"I had weened off Effexor in October as I was tired of the side effects. I wanted to go the natural route with exercising and eating better to see if it would help.  Unfortunately I have been going through a hard time and needed something to help me through this. I started on Wellbutrin XL , 150 mg, about 2 weeks ago. I honestly can't tell if it is helping or not. I feel about the same mood wise ...very sad, crying a lot, no appetite, sense of failure and no hope. I know things can't change immediately but was hoping I could be one of the individuals that experience positive results. Hope this changes eventually."


"No side effects. Was clenching teeth on Synthroid. Very pleased with Nature-throid. $21 without insurance. Happy"


"I have had panic disorder for about 2 years now. I've been taking this medicine for a year of this. I had four ambulances rang to my house constantly thought I was going to die. This medicine has helped me a lot but my illness is very strong and still have severe panic attacks from time to time followed by migraines. It is very effective, it wont kick in for a month or so, so just hang in there things get worse before they improve. I take a 20mg dose by the way."


"I thought I would share my insertion experience. I would rate pain as a 2/10. I had some discomfort during the clamping of my cervix and the measuring of my uterus. There was mild cramping and an awkward feeling because having something in your uterus is not something you normally feel. The actual insertion was one second of strong pressure and done! I have had worse cramping during my period and the cramping from prep and insertion went away almost instantly. I highly recommend getting it done during your period (my doctor suggested it) because you cervix dilates slightly and softens to allow menstrual flow."


"I have tried probably over 15 birth control pills since 2005.  I have a health condition that makes it a bit harder for me to be on higher dose bcp's.  I was on Errin for 6 months and was bleeding nonstop, so my doctor changed me to Lo Loestrin Fe.  I have been on it for exactly 1 month and I wish I would have never touched this medicine.  In 1 month I have gained 7 lbs, I am extremely emotional (I broke down crying watching a cooking show for goodness sake), constant heart burn, bad headaches every other day, can't sleep, I am thirsty constantly...the list goes on.  To me the side effects are not worth it."


"I have been on Strattera for over a year now.  I will be 50 in July. This medicine works well for me.  My thought patterns were like a slot machine with three or more thoughts going through my head at one time.  Now my brain is quiet. It's amazing. I sleep well because I can turn off my thoughts. I have lost over 50 lbs. due to side effects at first, but now it's because I find that I focus on what I put in my mouth. It is nice to be able to wear skinny clothes again. I only need to lose about 30 more. Try this medication. I can't imagine not ever taking it. It has been a blessing."


"I have been taking birth control for almost 10 years. After switching insurance companies, I was also forced to switch birth control. I was also placed on the extended cycle birth control to lower the chance of the cysts I just had removed, returning. This birth control made me have crazy mood swings and feel very depressed. I rated it 2/10 because hey, I didn't get pregnant and I don't feel pain indicating my cysts have returned.

I am approaching my 2nd month not taking this, my skin looks worse than it ever has, and I am broken out on my jawline (I would never break out there previously). My mood, however, has resumed to its former chipper self!

I would not recommend this birth control to anyone."


"I've started on Lutera due to the fact that my last birth control pill caused mood swings and low libido.  Otherwise, it was a great pill.  So far with Lutera, my mood swings are gone but I have spotting after hitting the 2nd week mark.  Never had this before, so its incredibly annoying.  Giving it time to work itself out and hopefully things improve!"


"Felt well within 2 days and continued to improve"


"I had this put in while breastfeeding when my baby was eight weeks old. No side effects and my periods have not ever come back four years on - which is amazing as I had years of terrible pain with endometriosis. For me it has been the best thing ever!"


"Taking this as prescribed from my dr to help with PCOS. Instructions state to start on day 1 of period or Sunday start. Because my period started after Sunday, I opted for day 1 start. Well I’m into the reminder pills and still bleeding. Not spotting - bleeding, full on, need a tampon bleeding. And I’m now starting to really feel the effects of the mood swings and almost depressive state. Anybody else have the constant bleeding?"


"Have taken this medicine for over 3 years, I was previously on Pristiq. To start with at 60mg this medication worked for me pretty well for a year or so. Once I became pregnant they reduced my dose ( just to be safe) bad idea, I had a massive panic attack and feel very hopeless. They upped my dose to 60mg again which didn't seem so help so after having my boy they increased to 120mg which worked for about 3 weeks then it was as if I was taking nothing. Figure my body has just become immune. Also bad withdrawal symptoms when you miss a dose. Very dizzy, nauseous, sleepy not a nice experience unfortunately. But please remember this is just my experience with this medication not yours it could be completely different.."


"I usually had mild acne, and a few leftover acne marks. During the summer, I broke out more than usual and it got to a point were I had 3 very huge cystic pimples. A doctor recommended doxycycline. I took it for 3 months. At first, it was breaking me out (as everyone said it should), and really, it kept breaking me out until the month mark (a little after that), and by then I had SO MANY leftover acne marks. I keep thinking that I could've waited for the 3 terrible cystic pimples to fade and I would've avoided getting all the leftover marks. I'm off doxycycline for about a week now. Its going well, I'm not breaking out more than I was on the medication, just tiny zits here and there that fade quickly. Assess your risk/benefit ratio before."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Certainly easier than the prep I used 10 years ago. I started prep at 4:00 pm and was still "responding" at midnight. Second dose taken at 5:45 am and was much easier than night before. Elimination was clear by 8:00 am. No nausea, cramping,?just chills."


"Had anxiety and insomnia that I could not control due to ptsd and chronic pain lorazipam controls my symptoms unlike the other 6 meds they tried before lorazipam"


"My doctor prescribed medication for depression. I have tried three different kinds and had terrible side effects. I am taking Xanax occasionally when anxiety or panic occur and it works for me just great. Generic version alprazolam takes a little longer to kick in."


"I've been taking 80/25 for over a month and it's working fine.  Only side effect I've experienced is slight dizziness at times. Micardis is wonderful."


"After taking Xyzal for only 3 weeks, my quality of life has vastly improved.  The first 2 days I felt a little sleepy.  The only symptom I still have is a runny nose in the morning, but it goes away after several hours.  I took Zyrtec D for over a decade while living in Los Angeles and my allergy symptoms were controlled, but some days I could barely speak because my mouth and throat were simply too dry.  After moving to Arizona, Zyrtec D was failing to control my allergy symptoms and I was dry everywhere.  My skin itched, my eyes and ears itched and hurt.  I tried both Claritin D and Allegra D which provided little to no relief."


"I give this to my German Shepherds for food and environmental allergies. It works better than most, and doesn't make them sleepy like Benadryl. Highly recommended!

I've used myself for hay fever."


"I rate this a 5 because I'm not sure what else to rate it. I've had it for 2 years now. I've tried the pills and the patch and hated both! I have one problem with skyla and it's the cramps. I started skyla at almost 18 years old. Before that my cramps were a breeze. There were pains but they were tolerable. After starting skyla my cramps were horrible. I'd be on the floor crying because the pain was so intense! No medicine even slightly eased the pain. Idk if this is just because it was just inserted wrong or if it's just how my body reacted. But I know when I got it inserted it hurt very badly and continued to hurt for 2-3 days, while I was told it'd only hurt for a couple hours. If you get skyla I hope your experience is better than mine!"


"Very good product! Effective without any side effects. Good experience!"


"I started this med for BPH and it worked ok, still early. The extra benefit was the way it works for ED. First of all, there are some side effects that hopefully most can get thru as more of an annoyance than a serious long term effect. Yes, it will give you one heck of a back, or legs, or neck ache. I increased my Magnesium and Calcium intake and that solved it for the most part. There should be a way to get past those aches.

  The difference vs Viagra is Cialis side effect is very mild for stuffiness, flushing, and eye issues. Also, it last longer as Viagra wears off. You will always be larger flaccid and sustain an erection longer. I usually lost stamina with V during sex and sometimes later it was back. Cialis,anytime you are aroused."


"Delsym is ok at cough suppression, depending on severity, but if you want to have hot liquid diarrhea all  night within hours, then this is your medication.  It sent me to the toilet faster than the laxatives you take the day before a colonoscopy.  And it did not stop until 12 hours later.  This is the single most poisonous substance I have ever ingested. "


"Not good. Within days I am having terrible mood swings. Glad to know I am not the only one. Calling doctor. I'm going to stop taking it. Hope there r other options"


"I use ultram/Tramadol 50 mg for breakthrough pain usually. Normally in that capacity they work okay. Prefer them to having to use a second opioid that makes me drowsy or more constipated. Right now it has become my only pain med, and taking max dose of 150/8 hrs is a joke. If you have real pain long term I find a common opinion among chronic pain sufferers that this is true."


"I have been taking phentermine for exactly a week today and I've lost 8 pounds, going from 182lbs to 174lbs. I'm so excited and hopeful. The only side effect that I experienced was a little sleeplessness, but it subsided after three days.  I can't believe how much energy I have and the advantage this gives me over what I eat. I'm learning how to eat right and exercise daily. Only 42 pounds to go!"


"My doctor suggested I go on Yaz after a good 8 years of being on a previous pill and basically experiencing acne the entire time.  Anyway, I've been on Yaz for a month. I'm glad I read reviews before because I probably would have given up and fully entered a hermit life if I didn't know that a major breakout the first month or two is normal. I have gotten acne in places I've never had before - along my jaw line, even on my neck. It's terrifying and I'm only hanging in there based on the people that swear by month 3 is gets better. However, I will say, I am happy with having experienced no other side effects. Weight has never been a problem for me, but I actually lost 5 pounds. Here's hoping that month 2 and 3 brings better luck!"


"I got my first depo shot about a week ago. I went right from the pill to the shot. this shot is RUINING my life right now. I am constantly nauseas, I have chronic fatigue, and I have constant head aches. I also can't stop eating and feel hungry even after a big meal. I am praying that these side effects deminish bc it is making my social life, professional life, and personal relationships very rough."


"I used Saxenda for 6 months with little or no side effects. I loved it...then my insurance decided it wasn't going to pay for it so ...off I went.  Now I am just trying to maintain the weight loss...25lbs...I gained back 6 right off the bat...huge appetite the first couple of weeks off drug.."


"Prozac completely changed my personality to worse. I was a worrying, anxious person and after 3 months of prozac I stopped caring about anything, starting having agressive bouts of being irritable, and also killed my libido.

Regret having taken this. Therapy is the answer for me and I am sure for maaaaaaany people who take this medicine."


"I have moderate to severe rheuamtoid and until I got on Humira I was unable to do much of anything.  I was misdiagnosed for almost 2 years and since the first injection I've had great success.  "


"I have non-union/unfused sternum from open heart surgery. This is one thing that really helps with the pain. Only bad thing is insurance will only pay for it if I have shingles. I only wish the FDA would do further studies so that those of us who need this patch can get our insurance to cover it. The insurance covered it until 2016."


"I started using Eva Mist after a hysterectomy.  I saw results after a week of using one spray each morning.  No more hot flashes, the night sweats are minimal, the vaginal dryness is much butter and the mood swings are improved.  I'm no longer suffer from insomnia. After about a year some of my symptoms started to recur so my Dr increased my dosage to 2 sprays each morning .  I was worrred about taking a HRT but my Doctor evaluates my contined use and I keep up on my yearly well woman exam.  The benefit from such a small dose have been amazing."


"I take the 40 mg of Relpax as needed for migraines. I have had migraines for over a year now. I also take a daily preventive medicine so I feel like with the preventative medicine that if I need to take the Relpax it is very helpful.

The only thing I do not like about it is that it tends to make my neck and jaw sore. But other than that it does it's job for me and get's rid of my migraines and hardly ever do I have to take 2 of them."


"Ok so I've had nexplanon for 17 months, almost a year and a half. Since getting it put in I have gained roughly 25 pounds. I gained up to 30 pounds 4 months after getting it in. My weight will fluctuate about 5 pounds. I have dieted and exercised and will lose a few pounds but then it goes right back up. Also, my acne has gotten worst! It used to be just on my chin now it radiates up my cheeks too. I have gotten acne scars and stretch marks, bad stretch marks from gaining the weight and the acne. I also bleed everytime after having sex. My periods were nonexistent at first then spotting a lot, now I spot about everyday but not enough for a pad or tampon. I gave this bc a 5 is because I have not gotten pregnant."


"I have been on Apri for 4 months, I'm 20 years old. This is my 5th overall birth control but the best yet. I have had some over emotional moments or as I call them "birth control" cries but nothing terrible. My appetite isn't out of control, on my period though is another story. On this particular pill my period in much longer, around 8-10 days. Sex drive is pretty normal, and weight gain has not been out of control, as long as I watch my diet and get my steps in every day I stay in the 120-130 range."


"As soon as you get your first outbreak you need to start taking this immediately. The outbreak will only get worse without it and last for weeks. My first outbreak was heart wrenching. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. But once I started taking the medicine my symptoms rapidly improved. I probably get less than one outbreak a year but when I do have one I take this immediately and it knocks it right out."


"In high school I took Loestrin 24 FE and never had any skin problems, my skin was always clear. I was switched to Lo Loestrin which has lower hormones and I guess it messed up all my hormones because I started breaking out in the worst cystic acne. A new pimple would come up every day. Now it is out of control and I'm starting to develop dark spots (scarring) from the cystic acne. "


"Took first pill yesterday. Noticed almost immediately no appetite. Got a hummus wrap for lunch & couldn't even eat half of it; I can usually eat the whole thing. Dinner I ate the other half then took 2nd pill. Now as I write this almost 14 hours later after that 2nd pill I wish I had never taken it & won't take it again. Last night chills. My arm tingled all night long & thought it was signaling a heart attack. That thought caused me a lot of anxiety & I could not sleep well. Got up twice during the night to go to the bathroom & had to hold the wall all the way there as my legs and back were in severe muscle pain. This morning had a hard time dragging myself out of bed.  Most meds seem to react fully on me.  I cannot take Belviq."


"I finished taking epclusa  in November 2016 after it was found  that I still had  hepatitis C genotype 3 even after I was treated in 2005 on an interferon ribavirin regimen for 26 weeks.  Just two days ago I received the news from my infectious disease doctor that Epclusa did not work that I still have been found positive with the hepatitis C virus.  For my wife and I this is very sad news and we are at a loss now as to what to do.  My doctor is at a loss and he has no clue on what to do next and I am reaching out to anyone that is reading this if they have known anybody that has taken this new drug and it has failed them what were the next steps that they took. "


"I use alprazolam since 1999 and feel good. I have a quiet life. Psychiatrists in Puerto Rico do not want to prescribe Alprazolam and affects many people. I used 4 mg and now only use 2mg."


"Seroquel XR has been a blessing for me.  I currently take 600 mg at night.  I have suffered from terrible insomnia but with this medicine. I actually get some sleep at night.  As far as anxiety goes, it works wonders for me.  It totally wiped out my anxiety and I was able to get off of Lithium.  In my opinion, it works wonderful for mania, but I wish it helped a little more with my depression.  I take 10mg of Prozac to boost that. I did gain some weight but the benefits outweigh this problem.  Overall, I think it is a wonderful medicine.  I would recommend it highly."


"November 2015, I saw my doctor about headaches - he saw a correlation to 'a stubborn cold' which I did not have active signs of and suggested OTC meds or later prescribe meds with steroids.  The major problem with my 'bad' headaches diminished until a week before Christmas - migraines, not just bad headaches.  On Wednesday, 1/6/2016, I went to an emergency clinic and was prescribed Fiorinal, specifically to address migraines.
Any time my headaches were severe, I ate and took two Fiorinals.  The pills did nothing to diminish my headaches.  Instead, I napped often with a blindfold.  Today, 1/11/2016, I took two before work. I rated my migraine at 7-8 out of 10 (high pain). At work, took 1 OTC (brand name) Migraine pill; rate a 4."


"I took 10 mg for just over a week at bedtime to help me sleep for back pain, but the lost of taste, or as some say "cotton mouth" is still with me 4 days after stopping the medicines and the grogginess is still in my system. "


"This pill basically gave me a constant yeast infection."


"My rating is only related to insertion because I just had Kyleena inserted this afternoon.  I've read so many horror stories, so I was truly worried, but it ended up not being a big deal.  I took 3 Advil about 45 minutes before.  Things went as everyone has generally said as far as procedure.  It didn't feel good, but I wouldn't say it was the worst pain ever.  It actually came out right after it was placed so she had to place a new one after the second one, but that didn't hurt as much as the first.  So far, cramping hasn't been much of a problem.  I have had some bleeding but not much.  Everyone's experience will be different, but know that the horror stories don't apply to everyone!  Don't let these stories deter you!"


"I got mine beginning of May 2013. For the first month I didn't bleed, but then I got my period early June. I was worried that I was going to be bleeding for the next several months (since I had a bad experience with bleeding with the shot), but I only bled for about two weeks! I haven't had sex yet while on the Implanon so I'm worried that after I do have sex again while on it I might bleed again. But so far I love it!"


"I was using Levimir for the past 7-8 years.  A new endocrinologist suggested Lantus for evening/bedtime use and it was an immediate success."


"I've been on seasonique for years and I've never had a problem, some occasional spotting."


"I normally take Tri-Linyah but my pharmacy was out so they gave me this because it is generic for it.  I've been on it for less than a week and my emotions are all over the place.  All I do is want to cry, my anxiety is crazy high, I am depressed.  Low sex drive, headaches, horrible nausea.  I have even experienced vaginal dryness.  Very irritable and horrible mood swings.  I've never had any of these issues before.  I know medicine affects people differently but I will not be taking this medicine anymore."


"The lowest dose  made him stop saying he wanted to kill himself. The doctor up his dosage and I can see my son smile and laugh again. No side effects at all. He even dances now. He's so funny. Before it was a nightmare with him. He's also on Latuda but that takes 3 weeks to kick in. Wellbutrin XL is a life saver for major depression. No more ups and downs."


"I am a 28 year old mother of 2. I was diagnosed as being Anxious Depressive after battling for 5 years with Post Partum & paranoia. I started on Citalopram for about 2 years. Then 8 months ago changed to Flouxetine, because I was falling back into depression. I talked to my doctor a week ago about my concerns with my lack of libido. I was also still battling getting up in the AM and starting my day. She has added Wellbutrin along with Flouxetine. I started with 150mg for 4 days and today is my second day taking 300mg. It is working wonderfully! I have not noticed any real side effects and wake up ready to take on the day. Because of my anxiety I can't take Wellbutrin alone, but it has been the perfect extra kick I needed."


"I had never had acne until I turned 22, an occasional pimple but a suddenly I began getting cystic acne; it was not severe but bad.  Honestly, I had tried nearly everything for it. Thankfully I was only getting it on my face, but the cysts kept growing and after trying months of prescription levels and regimens of retin-a, benzoyl peroxide, doxycycline, and a few others- I had no to very little improvement. I was about to be put on acutane- thankfully I asked my doctor about clindamycin. Within a week of starting this my face actually stopped hurting. Within 90 days most of my acne had cleared up with a few deeper cysts that had decreased in size by at least 80%. 6 months later and my skin looks like normal healthy skin again. This stuff truly changed my life and gave me my confidence back. Can not recommend it enough."


"I have just taken out my Implanon for about a month ago and I had used it for 3 years and a few months. I really liked the Implanon. It worked, I didn't get pregnant. My periods was usually light and last a few day. I didn't have any complication. The only thing that I didn't like was that I gained 30lbs. I felt like I was always hungry and so I was always eating. I tried working out but I didn't lose much weight during the first 2 year. But during the last year it started getting easier for me to lose weight so I'm guessing it's because the Implanon started to fade. And I also have a sister who used it. She didn't have any problem or anything but she just gained weight. But besides that it was good."


"Take this for migraines, I take this at night as it also helps me to sleep because of the drowsiness, only thing that controls my migraines."


"Very effective related to dryness but stopped when urethra opening turned black."


Esophageal Variceal Hemorrhage Prophylaxis

"My husband is new to this, specifically esophageal varices and the need to take Nadolol.  He has complained of dizziness and being light headed.  so, he is going to take the pill at bedtime instead of with breakfast, that way he can sleep through the dizziness, etc."


"I love it because it helped with my acne and I used to get real bad cramps and heavy bleeding up to five days, but after three months on this pill I didn't mind being on my period. "


"I have been on Qysmia as an alternative to weight loss surgery.  It has worked very well for me.  I have lost 95 lbs!  As my weight went down, I increased my activity level and have been making better food choices but the drug has done the heavy lifting in the weight loss. I have had very few side effects.  I had some constipation at the beginning.  I occasionally notice some tingling in my feet at night and I don't sleep as much as I used to before starting the drug.  I don't feel tired, I just don't require as much sleep. I have some hair loss but that is normal with any rapid weight loss. The great part is I have my life back.  I am traveling, enjoying hiking with my husband, and participating in activities I could only watch a year ago."


"I've had this implanon rod in my arm for about 5yrs. The first 3 years were wonderful, I had no periods, I did have low sex drive and some mood swings but nothing like now. For the past year and a half I've had the most horrible experience with this birth control. Back in may of 2015 I had my period for 3 weeks so heavy that I needed blood transfusions. My blood counts never went back up, so now I have to get blood infusions. I've had to have a mammogram because they thought I might of had breast cancer, thank god that was negative. I have the worst mood swings, I cry for no reason, my hair is thinning, massive weight gain. This is the worst thing I could of done to my body."


"Was given a sample and within two days symptoms cleared up.  Insurance denied giving me full prescription so had to go with Protonix.  Within 3 days of taking the Protonix all symptoms returned.  Don't know what the difference is but the Dexilant works."


"I started Paxil last week. First pills I've taken my whole life, I'm 24. It appears to be working. The 5th day I felt really up beat and good! So far I'm satisfied. No panic, anxiety or depression."


"I have struggled significantly with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome since 2007. I am mid 30s. The CFS is much more debilitating than the fibromyalgia. Nuvigil has been the only treatment making a significant difference. I can now function much more than 3 hours a day. Nuvigil is changing my life."


"Took this for migraines and seemed to work great for months. I had about a three month stretch when I noticed I had a constant low grade fever, achey and flu like symptoms. After much research determined it was due to the beta blocker. Went off them and felt my old self again."


"I took Natazia for 4 months after taking Levora/Portia for 2 years. My libido went WAY UP, in the first 2 months everything was fine, my period was light, my appetite decreased, and I even lost a little weight. However, in the last 2 months I had bleeding every 2 weeks. I bled in Days 10-15 exactly like a heavy/regular period. I began getting chest and facial acne and headaches (which are not normal for me). So after 4 months, I had to switch. The increase in libido was awesome, but it is not so awesome to be "unavailable" for additional days (beyond period) each month."


"Amazing drug. After trying everything for a week to get rid of the worst yeast infection of my life, I was prescribed Diflucan. Within 15 minutes, no lie, yeast started dumping from my body. Kinda gross but that's what was making me feel so horrible and frustrated had waited a few days after Monastat didn't work.
But word to the wise, drink lots of water after you take this; there so many toxins that get released into your body when yeast dies off, especially that fast. I drank a lot of water and didn't experience side effects or headaches with this med."


"This was given for my lyme disease. Second week after my second injectable dose 9 hours later start with a hip pain by the end of the day  the pain spread through out my both hips and lower back to the point I can not even get off my bed.  Took strong dose of pain meds no reliave of the pain"


"Has help sudden urges but still have frequent urination"


"First brand of birth control ever, was feeling iffy about it from the start since the doctor said it was a "very basic brand" to start me off with. A week in and I was getting a headache after every pill, along with nausea, bloating, spotting, and just a general feeling of being constantly hungover. Fortunately I was taking it at night but it would mean I would be like a zombie for the rest of the time. I'm only just finishing the first pack but I already called to get switched to another brand. Not a fan."


"I started taking Enteragam 8 days ago from December 8th to today December 15th for my  Ulcerative Colitis. The first three days, one packet, after that two packets a day. I have had no symptoms of any kind whatsoever good or bad, and no improvements to my lose stools. I did notice very, almost black stools. I will continue taking it for the next week and see if anything changes."


"So I've had the implant in for a year and a half. For the first half a year, I essentially had 1 long period that would have a days break from bleeding here and there. It did not hurt nearly as much as my usual period and it was not as heavy, so it was just more of a nuisance than anything else, and stopped me being able to have sex. After that, my period came for a few weeks at a time and would start randomly. Half a year of that and now my periods have stopped completely. I've had no other side affects, aside from maybe being a bit more moody and having more mood swings. It's been half a year of no period and I am loving it. And it was free as I live in the UK and am under 25!"


"ON Tiroaint for about 4 months. I certainly have more energy. I have been on synthroid, levoxyl, lecothyroxine and nature throid, this seems to work the best.  BUT_ I keep getting rashes in odd places, like my chest and now the backs of my shins, I am starting to think it is the meds as I have not switched detergents and the one I use is free of scent and dyes.  Anyone else suffer with rashes on Tirosint. I won't stop, because the rash is better than the way I felt before Tirosint."


"I started taking Saxenda 2 months ago. At first I felt like it was working. I am down 7 pounds the start of my 3rd month taking Saxenda   I am not sure it is working the best for me. I still am  hungry all the time but have been really trying to change my eating habits. I have no thyroid and am tired all the time.  I just got my levels checked and my doctor said they are right where he wants them to be. He feels I should have lost a lot more weight then I have.  I am hoping some one has some advise for me on what I can do."


"I went on this drug on the advice of my physician. It was horrible, I lost 8lbs but my a1c went up from 6.9 to over an 8. My cholesterol went from good to bad and I was always thirsty, which means I stayed looking for bathrooms. My endurance and circulation got worse too.As soon as I was taken off my numbers got better. The weight came back but my overall numbers got better.
 Now I'm off with better numbers but I'm still trying to get my endurance and circulation better. I still get winded easy but I'm working on that.
 I suggest to stay away from this medication. I changed physicians and the New one said he doesn't lie what he's seen and that he feels that this medication set me back."


"Tried it and quit within 2 weeks. That was 6 years ago"


"I got prescribed Doryx, along with two topicals, Aczone in the morning and Ziana at night, when I was having moderate acne. I never have had extremely bad acne but I started to get multiple extremely painful pimples so I decided to get some treatment. The Doryx along with the two topicals work great, still get a few pimples here and there but much better than before. HOWEVER, with the coverage on my insurance this pill costs me $75 for a bottle of 30, 200mg tablets. It was $25 when I first started taking it about a year and a half ago and has just gone up in price ever since. Works great but is extremely expensive in my opinion."


"I have been on it for 3 months now. No breakthrough bleeding at all. Short light period. Have had a few more headaches but nothing Advil won't take care of. Great results with this pill. A lot less moody than with other pills."


"I am 19 and was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in elementary school. I have had my fair share of ADD/ADHD drugs that I have liked or disliked. For years I had been taking Concerta but I felt like it didn't do much for me. My grades started slipping during my sophmore year in high school and I decided that enough was enough. So I did some research and started reading about Vyvanse. My doctor didn't know much about it because it is a fairly new drug. I started taking 50mg of Vyvanse when I was 18 and have seen nothing but positive effects. I went from a 3.0 to a 4.1 GPA. It only lasts for about 5-6 hours so my doctor perscribed 5mg of Adderall to take. I have loads of studying to do. This drug is simply wonderful. The reviews are helpful."


"Took for 9 months for maintenance of ulcerative colitis. I now have kidney damage. Please make sure your doctor checks kidney function regularly while taking this."


"Had to take a higher dosage for a few day's before it started working.  It is working great now.  Really easy to take."


"I have had, what I think is, a minor case of nail fungus since 2010. I saw a doctor and was given Lamisil pulse therapy with no luck. Later, the biopsy I requested came back clear. One dermatologist said it was a zinc issue after running tests. Still no change in nails after zinc tablets. Another dermatologist said my toes were fine (even though they looked so chalky) but gave me a cream for my pinky fingernail that had white discoloration at the top and a red color from the middle to top of the nail. No improvement. I finally just saw a podiatrist who didn't do a biopsy but assured me it's fungus. One month & I think there's clear nail growth taking over. I've been thirsty and a little itchy on my legs, but that's the only complaint so far"


"This has most likely been a life-saver. After numerous medications (trial and error) this allows me to live again."


"First birth control and I've been taking it since May which is now about 4 months. Its been great! Had a good amount of breast swelling and tenderness as well as headaches for about a week or two in the first and second month which is minor is my book. I use this BC to skip my periods. And last month I started to see brown discharge so I made that my cue to go with the 4 iron pills and start my period. The day after I took the pink pill again it completely stopped. No red and no brown. Only downside. It is expensive and my insurance does not cover it so once my samples and co pay card doesn't cover it, I will have to find something else."


"I can not say enough good things about this med. I had a crazy experience with anxiety that came out of nowhere when I turned 28 and it was a long bumpy road for sure but now almost 4 months in I am back to normal. It definitely also helped me get priorities in line such as making my health a priority over late nights and drinking. I by no means was a hard partier but I had my fair share of nights out with friends. I now find it completely ok to go out, have a glass of wine and take it easy. The first month was rough. I had everything: nausea, increased anxiety, I lot almost 10 lbs from zero appetite but slowly and surely everything went away and I feel really good now. Don't get me wrong, you have to put in work emotionally but it works."


"Linzess is my friend.  I have breakfast in the morning and I take one every day before lunch.  No problems."

"I like this pill a lot. Before this I tried the shot and it was terrible. My face is clear, my boobs have grown and for some reason my tummy is flatter. I will continue to take it. "


"I have been on stelara for over 1 year now. Had psoriasis on the palms of my hands and feet very badly. It has worked very well and i only get ocassional little flares now as oposed to not being able to walk. Side effects have been acceptable, noticed I get sick more easily and am prone to migraines when first taking a shot. Overall I would recommend Stelara for someone who is suffering."


"Horrific.  First thing, 1st pill, was extremely dry mouth with a dry cough that last a couple of hours.  2 day same  but now accompanied with an internally anxiety accompanied by insomnia.  Within a week, felt like every adverse reaction mention in pamphlet and online was applicable plus some not mentioned (dry mouth, blurred vision, centralized stomach pain/gut, constipation and blurred double vision... OH! not to mention the vivid racing dreams anytime I could fall asleep.)  When I mentioned to Dr., his feeling was for me to continue meds.  Issues would work themselves out within a couple weeks more.  "Ok doc. I'll give it a couple of weeks more of this torture these pills have put me in."  Went home and tossed them in garbage."


"I would get dressed in the morning and by the time I was heading out the door to go to school or work I'd have to change my shirt because of the sweat that was dripping from my armpits. I just became accustomed to bringing a sweater everywhere and wearing loose fitting clothes. I started using this medication and the next day (which happened to be a 95 degree day) I was so surprised/happy to have no sweat running down my arms. The first night I used it I applied it to my armpits that had been shaved in the morning, it stung/itch but I stuck it out. I now apply it every other day and just shave my armpits every other day. It doesn't itch/sting at all. I recommend this to everyone."


"Was able to deal with my depression with cognitive therapy. Also helps my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder."


"Cured the ear infection but caused horrible diarrhea that continued for a while after stopping it, for 14 month old daughter. Very harsh on the digestive system. "


"If I could clean the guy's toilet who invented Suboxone with my toothbrush everyday I would. I took Suboxone for two years because that's how long I felt I needed it for. I have been clean for almost seven years, clean and sober. My only advice is to go to a 12 step program as well. Suboxone is not a crutch. It only takes away the physical cravings. The behavior needs to still be modified. Addiction is a cunning, baffling and powerful disease. Thanks to Suboxone and a 12 step program I bought a house, am in grad school and love my family and friends."


"This has been the worst BC I've been on, mood swings, cramps, terrible headaches, it is a total downer. I've really noticed that I've been less engaged in communication and tired. I've been on it for about 6 months, and it's 6 months too long."


"My neurologist prescribed me mefenamic acid to stop my migraines.  We had also tried Topamax (made me crazy). The only medicine that works is Relpax."


"My 8 year old daughter has been taking the medication for 4 months now and although we have seen a good improvement in her behavior, the weight gain has been substantial.  She has gained over 10 lbs in 4 months which is incredibly unhealthy. Her blood pressure has also been on the very low side.  Unfortunately for us we can't risk the bad side effects even though we have seen a positive behavior change."


"The first couple of sites I went to ten days ago when my Dr gave me 3 wk sample of Pristiq, I read all negative things and was apprehensive to take it.  Now, on day 10, I find this site, and I am really happy to read where so many of you have good things to say about Pristiq.   So far, I'm experiencing good things.  I'm more focused at work, I don't have the hunger pangs I had to eat all the time, and have lost six lbs in 10 days.  I also have a little more energy.  I'm looking forward to when it really kicks in.  But so far I do feel better and I am thankful for that. "


"I really really enjoy using this. I'm 17 and I am now on my period from the 2nd cycle. The only downside is sometimes it would feel like it itches but turns out its the area around it. Also, my cramps are horrid right now but i think this is a very effective contraceptive."


"I have been on metrinidazole, metrogel and varies creams for Bacterial vaginosis and nothing controlled my BV like acidophillis. The best brand that I have found is Pectin, each capsule has 2billion good bacterias in them. BV is no fun this has really helped me."


"Took it for 3 days. Numb skin, lips, hands and feet. I can't sense temperature.  Heart rate irregular. Seeing cardiologist tomorrow.  Severe pain in lower extremities, only when trying to sleep though! Oh and my legs feel like they weigh 200lbs each. Today is 11 days off of medicine and still no relief.  "


"I've had generalised anxiety for years as well as fairly mild depression. This as the 3rd SSRI medication I've been on and most definitely the WORST. I would give this a minus score if I could! I'm putting this review on here as a warning to others.

Within a week of being on this med my depression went from mild to severe. I was not in a good place. I came off this med as fast as I could and even that was very unpleasant.

I mentioned this to my GP and pharmacist and both seemed to not believe me..please be wary of this devil's concoction."


"I ran out of options for bc since I was so affected by estrogen. My gyno put me on this and I hated it at first. The first 6 months I had so much break through and long lasting periods and I thought my pms symptoms were prolonged longer than normal. My gyno had told me to try it for 4-6 months so I figured I would at least stick it out that long. With each month my periods got a little longer spaced out. On the 6th month I got my period and since then I haven't gotten it again. And I know I'm not pregnant. So I've been sticking with taking it every day, I have no symptoms, and no period. I love it! It's been 6 months now since my last period. I would highly recommend it to friends, but be patient at the beginning."


"I started having severe hormonal acne when I used dianne contraceptive pill. So after 3months, I stopped taking it. My acne became worst, like it was the only thing people focus on when I'm talking to them. I became hopeless and depressed. I searched online and found out about SPiro so I gave it a shot. Started on 50mg for 1 month then I'm on 100mg now. I'm on my 10th month on Spiro this week. I just noticed a few changes like my back acne clearing up, yet my facial acne (around 20pcs) is still there. They say it takes 3 months or more to see the results so I'm still crossing my fingers for this. Will update soon."


"POSITIVE PARAGARD EXPERIENCE!
-29 yrs old, no kids, periods always regular, retroverted uterus
Insertion-uncomfortable but lasted 10 min, breathe and take your motrin
Cramps after insertion, bloating, went away after a couple days
Next weeks had minor drop of blood spotting here and there
Had a significant spot of blood 5 days before period was due..it was enough to have to clean up but then stopped completely
Got my period 3 days early, had cramps that morning, took motrin, that was it for cramps
Period was HEAVY-1 light, 2 filling up diva cup quickly (overflowed one night I'd wear pads until confident),1 light, 1 spotting-Total 5 days

Husband can't feel it or hasn't mentioned it

All in all...best decision ever! Good luck ladies!"


"I found Nuvigal to bring my life back from depression. Before Nuvigal I couldn't keep my eyes open and live my normal life with 3 boys! Now, after Nuvigal I can actually play with my kids and be a normal mother. I don't know where I would be without it. It really turned my life around for the best!"


"Don't pay the price of qysemia. Ask your doc to prescribe phentermine and topiramate seperately and it is a lot cheaper. About $40 a month or so."


"I found that topiramate was reasonably effective in preventing my migraines, however it completely rid me of any and all appetite.  Within the first week I lost about 7 lbs, and within 3 weeks I had lost a total of 20 lbs.  I'm not a big guy (5'6", 160 lbs) so it was a very significant weight loss.  I became very weak and became ill from fatigue due to no appetite and weight loss.  It did lessen my migraines, however I still had them about once a week or so.  The weight loss, fatigue and overall effectiveness of the medication caused me to discontinue its usage."


"NEVER NEVER give this medicine to your children! If I could give this medicine a zero I would. My 4 year old son started taking the Qvar inhaler for his asthma. Over the next 3-4 months he started to have nosebleeds. I've tried everything from antibiotics, saline, humidifiers, nothing was helping. One day my son woke up with a nosebleed screaming he was blind, he turned blue, puked up a lot of blood and went limp in my arms. This qvar inhaler caused severe swelling in his sinuses, nosebleeds and low blood pressure. I thought my child had died in my arms I was terrified. I took him off the inhaler and he hasn't had a nosebleed in 3 months. Theres no reason that should have happened to a 4 year old. I would never want anybody to experience that"


"I was taking Xanax..0.25 mgs three times everyday for over 13 years. My Dr wanted me to wean off of it so to help thru the process she had me take 5mgs per day of Lexapro (escitolopram).  I kept taking the Lexapro for 1-1/2 years. During this time my Dr raised the dosage to 10 mgs daily. Lexapro wasn't the medicine for me. It caused more anxiety, mood swings and weight gain along with not feeling like myself. With the help of my Dr I weaned off Lexapro over a period of 3 weeks. After the 2nd day of not taking Lexapro I started with constant brain zaps, fatigue, dizziness with vertigo and felt overall awful. This continued for the next 7 weeks but the withdrawal symptoms lessened each week. I am now at the 8th week and feel wonderful!"


"Ive tried Vivescal  and while it helped stop my frequent getting up in the night to pee, it also caused constipation and made it hard to pee so my Urologist gave me Betmiga which she said didn't have constipation as a side effect. It has also worked and I'm now getting a great nights sleep only having to urinate once or twice during the night instead of seven or eight times minimum. However, it is also making it hard to pee and causing constipation. Because of these side effects, I will be discontinuing the Betmiga."


"I have struggled with severe acne since 12 years old, I am now 30. I tried EVERYTHING possible on the market, whether it be prescribed pills, or all kinds of prescribed lotions, but nothing worked. My acne was so bad that I contemplated suicide because of my shame. I thank God that Accutane is still available. I took it for about 5 months, and the acne vanished. It really brought me out of my shell, and house. I don't care about the negative remarks about it, I'm thankful it's around."


"I've been on a couple of birth control pills since I was 17. I'm 24 now and I just started Portia. I've noticed bad bloating and weight gain. I workout a lot and I've felt HUGE over a week now. I've also had mood swings and BAD acne."


"I had heavy dental work done and the doctor gave me Percocet.  I also suffer from depression.  The percocet did wonders for my depression.  It made me feel like myself again.  I plan on telling my shrink about this tomorrow morning.  I know I can't continue to take this medicine but there may be a clue about percocet and depression. I don't feel high, just normal."


"I was prescribed Cymbalta over a year ago, after a crippling anxiety attack and I will have to say, it's helped me quite a bit. I was skeptical on taking it, because I had no positive outcomes with Wellbutrin or Zoloft, but this drug helped me with amazing results. The only thing I've found (probably like with any other drug of this type) is that you NEED to take it on a scheduled basis. I have forgotten to take it or not been able to take it until 6 to 8 hours past my regular time and have to spend a few days readjusting to it. The only reason I gave Cymbalta a 9 instead of ten is for that reason and that weaning off this medicine may prove to be difficult."


"Works wonders for me.  My doctor started me on 10mg's 2x daily a month ago.  Now I am on 15mg's 2x daily.  Once in the morning and one in the evening.  I have taken anti-depressants for years now and have tried almost every one of them on the market.  Finally, I made myself see a psychiatrist. I was dealing with uncontrollable outbursts of anger. It made life difficult to the point I just wanted to stay at home alone. This was NOT me.  After a few days of taking this medicine I felt like I could deal with everyday life again.  Still taking things piece by piece but seemingly my moods are improving slightly because of this medicine. Give it a try."


"The estring worked very well for vaginal atrophy and dryness. Intercourse was no longer painful. However, I had it for three months and gained 7 lbs. during that time, (with no other changes to my diet or exercise regime), almost all of it showing up in my belly! I took it out for a few days while waiting to refill the prescription and immediately lost 2 lbs. As soon as I put the new one in, I re-gained the 2 lbs. in a matter of a few days. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep using it. I love the  convenience, as I had tried Estrace cream and found it messy and a hassle to remember to use it, and the estring definitely alleviated my symptoms, but I can't stand the weight gain."


"My nine year old son was put on this for impulsivity, lack of ability to pay attention and retain things at school, and to help the "spazzy" moments. At first he was a walking zombie so we gave it at night. Eventually he was able to switch to taking it in the morning as his body got used to it. But still he would crash as soon as he got home from school. He says the medicine makes it hard for him to sleep in anymore even though he's tired. He is less spazzy and can pay attention better. But I don't know what to do about the emotional roller coaster we get from him being so tired from it towards the late afternoon or evenings. He just seems too sedated. I want him to be able to focus. But not be blah. It seems like it took his happiness."


"I had protected sex 2 days ago but the condom broke as soon as my boyfriend pulled out. Some of it got on my leg and he freaked out so he bought me a plan b the next morning (better safe than sorry). I took it about 20 hours after I had sex. This morning i woke up with extremely horrible side effects. I have never felt this sick. I feel like I'm hungover/ on my period/have the flu. It hurts just to move and even just laying down still I feel pain. I have a runny nose and occasionally really bad cramps and lightheadedness. I hope I never have to take this again and I hope these symptoms go away soon because. My mom is freaking out that I just randomly got this "sick" when I was fine last night. (She doesn't know I have sex)"


"I have had bad acne since the age of 16, I am a healthy and fit female, and have tried multiple acne washes and creams, benzoyl peroxides, diet and lifestyle changes, and even the last extreme for acne: Accutane (or Isotretinoin).

All have failed, and especially the Isotretinoin, it made my acne a lot worse and I could not handle how my lips were splitting and bleeding, and I broke out with blisters all over my back-very strange.

I had tried doxycyclin a few years ago, but must not have taken it properly, but now, at the age of 20, I started taking it, and my skin (for the first time in many years) is clear and healthy and the acne scars are clearing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO TAKE RELIGIOUSLY"


"Belsomra is REMARKABLE! My entire quality of life has improved immensely!!!!!!! I take 20mg a night, fall asleep fairly quickly (I have a fitbit that tracks sleep), feel well-rested the next morning, and have a better overall sleep quality than before I was on Belsomra! The first 2 nights I took it, I had nightmares, but I've been on it for 2 months now with no more nightmares! I have been on Seroquel, Ambien, Ambien CR, Amytriptaline, Doxepin, Xanax, and I have tried Melatonin and Benadryl! Nothing works like Belsomra does!!!! I'm so grateful for it! It is quite expensive though, when I got on it my family deductible had already been met, so the cost for me is $0, but I do know it is sooo expensive otherwise!"


"I've been on Sronyx for about 4 weeks now. The 2nd week into it I was extremely moody and emotional. I've always been physically active, but lately its made me lethargic. It definitely increased my appetite and now that I'm on my fourth week, I'm extremely bloated."


"Well, I've also been on zanies, clanazepapam.  I found that lorazepam is for longer term maintenance of  anxiety - Not panic attacks. I just got off of 2mg. 3x a day. Just cause it wasn't helpful. But it does work."


"I suffer from arthritic pain all over, fingers growing crooked, etc. Stiffness, pain, and severely limited movement are characteristic. I use  (I think Watson)  hydrocodone of 7.5/325 acetaminophen.  It's a godsend. Allows me to work doing much of the work I did as a young man, although certainly not as fast, and of course, being 69, not as strong either.  I usually take one in the morning, if needed one in the afternoon, then  again a little before bedtime. I have never had to take more than 4 in one day, that only a few times.  Have been using for about two years now,  and it  knocks the hell out of inflammation from this disease. I don't perceive any addiction and I have no notable negative effects. Occasionally use Tylenol  PM instead."


"I started using Euflexxa several years ago while training for a half marathon.  Having a previous meniscus tear, I wanted to err on the safe side for the training, especially being in my 60's and overweight.  About a year ago, I experienced another meniscus tear and recovery was difficult at best.  It was to the point I was begging the Dr. for a new replacement.  A second opinion confirmed I was definitely a candidate.  I toughed it out.  Therapy, exercise, losing 40 pounds, continuous stretching, massages have paid off.  Even though I limp a little and stiff in the morning, replacement is off the radar.  I'm now going back for more injections before the end of the year.  They are a little pricey but definitely cheaper than a knee replacement."


"I am a chronic pain patient and have tried Vicodin 5/500, Norco 7.5/325, Norco 10/325, Percocet, Percodan, Darvocet, andfFinally I have found relief with 120 mg of MS CONTIN a day and Percodan for breakthrough pain (up to 4 tablets a day as needed). I am now able to work a full time job, get up before noon and resume a normal life. I am so thankful my doctor decided to try the Ms Contin. The only issue is constipation, but it is controlled with Miralax."


"My Dr. gave me 2 sample packets. Even my Pharmacist had not heard of Staxyn yet. After a couple of uses I found that the onset is rather quick, Duration appeared to be betwen 5-7 hours. Overall effectiveness compared to Levitra 20mg was a bit less effective. Overall satisfaction was about 70%."


"Effexor xr 150, once daily for 10 years. Never been better"


"I have found that at least one out of each box of 5  has little or no medication on it. This has put me back in horrible pain and dangerous withdrawal symptoms..I was given the 25 mcg/ change every 72 hrs to take the place of my deactivated morphine pump that malfunctioned (overdosed & under dosed)..Diagnosis: severe scoliosis,degenerative disk,etc."


"Unfortunately, this Birth Control pill gave me the worst headaches! I think I had at least 2 per week. Some were migraines. I was also more emotional but the headaches were the reason I stopped using this. No weight gain or acne."


"I have lived with severe insomnia for 34 years due to a circadian rhythm disorder. When I say that I have tried all sleep medications, you can believe me.  My doctor gave my a voucher for a free trial of Belsomra. I was skeptical, then saw a review someone had written who had a very similar sleep disorder. He said to reach more areas in the brain that control the sleep-awake switches,  to try it with 1 milligram of melatonin,  50 milligrams of diphenhydramine, and a 1/4 milligram of a benzo. I haven't slept like I did last night since I was a child. I gave it  7/10 because I don't know yet if it was a fluke, but I am hopeful that it will continue to work."


"I have only been on doryx for about a week, but my acne has almost completely cleared up. And I have had no new acne since starting. Definitely the best acne treatment I've tried."


"Tramadol does work wonders.  Some people don't like it because it is not your typical pain medication.   I have been taking two 50 mg every 12 hours for the past year or so and without a doubt it does work on a continued basis.  It seems to not work well for acute pain and only dosing this way,  but for chronic pain it does work."


"I had Taxol with Avastin for 6 cycles. Each cycle was once a week for 3 weeks, followed by 1 week off. A PET scan after the first 3 cycles showed significant success, but the PET scan at the end of the 6th cycle showed new growth, so we had to change medicines. I have stage IV metastatic breast cancer that is in the lymph nodes of the chest wall. It is triple negative, so harder to control."


"I had unprotected sex one night realizing the next day that a condom was not in the picture. After light freaking out I went to buy the Plan B pill. I've taken it once before almost 3 years ago before it was on the shelf. When I took it this time I had some very noticeable side effects. Cramping, stomach pain, tiredness, dizziness, nausea, lack of appetite but I would go through all of it again if it meant no kids. This pill works and I would recommend it to anyone"


"I just started taking the pill almost two months now and aside from certain downsides I like it. My periods are so little its basically only spotting and I no longer have any cramps, which I am thankful for because prior I could barely move in peace with them. Only things that are deeply disturbing is the weight gain that I gained in such a small period of time also my breasts have become increasingly sore at all times of the day. I have mood swings every now and again and in the beginning I would get depressed very quickly but that didn't last long. Hope it works for you"


"I have had a persistent cough now for two weeks that wakes me up 8 times at night. This is the second time that I have had this cough medicine prescribed to me. It is by far the best Cough medicine that I have ever taken."


"Sore Throat Guy: About a week ago I had a sore throat. I begantaking two pills a day of Augmentin which had always worked well for me but not this time and I had taken about 7 days of it. Yesterday I returned to my family doctor because I began having a very bad ear ache. He decided to give me a shot of Rocephin. The nurse came in with the shot and she told me that it was going to hurt. I told her I wanted it in my left hip. She again told me it was going to hurt I told her. She said here we go and I saw when she inserted the needle and I told her I didn't even feel it she sorta laughed. Then she began injecting it and I've had shots before however she was right. IT HURT! Today my pain is 99.9% gone. So it worked great for me."


"I have been on contrave a little over a month and I have lost 10 pounds so far. I have not had any side effects except constipation and had to get medicine to have a normal bowel movement. I also have been working out three days a week and cutting back on carbs but eating it in moderation some things I like. Cravings are limited so not eating a lot of junk food and get full faster and eating slower.  Will send more feedback."


"I take Oxycontin 60mg 3x a day, and Roxycodone 15mg 4x a day for chronic back/neck pain. Sometimes I do too much walking, or get severe neck pain that the pain meds don't control. I add one 25mg Vistaril and it enhances my pain meds effectiveness. About 3 to 4 hours later I become EXTREMELY drowsy, and often fall asleep, not good in the middle of afternoon! I think the occasional Ativan is almost as helpful, w/o all the sedation. Good drug, only if I can afford to be asleep."


"I have been taking Glidess for a few years to control heavy periods and have been very happy with it. No more periods, no headaches or cramping. My pharmacy switched to Blisovi when Glidess was recalled. I am seeing terrible reviews/ side effects that people are having. I used another generic in place of Glidess in the past when my pharmacy ran out of it and I had terrible acne and felt sick while taking it so I'm afraid to take another generic version. I hope the issues with Glidess are resolved and it comes back on the market. Not sure what is the closest match to it as it seems Blisovi is not it."


"Had a mild UTI and was prescribed this drug. I had no problem with the first dose and was feeling better by the second dose. I took both with food. Shortly after the second, I was feeling dizzy and unwell. Within a few hours, I was severely nauseous and vomited. I looked up side effects and read these reviews. Although the drug did work quickly, I chose to call my Urgent Care doctor and she prescribed a different drug. Hope that one gets rid of the problem with fewer side effects."


"I was diagnosed with bipolar type II almost 2 months ago at age 40. It was long over due.  My psychiatrist started me on Depakote 250 mg twice a day and Wellbutrin SR 150 mg in the morning. Also take trazodone or Ambien to sleep.

I can tell that my moods are much more stable on Depakote, no more hypomania and staying up a week at a time. It's a relief to get back to much more normal, but I do miss the hypomania in many ways (I work full time, have a family and go to graduate school for a double masters degree-- hypomania was great with those things at once).  I am still on Depakote 250 mg twice a day. Depakote will change my life as long as my body tolerates it. I'm trying to deal with the ravenous appetite. Up 10 lbs already."


"Took two pills yesterday still feel nauseous and light headed haven't taken any today gonna go back and get something else worked on my cellulitis it's almost gone but my body can't handle it"


"Just used this product for first time in preparation for hemorrhoid removal surgery in the morning. It kicked in within 3-4 minutes. Seems to have cleared things for now. I get to do it again in the morning, oh joy. "


"I have been taking Clonazepam for nearly 30 years. Started at 15 years of age and went from approximately 300 mild absent spells (i call them mind blanks) to 5. Huge impact on my life. I am on the original dose of 1mg but on my tired days i take an extra 1mg in the afternoon or evening. In the last 6 years or so I've suffered terrible insomnia which has me some nights not sleeping at all. So not sure if thats related..especially given this drug is used for insomnia and anxiety. I may have side effects but have been taking it so long i dont really notice. Also took this through 3 pregnancies and have 3 healthy children. Wish i could come off but too busy with work and kids."


"I am in my late 20's and was recommended for an early first colonoscopy. I was prescribed Suprep for my pre-procedure prep. I've heard horror stories about colonoscopy prep so I went searching, and needless to say I wasn't so happy with what I found. Luckily, everything I read didn't seem to apply to me. Suprep was super easy. I just mixed it with some cold berry propel water and drank it down. It honestly didn't even really taste that bad. Kind of like...I don't know, Smirnoff Ice? After drinking that you just have to drink water. I had little to no bloating or abdominal pain on either dose. I just had my colonoscopy at 830 this morning and I'm already home and working. All is well :). Prep was easy, colonoscopy was easy. Happy customer!"


"I frequently have profound pain and spasms in the recto-sigmoid rectum, as well as the bladder and urethra, all due to the inflammation throughout my entire digestive system. Worst in the esophagus and the sites noted above.

My doctor prescribed this medicine since systemic narcotics caused too many side effects and too little relief of pain in the regions noted. The only side-effects were, finally, an ability to sleep, the cessation of nearly-unbearable pain, and ability to urinate.

My problem, now, is the drug having been removed from the formulary for Medicare Part D drugs, and the apparent lack of availability of the medication, even if I could pay for it myself."


"Too soon for me to tell if this is working, but for you concerned about cost it is now generic and costs me $10 a month."


"I have been taking Portia for 7 months now. Everything was fine the first 6 months and than all of a sudden I got really bad acne. I have also noticed I have crazy mood swings and so has my boyfriend. I am going to switch ."


"I had been smoking for 13yrs and really wanted to quit. My doctor suggested Chantix and after seeing my mother successfully quit using it I gave it a try. I took it for 7 days and I haven't smoked since and that was 4 months ago. I actually stopped after 4 days but continued to take it just in case. The only side effects I endured was extreme hunger that I only experienced while taking the pills and very vivid dreams that I must say I enjoyed. My family and friends and have all been successful. I honestly can't say anything bad about Chantix. The only problem I can say I had was missing the ritual of smoking like on the toilet and while drinking."


"I had Implanon inserted in April of 2011 after previously taking Levora birth control. The Levora made me irritable, overly emotional, snippy and even made me crave junk food. I felt like I was PMSing non-stop. After some thorough research, I quit the Levora and decided to have the Implanon inserted. The most painful part was the Lidocaine shot while the actual insertion was pain free. I had some bruising and tenderness for about a week after but that was about it. I started my period the day after insertion, but it only lasted for three days. I've had no moodiness, cravings or weight gain since having the Implanon inserted. For me, this is the best birth control possible."


"Stage IV arthritis in the left knee, and spinal stenosis. It allows me to ignore the pain and keep working. Of course I treat the knee and back gently. I worry though about the acetaminophen. It never helped by itself, it does not seem to do anything in conjunction with the hydrocodone, and it may be damaging my liver or other organs. For this reason I cannot give the drug a "9" or "10".  There is apparently no hydrocodone available without an additive."


"I was VERY wary about being switched to this birth control. I had been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for 3 years without any problems, but then I started having breakthrough bleeding, and increased skin breakouts including lots of cystic acne. Doctor put me on Levora, & after reading a lot of reviews of side effects, I was super worried I'd end up with worse acne.

It's been 4 months and I LOVE THIS PILL. My skin has never looked better. I didn't experience any emotional issues with the switch. My period is regular again, and lighter than it even was on the other pill. I barely get any cramps. I love it. If you're reading all these negative reviews, remember people are more likely to post negative experiences than positive ones."


"I swear there is something wrong with the 7 day treatment. It feels horrible! Burning from the outside all the way to the inside... how in the world is this acceptable?  Other reviews like mine are from very close dates to today. Makes me think they messed up in the making of this batch. Never again will I use this brand!"


"Just started my 2nd month. The 1st week and a half I had light bleeding everyday. Then the next week, my nipples were so sore. Now, this past week I've had on and off light bleeding and cramps during the last week of pills. I have no side effects emotionally, which is great, because everything else makes me go crazy. But, I have noticed a little weight gain and craving food all the time, and I jog 3 to 4 times a week. I am 24, no pregnancies ever. I'm not sure about this pill yet. I'll give it another month and see how it goes. I don't even want to be on birth control, but my cramping and periods are so terrible without it."

"This medication worked great as far as my mental state. It actually worked, which is something that no other medicine had done for me. On the downside, I began to swell or retain fluids extremely bad. I was several months into taking the medicine before the swelling was noticeable, therefore I didn't suspect that it was this medication. I got to the point where I couldn't twist the lid off a bottle or hardly bear the weight of standing on my feet. The swelling was intermittent with the worst cases being in the morning after waking up. Some days it was extremely bad and others it was mild.  After 4 doctors assessed me and found nothing, I checked for side effects of Remeron. Swelling of hands and feet is listed."


"My wife was diagnosed with Stage IV non-small lung cancer that had spread to her liver and bones.  After being on Tarceva for two months, lung x-rays indicated that the tumors in her lungs had neither grown nor shrunk.  This month she is having a CT to determine the fate of other tumors.  She has had only a mild skin reaction to the drug."


"This has been a lifesaver for me! It's the first thing that has worked for me and I've been taking 25 mg per day for about 3 weeks without ANY ill side effects."


"I was told by my doctor that I might gain weight. He said that the signal in the brain that says, "Thank you, I've had enough!" which is what I always go by, and it keeps my weight steady, is DELAYED.  It's TRUE. he says portion control is the key. We shall see. I'm trying but I've already gained about three pounds and notice that I eat way more. I'll let you know if I get a handle on it. The drug is THE one added to my cocktail that made the difference."


"I had a terrible experience with lamotrigine. it made me irritable beyond belief, as well it substantially lowered my mood and gave me suicidal thoughts. It's hard to say if it was the lamotrigine to blame for my suicidal ideation, as I have struggled with depression for years, but this time the thoughts blindsided me and we're extremely strong and powerful. This conveniently happened as my dose increased."


"Works pretty well for stabilizing moods, mostly manic. I take 300mg morning and 600mg at night. Have been taking for about three years. Dr will not let me take more than the 900mgs. Headaches for a week when starting and during increasing dose. It does mess with my memory. I can forget asking someone a question three times and sometimes have some trouble remembering words I'm trying to express."


"I was prescribed strattera 50mg once a day to go along with the 20mg of Ritalin I take 2x a day because the Ritalin doesn't cover me for later at night, because I go out almost every night with friends. The doctor said after a week or 2 it should start to work. I took it for 2 weeks and continued to get cold sweats, shivers, and just felt like crap so I stopped taking it. It didn't help one bit. It made me feel like I was on a anti depressant or something.  All around terrible experience and I will never take it again. I'm at my doctors today to rectify the situation"


"This medication doesn't do anything. It only made my skin worse. I've been on it for three months and my skin looks awful. I don't let anyone see me with out makeup because I'm just too embarrassed. I haven't had any side effects but my skin looks Terrible. I'm also using a prescription cream and face wash and nothing's happening. I was told it could look worse at first but then get better but it's just getting worse and worse. Find something else to use."


"Have dry and painful mouth of unknown cause.  I have tried Biotene mouth wash, the rubbery losenges and several other treatments, but finally found Mouth Kote.  Clearly the best for me.  Lime (but not sweet) tasting.  Causes you to make saliva when spraying in.  I seem to be able to use it as often as I like.  Really helps."


"I just started this medication on January 19th. Here it is, January 22nd, and I'm already down five pounds! I'm only on 15mg, but five pounds in three days is fantastic. It has completely suppressed my appetite. I used to only want to drink cokes and snack all day, but now I'm more into water than soda. So far, the only side effect that I have experienced is dry mouth."


"I started on 2 at bedtime for night sweats and restlessness and for the first 3 months that worked great.  I started to toss and sweat again.  Upped the dose to 3 pills and have been back in peaceful sleep for the last 2 months.  Now that I am working out again, I may try to go back down to 2.  Finally getting my sleep back!!"


"I liked it - it helped me sleep"


"I have arthritis in my back, and without this medication I could not make it."


"Went to Doctor's with very bad sore throat and cough. Was given Biaxin and it took two days for my throat to clear up but my throat was very bad. It seems to be working. I was given a cough medicine too, could not tell which one was making me tired."


"Have been on Votrient now for over three years and am in remission.  Side effects have included hand and foot pain (very slight now) and have experienced weight loss (from 180 lbs to around 130 lbs) over the last three years.  As of this year, there have been no signs of liver problems but have had minor digestion issues.  It appears that Votrient has been successful -unlike my experience with Sutent, Avastin, Xeloda and Affinitor.  I had been diagnosed with stage IV renal cell carcinoma-sarcomatoid in 2008, and had the left kidney removed (and spleen due to a fall in the hospital).  I have been on Votrient now for the better of three years, am still employed and fully functional.  "


"I started this medicine not too long ago and love it. I have been on many other medicines over the years without good results. The one thing I would like to say to others who have written comments here is, do not say you would not recommend this to someone because it doesn't work for you. That is the reason there are different medications, and just because it doesn't work for you, it is ridiculous for you to say you wouldn't recommend others take it."


"I recently lost 45lbs through diet and exercise in a 4 mo. period.  I cut out all the sweets (which was extremely hard) and started drinking only water, unsweetened tea and sparkling water.  I would have a mini-cheat day on Sundays and allow myself a burger or a slice of cheesecake.  However, the weight has slowly started to creep back on - with my travel schedule, I have been going to the gym less (was 5x a week) and eating later at night.  My doctor prescribed Contrave and I have been taking it for 5 days.  I read the reviews and how it cause a lot of people to be nauseous. So I take it in the morning around 6:30 am with a low-fat Greek yogurt and 4 saltine crackers.  It works for me and I only feel a little dizzy at times - not major for me!"


"I just had my Skyla inserted this morning, so I can't attest to the long-term effects yet, but I wanted to share the experience getting it. I freaked myself out reading horror stories, so I thought I should come back and provide some insights for others. Let me start by saying the whole thing took about 3 minutes - the painful parts were less than 1 minute combined. First, it's just like getting a pap. Then they have to measure how far in to put it - take a deep breath ladies, this is not fun, but over quickly. Then they put the Skyla in - also not fun, also over quickly. You'll have some major cramps for a few minutes, so I'd suggest you stay lying down until you feel pretty normal again. All done! Now, Advil and a heating pad for ~3hrs."


"Lortab, best pain medicine ever, if I have to take anything for pain it would be this."


"Before starting this medication, I had horrible menstrual cycles & bad symptoms such as neck pain, back pain, heavy bleeding, cramps, mood swings & hot flashes. I would also sleep about 15 hours per day. When I started this pill, it took away most of those unbearable symptoms, HOWEVER, now I've been on my period for 11 days straight."


"I had to have an emergency c-section with my son 1985. They gave me this and it took me 17 hrs to awake and they lost my heartbeat twice during the procedure. Have not had it since."


"I have MS and the associated chronic pain. My trapeze and entire neck and back are constantly in spasm mode. I do not sleep more of a float above sleep. My nephrologist thought this would help my torso muscle spasms, several types of headaches and facial muscle spasms plus help me sleep. No on all of the above. No sleep. No relief. A new Headache was created by this and it is causing constipation, dizziness, facial flushing, nausea, depression and tummy pain. I took one 4 mg tablet and will not give it another chance. I am miserable enough I do not need to add to my issues with this drug."


"Living I Phoenix, I rarely wear blouses with sleeves - most days it is a tank top with a jacket thrown over for the office.  So, sweating in the pits is not an option unless I get my jackets dry cleaned after every use.  I have been using Certain Dri roll-on, after trying various other 'clinical strength' antiperspirants for a few years now.  While it has always itched when I apply the roll-on version at bed time, the solid version does not but I noticed some dampness in my pits with the solid.  So, i am sticking to roll-on - worth the mild itching for completely dry pits."


"Adapalene worsens acne first two weeks but you have to be patient because wanted results may need up to 3 months to appear , I am a drug information specialist at a dermatology hospital and I realized that our patients get less flakes and dryness when washing out adapale after 15 minutes to half an hour , sometimes after 2 hrs that what most consultants in our hospital advice patients with."


"My severe menopausal symptoms stopped in 24 hours after application of this patch."


"It worked the first time I had a UTI.
No change in symptoms the second time I was prescribed this medication since it is a weaker antibiotic for UTIs.
Didn't really have any negative side effects besides not wanting to eat, but I think that was just the demon from hell UTI."


"Cost in Canada was 80 but latest cost me 60 bucks for 6ml.  I used it for 1.5 years on big toe.... I stopped using for six months but not quite cleared so going back on it."


"I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about six years before switching to the IUD, which was awful. I got my IUD taken out, and was put on Trinessa. I love it! I loved Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo a lot, and since getting married, money has become more of a priority. It's free with my insurance!  Loving it!

Physically, my skin has never been more clear, I have less cramps/breast tenderness, and a shorter, lighter period. It's awesome!"


"My blood pressure was controlled at 120/80, but... after 18 months on Benicar,  I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (not good).  So to remedy the UC, I had to take a drug that cost $8000 per year because doctors did not know at the time that Benicar causes UC in some people.
I think people should be aware of this very BAD side effect before starting Benicar."


"Had the Prevnar 13 yesterday. Couldn't sleep last night and my arm was painful. I can't lift my arm now and it's very sore. I put ice packs on it and took aspirin but, so far, it hasn't helped! Hope this is all worth it."


"I have used Levothroid and Synthroid.  I am currently on Levothroid.  It does okay, I have been able to maintain a normal life although I have bad joint pain now after 18 years of use.  I have more memory problems now than I did before especially names.  And I have lost bone height.  I am over an inch shorter now than I was before.  I am only 52 and had my thyroid removed due to cancer 18 years ago."


"I've had the nexplanon for 5 months now. I haven't stopped bleeding/spotting for the last 3 months. I've never had back acne and now it's terrible!! I can't even bare to put a tank top on it's so embarrassing.  You can pinch me and feel oil coming off my skin. It's horrible. My anxiety is off the charts. This was the worst thing I possibly could have gotten on. I should have stayed on the pill."


"I started Alli 3 weeks ago and have lost 7 pounds.  I highly recommend this to anyone that has a hard time controlling what they eat.  This pill holds you accountable."


"Hydrocodone ruled my life for the past 6 years. I started Suboxone treatment with 8mg dose 30 days ago. The medicine works great for avoiding the major Norco withdrawal that I was so terrified of. Half a day ago I quit cold turkey off of 2mg Suboxone. The withdrawal was still pretty bad but not nearly as bad as the Norco. Good luck out there everybody. It is possible to live opiate free."


"It makes the pain bearable. Little side effects and easy to use since it is changed only once weekly. It makes my fibromyalgia manageable."


"15 minutes after taking I would get severe leg cramps for hours. It made my good cholesterol bad it did not work for me."


"Well I'll start by saying I was most certainly NOT paid by the company for a positive review as was suggested by another reviewer whom the medicine obviously didn't work for. I bought this at RiteAid. Chose it over Flonase because it was on sale.  I was desperate to find anything, that would help my allergies. I live in So Cal and the super bloom we're having from all the rain triggered super allergies in me. I'd been eating benadryl like candy with no relief and had rubbed the top layer of skin off my eyelids. I literally thought I was going to have to sell my house and move because it was so bad. I was having hot flashes and cold sweats. My lungs were itchy. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle. The relief was immediate. Very happy with it"


"One of the best pain relievers you can find. For me it gets rid of the pain and makes you feel relaxed. Good Stuff!"


"I took this medication a week ago and am still suffering the side effects. I blistered and my vagina got so swollen I can hardly urinate. I am wondering when this is going to end as it has been 7 days."


"Had insertion one week ago. I have never had a kid and my doctor did not warn me how painful it was going to be. She said some pressure and cramping was normal, but when she did it and noticed how buckled over in pain I was she called the pain "mini labor" because it dilates the cervix momentarily and said the cramping should pass in 30 minutes. It did not. I wish I had known it was going to debilitate me so much that I wouldn't be able to work 3 hours later. Make sure your parent, friend, or significant other are there with you to take you home if you have it inserted and have never had kids. I immediately bought a heating pad to help with the cramping pain I have had since insertion. I use icy hot patches at work to distract the pain."


"I was in a hell of a state, with thoughts of suicide constantly. I had never experienced feelings like this before. With help from a crisis center and my G.P, I was put on mirtazapine, increasing the dose gradually to 45mg. It has helped me immensely. I am back to my old self. I have put on a couple of stones and I do feel lethargic sometimes, but all in all a small price to pay to get your life back."


"Injection is the best."


"I suffered with extreme leg pain for two years only when I was lying down. I was on Panadol (No good) then Tramadol (No good) I had so many sleepless nights or nights where I had to sleep sitting up. I was fine walking around but the moment I laid down the pain started. My doctor put me on Amitriptyline 10mg and after a week of being on it I have had no pain at all and sleep all night. I have been on it for just over a year. Happy person."


"Having severe bone loss, my MD put me on vitamin D2 at 50,000 units a week. My wife did the research, and found out vitamin D2 is not as well absorbed as vitamin D3. It also must be taken with a calcium supplement. I had been taking the D2 for several years, and then they wanted me to take Prolia as my bone loss was getting worse. Stopping the D2, and starting the D3 at 5,000 iu a day with 600 mg of calcium has helped quite a bit.  I would suggest anyone try this before taking something like Prolia, or Forteo for bone loss. If you have osteoporosis, you need the supplements either way. Wife took Forteo everyday for 26 months, and less than 4 years later they now want her to try Prolia too.Check wikipedia for info on this."


"Amazing drug!  My husband has an addictive personality and has spent the better part of 40 years abusing drugs. We heard about this treatment and both of us were skeptical that a simple pill could end the days of chasing street drugs and spending several hundred dollars each month for them.  It has been just that - he has been on this now for 4 months and what a difference it has made in both of our lives.  He has mental clarity, more energy - it's been a win-win for us."


"Bought azo and it didn't work for me AT ALL. If anything it made it worse! It still burns when I pee and it's really painful and uncomfortable. The only difference this med made was changing the color of my urine to a dark orange looking color."


"24 hours after taking chlortrimeton 90% of my hives have disappeared. This is the first OTC drug I have taken that has had an effect. I experienced some drowsiness but functioned quite well."


"Took this about 10 minutes ago.  At 1:25ishpm on Feb 26 2017.  Will let you know how it works later."


"I started using Voltaren Gel a week ago for osteoarthritis in both knees.  I used it 4x a day as prescribed and experienced absolutely no relief whatsoever.  I did my research and found that relief is not something that builds up over time with this medication, so I am going to try something else."


"not worth it"


"After one year of average 25mg a day, at 72years old, I have decent energy, great erections, and weight has stayed at 155lbs. Still a good plan to keep Viagra, Levitra, etc. on hand. I find that it causes pain in arm muscles, so must stay on one pump, on abdomen. Don't overuse, age is age."


"I've been on this pill for exactly 1 month now and I wanted to share my experience.
So far, the only thing that stands out is depression/moodiness. Everyone has a different body chemistry and I'm assuming that since I am already a relatively moody and anxious person (though NOT a depressed person), Ocella heightens the moodiness. It got especially bad right before my period, I was doing a lot of crying for no reason. I feel better now, after my period, and hoping it continues. No other problems to report but I'll check back in a few months with anything noteworthy."


"I have chronic pain that wraps around the right side of my rib cage and believe it to be nerve/muscular.  I was taking Tramadol for many years along with my Lyrica, but the Tramadol just wasn't working anymore.  My paid doc replaced the Tramadol with 50 MG Nucynta twice per day.  The results are phenomenal - I am basically pain free and able to function fine at work on it with no side effects of any kind.  This medicine has improved my quality of life and I can't believe how much better I feel."


"I had commented before and I also wanted to say that I haven't experienced any mood swings and I STILL WANT TO HAVE SEX! The pill made me hate sex but my drive hasn't suffered a bit with the Nuvaring. I love it and HIGHLY recommend it."


"I wish I could give this a negative score. I was using ortho tried cyclen lo before this was available as a generic and my insurance company made me switch. The pharmacist ensured me the only difference was in ONE inactive ingredient but I beg to differ- my skin is so broken out I feel like a teenager again. I have constant headaches and a migraine so bad, I went to the ER. My period is wonky, I hate it. I have an appointment at the doctor in 2 weeks, I'm going to beg for an IUD. This is the worst pill I've ever used."


"I've had insomnia for years until I found lunesta.  this drug is.truly lifesaving.  In the 6+ years I've taken it, I probably only had a handful of sleepless nights. unfortunately, just this year, my insurance will no longer pay  for it.  I could get it approved and pay 90.00 a month  but I refuse to do so. I believe insurance should pay  for everything your doctor rxs for their patients.   I  was forced to try ambien.  OMG!!!  talk about a hangover with NONE of the fun."


"Been on many other migraine meds, this by far is the most effective, fastest working and no side effects."


"I take one pill by 8am before I eat any food.  I eat 400 calories a day. I exercise on the treadmill for 30 minutes at 2.8 mph everyday.  I have energy, I don't feel that hungry, and I only have the dry mouth and sometimes the jitters.  I started on Dec 5th, 2008 at 197 lbs.  I am now 150 lbs.  This is my last month and I am going to get to 137lbs.  You do this process until you meet your weight goal, then you add 100 calories a day until you reach 1500 calories.  This is so you don't yo-yo.  Then you maintain the 1500 calories/day for 3 months while still exercising."


"In between health insurances and I wanted a quick fix... big mistake using Monistat one. Made symptoms worse. Writting this review to save all you ladies the agony that I went through. This medication caused my pelvic lymph nodes to swell up to the point it hurts to walk. DO NOT USE MONISTAT 1! Called my gyno and she even said they do not recommend the one day dose bc it's too potent and can cause major side effects. If you have already Inserted it and start to feel burning ... hang in there and try to rinse out as much as you can out. Call your Dr to call you in a diflucan!"


"This medicine truly saved my life, my job, my relationship with friends and more. I have suffered with GAD, prementrual despotic disorder, worrying constantly, on and off for over 20 years. When I felt great life was wonderful I could do 100 things at once but when depression hit I was totally disabled couldn't work, shut myself off from the world and just wanted to sink away. I started Lexapro and within 2 weeks I could get out of bed. After 30 days I had absolutely no side affects and felt amazing!"


"Had kidney stone and given a Zofran prescription to take home for nausea - it only made it worse.  Every time I took it I found myself more nauseous after only 1/2 hour.  I chose to stop and had my doctor switch me to a different drug.  I think some people's systems are more sensitive to it than others, especially if they are taking pain medications with the Zoran."


"I started taking a half of a pill today, I ate very little. The energy is great, the only thing I am noticing is that I am not able to sleep and I am tired, also a bit of dry mouth. My goal is to loose 45lbs so I can have a surgery that I desperately need. If I can take more weight off that would be fabulous."


"I love my Implanon! I got it put in when I was on my period and as soon as that period was over I have not experienced another one. The only downfall is that I have no sex drive at all. But, overall, this birth control proves very effective."


"Wow get maybe 2 or 3 cold sores a year  and in my line of work i cant afford to look bad.

So i had a very bad coldsore on my upper lip worst ive had my lip swole 2x normal size. Ive never been to a dr for a coldsore before but i was desperate. Was prescribed valtrex and within 2 days this mother of a coldsore is literally dissapearing. Amazing this is the first time i have posted anything online but i felt i had to say how good this drug is!  I wont look back no more over the counter crap for me."


"DON'T DO IT! I am 24, have a high pain tolerance, never have had any issue with my birth control, have never been pregnant, am healthy and active! The Skyla insertion was the worst pain I've ever had. I started balling crying. Once it was complete, I nearly passed out walking to my car. I was in severe pain all day and had to leave work. I figured all the pain would subside. I went home, used a heating pad, ate, took some pain killers but nothing helped. I had consistent spotting and cramping. I would usually work out every day... but I was in too much pain to do so. I waited about 10 days to have sex, only to bleed profusely and be in immense pain. I tried to wait it out, kept it in for about a month and eventually had to get it remove"


"I was taking 2 of the 20 mg Adderall a day and they wore off quick. Doctor had tried my son on this new medicine and worked for him. So I asked our doctor to switch me also, only draw back was that no one in our town carries it. I could either drive an hour to a Walgreens that carried or wait a week for the Walgreens in our town to get it in. Said they won't just order this medicine to keep on hand  until we have filled 4 prescriptions which I thought made no sense. Luckily our local CVS has it on hand and the $25 coupon our doctor gave us has been wonderful. With our insurance it would cost $89 but was able to get the first prescription FREE!!  And then each one after for $25.."


"My doctor prescribed this to me because I have trouble sleeping. I don't know what I would do without it. I am 28 years old and I have had insomnia most of my life. The first time I took it, it helped me so much. I so would recommend this pill to anyone who has had my problem."


"I am 25, and have an 8 year old son. I've had my Mirena for 5 years this month, and have an appointment to have it removed and replaced in 2 weeks. I've been very happy with it so far. I decided to get the Mirena when my doctor informed me that I had osteoarthritis due to the Depo shot I had been taking for 3 years. When I had it placed it was painful at first, but it only lasted for about 12 hours. My periods came back but are very light to nonexistent. I'm extremely thankful that the Mirena doesn't have the side effects that are associated with other forms of birth control. I have absolutely no complaints with it. I love it, and cannot wait to have the new one inserted. I would recommend to everyone!"


"If I could give this medication a 0 I would. After lots of research and talking with my doctor, I looked forward to trying this medication as I have struggled to lose weight after having my second child.

I took the first dose at 8:30 am. By 9 am I felt extremely nauseous and dizzy. I called my doctor and she recommended that I take some anti nausea meds I had. They did nothing to quell the sea of vomit that ultimately came pouring out of me. I vomited all morning, into the afternoon. Now, I've been very ill with food poisoning, stomach flu, etc, but this was a new type of evil as the nausea didn't subside even the tiniest bit, as it does w food poisoning etc, after vomiting. There was no relief.

I strongly recommend not taking this."


"I've had bv off and on for almost 2 years now. I would use cleocin gel when it would come back but I think my body just got immune to it so about two weeks ago I tried metro gel. It went away but did give me a yeast infection. I used monistat one day and boom the bv came back. So I'm trying the metro gel again but just for a longer period of time in hopes it does the job this time. Doesn't give me any side effects which is something I stressed before taking it."


"My Dr. prescribed me sub-lingual Ativan 1mg for panic attacks. They work pretty well, though for bad episodes I need 2 or 3 pills. The sub-lingual pills take effect in 10 minutes which is awesome when you feel like you are going to die. I am also on an antidepressant for anxiety."


"I'm 23 and was on Microgestin for 4  years. The only major side effect I experienced was not getting my period at all for the last 3 of those years. My doctor explained that it's not uncommon for Microgestin to thin the lining of the uterus so much that there's nothing left to shed, and although I certainly wasn't going to complain, it was still kind of weird. Zero cramps, headaches, nausea, spotting, mood swings, weight change, or change in sex drive. The only down side was that my face broke out about halfway through my pill pack every month; not really terrible acne, just annoying pimples. I've since switched to Ocella and seen a huge improvement in my skin, although I got my period again the first month I switched. "


"My experience with propfol has been great. They've used it during my last two procedures and I out instantly with no memory of the procedure and was able walk myself of the clinic after a very short recovery time. This all coming from person with a phobia  anaesthesia."


"I've been taking it for couple weeks now. No side effects.  I'm a lot happier. I like it better than Zoloft."


"I was on this product for over a year.  It didn't help my plaque psoriasis at all.  The only positive was that it didn't cost me anything to take it and it had no negative side effects.  Not sure how this product even got approved.  I don't know anybody who has said it has even remotely been. effective."


"I take it for sleep quality.  Its not because it makes me tired, but trazodone, (always taken in conjunction with paroxetine) makes me feel rested when I wake up. Before I started taking trazodone, I used to feel tired, lethargic, and a bit queezy no matter how long I slept."


"I've had very good experience with Cymbalta aside from being so expensive. Helps with pain & related insomnia & depression."


"It started out good as all of them have for me than ended up going terribly bad.6 to 8 weeks in I get a stomach flu.I run fever, vomit, have excessive diarrhea,random colon attacks and all of my insides are sore.My fevers can last up to 4 days only being able to keep water on my stomach if I'm lucky."


"Excellent help with severe nausea caused by IBS, SIBO and gastritis."


"I was prescribed this after an operation where the anesthesia induced severe hiccupping for about 6 hours.  Took one tablet and 20 minutes later no hiccups.  When I went to the Philippines I got hiccups again and went to a drug store (no prescription needed), got the lowest dosage (5 mg I think) and my hiccups were gone in 15 minutes."
