"I have been taking Contrave for three weeks and two days now, and as of this morning lost 17 pounds! I am also on a low to no carb diet, only what sugars are in fruits and veggies. I haven't walked as often as I need to, but plan to do that more. I had a little nausea at first, probably from the meds and from eating no carbs. I am so thrilled! I have 70 more pounds to go, but I am determined to do this. I am hypothyroid for last 15  years, so was skeptical that anything would help me. This has been great for me!!! Good luck to all! I received a coupon from my doctor and had to go online to register. This coupon saved me $230. I paid $70. The pharmacy originally said it was $300. There was NO WAY I could do that."


"Severe head feeling hot. Felt like head was swelling. Severe swelling of the face. Extreme itching in hands and feet. Confusion. Only took one tablet."


"This is the worst birth control I have ever used. I have been taking it for two weeks now and I have literally gone crazy. I'm not myself at all. It has made me insanely emotional, I cry all the time not to mention I'm very very depressed and have thoughts of suicide. I am also very irritable and find myself snapping at people for no reason. I would never recommend this pill to anyone."


"Viagra works great. Get a little headache from the blood pressure drop. But it works great better than I thought! My insurance would not pay for it. Brought it overseas very very cheap."


"I have had Ulcerative Colitis for 13 years. Asacol is good for maintenance of active ulcerative colitis."


"Hi, I am on this site looking for information for my niece who is has had an IUD for a couple of years. After reading so many women comment that they tried the IUD because of heavy bleeding, I wanted to share my experience. I had very heavy bleeding and painful periods my whole life. In my forties I discovered a supplement called Cool Cayenne. It is a cayenne pepper capsule sold at health food stores. It helped my periods become lighter and cramping ceased. When I felt my period coming on I started to take one or two capsules and this helped greatly. If you are on an IUD strictly for a heavy period ( and do not need one for birth control), then you should research cayenne and heavy periods/cramps.  The brand I took is Solaray."


"This medication immediately turned my eyes red and actually worsened my condition. There was the drip and bitter taste also."


"Nauseous every time I took my tablet and I only had half. I would drink a bottle of water and it would settle. 10days and no more smoking - I stopped taking them and still a non smoker. Highly recommend."


"Works great. I've taken them for 6 yrs until switched to diazepam."


"Two words. It works. After years of anxieties I finally started enjoying sex as I should be, minus any concerns that I will loose my erection midway through sex. It did give me a slight headache. But other than that I highly recommend it."


"I just got Skyla placed a couple of hours ago. I went to my local Planned Parenthood. Prior I read the reviews on here and completely freaked myself out and almost canceled my appointment. I went in very nervous. But it was 100% fine. It hurt. Like a bad menstrual cramp and there was a sharp pinch. I took 800mg of ibuprofen before hand, and I was on day 3 of my period. A nurse stood next to me and chatted with me throughout the proceedure, and they gave me a heating pad. It was 30 seconds tops of pain which I could easily breath through. I've had what basically feels like a constant cramp since then, but nothing bad. A heating pad is all I need and I feel fine. I've never had children. I'd definitely recommend Skyla."


"I was prescribed 0.1 mg tablets of this for anxiety and sleeplessness. It was good for anxiety attacks because it put me straight to sleep in about 10 minutes, but it didn't help me sleep through the night. It also didn't help with everyday anxiety."


"Imitrex works for me even if I let it get to the really bad headache--hate to take because of the tightness in chest and achy throat afterwards.  But-they do the job and I always say later I should have taken it in the beginning."


"If it weren't for this drug, I would not be alive. It has saved my life on numerous occasions of asthma attacks. I love it."


"I was on Orsythia for about a year. It did its job in that I did not get pregnant, but I had to quit taking it because of the awful side effects. Weight gain was minimal but definitely occurred. After about 6 months my acne became worse than it has ever been, but even that wasn't the worst of it. Orsythia brought my anxiety to an all-time high, and I was experiencing awful mood swings. All of these symptoms practically disappeared within 2 months after quitting it. I did not have anxiety before taking Orsythia, and now even though it has been almost a year since I quit (haven't taken another birth control since) I still have bouts of anxiety from time to time. I believe my anxiety was triggered by this birth control."


"I took the split dose at 8:00 pm within a hour I was sick to my stomach.  At 1:30 I started throwing up while sitting on the toilet.  I have not felt so nauseous in a long time.  At 2:30 am I was scheduled to take another dose which I promptly started throwing up.  I was still very nauseated until the colonscopy at 7:30am.  I now am scheduled for another colonscopy because the bowels were not clean enough in 5 years even though there was no polyps or any other issues.  I will never have another colonscopy because of my experience."


"My son who is 16 years was given this medication and it worked very well with Seroquel 25 mg at night. This has saved the life of our family. Such a beautiful thing to see my very hyperactive son sleeping deeply."


"Lifelong migraine sufferer. This medicine is the best thing for killing a migraine. Whether I take it as soon as one starts, or try to suffer through it for a day or so using over the counter meds. I know once I take a Zomig I will have relief with a half hour. I am extremely thankful this medicine exists. "


"My son was born with asthma as was I.  When he was 9 years old he had a major asthma attack that sent him into cardiac arrest. ONE puff on a Primatene Mist inhaler saved his life.  ALL the prescribed medicines he was taking DID NOTHING FOR HIM. I have been wheezing for 2 months now AND was hospitalized last month for the first time in over 30 years due to my asthma because I couldn't get the Primatene Mist inhaler.  "


"Took two one day then 2 more 36 hours later.  Did not help much with my constipation. Also very bad leg cramp during the night. Also cramp in my left arm which went down to my fingertips.

I have not experienced such painful cramp before so will not take these tablets again."


"Very disappointed , 12 weeks in and  no visible results. I am experiencing  very bad back pain every other day or so just got to the point of unbearable at 12:30 am  . will be stopping  otezla"


"I had tried for about 18+ months to find a medicine that would help my depression.  I bottomed out and was contemplating suicide.  My doc prescribed me Trintellix.  I noticed a difference the very first day.  I was skeptical at first, but I got better and better as the days went on.  I had a few occasions of nausea, and even vomited once, but that all went away after about a month.  Trintellix saved my life, literally."


"Not every medicine is for everyone, but as one who has tried most of the major pharmaceuticals for major depression, panic attacks, severe anxiety and anxiety related bouts of obsessive compulsive disorder, I can tell you Lexapro is the only medicine that I've been able to stay on and be effective for my mental well-being...it is the only one I've had no side effects with. Other SSRI's have either: made me more anxious and/or depressed, dry mouth, BAD weight gain, or extreme fatigue making me into a walking zombie during the day. I've been on Lexapro 6 years now taking from 20 to 30 milligrams each day. During the months with the most sunshine, 20mg is effective. During months of winter, I have to bump it up by 10 mg's. I supplement with 4000 to 6000 IU's of D3 daily"


"I wanted to try seasonique for the 4 periods a year.  On my 1st month I started bleeding on the 3 week and still bleeding 3 weeks later.  The bleeding is really annoying and doesn't seem to be letting up.  It's thicker consistency and small clots.  I will give this a little more time but so far I'm not happy at all!! After reading other comments it seems more bleeding is expected then what's advertised!  :("


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for about 5 months and I've had  a great experience with it. I no longer get headaches before or during my period, which has happened with every other birth control. My period is much lighter and my sex drive is still there. I had been on the ring prior which was a complete nightmare. Loestrin 24 is much much better than I had hoped for. My cup size went from a B to a C....but the downfall for me is the increase appetite. I have a petite frame, before I started the pill I was  5'2 and about 115lb.  I'm now just under 125. I didn't mind because, like I said, I'm petite and on my frame it's almost unnoticeable. But if you are trying to lose weight, in my experience..It  would be impossible on this pill!!"


"I have mixed feelings about Skyla. The people were right when they said getting in was painful. Hands down one of the top worst feelings ever. Still get period, still get cramps. But..... I never got never got pregnant and that is great."


"I am taking 20 MG and it has completely taken away my anxiety. I do not like the sexual side effects but its much better then getting panic attacks. Highly recommend this drug for anyone who has GAD."


"I had no good effects from other benzodiazepines to control my panic attacks and I was on Xanax since 15. I'm 21 now and I'm on 3mg XR and 2 x 2mg instant release a day. My dose may need to get upped now and then but now I feel good, haven't had a panic attack in a while. It doesn't make me tired or anything. I'm basically on 7mgs a day just 2 different types of it and it works great. I recommend it but I'm afraid to come off it. "


"I was on levothyroxine for 10 years and it never did anything for me. My levels were never optimal and I continued to gain weight, be depressed, and waste money on a useless drug. So far with the Tirosint my only side effect is a slight headache. For the first time in my life my hormone levels are excellent, but my wallet is empty. Tirosint is ridiculously expensive. I use a compounding house which sells a month supply to me for $68 (Willow), as opposed to the  $125 per month that CVS wanted. I feel the price is a disgrace and something needs to be done about this. I have insurance that does not cover this drug (BCBS). My doctor gave me a discount coupon for $35 a month but Blue Cross Blue Shield would not honor it. Ask your doc for this."


"I'm 31 and diagnosed with ADHD for 23 years. When my parents started me on Ritalin in 3rd grade their only regret was letting me struggle for so long. I was always being sent home from school for playing in the mud, walking out of class, etc. I was talkative and happy, but my grades were well below satisfactory - I had very few teachers encourage me, rather I was written off as a disruption. My first year on medication was hard, I had no appetite and trouble sleeping. After about 6 months all the side effects went away. I could eat and sleep no problem. I have been on Adderal now for 17 years. I graduated college, have amazing job - not sure where I would be if nobody saw the signs and helped."


"After having emergency gall bladder removal, I started having constant diahrrea. Unannounced, uncontrollable and awful.

I went to doctor and was given Questran.  After day one I never had any
more problems.  He said I would have to take it the rest of my life.  Surely not,, because it costs $95.00 a can for 45 days.

No side effects.  If I get to feeling constipated, i stay off for one day and stay home near the bathroom."


"I had this IUD put in almost two years ago. Pro: I'm not pregnant. Cons: Constant spotting still to this day, no sex drive, can feel it every now and then, and my boyfriend can feel it but has gotten used to it.  I'm not sure why everyone says it hurt to be put in, because mine didn't. I did have to go back to have the string cut even more because it actually started to come out of me. Personally - I wouldn't recommend getting this product. I will be taking mine out as my boyfriend has realized how annoying the spotting is. Can't wear any cute underwear because you never know when the spotting will start up and not having a sex drive is a killer. Why have an IUD if you don't even have a sex drive..?!"


"I started using saxenda mid May 2016 and I have lost 86 lbs so far
pretty regular 2 pounds a week
I followed the directions and let my tummy tell me what to eat in those
first few weeks when you have no appetite.
All has gone well scale never went up always down
I started at 274 pds and goal is 154 so I have 34 to go
I'll be done by summer and am very pleased.
keep with it"


"Tried a few mood stabilizers this year. Lamictal made me severely agitated and couldn't sleep a wink. Zyprexa turned me into the Cookie Monster and made me put on weight very fast. Put on this and have had great results. I don't get upset like I used to, and the racing thoughts have diminished greatly along with the anxiety."


"Have lost 6.9kg since late May 2016 when I started taking the pills. Take them with almost every meal unless out and don't have them on me. Weight loss slowed down in month 3, but now coming up to 4th weigh in on a week and a half and have added exercise which boosted weight loss immediately. Hoping to have lost at least another 3kg by Christmas, but hopefully more!"


"For ringworm.  It tastes horrible - you are ruining my life"


"I woke up one morning unable to walk and in horrible pain after a day out walking on the board walk. I took everything I could think of. Finally took Celebrex and within one hour the pain was gone. "


"I've been on Prozac 20mg since almost 2 months, for having severe depression and suicidal thoughts and death scenarios, I just want to say that this medicine is a life savior, it works miracles, regardless the fact of having so much dizziness (especially when working out), but thoughts get more positive by time."


"For me, there is no side effects. I took this medicine twice in a month. Saturday at 6:00 am, 6:30 full glass of water. 8:00am @bathroom stops 930am

The third time I tried to used it does not work. I like the medicine. In Puerto Rico is not for sale anymore."


"I have to say that Contrave works. I have been on this medication since the beginning of December. I didn't have any of the side effects in the beginning. I have lost approximately 20 lbs at this point. I have no more cravings for coffee or sweets. I no longer like the taste of wine, which I recently discovered. I try to take the dosages 12 hours apart and have learned not to take it on an empty stomach. Within the past 2 weeks I have had bouts of nausea and vomiting. I am fine after that but absolutely think it has something to do with my stomach not tolerating acidic foods, unusual for me. I have learned to have a different relationship with food. I now eat to live instead of living to eat."


"My glucose level went down from 14.5 to 7.0 just in three months on Metformin 500mg twice a day and Jardiance.  In addition, I have lost approximately 14 lbs.  I was under the impression that I lost weight with diet and exercise.  However, it has brought my blood pressure significantly low to the point I had fainted.  Therefore, I have stopped taking Jardiance.  My family physician recommended that I have soup or juice to deal with the low bp.  I used to have low bp and it went up in the recent years, now back down again.  I have gained some weight back since I have stopped Jardiance.  I wish I can continue with Jardiance but with the risk of fainting again?  I have mixed feelings now."


"I was switched to Microgestin last May after years on Yaz. I have extremely heavy bleeding/pain/fatigue that lasted 21+ days with 1 week break, then repeat. Yaz stopped my periods for years, but they started again, so I switched. Microgestin seemed like overkill, but it has stopped the bleeding and I was instructed to skip the placebos. I have gained 15 lbs that won't budge, but as I've never been overweight, dr. dismissed this concern. Mood-wise, I’ve always been laid-back but I find that it’s easier to become overwhelmed. However, I have more worry about in general so I cannot solely attribute anxiety to it.  Over all, it’s doing what I need it to do, but as I continue to sort out my lady problems, I would like to back down."


"I am 48 year old women in good health. I did not notice a difference at all. The only side effects I had were some tiredness and loss of appetite. Good luck."


"Switched because my old pill was crazy expensive. This pill personally just does not agree with me! No weight gain but sore breasts constantly, lack of periods, nausea, shortness of breath. Been on it since December (now it's May) and I've had about enough. My sister was on this pill also and she said she also would go months without a period (which is just get on your nerves)."


"No affect at all on me. Belsomra does not put me to sleep or even relax me. I never had a med the didn't do anything. Get something else. I was up all night and exhausted all day. It is useless. I tossed and turned in the dark trying to relax. Nada"


"I have been using Drixoral since it was prescription only, it works. What do we do now?"


"I've tried various medicine options. I take 10-20mg of generic doxepin per night now. I still wake up during the night but I fall back asleep much easier than before. I get 5-6 hours of good solid sleep per night which is great for me. The only time I have problems with drowsiness the next day is after I take 20mg at night. "


"I suffer from degenerative disc disease, depression secondary to that, G.E.R.D. and old-lady disease. I can barely walk 50% of the time without pain or extreme effort it seems.  I take Cymbalta and Vicodin for chronic pain, as well as naproxen sodium. Without phendimetrazine 105mg timed released or phentermine 37.5mg, I wouldn't have enough umph! To get moving to just do some of the activities of daily living.  It is an excellent medicine for weight loss or even weight maintenance.  It is further an excellent medicine to counteract the side effects of pain medication; and thus, it should be classified as a medication for this use also, not only for weight loss."


"Been on Enbrel for 4 years. Was totally clear for 2 years when I got a kidney infection. Went off Enbrel for 8 weeks and had a couple of spots reappear on my calf. Back on 1 shot a week and it just will not clear up the calf again. Still worth it, but I thank the man upstairs for my insurance coverage."


"I have been taking Yaz now for a little over a year, and i have noticed a few effects of it. Some good and some bad.

It cleared up my acne a lot, made my periods WAY lighter and less painful.

The bad side effects are that I almost completely have lost my sex drive, also it makes my eyes super sensitive, I always have to wear sunglasses and can barley wear contacts for about 3 hours.

When I first started taking it I got really bad nausea but now I don't."


"I've been taking 10mg of citalopram everyday now for 7 days and then had to up it to 20mg after that. Have never felt so rough! Those first 7 days were hell for me, really bad headaches sickness and very bad depression that felt worse than what I had to begin with! I hadn't been able to eat anything either 4 or 5 days into it, but i tell you now the first day I took the 20mg start of week 2 absolute different story. I'm like a different person. Please stick the first week out as that was the worst for me it does get better I promise. Stick it out I nearly didn't but so glad I did now! i feel brilliant now. These tablets do work but give your body time to accept them and you'll reap the benefits. Be strong and stick it out. Tomorrow is another day :)"


"Terrible watery diarrhea and gas.  Bronchitis is better though!"


"No side affects on my six year old the first two weeks except for a tummy ache, the last two nights she has woke up screaming completely tripping throwing pillows scratching her head hallucinating and seeing stuff I do not recommend this pill to anyone.!!!! Expecially a kid she is on the lowest dose 1 mg. she won't be taking it anymore!!"


"This medication worked very fast except I got an yeast infection by the 3rd day. Women, definitely take Canesten during the course of this medication, if you are sensitive to antibiotics."


"Before this I was on the Lo Lo estrine (which I'm back on). This pill was way to strong for me it would cause me to miss a period every other month. Also the side effects were so BAD. I was super emotional the entire month I would be taking it. I also had so much anxiety and I would even wake up anxious frenquently. That never happened so often before. The bleeding was irregular. I also was bloated all the time. I definitely wouldn't recommend this pill."


"First my Dr had me on Restasis, and after 2 months, it really did nothing for me!

Now, the doc prescribed Xiidra!  I've been using it for about 6 weeks, and it does seem to be working!  I do have a huge problem, though!  I'm assuming it is mostly older people using your drops?  Why have the medication, in such a hard plastic container, that a senior citizen

with Arthritic Hands, cannot open your packaging, or squeeze the eye drop dispenser, easily?

Hopefully, someone at Shine, will take the time to read this, and answer me?  Thank you!"


"I had AFib first time

Lol"


"I take three tramadol per day:  1 with brunch at 8am; 1 with a snack at 2pm; 1with a light snack at 8pm.  This schedule keeps me pretty much pain-free all day.  Cons to using this medicine: I am hypoglycemic, so I can't take Tylenol for any type of pain.  Also, tramadol doesn't help with any kind of headache, so to treat headaches, I use Advil. If I use Tylenol with tramadol, I have a hypo attack with much sweating and dizziness.  But I like this medicine, because it keeps my fibromyalgia pain manageable and I suffer no additional side effects."


"I suffer from crohns colitis, & also I have severe PTSD  anxiety. I was constantly nauseous & puking off & on for a week straight. I went to the ER & they prescribed me this medication. I took the medication, it took away symptoms for just a few minutes, & I was back to puking 45 minutes later. I hate these pills!"


"I only took this pill for 5 days and it ranked up there to be the worst five days ever. I started taking this after 9 months of no birth control pill, but my periods and cramps were so bad I decided to go back on the pill. My doctor decided to switch brands because with the last pill I was on I had a lot of breakthrough bleeding. So I started Blisovi and within 24 hours I was moody, irrational and not feeling like myself. As the week continued I could not get control of my emotions, crying was constant and I began to feel very depressed. I called my doctor and she said to stop taking it immediately. Never again! I felt like I was possessed!"


"One week on it now.  Went up to 1 pill twice a day now and finally feel like it is helping my appetite. I have lost 3 lbs since last week. I thought my appetite was increased last week but I guess I did better than I thought.  No side effects....no nausea, constipation.  Maybe a little more irritable.  Feeling confident about it!"


"Today is my 5th day of taking the medication.  I too was worried about taking it after reading some horror stories regarding the side effects.  I am happy to say that so far the only side effects that I've experienced is a little tiredness the first day and the bad taste in my mouth which I've noticed that I've experience more in the middle of the night upon waking for various reasons.  All in all I am pleased, other then the fact that I have to take them for 14 days.  Good luck to all!"


"I took 2 pills at the same time around 7:50pm. I had eaten a spicy chicken sandwich  around 4:30 and I had a slice of pizza at about 7:35pm. About 20-30 minutes after taking this medicine I had hot flashes. Sleepiness, stomach pain and nausea. I ran to the restroom twice, releasing everything I had eaten. I messed up and took a few sips of 7up and continued to puke for about an hour. My boyfriend then got me a ginger ale and I'm fine but really sleepy. I recommend taking at night in the comfort of your own home. But I'm curious to know if I need to take the medicine again or wait it out for the follow up test?"


"I have been using this medication for approximately 1 year.  It is a hassle to take 2 pills, 3 times daily and sometimes I forget the afternoon pills.  However, it has help my Reynauds tremendously.  Just found out my insurance company will no longer cover this drug and I will have to pay full price.  I tried one other drug and had terrible leg cramps.  Not sure what I will do."


"Great for treatment of opiod withdrawal. But hard to get off of in my opinion"


"The first four days it left me in a daze, but with the more time that passed the less it seemed to affect/help me."


"I have mixed feelings about viibryd. I'm switching off of it now, after about a year on it. I found that I did help, but seemed to make me more anxious at first. I didn't have any other side effects.  After being on it for a while, I noticed if I was even a couple hours late on my dose, I would be a complete mess--crying, panicking, just feeling terrible. I've never had such a strong reaction to just being late on taking a medication. I'm not even talking about missing a full day.  This is the main reason why I wanted to get off of viibryd. I stayed on it for fear of withdrawal symptoms and my depression and anxiety worsened. Currently taking celexa and today is my first day with no viibyrid."


"Great medicine for controlling pain/chronic pain.

non addictive.the nclenal stands for Nicene which is arcane.an opioid & drug overdose reversal medication.

it works by blocking opioid and other addictive medications from building up in cells/body.

as talwin contains small amounts of opioid

the amazing thing about this medication is while using for chronic pain, it took away all mental urges or desires to think about drinking alcohol.which I had stopped yrs before but had that mental desires or thoughts too drink.Cravings so to say.it may have same long term result for addicts who crave other drugs..amazing!

An important fact that is not a warning from drug co.is .it blocks relax meds before procedures su.colonoscopy, relax medication.scary"


"I have had psoriatic arthritis for the past 12 years every treatment failed on me including photo therapy, humira, enbrel, etc.  I was covered approximately 70% and completely covered on my face and head.  I tried stelara and after 6 months got decent clearance I could see my face again.  I am at one year now and at month 10 it just failed hard,  I right back where I started.  I can just shake my head, hair, and face over a sink and completely cover it scales, chunks, paste, and slough from my psoriasis.  I very frustrated .  No one should have to live through this.  I haven't been on a date in over a decade.  No one even talks to me, I am in complete isolation. I hate stelara because it gave me hope"


"It works! I used to pray for something to help me-Xolair answered my prayers!I started in March 2015 and the 1st shot my nose cleared. Since then each shot was a journey. I was on Prednisone too often and April August  September usually meant using the nebulizer  prednisone & hoping I wouldn't go to the hospital. Walking from family room to kitchen was challenging,walking my dog-no way! I now am taking my dog out 4Xday.Also I want to do more things. My allergist never told me about Xolair, I found out on Internet! Please try it as it is lifechanging!
Good Luck!"


"Probably the best medication, compared to the others. The best thing you can do for taking it for long periods is to stay on a consistent dose."


"I have not missed a day of treatment and have not seen any change in my nail. I have one more refill to go, so remain hopeful but doubtful I will see any change."


"I've had both the cortisone shots and the Synvisc-One.  I believe they were equally painful, the Synvisc maybe slightly more, as the fluid seems to be quite a bit thicker so there was noticeably more pressure.  However, it's been well over 6 months and I haven't had any pain.  I've recommended it for my father and would recommend it if the normal cortisone shots don't seem to work any longer."


"I have been looking for Drixoral for the last month and cannot find it anywhere.  I usually purchase it at Sam's Club and thought that they discontinued carrying it.  Reading the other posters, I now understand that it is no longer being made.  I've used Drixoral for the last 20 years to relieve sinus headaches and without Drixoral, I am again experiencing these headaches.  No other product I've used has worked."


"I must say I really like this pill vs all the others I've tried. I was on minastrin before switching to this. I gained 26lbs on the minastrin. It also effected my mood terribly. I was mad and angry all the time. I've been on lo loestrin for about 3 months and I love it! I've already lost almost all the weight I gained and no mood swings!!! I also don't have a period on this pill. That's a big bonus! Not every person responds to the pill the same but I'm so glad my OB have me this."


"There are coupons for Movantik but you can't use them if you are on Medicare or if you don't have insurance. This is first coupon I have seen that you can't bypass your insurance (because your insurance doesn't cover it or you need p/a) and just pay cash. My doctor wants me to try this medication. I have been taking Tramadol which is a synthetic narcotic for chronic pain. I am allergic to all opoids and have major sensitivities to many other medications. After reading the reviews I think I will keep working with buffered Vitamin C crystals and Magnesium Citrate capsules. I had stopped taking all the supplements doctors had me on when the major constipation started but started working w/ these since they cause diarrhea. Prune juice too"


"Has worked GREAT for me.  No side effects."


"I have taken it for over 10 years and I have had excellent results and I am still taking the amount that I was started on and my readings average 95. If you can beat that with another medicine please let me know what it is."


"10 years ago I took Chantix to help me quit smoking. I had no side effects or problems while taking it. I only had to take it for 1 month and I was able to quit smoking. I was very happy with Chantix."


"Double hernia"


"I have suffered from eczema on and off for many years, recently I had a massive reaction on my face which resulted in severe eczema all over my face and neck. I had very sore red patches and very red burning patches. I felt rock bottom and after seeing a dermatologist she gave me Elocon. She gave me confidence that in 4 days my eczema would be completely cleared. I put it on at night and it stung just a little for the first night, 3 days later it had all cleared and my skin super smooth. This is a fab ointment and would certainly give a 10 out of 10 review."


"Worked great for me, I had a high level of anxiety and within 2 weeks of taking Buspar I felt great no more sadness or anxiety."


"I suffer from both sleep onset and sleep maintenance insomnia. My doctor recommended that I take 5 mg (half a dose) of Ambien prior to bedtime. In terms of overriding sleep onset insomnia, this product is excellent. It also does a good job of keeping me asleep throughout the night; however, I still wake up approximately five to six hours later. (My ideal amount of sleep is seven to eight hours). Still, getting six hours of uninterrupted sleep is preferable to eight hours of fitful sleeping. It's also worth mentioning that Ambien doesn't leave me feeling groggy in the morning.

Unlike some of the other reviewers here I haven't experienced any of the more pernicious negative side-effects, e.g. the various somnambulist activities."


"I fill better, I can go on with my life."


"Had sleep problems since College (43 years old now). Took all the normal heavy duty sleep medicines like Valium and even Benadryl. These only put me in a half sleep state and made me feel horrible for days on in. After 20  years of suffering from insomnia and after a bout with meningitis in 2000 my friend, a neurologist who was seeing me for post meningitis asked me how I was sleeping. I told her I haven't had a good nights sleep in over 20 years.  She wrote a script for Ambien.  I have never been so in love with a pill in my life as I am with Ambien. I fall asleep within 15 minutes, get a good 7 hours hard sleep and wake up bright and early and feel rested like I have not felt in decades. Ambien is a miracle drug and thanks to the genius who made it."


"I have taken this pill 2 times , once when I was 16, once when I was 18, both times I freaked out , first time I had all the side effects , second time I had no side effects. Both ended up fine !!"


"I was taking 60mg same time every day. It seemed to work better at controlling my GERD symptoms after about a month. But around the same time I developed debilitating diarrhea. I continued to take it for another month and the diarrhea didn't go away so I stopped taking it. It's only been a couple of days so far and it still hasn't gotten any better."


"There is no reason to hesitate with this product whatsoever. This product is the bottom line product when treating acne. I have worked as a formulator for a cosmetics company and I am trained chemistry and future physician. This product worked so well for me it has changed my life completely. I have suffered from acne since I was 11. OUT of all the products I used this is the only one that works. The best results are achieved by using it after you shower and wash your face thoroughly so the medication can penetrate."


"It's changed my life. I can finally function with bipolar. I'm sleeping, calm, productive and I am not indecisive about everything everyday. I'm not drowsy and I can get up on time for work. I'm 45- it's been a 20 year struggle without it."


"I just found out I have bipolar and also maybe skitzo efftive not sure how u spell that. Anyways my thinking process was horrible and I took this medicine and the FIRST day I noticed a huge difference for the first time in a while I felt like a normal person! It was amazing! Side effects I've had were numbness of toungue and bad taste (which aren't bad) but I do sometimes wake up in the middle of the night feeling like my legs are asleep or tingling. But that was the first night I took it and the first time I updosed my medicine I hope that ain't a bad thing and it goes away because other than that its AWESOME!"


"My doctor like so many others I'm reading, left it up to me to decide which drug to try first. I have systemic health issues, MS is just one of them on the list. I tried the Avonex pen Monday 12/5/16, and the side effects sent me to the ER yesterday. 5 days of misery. I'm having trouble urinating, complete body muscle pain when I move, dizzy, and non stop random chills sweats. Its intolerable. Here's what you need to know that the drug companies and doctors aren't telling us. There's no drug to counteract the side effects from this drug and it will be in your system for 30days. To hear this from the ER doctor sent me over the edge. I would've NEVER tried this drug had I'd known this. Not to mention the non stop calls from Bio   wallgreens."


"I, a 21 yeard old male, was prescribed 10 mg ambien a few weeks ago for insomnia. I've dealt with insomnia for several years, I'd lie in bed with my eyes closed for 10 hours and would often not sleep for a second. Or if I did, it was for an hour or 2 and I rarely felt rested. Beforehand, I tried many sleeping aids (Melatonin, Belsomra, Trazadone) and nothing worked. Within 20 minutes of taking ambien for the first time I was out like a light and slept 8+ hours for the first time in years. However, I've been more recently experiencing the problem of not only waking up feeling groggy, but feeling that throughout the day. Even 8+ hours and a significant amount of caffeine later, I feel far less attentive than I was when I was sleep deprived."


"I left Florida for a trip to Budapest, Hungary with an acute case of diarrhea that threatened to spoil the expensive day trips I had paid for. I apothecary recommended I take Lopedium brand capsules (only available in a few countries, not the USA). It after taking just two capsules and as needed for the remainder on the trip, with no side affects.. Imodium A-D is the US equivalent, I understand."


"I have been on Copaxone now for 6 weeks.  Started on Tecfidera and that was just a horrible experience so switched to Copaxone three times a week.  I also encountered an Autoject problem and after one week switched to doing the injection manually.  The site reactions are pretty much gone but I do use heat prior and ice post injection to keep whatever reaction occurs to a minimum.  I have only been diagnosed for 3 months now but I have so much more energy than I have had for a very long time so my experience has definitely been positive!"


"I'm a 26 year old active female struggling to lose weight due to my PCOS. In three months on this drug I lost 4 lbs, the fact that I lost weight at all is the reason I am giving two instead of one star. However, I changed my diet and I started running 5-10 miles a week so I'm not sure the weight loss had anything to do with the drug at all.

I will, however, vouch for the appetite suppression. I can't eat nearly as large of portions at meals and I do think I would eat less if I only ate when hungry but the problem is that, because I exercise frequently , if I don't force myself to eat I am extremely exhausted and lethargic. Also the side effects are real, foot and leg tingling, and short term memory issues were both things I experienced"


"I'm almost done with my 2nd month. I honestly was scared to take this at first after reading the reviews, but it really isn't bad at all. The symptoms Are very mild for me, I get some breakouts but its not that bad. I notice some slight change in mood. I can get irritated easy but I notice it and don't let it bother me. The only thing that bothers me is pretty much having another period mid cycle, wasn't really light spotting either. It was done After like 4 days but I know I'm about to start my actual one in about 6 days so that is annoying. I'm going to keep on this for another couple months since the symptoms are so mild and I'll just get more used to them. All I can say is I love free birth control!"


"This medicine almost killed me. Symptoms worst at 40 mg but there earlier. I ended up in the ER twice and was admitted to the hospital for days after a month with uncontrollable diarrhea, vomiting and the worse abdominal cramps I've ever had before anyone realize it was the Viibryd.  I pass kidney stones regularly, so I have a super high pain tolerance and the lower abdominal pain from Viibryd was as bad if not worse than that.  I had uncontrollable leg and body spasms and agitation and anxiety through the roof.  Tapering off the stuff ended up being just as bad, every time I took the tapered dose I felt like I was taking poison and I would go into convulsions. less serious side effects including, eye pain, odd vaginal discharg"


"Well I've been taking this med for a little over a month now. I will say the first night I took it I did suffer insomnia but only for one night. Now that I'm on the full dosage for about 2 weeks now I am noticing more of a nausea feeling for the past few days. I've lost about 13lbs so it does works for me. However I don't believe I'll be taking for too much longer due to the nausea feeling.
FYI - If you eat any grease or fried foods you will definitely feel the affects. It does force you to think about what you are eating and how it affects you."


"Helped me more than other benzodiapines."


"An excellent medication, out of all meds I tried none were as effective for managing my PTSD symptoms. Completely prevented flashbacks and nightmares and anxiety at night and allowed me to fall asleep very calmly. However I can't give it a 10 because I gained tolerance to the doses incredibly quickly, meaning I had to keep raising the dose to get the same effect, which is dangerous because it is a drug you can become physically addicted to. I would highly recommend this med to those seeking a short term fix while they are becoming stable on another long term med, but would not recommend it as a long term fix due to tolerance and addiction possibilities."


"I have been taking PLAVIX from the day it came on the market because of my unique clotting problem. My heart doctor has me on both PLAVIX and 325 Mg of aspirin once daily. When I developed atrial fibrillation, they put me on warfarin also. Then I started having bleeding problems. They took me off the warfarin and I was fine on the PLAVIX and aspirin, no clot problems encountered."


"Im half way through my second month of this B.C I've never had acne before just the occasional pimple during my period. I have now got horrible cystic acne on my left check and forehead, I'm 24 and have been going crazy these past few wks trying to figure it out then I read all these reviews an related to almost ever post on here. I'm never taking this pill!!!!!!"


"I was put on Provera for abnormal bleeding due to uterine fibroids. It didn't help with the bleeding only made it worst. I had clotting the size of a golf ball and bad cramping...was told by nurse it can take up to 10 days for it to work well I was
on it for 14 days and nothing changed."


"Took this for a WEEK will never take this in my life again it has messed up my stomach really bad it gave me bad acid reflux nausea, Vomiting - I experienced vomiting everytime I ate and drank the last 2 days today was my last day on it. I'm scared that I messed up my stomach for good.  I wouldn't recommend if you have a sensitive stomach."


"My experience with lexapro has been overall well, I suffer from a severe depression ever since I smoked a very potent strains of cannabis which triggered me to get severely depressed and anxious, I didn't take lexapro until about 6 months of it sitting in my drawer after manning up and growing the courage to take half of 10mg for a week until the side effects subsided and raised it to 10mg, I felt less anxious at first then after 2 weeks I raised it to 20mg and felt less depressed and that's what I'm currently on.
I'm waiting till week 8 too see if it gets better to know if I should keep taking it."


"Life transforming.
I've always resisted the idea of medicating mental states, but after a year of utterly out-of-control and misery-making anxiety, I was persuaded to give it a try.
Within two weeks my levels of anxiety had dropped significantly, three months in I feel positive and able to cope with my enormously stressful work situation. This medicine has transformed my mental state.
I do feel more tired on it, and am perhaps experiencing a certain loss of mental sharpness, but that's a price I am happy to pay in exchange for despair, panic and regular suicidal thoughts.
I never expected to find myself buying into "big pharmaceuticals will make you happy", but this has helped me regain control of my life."


"This was possibly the worst thing the Dr. could have given me . Granted, he didn't know any effect it would have on me, but never again!  After about a week or two I had to stop taking them. It actually increased both my depression and anxiety. I was always tired, but I was super jittery as well. My mother informed me that I looked like I was on meth. Thanks, mom!"


"I'm on my 4th pill of Macrobid...ok the reviews here will scare the crap out of you but let me give you a few tips. I made sure my dr prescribed me Zofran so when I took the first pill ( be sure to take it with FOOD) I took a Zofran . I did feel nauseous for about 30 mins and felt a little woozy but it didn't last long ...took the 2nd pill with FOOD and got a headache but nothing horrible and had no other side effects ...
By the time I took the third pill I had no side effects but I still took pill with food and zofran .

Don't let the reviews scare you . I feel so much better after 4 pills as far as my infection and the more the pills get in your system the less severe the side effects should be.

Zofran and food and you'll be good to go"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I had been experiencing sever stomach pain for about a year and a half that included nausea, stomach pain, always bloated, and pressure under my ribcage. Dr perform Urea Breath Test; tested positive for H. Plyri. I completed day 10 yesterday. I was lucky enough not experience any sever side effects. I did experience multiple migraines while on it and I always felt very tired. But just after taking the first full day of it, I definitely felt a difference. Today is my first day without having had taken them and I feel a 100 times better. I actually have an appetite! It's harsh and long and I wanted to give up, but in the end I thought it was worth it. Now to wait 4 weeks before I can get retested to ensure it's gone."


"I have previously taken Wellbutrin, it worked very well for me. Although I was experiencing occasional tremors and loss of focus (otherwise I would have rated it a 10). Because of these side effects I stopped taking it, and fell back into a deep depression. I recently have started taking it again, and the occasional side effects are more than worth putting up with depression. So glad my doctor prescribed it to me. I recommend giving it a try if you've gone through some other medicines without success."


"I just started this a couple months ago and my skin is already so clear! It has never been this clear even when I was on embrel for years."


"I got this inserted 6 months ago and it's nearly been the worst time of my life, no exaggeration. I became a completely different person. I feel exhausted, lazy and tired all the time, angry, depressed and I have lots and lots of mood swings. This has nearly ruined my relationship. On top of that I've bled since the day I got it, and now for six months straight. If you think about getting nexplanon, PLEASE DON'T!
I removed it today and look forward to be myself again. Now I have a sting in my arm, a big bruise and when this all heals I'll be left with an ugly scar. It was sooo not worth it. The ONLY positive thing this has brought me is that I didn't become pregnant, but because of all the bleeding I've barely had sex anyways..."


"So I am on day 2 out of 5. First day was awful, 20 mins after my first dose I started getting extremely itchy on my throat, neck, and face; my bottom lip flared up and I got really nauseous. I turned the fan on, drank a bunch of water and lied down.I was going to discontinue it but after  a good hour all my symptoms went down. I decided to try it again this morning and i'm feeling fine! Still a little burning when I urinate but it is so much better now. Hoping this will work."


"Doctor recommended taking  50 mg of tramadol for pain. I took 1 with no problem took a 2nd 6 hours later no problem. The next day I took one in the morning and the problem began.I felt like vomiting slight stomach pain, hot flashes where I was sweating  and nausea.The pain did go away but the side effect were terrible. Hope this helps someone,thanks"


"I have not even been on this medication for a month and have gone from 2 1/2 packs a day to 3 - 4 cigarettes a day."


"My blood pressure is finally under control.  Have been on several medications for the past 6 years and this one hit the spot.  No side effects after nearly 3 weeks of taking this.  A little expensive but well worth it to finally stablize my pressure.  Thank you."


"I only took it for a week but it caused horrible headaches that were borderline migraines. They would start about 30-45 minutes after taking the pill and would not go away until I went to sleep. I was naseous and dizzy constantly and I would be very warm and hot. It was also causing heart burn which is something that I've never had before taking this pill. I also had zero interest in sex."


"May have some help to relieve back pain.  60mg gave me heart palpitation.  30mg may be suboptimal.  Tried to wean off several times but gave me some undesirable effects like malaise and anxiety.  Urinary retention is a worrisome effect with Cymbalta for me."


"The vertigo seem to go away. I only experience it now when  I lay down and only for a few seconds. But I noticed something different and I don't know if it is the effect of the medicine. My senses seemed heightened, especially my sense of smell. And my awareness seem to be on the edge too.  A sudden sound or even a suspenseful scene in a movie cranks my adrenaline. My son dropped his bottle of milk and I thought I would have a heart attack! My heart jumped at the sudden noise."


"My outbreaks are something that could be seen on the Discovery health channel as an extreme case. My lip swells to a grotesque size if not treated and I would literally shut myself in for 4-5 days and have one trusted friend (who would see my monstrosity) bring me groceries and take my kid to school and bring her back...I would cry whenever I saw myself in the mirror. This would happen about once a year.
Then I took Valtrex....Once you feel a tingling, take two right away...then another two 6-8 hours later..then keep the pattern going for a few days after it's gone to ensure it won't come right back..use Abreva at the onset as well...and relax, sleep, and eat healthy...no smoking. If you do this, it'll be gone within 3-4 days."


"I am not obese but I decided to try Alli as a weight loss supplement to help with my diet because I have zero willpower. I like to eat and eat until I'm full and I like pizza. I was 5'8" and 160 lbs. 40D-29-34. Dress size M/8. With no diet change, I lost a few pounds using Alli. Enough to throw out some too big clothing. At day 90 I changed my diet and began eating healthier and there's a change in my body shape. I had IBS constipation but Alli removed the need for me to take prescriptions for my IBS. I don't have accidents but I am very regular now -like clockwork! And the Alli works for me to lose the few lbs. I needed to lose. I can fit into a 6."


"Taking for GAD. Highly recommend as long as you do NOT abuse it and ONLY take it as prescribed. Starts working in about 15 minutes. Only downside is wears off rather quickly for me, but maybe that's because I've been taking it for so long. You can quickly build up a tolerance, which is a downside. No negative side effects at all. I honestly cannot function without it. Be careful, though. I am not addicted to this medication, but I'm totally dependent on it. I guess I can't say that's a bad thing since it's doing what it's supposed to do, which is help calm panic attacks and keep my anxiety at a more tolerable level so I can function day-to-day. People like me who NEED it don't get a "high" from it."


"I have been on Prevacid for over 10 years now. Take 30 Mg a day. I have used both the prescription and the 24 hr when I run out. Both are fantastic, never had a side effect and it completely controls my acid reflux and heartburn. Stopped eating tums and can eat whatever I choose. It works like a charm for me."


"Effexor saved my life!!!! I was so hesitant at first to try this drug because to me it seemed so powerful compared to Zoloft and Celexa which I've been on in the past. I was also nervous bc of the reviews I read with ppl talking about all the horrible side effects. I'm here to tell you DONT BELEIVE EVERYTHING YOU READ. Effexor is absolutely amazing!!! I had no side effects at all. If I had to say I had any it would be cold sweats for maybe a day but that's it. I take 150mg ER a day and I am back to my old self if not better. My advice is that everyone's body reacts differently to medication and not everyone experiences the same things. This drug is amazing and has helped my depression in every way...."


"I LOVE THIS MEDICATION! I first started out on 10 mg and felt as if nothing was happening. I talked to my doctor and explained to her the situation and then she prescribed 15 mg for me. 12 pounds in a week! I am feeling more motivated then ever to lose weight. Some side effects I have had are hunger, headaches, nausea, and some constipation."


"Taking Clindamycin 300mg three times a day for 3 weeks due to Cellulitis. I'm about to end my third week and for the past 4-5 days I've had horrible heartburn, feels like something is stuck in your throat  and horrible acid feeling in my stomach. The medication has worked wonderfully.  I just hate these side effects. The Dr recommended I ate before taking it to prevent these side effects but even though I eat and take the pill afterward I still feel the heartburn starting in a matter of minutes right after taking the pills. If you're on this get something strong for these effects cause they are a nightmare."


"I've been battling heroin addiction for numerous years..I've tried everything under the sun.  Suboxone, Rehabs, N.A, A.A, Self-help, You name it I've done it...In all my experience I have to say Zubsolv 5.7 are great.  They are no different from Suboxone except the fact that I feel less medicated..they taste better..melt faster..they are cheaper and it actually works. I like this medication because it works and its not just simply a substitute but rather a stepping stone along with NA meetings and cognitive therapy that I'm doing to help me reach my goals in life. "


"I have been taking it for 2 years now . It will drop your blood sugar levels quickly so you need to eat within 10 minutes of taking it . If I exercise alot that will further drop my blood sugar levels . Be careful at first . I take a soda in the car with me just in case or carry glucose tablets until you see how it affects you . You may need to eat more than you are use to .I have not had any side effects"


"I feel better. But I feel that I can't focus.  As well my left side of my face is tingling. I going to stop and call my doctor.  This is not the first I taking this medication and never had this side effect."


"Started May 1st-  have lost 29 pounds as of today June 30th.  Changed eating habits, not much exercise yet but is coming soon. $277 per month.  Used a coupon on line , only took off 5 dollars.  Does anyone know one that will work?   Insurance doesn't pay for mine.  Please help.   I want to continue on this journey but takes a chunk out of the budget."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I've followed my prep to a "T". I finished the first liter a half hour ago, I'm now sitting on the throne and Moviprep is doing an awesome job. I had absolutely no problems, it is probably a good idea to keep it cold, drink it quickly and maybe pinch your nose if you don't like the smell. My real problem with the whole procedure is not having anything to eat in the 36 hours prior to the scoping."


"Astra Zeneca has a wonderful program for low income to limit out of pocket expense according to need. The paper work can be a pain but it is worth it in the end. "


"I take 30mg tabs twice daily for excessive sleep disorder. It has improved my daily living immensely without severe side effects."


"I'm getting ready to finish up my second pack at the end of this week.  I have to say after the first month, I really debated to quit taking it.  I had HORRIBLE side effects.  Constant headaches, muscle aches and spasms and my period was HORRIFIC. Then again this was the first real period I've had in years.  It came on my 2nd week and lasted throughout the rest of my pack and it was HEAVY.  Like 3 boxes of super tampons heavy!  I was breaking out, cramps were TERRIBLE,  irritable and felt like I had no energy BUT I found out I was also extremely deficient in Vitamin D and I needed more potassium.  Now that I'm taking my multi-vitamins, I've found that my side effects have really subsided.  My period is LIGHT and my sex drive has increased."


"Ok so I was due to start this at 7pm. It's now 8:40pm and I'm still struggling to choke down the first dose. I don't wish this on anyone and I shudder to think I have to do this again in the morning. Just make it taste like water!"


"Tested positive this week for Benzo's at a aftercare treatment center. Could not figure it out from my normal prescribed medications I take daily, all non-benzo's until I looked it up on this site. Over three weeks ago I was given Libruium at a detox center. So this must be why I showed up as positive for Benzo's in a urine test weeks after detox is completed. I am glad I found this site and now know the cause."


"I love Apri! I took it for a year, then I got selfish and switched to Jolessa because I wanted to have fewer periods. On Jolessa I had week-long or longer, super irregular periods. I would get breakthrough bleeding at the most random times and gained about 15 pounds. It almost destroyed my relationship, I was so moody and depressed. I switched back to Apri in January and already my periods are back to regular, predictable and short. I have had almost no breakthrough bleeding, no weight gain and no problem with weight gain. It's an incredibly effective and beneficial pill."


"I've been taking birth control for 8 years now and I've been on this pill for 6 months now not by choice (doctor took away my Yaz because of all the lawsuits). First 3 months were bad, mood swings, loss of sex drive and nausea. Fourth month was awesome but the past two months I've been getting yeast infections. Try it for 3 months and see if it works for you, it just wasn't for me."


Hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate / sodium biphosphate

"This medication made me into a normal person!  I always had some kind of urinary tract infection and I would take medication and after I took the last pill within two weeks I had it again.  I'm 65 and honestly I have been infection free because of Uribel.  I take it once a day unless I don't drink enough water or liquid and I will take two.  That's it !  IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE"


"I've been on this medication for seven months. Before this I was on YAZ for five years (with no issues) but after constant recommendations to switch birth control brands from my doctor I made the change.

I find this pill makes me extremely nauseated with terrible head aches the first week of the pills.

I want to try a new one but don't know which on to try."


"This medicine has given nothing but trouble. Headache, Feeling sick and worse of all I now have a very itchy rash all over my body which is driving me round the bend."


"Went on Invokana last year.  Never lost weight but my readings were phenomenal. HbA1c went from 7.3 to 6.2.  I have to go off of it now because it has caused an extreme yeast infection I've had since last November. "


"On for one month, my typically high-patience and calm mood changed to constant irrational mood swings, irritability and mild depression."

"I've been on Safyral for one month and I love it! I had been taking Orth Tri Cyclen for four years and I started having heavy break through bleeding so my doctor gave me samples of Safyral and I am very pleased. I have not had any breakthrough bleeding. My periods are not heavy at all. I had some cramping during my period but not bad. I haven't noticed any weight gain or acne. I get very moody before my period, but that happened before I starting taking birth control pills. I highly recommend Safyral, it's wonderful."


"I've tried many different birth controls for about 3 yrs prior to taking Apri. I took Apri for my acne & birth control for 2 yrs & it worked great. I decided to stop taking birth control altogether about 1.5 yrs ago. My acne came back immediately but my periods were lighter and I didn't have cramps while I was off of it. My dermatologists prescribed me Accutane for my acne but I decided to try birth control again. I've been taking Apri for 4 months & my skin is basically completely clear. Maybe 1 or 2 when it's TOM. However I've noticed recent weight gain (10 lbs in 2 wks) & increase in my appetite & cravings. My breasts are sore & noticeably bigger. I'm worried this is side effects from Apri. But 10lbs is better than acne!"


"Within two weeks of starting to use Clindagel, I had great improvement. I have never had any side effects; I may as well be putting water on my face in that regard, except for how great my skin looks. I have combination skin that's leaning toward needing some anti-aging help, and so I use the gel at night after washing my face, and mix a little of it with my day moisturizer. The other reviewer makes a good point about benzoyl-peroxide. When you need a little more help than the clindamycin, mixing in a little of that really does the trick."


"This medicine is great for daytime anxiety or anxiety with insomnia. Doctors give way too much of this 300mg, 500mg, etc. to non-manic patients when much smaller dosages will work. I used a HALF TABLET (12.5mg) for sleep. Lately I used 1/4 tablet (one in morning and one in afternoon) to lower base anxiety level. You don't need to be knocked out to get relief from anxiety!"


"This is the worst tasting prep I have EVER prepped with. It taste like grape kool-aide and salt water. My stomach is distended and cramping. This is my third or fourth colonoscopy. This so far feels and taste the worst. Not sure how well prep works, I've only done the first half. At this point I don't care as long as I get some relief from the bloating Soon!!!"


"I've heard some stories from friends and also from reading reviews that it was painful. I just got the IUD put in 12/9/2015 and my insertion was a little uncomfortable. I would rate it a 7/10 for pain. After the doctor took the tools out I felt immediate relief. When I got home I did experience heavier cramping. Mind you, I did take 3 ibuprofen before the procedure but it didn't kick in until I got home. About an hour and a half later. I took a nap for an hour and finally felt a little better. At night I rested with a heating pad and that helped a lot. Before bed I took 3 more ibuprofen. And slept really good. Woke up this morning with no cramping and minimal spotting. I'm excited to see how this goes in the next 6 weeks."


"I have been taking Viberzi 100mg for about 4 months. I do not have a gallbladder and almost 2 years ago, I had a bowel blockage. I have had diarrhea at least 4x a week, with high anxiety for travelling. At first, I took this medicine for 2 weeks, 100mg 2x a day, and didn't have a BM for 4 days, so I went off of it for a few days, then tried again, same result and very bad stomach pain. With problems continuing, I found many reviews being too constipating, so I started taking 1 pill every morning WITH FOOD. Since I adjusted the dose, over 2 months ago, it has worked great. I now have a REGULAR BM almost everyday, sometimes 2x a day! I have had diarrhea 2x in the last 2 months, this has helped me get back to living & work. It helped me!"


"First week was hell, more anxiety and panic attacks. Had to leave work early one day for the anxiety, also left a family event early. But now... Starting second week and starting to feel like myself again! As long as things continue this way will be happy on this drug! Without the first weeks' side effects would give it a 10."


"It was great as soon as I took it I felt a huge difference. Now I can function in everyday life."


"This drug is strong.  I find myself not even thinking about my anxiety.  I have been dealing with anxiety/panic attacks for 20 years since I was 14.  It feels good to have some relief."


"This medicine works but you start having different side effects. When I was taking Zyrtec I started having pain in my back and then stabbing pain in the spine, and also an irritating pain of the knees and non-stop twitching of the eyes.

I just recently discontinued my prescription of Zyrtec due to the above side effects. Now I have no pain but have started itching all over my body. I prefer the itching than the pain.

 "


"I have been on Trileptal generic for 5 years. I highly recommend this drug. I've experienced no side effects. It's really a life savor!"


"It may cause stomach irritation.

"


"I took this med for 2 weeks.   Within 3 days I was in full thrown into full a total manic state.  I was awake every night by 3am because I couldn't sleep.  I spent quite a significant amount of money in a short amount of time!  I also put 4 pounds on in this time.  The only positive thing I can say is that it gave me energy.  The reason my pdoc tried me on it was depression and lack of energy.  I also have bipolar and have been on Lithium for 3 years and have been steady until I took Abilify. Needless to say I have stopped taking this med."


"I took plan B a few weeks ago... ever since I have woken up with a bad headache, acne, weight gain, mood changes, light cramping, nausea & extreme fatigue.
I probably shouldn't have taken this as my experience with regular birth control was bad.... Only reason I rates as high as I did was because I didn't end up pregnant. However because of the side effects I will never be taking again."


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


"I've been on Nortrel 7/7/7 for about 6 months.  I went on it to help with my endometriosis.  The first couple months, the pain was actually much worse.  Though that settled and is somewhat better now.  Not totally gone though.  I've gained about 10 pounds in those 6 months.  I retain a lot of fluid while taking the active pills, and my breasts are continuously sore and heavy.  I'm going to try something else with a lower estrogen level to try and get rid of this water weight."


"Excellent as long as I take it regularly. If I miss a dose I have heartburn right away. I wish there were some extended release form of this drug."


"Side effects 1st couple of weeks, tingling fingers, shaking hands, insomnia & nausea...All of which ceased thereafter.  Felt a lifting of mood day two & incredibly better from weeks 3 to 4.  Suffered from depression & anxiety, both of which are much better.  Easier to cope with everything, keep things in perspective & enjoy life.  Noticed lately issue with short-term memory, to the point where I forget the end of my sentences which is tricky...Believe is a likely side effect so will discuss with my GP.  Overall am very glad I started with this as the improvement is fab."


"Was skeptical, but it sure does work, 45 minutes after a 50 mg dose had the best erection in years, was able to get a good one even the next morning. Am extremely satisfied, going to try a smaller dose,think it will be fine for me"


"I'm 49 years old and T level was 254. Normal for a 75 year old and that's how I felt. No energy, depression, lack of motivation, libido zero. I felt like I had turned into a fat 8 year old girl. After only 4 days on the Androgel, I feel better than I have felt in 15 years! Lots of energy, thought processes sharper, motivation has returned. Too soon to tell on the ED symptoms but otherwise it feels like a miracle. I think I'm getting my life back."


"I have been using this cream for BCC 3 weeks, with 1 week left. Apply 3 nights a week. I was not sure what to expect. Using it on my face and neck initially applied over entire area until the red areas  popped out. Now I'm just using it on the inflamed areas. Almost entire face is covered in red sores. Very painful, burning, and itchy. Also developed cough and fatigue. Staff at doctor office said this was normal. I guess if it has a lot of inflammation it means it is working. I have wanted to stop the treatment but trying to stick with it as I'm close to the end. I prefer to not have any additional surgeries. I rarely leave the house, this looks like a contagious disease."


"Was diagnosed in Feb 2008 and started Atripla the beginning of 2009. Experienced fatigue and lightheaded the first week but has been undetectable every since. Great medicine, doctors want to take me off because of their own personal issues and experiences but I refuse. "


"Omg, I loathe taking these pills it's all I can think about all day and I'm only on day 3, of a 7 day treatment for BV.  I feel awful severe headache,  fatigue that has kept me in the bed all 3 days,  nausea, loss of my appetite, dizziness,  bloated, gassy,  muscle aches like I have the flu,  is there nothing with less side effects to take for this??. I barely had any BV symptoms to start with I feel like a dysfunctional zombie.   There's no way I'm gonna make it through 4 more days I can't function like this. Everyone's body is different my body doesn't react well to this"


"After a year of various medicines including Inderal, Cardizem, Multaq, and Toprol XL, I was started on flecainide 50 mg twice daily with Toprol 25 mg XL. It has made a BIG difference in my quality of life. Prior to taking it I had a resting heart rate of 110 and often had episodes of supraventricular tachycardia that sent me to the ER 5 times in 10 months. I felt bad all the time. I recently had an EP study which revealed that an ablation is not an option for me, so I am back on flecainide again. Feeling good again. I am an otherwise healthy 42 yo female."


"I'm 23 and this is my 2nd YI the first one played out on its own and after two period cycles it cleared up this time around was more intense and I don't have medical insurance at the moment so I bought the 7day Monistat cream. The first day was the worse the itching was much worse than the actual infection, it's like it intensified it by 10, the second night I forgot so I took it that morning still itching . I'm on night four and still the medicine causes itching that is very uncomfortable however I have experienced no burning. On the positive it does look like the infection is clearing up and there Is Barely if any itching. Will continue treatment untill 7days are up. Not the best treatment but it does work"


"After having a myocardial infarction on December 22, 2015 , I was still struggling to get my numbers down, after trying just about every statin on the market, they all made my body ache and my joints  so stiff I had to have help getting out of bed. I changed physicians she tried another statin with no luck. She asked if I would be willing to try praluent injections. LONG STORY SHORT NOTICE SIDE EFFECTS NUMBERS HAVE DROPPED DRAMATICALLY AND I FEEL GREAT,only benefit on injections 3 months!!!!!! Thank God for this medication!!!!!!! Got help paying for this from the manufacturer!!!"


"I tried no less than 10 muscle relaxers for Fibromyalgia.  This one was the only one that did the trick and left me with zero side effects."


"While I was only on Bactrim for one week, I feel like it was an experience to share! In this week I did notice a difference in my skin and it was probably the best my face has ever looked. That being said, I developed allergy symptoms pretty quickly but did not make the connection right away. High fever and nausea for a few days before a full-body rash on the 8th day. I was taking two pills a day. Always watch for symptoms and consult the doctor. I would still recommend this medication to others as it appeared VERY promising at clearing up my moderate hormonal acne. If I could go on it again, I would."


"I'm 40 and had my first colonoscopy due to family history of colon cancer (recommended 10 years prior to parent's diagnosis). Took first dose at 10:00 a.m., second at 10:00 p.m. (my procedure was at 7:30 a.m.). Was on a clear liquid diet day before which consisted of Jell-O, chicken broth, and popsicles: I chose not to drink fruit juice as some reviews mentioned acidity making diarhea painful.

Suprep tastes absolutely horrendous...super salty, super strong grape Kool-Aid: could/should have mixed with Crystal Light or Ginger Ale. Got first dose down but only half of second as I was gagging... Doctor had to irrigate some but everything looked great and no polyps! Recommend lighter diet 3 days before for easier prep. Procedure was super easy!"


"I had my first Skyla placed 9/19/2016. Insertion of skyla was probably a 6/10 being that I was 2wks away from my new period. The "sounding" or probing as I call it hurt worst than the actual insertion. It was basically just an awkward experience over. I spotted and cramped for 3 days then everything was normal UNTIL before my first skyla period on 10/02/16. I had almost unbearable cramps that I had to remind myself to breathe through (coming from somebody with an extremely high pain tolerance, this was a nightmare.) My period passed rather quickly, very light for 2 days and last day being "heavy" to where I needed a tampon. Everything is pretty uneventful now."


"I've tried so many birth controls, and never have had a good experience. So naturally, I was terrified to put yet another into my system. My doctor talked to me about Lowestrin FE and after a few days of researching I felt it was worth a shot. Thank goodness I did, I love this Birth Control! The first major change I experienced was the increase in breast size, I went up a whole cup without gaining a pound! Woo! I had a few mood swings/faintness the first week, but otherwise I've yet to experience any negative side effects. My period had been exceptionally short, and so light it had me concerned. After my second month (and more research) I found it's normal to have light periods on this birth control. This is by far the best I've ever tried!"


"I'm 27 and have had cystic acne since age 11. I took Accutane my soph. year of college and it worked pretty much instantly with good results and no side effects (maybe dry lips but I barely remember that). The acne came back though about 2 years later, and I took a second cycle. About 4-5 years later (now) it has come back slowly and I am considering a 3rd round. I've used Proactiv for over a year, and that was working, but has seemed to stop working and severely dry out my skin. I'm nervous about the side effects with a third round, but the first 2 cycles I had no issues- so I'm hoping this round will last longer!"


"I started taking Cymbalta 10 months ago after developing Fibromyalgia. I am a 40 year old male in good physical condition. It is very effective for pain - not 100% - but enough that I have mostly pain free days. The pain in my hands, fingers, wrists, groin, hips and back is very manageable now. I've also noticed that my plantar fasciatis pain is completely gone, and headaches are rare but easy to manage. Side effects include memory loss, some fatigue and difficulty with orgasm. I could not have a job or even be a good father/husband without it. My insurance covers some of the cost. "


"The strongest (for me) Benzodiazepine I have ever been prescribed."


"Helped me get to sleep & stay asleep till they pulled it off the market."


"I'm 19 and this is my first YI. The first night was absolute hell, I laid on my floor rolling around and bawling before I got up and sat in the bath to get it out. Night two and three I also had to go to the bath and get it out. Now I'm on night four and I'm fighting through it, it was itchy for about 30 minutes and now it's finally stopping. This product side effects are really bad, I'm not going to lie, but during the day I feel a lot better, it hardly itches, and it's not swollen anymore. The external cream is very helpful if you apply it in the morning. I dread inserting the cream at night, but hopefully it'll get better. This cures your YI, it just sucks."


"I NEVER take time out of my day to write reviews on products however I felt it was necessary for this.  Overall I am extremely unhappy with Zarah.  I am not sexually active therefore I took it more for my acne.  Before Zarah I was on Ocella which I LOVED but had to switch due to location purposes.  Ocella cleared my face up and did not give me any mood swings.  However, once I started Zarah I broke out SO bad on my chin and forehead, Its been about three weeks since I stopped and I am still suffering from acne.  If you are taking this pill merely just for acne, DO NOT DO IT.  I also got awful mood swings.  I do not advise."


"I've had bulimia for 8 years and I was on Prozac for 3 months, nothing changed. We kept upping it every month,. Maybe I needed a much higher dose? Idk desperate but hopeless right now."


"I have been taking Phentermine for approximately 1 month as of tomorrow, and as of today, I have lost 12 lbs. I love the energy that it gives me. I can move around all day without getting tired. I am exercising 30 minutes 5 days a week, and I am eating about 2 small meals a day because with the pills, I don't get hungry. I did experience a few side effects in the beginning. Dry mouth and insomnia. Now the only side effect I continue to have is dry mouth. I'm not saying Phentermine is for everybody, but it works great for me."


"I was given Subsys as a replacement for 30mg instant release OxyContin. 800mcg 4x per day instead of 4x 30mg OxyContin. My usual opiate regimen is 3x 80mg OxyContin, which has been at this level for 16 years now. Combined with the 4x 800mcg Subsys my pain is controlled more than ever has been (since 1990 when it began), but the dosage is so strict that there are times when I have to live with unbearable break through pain for up to 8 hours. Is my pain under control? Yes, but I live with a pain level of 7-7.5 24/7/365. Without Subsys my pain would be unbearable."


"I am a pretty fit 60 year old who had been experiencing some Benign Prostate Hyperplasia symptoms and had increasingly noticed a deterioration of sexual performance. I was prescribed 5 mg daily Cialis.  It was helping somewhat with the BPH though I decided that the cost to benefit ratio may be far better with another medication.
The sexual performance benefit was another matter entirely and I couldn't be more pleased. The daily 5mg made me feel 30 years younger, the quality of the sex has increased dramatically as I am able to last much longer and ejaculate much better as well.  My wife is both shocked and pleased.  I am now splitting them in half and have noticed virtually no lessening of its benefit."


"7 years ago my Blood pressure skyrocketed 110/100. I was going through some personnel issues at home and Dr. put me on Toprol(Beta-Blocker) didn't work, having heart palpitations. I started running and also changed my Meds to Diovan 160mg. BP went down to 110/70. "


"Positive experience! I have SAD, GAD, Social Anxiety and Depression. I have been taking 90 mg for 10 years now. I had tried Effexor, Paxil, Wellbutrin and Celexa. These had each worked for about a year and then didn't work anymore. I have one side effect that I deal with. I have hot flashes.  But this has been ok to deal with because my head finally felt right. I was able to go off of my anti-anxiety medication some years ago. After all this time on Cymbalta I have gone through some major life changes in the last year and my anxiety has come back. My depression has been sneaking back as well. I am trying CBT with a little success. I think I may need an increased dose or may have to try something new, which I dread."


"I've been on painkillers for a week and a half including codeine and tramadol, so I've been really backed up which led to more pain. I've been suffering with a severe kidney infection and a burst ovarian cyst. I took two tablets at 9pm woke up at 2:30 with cramping quite severe but to be honest nothing worse that the pain I've been in with my problems anyways. Feels great to have a  BM yeah it's pure liquid but that's what a laxative does. I would recommend if it's severe constipation you have especially the type codiene gives you!"


"ALLI works great for me. At first I lost 30 pounds in less than a year, stopped it for a while, gained some back but went back on it and lost another 12lbs. I have been off it for 4 months because of the latest recall and am trying to be good. I loved ALLI because bowel movements were regular and I didn't have to take it unless I ate more fatty stuff than I should. When will it be back? I hope it does come back and soon!"


"My experience with Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo has been good. I have used it for 2 years. I have not experienced cramping or weight gain. I exercised a lot for the first year, but this past year I have not exercised and I have maintained the same weight evenly. I do think that this helps with my facial breakouts as well. I recommend this product, however I have not tried anything else."


"I have been on Qsymia since it has been on the market 2013. This pill is not a miracle pill but if you eat right and exercise on a regular bases you will see results. I was 5'4 and 177 pounds I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and who knew what was coming next.  My thyroid had to be removed and I thought I was doomed. Then I tried Qsymia and where I could never lose anything I finally started to lose my weight. Yay ! Side effects, yes tingling in hands and feet but that went away, dry mouth, there is a mouth wash to help with that, can't sleep work out more and believe me you will fall asleep. So I dropped 35 pounds and I have no more high blood pressure no more high cholesterol. I recommend this for anyone who really can't lose ."


"This is the best diet medicine ever.  I have been taking this pill for years.  I generally take it two days on and one day off for efficacy and it has worked.  When I first started taking this medicine I did not follow any type of eating plan and would stop and gain all my weight back.  That made me realized I had to use an eating plan of my choice, like weight watchers.  Low carb diet is my choice.  This pill has taught me how to eat also.  I ate sweets all the time before this pill and now eat a sweet only the day I do not take the pill.  I recently went off Adipex in December because my doctor feels my heart rate was high (103, 115, etc.)  I went back on them and monitor my heart rate because I gained 15 pounds.  No other medicine out there like it."


"I've been taking Levaquin for 4 days. The Dr said I had a little pneumonia in my right lung, but my xray was clesr??? Anyhow, since she told me to take it I am, but I've been having horrible heart rythym problems to the point of calling the ambulance. My neck hurts, my knees hurt worse and my ankles hurt. It's like all of my bones and joints ache worse. My sternum. It's helping with the sinus infection and clearing that up, but the other side effects aren't worth it."


"I just switched from YAZ to Ocella, and since then I have been so emotional. Crying almost very day and mood swings are crazy! I was not like this at all when I was on YAZ."


"I take tramadol for 7 days every three months following trigger point injections, and as needed for back pain following a car accident. This medication takes away my pain from the injections and when I have flare-ups! Side effects for me include dizziness (if I take it without food), drowsiness, slight insomnia, dry mouth, and euphoria or a floating feeling. I cannot drive or do anything requiring intense concentration after taking this medication. That said, I am sensitive to the effects of medications. Although there are some side effects, overall this medication helps me a lot and allows me to deal with pain more easily."


"I started Lo Loestrin Fe to help lessen the amount of cysts that I get on my ovaries. I had used different birth control pills in the past and had issues with mood swings, depression, and little to no sex drive so I was hesitant to get back on one. I have been on LLF now for about 3 years. It has helped drastically lower the number of cysts I get each year, although I do still get them occasionally. I had very irregular cycles before starting LLF that were light but painful and sometimes came with fevers, vomiting, and severe cramps. Since being on LLF I have had no full periods and only spotted a few times. I have seen no emotional change or acne change since starting this pill, but it may be causing a slight issue with losing weight."


"I was prescribed Saphris for bipolar disorder. The morning after my first bedtime dose I had a number of side effects. I experienced confusion, dizziness, hallucinations and acute short term memory loss.

As a result of the confusion and acute short term memory loss, I unintentionally overdosed on my morning medications resulting in extreme doses of medications. The most concerning was a 900mg dose of Wellbutrin (bupropion) which in doses of 300mg or more can cause seizures."


"The Best Muscle relaxer and pain relief  ever!"


"75.000$ hospital bill
I was on sprintec for less than a year when I one day fainted. I was taken to the er and was UNCONSCIOUS for 3 HOURS. After CT scans and MRIs they found out I had blood clots in my lungs literally blocking oxygen going to my brain and a blood clot in my HEART. I was in the ICU for a week and had to give myself shots in my stomach twice a day for 9 months. Now I'm on blood thinners for the rest of my life.
Thanks sprintec.  Never use this drug."


"This was the first birth control pill I went on. I broke out at first, but it went away after about 2 months. Breasts went from an A to a C (only good side effect) but it made me gain weight and also made me really emotional and angry all the time. I had to switch because of that. Now I'm on Lutera."


"I used the Monistat 1 yesterday around 3pm & didn't feel any tingling u till 3 hours later. I have to agree that it is uncomfortable but it is bearable. It has to get worse before it gets better. The cottage cheese like discharge is starting to come out today & it feels very uncomfortable. I will be much happier when the irritation inside the vagina goes away.

I would still consider this product because the warning labels do say that the side affects cause intense burning."


"Nausea, migraines, upset stomach. In general I'm very unhappy. Living in hell. Nine pills to go before placebo and I will continue just because don't want to get pregnant."


"After four months with no period I went to the doctor and was put on provera. By the time I got to my second pill my period already started. I've never bled or been in so much pain. The doctor told me to take between 5-7 since I got it early. As of today I've officially been on my period for THREE WEEKS. I now realize the wickedness behind pharmaceuticals. They don't fix you, they cause more problems. My advice to everyone: look up a functional medicine doctor near you. They can fix your cycle, help you get pregnant, fix your thyorid. Whatever the issue is they will get to the bottom of it and they WILL HEAL YOU. NATURALLY. I wish I knew what I know now before getting on these man made drugs with more side effects than I can list."


"This medication DID work, but unfortunately after only one week i was one of the unlucky few who found out they were allergic. I broke out in a rash ALL OVER my body. I stopped immediately. It sucks cause it was making my skin kinda glowy. But its not worth it if your allergic. If your not, then it would probably be perfect."


"I have struggled with BED for years. I have been in therapy and tried many different coping mechanisms. I even tried joining Overeaters Anonymous. Nothing worked. I started to see a psychiatrist who tried me on an antidepressant. While I must admit I did have a general sense of feeling better I was still binging. I have been on Vyvanase 30mg for about 6 weeks now. I have not binged in those 6 weeks! At first I did experience headaches, nothing a Tylenol couldn't take care of. The headaches disappeared after a week. I still feel the urge to binge at times but the Vyvanse along with the coping skills puts me back in control. Thanks to this medication I am in control of my binges and my health."


"I started at 5 mg and after the first week it worked. I then upped it to 10 mg per the doctors orders but am gonna ask if its okay to go back down to 5mg since it was working. I went from not eating, can't get out of bed, can't take care of my kids, depressed, horrible thoughts, can't make dinner, bad with money, just all around sloppy to my normal self. I'm able to think clearly, clean my house, make dinner, enjoy my family. I was afraid to take it but am now thankful . The only side effect for me is sleepiness at night, which is good, and urinary tract infection. Hopefully it was clear up with keflex and a lower dose. I'm okay with it because my life is back."


"This medicine was definitely not for me.
The first two nights I got horrible migraines, and I had more trouble falling and staying asleep. Then I had difficulty urinating (I know it isn't a listed side effect, but once I got off it the problem stopped) I wouldn't be able to use the bathroom even when I had to go for ten to twelve hours, it was very strange. Will not take again."


"I have been taking seroquel for three years and it has changed my life for the good. When I first started taking it I was tired but after about a week I balanced out."


"I have been on this pill for 3 weeks and already can't wait to switch to something else. After the first week I became severely depressed with heavy mood swings and no sex drive at all. I cried at everything. I felt nauseous almost every day. "


"Switched from Atenolol after many years due to usual beta blocker problems (tiredness, etc) and blood pressure wouldn't stay down long, tightness in chest and breathlessness. After 3 months on Coreg CR, tightness in chest much better, breathlessness no change, blood pressure stays down all day, but is 147/91 at night and in the morning. It is 113/57 two hours after medication, but I am also taking Isosorbide ER at the same time, which also lowers blood pressure as a side effect. Coreg CR is much more expensive, but I would rather take this anytime compared to Atenolol. Also beware of mixing these with Nasonex (no matter what they say) and any cold decongestants with phenylephrine. They will increase blood pressure."


"When I was diagnosed as bipolar I was put on Zyprexa.  I took it 3 times a day and it was great at eliminating my mania, depression, and anxiety symptoms.  However I had two side effects, I would get tired and I gained over 100 pounds over 12 years.  So my doctor suggested lithium and I am on that now and doing fine and I have lost 30 pounds in 4 months."


"I took Yaz for about 4 years.  I loved it at first.  I did go up a cup size and got a little curvier, but overall, it was great.  The last year, however, I started to turn into a monster during my period.  I got severe migraines right at the start of my period and it would last about two days.  I am not sure why the medicine changed on me, but I recently switched to Loestrin24 because I couldn't handle the mood swings and headaches any longer.  My doctor said there was no link in all of these recent changes...I had to disagree with her though because I already feel better after switching. "


"I took this medication for 6 months due to extreme monthly bleeding caused by fibroids. I didn't have a period or spotting the entire 6 months or for 3 months after my last injection. I did not have even 1 side effect. It was a great experience. Hopefully I will have the same success with the Depo Shot!"


"I have been on Xanax 1mg TID since 2013. This has been a miracle drug for my anxiety. I also take Celexa 40mg daily in combination with Xanax. Within minutes of taking my prescription, I feel a tremendous amount of stress relief. I normally take 2 at bedtime and sleep straight through the night and never wake up groggy. I feel refreshed each morning, and get ready for work. 2 thumbs up for this medication. Those that abuse it, you give patients who truly suffer from anxiety and depression a bad name."


"This works amazingly. I've had a problem with sweating for so long and this was a life saver for me. However if you get it prescribed by a doctor I recommend that you test how often you put it on yourself. I recently had Hypercare, which according to my pharmacist had the same exact ingredients as Drysol, so my doctor told me how much to put on a week etc. But a horrible burning and redness happened in my armpit and a lump came about from using it too often. So seriously use this sparingly and test it yourself how often to use it. Everyone is different so you may only need to use it a couple times a month or week etc! Just a warning for new users!"


"I'm 18 years old. Completely afraid after having unprotected sex, I took plan B about 27 hours later. There was no ejaculation inside, but the risk still runs with pre-ejaculation. Only a couple days late, I started my period. I had no side effects at all from taking Plan B, but I did make sure to have it with food. Ladies, I'm not sure if it worked for me, or if I was even at risk of getting pregnant, but take the necessary precautions. The stress, the fear, the unpreparedness, it isn't worth it. Always keep it safe from STDs with protection, anyhow. Plan B is a back up plan, use birth control and a condom! Good luck and relax! Stress can delay your period! <3"


"I was in such pain. Everyday I would push myself to go to work. Once I started taking lyrics I noticed a considerable reduction of the pain in my body, my headaches, nails, skin and feet pain diminished 50%. My energy level increased and my depression seemed less."


"I was prescribed Voltaren gel for my MCP joint, which experienced remodeling of bone after my 14-year career as a deep tissue massage therapist.  I am a chiropractic student, so I went the conservative route first: adjustment, ultrasound, cold laser, Alpha-stim, microcurrent probes.  Finally I had a series of x-rays on campus and unfortunately, there is a large osteophyte on the volar (palm) side of the base of the 1st metacarpal, along with serious lipping of the scaphoid bone which supports it (you know this combination as the saddle joint).  Voltaren helps the crippling pain of trying to unscrew a jar, open a doorknob, or hold a pen.  I will however have surgery to remove the osteophyte."


"I was on Wellbutrin HCL SR 200mg for 10mos and I noticed a significant improvement with my depression. However, I started to crave cocaine because my Dopamine levels are low.  My Doctor switched me to Aplenzin 348mg ER.  I have been on it for 2 weeks now and I have noticed a great improvement with my concentration, ability to get projects completed and not focusing on cocaine cravings. It has helped with my emotional eating too.  I actually feel like I am a normal 40 yr old married mother of 2 boys. I feel like cleaning my house instead of sitting on the couch in front of the T.V. all day.  The only minimal side effect I have is increased sweating.  I am hoping that this will subside after a few months of taking this medication."


"I took this pill on June 16th 2015. I was really scared & nervous because he came in me. A week later I had some break through bleeding. I took that as a good sign that the pill is working. I got my period July 12th, which was right on time! I will say that I did become a little moody & I gained some weight, but it was all worth it!"


" I have only been on invokana for a few months.  I have had severe yeast infections that keep coming back.  I just get rid of one and a week later it's back, its driving me crazy! "


"This medicine works well to lower my blood pressure, maybe too well.  I feel light headed at times and have a lack of energy."


"Xyrem works for me.  I am able to wake up easily as this medication is wearing off.  I notice feeling more rested with less daytime sleepiness.  I believe Xyrem helps to facilitate REM sleep during the night, so there is less tendency to go into a dream state during daily activities."


"I don't think I could make it without the patch. The pain in my back is at the point i can't live with it. The Fental patch is the only think that has helped. There is no way to take that much  pain."


"I had a viral load of 400,000, was very optimistic and had no side effects. Phsycologically I felt great, was very optimistic and was really looking forward to a new start to worry free life. How ever after my 12 week course I was tested for hep C and am still HEp C positive. Not sure what went wrong, I guess I must be one of the unlucky 10%.

I have ordered a viral load so will see what that is.

So for me not effective, but I would recommend it to others as 90% is still a good success rate, good luck to all who try it."


"I love taking this pill. Set an alarm (or two) on my phone and I almost always can remember to take it. I've tried the Nuva Ring and the shot and both did NOT work well. Nuva ring gave my panic attacks and the shot gave me a nonstop period for three months. This pill was perfect, lighten and shorten my period each month. I've been taking it for a year with no side effects. It's a little costly but it's worth it for me."


"After trying other antibiotics, which didn't get rid of my bronchitis....finally my doctor gave Levaquin and it got rid of it well and truly."


"I started this medication 3 days ago and I never get side effects for medication ever.  This medication messed me up. From the first day I started getting headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting multiple times a day, I completely loss my appetite and the weird side effect I got is hiccups. I literally get hiccups 8-10 times a day. I'm stopping this medication cause it's not worth feeling like poop all day."


"I was on Brintellix for a short time while trying to transition from Lexapro. Unfortunately it was just not the drug for me. I had terrible nausea that never went away, as well as vomiting. Brintellix didn't really do anything for my anxiety, either, and I definitely noticed symptoms of that again. By the time I stopped taking it, my depression was actually worse, but I think it didn't help that I was feeling so bad physically. If you already have digestive issues, this might not be the med for you."
