"I have been on Wellbutrin for a year and a half. If you do not respond to SSRIs (like me) I would definitely recommend giving Wellbutrin/Bupropion a go. At the end of the fourth week on 150mg, just before I was about to tell my doctor it was another dud - I very suddenly felt clear and not like a slug human. I would say it's such a strong feeling that you will know if it works and the day it starts. I had a horrible time falling asleep, lost my appetite, but  felt super ecstatic! Maybe it's because for the first time in 8 years (I am 26) I felt what it's like to not see doing the most simplest of tasks as a stressful chore. I could have cried! I've lost a bit over ten pounds since being on it. Currently I am on the highest dose which is 600"


"My first week on depo I had nausea insomnia and fatigue I felt terrible, the following month was great no bleeding no cramping my sex drive was great. But now my last two months have been non stop bleeding and  can't even have sex with my man because of it. I haven't gained weight but depo is basically a three month long menstrual cycle plus depression and sexual frustration. Not recommended."


"After suffering from manic episodes of depression and rapid mood cycles that have been uncontrollable for most my life, Lamotrigine allowed the mood swings to lessen and become more manageable.

The drug lessened the intensity of the depression, and took the edge off.

I felt able to rationalise my feelings, and also control anger ourbursts better.

The best way I can describe the effectiveness is that they take the edge of the intensity of bad mood swings.

Negatives:

According to my doctor and a lot of things I've read, Lamotrigine is unsuitable for Bi Polar Type 1.

I also found once I'd increased my dosage to 250ml, my moods were too suppressed  and so eventually lowered my dose and came off them altogether.

i am now back on them."


"I find Nubain to be the only solution to a headache gone bad. It works quickly and I have no rebound effects. It is a miracle in my life when all else fails."


"I have extreme anxiety attacks that make it hard for me to breathe, which makes the oxygen levels in my brain go down. I have found that it helps me calm down to the point where I can rationalize the stress and anxiety that is causing the attack. I also find that when I am nauseous it helps me not vomit."


"Okay , so First night taking the 3 day monistat , for the first hour & a half there was the worst feeling but after it passed , I was relieved , no more burning or itching I was able to fall asleep , I woke up for day 2 , completely fine but I know it couldn't be all gone, I recommend drinking alot of cranberry juice and taking aveeno oatmeal baths, on the 3rd morning Im in pain again but just itchiness not really much burning . I take my last dose tonight , hopefully it works ."


"Hi everyone...I want to share my experience on this drug. I was diagnosed bipolar 2 in 2015. At first doctors thought it was depression or/and post traumatic syndrome bc I went bankrupt right before I got sick. The doc tried all anti-depressants you can ever imagine in a matter of 3 weeks. It was a true nightmare. Then they realized that my bad reactions to antidepressants was the main reason to diagnose me as a bipolar 2. Thank God I didn't have any rash otherwise I don't know what would have happened. Understanding how lamictal works is vital. However each person is different. The metabolism is what you have to keep an eye on. I have a very fast metabolism. That helped me go up in this medication very fast from 25mg up to 200mg."


"I feel like I'm starving ever since I been on the patch I feel nauseous everyday."


"I have been taking Yaz for about two months now.  I stopped taking birth control about two years ago and started to break out with acne horribly.  I was on the patch and gained about fifteen pounds.  I lost all of that weight and now am 117lbs again.  I was worried that I would gain weight after losing it so my dermatologist told me to use Yaz. Yaz has been wonderful.  I have not broken out severely, maybe one or two on my chin.  It is completely fabulous for acne and for birth control."


"I didn't get acne until I was 18 and did every diet, cleanser, spot treatment out there for about 6 years. I ended up SO depressed with horrible hormonal acne on my chin/chest and was losing the battle. I was always against accutane because the horrible side effects associated with it. My chest cleared up by the first month. The results are AMAZING and I finally feel like I'm thriving rather than hiding behind thick coats of makeup and high cut shirts. So, its a really complicated process to even start the whole accutane journey. You have to get your blood drawn once a month and women HAVE to be on birth control. Its very expensive and your skin will completely dry out but worth it. Drink lots of water, eat healthy & aquaphor. WORTH IT!!!"


"Works great for motion sickness although it tends to affect vision if worn for numerous days."


"This is the best thyroid medicine I have taken.  I took the generic for several years, I was constantly tired and miserable. Finally, I found Tirosint and I have been so much better.  I have been on Tirosint for a year now and I am so glad to have it. I have not had any side effects."


"I've been on this drug since 2003.  Before meds, I was so sick with RA symptoms.  Spent 19 hours a day in bed, couldn't dress or bath myself.  Seldom ate.  Doctor put me on 200 mg. plaquenil twice daily  and 10 mg. prednisone and I got my life back.  I've since drop prednisone and am down to 200 mg. once daily plaquenil.  About to go on the generic form of plaquenil.   A little concerned.  Is the quality the same?  My specialist said no.  RA drugs are so scary.  I've had friends die on biologics--and some go blind.  My advice as geezergirl.  When you find out what works for you, hold on tight to it."


"I'm a 50 year old male diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder at age 25. Went through years of therapy and thought I'd pretty much learned how to manage/mitigate anxiety. I recently came upon a scene where I rendered first-aid to a gunshot victim. Almost immediately afterward I felt 'hollow' and began ruminating about death.

That event acted like a pebble rolling down a mountain and by last week I was experiencing a variety of physical symptoms on top of being angry and withdrawn. My Internal Medicine doctor suggested I go on Zoloft. Within an hour of taking the first 25mg tab I felt a gigantic sense of relief. Five days later I%u2019m still experiencing some minor  jitters and cotton mouth and my  mind races a bit. But the immense sense of relief is still with me."


"My doctor prescribed this for bladder pain, as an anti-spasmodic to reduce the bladder contractions. I suffer bouts of I.C. and can honestly say that this has saved me! I was curled-up in agony on the sofa for days on end, not able to function at all or even walk without pain. This drug gave me my life back. Yes, it does cause dry mouth and eyes (and I already have Sjogren's) but the pain subsided the same day I started taking it. I have lupus and fibro too, so am very wary of taking any type of drug, so just take it in half-doses. I am weaning off after less than a week now but will keep it handy for any future problems. I.C. pain is BRUTAL so this is amazing. It can also cause headache, but this is manageable if you keep well hydrated."


"I am 60 & have been on Klonopin for over 20 yrs. I have tried every thing under the sun, no kidding. I have not only anxiety, but chronic depression, bi-polar disorder,  limb jerking, panic attacks to the extreme. I am so sensitive to meds, it's scary. So when I find something that works I stick with it. I usually only take "Brand Name", good insurance, or I couldn't.  I'll tell you from experience, if you stick with an exact time line on taking it, rather than as needed, you will do a lot better. I have never had any side effects from it, a blessing. It helps with all of the above. I took myself off of about 17 medications a doc, had me on. I call them stackers. For a while I did not even know who I was. Now, I am stable, doing the best I ever have."


"The day after administered for surgery I am in severe pain all over my body."


"I suffer from obsessive compulsive personality disorder.   It makes me not want to be around other people so I stay in all the time, which leads to extreme lethargy.  I just lay in bed all day and spiral downward until I have no energy to do anything at all.   Fastin gives me the energy psychologically as well as physically to get out of bed and start doing things.  It does cause some side effects, but these are to be expected with something that works so powerfully.  Only this or Zoloft have helped me to lead a productive life.   With doctors for zoloft, I have to make appointments, pay for insurance, a doctor visit,  the prescription, and wait in line at the pharmacy, none of which I can do after I run out of medication.  Thank you Fastin"


"Been on Chateal for about a month now. Tried Depo previously, which was terrible. I bled for 6 months straight, my face broke out terribly and my sex drive was in the gutter. So far, the only thing I notice with this pill is that my cramps during the placebo week are WAAAAY worse than my cramps prior to taking chateal. And my sex drive went down a bit but not too bad. Also, breakthrough bleeding since I started taking it but I'm giving it a 3 month window to see improvement with that to see how my body adjusts to the hormones. Prior to taking chateal, I had a "luxury" period. About 4 days, barely any cramps or mood changes. Just a bit of nausea. I hope that doesn't change drastically."


"I started taking one pill a day in October, switched to generic, which didn't work so the doctor suggested I take 2 a day. Still nothing, so I switched back to Prilosec and continued to take twice a day. Works pretty well, except for some days when I need to use a backup of tums or Zantac."


"Caused me to have very bad headaches. Light sensitivity. Dizziness."


"I tried buspar in addition to 200mg of zoloft. it was meant to enhance the zoloft. Unfortunately , it didn't work for me. I was on it for about 5 months, and during that time i kept having on and off discomfort , like my heart was beating harder,my stomach was always really bloated, my body heat would rise and I'd have a hard time cooling down. The symptoms were so mild I didn't really pay much attention to it, but after a while i got tired of the negative side effects and decided to call it quits. Almost immediately after i stopped taking the medication, all of those negative symptoms went away so I definitely know it was the buspar. if anyone has similar side effects, just stop the medication after two weeks max, its not worth it."


"I have used every face wash product and home remedy on the market.  I've been on Doxycycline,  Minocycline,  and every other antibiotic the doctor can prescribe.  They helped, but I was never clear.  I finally decided to go on Accutane.  The process to get on the pill is a huge pain,  but it's so worth it.  You have to take birth control and get blood work every month because you CANNOT get pregnant.  My skin was dry for two weeks.  Then it was minorly dry after that.  I rarely had to use lotion.  My lips were CHAPPED.  Don't use drug store chap stick. I recommend Lucas Pawpaw ointment, ceralip or Cortibalm.  The first month I had minor headaches, but I was 100 % clear by month 3. My skin was no longer oily.  This experience was amazing."


"I have been using the Depo for 2 1/2 years now. I noticed during the first year I would spot lightly when I usually got my period and my cramps went away. After the first year my period pretty much went away for the most part. However, when I do occasionally get spotting, it lasts for about 2 weeks and it comes at random times. In the past year I can recall it happening three times. For me it still beats getting reglar periods and it has taken away my horrible cramps so I deal with it. The pill always made me sick no matter what brand I tried so that is another plus with the Depo.  But everyone is different and everyone will react differently."


"I am on the 500 X 2 ER and people tell me I'm alot more calmer and they see the change, I guess I was on the depressed side of the spectrum. It may also be that I am on Celexa as well. At first I was severely drowsy, but after about seven months in it kicks in. As far as weight gain goes same there no changes. Hair loss? Was already losing it. I have been on lithium and that didn't work, tried Tegretrol as well, come to find out I am allergic, so if I can feel normal and blood tests on liver and kidney comes back fine, hey I will give Depakote 2 big thumbs up with a normal life."


"Just started taking Venflaxine for my anxiety. It made me very I'll,  I was nauseas and vomiting for 2 days. I stopped taking the pill and felt 100% better. I think everyone reacts differently to certain medications, if you are someone with a sensitive stomach just be aware you might have this reaction."


"I was just prescribed naproxen 500 mg for degenerative arthritis. It really takes the pain away from the arthritis but it also works for my wife who gets occasional menstrual headaches, migraines  and seasonal allergy sinus headaches. She also takes vistaril for allergies but it doesn't get rid of the headaches. Me personally, only Excedrin migraine extra strength...but that might be the caffeine lol"


"Since starting Rythmol SR 425 2.5 years ago, the percentage of time in atrial fibrillation has dropped from over 20% to under 3%.  Absolutely no side effects.  Glad I have insurance though and pay $120 for a 90 day supply, rather than over $1,000."


"The magic migraine medicine!  I'm 47 years old and have suffered from moderately severe migraines since I was 11. The list of different drugs I've taken over the years is too long to recite, and the only other drug that has been effective in any way is Fioricet/Fiorinal, but I develop a tolerance to Fiorinal. I was skeptical when I first tried Imitrex, but have become  a believer! I have taken both nasal spray and tablets and both work quickly and thoroughly with NO SIDE EFFECTS. Truly the magic, miracle migraine medicine, for which I am sincerely grateful."


"Ladies, please relax. It will work! I had unprotected sex on nov. 6th. Boyfriend pulled out but still wanted to be sure so I took the pill about 7 hours later. The next day I started feeling dizzy & nauseous. Few days later, I had spotting that lasted for 3 days. It was too light for it to be a period so I assumed it was "withdrawal bleeding" from the pill. My anxiety was through the roof & all I did was read these reviews, freaking myself out. But! I was in class today (Dec 10th) & it came! It was a few days late, my period was suppose to come Dec. 1st. I never been so happy to see blood! I'm 19 & definitely not ready for a baby! Good luck everyone!!!"


"It all started with a fever that came out of nowhere so thinking I got the flu I went out and bought some DayQuil and night so when I woke up I had body pain a headache swollen glands and a dry mouth and it hurt to swallow so I used my light of my camera and shine it in my mouth. It was red spots on the roof and back of my throat with pus I knew something wasn't right so I went to a immediate care center and failed the rapid test but she started me on the antibiotic 875mg AMOXI... but I take it the first night couldn't get any sleep so after my 2nd pill out of 20 I start having lil pimples over my ears my face and arms hands etc so I don't know if it's a allergic reaction or just a side effect but my throats feels horrible I can't swallow"


"So far, at a dosage of 200mg/day, this medication has turned my life around. Although I haven't been diagnosed bipolar, it has been enormously helpful and has destroyed my depression and anxiety. It took a while to increase the dose but it was 100% worth the wait!"


"I have had a horrible experience with this cream. my face is so painfully dry even in the spots I didn't put the cream. my eyes, the crease under my lip, my nose and the corners of my lips are so dry there is now even blisters developing. It hurts to put anything on besides coconut oil but that's not helping and I am at a loss."


"I tried this medicine today with no headache relief. I did get drowsy and all of the muscles in my body were completely relaxed, however I still had the migraine. Per my Neurologist recommendation, I waited 2 hours before taking Indocin. Still no luck.

The only medicine that I have found to stop a migraine is Treximet, however that has to be taken at the FIRST sign of the migraine. Anything later and it is too late.

I am glad Fioricet works well for some people, but all it does for me is causes drowsiness and muscle relaxation. I wish I could get migraine relief from it."


"I'm suffering from IBS since I was 13 years old. Today I'm 24. This medicine made my IBS symptoms almost completely disappear."


"I was given lexapro 10 mg once per day I have been on it since July as my anxiety was pretty bad I was also given Xanax ( which did noting ) so they gave me Valium ( still had no effect) so j have been just taking lexapro now and it seems to be ok , I still get nervous feeling sometimes but not as bad as they were . In the first two weeks of taking lexapro I felt very sick I got sick a few times and just felt rotten but the Dr did tell that would happen and after about 2 weeks I felt perfect again ,"


"Lifesaving. Was completely nonfunctional before being put on it. I understand the risks but the risks of disabling tinnitus were 1 million times worse. This medicine needs to be studied further as I also agree that severe tinnitus related to sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a brain condition. I tried a million things beforehand (steroids, steroids injected into ear, hyperbaric oxygen, etc.) Xanax saved my life."


"I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for about 7 months now. I take it on the dot at the exact same time every day and have never missed a pill. I started out getting two periods a month. I'd get (what felt like a period) a week after my placebo pills and then I would bleed lightly a week before my placebos. As the months have gone by though my "periods" have been getting lighter and lighter and this month (month 7) is the first month I haven't had my light discharge and cramps after the placebo pills. I'm hoping this is a good sign. Even though this pill is unpredictable, I don't have headaches, breast tenderness, or acne like my last pill."


"I have taken this drug for 2 days, and I am stopping.  I am experiencing the worst insomnia from this med., only one I have added.  I was prescribed Rexulti for anxiety and depression."


"This Product is great. I've been using it for about 12 weeks, cleared up most of my moderately severe acne. I wash with Panoxyl 8 Acne Wash then wait 15 minutes before applying Benzaclin. Used as directed twice a day it really clears my acne up. I wash my hair with Nuetrogena shampoo, which helps my acne indirectly by keeping my hair and scalp clean. I go really light with the styling gel, keep hair neatly trimmed too. This all goes hand in hand with keeping me looking good."


"I am not through the process, so forgive me for weighing in so soon, but I found warmer water easier to get down after the first Suprep. A little lemon, too."


"I have been taking Citalopram and Clonazepam (for panic attack only) for MONTHS.  My anxiety level, even on these medicines, was completely out of control.  To the point where my muscles were twitching non stop all day long (as well as other physical symptoms). I added the Deplin to my 20mg Citalopram at the request of my doctor.  Within a few days I felt like a completely new person! Better than I have felt in years. My muscle twitching completely went away and I no longer have obsessive thoughts.  I highly recommend this medicine for anyone suffering with severe anxiety or Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It is life changer. Well worth the $60 a month."


"Was on Gleevec for two years and BCR-ABL would not come down below 20%.  Months after starting Sprycel BCR-ABL undetectable.  I have  been on Sprycel for 7 months now and so far great. Blood counts all look good."


"I use hydroxyzine when I am having a reaction to other medications and it relieves my itching and upset stomach. It is also very soothing for anxiety. It doesn't make me sleepy unless I am taking it in conjunction with Vicodin (which I am taking short term for pain)"


"I got the nexaplanon insert put in on May 30, 2015 after my boyfriend at the time sat me down and told me it was the best option because he did not trust me to take my birth control pill every night.
Fast forward to the doctors office, quick, easy, painless procedure however expensive.
Now I get a regular period every month that lasts about two weeks. I spot, I cramp, I PMS, and I get headaches or erratically and more than ever before.
However, I have severe clinical depression and general anxiety disorder and nexaplanon has greatly leveled out my mental issues. Anxiety attacks are now something I can easily work through and my depression has been almost non existent.
It's been 11 months now since I've had the implant & I've gained 13lbs"


"Tessalon has been extremely effective in controlling a cough and starts working immediately. This med is wonderful."


"Lexapro has helped me so much. I am currently on week 6 of a 10mg dose. 24yr old male.  I felt the effects almost immediately. The first 3 days it gave me extreme ADD. I could not focus on one thing for more than 1 minute. My brain was jumping from thought to thought like never before. After the first week I suddenly had a moment of clarity and was able to focus better than I ever was before. My anxiety and depression in the morning completely went away. I was able to get out of bed. No more driving anxiety or thoughts of self harm. All completely went away. The only negative thing that I have found is one side effect. It now takes a very, very long time for me to reach orgasm during sex. Sometimes not at all. No matter how pretty she is."


"I have been sweating for a while. I love Drysol! It has helped me greatly, and I am very happy my doctor recommended it.

There is a downside to it though... It can itch and sting if you put it on daily. If you want to avoid this, I'd put it on every other day, and don't wear it over the weekend.

 I'd ask your doctor about this though! It is a great product, and I'd recommend this to everyone!"


"I have have drug related issues for ~15 years. Dope, Speed. My, "Psychiatrist" diagnosed me with the word "schizophrenia", Anti-Phychotics are, VERY DANGEROUS!, they increased my anxiety and stress, MANY MANY, times over. Finally, after 15 years, 3 months, no drugs, I have found Oxazepam. 5mg. I read, you can take up too 120mg!. atm, I think I need about 10mg a day. I am doubting, whether I have "schizophrenia", at all. I am down to 1/2 minimum dose, tablet of, DANGEROUS Latuda. So called "treatment", with Anti-Phychotics, is CRIMINAL."


"Clarifoam has greatly reduced burning, red rosacea breakouts I was getting on my face under my eyes.  But I still get them from time to time, just a lot less frequently.  It's easy to use.  Smell is sulfurish, which bugged me at first but I am used to it now.  My copayment is pretty high for Clarifoam."


"Started Singulair approx 1 wk ago. I will say it's an asthma miracle, but the side effects are unreal. I had extreme irritability (out of character for me) severe fatigue when normally active, mood changes, depression, anxiety. I wish doctors would really explain this to new users thanks to all of you who reviewd this medicine and gave me insite on what was going on, that's the reason for my post too. "


"I have been using this product for over 25 years and never had an issue! I am so upset,disgusted, and my vagina is on fire! What did you people (Monistat) do to the product? You should be ashamed of yourselves! I will never buy this again. All the ladies leaving these reviews including myself should send you our Doctor bills!"


"Have terrible post nasal drip. Claritan is the only thing that works. No generics as good. Do find that the med works half the time it says it does;12 hr works for 6, 24 ? About 8. I take 12 hr twice a day in spring and fall. Deal with the hrs it's not working. Doesn't interfere with my sleep."


"I was prescribed Atarax for my anxiety and to wean off Klonopin. It worked well at first but I have found that I've built a tolerance. One 50mg pill the first day helped, the next day I need two 50mg pills and now after 2 weeks in up to 200mg and it is no longer controlling my panic or anxiety."


"For someone with IBS, you know the feeling when you need to have a bowel movement and once you get started, your intestines erupt in absolutely terrible pain. The worst kind of pain. The type of pain where you don't know if you're going to live to see the end of it. You grab a bucket or garbage can because you may vomit as well. Then...welcome to Hyoscyamine. This medication is a life saver. I take Bentyl on a daily basis and Hyoscyamine for more serious issues. The hyoscyamine (sublingual; dissolves under the tongue) works in 30 to 60 seconds. It removes all pain associated with cramping and spasms. It's incredible. The relief is unimaginable and a gift from God. I haven't had any bad side affects to speak of. I'm so happy this med exists."


"I have used plan B so many times (which isn't good) but my doctor stopped prescribing me birth control due to a blood clot. BUT ANYWAYS I've had unprotected sex with my SO a few days ago and I took the pill a few hours later . Immediately I got cramps and I never usually experience the symptoms ! I know I have nothing to worry about because plan B always had my back lol the most important thing is to never stress about anything plan B works!!!"


"It worked so well, I came off the Motrin."


"I have suffered from anxiety and depression since I was 10.

Since taking St John's wort ( I use karma maximum dose once a day pill, ordered directly online) I have felt a significant improvement in my mood. I am so much calmer, I don't lose my temper as quickly. I feel my mood is much more stable.

I continue to drink alcohol which is a depressant, yet I still feel the benefits.

I've been taking it for 3 months, I missed a few days, I felt the benefits within 2-3 weeks. My side effects initially lost appetite, itchy skin, headaches and cyclical sore breasts being worse. My libido is the same. My mood has improved 75%. I still get anxious, but it's much more milder. I mainly feel calmer and quieter and clearer in my head. For me, it worked."


"To those of you experiencing side effects within the first 3 months-I would advise you to stay on it and see if the side effects subside. For the first 2 months or so I had persistent crying for no reason at all (my boyfriend was unbelievably confused), but that went away after 2 months. Also, I had terrible, painful, oozing acne all over my face ever since about 4th grade, but after a few months of Levora my skin is perfect. I have people constantly asking me what my secret is! My sex drive has stayed the same. I gained 20 lbs almost right away, but my pants still fit, so it's not a major problem for me. My only issue is with spotting and breakthrough bleeding. Going to the doc tomorrow to talk about that"


"I've taken Sprintec for almost 2 years now, and I honestly don't have any complaints. I guess everyone's body is different because I don't see why everyone is complaining about it!"


"I took one Dulcolax tablet last night at 19:00. Woke at 01:45 with the most horrendous stomach cramps, sweating profusely, nausea followed by 5 bouts of vomiting. My whole inside felt as though it was on fire, even childbirth was not as painful. At one point I thought my husband was going to have to call for an ambulance. I have lost count of the number of BM's I have had during the day/night, just running out non stop. I will never take another Dulcolax, I have thrown the packet out and would not wish this experience on anyone. I have wasted a day in my life in bed that I will never get back!"


"I have been on Otezla for one month now and my psoriasis is almost clear and no itching! I have scalp and ear psoriasis and it also comes down on my forehead..now you can see where it was by the discoloring but no scales! I have had virtually no side effects. Once in a while a slight headache that feels more like a sinus ache over one eye.  No weight change. No nausea. Some wakefullness at night, but no tiredness during the day.  I also take Tramadol for back pain. I don't see a big change in joint pain, but am hopeful for some relief. Happy so far!!"


"No side effects at all. Truly the best acid-reflux menication that I have taken."


"I have been using this for 3 days and I'm in awful pain and my face looks terrible like I have got really bad sunburn would not recommend anyone use this product as my skin is flaking and my moisturiser is causing to much extra pain."


"My son started Concerta 18mg a little over a year ago at 9 yrs old. What a positive change for him!! His self-esteem was back and he was social and smiling all the time. Made new friends easily and enjoyed things other than video games and TV. Lately, we have noticed a change...his concentration is not as good, he has trouble getting organized at school and likes to stay in his room for hours at a time. He reminds me of the kid he was before medication. April 1st, we have an apt with the pediatrician and I am assuming we will up the dose to 27mg and hopefully find our happy boy again! We have also tried Biphentin, which did not work for us. Concerta has been a life saver and I hope it will continue to be with the proper dosage :)"


"I tested positive for flu on my second day of being sick. The doctor told me I MUST eat something before taking tamiflu or I could possibly have violent vomiting. Even though I was very dehydrated and nauseous already, I managed to eat a few saltines with ice chips. The only issue I had was strange dreams. By the second day of taking tamiflu I felt 80% better. Highly recommend but difficult to get unless you test positive."


"I'm going to post what some other people have mentioned: You apparently need to give your body quite a bit of time with this. I started taking mine in August and am now on my final few pills before I need a new pack. August, I was free of spotting. September, I practically had a regular period. October, lighter but longer. It's almost constant now, but very light. I was debating even getting another pack because I hate bleeding but apparently sticking with it for a year will cause your body to start responding without the spotting. Let's hope!"


"This is the first time I have ever taken birth control. This pill has caused my stomach to become very sensitive. Almost everything I eat causes horrible stomachache. Not only that but do experience bleeding between my periods. I'm not done my 3 month sample but I will be switching after the 3 months are done."


"The first day, I experienced some nausea. Now? I have a sore in my mouth that popped up out of nowhere and one side of my bottom lip is swollen. I'm so sick that I can't eat anything and have zero appetite. I keep getting the shakes and chills that weren't there before starting it. I suffer from anxiety and anxiety is a common side effect with this medication - so now my anxiety is through the roof and it's also caused severe insomnia. I'm constipated, have terrible muscle spasms and cramps in my legs. I've never had an issue with a sulfa drug before but after this I will definitely not take one ever again. It's not worth the side effects/allergic reaction"


"this medicine has decreased my my libido.
I'm just 24 years old and cannot reach orgasm after taking this med.

horrible."


"Update~ i have been on Traz for almost one week.  I no longer have any side effects..the dizziness, hang over feeling that lasted all day, does not happen anymore.  My dose is 100mg.  My body has got used to the drug and now the medication is helping me sleep very well.  I have a small snack with the dose and take it 30 minutes before  go to bed.  Sometimes  take a lower dose, like 50mg or 75mg..to see if I can fall asleep with that amount. Sometimes it works other times I have to increase up to 100mg(around 2 hours later..if I haven't fallen asleep).  I almost quit this drug, but I worked through the side effects.  You need to stay on it for at least 1 week and it should start working well for you and the side effects will lessen or cease."


"Started with Depakote upon being diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy in my teens.  I took it for years without issue.  I decided to switch to Keppra XR because of potential liver issues with Depakote and the somewhat tiresome redundancy of labwork related to Depakote use.  Keppra XR did not work for me as my memory began growing progressively worse and I could not think clearly.  I also began losing my train of thought mid sentence fairly often.  Switched back to Depakote ER, and am feeling much better mentally.  The quarterly labwork is not a big deal when compared to being in a mind fog for over a year.  That's my experience, hope everyone finds what's right for them.  P.S. I do not take generics, noticeably more side effects."


"Had unprotected sex the day after my period ended. Took next choice one step about 2.5 days later. Experienced a little nausea the next day and fatigue. Five days after I took next choice I started heavy bleeding for a day and light spotting for a few more. I am currently 2 days late for my period but I took a test and it was negative. Fingers crossed that I'm just going to get my period late."


"Viberzi stopped my constant diarrhea. I have suffered from this for 7 years, since colon cancer, chemo, radiation and surgery with resection. I have diarrhea at least 3-4 times a week and it lasts for hours. I am exhausted by it, forced to stay inside and suffer from dehydration often. Viberzi stopped all of this but I was unable to function in my daily routines. I became exhausted, tired, slept most of day. If I didn't
lay down I was extremely dizzy and nauseous. My health insurance refused to stock Viberzi as the cost was $1,000 per month and, of course prohibitive for me. Being on Medicare with drug coverage makes me ineligible for any discount coupons."


"I had the Nexplanon implant inserted into my arm on August 19, 2015 and had it removed June 14, 2016. Since receiving the implant I have gained 20 pounds, with no change in diet, I even started exercising yet I had a steady weight gain. My pre-existing depression and depersonalization disorder became so severe, ( yes I was already being medicated) that I had to leave school for a semester. My dosage of anti depressants had to be raised, and I became very sick- I had constant urinary tract infections, and had an underlying feeling of just not being well. Though, the implant did succeed in one thing- making sure I didn't become pregnant. My partner and I had unprotected sex throughout my use of Nexplanon and I did not become pregnant."


"Ever since middle school I have suffered from hyperhidrosis since I was 12. My problem area was my armpits and I was very self conscious. Although this product has helped with the sweating it doesn't always work but ALWAYS causes extreme pain rashes and itching. There were times were I would feel like crying because of the pain. The product isn't terrible and certainly works but is NOT WORTH THE PAIN."


"I was put on this birth control when I had to go to an army hospital and they didn't have the one I was already taking (Minastrin 24, which was great)! The doctor said Syronx was the same as Minastrin 24, which was a lie. The first month of the syronx was okay, just a little more moody than usual and I thought I can handle that. The end of the second month was HORRIBLE. My acne was the worst it has ever been. I got acne here and there, mostly around the time of my period. This was something else, they were inflamed, painful hormonal acne all on my jawline and neck. My moodiness increased so much to the point my husband and I were arguing about the littlest things and he didn't even want to talk to me anymore and I kept bawling my eyes out."


"It's now been about 6 weeks since I got Liletta. I had heavy spotting until the middle of last week when it finally lightened up! Now I've had 3 days spot-free. I'm hoping this means my cycle has started to regulate. I'm still very nervous about using it without a condom, but so far it's been a decent experience! I'm still a little emotional and am really hoping that will subside."


"I have been fat all my life and had sort of accepted it as just the way it was. My neighbor told me about Belviq and five months later 43 pounds off and a lot of happiness. My life is different from every possible view and my healthy life style has me with 30 pounds of my achievable goal. To the good life with Belviq's help."


"I am 53 years old and was put on this drug just over a year ago. I was diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder 13 years ago, I new something was wrong with me when I was 17 but bipolar was not really to known back then. This drug is by far the best thing I have taken ever. Don't worry about the weight gain after a year it will go away, it is a small price to pay for sanity. Everyone will get the munchies from this I eat grapes at night they do the trick have some in a bowl by your bedside this will help keep the weight gain down. Stay away from ice cream and eat yogurt with preserves in it or just fruit when you get the munchies 1 hour after taking it. I also take temazepam at night 100mg. "


"I've had the Paragard for a month now and I absolutely love it! I got it inserted 3 months after having my son and I didn't even feel them put in it. Afterwards I had mild cramping and spotting for a few days, then it went away. I am breastfeeding so I have not gotten a  period yet, but my cycles have always been heavy. I would have a heavier cycle than get pregnant again so soon! Or deal with synthetic hormones! The only complaint I have is the increase of discharge I have constantly. Other than that I love it and would recommend it for any mother."


"I'm a 20 year old female who's been battling moderate to severe acne since middle school. I've been wearing hypoallergenic Almay makeup since I was 12 because I was so self conscious of my skin. After unsuccessfully fighting it on my own, I went to a dermatologist who put me on Oracea to take in the morning and Aczone to apply at night. It's only been a week but I have had zero breakouts! The pimples I had prior to this have vanished and my dark spots are fading. I use Aczone at night after washing my face with Neutrogena acne prone skin soap (also recommended by my dermotologist). It has made my skin a little dry, but it used to be so oily that it seems to have balanced things out. Hopefully it will continue to work!"


"Wt. loss update: Meds :Belviq 20mg, 37.5 mg Phen/ dy since 2004,Janumet 50/500x2/dy since2004, Diag Metblc Synd.Calorie intake ~1000/ dy since 2004

Metbl Specl added Belviq to the above meds on 10/8 (178lb) now down(163lb) I cannot believe that I have been unable to take off a single pound in six years despite trying everything specialist could throw at me( meridia

Victosa,byetta, topomax/ phen..now Qysmia) exercise program, special diets you name it. BELVIQ is The solution! My docs are thrilled with results and are prescribing to all qualified pts!!"


"I was originally on 160mg of Geodon mainly for delusions and paranoia.  It helped a great deal for paranoia but I wanted to decrease the dosage with a view to coming off it altogether.  I managed to get down to 40mg but couldn't get off it altoghether as the resulting insomnia was awful.  I just could not sleep without it.  Unfortunately, due to paranoia I am now back up to 120mg and I can't see myself ever getting off this medication and I do suffer a lot of bloating with it although it is not as bad as Zyprexa or Clozaril for weight gain.  Overall a good medicine for paranoid delusions."


"Post surgical pain. Have had chronic pain but have just had knee revision. It did not do much for the pain. Dose was 2 mg."


"I've been on Lexapro for 5 weeks and started feeling more myself within 2 days! I no longer just lay around the house for the next day to come. I'm more active and want to have fun again. My only complaint is the constipation and lack of sex drive. Great things are that I no long binge eat when sad, food no longer makes me feel happy, and its working as a great appetite suppressant which has made weight loss much easier. My doctor added Wellbutrin to help with the sexual side effects and I hope it starts working soon."


"Now 61, for four years I have suffered a reduction of urinary flow and an increased urge to urinate due to BPH.  Frequently, this would result in near sleepless nights as I arose every hour to urinate.  Also, each urination would be accompanied by some pain or burning.  Doctor encourages homeopathic remedies and for a few months, I got some relief from taking SAW PALMETTO.  However, this effect was short lived and soon all my symptoms returned.  Doctor next recommended Flomax (tamsulosin).  This failed due to two side effects; headache and loss of erections.  We finally tried a 5mg dose of daily Cialis.  What a difference!  My urinary problems have nearly vanished while experiencing only minor acceptable side effects."


"I am currently taking the last of my second pack and I feel like my sex drive has been lost... I'm not sure if it's this particular brand or not, but ever since I started taking it, I have felt no desire for sex.  I am soon going to consult with my doctor to switch,  Also, it gives you your period for a week which I do not like.. Had pretty heavy bleeding my first period, guessing I'll have the same with my next cycle.  It works differently on everyone, but for me, it doesn't seem to be the right choice."


"I've been on this birth control for about 2 weeks now, and let me explain I've never been on birth control before. I experienced just about no side effects so far, no unusual weight gain, headaches, or cravings. No bad mood swings and it already helping my acne (the reason I went on it). The downfall: I've been bleeding for the whole 2 weeks I've been on it. I started it the day of my period as instructed, usually I bleed for 4-5 days but I have had my period now for 2 weeks straight. I think it's getting light and about to go away and then I wake up the next morning and back again! If this side effect continues into the next pack I may have to give up beyaz:( I am on the generic by the way."


"My 8 yr old daughter had signs of CPP; breast buds, armpit odor, excessive height. After seeing the specialist and getting test the ultrasound said she developed 5 cyst on her ovaries. The hand x-ray said she had a bone age of 10. She started the monthly Lupron shot. She is now 10 and she has no cyst on her ovaries now. Yet her bone age shows 12. Her breast buds are completely gone. She never gained any excess weight. No night sweats. We plan to stop the shot right after her 11th birthday."


"I had been taking Benicar 20/12 mg for about 5 years, as there is no generic substitution for Benicar and it was very expensive I asked my Doctor for another drug.  Cozaar was suggested and it had just become generic the week before. I have been taking it for about 6 weeks.  I don't feel any negative side effects. So far so good."


"I am almost 30 and have been getting migraines since I was junior high age and my father also suffers from migraines.  I have been in the ER every other month at least for the pain.  I had a migraine that lasted 13 days straight and couldn't take it anymore.  I take amitriptyline every night for several years now for prevention but wasn't on anything for the onset pain of a migraine even though the amitriptyline was working amazing.  I still take it now with the Propranolol twice a day for a couple of weeks now and have only gotten a couple of small headaches and a few side effects.  I am very happy with it."


"I started taking Generess Fe 5 weeks ago. I bled for the entire first month. It just didn't stop. Then I developed a stronger sensitivity to dairy products than I ever had before. The past 3 days have been unbearable. I haven't been able to keep anything down, I started sweating and nearly fainted a few times. I've also thrown up 5 or more times. My mood swings have been really bad also. I have no idea if this does even help prevent pregnancy, as I needed a back up method for the first month. I'm stopping this and making an appointment to see my doctor. There's no way I can live with constant gas pains and nausea and throwing up."


"Been suffering panic and anxiety attacks for about 2 years. Before this time I would consider myself as fairly confident and self assured. Cocky even. About a year ago I realised that my symptoms were due to anxiety. Then of course I was expecting the attacks to come. Fear of the fear that some of you would have definitely read about. In social situations or even on meeting a Colleague at work I would feel an anxiety tingle in my fingers or my leg would shake. This would then start my mind racing and heart pumping which would of course then lead to a panic/anxiety attack. At times I would literally run away to the bathroom or say I have to make a phone call. Benzos didn't help me much. Propranolol 80mg SR has changed my life."


"I have spinal stenosis, 4 herniated discs and nerve damage in both legs. I have found methocarbomal (also known as Robaxin) to be an important part of my pain treatment.

Alone it doesn't control my pain but combined with MS-Contin I have found it to be a perfect mix to treat my chronic daily pain. The MS-Contin controls most of the pain and the Robaxin helps lessen the pain from muscle spasms.

I do have an odd side affect as occasionally I have some nausea after taking it. Not every time, so I would suggest taking the medication with food, it may help alleviate any nausea that you may experience."


"I've been on Skyla for about 2 1/2 months now just  to help my wacky periods get better. Insertion for me was painful but not too insane. My doctor had me put a pill up my vagina to widen my cervix the night before since I'm only 15 and have never had sex or had kids. An hour before my appointment, she had me take 2 oxicoton pills and some ativan to mellow me out. I had really bad cramps for about a week and a half and it finally stopped. Now I'm spotting all the time but its better than a three month period! As for cramps, I get them once in a while unexpectedly and they hurt pretty bad but I'm sure it will go away since my body still isn't fully adjusted to it yet."


"I have been taking Duphalac for past 2 year and was while satisfied with its results.
But sincere past 4 Months have been taking problem of Excessive Water Retention & Bloating in Abdomen.
Water Retention was such that my Stomach used to get swollen and hence had loss of appetite. Because of Inflated Abdomen used to feel chest pain along with dry Coughing.
It was really a miserable feeling as had lost 5kgs weight because of not having proper meals.
Finally had to stop Duphalac & within a 3-4 days time water Retention, Bloating etc had stopped.
It's my advise to people facing similar problem to stop Duphalac Immediately & switch to some other Laxative after consulting the Doctor."


"So far so good

I’ve been using this cream for 1 month and currently my skin is the best it’s been for years

It’s gone in waves since I started the cream I didn’t like it to start but now my skin is the most smooth and least red it’s been in a long time. Fingers crossed it stays that way

We get it on prescription in the Uk so approx £9 a month"


"I'm on my 9th day of the pill and feel depressed and have been crying non stop.  I had to call in to work because of this. I have gained 6lbs in the last 9 days and have no sex drive. I have been bleeding for 9 days now and there are no signs of that letting up any time soon. This is severely atypical for me.  I am usually the happiest person you will meet and now I can't stop crying."


"I want to say that this cream does suspend the effects of Psoriasis and you do feel good when you see clear skin for that period of time. However, I have been using this cream for ten years now and I can only wonder if there is something out there that is safer and would have more permanent results. I know this is hard to deal with but hang in there - clear days ahead."


"My grandfather started using Provine (I don't know when) he was a pharmacist in the middle 1930s, 40s, and 50s, and I, his grandson, use it even to this day. It is the only thing that works. One or two drops per nostril before bedtime and I can sleep all during the night. Nothing else works the same. I could never find it on store shelves in the past 20 years. I would have to go to the pharmacy counter and even though this was over-the-counter, the pharmacy had to order it. I would order six boxes of Provine at a time. When I would run out I would order another six so I won't have to think about it. Today I go order it only to find that it's discontinued. I don't know what I'm going to do."


"At 46, I began having UTI's, urinary frequency/urgency, and burning vaginal dryness.  I was prescribed Estrace, but the standard formula caused me burning as well. However, a compounded version of estradiol in a hypoallergenic formula has been very helpful.  My vaginal burning has stopped, and the urinary urgency/frequency has improved dramatically over the last 2+ months.  I think Estrace can be very helpful, and if you're sensitive to it (the propylene glycol can be an irritant), a compounded version can be extremely helpful."


"I started getting breakouts when I first started my menstrual cycle. (Age 13) and it got progressively worse. I'm about to be 16, and really have tried so many things for my skin problems. I tried Aczone and it literally had an over-night effect. In the morning my bumps were less noticeable and my face felt smoother. It takes time but it really works. Patience is a virtue."


"Tenuate Dospan, was brilliant for weight loss.
"


"Helps with the craving but doesn't help my pain at all"


"I have been using doxycycline 100mg 1 a day, for about a month and it has definitely made a difference in my face, the acne isn't completely gone,but it is a lot much better than it was before.Can't wait to see my face clear again! Doxycycline WORKS!!!"


"It worked for my broncitus but gave me diarhea & yeast infection. I felt better in my chest, worse in my pants. I forgot the last time I was on amoxicillian I also had diarhea. Not taking it again, will ask for something else."


"I take 20 mg of latuda in the am with 450 mg of wellbutrin and at night I take 60mg of latuda with 150mg trazadone, 60 mg of inderal and 1 mg of clondine per day as needed. Latuda has changed my life no more racing thoughts. No more bugging out in public or on people . Just have to eat with food because it does make me nauseous. I recommend this for young adults who are manic or have a personality disorder."

"I have been a smoker for 35 yrs tried cold turkey, patch, classes, nothing worked. Chantix is amazing. Yes I feel tired, trouble sleeping, but do not have the slightest taste for a cigarette. Now the amazing part 35 yrs heavy drinker, have not had a drink in 1 month. Just lost my taste for alcohol. THANKS CHANTIX."


"I have tried every sleep medicine known to man to get to sleep.  Melatonin gave me horrendous nightmares as did the over the counter sleep stuff so I had to take Tylenol PM's and Simply Sleeps.  When I realized I was taking 4 of simply sleeps and 3 of the Unisoms and only getting 3 hours I knew there was a problem.

I took this version after trying other versions of it and I slept for a nice 8 hours solid.  Like I was turned off and then back on again.  No aches, no pains.  Hopefully I can keep on this. Great stuff."


"I was prescribed Vicodin 5/500 because my wisdom tooth is erupting and I'm waiting for the surgery on Wednesday.  I was in severe pain for two days before consulting a doctor because Advil would hardly take the edge off.
Vicodin takes almost all the pain away and makes it possible to swallow FINALLY. "


"The flavor of this medicine is disgusting....I would describe as some type of grapeish medicine with a pound of sugar. Why not make it unflavored?!  gross! Since my doctors instructions only say to add 2 oz of whatever clearish liquid to the medicine nothing will drown out the flavor with just 2 oz.  It does work just tastes awful.  Two years ago I vomited the second dose (was mixed with water) and everything was still fine for my colonoscopy.  This time I sipped through a straw and did not use water and managed to keep the nasty stuff down. Good luck!"


"Severe abdominal pain due to Crohn's disease put me on this. Taking 45mg per 12 hours.  Absolutely could not have lived without it."


"I also started with an 8mg sample from my doctor for overactive bladder.  I felt relief from the pressure within a couple of days.  But several weeks ago I started feeling extremely nauseous.  So much that I have difficulty getting through my work day.  I also became extremely constipated.  It seems like most of these medications have the same side effects.  I will probably stop the Toviaz and get my life back."


"I've been on Portia for over a year and can't complain.  I have always had terrible cramps, on the verge of endometriosis, and this is the first birth control of several I've been on that has actually reduced the cramps - and quite significantly.  I don't really have problems with PMS at all, but have noticed a lower sex drive.  But my periods last 2 days now, and are pretty light, so it's treated me well."


"This is the best birth control option for me. I still get periods once every couple of months but they are light and manageable. Mainly it just makes me feel safe and secure!"


"I am 22 and I've been taking yasmin for almost a year and it's pretty much okay, my skin is clear and cramps and PMS are a lot better than before. Side effects though are weight gain (around 13 lbs) along with bigger boobs and everything which is really not great. Also I have zero sex drive which is making me feel bad. I am thinking about switching to a lower dosage pill but I'm not sure about other pills because I have migraines and I'm worried it'll get worse (yasmin didn't really affect it)."


"I started the 75mg pill three days ago, and have already lost 4 pounds. I eat a small bowl of cereal for lunch and a grilled chicken on wheat for dinner and I am FULL! So far so good. Looking forward to more weight loss!"


"Made me feel worse like I was having a heart attack/panic attack. Too many side effect. No good."


"Calms and suppresses when having any kind of attack, anxiety or overwhelming depression."


"I tried it for 1 month.  I drank tons of water.   I was extremely tired all day, but could not sleep through the night.  Kidneys constantly felt like I was getting stones. I felt bruised for weeks after cessation.  I would rather have a migraine!"


"Ladies, and responsible gentlemen.
I was in the same boat as you so let me tell you how this WORKS WONDERS!
So here's the skinny,
My boyfriend and I had protected sex the day after my period ended October 8th, 2015 at 7:15pm. The condom broke and
Within 20 minutes I took the pill. I felt no symptoms but stress. 2 days go by I noticed slight cramping, pooping, and gas. October 12th I started slight mucusy bleeding the color of rust for 3 days. The day of my "ovulation" I had the worst cramp that lasted 30 minutes. It was so strong I was nauseated. But it went away
But now, 1 1/2 weeks late to my cycle November 10th and I got a very long, heavy, period that lasted longer than my usual periods. Keep calm  it worked! SAVED MY LIFE!"


"I used to take just hydrochlorothiazide alone, and Maxzide is night and day difference... I take it for first time, and 2 hours later, I lost possibly 5 - 6 pounds of water... I can see my abs again. WOW!

I suffer from fluid retension from uncontrolled Hashimoto's."


"I started the Lupron at the beginning of the summer, April 2011 to be exact.  The only side effect I can say I had trouble with was the hot flashes but nothing unbearable and usually over pretty quick.  The first 3-4 weeks after an injection, I would have issues with vaginal dryness but again, nothing unbearable.  I had no mood swings or crazy headaches but I have been constantly plagued with headaches since I was a child so I wouldn't know if this had any effect on those.  Overall, it has been a totally bearable experience and the hot flashes were nothing compared to the pain I had before the Lupron.  I would suggest it if your endometriosis is bad enough."


"I just started taking the Klonopin yesterday. I can already tell a difference in my anxiety. I have been on Effexor for 8 months and have tried multiple other medications to help with the anxiety and panic attacks. Nothing seemed to help. I'm also prescribed Lorazapam for the times when the panic attacks are really bad. I am hopeful that this time things will start being better."


"This is my third colonoscopy and my first time using suprep and it was very thorough. I was interested in this one over the ones that have you drink 64 oz which is too much so this was a plus. I wish I would have seen the suggestions on adding a bit of ginger ale or some peach mango crystal lite . I did try taking it through the straw but there is no easy way if you don't add something else to it to not have that distinct cherry cough syrupy taste.  After drinking so much I was a bit distended and nauseas but that passed after 15 min. I was chilled as many indicated so I wore a sweater and winter coat. Problem solved. Because I had a low fiber diet all week my second half produced only clear liquids. Check internet for diet."


"I was switched by veteran's administration medical hospital along with  all va patients from lipitor to rosuvastatin mid 2000? I am 66 and my cholesterol is under 160 with lipitor it barely stayed at 200 I was very excited at the recent  results from rex hospital in raleigh, nc."


"BEWARE!!  Some people have no problem with this benzodiazepine yet there are many who do such as myself.  I took it for hyper thyroid.  It has ruined the last 14 months of my life!!!  Words cannot express the mental and physical torture I experience daily. PLEASE Google Professor Ashton to read the side effects.  Visit Benzo Buddies.  You will learn about the horrors these meds cause as well as success stories of those who survived this!  There has been a bill introduced in Massachusetts to get doctors to warn their patients!!  Warn everyone you know!  Don't be fooled!  My world has been turned upside down and I don't want it to happen to you!!"


"Daliresp did cause me nausea and diarrhea, but... Doctor prescribed Zofran for the nausea and Zofran causes constipation. Problem solved."


"Got BV recently. Went to doctor. Got prescription and i started taking it on Sunday. First day, no symptoms. Second day, only a mild headache for a few hours. Yesterday, no symptoms.  At least the smell cleared up. It's fourth day and i feel quite hungry. I take the pill 3x a day and with food and juice. I crush the pill up and mix with juice so it'll taste better (and i have a fear of choking on pills). So far, so good. The pill affects everyone differently."


"Last summer I was in the hospital because of a stroke.  To stabilize my blood pressure my Dr. used 4 different pills including amlodipine.  I once got migraines once a month or more.  I haven't had one in 11months.  I think they're gone and I DON'T MISS THEM AT ALL.  Thank you for amlodipine."


"I had an appointment with the neurologist who at the time deciding to put me on Dilantin and in two weeks I started bloating I figured it was stress over knowing that your GF of my life has to move back to Brasil just because it is a law and marriage was not legal. I didn't care that I was bloating and the rash I called and went back to show the nurse... It was only on my torso and didn't itch... So I stayed out late dancing with her and our friends and crashed around 3am. At 9am my entire body looked like I had blue and red tiny looking bruises and they weren't itchy but I all of a sudden said to my friend after dropping my GF at the airport."I need a hospital please drive me? I'm feeling really bad and I had no idea what I was in for. STS"


"Long story short. I have suffered depression for 20+ years and anxiety for the last year which led me to resign from a stressful management position, my co worker recommended zoloft, my GP started me on 50mg which I took for 2 weeks, my dose was increased to 100mg, it has now been  about 6 weeks, I had very few side affects for a few days, slight insomnia, loss of appetite (have lost quite a few kgs) and a little jaw clenching, I feel a lot calmer, I have a little more interest in activities, showering, cooking and cleaning more which are all great results, family members have noticed subtle changes, laughing/smiling and doing more, In saying that I feel as though my dose needs to be increased but will give it 2 weeks, Give it  time:)"


"Cannot sleep on Remeron"


"Horrible, horrible, horrible. Spotted for several months and headaches galore. Had to take two pills per day just to stop spotting, and even then - no luck. I called my doctor who switched me to Loestrin which is much better.  DON'T take this - just awful."


"I was prescribed 250mg of Levaquin after the ZPak didn't help my sinusitis, and the Levaquin didn't help either.  After the 3rd day I had pain in my Achilles heel, fourth day, I had nausea and vomiting, however I just felt weak all over.  The pain in my heel went away, but again a week later on my 9th or 10th day, I had nausea and vomiting again, and experienced vision problems with all those funny floaters in my eyes. I thought I saw spider webs all over, very disturbing and lightning flashes. I don't feel it was worth anything to me."


"To start: I have menstrual migraines because I create too much estrogen. I cannot use birthcontrol that contains estrogen. I chose to get Nexplanon 7 weeks after having my first baby. Before I had the baby, I had an IUD which I LOVED, but the process of getting it implanted was extremely painful because I have a tilted uterus. So I decided to try Nexplanon. I've had this in for about a year during which I've basically NEVER stopped bleeding. Very light mostly - can wear a liner. But it NEVER stops. Extremely low sex drive. Moody. Told by doc this would all stop after "some time". Planning to get it removed soon. I will never use this form of BC again - I don't care that it's the most effective on the market; side effects are miserable."


"I have had non-diabetic neuropathy pain for several years. The pain was very intense, causing loss of sleep and impact to normal activities. I had tried Elavil, Lyrica, Neurontin, Mobic, Zanaflex and many others.  The cause of my pain is herniated discs so physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic treatments were also tried. A new pain doctor finally recommended Cymbalta and it was a miracle! After a week, there was a significant reduction and after 6 weeks, the reduction is truly outstanding. I have not encountered any side effects other than loss of appetite (a bonus!).  I am taking 60mg daily and am grateful we tried this before attempting any invasive procedures.  I strongly encourage anyone in my category to give this a try."


"I love it!  Makes me feel human again.  My only side effect is sleepiness."


"I started having at itchy mouth/throat with ulcers developing on day 5, not realizing I was having an allergic reaction. On day 7, I went to bed and woke up at 5am  then almost  blacked out while laying in the bed, sweating and my whole abdominal area swelled up from below by breast area all the way down. It was the weirdest feeling I've ever had and thought I was literally going to die. I grabbed 2 Benadryl immediately (thank goodness I had it) and got immediately to the doctor. This happened 4 weeks ago. And I am still not over the itchy roof of my mouth and still have a few ulcers. I am 42 yrs old and I have used this medicine several times over the years so I don't know what happened, but I want to tell other women to please be careful."


"After only two doses I experienced nausea, dizziness, stomach cramps, and muscle and joint pains.  I couldn't finish the Cipro I was prescribed."


"Colds turn into sinus infections pretty easily on me. Yes I wait a while before I go to the doctor for antibiotics as most sinus infections are viral. By the time I went to the doc with this one I was MISERABLE. Hurting down into my jaw even. Within a few hours of taking the first pill there was relief. I never knew I could have so much disgusting stuff come out of my nose. I always take probiotics (especially while on antibiotics) to decrease GI side effects. TAKE PROBIOTICS. Nausea and diarrhea are possible with any antibiotic."


"I am so happy to find these reviews. I originally tried Loestrin 24 a few years ago and it was great! However, I went to back school and could not afford it anymore. I started using it again a few months ago. I felt tired all of the time and never had any energy. I would always get really bloated, experienced symptoms of pregnancy. My mom was even convinced I was pregnant due to my symptoms, breast tenderness, but I decided to stay on this pill because I now have short periods. Can wear pantyliner when on my cycle and cramps only the 1st day of my cycle. However, I have been a nutbasket, my moods are all over the place, I am always angry, sad, crying for no reason, argumentative. I couldn't figure out why."


"I was on the Fetanyl Patches 100 mg every 2 days.  then my doc put me on opana 40, 3 times a day and I think they work just as good if not better. It didn't give me the anxiety or weird feelings I get off certain pain pills."


"From the insertion I was uncomfortable and the cramp was so painful. The Dr said to expect a pinch and a cramp. Haha I was in pain and having contraction like cramps for weeks.  Today was one month and I had severe cramps for hours. I finally reached in and pulled it out. Who knew something so small could have me doubled over in pain from just walking or sitting the wrong way. I was taking minimum 6 pain pills a day. God bless anyone else going through these cramps. It wasn't worth it.
I did not have insurance so I am greatful that planned hoods sponsors paid for it."


"My heart goes out to anybody who has or is going through the real horrendous side of drink, the sweats shakes delirium, there is help (chlordiazepoxide) it WILL help you if you really want to quit. Ps:  the max (librium) dose is 25mg per day (5x5)mg"


"I am 19 years old and this is the first experience I've had with birth control thus far. I just began this birth control about a week ago. I'm not sure how to rate this because I have nothing to compare it to but my experience has not been very good. The morning after the first day I took it I felt so nauseous. By 10am I had thrown up absolutely everything in my stomach. I feel nauseous after every meal now and also get mild headaches. I have to say my acne has cleared up a bit and I haven't had any other bad symptoms. I'll have to reevaluate after I have been on chateal for a while but as of right now it makes me feel very sick."


"I have been using Aczone for about a month now.  I have had acne for years.  I am now 26 and have recently experienced a pretty bad flareup of my acne, so for the first time I went to the dermatologist.   After a couple of bad products, I finally got introduced to Aczone...and I love it.  Since starting on it, my skin has cleared up dramatically without peeling or sensitivity issues.  I use it once a day and have managed to still be using the tiny 3 g tube that I got as a sample, so a little goes a long way.  I have a coupon for it when I finally fill my prescription (which I WILL be doing, regardless of the cost).  Also, it's important for me to say that I am not on anything else--just Aczone."


"I was on this pill for 3 months and I decided to switch because I kept getting breakthrough bleeding and headaches. I did not experience any changes in breast size like some other people are claiming to get, I also did not experience any weight change. I did always feel lazy/tired and my hair seemed to be falling out. On a good note, it seemed to help with my acne and didn't kill my sex drive. Oh, and I didn't get pregnant."


"I have had swelling of my right eye, tried to the point at the end of my work shift I want to just sleep, ache like I have the flu and most disturbing I go into major rage at everything.  I have only been taking for 1-1/2 weeks I'm stopping before I hurt somebody in my rage."


"Absolutely horrible!! It wasn't until a yr of several tests, scans and a colonoscopy that made me go to another Dr and beg him to find out what was wrong with me. I never dreamed it was this medicine. I had lost 30 lbs but I had diarreha, funny taste in mouth, weak, hair loss, foggy, memory was bad, felt like my muscle mass was going down to nothing...my daughter said I was looking frail all the time. It started getting hard to get out of bed...this went on for a yr and a half.I was getting older and taking care of my elderly folks so I didn't read into it much. I'm so glad I switched drs...he noticed immediately what it was and told me to wean myself off of it."


"Ella was really the only option for me (over weight and wouldn't have been able to get plan b soon enough and didn't have bc pills yet) and I did have unprotected before finally putting a condom on. I took it three days after and about two hours after I was dizzy like I have never been before. Thankfully it lasted for about 2-3 hours. My period came on time but there was some spotting (barely) before and the cramps, oh god were they terrible. I was curled up on the kitchen floor at one point trying to make toast (I usually have bad cramps, just made them about two times as bad as normal). My roommate had a similar experience with plan b making cramps worse. So from my experience, ella works. Got my period on time, just more intense cramps."


"Do not, I repeat, do not take this birth control.
I read the bad reviews and figured it would not happen to me because I never have bad medical side effects.
HOWEVER:
I got sick to my stomach everytime I put on a patch to the point of throwing up.
I lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks due to this.
I got severe mood swings and A LOT of acne.
Not worth it. I lasted 3 months and nothing changed."


"To the gentleman whose doctor switched him from Klonopin to Cymbalta:  The reason you are suffering from severe anxiety is that you were taken off a Benzodiazepine too quickly instead of having been TAPERED off the drug.  Cymbalta is no substitute for Klonopin. Your doctor needs to go back to med school!  I've been taking 60 mg of Cymbalta since 2009, after my husband committed suicide. It has helped me a lot with depression and anxiety, but I'm finding that my anxiety has recently increased because my new husband has lung cancer. I was put on 90 mg of Cymbalta recently, and I'm hoping that the higher dose will decrease, and not increase, my anxiety levels."


"I had been taking Savella for about four years and had no idea how well it was working until I decided to go off of it, because I do not like taking any medication. Within a few days, it was clear that without medication             ( Savella) I was going to be in pain. I saw my doctor and asked to try something else. I was put on bupropion and then later switched to  Adderall for the chronic fatigue and pain, caused by fibromyalgiai. The bupropion made me dopey and lethargic, even after two months. Then I tried Adderall, which did help with the fatigue but the pain came back and worsened over the next two months. I am totally convinced that nothing works better than Savella...at least for me. I started back on Savella and

feel great."


"I used the cvs brand tioconazole ointment 6.5% for a mild yeast infection. After insertion I read all the horrible reviews and was scared to death at what I was about to go through. However, I experienced no itching and no burning. Of course I had some leakage the next day so I would suggest wearing a panty liner, but other than that this treatment worked great! Definitely will use again if needed."


"Fosrenol takes some time to get used to. It's a white chewable and tastes like chalk but it works great at reducing phosphorus.  I've tried 4 different binders and it's the only one that made a significant difference in my lab results."


"Suprep was not as disgusting as some people said in their reviews. While not pleasant, it was tolerable. I mixed the medicine with Sprite and using a funnel, poured the container contents into an empty 16 oz. water bottle. I used a straw to drink the mixture. After taking each few big sips, I ate a big bite from a popsicle to erase the taste. I then waited 5 or 10 minutes and did the very same thing over and over until the bottle was empty. This took about 30 minutes. Then over the next 2 hours I drank 32 ozs. of various, good tasting liquids. Within an hour, my bowels started to move. The next morning, I repeated the above process. I did not vomit or have any side effects. Three hours before my procedure, I was expelling just water."


"Experienced immediate relief from foggy brain, ended headaches and muscle and joint pain."


"Hi, well I was on clomid for 5 month, I just find out I am pregnant ... It worked for me , we are just waiting for our app next Wednesday , two years ago  I had a miscarriage "


"I have had sweaty armpits for years! Tried the napkin trick, black tops, not lifting my arms, avoiding people, various deodorants and not shaving. Wasn't living freely! This stuff works! Doctor prescribed it. I would pay 100.00 per bottle if that's what it took to get it. Don't get excited when you put it on, thinking the more you put on the less you will sweat. This will cause severe itching. A little bit goes a long way. The next morning- no sweat. This product has given me my social life back. Love it."


"Had unprotected sex around 11PM and took the pill at 10AM the next day. I live in the UK so I got it for free from the local NHS walk-in centre. After taking the pill I experienced some depression, apathy and was sleepy for the next 4-5 days to the point where I would sleep for 13 hours and still feel tired. 5 days after taking the pill I experienced light spotting. I also felt nauseous from time to time 2-3 weeks after. Got my period 6 days late. Was totally freaking out before that so did home pregnancy tests and went to see my GP. He said it's normal to have delayed menstruation or even skip a month after taking the pill. Do a home pregnancy test if you're anxious.They are 99% accurate if taken 3 weeks after last unprotected sex."


"I'm pretty excited. My dress size is down from an 8 to a 4 after about 8 months on Belviq. Yes I am exercising daily. My eating habits have changed for the better. I think that is how it works. You forget to eat and when you do eat you eat less. You get used to eating less and better, healthier foods seem to fill you up more than before. I have now new eating and exercising habits so yes, this is the new me. I hope this helps others as much as it has helped me!"


"I use this medicine for self-harming thoughts. I take 1.5 mg and it does help a lot. My self-harming thoughts have less power and "stick" less when I'm taking this medication. However, I have gained a lot of weight. I eat pretty healthily, exercise 2 to 3 times per week, and I'm only 17, but I've gone from 130 pounds to 180 pounds after taking this medicine for 3 and a half years. Another side effect is very vivid dreams that occur every night, but this isn't a problem. I also stopped getting my period for about a year and a half; however, that could have been due to self-starvation, since it has come back now (the medication is also lower than it has been)."


"I was put on Yaz earlier this year by my regular doctor. Within a week of taking yaz, I had severe pain in my abdomen, I couldn't breathe without being in excruciating pain. A week later I was worse, I was in the worst pain I'd ever felt constantly. I went back to the Dr and after a week of testing and hundreds of dollars found out I have a Gall Bladder Infection and may have to have surgery to remove my gall bladder.  Luckily, medication cleared it up after a few days. Since then I have found out that there is actually a number of class actions, in a number of different countries including Australia & Canada, against the maker of Yaz due to the immense number of adversely effected women. Dont go near it!!"


"I was on Sprintec for about 2 years. At first I was very nauseous and felt depressed/moody. 2 or 3 months took care of the depression, but for the whole 2 years I was on Sprintec I couldn't shake the nausea due to it being too high of a dose. Sprintec would've been great if it hadnt made me so nauseous."


"This stuff hurts. I took three like an idiot, at around 9:30 last night. It's sometime before seven in the morning, and I'm going that's for sure, but my stomach is in my throat!! The cramps are horrid, and I want to vomit."


"So much better than the creams."


"I've had IBS for years but when I had colon surgery 3 years ago, I started to really have problems with chronic severe diarrhea--10 to 12 x's a day. I was miserable, leaking, wearing Depends, just depressed about no solution. Finally I found a doctor who prescribed Lomotil--2 tabs--4 x's a day and it worked! And without any side effects. I'm now down to 2 or 3 doses a day and feeling so much better."


"Seems that many men have used this medicine. Last summer I lost the best part of 4.5 stone.  Yes, they do work, but at the time I was very busy with a very big project in our garden - all manual labour, so this no doubt a large contributory factor. Over the winter I have put some of it back on and am now 13 stone.   The weight has gone from my pectorials, neck, face, legs, but I still can't lose as much of it from where I want to....... my belly. Achieved a small loss from 44inches down to 40 inches, not nearly enough. I am 70 next year. Oh, by the way, my wife bless her doesn't help! "I've made your favourite. A lovely spag bol tonight sweetheart You need a blow out now & again" What to do? My Mrs makes best spag bol on earth!"


"So my wife decided to take this after we looked at many options in the store and I regrettably recommended it to her. It did nothing except cause her severe abdominal pain and cramps. It didn't do anything to help the constipation whatsoever. Plus the next night at dinner she had to run from the table to use the bathroom. It does not do anything it says it will."


"It did help me quit smoking and I've been smoke free since June 29th.I quit 3 weeks into the program.The problem was I got a terrible rash from it. My whole left arm and both ankles look like I have the measles that were scratched open. Even my face got it. The bubbled up kind of rash that if you scratch it the bubbles pop and it's red a raw looking. Needless to say I quit taking Chantix right after the pharmacist told me it could be from that. Now I have to go to the clinic to see what to do about the rash. I am glad I was able to quit smoking because just I found out my grandson has asthma the poor kid. I really didn't want to quit but when your Grand kids don't want to come over because you smoke it gives you the incentive to."


"Worst reaction to a drug I ever had.  Horrible 24 hrs after taking the first 25mg sample. Severe stomach ache, bloating and cramping.  Severe, extreme dizziness...and the drug blocked my morphine and gave me horrible opioid withdrawal effects.  I was close to going to the ER but kept telling myself it would be over soon.  It didn't happen for 30 hrs.  Felt like passing out...I was a mess.  I take a lot of meds for chronic lyme, fibro and chronic crps pain. I would never take this again.  What has helped me is the otc diet pill ALLI which blocks fat from absorbing in the stomach and linzess.  The movantik was a horrible experience for me and will never take again.... opioid withdrawal symptoms are awful."


"I have used fiorinal for years and had no problems, however my migraines have gotten worse over the last few months. I took a 100 mg imitrex yesterday and the side effects were terrible. My neck, head, throat, shoulders all became tight and felt as though I was "high" per se. I finally had to go up to bed and calm myself. I slept for 5 hours and woke up feeling groggy. If I need to take it again I will break it in half. It was a scary feeling. They only gave me 6 pills, thank goodness. I will stick with the fiorinal and a cup a coffee."


"Mirapex was prescribed on Dec. 3, 2012, for my stage II Parkinson's Disease. From the first week (0.375mg only), all but a few of my symptoms were mitigated. Only a few minor side effects, which disappeared once I went to 0.75 MG for a week. Now at 1.5 MG. Easy to take, easy to swallow. I take after I've eaten a banana or piece of bread to avoid nausea."


"I know it's different for everyone, but this drug brought me from suicidal to actually enjoying life in less than a month. I'm not jumping for joy by any means, but I'm certainly not UNhappy."


"Live in central Texas and did get a flu shot. Flu symptoms started on Monday at 3 am. I took Tamiflu Monday at 7 pm. (Got flu 2 years ago And learned you have to take quickly after symptoms). My fever is better (hovering at 99.8) and aches are lessening, but man it makes me sick to my stomachs for about an hour after taking it. However it's worth it.   Just took my third dose. Hopefully I'll get back to normal."


"I have an intraethical Morphine Pump Implant now since 2002.   Hydromorphone was recommended as the 'break through pain' treatment.   I take, typically, a 2mg pill roughly every two to six hours and that appears adequate.   Unfortunately, in times of higher pain, when the pump appears inadequate, I have had to take more of the pills.   The more I use, the more I felt I needed to use them.   When I 'sucked it up' and endured a little higher than usual pain for a day or two, taking less Hydromorphone, I was then able to restart the pills and they had a better effect.   I guess to sum it up, taking a break from the pills once in a while ensured that they were still effective."


"The insertion was not pleasant but also tolerable. Mine took a while to put in because I am young and haven't had any children. The first day was pretty awful and had bad cramps and bleeding for about two weeks decreasing in frequency and severity as those 2 weeks progressed . I had a few months of irregularity which was normal because that's why I had it put in in the first place. For the past year (almost 2 years) I have been period less! Not one which means no more crippling cramps and constant 28 day on 2 day off periods (yah I'm not kidding) so I would say just get over that few month bump in the road and enjoy the years of period free bliss!"


"Been an addict for 5 years. Was so difficult to get off, because of the pain of withdrawal and medical issues. Suboxone absolutely works for the pain I endure with having a herniated disc. I also suffer with kidney stone disease and migraines. Suboxone doesn't help with that, and nothing else will because Suboxone blocks it. I'm put in a difficult situation. I don't want to relapse, but the last time I had a stone and couldn't take any pain meds, the pain was so much I passed out. I sometimes feel I traded one addiction for another."


"This drug worked miracles for my skin but the side effects are overwhelming. I constantly have an upset stomach and am always tired. I have to take this medicine right before bed so I can function throughout my day. Usually when I wake up I still fell some of the side effects like an upset stomach."


"Omg never again this is my second YI , the first one I got the oral medicine from the Dr because I was pregnant . Well this time I just went & got the Monistat 3 because I didn't want to wait at the Dr all day . I never used it before & I thought the pre filled cream seemed okay, like straight to the point. Well ... it was straight to the point , the point of no return. I started itching & burning 1000xs worst than before I inserted the cream. It's only day 1 but I will not be using the other two doses I'll go get the suppository one instead . I had to get a towel full of ice & put it between my legs , to try to ease the discomfort I even cried because I was like it was never going to stop. NEVER AGAIN !!!"


"Zanaflex has been very helpful with my ability to finally have a good nights sleep. No side effects, relaxes me and is NOT addictive. At least for me it is not. It does NOT "heal" the muscle spasms. I would recommend Zanaflex for people with severe muscle spasm."


"I am being treated for "fibro like" pain. After suffering with these unexplained pains my doctor put me on tramadol and amitriptyline. After 3 days on the medicines, I feel like I have my life back. I am sleeping so much better, I am able to do everyday activities with very little pain and my overall mood has improved! The only side effect I have noticed is wicked headaches."


"Obviously, everyone's body has different chemistry and because of our genetic predispositions, diet, and environment, study samples of women may all react differently to a certain oral contraceptive. Personally, I found Ortho Tri Cylen Lo to be effective for the first two months, and then I experienced a horrid yeast infection, breakthrough bleeding, and abdominal pains. I took my pills at the same exact time every night with the same amount of water. My sex drive disappeared, and I felt terribly bloated. The absolute worst was my unstable mood. I was making snappy comments and feeling suicidal."


"Should very careful if suffering from Osteonecrosis of Jaw, and avoid in pregnancy."


"Budesonidice has been a life saver for me. The GI doc put me on this after a colon biopsy. Two months at 9 mg per day. I went off but the symptoms returned after about two weeks and escalated . He put me back on with 2 per day for a month. Then I have taken one daily for maintenance.

Recently my pharmacy stopped selling the red and grey capsules and changed to the teva peach and orange and my colitis came back with a vengeance. Im back on 9mg day again. I have some of each generic. The Teva product is NOT the same strength or quality as the other red and grey. I have since tried each for a period and sympt. Symptoms consistently return w/I 2 days with Teva product."


"This is my 1st yeast infection ever (47 yrs).  The burning and itching after using the cream is unbearable.   For 2 hours all I want to do is scratch and I keep getting shooting pains in my va jay jay.  I'm using the 3 day and tonight's my last one.   If it doesn't help I'm definitely making a doctor appointment to get something else.  I will never use this again."


"Took metformin and victoza for about 2 years I lost a lot of weight with it and sugar levels were low. But I only have one kidney. I now have chronic kidney disease because of these medications. I also have a bundle problem with my heart from using victoza.  I was dehydrated all the time with victoza no matter how much water I drank"


"I've been on this birth control for a few months. I love it. The first couple of months it decreased my appetie. I don't have mood swings, which I have got with other birth control, my face is a little dry now which is fine because I had super oily skin and I have not noticed any weight gain. I love it. My only concern was not getting a period, only spotting but after reading the many reviews this must be pretty common."


"I got mine in October 2013, I was free of periods for the next 2-3 months but since January 2014 I have had constant bleeding, with a stop of just a few days each month. However, it is very light. I wish it would stop."


"Did not work at all."


"I started taking this medicine over a week ago... And let me say I feel WAY worse then I ever did. I started Zoloft 12.5g Bc I was feeling depressed and had anxiety well it's gotten worse I feel stuck... Heads foggy.... Worsing anxiety... Have no emotions... Panic attacks... Can't sleep.... Can't consintrate... Can't shower... Can't eat... Idk whether to stick it out or try a new medicine all I know so far this has been the worst thing ever!! I just want to go back to my old self:("


"I started using Estrace because of frequent urination with burning, and dryness. I started menopause 4 yrs ago. When I use Estrace after 2 days I have to stop due to bleeding, and cramping that lasts for a week. I'm not a fan!"


"Flomax works well as for helping to pee. I hope there is another medicine soon because it interferes with sex life and ejaculations is internal. I must admit though it does help in urination. So if you have an active sex life you may want to ask for a different medicine."


"It's a good product.  I have been on Paxil and Celexa but Effexor XR was the only thing that made me feel normal.  I have been on it for 7 months and I would suggest it to anyone who has depression."


"I had a series of severe episodes in '14 and that's when I began this drug. Initially it made me really drowsy but it was manageable. Otherwise I've had absolutely no problems! Only downside is that its levels can be easily affected/lowered with other drugs. In order to take birth control pills I had to nearly double my lamictal dosage as the estrogen made my lamictal levels plummet."


"I have had severe anxiety all my life sweaty hands, sweaty feet, shaky feel like your vibrating inside dizzy light-headed it is an awful way to live and until I was an adult with kids of my own. l had no treatment but now I have literally tried every depression and anxiety medication there is and  Prozac has helped me the most without unbearable side effects."


"Its great if you take it when you feel the heart burn coming on. If you find yourself in mid severe heart burn, beware it will take 30-45 mins to kick in."


"My parents took me in for testing in 5th grade because of lacking in school, failing at best. A few years later in high school I went to my therapist for extreme anxiety and my PCP diagnosed me with ADHD. I was put on strattera at age 16. Worked amazing almost right away. My only side effects were extreme dry mouth for a few weeks and loss of appetite . I also lost about 20 pounds. Which I was pleased with because I've always struggled with being over weight. I was doing better in school.  Being able to focus on papers and projects and for the first time even doing my homework and turning it in on time. My self confidence grew tremendously also. I made better eating choices and wasn't anxious. Now 25 and starting again! No side effects so far"


"I have been a cluster headache suffer for 25 years.....My Dad suffers as well....I remember him sitting in a chair day after day, night after night with no real relief. I never could understand or know how intense the attacks were until I started with mine...lucky my dad was prescribed Imitrex in the 90's at the beginning of mine... his words and mine are that this drug is a god send for us suffers.......My issue is now my insurance company will only approve 2 boxes of shots (4) per month. So my only way is to stock pile these 2 boxes every month until my next attack....well I'm out and now I wiil use coupons or any other way to purchase these on my own to try to save $ ...Sad UHC will not approve the number of shots needed for each episode"


"Took this pill 2 times the past 2 months and each time turned out fine. First one was unprotected sex with my bf, he pulled out but we were just really paranoid so we went and bought the pill one hour later. Two weeks later my period came one day late. Second time was unprotected sex with him but when he pulled out there was a lot of pre cum (he had also ejaculated earlier that day so we were worried there was sperm in it) so we went and bought the pill the next day. I was so worried I was pregnant!! My period didn't come on the day it was supposed to, but I kept having lots of symptoms of it. Finally it came and it was 4 days late!!!! We learned our lesson and will always use condoms every single time from now on!!"


"It's effective, but it is horrible !!!  Terrible taste and too much to drink.  Highly recommend Suprep instead - taste is not bad and only 16 ounces at night and 16 ounces the next morning."


"Helped with my pain (scoliosis), but after a few days I bacame very groggy even on the lowest dose (50 2x per day) Cannot take in the morning. They actually seem STRONGER than Vicoden wich I had before, because of the groggy side effect I really feel doped up on them and have told my Dr. I will use in the future for severe pain as needed, not as a daily thing."


"I've  even taking gabapentin for three years. From the get-go I have felt the benefits of this medicine. I usually take 300mg morning and evening.  If I have a "crowded" situation, I sometimes use it at lunch time as well.  I have done well on this. I know that isn't for everyone.  But this is the medicine that has come along and freed
me from anxiety. A true liberator with no dopey side effects."


"I started taking sprintec the second week of August followed by my period. Ever since I started the pill I've experienced feeling nauseous, vomiting, morning sickness, my sex drive was low and depression.  I wouldn't want to be around anyone and was just always sad. I also experienced weight gain, which wasn't a problem. But I haven't stopped bleeding since I started the first pack. And I don't think I can't handle being depressed for another two month"


"I have been battling with depression for years and recently hit a plateau while taking Prozac. Not just with my depression but with my weight as well. I did some research online about Wellbutrin, read many reviews and decided to ask my doctor for a prescription. It was the best decision I could have made. I feel so much better not just mentally but physically. I have finally been able to lose weight again and feel good about my life. I am not sure about others but my side effects were a small headache and a little anxiety to begin with but it subsided within 2 weeks. I will never switch to anything else."

"I think Adipex helps if you're obese.  In my case, I only have about 20 pounds to lose and it's not worked that much for me."


"I personally have had a horrible experience with this birth control. Of course I understand its going to affect everyone in a different way but I wanted to share my experience. Around the third month of taking Sprintec I started noticing my mood swings were out of control. If I'm not mad I usually just feel numb. I don't genuinely feel excited about anything. I have 0 sex drive and I'm only 21 years old. It made my breasts bigger and I feel like I gained a little weight which I don't mind. I'm looking to switch to something with lower estrogen!"


"I have taken Soma for 2 months now. It does not have the side effects that Zanaflex has. I can sleep with this medicine. I would recommend this without reservation."


"I read the directions wrong for flagyl, I took two 250mg a day instead of four a day . So now I would be taking the pills for about 10 -11 days if I start to take them 4 a day now like I was suppose to. But  I am not sure if it is that safe to take them for that long if I continue to take them  now at 4 a day But I do have a big event this weekend and alcohol is involved , and everyone will ask why I'm not drinking because I am the partier and drinker. Not sure what to do"


"Woke up in pain with stone Friday.  Ask my Dr. to prescribe Flomax and took my first dose at noon on Saturday.  Pass the stone this morning (Sun.).  I experienced a stuffy nose and felt light headed, but it was well worth it.  One Capsule did the trick."


"I got this after being taken off the depo shot (which caused severe carpal tunnel syndrome). I can't stand it.  The pain when I move my arm is this stabbing sharp burning pain. It is horrible.  I was not told that this pain was even a possible side effect."


"I am 21 years old and just suffered from my first major breakout of cold sores in my life. It was pretty bad and I was frustrated from the unsightly sores appearing on my lips and mouth. I also had an outbreak just below my eye in the sensitive skin. I went to the doctor and she prescribed me with the Zovirax cream and I saw a lessened appearance in worst of the cold sores on my lip in less than 24 hours. While it takes time for them to heal, I definitely think this is a worthwhile drug. It cost me $45 so its not super cheap, but it really alleviated some of my symptoms. I had another cold sore forming on my lip just below the bad one and it stopped that one dead in its tracks and I already see it healing and not blistering. Worth it!"


"i am a bipolar and i deal with mania all of my life and tried everything. Trileptal is the best medication for bipolar mania. Trileptal is even better than lithium and depakote no side effects. i have been taking more than 19-20 years no side effects and love it."


"Dr ordered me IV w Reglan and Benadryl last night at ER. After over 48 hrs of misery I immediately got relief. I don't understand people who are saying they felt like they were coming out of their skin- I passed out almost immediately (which was great because I have only been able to sleep about 3 hours over the 48 hour period before ER). Guess we are all different. I will say that I got a solid 8 hours of pain relief and finally sleep but now it's back :( We are having lots of winter storms here so maybe something to do with the air pressure or something? IDK but this sucks."


"I had the paragard IUD in for five years, it is supposed to be effective up to ten years but I got pregnant in my fifth year of having it and subsequently had to have an abortion.  This was the single most horrific experience of my life."


"I am a 37 year old woman who has never had a child.  I switched to Mirena from Seasonale birth control because I get migraines with visual auras.  Taking an estrogen based birth control pill is contraindicated in women with visual aura migraines as it increases the risk of ischemic stroke.  I had the insertion done this morning and it took about a total of two minutes from the time the speculum was inserted, tenaculum used to spread the cervix and then the actual insertion of the Mirena.  On a pain scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst pain) I would say it was about a 7.  The uncomfortable part to me was when the tenaculum was used for cervix separation. Two hours later all I have is mild cramps."
