgia pain, which began four years ago. My problem with all of the other pain analgesics is that the pain relief that I was able to get at higher doses didn't last more than a few hours and they were far more expensive to get filled, while with methadone its very efficient in the length of time it helps minimize my pain and it is costs $50 (monthly prescription) compared to the expensive narcotics I was given in the past that ran up to $800 for just one months worth and were not effective in managing my Pain issues."


"I was really worried about taking this medication. I was on birth control and was very moody and emotional and gained about 15 pounds so I went off it and didn't get my period for over 6 months. I was told to take this pill for 10 days and I would get my period 3 to 4 days later. I took it and sure enough... 4 days later, I got it. Very few side effects just that I was tired. My period is kind of heavy but it has been 6 months so I have to make up for lost time. I practically had no cramps and feel so much better than I thought I would. Definitely would highly recommend it. I had a very positive experience."


"Okay, so basically: my psychiatrist prescribed this as a way of managing my situational/social anxiety. He said its ability to lower the sympathetic nervous system response would help. Indeed it did. BUT EVEN BETTER: I have had ocular migraines with auras and the works for the last several years. I thought they were infrequent, but because they mostly affect my neck and eyes I have a hard time telling. I didn't realize this drug could be used for migraine treatment, but I took it for anxiety and suddenly realized that, for the first time in quite a while, my head didn't vaguely hurt. I think I may have been experiencing some semi-chronic moderate ocular migraines without realizing it, and this took the worst of it away! I'm tickled."


"I love this mirena. I got the mirena nov 2009 and I plan on keeping it for the whole five years. When I first got it put in, it really hurt and I had the bad cramps for a day or too. After a few days the pain went away. Now I have light spotting once a month for a couple of days but this is way easier than the pill, the patch or any other birth control. I don't feel my strings but I have the doctor check for them every so often to make sure that everything is ok, and maybe sometimes I can't be so ruff during sex but in the end it is all worth it because I have one 3 yr old son and that is all I want for now until my 5 yrs with this mirena is up."


"I've been on this for less than a month. I was recommended by my doctor and after considering the patch, chose Nexplanon because of its convenience. I don't have to do anything at all. Nothing to remember. In the first couple weeks, I noticed some mood swings, but that could have been because of the amount of stress I was under (college). I have had frequent brown discharge but I've read that that's just my system regulating and clearing out the old blood. Other than that, no problems. I'm due to get my period tomorrow but am not having any of the normal symptoms, so I don't think it'll come."


"Had this infection twice smh.. Took Two 500mg of Azithromycin which is 1 gram 30 minutes after eating a big meal (as directed by doctor) first time I had minor side effects. Just a bit of gagging but nothing came out. This time I felt horrible.Stomach cramps, Nausea, diarrhea and felt very weak. Took the pills around 8:15 pm it's now 10:23pm and I'm feeling a little better. Ran to the toilet once because of the diarrhea. Hopefully this medicine works a second time."


"I am 27, and got my Paragard IUD in 2011. I've been sexually active since 16, and used a couple brands of bc pills before the IUD. As a young person, I was irresponsible about consistently taking my pills, and think it's a miracle I never got pregnant. In college I learned about the IUD in a Women's Studies course, but I never asked a doctor about it. I wish a doctor would have considered an IUD in consultations about my sexual health as a young person! Best decision I've made. The procedure was easy. 30 minutes after the procedure, extreme cramping set in- Ibuprofen, heating pads, and someone to listen to you whine will be very helpful. Periods are heavy/long/crampy, but I'm so happy to be hormone, worry, and pregnancy free."


"I originally started on the 1/20 dose, moving up to the 1.5/30 because my doctor made an error on my script. I am very happy with this bcp, as it reduced my awful cramps, and heavy menstruation. I have 2 day periods now, little to no cramping. My acne has cleared almost completely other than the once a month breakout on my chin that I feel is unavoidable and I'd rather be on a pill that takes care of most of my acne, rather than no acne at all. I occasionally will have breast tenderness, but not every month and I don't really notice it when it does happen. Also, my symptoms of PMS have decreased significantly. My only complaint is that I do get headaches that may be caused by this pill, but I cannot say for sure that they are."


"Not really sure how to rate this. I have plaque psoriasis. My doctor prescribed me the Humira. After my first 2 starter doses I started to notice some hair loss. Then I took my first single dose. Noticed even more hair loss. When I washed my hair it was coming out in clumps. Drain was full of hair. So, I stopped the humira and had to switch to another medication. Not sure if this medication would have worked or not. Wasn't able to use it long enough."


"I have a vast array of psych problems from ADD to OCD to suicidal ideation.  Adderall was the first wonder pill for me. It made every other medicine I was taking more tolerable and more effective. It caused my mind to stop racing so bad.  Adderall changed my life."


"I've had migraines with aura since my early 20s (I'm 45 now). Over the past few years their frequency had increased.  As of December 2013, I was having them about 2- times per week.

I was put on Nortriptyline 50 mg/day.  I have had only one migraine in the past 14 months (and the one I had was when I tried to reduce the dosage).

The dry mouth & orthostatic hypotension have stopped.  The only problem is that I really cannot drink very much alcohol."


"I have  used the  250/50 disks but I don't use it as much as  I'm prescribed "


"hey everyone I weight 239 the day I started adipex its been 5 days and I just checked the scale I've lost 5 lbs! My first goal is to make it to 160lb being 27 and 5'8 then hope to get to 140lb! My mom refered me to adipex because she is 57 and with in less then a year on this she looks amazing . I have two children the youngest being 9 mths I've gained so much weight, but the news of already losing 5 lbs makes me hopeful!  I have dry mouth and trouble sleeping I'm making myself drink more water to help lose weight and with the thirst. I take a half with breakfast and a half at lunch and it helps a lot but my problem is with eating a dinner and eating a late dinner so I will work harder on will power."


"I had Hep C G4 2 for 40 years. I am into my 8th week of the 12 week Epclusa treatment. I'm having terrible gas pains. My viral load started at 90,000+ and was down to 20 as of my last blood test. My next blood work is this week. I still have no energy. I was disappointed since my viral load is so low. I thought I would have more energy by now but I  the medication is causing fatigue. I’ve been through chemo so these side effects don’t seem so bad. I've no nausea. I had headaches and gas pain since day 1. I've been chewing Gas-X and also using Digest Zen essential oil but nothing is working 100%. I have had skin issues inside my right arm along the vein. It was swollen and itchy. I had to get a grant to cover the co-pays."


"Neurontin made me very hostile. I don't know if it was because I am also on Lithium, Desyryl and Seroquel but I did not like my mood changes although it did help my pain by about 30 percent."


"3 rounds of chemo with completely uncontrolled vomiting. Using this little miracle patch, NO VOMITING on round 4."


"So I was on the pill first, which was terrible because it gave me depression and I found myself sad all the time(Early 2015). So I switched to the Nexplanon since I thought it be easier than taking a pill everyday. Started that around April 2015? And well so far so good, in the beginning I spotted a bit here and there and now I haven't had my period since August 2015 I believe. What's concerning me now is I feel lazy to even exercise or do what I use to do, so I don't know if its giving me depression or I just need to take vitamins... Anyways other than that I think its great."


"23 year old here, had the nexplanon 3 years before just having it removed. I absolutely loved it, I don't have a thing bad to say about it"


"I was initially given amoxicillin for my UTI but after 3 days, I still had a fever, cloudy urine and overall blahs.  Went back to Dr. and was given Cipro.  Wow...less than 24 hours later, fever is gone and urine is clear.  I do have a headache but I don't know if that is from Cipro or from sleeping so much.  The list of side effects are a bit scary but so far, no problems."


"Prozac saved my life! 20 mg. I'm on week three. I was out of work for months and couldn't think clear. Then on the third week I woke up, finally got out of my bed and pursued looking for work. Got hired that same day! Yay! I encourage you to stay on Prozac for three weeks to take effect."


"I've been taking Savella for a little over 3 months.  I have to admit, the painful episodes of Fibro have been minimized but, when I do have one, they are more extreme then before taking the medication.  Will talk to Doctor about dosage.  I am currently on 50 mg twice a day and I am scared to take more as I also have the sweats and they last for up to 3 hours."


"I had lost about 40 pounds before I started taking megestrol. I am a big eater, my body just never gained the weight. The drs had tried other medications, but none of them worked. On Oct 13, 2016, I went to the Dr and she prescribed me the megestrol. I had lost too much weight. About 3 weeks later, I had a drs appointment & had gained about 10 pounds !!! I was so happy. I finished up the rest of my prescription and went for the checkup I was to have a month after taking it. The Dr was very pleased with the results. She wrote out another prescription with refills and I plan to keep taking it. It is the only thing that has worked for me & is the generic form. Try it"


"I was in so much pain from my knees with arthritis, bone rubbing on bone - I had my first set of injections in April.  I took a month or so to really fell the effects.  No more pain and swelling when standing and doing house cleaning, etc.  I had the second set 6 months later.  I can go up and down stairs.  I can do house work, gardening, and shopping with minimal pain.  Best thing I ever did for myself."


"I have type two diabetes. I was diagnosed after treatment for leukemia. My Dr. prescribed Metformin for my first treatment option. After many changes in dosage and five years A1C was never below 7. Finally I was given long acting Metformin and immediately started gaining weight. Called my Doc and expressed my concerns. Was then prescribed Invokana. I lost nine pounds in 3 months with no side effects."


"I LOVE THIS PILL!!! I was having a continuous period for 3 weeks from taking Loestrin after deciding I would start birth control because of my irregular periods. Went back to my GYN told her that Loestrin wasn't working for me and that I was still bleeding. She then prescribed me Kariva cuz she said I needed a higher dose of estrogen. Kariva stopped my heavy period in 1 day. I will say that u will definitely notice a change within yourself when taking this pill, not in a bad way but u will feel the changes your body is making & a change in mood while your body starts to adjust. That was my only side effect."


"Marinol is a life saver.  Nausea is one of the worst feelings a person can experience.  Marinol eases the nausea quickly and even helps create an appetite."


"I'm 19 and have a 1 year old daughter I've had it close to a year and it's great, didn't hurt too bad to have it put in. Cramps for about 2 days off and on then stopped my period. I got it put in because I was super moody from my last birth control and constantly bleeding and now it's been awesome. Besides lately I've had lower back pain that won't go away and I haven't gained weight but I also can't seem to lose weight."


"I'm a combat veteran with PTSD. My dose was 25mg daily for 2 weeks, then 50mg daily. I Started out with severe headaches and diarrhea for the first 2 weeks. After that the headaches went away. However, I started vomiting every night and morning. Not just minor vomiting, but exorcist looking vomiting. Sometimes about a gallon. I would fill up my toilet pretty good. The diarrhea never went away. I was constantly dehydrated.

After a few months I couldn't take the side effects. Tapering off made my PTSD 1000% worse. I would have been better off not taking it at all.

Before you start SSRIs look up other people's horror stories. These things are worse than hardcore illegal drugs."


"After one month, hip pain and lower back pain dramatically improved. Haven't slept more than few hours for last 3 years due to severe pain and now I can sleep all night. Used to have monthly flare-ups of full body inflammation lasting 3-5 days. Fingers crossed... So far, no flare ups!"


"Couldn't believe it could be true but it was. Newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I read about Mucinex for fibromyalgia; read that it is a muscle relaxant and enhances the analgesic effect of aspirin and Tylenol; and is enhanced by magnesium.  Went out and bought the 800 mg with 2 aspirin and some magnesium citrate, and it worked!  The pain just seems to dissolve away.  I continue to take 800mg (2, 400mg immediate release tablets) with aspirin and magnesium, three times a day, or 1200 mg twice a day. "


"Just had the third shot today (12/3/09) I think I noticed a little improvement after the second shot, we will see how I feel in a few days.  I am sick of my knee hurting at age 59."


"I used it to detox off of oxycodone and Oxycontin on the highest possible dose."


"I've been on this birth control going on 4 months now . && I highly recommend.  I'm very allergic to birth control but this one is by far the best I've taken. I find I tend to eat a lot more than normal but that's on some days.  Some days you don't wanna eat at all . I'm going on my 4th pack and I haven't started a period yet . but there is a side affect of no periods .

I don't have any mood changes. No breakouts . Some cramps . But it's the price . Thank god for insurance. It would cost me $106.00/monthly. Other than that it's a great pill."


"I have been on this pill for 3 months and am now switching. I didn't get pregnant so that's the only advantage. My mood swings were out of  wack when I first started the pill. I have headaches, am tired all the time, tender boobs, severe cramping, bad acne and heavy periods. I ended up with a cyst in my left boob too. My sex drive increased and I was more wet during intercourse than my last pill. Everyone's body is different, this one wasn't right for me."


"I have been taking clonidine for over ten years. I was diagnosed with hypertension at young age and also struggle with ptsd, nightmares, anxiety, and insomnia. This medicine is so helpful to me in many ways. It helps me sleep, it eases anxiety and controls my blood pressure very well still. I have to take my full dose (.04 mg) at night or else I get too sleepy taking half in morning. The only complaint I have is withdrawal is very unpleasant if I miss even one dose. Always have it with you in case you can't get home because it can make your b/p spike and make you very jumpy and anxious."


"Good product"


"I have not gotten pregnant and no side effects."


"I actually miss taking Accutane. I finally decided to take it after years of bad cystic acne and nothing else working. It took about a month to start working but I was only on 20mg a day. It was a Godsend. Despite being on such a low dose of it (I think the average is 40mg a day), accutane worked wonders. The only side effects I had were dry lips and dry skin, both of which were worse in the winter (Thanks Chicago). Since going off it, I get little pimples again and my oily skin and hair came back. I wish I was still on Accutane because it was nice not having oily skin lol."


"I have been taken Klonopin for 20 years, it all started because I lost function of both my inner ears and had no balance. The ear specialist concluded that there was no treatment available for this condition so my stress and anxiety level landed me in a pain clinic where medicine, exercise, counseling and diet did the trick. In three days I was back to normal. What I later found out is that Clonazepam was not only very effective for my balance disorder but it took the anxiety away. Today I  take 2mg a day in two or three dosages and feel completely normal. When stress increases I slightly increase the dosage. I take it with Lexapro so as not to end in depression. The secret, for me, is daily exercise (walking), and Clonazepam/Lexapro10mg."


"Be careful with this drug"


"I've had Implanon since September 2014. When I first got it, the week after I got my period and it lasted for 10 days. Then I didn't get my next period until November. Sometimes when I have sex I get this bad sharp pain in my abdomen. This has never happened prior to the Implanon. My period skips two months at a time before it comes back again. When it comes back sometimes I have it and my cycle is regular or much longer than usual. I don't know if it's spotting or bleeding but I'll get my period, be good for a week then it comes right back, then be gone for a week and come back again. Very very frustrating. I'm hoping others can relate. Overall, I like it. I'm not pregnant and I feel sure of the protection it's providing."


"I have pes anserine bursitis of the knee.   It like tendonitis below the knee cap.   I have effectively used Voltaren Emulgel to help reduce the pain and inflammation.   The pain can keep me up at night when I sleep.    Best thing for recovery is rest,   but I can't seem to stay away from doing cardio which causes it to come back.    Voltaren has helped me manage the inflammation and still do some light cardio exercise."


"I quit in 1997 using Zyban.  The only problem I had was my hands shaking and I went to 1 pill per day vs. 2 and I was fine. I never looked back and was so grateful for this drug."


"I get severe headaches from this medicine"


"What a difference the Oxytrol patch has made in my life. I was having to go to the bathroom 10 to 12 times in an afternoon. Since using the patches, I only go about 4 times. I have had no side effects."


"My mother started taking Tarceva after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. So far she is doing okay - very chilled and developed a rash on her face which they say is not uncommon. Took her off of it for a few days to clear up the rash and hopefully she can continue. Her cancer travelled to her brain so we had a few more set backs but they tell us Tarceva has been known to help the brain in some cases just praying for the best."


"I got the implant back in Feb this year , a few days after Having a baby .well I look pregnant again .I'm not happy with gaining weight"


"I am the mother of an adult son that has been taking this medicine for over 2 years.  It has done wonders !!!  He has remained stable on this medicine.  He takes 2 10 mg doses at night with trazadone, lamictle, welbutrin and valium.  Right after taking his meds he does get the munchies and right after he is asleep - He functions very well during the day - is attending college full time going for his bachlors - Because he has done so well he was determined no longer disabled and lost his health insurance - the cost of this out of pocket her in VA is 1300.00.  He has applied for the assistance program and we are hoping - he doctor did give him samples and he is good for at least 2 months - if not maybe I will check into a Canadian pharmacy"


"2 months after i broke up with my ex he told me I had chlamydia , I went the the sexual Heath clinic after the doctors telling me I had to pay. I got checked for everything and only came out with chlamydia & they gave me some tablets called DOXYCYCLINE. I was totally fine for the first few days until I woke up one morning and took two tablets (I forgot to take my tablet the night before) and I got ready to go to work. Just belfore I set off to work my throat felt really weird and stiff when I swollowed & my stomach was killing me but I ignored it and got in the car to work , I didn't even get to the end of my street without me being sick so I drove back home got in bed & was having cold sweats. HAVE PROTECTED SEX!!"


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for a year now. A couple weeks into the first month I felt  really sick, I was  extremely bloated, and threw up a few times. But after that it has been great. It has reduce my periods from 7-8 heavy days to 1-3 light days.
It costs $23 dollars for me every month with insurance, and the coupon my obgyn gave me. The only semi-bad part to this is that you don't get your period every month. I've gone 3 months straight without having a period which can be scary at times. Also, I used to be 96 lbs. and since then I gained 8 lbs. I'm not sure if it's because of the pill or because of my eating habits. My sex drive hasn't changed either."


"I took'm 1978. One a day. I wanted to loose 30 pounds 3 months after my delivery of my second child. I took diet pills back on the 60s and 70s, by doctors with no restrictions. I was 26, my body tolerated them well. Not Mentally,  I feared gaining weight. I was hooked. It did affect me mentally. Yeah, It gave me energy. Energy any mom with two kids and a baby that worked, kept a house clean Etc.. I was tired but down to 130 on two months, But I couldn't give them up. I took them for over a year got down to 114. Tight muscles and looked great. But I crashed after the divorce and ended up on a pysc ward with severe depression, don't take them!! I got cancer a few months later. They are as addictive as speed. Loose weight the healthy way!"


"Have taken contrave 1 1/2 years. The first year I lost 45 lbs.  the last 6 months have gained back 20lbs. The first month I will admit I had headaches. I almost quit. Glad I did not!! I experienced constipation. I needed more water and fiber. I really watched my fats and carbs. Lately I've not done as well with sweats and the fats. I need to be more consistent. I also need to add more exercise. I walk on treadmill but need more cardio. All in all happy but need to be stronger for me."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"After one month I began noticing a difference. I was still getting breakouts, but they were healing faster and were not painful anymore. By two months I still was getting pimples but they were tiny, and vanishing overnight. Then after that, it stopped all together. I don't currently have a single pimple on my face and my post acne marks have had the chance to fade over the last three weeks. I'm finishing up my third month on the pill this week.
Side Effects: At first I felt a bit drowsy, had spotting the first two months, and breast tenderness. But these symptoms seem to be fading just like my acne.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone who thinks they may have hormonal acne. I only wish I had tried it sooner!"


"I have been using Apri for 5 months, and having had any weight gain and no decrease in sex drive.  I have, however, experienced harsh emotional side-effects.  During the week of my period - as soon as I hit the 22 day - I am just ridiculously emotional.  I am irrational and will cry at the drop of a hat.  I'm worried about this having put me into a state of depression and am going to speak with my doctor soon about it.  This puts my boyfriend in a bad position because he never knows what to do and feels bad but gets frustrated with my being so irrational.  I'd be cautious taking it if you have ever had any experience with depression, cutting, etc."


"I wish I read the reviews before applying because I would have never applied it. It is painful and burning and I don't understand how it's allowed in shelves. Please never buy this. There's a 50% chance you will feel this hot cheeto inflammation instead of relief."


"Last winter, a number of extremely stressful events sent me into an emotional and psychological tailspin.  I began having anxiety attacks and intrusive thoughts, which were hellish.  I awoke every morning with a feeling of utter horror.  Finally, I saw a psychiatrist who prescribed Lexapro.  He warned me that the side effects could be awful and to start slowly.  I began with 2.5mg and increased by 2.5 every 5 days, or after side effects subsided.  They included:  WORSE anxiety, WORSE intrusive thoughts, extreme drowsiness during the day and a "caffeinated" feeling at night.  But, slowly this went away.
1 month later, the terrible thoughts are GONE.  Anxiety almost vanished. I am coping, and sleeping well.  So, so grateful.  LIFE-CHANGING!"


"I have been using Kariva for five months now and it's been pretty good. I had some itching, mood swings, spotting and lowered sex drive in the first two months. After the first three months all the side effects were gone and I've been feeling great with the pill ever since. I had no weight loss or gain and over all good health. Just wanted to share."


"After stomach surgery & stool softener & 5 days of not going I called the doctor and he put me on a  powdered laxative that I took for 3 days & still didn't go 8 days later I found myself in more severe pain and pushing to go with no relief was so bad I was crying and couldn't get off the bowl for 4 hrs finally. I got the fleet enema & was able to do it by myself (that was a relief) it was very easy & painless ( I feared it would be painful ) with in 1 min of finishing the solution I felt I had to go 1st it came out watery and then it broke my plug (that hurt a little as it was hard nothing as bad as the constipation pain) I went for about 10 mins I was sweating like crazy after I was very shaky for a hr. It was amazing and helpful"


"This medication is horrible and she be taken off the market. I bought this to treat a yeast infection. I used it and it burned horribly and then the next day my vagina was swollen and red. I could hardly walk. This product put me in much worst pain than the YI. I wanted to right this review because I hate taking medications and try natural remedies first I read all the reviews and decided to give it a chance worst mistake ever and if I can save someone the pain I'm currently in I will gladly do it. Going to the doc in 2 days to see what this product did to me"


"I got pregnant while on this damn Xulane patch. Not effective for me at all.."
