"I used to have terrible acne on my skin, and so I went to my dermatologist and he prescribed this. I used it for about half a year, and my acne was starting to clear up. Although, I recommend wearing lots of sunscreen during the summer, because you will get facial sunburns. But oddly enough, while using Oracea, I started to experience moderate heart palpitations and panic attacks and anxiety, and so I stopped using Oracea immediately. I am not sure that I recommend this to everyone."


"I was just put on the ER after being on the regular Nucynta for about 2 yrs. I did not like it. My pain levels have been much worse.  I like the idea of not having to take it all the time and only taking it twice a day. Maybe I just need the dose upped. I have had no problems with the regular Nucynta."


"I am extremely satisfied with this medication. I took it for 5 months, and at my peak I was prescribed 40mg twice a day. It took about 3.5 months to start noticing results. I have now been off it for 3 weeks and wow! My skin is 100% clear. I've had acne since I was a teen and after failing other options such as antibiotics, I was placed on Claravis. You will have chapped lips. I had to apply aquaphor (really good chapstick) every 15 minutes. Other side effects I had were nosebleeds, dry skin, eczema, rashes on my hands and arms, very sore muscles, sore chest, and any scrapes I got took absolutely forever to heal. I felt sluggish, sort of like I had the flu for 5 months. However, having clear skin was definitely worth it!"


"Used risperidone for PTSD in conjunction with two other scripts. Week one observations: day one nightmares as expected . As the week progressed dreams not getting to nightmare level. Agitation level/triggers decreased. On a down side, I feel sick like the flu or cold but co-workers have been passing it around so I suspect it is not due to the medication. I'll Re-post in a month or so."


"I've had many urinary tract infections and the normal medicines just quit working - I've been successfully treated with Vantin 3 times."


"Worst allergy medication on the market. Buyer be ware! I cannot stop sneezing and my eyes are watery. Don't have this issue with Zyrtec. I'm going back to it!"


"I just had Mirena "installed" 3 days ago.
I am 27 and have never had a child. I decided to go with Mirena, not actually even for birth control purposes, but instead due to my extremely painful periods. I have been experiencing absolutely awful cramps. I chose Mirena because I am hopeful that it is going to ease my discomfort and make my periods more bearable.
A friend of mine had Mirena put in 2 years ago, when we were both 25. She absolutely loved it and recommended it to me. After she told me that she basically felt like she was a "guy" because she didn't even think about her period since it didn't effect her anymore and she basically didn't get her period anymore or any bleeding. I thought this sounded ideal so I decided to go for it."


"Cloderm seems to clear up my elbows from all the peeling and bleeding from being so dry."


"Nucynta was prescribed by my pain clinic a few months ago. Despite my complaints of severe anxiety, restlessness, elevated blood pressure , restless legs, my skin turning blue, inability to sleep, they continue prescribing it. I am losing my mind. I have  spinal stenosis, DDD , RA and OA with cervical fusion surgery, two total hip replacements and one hip revision. My life is governed by pain. Since I started taking this horrible rx I am losing my mind. I am 69."


"With Lamictal and Keppra my seizures are currently controlled."


"Very stable medicine in the sense of little personality change and no physical side effects other than loss of appetite in the first week. I am 58 years and believe this medicine is the first ADD medication that I have noticed is truly effective.  It has helped my concentration and increased the length of time I work without any distractions.  As some others have commented, some "passion" has been removed as a trade-off in of efficiency in work and a greater degree of focus.  I think my sense of humor has somewhat diminished and everything is more important in some ways and seriousness has replaced my having fun nature.  I believe on the whole it has made a positive improvement in the way I function."


"Puts me in nice restful deep sleep (normal 7hr night), walk up in morning migraine gone, with no hangover feeling that you would normally get if went to ER for a shot."


"Got me through weeks of heavy summer lifting at work.  "


"I have arthritis in my neck from C4 to C6 plus severe TMJ. I suffered with constant pain in my neck and jaw joints during the past year. My doctor prescribed mobic and within 3 days the pain and swelling in my neck and jaws disappeared. It was almost like a miracle. Tried every over the counter anti inflammatory with no luck. I have had no stomach pain so far just welcomed relief. I can now work my entire shift with no pain."


"Works great, I do not feel like a zombie."


"I used this birth control for about 2 months before I started seeing a difference in my complexion. I started to get acne all over my face. It wasn't red or big bumps, they were a bunch of tiny bumps all under my skin. The longer I took it, the worse it got. I went in for multiple facials to get rid of it because I never had problems with my skin. Finally after 4 months of taking it, I decided to switch birth controls & it has started clearing up only with my first pack of the new birth control. Mononessa worked and I never had any break through bleeding, but it made me extremely emotional! I also saw a difference in my mood once I changed birth controls. I have always had cramps & Mononessa did not help with those either."


"Thank goodness for this medicine.  Migraines are new to me.  I tried Relpax before this one and it did very little for me, even after taking two doses.  I took this with my most recent headache and it worked like a miracle.  I didn't realize how bad I felt until I took this and started to feel better."


"I applied the gel to some contact dermatitis, and it worked great for the rash. However, a side effect I experienced was that it caused me to have very strange dreams during sleep. I now apply it in the morning and have had no further problems."


"My autistic sons behaviors were out of control. Self injury.  After four months and twenty pounds his behaviors came back. He is now an insulin dependant diabetic. I believe the med trigger diabetes. Although I am fully aware diabetes is an autoimmune disease. I caution all parents to have A1C and have a baseline of blood work. It's not just managing calories. His appetite was insatiable."


"This is absolutely amazing, After about 1 3/4 years of sweating I finally had enough when I would sweat through hoodies with huge stains. Non of my friends would say anything about it but my mom (who also has it) finally called my pediatrician and got a prescription. I put it on the first night and it burned alot, but it's nothing unbearable. The next day sweat free. Some days I would forget to put it on at night and go through the day with little to no sweat at all. Not even sweating through my clothes. I still put it on every night just to be safe but it really works!
I would recommend getting this product. Some people say it doesn't protect against smell but it does for me. The only problems is a little itching during the day and a rash."


"I've only been on this birth control for about a week. So far I haven't experienced any side effects. I read a lot of reviews that talked about heavy spotting, I'm hoping that this won't happen to me or I'll have to change it. This is my first time on birth control."


"Save your money. All positive reviews are written by investors of this product's stock."


"Ours 8 year old son as done so much better with the Intuniv.  He takes 2 mg, at night.  I see posts on the cost, check a Canadian pharmacy.  We only pay $450 for 90 days, brand.  Otherwise, would be $900 here in the states.  You fax your prescription and they mail you 3 month supply.  No  side effects for us."


"I got skyla in September of 2015 and the procedure was relatively painless just some slight cramping during the measurement of my uterus. I took a couple Advil beforehand. Since getting it I have gained 13 lbs even though I have started exercising more regularly to combat the weight gain. I have also gotten acne which I have never had before. My face is constantly breaking out and I also get it on my back and behind (all new). I have been reading some other forums and a lot of other women were experiencing the same problem but all of their doctors kept saying weight gain isn't from it. So instead of going to my doctor I decide to pull it out myself. I just had to feel for the strings and pull like a tampon. Would not recommend skyla at all."


"I took it before I got on a flight... Diahrreaing on the plane as I type this"


"Works very well, the only draw back is weight gain."


"I currently take a combination of Ultram(Tramadol) and Cymbalta and feel better than I have in years!"


"If you are taking birth control to help with your acne absolutely DO NOT take this pill. I was put on birth control to help with acne when I was 16, I was on loestrin which helped my acne but I never got my period so when I got to college I switched to Junel and my acne got worse than it was before I was put on loestrin. I had huge pimples that were extremely painful. I barely even wanted to go out in public I was so embarrassed. Recently I was taken off Junel and put on Violere. My skin cleared up in a week!"


"I switched from 100 mg to the shots which are 3 mg. I found that if I lay down for 30 minutes after a shot I get up and feel as if I never had the headache."


"This medicine takes away your infection within a couple of days. I would stay away from caffeine if you are known to have anxiety. Muscle aches are not there like some of these scary reviews... I am very sensitive to a lot of medicine, this one works!! The only side effect is if you go in sun you will get rash.... Also, my jaw feels a little stiff. Other than a few side effects, I'd rather get rid of an infection that could lead to worse!"


"Took this for the better part of 10 years as I can't take estrogen (19-29) and had zero major issues. I got my period consistently every month except one. Had some of the more mild side effects like moodiness and nausea around my period. I still ovulated almost every month. I do think there are some other side effects I may notice as I'm coming off of it now to try to get pregnant, but nothing has been severe enough to interfere with my quality of life or comfort."


"I have been dealing with an itchy, red, flaky rash on my face, (chin area) for a few months. I've tried just about every over the counter cream and ointments recommended by doctors. The PA I work with suggested prednisone for a weeks time. Two 20mg for the first dose, then one 20mg tablet twice a day for 5 days. I took my first dose at 630pm and by 7am next morning my rash was 75% gone. Heard weight gain is a huge side effect from the meds but I can live with that over the embarrassing rash I had for months."


"got prescribed this about a month ago I'm 22, 250 lbs and have had a blood pressure reading of 170/110 for the past year or so after taking cozaar 50 mg for just one month daily its dropped to 112/66 I feel great except for the blurry distorted vision rather have that then die from a stroke or heart attack any day other than that no side effects."


"I've been taking this pill for about 2 & 1/2 years now! I love it! My periods have lighten tremendously and Chateal has cut the amount of time that I'm on my period in half! Everyone's body reacts different but for me, the only side effects have been positive!!"


"I've been taking this birth control for about 3 years now and I would say it's been good for me. The only negative thing  I noticed is increased appetite and a decrease in sex drive. I do think my boobs got bigger from it and I have some mild acne but who knows if it's from the pill or not."


"After trying every type of insomnia medicine, this is the only medication that has worked for me. I don't notice any side effects. It isn't perfect. I still have sleepless nights sometimes; but those are nothing compared to the insomnia I was dealing with before."


"This medication is for my anxiety it knocks me out. I cannot function while on it. My doctor even halfed the dosage. It doesn't help. I don't think I'll ever take it again."


"Just want to say thank you to Tysabri inventors."


"I have been taking this pill for about three weeks now and even though I'm not trying it out for birth control my aunt put me on it, but its better to be safe then sorry. However, my acne (I didn't really have much before) but the little I did have is gone, my face kind of has a glow to it. I'd say this is a pretty good pill."


"Was having a very difficult time controlling my blood sugar.  My A1C reached 9.1 and I was hospitalized for three days, then sent to an endocrinologist.  He put me on Victoza 1.8ML once a day and an Invokana 300MG once a day.  Within 2 three months I was at 5.9 A1C and average 110 blood sugar.  I have lost close to 40 lbs.  There have been some side effects, constipation, cramping, and thirst.  These have all faded and become less extreme after being on the combo for just over 6 months.  I would never change this medication.  It truly has changed my life.  Had to change insurance this year and it was a battle to get the Invokana approved but they relented. Thank goodness.  FYI  I have taken, Glipizide, Glimerpride, Metformin, Actos and Insulin."


"The last year I have suffered greatly from colitis.  I began researching other treatments and medicines because whatever the doctor gave me did little to combat.  I was miserable - diarrhea, nausea, cramping, especially in the mornings, and EVERY time I ate.  Could not go anywhere without an episode. After one week I noticed a difference.  After 2 weeks nausea and cramping very minimal.  After 3 weeks I am off ALL other medicines. I SWEAR by this."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"By far the best prep yet. No headache this time but I've learned some tricks since. First, it needs to be cold! Drink through a straw at the back of your mouth and chase with water. Took awhile but cleaned me out good. Also, sucking on a lemon after every few drinks. I have a strong gag reflex so had to stand over a sink and focus. I don't drink Gatorade because of food coloring, etc. but Smartwater has minerals in it and drinking a large bottle of that helped keep the headache away. You'd think with all the water you're drinking you wouldn't get dehydrated, but you need the electrolytes that the prep depletes."


"This is an extremely potent medication when used in combination with 5-Fluorouracil. My mum had a stage IV colorectal cancer which has metastasised into the soft tissue of the lower abdomen causing an ugly skin lesions on the abdomen. After just three cycles of Oxiplatin and 5-FU the lesion completely healed and mum had a substantial reduction in the tumour size and progression rate.

The problem with the treatment is the severe side effects mainly reduced white blood count."


"I was recently diagnosed bipolar type 2 with mostly depression episodes. I was before on citalopram for 6 months after burning out in April. Latuda has really helps with the mood swings, I'm much more happy, social and productive. It's effect is almost instant. I'm on 10mg and will up to 20mg soon. The only negative effect I've experienced with Latuda is brain fog. It's been challenging for me as I am a university student. With Citalopram I would get straight As, study long periods and memorize 200 pages in 2 days. With Latuda, I have trouble memorizing a paragraph. I also tend to forget stuff. Psychiatrist says it will get better with time. Even tho I enjoyed Citalopram, I had terrible side effects. With Latuda, none. I finally feel normal."


"I had Nexplanon placed on March 1st, 2015. The first 3 months I had no period and was feeling great. But by the 4th month I started feeling depressed, very moody, episodes of anxiety, would cry for no reason. I did not feel like myself at all! After a year of having it in, I finally had it removed yesterday. It is truly amazing how much better I feel without the Nexplanon. I had no idea how badly it was affecting me physically and mentally. I do not recommend this to anyone!!!"


"This drug has worked well for me. The only problem that I have is that it is very hard to get refills. I have been to every drug store within 30 miles and they are all out. I signed up for express scripts under Tricare, they filled my first prescription and now they are out. "


"Helped. Have used off and on for a few months."


"Works great!"


"I tried for six months and would always wake up after only 3 hours. I was great for 4 or 5 days and then would sink into deep depression and threaten family with suicide for about 2 days. . Could never get sleep under control. Made my mood swings more dramatic. Have stopped and gone back to geodon. Just have to put more effort in personally to make myself better to get past serious depression."


"I had a severe migraine. The worst I have had. I have been suffering from them for about 4 years now. It was given Dilaudid intramuscularly and within about 20 minutes the pain let up so I could finally relax and get some sleep."


"Tingling, itching and numbness of my hands.  Sleeplessness leading to insomnia.  Higher glucose numbers no matter the diet nearing diabetes."


"I started taking Xyrem about four weeks ago. It is very easy to take and since taking 4.5 g 2x/night, I know pretty accurately when I will wake up (midnight alarm is not needed). I am also taking Adderall 5-10 mg 2-3x/day and I no longer feel tired and am very focused during classes. Since taking Xyrem, even at the highest dose, the only adverse side effect I have had is nausea, if I don't go to sleep within 20 minutes after taking it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."


"Please tell me you are still going to be making Enjuvia. I have been on this drug for years and it really works great for hot flashes and mood swings.
I need my prescription filled and I am totally out it. The pharmacies are all saying you are not making it any more and that there is no genetic drug- period.
I beg you to still make this product.
What are we to do if we can no longer get it and there is no form of a genetic made?
Us patients can't go off of Enjuvia cold turkey. Evidently, the pharmacies were not warned ahead of time and neither were the Prescribing doctors., that the drug was stopping being made.
This is terrible."


"This medication is very effective! But it is literally the worst ever!!!!! I want to share my story in hopes that it will prevent women from trying this... I'm ten days post nexplanon today and I'm feeling so much more like myself then I have in months. I'm not quite 100% yet. It all started two months ago when my period began I just woke up different. My anxiety was severe and I had begun feeling extreme sadness and depression. My period lasted a month and then when it started again in January the symptoms came back magnified by ten. I thought I was going mad! I lost my appetite and I'm still dealing with being unable to eat. For a while there I couldn't sleep. But everyday it seems to be getting better. I'm starting to smile!!"


"I started taking Effexor to counteract the hot flashes caused by Tamoxifen.  This was truly a miracle cure for the hot flashes.  Literally,  I took the first dose of Effexor and the hot flashes were completely gone within an hour.  I continued taking the medication for 4 days with not a single hot flash.  It was amazing! BUT I had to stop taking it because I slept about 10 hours in 4 days.  I constantly felt nervous,  anxious and unable to relax.  Sleeping was almost impossible.  Sadly I chose the hot flashes over insomnia.  Very disappointed "


"I started taking Yaz 6 months ago for Premenstrual tension syndrome. I think my PMS would last 2 weeks, lots of bloating, lots of acne and lots of moodiness and crying.

Yaz has been life-changing for me. No more PMS, very little breakouts. No more gaining/losing 10lbs every month. I have lost 20lbs to date just because I don't have weird cravings, my energy level is back to normal and I am 5lbs from ideal BMI. I feel GREAT! I love Yaz and am so thankful my doctor."


"I was diagnosed with bi polar in 12/28/2015.. It has been very hard from then until now. I first was on lithium it didn't work for me. I was still maniac. I switched doctors and was put on lithium. My doctor called it the Mercedes of meds.. So I went with it.  It took 4 months to see a difference.. I had to takes meds faithfully.  9 months and Latuda has changed my life. I did gain weight. Now I'm working out on getting it off.."


"Today, I used the 145mg dose of Linzess for the first time.  I suffer with constipation due to the daily use of Methadone to control Restless Leg Syndrome.  I'm glad I took this first dose on a day when I could stay home.  Within 2 hours, I needed to make an urgent trip to the bathroom.  It was a quick trip.  I thought I might have to go quickly again, but I did not.  However, I did feel a little shaky for a while after that.  I rested, and then I felt OK.  No more urgencies to, uh, take care of.  And I feel OK, pretty normal.  So, I don't think I'll take this before work tomorrow, and I'll have to figure out how to fit it into my schedule, but it sure worked quickly and completely."


"I have been on Minocycline for a 2-3 month period. It helped my acne out tremendously, not to the point of clear skin, but drastic improvement. The only down side is that I am having mild diarrhea. I would say that the pros outweighed the cons in the beginning. It's a great medicine, just not for me anymore. Best of luck!"


"Well...Put simply it was awesome. I took my first blood work at 14 days and a high 18 year viral load was gone. I don't feel and extra discomfort from normal. Just wished it was out back in the 90's. I then took all the rest of the days thinking it was unnecessary

Test after a month maximum"


"Before I started taking this I was on Gildess for about 2-3 years. My periods became so much lighter and it just made my skin that much better! I did gain a lot of weight with Gildess in the beginning but it soon shed off after a month or so. I ended up coming off of birth control (worst mistake of my life! I got post birth control acne at its very worse!) anywho, I went back to the doc and she prescribed me prevefim....... I've been on prevefim for a little under a year and I flipping hate it!! First of all, weight gain wasn't a problem.. But my acne is not under control at all. She said it was supposed to clear up my skin and it has yet to do any thing! Best thing about it is no babies. Do not use this!"


"I have two boys they are 2 years and 15 days apart. The day I got the Mirena inserted there was some pain with the procedure but by the end of the day it was gone. I have been bleeding heavy and light since and its been 2 1/2 weeks now. I have noticed hair loss, increase in appetite, and mood swings."


"I absolutely LOVE Aczone. I'm only 12, almost 13, but I started getting somewhat severe acne after I turned 11. The first thing I tried was Proactiv, which didn't work, then I tried Neutrogena, which also didn't work, and I have also used about 6 other tropical treatments that barely worked. In January 2012, I finally went to a dermatologist for help, and he had me try Epiduo with some acne antibiotic, and it worked pretty well for two months, but then I started getting bad breakouts again. When I went back to the dermatologist, he said I may have a different type of bacteria in my acne, so he said Aczone may be better for me, and a different antibiotic. I've been using Aczone and the antibiotic for almost a month, and my face is almost clear!"


"Been on Diovan for 9 years. Started with ringing in my ears and now hearing loss - had to get hearing aids. Also, in the last year had increases in Blood Pressure, followed by controlled 'normal' pressure readings. My blood sugar now is classified as Type II, so several of the problems with this medicine are my problems.  Am going to ask my doctor to change.  If you get ringing in your ears when taking this, don't delay, get off it!"


"After later years of my adolescence and early adulthood I was finally diagnosed (bipolar) and prescribed Seroquel along with lithium. Not only did I finally feel a sense of peace within myself I found that I no longer engaged in the reckless activity that I seemed to have no control over. This behaviour which caused so much grief and upset, nearly caused the breakdown between my family and which I nearly destroyed myself.
It does not get rid of my depression completely but they are not as bad and I find I can cope where as in the past I couldn't.
I find that it's best to take it before bed as it makes me very drowsy which I find a good thing because in the past I found it very difficult to sleep.
Hope this helps."


"I was in Mexico and spent the whole day drinking at the pool (I think they did not wash glasses properly and I contracted it there). I went for dinner and just as I finished my meal I licked my lips and right away could feel the tingle, then bit my bottom lip where it was and had that very sharp pain. Could tell right away, having had several when I was younger. A single small blister had formed on my lip already and luckily I carry Abreva everywhere so I put some of that on right away. Next day it had "popped", I soaked that and put more Abreva. Was starting to heal and crust within 2 days. This is why the ladies in my family carry it everywhere. You have to use it straight away to stop the spreading, but its a life saver."


"This medicine works super for pain if you take enough. I used it for many months for back pain due to disc protrusion. Chronic use gave me stomach problems. I used too much and my doctor claimed I was passing blood so I use it sparingly now, if the Tylenol based medicines do not work well enough. It helps mild headache to where Tylenol does nothing. When you start having heartburn or loose bowel movements stop taking Ibuprofen and use something else tell your doctor or you will hurt yourself seriously. Over the counter does not mean safe to use as you wish."


"This medicine was a life saver! When it was prescribed for me, my life turned around completely. It helped me control my irrational emotional reactions to things, temper, helped to bring my mood up from below while not causing hypomania, lost a little bit of weight on it. The only thing negative about it is when I first started it, it did make me quite anxious, but that attenuated over time. It also makes me tremor quite severely."


"My doctor has increased the dose several times but I still do not feel that it has made me feel totally better."


"Worked perfectly after drinking 4 Liters (10oz every 15 minutes) 2 liters the night before and 2 liters the day of, finishing 3 hours before the procedure. No side effects at all.
 I suggest "chasing" with white cranberry juice. This prevented any after taste and possible nausea. Taste is the only reason I gave it a nine but it really wasn%u2019t bad when chilled. Note that if you let the liquid get really cold you won%u2019t be able to drink it fast."


"Started taking Adipex March 28, 2012 not on Sundays and had the flu for two days which I didn't take the pills either. I am a 6 ft 2 in male who starting weight was 289lbs on 3/28/2012. Today is now 4/23/2012 and my weight is now 274.6 lbs! I do exercise but I could not lose any weight. I am very pleased with my loss and I simply started tracking the things I eat and making better choices. You can do it just drink plenty of water and or juices and you will be fine. Good luck"


"I have been on this birth control for almost 4 weeks and I have experienced some side effects such as weight gain. I noticed that my breasts are VERY tender but they have gotten bigger. My hair does grow back faster also. I shave my arms so after one day I would feel stubble. Before I was on the pill I would have at least 3 days before I would feel stubble. I took the pill to get my period regulated but I haven't got my period this month. My doctor said sometimes you wont get your period for at least six months if you are on the pill. I have also had some mood swings but not severe."


"I first started taking Elavil when I was 21 in 1983, and met my present day neurologist after being hospitalized with a severe migraine that didn't go away. He started me on 10mg, and over the years he has increased the dosage to 200mg a day. For it helps me with migraines and also with my depression for which I suffer from, as a result of my migraines.  The only side effect I suffer from is drowsiness and that is why I take it at night for it puts me to sleep.
                                              "


"I just got this inserted yesterday, and wow after reading a lot of these reviews I almost didn't go to my appointment. It was not bad at all. I never get cramps during my periods so I didn't know what I was expecting. I also got my finger pricked and to me that hurt more than the insertion! During the procedure I just felt pressure on my stomach and it felt like I was about to go to the bathroom. After everything was done they gave me a panty liner just in case I bled. I went home and just had a small stomach ache. I have had no spotting whatsoever. I worked out perfectly today and walked my puppy out yesterday :) I'm honestly so surprised that I have no pain or no side effects yet. I'll keep updating!"


"Have now taken Harvoni for 32 days & had some fatigue the 1st two weeks. Now I have no side effects at all."


"Pros: very light to practically no bleeding, period only lasts 1 or 2 days, not pregnant (the main goal), clear skin (at first), breasts grow.
Cons: decrease in sex drive, tender breasts, lack of energy, blurred vision (like how your eyes are first thing when you wake up in the morning), weight gain, hot flashes at night, breasts growing (I am already a big girl with DD breasts)...less is more, the clear skin I had in the beginning is now not so clear. I started on the pill for 2 reasons. 1.) because I wanted to prevent pregnancy and 2.) because I had constant HEAVY bleeding.  It would go on for months without a break and this pill has made it so that I barely bleed at all."


"I read the reviews before my Skyla insertion and I wish I wouldn't have! It gave me so much unnecessary anxiety. I took 4 Ibuprofen beforehand and felt no pain at all, if anything it was uncomfortable. The whole thing was over in 2-3 minutes and I had almost no cramping. I kept up on my Ibuprofen every 3-4 hours and had some bleeding/spotting the day of, but overall I felt great. I even went out for lunch immediately after my appointment. Everyone's body reacts differently and in the end I'm happy with my decision!"


"I give Pristiq an 8 for effectiveness in treating depression, however I would give it a 10 for effectiveness as an anti-depressant because I believe it gives as much as you can ask for. It has also scored highest in the top 10 treatments for depression according to a recent Australian survey. I am 18 years old, male and this is the first anti-depressant I have taken. In short, It brought me out of hell and out of a depth of despair, sadness and pessimism one naive to depression couldn't possibly imagine. It took about 3 and a half weeks to work well (I'm on 50mg), has a stimulating effect but causes sexual side effects."


"Very helpful in falling and staying asleep."


"I've been on this pill for a month, and so far I have no major complaints. I previously tried Sprintec and after 3 days I realized it was causing semi-severe panic attacks. However Junel FE has not affected me negatively in any way (that I know of) and I'm not pregnant so I'd say it's pretty effective. The only small nuisance I've experienced is some breakthrough bleeding since I skipped the placebo week, but that's not uncommon."

"Other prenatal vitamins made me sick to my stomach, this one does NOT. Such a relief and there aren't any funny after tastes either."


"This drug started working but gave me the worst case of diarrhea.  Very hard on the gastrointestinal tract."


"Before, just the thought of trying to quit smoking stressed me more than it was worth but for my family I still wanted to try again.  When I started taking Chantix I told myself that I was not setting a quit date, that I would just see how it went. I only took the morning dose to try to prevent the possible sleeping problems.  The cigarettes started tasting bad to me almost immediately but I was too stubborn to let that stop me.  After two weeks I just started cutting back gradually trying to break up my smoking routine a little, by the end of week three I didn't need them anymore at all.  I did experience nausea but none at all if I ate before I took it.  I'm smoke free and my kids are thrilled."


"I've been on this for almost two months now and in my short experience it has done wonders.  My old periods would cause severe cramps, nausea, vomiting, periods lasting up to 16 days, and horrible mood swings.  For roughly the two weeks around my period I was so sad and honestly thought there was something wrong with me.  But now my periods (so far) are short, almost painless, and no vomiting.  My mood swings have toned down so much I forgot what it was like to be this calm.  The only issue I find is I have gained fat (but not weight??) as I've eaten more so that really is my own fault.  And I have very tender, dense, sore breasts that I can't sleep on my stomach anymore.  But this definitely isn't as bad as how I used to be so very good!"


"The reason this shot is such an effective form a birth control is because it keeps you from sex. THAT'S RIGHT! The bleeding is so on and off that it's kept me completely abstinent! At first I thought this shot was the bomb, but seriously? I keep telling myself my body will adjust but I feel like I'm constantly on my period. It's messed up"


"I just want to know how long people are on the periods for  with nexplanon in the arm"


"Lexapro is good it has really helped to calm me down. The first few days have been tough I have been nauseated, I have lost my appetite, I'm restless, but overall it really is making a difference and I have only been on it a few days. It hasn't helped my depression yet, but I have been told it takes a while."


"Much better with the SR but it still needed
to be coupled with another med"


"On my second day.I have had no issues.Insertion was way less uncomfortable than I expected.No pain or discomfort so far."


"Definitely takes away my hunger."


"I had a build up of fluid in my uterus from previous surgery (oblasion of the uterus). I went to the emergency room doubled over in the most extreme abdominal pain I had ever had in my life.  They gave me a shot of Toradol and within 20 minutes the pain subsided and was back to normal.  "


"This is horrible stuff! I did the gradual dosage-increase starter pack. It was somewhat effective early on, but then it turned bad. I started to have vivid lucid dreams. Kinda cool, but some were quite unpleasant. During the 40mg stage, I involutarily jizzed my pants while at work! How unsettling! I ran out of Viibryd accidentally & went a day without it. BAD brain zaps came in waves, I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. That part was terrible! I drove to my doctor & immed asked to go back to my former medication. They ordered that to be refilled, but I couldn't wait the few hours. I had intense malaise & I was super itchy all over like a crackhead. I practically begged for one last Viibryd. The withdrawl was bad! Potent stuff."


"I have been on Wellbutrin XL for a little over a year, and it has dramatically improved my quality of life. I have struggled with depression for almost my entire life, and only recently sought out treatment, and WOW, what a difference! Wellbutrin didn't cause any weight gain - if anything I lost some weight - and it didn't decrease my sex drive. It took about a month for it to kick in, but it was well worth it."


"My doctor switched me from MS Cotin 10 mg 3 times a day to Embeda 50-2mg 2 times a day.  I am in continous pain now.  It is not working for me.  I have only been taking it for 3 weeks now and I don't know if it takes awhile to for my body to accept the change or what.  I go to the doctor next week and I'll see what he says about it."


"Was prescribed this for depression. It's worked very effectively for that and it's helped me so much more in other areas in my life. I've been on it since 2011. It's helped me quit smoking 7 times now. It has also helped me with my ADHD symptoms. I am gaining weight but that's due to my antipsychotic. I have schizophrenia. This has been a great mood enhancer and has helped me so much. I started on 150mg for a month and was on 300mg for 5 years. I guess my body built up a tolerance and last year I was having extra depressive episodes. My psychiatrist upped this to 450mg (max dose) and added trintellix and my depression is back under control. That's the only reason I am giving it a 9/10. It has been truly helpful from the first day."


"This medicine is a god send. I have 3 herniated disks in my back and sometimes can not get out  of bed. Thanks to this medicine, I can have a good quality of life and do the things I need to do. It has helped me tremendously!"


"Zoloft was great for controlling my depression, anxiety and obsessive thinking. The side effects were not terrible, all but one of them went away in about a month. The ones that only lasted through the first month were: feeling tired and drained as well as an occasional but mild headache, however, the only long lasting side effect was decreased sex drive, which unfortunately never subsided for me, (the drive is still there, it just isn't as intense) This is a great medicine for depression, anxiety and obsessive thoughts, if you haven't tried it, please do."


"Week after hookup found out I had Chlamydia when my pee started burning and constantly discharging a white puss. Was prescribed this medication as a single dose took on a Sunday afternoon minor stomach grumbling, then an unpleasant headache at night which felt like intense pressure/fever and put me to sleep. Woke up next day headache was gone and by end of day started to notice improvement in burning while peeing. By day 3 discharge was much more infrequent and burning pee was almost gone no where near as intense. By Friday which was day 6 burning pee was gone and no discharge at all, life was back to normal lol. Never had any diarrhea or uncontrollable stomach pain just little nauseated first 24 hours. Very effective med for me"


"I have had this implant for 2 1/2 years! It has never failed me. It's awesome that I don't have to try and remember to take a pill, or change a patch and so on. I have tried almost every single kind of birth control out there. This is by far the best.
HOWEVER...depending on your body (if you are anything like me) it can also have its negative side.
I often will go two months WITH my period. Sometimes it is so painful and I can't even stand up. Also, the have become heavier. After about 6 months I started to notice that they really were much much heavier and very unpredictable. It's a 50/50 with this implant. Take the good with the bad I guess."


"I had my first outbreak over a year ago, been taking 400mg a day and haven't had an outbreak since."


"Cleared up my rashes fast and easy. Didn't irritate my skin. Best thing I've tried!"


"My doctor told me that this was the smartest and safest option especially for teens (lower hormone dosage) she even has one herself. She did say the placement would be painful so she prescribed me one 5 mg pill of Valium to take an hour before and told me to take 800 mg of ibuprofen with the Valium. I got there feeling very relaxed and I also think it made the entire process a lot less awkward, usually I would have found both the position in front of the doctor very weird, let alone an assistant she needed to come in halfway through that said "nice to meet you" haha a great time to meet someone. The whole thing took about 10 minutes and really didn't hurt, I give credit to the meds, I got some cramps once they hit my cervix and some after."


"I would hide at home for months, shaking when a telephone rang. I couldn't let people go and had obsessive thoughts. Abilify gave me calm, confidence and hope. It made me less sensitive to light and time, I was no longer at the mercy of each passing moment. I woke up relaxed, went to bed without a noise in my head, inner voices stopped criticizing me, thoughts didn't race. I was creative but focused, and began wonderful new projects. Had NO side effects- NO weight gain. 'Worked magic that first day. But after a month it seemed to do nothing but make me sad. Evidently that was a manic phase. It blocks my mania, but not my depressive switch. Feels like I've traded manic depression for unipolar depression. I am being switched to lithium."


"Overall, it has been the best anti-emetic available for chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. The downfall is gastric slowdown-- which can become more pronounced if on vinca alkaloid chemo or opioids."


"I was on Wellbutrin, Prozac and Zoloft (trying each per my doctors orders, waiting about 6 weeks, repeat with next) for anxiety.  I stopped even trying "instant" anti-anxiety drugs (Xanax, Valium) years ago because they "zombified" me too much.

Cymbalta is AMAZING.  After about 2 weeks the side effects disappeared entirely.  I can concentrate better, I sleep VERY soundly, and no panic attacks!

For those having insomnia issues... some people here say take it at night.  I had exactly the OPPOSITE experience.  Taking Cymbalta at night/dinner time would make sleep nearly impossible/restless.  Taking it first thing in the morning I get a little tired in the afternoon, but nothing a latte won't fix.  I sleep like a BABY now;  which I haven't done ever."


"I have not had a period from the first shot. I had ZERO side effects and lost 5 lbs. I think it is an amazing product."


"I have been on Cymbalta for a while and my doctor kept upping my dose because I was seeing no difference in my moods. After being on 90mg daily for weeks and feeling nauseated most of it and still no difference, my doctor took me off of it."


"I have taken Prilosec for over 15yrs. It works great for the heartburn/reflux/gerd. But let me tell you what it took away from me! It dropped my iron and my iron stores to the bottom, it also took my B12 to the bottom. It also after years of taking it gave me anxiety, cramping of muscles and lead to my potassium being low as well. Then most recently I kept having a horrible burning in my stomach, well guess what Prilosec gave me most of all! A stomach full of gastric polyps!! So now I have weaned myself off this horrible medicine cause gastric polyps are a side effect of it and no one tells you! And if you keep taking it , well guess what it makes even more in your stomach once it starts!! So I weaned myself off it, took over a month"


"I have been using Uloric 40mg 1 x a day for just about 3 months. It has been working very well, but I was off it for two days and pain started up quickly again in my toe and hand joints. Went back on it and is working again. Colchicine works but the diarrhea is terrible. Also my uric acid level was just above 7.0 at start but now is very low and normal."


"I've been having bladder botox injections for 12 years at Hospital I have had urge double incontinence for about 15 years, caused by Multiple Sclerosis (primary progressive). I am nearly 70. I was tried on different treatments for about 3 years. Nothing worked. I had to wear thicker and thicker incontinence pads (very embarrassing)! Eventually, I was given Flexible Cystoscopy and Botox. Has to be done every 9 months, first it was with (20 injections), later increased to (30 inj's). It was worth every jab! Takes about 15 minutes under local. They always do FC and test your urine first. Discomfort during procedure and sore for a few days. No other side effects. Time to find a loo, and dry pants."


"I have been suffering from panic attacks since 2008. One day I was just chatting on the phone with a friend when out of nowhere I felt like there was an elephant sit on my chest, meaning to say that i was experiencing chest tightness. Then I started breathing faster and I didn't know then what I know now, that that fast breathing is called hyperventilation. Then that symptom led to my heart beat going faster and then that led to me feeling like i was losing control and I had to have a friend take me to the ER which was down the street but it felt like it took me hours to get there. Time really slows down during these attacks, and life just seems so unbearable. Anyway, doc put me on .05mg Klonopin in 2008 and it has worked wonders since."


"This medicine has been amazing for me.  I was unable to sleep on my right side for the last 5 years due to pain, and now I can, with almost no pain.  The only down sides are that it causes extreme "dry mouth" for me (which gets worse when I am nervous) and constipated.  But it is worth it for the pain relief I am getting."


"I have tried the patch and it did help decrease overactive bladder, however, my skin is red, swollen, burning, and itching wherever I tried the patch. Even after 7 days off  on 3 different patch sites, my skin hasn't healed yet. If this comes in an oral form which I think it does, I may try that."


"Am new to taking this drug...am very nervous about it and keep staring at the packet..
My husband and I had been trying for 4yrs to get pregnant and nothing g seemed to work. We have a 8 and 5 yr old already all done the natural way..
So we were stuck to why we couldn't this time round so off we go to the docs and they give me clomid to try.  Before we started I got pregnant Dec 2013 which was amazing feeling. In may 2014 my baby girl came into the world at 26wks and passed away two days later..
My periods have been all over the place since so have been given tablets again.
I think I'm ready and my brain is saying it's now or never...by reading all ur stories it works....
If anything were to happen I couldn't cope again...
We so want a baby."


"Great stuff. NoDoz really does work. Better than most stuff I've tried. Would definitely recommend."


"Zoloft saved my life. It's been like waking up from a life-long nightmare. A lifetime of panic attacks, stress, and anxiety warped my perception of what 'normal' was.

I still feel normal stress and anxiety, but only that which stems from rational causes (car broke down, lost job, etc). There's no feeling quite like feeling in control of your life and your self again."


"I've had acne for about 12 years now since I'm 13 years old.  I have tried different things including Proactive and Acne Free along with some other prescription medications. Nothing ever cleared it 100 percent. I have been using Differin gel 0.03% for a little over two weeks now. At first my face was dry and broke out worse then normal. The last few days my face has gotten better, I have about 5 blemishes rather then 12 large cysts that I would normally have. I am hoping that the rest clear up soon. I notice my acne scars have gotten better looking as well since using Differin. I am super excited to see the coming weeks progress."


"I have suffered with sciatica for 3 years and now have pain in my right foot along the arch. I took this medication when I was first diagnosed and it did nothing to relieve the pain. I decided to give it another shot last week because of the foot pain and it started helping right away with both issues. The only problem I have is I am bloated and feel like I have gained 10lbs! This is a huge bummer since I am also on a weight loss plan! But I will keep taking it for now."


"I've been on many different birth controls and this has to be the worst. I started about 2 months ago and I've been bleeding ever since. I've been bloated, my appetite has increased however I've managed to keep it down, and I've been moody. I hate it!"


"Was put on this after I went to the psych ward for suicidal thoughts and general depression.  Before this I was on Prozac for 3 weeks, stopped taking it due to increased anxiety and extreme binge eating that I never had before. After that my doc switched me to 20 mg Celexa. Took that on and off for over a year... it helped slightly with anxiety but quickly became as effective as taking sugar pills. I started on the generic SR, 2 a day and with that I had slight ringing in the ears, some random panicky feelings. But my mood had improved tremendously, plus my sex drive went way up after just 1 day! My appetite control is great. On 300 mg XL generic now and side effects are subsiding. Had worries about seizures but that's rare. 0.3% incidence."


"Very expensive 700dls"


"I am a 64 year old female.  I have been on antidepressants since I was 13.  I have been diagnosed with PTSD, Bi-polar and major depressive disorder.  I felt most normal while taking Prozac, however, during the past ten years, I lost both parents, made a major move, and my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.  The Prozac just didn't seem to be working.  My physician switched me to Wellbutrin,  and then to Cymbalta...the Cymbalta and my stomach didn't hit it off, so she put me on Brintellix.  I am very pleased with this medication.  I do have nausea, so I try to eat something before I take it.  I seem to be hot all of the time, some itching, and I have had a significant weight gain! Which is not listed as a side effect."


"I am taking Prednisone for Fibromyalgia (20mg twice a week) together with 60mg of Cymbalta (once a day) and have been 98% pain free for nearly a year."


"5.5 yrs on this miracle"


"I have been taking the generic Tenormin (atenenol) for probably 32 years now.  25 mg.  I take it at night.  Never had a problem, EXCEPT when I could not see my doctor and had to see someone else in the practice.  He thought I should get off the drug; said there were new better things.  He took me off it and I was going on vacation the next day or so.  Worse vacation ever.  I thought I was dying.  My heart was pounding.  I thought I would die up in the mountains.  Got back on Atenol when I got back home.  Everything was normal.  If I accidently miss a day or so, I can tell the difference.  I don't know about all the side effects other people have had, but it works great for me."


"I have been taking Zarah for almost 3 months. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and working on getting healthier to try and have a child. When I first took Zarah I got these major headaches at first and tender breast but after three weeks the headaches went away. I haven't had my period in a little over a year because of my PCOS so when I got my first one it was painful but since than they have been easier. My skin looks great and haven't gained any weight. I still have tender breast but part due to my PCOS. I'd recommend it if you can bare with the first two or three weeks. It has been better than others I've tried. Also no mood swings either."


"An absolute nightmare. Within 24 hours of starting the drug I had the worst, WORST stomach cramping and flu-like symptoms including back and neck stiffness, nausea, and a terrible headache. It made me constipated the first two days and on the third I had diarrhea. I made it into the 4th day of treatment and called my doctor to say I couldn't take it any longer. She said my BV may have cleared by that point and it had, luckily. After stopping treatment it took another 2 days to feel human again. I will NEVER take this drug again. If you have to, you'd better have a job that will allow you to work from home for the entire course of treatment. Again, a nightmare."


"Been on Zoloft for about 3 weeks. Gradually upped dosage. Feel better, just can't ejaculate. Hopefully this will change as my body adapts to the drug."


"I only have negative reviews for this drug. Avoid !!!! I started with a milder antibiotic finished the course but it relapsed with sinus & chest infection and so I was put on biaxin. My sinus took a month to go but the side effects I could not tolerate were - loss of sleep (NO SLEEP) , no appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, feeling depressed and emotional outbursts. I'm a very happy person & always around people but this medicine made me go into a shell. It took a lot of effort of my friends & family to get me back to my normal state of mind."


"I had Mirena for a year. Insertion was a small pinch and not bad at all. I spotted the whole time I had it in, experienced more headaches, lower back aches and cramping. The spotting wasn't really a lot but I always had to wear a liner. My sex drive was low and I would get panic attacks and have horrible mood swings. I also gained like 15 lbs.  I had it taken out today so I am hoping I feel better. My husband is happy I am getting it out, he said I just wasn't the same with it."


"I have been on Accutane more than once. In Canada my sister has been taking it in low dose for years - rules are different there. I take B to Zinc vitamins to maintain my health while on Accutane. Watch what you're eating too. Lots of stuff contains added Vitamin A - some milk, cereals, etc. That may be the cause for some bad side effects in some people. They may be boosting the strength of their Accutane by eating added Vitamin A in their diets."


"I've gotten Kyleena two days ago and so far I couldn't be happier. Inserting was painful but only for a very short moment - I've expected it far worse from reading some reviews! My doctor gave me painkillers about an hour before and I took another one after the procedure, as I was prepared for heavy cramps. I've had some cramps the afternoon right after inserting, but not more than during my period. They stopped in the evening and so far I am feeling perfectly fine, I hope this lasts and I will definitely update!
Before I've had the nuva ring for about 5 years, with that I lost my sex drive and its pretty pricey, thats why I am switching."


"Astepro has been a blessing to me. I have been a long time allergy sufferer. An ENT suggested regular dose of Allegra, Fluconase and Singular, plus I started allergy drops to begin building my immunity. This medicine regime seemed to bring everything more under control, except I began having a terrible cough it was more than a year and I finally told him I needed to do something about it. I had previously tested negative for asthma, but we tried an inhaler and Astepro (instead of the other nose spray). Wow, instant relief from the regular coughing due to the Astepro, the inhaler seemly offers nothing. I recommend this for coughing from post nasal or other allergy problems."


"Worked beautifully in reducing my BP from 190/104 down to normotensive readings of 120/72. However, as with the other meds that were tried, I had intolerable side effects like GERD, abdominal bloating and malaise. My

internal med PA-C changed me to Losartan

(since the ARB class of drug relieved my hypertension) but this time without the HCT diuretic, and the results have been wonderful. Same BP effect without the high cost (luckily we trialed the Benicar HCT with professional free samples!), side effects, or need to excessively hydrate to balance the diuretic."


"Day 8 of taking this for just another sinus infection. Have had horrible, HORRIBLE side effects. My body felt extremely strange, tingly almost. Nausea has been so bad I had to take a pregnancy test to eliminate that possibility. I did vomit today for the first time in years after a whiff of cleaning products. The infection has improved but if you have a sensitive stomach - I don't advise. I did notice improvement (on nausea) on days I consistently chugged water (emphasis on chugged) and took the dose while eating."


"Mostly prescribed for high blood pressure, but I use it for pedal edema. It works great and it does have two diuretics in it which makes it better than just one diuretic."


"I've been taking Zoloft for about 3 months. I've felt very little side effects, all of which I did experience was tiredness but other than that I went from a emotionless zombie to feeling great all day long."


"I can't believe all the great ratings for this. Maybe my skin is just extremely sensitive, but this was the most painful injection I've ever had in my entire life. I choose though over belly, and I actually screamed so loudly I'm sure I scared everyone in the reception area. I was not at all prepared for it to hurt as much as it did. The unexpected sharp pain only made my headache worse, and even paired with a shot of Demerol my headache did not clear."


"I have recently finished a 9 month course of Roaccutane one month ago and will be beginning to use this cream (0.5%) to maintain my skin and help with marks left behind from pimples. To all the people that say tretinoin breaks you out, either in pill or cream form, that is its process. You can not use it for 1 week, see pimples and stop, it is not making your skin worse, it is getting anything under neath the surface of your face out to eventually clear it, that is what you want. I had an initial breakout for 3 months, everything pimple and gunk in my face came to the surface and eventually all went away. You need to have patience with your skin. It works, just not over night."


"I was diagnosed with GAD about four months ago, and I started taking 25mg of Zoloft daily. It works wonders!! I'm more calm and able to do things that I used to."


"I got kyleena inserted last week and just like everybody says it was painful but only for about 30 seconds it feels like a very strong period cramp nothing too bad. I also got it inserted on the 3rd day of my period (my periods usually last 5 days) and the IUD ended my period early actually the same exact day. I didn't have any spotting until 4 days later and minimal cramping nothing to bad. The first day was the most most uncomfortable day but after that I felt fine. So far I definitely recommend it, this is my first type of birth control and I just didn't want to take a pill everyday because I know I would forget about it and the IUD is a lot more effective. I will update my experience but it's not as scary as it seems like it would be."


"I've been taking Atripla from my diagnosis in 02/07 & it's not let me down yet. The only side effect that I seem to have is that it makes me a bit drowsy. I found that it's best taken at bedtime. From what I have seen here I'm 1 of the lucky 1's by being able to take just 1 pill a day versus a cocktail of pills."


"Hands down the very best way to end the day. Not only is it the only sleeping pill that worked for me of the dozens of OTC and prescribed sleep aids, it felt really good. No matter how bad my day was, 20 minutes after I took the ambien I'd always have a smile and laugh my ass off to Saturday Night Live episodes on Hulu before getting the best and consistent sleep ever. Sure, my first couple times I had a hangover effect, but the next year I was on ambien I ALWAYS felt refreshed the next morning."


"After being on numerous medications over the years, my doctor decided to try me on Pristiq. I started on 50 mg once daily and took it for about a month. I had headaches almost daily within that time and it increased my blood pressure, I felt like it wasn't making any changes in my mood or anxiety. Around the 6th week everything went downhill. Fits of crying and rage, anxiety came back worse than before, I had the worst migraines I'd ever experienced, diarrhea no matter what I ate or drank, severe abdominal pain, and also chills pretty much all of the time. I called my doctor right away because I was becoming very scary and feeling awful. Definitely not a medicine for me!"


"I tried Savella on the regular sample pack, which apparently progressed much too quickly for my body. I had horrible sweating, mental fog and freezing hands and feet. It was the oddest combination of side effects that rendered me completely nonfunctional. I tapered off the drug because of the terrible side effects, but when I went to see my doctor, he suggested I try again -- but much more slowly. I dread the side effects, but would like something that will make me feel normal eventually."


"Rexulti has been a life changer! I'm on 1mg. I know that's not a lot, but it's worked so well for me. Way less depressed mood than usual. I have Bipolar Type II. This was an add on to Trileptal and it's really been amazing for me. Would definitely recommend to others :)"


"I started using Symbicort and after the very first dose I noticed I didn't have any breathing problems.  Before Symbicort, I was using my albuterol inhaler 4  times per day.  After Symbicort, I have not used it, although I carry it for emergencies.

"


"Hey everybody! Just wanted to say that this pill does work !! I took it 2 days before I was expected to ovulate and worried myself sick for the next week and a half. I experieced most of the side effects that were listed a few days after I took the pill. Got my period three days eariler than my expected day; finally! Please try not to stress too much over this , I have heard that Plan B is 95% effective if taken within the first 24 hours!"


"I have been on Effexor for over a year and my dosage has been 37.5mg daily. The drug has worked wonders for me but I have had some side effects of sweating, strange dreams and dizziness when I forget to take it.

"


"I have been on and off of Mononessa for about a good year now. I have always had a problem with heavy bleeding, cramps and blood clots every time I've had my monthly cycle. I told my doctor and she suggested I take Mononessa. For the first week or so it made me feel terrible, headaches, nausea, Lightheaded, the works. I wanted to stop taking it but due to my heavy bleeding I knew this was better then having to change pads every five times a day. It stopped my period for about a good 6 months(which I still don't understand, is that normal) and then my period would just come back on its own and stay only for about a week. I went off the Mononessa but now back on due to being on my period for almost two months now. Make it stop! :("


"This pill has been absolutely amazing. I can truly say that I have had no problems with it. It definitely does it job and does it well. My oily skin has cleared and I have actually lost weight ! I am eating less and it's great. I would definitely recommend this oral contraception for anyone who gas had it rough with other pills.! I do get my period every month so I am thinking about switching to one that I won't get it but other than that I love this pill!"


"I have been on daily birth control for about 10 years.  Recently my doctor told me that Ocella (my previous BC) was known to cause blood clots in women like me under 35, and she recommended switching.  She put me on Lo Loestrin Fe about three months ago.  I've now had a headache for almost 6 weeks straight, most days are so bad that I have to take Excedrin or Ibuprofen, I'm anxious most of the time, not sleeping well - and now it's gotten to the point where my coworkers and family are noticing.  So I went to my primary care physician worried that I was depressed and he said I need to get off of this BC and try something new.  In general, I'm just really disappointed.  I've read a lot of reviews that people do well on Lo Lo, but not me!"


"After benzoyl peroxide made my skin worse, I was prescribed differin cream 0.1%. Results were slow at first but with maintaining a good skincare routine and healthy diet my skin showed huge improvements after about 2-3 months of use. Little side effects, some dryness but as to be expected with any acne product and easily resolved with moisturiser. Felt a lot less harsh on my skin than benzoyl peroxide. I am left with some spots and scarring but the effects have been overall brilliant. Would reccommend sticking with it for a few months to see best results!"


"I was prescribed metronidazole for a bv infection I did t even know I had. After taking 4 days worth I developed the most awful allergic reaction to it. An intensely itchy burning rash from head to toe, aching and flu like symptoms. The medication was stopped and although the rash for the most part has calmed down after day 3 of stopping my feet are still intensely itchy and I am experiencing numbness all over my body. When will this nightmare end!"


"I am suspicious of all these posts praising Zyban. I believe they're fake and paid for by Glaxo. This is not the place to tell my whole story but I will say this. This drug is a poison and it robbed me of over 10 years of my life. You do know it's BANNED in Europe. The most horrific experience of my life and I only took 3 pills! Beware. Beware. Beware. I think this is an  toxic drug. DON'T TAKE IT."


"This medicine helped my problem - 2 herniated discs and a pinched nerve, but it gave me really bad stomach ache had to stop it right away."


"Have been on metformin 2.5g, glimepride 4mg, Januvia 100mg reading now 6.3 3 months on Januvia for 12 months. No weight gain, no side effects. Was on Actos, gained 4kg, had hypos readings above 7. 3 months all the time, less hunger pain no hypos, best readings in 3 years."


"I started taking this a week ago and since then get very little sleep. I take ambian and Valium at night and it has proved ineffective so for. I'm hoping this is one of those side effects that go with time. It's hard to function when you're awake every two hours."


"I've had paragard for over 6 years. No issues at all. My periods last a little bit longer.

Grateful for a hormone free birth control!!!"


"I'm currently on Saphris, I just starting working for the first time in 3 years.  Ive been on Saphris about 10 months.  2 days ago I woke up and had white canker sores in my mouth, tingling lips.  This drug is so great,  can take it and wake up 6 hours later and not feel tired all day."


"Once you find a good site it is relatively painless. Almost no severe reactions yet. I can't handle  IVIG very well so this is it for me."


"My 7 year old son was recently diagnosed as ADHD and I was really hesitant to put him on medicines but when I took him to the doctor she said yes no doubt he had ADHD so they put him on Vyvanse at 30 mg. The first day and I was ready to cry myself. It was like he had eaten a whole gallon of ice cream he could not stop talking and did not sleep the first 2 nights, but I am really happy with the outcome. He is so much better. I can hear my thoughts now so I am a believer in the medicines it worked for him."


"Constipation & sedation...but great pain relief"


"Cimzia worked the best and fastest for my RA. I was on Simponi & Enbrel before but they stopped working after a few months and took some time to kick in. The only thing is that all these biologics make my psoriasis come back for some reason. Also, I've been having hive-like reactions on my mouth and cheeks almost daily for the past 2 months."


"I was in the hospital a year and a half ago for heat exhaustion and rhabdomylosis.  The pain from my muscle deterioration was the worst of my life.  My doctor gave me Dilaudid. It definitely helped with the pain and made the most pleasant side effect of eliminating the addiction pangs from smoking. I had previously tried every other method that I could think of to quit. None worked for me.  After 4 days I was released and haven't smoked since. I think 4 days of hospital confinement with regular dosage of Dilaudid could help a lot of people quit smoking."


"I had sex with my boyfriend and he came inside me for the first in 6 years and we are certainly not ready for a baby. I bought the original plan b pill years ago and it worked just as it said. I did get my period again after.. I was very surprised.
 But this time around I am nervous. I got off my period the day he came inside me. I'm scared to have my period again when I just got off it ... and to start a new pack of my birth control this week.  I hope everything will be okay.... staying positive... I've never used this brand and never taken it RIGHT AFTER my cycle"


"didn't work at all,took 20 mg"


"Recently I had a rough bout with anxiety.  From out of nowhere I just lost faith in myself due to some life circumstances and an overload of work. I was losing sleep and spiraling downward at an amazing rate.  I decided to talk to my doctor who prescribed Klonopin.  With the first dose I felt immediate relief and to avoid dependency I only took 0.25 mg at night until I was started on an SSRI. My doctor favored the SSRI approach as better in the long run. After three months on Klonopin every day, and after the SSRI kicked in, I stepped off the Klonopin without any withdrawals like you read about on the internet. I think the key is to take the lowest dose you can or only as prescribed. The medicine worked wonders for me!"


"I'm going on my second year of this implant and it had been great up until now. I've gained weight but I know that with all birth control that weight gain is expected. The problem I'm facing now is I have been spotting for about a month now and it hasn't been red-it's been a brown, rust color (sorry to go into details, but maybe I'm not the only one). I have had this problem since I've had the implant put in. It's a great method of birth control but the side effects are annoying!"


"Great medicine for daily migraines.  Works really well with Zanaflex."


"Have been using for over two years after several episodes of prednisone. Have been almost completely free of symptoms and have no obvious side effects. I only use the bathroom once a day and stools are generally well formed. No diarrhea at all. Can eat and drink normally (including roughage)  but did have some pain after eating too much corn on the cob."


"I'm 32 and I've had the Paragrad for 6 years now. I got it after having my daughter at 26. It was recommended to me due to blood clotting issues and hormones. I went in to see my GYN and it took about 5 minutes. It was inserted 6 weeks after having my baby. It didn't hurt just felt like a pinch. It works GREAT! My husband and I love it! The heavy periods & spotting occasionally is worth it. Recently, I have experienced some back pains but it goes away and it doesn't happen often. I totally recommend it. #ThumsUp"


"I switched to nuvaring 4 yeas ago from orthotricyclen. I've had absolutely no side effects, and it's the easiest form of birth control I've ever taken. My periods are lighter is the only thing I've noticed. It's unfortunate that I'm seeing so many bad experiences on here - I honestly recommend it to all my girlfriends."


"I have more frequent bowel movements but not diarrhea. My total cholesterol fell from 365 to 174. My HDL only decreased minimally from 42 to 37. My most interesting side effect is that I have had a tremendous increase in libido. I'm on testosterone replacement and about 8 meds for my heart disease and had minimal to moderate sex drive for about 5 years. There have been no changes in my meds or anything else except for the addition of Praluent. I am a 65 year old male."


"Wish it was still available.  I miss being able to function like a 'normal' adult.  Dexedrine, Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Strattera, Wellbutrin - none of these worked.  some lessened appetite, some turned me into a zombie.  Cylert worked - yes some side effects, mainly tourettes-like, but in order to function normally?  I'll gladly cluck like a chicken randomly to concentrate (that was my side effect). Life without is  back to my reality - oh, look, a doorknob.  I wonder how it works?  I bet it's some sort of cam mechanism that operates via - oh, look, a wireless transceiver, I wonder if it is in the 2.4 Ghz spectrum or if it is -  oh look, a wireless mouse, I wonder if it operates via bluetooth or is on the same 2.4 Ghz spectrum as the - oh look......."


"I started taking this medication about a year after I'd been on bupropion with no lessening of depression.  After 6 months on oxcarbazepine minimum dosage I stopped drinking.  Had to increase dosage to 900 mg/day (I'm one who really doesn't like having to take medicines). I've been clean/sober for 18 months and tried to get off both medicines mentioned in a week.  Nearly relapsed so went back to former dosages.  Doctor suggested reducing dosage of bupropion over a year.  I decided to stay on full dosage unless I lose my job/insurance.  No more suicidal thoughts or that feeling like my brain is going down a dirt road.  I'm not sure I'd label myself bipolar, but this does seem to help, a lot."


"I have been on this medication for a week after switching from my old pill. I was getting more and more nauseous each day until I woke up on the 7th morning of taking it to horrible nausea and vomiting. I will not be continuing to take this pill."


"my doctor gave me adderall because i cant sit still long enough to concentrate and study and do productive things at work. He gave me 10mg to take twice a day but i didn't feel any effects from the drug. I decided to take 2 10mg at the same time and still nothing. I am so sad right now because all i want to do is concentrate and study and do my job with concentration. I was really excited to take these pill but now am dissapointed. I think I am one of those people who are resistant to stimulant medication"


"About 15 minutes after taking exactly the dose indicated, I fainted and cracked my head on the floor resulting in a brain hemorrhage!  Several tests were done in the hospital to rule out any other reason for fainting. The only conclusion is that I had a severe reaction to the ingredient in this cough medicine. Be careful!! Read all the reviews BEFORE taking this medicine!"


"I found Zyban to be very effective and easy to use. I only experienced a few mild side effects (slight constipation, food tasted a bit different).  But I'd tried quitting before using gum, microtabs, patches - and none of these worked for me.  Thanks to Zyban, it's been over four months since I smoked a cigarette and haven't turned back - proud to be a non-smoker!"


"This is the first birth control I have been on, and after hearing all the birth control horror stories that friends/family had, I'm happy to say that my experience with this pill so far has been a good one! The first month or two I did experience some acne and occasional nausea, as well as going from a B to C cup (a welcome change.) However none of the symptoms have been any worse than symptoms of a period. My period lightened soon after beginning the pill packs and I stopped getting my period alltogether about 6 months after starting the pills, which (my Obgyn told me early on) was to be expected. My insurance also completely covers this pill, so that's definitely a plus!"


"Invokana was a disaster for me!  First on Invokamet, also bad!  Had GI problems with Invokamet.  Dr, switched me to Invokana.  Worse GI problems.  Developed anal fissures from the diarrhea and constipation.  Now have yeast infection.  Back on Metformin and exercise.  Numbers are better!"


"I've been taking these for a week now and it's workingggggg. No more smell and less discharge . And normal discharge! Yussss. But the side affects suck. I'm constantly dizzy but it only lasts a few seconds at a time for me. Nausea doesn't really go away. Constant headache. Crap. BUT it worksssssss."


"I took one around 5pm and then at 2:30am I woke up to a burning sensation in my stomach. When I realized what was starting to happen and I almost had a panic attack because of all the reviews that I remembered. Seriously guys, what I went through was bad for a laxative it was like having the flu, but nowhere as bad as everyone claims it to be. For me it was only a couple hours and then I was able to sleep. Today my stomach feels a bit sensitive but I'm fine.  And it worked really well too, I didn't have diarrhea just a really easy to pass BM. If it hurt that much for some I think it's because they're way too constipated which could mean intestinal impaction. DO NOT take laxatives if you think it is, it can end really badly."


"I started Saxenda on March 24, 2017 after years of failed diet attempts. I was hopefuly when my doctor prescribed this medication. Initially, I felt fatigued and queasy but it was managable. After increasing to 1.2 mg I broke out in a itchy rash on my stomach (injection sites), and have uncontrollable diarrhea. If the diarrhea doesn't improve I'm not sure how I will continue to take the medication. On the plus side, I have lost about 6 lbs in almost 3 weeks.

Has anyone else experienced the diarrhea and if so, does it improve? I might decrease the dosage to 0.6 as I seemed to be fine on that amount."


"I prefer the initial pain of application than the pain in my spine, hip, and legs. Be careful going out in the sun, even the day after application some residual effects will be felt. Wear latex or plastic gloves when applying and wash your hands after applying. If you touch a part of your body that has capzasin on it, be sure to rewash your hands and DO NOT touch your eyes without washing your hands!"


"I just started my second round of Orthovisc.  The first round was administered by the surgeon and was tolerable.  I had my first shot of my second round last week by a Non Operative Orthopedist because the surgeons within this practice will no longer perform shots and this first shot was unbearable.  My knee is killing me so much worse than before the shot.  Not sure I will continue tomorrow for the second.  I have been bone on bone for 4 years and they refuse to operate because of other under lying orthopedic issues.  I really cannot say it was super beneficial the first time but wanted to give it another try being in severe pain.  I think it depends on the individual as everyone is different."


"After years of knowing something was wrong, I went to the doctor and he prescribed Cymbalta. I have been on it for 6 months.  I love it!  I will be married a year in October and my husband and I were already talking divorce until I started Cymbalta.  I did have VERY violent and 'goury' dreams when I took it right before bed.  Now I take it in the morning, my dreams are back to normal.  I am currently taking 60mg, but am going to request to take a lower dosage as I am now starting to experience headaches and nausea.  I feel like I am finally the person I always knew I was and not the bitter, angry, weepy person other people saw."


"I am a 28 year old female at 5'5" I weighed in at 277 lbs on 03/ 10/17 I have not had any severe side effects, dry mouth is all. Just drink lots of water. I exercise daily with interval training. I drink NOTHING but water and eat better. I keep my calories at about 1000 a day with 3 meals a day and a few snacks in between. I go back to see the Doc on 4/10/17 I cheated and stepped on the scale today and have lost a total of 21lbs at 256. You can do it! It is not a diet, it is a lifestyle change, if you don't change your habits you will gain all of it back and more. Can't wait to see what the next couple of months bring. Goal weight of 150lbs!"


"I am 19 years old and I've been on this birth control for almost 7 months. At first I would get the typical spotting through the pill package and I had horrible breakouts around my chin (I never got breakout, maybe 1-2 pimples before my period). I waited it out for the 3 months because my friends encouraged it. They were right for the most part. My acne did clear up and now my skin is just as clear as before, if not better. Yet, I get breakthrough bleeding..STILL. It scares me more than anything and for that I can't give this birth control a high rating. Isn't the birth control suppose to assure you that you are not pregnant? This birth control causes more stress than it does help."


"I suffer from chronic intractable migraines and fibromyalgia, and have a recent history of strokes.  I'm a long term pain management patient and my normal pain meds are OxyContin 15mg twice a day, with Oxy IR 15mg every four hours. Three weeks ago, I tripped in a parking lot and fractured  my shoulder. Because of my normal meds, my orthopedist put me on 4mg Dilaudid (tablets) every 4 hours (in place of the Oxy IR) because of the extreme pain of the fracture.  I have to say that I was surprised that it did not work at all. It did, however, make me violently ill with near constant vomiting and diarrhea. I have had dilaudid via IV many times, and never experienced these symptoms, and they resolved as soon as I stopped the oral dilaudid tablet."


"I have had Mirena for two weeks, and I have had no issues. I think that every Birth Control Method has its pros and cons."


"Took Tramadol for excruciating back pain. Worked marvelously for three weeks, pain 80% decreased, but affected my judgment as I saw events and people in an unrealistically positive way.  After 3 weeks, I started imagining blacks ghosts at night, got depressed and negative, my face felt like sunburned at night, nausea. Needless to say, I stopped taking the drug, withdrawal made the experience worse, I am back with pain waiting for surgery. BAD DRUG!"


"Miracle drug suffered for many years with depression and stress since prescribed I love a normal life again."


"Used this on my 6 year old daughters eczema and it worked very well.  She no longer carries on about itching, redness and stinging."


"I was taking 3mg per day at equal intervals.  I tried to stop completely, and the noise came roaring back. So, I went back on 3mg per day, and the noise is reduced by 50% or more, with minimal side effects so far."


"I decided to try this medication for anxiety after reading several studies indicating that hydroxyzine is roughly equal to benzodiazepines for anxiety relief.

I must say, I have been quite impressed by this medicine. It's just as strong as Xanax for me, but it doesn't make me forgetful. My quality of life has improved quite a bit since I started this medicine."


"Prior to my scheduled doctors appointment I developed an allergic reaction that caused my skin to itch & flare up. My doctor then prescribed this medication to me to help with the itching, rash, & my swollen glands. The first day of taking it I felt off. Earlier in the day I felt hot like I was experiencing a possible hot flash (I'm only 29) my face then became hot & red as though I had been out in the sun for too long. I felt light headed, dizzy, unbalanced. I just didn't feel like me. The next day, I didn't feel hot though I felt tired very very tired. I also felt hungry. I was on edge, I felt so anxious & irritable. I stopped taking it. I will be calling my doctors office tomorrow. I would rather have swollen glands & itchy skin."


"I have tried so many different pre natal vitamins and they have all made me feel ill one way or another.  This one has not made me sick since I have started taking them so its the best so far."


"I switched from the Nexplanon implant simply because I heard of a recall on it and I couldn't take the constant dizziness and headaches .I used orthro evra before and it was lovely but, this isn't at all. The first night, I felt like I couldn't sleep with that being said I was up for 3 days with absolutely no sleep, walking around like an insane person. Severe pain (hunger pangs) that I think contribute to the weight gain, nausea and breast pain. I took it off. I tried it again and the physical side effects have faded somewhat but depression anxiety and mood swings are back in my life 10x worse..."


"My skin is burning.  It has upper layer to peel off"


"My experience with Ella was a little intense. The night I took it my whole body ached, along with massive back and forth headaches with dizzyness and extremely tiredness and tummy aches. The next day my stomach and head hurt all day. And I was still extremely tired. These affects may not sound the greatest but it sure can be worth It. I started me period a week later."


"Started on 6.25 twice a day after heart attack. Developed bronchospasms and asthma in 3 days. Then had a severe blood sugar low of 35. No warning were given to me because I am type 2 diabetic and this a side effect!! Reduced dosage to 1.25 twice a day..."


"Finally some relief!! This is a hands down miracle drug for IBS. Not a 100% cure but I'd say it controls my symptoms 90% of the time which is outstanding."


"Used several years ago.  I was prescribed the fentanyl patch for 72 hrs (3) days.  Actiq was prescribed for breakthrough pain.  What a God-send!  Finally research supported that people have differing degrees of metabolism and my patch was changed to every 48 hours.  Still. fentanyl in patch for around the clock pain control WITH the Actiq Lollipop-type medication for "breakthrough" pain was a life savior.  I  was a mother of 3 boys with the severest form of neck, back and fibromylagia putting my pain level off the charts.  This med allowed me (after taking a dose of Actiq) to 1) go grocery shopping, 2)take, pick-up and volunteer for a whole hour, 3) cook dinner and go to church and lastly, 4)participate in activities lasting 1 hr."


"Going to have to decrease dosage (50mg 2x daily) or quit Lyrica due to loss of memory & confusion & jerking. Once could top out any IQ tests but my husband says I can't even find my "behind" anymore. Taking it for neuropathy & came home from complete knee surgery with foot drop in leg operated on. Now the other foot has dropped half way so I am all but an invalid. No more going outside for me to enjoy our horses on our farm. The dry mouth I got with Lyrica also frightens me as afraid I will lose my teeth as others have. Lyrica also causes severe sleepiness. I guess it MIGHT have stopped the shooting pains in my feet at night?"


"I am a 37yr woman diagnosed with ADHD. 1st try with Ritalin made me feel overwhelmed, sad, uncontrollable spurts of crying for no reason, tired. Dr. switched me to Straterra. It's only my fist week, but had to share. Ok, 1st the "bad": mild headache, SUPER DRY mouth, hot and sweaty, weird tingly sensation that comes in waves. Feels like my hair on my arms and head is crawling and tingly and cool for a few seconds and goes away. Clenching my jaw. No noticable improvement with racing thoughts or concentration as of yet. Now the "good": This pill should be called "Lady Viagra", lol! That cool, tingly, hair crawling sensation is AMAZING when being intimate. Everything is more intense and indescribably WONDERFUL...and I have been married 10yrs!"


"Much needed co-analgesic prescription for chronic pain."


"I am bipolar and have major depression issues and have been on tons of meds, to the point where I have felt like a pin cushion for these meds. Either they make me so tired I can't do nothing or they just don't work. I started taking Brintellix 3 months ago and I am on 10 mg a day. Side effects, whether I took it with food or not I would throw up almost every day ugh.....but on the up side it has made me feel like me again, not miserable and naggy looking at everything in a negative way! The nausea is still there sometimes in the morning but I will take it. So I can cope with everyday issues without freaking out and to be somewhat at peace with myself."


"I'm talking this after a few antipsychotics didn't work and I was hospitalized a few times for the first time in my life. My bipolar diagnosis changed to Schizoaffective disorder then Schizophrenia. The delusions paranoia was very scary. I was on 2 mg for awhile with Ativan and celexa, and I gained weight over the course of all the medicines, but it needed it, weight gain stopped when I stopped celexa. No paranoia. Now im taking 1  1/2 mg and have less anxiety, on a day I went back to 2 mg I had more. I still have anxiety and will ask my dr to increase my Ativan from 2 back to 3 mg, or lower my risperdal down to 1 mg a I am also on lithium and have hand tremors from that and risperdal, but feel stable it's so worth it. I'm staying on it"


"I was 288lbs when I started taking medicine, I am down to 265lbs. It really works and am still losing."


"I had two instance of DVT getting to my lungs. Almost killed me. I was on warfarin the first time for 6 months with no side effects. I have been taking xeralto 20 mg for about a month now. I am having insomnia, upset stomach, and occasional muscle cramping in calves and ankles. However, I do not have to go the doctor once a month to have blood tests and I do not have to manage my eating habits so closely. So far I am a fan, albeit a sleepy one."


"My husband was given this medication by our dermatologist 6 months ago and he was thrilled to have finally found an answer to his roseacea. The last 3 months have been a living HELL! His skin became bright red & looks almost purple. For weeks his face became crusty and was oozing fluid onto his pillow to the point where I was washing his pillow cases every day. We have been to a variety of specialists who say it's contact dermatitis. He has been on prednisone and antibiotics 3 different times and nothing is helping. For the first month he couldn't sleep because he was in such agony and only an ice pack gave him relief. I plan on calling the FDA hotline, which I found on the Mirvaso website."


"I found this site and comments of great interest.  My daughter had a shot earlier this year and complained of continuous bleeding (not spotting) feeling bloated, nausea, headaches, cramps and very depressed and emotional.  She went other doctor who has put her on antidepressants and pills to supposedly stop the bleeding a week on still bleeding.  My daughter is 24 and has changed from a lovely bubbly happy person into an ill zombie who sits on the sofa all day fatigued and in pain.  I certainly intend to seek legal advice."


"Great!"


"The Mirena is amazing! I got mine inserted during my 6 week check up after having my son! I've had it almost 3 years. I'm 23 years old with a super busy schedule, so I didn't want pills like I've had in the past, no time for them plus they made so sick. I wanted to try the Mirena to see if it was any different, and I'm so happy I did. It wasn't painful at all to insert. It was like getting a checkup. I started my period about 4 days after insertion and that lasted about a week and a half. After that I got my period every month but it was very light and lasted about 3 days. After about 6 months I got a period every 3 months. I was scared to get it reading all the bad reviews but I decided to do it anyway."


"Jittery and wide awake. But works great. Do not take before bed!"


"My husband had been an alcoholic for as long as he can remember.  He has completed and failed rehab 5 times over the years.  He lost many years with his children due to this problem.  His youngest is 11 and has been seeing him in a supervised visit 2 hours a week for over 7 years.  Thanks to campral he had lost the craving for alcohol.  Because of this medication he is able to enjoy life instead of stumbling his way into another blackout.  He has always said if they ever make a pill to stop drinking he would take it.  We are now on the road to getting shared custody with his son.  We thank the Lord above and the creator of campral every day for this incredible pill."


"Works great to help me sleep. It helps my RRS, but half-life is too short."


"Had really bad sinus infection that lead to bronchitis that stemmed from bad allergies due to a dry, dusty environment and a plane ride home.  Suffered for a week before heading to the doctor.  Was placed on Augmentin and after 1 day had immediate relief and wheezing was under control in my chest.  Wonder medication for infections!"


"At the age of 17 I started losing my hair.It became noticeable at age 20.Then I brought minoxidil 5%. In the first month the hair fall occurred but in next month hair regrowth took place.highly recommended."


"The first time I used Lyrica I experienced an amazingly profound reaction; layers of depression and anxiety that had built up over several years melted away within minutes. That was years ago and I have since both weaned myself off the drug and restarted taking it again. One thing I rarely see mentioned is the terrifyingly bad withdrawal effect- missing more than one dose for me throws me into the absolute darkest pits of despair. Has anyone else experienced this? When I went off the drug the first time I felt like I had performed a miracle; so strong was the feeling that it took a long time for me to convince myself that things were bad enough to warrant going back on. It still helps, but nothing as miraculous as the first time."


"I had extreme swelling at injection site, muscle , joint , nerve pain continuing and still there four months after injection. Very limited use and movement of the arm where injection was done. Inflammation caused plaque in arteries to break loose and clog arteries resulting in two stints having to be placed in heart. I still have pain in neck and shoulder muscles......"


"Took it for 3 days and had severe anxiety attack.  Went from being so sleepy to extremely anxious.  Acted so strange my kids asked if I had been drinking! Felt much better within 24 hours of stopping.  If you suffer from depression/anxiety, don't take this."


"Taken to lower blood pressure and to increase urine flow at night.  Worked great for both."


"Was prescribed 20mg. TERRIBLE night horrors and sleep paralysis. Only taken two nights and I will never take it again.
I have no idea why nightmares aren't listed as a side effect. I don't know how this is an approved drug either."


"Though it certainly helped me stay asleep once I had gone to bed, it caused me to be groggy the next day and I had the hardest time just getting out of bed. That could have been tolerable, however, if it were not for the hallucinations I suffered once I would lay down. It felt as though people were pushing on the mattress and grabbing at my feet. It was so bad, in fact, that it caused me to have to sleep with the light on, and I'm a 32 year old man! This ultimately caused me to have to stop taking this."


"I got the depo shot 3 months after having my daughter in 2012. I wanted to make sure I didn't get pregnant again. No periods at all, and no side effects, other than always wanting chicken. I only got the shot that one time though because I moved and didn't have the insurance coverage anymore to get the shot. I recently decided to get the shot again when I got a new boyfriend. It was horrible. I had constant headaches and more pregnancy symptoms than I had when I was actually pregnant. I also bled for 2 weeks at a time I decided I would give it another try after talking to my doctor and reading online that most people have issues the first one. my issues are still the same with the bleeding. I hate it."


"I was recommended to switch from xanax to vistaril, but the vistaril did not help with my anxiety at all.  I became extremely irritable (probably from the increased anxiety not being treated with xanax anymore).  I did not notice any positive effects even after taking it for a month.  I was told this medication was fast acting for panic attacks like xanax, but they did not help with the panic attacks in the least bit.  I highly recommend that if you have severe debilitating anxiety to not even try this drug based on what I went through."


"This stopped my depression the second day!  It felt like a hole in my heart mended! Literally! I seem to be able to skip days here and there in the spring and summertime with no effects, but never have plans to wean off.  It has been too great a miracle prescription for me!  Seven years!"


"My partner has been an alcoholic for over 10 years. I have cared for him for the last 2 years and have tried everything. I thought an antidepressant was going to be the answer along with therapy. Nothing could stop his drinking and lying. I had given up hope. I took him to the Gp and asked for medication to stop him from drinking. He started Nalteroxe 4 days ago. He takes it at night and it really knocks him out but it is amazing. He is like a totally different person. He is happy. No cravings no drinking. The evil cloud of addiction is gone. I am under no illusion that there is work to do to address the underlying issues but for the first time he free to live life and remain sober. Life saving."


"Have been on this for 48 hours, have nausea, diarrohea, headache, loss of appetite and feel generally unwell. I still have the original symptoms. The weekend is here, so will stick it out until Monday before ringing GP. Thanks for everyones comments."


"hated every moment of it!! Went to dr because of continuous abnormal bleeding from june 10 - august 8th , the prescribed me the norethindrone i started it that day and have been bleeding non stop for the past three weeks with severe cramping and abdominal pain. Blood clots the size of my hand and lower back pain , there has been no break for me and yesterday i had ecided to stop the pill and feel remarkably better overnight."


"IT'S MY SAVIOR, I was in severe anxiety and depression for the last 6 months, it felt like there was no hope anymore, started taking Zoloft, and today is my 4th week. It's not that I don't feel depressed anymore, I FEEL HAPPY, enjoying every moment of life, I go to work full of motivation now, I feel like nothing can stress me out, you sound very confident in front of your colleagues. I am so thankful for this medicine, it gave me my potential, my efficiency and my life back. No significant side effects, other than weight gain."


"This medicine has worked wonders for me... took a month to work but well worth the wait."


"I was prescribed 500mg 4 times a day..I feel no pain and able to work"


"I thought the NuvaRing was great that is, until I started noticing that NuvaRing likes to slip down to the vaginal opening and irritates my urethral opening. This happens constantly. I have also noticed that I am extremely bloated. I have tried everything to make the bloatedness go away. Doctor said it was water gain, but when does water gain ever go away? No acne, (not a huge sufferer of acne normally), no painful cramps (yet) I got on the NuvaRing immediately after getting off the Depo Provera. Maybe the withdrawal symptoms of the Depo Provera are coinciding with the new symptoms of the ring? I am considering not being on the ring. "


"BEST medication I've ever taken for anxiety. I was skeptical to take it because of some negative reviews, but I figured, what the heck, what have I got to lose??

 I plan on staying on buspar for a long long time. It's allowed me to be more outgoing and get involved more in social situations. Have a positive attitude, try it, and I think you'll love it too!"
