"I take two Lialda pills every morning..(1.2gm), Lialda helped my stomach pains and bleeding tremendously! I recommend to everyone! It took a good 2 months to really show a big difference but I am so happy I finally found something that helps. It has taken me years to finally find something. Also, Contact your doctor or Lialda because it%u2019s really expensive but you can get their coupon card and only pay $10 a month."


"It is SO important to get rid of ALL of your shoes and socks at about the 3 month mark of taking the prescription, when you are starting to see healthy toe nail growth, or it will keep coming back. Definitely worth the sacrifice!!"


"I find the smell of this medicine intolerable. If I wanted to wear a fragrance it certainly wouldn't be this.  I expected little or no odor but instead found that this stuff can't be washed off completely and the smell can now be found all over my house and continuously is wafting up from my skin and overwhelming my sense of smell.  Based on my experience I could now identify any male that is wearing this as it is like waving a banner that says "guess what fragrance I have on today?". I was on Androgel for 4  years and now my healthcare provider has only this 1 option for a testosterone gel. I really can't speak of its effectiveness yet but I will probably find another method to dispense the testosterone!"


"I got this implant in October 2015 which was about 10 months ago. Worst decision of my entire life! While it did its job by not getting me pregnant it has a ton of side effects. First my arm gets the extreme pains where the implant is at random times. When I got the thing I was around 210 and I had recently just lost 50 pounds and I was feeling great about myself. Well now I weigh 281 and I believe it is because when I got the implant I started to crave certain foods and they wouldn't go away until I had it. The third thing is it made me extremely moody all of the time. My family and I have and I have been evaluating my behavior and I get angry for no reason all of the time. Last thing my periods happen 2 a month and they last 7-10 days!"


"Read reviews on this site before I took the plunge. Cold is good; so is slice of lemon to suck on. I do not recommend the straw, as liquid is carried to the back of the tongue where all you can taste is foul. If you chug it, at least there is a slight bit of sweetish aftertaste. It worked fine, but I purposely did not eat much bulk for two days before the procedure. Nothing tasted good for about 24 hrs afterward. The cranberry juice and ginger ale they gave me after the procedure reminded me too much of the prep. You might be better off sticking to water in recovery."


"VERY PLEASED WITH RESULTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER MEDS.  I am seizure free.

By taking vitamin B12 I am no longer tired.

For 30 years my neuros treated me with wrong meds. I HAD EEG VIDEO MONITORING and they found my seizures were not in the frontal lobe."


"I was born with Spina Bifida L4-5 s1-2 along wt a myleomingeocole. My Birth issues were due to LowFolate. Through life I have struggled wt Depression always being told it was due to the Spina Bifida. I fought through a major depression my senior year in college. When I became employed following college and had insurance I sought counseling & medication taking imipramine. When Prozac became available I began it. After a decline in my health from a stoke at 33 My depression became worse requiring hospitalization. Five years ago I returned to my hometown & sought medical care from my high school friend. He tested me for L methyofolate deficiency. I was deficient he put me on Deplin 15mg wt Zoloft 100mg. I am finally emotionally healthy"


"An excellent pain reliever. I did experience a few side effects though. I became irritable and would sometimes hear sounds I wasn't sure of. This drug has a high risk of dependency, but it can be controlled. To me, the side effects are worth it due to the great pain relief it provides."


"Fiorinal works on my headaches when nothing else would.  I have not noticed any side effects.  Recommend it highly for those pesky tension headaches"


"I was prescribed Fioricet for a head injury after Norco made me nauseous. No nausea with Fioricet.  It does make me dizzy and disoriented but helps with the pain."


"After having tendonitis surgery on my elbow I ended up with a nerve disorder and fibromyalgia. I just finished school and was starting my career when all of this happened so I also am having depression and anxiety issues. My doctor put me on Neurontin and Effexor.  Effexor was not doing much for any of my symptons, so they just switched me to Cymbalta last week. They had me take 30mg for the first few days then bumped it to 60mg.  So far I feel like a zombie.. so tired.. I tried taking it in the morning but I was extemely tired, so I now take it at night.  I sleep like a log! "


"I have only just started this product but I'm in love! I usually don't leave reviews but this felt necessary- DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE NORMAL SKIN OR LITTLE ACNE. This product is clearly meant for us more oily skin types, and I can honestly say it's worked like a dream. Yes, my skin has become a little more dry and sensitive, but that's to be expected. It cleared up my super bad breakout in about a week and now I'm working on getting rid of my blackheads and the scars. I definitely recommend this product, and be sure to moisturize when using!!"


"I've been on Seroquel for 6 yrs and have had nightmares the whole time.  I switched to Saphris 4 days ago, 5 mg morning and night plus 112.5 mg Effexor.  I'm amazed at waking up early in the morning after 8 hrs sleep on Saphris where I've been sleeping 12 hrs a night previously on Seroquel then still a zombie for the next 3 hrs.

The morning dose sedated me so I'm changing to 10mg at night and also adding lamotrigine this week.  I haven't felt this good in many years, but I'm not elevated

I have BP 1 and live in Australia.  As I'm on disability, all of my medications only cost $6.20 each as its subsidised by the govt. I feel very sad for everyone in the USA with chronic illnesses.  It's just not fair."


"I've never taken medication for my symptoms before. This medication makes me feel loopy sometimes and it seems like my eyes fly back for a second sometimes. It helps within a few minutes of feeling anxiety or really depressed. It has so far also made the voices sound more distant."


"I get 10 mg (not cr) they work good most of the time. I sleep 6 hrs. With no side effects! Unless I take 2 then I am fuzzy until I take a hot shower."


"Xanax is the best anxiety medication that I have taken over the past several years. I have been prescribed at least ten or more different medicines and some work to an extent but none are near as effective than Xanax. Xanax has truly been a lifesaver (hands down) for my anxiety and panic attacks."


"I had a jagged 3-4mm stone in my right kidney for months. It wasn't causing much pain, but it was causing regular bleeding. I gave up on it passing on its own and finally went to the family Dr. expecting to hear that I would need a surgical procedure.  BUT, the Dr. put me on FloMax; and after just 10 days on this med I passed the stone with very little pain!  I regret waiting so long to get help with it.  The only side effect I had was the sexual dysfunction described, but it was so minimal it wasn't bothersome enough for me to stop taking the medicine.  And the side effect went away after stopping the medicine."


"a very good product. it works..shame that the company has jacked the price up so much that its no longer affordable...greed is a very bad thing"


"I have only been on Lexapro 10mg for 5 days, but already my anxiety is better. I am a 16 year old, 5'8 female, 280lbs. The side effects were pretty bad the first 3 days or so, nervousness, increased sweating, nausea, headaches, etc., but I'm definitely starting to feel better. One positive side effect is that my appetite has decreased dramatically. Sometimes I have to make myself eat, and I can't eat as much as before. Of all the side effects, I hope this one stays!"


"I have been taking TriNessa for about a year and a half now and I have now decided to quit taking it. I can admit that it is excellent in keeping one from becoming pregnant. But I think that the negatives overpower the positives. For one, it changed my personality. I have become very mean and over tempered. Also my sex drive has plummeted and I don't even want to be touched. My boyfriend and I used to have almost daily spontaneous sex and it was both physical and emotional. Now we have sex like once a week, and we both agree that afterwards we felt like it was too much of a task."


"Prescribed this for heart palpitations/tachycardia associated with extreme anxiety and panic attacks. Also had rather elevated blood pressure which I think runs in the family. Felt awful for weeks prior to being prescribed the medication, but once I started taking it things improved VERY quickly. Resting heart rate and blood pressure both down, no more palpitations, far less health anxiety. Doctor described it as having a "calming effect" and I definitely agree. No side effects to speak of thus far about 2 months in. 90mg immediate release once per day."


"I was experiencing discharge, itching and swelling for approximately 2 weeks and used OTC Monistat suppositories, to no avail.  I went to GYN for annual physical yesterday and mentioned symptoms.  She prescribed Diflucan 150mg tablet (1) and I took it on an empty stomach.  Within a couple of hours symptoms ceased and today I feel so much better without discharge or itching.  Best thing for me!!!!"


"This is VERY tricky to evaluate. My new doc raved about as it had helped her.
"They should pipe it right into the water supply!" She squealed.
Well...
I would rather be clear and sad, than in a zombie-twilight world.  20mg after 2 weeks and I am fed up.
Utterly impossible to climax and have an orgasm. And believe me-I tried!
2nd-My girlfriend noticed that I completely stopped playing and practicing guitar! And I am a pro.
It's just too dangerous of a mind drug, and perhaps only suitable in extreme situations like death of a family member.

Certainly not for just being in a rut, sadness or the blues. It will just zombie you out. Glad I experienced it. Time to move on with life. Without a brain fog chemical. Orgasms are a sign of life"


"A coworker of mine recommended I try Skyla after she heard I was looking for birth control method that was effective and had the least side effects. I booked my appointment at my doctors office and was told to take pain relievers before because I'd feel discomfort, we'll discomfort wasn't the proper word because the pain was so bad I cried after. I drove home normally but that night I had severe cramps and they continued for 2 weeks straight. I couldn't work out and just wanted to lay in bed from how bad the cramps were, I would have to breath in and out very deeply to feel some sort of relief. It has now been a month and I bleed almost every day (liner light) but it's manageable, I'm not sure if bleeding a month after is okay?"


"Only works sometimes with cramps and withdrawal.  I went back to using  colon cleanser."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 4 yrs ago. I had a total knee replacement done 4 months ago and was told I have degenerative joint disease. Due to those 2 medical problems the total knee replacement is taking FOREVER to heal, therefore I am in constant, extreme pain. I take 1 - 40 mg tablet of Oxycontin 3 x daily and 1 -10/325 mg tablet of Percocet 6 x daily. I can HONESTLY say that if I were not taking these medications the pain would be too intolerable for me to do at least half of the things that I HAVE to do on a daily basis. I still feel some pain, my pain level went from a 10 to a 3 when I take both medicines as prescribed. 2 thumbs up."


"I'm feeling pretty sick now. I'm extremely sensitive to medicines and am on only 1/2 of 37.5 mg pills. Correlation isn't causation but my acid reflux (and assorted stomach problems) have come back full force with the start of these medicines. The backs of my eyes hurt and I have a pounding headache right now with nausea. I have eating problems and this seems to have exacerbated them. My body is in starvation mode where I feel cold all the time, lethargic/tired, I don't feel hungry and that's not good because my eating disorders dietician would like me to eat to pull my body back to normal functioning. The only good thing is that my depression started to lessen when I got started with them but now, from suffering the side effects, I feel more depressed."


"Each person reacts differently to anti-depressants. This is input from both me and several other patients I have spoken to in the hospital and outpatient programs with similar accounts: Wellbutrin is a miracle drug for some people, but, especially if you are bipolar, you have to be extremely careful about the dosage. I've had severe depression symptoms for 10 years. After a month of starting, I didn't have what I would consider a moderate depressive episode for the next two months, and can now enjoy life again. But previously, I went on a dosage that was too high, and rapid cycled terribly. Communicate A LOT with your doctor. I DID have frustrating side effects, but they subsided. You can't just assume how a drug will work after two weeks."


"FINALLY! My whole life I've had a problem going number 2 so much so I would only go 2-3 times the entire month. These past few months however things took a turn for the worse. My poop became severely impacted. I would push and push for hours only to get a pea sized amount out. I couldn't sleep because I could feel the pain and pressure there.  It was bad. I tried liquid laxatives you drink and they did the trick but the second they wore off the constipation and pain was back. Then I heard about Miralax and had my fianc"


"Abilify has been sort of amazing for my depression, but I think it definitely causes weight gain...even on a very low dose.  This is very upsetting, so I am having to stop taking it unfortunately."


"Helps ease the kidney stone pain and relaxes you as the kidney stone passes out."


"I have been struggling with fibromyalgia for more than five years. Finally accepted my diagnoses almost 3 years ago. My doctor and I have been working together to establish a pain management program that works for me and still enables me to work and live a "normal" life. Baclofen is by far the best muscle relaxer I have used and true to my doctors recommendation, has the least side effects (dizziness, sedation, etc.). I am more than just pleased with this medicine. I am THRILLED because it helps to control the muscle spasms I cope with while allowing me to be an active participant in my life. After two years of taking it, I am taking 10mg four times a day."


"I chose the Paragard since it was hormone free and a long term birth control option. Insertion wasn't very painful, but I did bleed for 4 days afterwards. The first 6 months my periods were extremely painful and 7-8 days long. After 6 months the cramping wasn't as bad but the length of period remained. I've had it over a year and have noticed some extreme differences in my life. I feel fatigued often, have gained 10 lbs without a dietary change, my mood swings are crazy. I can't prove that Paragard is the cause of these, but I have a great reason to believe that. I am having it removed this week and I cannot wait."


"This has been a nightmare. I got the shot to ease pelvic pain my provider suspected was due to endometriosis. At first, I felt like I had the flu for a week or two. Almost exactly a month after getting the shot, I started getting a lot of spotting, and had to wear a pad constantly. After a week of spotting, it became a full-blown, heavy period, and my pelvic pain came back worse than ever before along with severe cramps, muscle aches, and even trouble using the bathroom because of the pain. The pain is far worse at night. I can't sleep. Ibuprofen and heat packs no longer help. It's been three weeks. My doctor isn't sure what to do, and others I've talked to said it took several months for the pain from the depo shot to go away. I'm in agony."


"I been on Mononessa for the past 2 years and have only stuck with it this long because it was the best I had yet to try (was extremely sick on Aviane and had heavy, long, unbearable periods with Ortho Tri-Cyclen) and it was free on my insurance. After 2 years my periods are still irregular, I experience recurring  headaches, and I'm constantly bloated and have gained 10 pounds. Not to mention moodiness, feeling foggy, and decreased libido. "


"I took lolo for two days. It made me feel deeply saddened over things I wouldn't usually be affected by, and very easily aggravated. However, my acne started to look clearer hours after taking it. I couldn't take it any longer because of how it made me feel. Without birth control I am very moody and prone to irritability and bad moods. I wouldn't recommend it for women with my mood type. I've had the best moods with the third and fourth gen bc (yaz and nuvaring), so it is a shame they are riskier for clots. I am 25 and have had a child, for reference. (I find my hormones have changed after giving birth 3 years ago.)"


"Even though reading the other reviews gave me so much hope, after just 1 week at 1.5 mg, the side effects are just too much for me. 12 hours after taking it, I feel like I've got stomach flu and vomit violently. Also since starting I feel lethargic, will suddenly fall asleep, and I'm an absolute grump to be around. Currently taking lithium and lamotrigine which can't seem to get a grip on the swings."


"21 y/o female, work in the medical field, severe anxiety for about 5 years now, always been hesitant about taking meds for fear of medication dependency. In the past year, my anxiety has gotten to the point where I am isolated & developing depression. I finally broke down and was prescribed Klonopin 0.5mg daily as needed. It takes the edge off and gives me a genuine good feeling while allowing me to keep a CLEAR head and keep my patients safe. I was marijuana dependent as a teen b/c it improved my moods the same way, so I see the potential for dependency here. I am seeing a therapist and intend on using this until I learn other ways to cope. It does help you to think positively so you can begin your recovery. Great short term drug."


"I suffer with endometriosis. Due to this the pain is brutal. I have tried most everything under the sun for relief. I highly recommend ADVIL LIQ-GELS, for fast relief with little stomach upset."


"After years of undiagnosed Crohns, RA, AS, MS and FMS (the short list), and finally osteo related compound and non-compound fractures throughout my whole skeleton from 5 years on methotrexate - I couldn't live without morphine. I use a combination of MS Contin (SR - 60mg/8hours) and Statex (full release for breakthrough pain). My Crohn's makes me sensitive to every bad side effect of all those 'great' multi-use medicines like gabapentin and lyrica. So I'm stuck with opiate-based medicines and without them, I couldn't walk. I sleep in a recliner because of bumps on my spine and fractures in my pelvis and walk with a rolling walker. I couldn't live with my pain. I wish more people understood."


"I had a pacemaker installed in December 2006 for a very slow heart rate but had constant Atrial fibrillation so the doctor started me on Sotalol in 2007.  I did not notice any side effects and have not had an atrial fibrillation attack since then. I no longer worry about my heart and it beats nice and steady.  For me it was a miracle!  My sister tried it for her heart flutters and could not tolerate it so I guess it would depend on your condition."


"Was really afraid to try these after reading all the awful side effects. However been on them for 3 months and although I haven't lost weight I'm not gaining either which for me is something totally new as I was either losing weight by extreme dieting or gaining weight like crazy, my weight was never stable. It's so nice to get weighed after a weekend away not to find I had gained 7lbs in
2 days. When I was in NYC before I started these meds I gained 10lbs in 5 days, I couldn't even fasten my jeans on the 2nd day. This became a depressing way of life for me. I suffer for no side effects either. My TSH was 4.5 and im TTC so im hoping to gets it down to under 2 to get pregnant. I miscarried 6 years ago and it looks
like my thyroid was to blame"


"I've been using Portia since 2011. I absolutely love it! Short and light periods and no cramps!"


"Cleocin prescribed for abscessed molar. 500mg 3x daily. Very effective without significant side effects."


"I switched to this pill about five months ago because my insurance no longer covered Minastrin. Although my periods are very light with no cramps, I don't recommend this pill at all. I am very active and workout almost every day. I have gained a solid 8 pounds from this pill ( I believe it is mostly water retention and maybe some fat). I am extremely emotional on it and even have chest cramps. Not to mention my acne has gotten worse. This pill is awful!! So many other brands out there that will do much better without these side effects."


"For the past year I have suffered pain in calf of leg which travels up theough thigh hips and back on walking it becomes extreme and I have to sit down, awaiting MRI scan on spine... physio say stenosis of spine and that I have a slight curve in spine... After reading reviews I decided to try these tabs I have only taken them for 2 nights ( 1 x 75mg cap) supposed to take 2 daily but I feel I cant wake up in mornings and have to force myself to get out of bed, for a couple hours after i still feel groggy and light headed throughout the day. I dont know whether to perservere with them, I have to say slight improvement with being able to walk with a little less pain. I live in Scotland so my prescription is free for this drug."


"It is a life saver for me."


"I absolutely hate this patch. I was on Ortho Evra for about 3 or 4 years before being switched to this. The first few months I had no side effects but now I am up at 2:45 in the morning to tell you how badly this sucks. So I put the patch back on after having it off for a week and then I get so sick that I throw up and i literally have to sleep on the bathroom floor. It is absolutely horrible so first thing in the morning I will be calling my doctor to see when I can get switched off this patch. I use to love the patch because it was so convenient for me but now I can't tolerate it."


"I took them as prescribed by doctor for a bad reaction i had to mosquito bites. Made no difference. I tried piriton and that made a difference."


"I am an Anesthetist and I happened to under go Strabismus (Squint surgery) Surgery. I was really worried about ocular block, anesthesia given around the eyes, about the prick around my orbit. I was panicking but when they infused propofol I really could not recollect my surgical agony. Just switch on and off. Excellent drug. Complete amnesia, no hangover, no cloudiness during recovery. It is really a smooth induction and maintenance drug. I love to give to my patient."


"I've been having terrible side effects from this pill so googled it and found these reviews which are exactly what I've been experiencing. I'm craving bad foods, gaining weight, my boobs are tremendously sore, I'm tired and I haven't had a period. I've been on many other birth controls that I had no side effects on so I will be switching back to Altavera ASAP!"


"Arthritis  - A true wonder drug. I've been using it for 10  years and it has allowed me to function an an optimum level. But the doctors are so wary and suspicious. I get only 40 pills for 3 months and suffer on days I cannot take it. I believe in relieving pain, and this narcotic drug will do it. Nothing else matches it."


"After my losing my first child, I soon started having these feelings like I was having a heart attack, chest pains, hand cramps, and could not breath.  After several trips to hospital, I was told it was a panic disorder.  That was thirty two years ago.  I was given Ativan to hold under my tongue, and I still use it until this day 3x 2mg daily as needed. I now have two grown sons, and two grandchildren but I do not think I could have made it without Ativan and great support group. I have no side effects just a calm, peaceful feeling."


"I was hit with severe pain on a Friday morning. Ended up in the emergency room with a 6mm kidney stone on my right side. I was given Morphine and Toradol thru IV. I didn't hurt as much Saturday. In Sunday the pain came back and I ended back in the ER. I ended up with an awful UTI with this kidney stone. This time I was prescribed an antibiotic and Flomax. I filled it Monday and took one immediately. My stomach felt a little weird. A little bloating occurred. I drank a lot of water with lemon and Gatorade. I eased  up on pain meds Tues only took my flomax.  Weds morning I took it early and went back to bed. I got up to pee and there it was at the bottom of toilet. Didn't hurt or feel it at all."


"A1C was 139-179 prior to taking Kazano. Our Company changed Medical Insurance to another company, At the time United Healthcare stated that my prior medicine Janumet was not covered under United Healthcare's plan. They put me on Kazano and bloood sugar and A1C went up to 340 and 11. Later found out that UNited has a investment in the company that makes Kazano.  I would stay away form both if possible."


"All my muscles and joints got stiff 2 weeks after taking it and I never went back to feeling normal, always stiff and achy."


"Macrobid did nothing to eliminate my UTI. It was a failure just like amoxicillian. I was a bit nauseous at first but nothing that affected me. I took it for ten days."


"I've been taking Mononessa for about 4 years now. I have never once had a bad experience or side effect from it. Off of the pill, my periods were 9-11 days, came every 1-3 months, extremely heavy and with terrible cramps, to the point that I would miss class/work due to vomiting from the pain. Now, my periods last 3-4 days, I only use light tampons, I have very little cramping, have not gained a pound, and I've never had a pregnancy scare since starting it. I've even missed a pill here and there, and I have experienced no spotting or anything abnormal. My period is like clockwork - even down to the time of day it comes. 11 stars from me!!"


"This medication is possibly good for thousands of patients but gave me agitation and hot feet after  using only for only  3 days . These symptoms might happened to others as any medicine probably cause reaction to any individual."


"I was on Lyrica until last year until my insurance would not pay for it. They started me on gabapentin which does work very well with me."


"Wow, a lot of people have had experiences with this. I've used this product once before years ago and it worked fine then. I've never taken any other medication for a YI aside from a 7 day treatment. I switched to a new brand of soap (ULTA brand shower gel) and my vagina wasn't really the same. After using wayyyy too much other scented soap (dumb, I know) I realized I had a problem so I bought the Monistat 7 day. I get a lot of itching shortly after application, but no burning or discomfort. Sometimes it itches through out the day, but it's nothing unbearable. As far as I can tell, everything seems to be working just fine. I don't think I'll ever take a 1 or 3 day application. I'm 27, never had kids, have sex about once a month."


"I've taken this medication for about 3:years now. Back when I was diagnosed with major depression one of the first medications I tried was celexa. It helped me out of a very bad place. Like every medication it has its side effects, but compared to other medications they are minimal. This medication, along with exercise and a healthy diet, helped turn my life around. There are no side effects worth mentioning besides mind drowsiness and a lack of energy on higher doses. If you feel stuck I would highly recommend celexa your first choice for meds"


"I took Alesse as a birth control as well as to stop my acne. I used to get bad acne before my period and it recently started because before I didn't used to get acne. I'm 19 btw and just before the beginning of the school year I started getting this and the doctors suggested bc because it could be hormones and my acne wasnt that bad just a few on my forehead and cheeks but after I started taking Alesse it got really bad and I have super bad hyperpigmentation now that I didn't have before. I took it for about 5 months and stopped and now my acne is gone but the hyperpigmentation remains"


"works very good but makes BP go high"


"I wish it was available in a strength between the 145 and the 290.  The 290 is almost too strong, but the 145 isn't strong enough.  I've had IBS w/constipation for longer than I can remember and this is the first med that has helped  I've been getting by on doctor samples for now, but don't know how much longer that will last."


"The depo shot was convienent. Loved not having to take a pill everyday. At first things were fine then I slowely started to develop severe depression all the way to suicidal thoughts. And trust me I'm the happiest person alive I was so confused what was happeneing. I only got 2 shots and then I switched to sprintec pill. Within a week of being off the depo I felt like myself again. I would rather take 10000 pills a day then to feel what I felt on the depo."


"Due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and me screaming and attacking people in my sleep, I take Prazosin and it REALLY works!"


"I was so nervous about getting this shot - and believe me, it was a piece of cake!  It was slightly uncomfortable for about 2-3 seconds, but no screaming pain.  After a few days I did notice a reduction in pain.  I am now about 4 weeks out from the shot and my knee feels wonderful!  This shot has been totally worth it for me.  I will get another one when needed with no hesitation."


"I lost 60 pounds. I don't have food cravings."


"I think this drug helps really well."


"I've been taking the medicine on and off for 5 years, I have a repeating bacterial vaginitis infection. The medicine tastes like medal, for those of you who ask, "how do you know what it tastes like", your mouth begins to have a metal flavor and the taste of your food is altered. The medicine literally makes me ill, my head hurts and stomach is nauseous. There aren't any other medications that work for bacterial vaginitis and this one obviously isn't perfect, never less, it does the job for 3-5 months and then I repeat the course of action all over again. So my advice is to hang in there and take the pills until completed. Hopefully you will have greater longevity."


"I would love to give this medicine a 10. It works great for my overactive bladder, unfortunately the irritation and itching is unbearable and I have to end up changing the patch every couple of days. I am running out of places on my body because the irritation and itching lasts a lot longer than the patch. The medicine works great but can't get past the irritation from the patch."


"Male with Burning mouth syndrome. It took a few weeks, but this did subdue the symptoms. 50mg nightly."


"I love this birth control pill. I haven't gained a pound, and my periods are so light and they only last about three days. I went off Yaz for a few months and actually gained weight. "


"I bleed for a month sometimes even longer, then I'm off for about 3 weeks. I have lost my sex drive. The only thing good about the Nexplanon is it prevents pregnancy."


"50 year old female.  Had been advised of borderline high-blood pressure for a few years. During an unrelated surgery & hospital stay, BP was uncontrollable and spiking 200/120.  Dr. started me on Metoprolol and lisonopril, but didn't control my BP well, and horrible side effects of fatigue, light-headed, loss of concentration, etc.  Switched to Bystolic, and immediately blood pressure was perfect, side effects were gone.  BUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS - started having severe joint or tendon pain in shoulders, hips and fingers.  I've seen a few reports of this problem with Bystolic, going to an osteo specialist this week - I would hate to have to stop Bystolic, but if it's the culprit, these joint pains are not worth it."


"I have had nexplanon for 4 months. The insertion wasn't bad at all, the doctors numb the area and you will feel no pain. I also had little bruising. The first week I had it it was fine and the second week I started to bleed a medium flow for 4 days. My flowed soften and only had to wear a panty liner for awhile. This lasted about 3 weeks but I didn't mind it. Then I had a week off my period and the next week my period started up for 2 weeks. After that I haven't bled at all and I love it. I haven't had any problems with mood swings, depression nothing like that.If anything it has improved my mood. I don't have to worry about getting pregnant and my partner also loves it. I highly recommend nexplanon for a long-term birth control."


"I started taking Phentermine last summer to increase my energy and as a nice side effect to lose weight.  I was walking (fast) 3 miles everyday.  I was on oral diabetes medicction.  Through the exercise I lowered my choloesterol 41 points, got off the diabetes medicines and lost 9lbs. Phentermine did decrease my appetite, but didn't help me lose weight.  I ate EXTREMELY healthy, watching carbs, calories, etc. The side effects were horrible constipation, I would drink HUGE amounts of water everyday and still had extreme DRY mouth and skin.  Phentermine did increase my energy, sometimes feeling very jittery, especially at first, finding myself wired and only sleeping 3-4 hours a night.  NOT WORTH THE SIDE EFFECTS FOR ME."


"Positives: I'm not pregnant, and it really has cleared up my acne. My periods are shorter, not necessarily lighter.
Negatives: I've been taking Trinessa for about a year and my periods still do not come at the same time every month. I will be the first to admit I do not take it at the EXACT time every day, but definitely within a window of a few hours. Before my period, I notice that I will get very dizzy and lightheaded, which never happened to  me before. It has also made me VERY emotional- I'm a pretty sensitive person, but it was never this bad. Finally, I have noticed that the pill reduces my appetite, however, if I do not constantly have a small amount of food in my stomach, I feel nauseous (I never vomit), it goes away once I eat."


"I am 24 years old and have a 3 y/o boy and a 7 m/o daughter. I got Mirena placed when my daughter turned 5 weeks old. She is 2 days shy of being 7 months old and I have not stopped bleeding since her birth. My hair falls out in excessive amounts, I can't lose my last 10 lbs of weight even with diet pills and exercise. This Mirena does it's job at preventing pregnancy, but I have spent more money on tampons than I would have with just buying regular birth control pills."


"I have suffered with Chronic Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis since age of 2. I'm now 44. In the past 15 years I have been in severe pain. I have tried every drug under the sun, but since taking Humira I have not had to take my other Dmards; I feel great. "


"I take 10 mg daily. Started two weeks ago. I was on Zoloft for 3 years prior. The side effects are not as bad as Zoloft. I am still waiting for the full effects since my body is still not used to this medicine. It helps with my depression so far."


"Wife has taken for 2 years, no improvement, steady decline in symptoms."


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


"I had my Mirena IUD placed about four months ago. I HIGHLY recommend it *if* you want long-term easy birth control and are able to wait out the two to three month adjustment phase (which I'm sure is shorter or longer depending). Now, I forget I have it.

BUT the first two months after I got it, I wanted it out. For one thing, my fingers are too short and I couldn't feel the strings, meaning I have to go in to have it checked slightly more often than normal. I had spotting, waves of cramping, breast tenderness, my period every two weeks that lasted 7-10 days (which was pretty annoying). I didn't have a decreased sex drive, but because my body felt so out of whack, I didn't feel like having sex. If you can wait, do."


"I had an unpleasant experience. I had only used it for a week and it made big red marks on my face like eczema. And it didn't help with my acne at all."


"Copaxone was working great for over 10 years, until the day came that my injection site reaction went anaphylactic.  Not a pleasant experience, especially when health care providers (of which I am/was one) refuse to believe that the only potential exposure agent was Copaxone.
I would be willing to give it another try (in a controlled hospital setting with emergency medicines on hand), but my neurologist and PCP won't let me.
If you can take it, site reactions are the only problem I ever had, as they only occurred the last year I was on it.  Side effects were virtually non-existent compared to the other ABC medicines and the new treatment modalities."


"Works really well but one side effect was that my face dryed out."


"I've been on and off Xanax for 22 years. It's the only drug that makes me feel normal after a lifetime of anxiety and depression. It's awful that people use it recreationally and that's made it difficult to get a prescription for it because of others abuse of it. It makes me feel normal. So obviously I need it. I have nothing but good things to say about this drug. It helps me not want to freak out and shake due to anxiety. If you really need to be on it, it's amazing."


"Had unprotected sex Sunday morning and got/took the pill the next day. Felt perfectly fine that day but everyday up until today I have been cramping and my breasts have been super tender, but I knew it was normal since it was stated as one of the side effects. But I didn't know it was going to make me get my period so early. I'm supposed to get it two weeks from now but got it today. I'm glad I did because now I have some closure knowing that it worked!"


"Saxenda has been approved by a hospital doctor. I am experiencing now a constipation or straining in passing my stool which I notice it is increased when I start using  3.0Mg doses in week 5 which was normal before using Saxenda. I notice blood after passing my stool and it was painful. If I notice again I will finish my last pen and I will stop using it and I will monitor my self and see my doctor once I get back from my trip.
*It has really cut the appetite,
I am not like before in terms of eating, I eat much less now.
I feel full quickly,
Dry mouth,
side lower Pain  sometimes.
Losing 4 KG only.
I used Saxenda to have shortcuts.
I take the injection in the morning."


"I would get bladder infections at least once a month for years. After seeing several doctors and taking medicine after medicine of broad spectrum antibiotics, my bladder infections always seemed to return. I found my miracle drug, nitrofurantoin. I take one pill when I start to feel the slightest signs of a bladder infection. I have been on this pill for 4 years now and have not had a full blown infection since. I see that a daily dose of one pill works as well, I might switch to this method."


"I was in a manic state, unable to sleep, racing thoughts.  My doctor prescribed Depakote.  This was a miracle drug for me!  My manic state dissipated, along with the severe anxiety.  I was able to sleep."


"When I first got it I had a light period for three weeks, however it stopped and never came back until I had to remove it for my second Implanon. My skin was clear of acne, I did had a little facial hair growing but I dismissed it (thought it would be better than getting pregnant). My hormones calmed, I was always angry before and this made me happier at the time. Now I have one year and a half with my second Implanon and I'm removing it. I've gained weight (I've never had a healthy diet though) I've gotten even more facial hair and the acne is like I'm in high school again. I have two cysts on my uterus and I have made hair growing  on my inner tights (yikes!), sex drive has disappeared. Sorry Implanon, gotta let you go."


"I’ve had the liletta IUD for about 4 weeks. I didn’t think I was going to have many side effects. I’ve had extremely heavy bleeding since the first day I got it as well ass my breasts are constantly tender, it’s made me have constant head aches, super nauseas, and it’s made me feel very depressed."


"I've always had struggles with acne, but around spring of 2010 is when it came to its worse. My self esteem was at its lowest, so that's when I made an appointment with my dermatologist. I was prescribed Doryx as my first antibiotic, while at the same time, taking birth control, and by November my complexion was completely cleared with no side effects ever having occurred. Now being off Doryx, and relying on my birth control to keep it clear, my skin is sadly going back to its old ways."


"OxyContin is by far the best pain reliever that I have ever used without making me drowsy. It is most effective if prescribed at the proper strength for your condition. Take only as prescribed."


"Over the summer, I experienced my first panic attack leading to a string of additional panic attacks that followed. Subsequently, I was so overly focused on all the tics and aspects of my body, I was unable to focus or leave the house. I was getting panic attacks nearly on the daily, and had a terrible experience with the medication Viibryd, which gave me serotonin syndrome and left me awake for five straight days.

Lexapro gave me my life back. It took about 4 weeks to start to really help, and 2 months to work in full strength. It allowed me for the first time in years to truly be happy, and deal with the problems of life.

For those of you who just started this medicine, give it a chance because the side effects at first are very tough."

"I was on the Depo shot and felt moody and gained a lot of weight. I went on this pill and I love it. No weight gain, no side effects at all. The Depo made me feel crazy, with this I feel great and love life."


"helped a little but still have a problem with urgency"


"This was my first time experience with any birth control, I'm 22 and have no children and take no other medication. Unfortunately, this birth control side affect on me was numbness on the left side of my body (left arm and leg were both numb). Also, my sex drive decreased tremendously."


"I've been on Cryselle for 3 months now the first month I was an emotional wreck, crying over nothing and just super bothered by anyone and everyone! It's gotten better now, but the week of my sugar pills Im still on an emotional rollercoaster. My periods shortened from 7 days to about 3-4 which is nice. My face breaks out during my period and is blotchy but I can't completely blame it all on the pill since it happened before. This pill didn't make me gain any weight, I actually lost about 10 lbs during the first two months. Overall this pill has been alright. At the very least it's been effective but I am considering switching it up"


"I started Effexor XR in Nov 2016. The first week (37.5 mg) was a bit of a roller coaster for me in terms of emotions. Every day around noon I would start to feel a bit panicky and get hot/cold flashes. After about 5 days the mood swings stopped. I had a brief period where I could feel there was a difference, and then it "crashed". I upped the dose, and the same pattern repeated every 3-4 weeks, where the meds would become effective, crash, increase the dose, and repeat. After roughly 6 months of this, I have finally made it to a dosage that didn't crash (187.5 mg). I am SO grateful for this - the benefits were well worth the wait. Doing things/talking to people no longer makes me feel completely exhausted. Have patience with this drug."


"Lantus has been a miracle for me.  Prior to using it, my blood sugars were completely out of control. My numbers were so high at times, they wouldn't even register.  I did everything my doctor told me to with no success.
When I was taking R and N insulin, I'd have extreme highs and lows with my blood sugars.  There simply was no regulation. Lantus so far has leveled out my blood sugar levels.  I take it in conjunction with Humalog.  Between the two, most of the spikes I've experiences have stopped.  Although with the Humalog, I do have to be careful with hypoglycemic events. The combination of the two insulins is the only thing that's ever helped me.  And I've been on everything you can imagine. It looks like I'll finally control my diabetes."


"So far this birth control has worked. I've had it for almost 2 years now but the side effects are awful. I've gained more than 40 pounds, I am severely depressed most of the time, I get these awful cramps but never a period, I'm nauseous a lot. The side effects are so bad I'm ready to just get it taken out and try another method. I haven't gotten pregnant while on this birth control but I feel risking the chance of getting pregnant is much better than having to deal with these side effects for 2 more years. The weight gain and severe depression are the worst. I've never been so depressed or gained so much weight in my life."


"I experienced abnormal heavy bleeding for 4 weeks, was anemic and in danger of needing a transfusion. I took Lysteda, as prescribed, for 5 days.  It slowed my bleeding and I was able to sleep through the night without getting up to take care of overflow, allowing much needed rest.  After 5 days, my bleeding stopped entirely. Doctors are still looking for the cause of my abnormal bleeding, but Lysteda has addressed the crisis and is giving me a reprieve from heavy blood loss. I'm grateful."


"Just wanted to chime in a positive review for Mirena. I had the Mirena inserted in July of 2014. I did not think it was painful at all - just like an intense cramp for about 10 seconds, but I think everyone has a different body and a different pain tolerance. My gyno warned me that side effects take 3-6 months to go away. I randomly spotted for the first 2 months or so - not terrible, just annoying. The one side effect that I didn't like was that when my period would normally be happening, I wouldn't bleed, but I would get really light-headed/zoned out for a few days. I was a little worried by the second month that had happened (September 2014), but it never happened again. Mirena has been FANTASTIC since. No period/spotting, not pregnant."


"I appreciate this medication. It has been of great benefit to relieving my asthma distress relatively quickly. In my youth Epinephrine was the Only medication for my disease and I spent hundreds of days over the years waiting for my asthma attacks to subside. I am pleased that the extended suffering does not have to be endured now that this medication is affordable and available."


"paxil helps me quite a bit"


"If I don't take it my skin feels like something is biting me and I itch all over I get very agitated and I can't sleep or sit still or focus my attention for a normal amount of time"


"Started 37.5 Effexor 2 weeks ago. Haven't really noticed any decrease in my pain level from fibromyalgia. Feel very foggy, drinking more coffee in the morning to clear my head. Not sleeping well at night, 3-4 hrs a night at most. I've noticed a huge change in my vision, eyes are extremely dry during daytime when wearing my contacts but continuously watering at night. I don't think this  medicine is for me. Contacting Doctor about stopping. Very concerned about the withdrawals I'm reading about...."


"I began taking Loestrin 24 almost a year ago. I'm 33 and had not been on birth control since college because it made me horribly sick for months. My cycle had been regular for years, but I experienced ultra heavy bleeding for 5-8 days and cramps that were so bad that I nearly destroyed my liver from the ibuprofen I would consume. Loestrin 24 has changed my world. I have had no side effects, my skin has actually cleared up (I have cystic acne), I have a period that literally lasts a few hours and the only cramps I have are mild and last for less than an hour. They are more of an "indicator" that I started. I guess my only issue with it is really MY problem...I sometimes forget to take it, but setting an alarm on my phone solved that."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This was my first time using suprep .  My Dr. Ordered 2 kits to be used . One the day before , with a liquid diet , and one the day of the procedure .  He also wrote Zofran ( for nausea) to be taken 30 minutes prior to each dose .  That helps tremendously . A few tips I discovered to help get it down .

     1) use a large straw with a bendable neck .  You can get more volume down and move your nose away from the smell of the prep!

      2) cut line wedges to suck immediately after swallowing prep.  It cuts the bitter aftertaste .

      3) I chased each gulp with lemonade. It seemed to help mask the taste of the prep.

All 4 doses down and waiting for my procedure .

YOU CAN DO THIS !!!!"


"Been taking for one week. Too soon to tell if it will work but long enough to learn that taking it with fatty food such as peanut butter or cream cheese lessens the stomach discomfort - for me anyway."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"BEYAZ is my WORST ENEMY! I took this BC pill for 1 1/2 months. Completed week 1 and the mood swings started. Week 3 I started bleeding light with minor cramps. Week 4 my light bleeding turned into heavy bleeding changing my pad every hour or less. The cramps were no longer minor they were just unbearable that I had to take Norco and Ibuprofen at the same time just to take the edge off. I spoke to my GYN about the symptoms and I was advise to give it another try even after I was in the ER injected with Dilaudid. Started 2nd pack as the bleeding and cramping still continues. Put on Vicodin and Naproxen for pain. I became depressed, angry, isolated, emotionally unattached and extremely tired I quit taking it mid way and now I'm in recovery."


"I took the pill for about 6 month the first 3 months were the worst for me i was cranky my sex drive went down the drain i was dry down there and i became depressed after i started to feel better just bad cramps.. the pill is effective just the side effects are the worst"


"I'm writing this review hoping that I can help someone in the future who is in the same situation as I was. I had chronic nausea for 6 months after a stomach bug and went from doctor to doctor until I was diagnosed with post-infectious functional dyspepsia by a really good gastroenterologist.

I was immediately put on mirtazapine, starting on 7,5mg at bedtime and then increasing to 15mg after 3 weeks. This drug worked wonders and I recovered my appetite within the first week, and I was virtually free of nausea after less than a month. Side effects were a lot of sleepiness at first (it went away in a few weeks), some constipation and loss of libido."


"I was placed on this for Miragine prevention.  The weight loss was cool, but the resulting High Blood Pressure not cool.  So much so that I was not able to be put on birth control medication.  I am no longer on this medication and still am suffering from HBP.  I do not smoke or drink and my blood pressure was perfect before starting this medication."


"My experience with Levora was an quite different. This is my first time using birth control. I thought I would gain weight, however when I began taking Levora I was 115 lbs a month into the pill I lost so much weight. I am currently 107 lbs. I also suffered from bad mood swings and nausea occasionally. I felt like I lost a lot of my appetite as well. The pill certainly served its purpose though, I didn't get pregnant and my periods were amazingly light and cramps were almost non existent."


"I am a 44 year old female. My Doctor but me on Bystolic in February 2010. I read all the reviews and was nervous about some of the side effects such as weight gain. However, I have found that I love this medicine! It has been very effective in lowering my blood pressure! The only thing now is that I am now so physically fit aerobically from increasing my exercise regimen that now my blood pressure and pulse rate seem to be pretty low. (Sometimes in the 109/65 range and upper 40's to high 50's range heart rate) that I think my dosage might need to be reduced. Also, there is a profound calming effect with this medicine. I encourage anyone to try it!"


"I'm on Zoloft for many yrs but have tried many other's  But I don't think that I'm bipolar. That's a diagnosis I got 20yrs ago. I'm scheduled to get an updated diagnoses next week.
I have had depression since I was in grade school. I knew it. Through the years I've read about symptoms and just recently read an article about how to know what kind of counselor to choose. So I will let you all know how it goes because I've been looking for help as my depression and anxiety helplessness affective mood disorder is driving me to not want to be here anymore. Obviously I'm not  ready tho because I'm still pounding my head up against the wall. "


"I started this medication at the suggestion of my neurologist in June 2016. I was overweight and having frequent migraines. I started on 25mg and increased by 25 mg every week until I was at 100 mg. I started to notice slow weight loss at first, and my migraines were instantly better. The weight loss definitely increased once I got to 100mg. After the one month mark the doctor increased me to 125mg and the wight loss slowly continued. As of now I am down 27lbs and still going! As some have said the side effects of "word soup" and tingling in my hands and feet have all happened, but they have all worn off once I have become used to the increased dosage (which is a good and bad thing). I'll be talking with the dr soon! Good luck everyone!"


"I'm on week three of the patch and I can't wait for it to be over. This is the second time this year I've used the patch and I remember the same same side effects as before. Headache during most of the first week coupled with constant nausea. The only thing that seems to make the nausea subside is eating! Needless to say I've noticed some weight gain!!!!!!

I suppose you've got to try these things.... In theory it's a great idea, unfortunately it doesn't work for me."


"I had Mirena inserted about 4 months ago. I have given birth once and my fiance and I decided we were done having children for now. The procedure didn't take very long. I took some naproxen about an hr before my appointment for pain. It was a little uncomfortable and accompanied by mild cramping afterwards and for the next few days. So far I've still had my period every month. There's no heavy bleeding and I barely have any cramping if any at all. So far the experience has been good and it seems to work well."


"First of all, I never realized that I had OCD until I told my doctor I couldn't sleep because I couldn't control my thoughts. I thought OCD only manifested itself in physical rituals. Paxil has literally saved my life. It broke a 14 year cycle of racing, uncontrollable thoughts/insomnia/anxiety/depression. I have been taking Paxil for 15 years now."


"On 2/8/16 I had sex and right after he realized that the condom broke. Like 30 to 45 minutes later I took the pill. I wasn't sure when the pill will make my period come simply because I just got off my period on the 6th or 7th. 2 weeks later I get my period and it was longer than usual because it was of the pill and it was medium-light. The pill worked but it messed up my already messed up period. But the sooner you take it the better. If you do it between 72 hours it's up to 89% effective and if you take it less than 24 hours it's up to 95% effective. I feel like it only doesn't work if you wait HOURS. So try to take it less than an hour after sex and you'll be fine."


"I suffered from acute anxiety and panic disorders my entire life and had no idea of how much it was crippling me until my late 30s. I have been taking Escitalopram for about a year now and I am a new person. Small challenges would throw me into a tailspin of constant thoughts and hyper-anxious reactions and I would end up just wanting to stay in bed. I am a new woman and take 20mg *faithfully*.  What I love about this medication is that I still have the same concerns but they do not "spin me out" - I handle them and move on.  I am not hamstrung by my thoughts and fears being out of control anymore."


"Cepacol spray has worked for me better than any spray or lozenge. Its effectiveness is almost immediate. My problem is that I haven't been able to find this product for a few years. When I didn't have a bottle with me and I bought the other brand of spray, the results were not nearly as effective. I continue to look for Cepacol spray."


"I have had my 3rd UTI within 2 years. The doctor  prescribed me this medication. I can say within taking the first pill, my symptoms were gone. I do not have the burning sensation when I urinate or have an urgency to urinate.

I did have a slight nausea spell 20 minutes within taking the pill, but my stomach was completely empty. I took my 2nd dose after dinner and I feel okay. I do have bloating and cramps but other than that I feel quite well.

This is the first antibiotic I've used for a UTI that has had almost instantaneous relief. I am grateful to have been given this medicine!"


"I took this medication on 4 different occasions at the lowest dose possible. It creates diarrhea, then I start feeling like I has the Flu. I'm sick all over, excessive drowsiness and a bit of depression..Its a not a good drug for me"


"At age 56, after testing to rule out other problems, I had Mirena inserted 8 months ago to control disabling periods that were interfering with work, travel, and exercise and causing anemia. Insertion was less noticeable than pap test, with minimal cramping afterwards. Periods now range from light to fairly heavy, but all are manageable. No weight gain (I am slim) and no other noticeable side effects except for near constant spotting, heavy enough to need a small tampon for all but about one week per month. Annoying but much better situation than I had before so I am very glad I did it."


"I take Norco for chronic pain in my back and leg. My tolerance for was very high, though when I was dosed up on it I could do my job very well (construction laborer). Gabapentin 300mg 3x day has helped. On the first day I expected immediate relief but felt nothing and was going to call the doctor in the morning to complain. When I woke after sleeping through the night for the first time in a while, I was surprised that my back pain was diminished to the point that I was surprised. After reading here other reviews, I going to have my dosage upped to see if it can completely cut off my pain. I am pending an MRI and likely epidural procedure. Side effect though, when I try to work, I can feel my (extensive) injuries."


"I'd been on Wellbutrin/Wellbutrin SR for over 15 years and it worked great until about a year ago when I started feeling I'd built up a tolerance to it.  Seeing that Aplenzin was basically the same, but in hydrobromide form instead of hydrochloride, I figured it would "trick" my body into reacting to it as a new medicine without losing the benefits. With the blessing of my psych doc, I switched and it appears to have worked.  I'd give 10 stars, except for the high cost."


"This birth control worked really well for the first few months. I had very light periods, no cramps, no acne, no weight gain, and I didn't get pregnant. This birth control was a miracle for me because I used to have horrible period cramps, and it made them go away completely. But then, about 6 months after taking it, my periods started getting weird. I started getting my period on the active pills instead of the placebo pills. Then, I started getting two periods a month. I would bleed a little bit while having sex. It was so strange. I told my doctor and now I'm switching to another pill. This one was good while it lasted."


"I took Zyban for about 2 months back in 1999. I had smoked for about 25 years before that and had tried to quit with no success.  I was sceptical about Zyban because I was a hard core smoker, and was only half motivated to quit. Nothing changed for the first two weeks or so, then I thought I would limit myself to 3 per hou, next week the limit was one per half hour, then one per hour.Now I was about 5 or 6 weeks in.  I stayed on Zyban, and would take a few smokes with me to work.  One day on my way to work I was having a smoke and thinking about it and realized the only reason I was smoking now is because I was bringing them with me.  I butted it out, and never looked back. I can be around smokers and not be tempted by it now too."


"4th month on this drug and i have never cried or think about killing myself, but yes, it really gets me depending on my mood i think. There are nights where i dont feel anything and others where i get drowsy, confused and cannot concentrate in anything. Some dreams can be really inmersive too."


"I am scared of antidepressants as I had a bad occurrence weaning off Zoloft 10 years ago. I moved across country and back in 2 months time lock, stock and barrel.  My new doctor has placed me on Cymbalta.  I started on Nov. 16, so it's been 3 weeks and 1 day.  The first 4 days were the hardest; however, I have felt more calm and at peace.  I only want to be on it to get me through the rough patch.  Once I have a routine again (job) I will (under a doctor's care) wean off slowly.  I was told weaning off Zoloft should have been done in a year's time, not 3 months as I thought would work.  I learned a very hard lesson.  My advice, don't wean off any of these medicines on your own.  It was extremely costly for me and difficult."


"Verapamil 80mg 2 times a day lowered my blood pressure significantly. The side effects are occasional constipation, itchy rashes, little shortness of breath and mild fatigue. Drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day helps. I like this better than atenolol which lowered my heartbeat and blood pressure to 100/49, and hydrochlorothiazide, which caused dehydration, tingling, rashes feeling very cold and fatigue."


"Been on Victoza 8 weeks for weight loss, had no side effects until after 4 weeks. Swollen tongue, red lump and itch at injection point. Lost 10lbs first month and nothing since. Started with 0.6 and upped to 1.2 as prescribed. Appetite has gone down a little, cravings are pretty much completely gone. Added exercise 3-4 x a week since new year. Still no more weight loss."


"At first, I thought Nexplanon was great. The insertion didn't hurt, my insurance covered the entire cost, and I nearly eliminated my chances of getting pregnant for three years. But then the side-effects kicked in. The first couple of months I didn't have a period, but I did have severe mood swings and anxiety. I have seen a significant decrease in my sex drive. And now, six months into the b/c, I have spotting and cramps nearly everyday. On the plus side, I haven't noticed any weight gain, and my acne has cleared up.

This is a great option for those whose bodies agree with Nexplanon. Mine, however, does not seem to. I'm thinking about getting it removed, but I'm not sure which b/c method to switch to."


"I was suffering from a UTI for over 2 weeks. Burning had stopped but was loosing my mind over how severe the urgency was. I got prescribed macrobid, after 4 days of no relief I went to the ER and got prescribed Cipro 500mg two times a day for 5 days. I took my second pill and my symptoms are 98% gone. The only side effect was a bit of anxiety after the first pill. But, this could've been because I had read so many scary reviews. I'm truly grateful for this drug. I was sleepless and restless to the point of depression. So happy something is finally helping!"


"I only gave this med a 5 because I have mixed feelings about it. As a cough suppressant it worked 'good' for me. Not great.. but I'm able to sleep better with less coughing. The cough is better.

But the side effects have been awful for me. (I'm over 70 years old, so may react to medicines more readily).

It makes me awfully drowsy and dizzy so that I won't drive. And after my morning dose today I started feeling nauseous and vomited (I have a cast iron stomach and never vomit unless I get the stomach flu).

"


"I started on this medication and since I have taken it the nightmares have been gone. If I forget to take it, then I will have them.  This medication has really helped me get a good nights sleep, every night."


"I have taken statins for the past 20 years, having to change regularly because of side effects of muscular pains.  Triglycerides were high also.  HDL low. LDL high.  Cholesterol level 4 months ago was 325.  Started taking Livalo for the first time.  BLood work 3 months later - Cholesterol 197, Triglycerides the lowest I have ever, ever had.  HDL high.  LDL low.  Never had these kinds of results before.  Very happy.  I have had muscle cramps in hands, feet and legs at times. Thought it might be due to low potassium or magnesium.  Blood work proved to be normal range for both.  Perhaps it is the Livalo."


"Had sex on ovulation day and condom broke. He didn't finish inside me, only a little got in me as he pulled out. I had just began my bc a couple weeks prior and was scared my antibiotics I was on could have interactected with my bc. So I took plan b 30 minutes later and started my period 2 weeks later on the predicted date! It was extremely stressful. I convinced myself at times I was pregnant by googling everything possible. I know it's hard not to do that but try not to! If you take it in enough time it should work. I had minimal side effects. Lots of stretchy white discharge for two weeks and my period started as a dark brown discharge that was minimal and turned into a period. Good luck!"


"Cymbalta has made a huge difference. I was in constant pain and emotionally distraught 24/7. Now, taking 60mg a day I feel alive again. The only thing i dont like is my inability to deep sleep but i will take it over constant pain and distress any day."


"Gives me hope."


"I had the birth control IUD mirena placed just after my six month check up after having my baby! No problem having it inserted but I do NOT recommend this to any breastfeeding mother! (Yes, every body and hormones are different for everyone) however, this almost completely dried up my milk not even a month into having it inserted! Thankfully I realized it in time and had it removed immediately and was able to get my milk supply back! Anyone who breastfeeds knows how hard it is in the first six weeks so I didn't want to give up what I worked so hard to get! Also, I felt it made me very moody and irritable all the time! Having it taken out was an extremely quick process and I never felt a thing! Always trust what your body is telling you!"


"After suffering over 50 years with excessively wet armpits I asked my doctor what could be done. Hypercare was prescribed and it is such a relief. What is amazing is that it takes very little to be effective, while using too much may increase itching."


"As far as getting rid of your cough goes this medicine is awesome. I took 2 pills 2 nights ago didn't sleep at all the first night and have been jittery ever since. I drink a lot of tea so I'm sure the caffeine is adding to it. I think next time I will take one and lay off the beverages with caffeine."


"Great for relatively fast relief."


"This pill has allowed me to get some much needed sleep. I get flare-ups for bursitis in my shoulder about twice a year and when it happens if I roll over onto that shoulder I want to scream and I'm awake the rest of the night. Even putting on a shirt is terrible. The only other pain I've been through that was worse were kidney stones. Please be smart and take this medicine like you are supposed to. "


"Many years of pain - After exploratory surgery and a part of one ovary taken than laparoscopic 3 times to get rid of the endo, I thought this was going to be my saving grace !
It has ruined my life and I'm talking well over 20 years Ago.
If I remember correctly it was a new drug they we're trying at the time.
Yes it stopped my period and pain but literally jumped from 110 to 140 in one month , had a complete breakdown first time ever in my life breaking a glass table . Depression and anxiety and Anger became my life . I reported all symptoms even the little ones , such as sweating and not sleeping , hot flashes etc . So not worth the lasting side effects depression never went away !
Don't use this drug / it took my happiness in life -"


"I am 20 years old and I have been on this for over a year now. I tried other birth control pills before this one, but the estrogen levels were way too high (my boobs got bigger and I got extremely moody). Lo-loestrin was so much better! Since it has such a small dose of both hormones, I haven't noticed any negative side effects. The first couple of months I had dark, sticky discharge (especially during menstration time); however, since then I have not had a period. My gynecologist says this is okay at my age and not something to worry about. Overall I am very happy with this birth control."


"I just used this cream almost 3 hours ago, and I think my vagina is about to fall off! It is worse than before! The intense burning sensation and discomfort. I was doing well with the vinegar, so I don't know why I bought this mess. Never again!"


"The only warning my gyno gave me was that I would be spotting for about 15 days after having the IUD inserted, which was a damn lie.  I spotted for a whole four weeks after the procedure.  My uterus chilled for two weeks before I started spotting again.  I then became frustrated because this irregular spotting was now interfering with my sex life.  Panty liners, something I never sought to buy, will become your most prized possession.  During the first 3! months, your period will be irregular.  Mine became lighter but the duration lasted longer.  I went from a 5-day cycle to a 10- 13-day cycle."


"Took Med for six months, decreased appetite and lost 50 pounds. But then it stopped working on me.  Tried it a year later and not working.  If you get the savings card on line at the official Belviq web site and pay cash drug is only $75.  Even if your insurance covers the drug copayment may be more than that."


"It worked to prevent a runny nose but it made my sinuses feel so DRY. I switched to this from Flonase because it gave me frequent bloody noses. QNASL did not cause bloody noses, but didn't really make me feel any better. It made me feel more congested but a "dry " congestion. I will not longer be taking this."


"This medication completely changed my life for the better.  Also having a thyroid autoimmune disease, menopause was worse for me, a bad endocrine "cocktail" as it were, and I was for almost a year brought to my knees with 20 or more knee buckling hot flash episodes a day that caused so much joint and limb pain I couldn't walk, severe depression, was nearly bedridden from lack of energy and episodes that were almost anxiety attacks (never had them before).  Within 3 weeks of taking FemHrt, it nearly all ceased.  I got my life back."


"short story, "the mistake" was Oct 24, 3 days after my period ends, took plan b same day 3 hours after "the mistake", side effects no too much, only a few cramps or like ovulating pain, after 5 days of taking plan b start spotting and later a heavy bleeding for 4 days. My next period suppose to come Nov 16-17, NOTHING... I start freaking out! Nov 18 start feeling like a little cramps but still nothing...the whole week I was crying and freaking out, praying to get my period, all week with cramps but still no signal of my period, internet freak me out more!!! My mind was playing me games feeling things like I was pregnant. I prayed so much! finally today Nov 24 one month later that I took plan b, I just get my period! Thank God! The pill work"


"I have been on Depakote ER for 6 years now and although it has not controlled my seizures it has definitly decreased them."


"I have IBS (constipation dominant). It's been years since I've used a stimulant laxative as I have been able to "keep things moving" with other meds. Had a major problem, though, yesterday and was miserable. Took the highest dose (3 tabs) of Dulcolax at 9 p.m. yesterday. At 6 a.m. today, everything was wonderful again! Had diarrhea (to be expected), some cramping and a tad bit nauseated. I tell you, best help I've ever received for this type of problem. Everyone's body is different, so how it will help, not help, or effect each person is different. (Obvious from the reviews here.) But for me, wonderful relief within the time frame stated on the box with minimal side effects."


"I started taking Celexa almost 3 weeks ago. For the first week I took half a pill (10 mg). Then I went almost two weeks on 20 mg. I felt it working at first, but then my mood swings were coming back and so was the depression. I just had it upped yesterday to 40 mg, along with Ativan 1 mg for panic/anxiety and Trazodone 50 mg for sleep. It was working well for awhile, so I'm assuming I just needed it to be increased. I LOVE the fact it doesn't make you eat more or feel "weird" like most depression medications. I am very happy with this medicine and can't wait to have my life back."


"Had protected sex. The condom broke. Used the pullout method because of the broken condom. The next day, I was still nervous - I already had a 9 month old daughter and had just lost my job - so I dealt with judgement and rudeness at the pharmacy and finally walked away with next choice. I took it within 24 hours. I took the second pill 12 hours later, as directed. It didn't work. My son is now 4 and he's amazing, so all ends well for me."


"This is My first colonoscopy and I am a big baby when it comes to liquid medicine.   I hate the taste of liquid meds.  I won't buy a liquid med.  I was scared I would not be able to tolerate  it when I had to use it.  Yes it taste salty and sweet at the same time.   I just held my nose and drank with a straw.  I had it down in abut 10 mins and 8 sips with some pep talk to myself.  Put it in the fridge when you get it from the pharmacy.  And mix with ice cold water.   Suck on a lemon between sips.  That was what saved me.   It started to work about a half hour after my first sip.   The worse part is you just go,  not warning it just comes out fast.   I've had no cramps or chills.   Hopefully the second round is as easy."


"I have bipolar disorder, anxiety, severe depression, PTSD and an eating disorder. I am a 25 year old female and I've been taking Wellbutrin for 3 days with Lexapro. I've tried them all, Lamictal, Abilify, I don't need to go on. My doctor put me on this after  attempting suicide. I'm trying this before I go to my last option, hospitalization. I've read so many positive comments, and I feel a difference already. I have so much energy, but I'm still sleeping a lot. The migraines are horrible, but that's really nothing new with this type of medication. This will be the 7th trial of medications I've been on in a year. Not one has worked. I'm trying really hard and being very patient. I hope for a happy ending like most of you."


"My daughter used this product for her acne after we asked the doctor for it. She, after many other meds,  was finally motivated to use a product that may take time for results. It cleared her face within two werks. I guess different meds work for different people. She did not have the inflamed acne. More the closed comedone kind. (Only know how to describe it that way. Tons of tiny white bumps under the skin)."


"I'm 12, and I've taken Zoloft for about three months now. It has helped with my anxiety, a lot, but the side effects are horrible. My depression has worsened, it has disrupted my sleep patterns, and I'm never hungry anymore. I'm also taking Concerta (I have ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, Depression, Anxiety issues, and signs of mild OCD)."


"I take 200mg a day and find that it helps great with my anxiety. I've taken benzodiazepines and they weren't as helpful. This really is a great medicine."


"I started taking Celexa to help with anxiety and panic attacks. It helped with the panic attacks and made me feel numb as far as emotions. I had to change because I would have to take a nap everyday that sometimes would last 2-3 hours. I also began sleeping very late in the day which is unusual for me. The pill would cause me to have annoying headaches. Also, the first few weeks on it my appetite was suppressed."


"My experience on this medication was a roller coaster but thank God I stayed on. I am a 21 year old college female, studied abroad in Europe with no anxiety problems, but when I came home my world came crumbling down. I couldn't work and would even throw up and pass out from anxiety. When I went on 5mg I had every side effect in the book. I wanted to get off but stuck it out. Went from 5 to 10 to 20mg, which I am on now. It took 5-6 weeks but THANK GOD I waited. I feel back to my old self and can resume my normal life. I would've been in the looney bin had it not been for Lexapro. Not a 10/10 because it took so long to work and side effects were awful at first, but they go away!"


"Pack a day smoker for years!  Loved to puff on those cigs.  But realized I needed to quit.  Chantix made cigarettes seem so gross and disgusting.  No real negative side affects.  Weird dreams and I kept hearing this strange clicking in my head?  Anyways...it worked. "


"I had knee surgery on October 13 ,2014, not even two weeks later on October 24, I collapsed in my kitchen struggling to breathe. The paramedics thought, because of my age, that I overdosed on pain meds. Once they got me to the hospital I went into cat scan and ended up coding and dying. I was dead for 25 minutes. Obviously they found out both of my lungs were FULL of blood clots, they couldn't understand how I was even still alive or had made it that long without having any symptoms or problems. Dr. Barton of Thibodaux, Louisiana saved my life by putting me on Xarelto. It is now April 21, 2015, and my insurance won't pay for it anymore so now I'm switching to Warfarin. I'm very unhappy with the switch, no complaints about Xarelto though."


"Hi I started this weight loss journey in March. I walked the park in January and February and wasn't losing anything. I weighed 225lbs. Until one day girls from around the area convinced me to go to the gym. One of my friends told me about adipex and how she is dropping weight. So I checked it out and started it in March and signed up for the gym. My eating habits died and I drank nothing but water. I cut all my soda out. Now it's July and I'm weighing in at 190lbs. That is 35lbs in 5 months. After  my 3 kids my weight just climbed and it was at the highest point ever. I feel soooo much better and my clothes fall off of me. It's a miracle pill but keep up with water intake and working out. :)"


"Yaz is the WORST birth control I have ever been on!! Other birth controls would stop my period for like a month but then everything would straighten out and my period would be perfectly regular. I've been on Yaz for 4 or 5 months now, taking it at the same time every day and I never know when I'm gonna have my period or how long it's gonna be. I've been having a period every other week! That is not right!!! Also one period lasted 15 days. This is unacceptable. I am done taking Yaz. Will not recommend to anyone, ever."


"The Scale down customer service is the worst possible service ever. I have emailed them numerous times stating that my scale does not work. After I weigh I keep getting an Error 4 CELL message. The only response I have gotten is to move my scale to different areas around my house to see if the scale will work. I have done this over and over. The only phone number that I can call and actually speak to someone is the contrave phone number. They keep telling me they have contracted scale down and that they will mark my case highest priority. I have been dealing with this situation since the end of June. I have simply asked for a new scale and still no response. Worst possible customer service ever!!!!!!!!"


"EnteraGam has been a life saver. I have been dealing with the D and stomach pains for about 4 Years now and started taking EnteraGam a little over 6 months ago and it has help a ton. I can now go out without fear of problems. I still have stomach pain from time to time, but not daily as I was.

It is a little bit on the expensive side (I use 2 boxes a month), but it is worth it to me."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"This Med immediately caused me to have out of controll  nosebleeds and bruising. This Med is deadly, don't take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"Severe scalp psoriasis developed, no flare ups though."


"This Belviq is amazing, I have a friend that is working out with me for the last two years and he is trying harder to lose weight. He was 198 pounds, and after working out for 2 years he lost 4 pounds. Its been a months that he is taking the Belviq and he lost 7 pounds. He is so excited and there is no side effects. It is recomended for you also. I was very impressed of the result. Thanks to Belviq"


"I will start by saying this, the pill has done its job. It's regulated my period, cleared my acne, and prevented pregnancy. I haven't gained a whole lot of weight I've actually lost weight but I have gone up a cup size. Here's the problem, 1) I have little to no sex drive now. It takes me forever to lubricate now and when I do it's very little. 2) THE BIGGEST PROBLEM is that I have become very emotionally unstable. I cry a lot now. There's very few days that go by that I don't cry. I also have a bad temper. I believe this is due to the pill after reading other reviews. These emotional issues didn't come about until about 2 or 3 months of being on this pill. I've been on it for about 6 months now and can't say whether I love or hate it."


"I have been taking Paxil for about 6 years now and it stopped my anxiety attacks almost totally.  Great help and balances out my stress level with being a professional working mom with 101 things to do a day.  Would recommend it highly."


"I still get slight headaches once in a while,  and use Excedrin Migraine with the Topamax, but its nothing compared to what I had. The side effects go away and the ones that don't, you get used to. I still have memory problems, so I had to lower the dose."


"I have D deficiency. My doctor proscribed VIT D 50,000 IU D2 (ERGO) CAPS for me. I took one capsule yesterday afternoon after I got my prescription. I have been having terrible headache for over a day now. I just realized my headache is caused by the D2 capsule I took. It can be toxic for certain people!!"


"I have been taking Nasonex for 8 years for seasonal allergies to various tree pollens. I get the horribly itchy eyes/nose/palate and runny nose. If I start taking Nasonex a few weeks prior to spring pollen season, it really helps and reduces about 90% of my symptoms. This way, I can still function for the month or two of pollen season. I would recommend this to people with Birch tree allergies."


"Im just taking this med starting today....be back in 2 weeks to tell yall how I feel!"


"The only thing I like about Nexplanon is that is has not (and I hope won't) allow me to get pregnant... But I'm getting more than regular periods, and between those, constant spotting. My mood swings are ridiculous. My partner is constantly walking on eggshells around me. I was never ever like this before my implant.

I'm going to have it removed."


"The only medicine that has helped me."


"I have ankylosing spondylitis, it was so bad that I couldn't get out of bed and just got worse. Started Enbrel, it would work for about 4-5 days then stop. I took it weekly. I stopped and tired Humira for 6 months and it didn't work at all, so went back to Enbrel and its working like it used to. It doesn't make the pain totally go away but it is bearable. Can't comment on price because I receive it from the VA."


"I began Tambocor nearly 10 years ago when frequency of episodes increased to weekly. I have had no bouts of tachycardia since."


"I agree, Xanax works well but in limited duration - Klonopin is better because it relaxes you for longer. Just mellows you out so you don't freak out- has changed my life and made it better. My doctor told me to let it dissolve on my tongue, since I have issues with burning tongue from a nerve injury. This has added benefits of helping me not panic about the pain, and other things I feel out of control of in my life. I take a small dose and feel that I can continue taking for awhile without negative side effects, though it can make you a little drowsy during the work day."


"Suffered with Tension Migraines, combined with vascular/aura types for 25 yrs. Went round & round w/tests, scans, RX's, shots, etc until FINALLY my doctor prescribed Anolor 300. Hard to find anymore, but Fioricet was a perfect replacement (same ingredients). It has helped immensely in my daily life. No missed workdays, or other important things in life since having this for the debilitating headaches. 30 mins after taking one, I am good to go. Rarely do I ever need a 2nd dose, if taken at onset. Fabulous, w/o all the awful side effects of many other 'preventative' Rx's. Take as needed. 90 ct bottle lasts me @ 2 yrs!"


"I started  this BC about 9 months  ago. I did have abnormal  periods one month I would start on the Iron pills and the next I would  start a week before.  I am currently PREGNANT  so somewhere  along the line this BC failed me big time.  With abnormal periods how are you really supposed to know?  I took this BC religiously every night around 11 pm."


"I have been taking Yaz for a month now. I have been on so many birth controls in the past and they all made me crazy. I feel normal on Yaz. The only downfall is I do have a hard time getting up in the morning. Extremely tired. There is no spotting though, no bloating, no headaches and I think I lost weight which is a plus."


"I had used this product for several years when ever I experienced yeast infections from the medication I was taken. I found it to be very helpful in lessening the irritation. Is it still being sold? I have a need for it again"


"I cannot speak highly enough of this medicine.  I used to drink a case of beer per week, sometimes more.  I've been trying to control my drinking for 3-5 years with no results.  After starting on Naltrexone, now I can take it or leave it - I have beer in the house but it doesn't control me in the slightest.  To be honest, I lose interest in beer and end up pouring it down the drain because I can't finish the can!

I began by taking a half dose for the first 10 days, which was good because it does cause some drowsiness/sluggishness.  I'm also losing weight because my appetite is not what it used to be.

Hope this is helpful to someone else out there who wants a medical aid to curbing (or eliminating) their excessive drinking."


"I have been using lutera for 5 months now and it's horrible, it's the first time a birth control affects me like that. I totally lost my libido, like i'd rather watch the rain fall than have sex, I am the crankiest thing and I'm 1000 x more sensitive than i used to be. And I feel depressed about half the time, and I always was a happy person, I am going to my doctor today and there's no way I stay on that pill. I'd rather go back to using condoms even if i'm not a fan.. oh and my breasts hurt like they're gonna explode at any moment. Just the feeling of my bra touching them hurts. Don't take it.
"


"I have been taking this drug for more than two years 0.75 MGM  it has not helped me with anything but keep my levels normal. My hair still falls out, I can't loose weight, my heart still flutters.

 I still don't slept well, my nails are brittle.  What does this drug do for you? I have yet to find out...  Think I will try another brand."


"I have been increased from 2.5mg to 5mg but because by blood pressure was 135/85 they were not happy with the bottom number 85 and because I am a type 2 diabetic they have now just double my dose to 10mg and for years stated I had white coat syndrome and would not medicate - surely this could have cause more damage. But so far so good I do suffer with night sweats and leg pains but don't know if this is linked."


"I just found out about Capzasin today and tried it for the first time for my fibromyalgia. I have OTC .025% and while I have only been using it a few hours I am so excited to have found it. The burning sensation is mild compared to my pain and doesn't bother me in the least. I tried it on one thigh to start and make sure it didn't bother me too much. I  had so much relief in the one leg I couldn't wait to use it on the other.

My only complaint is the smell. It has a strong scent of menthol. I am in most pain at night when trying to sleep so I think I will use it then.  I did read that showering can be uncomfortable but also that a milk compress helps."


"A warning for menstruating women...

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


"This is day three for me taking Contrave.  I was really excited to start the med because I knew it was closely related to Wellbutrin.  Years ago I took Wellbutrin to stop smoking and it work great.  So day 1 I weighed 197lb and I'm 5-3.  Felt kind of fuzzy and in the later afternoon a bit nauseous.  Day 2 after sleeping great woke up and took morning med and shortly later felt nauseous but not bad enough to quit.  Absolutely no appetite, had cereal and beef stick for lunch.  Evening dinner was a half of a small steak and green beans.  Woke up with stomach cramps and diarrhea, had 3 bouts.  I attribute it to the high fatty foods I ate.  Weigh in again on the 4/24/17.   Dr. gave me free month supply so I will try it before I buy it."


"I switched to LoSeasonique after taking LoEstrin24 for about a year because I was still getting extreme side effects from my periods (passing out, couldn't get out of bed, etc) and stopped taking it after the first month and a half because by skin was breaking out really bad. This past month was my first month being off birth control in about 3 or 4 years and it was horrible! I started a new pack of LoSeasonique this afternoon to see if my skin will react any differently and if I do end up breaking out again, I will switch back to Loestrin."


"I had my IUD placed about 3 months after having my first kid. I thought it was a good idea since I read that it will stop periods. Since I am nursing I hadn't gotten a period until 1 week after I got mirena. My period had lasted over a week now. That part I do not like. I was probably better off without it. Hopefully this goes away soon."


"I've only been on this for 5 days, and it is not normal at all! lots of sleeping, extremely dizzy, and feel like vomiting!"


"I was prescribed Cymbalta 20mg @1/day, first thing in the morning for severe sciatic pain.  After about 3 days I experienced considerable relief in my pain and stays away until around 8-8:30 PM.  What I don't like is the constant sweating. I can be sitting still and start to sweat. It's all facial sweating and it can last for hours. I spoke with my doctor about it and she prescribed Wellbutrin to be taken with the Cymbalta. I tried it for a few days and that gave me diarrhea so I opted to deal with the sweats. Other side effect is muscle or involuntary jerking. Especially when I'm lying still in bed. I just wish big pharma could invent a pill that doesn't have so many side effects and just do what it's designed to do."


"I've had Nexplanon for 4 months and I don't regret it. I was scared by the negative reviews but I got it anyway. My experience has been SO POSITIVE. Insertion was quick and painless other than the lidocaine shot which stings momentarily. I had been on my normal flow period (day 3) when I got the implant. Bleeding stopped completely within 3 hours. I spotted lightly for about 2 weeks straight beginning 8 days after insertion but then it went away and I've had ZERO bleeding since then. I lost 30lbs almost effortlessly since getting the implant. The first 10 lbs came off in the first week without dieting. I had to work a little for the rest but I think Nexplanon actually helped balance my pre-existing body chemistry problems and made it easier."


"I've been on Nexplanon for 4 months now, and its the best birth control i've used. The pill made me gain weight and I often forgot to take it. I had an iud for almost a year, but it moved in my uterus and had to be removed. My doctor recommended nexplanon. The insertion was painless. I had some spotting for about a month after, which was a pain, but i'm so glad i pushed through it. I experience no side effects; no weight gain, no acne, no mood swings, etc. I don't get a full period, but i do spot a tiny bit randomly. I don't worry about pregnancy at all with this method. I highly recommend."


"Klonopin is a very effective medicine for people such as myself that suffer from debilitating panic disorder and/or PTSD.  This medicine saved me from becoming institutionalized after returning home from the Gulf War back in 1991.  When I first took the medicine, I felt as if I had awoken from a hellish nightmare.  It served me quite well for nearly 20 years because I NEVER abused this medicine.

Be extremely careful and mindful when using Klonopin, take it only as directed by your Doctor.  "


"Works great.

 I was really iffy about it at first reading the reviews but it's going on to the 4th month n my period had stopped. I use to have depression n other problems but after I got the nexplanon it seemed to help n clear it away..

I'm losing weight also which is a plus. That was one of my fears of starting this birth control but it all worked out for me..

Only thing I dislike about this is the acne.  I had it extremely bad for the first could days but went away..

Ppl body's react differently to different Medications."


"Took it for a month. It caused a great deal of anxiety, sweating, and nausea. "


"I had severe soft tissue damage. The inflammation would not subside and was creating other problems as the inflammation was choking nerves. I did a series of 11 injections in the area (12"x12" area) over approximately 8 weeks. It worked. It took about 2 months to feel full effects. My side effects included minimal pain at the injection point for a day or 2 after each injection and major upper body sweating.

Thank God for this medicine as it was the only thing that worked to minimize the inflammation."


"I am pregnant and have been suffering from severe nausea and vomiting.  I have been taking Zofran for about 25 weeks.  The disolving tablet doesn't have an affect on me.  I can't keep it down, even after half an hour I will throw up the medication.  The rare times I can hold it down, it has no affect on me."


"The pill did what it was supposed to. It made my periods tolerable. However, On the fourth pack I started noticing shortness of breath, elevated blood pressure and chest pain.  I had all the tests done and after determining It wasn't a heart attack or blood clot, I went off of the birth control and a day later those symptoms went away."


"I've used Lamictal for years and it's pretty good. I have some side effects, but I don't get so down so often, and it makes me tolerable to live with."


"Got my Kyleena in on 9/7/17. I had a friend drive me in because of all that I was reading about women getting dizzy after the procedure. I was prepared to feel the worst pain of my life but it was nothing but a little discomfort for me (23, never had kids) doctor gave me cytotec to take the night before, and was insistent on me taking it, but after reading up on it I decided not to and to take my chances instead (and I'm happy I did!) afterwards I felt a little feverish the rest of the day with a little bit of cramping on and off for the next few days. I've also had on/off nausea but I've only had it a week so I'm hoping that goes away. Would give it 10 stars but I'm currently going through an extremely severe breakout. It's worth it!"


"Took this for nerve pain and it helped! Except I would rather ache & have nerve pain than deal with the side effects I experienced. I kept getting nightmares that were so horrific, I eventually started sleeping with the lights on & thus not sleeping as good. Within 6 months I gained 20 lbs without changing my eating habits nor physical activity. Looking back, there was a short period of time when my vision was affected as I had trouble focusing. At the time, I just thought my contacts prescription was getting too strong for me. I decided to revisit the list of side effects and sure enough there they all were. I quit taking Nortriptyline that day and eventually the nightmares, blurred vision, & weight gain went away."


"I have been taking Linzess for the past 2 months.  I love it!!  I do not suffer from IBS or constipation anymore.  I take as directed and works perfectly.  I must note that I have to  take hydrochlorothiazide for high blood pressure.  The Linzess did not work when I took the diuretic.  I drank and drank water and all it did was make me pee.  I have noticed less bloating and water retension since I took the Linzess.  I try not to take the diuretic unless I need it.  The Linzess has given me a better quality of life!!  Love it!!!"
