"Although Drysol does work it is also very painful for me. When I apply and even hours after, I have pain in my armpits. They are completely bumpy with red rashes and the burning is the worst part. The morning after I apply it , the redness dies down and so does the pain. The sweating does go away and this product would be perfect without the horrible side effects it gives me! Overall I feel that the product is not worth the pain I go through when and after applying."


"Bydureon helped me get my A1c numbers down. If I would just follow the rules and eat right, it could do wonders. Also, for those getting the nodules at the injection site, put an ice pack on the site for about 15 minutes and you will probably not get a knot. Works wonders for me."


"This medication has been a miracle for me. After loading dose, by day 5 it was like a light switch was toggled. I've been 95% better and feel normal again for first time in 15 years (I'm 36). Nothing else worked and I was miserable with low quality of life. I still have to change my automatic way of thinking: scouting out nearest bathrooms, foregoing meals before social events, etc. I'm gradually branching out from my safe foods list (very small by the time I started Humira). The only side effect had been more severe allergies than usual and a few headaches here and there. The shots are extremely painful for me, but 10-15 seconds of extreme discomfort for 15 Crohn's-free days seems like a very fair trade. So thankful for this medication."


"Hello everyone. I've had my Skyla IUD in for a little over a year now and, honestly, it's probably been the worst year of my life. I've never had children and I forget to take the pill, so I was looking for something more reliable for my lifestyle. I chose Skyla. Upon having it inserted, I was in the most severe pain I've ever been in. I almost passed out driving home. After I got home, I spent the rest of the day on the couch feeling like I was dying. The Skyla IUD has made me develop ovarian cysts, which I never had on previous birth controls, and my sex drive has been almost non-existent. My boyfriend of 3 years works out of town all week and we only spend time together on the weekends, so this has caused issues in our relationship."


"I was on depo 14 years ago. A jerk obgyn gave me this birth control without informing me what it was, he just said a birth control shot. It ruined my life, and partly responsible for my divorce with my ex husband. I only took this birth control for the first three months.

 I gained weight.

 Had psychotic thoughts about killing myself and my children. After that happened I immediately went to my doctor for a antidepressant.

Extreme fatigue.

Had awful mood swings, highly emotional and angry.

I felt dizzy, had hot flashes, and had migraines that were nonstop.

I had weird female issues. Weird growths on my female parts, UTIs, yeast infections, blocked ducts down there, a weird skin growth..

I had welt like acne.

No sex drive..."


"I am 49 and have been on this medication for one cycle. The side effects have not been as bad as I had anticipated. I had a few mild headaches, and bit of bloating, tender breasts and a mild acne breakout, and was a bit tired a few days. I am taking it for a proliferative endometrium and after 4 days being off the medicine, I am getting a period, so it seems to be working as planned. I am taking 200 mg."


"My experience with this medication started when I was 14 yrs old. I knew nothing about this medication and I wish someone would have sat down and told me what exactly this medication does! I decided for the 3rd time to try to get off this medication, I finally decided this time it was enough, so my last shot was Oct 2016. THE BEGINNING was great I was happy go lucky outgoing had my life back after having a beast reduction. No period no cramps gained a few pounds but it was worth it at the time for freedom. NOW at 23 I've been in the hospital and given 3 pills at once. I've soaked threw over 10 pads a day and blood clots after blood clots depression weight gain acne severe cramps dizziness tiredness and withdrawals from this medication."


"For years I could not pinpoint what was causing such cripling anxiety, insomnia and issues with focus and low grade mood issues.  Then after doing some family geneaology, I realized I had inherited traits from a side of the family with the Bipolar Disorder.  I quickly started taking Neurontin and within the span of literally 1 (one) day the issues started to resolve almost immediately.

I can now drive, go out in public, interact with more people, get a great sleep and I have less racing thoughts than ever before.  It has also helped manage and eliminate some nerve pain from a damaged nerve due to lung surgery in 2005. I also take Lamictal for my low grade moods.  I have what is known as Cyclothymia, a unique form of the Bipolar disorder."


"I like this medication, but it causes my prolactin levels to go up. Which in turn cause my breast to leak milky fluid. Dr said he thinks it is from Invega injection. I just cannot take this side effect"


"So I took the 4 pink pills around 8:30 pm I had a small meal with cut up small chicken like a half hour after I took the pills and I would say 10-15 minutes after the meal I throw up all the chicken it was so terrible my stomach pain started right away its the worst its 10:11pm right now & these stomach pains are still going they hurt so much "


"I'm currently on day two. I am eating extremely well; fruits, veggies, and lean meats. Having lots of loose stools and gas on day two. Is this normal? I only take the pill with lunch and dinner since naturally I don't get hungry enough to eat until lunch. Going to keep going and crossing my fingers that with light exercise and portion control I can lose a few pounds. I am currently 5'3" and 148 pounds."


"I was prescribed Elavil for depression and migraine prevention. After taking only two 10mg doses of elavil, I had a severe manic episode. (Note: I am not bi-polar.) I was shaking, pacing, unable to sleep, talking a mile a minute but making no sense, full of anxiety and rage, unable to eat or keep anything down and in a total panic. My husband took me to the ER when my heart rate went through the roof and I became short of breath. The hospital kept me overnight on a heart monitor and gave me sedatives to calm me down. My doctor wants me to try another medication but I am terrified at the prospect. Honestly, I'd rather be depressed and have migraines than try another anti depressant. One bad experience was ENOUGH."


"So In March I got the implant and I am not even exaggerating I've been on my period ever since, all the time like legit all day everyday I'm spotting some days its super light other days its like Im having my period I'm giving this till the end of the month. I haven't broken out and haven't had crazy weight gain or mood swings its just the constant on my period that is bugging me. Like I said I'll give it to the end of the month until I decide to get it out."


"65 years old, never had a urinary tract infection before, (now I know what they are!) probably had it for months, related symptoms to nurse friend, she said to call DR., sounds like a UTI. Doctor gave Macrobid prescription, 20 hours later after first couple capsules, had 99% relief.  Continued taking for two weeks and didn't have side effects, as far as I could determine. I won't wait months before calling physician next time."


"I have taken Propanolol for 10 years for Extreme Tremors in my hands.  I had DBS surgery in 2007 for my right hand, it was a miracle for me. The Propanolol helped me a lot.  In 2014 I had DBS again for my left hand, and have done great!  My Neurologist started lowering the Prop.  My b/p began to elevate so my PCP upped my b/p med from 20 mg to 40 mg and I have been fine.  Now the Neuro. Wants me to stop the prop. Completely and have PCP take my Lisinoprel higher.  Went to PCP today and he said
He'd prefer I stay on the Propan.  I was off it for 5days and just felt jittery and my left hand was shaking again.  So I took the Propan. This afternoon and feel much better this evening?   Is this okay?  I've had NO side effects ever!"


"Started on 1/7/11 at 332lbs. Took the 30mg for 60 days and lost 34lbs. Weight loss had been much slower so I decided to take a break to let it get out of my system. Been off for a week, going back on it Thursday, which would have given me a 10 day break. Also I changed my whole diet and now walk 30mins on the treadmill everyday. You must change your eating habits and exercise, or you will gain it all back plus more."


"hydrcodone 10/500 works great for my fibromyalgia symptoms....especially at night to get a better sleep.  But from experiennce it is very addictive...I only take it on days when i absolutely need it"


"I loved Invokanamet, my A1C went from 9.3 to 7.2 and my blood sugars never went over 120 fasting or after meals. But the the yeast infections made me go insane. They lasted about 2-3 weeks and I got one every month! I wanted to die it was so unbearable. I also woke up feeling like I was stranded in the desert for days every morning but that wasn't too bad. DR switched to Januvia over 3 weeks ago and my blood sugars went from 120 to 350! Going back to the doctor on Thursday to try something else, if i could take hold of the YI i'd never get off Invokanamet"


"I have been on many pills over and over trying to get my depression/bipolar under control. I would find something but then it would only work for a couple of months then back to square one. Ever since I was put on the Emsam patch I have loved it, I feel more alive, and wanting to get out and do things. I feel better about myself, I do my hair, makeup, and feel like I am part of society again. I have energy and the food restriction hasn't been that big of an issue, it has been a healthy change for me. Yes it is expensive and can have high copays but worth it. I was paying more for all the doctor copays and medicine copays then I am now for the Emsam patch. I would recommend it to everyone!"


"Was prescribed Clonazepam for short term use while adjusting to Lexapro. It worked quite well to keep panic at bay with it's long half life. Prescribed .5 mg 3X daily, but I only took as needed as I was wary of dependence. Lexapro is now working great for me and my extra Clonazepams are fun for weekend relaxation. I can feel their additives  quality just with occasional use. I would never recommend for long term daily use. That's a dead end road to hell."


"If you like to bleed all the time use Nexplanon."


"I've now been taking these pills for almost a full 4 weeks. Still working 100%. Aka still no baby growing inside me. Still no side effects. Love them, and so cheap. Perfect."


"I starting having panic attacks around age 19 and I was & constantly heading to ER thinking I was gonna die. First I was put on a low dose of Xanax with only being told by doc that I was just a little anxious. It wasn't til I got pregnant with my 3rd son at age 28, that my OB/GYN knew exactly what I needed and put me on paxil. I remember after a couple of weeks of being on it, I woke up feeling like a normal person again. I actually noticed the sound of birds chirping outside instead of waking up in fear! I have been on Paxil now for about 15 years ( I got off of it for about 4 years and stayed  anxiety free til I was robbed at gunpoint and anxiety came back) and it has truly saved my life!"


"Now have 8 weeks completed with Otezla. The side effects are getting better. Less trips to the bathroom, nausea gone. Skin is getting better. Still have visible patches on my legs, but they are less angry looking. The itching has been reduced also. Taking 30mg twice a day."


"This is my second time starting Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo. This birth control is pretty much the only thing that works for my adult moderate/severe acne. The first time I took it after about 3 months my skin was vastly improved and after 6 months my skin was completely clear. Then after 12 months my pharmacist put me on the generic (Tricira Lo) which is a bad idea. My skin freaked out with cysts all over my chin and near my nose area. I'm on my second month of tri-cyclen and am waiting for my skin to clear up again :("


"The longer I was taking this the more breathless I became.  My dose was halved and it was great for a while but the breathlessness is creeping back. Bought myself a pill cutter and am going to half it again. Also take amitriptyline and indapamide originally for headaches but now for high blood pressure too."


"After debilitating nausea and vomitting from radiation and chemotherapy and after trying all the normal drugs like zofran and some others I tried marinol. It was by the far the most effective for treating nausea and vomitting of any pharmaceutical. It gives a nice pleasant buzz as well. The problem for me was the over-stimulation of my appetite. I've never felt hunger like this in my entire life. Anyway, people who need this drug could probably use the extra appetite anyway."


"I have tried every ADHD drug medication available, both brand and generic (Ritalin XR, Ritalin IR, Adderall XR and IR, generic mixed amphetamine salts, Daytrana, Vyvanse, Strattera, some I can't even remember, if it exists, I've almost certainly tried it. ) Focalin XR is the only one that works. Naturally, that also means that insurance companies don't want to cover it. If you're trying to get it covered and they're dragging their feet, don't give up! You have to jump through a lot of hoops and you have to fight every step of the way. Get your doctor to help you and talk to them. Do NOT give up. Insurance companies love to make it as difficult as possible for people to get effective meds. Don't let them do it."


"I've been taking Topamax for about a year and a half now and it has drastically cut down the frequency of my migraines and that is so worth the side effects I've noticed. Yes, I've had the tingles and some facial twitches, I've lost about 20 lbs. and have trouble with word retrieval & memory... but is it worth it?  Absolutely!  I currently take 250 mg/day -- all at night to help minimize the noticeability of the side effects. A good option, IMO."


"Having tried 8 different pills, plus Implanon (implant), I can finally say I found a pill that works for me. It's changed my life. Sounds dramatic but it's true - before, no matter which pill, I was experiencing excruciating cramps, back aches, mood swings and very heavy bleeding for at least 6 days. Lo Lo Estrin Fe has changed all that. I don't have a period at all which doesn't worry me. I'm happy not to go through that pain every month. Now I have a few small signals that I would normally be having my period (slight back ache, slightly more emotional)
Overall I'm really happy with it. I think it's down to the dosage level - the very low amount of estrogen works really well for me. 2 years and counting!"


"It works amazingly for my skin. Saved my life. While Pro-active dried the crap out of my face, a few months down the line Benzaclin saved the day! I had absolutely no breakouts. Wonderful medication, cannot say enough about it."


"I feel like there is a lot of misinformation and bad reviews of all IUDs on the internet so I wanted to share a more positive experience. I'm currently 22 and switched over from taking birth control pills to Skyla about a month ago. When I got the IUD it was slightly painful for about 2 seconds when they insert it-- then it's over. People talking about how excruciating it is truly blows my mind. Maybe I have a higher pain tolerance than others, but honestly even if it was horrible pain it's over in 2 seconds, you can withstand anything for that short of a time. For the rest of that day I decided to take off work and just rested with a heating pad. I spotted for a few weeks, but now I don't even know it's there!"


"I've been on Accutane since a month and half now and honestly I don't have much side effect except dry lips and skin (not to much) but I can see that my acne improve and I  have almost none on my forehead anymore.. It's not 100% clear yet. I started on 10mg and every week  I increase by 10mg, so now on week five I am on 50 mg can't wait to finish the treatment I already feel confident"


"Prilosec replaced a treatment that consisted of 800 mg Cimetidine about a week ago and seems to be doing the trick nicely."


"I find I get four hours sleep. That is it. And i take 1500mg at night! still does nothing"


"I have Bipolar, most the time being on Seroquel has helped settle my racing thoughts, helps me sleep at night, and helps me regulate my moods. At times I still get the highs and lows but not as severe without Seroquel. The side effects that I get is dry mouth, dry skin, increased appetite and High Cholestrol. Most of the time this medication helps me out."


"I took one tablet before bed as instructed. I was doing a bowel prep before a specialist ultrasound to assess bowel endometriosis. I woke the next morning feeling fine. Immediately needed the toilet, which was fine. But pretty soon the nausea hit. I ended up going to the toilet at least 5 times that day. The product definitely worked but boy the nausea was no fun - all day, intense waves, and stomach pain also. I would NOT use Dulcolax again"


"Ladies! I just got skyla put in yesterday morning. So it's been a little over 24 hours for me. I was freaking out because a lot of reviews said it was so painful to insert, I even read one where she said she cried afterwards. In my opinion it really wasn't that bad. I took a 600 mg ibuprofen and I also took a tramadol, which I'm prescribed to for back pain, before I went in to the dr's. It did hurt, for literally about 2 seconds, but nothing like some of the reviews said. It was more like a sharp quick pressure pain. It came and went immediately. Very quick. I'm currently still spotting very lightly and do have some cramps but they are just like very light period cramps, nothing a little Advil won't take care of."


"Oh my! I have experienced bloating, gas and abdominal pain since taking this medicine.  The infection does not seem to be clearing up and I only have one day left of a 7 day course of 500mg twice a day.  I am tired, have insomnia; and will not take this again.  My abdominal pain is extreme! I have been up since 3am and took it this morning; immediately took a bulking laxative after, to put something in my stomach. Will see if this helps!"


"I have been on Zoloft for quite a few years. I absolutely love it, except for recently (the last few months) I have been getting headaches if I miss a couple. Otherwise, I've had no other side effects and it has helped with the suicidal thoughts. It's helped me gain perspective and think about my feelings instead of just automatically feeling down."


"So I finally gave in and started taking Escitalopram for my Anxiety. I've been living with it for the last 12 years diagnosed at age 20. I'm a healthy male, enjoy jogging and in general eat very healthy. I'm taking Lamotragine (lamictal) for Bipolar disorder as well.

I wouldn't say there was any tough phases for me to be honest. I'm on day 7 now and all I've had was some headaches after waking up that lasted till the afternoon. They subsided after the 3rd day. I haven't noticed any increase in anxiety or loss in sex drive yet either. I'm looking forward to experience the full effect/benefits of this medication"


"So I'm 18, and have been on prescribed fentanyl from 12.5 mcg and now am up to 100mcg p/hour. I haven't had a BM in WEEKS, and was just about ready to go to the ER When I discovered I had the dulcolax suppository in a drawer. My goodness, let me tell you that it gave me the only relief I've had since this started. About 3 weeks ago. No stomach cramps like from pills, just slight back pain until the rock hard stool had been completely eradicated. If your in an opiod constipated person, even if you find it a little degrading, USE THE SUPPOSITORIES. You can avoid all the cramps and associated symptoms until its finally time to pass, though your bum WILL hurt afterwards if you passed a grapefruit like myself. Hope it helped! Don't judge!"


"I had some sudden Insomnia problems this winter. Took a while to find out the underlying cause was anxiety. At first since I only thought it was Insomnia, the Ambien I got prescribed didn't work. I was going on 5 days with ONLY an hour of sleep so I visited a Psych. Vistaril worked that night and ever since. At first I took it as needed (2-3/day), then after a couple weeks I was just doing 1 at night for sleep. Crazy dreams similar to Benadryl.  I ran out 3 weeks ago and wanted to see how I would fare. Not good. Just got it prescribed again and looking to jump back into a proper sleep cycle and keep it as a safety stash. It's not 100%, there may be a night here & there, but it felt like a literal life saver rescuing me from 5sleepless days

M/22"


"I have tried Enbrel for 9 months and it worked great for both my psoriasis and the arthritis. BUT last July I stopped using it because I wanted to get my wife pregnant.
And to be sure there was no side effect by using it. And since I stopped using it, the psoriasis and arthritis have come back massively and seems worse then ever. This is a really bad side effect. Also I have got some very weird infections/viruses, etc. that healthy people normally don't get. I have had Zoster Shingles, and Pavovirus. These are immune related illnesses and they must have come because of the lowered immune system. "


"Been on this medicine for 2 weeks now and definitely starting to feel less anxious and I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill anymore!! Also not as afraid in social situations and ocd that someone will break in my house and kidnap me and my kids is gone and I can actually sleep at night now. I hope this continues because living in constant fear is no way to live!"


"I woke up Thursday morning with a sore throat and then became achy, fatigued and feverish as the day went on. The next morning (Friday) I went to see my doctor and was given a swab test and it came back positive for Influenza A. He prescribed me Tamiflu and I took the first dose around noon Friday and the second dose at about 11pm. When I woke up Saturday morning my fever was gone and the aches were very mild. By Saturday I began to regain energy and was able to move about the house without having to lay down every 5 minutes. By Sunday morning nearly all symptoms had left. Tamiflu truly worked for me and caused little to no side effects."


"I lost 130lbs in one year using adipex. Along with the pill I had a good diet and regular exercise. It works if you stick with it!"


"I was a junior in High School. Because of moderate acne throughout high school, my mom thought it would be a good idea for me to go on Accutane during the last part of my junior year. I took the first 30 days of the prescription, noticing my lips had cracked and bled horribly. Smiling was no longer possible. With the first refill came a notice about "notifying your Doctor if diabetes runs in your family". I told my doctor, my dad and his brother both died from diabetes complications. I was told I had "NOTHING" to worry about. I took Accutane for two months.  Three years later, when I was 19, I was diagnosed with Diabetes. "


"I am 18 and I have been on Nexplanon for 4 months now. I have light irregular periods and some spotting. I have a small scar on my arm from the application and bandage that peeled off some skin, but I can live with that. It definitely is very effective, it does the job. But I have gained about 20-30 pounds since I have been on it."


"Wife has diabetes 2 was in hospital was prescribed glipizide for blood sugar on release. First night she almost died from it as it lowered her sugar to 40. Lucky at 4am called ambulance and they
 injected her to raise her sugar and she slowly came back."


"I have been on Effexor XR 75mg for two months now, after previously being on Zoloft and Celexa. The two other medications were not effective for my anxiety and depression, and they tended to make me either tired or foggy regardless of the time of day that I took them. I expected the tiredness to wear off, but the foggy feeling never did. My doctor prescribed Effexor XR, and it has been very effective for both my depression and anxiety symptoms. I am not 100% perfect, and I still have anxiety, but in the appropriate moments. The moments of unreasonable anxiety attacks are fewer and far between since starting the medicine. I had no negative side effects, and I take it every morning at 9am."


"I was prescribed this medicine in 2004 to help with depression.  Instead of getting better I progressively got worse and my psychiatrist's answer was to put me on Xanax.  Long story short, I ended up in a psychiatric hospital.  Turns out I have bipolar II and since I wasn't on a mood stabilizer I essentially lost my mind.  Horrible experience."


"This drug was wonderful for my pain and psorisis but caused horrible depression so I wanted to tell people to watch for mood changes. I thought it was only me but my rheumatologist told me this medication now has a black box warning for severe depression. Please be aware and watch for changes in personality. Sadly I had to discontinue use."


"I had been using Flomax for the past 3 years and my urologist suggested I try this new medicine Rapaflo. Well I took it for 5 days and it became very difficult to urinate so I switched back to Flomax and all is flowing well again."


"I just started Cymbalta 5 days ago for chronic neck pain as well as depression. The first few days were hell, I will admit that. I have had every side effect- nausea, dry mouth, constipation, extreme fatigue. But now at day 5, everything is starting to wear off and my neck honestly feels so much better and it's only been a few days. The only thing that seems to be sticking around is restlessness at night. I can fall asleep fine, but I wake up at around 3 am and can't get back to sleep. But I'm sure my body will adjust. I would suggest sticking with Cymbalta and pushing through the side effects if you can. This is supposed to be a great med."


"It has made a huge difference. I've tried everything including Lyrica, Elavil (which made me gain weight). Those were helpful but I get the best results with 600 mg Neurontin 3 x daily and flexeril 10mg 3 x daily or as needed."


"I have not had any issues with this drug. I've been taking it for over 3 years..I do know that when I eat right, and put less salt in my system, my blood pressure get's really low, like two numbers at the top and bottom, so I will take it every other day which will regulate it to 120/80"


"Stuffy nose. Slight headache.  Could not ejaculate. Other than that, good."


"I got Mirena inserted about 3 monthes ago and I am so happy that I did. I had been on 4 different types of birth control

pills and each of them affected me differently. I gained weight, had terrible mood swings, didn't have a sex drive, and was always fatigued. Now that I have gotten Mirena everything has changed... I lost almost 10 pounds now back to where I was before I ever started the pills! I weigh around 122 and when I was on the pills I weighed 132 and I was miserable. Mirena has made me have light bleeding here and there but my doctor said that it is just my body adjusting. I am very satisfied with it and I hope that it treats me well for the next 5 years!"


"I'm 51 and my partner is 47. He has had some difficulty with full erections on and off his whole life. For awhile now, its has been more marshmallow than wood. Things have declined. I encouraged him to see his doctor. As a result, we have just tried the very first 10 mg tab. Result? Incredible erection, great sex for us both, and most important - he feels like himself. He doesn't feel like something strange has taken over his experience. Nothing artificial about it. More like being restored. And no side effects so far. We are both very pleased."


"2 months into using Nuvaring, I found myself never wanted to leave the house, everyone and everything annoyed and frustrated me. After a fight with my best friend I had realized that I wasn't myself. Nuvaring was the only difference in my life and I stopped using it that day. Withing days my mood adjusted back to regular. But I will never put up with that depression again, not saying that happens to everyone."


"I reccently started the Yasmin pill and at first I honestly didn't think I would be able to carry on with it because it was making me feel so nauseous! I also got really bad headaches which caused me to be really moody. However, my doctor told me to give it a few weeks to settle and for my system to get used to it. I was not happy about this let me say! I wanted to scream at her to feel how ill I felt. It got better though on the fifth day I woke up and I felt fine all of a sudden, all of the side effects I was feeling had just gone. I had terrible skin and it has make my skin so much better and I feel fine now. If you're taking it and you're feeling ill like I did - I know it feels like crap but honestly just hold on cause it will go."


"I have now been on Trulicity about 18 months. When I started injecting Trulicity my sugar levels were between about 15 and 27 (old units) for which I also used 80 units if long acting insulin in the morning and 80 units at night. Plus Novarapid which I had with lunch and my evening meal. I felt so ill that if I had carried on I would have got some serious complications with my life. Trulicity is hard at first for me especially the nausea and the stomach pains but you have to persevere for a few months until your body gets used to this drug. Anyway skipping forward 18 months I am now 2 St 7lbs lighter my sugar levels are constant at about 7/8 plus I don't take any insulin at all now. I am very careful what I eat I would recommend Trulicity."


"I have two ruptured discs in my back which cause severe pain.  Lortab has been a great pain reliever.  I would recommend it to anyone with a severe pain problem."


"Started working within a day"


"After 8 days of taking this Med I have gained 4 pounds. Swelling in my feet and bruising. I got complete relief from pain but I am experiencing too many side effects. I won't be taking this Med any longer."


"I've used this drug 2x's. First time I lost about 20 pounds, which was awesome but after prescription ended, I gained most of the weight back even after I swore I'd never do that. 2nd time I used, no real results, guess my body adjusted to the drug. Each time I took for approx 4 months. My suggestion, achieve weight loss the old fashioned way, workout and make smarter food choices. Track what you eat too. I know that choice isn't anyones favorite, but its natural and much  better than artificial drugs. This drug causes insomnia, and crazy mood swings, and irrational thoughts and behaviors. Do yourself a favor, don't use this. While the promise of quick weight loss is so tempting, the long term effects outweigh the positives."


"Had serious chronic sinusitis with inflammation in the upper sinus and in the nose. The medicine helped significantly but I get a painful side effect, my whole upper muscles around the shoulders and neck became very tight, stiff and sore. "


"I have had a good experience with this medication... Gain a little weight but nothing major."


"I am a 31 yr. Old woman and I'm on day 12 of the 14 day starter dose. I'm 5'8" and I started at 304.6lbs. Today I weigh 290.4lbs and I have lost 2 inches in my waist. I have high blood pressure and and my left leg is held together by screws so I can only do light to moderate exercise. I'm eating 1700-1800 Cal a day and drinking lots and lots of water. In my opinion, Qsymia is so far so good and very expensive. You pay for what you get."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Effective, HOWEVER it is gross! I threw up about a 1/4th cup of it each time. I still was ok for my procedure but maybe because I am a small person. The drink was terrible getting down. Then about 15-20 min later the river started flowing and I just sat for 2 hours till it was done enough for me to rest. I had chills, minor cramping, and severe spats of nausea but it went within the first hour after drinking the drink and water."


"I just got this prescribed to me this afternoon.  I have been really sick for a week and not sleeping well.  Turns out I had a sinus and double ear infection.  I usually don't like anything with codeine because it makes me nauseous.  But so far no nausea, not helping a whole lot with the coughing but I don't really care either."


"My husband was diagnosed with NSCLC in late April 2016.  Started on chemo treatments in May 2016. Received 6 rounds of chemo.  His first scan, I believe it was after 2 rounds of chemo, came back "great news", cancer had shrunk & some spots disappeared (or were hiding). He continued with chemo and had another scan in November 2016, now there were some new spots.  His oncologist said he could not receive any further chemo treatments and wanted him to start on opdivo.  First infusion of opdivo was November 23, 2016.  By Thansgiving, November 24, he was not feeling well, so Thanksgiving was cancelled.  On December 5, he had severe stomach pain, so he went to ER and was admitted.  He was discharged on December 8.
He passed away Dec 14, 2016."


"I have always suffered tiredness depression whenever I didn't get a good night's sleep. I was sent to a specialist re an unrelated matter with chronic sinusitis. He said he diagnosed myofascial disorder and prescribed Endep 10g and I couldn't believe the difference. No more waking up in a haze and feeling anxious. I have since had a difficult marriage break up to deal with and increased the dose to 25mg. I don't know how I would have coped without this drug. I hope to get back to the 10mg once I have my life back once settlement is done and I move on."


"I love Nuvaring! I have been on it for a year and a half and it's great. I was on Yaz before for 2 years then I switched because I had gained a lot of weight. Yaz helped with my acne..now I break out a lot but that's okay. I never had problems remembering to take my pill but I still cannot imagine myself going back. I love this birth control but I do agree that it is very expensive. Even with insurance I'm still paying $40 a month for it..but hey its better than paying for a baby! I have had some concerns with my period. I missed it one month out of nowhere after having a normal period every month. Doc said it was normal to miss one. Overall, great birth control!"


" I'm 19 years old and started taking this birth control after my first one worked perfectly for a few months, until I began to get my period every 8 days. I've been on this pill for about two weeks and I already hate it. I'm constantly moody, depressed and over emotional. It's effecting my relationship between my family, friends and boyfriend. Doesn't help with acne, I've never had acne till I began taking this. Also have severe pain everyday in my lower stomach area."


"I had a cold with a stuffy nose so I don't know why my Doctor prescribed this for me.  I wish I could give this product a zero. It did absolutely nothing for me except give me severe nosebleeds. I would love to contact the company to complain but I can't find their contact information anywhere. Worst 50 bucks I ever spent."


"Have had complex partial seizure disorder for over 40 years.  My main medicine that held me for years was Phenobarbital.  When I started having breakthrough seizures, Tegretol was the secondary medicine that has held me okay for the past 4 years.  I tried Tegretol XR first but for me, I felt very tired, some dizziness, poor memory, and very bland.  When the Dr switched me to regular Tegretol, it was totally opposite!  I felt alive again, memory sharp, out riding horses, happy as a lark and felt like my good old self.  People should know there are many different medicines for epilepsy these days and also that there is a Tegretol XR (long-acting)."


"I gained 57 pounds since Oct. 2012. I was in a accident that broke my legs and was also in a unhealthy relationship with a food addict. I am just starting this medication but feel great.  I am on a strict diet and exercise program plus drinking 80oz of water a day.  I am hoping I will be back to my normal 125-130 self soon!"


"I started my period at 8 years old and it's always been a nightmare. I would have such heavy periods that I didn't go to school for the first three days. I eventually had to become homeschooled due to period. I had cramps that sent me to the hospital and could never hold anything down. I've been to so many doctors who just put me on birth control which made me gain weight and feel very nauseous. It worked, it stopped my period but of course that's not healthy. Ten years later I still have the same symptoms however, a doctor gave me the holy grail  combination. She told me to mix ibuprofen and tranexamic acid together for the first days. This combination, is amazing.Only take at the first sight of bleeding it can push it back."


"Glad to know I'm not the only one. But I was taking amoxicillin for a UTI and soon after I started feeling extremely itchy. I bought the Monistat 7 and my first treatment was horrific. After inserting the cream I just laid there with my legs trembling from the horrible burn and itch. It took me hours to finally get to sleep. I couldn't get comfortable in bed to save my life. My second treatment was similar but it wasn't as bad. Holding a pillow or blanket between my legs tightly against my crotch area helped deal with the symptoms. I'm feeling the next five days on this horrible stuff, I won't be using it if I experience a yeast infection again."


"Very good medicine, after first month almost no side effects."


"The pain sucks but this is why us women just need to take care of ourselves I understand some are prone to them but wouldn't you rather go through a couple days of pain than having to deal with a damn YI ? I've had a YI before and I was prescribed a cream from the doctor and she also gave me a pill .. This time I used the monistat 7 and they're both similar !!!!! Same pain same problems for a couple days but this product cures you just as much as a prescribed cream would ! My advice would be to grow a pair and suck it up and to just take care of yourself better ! If you can go through birth or cramps honestly you can go through this tiny bit of pain its honestly not that bad and it cures you !!!"


"oxycontin gave me back some quality of life by alleviating my arthritic pain, I have hearniated diskd in my neck and it releaves the headaches which are terribly painful"


"I am 56 years old and have been about 35 lbs overweight for about 15 years.    I was diagnosed in February with Type 2 Diabetes.   I was previously on Phentermine but did not have good results.   My doc changed it to Phendametrazine and I am rarely hungry and have lots of energy and better work outs!   I have lost  20 lbs.    15 more to go and I feel fantastic!"


"I got Implanon three years ago and just got it taken out today. Insertion was very easy and very quick, it did not hurt, they numb your arm. I would say that the only thing I did not care for with the Implanon was the somewhat occasional spotting. I never really got a regular period which was nice but I did need to carry a panty liner with me for just in case. I would say that I got spotting about every other month and it would last anywhere from three to six days. I know that some people have said that they had weight gain and so did I, however I went from 88 pounds to 96 pounds (I am only 5ft tall) so I needed to gain that weight, I was unhealthy. I have always had acne and oily skin so it is hard to say if it effected that."


"I was dx w hypersomnia after having a sleep study. I usually fall asleep fine but wake up many times throughout the night, resulting in extreme fatigue during the day. I have excellent "sleep hygiene" ) usually go to bed and get up at the same time, have cut out caffeine and drink plenty of water and so on). I'm a nurse and student, both while being a single mother of two; I asked about this medication because I want to be more efficient with my schooling. In have no problems reading, but retaining information was difficult, also falling asleep during meetings at times. This medicine has helped me keepnfocused without the stimulant effects of feeling wired. On days I don't do schoolwork I try not take it, so my Tolerance threshold lowers."


"I started taking Zocor about a week ago. I have had no problems. There is a numbness in my upper left leg on the outside of the thigh. Anyway, have had no other problems so I am rating it a 10."


"I am 25 years old and I've been taking Solodyn for four days now.  I usually wake up with a few new pimples on my face but have not seen any of that since on this pill.  I'm extremely happy since I've been suffering with breakouts since the age of fourteen.  A side effect would be nausea but at this point in my life anything is worth having clear skin and not being self-conscious.  Another thing to add on is that I have also been using Onexton which is a daily face gel."


"I have been on NuvaRing for 5 months.  Within a month I noticed a decrease in my sex drive, and I've had vaginal dryness which makes sex painful.  Bad sex has effected other parts of my life."


"Great product. My skin started to clear up just hours after I applied the first layer. I have always had very oily skin and I'm guessing this is why I didn't have any irritation like dryness or redness to occur. I use it morning and night. I don't even use a moisturizer! Epiduo works great for my mild acne. I would recommend this product to anyone with acne."


"Good antihistamine. Can cause drowsiness, but it works quickly and shrinks nasal swelling better than some of the other choices. I take a newer antihistamine during the day, but this helps a ton at night when the other wears off and the pollen is still bad."


"I am 56 year old female with Severe osteoporosis and osteoarthritus .My Ortho and Gyno Dr.said My bones were so frail I had no choice but take forteo.I started in 2015 and after a few months of just over all weakness and being sick all the time low BP , I went to my PC Dr. After blood work he said your immune System has crashed get off the forteo! I was home bound had pneumonia etc. Now over a year later my bones went from -2.9 to -3.1 He finally agreed I have to get back on it so...I'm having sweats and sever stomach issues chills ache in my bones . Over all not well feeling .Has anyone had any of these  side effects? I'm happy for the ones who can take it with no side effects. !Hope this helps someone and maybe get answers. Blessings"


"I was actually surprised to learn I had stage 4 endometriosis along with 2 endometrioma's and a dermoid cyst. I had always had a poochy gut and severe menstrual cramps since I was 16. I am 27 now and have been pain free for the last 5 months on Lupron Depot. I had a laproscopic cystectomy and a laparotomy this year. I did suffer side effects of hot flashes and mood swings but was prescribed 1mg estrogen daily and I'm pretty much normal! In about 6 weeks I will begin trying to conceive my first child! The Lupron and my Doctor have been a blessing!"


"I'm 17 years old and i have been taking vyvanse for 4 years now and i take 70mg. It works so well but the side effects are awful. My back, neck, and wrists hurt and i can't fall asleep and i have killer head aches and i have shortness of breath and i become socially awkward. Like typically im a very sociable person but when i take my meds i don't talk."


"I have been on every NSAID there is, both prescription and non-prescription. Finally a doctor suggested I try Voltaren. I've been on it about 8 years now, and it has helped me keep my narcotic usage to a minimum. It helps the severe  osteoarthritis pain in my joints along with the muscle pain I have."


"I developed fibromyalgia recently. I had been on low dose of a similar medication (Doxepin) for long time, mainly for a sleep disorder. The neurologist I saw for my fibromyalgia suggested switching from Doxepin to Amitriptyline. Overall, I am glad I made the switch, as my fibromyalgia is now much more manageable. I take 35 mg of amitriptyline nightly. Initially very sedating, but now less so. It has also helped my irritable bowel syndrome. On the negative side, it has led to constipation problems, and my irritable bladder (bladder urgency) is now much more chronic, which is surprising because amitriptyline has higher anticholinergic properties. But my pharmacist feels that Doxepin must have helped me more with that. NOTE: Beware of combining amitriptyline with Detrol LA (for bladder urgency)."


"I've been on Prozac since April 2011. Before that I was on Lexapro for 5 years. Lexapro helped with my depression, but did nothing for my anxiety.

I have post traumatic stress disorder, and a side effect of PTSD is obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression, trichotillomania and binge eating.

Prozac has almost eliminated all of that. No more depression, very mild anxiety. My OCD and trichotillomania are under control.
I have also lost 50 lbs but I do not know if this is because of the medication.

The only side effect I experienced was being trapped in nightmares. This only happened the first month I started."


"I just want to know when the spotting will go away and i do get cramps here and there. When they inserted it i swear the cramp is no joke but i mean they are messing with your uterus..Idk how girls do labor!! im sure thats way worse. Long story short i have yet to have sex im actually sort of scared just cause idk how its going to feel but if all goes well and the spotting stops il definitely go back on here and leave a review for the most part come on girls skyla is way better then having children. Remember all bodies are different so they obviously will react differently!"


"I have been taking Oxycodone 30 mg for about 4 years now.  I have chronic pain issues (arthritis, scoliosis, neuropathy, bulging disc, bone spurs and many other pain causing conditions).  I also have been diagnosed as having rectal cancer Oct of 2014.  I have had only one bad side effect with this medicine and that is constipation. I now take Miralax every day and I no longer have constipation.  This medicine does take away the pain.  I am glad I no longer take Vicodin as it was wrecking my liver and kidneys because of the Acetaminophenin."


"In reading the reviews of this birth control,I see a lot of been on it a week, a month, couple months.  I see a lot of when Watson distributed it,etc.

I'm one of those who've had bad experience with it. While yes its done it's job in preventing pregnancy, here I am after 18mos on it and I've decided enough is enough.

Pros: no pregnancy, no periods,minimal spotting

Cons: 30 lb weight gain, mood swings, nausea induced migraines, lethargic, zero energy,constant feeling of not enough sleep, unusual body pains, painful sex,emotional, looking and feeling pregnant numerous times (even having people ask), increased appetite,pregnancy symptoms, etc

As a Mother and nanny, the cons are huge for me as they've greatly impacted me."


"Went to the ER at the local hospital for excruciating back pain, & found my BP to be 213/103 which was enough to have me admitted. Spent 3 days in there, & 50mg twice a day of Hydralazine was one of the meds they put me on. Taking these with a meal, & glass of milk to try to ease the side effects barely helps. I get really drowsy with body aches where I want to take a nap, but can't sleep, & find myself sitting staring at the floor a lot, unable to concentrate, really short of breath to the point where just walking 50 feet becomes laboring. On a positive note my diastolic reading has dropped over 50 points. As for the back pain, I found out a previous blood pressure medicine had drained my body of Potassium, Once my levels were normal the pain went away."


"This medication is a beast. Be very careful if you take this for your Bipolar II with possible mixed episodes.

While on it I tried to cut my vein through.  I was on
120 mg per-day was the dose!

Withdrawal symptoms = Diarrhea , feeling ill, shaking hands, concentration problems, Brain Zaps, hearing noises like moving sands in my both ears, stomach aches, feels like there is a direct current connected to my brain with signals going from left to right and vice versa.

BE CAREFUL USING IT! Specially if you are that special type of Bipolar II with dominant depression symptoms!"


"Tried Methotrexate twice and both times it caused Chronic Ulcerative Colitis so my consultant put me on Hydoxychloroquine. Started on 2 tablets a day but after 3 weeks I cut it down to 1 as it was upsetting my stomach. It halved my inflamation in about 5 weeks! BUT! After taking it for 3 months I began to get very constipated and after 4 months I had blood when I passed a stool so I stopped taking it, as I thought my UC was coming back.  Now 6 weeks later I am suffering with chronic indigestion and have to drink several sachets of Macrogol per day to be able to go to the toilet. My doctor's not given me any indication as to how long this will last or if my stomach's  been permanently damaged so I am going to make an appointment to find out!"


"I have Lupus. This is letting me live a normal life."


"Singulair was wonderful for my allergies.  My allergies are only in my ears causing popping, crackling, clogging and pulling.  From the 1st dose I felt better and kept improving until my ears were better than they had been in months.  Unfortunately, on day 10 I developed tremors in my hands and lower arms.  The tremors turned into shaking when I tried to use my arms/hands.  My legs felt detached from my body.  So it was wonderful for my allergies but horrible for side effects.  Hopefully it won't take too long to get out of my system so the tremors stop."


"I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in August 2005.  I am 33 years old now.  I tried Enbrel that worked for a little while in combination with methotrexate.  Then on to Humira and methotrexate.  After that didn't work I started Remicade infusions with Arava in April 2007.  I have been pain free ever since.  I have not had one flare up or stiffness since.  Occasionally when the weather is bad I know it is coming but that is expected with arthritis.  Remicade is wonderful."


"Insertion was slightly uncomfortable, but nothing unbearable. I bled intermittently for the first week and I was an emotional mess.. I almost ended my relationship. These symptoms subsided after seven days and I did not get my period again. I did not experience any decline in sex drive, however my appetite went through the roof! I was constantly hungry and thinking about food. I put on 5kg (11 pounds) in four months, which really affected me. I had the Implanon removed one month ago, and instantly switched over to Nuvaring. Within 48 hours my appetite had returned to normal and I lost 1kg in two weeks without effort. As the Implanon is cheap, effective and simple I'd recommend giving it a go, but beware that it may cause significant side effects."


"I have been taking trileptal off and on for 13 years. I tried keppra for a short time but I developed anxiety at night. Switched back to trileptal I've gone from 3 or 4 seizures a month to seizure free. I don't really experience to many side effects just a bit more sleepy during the day."


"I had been taking Lo Losterin before starting Junel FE but had to switch per my insurance. I've been taking Junel since late July but since starting it, I've been hoping I would start feeling better.

Constantly feeling nausea is the #1 problem for me. It doesn't matter how accurately I take the medication, at some point in every day, I feel sick. And then I start to get paranoid and wonder if I'm pregnant and feeling morning sickness.

#2 is the irregular periods. I've never had a period that was consistent so I thought this would be a good way to regulate - boy was I wrong! My period will start in the middle of my active pills, be there for 3 days and then come back for 3 days on my iron pills. WHAT THE HECK, Vern?"


"A life saver for me in being able to handle the pain and discomfort, and I can still do a days work."


"Works well on me and my children. I have found it works in a few days. I have used it for chest infections and middle ear, and had great results with all my family."


"I'm a 59 year old woman with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and I've been taking this medication for 3 months with no side effects at all. And I was expecting some so I've been pleasantly surprised. It does help with the pain but we are just getting into the cold, rainy season and time will tell just how much of a difference it really makes as this is when I'm in the most pain."


"Works well for pain. Overall not bad for moderate pain."


"At first before getting the Nexplanon I read horror stories online. But then I was reminded that people that usually don't have good experiences will share their stories more than those that had good experiences. I got this December 2015. So I've had it for about two months as of now. The insertion process was very fast and it didn't hurt very much. The most painful part was the numbing needle. The pain started after. It took me about a month for the bruise to go away in my arm and have no more pain in the site. After getting it inserted I did get headaches but they wouldn't last very long. Aspirin did the trick. I had my period for two weeks and that was it. I would recommend this for sure to anyone that wants long time effectiveness!"


"Be careful when using ativan.  Do not take doses more than 1 or 2 mg.  It is easy to get carried away and addicted to Ativan.  I find that it is a very effective treatment for anxiety when the RECOMMENDED DOSES are used though though."


"So far so good! The first few days were a bit rough, I experienced some mood swings and negative thoughts, and some wild dreams, even a few pimples showed up. It seems the side effects have subsided and my body is starting to get used to it. I would definitely recommend trying it and giving it a few days, you'll start to feel like your normal self again."


"I gave the Nuva ring a good go for 3 months. Love not having to take a pill and I can't feel it in me, nor can my boyfriend. But, It's given me pimples, made my boobs sore and destroyed my sex drive. I'll be going back to yaz."


"I took this medicine when I had osteomyelitis. It definitely helped."


"I've been on this for 2 months and I have experienced cramping, acne breakout, low sex drive and breast tenderness. Been switch to Alesse. We'll see what happens."


"I recently switched from Suboxone to Subutex, and I could not have been more grateful for my doctor allowing the change.  I never felt "good" on Suboxone, I always had a headache, I was always sick to my stomach, and I felt I couldn't do anything until I took my dose.  Now, with Subutex, I actually feel GOOD.  I have energy, I have a desire to go out and live again, rather than just exist from dose to dose of that awful citrus taste.  I also see myself not needing as large of an amount in order to keep me feeling alright.  I am so thankful for Subutex. "


"Age 33 dx'd w/ MS in 2012, started noticing the limp noodle sx soon after dx was given, but ever since starting ED medication our sex lives have improved tenfold. We're talking porn star material. I will say that Viagra seemed to work  but was super expensive and came with too many side effects. Granted last night was my first experience with Cialis (5mg) and we had a ton to drink. but worked fantastic! Makes me want to have go all night long. My confidence in the romantic department is at an all time high and my wife couldn't be happier. Big thumbs up to all the scientists and others who made this happen!"


"We moved to a new air base and the horrible doctors here refuse to let me have my Minastrin 24 Fe that I was on for TWO YEARS. Those two years were spent on cloud 9 compared to the 7 months on this garbage. On Minastrin I lost 45 pounds, clear skin like never before, good sex drive, not an emotional hurricane, and never got car sick. In 7 months alone on gildess I gained 25 pounds and counting(even with a healthy lifestyle), suffering depression and anxiety, NO sex drive, periods are HORRID, face has exploded more than going through puberty and I am 21, and taking this makes me sick. It's a good thing my husband and I don't want a baby because with the weight gain, break outs and no sex drive-it won't happen while taking this trash pill."


"After a few days on vyvance I started sleeping only 2-4 hours a night, then my doctor raised my dosage, now I was on 30 mg. And then a few weeks pass and I started to get really aggressive, yelling at people when I got just a little mad (like if someone accidentally bumped into me while walking down the hallway)

And if that wasn't bad enough, I still couldn't focus in school.

and the longer I took it the worse my sleep pattern got. I started staying up about 40 hours at a time and sleeping for about 8 hours, And then finally my parents decided to take action and take me off of it.

it took me about 7 months to get back to sleeping on a regular schedule"


"This medicine does a great job! I thought "wow" I've finally found something to help me make it through the night without side effects. Almost. On my second prescription I developed scattered hives. My Dr. Said take an antihistamine and try again, since it hadn't done this before. I thought that might work until I got hives in more and more places each time I took it (I only take it when needed).
When I developed the hives in very personal places that's when I decided I have no choice but to not take it. I don't know why it took so long to cause an allergic reaction. I wish it didn't because it really does work great. I'm hoping to find something else that does same thing that I'm not allergic to."


"I am a mum of two. Been depressed in past but felt fine after birth to first baby and the following three years. Developed depression, anxiety, mania after second baby, almost immediately. I am now in hospital (mother and baby unit) with 9 week old daughter. I'm on Effexor XR 375mg and experimentally with Seroquel (too sedating), Abilify (not effective) and now lithium. Effexor is causing mania like symptoms and I have been taking it for 4 weeks. The introduction of another medicine will hopefully counteract this. Overall though Effexor has definitely reduced my lows from a 1/10 to never dipping below 5/10. Fingers crossed I can get out of here and back to normal, soon."


"I have been on only 3 types of medications for MS and this (Tysabri) is the best of the 3. I have been on it since June 2010 and have had no ill side effects! I started this medication with a different Dr but once I became JC positive he wanted me to switch to a different medication. I was not happy with the choices he gave me and he was very adamant that I needed to change medications.  I did some research about another MS Clinic and made an appointment there. My Dr now is still very careful with me and keeps taking blood tests every 3 months to monitor my JC number. Last month my number was .65 and as long as it stays below 1.5 he is Ok with me taking it. This medication makes me able to be my husband care taker!"


"Had a bladder infection for over 2 weeks before doctors found the tablets i was on were the wrong ones for my infection, as a UTI takes many forms.    You must not drink milk or have anything dairy for 2 hours before hand and 2 hours after taking the tablet.   If you drink coffee or tea you must drink the same amount in water afterwards.  Not had any side effects following these rules to a T.    Been told that I need to drink water after every coffee or tea I have now as it's pointing to me damaging my kidneys because  there is blood in the urine, i must follow this for the rest of my life if i want to keep fit.
I live in the UK.
The test the hospital did  on my urine sample, showed I was on the wrong treatment as it wouldn't kill that particular bacteria"


"I love the Mirena. I got it about two months ago and it's super convenient. There's nothing to remember everyday. I haven't had any side effects as of yet. My period is irregular right now but my doctor told me that it might be that way for at least six months after getting it. The irregular periods don't bother me though because the flow is really light. I only have to wear a pantyliner for a day or so. My sex life has not changed at all. My sex drive is the same and I feel that I can enjoy sex better with the Mirena knowing that I don't have to worry about pregnancy. However, I must say the insertion of the device was painful. It was likely because I delivered both of my children via C-section. Having the Mirena is working great for me."


"I have been given Dilaudid several times throughout the years. It works wonders with severe pain. I have had it via IV and in pill form. The effects from the pills are no wheres as intense as the IV liquid version but work's well. My only complaint with the IV liquid form is if you are on it for a long period while hospitalized you will hallucinate at points. Other than that it is an amazing instant relief for pain.

The first time I had ever been given Dilaudid my appendix had burst and I was septic. I was given an iIV and they injected Dilaudid almost instantly I felt no pain and felt great. I was ready to go home lol. from the point of me going to the er till I received the Dilaudid, I was screaming and crying from the pain."


"Love Dramamine. Don't go anywhere without it. Helps with travel anxiety too. But makes you very tired."


"My hay fever has been bad this season. Nasonex has been awesome."


"Loestrin 24 is definitely the best form of birth control out there. I have been taking it non stop for the last 6 years and I've never had a single problem while taking it. I always take it at the same time every single day and if by chance I miss a day, my periods were never longer. I had a little bit of acne before I started taking the pill and it definitely cleared it up for me. About weight gain, I never gained a pound except in my breasts. If anything, the pill actually allowed me to lose weight. The ONLY negative thing I have to say about Loestrin 24 is that it tends to be a little pricey but if you have insurance, it's definitely the best pill out there! I will never switch from this pill! Very satisfied!"


"I am taking it for anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder intrusive thoughts. This medicine worked really quick, between 40mg of this, 5mg of Abilify with therapy it helped a lot! However after a year it stopped working for me. So I was switched to something else. Good luck everyone it's a good medicine."


"I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and have been seeing a grief counselor. I have tried 4 different types of antidepressants and couldn't stand being on any one of them for more than a day. This is working. My only side effect is not being able to sleep if I take it late in the day. I've stopped crying and obsessing. I feel calm again for the first time in years. Maybe now I can put back my life back together."


"I'm 15 and I started taking Tri-Sprintec about 8 days ago to help with my acne and horrible periods. I have been reading all of the reviews and so far I don't think it is as bad. Yes, I have breast tenderness, nausea, and intense stomach pains, but it's nothing I can't handle. Others say those symptoms go away after a few packets, and I'm willing to go through with it. "


"I took adderall for approx. 6 years. I started off taking 10mg twice a day. The last year of college I was taking 30mg time release twice a day. I feel that I did benefit from the medication during my last year of highschool and throughout college. My grades were B's and above, and during the first three years of highschool I would jump for joy if I earned a B. So having said that, yes adderall did help with my ability to focus, retain information, and to some degree my determination to complete tasks throughout the day. There was a huge price to pay for taking adderall for as long as I did. My metabolism slowed down immensely and maintaining the same diet and exercise I am 50lbs heavier. Doctor told me I would gain 40-75lbs and I did."


"I can finally enjoy roller coasters again! I just read AND follow the directions. I've used it on my last 3 amusement park trips.  No issues, no problems, no nausea and vomiting after the rides! It's an anticholinergic medication so the side effects are expected,  i.e. dry mouth, pupil dilation. They were mild. Drink fluids and wear sunglasses. Let's not be over dramatic."


"I have had pain and stiffness in my neck for quite some time and this medication has greatly improved these symptoms.  I use it every other day and it works very well."


"I have suffered from extremely heavy periods my whole life along with PMDD. My
Husband and I are not planning on having children and Nexplanon seemed like the best fit for us and also a way to help with the PMDD. I was told by my OB that my periods would most likely disappear but it was possible there may be some spotting... Not a big deal, right?? Welp, I had the implant for 10 months (FINALLY had it removed yesterday). My periods are consistently heavy, lasting 2 weeks to a month with clotting. By heavy, I mean leaking through super absorbent tampons doubled up with pads. My sex drive had dwindled down to nothing. I gained 30 lbs (while still working out mon-fri and watching my diet). My face broke out, I developed a rash on my hands....."


"I keep reading about people HATING their nexplanon. I just want to tel anyone thinking about getting this to BE PATIENT. The first month after insertion I was crying over everything and had a 9 day period. Since then, I now feel fine (although I am a tad sappier than I used to be) and HAVEN'T HAD A SINGLE PERIOD SINCE. Hallelujah!! Just at least give your body a little time to adjust. Our bodies are all different and some react better than others, just don't write it off too soon or let the bad reviews scare you. It really helps to be able to recognize that it is not you being crazy, it's your body being confused."


"My BMI was 38 so I tried it. I hated the side effects. They were bad. It even hurt when I went to the bathroom! No pounds lost either after 3 weeks. It's expensive too."


"I've suffered for my entire adult life from tinea versicolor, over 30 years. Started as a teenager and I'm now 54. There were times in the summer that I couldn't take my shirt off it was so bad. Used to go to the dermatologist (before the internet) and pay for the office visit and then pay for the prescription for selenium sulfide lotion. After the internet came along I read about selenium sulfide in shampoos. Since that time I have not been back to the Dr for this condition.

Selsun Blue and Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength both have 1% selenium sulfide. When the spots kick up I use either one of these as a body wash for a 1-3 weeks (daily) and the condition disappears for a couple years. A little sunshine evens out the skin color."


"I have had migraines for 30 years. For many years i just suffered and pushed through no matter how bad it was. About 10 years ago i started with migraine fog and could not focus or remember anything to the point i was at my grandmas house all the time just so she could watch the baby so I wouldnt forget to feed her or take care of her because i was in such tremendous pain. ER visits were frequent and the local ER put me on the drug seekers warning. I was suffering 15 plus days a month!! I have tried every trip drug on the markert and sumatryps made my face feel on fire, turn bright red and nose bleed. Then my neurologist said try this... And let me tell ya it was a GOD send! I love it!! Best stuff ever!$$$"


"Caused severe muscle cramps, headaches. Took away the pain from duodenal ulcers within 3 days."


"I had my first injection of Orthvisc on 08 June 2009. My next scheduled dates are 15 June 09 and 22nd June 09. I have had 3 series of the Supartz and I can tell a big difference in my knee. I am out of pain as of the first injection. No side effects. I am glad to be getting only 3 injections as opposed to the five of Supartz. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and the left one is the worst. The doctor wants to do knee replacement on that one however at age 67 in Oct 2009, my medical doctor does not want me to have the surgery yet. I am very pleased today, 10 June 09 with the results and pain free from my first injection of Orthovisc. Perhaps this is the answer and Medicare will pay for the injections every six(6) months. So I am looking on the positive side."


"I'm 17 and I got the skyla put in almost a month ago. Insertion didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. But I have been in A LOT of pain since then and I have been none stop bleeding. Since insertion I'm asleep constantly but I'm not sure if the skyla has anything to do with it"


"I loved being on Reclipsen. I started taking it when I was 20 and had no side effects, probably because I was active in college and had other things to distract me. I'm now 26 and stopped taking Reclipsen so my husband and I can start trying for a baby, so far the effects of coming off Reclipsen have been horrible. I can't wait to get pregnant and have babies so I can go back on Reclipsen!"


"Need the right DR."


"My 7 year old grandson has been on Intuniv for 16 days.  He had been on 40 mg Vyvanse alone with it wearing totally off after 5 hours.  We were reevaluated because of this and Dx changed from ADD to ADHD.  Intuniv was added to his regiment.  We started out at 1 mg and upped to 2 mg after 7 days.  We give it to him about 7 pm and by his 8 pm bedtime, he is calming down and is able to fall asleep within 5-10 minutes.  I have seen a tremendous improvement in his attitude, ability to focus and coping skills.  He was unable to sleep well while on the Vyvanse alone.  This is allowing him the ability to get the much needed deep sleep and this also is helping him out.

One good thing:  Medicaid started covering it 10/1/12"


"Soma works very well for me. In addition to helping control muscle spasms in my shoulders and back, it also helps me get to sleep in daylight hours after working at the computer on the late night shift."


"When my son has difficulty breathing from stridor associated with croup, this drug works wonders. He starts to feel relief immediately and doesn't get these symptoms for a couple of months afterwards."


"I had the device put in in February 2011 because I had been battling endometriosis which resulted in the loss of one ovary and half the other. After surgery two years later the bleeding was terrible and lower back pain was off the hook. I couldn't work or leave the house and using tampons like they were candy. I'd had enough so Mirena was my only option. I'd had five pregnancies and four wonderful children so I wasn't looking to have anymore. The insertion of the device was very painful and I did spot for the first five months. My periods I get monthly are very light and last two or three days. That's the best part, no pain and I'm happy. The only side effect that my husband and I noticed was a 15 pound weight gain. But I can diet."


"After having quite a lot of tests on allergies done, and still unable to find out what the problem of my running nose was, using Nasonex helped to relieve the most unpleasant affects of my condition. I have not experienced any side-effects. What I enjoy the most is that this spray doesn't destroy or acidize my nose."


"Was offered one of three?  But so glad I decided on three.  My knees have never felt the same.  Great product!"


"Lately, due to a lot of stress because of an ex boyfriend harassing and threatening me, I've been staying awake all night and not being able to fall asleep and it had been increasing the anxiety SO MUCH. Well I went to my doctor and she gave me 25mg of Seroquel to take at night. And this is where I will add my "WOW" haha! This pill has been a LIFE SAVER. I can sleep through the entire night and do not wake up at all. But If I need to wake up, I can without a problem. Medications work differently for everyone. But for me it's worked wonders. So thankful!"


"I used this because my friend recommended this and has healed her face for 4 months.. I rarely get pimples, probably 3-5 sometimes when my period is about to come.  But I was greedy and I like a clearer face, one that looks like a baby's skin.. no pores and whatsoever.. so I dreamed too much and I used this for 6 weeks.. they said purging is normal, but on the 5th week, it%u2019s like I made myself a monster.. and worse on 6th week.. so my advice is not to use this until the doctor tells you to use it.."


"Very effective on infection but stomach severe pains in the upper stomach had to stop taken it severe dirahea non stop to the toliet may need to see dr now and i stopped taken it an stomach still hurts"


"I took one dose of this and within minutes became nauseated and experienced extreme projectile vomiting. I will not be taking it again."


"I was so hoping I could take Livalo. From the very beginning I started having headaches. I thought it was from having allergies. Took it for two months. Started having tightness in chest, muscles hurting in shoulders, and neck. Getting tired just walking around in apartment. Feeling feverish, no fever, chills. Itching, but other medicines I take say they can cause itching too, but itching got worse since taking Livalo. Stopped taking it one week ago today. Haven't told doctor yet since I already had an appointment next week. I would rather watch my diet. Actually the doctor said my heart was in good shape. Don't think I'm that bad off."


"Dead tornail started falling off after 4 weeks.

"


"I started taking Kadian about a year ago for spinal stenousis. I was taking 30mg once a day. After a fall, they increased it to 2 a day. It works wonderfully for me. If I miss a day (and I do occasionally if I am not hurting) I pay for it the next day. It seems to leave my body fast so I try to take it even if I am feeling no pain now. I take Lortab 7.5 twice a day in between the Kadian but only as needed. I went today for my 2nd epidural. I hope this works."


"I have found this medication works best on an empty, already irritated stomach. I usually will eat and throw up and then take about 5 or 6 of the 5 mg pills. If I don't irritate my stomach, it doesn't work very well. I always get cold sweats, nausea, terrible cramping, and sometimes vomit. BUT! Once I get past this, I finally go to the bathroom and all these symptoms go away. I usually end up going to the bathroom ALL DAY. So, make sure you are off work and have nothing planned the day you use them."


"I'm 18 and I've had mild to moderate acne including pimples, small bumps on my forehead and cheeks. I finally decided I had enough and was prescribed Epiduo.  The first night I only put it on for a couple hours and the following nights I put it on every other night. During the middle of week two, my skin became very sensitive, started to peel like a sunburn and my face was slightly swollen. I patted on Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion and Cortisone 10 on the more severe parts for two days straight all day. I also put a cold towel on my face which helped a lot. It hurt, but it got better. Just be patient. I'm on week three and my skin is almost clear! Overall, this stuff really works, but patience is very important."


"I had been on Boniva for 18 months and woke one night with severe chest pain and pain in my throat and jaw.  For the next three months I ran high fevers and suffered chills and incredible pain.    My internist denied that it could be this drug and didn't even tell me to stop taking it.  I have spent thousands of dollars on tests and nothing has indicated that it could be anything else but the drug.  The only way I have been able to function has been by taking Prednisone and tons of Advil.  Be very careful if you take this drug and if you get any of these symptoms STOP TAKING IT regardless of what your doctor says."


"I have had my pulse rate go way up and my blood pressure both systolic and diastolic go way down. My heart was pounding. But I find that with this medicine I can sleep a bit more and I had to quit taking my lisinopril in the morning. I still have nightmares but I can wake up and say to myself oh good I'm not there anymore and it was just a dream. "


"I took this product as Nolamine when it first came on the market, and took it through my pregnancy with my daughter, no ill side effects (though I would not recommend that for everyone.)  When it was removed from the market, I could not find an allergy medicine that worked as well.  I have tried Zyrtec and Claritin, neither of which worked.  I discovered that Clor-Timetron has the active ingredient that Nolamine had, and have been taking that.  It is the only medicine that works for me."


"Great for Lupus."


"I have been on NuvaRing for almost a year. At first I loved it because of the lack of pills/having to remember everyday. My boyfriend said he could feel it, but it wasn't a big deal. A few months go by, and he notices a slight cut on his penis. He said it hurt, but only a little. We kept having sex but much less often. Now it's progressed to the point where it hurts all the time especially when he gets hard. I am switching to an IUD ASAP. I would highly recommend NuvaRing if you do not have a monogamous parter, because I had absolutely no other side effects. However, if you're in a committed relationship, please save your parter this pain!!!"


"My diagnosis is Bipolar one.  I have been on Serequel XR for 3 years now.  I have been stable for one year which is amazing.  I am very lucky that this medication works really well for me.  For the first few months or so it increased my appetite and I was fairly sedated throughout the day.  As I adjusted to the medication this wore off.  I now function better than I ever have.  Suicidal thoughts are pretty much all gone, and when they do come, they pass.  Have not had any depression, and only slightly concerning elevated moods (which happen rarely.)  This drug prevents me from psychosis and for that I am extremely thankful.  I am on 600mg once at night.  UK resident."


"I'm almost on month 3 of this birth control and I've not had any problems with it. I haven't experienced any acne or weight gain. I'm just still trying to figure my periods. The first month it came the day I started my first sugar pill. This month I'm on my 2nd sugar pill and no sign of my period, however, Overall I have been very satisfied with this bc."


"After  being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, the very painful debilitating type less than one year ago I called a rheumatologist. She told me I had every indication of rheumatoid arthritis  but I had to tell her one more thing I was HIV-positive. Now most of these medications immediately stated not to take it have an infection. Well what is a person to do I have HIV and that's an infection.  She gave me time to hash it out and I thought OK I'm going to try it. Of course it's premeasured syringes refrigerated this is how mine was prepared for me. I  injected around the navel  Area of abdomen. No real pain and no sensitivity occurred. After being on it for six weeks I went for my laboratory results and my doctor called me early on a   Saturday morning and stop medication that has caused neutropenia, look it up very serious had to stop it. Now she wants me on it every other week since my blood work has come back normal again But very conflicted as to whether I should or not. Is there anyone else out there with the same condition I have I would love to hear from you thank you hope this helps."


"I've had moderate to almost severe acne for at least 4 years prior to using Fabior. Now let me tell you this medicine will probably worsen your acne or dryness or redness the first couple of months you are on it but once you've used it for a long time the results are amazing. My advice would be to use a morning and evening moisturizer because Fabior and any retinoid will dry you out. This product should last a long time for one bottle and never overuse it ever."


"This is a great lotion for Eczema, but it tends to get used to the skin after about half the bottle, which results in you having to get a new one or a different product."


"I’ve been in various treatments for sciatica for the past year an a half. I’ve been in physical therapy for 14 months, tried dry needling, myofacasial release massage therapy, diet changes, prescription drugs, yoga, isolated/ active stretching & OTC icy hot & HO Capazain cream. My doctor prescribed this after the pain clinic refused to give me a steroid injection for pain relief. It’s more effective than anything else I’ve tried. I take a prescription drug for the pain and then put this cream on 4 or 5 times a day. Within minutes of applying it the pain dissipates & I’m pain free for several hours. This stuff works better than numbing yourself with ice. It helps the pain in both hips and my lower spine. I was given 3% strength & it rocks!"


"I got one Diflucan pill to take which I thought at first was a waste of money, but it works GREAT. The discharge and smell changed after 1 day! There were no side effects, no headaches, nausea, pain, etc. Highly recommend!"


"I have been on Depo Provera since Dec. 6, 2015. Started bleeding January 6 2015 and it hasn't stopped since then! I had my second injection last Saturday and I'm hoping that the bleeding will stop. Its effective in preventing pregnancy but Its greatly affecting my sex life."


"I have geno type 3. I've been taking it for two weeks. I feel elevated. Like I'm high on something"


"I was very nervous after reading the reviews for the monistat 1 and 3 so I decided to go with the 3 day pre filled applicators. I've only done the first night so far but that seemed to be the worst part for everyone else. I got a YI from taking antibiotics. I put the medicine in right before I went to sleep in bed and didn't have any issues what so ever. I think people are having issues because they've been itching and making the skin raw down there so of course when the medicine does eventually start leaking out it burns. Just like a scrap or cut would when something first touches your raw skin. Also for me after I put the medicine in I was already laying down and didn't have to get up, I just went to sleep. No burning/itching present!"


"I'm on my 11th day (out of 20 days) taking Avelox and it works, beside having a headache and shortness breathing everything seems to be working great. After 10 days of taking it my pneumonia was 75% better."


"I have been on this med 4 days now. The first day I made the mistake of taking it night before bed, boy was that s mistake! Up all night really bad insomnia. Day 2 I took it in the afternoon when home from work at 2 pm. I curled up on lazy boy and did not want to move, ended passing out due to pure exhaustion, needless to say I did not get up till the next morning 15 hrs later. Day 3 about 1 hour after taking developed slight nausea and the feeling of extreme skin sensations like things crawling on me , but those do subside after about couple hours. On 40 mg and going to stick with it and ride it out for a few weeks to see is side effects lessen. Also on 450mg of Wellbutrin at the same time. I think it is working in a weird kind of way!!"


"I began this medication with a 28 day starter pack and transitioned from there. The first month my side effects were like "WHOA" (headache, nausea, gastic distress of epic proportions!) pretty much hell on earth. HOWEVER, here I am 5 months later and for the first time in my life I am completely clear. There is not a plaque to be seen or felt. No itching, no flaking, no cracking! If you're new to this med; don't give up. It gets better!! I'm 5 months into now and I don't have any of the side effects any longer."


"Guys this pill actually works. So my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. And pretty much he felt something was coming out and he did. So one hour later he went to target to buy me a plan b. I didn't have any side effects or late period. My period came right on time. So I recommend to take the pill very soon. Don't wait one day."


"Methadone saved my life, all the negative reviews on other sites are simply biased. I'm sure some had truly bad experiences, but it's only human  nature to go out of your way to post something bad rather than something positive.

I've been on methadone for almost 3 months and I'm holding stable at 85mg of liquid dosing at the clinic every morning. Mid November I'll have qualified for my second weekly take home, since Sunday is automatic when you start. Only for about the first week did I have drowsiness. I've been 100% clean off of all other substances since day 1. Clean urines. I came home and got clean when I had my son this past summer, and without him as my motivation and methadone as my help, I can easily say I wouldn't be sitting here."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I'm on day one and feeling terrible. Gas, stomach cramps, nasty taste in my mouth and I cannot sleep. If I didn't have to go to work for the next 2 weeks of this treatment I'd feel better about it. I really didn't even think about having these nasty side effects until they happened and I came here to see everyone else's experience. If this doesn't cure the h pylori I don't even know what I'm going to do. Dealing with h pylori sucks so bad but damn this treatment is rough and I'm only on day one. Can't lie, this is horrible."


"This is day number 5 for me,  I haven't checked my weight yet but I dont feel hungry all the time as I use to, not sure if it's because I'm alway nausous.  The side effects are so overwhelming it's long lasting during the day.   I plan to start taking the shot at nights but was afraid of insomnia."


"Had high total cholesterol.  Crestor helped but didn't get LDL low enough.  Took Zetia and that caused serious joint and muscle pain.  Started taking Repatha samples from doctor.  It's working great with no side effects.  Total cholesterol 121, LDL 38 and HDL 58.  Unfortunately, Blue Cross doesn't want to pay for it, so my doc is going through the appeal process."


"So far it has been fine.  This is my first week and I have not noticed any side effects at all.  I take it at night.  I hope I continue on this track."


"I was prescribed Cefdinir for strep and after two doses had a severe headache, nausea, diarrhea and after 24 hours broke out is very painful hives on neck and chest - now I'm taking benadryl and a topical - Clobetasol Propionate for the rash and a different antibiotic for the strep.  After reading all the side effects people get from this drug I do not recommend it."


"I've had terrible motion sickness, and nothing has worked until I used this medication. It worked PERFECT the first few times. I took it everytime I traveled in a plane. However, I've noticed the more I use the patch, the worse the side effects have become. After using the patch, I now experience extremely dry throat/eyes/nose, blurred vision, and even nausea. Although it has successfully kept me from becoming sick while traveling up until this point, I'm not sure if this effect will always hold true."


"The insertion was not bad at all! It was a 2/10 for pain at the most, getting my ears pierced hurt more! I had an excellent doctor do the insertion though. I also took a flexeril and 800mg of ibuprofen about an hour before the procedure. Definitely have bleeding but I was able to sit up and go home after. I had my bf there to hold my hand and drive me home. But feeling good! Hopefully over the next few months things will stay good! Be ready to give a urine sample before! (To check for pregnancy)"


"I have been on Lexapro for about 10 months. I absolutely love it. For about the first month, I was on 10 mg and talked with my doctor about needing more so we bumped it up to 20 mg. After 6 months on being on 20 mg, I felt too relaxed and drowsy, so we have cut back to 10 mg.  I feel great. For awhile, I was really sleepy, but have gotten back in a positive sleep rhythm. Looking to cut back to 5 mg soon. It takes a few weeks to kick in, but the wait is worth it."


"I have been on this birth control for about 3 months. At first, I broke out everywhere horribly and was extremely moody and emotional. I haven't noticed any weight gain, and I do like it a lot better now. I used to have a pretty clear face except around my period I would break out, and the birth control hasn't made it any worse or better in three months. I have never taken any other type of birth control, so I don't have much to compare it to but it works well enough for me!"


"My doctor gave me a ten day free sample of this medicine. I tried the first one about a week later. I did not fall asleep like I do when I take ambien, instead I kept thinking, not worrying, but thinking about random things for about an hour. When I did fall asleep I dreamed that I was screaming for someone to help me. I also framed that I climbed to the top of a 40ft ladder and hung myself off of it. I woke myself up screaming and scared. I did not sleep again that night. I would never take belsomra again. I reported my side effects to my doctor."


"My side effects are: Weight Gain, Vaginal Yeast Infection, Tired, Itching Skin, Increased Hunger, Dry Mouth, Cloudy Urine, Increased Thirst, Breathing Difficulty, Sweats,

2 months"


"I'm on the second day of this (3 pills a day), so still bit soon to say just how effective this will be. I guess so far it's helped some as before I started on it I kept feeling like I had to go to the bathroom (which the doctor reassured me wasn't a urinary tract infection but likely bacterial vaginitis). This has partially cleared now, so hoping by tomorrow it's gone. The pill taste awful, but I swallow it with orange juice which seems to do the trick. I have some odd lingering after taste but I can live with that.  Otherwise, so far, so good."


"I'm in my fourth week of taking the med.  I'm down 17lbs, my blood sugars have been reduced to where sometimes I have to reduce my night time Lantus or I end up with a low blood sugar event.  I love this.  I've struggled for years, read about this online, talked with my Dr. and now I'm on my way to getting better."


"I take 2mg Klonopin 4-5 times daily along with Adderall XR 20mg 2 each morning. The combination of the two works great. I suffer from BiPolar disorder, Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and ADHD. I would get so bad I would lock myself in my room at home and cry my eyeballs out, afraid to speak to people, just full blown terrible anxiety. Klonopin is very effective if taken properly. Its a miracle medicine. I used to just be on Xanax 1mg 5 times daily and it started making me angry and aggressive. Some people react different to medications. Klonopin controls my mood, stops the worst anxiety you ever experienced in its tracks. Wonderful medication with just drowsiness as a side effect."


"Vagifem truly changed my life.  Intercourse was almost impossible for me before my doctor prescribed Vagifem. Intercourse felt like knives in my vagina and my tissues were so dry,raw, and painful that I was in constant pain.  I have been using it now for about a month and the difference is unbelievable. No more pain or irritation. No side effects so far."


"Belviq is so amazing! I'm so happy I did my research on this medicine and suggested it to my doctor. On Sunday 12/28/14 I weighed in at 359lbs. I began taking the pills that same morning. I have been eating a low calorie diet (healthy foods) and I've exercised 2 days already. I have had bad foods here and there but really the medicine makes me not want bad foods anymore or feel hungry as well as make me fuller faster. I'm supposed to weigh in on Sunday 1/4/14 but today I decided to take a sneak peak and I'm already down 4 lbs! That's 4 lbs in 5 days. I'm so happy and excited that it's working. If you have trouble with losing weight you should try Belviq, it's a miracle!"


"At first, I was a little bit afraid to try Paxil after reading some reviews but I thought to myself anything has to be better than the daily stress and anxiety that I was dealing with.  I've been on it for a month and I can absolutely say it's been a life changing experience! I no longer have daily panic attacks and I can go out in public without a care! Before Paxil, I struggled in public situations. I would often feel anxiety and if everyone was staring and judging me. But now I don't even think about it. I just go on with my business and enjoy my days! If you're struggling with daily panic attacks and anxiety like I was, I highly recommend at least giving it a try!"


"First of let me say that I was only able to take the sample pen of SAXENDA because it was too expensive and my insurance, BCBSIL and express scripts, only covered  $150 of the total $1300 plus that it cost.  But I will say that in those 3.5 weeks I lost 16lbs.  It did give me headaches and really bad heartburn.  My appetite was gone and I had no urge to snack on junk food.  between meals, small meals, I would eat a handful of peanuts or a tangerine or small apple and would be completetly good.  I did not workout.  Couldn't really due to fatigue which was also an issue.  If I didn't eat enough through the day though I would end up eating bad at night.  you must eat but eat healthy.  Tums, pepto and fiber were my best friends."


"Maxalt is great. Once I can tell my headache is starting I take the pill. Usually in less than 30-60 minutes I forget that my head was hurting and I am able to work for 8-12 hours, smometimes longer. I agree with another comment: it gives no side effects like a rapid heart rate or chest pain. After having surgery I got spinal meningitis which started my migranes when I was 34 years old. Now at 48 I am thankful for Maxalt."


"I was hesitant for years to ever be put on medicine for anxiety/depression, but once it had significantly gotten worst into my "adult" years (mid-20's), I decided it was time. I cannot say enough amazing things about Celexa. I have been on it for a little over two weeks (10 mg starting out and now 20mg) and wow. My only regret is that I didn't get put on this way sooner! My emotional state is so much better, I am rarely irritated, and I can deal with everything so much better without going absolutely crazy. It's truly amazing. I did have side effects at first- headache, light-headedness, going to the bathroom a lot, stomach upset, lump in my throat, clinching my jaw, but it was worth all that once I got past it!"


"I have been lying in bed for 2 hours debating on taking this pill again, I read a couple of comments on here about the peanut butter coating, Peanut butter makes it go down so much easier! Thank you! thank you! Thank you!"


"I started using the birth control Loestrin about a month ago and have finished the first cycle. I was concerned with trying it having read mixed reviews about the pill and figured I'd put in my experience. I'm 21 years old and have never taken any form of birth control before this one. The only symptoms I have experienced was some spotting. So far I haven't had any mood swings, headaches, nausea, etc. I like this birth control and so far I plan on sticking with it, it's always important to remember that everyone will have different experiences with medicines and find the one that works for you."


"Worst thing I ever did to my body. First month went by fine, break was fine. Started second pack and in two days experienced painful cramps and light bright red bleeding. 3 days later I was bleeding huge amounts, like post partum bleeding, and bright red. This did not stop. I lived on 6 ibuprofen a day. The ibuprofen burnt through my stomach and caused a HUGE IBS flare. After two weeks of intense pain and very heavy bleeding I stopped the pill. Within 4 days I had stopped bleeding completely. This was 4 weeks ago. Stomach only just recovering, but have been feeling deep aching pains every since, I think like ovulation pain. Today it ramped up. Hopefully I’m just ovulating, but I will never take a pill again."


"I was given samples if dexilant from my Dr.  I was recently diagnosed with GERD. I had mucus in the back of my throat so bad I couldn't eat anything at all. I could hardly drink water without it irritating the acid in my throat. The dexilant worked like a charm I could eat and I had no side effects. Then after a week of use I started getting bad cramps in my legs.  They just recently spread to my entire body. I went to the er yesterday morning they told me I had tardiv dyskonesia. I stopped taking all my medications a week ago and the cramps are still here they Here.!!  I was given benadryl in the er and was told to continue use for 10days to see if the reaction goes away...  I'd rather have the diarrhea then constant muscle spasms"


"I have been on Junel Fe 1/20 for about 10 months. Honestly the worst birth control I've ever been on. Yes, it prevented pregnancy but it also made me hormonal, moody, depressed, I began to grow hair on my chin and chest, weight gain, cyst on my breast, hot flashes, and the list goes on. I would not recommend this to anyone"


"I took 2 25mg pills last night.  Woke up today with bad headache and dry mouth. I had some bizarre dreams on the stuff and felt a bit of an antihistamine hangover.  A few convulsions in my sleep.  I think next time I will try 12.5 mg's.  I have a tolerance to everything except antihistamines for some reason.  I did not care for the crappy side effects I experienced upon waking up the next day.  Dehydrated, sluggish, dizzy, depressed, dry mouth"


"Works well, no side effects. Easy on my stomach."


"I have been taking Seasonique 10 years now. I got put on it when I was 15 due to huge Ovarian Cyst and very bad periods that made me super sick! I've had no issue with this medication at all, until the beginning of 2016- now I have had no period. Every 3 months I get the symptoms of a period but never bleed. But I have been fine on this medication. I recommend it to anyone!"


"I got the Nexplanon put in my arm last month. I previously had the Mirena, LOVED IT, but it started poking my boyfriend while doing the hibbity-dibbity and after 3 years I developed debilitating headaches. On the flip side, I had no period for almost 3 years... it was the most magical thing ever. I decided I wanted to try something that wasn't so invasive down there, so i went with the Nexplanon. I heard many good things from other friends, I got all excited, ready to have my sex-life back. After getting the Nexplanon put in, I continued to bleed because I had to be on my period when you first get it put in. It stopped for a little bit, still some light spotting. Now, BLOOD, everything and everywhere... blood. Like dripping status. Not happy"
