"Nexplanon has been the best. I originally selected it 3 yrs ago because I was terrible about remembering to take the pill. When it was first inserted, I was a little moody and almost had a light constant period for a couple months. BUT, when I made it out of that, it was amazing. I have not had mood swings, cramps, or regular periods while I have had the implant the last 3 yrs. I typically had a light period every 3 or 4 months. I am currently going through my first period without Nexplanon. I had mood swings again, cramps, semi-heavy period (much heavier than it was on bc), and I just feel yucky. Definitely recommend!!"


"While this medicine is no where near as strong Klonopin or Xanax for my anxiety, I have found that taking a 50mg Vistaril does just enough to take the edge off."


"Lexapro (which is called Cipralex here in Canada) was what they put me on when I first became extremely anxious (after trying talk therapy and Ativan when needed). It KO'd my anxiety extremely well (alongside continued therapy). Not only my acute anxiety that was causing panic attacks and made me unable to leave the house was handled, but the social anxiety I've lived with all my life. However, it caused me to gain a significant amount of weight, my emotions were somewhat blunted, and for the first few months I was on it, I would get quite sleepy in the morning. It did stop working for me after about 2.5 years, but as short-term anxiety treatment it served me well."


"Got kyleena inserted two weeks ago. I just want to clarify- the insertion is painless. It took less than two minutes. If you have a good doctor, he or she will warn you when you're about to cramp so you can expect it. Yes there are two big cramps that you feel because they're dilating you and putting something up there. I was fine after, walked around, went shopping, etc. Now two weeks later I'm experiencing severe cramps that are almost like painful contractions. Also having light brown bleeding..Will stick it out though, this birth control is brainless my body just has to get used to it."


"I've  been on Invokana for a month. I take 300mg Invokana  & 2000mg Metformin a day. I've lost 12lbs since I started Invokana. The first 2 weeks of taking Invokana I had to go to the bathroom literally every 45 minutes day & night. Now it's every 90 minutes during the day and once while sleeping. I had a horrendous yeast infection. I was constantly thirsty (worse than when I was first diagnosed with diabetes). I'm still thirsty even after drinking 14 to 16- 8 ounce glasses a day throughout the day. Every morning I wake up thirsty. My BG hasn't gone down much, but I haven't been able to exercise in 2 weeks due to a back strain and my eating habits have changed a little, but they still suck. Invokana is probably ok."


"Reduced pain in my C2 but caused nausea, sinus pain, runny nose, cough, when taking 100mg daily, and severely increased symptoms when dose increased to 200 mg daily for one day.  "


"At the tender age of 25, I noticed that my hair was beginning to thin. Not wanting to look like my dad or brother, I got a prescription for Propecia. So far, it's been working. In fact, if I miss a dosage, I'll notice little bits of my hair fall into my keyboard or the pages of a book I'm reading!

Yes, this medication is expensive. My insurance won't cover it at all. (Funny that they cover Viagra, though). The only side effect is that I do notice a slight decrease in my sex drive - but honestly that's probably good. Keeps me out of trouble."


"I was on this BC for about 6 months. This was the second one I tried since the first one made me sick every single morning. This brand though was much worse- about 3 months into it I realized new small bruises all over my legs. Every day there would be more. Then I started coughing up blood. When that happened I went straight to the doctor and told them all that was going on, they ran blood tests and everything. I called my mom crying because I was certain I had cancer. My mom was crying, my dad was crying, my boyfriend was crying. We all were expecting it to be bad. I felt dizzy all the time and like I would pass out, I just felt miserable. Well the blood test came back clear- turns out it was the BC. Never again. Don't take it!"


"34 year old suffering from swollen prostate medicine worked good but had to stop taking it do to back pain that spread to my legs."


"I've been on it now for a month and I've been very moody, angry, and just wanting to be by myself. I've gained 5 extra pounds, but as far as acne goes its been clear. I've been getting really bad headaches, and wanting to throw up after I eat. It seems like I've gotten all the side effects."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"It did empty my colon but very expensive."


"I had full blown AIDS in 2004 with a count of 93 and viral load was enormous. I heard you can build a tolerance to Atripla in 3 or 4 years but I haven't. I've taken it for a decade now. No side effects at all. My count is at a steady 800 and I'm always undetectable. I never had any effects. When I first took it I felt a bit high. But I just took it before I went to bed. Now I can't even tell if I've taken it or not.
This is a guess and simply a personal observation of myself but I think it may cause a heightened sensitivity to wheat. I gained weight, cholesterol went up, triglycerides Sky rocketed about 5 years into it. I just stopped soy, wheat and dairy for three months and everything went back to normal. I have no clue if the medicine is it."


"Started taking 3 years ago. It is important to understand more people will review for negative experiences... When I realized all the negative reviews on this birth control, I thought it was time to hear from a lutera "expert" (of course everyone's body is different)

PROS: LIGHTER periods (went from 5-7 days of super tampons to 2-3 days of regular/light tampons!), CONSISTENT periods, LESS cramps, BIGGER boobs (lol I went up from an A to a B so I personally like this), NO pregnancy!

CONS: HEADACHES (before/during/after period), MOOD SWINGS/DEPRESSION (idk if I'm crazy but I cry a lot and cause fights), BROWN periods, ACNE (never broke out before), WEIGHT GAIN (20lbs in 3 yrs)"


"I got the nexplanon on 9/30/13 after having the mirena for 5yrs that worked great it was time to get a new form of birth control.. so i said yeah 3yrs nexplanon sounded great.. so i got it.. well i have not had any period, no acne, and now this past sunday 10/20/13 it came out of my arm as i was cleaning.. i called the doctor mant times the previous weeks & told them it was not healing, and freaking out that it would come out of my arm.. WEll for sure it is out.. NOW i sit here with the concern that over less than a few weeks was it even working if it could just come out like that. So now i am waiting a few weeks to see if i am pregnant, & if not i will go back to the mirena!!! NEVER AGAIN... BADDDD Very mad about NEXPLANON!!!"


"I used the Ortho Evra patch for five years, but my doctor didn't like it, so he switched me to this. I had weight gain, not a lot, but about 5 -7 lbs, enough to notice, then after taking it for 3 months I stopped having periods all together, My doctor told me to go off it and after 2 months, my period was back."


"My wife was told to try this. A few days later started having heart racing problems. She went to a cardiologist, he changed her heart meds but still kept happing.  We finally looked up the breo side effects and stopped taking it. She hasn't had a problem sence."


"After several months of taking prevacid, if I don't take it for a day, my symptoms now are 10 times worse than they used to be before I started taking it. Not only that, but the doctor has told me that if I continue to take prevacid I will most likely develop osteoporosis (I am only 18 years old).  Overall, after taking this medicine for about half a year, my only choice is to continue taking it, but risk being deficient in some essential nutrients and develop osteoporosis, or stop talking it and experience burning pain and reflux every day, and continue to damage my esophagus."


"I have tried several medications for GERD. Did not work. When I go in to the hospital, I have to have my doctor order that I can bring in my generic Prevacid because they do not carry Prevacid in their pharmacy and the one they give me doesn't work. I take 30mg 2x daily. Have had no side effects. But now my new insurance requires me to get an exception to be able to take 2 per day."


"It helps. I get a really distinct nausea in the night, maybe once a month. I know it when I wake up feeling sick and then my whole body starts to heat up. I take Zofran right away. I still have episodes of almost vomiting, dry heaves I guess, but it keeps it down. Takes a few hours for the symptoms to subside-usually means I'm up half the night, but I'm terrified of throwing up so this is one of the best prevention medicines. This and ginger tea are my go-to remedies. That said, if I don't fully sleep it off I end up with a hangover in the morning."


"This medication has increased my school performance greatly! I have experienced the weight loss and lower libido ALOT. But overall it's really great. I needed to lose weight anyway..."


"i have only been on saxenda for 1 week and have to say was dubious at the start mainly because of the outlay of $387 and what if it didnt work. Well i am happy to say so far it has the thumbs up.  I started out with the minimal dose of .6 and each week this increases eg..week1 .6 week 2  1.2 then 1.8, 2.4 and finally by week 5 you are at a dose rate of 3.0. So really 1 script will last about 6 weeks as u arent on the full dose. if i was to be honest at starting week 2 i didnt feel the need to increase to the 1.2 but i did, and if at the end of week 2 i feel i dont need to go to the to 1.8 then i wont. So after my 1st week i have lost 4.2pounds or 1.9kg and 27cms of the parts i measured so happy so far with the results will keep u posted"


"This pill might work well for younger women (late teens). I took microgestin at 16 and had no problems with it. It worked great but now retaking it in my mid-twenties, I experienced insane emotional breakdowns with this birth control. Those side effects are real! I have taken 2 other types of birth control (loestrin and depo) and neither gave me bouts of intense crying. Very unpleasant and I had to stop taking it. I also experienced nausea and tummy aching if I took this pill without food. I think at 16 my body tolerated the excess estrogen differently. Now in full adulthood my system reacts terribly to this birth control. Emotional breakdown and super intense crying is a real side effect."


"I've been smoke-free for 4 years - took Chantix for two months and although I had some insomnia and strange dreams when I could sleep, I had no wish to smoke!"


"Been on Plavix for 3 yrs, since I had  a quad CABG surgery. Just had two additional stents put in on January 6, 2015.  The first two stents were open no clots, no tissue build up,  I do have some bruising but not extensive bleeding when I receive a cut.  Thankful to stay alive"


"I took Qsymia for resistant metabolism. I am 5'6.5", workout 5-6 times a week (6 miles walking (I try to maintain 15 min miles with lots of hills), spinning, pilates) and have always ate well. My endocrinologist prescribed it after every test came back normal. The Qsymia was awesome.  lost 20+ pounds and got down to 149 and took the medium dose for 18 months. But had hair loss; found out topiramate (one of the two ingredients in Qsymia) can cause this. So sad to come off the Qsymia, but thin and bald are probably not the best look for me. 10 pounds back on my dr. prescribed Belviq XR (won't give me phentermine alone). First dose today, skin has burning sensation, NOT hungry, feel a bit "high".  will discontinue if weight does not drop in first few days."


"Lamotrigine is, hands down, the best bipolar medication I have used! It is highly effective for depressive episodes and has no side effects, for me. It also does not cause weight gain! I am rating 10 out of 10 for bipolar depression. I have combined it with an antipsychotic for mania; a highly effective combination for me.

If you are struggling with bipolar depression, I highly recommend you speak with your doctor about giving lamotrigine a try. The risk of rash is low if you follow your doctor's instructions."


"Waist of money, This stuff actually made my nose worse, if you buy it, your going to throw your money away, garbage!"


"This drug didn't do anything for the first 3 weeks (as expected), but once it started working I felt like a new person. After only a few weeks these effects went away and my life started to feel extremely blend. I figured I would rather experience ups and downs than a blend feeling all the time and stopped the drug with no trouble after 2.5 months."


"I DO NOT RECOMMEND Zepatier because of its long-term side effects. Before starting the medication, my father was able to walk around and care for himself and get things done.

During the 12-week course of Zepatier, he reported extreme fatigue among other side effects. He would often have to nap after waking up mid-morning, then again after 3 or 4 hours. He is an avid cook, but did not have the energy to cook, and experienced a decrease in appetite.

3 weeks AFTER he completed his 12-week course of Zepatier, he is worse than he was before starting. He is still unable to stay awake throughout the day. Every little task exhausts him before he can complete it."


"My husband and I quit with Chantix 3 1/2 years ago - and yes, we're still non-smokers.  Chantix is truly the "magic pill" we used to joke about.  We had each been smoking for 30  years and decided to quit when the price started skyrocketing here in NY state.  We had our last cigarettes on March 5, 2009.  We actually continued smoking for 2 weeks on Chantix, just because we had cigarettes left and decided to finish off what we had.  After a week the cigarettes started tasting very, very bad.  It got to the point that we were barely smoking a half of each cigarette.  Now, I can't stand the smell of cigarettes and can tell immediately if someone is a smoker.  I NEVER thought I'd be able to quit, but I did!"


"It made me very sleepy and dizzy. I also got chest pains and it made my heart race. My urine was also a very bright, almost neon yellow color.

I stopped taking it after it 2 days and then I was fine. And I always took it after I ate. The one time I took it on an empty stomach, I vomited and was nauseous for a few hours."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"It felt like my head was spinning so bad that I would fall if I bent over.  It seemed that every nerve in my body was on the edge like a full blown bad panic attack. It took an entire day after I took one Epidrin to come down off of the dizziness and stop feeling doped."


"I've been on Taxol for 4 years for metastatic stage 4 breast cancer and they haven't seen the lump since 2012. I'm still on the drug every 3 weeks. So far I've had pneumonia twice, and I have chronic neuropathy I'm my hands and feet but I'm use to it. Otherwise I've never been sick and I eat like a pig. Moreover I'm still "alive and kickin." I do not plan to die any time soon. Besides my doctor being blessed by God, my faith in God is working as well. So forget the statistics. Have faith and "keep it moving." Taxol does work, it's the best. Good Luck and God Bless."


"I've been on this since last June, at 5 mg once daily. I had a rough time adjusting at first but I felt that it helped so much that I wanted to keep taking it. For me, I felt like the benefits outweighed the side effects. I tried to go off of it last month to see how I felt and that was when I realized how much it helps me! I went back on it in October and I am tolerating it much  better. I can't imagine my life without it now. It's a very sophisticated drug!"


"After months of cbt with my psychologist for severe anxiety and panic disorder i decided to seek help from a psychiatrist.

I was perscribed 5mg then 10mg of lexapro to start and it gradually incresed to 20mg.

In the first few days i had never felt worse. More frequant and severe panic attacks and my general anxiety went through the roof and i had the most extreme feeling of hopelessness. I was a mess and calling my drs telling them i needed to stop taking it. They reassured me these side affects would go away within weeks, and they did. I continued with the cbt, mindfullness, lifestyle changes and stayed on the lexapro and within months i felt i was back to my normal self. Post like these kept me going. Hang in there, you're not alone!"


"Female age 59 decent health other than  arthritis (Advanced hip arthritis with bone spurs ) No other meds. Prescribed 50mg Tramadol; 1 @ bedtime. Has not relieved pain at all. Jokingly thought pharmacy gave me placebo. No side effects whatsoever. Took it only on weekends in case I felt dizzy or euphoric so I wouldn't have to drive to work. Eventually will have replacement surgery, but so many factors involved so I  was excited when my 'new' Dr prescribed it. So disappointed! I've gone back to my OTC cocktails. Advil + Aleve or Excedrin + Bayer + Tylenol. On the weekends I sometimes go without taking anything to avoid tolerance build up."


"I love it. The insertion was not nearly as horrible as I had expected. Of course, it was uncomfortable, but totally bearable and quick. Afterwards, I cramped and bled (lightly) for the rest of the day. I recommend spending the day in bed with a heating pad like I did. For about a week after insertion, I experienced light to moderate cramping but now (a few months later), I experience no cramping and no period. I also haven't had any issue with the IUD strings. My partner hasn't "felt" them at all, which was another concern.

Overall, it's great. No more worrying about taking a pill every day and remembering to take my birth control with me on trips, out camping, etc. I haven't had a period at all, and it's long term. I love it"


"Really has not reduced my appetite. I have tried this for 30 - 90 days, 3 different times. I also get a side effect that is not listed, but after the 3rd time using this, I'm 100 % sure that it causes a sensation of burning on the tip of my tongue. It stops after a few days of not using the medication."


"I've used this before a long time ago, and I remember it being a life saver.  When an infection popped up I went to my local pharmacy and grabbed a box.  Surely I would have remember pain like this.  I can't move the burn is so intense, did they change the formula?  I am about to run back to my pharmacy to buy something to flush out the "medication""


"First pill caused a slight tingling and numbness in lips, tongue, fingers and toes.

Second dose twelve hours later caused much worse numbness and tingling, pain in hands, along with a very bad headache.

Called physician in AM and she advised me to stop medication immediately which I did.

She advised me to wait 24 hrs before using new script,  she will call in for another antibiotic. Numbness and tingling lasted 48 hrs. after stopping meds.

Will not try again!"


"I had mine for almost 2 years. I didn't bleed at all the first 2 months. And than once I started to have a period it would last for almost a month and than I wouldn't have one or two months after that. I went for a check up and my doctor put me on a low dose of birth control pills and told me not to take the placebo (last week of the pills) and see if that helps. I did that for about 6 months no change what so ever it just got worse. Once I hit 3 months of none stop spotting and bad mood swings I decided that it was time to get it removed. I had it removed and got the depo shot in the same day. The doctors said that we have to give it 3 more months for my body to adjust. I just want to have a normal period again!!"


"I have been on Arimidex for 3 years and about 1 year of the generic Anastrozole. I had a horrible time at first with hot flashes and night sweats and also joint pains. But now after about 4 years I am doing a lot better. Hardly any hot flashes and night sweats.  The joint pains have also subsided but I have started a walking program everyday that I really believe has helped me.  I have gained about 20lbs in the past 4 years that I am trying to get off.  I really think it is due to menopause and also the medicine."


"It helped in the beginning. The first 6 months were great.  I started cramping more after each period though.  And now I have pain every day even when I take my pill.  Still worth a try, plus it's nice not to have that many periods."


"All day , all night the pill made me a hero "


"I have been on belviq for about 18 days and have lost 8lbs. And still loosing weight. It really works the way it is supposed to. I am on a strict diet plan and exercise plan. I forgot to take it for a day and got a really bad tension headache. But with staying on it I have no side effects :)"


"I've had the implant since July 2010. The insertion was very easy and painless, except for the lidocaine it stung a bit.  I really like that I don't have to take a pill everyday. I don't like that I may go 2 months without a period, but will then bleed for 2 straight months! My periods are erratic and go on for a long time. I'm debating on getting it taken out, who wants to bleed for months at a time?"


"Nexplanon is great as far as preventing pregnancy. It is nice not having to take the pill every single day and it is very effective. I have been on Nexplanon since August 15, 2014. After about a month, I started spotting everyday and I haven't stopped since. It has been 10 months of constant spotting. I also always feel bloated. Initially, I had moon swings, my mood has definitely leveled out since then. I am getting the implant out next week and I cannot wait to go back to a normal cycle. I would not suggest getting Nexplanon."


"I have been taking Xyzal for nearly 1 year now and it truly has been my life saver.  I suffer from extreme seasonal allergies and indoor allergies with all the symptoms; itchy red eyes, itchy ears and feet, sneezing 5  times an hour, congested sinuses, headaches, congestion, hives, and frequent bloody noses.  I tried over-the-counter and prescription drugs for nearly 10 years with no success.  Xyzal has honestly relieved all my symptoms.  I take my dose before bed because it does make me sleepy.  I have no problems making it through my work day.  I do have a little bit of a dry throat side effect, but that is nothing compared to the misery I was in before."


"Working very well to control blood pressure; but am having stomach and bowel problems. I would like to see a lower dosage available as I have to watch very closely to make sure blood pressure isn't too low. "


"I took the pill 20 or so hours after unprotected sex and when I woke up in the morning, I had almost immediate results. I woke up with lower abdominal pains (which is normal), and went about my daily routine. I started to experience a great amount of fatigue and I really honestly just wanted to sleep the whole day. I am telling you, the side effects are not too bad. Although, I missed my period. After I missed my period I began panicking but today I got my period! All is well, please do not stress out if you haven't gotten your period. Mine was 4 days late but this pill really works and it is worth the 50 or so dollars! :)"


"This medication has changed my life! Welcome world  :)"


"I was very skeptical about Nexplanon. I had it inserted because I was taking anti-depressants and did not want to have any risk of pregnancy with Condoms. My major doubt was regarding mood swings and depression with Nexplanon but after getting it inserted I did not have any of these issues. I had a slight gain in inches specially in breast size but I am free of periods now and no cramping. I do observe brown colored spotting during my period time but nothing other that. My experience is good so far and its been an year for me having Nexplanon."


"Amantadine produced immediate positive results in me, specifically in my ability to move, increased facial expression, and sense of well being."


"Hey guys my name is Daniel and I'm 22 years old. I just want to start of by telling u a little of my 4 years of hell I been through. First of I was 18 when I started having panic attacks for NO reason. One night I just woke up with it and didn't even know what was happening to me, I thought of course I was dying or having a heart attack. Sure enough I was healthy and had all the test ran and of course was dignozed with General Anxiety. Then the fun started, (btw I find it very helpful to talk about these horrible illness in a joking way to teach myself they aren't going to kill me only make life a little more difficult) I had horrible Anxiety attacks and life as I knew it was just impossible."


"I have been taking these pills for two months now and it has shown very good results. Before beginning Necon 1 / 35 I was taking Loestrin and I was constantly spotting and I had my period three times in one month."


"Terrible! Eyes much, much worse after using. Much drier and itchier than before. Would never recommend to anyone. Would select 0 if I could."


"I am on 20mg lexapto for 18 months now. I feel better than I have in years however I've gained about 30lbs which is now really getting me down. I suppose I need to balance my mental health with how I look but it does get to me. Anyone else suffered with weight gain?"


"I just started using the patch yesterday and after sleeping I saw that the patch was starting to come off.  I had to put medical tape all around the patch to keep it on; but even the tape is folding up I am not sure that this patch will last longer than 2 days. I am afraid to take a shower because I think the thing is going to come right off."


"Chantix worked for me although the side effects were no fun for me. I was a pack day smoker for 9 years. Chantix took my cravings and desire to smoke. Experienced vivid dreams, stomach pains, dry mouth and extreme hunger. I stopped taking it after two weeks. For about a month after taking it, I experienced severe depression. I had forgotten that was a symptom so i could not recognize what had caused this until my depression was over. I have never struggled with depression and this took a toll in my work and the way I related with people around me. I started smoking again a month later. Planning on giving it one more chance and this time, Ill be able to RECOGNIZE it. Good luck everyone."


"I decided to write this review so other women can really research before having an IUD inserted. Tomorrow will be a week since my IUD insertion. The insertion was painful and awful. First Liletta inserted fell off & than I had another put in. My pain never ceased. I have been bloated since insertion, plus I have the urge to urinate often. I had it inserted on a Thursday. Since my doctor told me the pain would last a couple of days, I decided to wait it out but the past weekend was July 4th. To top it off my doctor wasn't there on Yesterday. Today(Wednesday), I finally went in. The IUD was no where to be found. I was sent for an X-ray and sure enough it looks like it either perforated my bladder or uterus. I'm scheduled for surgery in 12hrs"


"I've been on erubulin for 14 months and the cancer has been pretty stable. Been on chemo for nearly 4 years when breast cancer came back as bone metastasis. This is 9th chemo drug I've been on counting first rounds 9 years ago. It's been the easiest re side effects."


"June 8...start med at 247 lb. Added  exercise and healthy foods...not a fast food restaurant ever! Today...Dec 15 I am at 167 lb. ...it works."


"Like many of you, I've suffered since I was a teenager with migraines 3-5 times a week. Some would be so serious I would end up in the hospital a few times a year. I even lost a job because of my migraines. I had to plan my life around them. Now at 35, I've been on Topamax for 6 years and it's changed my world. It's given me a life back. I'll still get an occasional headache that requires me to break out the Imitrex, but nothing serious. I haven't had too many problems with side effects other then having a little less quick recall/memory, but not enough to really matter. Potassium seems to help with the side effects. My main side effect is getting rash/hives from overheating. "


"Suvorexant 20mg worked excellent until abnormal adverse effect of hives started approximately week 4 into therapy. It works well for me other than for the hives that prevents me from taking it.

I miss being able to sleep like I did on Suvorexant. I am looking forward to SORAs allowing me to sleep normally again like I did while on Suvorexant, but hopefully without the problem of hives, which I may be the only person known to get hives from Suvorexant. Loratidine resolves the hives but so does ceasing Suvorexant, so I stopped Suvorexant and am once again a miserable insomniac...

Thank you Merck and all chemists and scientists for a brief period of relief and some hope that normal sleep is possible. This was a good drug, but not for me."


"After 4-5 months on the med, I am having problem of discomfort in one eye.   Feels like foreign body.    Cannot use latanoprost two days straight as left eye feels like I have something in it. I am seeing doctor tomorrow.   Hope he can fix the problem."


"I'm 19 and I started taking 100mg Vyvanse a day when I was 17. Before Vyvanse I took Focalin. I love Vyvanse except for the fact that it doesnt last for the full 12 hours. When I first started on it, my senior year in high school after I had my daughter. I had never felt so confident. I made high honors and was like smart for the first time. I was capable of being focused of what was only going on in the classroom and didn't have to worry about anything besides school. I just really hated when I would crash because then I would get tired and then didn't feel like really doing anything. I do notice side effects but other then that I think it's worth taking."


"Lexapro is a life saver. I have been on it for about a week and a half now and I am already seeing a dramatic improvement. My panic attacks, anxiety and depression are gone. FINALLY, my mood is more stable now and I'm beginning to be able to think positive about the future. I'm glad I will be around to see another day."


"I have tried 3, 5 and 10 mg of Melatonin for the past few weeks with zero relief from insomnia. I cannot even tell I've taken anything! Whilst I am pleased it helps so many I really wish it would help me, too.  Guess I will continue taking Zopiclone!"


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"I have taken this medicine along with Toprol-XL for a few years and it has helped A LOT! I think this medicine paired with Toprol-XL is great!"


"I experienced "poop out" after being on Lexapro for 7 years.  I was prescribed 150 mg of Welbutren, which was upped to 300mg.  The Lexapro kicked in after a few weeks, and worked like a charm.  After one year, my anxiety and depression returned progressively getting worse over a period of three months.  Finally realized my insurance switched me to the generic escitalopram. I had been taking it for three months without realizing it! Requested to switch back to Lexapro, however, Tricare insurance would not cover it so had to pay almost 178 per month for brand name.  That was two years ago.  Now pay 294 per month. Tricare still will not pay.  Considering buying from Canada."


"I've been on gildess fe 1/20 for about 4 months now and at first it was great! Slowly i started to see changes in my behavior and body...i started getting irritated more and easier, i started getting a lot more emotional than normal, and i started gaining weight resulting in me getting depressed about my body. I spot in the middle of my cycle about a week before my before starts and i thought this was just my body getting use to it, but it's become clockwork. I have nothing but nightmare stories with birth control so i'm starting to feel like it's not for me"


"My doctor prescribed this yesterday because I have had horrible insomnia.  My girlfriend warned me that she had taken it years ago and it made her feel like a zombie the next day, on top of horrible nightmares.   Unfortunately I had the exact same experience last night.  I took the medicine at 8:30pm in hopes of being asleep by 9, 9:30 at the latest as I am up at 5am for work.    Well, 12am rolls around and I am still wide awake in bed, but crazy dizzy and out of it.   It did absolutely nothing to help with my mind racing.    I finally fell asleep between 1am or 2am and had horrid nightmares to the point that I would wake up in a sweat, go back to sleep and have the same nightmare all over again.  This morning I feel dizzy and have no focus"


"Took very lose dose. Great for sleep but I experienced a significant increase in appetite which led to a 30lbs weight gain in 1 and 1/2 months. Switched to Seroquel at 100mg and appetite returned to normal."


"Every year around mountain cider time, one of my eye's starts to water, tears are running down my face and it's really imbarassing at times. But Advil put a stop to that. Its truely God sent."


"I took this medication for just two days. My doc told me I did not have to wean off of effexor I could just start taking the trintellix on the day I chose.  I became severely depressed.  It hit me like a load of bricks.  Sobbing, feeling helpless, hopelessness and that my life was just not worth living.  I was shocked at how fast these feeling came upon me  I have never experienced something like this before and I have been on several antidepressants over the years.  I also had severe nausea and diarrhea for over 24 hours.  The third day, yesterday I went back to the effexor.  Today I finally feel like myself inside and out.  This medication was NOT for me!"


"I have depression, anxiety and stress caused by my workplace. I have noticed that for the first time I can actually enjoy going to work. Before this medicine I used to cry and shake in bed before work, and my poor husband had to drive me there like I was a little kid going through withdrawals from parents. I've noticed I don"t "freak" out as much, and the best thing is my anti-medication" husband calls Effexor XR a "miracle pill". The only side effects I've noticed are extreme racing thoughts, and night sweats."


"Extremely effective with no side effects other than drowsiness for first three days. Generic brands result in withdrawal symptoms- no idea why. Cannot miss more than one dose even on proper Lexapro or withdrawal symptoms occur."


"I have been on Xanax 3 times a day for years. Recently my blood pressure has been high and my BP medicine alone was not working but when I take Vistaril and metoprolol twice a day and my Xanax as I've been doing it definitely helps my blood pressure and anxiety!"


"After having 3 children and not being comfortable even looking at myself in the mirror, I started Phen 37.5 yesterday. I weighed in at 190.0 I am excited to see where I'll be in a week, but even more so in 30 day period after taking the full month prescription.  Yesterday I was advised to take half and to do so for possibly up to a week til my body gets used to it, and I did feel a little jittery and I did have some trouble getting to sleep and staying to sleep, so I'm taking half again today, but overall, nothing too crazy. I'll update again next Friday."


"The pain went away when having a BM but after six weeks of rushing to, the bathroom and not making it in time I had to quit it.  Can't go thru that every morning."


"I agree that for most it works just fine as it does for me. Why else would a doctor recommend this when he doesn't get anything from it financially? Because in almost all cases, it works and his reputation is based on his recommendations."


"I have been on 1 mg 3 x daily for anxiety for approximately 1 year and 0.5mg 2 x daily for the last 6 years. It was a life saver during times of anxiety and stress during my divorce and recently during my discovery of bipolar illness.  It works wonderfully for irritability with other drug reactions. Recently I was taken off the drug by my doctor because of habit forming controversy. Didn't think I was addicted because I took only on an as needed basis and did not follow directions precisely. Although I did experience severe irritation within 3 to 10 days of being off medication, I still feel for many people this medication is a necessity."


"I been on this birth control for about a month now, so far so good. I haven't had any side effects. I was a heavy bleeder, but since starting Sprintec they are now lighter."


"Bydureon worked well helping my A1C level, 7.6 to 6.5. Also sugar levels went from 120-140 fasting to 90-110. After meals levels went from 180-220 to 140-160. I also lost 19 lbs in three months. After 3 months the side effects became too much to handle. Nausea and vomiting were constant. Woke up one night so sick I could not keep any thing down. Three hours later ended up in ER dehydrated. Have stopped taking bydureon two weeks ago but it still is in my system. Still nausea and upset stomach with sour taste in mouth. Results were great. Just couldn't handle side effects."


"I had it put in place in January of 2008 and I love the way I don't have to remember to take the pill.  The procedure was painless just don't look while it's inserted.  I have had horrible periods since though which is the only fall back but a big one.  I have periods for 3 weeks now and it's completely unexpected periods where before when I was on the pill I was regular.  Now I have to decide whether the long periods are worth it, to keep it in place."


"I've been taking Escitalopram for 16 days. I started on 2.5mg but it made me very tired, In fact, exhausted! Plus I couldn't sleep. I played around with the time of day I took it. Still tired!! I decided to start weaning off but within 3 days I was feeling suicidal again so I took 2.5mg again, then 3.75mg.  Within 2 days, feeling ok. Lots of energy. Cleaning. Visiting family. I actually feel too wired and have tremors so I'm going to drop down to 3mg. this is a very powerful drug. Go slow. It's the fastest and most effective antidepressant I've ever taken."


"I'm in Australia ,  only just started this medication a week ago but I feel a less fatigued already. I was stuck in bed most days, but now I can go longer without needing to go to bed or feeling like I'm going to collapse. I haven't noticed any bad side effects yet either which is good! As I get nauseated and dizzy on meds easily and haven't found that to be the case! I just wanted to point out that some people hear a lot of bad things that aren't necessarily reported or true. Like I noticed a woman on here said she needs to stop taking it because of the tinnitus side effect means she might go deaf. But deafness hasn't been reported, just tinnitus as a side effect whilst taking it. Don't be so afraid if it's going to give u your life back"


"This drug works wonders on my headaches!"


"I personally am a heavier person, i have a lot of anxiety and depression on a daily basis and its been this way since i was 14. Im now 18 and i've been using many different prescriptions for my anxiety and depression and i've found benzos work well. But recently I was prescribed gabapentin 300mg 4 times a day and I found that it does affect your coordination taking this much of a dose but amazingly took away all my anxiety without any xanax like I usually take and it worked even better for my depression. I do feel a buzz almost as many users report when they first start, which i don't mind as i work from home and enjoy it but this could be a problem for addiction. Luckily I'm only using it temporarily and not long term."


"I have been taking Ultram for about 2 weeks now.  The pain is still there but not as sharp as it was.  The only side effects I have encountered is cold sweats and erectile dysfunction.  I have heard that this medication causes the erectile dysfunction but did not believe it until now."


"I had been on the pill for about 1 year.  The first 3 months were pretty bad, experienced nausea and stomach pains.  In the following months my acne cleared, my period pains were less and periods were shorter.  I feel I retain water and it shows I gained 10lbs.  I was more moody and worried about things that made me feel crazy.  I just recently decided to stop using the pill I want to get back to my normal self.  "


"I am 27 and have degenerative disc disease and a bulging disc at L4-5. I have been suffering from life stopping pain for about 3 years. Been through two rounds of Physical Therapy and 6 injections. Like many other people, I have been through a lot of different pain medicines and have developed a tolerance. Dilaudid has really helped me function in my daily life. Without it there were days I could barely get out of bed. I've been taking Dilaudid for about 8 months now and am up to 4mg up to 3 times a day. And, like other people have said, it does work quickly. The only con I have is that it doesn't last long. I feel like it wears off in about 2-3 hours. "


"I've been on Yaz for 7 months now, and I am extremely happy with it. I was always a ravenous, aching, emotional mess before my period. It was hard for me to function, and when I was in uni since I could skip classes and lie in bed and cry. I couldn't do that when I started working though. Yaz now makes me a functional human being every day of the month, and even gave me clear skin and an increase in appetite as add-on rewards!

The adjustment period was shitty for me because I breakthrough bled my way through my first three months on Yaz, had really bad mood swings that came without notice, and then had a two-week long period. After that period, though, my body has accepted Yaz as its own, and my life is stellar!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I have  had UC/Crohn's for 30 years with colonoscopies every 1-3 yrs.  This was the best prep I have ever used.  The taste is acceptable and the smaller quantity of fluids is very easy to handle.  I just chugged it right down.  It worked quickly-within the hour, no cramping, no chills, no headache.  I used the split dose and the only down side was getting up at 3am because I had an early morning procedure scheduled.  I will use this prep again; it was a breeze.  I highly recommend it."


"One of the best for acute pain. I was suffered low back pain for nearly two years. I try lot of medicines but found no result.Then my doctor advised me to use BUPEONORPINE patches.After three days I found myself now painless world."


"I was skeptical, but after 2 nights of using this I'm almost 100% dry!"


"I started taking Cymbalta about one month ago. Initially the dose was 30mg for 2 weeks and 60mg following. I cannot believe how well this has helped me. I suffered with depression and severe anxiety. I will continue this medication as I understand full benefit may not be reached for several months. Overall I am extremely satisfied with Cymbalta. My only side effects are constipation and decreased appetite which I have resolved with Miralax and eating small meals more often. I also realized the increased taste of salt during my meals which has seemed to decrease more each day."


"I am a 30 yr old female who has suffered from severe panic attacks since I was 16 yrs old. I lost my mother of a fatal heart attack when she was 27 yrs old and have always feared the same would happen to me. I have seen a cardiologist since I was 17 and have had as many heart tests done that they would probably perform on an 80 yr old. I've always checked out fine and not seemed to have inherited anything my mother had. When I have anxiety, which leads into a panic attack my mind spirals out of control. I am a nurse also and picture worse case scenarios all these symptoms could be. I have been on Zoloft for 6 weeks now. It's helping but I'm still not 100% and using Xanax to cope. I'm pleased with results though and hopeful I will get better."


"I have had the Mirena IUD for a year now. I got it about 5 weeks after giving birth.  The procedure was simple and ALMOST pain-free.  I bled the 1st day it was inserted and haven't bled much since.  I do however have painful cramps that come and go, headaches, weight gain, lack of energy, and the Mirena is causing polycystic ovarian syndrome.  Somehow the Mirena string is gone, but the Mirena is still in place.  I like it because I don't have to do pills everyday or shots every 3 months, but the side effects for me have been the downside."


"I  had sex on the first day of the month. After we had finished he had told me the condom broke and he had finished inside me. I was not on any form of birth control at the time. Immediately our first thought was plan b. I took plan b about two and half hours after I had sex. The pill was very strong and left my system messed up but to think positively I kept telling myself, " it's because the pill is working".  6 days after taking plan b I got my period, it was a huge relief. Try and focus on something else other than this, and do not worry until you know you need it. This pill is very affective."


"might as well be taking aspirin..low doses"


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for a year and a half now due to heavy periods and severe cramps and I haven't had many problems with it. My periods have gotten lighter only lasting about 4 days and I have had little to no cramps. I never gained any weight and my breasts were never tender. Though, one side effect that I did always seem to have was yeast infections. Also, if the pill was missed or taken late, then it made me very nauseated and I had to miss class a few times. Overall, it was a great birth control but I am now switching to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo."


"Had my first outbreak about two weeks ago, it was excruciatingly painful. Couldn't urinate without being In the bath tub or running water over the sores....this outbreak had been going on for a whole two weeks almost so I went to my doctor and she prescribed me valtrex 500mg 2x a day. By the second day of taking the medication the burning while urinating went away. I am now on day 6 and the sores are almost all gone, I have maybe one left but there's little to no feeling in it. This was my first outbreak and I just turned 21, it flared up right after I got the flu and had a high fever. Apparently hsv can stay dormant in your body for some time until your immune system is shot...but I'm finally feeling normal again and the meds for sure work"


"My blood pressure has been around 165/93..it has been running this high even tho Im on hcz 25 mg 2x day and propanonol 25 mg 2xday. So my md put me on this med on top of the other 2 Ive been on it a few days..my mouth has been extremely dry..headache plus my bp was 86/53 this am...guess what its Saturday and it makes me itch"


"Relieves tremor and dyskinesia.
"


"I started out weighing 98kgs in May 2014, I have an underactive thyroid, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, with Irritable bowl, so I eat a Gluten Free Diet. my exercise levels are high, I swim 2-3 miles a week, work out 3-4 mornings a week (power hooping, kettle bells and situps to name a few) and I work in an active environment with Special Needs Children. Because of how active I am and I could not lose weight the doctor put me on Orlistat. I have now lost over 8Kgs and my next weigh in is the end of this month (August). I find it easy to do, I eat a low fat diet anyway so that hasn't been too hard but I do find myself being careful of my lower body functions. I've been caught out a couple of times which can be unpleasant but I'm happy with the loss so far."


"I had a bad experience with this drug. I have taken Zegrid for years and felt like I may need something stronger. My doctor gave me Dexilant 30 mg samples to try. I experienced nausea, body aches, stomach pain, gas and excessive burping. On second thought, I will keep using Zegrid!  After one day of stopping this medicine, my symptoms went away."


"I have struggled with asthma my whole life. I used my inhaler on average 10 times a day. I started Breo it started working right away.  By day 3 I noticed that I hadn't used my inhaler all day.  Using Breo has given me tremendous relief! I love it and it has seriously given me a better quality of life."


"I was on 30mg of Prevacid morning and night it worked great but insurance wouldn't cover, it would cost $400 month. Stomach Doctor switched me to Nexium 5 days ago, insurance covers it but just hate the side effects. Tongue is numb and throat burns. Went to Walgreens today the Pharmacist said the OTC Prevacid is the same but I would have to take 4 capsules a day. The 42 count box had a $10 off coupon. I bought 4 boxes which equals 1 month the total cost was less than my copay. I can't wait to start taking it tonight and get my mouth/throat back to normal."


"I was only on this med for about 6 weeks when I finally figured out it was causing severe joint pain in my knees and feet. Stopped taking it and the pain went away after one day. Also caused diahrea. I'm going to try lowering my cholesterol with diet and exersize. Too many risks of side effects with statins."


"Diagnosed with MS April 2006 after getting double vision.  Started using Rebif August 2006. Experienced head aches and fatigue the day after a shot once I tritrated up to the full dose.  Was definitely more severe in the beginning, but lessened with time.  Ibuprofen has always worked best for me for managing the side effects.  2013 - found out I had Thyroid cancer, and had my thyroid removed.  I did not have to stop taking Rebif during this time.  Also, first new lesion presented on an MRI - that is 7 years with no remarkable change. September 2015 -- just found out my white blood cell count has dropped remarkably in the last 3 months (I get a Complete Blood Count and liver function done every 3 months, religiously) Probable side effect. Told to stop meds for 1 mo"


"I have lost 26lbs in 4 months but have plateaued now for over a month. I think my body said, ok if that is what you are feeding me, fine.  I am not eating anymore and in fact probably less.  Has anyone else hit the floor and can't go down anymore."


"I am 11 days post op from emergency gallbladder surgery.  Been having severe nausea again just like I did before my gallbladder surgery. Having trouble with eating. Went today and had my post op visit with the surgeon. Told him I've been feeling really bad and nauseated. Lost 10 lbs in 11 days. He prescribed zofran 4mg every 8 hours. Insurance paid for 30 tablets. I also have a refill. Started today. I took my first dose about an hour ago. I actually feel good. The nausea has subsided. So far no side effects."


"I've had paragard since November 2016. It is now June 2017. At first the pain was unbearable. I'm a very pain tolerant person who has numerous piercings and tattoos. When the doctors told me my period cramps would get worse I thought nothing of it. After getting it I realized what they meant. My pain was awful for the first 6 months. I could only lay down and would cry for hours. I also had to find a pain pill so I could function at my warehouse job. Finally after the sixth month my pain went from feeling like child birth to non existent. I still have a nice heavy flow but almost no pain. I know there are a ton of bad reviews but in the end you just have to try it out yourself. I am so happy!"


"I was asked a few months ago to give a best man speech in front of 800 people at my best friends wedding. I was super stressed for the months leading up to the event and went to my doctor to ask for a prescription.  He prescribed 1-4 20gm pills 1-2 hours before speaking. The wedding was last night and due to the chaos I didn't know when my speech would be. I ended up taking one 20mg pill about 4 hours before my speech, a second 20mg pill about 2.5 hours before my speech and chewing half a pill about 20 min before my speech. I am amazed at how effective this medicine is, I was calm through the entire speech with no racing heart or trembling voice.  My only recommendation is to take it with food otherwise it may cause upset stomach."


"I have been on YAZ for only a week now and my skin is really clearing up!  This is after trying antibiotics and topicals for a year with little to no help.  Made me a little moody and tearful and tired the first couple of days but it seems my body has already gotten used to it.  Haven't been bloated or anything. If you are breaking out around your chin/jawline/neckline area it is probably hormonal and you should try YAZ"


"I'm 20 years old and just started Pristiq 4 days ago. First time on antidepressants and I noticed a change immediately! I can actually enjoy my days and not cry excessively or get as many anxiety attacks. The only side effects I have are nausea and loss of appetite. But I highly recommend it!"


"This is totally awesome."


"I tried literally everything from the "best" off the shelf products to the long line of prescription medications that my dermatologist put me on, I finally got put on Accutane after 5 years of severe cystic acne. I am currently in my second month of use and without any acne. My acne scars remain intact, however, there is not a single active zit on my face. I am very excited and would recommend that anyone with cystic acne look into it.
If you're on here looking at these reviews because you're scared or unsure if it will treat your acne, I'm telling you it will! 100%"


"For me Implanon has been the best thing I ever got in never had any problems with it or many side effects. stopped my periods totally but I don't mind that at all. After getting my second one in today and happy out. Definitely would recommend it as I was put on different pills before I got Implanon in and they didn't agree with me at all I felt very sick and bloated and stabbing pains I was delighted when found out about Implanon :)"


"Had the Mirena put in last August and had it removed yesterday. The Dr.'so tell you it is the gets better but I don't agree. I bled for weeks on end (like 4-5 at a time), was moody and no longer had any sex drive. I already have 4 kids so will go ahead with a tubal ligation instead. Wasn't a good experience at all."


"I'm 22, have no children, and had my Mirena inserted about 3 months ago. I was first on Skyla for 3 years, then the second time around chose Mirena as it lasts longer and because of the current political climate. The insertion was very easy for me, however that may have been because I already had an IUD in the past. The insertion of my first IUD was terrible, VERY painful, but the benefits outweighed the few minutes of pain. Since having the Mirena IUD I've only had 1 period that lasted 1-2 days. I've never once had the slightest concern about being pregnant, and have experienced no side effects besides a few days of spotting after the insertion. Highly highly recommend."


"Now I am 3 months into it. And I'm still feeling great! A blood analysis revealed a level of  440 ng/dL (I was at  200 ng/dL before the treatment). My T level is right in the middle of the normal range. I don't have problems with skin irritation at the application sites.
So it's working for me ! Sex life and marriage back on track. Fitness, good mood and mental acuity are also great.
In Australia Axiron costs me about $1 per day, which is negligible considering how it changed my life. I am 36 and I am on 2 pumps a day (60mg / day)."


"Has worked well for many years"


"I have had a good experience after trying to find the right cocktail for several years. I have a very high-stress job and my anxiety is put to the test daily. It is not clinically significant at this point and I can only attribute that to finally having my medicines right. I am taking Wellbutrin, Lamictal, Topamax and Zoloft at pretty low dosages for each. I did lose about 70 pounds. After over a year on the Topamax, my normal appetite has started to return and I have gained back about 10 pounds, but I still have self control that I lacked when I was fighting depression which is now at bay."


"My father, who is 57 (and works 40 hours at home depot a week), has had multiple surgery's on his neck and lower back and has tried every pain killer for the past 15 years. He finally got prescribed methadone, and it worked better than he could ever imagine. Even though the laws in Florida are hard and he has a hard time filling his medicine script for the methadone, they work great. Even as a man who is almost 60 and should be disabled he is able to provide for his family."


"After 3  years of a dark depression, I hit bottom and started Wellbutrin 300mg every day. Over the next 2 years, I've lost weight (because I was trying), I quit smoking (because I wanted to) and I discovered a small part of life that was tolerable (a small part). I increased to 400mg in July because I felt myself slipping back to the dark place and it's the first time I've noticed side effects: marked insomnia, unfavorable irritability, a little bit of numbness, I crave sweets and I don't seem to want sex as much. So I'm thinking 300mg was the therapeutic dose for me and will call my doctor to see what the plan is. On the bright side of the 400mg, I'm sitting here tonight writing a positive review for the medicine I believe in."


"I switched from Sprintec to Kurvelo because the side effects were getting unbearable (sore boobs, low libido, very dry during sex, depression, mood swings). I took Sprintec for about 8 months and am currently on my 4th month of Kurvelo, but the difference is amazing!! Mentally, I feel pretty sane, no sore boobs, I feel like having sex again, and can actually get wet. Periods last 5 days but are extremely light, and I rarely get cramps. The only negative is that my skin is not as clear as before. I had moderate acne before birth control, and it was nearly non-existant with Sprintec. I probably get at least few zits per week with Kurvelo, but it's tolerable because I don't get any of the other side effects that Sprintec gave me."


"Have been prescribed this med twice before. First two times worked like magic. Just swept the urge to cough away. This time, years later, same story. After 8 days of continuous wracking coughs, and 20-hours a day in bed, gave up on OTC-DM tablets and went for better help. After 1 perle, the coughing has subsided.  No side effects. Bliss."


"Unfortunately since being on contraceptive I have got a lot of a thrush and yeast infections. For me, creams don't work, and pessaries can leave me feeling quite painful. But the  fluconazole tablet has always worked for me! No side effects and usually I will see the difference within a few hours and it's completely gone within a day or two. Brilliant stuff."


"I have only been on it for like 4 days now and I hate it I have  eating more now  Then I every have on anything else. And the price it way to high $67.00"


"I absolutely love this medicine so far the only medicine that has done anything for me. I actually know what happy is now. Working great for depression and anxiety."


"Amazing medicine!  My doctor finally took me of Seroquel and put me on an upped dose of Latuda making my dosage 160 mg instead of 80 mg. I feel great and never better. I've lost 20 lbs in a month! Now I'm stuck at this weight but I did lose most of the weight I gained before.  It definitely makes me sleepy but I've heard this goes away soon as your body adjusts.  As for the nausea I've found eating small amount before and larger portion after taking the medicine and following it with a ginger pill and milk helps to stop it."


"I was experiencing back to back UTIs for 8-9 months. After trying some alternative approaches with my doctor, considering surgery, she decided to put me on a daily low dose antibiotic; Macrodantin. It has been over three plus months and it works. I honestly am not comfortable taking a daily antiobiotic but I am far more uncomfortable having a UTI. No side effects for me."


"After three trips to ER with hypertensive crisis and unbelievable side effects from other medicines, my Dr found Clonidine 0.1mg controlled night time spiking. I take Losartan 100 mg in the morning and Clonidine at night. In between I am good. However headaches, where the skull itches and throbs are interrupting my life and I never get headaches! Not even with the hypertensive crisis."


"I am 27 and have never been on BC. No kids. I decided to try BC. I didn't want to try pills because I hate the "trial and error" part of it and I am terrified of acne or weight gain and also I'm just not responsible enough to take it daily. I read sooo many mixed reviews about Mirena but I figured, what the hell, let's try. I love that the hormones are IN your uterus and not in your blood stream so minimal effects on mood. Your mood swings are in your head. No appetite change, no more acne than usual.
INSERTION: I was soo scared of the pain I read about. I have a LOW tolerance. I took two Advil an hour before hand and my Doctor told me when the cramps were coming. You won't cry, you won't faint. 6/10 on cramp pain, lasted 5 mins. RECOMMEND!"


"Horrible, bitter taste. Lingers for hours then continues to drip down your throat and continues giving you a horrible awful taste. Did nothing for my nasal allergies, except a 10 min clear nasal way, but the taste didn't make this worth it."


"Unbelievable. Given me my life back. At the risk of being irresponsible, this is almost a miracle drug."


"Be prepared for a "mental health day". My first 240mg dose wiped me out for a full 24 hours. I was dizzy and just plain off. Sitting to standing was a crash and burn experiment. It passed quickly and since 2nd day was okay."


"I have been taking Horizant for about a week now and my RLS has gotten significantly worse.  I am up all night walking around, stretching and massaging my legs trying to get them to stop the need to move.  This medication has not worked for me and I am hoping to get in contact with my doctor ASAP to change my medication to something that works and not makes it worse."


"I have pretty bad anxiety, with some depression. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I feel like my life is falling apart, and it feels so real. When I take my lexapro, I feel so much better. It's just a baseline, it doesn't MAKE me happy, it just allows me to feel like a normal human. I'm most myself when I take my medicine because I can focus on things outside of my own stress and fears. It can make you a little nauseous at first, and I experience some insomnia the first few weeks, but it goes away. SO worth it."


"I had to go to the ER at 3am with intense pain on my right side. A cat scan revealed a kidney stone. They gave me 2 injections of Dilaudid without any pain relief whatsoever. When they found out I had a kidney stone they gave me Toradol IV and within 15-20 minutes I finally got some relief. I was overjoyed!"


"Tramadol works as expected. It does just enough so I can remain functional without stepping up to stronger painkillers. Tramadol only works for me if I take the doses consistently. When I first started taking Tramadol it took about a week for the medicine to be fully effective."


"I have had severe Panic Disorder and Anxiety since I was 18. I am now many years older and still have a lot of problems with it. I was prescribed Hydroxyzine and paxil recently. I take 25 mg twice a day as needed and overall, I would say they do cut the edge off and allow me to escape the fight or flight feeling of complete panic. The tired laggy drained feeling is a definite negative although I will take that over a trip to the ER anyday. Utimately I think other medications are far superior in truly calming the symptoms of Anxiety, actually calming the mind as well as the body. Hydroxyzine usually seems to just make you sleepy and kind of sleep the fear away, whereas other medications like Benzo's calm you completely, without the lag."


"Had been on Zantac for years, which had controlled my reflux.  Then 3 times in 9 months I vomited for over a week, unstoppable, hospitalized for a week each of 1st two times.  No apparent reasons; intense testing all negative.  Third time, my gastroenterologist decided to try Dexilant just to see.  The vomiting stopped in less than 24 hours, preventing hospitalization.  Now I switch back to Zantac 2-3 months after each incident, but when 24 hours vomiting recurs, I instantly return to Dexilant for a couple of more months. Haven't been hospitalized in almost 5 years. Expensive, but worth every penny."


"Have had psoriasis for 30 years I had a bad episode of planter fasciitis then the psoriasis affected my feet and lower legs really bad. So after fighting for three months finally got 80 percent paid by humira and it must go thru your insurance on the medical side and my Jehovah's got the co pay I am lucky. After a few months I am almost completely healed. Nothing but a big round, looks like a burn spot. No creams no lotions and potions."


"Zyrtec knocks me out. Period. I took a pill at noon and by 2:00 pm I lay down virtually passed out. I slept for two hours straight. In the middle of the day. When I awoke I could barely function. Brain fog, lethargy, no energy. To tell the truth, I was so spaced out for so long that I couldn't tell if helped my sinus condition or not. I wouldn't dream of taking it if I had to drive. It would make a great sleeping pill."


"After being hospitalized for 6 weeks and on other mag-antibiotics, I am so pleased to report that after 3-4 days on the Ceftin, I finally could stop going through a 200 count box of tissues EVERY day and could actually breathe through my nose most of the time. My ENT Doctor prescribed Ceftin for 17 days. I've been on it now for 7 days. I have a severely depressed immune system due to MDS. We want to avoid surgery at all costs. I am hoping and praying the relief continues. I am also on Astepro nasal spray. Hoping for no or minimal side effects, which is always a concern. So far, so good. Will try and further evaluate at end of regimen. I hope this helps someone else."


"I am a 52 year old male with bad fungus for years. Finally got sick of it and wanted to do something about it. Just finished 12 week treatment. Do see improvement but not all gone. Small toes look good but big toes have a way to go. Hopefully will continue to get better. Weird taste in mouth time to time. Stomach issues periodically. Stayed away from alcohol for full 12 weeks. Liver function tests a couple of times with no issues.  Not the best of experience but not the worst either. Grin and bear it."


"When I was around 17 I started having severe stomach pain and reflux. I went through multiple test and many medications that did not stop the reflux nor the pain. I got to the point I was unable to eat anything without difficulty. I finally went to a GI specialist that found I had a condition that caused by a virus in my system that had caused my white cell to attack my stomach and ended up eating the nerve endings in my stomach and that was causing severe GERD. He placed me on Dexilant and this helped to control the pain and the reflux so I was able to start living a normal life for a 18 year old going off to college. My mother had to fight with insurance many times to have it covered and even now they still threaten to stop. Miracle drug."


"Limited improvement after 6 months, developed bad rash and MD refused to continue medication."


"By far the worst drug ever made. This drug is a synthetic which is why no wonder it does not work. I've been sick for 9 days but been on this for 7 days taking it twice a day religiously. Went into the urgent care bc my ear was hurting for the 1st time in my life, my throat was swollen & hurts so much to even barely even swallow my own spit, miragraine, dizzy, coughing, running nose, & my body so weak I had trouble walking. After 7 days being on it's not working. Caused my other ear after 2 days to hurt. Both ears are so muffed I can't hear a thing.  Now have to take the z-pack I normally take when I'm sick that she called in. FYI when u tell a doctor what works for u do not settle for what they think u should take. Know ur body!!"


"Hives. Saw weird things and paranoia."


"I've had the Nexplanon for about 3 months and I LOVE it. I still have my period but it only lasts about 3 days. I don't have mood swings, weight gain, etc. The only thing that happened to me was that my arm was bruised for like 4 days after I first got it implanted. Sometimes I even forget about it because it just doesn't cause me any problems. I love it so much that I talked my roommate into getting it and as far as I'm concerned, she doesn't have any problems with it either. I guess it just effects everybody's body differently."


"Nucynta has worked very well for all my aches and pain, from the most severe to those I didn't even know I had.  At first, it did make me groggy which was a problem, but I kept taking it anyway because it did take away most of my pain.  After a couple of months of use, it takes away my pain, just like it did at the beginning, but I no longer feel sleepy.  I feel energetic, happier and am able very active because I hardly feel any pain.  I highly recommend it, but you do have to give it a chance because once your body adapts to it, the adverse effects far outweigh the benefits."


"I have been on this medication for a few months now, for the second time. Both times I have developed severe headaches, dizziness, confusion, and nauseous. It takes off some water weight but I'm still fairly swollen and this time my blood pressure has increased. Just learned that it can affect blood sugar levels. I don't think I will be taking this medication again."


"Imitrex shot is a very effective drug for me. Have had migraines for decades and was introduced to imitrex after 2 years of having blinding aura then 2 days of suffering in a dark room. Imitrex shot works within minutes. No pain killer needed. Once I give myself the shot, I lay down for about an hour. Only issues are brief fatigue, nausea for a few minutes and a strange prickly sensation in the top of my head which goes away quickly."


"While paroxetine tended to keep my depression at bay; I wasn't functioning at a good level emotionally.
Was on 20mg for approximately 4years, then 40mg for 3 months. When dosage was upped, I had major depressive episode (pretty much stayed in bed for 3 weeks) and realized that I had experiencing basically a "flat aspect" for quite some time. Also gained 20 lbs (105 to 125) in the 3 months on the 40mg. Horrible brain zaps if I missed a dose (20 or 40). Went back to 20mg for a week and have switched to Effexor (37.5/7days, then will be on 75mg daily).
Mild zings and zaps for past few days as I've switched to the Effexor; was expecting a MUCH more horrendous transition as my zaps were extremely strong in the past."


"I have taken Imitrex ever since it came out in the 90s. It works and I'll be forever grateful that it does. If you, like me, know what it was like to get migraines before Imitrex came out, you'll understand why I sing its praise."


"I've had a spinal fusion on L3 L4 almost two years ago. I'm now on the wait for a disography because of my severe back pain which is getting worse over time I've been on fentanyl 100mcg for almost 4 years, the patches are having very little effect and am waiting to see my doctor to increase the dose. It has helped me reading about what other people are going through and that I'm not on my own with symptoms like profuse sweating and a dry mouth. I have no quality of life at the minute and hope by increasing my dosage I will be able to move around a bit more. I'm 44 years old, also has anybody else suffered with frequent bruising on the scar area of the operation. I'm topping my fentanyl up with tramadol."


"Worked within one week. Took years ago, stopped, recently placed back on it, 75mg with Lamictal 100mg. Life back to 75% normal."


"This medicine is very effective. It not only suppressed my cough, but was a very effective expectorant. It loosened up my very tight feeling chest - an outcome the other OTC medications failed to provide. One caution:  I took a dose when I got up one morning, on an empty stomach, and then went out to do an hours worth of yard work. Came in and had a big glass of cold grape juice. Within 10 minutes I vomited the whole lot out. Felt better after a bit, though."


"After 6 hours of diarrhea I thought it was over, but 3 1/2 days later, my innards are still grumbling.  I called the Mfg and their RN said the side effects can last for 4 or more days, even tho the med is no longer working at 32 to 40 hours.  I went to my primary today and he said it's a horrible medicine and he wished I'd asked before taking it.

BM's are firm again, but my intestines are pushing food through pretty quickly.  This should be off the market!"


"I tried fetzima for a week going from 20mg to 40mg. I had the worst headaches, chills, and GI problems. I like to exercise and I was afraid I was going to pass out from being so light headed. I stopped taking it, but then changed my mind a month later and went back on. Again, the same side effects even staying on the 20mg. Today will be my last day. I can't live in the bathroom."


"For many many years I have been dealing with hay fever allergies in spring and fall.  My nose is always clogged.  Sudafed and Allegra D became a normal routine for me.  Dr gave me a trial of this.  Loved it, the only side affect was that I could breath through my nose which is not normal for me in my life.  I actually felt more active but may be just a side affect from being able to breath through my nose.  They only get 9 of 10 because it is expensive, $180 without insurance, $80 with coupon card.  Insurance is fighting me with pre-authorization."


"Results were astonishing, slight facial flushing the only side effect noted. Also, seems to have helped with lower leg cramping, due to back surgery-nerve damage. No more cramping with ejaculation. Have had difficulty for 5-6 years, but not anymore, and my wife is even more impressed than I am. Thanks..(retired R.N.)"


"I have been taking VOLTAREN for about two weeks now. I have found that the medicine works very well. What an advantage to be able to apply the gel right to the affected area, relief comes rather fast.

It doesn't last as long as I would like, but when you are in pain, any relief is welcome. Used in conjunction with my other medicines it has helped me to put together a medication regime that helps me to live with this condition.

If you have tried oral medicines with negative side effects, please give VOLTAREN a try. I hope you find the relief that I have."


"This review is based on my own experiences and my opinion doesn't reflect Lexapro (Escitalopram). I found Lexapro's starting side effects to be mild and tolerable - I experienced dizziness, nausea, dry mouth and sexual dysfunction. However, like I said they were mild and tolerable and they subsided after a few days. I experienced no worsening of my depressive or anxiety symptoms. As I just mentioned I suffer from depression and anxiety and although I didn't find Lexapro to be a "miracle pill" that fully cured me of my ailment's but it did significantly alleviate them to mild and tolerable levels. Overall for me Lexapro was an easy antidepressant to start and it has been effective in treating my depression and anxiety."


"I have been on Victoza for six days now. This is great, way better than Byetta. I had neck surgery and over the past three years, I have received steroid injections and it made me a borderline diabetic. My sugars were fluctuating like a roller coaster until I got on Victoza, now it is great. My blood sugar in the morning is like 80 to 85, and after eating like 115, 120. I will post in a couple weeks."


"I started Belviq on April 16th at 213lbs. As of today I am 203lbs! 10lbs in 2 weeks! I couldn't be happier. My blood sugars are much better and the weight loss is simply amazing. Can't wait to see under 200. I'll start working out once I get into the 190's. I know this medicine doesn't work for everyone, and I too was skeptical. I also am still on my 15 day trial supply as I only take one pill a day. I find that I can't eat nearly as much as I used to. The smallest meal, feels like a Thanksgiving feast to me. Very thankful my Dr. recommended this medication."


"I was very skeptical of the IUD, I have heard horror stories and read many negatives reviews. My advice is, do not listen to all the negative comments, everyone is different and our bodies adjust differently. I spoke to my doctor about getting an IUD because I battled with the pill for too long, between weight gain and an emotional roller coaster I was just fed up so we went with the Skyla. The procedure was painful but the pain lasted for maybe 5 mins. I did take Ibuprofen an hour before which I am sure helped. They said I would bleed for about 1 - 2 weeks but my bleeding stopped the next day. Its been a week and I am satisfied. I do feel bloated but that is my only side affect. I will post a month follow up, I hope this is helpful."


"Taking it for many years with no adverse effects. It's been highly effective."


"Day 2 on chantix, my urge to smoke has decreased several fold. Smoke all of a sudden start to taste stale and unbearable. I also smoke marijuana so the taste of the green is still there !!
Smoked since high school and now I'm 27 I'm half a pack a day kinda person. I did however experience a decrease in energy taking this pill, but however its only been 2 days. Will update in a week."


"I had been using Quinine Sulphate capsules for many years for severe leg cramps at night.  I did not take a capsule every day but only when I had been on my feet all day and sometimes after a long day of golf or walking in heeled shoes.  My doctor felt I was responsible enough to give me a bottle of 100 pills.  This often lasted me well into two years or so.  I have had leg cramps once again often since I was unable to purchase these capsules any longer.   If they are again available I will be  really content to once again be able to rid myself of severe cramps at least most of the time if I think of the circumstances of my day."


"It is the most effective pain reliever there is."


"I tested positive in 1993, I actually thought I had a year or two left too live. I went without meds almost twenty (20) years. I started Complera in 2013. I'm undetectable and my cd-4 is now close too 700 up from 420. I still smoke cigarettes and drink socially. I haven't had any side effects. I'm 58 years old and African American, even at this age my physical stamina is good (basketball and tennis). Complera is the only meds I've taken and up too now I'm pleased with the results.And by the way, l take my Complera in the mornings with breakfast. When it's time too go too sleep at night, I sleep like a baby..Good luck guys and best wishes....Peace!"


"Soma is a non-narcotic that allieviates pain and allows me to fall asleep. I can't take narcotics because I'm in drug court and that's just not allowed. I like Soma and take it twice a day as ordered."


"Most of the time this works wonders. "


"Within few days of taking the pill my acne cleared up.  On the other hand I have gained 4 pounds out of nowhere.  Feel bloated, nauseated.  Is a shame that side effects are so undesirable since it does work for my acne."


"I have very extreme rapid cycling bi-polar disorder, it had become much worse in the last 6 months and I had become extremely irritable. I had just about all of the side effects that came with this medicine but I knew it was helping me. I truly needed the treatment and for my children would see this through. After a month or two all of the horrible side effects were gone. This medicine was a miracle for me, saved me, and my marriage. It allowed me to step back and realize the problem in my life was me and I needed to change and this medication brought me back to my old self. I was in denial of how sick I had become until I took this medication and became normal again."


"I've had many problems in the past with keeping my hormone levels normal. After switching to this pill, my levels have evened out. However, I have noticed that when I do have my cycle (which is rare) I become extremely nauseated and feel absolutely sick. Everyone reacts differently but if you're going to try this pill, just know if you're like me there's a possibility of a lot of debilitating nausea and chances of fever."


"Wow, was prescribed this for back issues that were apparently muscular in nature, but I was convinced was an actual spinal issue. The pain in my back was so bad.
At the same time, my doc's were trying in vain to find out what was causing chronic diarrhea for the past 1-2 years, with no luck.
Once I started on Skelaxin, not only has my back improved incredibly, all of a sudden, for the first time in a very long time, the diarrhea is gone as well! Love this medicine. Take it before bed, sleep great and wake up very clearheaded, and not in pain!"


"This antibiotic makes me extremely sick to my stomach, caused blurred vision and makes me extremely irritable.  If you do take this medication please eat a lot of food before taking.  "


"I had this implanted Jan2015. The first year it made me moody, depressed, and my sex drive plummeted! Not good because that has effected my marriage! My cycles have been longer, light enough to only need a liner or thin pad. But lately they have been heavier wear I needed a tampon. Now they are getting longer. So my moods, depression and sex drive have gotten better but I can't have sex as much now because my cycle is running too long. I started Jan 1st and I'm still bleeding, 17 days later! I'm thinking of having it removed for this reason! I like the fact I don't have to worry about getting pregnant for 3 years, and I don't have to fool with it monthly or remember to take a pill..."


"I said I would do this if it worked and it did. When I took plan B, it was a day after my period had ended and I knew I was going to be fertile. I took it about 10 hours later and I didn't feel any symptoms. I got my period again 7 days later. I normally have cramps and all that but it was just huge clots and heavy for 5 days, which is shorter than my period. I didn't know if that counted as my real period since it was 3 weeks early, but I got a second period when my normal period was due, only 2 days late. I was so nervous the whole time. I had tender breasts, I was nauseous and I had cramps a week before my period, but worse than they normally are. My second period after that was 3 days late. Plan b messed up your body a ton! Just pray!!"


"It really works and minimal side effects with me. I love it. "


"This was the first birth control I have been on and I love it. I have been on it for 6 months now and the only side effect I have had was a little bit of weight gain. It is only 7 lbs and I would bet quite a bit that it is all in my breasts. I went from a 34D to a 34DDD. Other than that, I have had no other side effects. My fiance and I both agree that my sex drive has increased tremendously since I started taking Sprintec. This was just how it affected me."


"I will never buy this product AGAIN.  I could not figure out how to get the ridiculously-designed pump to WORK.  Most nasal sprays have a simple screw cap.  Not this one.  Thew it in the GARBAGE.  Worst waste of money in a long time."


"This medication made my depression worse. I couldn’t even get out of bed to take care of my little one and when I did get out of bed I would just lay on the couch like a zombie. I barely ate and gained 20 pounds. I’ve been on this for 3 months now and my doctor won’t take me off of it. It’s ruining my life and my relationship with my family"


"Over three years ago I went to the doctor because I was getting severely ill every morning, the doctor diagnosed me with GERD and prescribed this for me. It worked great and I never had any symptoms unless I forgot to take it. Now, three years later it seems to have stopped working for me. I'm back to getting ill every morning with stomach pains.

I gave it a 7 out of 10 for this reason. It worked great for me for so long but now my doctors are trying to find another solution."


"I experienced several side effects, including vision change, hoarseness, insomnia, terrible dry mouth, headaches (Migraine) to name a few, but my blood pressure did go to normal. I had to try something else."


"I only been taking Trazodone for a week but it has been a God send. I have been taking Lunesta for a few years and was doing and saying things I didn't remember, and still was up every 2 or 3 hours. For the past week I have been sleeping the night through, this weekend I actually slept until 7:30am. Since it has only been a week I did not give it a 10,  but if things keep up this well it will be a 10 next week."


"HATED IT! I have anxiety and I thought this would be great for me until I tried it and I took a pill in the morning, later that night at 1 a.m I woke up with the most awful panic attack in my life.  I was scared, I was freaking out about my baby for no reason, I cried for hours and I didn't know what I was doing and I was fighting my thoughts in my head. Luckily my husband stayed up with me as I cried myself to sleep for 3 hours shaking and all my muscles were completely tense.  Celexa heightened my anxiety And made me suicidal. DO NOT TAKE CELEXA!"


"I took this medication because I was diagnosed h1n1 type a via swab in nose. I tried to heL my self with homeopathic medicine unfortunately it did not work. I was prescribed tama flu in after the 2 pill day 2 I felt 75 percent better. No side affects for me so far and my body is super sensitive to meds. Glad I started taken this on day 3. It's very pricey but I'd rather pay that then feel as bad as I did."


"I am finishing up a six-week cycle of Rifampin in 6 days and all I have to say is about 2 weeks into the cycle I started to develop a severe leg pain in my achilles tendon area that has progressively gotten worse so bad I have had thoughts of calling 911 in the middle of the night due to the severe 10/10  pain has anyone else experienced pain in their foot leg or even arms and hands while taking Rifampin?"


"I took it and I just feel awful pain and like my back is in pain and I just wanted to throw up but the pain was so intense I couldn't breathe."


"I've been on The Depo for about 4 months now. I got on it to stop my period but I've had non stop bleeding the whole time! I asked my doctor if there was anything she could do and she said to wait it out. I searched about bleeding on the shot and tons of people said they bleed continuously the whole time they were on and some said once they stopped the shot the bleeding didn't stop. I also am breaking out in places I normally don't like in my neck line and forehead. I'm not getting the shot again if the bleeding doesn't stop."


"Had this put in February 2016 having it removed next month.  My period comes twice a month for 7 days.  I've always suffered from migraines this just makes me have them more often.  No regularity to when the cycle starts.  It's comes on for a week then off for 3 days then on another 5 days, then off for almost 3weeks, then comes back again super heavy. I can't deal with the irregularities of it. While I was on the Depoprovera for 20+ yrs I never had a cycle & it was great. I wanted a birth control with no maintenance & this was suggested. Also I've noticed no libido. I don't crave it anymore & when I do have intercourse it doesn't feel the same like I'm trying too hard to get excited. Having it removed & going back to what works for me."


"I had Mirena placed after the birth of my second son and have had it almost two years. The first year was fantastic, I had little or no bleeding at all. Now, I have longer, heavier periods; excessive moodiness; and bleeding between supposed regular cycles. I think it may be time to remove it."


"I was experiencing mild acne on my face. The doctor prescribed me Duac gel and it's completely cleared up my skin."


"My husbands Dr prescribed  100 mg of Viagra and we paid $230 for 5 pills. Last night was the second time my husband   took it and for the second time it did not work !! He is diabetic and uses an insulin pump we don't know if that has any bearing on the Viagra. Is this common?"


"It works like magic. I was suffering for 4 days. Once I applied the cream the pain was gone in 12 hrs."


"I have taken 2 other kinds of birth control besides this, and this one has been my favorite. I was afraid I would have bad side affects like everyone else, but I had none! I really enjoy it because my face is pretty clear, I have lost some weight, and my insurance covers it. I also get it sent to me in the mail every 3 months. :)"


"I've tried A LOT of cholesterol-lowering meds, but can't usually tolerate them for more than a month. Unfortunately, Triplix gave me the same side effects--dizziness, digestive miseries, etc. It's probably a wonderful drug for a lot of people, just not for me. I don't know if it made a difference in my cholesterol levels."


"I love this birth control, because I hate having my period. I have been on this pill for three years already and they are the best."


"I was put on half a mg for a week, then titrated to 1 mg. Everything was cool until about the 3rd or 4th wk I started feeling overhwelmed and ridiculously tired to where I couldn't keep my eyes open. Then it progrogressed to full blown anxiety in my POV. I never thought it could be rexulti until I finally saw my doc who took me off straight away after seeing how anxious I was. I can hardly deal with my son or life. He sadly has to calm himself as noise and lots of energy around me exascerbate my anxiety. I've been completely off for a day but I'm wondering how long it will be before I'm not anxious. I hope not the 2-4 weeks my doc said. I can't keep living with all this anxiety and tiredness and wanting to cry all the time."


"15 years of trying different medications to help me cope with my anxiety disorders. Unfortunately for me as the drug addict I once was, has made it almost impossible to get prescribed lorazepam. Even though lorazepam is not a drug I've ever abused, it still is extremely difficult to obtain a prescription. I tell you that nothing is impossible. This medication alone, has saved my life. It's effects are strangely different than that of other benzodiazepines. My opinion, Just take RX exactly as prescribed by your Dr. and utilize coping skills such as DBT, to further your success in managing/coping with a crippling disorder such as anxiety. Lorazepam is highly effective, instant reduction in anxious thoughts/feelings/emotions, and is proven."


"I have been on yaz for about a year. I like it and have not had any major problems. I have short, light periods and my acne has decreased. The only bad thing is that it is expensive."


"I could not function in my work environment without this drug. I have severe performance anxiety. I am not able to give talks, I'm not good in groups, and am very anxious when put in the spot light. I take 40 mg of propanolol and I am able to function. Without this medication, I would have quit my career and sink deep into depression. Without this medication, I would shake uncontrollably, feel numb with fear and embarrassment, and feel completely out of control."


"I am literally on this medication right now. I got a dose through my IV and yes at first it was intense and made me very loopy and hot. But now I am just must more relaxed. This is my fourth baby. I'm not quite full term so they used this to see if I could relax enough for contractions to stop. They haven't and I can still feel them but it's much more bearable now. I didn't have this with any of my other deliveries just the epi.
Everyone reacts differently to different medicine and doses, so I don't think that basing what is right for you off of other people's experiences is a good idea."


"I have had the Nexplanon for about 3 months now and it is great. No pregnancies even after direct ejaculation. The only down side is the constant spotting. Its annoying like I almost never get to have sex. But other than that great!"


"I was put on Avelox after Augmentum didn't work over a period of time and my symptoms were worsening.  I had relief within twenty four hours.  I have found that Biaxin XL works well too if it is prescribed immediately instead of wasting time with Augmentin or Ceftin. Avelox is a big gun though, and should really only be used if other antibiotics fail."


"I have been on this medicine for 5 days and it has absolutely turned my life around...literally. I was trying Tegretol and it worked for my Trigeminal/Occipital neuralgia but made me off balance, slur my words even on a low dose. The doctor gave me this based on those debilitating side effects and I have almost no side effects so far and almost no pain! So hoping it will continue to work like this!"


"It has been day 8 now and I have had NO Cigarettes, you also have to put your mind to it that you really want to quit. I have had some vivid dreams but no nightmares. No other major bad symptoms that I have noticed at this point. I feel so much better already and plan to quit forever! I am 56 yrs young."


"Hi,
I have used Subutex for two years for pain and it has helped me quite a lot. I broke my upper/lower jaw when I was 15 and had arthritis in my neck and back since I was a young child. For years the pain doctors treated me with procedures and many narcotic pain medications which only relieved my pain at first, but after using It for years I had no life. My life was dependent on the pills, I lived in fear of withdrawal. I also felt extremely sick, could hardly get out of bed, and developed tons of other issues. After being off them for years, my Dr. Put me on Subutex for pain. It helps me quite well, few side effects. I would like to stop one day, terribly my young brother died while withdrawing this drug, but for now it has saved me"


"I took this medication for anxiety, bc it was recommended by my doctor and therapist. I also read some reviews of how well it did for others. However, I didnt have a good experience at all. I only took the medicine for 3 days, and my anxiety increased exponentially. The 1st day I experienced migraines, dizziness, increased heartrate, ringing in ears, and nearly all other side effects. The second day I felt frantic and wanted to crawl on the walls. I also woke from panic and fear in the middle of the night. On day 3, I woke up angry like the Hulk, violent like. The side effects continued to get worse through the morning- flashes of heat, dizziness, further increased heart rate, panicked feelings, on & on. I DO NOT suggest this for those w/ anxiety"


"I switched to Cryselle after a terrible experience starting birth control with Junel. On that, I bled without break for months. So Cryselle seemed like a God-send when the bleeding stopped and I had no spotting between periods. Minimal side effects besides increased acne. My skin was fine before, but I've been on this pill for just under a year now and in recent months have developed horrible, painful cystic acne. I am looking into a new pill now."


"Works as it says. Great med."


"My 6 year old son was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 4 years old. We have tried several different medicines. He has been on Metadate for almost two months and it's been like a miracle drug. He is very pleasant to be around now. He takes 20mgs in the morning and it has not seemed to affect his appetite or his sleep. He is doing much better in school. The teacher said she knew he knew the info but getting it out of him was like pulling teeth before. Now he is doing exactly what she wants him to do."


"I'm a 64 year old male with degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine. I was prescribed 4x50mg tramadol daily as needed for one month followed by one daily as needed long term.  I never needed more than a couple and now usually take none. I also have gout, now completely pain free due to allopurinol. I'd compare my neck pain as a 5 or 6 compared to my gout pain when it was untreated as 10.
When I do have a 6/10 level pain tramadol takes it down to a 1 or even 0 with no side effects for me at all.
When my pain is 2 or 3 I never take medicines because I don't want to get habituated.
For my less than severe pain tramadol seems perfect."


"I have been prescribed this drug - 100mg 3x per day for a dry cough. The doctor has indicated that this ONLY works for a dry cough(no phlem) and so far this has worked for me.  Typically I get this type of cough after a bad cold, and there is NOTHING that can stop it without chugging water.  The solution is to take this drug as indicated, suck on Cepacol and chug water.  The combination of the three work for me."


"took ella one 90 hours after unprotected sex, he withdrew but I was still thinking I should take something, took with food, no sickness, but for weeks, felt lower back pain , and lower pelvic pain, cramps, and tender breasts. Also acid reflux occasionally which I never get. Then of course my period did not come, of course I started panicking and googling everything under the sun. Today negative pregnancy test, got period 3 hours later ..lol... this pill works it just makes your period late. I would use it again."


"My son started zanatane 5 months ago after trying EVERYTHING  else. This is the ONLY thing that has cleared his skin (took almost 5 months) His Dr started him off w/ 20 mg twice a day..now he is taking 60 MG twice a day.  To those complaining about side effects...his Dr stated he must take this w/high fat foods...peanuts, peanut butter, bacon, etc.(2 help absorb the med)  His 1st 2 blood tests came back a little high so she did not up his dosage. He ate more fat when taking the pills (few scoops pb)& now on higher dose his counts are good.  Do not listen 2 scary stories about this med.  His Dr said she has been prescribing for 12 yes & NEVER had a bad side effect reported (other than dry skin, lips). Wish he went on this sooner (18 yrsold)"


"I got switched to this medicine after tapering off Effexor. It was tough at first, but I am now feeling more like myself than I have in years. Thank you cymbalta"


"I'm 17 years old and got started on birth control because my periods were 9 days long with severe side effects. I first went on the shot called Depo-Provera, that was the worst experience of my life. I was having my periods every single day. The doctors told me it was normal and it would regulate after my third shot; however, the 4th shot came and same issues with no end in sight. Terrible cramps, headache, even vomiting. When my doctor switched me over to Loestrin I had instant results. My period is now regulated to a 4 day cycle once a month. I do have cramps as a side effect, but they have gotten much better. Before Loestrin I would curl up in a ball and cry from the severity of the cramps. I would recommend this birth control to anyone."
