"Well just have start by saying so far so good.  I have read other comments and was scared to start this but it is day 2 and I feel great.  I had no side effects, since I told my doctor that I binge eat at night she advised to take the pill around 5 PM.  7:00 o clock came around and I had no desire to look for a snack or have a cup of coffee.  I started to pack my kids lunches and didn't touch a snack which was something I always did.  I had Gastric Bypass in 2003 starting weight was 305 got down to 165 at my lowest, which was great since I'm 5'6 and at my lowest I wore a size 6.  I saw the doctor because I started gaining weight and presently are up to 216 lbs.  I refuse to gain it all back.  I will get write again in a week.  Good Luck"


"Methadone has once again helped me get clean for almost a year. I detoxed off of it 12 years ago & yes it was tough but possible.  Take it nice and slow when detoxing and consider a blind detox so you cant convince yourself your feeling a drop in your dose. If you can afford Suboxone I would suggest that over Methadone for easier detox."


"I am a 14 year old girl and last year when in 8th grade I found out I was ADD. My doctor prescribed me Vyvanse. At first it took me a couple weeks to find out what worked for me (when to take it, eat first or after etc.). My grades at the time were horrible and they went up after I started taking Vyvanse. I have had a few of the side effects (dry mouth, loss of appetite, weight loss etc.) but this medication helps me focus a lot more."


"I hope people aren't deterred by other reviews on this site.  Typically people go online to leave bad reviews.

I, on the other hand, have had a GREAT experience with this birth control thus far. I have been on it for about a month and have had no side effects!  Before Mircette  I tried EVERYTHING- Sprintec, tri-sprintec, the patch, the ring, Yaz, etc.  A lot of pills made me very moody, anxious, depressed, or excessively fatigued.  Some pills made me very sick to my stomach.  Mircette has been awesome.  My hormonal acne has already cleared up, I don't get upset to my stomach at all, and I haven't experienced mood swings.  I am thrilled that I finally found a birth control that works for me.  I HIGHLY recommend trying it."


"I had my wisdom teeth out and a few days later my pain medicine made me constipated. I felt that I had to go and I tried but it hurt sooooooo bad!! So I had my mom go out and get me this and I took some before I went to bed and in the morning it kinda worked. (I didn't drink enough). Then I took some more in the morning and it worked like a charm."


"Started the first dose at 3:30pm. By 4:45pm I had 3/4 down but had to quit because I was gagging and almost throwing it up with each drink.  It's 9:20pm and nothing has happened yet. I feel like I have to go but nothing is happening, like I'm constipated. I'm worried because I know they will stop the procedure and make you come back if you aren't cleaned out.  I have my second dose planned for 4AM. Hopefully it is working by then."


"I like Zonegran overall, I haven't had a seizure since I started taking it."


"I started having seizures about 3 years ago. Found out I had a tumor on my left temporal lobe. Started taking carbamazepine, it worked for about a month or two but I started having seizures again. That's when my doctor put me on keppra and I haven't had a seizure since. Thanks keppra!"


"Very effective medicine. I got 4 wisdom teeth extracted and was prescribed it. Took a while before it kicked in but when it did my pain was completely gone. Lasted about 3 or 4 hours. I didn't experience many side effects, other than slight constipation and a small sense of dizziness. I slept perfectly fine while on it. "


"I was recently in a bad car accident, and I haven't slept in 2 days. I feel like this pill keeps me awake. Does not work for me. I hate it"


"I have had Mirena for a month now. I switch to Mirena because I has absolutely no sex drive on the pill! The insertion was pretty painful (probably like an 8 out of 10) and the cramping has been bad at times, but not always. I also spotted for like 4 days after the insertion. Since having Mirena, my sex drive is back to normal and period was very light! Only required a light tampon at the max but for the most part just a panty liner which is awesome! I would recommend this to anyone who wants an easy form of birth control or for anyone who wants their sex drive back."


"I took the enteric coated, triple strength, Fish Oil, 1400 mg, one a day for about one week and I develop stomach and abdominal pain, and itching.

I stop taking it, and after a week the pain and itching is gone. It is now about a month since I stop taking Fish Oil and the pain and itching did not come back."


"53 yrs old. Coming on for approximately 6 months I couldn't think or remember anything. Stayed in bed for days (retired). My face would grimace. Hands and feet would just "have" to move trying to "make the feeling stop".  Relatives said I was avoiding answering direct questions. I was scaring myself, went to doc. Already on an anti-depressant, he added valproic acid 250 mg 2x a day. Worked perfectly for 13 days, then stopped. Went back in and he said just hang in there. After another 10 days, it started working again. Every once in awhile "it" comes back, so I take a pill maybe a bit early. Stayed on 3 a day. It has been a miracle for me. Today, I took apart my ceiling fan that had been broken for 2 years and wasn't afraid to do so. "


"My doctor placed me on this medicine due to the fact that I can not sleep at night, I suffer racing thoughts, and it works. The only thing that I don't like about it, is that I tend to be a little bit grumpy in the morning, but hey, I'm also like that without sleep."


"Wow, I'm really surprised with the reviews of this drug. This drug should not be taken for ADHD. There are many (safer) alternatives. I don't know, maybe I was just unlucky...I was prescribed Ritalin at around the age of 5-6, and from day one I had extreme fatigue, weren't interested in any other activity but sleep. It made learning from not interesting to impossible. After a couple of months taking it I had lost a lot of weight...by that time the doctors had to take me off Ritalin. It has caused me to be underweight ever since (I'm 20 now). If your child(ren) are hyperactive you should really consider cutting of the high amounts of sugar that they are exposed to in this day of age. Don't drug them, they will soon develop in a mature being."


"I've been taking levothyoxine for a week and a half now and before it I would fall asleep at work, when I was driving, just watching tv. There was a time that I went through 5 different sleep medications in 2 months to try and figure out the right one because nothing was working for me. My whole body ached, and worst of all my hair was falling out. The first couple of days taking the medication my body ached really bad but it got better. I lost 12 pounds already and my hair stopped falling out. I also am able to get through the day without falling asleep and because I don't fall asleep during the day I get tired during the night! I love it."


"Hands down the BEST acne treatment I've ever tried. Been on many, tried a lot of different products. Hormonal/food triggered acne has been a part of my life since 13. Tried aczone from my dr at 28 and haven't looked back for a year. Doesn't dry out skin, I feel a breakout coming in, put it on at nighttime and breakout gone completely in 1-2 days. Give it a try! Works fabulous :)"


"Guys! This is a wonder gel! Please try it if you have acne problem. I had acne at the start of the year and everyone started to ask about my acne. I felt ashamed. My cousin recomended this. My skin started clearing after a few weeks. Less than one month!"


"Was on .75 for a month as suppose to boost this up to 1.5 -  .75 was not to bad, weight loss, bit of headache now and then. When started 1.5 everything went wrong. I would have a rock hard lump for 3 or 4 days where I put the needle in. Side effect was a feeling like " Hives "  Constantly scratching my belly raw around point of impact. some vomiting, speech was off - more harsh, I work nights and lights were bothering me also contributing to headaches. Been off it 2 weeks now and numbers have went from 8-9 back to 13's but all the side effects are gone and I feel better, That is what counts to me. :)"


"This is a miracle medicine for me. I've been plagued by anxiety all my life. My Dr recently added 0.5mg clonazepam twice a day to the 115mg Effexor I am taking.
I am happy, relaxed and finally able to enjoy life and work."


"I started taking Fastin a few days ago after I read so many good reviews...I must say that I did take the advice of so many others and started with half of the pill. It seemed to put me in the best mood and my energy level went through the roof. Not to mention..I wasn't hungry at all. Yes it did make me feel a bit jittery so I drank a lot of water and had to pee quite often. Don't drink anything with caffiene in it while taking this because it makes you even more jittery, plus if you work in the heat be careful because I felt like I was having hot flashes but wow...it is definitely worth it. Lost a couple of lbs already. Well worth it for me."


"I started at Remeron 15mg per day.  I started to feel somewhat better at two weeks.  Went to 30mg at that point.  At 30mg for one week or so, felt appreciably better.  I've gained a few pounds (about 4) so that's not too bad.  Did not help with sleep.  Plagued by insomnia for 3-4 days after starting and/or changing dose.  A bit of muddied thinking for a few days after changing dosage.  I have severe MDD.  I think Remeron will really help. Off to a good start.  I especially appreciate the lack of sexual side effects."


Monistat 1-Day or Night Combination Pack

"I started showing some signs of a YI on Monday, the 6th grabbed a Monistat 1, as I have done a few times before and thought nothing of it. I ran out to see a friend and came back in I rushed to the bathroom due to a burning sensation and knew something was wrong when all the medication was in my shorts. Went to my PCP on Thursday and she didn’t do an exam, just prescribed an antibiotic. After two more days of complete discomfort, primarily when I urinated it felt like death. I was in tears just about every time I went. Went to the ER where they diagnosed me with Herpes, this couldn’t be true because neither my husband or 1 have been with other people in our 5 year relationship. Got tested all negative results. Never will I use this again!"


"Love this medication, but I gained 40 pounds in about 4 months! Stayed on it for years and made me feel normal. I, initially, got on it when it was first released and there were no other atypical antipsychotics on the market. When Seroquel was released, then my psychiatrist switched me to it because it showed weight gain, but not as much. He was correct."


"Took 10mg twice per day for 3 1/2 months - lost 20 pounds.  Within 5 pounds of my goal, reduced to 10mg once daily October 1 and noticed psoriasis returning slightly.  Psoriasis had cleared up completely for the first time in 30 years about 2 weeks after starting Belviq.  Weight is stable at goal, but still taking Belviq for psoriasis control.  Belviq is not an appetite suppressant or stimulant.  It works on the subconscious level.  Before  starting it, I might overeat for irrational reasons like "There's only a bit of food left over, I'll just eat it instead of storing it."  or "I've already eaten too much, another bite won't matter."  With Belviq, those thoughts just never occur.  I drink 2 quarts of water daily and eat when I'm hungry."


"This medicine did a number on my legs.  Had numbness, the legs felt like led, wobbly.  I had been a mail carrier and walked 10-11 miles and day, retired but continued to walk 4-5 miles a day besides being very active with DIY projects and part time job.  Took Lipitor earlier this year.  It got the numbers down, but I had 3 ER visits in one week and spent the night in the hospital because my legs were acting up and it scared me and my heart did weird things.  Lot of stress for me and my family.  We have good insurance, but this will still probably be around $2000.  I would not recommend Lipitor to anyone-there are other cholesterol meds out there."


"Since I was about 26 I have suffered from migraines (now 65) and tried everything from daily preventative meds, to expensive self injecting & very expensive medication, then cafegot suppositories with 3 aspro clear for the pain, I could spend hours and days feeling like dying and vomiting non stop, then there was a shortage of cafegot and that was hell, and finally they took it off the market, that is when my Dr. asked me to trial Maxalt wafers, at first I thought nothing could replace cafegot and I was very conscious of not taking ergotomine with rizatriptan. Maxalt is the best, it works within an hour, and so far after 4-5 years no side effects at all, and no more vomiting ever.  Also I do not take any other drugs for anything, but Maxalt."


"After being out of school for 7 months with severe gastrointestinal problems, I developed extremely severe depression and horrible anxiety with worrying about turning in work and working toward graduation (I'm a HS senior). Before this I had never had any mental issues. At first, I didn't want to take more mind pills; the thought of altering my mental state was a bit frightening to me. However, after being on Prozacfor 8 weeks, I feel totally changed in a good way. I can think about items of concern and work through them without starting to worry or become extremely upset. My mind is FINALLY free from a huge amount of stress. This in combination with as required Xanax for anxiety attacks has helped me tremendously. Highly recommended."


"Run from it. Ive been taking it for four years.more u take the more u have to have. Its synthetic and very addictive. 100mg.tab equils 40 mg.morphine. i was taking 6 per day it dulls the pain but it dulls ur mind too.im off it now and i feel alive and most of my back pain is starting to subside.i take mobic, and im great. When i got hurt it actually helped but i built up a tolerance to it over 4 years.ive got 5 discs messed up."


"My primary care doctor prescribed indomethacin and I couldn't tolerate it because, among other things, it made me itch badly and my ears rang a lot.  I told my podiatrist and he suggested methprednisolone because I only have to take it for 6 days per episode and likely, it would not make me itch or cause ear ringing.  Well, he was RIGHT.  The morning after my FIRST DOSE, I felt relief.  The pain had substantially decreased and I was walking normally again.  After 2 days, the pain was GONE.  I still finished the dose as instructed though.  I didn't have another episode for 6 months and after my first dose during the 2nd, my pain was gone.  This is a great drug and not having to take it every day when I take so many other meds is a God-send."


"After dabbling with Viagra and dealing with the unfortunate side effects of muscle cramping and headaches my doctor gave me a sample of Cialis. I love it. For five years I've been taking daily dose of 5 mg however I space them about three days apart. At $11 a Cialis pill for 5 mg, three days apart always keeps me   Ready for action. When I run out of medicine the one pill has an effect for about 72 hours. That's not bad. Recently, my brother telling me about his experience with some generics he has been getting and he gave me a link and I tried it. Getting 120  pills of 20 mg each of Tadacip, the tradename for the active ingredient to tadalifil, which is Cialis, I took a single 20 and four days later still awake and perform with a powerful erection. At a cost of $1.20 for each 20 mg pills from India, I've been cutting them down  to 5 mg and have now begun my 5 mg every three day regimen at a cost of about $.30 per cut pill or $.10 per day,pretty cheap.  An added bonus is it seems to slightly lower my blood pressure.  At 6 feet, 210 pounds, and age 60, the Cialis really is a game changer and I perform like I'm in my 20s again."


"Well, I promise if you are reading these reviews they are all true! I have been on the toilet for the last hour, stuff just streaming out of me. I have been incredibly constipated for the last few weeks and I remember my mom always used mag citrate whenever she was really backed up, and oh lord do I know why, I don't think there is a single bit of poop left in me but it just keeps coming out. The only downside is that my bottom kind of feeling a bit hot, and that my stomach won't stop making these god awful noises, my boyfriend was like oh my god what's wrong with you hahaha. But as everyone else has said be prepared to be on the toilet for a while."


"After years of different birth controls messing me up, I didn't want anything with hormones.  I had Paragard put in 2 weeks ago & I didn't take anything before insertion. Got cramps within a few hours. A few days of spotting & then my period started. My first period lasted about 6 days, with severe cramps so I had to use a heating pad (didn't have to use one before Paragard). I also had lower back pain like I had while in labor with my only child (back labor). After reading comments, I'm hoping my cycles will be back to normal in a few months. Don't want to spend my last years before menopause worrying about longer periods or birth control & didn't want to get tubes tied unless it's the only other option, so I'll give it some time."


"Started on 0.75 for 4 weeks then up to full dose 1.5. Nausea and lack of appetite where bad for first 2-3 months then they subsided and I started to eat normally again - lost 3-4 kg - that;'s all

Worst side effect was extreme tiredness

Stopped taking the drug 10 days back but the tiredness persists....... will recommence again in a week or so - body is enjoying the break!"


"I still don't know if cravings and anxiety are one and the same, but I've been on this for 6 months.  I notice a lot of headaches, increased anxiety, depression, insomnia and male sexual problems.  I still need 0.5 mg Xanax 5 times a day for the anxiety, and Ambien CR for insomnia.  The product coordination nurses deny that this causes male sexual side effects, I've had sex twice in 6 months on Vivitol, and that includes my honeymoon.  I think Vivitrol helped me the most by making it clear that if I tried any opiates, I could overdose immediately and die.  So I've put up with the side-effects, but I hope to be off this in 1 year.  And, yes, I want my sex life back."


"I'm on my 5th day for bacterial vaginosis. Yes you will get symptoms. I had dark urine and I don't know if its the medicine or me but I get extremely moody. I mean so far it's doing its job."


"It happens. During my fertile time with ZERO contraceptives. Took Plan B 43 hours later. Got my period 7 days later for 5 days, then again 9 days later. But hey, I'm not pregnant! It works. No side effects for me other than a light headache 1 hour after taking the pill that lasted a few hours."


"I have had a very positive experience with Tasigna. Very little side effects compared to the Gleevec. My body seems to tolerate it much better than the Gleevec."


"This medicine is expensive, but it works.  My son started taking this 4 weeks ago.  He has experienced no side effects and it is working like magic on his mania."


"ABSOLUTE LIFE SAVER. I am 25, a sober alcoholic (2 years) and diagnosed with MDNOS. I would love to get a real diagnosis - bipolar is as close as they've come, BPD is my personal view. Lamictal seriously changed my life. It leveled me out so that I could live my life and not have terrible bouts of sobbing in the closet wishing to die and screaming at people at the same time. I was still not super happy, so we added Lexapro, which helped a lot and Celexa later (instead of Lexapro), which helped more. Really want to switch to Wellbutrin XL now because I have no sex drive which is detrimental to my relationship, plus I'm late for work pretty much every day and could sleep until 1PM. But I will never go off Lamictal, serious life saver."


"This drug didn't even start to work until 12  hours after I took it.  "


"I have lost 30 lbs in four months. I am starting school and feel the best I have felt in 10 years. It has been life changing to me I am on Vraylar 3 mg."


"My experience has been better than my preexisting condition.  I was prescribed a 25 day dose of Dexilant in order to treat some possible ulcers and gastritis in my intestines.  I was having severe abdominal pain.  A week in, the medicine had treated the pain quite effectively.  I only get mild cramping now and then.  I have experienced some side effects, including diarrhea, back pain, and a slight irregular heartbeat.  However, it has mitigated the stomach pain quite well, and my symptoms seem to be slowly improving.  Good for short term treatment, but I wouldn't recommend long term treatment (at least for ulcers or gastritis) due to side effects."


"I was put on Femara after my radiation and had terrible debilitating side effects. My bones and joints were in constant pain, the headaches and hot flashes were frequent. My oncologist took me off and put me on Aromasin. What a difference! I occasionally get ringing in my ears and an upset stomach but thank goodness nothing like the Fenara."


"I have been constipated for YEARS. Since I was about 16, and I'm now 24. I tried everything from changing what I ate to fiber gimmies and drink mixes, two laxatives, and vegetable laxatives, milk of magnesia, I even drank magnesium citrate. It has been a constant struggle with bloating and cramping. I could gain up to 5 pounds and I was constipated for more than a week, and that even made fitting in my clothes difficult! Send using Lindzess I am never constipated!! I take it every other day, and that is enough for me. My movements aren't hard, but they aren't diarrhea either...play with it and take it as you need it,  but it surely is a miracle pill."


"I actually miss taking Accutane. I finally decided to take it after years of bad cystic acne and nothing else working. It took about a month to start working but I was only on 20mg a day. It was a Godsend. Despite being on such a low dose of it (I think the average is 40mg a day), accutane worked wonders. The only side effects I had were dry lips and dry skin, both of which were worse in the winter (Thanks Chicago). Since going off it, I get little pimples again and my oily skin and hair came back. I wish I was still on Accutane because it was nice not having oily skin lol."


"I was put on Levaquin due to a nasty kidney infection that was found (finally) after I went to the ER because of severe seizures. I have epilepsy, Pallindromic arthritis, and Lupus. After reading this information. My husband picked up the script for me and he was told that these needed to be taken at the same time. Now I am bothered because the side effects of this drug are very much like what I live with daily (joint pain, rashes, seizures, insomnia, etc). I am wondering if this drug is really a good fit for me? But my kidney is GRATEFUL."


"I take 3x 75mg throughout the day. I feel sedated on it sometimes but I can function. I have no anxiety and depression episodes never get below a point. My mood is way more stable and I don't ever get the huge downers but occasionally still get the big highs. Usually I am just feeling content which is where I want to be.

It has saved my life and I can now hold down a job and get back to Uni."


"I love this birth control. I've been on the pill for about 6 months and I still have NO Side effects, well I do eat alot. I'm now 159 lbs but that's okay. I got on this pill for birth control but mainly for acne, and it works so great. It gets worse before it gets better, I recommend this pill for everybody. Try it."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about 3 years. When I first started taking it in was absolutely convinced that I was pregnant. I had more pregnancy symptoms than my actual three prior pregnancies. Luckily that experience faded after the first month and now Loestrin is just part of my morning coffee and has very little effect on me. Except that I find my PMS symptoms are wicked. Pros: very light periods but just enough to reassure you.
Cons: Lower sex drive, Costly if not covered by insurance."


"I am on 120mg of Cymbalta to treat my chronic depression, PTSD and anxiety (severe child abuse survivor and adult sexual assault survivor), and chronic pain (spinal disorder required fusing all but one vertebra in my neck and the vertebra in my lower back; plus severe arthritis in my knees, hips, and both AC joints). I have been on 24hr narcotics, Ativan, and many antidepressants. Of course narcotics work, but they caused me to have heart problems. Ativan is great, but doctors are reluctant to prescribe long-term. I thought the panic attacks, insomnia, hot flashes, obsessive worry and dread, gloom, weepiness and loss of interest in everything would be forever. Cymbalta helped me get my life back."


"SO....acid blockers pretty much changed my life. First was Pepcid (when it was prescription) than Zantac than the PPI's.  The PPi's were a bit better. I got Acephix then Nexium.  Before these wonder drugs came about I had CHRONIC gastro issues that eventually led to a week long stay at the hospital because of an ulcer. Anyway, been taking Nexium; works great. Prescription plan covered it than the patent runs out and they put it OTC. I get the generic & it's good but not as good. The OTC Nexium sucked! Now, Barock Insane O bOnghit stumbles in to the Whitehouse and screws up healthcare. Now generic Nexium is $175 because it's not covered under my prescription plan. Thanks, guys you really know ho to screw things up!"


"I quit cold turkey for 6 years and then had a slip, I went on Habitrol and it made quitting amazingly easy by comparison. I had another slip and went on Nicoderm, the itching sensation literally drove me mad and I ripped it off and through it in the garbage. Habitrol had some very mild itching as well but it was easily manageable and dissipated shortly. My mom was told she was having an "allergic reaction" to Nicoderm because the itching was very severe and I've known a handful of people personally who experienced the exact same thing, a maddening itch, sometimes even an actual rash from Nicoderm patches. Habitrol was way better for me and I would without a second thought-recommend it over Nicoderm."


"Worked wonderfully. Was on Bactrim for a week with no relief, but after my first pill of Cipro I felt 100 times better and was sleeping through the night. On my fourth day of taking and no side effects and feeling awesome."


"Took 150mg a day for several years. I lived with the dizziness when getting up or kneeling down. Also adversely affected my urination habits. Hard to go, weak stream etc. The doctor switched me to Benicar 20mg. Works better on lowering blood pressure, NO dizziness at all, and peeing is back to normal. Benicar is a MUCH MUCH better blood pressure medicine for me."


"Had my first injection today. No big deal at all. After reading all kinds of reviews I was anticipating a rough experience. In and out of the office in  20 minutes then off to work."


"I only used Levaquin for 7 days.  I had tendon pain and the UTI was some better but not gone."


"I had no problems with it. It saved my life. I didn't bleed. Until last June 2015. I bleed June until I made a doctor appointment with my doctor in August 2015. Well I found out that I had cervical cancer and a tumor growing in my right ovary. Cervical cancer runs in my family. Fyi go and get checked. They don't test women until they are 35 and over. I found out when I was 29. I have had migraine headache since I could remember. Weight gain none until I was put on so much medication. Now here's the down side. I had mine removed last Thursday 2016 to see if it helps lesson the headaches, also found out that I beat cancer in the booty. Nope they have gotten worse. I'm not sleeping. My stomach is killing me. Omgosh my hormones are out of wack."


"Excellent and I love that it increases my appetite since I have a hard time eating. Helps calm me so I can sleep."


"I just got my 3rd rod in Feb. 2015 and I am not sure why I got another one instead of trying something different. It does work very well but the side effects are terrible. I got on it because I thought it would make my periods go away and it didn't, it just made them much longer and I recently had to start taking iron pills to help. The first 2 years I gained 30 pounds and I became very depressed and anxious ( which is still going on in year 7). I do not sleep very well and I am not sure if it is the birth control or not but I am always tired and never have energy. I have a sex drive but some times I get a really sharp pain in my lower stomach that makes not want to have sex because the pain it causes is not worth it."


"Take only as need due to severe neuropathy of amputated foot.  Take only when pain is severe.  Does not give me headaches as Vicodin and other similar medications."


"I got the mirena placed last Friday and it was excruciatingly painful and I have been bleeding heavily and cramping since. I am thinking of going to the hospital to have it removed as it is the holidays."


"Been on it since Feb 1st 2016..I am 5'2" and started at 228. .as of today July 8th 2016 I am now  188..began in a size 22 in jeans and 1x-2x tops...now size 12-14 jeans and lg-xlge tops. It doesn't suppress appetite so don't expect it too..it just teaches us to control cravings...don't expect to lose weight without diet and exercise with this..if so, this pill is not for you..this is best raw opinion and results in can give...good luck!! Hope this helps!!!

Ps....try applying for the Takeda assistance program..they will help with paying with med if u are having  trouble!!"


"Was prescribed this med years ago for anxiety.   I take 300 mg three times per day. morning, noon, and night.The  doctor is about to up the dose a bit because I've been on the same dose for so long, and sometimes I get extra anxious or can't sleep so asked if I could have the option to take an extra when I need it. This medication is amazing... I can't say enough about it to be honest. It has helped me so much live my life without that constant nagging anxiety, social awkwardness, and it helps regulate my moods as well !"


"I began Strattera two days ago and the first day I had problems urinating immediately. I also noticed problems holding an erection. Day two was even worse as I could hardly urinate and when I got sexually exited I could not have an erection at all. I have never had sexual problems before and urinating has always been normal. I blame Strattera because it's the only new medication I was taking. I also take Lithium for depression and Prozac for my sexual addiction. "


"Took 2 500 mg pills of this medication around 10pm. Soon after I had very bad stomach pains. Slight nausea, felt very ill. Was super sluggish, and a weird headache. Couldn't get to sleep until about 430am. Then I woke up with a swollen, sore throat that lasted pretty much all day, feeling similar to Strep. Stomach pains & nausea were gone though. Vaginal discharge & smell have pretty much subsided, so I would think it's working. Guess you just have to rough the side effects."


"I took this pill for 3 months, and I got acne after 6 days of the first pack. It never cleared up completely until after I stopped taking the pill. It would clear up a little during the placebo week. I've never had a problem with hormonal acne, and I broke out over my shoulders, and chin significantly. It was extremely embarrassing,"


"My 11 year old daughter started taking this a week ago and for the first time in her life she is breathing through her nose. As  a result she's not waking up exhausted.  Hallelulia!"


"This Zicam product works wonders it completely takes the worse conditions of Nadal congestion and makes it feel like you never had a problem after you use it. It's a secret remedie that's for sure"


"Weight gain.  HOT Flashes.   Shrinking testicles"


"I started taking 3mg/day Prograf almost a week ago for my heart transplant.  I was on cyclosporin but was having lots of muscle pain and cramps from the cyclosporin.  Since starting the Prograg I've been itching non stop.  Its apparently one of the side effects.  I've also gained some fluid in my legs and hands.  Another side effect.  I hope the itching goes away soon or I'll have to switch to something else.  "


"As a fence contractor I was bitten on the chest by a lyme tick which was incorrectly removed.  I did have an ecchymotic area surrounding the bite but not the characteristic bulls eye erythema migrans rash.  After three months I developed a fever of approximately 102 which persisted for a month.  Weakness,  sweats and phantom sun rashes led me to conclude the strong possibility of Lyme infection.  I began taking doxycycline hyclate which appears to be the best orally tolerated form  of this antibiotic for most people.  I took an initial dose of 200mg daily divided as 100mg q. 12hrs or twice daily.  My fever dissipated slowly over a week and other symptoms went into remission,  some of which were so subtle I did nit attribute them to Lyme."


"I have suffered from major depression for over 20 years.  The past 2 1/2 years have been devastating.  I have now treatment resistant depression.  I have been on all of the "modern" and some "old school" antidepressants including Lithium and MAOIs.  I have had 2 rounds of ECT treatments in the past 2 years.  They have knocked the suicidal ideation for a little while but this most recent round of 12 required "Maintenance" sessions.  I have had 3 maintenance ECTs then my psych doc prescribed me Provigil.  I started at 100 mg for 2 weeks then upped it to 200 mg. for the past 2 weeks.  I have made it through the holiday season feeling the best I have in years. Now I am back to the way I was before my depression.   Don't know why but it works."


"Was only on this for 4 days. I yook 25mg in the mornings. The side effects were bad and got progressively worse. My head felt weird and also headaches that lasted hours on end. Took extra long to fall asleep the third day. I barely ate the third and fourth day because the naseua was so bad. I would eat something small then feel like vomitting. The last day I tried to take it before bedtime as directed to try to sleep through the bad parts, but ended up calling off work because of severe insomnia. I would not recommend this stuff for anyone. Stay away from this stuff!"


"I am experiencing significant pain/aching in my lower back from this drug."


"I have taken many different birth controls during my 20s but this is by far the worse. It took reading this site to realize how bad this medicine is for my body. Been on it for 3 months now. I have developed bad acne, have horrible headaches everyday and my periods have gotten so bad I'm pretty much on bed rest the whole time. The cramps have me doubling over and feeling as if I may vomit. My period is so heavy it is making my anemia worse and I get lightheaded often. I'm sure it works just fine for some women but I am currently in the fetus position trying to ride this out and will not take again."


"I got the implant towards the end of October 2014 and it is now beginning of March 2015. I didn't have a period at all until December. It lasted about two weeks and then I got it again on New Years. From then i had it continuously for a month and a half. It wasn't too heavy but still enough to be annoying. My doctor gave me some birth control pills and gave me a set schedule to regulate the bleeding. I finished taking the pill regimen and now I have to see if the period continues. After getting the implant I lost about 17 lbs and was still losing weight except for I started taking the pills and gaining again. My mood and sex drive were a little off at the beginning but quickly returned back to normal."


"Now, I consider myself someone who has a pretty high pain tolerance. I love needles and piercings and tattoos and have dealt with some pretty severe injuries. I have felt pain.
The physical insertion was only slightly uncomfortable and lasted only a few seconds.
However, the cramp I felt after was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced. I sat lightheaded, sweating and almost crying in the room for 5 minutes after. I walked out and it was all I could do not to pass out while simply booking my next appointment.
I went out to my car and turned on max AC and laid my seat back for a good 30 minutes.
Mild cramping next few days. All in all most painful thing ever but only lasts like 45 minutes."


"My understanding is that using a gel helps provide a more even dose that going with shots.  I do have to comment on the strong smell of Testim.  Its not a bad smell however it is too strong.  Would you want to go into an important business meeting after having dumped on a half bottle of some strong perfume?  Not me. I am considering asking my doctor for alternatives to Testim just because of its smell."


"Quitiapine turned my anxiety into anger and severe suicidal ideas.

Anxiety turned into anger and made me act badly toward my family

Although I stopped quetiapine 4 months ago, and these symptoms have mostly disappeared, I still have to deal with child protection services and similar legal issues.

If your doctor prescribes this, be VERY careful and notice any sign of negative change."


"I switched from Kariva because I was having pretty bad cramping during my period. I have been on Loestrin for a week.  The first 3-4 days I had severe migraines constantly.  I was relieved when that passed, but a few days later the insomnia began.  I have a horrible time falling asleep and when I can fall asleep it's a very light sleep and I feel exhausted all day which is terrible since I have a 14 month old to care for. I'm talking to my doctor and either switching back to Kariva (I'd rather have cramps than this) or using another method. I'm over pills. Can someone please make a pill for men? It's so unfair that we have to put our bodies through this to prevent pregnancy."


"I have taken other drugs for my tremors and this one has had the best results with the least amount of side effects."


"For some people, it works. Not for me though... I've had a period ever since I got it before Christmas. It makes me extremely moody and emotional. It's now maybe working better? But not sure. I regret it, and I'm too scared to get it taken out. Even though it didn't hurt that bad to put in."


"Prescribed this drug to take twice a day for 7 days for bv. Noticed after day two the symptoms were subsiding. For the first 6 days I took it straight after lunch and dinner with a bottle of water. Had barely any side effects apart from on day 3 I woke up feeling nauseous and with a headache but nothing major at all. And on day 7 I forgot to take the drug after my dinner so ended up taking it 4 hours later, and noticed a slight tummy ache. Overall I would definitely recommend this drug for BV"


"It worked really well to clear up my urinary tract infection and within a day I had no symptoms; however, I was so tired while I was taking this! I also would get feeling of nausea quite often and occasionally would make me vomit. I took on a full stomach but still got the feelings of nausea and fatigue."


"At first I thought I had found a *miracle medicine* for my schitzoaffective disorder, as I was waking up early each morning with energy. Over time I noticed an increasingly strong yet underlying feeling of anxiety, which led me to have constant severe panic attacks. At one point I had to leave the mall as I had such a feeling of anxiety, terror and paranoia washing over me. If you are prone to anxiety or paranoia steer clear as you will likely feel out of control on this medication, especially at the doses above 10mg."


"I had the Implanon inserted in January. No weight gain or mood swings. The only thing I do not like is my period which I have been on for about 5 weeks now. Wonder if it's ever going to stop. Other than that I'm fine. And I will not be taking this out any time soon because I hated the pills and the Depo shot and besides I'm not trying to have another child anytime soon."


"Have taken cipro before for a uti with no problems; & immediate relief. This time after 2 days of 500 MG twice a day right calf muscle cramping horribly along with tingling & numbness on bottom of both feet.  Very lethargic, but uti is better. Will cut in half & try 250 MG 3 times a day."


"After being backed up for over two weeks, being asked how many months pregnant I was, and several suppositories, I tried MC grape flavor. It tasted AWFUL! Within 15 mins, I finished the bottle and immediately felt nauseous. An hour later I threw up like it wasn't anyone's business! 3 hours into it, I decided to use fleet liquid glycerin which helped my pass the "plug". I then went 3 hours with nothing. For the past 2 hours, I've rushed to the throne and have made it rain! I'm talking massive explosions and I know there's still more. I've probably lost 5lbs thus far, no lie! I highly recommend taking MC on an empty stomach because you will feel nauseous. Stay hydrated & use baby wipes. I longer look 7 months pregnant!! Happy pooping!!  :)"

"I've had my Mirena in for 4 years. The reason I got it in is because I had bad endometriosis pain and symptoms. Since then the 1st couple of months I had a lot of bleeding and cramps but then my  body adjusted to it all and life has been great! I'm able to function properly again and have never felt this good. I don't get any period bleeding either. Just some light spotting now and then. I love it. Since I'm not ready to have kids yet, I will probably get another one put in soon."


"I started at 10 mg on this, but quickly went to 25 mg, as the pain was too much. Now I´ve levelled it to 20 mg per day, in the evening, and it has been wonderful, This, along with a careful diet, have helped and almost put in remission my IC symptoms. Side effects for me include grogginess, but that´s wearing away the more I take it and, for sure, a huge spike in my apetite, which I´ve had to be careful about as I don´t want to gain weight on it. It´s not a miracle drug, but it worked for me, and I think anyone suffering from this condition should give it a try."


"I had moderate to severe depression on and off, mostly on, for years.  Nothing seemed to work, until I tried Abilify. I take about 2-3mg a day. I have been on it for five years now with no side effects and no recurrence of depression symptoms.  "


"Had very embarrassing sweating problems for the past 5 years and have tried everything from "clinical strength" deodorant to using a special crystal rock-none can even compare at ALL to Hypercare. It has changed my life for the better and now I feel more comfortable at work and wearing new styles. It does burn a bit after applying, but the pain is totally worth the outcome of having dry armpits. Best product I've used. Cheers to Hypercare."


"Seems to increase capacity for recalling short-term information Vs. mid-term. Noticeably easier to learn during use. There seems to be complications with taking this herb/extract.

It may be causing:
Increased light sensitivity; car headlights, transitioning from indoors to outdoors and any focused light i.e. lasers. The effects are described as a searing pain near my retina or ocular nerves.
Possible interaction with smoked cannabis in the evening, only when lying down for sleep with internal sensations of cranial and neural pulsating. Possibly caused uncomfortable ringing in the ears, more frequent with cannabis use. The latter was non-specific to left or right. Likely best taken in isolation (with food) in the pre-dawn hours - (not sure)"


"I tried it several times with and without Cialis, didn't do a thing for me. It cause vein swelling and pressure in my lower left leg which I thought was odd. Will not use it again."


"I've suffered from nerve damage for 10 years. I've taken most all the medications prescribed for pain. I've always needed to up my dose after short periods of time. I finally got tired of it not being able to function because the amount need to take the pain away would make me loopy or high. So I was put on methadone. Took that for 6 years still needing to up my dose 1-2 times a year. At end I was taking 12 pills a day. Found a doctor who suggested Subutex. I now have been on Subutex for 1 1/2 years not needing to raise my dose. I'm taking 20 mg or 2 1/2 pills a day compared to 12 pills a day. Insurance fights me every 6 months saying it's only for addicts. I submit extra paperwork from my doctor. It's quite expensive too but worth it."


"I got the 7-day combination pack with all the nice stuff to help the itching of your YI stop, hoping that would bring my suffering to an end... little did I know I'd be up the entire night crying.... the burning and itching is 10x worse than the YI... DON'T use this, whatever you do...."


"I've been battling acne ever since I was a teenager, and now I'm 23, still battling acne until here recently. I had heard about Differin, and how adapalene can help stubborn acne. I purchased the gel about 2 weeks ago, and I must say my breakouts are almost gone. I dealt with dryness and a burning sensation the first few days, but my skin got used to it after that. What helps is washing your face, applying moisturizer, and THEN applying the differin. This makes it less harsh for the skin. I can't wait to see how my skin will look in 2 months. Don't give up on this stuff, it's a work in progress."


"Lowered cholesterol from 290's to 170.

Side effects:

More tired than when I don't take it.

Can't eat grapefruit or products that contain it.

Anything consumed with yeast solids (unfiltered beer[Blue Moon], yeast based vitamins[Foodform Manna], yeasty breads, etc.) causes constipation."


"My daughter had great symptom control, but developed urinary and fecal incontinence after being on it for over a year.  Back to looking for the next best medication."


"I got Skyla just a few days ago. The actual procedure part lasted maybe 2 minutes...those 2 minutes felt like 2 hours though. Worst pain ever! However, I have not spotted one bit since! I was really worried after reading multiple reviews saying that women spotted for weeks right after they had it put in..I guess I'm not quite out of the woods yet but I'm feeling great! I will say that the day I had the procedure I thought I was going to be able to go into work but the cramping was so bad for about 3 hours after the procedure I wasn't able to do anything except lay on the couch with a heating pad! But ever since that cramping subsided I have been 100% normal. I hope this helps some of y'all make the decision! :)"


"I have used levocetrizine. It makes me sleep for 20 hours. I feel so drowsy. I can't even work in the mornings. Although I took it at night still till midday I was so drowsy I could just drop down and sleep anywhere. I think I need to change this medicine."


"My hands were so dry from work and corn huskers lotion made them feel better almost immediately. Within days my hands were back to feeling normal."


"Low estrogen is a very common thing in my family. I told my doctor about this, and she prescribed Tri-Sprintec, because it has triple the amount of estrogen found in women. If you don't have low estrogen, and you are using Tri-Sprintec, of course you are going to experience unpleasant side effects such as acne, mood swings, weight gain, etc. I've been taking it for over a year, and my family says I'm a much more pleasant person to be around now that I have something ridding me of my terrible mood swings. I can effectively lose weight while taking it and have little to no acne. I went two months without it and gained weight, also breaking out in acne. "


"I have sjogrens so have a dry mouth. From the first time I tried it I was impressed with no dryness from alcohol in my mouth, no burning.  This mouth wash has kept my breathe and mouth slightly moist for awhile afterward use too.  I highly recommend this for dry mouth, from medications or medical conditions."


"It has been an amazing product, I am using this for two years daily and it removed all my pimples and marks, I like this product, no major reaction problems, some times skin may redden, but I rate it 10 out of 10"


"Started at 75 then gradually increased to 300 mg over the course of about a year. Has worked so well for me. 300 mg is optimal for me. If I drop below that my symptoms return within a few days. It has horrible withdrawal effects though. Nausea, headache, dizziness, weakness. It's worth it to me though. I can think clearly, focus on work, not irritated , not depressed or having horrible thoughts on repeat all day. Have not had thoughts of harming myself since I've been on it. Also I have social anxiety. Now I can go places without fear and heart pounding. I've tried paxil, and wellbutrin, but this is it for me. Hope this helped."


"I have been taking Elavil for over 5 years now and I must say it has changed my whole outlook completely. I was diagnosed as bi-polar, depressed and an insomniac. This medication has improved all three of my conditions."


"This thing is giving me so many problems it's ridiculous. I've had to drive all the way to the gyno SEVERAL times because of my side effects. Coincidently, I have yet another appointment today. My body does not like this thing. When it was first placed inside, I experienced the worst pain I have ever felt in my life (no joke). If you want a pain rating, I'd give it a 10/10. I still felt cramping a while after and the pain was so bad that they put me in a different room in order to sleep off the pain. Keep in mind I took pain relievers before the process as suggested. When I finally gathered enough strength to drive myself home, I continued to feel pain (8/10) for the next 3-4 days. Period lasted about 10-13 days. *wish I could write more"


"Had this for  a wisdom teeth extraction. Apart from feeling a slight burning sensation when the needle was slid into my hand, it was great. Didn't feel or remember any part of the actual operation. Was very groggy, but I rested for a few hours at home afterwards and was fine by nightfall."


"Have been on testosterone cypionate as prescribed by doctor at 200 mcg bi-weekly.  Have noticed much increased energy and libido (I am a 58 year old man) and also strength-building.  It has also sharpened my mental concentration.  I was hypo-gonadal with 330 T level."


"After horrible experiences with a multitude of different antidepressants, the realization came upon me that I was possibly bipolar due to a prolonged episode of what I thought could be mania.  Well, my psychiatrist put me on Geodon (40 mg in the evening).  So far, it's been 2 months and I have had not one depressive or manic episode during this time. The first 2 or 3 days of taking the drug were awful- I had terrible brain fog, and just felt totally whacked-out, but that feeling disappeared after just a few days, so I can't complain too much.  I'm starting taking an additional 20 mg in the morning to hopefully curb some of my anxiety, so we'll see how that goes.  As far as psych meds go, this one has reigned far superior so far!"


"Amrix is good for muscle cramps. It reduces pain from a 10 to a 7 for me. That is a big deal for me. I am 24/7 in pain. No medicine can reduce that pain below a 5."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Pradaxa for 5 months.  The first two months, I really thought I would have to go back to warfarin due to stomach/bowel problems and significant heartburn.  After a couple of months, the digestive and bowel problems gradually went away.  I also discovered the heartburn was reduced by taking the pill right before or during a meal (not just a snack), along with taking it with a full glass of water, and not lying down for an hour or so after taking it.  I'm relieved that I can stay on it since I hated being on warfarin.  Hopefully the cost becomes more reasonable."


"This is my third month into Trinessa. I can't say I hate it, and definitely can't say I love it. During my first 2 weeks I experienced very awful breast tenderness (making roller coasters at the time not a pleasant experience) and some nausea and major headaches. My first period on this was a little hellish, but my periods before the pill were 8 long, heavy days. I was put on this pill for my acne. Before the pill, I always got acne before and after my period on my forehead (cystic) and when I started this pill I started only getting whiteheads (which is doable). It's the week after my period, and for 3 long weeks I've had awful cystic acne on my chin and forehead. I am planning to give the pill at least 3 more months."


"I have had heart disease for many years and always have a bottle (tiny!) of sub-lingual nitros in my pocket. When I feel chest pain, one under the tongue and the pain goes away, in my case, every time. The nitro works very quickly to dilate your blood vessels allowing more blood and oxygen to get to your heart muscle. Ask your doctor how to proceed should one pill not relieve the pain.

Sub-linguals have a limited life once the bottle is opened the first time, about 3-6 months. If you find yourself using all the pills within that time (25 tiny tablets, typically), then they are best. If you only need it occasionally, get the pump spray as it has a much longer life. It is, however, more expensive."


"LADIES!! Please do not take to heart everything you read online of other people's experiences. I am a 20 year old who has been on Yaz for the past 4 years and have never been pregnant. I went in today to have Skyla inserted at a local planned parenthood and I could not have been more nervous due to the terrible insertion stories that I had read online. When the doctor did the actual procedure it did not hurt AT ALL. I have had very minor cramping for the rest of the day but nothing significant and I only took 2 aleve tabs an hour prior to insertion. I also had the procedure not during menstruation and still had barely any pain! Please be aware that the experience is different for everyone and to not worry too much before going in!"


"It's a miracle product and I've just learned that Glaxo stopped manufacturing in 2014! It shrunk my enlarged pores and prevents any new breakouts - best medicine I've ever used and now scared they will stop producing it.  I've been using it over 8 years now. The out of pocket was a lot but it's so worth it and nothing else works like it."


"I started this 4 weeks ago, I am ready to quit, my nausea is so bad, it is hard to deal with. I was told it would go away, not! My sugars are running a lot lower and I stopped the actos. I feel like it is a huge rock in my stomach, and looking, smelling, or trying to eat makes me want to gag. I am hanging on one more week. My daughter is a nurse and does my injections, you need to do stomach and pinch up the skin making sure you don't see any veins. I have lost 10 #. and when I lay down to sleep I get heartburn really bad. I can't even sleep, I toss and turn sometimes the whole 8 hours, I am miserable!!!"


"I wished I hadn't visited this page before taking the MoviPrep because I had no worries until I saw the bad experiences. I have emetiphobia and saw others having chills and cramps, which were the symptoms of some of my worst bouts of digestive distress.  I am delighted to say the only unpleasant thing I experience was trying to get so much liquid down, because my wife mixed the prep for me and put 4 ounces too many. Other than that, it almost tasted kind of good. Maybe they've improved the flavor since what some other people experienced?  I did have slight cramps while first drinking the morning dose but that could have been the lemon wedges that I later stopped biting because the flavor wasn't an issue."


"For 3 years I have been battling bladder cancer. My bladder has shrunk, the pain has been great, the need to urinate is every 15 minutes or so. I have had 9 biopsies, some malignant and more recently 3 in a row benign.  I have interstitial cystitis and started using Tofranil 5 months ago.  Over the course of those 5 months Tofranil has gradually eliminated the pain and lengthened the time to urinate to once per hour.  To me, it is a miracle drug and I continue to take it with no side effects whatsoever."


"I started taking Xanax at age 20 and it was a great medicine. I had such bad panic attacks and just constant anxiety 24/7.  I started out on a low dose and within 15 mins I felt calm and fine. I got from the place of not being able to walk outside or answer the phone to being able to get married, have a job, go on vacations. Anything I wanted to do. I WAS NORMAL.  But now I'm 36 and on the highest dose 4 mg a day and about 4 1/2 years ago my horrible anxiety came back even though I'm taking it.  I can't work, drive or really go anywhere anymore.  So I guess I'd say it works but then you may build up a tolerance and then it won't work. "


"I have been taking 15mg of oxycotin 3 times a day.  Recently given palexia 50mg to replace a dose of oxycotin.  Gives me a bad headache and nausea but seems to reduce the pain same as the other meds. It stopped working and I have continued with the midday dose of oxycotin and use palexia to top up before bed. I often have to take ibuprofen to get rid of the headache. Not sure these are very helpful as morphine tends to make me more cranky than I would be on oxycotin."


"I have taken this for a chronic stuttering problem. It has lessened my anxiety, anxiousness and depressive moods in speech situatuions as well as daily stress. Due to being fast acting, it has been my experience this is the better of the many antidepressants, and anti-anxiety drugs. I have not found it addictive, and have had no side effects."


"A renowned medication to help PMDD, but barely helped me. Helped with my anxiety and depression quite well (despite lack of emotion), but always got hormonal monthly, which was confusing. It actually made some symptoms worse. On Lexapro now, so hopefully that helps!"


"I'm 19, and after a very poor experience with the birth control Beyaz, I was switched to Tri-Sprintec. After several months, my cramps have decreased in pain and my acne that I have struggled with for over 5 years is almost completely gone! I am amazed! haha. PLEASE, don't read reviews on the internet for a specific birth control and assume that will be your experience. Your hormones and needs are very unique, and it may take a few switches to fully figure out which brand is meant for you. I spent countless hours stressing over reviews/etc when I really just needed to try and see what happened. Birth control is complicated and will not affect any two women the same way. Listen to your doctor and trust what they say!"


"Tiredness/ fatigue

Confused/forgetful

Dry/ burning eyes

Ringing in my ears

Skin feels like it is crawling. My hands and forearms feel like they are burning, like all the nerve endings are on fire, to a lesser degree this is also affecting my feet. I can't bare anyone touching me, even the slightest touch is painful. Clothes are irritating me.

Can't sleep/disturbed sleep

Swollen ankles

My vision seams more blurred,  I have to take my glasses off to read now.

I can't go outside without getting horribly sunburned in a matter of minutes. I am having to wear factor 50+ inside the house and still getting sunburned inside. I feel like a prisoner, unable to go about daily tasks and share time with my family.

I feel dizzy,  and a little wobbly"


"I started on 9/22/17, at 182 lbs. and today, I weighed in at 173.8lb.  Yes, I had all the symptoms that have been expressed, and I am finally at the end of my 4th week, and feel so much better.  Drink lots of water (I only drink water now), take a Pepcid in the morning before you eat to help with the nausea when you take the medicine.  Don't drink a lot of coffee if you are a coffee drinker, that will make the symptoms worse.  Also it makes you think about healthier choices for your food and drink.  I've quit drinking, alcohol, cigarettes, and caffeine.  I don't think about it, or crave it.  I need to lose 30 more lbs. to be at my desired weight.  Will check back in later on, with my progress.  It works, just hang in there!!!"


"I take 2.5mg and have taken it for 14 years. It does stop the pain in 15 minutes but I feel like I have the flu after and lately a lot of bladder pain, urinary infections every 6 months and urinating a lot with loss of urinary control. I am 65 years old and have had migraines forever.
Does anyone experience bladder issues? Is it because i have been on it so long and it is hurting the bladder?"


"I have been taking 20mg at night for a couple of years and can't praise it highly enough. I had terrible muscle cramps and twitching and constant burning pain in my arms and legs, within a few days of starting the drug, my symptoms began to ease. The twitching is now only very mild, the pain is  2 out of 10 and the spasms non existent! Magic."


"I was put on Zoloft for PTSD. I took 25 mg daily for just over 3 months. It really did help my anxiety and allowed me to finish the school year. With Zoloft I have been a lot calmer, and it really helped me with day to day activities. If you just started this medication and are experiencing side effects, hang in there! My first week made me very nauseous and gave me insomnia. The nausea lasted only a week for me. Even though it did wonders for my mental health, it gave me a lot of physical health issues, so I had to stop taking the medication. It caused me to gain a lot of weight in a short amount of time. Furthermore it caused a slight bedwetting issue and very elevated liver enzymes. Good for anxiety, but my body didn't like it."


"I have severe flight anxiety and was prescribed Ativan 5-10 years ago to take before flights.  It works really well, and gives me this deep feeling of calm that helps me not panic on planes.  I used to shake for an entire eight hour flight, and while my anxiety doesn't entirely disappear with a 2mg dose, it's vastly more manageable.

I haven't really noticed any side effects aside from feeling sleepy and having my mind wander a bit."


"I was pre-diabetic and had a heart to heart with my doc about how it was time to change my habits.  I started this in June 2016, lost an average of 10lb per month - started at 226lb and got down to 186lb before easing off of it to maintain on my own.  I hadn't had to worry about food in my youth but 3 kids, work and middle age had crept up on me and I obsessed about food.  This was a magic pill which just STOPPED me thinking about food outside of what was necessary for just living - no craving, no obsessing, no hassle.  It helped me reset my life and habits."


"I've had this birth control for about 4 months now. My periods last for like 15 days every month and it's really annoying. But it's very effective when it comes to preventing pregnancy."


"I’m so envious of those of you that this worked on! I have completed 2 months of this pill daily and nothing. I did get some side effects the first week (faster heart rate, jittery, dry mouth, muscle clenching) and felt I was eating less but clearly not. I still feel just as hungry and I’m on the 37.5mg dose! My dr told me to take a pill and a half to see if that helps and so far it has not . I am so depressed as my eating is out of control I am literally always hungry which is why I needed help with the pill in the first place. I just wish I’d had the luck you all have had."


"Great medicine. I just wish it wasn't so expensive."


"I have been on two other DMARDs (Enbrel and Orencia) with little or only so-so results. With Remicade I felt relief almost immediately with no adverse reactions. I noticed my inflammation and pain have greatly decreased but most importantly the fatigue that dogged me has lifted. I am hoping that this medicine keeps working for a long time. Best wishes."


"It has been 2 months since I was put on Biaxin (see my entry on March 3). I only got through 4 days of a 10 day course. I have had diarrhea for 2 months, have lost 20 lbs, have nausea off and on every day. I have had many work ups and stool samples, all negative. My ears have been ringing (tinnitus) since I went on Biaxin. All day and night. It has really taken a huge toll on my life. I wish the doctor had told me to take probiotics. I have esophageal candida from good bacteria being wiped out. My gastroenterologist has to wait until my GI heals a bit before a colonoscopy and a long course of anti fungals to tame the candida. And the sinus thing? Still present. Biaxin has really messed up my body, and my life."


"Since switching to Bystolic from atenolol I have experienced my arms falling asleep at night and light headedness. Coreg CR made me cloudy in thinking, felt like a rubber band was around my chest, and I didn't feel as calm as when I was taking atenolol. I switched from atenolol to Coreg CR so I could overcome the wall I would hit while pushing cardio-excercise to the limit. I felt great everyday all day long on atenolol."


"I have been on latuda for 3-4 years at 40 mg. I also take celexa for my bipolar 1 disorder . The latuda has helped me feel better but the weight gain of 50 lbs I put on has depressed me to the point that I stopped taking latuda this week. So far I have just experienced some insomnia and racing thoughts. I pray that these symptoms will pass soon. I am looking into treating my bipolar1 with vitamins and minerals. If you have any suggestions or thoughts please share them. I am hoping to lose all the weight I gained. Thank you and God Bless."


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


"I feel like the ground is moving under me , I have headaches and diarrhea .  My hands hurt a lot, I wear white gloves  to try to protect them .  It would be better to learn what is causing it than to be medicated .  I am not as happy as I was before this medicine .  Why can they make this medicine , but not know what is wrong ?"


"I started taking Cialis to treat ED after prostate removal and find it to be helping me significantly, been using it for about 5 weeks, even though I have not had a good enough erection necessary for intercourse, it is getting there slowly. I did develop what appears to be related to Cialis (since it started when I started to take this medicine), I developed a small red patch on the tip of my tongue, I wonder if anyone has or had this issue. Thank you"


"I have had ParaGard for 5 years and it has been perfect for me.  I have never had children and insertion HURT. I hadn't prepared or taken any pain killers. I needed pain killers for a week and my next three or four periods were more painful. To be fair, I had previously been on the pill which regulated my periods and made them nearly painless. I love not worrying about birth control and the pain of insertion was for sure worth it. It doesn't bother my husband at all.

I would recommend this as a long- term bc. I had to go on hormonal bc very young to be allowed to take an unrelated medication. I wanted to do something natural that I didn't have to remember daily. I would just recommend pain killers before you get it put in!"


"I've had 3 implants in total now and just had my last one removed after having it for a year. I had two with no problems apart from acne. The last I had after I had my first child and it was the worst thing ever. I'd lost all the baby weight then had the implant inserted and gained 3 stone back in about 4 months. Nothing would shift it. It completely changed my appetite, gave me horrible acne and dandruff and reduced my sex drive to nothing.

I had it removed 7 days ago and it was the best decision ever. In just 7 days I've lost 7lbs by doing nothing, dandruff has nearly gone and my skin has nearly all cleared up.

I loved the implanon implant before having my baby but after it just seemed to cause so many side effects it wasn't worth it."


"awful!this med is soooo bad.doesn't stick to cheek or absorb the BUP.It had me doubting myself?And........ahhhhhhh."......Why are they pushing this BS??????worst 2 weeks I have had in treatment..........Sick,withdrawing, but go back toDr Tuesday to change back to suboxone,almost relapsed"........Hating the Insurance now for only covering this stuff?"


"Hi, I have taken this medicine for a year. I have found that it works, but it takes a lot of work (if that makes any sense.) I
I am on 400mg a day for narcolepsy. I have found with this medicine if I take it and then eat, almost no effect, if I eat wait about an hour, take the pill then that's fine.
If I don't drink a lot of water then it doesn't matter, because it doesn't work.
For a person that always wants to sleep, scheduling this little pill twice a day is almost not worth it."


"Since I started taking Desogen its cleared up my acne. The one thing I don't like about it is the mood swings. One moment I'm mad and another I'm crying. I have also noticed I have been losing weight since I started taking it. I have also noticed that me and my boyfriend have been fighting a lot because of the mood swings."


"Been on Latuda 40MG for about three weeks. I'm still having some depression, sadness, but not nearly what I was when I first started on it. My Psych DOC and I are considering a jump to 80MG, but I'll be trying to get pregnant soon. Other than that, I think it's doing okay."


"I have been on this pill for about 2 years now and it gets worse and worse each month. I have experienced horrible nausea, headaches, mood swings and depression. I constantly have bleeding throughout the month and my period never comes when I'm supposed to have it. It is almost as irregular and heavy as it was when I didn't take the pill. I get extremely bad cramps and bloating aswell. Currently in the process of trying to switch to a new pill.. Very angry."


"I'm 55 years old and in reasonably good health but noticed I was losing it about 5 years ago to the point where my wife and I were having very little sex.  I got scammed in one of those ED clinics, tried a pump (it was awkward and not that effective) and then I tried Viagra.  While it worked, it gave me the worst headaches and sinus along with severe flushing, which was bad for my complexion.  Finally I went and saw a good urologist who steered me to Cialis. Unbelievable!  On 20 mg I must have had sex 15 times over a long weekend, something not done since we were in our twenties.  The residual effect of this medicine is amazing.  My wife is a very happy woman."


"I used this medication for about a year for bursitis in my left shoulder. When taken regularly it did help reduce my pain quite a bit. I could definitely tell when I did not take it every day. The pain would return pretty bad. I did not want to take cortisone shots so this worked well for me."


"My mother in law had cdiff for 10 months. Flagyl and vancomycin were given repeatedly with cdiff returning after a day or two. I found difficid after doing some research on line. Took the doctors 2 months to agree to prescribe it.  She took the difficid for 10 days and has been clear of cdiff for a month and has been able to resume her chemo treatments."


"Worst pill I have ever taken! I am very regular without any pill. I started taking this after I had my son for pregnancy prevention because my doctor said it wouldn't interfere with my milk production. However right after I started taking it, my milk totally stopped. I mistakingly continued to take it for birth control. Now I have bled for 12 days of the last month. Just when I think it has stopped I get less than a week off and it starts again. Heavy and for long periods 7 days plus!!! I am stopping this immediately!! I have never he's a problem like this with any pill I have taken!! Horrible!"


"It's only day 2 and I swear I already feel more like myself. I don't even think it could be from a placebo effect...because I actually went to bed last night and woke up in the morning (this hasn't happened in years)! I used to wake up 4-5 times a night.  I also woke up BEFORE my alarm and with energy! I regained my sex drive. I also feel more positive throughout the day, with less drops in energy. I am excited to see the effects as I continue this medication even longer. I tried for so long to battle my depression without meds, but feeling like myself again now has made me wish I did it sooner. I feel that I can be more productive & that my focus is better. Try it..there's no point in struggling so hard to feel normal, life is short!"


"I knew I struggled with ADD in college but refused to go on medication because of the stigma associated with Adderall. My father has ADD as well and refused medications. Now at 56 he is homeless, can't hold down a job, can't control his finances, health, or any responsibilities. When I graduated college and started my full-time job I realized that I was heading towards the same path as my pops. I love my job and am very passionate about it, but following instructions or staying on task during an 8 hour work day was IMPOSSIBLE. 5mg of XR/day (2x on my v. busy days) saved my job and life! I feel like I finally have a clutch to support me with my disability now. It has improved every aspect of my life: social, financial, academic, etc."


"I think it's great, got the smallest one T360 I think , hurt a lot getting it in but didn't last long! Cramps all night could not sleep from pain! Next day much better then nothing. Can't tell it's there! Except stomach bloated lots! For about a week then went to normal felt a bit run down as well and a lot of discharge! And felt down depressed! But after 2 weeks fantastic! PMS symptoms before period but no spotting, yay normally get a lot of acne on chin! Period normal, definitely recommend."


"I have used Carac for 4 weeks. After the 1st week I began seeing flakiness, redness, burning and itching.  Taking a warn shower was painful, being in a car with the heat on was painful.  But I've gotten through it.  Layers and layers of skin have peeled off.  Underneath my skin is as soft as a baby's bottom and clear.  Compared to having these lesions continually burned off, this short term uncomfortable condition was a better method."


"I got pregnant after 6 months of using it. The IUD was removed and I had a miscarriage."


"venlafaxine is a HORRIBLE drug. I have put three stone on in the few months I was on it, despite being active!I asked to be put in an antidepressant that didn't have that side effect so this has made me feel even worse. You mustcbe good at remembering the exact time to take this or withdrawals kick in within a few hours!tapered down over the space of one month to the smallest 37.5 dose, I am on day 7 of no ven and it's been the week from hell!hearing voices,vertigo, nausea,vomiting,crying for hours, mania,severe anger, crazy thoughts, head zaps (the weirdest sensation) confusion,memory loss,sweating, took me a week to feel even slightly human and still feel crap!taking diazepam to calm symptoms,terrified it has caused irreparable damage."


"So I just started this yesterday and wonder I am feeling a little bit worked up (sexually charged) has anyone else experienced this?

My main concern was dryness I had a hysterectomy, 11 years ago and was taking Estradiol and didn't really feel anything different would still get the hot flashes mostly during the day but BOY o BOY today definitely increased libido!

Just looking to see if this is normal?"


"Works great, strong stuff."


"I just got home from pharmacy and I purchased the 3 day pack. I was planning on waiting until right before I sleep tonight to do the first one, but my lady part has been itchy all day so I just used the anti itch cream and holy moly it BURNS. It itches MORE now plus a burning sensation everywhere! It's like this for like 20 minutes then goes away. Even my butt burns and I don't even know why but if it's gonna be like this idk if I want to even start the first one!!!!!!"


"I love this pill I've been using if for over 4 years now. I had some pretty bad acne and my periods were heavy and long now my face is pretty clear and my period is still a little heavy but it's super short now (4 days tops) I haven't put on any weight since I started taking the pill my significant other and I haven't use a condom in over 4 years and I haven't gotten pregnant so it works!"


"I took ONE levaquin for a sinus infection and within 1 hour had a high fever. The blood vessels in my legs began leaking blood under my skin (a condition called vasculitis that is now permanent), my feet/hands were so swollen we almost had to cut off my wedding ring, and by the next morning I couldn't move ANY part of my body without excruciating pain. My doctor didn't know what was going on and called in a steroid, which helped me be able to move again, but it was a month before I could stand/walk. That was 5 years ago. I had an existing autoimmune disease and this drug made it much worse. I now have infusions of chemo to treat my vasculitis, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and I suffer from permanent neuropathy. DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG."


"I was prescribed Epiduo right before my senior year of high school, and I have now just finished my second year of college.  For all of you reading reviews, don't believe any reviewer who has used this medication for less than 6 months.

My dermatologist told me to use this every night, on my whole face.  I didn't have red pimples but I had comodogenic acne--very bumpy, textured skin that drove me crazy.  It took one full year to work, but it made my skin absolutely perfect--glowing, clear, tiny pores, everything I could ever have wanted.

Flash forward to now, and I have moved up to EpiduoForte, because my skin is used to the regular Epiduo.

There is no doubt about it.  This works. But you have to stick out the awful part."


"When I first had it inserted, I bled five months straight & was worried it wouldn't stop.  The doctor had me take motrin twice daily for 10 days.  Not sure if it was the solution, but it did stop.  I have yet to have my period again since then. I had the insertion done 2 months post partum. However, I have gone from 142lbs & losing weight fast, to 178lbs & my milk dried up after insertion.  I have had no diet changes, I workout 1 day less than normal.  I have severe migraines, morning sickness every now & again, & am now getting rashes on the arm that it is inserted in. I have involuntary muscle spasms and jerking of body. Showing allergy symptoms to hormone, will be getting it removed.  Good BC for nonsensitives."


"Worked quite well no side effects took half a caplet 2X daily to equal the recommended dose of 1 caplet per day to try and avoid any stomach discomfort."


"Ugh, it seems to be working on the 2nd day but about an hour after each dose my stomach is completely torn up and in a million cramps. It's so painful! I can't wait until this 5 day treatment is over so I don't have to go through this anymore!!"


"FIRE OMG. it is like a raging fire on my lady bits. I used the insert and then put the cream on and now my privates are red, swollen and burning!!!! I will NOT be using the second dose and if this feeling doesn't end after an hour I am showering as much as this off!"


"Third day on Clarithromycin, it has worked so far clearing up my chronic sinusitis, my voice is back and my sense of smell is back the only thing bad about it is the bitter taste in my mouth and lips. I don't know what to eat to change it. I make sure that I take my 2 500 tablets right after supper, I haven't had trouble with my stomach."


"About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder.  After a year or so on Desipramine, my shrink switched me to Paxil.  I've been taking 20mg/day for years now.  It saved my life.  About 10 years ago, after moving to a different State, I slowly weaned myself off Paxil at the suggestion of my former primary care physician.  In less than one year, I started having panic attacks again.  Long story short:  I'm on Paxil 20 mg/day for life.  It doesn't not make sense to suffer with Panic Disorder."


"I have been using the Lantus Solostar for about a month now.  The pen is very easy for me to use.  At first I had trouble just using one hand, so now after I insert the needle, I hold the pen in my left hand and depress the plunger with my right hand.  This gives me more control over the entire process and with no pain."


"I have had depression since I was 17 and recently started dealing with major anxiety issues, I was put on the 50mg pill and the first 2 weeks was really hard i was anxious,weak, and had mood swings.. 2 months later this has honestly been amazing for me and has helped me on so many levels,"


"I am a health care worker and  inherited the risks of heart disease and diabetes. Worked for years in a high stress University teaching hospital. Had vague symptoms, knew what to do and didnot delay getting to an ER. Called a friend/cardiologist - yes,had a heart attack without muscle injury(thank heavens!)Had triple bypass. Followed Doctors order to the "T". Recently started on lisinopril and have had improved blood pressure and heart rate control. Overall feel 90% better."


"I love my Nuvaring! I just stick it in for three weeks and forget it's even there. The first few months I was constantly checking to make sure it was still there because I couldn't feel it. I don't recommend doing this because touching it can make it shift around and cause you to feel its presence.

I was on Yaz before and it was a huge pain having to take a pill everyday because if I took it a few hours too early or late, I got my period twice a month. With Nuvaring, my periods are much shorter and lighter than ever before.

However, everybody is different so what works for me may or may not work for you. The only thing you can do is give it a try and see how you like it."


"With my 1st pregnancy, I suffered from severe morning sickness to the point that I lost a significant amount of weight. With my second pregnancy, I started getting very sick again and mentioned it to a nurse at my OB GYN office and she prescribed me Diclegis. Prior to that I had tried many other homeopathic solutions such as the Sea Bands and ginger. None of these worked for me. The diclegis worked from the morning after I first took them until now. At 12 weeks pregnant, I thought I might be out of the woods so I stopped taking the Diclegis last night. I have been nauseous all day and vomiting! It is obvious that these meds work.  I will be taking them again for the next 2 weeks. Only complaint is I'm more fatigued than usual when taking it"


"Headache, nauseous, on day one, left arm tingling day 1, 2, 3. Nightmare and neck pain day 4....and 3 more days to go...."


"I have had the Mirena for 2 years. I had it inserted a month after I delivered my first child since my doctor recommended it because pills gave me high blood pressure. I was very satisfied in the beginning. I don't get my period at all, no cramps, but I started noticing my skin getting a lot of acne. I am 28 years old and I do not tolerate this. I saw a dermatologist and she told me it was a Mirena side effect. I could not believe it but it is true. So you other than not becoming pregnant and not bleeding you may get acne. Balance the pros and cons."


"I have extremely painful periods. I'm talking pain so bad I cry and want to go to ER. I was given this to help with arthritis. And just happen to start same day well I took one and they are doable now I'm not doubled over crying. Don't get me wrong it still hurts but not nearly as bad."


"I just started taking Adipax on May 19 and today is the 9th of June and I have lost 23 lbs. I also included a diet of 1200 cals a day and 45 minutes of exercise. I could not be any happier with the results. I have had no side effects."


"Fantastic drugs. Lost a lot of weight with no side effects."


"I had mild to severe back acne with constant breakouts on my chest and face. My dermotologist prescribed me this specifically for my back acne but thank goodness it cleared up my face and chest! Before on a scale of 1-10 my face and chest were around a 7 but after being on the medication it's now a 1. My face/chest is now flawless and my back is now only left with scars. My back acne was extremely terrible but after using the medication for a few months, it stopped the breakouts and gave time for my skin to heal. I've used this medication for a little over one year now and I do admit you have to be patient with the medicine. As long as you don't pick and touch your problem spots then it should work nicely. I experienced nausea every morning when I take the medication and a loss in appetite but it's not that bad."


"This has been a miracle drug for me. I had a severe knee fracture, followed by OA. The pain can be unreal! This medicine allows me to work, do my household chores, well..to have a life again! When severe flare up's begin, it lowers my pain to a 2, seriously without it, I would be spending most of my time on the couch. It has truly been a blessing for me giving me my life back."


"I have been unable to control my blood pressure for about 10 years. When I began taking Tekturna my BP dropped to 117/62 from 176/114. I have had some side affects - nausea, stomach ache, sneezing, runny nose, but it is hard to tell whether is was from the medication or just a virus."


"Excellent stomach flu remedy. Stops symptoms quickly. For bad digestive issues such as the stomach flu the max liquid works better than caplets or chewable tablets. Gives fast effective relief."


"I have had a great experience with this medicine. I sleep through the night on it, wake up rested and free of any hangover, and it doesn't knock me out like benedryl does. I feel like I get a natural sleep. I've never experienced the night time issues that some have mentioned and have never experienced nightmares or vivid dreams as I have with other medicines."


"I'm not impressed with this medication.  My daughter was having some issues with Vyvanse, so her doctor put her on this.   Unfortunately she's back to her old self, completely out of control, taking hours to do a 15 minute assignment, playing with her paper, staring off into space, not focusing, etc.  First thing tomorrow I'm calling her doctor and putting her back on Vyvance. Last thing I want is for her grades to slip, she's already struggling enough as it is to keep them up. The nail biting from Vyvanse is just a minor side effect that we can deal with for now, otherwise she'll fail 3rd grade entirely."


"I've been using Ziana for since 2/2016 and this product has done wonders for me. I'm in my mid thirties and have never suffered from acne until the last few years. I'd get these painful "under the skin" bumps that I'd unfortunately squeeze (LEAVE THEM ALONE! Bothering them will only irritate them). I couldn't take it anymore so I visited my dermatologist and he prescribed me Ziana gel. For the first week you will only use it every other day to get your skin use to it. After the first week, use it just before bed. Do not use it until nighttime because the gel oxidizes with sun exposure. Your skill will only be oily for a few months and it helps w/ dark spots. Remember less is best... Use ONLY a pea size or slightly smaller! Good luck!!!"


"I had a good experience with my first pack of pills - no spotting.  I lost weight and my breasts grew a full cup size - friends keep asking if I had an enhancement done!  I did have a lot of breast tenderness that continues and heavy cramping around my period.  I'm now exactly half way through my second 90 day pack and have had a light menstrual flow for the past 7 days.  I take my pill at exactly the same time every day and never miss so I'm disappointed this is happening.  I hope it doesn't continue.  Overall, I'm happy and the pill works as I'm not pregnant which is the most important thing!"


"I have been using Travatan since 2001, and it has keep my eye pressure within normal range. The only side effect I suffered, and this is a good one,  since I am a female, is that my eyelashes are long and full."


"Insurance made me switch from Androgel to Testim. This stuff smells, requires the application of a huge quantity and takes something close to an hour to dry. Oh and that weird, sickly smell, doesn't come off in the shower. I have no idea how effective it is yet, but it's definitely the worst. I loathe the idea of putting this on everyday. It's making me miserable"


"Was placed on Gabapentin 30 days ago 100 mg 3 times a day for neuropathy of hands and feet. Also have severe agoraphobia with panic attacks. Most hand and leg pain much better. Remarkable is that I can now leave my house and do my own grocery shopping. Only possible side effect is I have no sleep pattern now. I sleep when tired and wake when rested. Can be in bed at 10 a.m. or 6 a.m sleep just about any time and wake 8 to 10 hours later. Yesterday I fell asleep at 6 a.m. I got up at 7 p.m. day before I fell asleep at 11 p.m. and got up at 930 a.m. See doctor in 2 days, will ask what can be done. I can't take sleeping pills because they and Valium do exactly the reverse in my body. I took Ambien 1 time, was up 2 days. Ambien also causes restless legs syndrome."


"I had the skyla inserted on 6/25/15. I was given a medicine to ripen my cervix, but since I have never had children, it really didn't help. The procedure took about 5 minutes because the doctor had trouble inserting it due to my cervix being curved. It was was high intensity pain while it was being inserted. Afterwards it was just regular menstrual cramping. I did take about 800mg of ibuprofen beforehand. The cramping subsided after about 3 hours after the procedure. No cramping or bleeding after that evening.
I had previously been on depo shot for about 16 years."


"Always feel like shyt. 20 years on this medication could not understand why I am not any better. Did my own research and found that it has GLUTEN in it. All this time taking med. that helps me be more sick. Not to mention weight gain it  made me look puffy face hands swell just as if I was ingesting GLUTEN!!!! I was. If you have Celiac or IBS Don't take this."


"Brought the 1 day treatment  at $21.99 used it around 10pm it's now around 1am I am in tears this is the most uncomfortable I've ever been I'm so itchy it burns slightly but the itch is very real I have to be up at 5:30 am it's now 1:14 am. I can't sleep it literally woke me up out my sleep because of the itch and slight burn "


"Oh my goodness. I have taken Benadryl every night for thirty years or longer. This is much better. I sleep like a baby and feel rested in the morning for the first time in decades. I love Unisom and won't go back to Benadryl. The prescriptions like Lynsey's or Ambien made me hallucinate and feel pretty bad in the morning so I never continued them. Unisom has been awesome! Highly recommend it."


"Took the first pill yesterday and didn't have a beer until 4hrs later. Had one, then two, then three... then four. Uh oh, was one of the few that it wouldn't work for? Still, I was pushing a twelve-pack a day so four seemed like a pretty big accomplishment. But today is another story. I had my first beer at 5PM exactly 1 hour after taking the pill. I just dumped the second half of that beer in the sink. No obsessions. Not about drinking or eating or my ex-boyfriend (whom I recently had a difficult break with). It really is like a switch was turned off (or on, depending on how you look at it). One side affect is sense of taste is a bit off... but I don't feel like eating, so no biggie. Idk.. was it this easy all along?! Get to your doc asap."


"I was put on Soma six years ago along with my pain medicines. I swear by it. I have been on the same dose of Soma and pain medicines for 6 years. Because of Soma I have not had to alter my dose and have been able to work and function and it was good. Till my doctor took everyone off it. I am now miserable and in pain. It is great and it works."


"Had a rip roaring oxycodone addiction, always chasing living in a nightmare, no money at all. Once I got on Suboxone life has done a 180. If you are in that cycle of addiction, go get Suboxone, you will not look back."


"I suffered severe form of acne from around 15 and after being subscribed to countless forms of antibiotics over the years (which had little or no effect), it was seriously affecting my self confidence and social life. My GP then decided to prescribe me for a 6 month course of Accutane, starting at 20mg/day. At first (months 1-2 )the improvements were small, the only effects being dry skin and lips. But then, there started to be gradual improvements from months 3-4 when I was taking 40mg/day. In months 5-6 my dosage was increased to 60 and 80mg/day respectively and the improvements were incredible. I can honestly say this medication has changed my life and would recommend it to anybody considering it!"


"I am a 19-year white female who has been on this pill for approximately two months. In beginning, I couldn't tell a difference in much of anything. I starting spotting which just turned into my period that lasted like normal and wasn't too heavy. I haven't had any cramps to date, but cramps were never bad before the pill anyways. Acne has always been a struggle for me but the pill seems to have mellowed it out just a tad bit. But here is my number one complaint (with two parts lol), I experience so many UTI within my first month. SO many! Once I got those under control, the emotions went haywire. I would get VERY angry with people and my temper became very short. This side effect has yet to wear off. Very annoying."


"I had terrible side effects on this medicine. I was over active and couldn't stop making things, knitting, etc. all through the night . I couldn't sleep and my balance was off. I fell in the shower and hurt my neck. This was a terrible time for me."


"Hi All, I gave this BC a 5 because while it didn't work for me. It might work for someone else. BC seems to be a by-person thing. I have two friends that liked this while my other friend and I did not work well on it. My friend and I both have ADHD and have had previous situational anxiety.   On this birth control I became very nervous all the time and was extremely sensitive. I cried at least 3 times a week over little things. Which is extremely not like me. I actually lost weight because of high anxiety. When I got it taken out, I turned around 180 degree. I can joke around and I feel like myself again. I have been off the medication for about 2 weeks now and have not cried or been nervous once. I feel stable."


"I threw up a few hours after taking this. I discontinued immediately."


"I have also used drixoral since it was available only by prescription.  Bring it back please!  I have been lucky enough to find local stores that still have a supply of Drixoral."


"When I started living with other women, their menstrual cycles pulled mine out of sync although I was taking Orsythia and should have my periods timed exactly. I haven't had any side effects however, and the pill is working."


"I was addicted to opiate painkillers for 5 years. I thought I had no hope. I bottomed out after 5 years of doing practically nothing but looking for drugs. I went into detox and a methadone program for 7 days. I started an out patient program as soon as I got out but as soon as my last dose of methadone wore off I was back climbing the walls. I really thought Suboxone was going to be my last hope. I could not see myself living much longer either using or going through withdrawal. I had to wait a couple weeks to get in a Suboxone program and the withdrawal was so bad my counselor told me to use! I did get on Suboxone 32mg a day felt great immediately like the same day. On 16mg still today and clean."


"Male, mid 30's, 2 herniated lumbar discs, 3 pinched nerves, bone spur, stenosis.. I have been on pain meds for the last 10 years, and Opana is by far the most effective paid med I've ever tried and believe me I've been on everything.. Most recently I was on OxyContin 20mg 1x a day and Oxycodone IR 20mg 5x a day.. The problem with Oxycodone is that it has a very low half life of 3-4 hours and is very addictive because of the short duration of action you find yourself "chasing the pain".. I suggested Opana to my PM doctor as I heard good things about it, best pain relief I've had in years! I take Opana ER 40mg 2x a day and Opana IR 10mg 2x a day PRN for breakthrough pain.. This med is a wonder drug for those in 24/7 chronic pain!"


"I started Estarylla four months ago to regulate my periods. I was having a period every two weeks. The first month I took it I bled for an entire month. When I called the obgyn, I was advised to give it three months to regulate my period.Now my period has become erratic and lasts longer than 7 days. This past period started two weeks ago and ceases to let up. Along with prolonged periods I have experienced stomach nausea,vomiting,anxiety, and extreme mood swings.I plan to visit my OBGYN soon to discuss new options. This is my first time experiencing a negative reaction to birth control."


"My experience with Paragard was horrible I had heavy periods, outrageous cramps, acne, mental issues due to the implant because now that I've had it removed I feel excellent.  When I had it removed there was rust on the copper. I do not suggest anyone has Paragard implants ever. It was the biggest mistake that I ever made having the  implant put inside of me and I am so grateful that I finally had it removed."


"I recentaly got an ear piercing called a snug. It became so infected I had to see an ENT. He prescribes me Bactrim and I have been on it for 4 days. He had to drain my ear, and it hurt a lot. I just came home from my second appointment, and he took out the packing he put in from draining it, and just put a band aid over it and told me to compress hot water over it for a while. Bactrim has given me no side effects, and it works amazingly."
