"Its been a week and took my second injection. My hungry is practically nothing and i need to remind myself to eat. Now my morning reading is 172 from 207 and after two hours its 135-145 range. I have lost 7lbs in one week! No side

effects except some diarrhea. Im feeling better day by day. Switched my diet to less

carbohydrates so i do not have a rollercoaster of numbers. Feeling less tired also. Will post more in a week."


"I was getting extreme migranes everyday all day with no relief for over three months going to back and forth to the ER, even had an scans because I thought I had a tumor or cancer finally went to see a neurologist he gave me nortiotyline for 3 months and tordal for pain, within days I was feeling better and and by two weeks they were completley gone.. This is the best medicine."


"I had the Implanon in 2010 6 weeks after I had my daughter, Since then I have not been able to lose much weight and have mood swings, along with no sex drive. I have been feeling like I am not myself. I am not ever again getting this birth control. I have periods that may be light but go on for months. I want my old self back and plan on getting it taken out soon."


"I swear by this stuff. (I'm talking about Musinex's version of TheraFlu, it's fairly new-maybe last year it was put on the shelves) I have tried nearly every cold remedy in the history of the world from teas to drugs to more wholesome remedies but nothing has actually ever worked. This stuff actually reduces the duration of my colds and the severity of colds within the first day. Drink it in the morning and once before bed and you should be golden in 2 days. I'm more of that summertime cold-getter and it works like magic every time."


"Does what it says. Puts you right to sleep. "


"I told myself that if plan b worked for me id write a Re view so here i am. I took plan b on on Oct 13 after an incident and took one more pill the next day after that im not sure why i did that I just thought it would work better i guess... i had light bleeding a week after for like 3 days i got so happy thinking it was my period...But it wasnt it was just a breakthrough bleeding. I have been sick for 4 weeks after taking this pill and i was convinced i was pregnant i have had sore boobs for all those 4 weeks and have been feeling naseous every single day..and since its been 4 weeks i was sure i was pregnant..i also felt dizzy at times and very out of it..today 4 weeks after i started my period..so happy"


"My experience with Safyral had been an overall good one, but it didn't start out that way.  During the first month all through the second month I had horrible mood swings. Borderline depression it felt like.  But after the second month it went away, I started feeling better. I've had no acne. No weight gain. Lighter flows. So I guess this pill is different for everyone based on the other reviews, but this is a great one for me and I plan to keep using it for a long time."


"I have been on Femara for 3 months. After taking Tamoxifen for approximately 2 years, which I could not tolerate any longer, my oncologist put me on the Femara. While my hot flashes have pretty much disappeared, the joint and bone pain I am suffering is unbearable. My elbows, hands, fingers, knees, ankles and feet are the worse. In the mornings I cannot get out of bed. I take thyroid medicine in the morning and cannot open the bottle. It takes about 20 minutes before I can close my fingers or bend my toes. Nighttime is also bad. After sitting for short periods I cannot get up. I have never felt better in my life except for the constant agonizing pain. I am a very active 49 year old but feel like I am 90. This pain gets worse every day. I can only imagine what it will be like in 3 more months. I I am seeing my oncologist this week and am going to tell him I am stopping this drug. I believe the quality of my life is more important that the quantity."


"This drug is very useful because it works well without any dizziness / fogginess. Works well with my eye allergies."


"I can finally have days without flying off the handle! I would not want to do without it again. I can enjoy my family and my life!"


"I've been type 2 for over 12 yrs now. My glucose testing is anywhere from 15-21. I take Janumet, Glicizide Humalog x2 and lantus at bed, my doc started me on Jardiance 1.5 weeks ago and today my sugar was 5.6! This drug is amazing, but also I've cut out the sugared snacks and junk food. I feel amazing. My body is going through kinda of a shock because my levels were way outta whack. I recommend Jardiance to anyone that needs the boost."


"This medicine has destroyed my life. Yes it works well and yes I was able to sleep but tolerance build up quickly you need to keep increasing your dose. It might not increase and everyone but it did for me. It also ended up causing a major depression from use which I cannot get out of. I also went through the worst withdrawal trying to get off of this and I am still unable to sleep since using it. I think it affected my brain's chemistry. I literally only sleep 5 to 6 hours a week since quitting. I know the Temptation could be great to start it because as I said it works for insomnia and anxiety but be warned it is nearly impossible to get out of your life. I'm currently on family medical leave from work trying to get my life back together"


"Worked great for ADHD! Did cause migraines to be more frequent and is expensive, but does do wonders for inattention."


"Seroquel XR has relieved much of my daytime anxiety, and all of my night time panics, and my panic upon waking.
I will add that this is in conjunction with minipress am/noon/night, and hydroxyzine."


"I was being treated in the ER for a bad gallbladder, and Pancreatitis. First they tried Morphine. It made me drunk but didn't touch the pain. Next she shot a big load of Demerol into my I.V. In ten seconds all my pain was gone! I only gave the Demerol an 8 because within 24 hours it stopped working for me. My Doctor then put me on Dilaudid. That fixed me good! I was on it for three days with some other I.V. Medicines to kick it in. He then took the gallbladder out and sent me home with two weeks worth of Dilaudid for pain. All these drugs are great but be careful."


"It is for the person who cannot turn off their racing thoughts at night long enough to fall asleep or the person once asleep stays asleep.  You need to take it on an empty stomach or at least after merely a light non fatty meal for dinner.  If you eat mcdonalds the night of or something like that forget about it, you can take five of them and still not fall asleep.  So if prescribed it and falling asleep is your main issue or you use it only when you need sleep for a big event next day eat light that evening or just eat big lunch then take on empty or near empty stomach.  Only has about a two hour life and zero half life so take your butt to bed once it kicks in"


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"Was given this medication as an liquid form along with a couple of other liquid medications. I had to drink like a half of gallon non stop, but within 5 to 10 minutes my Irritable Bowel Syndrome relaxed and I started flautuating like crazy in the emergency room in front of the doctor and nurse. The doctor said that's what we wanted. Within 1 hour my IBS was completed gone. The problem now is my doctor prescribed me Donnatal and the prescription is $600.00 with insurance, so now I'm back suffering with IBS day after day knowing if I could just get that medication I would be fine again. "


"RELAX!!!!! Plan b works. I too was worried for my life that it wouldn't but fortunately it did. Long story short I had intercourse with my gf. The condom broke and we didn't use birth control. Plus I made the mistake of finishing inside. I thought I was done for at the time. Until I realized that she was on the 8th day of her ovulation cycle when we had intercourse and that on the 9th day I gave her that single plan b pill. About a month later her period finally came and it all was behind us. Best $50 spent."


"I have chronic cervical stenosis & degenerative joint disease.
All the opiates (Vicodin, Percocet, etc.) make me dizzy with unfavorable reactions.
I have been on Nubain for over 2 years & never had to increase the dose.
I can now be fully productive at work, it does not make me dizzy & has has no addictive feelings."


"I have been a diabetic for 51 yrs. I used Lantus as my bedtime insulin and Novolog on sliding scale for meals. I was taken off Lantus by Endo and replaced it with Tresibia. 1st day I noticed dizziness, 2nd day it was worse on 3rd day I can't walk across a room for I am going side ways. I am so sick for i feel like I am on a merry go round non stop. My BS dropped to 25 this morning and with the dizziness and this I was in a bad shape!!! Back to my Lantus I go and Tresibia is in TRASH where it belongs!!!!!!"


"crapped my pants on linzess smallest dose.  Doctors don't warn patients about fecal incontinence which is too bad.  Don't say you weren't warned!  Wear depends underwear if you take this drug."


"This medicine is great for chronic pain. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is a chronic pain sufferer. So please call your doctor or primary care physician.

"


"I started using phentermine 6/23/2010 my current weight was 196 and in 10 days I loss 14 pounds so I started taking it every other day so my body wouldn't get use to it. But then two weeks later I noticed that I haven't lost any more weight since then, so now I'm back on it everyday hopefully I can start losing at least 2lbs a week. Its now 7/20/2010 and I'm still at my weight of 184lbs (looks like I could have gained 2 pounds) but since I'm taking it everyday hopefully next week I start to see results again. I had minor side effects like dry mouth and a little light headedness when I stood up too fast, but overall if it keeps working I'm going to love it. My goal weight is 145-135 within the next three months. Hope I'm not rushing it. Ill keep you posted."


"Well my 1st pregnancy i went into preterm labor at 31 weeks. I had my baby at 32 weeks. I had a placenta abruption. Im pregnant again been taking the shots since 16 weeks and im 35 weeks today with one more shot to go. Makena has helped me. I never had contraction. And guess what im still not dilated. So glad i wont have another baby fighting for there life."


"Before I started taking birth control I have light-moderate acne. I originally started taking Alesse for contraceptive reasons, took that for 4 months, and it made my breakouts constant. I switched to Yaz, and within a week my acne was virtually gone. Towards the end of the month, around my period, the acne came back, but after the first week of the second pack, my acne was almost gone, and its been another full month and I only ever have an occasional break-out (usually a single pimple) that clears up in about a day or two."


"Gained a lot of weight on this pill. I'm always hungry. Absolutely no sex drive, which puts strain on the relationship. I'm on my last row of pills of the 3rd month and still no period. I'm fixed so I know I'm not pregnant. I will be stopping this pill once I'm done with this last pack."


"Some personal background: I'm 22, no kids, 115lbs, I work out 3x a week & eat moderately healthy, & my period has always been irregular. After 3 months of rarely using condoms & mainly relying on my bf's "pull out game," I got tired of being paranoid every month of the possibility of being pregnant, so I decided to go on the pill. First month, it was great! No side effect. I loved it. 2nd month, bloated + boobs swelled/tender + constipation. 3rd, all same side effects from 2nd month + mental & emotional instability + gained 15lbs. Although I never got pregnant & it regulated my period with perfect timing, I couldn't take it anymore! So I quit it after the end of my 3rd pack, & my body + mental health immediately went back to normal."


"Never took medication for this problem. Relied on Depends .  So far no side effects. - I am on my 6th. patch.   Just hope they continue to work ."


"A strong pill for erection but with some side effects.

12.5mg works great (strong erection) 30 min-1h before and lasts for 3h-4h. Its easy to recover erection but can be lost sometimes.

Side effects (0h-4h):
- Stuffy nose

Side effects (4h-12h):
- Stomach discomfort, indigestion
- Sleepiness, trouble sleeping

Tried Levitra, not strong as Viagra but some side effects.
I'm now trying Avanafil (25mg) and by now no side effects (maybe because it PDE5 highly selectivity) but lasts only 2h."


"Our mom has been on Seroquel for just over a year.  She was diagnosed with Sundowner Syndrome and hallucinates, becomes very fearful and afraid.  This has helped a great deal.  We have had to increase the dosage on few times. It has never made her sleepy however when she does go to sleep she gets good rest."


"After 5 months of sleepless nights I was prescribed mirtazapine yesterday. Must have slept through hot flashes last night and woke up only once. Was reluctant to resort to medications, but the sleep was so great that I'm doing it again tonight. Felt very dopey today, so let's see what tomorrow brings after having tried every SSRI on the planet."


"Been on farxiga 11 months. A1C went up instead of down.  Horrible yeast infections.  I did lose 10#. Have to go off because of unacceptable side effects. Love the weight loss."


"I used this for the first time last night and within one minute my skin felt like I had lit it on fire!  I followed the directions on the box to remove it but I suffered for hours.  My skin looked like I had sun poisoning. I almost made a trip to the ER.  Today my skin is still very tender.  I made a bad situation much worse.  Never, ever AGAIN!"


"I've being taking Synthroid for 3 years now. It was hard to reach the right dosage since I used to take Puran T4 (NOT marketed in the USA) 75 mg and had to adjust the Synthroid to 100mg instead. I've being feeling great since!"


"Have battled post traumatic osteoarthritis for years. Over the counter medicines not too effective and I have been through all of the other classes of prescription pain relievers. My doctor prescribed Nucynta (synthetic opioid), made me feel tired and most of the pain was still present. Finally switched me to Percocet, it is absolutely amazing. Although there is some pain occasionally for the most part it is gone and I have much more energy and my depression has lifted. I have also found that most doctor's resist prescribing it and take you through round after round of various pain medicines. With Percocet, I found that it works and I can finally take control of my pain. My days are filled with more vitality and enthusiasm."


"Well my dermatologist gave me this for inflammation on my face. NO EFFECT whatsoever! I don't have acne I have huge red spots slowly growing on my face & even make it swollen. I tried everything. An now this too. I think for 1st 2 days of use my skin got less red on top of my condition & thats about it. So far I'm on my 4th free sample tube just put it on all over my face twice a day as she told me & no changes, no improvements. Also no negative effects so far too - no irritation, dry skin etc. And I was stupid enough to buy 1 more tube in hope that it will surely work for the money I paid lol."


"Fast onset. Works very well for relieving pain. Lasts about 50 mins."


"I'm doing this for my dad. While he was taking the prescription for severe headaches, suicidal thoughts were an acute onset and he ceased the medicine immediately."


"Killed the sinus infection in about a day. I have had chronic sinusitis for 15 years, and this is my go-to medicine."


"I have been dealing with chronic pain for over 5 years, in which I've had to take opioids on and off. After 3 failed surgeries in attempt to relieve my pain, I decided to see a pain management Dr. who has put me on a daily regimen of opiates. I've tried Amitiza, Linzess, and of course fiber, Miralax, laxatives and enemas. None of these have worked like Movantik. It's been truly a miracle drug. I take it first thing in the morning with my other meds and coffee, but I don't eat until an hour later as the directions say, and it works every time. I've never had diarrhea, horrible stomach cramps, nausea, etc. It just makes me have a large, normal and complete BM in the morning and that's it. It's been a life saver for me."


"I am one of those sticklers who tries to follow every direction given by my physician.  When it came to treating the flu, I was certainly no different...until I took Tamiflu.  I felt so horrible the first two days with a fever of 100.2+, that I didn't know if it was helping or hurting. By day three, my fever broke (thanks to Advil) and every time I took Tamiflu, I nearly threw up, with or without food.  I am so nauseous that I can hardly move.  It made me very irritable and negative.  I only have three pills left, but I just cannot force myself to take them. Everyone reacts differently to medicine.  This is just my experience.  Good luck to the fellow flu survivors!"


"I was recently diagnosed at age 24 with Bipolar disorder (some paranoid features) co-morbid with Asperger's disorder. I have woken up in the morning all my life in an absolute rage, and my Bipolar has affected my life in more ways than I care to mention. I wish I would've known about my mental illness sooner- I thought everyone felt like I did. I have been on this medicine for a week, and for once in my life I wake up in a good mood, I stay in a good mood during the day, and am generally happy. I am extremely productive instead of either too manic or too depressed to function. The only bad thing is the akathesia, but worth it."


"My brother took this and felt very anxious, my only side effect is feeling super tired and kind of out of it.  It really helped my cough and I think it is starting to help with my chronic sinus infection.  I am allergic to Levaquin so I was nervous taking it since it is in the same drug family.  I did not have the same reactions that I had when I was taking Levaquin.  I have had 5 sinus infections in the past 6 months and the Z-pac has quit working....so overall things are getting better."


"I absolutely love this birth control.  All of my friends are on different birth controls and are always moody and more than half of them have gotten pregnant.  I have been on Trinessa for 9 months now and believe me it works! Plus I used to have extremely difficult periods. I would get 2 a month and they would last 9 days and now I have a normal period that comes once a month and only lasts about 5 days and no more getting sick and crampy either. Needless to say I thank my doctor every time I see her for introducing me to Trinessa. I now recommend it to all of my friends."


"At first I did not like it at all - I started off on 50mg (recommended) and found it wasn't working. I also was super spaced out, unfocused and constantly feeling like my brain was going but my body wasn't (It was WEIRD). This went on for about a week, then it worked perfectly and I was completely normal. However the migraines started coming back so I am now on 100mg a day and the same thing happened when I upped the dosage. It's working now though! I didn't notice any difference in tasting things but I did get tingles in my fingers and toes! Otherwise all round amazing medicine!!"


"So , after going to the doctor, I was prescribed 4 azithro pills along with some yeast infection medication. I only had oral intercourse since November with an old fling which I must have contracted it then and never was treated. So after taking the pills , I only felt nauseated for 3-5 mins and it has passed. I'm eating a bowl of cereal and I'm hoping I'm able to sleep through the light cramping and be infection free when I wake up tomorrow !"


"After about 20 puffs, it clogs up. Useless after that."


"Zip

Nada

Always used viagara but is really getting expensive. Tried this and nothing at all.

Back to vitamin V as all my friends call it ."


"I am amazed at how well Savella has been working for me so far. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia November 2008, but suffered 10 years before diagnosis...thought it was arthritis. I've been terrified to try any medications for it, because the side effects really scared me...pain kept getting worse, as my quality of life declined...doctor suggested Savella, and gave me a two-week titration pack. As far as side effects, I was pretty nauseous and sleepy, had zero appetite, and weird dreams...once or twice I felt my heart racing, but managed to bring it back to normal with some deep breathing exercises. After two weeks, I'm a little less sleepy...still not that hungry (ginger candy stops the nausea) and very little PAIN now...feeling great!"


"I started on Lyrica for my Simple Partial/Partial Complex seizures 5 years ago (by a previous neuro) and even though Lyrica was far from my current neuro's first choice he decided to keep me on it.  He immediately added Vimpat.  For the next 8 months, I had continued frequent spontaneous seizures and he persisted saying we just had to find the right dosage of both.  He'd change the dosage by 50mg increases, different times of day, etc.. 8 months of terrible short term memory, lethargy, and a rainbow of different types of seizures and as a last ditch effort he lowered my morning dosage by 50mg and I went from a zombie to ME again!  5 years and I had issues only when stressed or sensory over load.  But now they are sneaking back again..."


"This is a review from the care taker side, my wife Lori had been diagnosed with MS since 1996, she had been on Betaseron till 2011 when she switched to Gilenya. Over time she experienced hearing, vision, memory loss and extreme fatigue which all got worse, she was sleeping 16 to 18 hrs a day. I didn't realise these changes until she was got off Gilynea July 2016, over 6 months time she is a different person. So Gilynea worked, but it changes a person over time, in my case for the worse, she just took her first set of Lemtrada infusion, and in 1 year she will do her last set, and will not need a MS treatment again, we have high hopes for the future and looks promising so far."


"Very fast acting and accurate results."


"1 tablet 25 mg of hydroxyzine can control urticaria for a minimum of 3 days but for 2 days I have to sleep. Very effective for urticaria but the drowsiness side effect is hard especially for active, working women."


"I have been using Ambien CR for 3 years. I love it. I make sure to take it on an empty stomach and in 20-30 minutes I am asleep.  The only things I would warn about is: make sure you have at least 8 hours of sleep time, it doesn't work well if you eat before taking the pill, and I have done some things I have no memory of doing. My husband has tried Ambien CR and said it doesn't work on him. I would recommend Ambien CR to anyone who has trouble falling and staying asleep."


"I was proscribed by my doctor to take this stuff for my condition and I have only  used it for one day now. It does burn and can make you sore after use. I'm hoping it will work for me because I'm so tired of having these things. I will keep using it and let y'all know if I have any changes in condition good or bad."


"I am a long time sufferer from depression and anxiety and adhd and ptsd....well you name it I have been diagnosed it. I recently...like right now tried to get off celexa....head hurts so bad i cannot stand up. Been awful. Its been 3 days and i am throwing in the towel and going to go pick it up at pharmacy. Yes it works on depression and a tad for anger but I still do have episodes of anger and depression which at times I wonder are worse than before. The thing is i guess you never do know unless someone monitors you before and after. Honestly i think excercise and healthy eating would have worked just as well. I can definitley say it makes you more tired. I can say this..DONT TAKE THIS MEDICATION UNLESS YOUR SERIOUSLY IN NEED."


"It's a good sleep aid."


"I only use Emla to have sex. I use it one hour before I have sex with my wife and I enjoy longer intensive sex. I am german and I bought it in germany for %u20AC 27.90 euro in a 25mg tube, much much cheaper then here."


"I was so excited about the possibility of this helping me. But about 2 weeks in my joints became stiff and sore, it started in my neck and then went to my fingers. I feel like it's harder to type and pick things up, and I feel a little clumsy and dizzy. I don't know if it's because of the minocycline but it's the only thing that has changed. A huge bummer."


"This is the worst birth control experience I've ever had.  I was on Quasense for three years, but stopped when breakthrough started to occur.  I am on these medications for birth control, but also to manage excessively heavy and painful periods.

I started Apri on the first day of my period.  I then bled for 12 days, followed by five days of horrible discharge.  I stopped Apri 12 days into the pack after experiencing ridiculous weight gain (My diet did NOT change.) headaches, outrageous mood swings, anxiety, full body pain, cramping, muscle spasms in my neck and severe fatigue.  It is now day 18, (five days off the pill) and I'm still bleeding and dealing with tremendous mood swings.  I have gained what looks like 20 or so pounds.  "


"Update: I have been on this for a little over a month, 10mg for the past 3 weeks, 5mg 2 weeks before that. I am still getting extremely nauseous when I take it, burping and stomach upset/pain as well. Taking it at night did help with these symptoms but then I noticed I couldn't sleep so I try to take it before lunch. I haven't noticed much of a difference in my symptoms. I still feel down and have a hard time getting excited about anything. I really just want to stay in bed. I've recently started noticing I'm hungry all the time."


"I was prescribed this for a tooth infection. It did nothing to help elevate pain except when I added Tylenol and ibuprofen. I was also taking antibiotics at the time. Since I had to combine so many medications it would not be fair to discuss side effects. I hope this medicine works better for others."


"I was prescribed Mirtazapine for severe anxiety, I took my first 15mg dose and waited to fall asleep as this is what the doctor told me to expect, I laid almost paralysed hallucinating on and off all night but at that point I thought I was dreaming,my husband picked up on the fact that I was wide awake hallucinating,the emergency doctor told me to discontinue immediately, I never took another dose but 5 days later I still feel very ill,itching all over and just not myself,i was told it could take 200 hours to leave my body completely by my pharmacist, I just pray it's over soon, it's been a terrible experience for me personally."


"I'm a 26 year old white male. I have been taking seroquel for sleep for about a year now, my doctor prescribed me 400mg quick release to start, the first time I took it, within an hour, I felt like I was having a heart attack, my heart beat sped up an incredible amount and I was terrified. Later had the dose lowered to 200 mg and the heart rate issue was much less but still there, I have been taking the 200mg dose for about a year now. It helps me fall asleep within an hour of taking it and I get pretty decent sleep, not sure how deep it is but I sleep. I've read about how prolonged usage of seroquel is like a chemical lobotomy, I hope this is not true. I am a creative type and I have a lower creativity level ever since I started taking it."


"Having suffered with severe depression & anxiety most of my life, I finally decided to get some help (9 years ago). I was given a string of different tablets to try, persevered with each of them but they didn't suit me. I was put on sertraline. After an initial adjustment period, it's been fantastic. The only down side is that I can rarely climax, but that's a small price to pay to be normal(ish). It extremely noticeable how good the tablets are when I accidentally forgot to order my prescription & have a week without them. By the end of the week I'm a complete, suicidal wreck! I'm going through a rough path & have just doubled my dose. I'm currently experiencing some awful side effects. But I will stick with it as I know it'll be worth it."


"I've tried 5mg and 10mg.  Hated both,  Woke up in 2 hours, went into kitchen.  I could barely focus my eyes.  Got a bowl of cereal and poured the milk on the counter instead of in the bowl.  Got an egg out of refrigerator and put it in the candy bowl I have out for Halloween.  Made a salad and tried to eat it with my Vuse vapor device.   Ruining it ..had to buy new one.  Tank God my husband was asleep or I'd be in hospital.  It's been 10 hrs. since I took it.  Feeling much better now.  NEVER AGAIN BELSOMRA."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I opted to try Midrin because of it's low side effects compared to the triptans.  It works best when taken at the first sign of headache and I find that a cup of coffee not only speeds things along, it helps ward of the sleepy side effect.  A piece of bread helps with the nausea that comes with a bad migraine.  The best thing my doctor suggested was to keep a headache diary in order to find out what my migraine triggers are.  That was a big help!  Now I know what to avoid-anything with MSG, also called "natural flavor" and artificial sweeteners were THE WORST!"


"I'm a female age 58 diagnosed with AFIB last year.I was placed on Propafenone HCL 150 MG 3 times daily for 12 months along with Losartan 100mg 1 time daily. I'm 5'7" 165 lbs good health except for the AFIB...
About 3 months ago I became very aware of more frequent/recurrent AFIB, Change in speech, noticeable hair loss, occasional tiredness/insomnia/hand tremors and weight gain.
After thorough research however, I realized these symptoms are all side effects of Propafenone!!!
It is frightening to realize that this medication can actually be worse than the diagnosis of AFIB and the chemicals in these pills, very toxic to our bodies!!
I was given a 24* Halter Monitor showing Scant Mitral Valve Disorder.
I ONLY take 2 IF I feel an AFIB episode"


"I was on Loestrin 24 (1/20) for two years because I became sexually active and it would also help with my cramping. In the beginning, I had absolutely no problems with this pill. It took care of my periods/cramps like it was supposed to, but it didn't really take care of my acne. I gained a little weight. My moods improved a bit, but I still had pretty bad PMS. Also, since my periods weren't too bad to begin with, I kind of miss having them as a reminder that I'm not pregnant. The reason I'm getting off Loestrin now is because it's really thinned out my hair. I have very fine/thin hair to begin with and, though it doesn't come out in clumps, it's noticeable not as full as it used to be. It does its job, but it's not the pill for me anymore."


"I developed sweaty armpits in high school and just dealt with it for many years by layering tshirts and wearing patterns, etc.  Finally about a year ago I talked to my derm about it and he prescribed Hypercare.  I was skeptical but took daily applications to start and then sure enough my armpit sweating reduced easily by 90%.  I was shocked it worked so well!  I only need to re-apply once a week or so.  Been working like that for over a year.  I also have sweaty palms but Hypercare didn't help on my palms.  But I am so grateful for having the armpit issue solved.  Just be sure your armpits are fully dry when you apply to avoid irritation."


"I have been on Singulair since it was first on the market. This medication has given me a life that is free of fear from episodes of asthma attacks. Before this medication I was using a steroid inhaler and short acting and long acting. Not to mention the nasal spray and the allergy medication. Five medications versus the one of Singulair plus a fast acting for exercise or shortness of breath."


"I have only used Zyclara for 3 nights, but last night after I applied it to my face and neck, I started coughing and filling funny in my throat. It only lasted about 20 minutes, but will try again tonight and see if I have the same reaction. List of side effects did list this condition. I want to love this cream but am afraid I may have to quit it."


"I have a brain tumor and it Did the job it had to do, but the side effects were horrendous! Gained 10kg in 1 month! Moon face which made me unrecognisable, feeling of depression! Very outspoken to my family, which is totally unlike me! Have been off them for 2 months now haven't lost any of the weight yet but my body is starting to deflate, feel like I have mainly water retention."


"I can't believe that there can be a clonazapam board without anyone bringing up the physical dependence that comes with this drug, and the difficult long withdrawal that produces greater insomnia and anxiety than the insomnia and anxiety that led to starting the medication.  That said, when taking it, it works.  It, like most, if not all benzos, actually start messing up the natural sleep architecture.  The longer one takes this, and the higher the dosage, makes for a very difficult withdrawal, physical and psychological.  Never, after having taken this medication regularly, suddenly stop.  If you do, within three days or so, you'll know why I post the warning.  I take 2mg per 24 hours, and have taken it, with one difficult break, 9 years."


"Very helpful for this medicine for several uses. Good for anxiety. Long acting medicine allows for various dosing regimes. About as effective for the given individual as the next SSRI so don't be afraid to try this.  Was good for me without side effects at the starting dose. Side effects did show up at a higher dose though. Overall a good medicine. "


"Okay I used to be on Lomedia, then I was put Minestrin for some reason a few years ago, then for some UNKNOWN reason they stopped making that so I was forced to accept blisovi. Honestly I think I hate this pill more than Trump. I was fine with it for the first few couple of months (all you "nice" reviewers need to wait a few months to really know what you're dealing with), I barely got my period AT ALL and sometimes not at all which was nice but also scary at first bc that has never happened. I have been on BC for over 10 yrs now and this is the worst BY FAR. I thought I was just getting older, but I have gained weight (10-15lbs) way faster than I ever have in the past and its hard to get off. My moods are terrible and I spot now"


"I took Topamax for a while and it worked wonders but the side effects were insane. However, the zonesamide works very well for preventing my migraines. I take 400 mg a day. Word finding and memory, I don't even know what those are anymore. However, I was living in constant pain. Nothing was working for me. This is the only thing that has done anything for me in years."


"Helps to keep my blood pressure around 130 over 70"


"I have been taking Oxy ER 20mg 3x day plus up to 8 Oxy IR 5mg for the past 7 years.  It has been a Godsend for me.  I was in bad car accident in 2008 in which I suffered from a bruised spinal cord plus it worsened already bad Degenerative Disc Disease,Arthritis and Spinal Stenosis. In June 2009 I had a spinal fusion on my neck levels 5-7.  After both I was left with horrible arm , shoulder and neck pain and mobility issues in my neck.  I work a lot on the computer and meeting with people,  If not for the medication I would not be able to work.  I still have some pain but it is more of a tolerable background pain instead of a full nerve toothache  Please folks use responsibly, many of us need it to live and function. I worry it will go away"


"I should start by letting you know that I was an addict of medicines (and having been through treatment, now enjoy 2 years and 9 months of sobriety) but I am also a sufferer of a wretched case of anxiety complete with full blown crippling panic attacks.  Which I have suffered from for many years, but upon completing treatment for my recreational use and now being honest with doctors it was very difficult for that reason to get one to prescribe something that would help my condition.  When I found one that would I would have to have my wife allocate the Xanax out to me but I will say it has helped and worked wonders.  IN MODERATION!!"


"I was put on Lexapro by my family doctor in May after experiencing chest pain and elevated blood pressure. Test were done to make sure I wasn't experiencing a heart attack before my doctor determined that stress was my issue.  For the first several weeks I had increased anxiety, loss of appetite and vivid dreams.  I was quite sure this medicine wasn't for me.  My doctor encouraged me to keep taking it and prescribed Ativan to help me get through some rough days.  After being on Lexapro for 8 months now, I can honestly say I feel better than I have for years! I had no idea how much anxiety I had until it went away.  I'm so thankful for this medicine and for my doctor who encouraged me to try it."


"I never write reviews online but I want to share how awful my experience with Implanon has been. I have constant acne that I did not have before the insertion and it does not respond to prescription strength treatment. The worst part however is that I have now been having a constant light period every single day for almost five months. I had this inserted in July and have an appointment booked to have it removed and start the pill again. The convenience of not having to remember to take a pill every day is not worth the side effects."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Switched to Genvoya from eviplera.  Wish i  had of switched a lot sooner. Its only been a week but i feel and look so much better. More energy and less tired looking. Very happy."


"I've been taking this medicine for about 16 years off and on.  The effects have worn off, more than anything they make getting up at 4 am for work a little easier.  "


"I have been dealing with adult acne for years.  The product does work but I had to give it a little time.   It's been close to a month and my skin is almost clear.  I did have a few breakouts last week but were gone 2 days later.  I also experienced some dryness and peeling after washing my face with Proactiv and applying onexton right after.  The other thing I noticed was unbearable  stomach and leg cramps the first day of my period.  I usually get cramps but 1 Tylenol normally does the trick; not this time.  My cheeks are a little rosier than normal and my chin, which is where I apply most of the medicine, is turning a bit yellow (weird).  I think it's worth a shot but get in tune with your body in case there are any side effects"


"I was prescribed this medication after talking with my neurologist about my sleep issues. She suggested Zolpidem or Temazepam to help. I declined both meds because my younger brother is an addict who refuses to seek help and I can't bear to have something like that in my possession and have it constantly stolen from me( in spite of me hiding it. )  She decided that Belsomra may help with my issue.  Well I have been lucky to get an hour and a half of sleep. I wish that it could have worked for me."


"I got this through my IV while in the hospital along with Vancomycin.  After day 3, the infection was gone and I felt much better!  Side effects were nausea, but manageable and worth it!"


"I developed Rosacea when I was pregnant with my first child (at age 39).  I never had skin issues before, even as a teenager.  I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Papulopustular Rosacea (acne plus redness).  My doctor prescribed Monodox and it has worked WONDERS!  Within a week, almost all the pimples/bumps were gone. GONE!  I only hope that once I finish up the medication (60 days), it won't all come back.  The downside is the cost.  Thankfully, my doctor gave me a discount card from the manufacturer that allows me to buy it for $10 per month.  Otherwise, it was $225 for 60 day supply."


"It is the greatest drug found. It works very well if used as prescribed."


"I have the onset of degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, arthritis in my hips and low back muscle spasms that act up all the time and intensify when I exercise.  As a result, I don't exercise fearing the pain.  I tried this medicine about 5 years ago and I didn't notice any changes.  For the past 2 years I have been seeing a chiropractor for my back and I asked my Dr. to prescribe this medicine again and WOW is all I can say.  I can exercise rigorously for 45 minutes without feeling like I need to be put in traction the next morning.  I take 1 tablet every 12 hours on days I exercise and I take 1 before I go to bed on my rest days.  I feel like a new women. This medicine works well in combination with chiropractic care.  I haven't been sleepy either."


"I take this med for pain and it works very well. Theres been points of time where this is all I had and I was greatful to have it I do recommend it to anyone who needs pain to go away."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I switched to Beyaz about 4 years ago, after being on OrthoNovum. The first 3 months was tough. I recall having irritability, fatigue, discolored complexion, breakthrough bleeding during sex, etc. After that transition I felt fine. About 2 years ago my period began being lighter and lighter and evenutally went away. I asked my GYN if it was ok and she assured me that Beyaz may eliminate my period. At first I was displeased because I wanted a period to prove that I wasn't pregnant each month. But when my gyno told me she can put me on something else to force a period, I told her no!

Now with the new year, I discovered that my new RX plan doesnt cover ANY of the BEYAZ/RAJANI/SAFYRAL contraceptives. I'm DOOMED!! :-("


"They gave this to my dad for a severely torn rotator cuff at the hospital and he said it was awesome.  Pain relief was immediate."


"My Doctor diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and put me on Cymbalta.  The first couple of weeks were a little rough with the nausea, but nothing unbearable.  I did lose a bit of weight too.  It did help with my anxiety and depression a lot.  I was on 60mg.  Now 2 years later I was in a different place in my life, did not want to be dependent on a pill, so started weaning off.  Went from 60mg to 30mg.  Then taking it every other day.... then down to 20mg.  Now is the hard part.  Dr told me from there just quit taking it - yah right.  All the blogs you read about the "brain zaps" are so true. "


"I take Savodi and Deklenza  together once a day and genotype 3A.  I've had a few side effects that's listed but nothing that I can't deal with. The most   Bothersome side effects for me is  it feels like my insides are slightly burning.  I can hold my hand and inch from my body especially over my tummy area and I can feel heat radiating off of my skin   Two weeks after taking these medications together my RNA came back less than 15 so I'm completing this course I'm very excited"


"A slow descent into alcohol and cigarette addiction over twenty years finally had me in its grip last year. With too many near disasters to contemplate over the years and a denial system verging on insanity, I was given less than a year to live. From a bright, middle class male to an unshaven, stinking 8 stone mess, retching, panic attacks, barely able to stand up, hiding bottles, then not caring about hiding anything, alcohol had me. I had multiple seizures before Christmas and in front of my 'friends' was bundled off into an ambulance. I was told very firmly that these were the 'end days'. I had seen others around me die. I bought the book by Amiesen and took his advice. I am now teetotal, healthy and have no cravings. I am made new."


"My child get headache, fever for two days after had the Bexsero vaccine. It may me worry about if she will get meningitis disease."


"I've been taking victoza for about 6 months

I started at 180 pound and I am now 130 at first I was very nauseous, but that subsided I do still get stomach aches though."


"I have been diagnosed with absence seizures and have had several Grand Mals for 6 years now, but have been seizure-free for 4 years, after being put on Depakote ER.  I went through 2 prior doctors and twice as many medicines before finding the right one. If taken in the morning, I get nauseous and I'm always tired, but otherwise, no problems. 155 lb female on 500 mg once daily."


"My son had his first seizure at 18 yrs old. He has a brain injury from birth and very mild cerebral palsy affecting his right side. Went to ER and was referred to neurologist. Did a CT scan, blood work, EEG all normal except the injury to brain which showed no changes in size or concern. Was told not to drive for three months CA law. Was put on Keppra 500mg morning and night total 1000mg. Has not had a seizure and we will be following up with the neurologist  in 2 days to have his driving privileges reinstated with DMV. Very hard for him not being able to drive and having someone else do it. Regarding side affects none. Has taken medicine every day. Neurologist did say we will re evaluate stopping the medicne in 2ys."


"BAD EXPERIENCE FOR ME. First side effect was tired. Turned into totally wiped out. Lack of energy, feeling sore, then the sore throat! This drug kicked my butt. It's not for me, I want to be outside active.. This drug will keep you on your sofa..... I'm going back to my old faithful. I tried this because of the coupons."


"Helped a lot with the cough. if you take it without food it does give you that 'out of it' feeling. The downside was that it gave me terrible, super watery diarrhea."


"Heavy drinker every night for about 5 years - bottle of vodka or a couple of bottles of wine. Done myself a lot of injuries nearly lost my job so I have just started this drug only 2 days ago so still feel anxious at night, when I would usually drink so trying to find hobbies and interests to fill my mind instead. I was inspired by everyone's comments here so wish me luck."


"I have been using AndroGel for the last two months and the results are great. More energy and more sex drive. I will be 50 soon and AndroGel makes me feel young again. Thanks to Androgel I do not need to take Viagra."


"The first few days while taking Wellbutrin,which is not really recommended for anxiety but doc recommended giving it a try, were not too bad.  Around week 2 I began to notice I was miserable, angry all the time, and just not feeling like  myself!  I am usually a happy person that laughs alot and enjoys making others laugh!  Wellbutrin changed all that!  I was now a bitter and angry person that found fault with everything!  I wasn't sleeping well, had slight headaches everyday and my head felt cloudy and foggy all the time!  I wasn't able to concentrate which made it difficult for me to function properly at work. I was no longer the happy,silly person I used to be!  This drug totally changed my personality!"


"I LOVE this new medication. I began seeing a major difference by the second day of use. I'm taking 50 mg a day and have no side effects. I also have marked improvement of frequency, urgency and especially continuous leaking. This drug is a life saver."


"I am very happy with my skin now that I have been using Epiduo consistently for about 9 months. After the first 4 months just about all of my acne was gone and now almost all of my acne scars have disappeared.

My method is: I use a Clarisonic twice a day with Eucerin face wash. Eucerin is the best product for me in terms of lotions and face washes/body washes because my sensitive skin needs something gentle that won't irritate it. Every night after washing my face I apply one pump of Epiduo evenly on my face, wait at least 10 minutes, and apply Eucerin lotion.

The reason I gave this product 9/10 is because the first few weeks of using this product the skin on my face was red, itchy and flaky. Also, I can't expose myself to sunlight."


"I have suffered from allergic rhinitis all my life: dry swollen sinus; sinus pressure; headaches; blurry vision; dizziness; lethargy; all sorts of cognitive problems because of the lack of oxygen to my body and brain due to thicken mucus in my respiratory system; not to mention frequent bacterial infections due to accumulated mucus secretions. I had tried every other medicine under the sun. Mucinex has taken all that away and my quality of life has improved 150%.  I strongly recommend Mucinex for those with sinus problems due to allergic rhinitis, or anyone who suffers from sinus any sort of respiratory congestion period."


"I have a history of UTIs and kidney infections because my urethra is abnormal. However, with every UTI, i have been prescribed several different antibiotics. None that are accompanied by side effects but every person is different. With every UTI I have had, I have always experienced head ache, nausea, body aches and fever. All went away with the UTI. When I asked my doctor, he said the antibiotics take between 48 and 72 hours to start taking effect on your body. You may be experiencing some effects of your infection."


"After Gleevec quit working after five years, and no remission, Tasigna has been a wonderful medicine. Thinning hair, a little hip pain and some blisters/itching...but so much blessing to have achieved molecular remission in 4 mos. and continued for 3 yrs. now. Doc has reduced my dose from 600 to 400mgs to see if rashes stop and pain subsides. hopefully, won't have to go back up. The cost is insanity...good thing I get assistance or I wouldn't be here. "


"I had it inserted when I was 20, almost two years ago. I have no kids, pain from insertion was ok. It hurt for about a week. I rarely had cramps before I got it,  but since then I get pretty bad ones every few months. I broke out horribly from July-Dec, and it only got better because I took medication for my skin. The acne left dark purple marks on my cheeks, that are just barely disappearing. I gained about 10-15 lbs, but after about a year my body dropped back down to what I weighed before. It has prevented pregnancy, sex drive is about the same. After that year mark things were going great until about four months ago. Apparently my uterus lining has been getting worn down by the IUD. Bleeding for months straight. Every day."


"500 mg 3x a day for 10 days only made it to pill 6.  Horrible side affect.  Headache,  nauseous, no appetite causing weight loss,  white gunk in eyes,  liquid in ears,  itching skin, swollen sore mouth with tinfoil taste, vaginal yeast, low back pain, blurred vision, ovary pain(though no problems with ovaries before), inflammation. This sounds like an allergic reaction but what it was is this medicine ignited a whole body yeast infection like a atom bomb by day 2. Had to stop taking it because the medicine is 10x worse than the guardia is. I'm sure it's definately toxic to guardia if you can survive the duration of the treatment"


"I have tried it all! Very frustrated with the lack of results, my doctor put me on Axiron about a month ago. This is the one product that has truly changed my life. I feel much better. I feel much more energetic and my anxiety and mood issues are gone. I really hope this is not to good to be true!  "


"This medicine helped my nausea, but made me to tired to function properly. It would be great if you have nausea at night time."


"It's worked wonders. I don't use it regularly, but I don't need to. Whenever I get a bad breakout I just use it and within days I'm fine again."


"Methergine has changed my life. For the first time in 8 years I have felt like a normal contributing member of society again. But just had CT scan and they saw fibroid on lung so Dr had me stop. Migraines resumed with vengeance. I feel so hopeless. Not sure how to live in pain like this everyday. Go to Dr on Friday to come up with new plan. Life is suffering. Plow on. Ugh."


"I had side effects from other anticonvulsants including Tegretol and Depakote. I have had absolutely no side effects from Lamictal and it has controlled my seizures for several years now."


"Horrible experience! First half of treatment was manageable but not pleasant. Day 8 was by far the hardest with extreme nausea, dizziness, heart flutters, bloat, and the usual diarrhea. For day 9 I battled with the thought of taking the pills for an hour. I felt like I was playing Russian roulette. Sitting here waiting for the agony. Day 10 can't get here soon enough! However, I'm thinking anyone who has undergone chemotherapy must think I'm such a wimp!"


"I really like this pill. I'm 21 and been on it since I was 19. I haven't experienced any weight gain, nausea, discomfort, mood swings or acne. And periods are a breeze! Mine lasts for 2 days and are so light! My skin actually cleared up since I've been on it and I have even lost weight. (This was due to change in diet, not the actual pill. I just wanted to show that it's possible to still lose weight on this pill). I also have not lost my sex drive AT ALL. When I'm with the right person, I'm always in the mood. And yeah, obviously each pill will affect everyone differently so choose one that is right for you!"


"I have been using Benicar for six years at 20 mg once per day and I have very good readings.  I also do not have the side effects I was getting using a dueretic type BP medicine. Never again will I use one of those.  Benicar was a God send for me as I am allergic to Ace Inhibitors."


"I've been a heavy drinker for all my adult life, and a mother of 3. Ended up extremely depressed as just could not stop. Ended up in hospital as took overdose as just couldn't cope with the addiction anymore. 20 years of it. Glad I did it though as now am getting the help I so need. Started on Librium 4 days ago, and have a nurse visit me at home daily. It is working wonders for me. Still dry heave and slightly shake and sweat, the second night was awful as had awful dreams and was seeing stuff, but WOW now what a huge difference. Recommend it highly, its helping me and my family so so much. Just hope myself and all of the above keep up the good work! Good luck to you all."


"Spasms are unbearable. This helped."


"Noticeable improvement at school and at home.  Started with 1 mg three weeks ago.  Completing seat work, better control of emotions and less impulsive.  Although he still can be defiant it is very short lived.  Much more compliant and less hyper.  The medication has not changed his personality and he is much easier to be around.  Will sit through dinner, which he never could before and is very helpful and sweet.  He is very small at 38 pounds so no plans to increase medication.  There has been almost a complete transformation.  Slightly sleepy the first week but now has adjusted.  He sleeps great but he always did.  I would recommend this medication for these issues.  Our family is against stimulant medications so this has worked perfectly."


"This is my first day of use...2nd application. I already have some relief where I got none from lidocaine and diltiazem."


"My dermatologist put me on this medication using starter packs while they worked with the insurance to approve it.  I lost my appetite completely I was exhausted, I almost lost my hearing and I got a serious upper respiratory infection.  I had constant diarrhea and nausea and practically no sleep.  I had to quit when I got the respiratory infection as I could hardly breathe.  Why on earth is more testing not done with these drugs.  The pharmaceutical companies churn our arthritis medication one after the other all of them with horrible side affects and outrageous pricing.  How dare they try to charge almost $3000 a month for a drug with such poor results.  Back to methotrexate and ibuprofen at least I can afford them."


"Doctor couldn't diagnose that I had adrenal fatigue and thyroid insufficiency, I developed severe allergies which affected my breathing severely.
Was put on albuterol inhalers, which did little, and a specialist told me I have gotten the wrong medication all along.
Meanwhile, I used Primatene, which immediately gave me fast results, better then the albuterol.
"


"Cyclen has recently changed their non-medicinal ingredients in the past year. I now experience insomnia, anxiety, and lethargy. Never had any problems before. Watch out for any new symptoms with these new chemicals in the ingredient list."


"I started using Portia when I was 17. Not knowing much about birth control pills and what they can really do to you, I didn't really know what to expect or how great this pill actually was! I had NO side effects to begin with. I think my boobs got a little bigger and there was no weight gain and drastically lighter periods. I do have to say, before I was on the pill I had no cramps and I have gotten some after starting the pill, but only on the first day. I'm now 20 and I've decided to switch to YAZ to try something different. I've heard the complaints about it, but I have always had an anxiety and maybe a depression problem so I want to see if Portia caused it. If I do have severe side effects, I'll switch back!"


"This is my 3rd week and I have lost about 11lbs with no side effects yet. Saxenda is the best I have ever tried."


"I started taking Adipex back in March of 2009. I was weighing in at around 294lbs. I am currently down to 270lbs and feel great. I would have to say that this has completely changed my whole outlook on life. I have changed my eating habits and I exercise at least three times a week."


"This is a great medication. I finished the sample pack that my doctor gave me and I'm down about 8 pounds. I was really looking forward to having the prescription filled...but my insurance doesn't cover it. Even with a discount card from Saxenda, it would have cost over $900. This doesn't make sense! The only side effects I've experienced were a little bit of nausea, heartburn and feeling a little more tired than usual. The weight loss had already made me feel better so it was worth it. I have a follow-up in a few days and am anxious to talk with my doctor about what I can do to continue on this medication. Good luck to all of you and I'm so glad your insurance covers Saxenda!"


"I was on Ortho TriCyclen as soon as I turned 18 and used it until my husband and I wanted to conceive a few years later. I went back on it after my daughter was born. It made my periods regular, they were basically clockwork which was awesome. I had no acne, mood swings, or break through bleeding."


"Oh my God! I read the instructions. It says 1 to 3 tablets at bedtime. I took 2. I honestly believe that 3 would've killed me dead!! Worst stomach pain and cramps of my life.  I was sure I was dying. Vomiting, sweating and laboured breathing as well as shaking and panic stricken. I am sure that people that took 3 of those demon pills died on their bathrooms a painful and slow death. Rest on peace!
."


"I have Fibromyalgia and developed horrific back/sciatic pain last year. I started taking lyrica about 3 months ago and within a week,I could walk properly. I could sleep, I could exercise and I thought it had fixed everything.

Then my elbow started hurting. I just thought I'd strained it at the gym. The pain became excruciating. Then it hit the other arm until 3 days ago when it got so bad, I couldn't move my arms properly. It felt like my arms were inflamed from my shoulders to my finger tips.

I stopped taking it 2 days ago and the arm pain is starting to go. But the back pain is starting to come back.

I also have had no idea what day it is for the last 3 weeks which I thought was stress but suspect is the lyrica."


"Prescribed Mirt for chronic insomnia, difficulty with both falling and staying asleep.  15 mg was stimulating and caused jittery, anxious feeling.  7.5 mg. Helped moderately with staying asleep but did nothing for sleep onset - still tossing and turning for several hours.  No weight gain or carb cravings, but routine blood work showed that triglycerides increased substantially and blood sugar (which has always been normal) rose to pre- diabetes level while on the Mirt.  Did a quick two week taper and stopped the drug.  Bottom Line:  not effective for insomnia and caused alarming rise in blood sugar.  Glad I caught this early and got off this drug."


"Did everything right: titrated up gradually as per manufacturer's instructions. Only side effect was a slight front forehead ache in the mornings. Then.... WHAM! About 6 weeks into taking lamotrigine woke up with migraine killer headache & aching joints like getting the 'flu. Then next morning had rash all over body which became raised bumps. Then bloodshot eyes. I was in bed the best part of 2 weeks.  Instantly, I stopped the lamotrigine. Even though my psychiatrist just told me to reduce the dose! Duh! If not for the SJS reaction, I would definitely still be on this drug."


"Okay hey ladies! Me and my boyfriend had a condom break so  I took plan b about an hour later. Then, about a week later, I got a period. Now this was about two weeks early but it's pretty normal for this to happen with plan b. It also is a good sign that the pill worked but it isn't a promise. So, I anxiously waited for my normal period but as that time was going by I looked into getting an IUD. And now that I just got my period today, I can go back and get an IUD in!!! For everyone out there who doesn't want to go through this again, I highly recommend an IUD. They can come with or without hormones, are 99.9% effective, and can stay in for 3-12 years! The insertion only lasts a couple min and they are free! Stay safe :)"


"My son is 7 he is currently taking 1mg at bedtime he is sleepy all the time doesnt listen, irritable, he is failing nearly all classes cannot sit still he has been on it for nearly 1 month and nothing. He was on a stimulant he did amazing for a while I mean his attitude his self confidence went up we had no trouble until his appetite was suppressed and wouldnt eat at school and would come home sick. So we stopped and started this new medication which isn't helping his focus or self confidence. Only good thing is he is gaining weight and eating much better alot actually he is always hungry so thats a plus hopefully we can find some common ground or we may have to start homeschool"


"I absolutely LOVE my implant! I've had it for a little over 2 months now and I can't say enough good things about it. I switched over from the IUD (crazy spotting, some cramping, I could feel it in my uterus which made me nervous, and my partner got really irritated by the strings during sex) and the immediate changes were great. I'd had a light period/spotting for three months straight with my IUD and the day after the implant went in the bleeding stopped. Haven't had a period in 2 months now. My sex drive is normal, no acne issues, and I've managed to lose weight on it too. Although some  women have bad experiences with the implant, you should know that some women have great ones. Also, insertion was SO EASY and basically painless."


"I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism. My TSH level was close to 7. I felt dizzy and had a low appetite for the first few days on levithyroxine. I started to feel better after that but on the third week I felt depressed, I couldn't process what I was reading, I felt paranoid, and had no energy. It was scary! I requested another blood test and the results showed that my TSH levels dropped to .5. My dosage will go from 25mcg to 12.5mcg starting tomorrow. I will come back in a few weeks."


"It help me a lot with my rash, scalp and hair loss."


"I just started taking it. I am on the last row of my first pack. I have been having a huge amount of brown or red discharge/blood. I have had headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, back acne, everything. I think it's because I'm taking a lower dose of it like levonorgestrel 0.1 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.02 mg so next time at the doctors I will get a high dose. "


"I was on Gleevec for 6 months for CML and the side effects were horrendously painful, so my oncologist switched me to Dasatinib (which I have been on now for 10 months). I give it a "9" rating because there is no doubt about its effectiveness in killing the leukemia cells, but I didn't give it a "10" because of the side effects I am experiencing (which is more than others from what I understand). I have frequent headaches, bone pain, nausea, muscle pain and aches, gastrointestinal problems, occasional dry eye syndrome, constipation, severe anal sphincter pain, vertigo, extreme loss of energy and light headedness / dizziness, abdominal pain, gastritis, musculoskeletal pain and perhaps others that I do not yet recognize."


"I have AVN and I began taking the medicine before core depression surgery. I almost decided not to have the surgery as the medicine worked so well. I take it now once a day as I recover from the surgery and it works really well. I don't have to take hydrocodone any more. My doctor says I will have to stop taking it soon. I have had a stomach ulcer 15 yrs ago and he is concerned but I take Zantac and I have had no side effects as of yet. It has been three months."


"I was taking lisinopril for a week, but my Doctor switched me to another medicine as I had extreme throat tickle and cough.  It did help with my blood pressure though.  Went from 140s/high 90s to below 120/high 80s in 1 week."


"I have been reading your experiences with Xenical. I have been taking this for 2 months on 3rd July and so far have lost nearly 3 stone. I find it really makes you think about the foods you choose to eat because you don't want any nasty side effects. I can honestly say I have had none at all. Been on a low cal, low fat diet and exercising every day. I started out weighing 14 stone 10lbs and now weigh 11 stone 11 lbs. If I can do it with 3 children then anyone can. Power to you all, you are an inspiration."


"This week is my 8th week in using this product. I can say now that it really works. Before I started using this, I had cystic acne all over my face and neck but after 7 weeks of using things change. For the first 6 weeks, expect peeling, redness, scaly face, breakouts. I had all of this. But now I only have two pimples. not cystic acne. At first, I really wanted to stop using this because of the negative effects. Really patience is a virtue."


"I've been taking Levora for a little over a year. This was my first time using an oral contraceptive and it is amazing. I haven't gotten pregnant, my sex drive has increased and my acne isn't as bad. When I take the reminder pills I usually don't start my period the first day which scares me. I crave food the week before my period and sometimes during. This pill serves its purpose so far, but me and my boyfriend also use condoms the majority of the time."


"I could even last two days with the Xulane.

I had the Evra patch years ago and liked it so I thought I'd give this patch a try.

Literally after have it on for a couple of hours I got a migraine and then woke up to medium-severe cramps that lasted all day along with the headaches and then nausea. I literally felt sick to my stomach. After taking it off I was able to feel a little better, no more major cramps but still feel sick. Hoping this goes away soon.

I'm absolutely done with BC. Rather be celibate.

Oh and I forgot to mention I literally gained 3/4lbs within 2 damn days"


"When I first started Lyrica, my pain almost totally disappeared.  After about 3 weeks, my pain started returning.  My tongue started to tingle and was sore."


"I have tried other medicines before and had a terrible reaction.  Could no longer battle my depression and anger and decided to get on something.  Scared out of mind to try it, I was actually thrilled that I didn't have any bad reactions. If you have tried other medicines Zoloft, Lexapro and had a bad experience (like I did), then I would definitely give this one a try."


"My husband's left kidney was removed in March 2015 . No signs of cancer for one and a half years. In October  2016 he had cough and lower back pain. Did PET CT and found mets in lungs and spine . Started taking votrient since December 2016. After 3 months tumours in lungs are found shrinking.  Major side effects are vomiting ,muscle and bone pain. Nowadays he is full time on bed due to muscle pain. Acid reflux is overcomed with Pan D . We are hoping and praying for positive results."


"Take this when taking a triptan for headache pain, this is to bring baseline pain level down a few notches if I was late taking my regular abortive it usually won't work unless I can get a control on the pain, Ultracet is mildly okay at this, just a trial for headache pain as I've tried many others, but not too bad to have sometimes, can be somewhat effective."


"Depo is GREAT! I recommend it to everyone that I know. I have been on Depo for about 2/3 years now, and frankly, I don't fault Depo for the "side effects" I have experienced. Yes, I have gained some weight. But I also eat a lot of carbs and don't exercise nearly as much as I used to. So you can't blame Depo for that. Also, my doctor made it quite clear to me that Depo could affect my bone density, so I take a chewable calcium supplement every day, and so far my bones are in great shape. And let's talk about the number one life changer- no period! I used to have awful cramps and heavy bleeding, but now I literally have no period whatsoever. Occasional spotting, but that's really rare and only lasts for a day. do yourself a favor and try Depo"


"I've just recently started taking adpex again because I need to lose a little bit more weight. The first month I worked out intensively, and ate good healthy food. I didn't starve myself I ate what I wanted just in moderation. I lost 16 pounds in one month. The 2nd month I did the same lost around 10 pounds. In total I lost 50 pounds in 3 months. If you diet and exercise with this product you WILL drop weight like crazy! And on the plus side it's actually cheaper than buying supplements at the store, no new health food, just go to your doctor and set a goal!"


"Seems to do the job well. Keeps my BP and heart rate down!"


"Relives pain fast"


"i took this medicine for two days because i started to get a headache from it. now 2 months later i have the same headache from this. its a constant dull headache that is causing me to be unable to work or do my daily activities. it ruined my life forever."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I wanted to prove to myself that I could take it, so I just gulped the stuff down as quickly as possible. Tastes like salty sour lemon candy and a little like bitter lemon.  Now I have to wait 5 years to have this much fun again. Not a pleasant experience but I can tolerate it every 5 years."


"A warning for menstruating women...

I am a 28 year old female who was prescribed Xarelto for a Pulmoary Embolism. My menstrual period lasted 10  days with extremely heavy bleeding and clots. Normally it lasts 3-4 days and is very light. Soaked through an ultra tampon AND overnight pad every 2 hours. I went through a box of tampons every 2 days. I was not able to function at work, and it was ruining my relationship. I held my meds for a day and boom! Period went away. I believe that Xarelto prevented my endometrial lining from forming and staying in place."


"I have had Hashimoto's since I was in my 30's. Everything I take starts problems with my stomach, skin, hair, and nails. My doctor gave me 2 month supply of Tirosint and I felt 100% better. I am now switching to Tirosint and hoping that it continues to work."


"I don't understand any of these reviews. I used the 3 day that came with the ovules and the external cream. I didn't find any itching or burning and it cleared me up nicely."


"I used the 3 day cream. No burning or itching. I did develop a mild stomach cramp but that lasted a day and a half"


"Qsymia is awesome I lost like 50 pounds on it without dieting or exercising but I did realize that it was not a good idea to not exercise because when I did stop taking Qsymia I had extra skin that I didn't tighten from where I lost weight and it was sagging. So now I have to figure out how to tighten my tummy. Now I am back to square one since I quit taking it due to change in insurance....... so I have gained more weight now but Qsymia is an awesome diet capsule and it does work........"


"I don't know what the fuss is about with the taste or smell.  I didn't even use the lemon flavor packet that it came with because it contains saccharin, and I hate the after-taste. I didn't refrigerate it.  I drank it room temperature with no flavoring, but I did use a straw.  It was not bad at all.  It tasted like funny-tasting water that was a little salty. I drank it through the straw really fast, and I had a butterscotch hard candy after each glassful.  The reason I didn't drink it cold was because it goes down easier at room temperature."


"The capsules seem to work better than tablets and less side effects with capsules."


"Makes me feel good for a while and then I fall asleep like I want to. Very pleasant. Have not had any side effects."


"I take Januvia 100mg once daily with metformin and glyburide, and I it works."


"Prozac has taken my body aches away,  Prevents me from obsessing over what someone else did or said.  Helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and crying.  A lot of the other medications I had an allergic reaction to, or they made me lethargic and gain weight. Problems with short term memory and retaining new information, but that could be my age of 60."


"I was suffering with un-diagnosed thyroid disease for many years and ultimately was Hasimotos disease. I had multiple nodules INSIDE my thyriod gland and a big tumor OUTSIDE my gland that seemed to be running my chemistry in my body!
Surgery was not an option, so I was put on Nature-Throid, cut ALL gluten out of my diet, and in three months my thyroid blood levels were perfect and the majority of my nodules were gone. My tumor was totally gone! At first I went on an extreme diet; very similar to Adkins. I have stayed on that, but do have chocolate and natural chips when I want. I consider myself cured...thank-you Jesus!"


"I was on one Abilify for three years, for schizophrenia. At first I thought it was pretty good. It helped with motivation. But then I started gaining weight. Weight gain on Abilify is very unusual, my doctor said.

Anyway, I gained over 50kg, going from nearly skinny at 78kg (I'm 6 foot 1 inch) to morbidly obese at 132kg. Now I'm on ziprasidone (Geodon/Zeldox) and I have lost 7 kg in six months. Hopefully that weight loss will continue.

So if you start gaining weight on this drug, don't ignore it, talk to your doctor about changing medicine."


"THIS IS HORRIBLE. I'm currently on Day 3 and I feel uglier than a rotten tomato. I'm stressing out so much because I don't want this to ruin my face!! I looked fine before, but my mom wanted me to clear up everything just to be sure. Now my face is breaking out and it constantly itches and burns. I want to hit my face against a wall. I know you're supposed to wait, but I can't go to school looking like a pumpkin burn victim!"


"I am taking care of my husband who is in the terminal stages of ALS. I had been taking Temazepam several times a week just to 'get by' but my Dr. told me to take it every night as it was important I got good sleep.  I have been taking it for the last 2 weeks and it has made a huge difference for me. I am calmer and able to handle things better. I am so grateful. The only side effect I find is a little 'brain fog' in the morning and lack of concentration. It wears off during the day but the benefits and more energy and confidence I am feeling is worth it."


"I am 30 and have been taking Zoloft for just under a year (under the care of a great p-doc). Initially for depression and with graduated doses of 12.5, 25 to my current 37.5mg/day, I can say my PMDD has basically been cured with a LOW dose of this medicine! (>50mg = no orgasms). Since 12, I have been incapacitated not just by cyclical mood/anxiety issues--I felt "normal" for only about 1 week/month. But the WORST part was the abdominal cramps & the bloating/gas/messing with my GI tract, and 2-3 days/month were pure H#LL. Despite combo of heat, baths, 2 oz. liquor, MJ and 800mg Advil, nothing relieved my pain. On Zoloft, I barely notice my period and this is a miracle for me. Sertraline was discovered by chance, not engineered--a ( ) for me!"


"Works well, but the taste is horrible. I'm taking them twice a day for a week. For the first couple of days, I had diarrhea very bad and after taking the medication, I ended up with a yeast infection. So, I had to treat that as well with a 7 day cream."


"After I had my son I knew I didn't want to have anymore children for a while but I wasn't willing to do anything  permanent. I thought this was perfect for me. I was so wrong. I got the implant six weeks after having my son. At that time I had lost all of the baby weight and then some. I was 130lbs then. Now nine months later I am 177. I exercise everyday and I limit my calories. I've never had an issue losing weight. it has always been very easy to lose and keep off extra pounds. Now I can't lose weight no matter how hard I try. My self esteem is at an all time low. I don't even go out in public unless I absolutely have to.
It is very effective as birth control but it's not worth the side effects"


"I have taken Lunesta 3mg for around 6-7 years.  It takes about 45 minutes to make me start nodding off.  I had the metal taste when I first started using it but don't have any problem with that for years.  I got insomnia when I had a hysterectomy years back.  I use to take Trazodone and it worked great but gave me a headache every morning.  Be sure not to eat any snack near the time you take you take Lunesta that interferes with absorption and falling asleep time.  I think it might make me a little more depressed.  However, if i don't sleep I would be a raving loon!  Nothing worse then laying awake and you head won't shut-up.  I would like to be able to fall asleep without medication but it just doesn't happen without Lunesta."


"I love having only 4 periods a year, but it seems that every other 3 month cycle I having a lot of spotting.  And the menstrual cycle before last had extremely painful cramps. "


"I used Methamphetamine when it first hit the street in the early 1980's and stopped on April 10, 2011. Within days I developed chronic fragmented insomnia in which I was unable to sleep for more than 45 to 75 minutes at a time. Attempting to avoid prescription anything, I tried every herb and supplement from Valerian Root to Melatonin with very little improvement. After almost two years I became desperate and willing to try anything so I asked the Doctor for help and was prescribed Temazepam. Now I get at least 4 hours of solid sleep and 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 hours of total sleep each night. I am a bit comatose in the morning for the first 30 to 60 minutes after waking even with coffee. The sleep walking is a bit unnerving though."


"It made me tired and didn't relieve my anxiety."


"I was prescribed Pregabalin by my GP for anxiety disorder. I am 27 and have had anxiety since a teenager. I have never tried meds before. I have just gone up to 600mg. I have definitely experienced side effects (blurred vision/dizziness/drowsiness). The side effects do wear off but it does take some perseverance in the beginning to get to grips with it. I felt 'out of it' for a few days. I definitely feel less anxious. It's hard to tell how well it is working but I definitely have the ability to look at 'stressful' and 'anxious' situations with far more clarity. I am a designer and I always worried if taking meds would suppress my creativity but in fact - I think it helps me to have more confidence in my ideas."


"Fell into hard sleep. Didn't hear door knock,

or phone call or messages alert.

I woke but couldn't move my legs. This happened on 3 different occasions within a 4 hr. period.

I tried to call out but voice too weak to be heard.

It was an out of body experience for sure!"


"Whenever I use the 12-hour tabs, it helps almost immediately in satiating my urge to cough and/or does a good job of loosening whatever junk is in my chest. Grateful for that. However, it is now 1:46am -- been eyes-wide awake since 12midnight. I took 1 pill around 3pm, fell asleep nicely by 9pm, but BOOM - now jittery and think I'm going crazy, wondering why I can't fall back asleep. Praying. I will not take this anymore, or will only try to take an a.m. dose & skip the p.m. dose. Glad the mucus is lessening, but so not glad about missing sleep."


"I was given the 8mg sample.  By the second day the medication began to work.  I could not urinate for most of the day.  It was a very annoying feeling to feel like you have to go and can't.  I stopped taking the medication after the third day when I felt constipated."


"About 2 hours after taking four 250mg tablets I'm experiencing awful diarrhea stomach pain headache jittery and drowsiness. I ate before and after taking this medicine."


"As an aspiring nurse I did my research on every type of birth control and chose paraguard based on the longevity of protection and the lack of hormones which are more natural to the body's environment. The procedure was simple: lay back, take deep breaths through the cramping, and you're done. Hardest part for me was that my cervix had to be dilated because I am 23, no kids, and didn't have the misoprostol to soften in which some providers use. It was painful but no more than a typical period. I forgot to premedicate, but naproxen is a miracle drug for me! My drive home I was worried because I felt extremely nauseous and faint feeling. Took naproxen when I got home and feel great. Some spotting, but no babies for 10 years! Good luck!"


"My only problem with this medicine is that it costs $4000 a year or $333.43 month. "


"I'm a 55 year old female, 5'2" and weigh 172.5 lbs.  I'm six weeks in and taking 2 in the am & 2 in the pm.  Week 1, down 4.5 lbs.  Felt extremely giddy and happy.  I'm a pretty upbeat person anyway, but sort of felt like a goofball during week one.  That settled down week 2.  I received my ScaleDown scale and began weighing everyday.  Up a lb, down a lb, staying the same. I feel good on the med, must be the Wellbutrin.  I had a weird thing happened 2 weeks ago.  I ride my own motorcycle and was going about 60 mph, and all of a sudden all I saw was green and crashed on the side grassy area. I'm ok sprained my foot. I think I got dizzy and faded out. Be very careful, I think low calorie intake that day is to blame for the crash."


"Used above medication. Only gave temporary relief. Did not eliminate condition. And, way, way too expensive."


"I have been using 0.5 mg for over a year and it has worked well for me. I have no side effects but am worried for effects that may surface in the long run. As with any medication the ultimate goal should be to be free of the need for it but in the absence of such possibility my aim is to keep a look out for medications with the least amount of interference in the natural abilities of my body/organs.
"


"I am 21 years old, have struggled with my weight my entire life and have never been able to lose weight until now. For context I have PCOS and virtually no metabolism so even when I was an athlete, eating well and working out up to 4 hours a day, I was still heavy. When I started Contrave I weighed 210lbs, it has been around 4 months and I am down to 184lbs. For the first time it feels like I am getting result with the same things I'd been doing for years, I didn't change the way I eat I just ate slightly less, and keep a relatively moderate exercise schedule and the weight practically melted off. The only side effect I had was cotton mouth but hey, good way to drink more water, and even that went away once I was up to 4 pills a day."


"It cleared up my swimmers ear but gave me a rash."


"After 5 years of abusing my body, my family, everyone around me. I finally went to detox. I cannot say this enough, YOU HAVE TO WANT THIS. Just by taking Subutex isn't going to change your life, you have to change your life, you have to want this. Either stay dirty or stay clean. I have 2 years clean now and love life, I live life now. No more looking for a pill. I got plenty in the cabinet for once. For those that have done it, bravo, the storm might have been rough, but we all made it alive."


"This is the 4th time taking this in two years and it does make me sick (it's for acne and UTI). Upset stomach etc.. But I can’t really take the other antibiotics they give me hives and fast heart rates. The most disturbing thing I’ve noticed the last 2 times using doxycycline I’ve had breakthrough vaginal bleeding and NO I’m not on birth control and have very regular periods when I’m not taking doxycycline.. It normally takes a while for my period to go back to normal after I take them. Anyone else had this issue?"


"I had unprotected sex. One hour after this happened I took this pill.  A couple of weeks following I had almost all the side effects it warned of, which were horrible, but I did NOT end up becoming pregnant!  Feeling under the weather for a little while is way better than becoming a mommy before you're ready!"


"My 6 yr old son started showing signs of ADHD a year ago. He is in kindergarten and he has 3 types of days green- good, yellow-not the best, red-bad day. Every week he was coming home with 2 yellow days a week for calling out and being disruptive for the last 7 months. He started taking Focalin XR 10mg and has a green day everyday since he started the medication. His teachers say how much better he has been at school and he doesn't run a muck through the house anymore. I'm so happy we found Focalin."


"Xanax (Alprazolam) is a good drug for anxiety and panic disorder, is wonderful while you're taking it. But I know to leave this medicine is so painful and has many unpleasant effects on the withdrawal. It works great for me."


"I could barely breath or eat when I had bronchitis. When I took codeine I could at least drink water and eat noodles. I don't know how I would have survived without it. Although I had to quit taking it before I finished my prescription because it made me feel "drunk" if I don't have major pain."


"it definitely kept me awake. It helped with the cough but no matter what I did I could not get to sleep."


"I was shaking and had terrible symptoms of anxiety disorder for years. Was put on Lexapro and felt better within one day. It's a miracle drug for me, and I have my life back. I'm so thankful. I can finally be a good mom and wife again."


"This is a great product. I am 63 and have been using Cialis off and on for around 3 years. No side effects at all. I take blood pressure pills and cholesterol pills. Half a tablet can last me 2 days."


"I've been on fluvoxamine for 4 days and I can already notice a difference. I'm way less stressed because I'm not harping or obsessing over everything! I hope to get a little bit more relief but I know it will take time. So far though, I'm happy with it! I'll also post an update in a few months. Take care everyone. "


"I had been on Oxycodone for 4 years until yesterday for a back injury which I am still awaiting surgery. I was taking anywhere from 100mg to 200mg per day. After several attempts to quit "cold turkey", the withdrawal symptoms were pure hell and I would reach for the pill bottle again. I was taking my pain medicines as prescribed even. OXycodone was beginning to cause a serious problem and were taking so much of my life away. I talked to my wife and she found a doctor who was certified with the Suboxone treatment. 36 hours after beginning the Suboxone I feel great! My pain is manageable and my thought process is so much clearer. I thank Heavenly Father, my wife, and my doctor. Highly recommended."


"It's amazing. Never thought I would be able to quit, but after 4 weeks I've stopped. Been smoking for 33 years, pack a day. No side effects of any kind. Try it, you won't be sorry."


"Took this med for a month at 20mg and I was one of those who began to notice positive effects overnight. It improved my mood exponentially and since I've never had a sex drive (from depression) I actually gained one while on Paxil. Sex was much more pleasurable. Unfortunately I thought I could find a med that was even BETTER, so was put on Cymbalta and Abilify, but have had miniscule improvements. Tomorrow I'm going to start back up on the Paxil."


"Reading the reviews on here made me anxious to take the medicine but I did. I wish I had waited until I had a day off because the painful cramps, diarrhea, and nausea made me call in. This lasted for maybe two hours. However I still count this as a good experience because I'm cured."


"I suffered from psoriasis for about 5 years and then started with severe pain in my fingers, then my wrist, elbows, shoulders, knees, and finally my toes. I had no idea what was wrong with me and I literally thought I was dying. I was only 46 years old.  I was finally diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. I started Humira and within 2 weeks I was pain free and have been since. I have been on Humira for over 2 years now. I have not suffered from any side effects at all. Humira also cleared up my skin about 90%, and the only symptom I still have from the PA is the fatigue. Before Humira I could not throw football with my kids or catch a football I was in so much pain, now I can throw ball, ride bike, play basketball whatever I want to do."


"After reading all of these helpful reviews, I thought to myself...why not add my input in order to help other ladies that might also be struggling with the never-ending journey of finding the right birth control, because my god is it frustrating.

I got the Liletta IUD inserted in May 2016, so it's been in for nearly 7 months. The insertion hurt a lot, and I was in a fair amount of pain afterwards (could hardly drive myself home). I bled for a month or two, and after that it was like a dream. No periods. Perfect skin. No weight gain. I kept having to remind myself that I was protected and didn't have to worry. Then about 3 months later I started experiencing incredibly bad acne all over my face. Still experiencing it. Getting it out asap."


"Helped lower my daily Lortab usage. Was taking 4-5 10mg daily now only 2-3 a day."


"I lost 10 pounds effortlessly during the 2 week free trial. After 6 days, I had lost 6 pounds and at that point, started forcing myself to eat. I'm wanting to achieve a steady, reasonable weight loss. No side effects other than slight dry mouth and sleeping more soundly. An interesting side note, Belviq is curbing all of my addictions...sugar, bread, alcohol, gambling. It's amazing so far. I'm taking Belviq 2x daily with 1/2 phentermine tablet."


"After trying Seasonique, Yaz, and Ortho-Lo, I am sooo relieved to find this pill. Side effects are minimal compared to the others and period is very light. I felt compelled to share my positive experience after reading so many negative ones. Give it a chance"


"So funny how some of the responses say Chantix didn't work. I have smoked for the last 13 years around a pack or more a day. I have tried to quit on many ooccasions but was not successful.  Like many new endeavors, losing weight ect, unless you truly want to quit, nothing will work for you please do not blame the medicine or program! I took Chantix for a month, had some of the symptoms like crazy dreams, it made me a little tired and most certainly take with food. I noticed the first week not smoking as many cigarettes, I purposely step down the numbers I smoked every day, by the 3rd week I laid them down! I had a few trigger moment but got through them and have never looked back.. one day at a time and truly wanting to be free is the way."


"I have been on Amitiza for five years, and am truly grateful for it.  I was lucky to have a bowel movement every 5-7 days before Amitiza after trying other prescriptions, Miralax and high fiber diets, and this medicine was a God-send.  When I was recently hospitalized for two weeks, the hospital did not carry the medication and I had to wait five days to have someone bring it from home and have it approved by the hospital pharmacy to give to me, and I paid the price for being off it for that long.  I am astonished when doctors have not heard of this medication because it has been my savior from constant constipation."


"Just had my baby 3 months ago. I've had the Mirena for about two months now and I've had light non-stop bleeding since it was inserted. I'm losing my hair and every once in a while I get cramping. I like that I don't have to worry about birth control, but I'm a little worried about the bleeding. I've experienced mood swings and loss of sex drive."


"I've been using Lutera for a bout a month now and I hate it! My acne is so bad

On this brand. Although it does protect against pregnancy which is good. I haven't gotten a period yet. Just a little bit of spotting. When I 1st started taking Lutera I got real bad body aches... And I feel very moody... Will be talking to my doctor about switching back to Aubra"


"So I wanted to write this all out in hopes that it might help someone who was in the same boat as me facing the colonoscopy prep: filled with pure anxiety and fear! In the past, I tried only the GoLYTELY, enemas or dulcolax— all of which made me extremely sick. Based on my previous colonoscopy experiences I was so incredibly frightened that I would be in pain, writhing on the ground, nauseous and weak, feeling like I was going to throw up for hours on end. All those fun things. I think I most definitely had PTSD from my past. I scoured the internet recently looking for any tips from people and I gathered all of them into notes for me to follow the day of prep. I AM SO GLAD I DID. I can now say that I am no longer fearful of the prep and believe me that’s very hard to believe I’m saying that. Here’s my experience, I have no idea if it will work with every single person reading this, but I hope that it will provide some comfort. My doctor decided to give me SUPREP this time because there is less quantity that needs to be consumed. The few days leading up to the prep I ate a somewhat low fiber diet. On the day of the prep, I had a light breakfast-eggs and white toast and tea. Then throughout the day, I had chicken broth and Jello—just to keep my food intake up so I wouldn’t feel like I had such an empty stomach. Then an hour and a half before the first dose of the SUprep, I took prescribed medications Zofran to prevent nausea and Ativan to help with anxiety. Then at the scheduled time, I drank the first dose of the SUPREP. I made sure it was chilled in the fridge (which it has to be cold) and I had a straw to sip it, which helps. Now here’s where the important part came in. This stuff does not TASTE GOOD. I am not going to sugar coat the way it tastes. However, I equipped myself with lemon slices and gatorade and every time I took 3 sips of the prep, I quickly put a lemon slice in my mouth or took a sip of gatorade and swished it around my mouth. This helped with getting the taste out of the mouth. I have no idea what I would have done without those lemon slices. This actually was the most important tip of all. Then I drank my water and applied Desitin on my bum. This was the second important tip. This prevents the pain and soreness from all the wiping and BM’s. In the past using enemas or dulcolax, the BM’s hurt so bad and were so explosive, but these were not—they were warm and fairly gentle coming out most of the time. I had good BM’s for quite a few hours and then was even able to watch a few movies on my computer! Then I slept for a few hours and did the exact same routine again with the second dose, not forgetting to take the nausea and anxiety medication before drinking. This was a completely different experience than last time and I am so thankful I found these tips. I hope this helps someone out."


"I'm am so pleased that I asked my Doctor to put me on Pristiq.  I feel like I am living my life again.  I was in a very dark place before and I have seen the light."


"I can honestly say this birth control almost ruined my life. Immediately I noticed a change in my mood and was crying all the time which wasnt like me. After being on it for a few months I started getting these weird light headed spells. I would mostly just ignore them until around month 8 I had a full blown panic attack out of no where. I had never experienced anything like this before and was extremely scared. That developed into months of anxiety and panic disorder. When I finally realized it was the bc causing my issues I stopped taking it and my anxiety went away. That was 4 years ago and I have never experienced anything like that again so I 100% believe it was because of avaine."


"I have the WORST allergies during spring and nothing has worked. I would wake up every night with asthma and sometimes my abuterol inhaler wouldn't even help me breath or get the mucous up. I might sneeze like 4 times a day instead of every 5 minutes. If my nose gets stuffy I use an all natural homeopathic nasal spray called  Bioallers. The combination of these two things makes me feel normal once again! OH and I take Singulair right before bed and it helps me sleep so well. No side effects so far either (been using it a month)."


"Citalopram has given me my life back. I was nervous, panicky, overwhelmed by thoughts, feeling vulnerable, at times even agrophobic and like I couldn't cope.  Now I would describe myself as fairly confident, happy and self-assured. I still have some bad days but generally Citalopram has made all the difference.  I have also had therapy and joined classes such as confidence building and positivity. These classes have also made a significant difference to me. No real side effects from citalopram either, except dry mouth and feeling thirsty - which really isn't a problem."


"I've been taking the 10mg dose of Lexapro for 3 weeks. I'm actually quite impressed with the improvement I've seen so far, as I've heard you often need a solid 6 weeks to feel the effects. I no longer have this sense of dread when I wake up in the morning. I'm not "triggered" as easily either. Something so simple like dropping a pencil would result in depressive and suicidal thoughts for hours. Now I can brush most things off without an issue. Fatigue, VERY restless legs and vomiting were rough the first 2 weeks but have subsided now. No problems with weight gain, insomnia or nightmares/hallucinations. I still have some lingering anxiety and I'm hoping I'll get even more of a boost in my mood in the weeks to come, but so far so good."
