"I have taking 20 mg and must say that it's the best medicine for me. I can concentrate, feeling peace in my mind. I'm also bipolar and before elvanse I tried medicine concerta and ritalin which made me more depressed and when they was going away from body I felt like awful. Elvanse is just a miracle medicine, I don't feel when it goes away. The only side effect of medicine is : dry mouth, not feeling hungry. Don't forget to eat and drink water because if you don't do it your bloodsugar will go down and you gonna feel ill,bad,headache !! I recomend this medicine !"


"I've been on lamictal  for 1 year for seizure prevention/mood swings. I gained weight, have a dry mouth and insomnia.  I told my neurologist I wanted to come off seizure meds as I haven't had a seizure for 5 yrs, he said No because the next seizure I have may  be fatal! Great bedside manner! Now I have live with side effects as I'm scared to come off lamictal."


"I'm 20 years old and in university. I've been depressed for a few years and eventually decided to stop suffering from it and decided to take action. I was started on Cipralex 20mg/day at first for a month and a half, but decided to discontinue due to the intolerable side effects. I decided to see my doctor in order to try out another medication in hopes that It'd be tolerated. He put me on Wellbutrin XL 150mg/day. Just a few days in I suffered from stomach pain, considerable appetite loss and constipation (no movements for 4 days ), bouts of anxiety (out of character for me), mental cloudiness, confusion, short-term memory impairment, and a general 'spacey' feeling--so I stopped 2 weeks in. However it did alleviate my depression."


"There is not a better drug than xanax for my anxiety.  I love it!  Thanks to this drug I can do simple things like go to my kids schools with out going into a panic attack!"


"Linzess 290 only worked for 3 days then I went right back to chronic constipation.  I continued to take it for about 2 months nevertheless.  No results.  I had terrible side effects -- bloating and cramps. Eventually turned back to old fashioned laxatives out of desperation. I'm still suffering from chronic constipation til today.  Change in diet and exercise has had no effect."


"I started on this medicine on 6/4/15 and my weight was 133 and I was so ready to see if it really works so I checked my weight this morning  6/8/15 and now I am 123 ... This is a great will keep you guys updated..."


"I'm just finishing my first month and overall birth control has been great for me. I have a higher sex drive and not pregnant. My cramps have nearly disappeared and my bleeding is no where near as heavy. I have noticed I've been a bit more depressed than usual and I cry a bit more (not always sad tears) but small things I used to just brush off make me cry like jokes and pictures of dogs. I'm hoping these side effects go away over time because overall this pill is working for me and it is only the first month but the pros definitely outweigh the cons on this pill."


"26 spots came out the first week. A few were very big (larger than a pencil eraser) and they oozed like a greenish pus. but....only a tiny bit of itching during the healing weeks. Seemed to work great!"


"Took 100 mg of in vocals, great results.  Dr. Increased dosage to 300.  Blood sugar rose from 100 to 300-450.  Within 2 weeks, muscles lost strength, balance was off.  Blood sugar remained high.  Unable to continue hiking, exercise etc.  went off invokana.  Started physical therapy to regain muscle strength.  6 months later muscle strength back, blood sugar is between 300-400.  Never went back down.  I feel horrible.  Everything had been fine until invokana dosage increased.  I believe it did serious damage to my body."


"I had a great experience with Nexplanon. For me, it works great and fully eliminated my monthly cycle. Nonetheless, I've known of others who have tried Nexplanon and had consistent spotting/breakthrough bleeding. I don't feel any of the other adverse side effects of oral contraceptives (I frequently would have severe headaches during my period). The implantation was easy and I didn't feel a thing. Additionally, I did not have any scarring or bruising after it was put in. I would highly recommend it!"


"Worked as described."


"I have used this drug for almost a year. Citalopram is much better to my physical comfort and mental peace and I have experienced few harsh side effects. One noticeable one is inability to concentrate at times and lack of short term memory. It also inhibits the libido and diminishes sexual performance. It has quietened the "voices" in my head and allowed me to focus on health and nutrition as a means of finding a constructive solution to mental rehabilitation. I would not recommend alcohol and caffeine products while using this drug, both can cause severe side effects and a subsequent attack of depression and anxiety."


"My problem was extremely dry mouth and some depression."


"After being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, had radioactive iodine treatment in 2004.  Was put on Synthroid because the radioactive iodine caused hypothyroidism.  When this first happened, I had my levels checked every 3 months, and Synthroid levels were adjusted accordingly to fit my needs.  We moved the panels to every 6 months for testing, and then yearly.  At this point we are at 150mcgs and I feel great. It has been a journey but Synthroid works better for me than the generic, which we tried for a short time.  It depends on what works for you and your body.  Don't be afraid to let your endocrinologist know if something isn't working for you, you know yourself best.  Good luck."


"After being forced by doctors to get gastric bypass, I decided that this is not an option for me. I am somewhat physically active still (aqua aerobics and walking at work 4-8km a shift. I have tried diets and juicing only to keep gaining. I needed some extra help. I researched this product and other doctor prescribed drugs such as the pills that block fat but the side effects of wet oily farts and maybe pooping your pants was a no go as well. Enter Saxenda. its been a week since I started (0.6) and I have dropped 6lbs. My appetite and cravings have eased significantly. No major side effects so far. I drink lots of water and chew your food! Chew it until there is nothing. This is a virtually pain free daily self needle injection."


"I take the pill at the same time every day and it has been effective in preventing pregnancies, however my sex drive is now non-existent whereas before I had an extremely high sex drive. I also have vaginal dryness now which is very annoying. Haven't had any other issues besides that but it is frustrating to deal with at times."


"Elavil gave me a migraine every single time I used it and they lasted longer and was more painful and it also made me sluggish it was like taking 6 Benadryl."


"I have been on generic celexa for about two weeks now. I was searching for something to help me with deteriorating anxiety. I had no idea it would also make me less irrational, and nicer. I don't get upset over everything now. I feel confident and myself again. Lots of side effects though. Currently have a hollow feeling at all times, very spaced out, memory loss, cannot orgasm, insomnia, unable to tell when I am hungry, and since I have upped my dose to 20mg I also clench my jaw often. For me the good out weighs the bad though. I am just happy to not be feeling so manic nonstop"


"I've been on this birth control for a few months now and I have absolutely no complaints. My insurance covers it 100%, I didn't (and still don't) have any side effects when starting the pill and i'm not pregnant! No weight gain, no nausea, no headaches, nothing."


"I had a very bad experience on setraline started taking 50 mg daily increased to 100mg, have never felt so ill.  I couldn't leave the house so anxious, couldn't eat, felt sick all the time, couldn't concentrate and very depressed, cut down the dose over 10 days and stopped but had to go onto beta blockers to controll my anxiety, now cutting them down to come off those too, back on old antidepressant escitrapram and feeling a lot better. I will never take sertraline again."


"So I had gotten my first depo shot December 28,2015 in the ER because I was bleeding so bad from my cycle that the doctor said I had to get it so it can control my bleeding . so I noticed February 20th , 2016 brown old blood ai didnt know if it was normal , I was happy that the shot wore off because I read so many reviews and got scared . now its March 5th and Im bleeding normal / heavy in the middle . I'm worried that this will affect my marriage.  I just want the bleeding to be done and get regular ."


"i stop taking this pill after taking it for 4 years.... I completely stop pms for an entire year so... i finally got off, because i actually want kids some day and i don't want to become STERILE..."


"I was on 20mg of Celexa for 4 years for euphoric disorder. About 1 week before my period I would feel creepy cawling tingles up my spine and into my brain. I would have white hot temper outbursts. I was also abusing alcohol. Geez, great times. Now I haven't drank in 7 years. Celexa at that time was a God send. Never felt better.
Than 3 weeks ago the medicine stopped working and I had to go to the ER twice in 1 weekend. The anxiety, vomitting, nausea, hot flashes and cold sweats were unmanageable. Finally my friend who is a Internist suggest Lexapro 10mg. I agreed and took it just like Celexa, before bed. I woke a new woman. All side effects gone, and normal feelings of happiness are in my heart. First day, so things may change, but I'm better."


"I had horrible experiences with birth control pills - I could not handle the hormones in any of them I tried.  I got Skyla after my first child was born.  The insertion hurt pretty badly and I was cramping and bleeding for about a month afterwards.  After that month though I stopped getting my period completely, I can handle the hormone levels in it and really the only negative is that I've had some very dull, light abdominal pain that comes and goes randomly, which is tolerable in comparison to having a regular period and to what other birth control did to me."


"I've been on this Birth Control for about 2 years, I just recently stopped it in the middle of my 3 week cycle of it (I got my period 2 days after I took it out so beware). When I first started this I felt anxious a lot and always moody, definitely didn't have any libido what so ever. Also I gained so much weight, and I exercise and ate pretty decent where I shouldn't gain 30lbs all together. When it was about a year into the ring I gained about 15lbs then I stopped it for 2 months lost a few pounds easy and then put myself back on it and gained 30lbs. I really don't like it and don't plan to go back on it....it's funny when I stopped I lost 5lbs the next day."


"Has not worked for my belumia. I still throw up almost every meal. I don't throw up after taking it because I know I need it."


"I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and so far I like it. I used to be on Loestrin 24 and it made me go INSANE. My poor husband hated being around me for the 2 months I took it. I stopped taking birth control pills after that.  Now I am on Yaz and have actually felt good and full of energy but my acne has gotten about 10 times worse than it was starting out.  Many have said it gets worse before it gets better so I am sticking with it!  Oh and my breasts have already gotten larger.  They were large to begin with DD and I am now at DDD. I hope that stops!  I honestly do look just like Dolly all boobs."


Postoperative Increased Intraocular Pressure

"Painless, no side effects, assume it is doing its thing."


"I like to travel and the last thing I need is a further compromised immune system. Otezla sounded like a good option, so I talked to my doctor about it. She was cautious, as they had 2 other folks on it and one was quitting because of the side effects, and the other hadn't shown any progress as of yet.  I started in October of 2015, and the only side effects I suffered were minor tension headaches for the first few weeks, and weight loss.  Like helped me lose 30 pounds weight loss. 7 months and 98% clear, with my arthritis almost gone also. I haven't felt or looked this good in 20 years. Completely changed my life."

"I've been taking Sprintec for 2.5 months now. The 1st month and a half I had horrible mood swings. I would get very upset at my boyfriend in particular. Little things made me cry. Now, I get upset sometimes but I always remember that I'm on the pill and so therefore I'm more likely to get upset about trivial things and to take a breather once in a while. It hasn't helped nor made my acne worse. Since first taking the pill I have definitely noticed an increase in appetite. For me this is great since I have trouble gaining weight anyways. So far though, it's only been an increase in appetite, no weight gain yet. Also only swollen breasts no noticeable increase yet. But as stated before, every woman reacts differently to different birth controls."


"Hi I am 21 I suffered from bipolar 2 since I was 18 , I am the mixed episode manic all the time, I tried every single medicine and I mean every thing no thing subsided the mixed episode , (anti depressant makes me worse in the mixed episode) ,I tried lamictal 100 per day and its subsided the mixed episode no panic attack no tears or fears no hypomanic or depression at all and no side effecet this drug is a game changer for me and I'm so thankful its saved my life , I take it alone , and actually its good for weight loss sorry for my english hope you get some benefits try it its really the best for bipolar 2"


"I took Lo Loestrin for 3mo, with horrible side effects the entire time! My Dr. wanted me to stick it out for 3 months before switching to give my body time to get used to it. It was the worst 3mo of my life. I was nauseous CONSTANTLY especially with physical exercise. I would have to sit down from walking because I would get to dizzy/ nauseous from it. I started the pills on Day 1 of my period and then bled the ENTIRE 3MO! Not just spotting either. The only time it was spotting was for the 7 days when I was supposed to get my period each month, the rest of the time was HORRIBLE heavy bleeding. The worst part though was the anxiety and depression. I cried every every single day. Couldn't get out of bed, and had anxiety attacks. Ended up switching pills."


"I'm rating it a 10 for effectiveness because it does what it's does. It's birth control. First month, some cramping (during period only), normal bleeding(yet lasted 10-13 days), no headaches, hormonal jawline acne cleared right up. Got my period irregularly still.
-second month, no cramps, no headaches,  hormonal acne still gone, somewhat still fighting steady acne, yet it's MUCH better, gained a few pounds, breasts got noticeably larger (especially for my boyfriend). Got my period on the first brown pill. I'm looking forward to month 3.
Hope this helped."


"I went to urgent care Dr. Because my primary Dr. Was on vacation.  I had seen this Dr. Before when I had a bad case of sinus problem which he gave antibiotics. It cleared me up for 3 weeks and then I had a bad relapse. Went back to the same Dr who prescribed methylprednisolone 4mg dose ok. And stronger antibiotics. Man oh man !! My sciatica was inflamed! I could not sleep had to walk with a cane I was in so much pain I wanted to stop taking them but a nurse said continue to take them  cause this medicine works throughout your body a certain way then if it continue see your primary Dr. I'm not finish yet . I had to miss my best friend husband retirement party! And still having issues."


"Day 8 and increasing dosage slowly. Foggy brain better. Some areas of pain are better, but hands/wrist are at a 10 pain level now. Swollen and tender.  Not sure what is going on but hope it tones down soon.  It feels like the hydrocodone is not working as well now and little pain relief.  Nausea and hot flashes are the main side effects so far.  I noted others were taking night dose early in day to help with not sleeping at night. Will try that since I am still awake half the night."


"I'm 10 days into my treatment, the hospital started me on 30mg then told me to increase the dose to 60mg after 7 days.  So far, so good.  I have to say that I'm getting on well with the drug but I'm experiencing some insomnia and so take Valium for that (around 10mg).

I hope that as time goes on and my dose of cymbalta increases that this drug continues to work and and I feel even more of its benefits as I want to start reducing the Valium at some point in the future.

I'm in the UK and so do not pay for this drug and as my Doctor has certified me as being unfit for work, I don't have to pay for any medication at all."


"I had diarrhea for a year and a half following gall bladder removal. I am so grateful to be able to eat without running to the bathroom within ten minutes. The day after I began taking Welchol, I won a dualthlon, probably because I didn't need to use the restroom and I ate a decent breakfast. Thanks for giving me my life back!"


"I was attracted to the four periods a year setup. I had really bad cramps and spotting for the first 8 to 9 months on Seasonique. I continued to have intermittent cramps and spotting after. One strange side effect is that after an orgasm I would have a terrible cramping and blood a little later. Not pleasant.

I also gained about 10 lbs in one year, which is not normal for me. I go to a gym and avoid junk food. I was generally puffy and no matter how much weight training and cardio I did, could NOT GET IN SHAPE. I'm switching back to Loestrin after I get my weight back to normal. This is an effective birth control but the side effects were a bit unpleasant in my experience."


"After trying literally every single allergy medication out there (not over the counter), Nasacourt was the only medication that stopped my allergy symptoms. Great product, would definitely recommend 10/10"


"I have been taking Viibryd for three weeks now. I started on 10mg with food and instantly had severe diarrhea, dizziness, and just felt a little mentally absent. I went to bed that day, already feeling mental relief from lifelong MDD. My doctor had me reduce to 5mg for two weeks, which I did, and taking the pill with food and reducing the dosage helped tremendously. I am up to 10mg now and I feel absolutely amazing. The happiness that was mine as a child has returned. I am so glad to find this medication. I thought I was managing well enough with natural therapies and meds, but hit rock bottom this season with no unusually difficult things happening in my life. Science can be the miracle."


"I have been taking this antibiotic for almost 2 months now and it worked so well for my acne. After one week of using it, my acne was gone completely. Always take it after a meal and please take probiotics while you're taking it otherwise your digestive system will get upset (this goes for any type of antibiotics ever)."


"I have been on Viibryd for 10 days. The first 5 or 6 days I had a ton of energy. My stomach was a little bloated but no other major side effects.  About 3 days ago I started feeling very blah, having anxiety, very gassy and just not feeling right.  I am only on 10mg so hopeful that raising me to 20 will solve these problems. After 5  years on Lexapro I wanted to try something that didn't cause weight gain and didn't have sexual side effects. I was still having panic attacks and lots of anxiety on the Lexapro so I was hoping this would help.  Just want to feel normal again."


"I have been taking this pill since April. I have two weeks to go before I should start my cycle. However, I have been bleeding everyday since my second week of taking this pill. I plan to stop after this Saturday; I am tired of bleeding for 3 months. I will try another method for my endometriosis."


"Plan B really does work , it's a huge dose of hormones . Hospitals use this pill for rape traumas , it's effective if taken as directed . So take it within the 24-mark. The best advice is don't stress , don't surf the web looking for answers , I did and I was miserable for TWO MONTHS . I actually took two of these pills (which I do not suggest unless advised otherwise by a dr or pharmacist) I did because I was worried about me being 170 pounds it wouldn't work , I bled two weeks later. Took tests every week , all negative , took a blood test , negative , I got my period two months later .  It will come , take precautions , don't worry (easier said than done ) and talk to a healthcare provider on what happened."


"After years of ED I was finally prescribed Viagra. 50mg was only partially effective so I went onto the 100mg tablets. The effect was amazing, 1 hour after taking the 1st tablet I had the hardest erection I'd had in years and the stamina I had was as though I had gone back to my 20's and 30's. My wife was highly impressed with my performance especially when we had sex for 3 nights in a row and now walks around with a smile on her face again, as do I!"


"I have genital herpes as well as SLE and related complications. I mention the other health issues only because the treatment for the Lupus is to suppress the immune system, which can allow the herpes virus to become more active than it would be if my immune system was not compromised. I take valacyclovir daily for suppressive treatment, but when I do have an outbreak, I always add the acyclovir ointment. I find that it eases the discomfort and helps the sores heal a little bit faster."


"Just started this in the gel form, I'm taking it with codine and paracetamol and that seems to do the trick nicely before was just the tablets and they wouldn't touch it but so far so good"


"I tried viibryd after being on citalopram for a year and a half to see if it would be better. I had no problems transitioning BUT I gained about 10 pounds in the first weeks I was on it full dosage. I NEVER fluctuate more than 1-2 lbs - have weighed the same for 10 years -- and despite eating less & exercising twice as much I couldn't lose the weight. After ~2 months I switched back to citalopram & lost all the weight in about 2 weeks. Without going to the gym."


"Started on 2/13/17.  I work night shift, so I started my dosing in the afternoon when I wake up because I was fearful of having difficulty sleeping.  The first two days I took it with food and had no problems.  But the third day, I took on a empty stomach and experienced nausea and dizziness and just did not feel good.  Once I ate, which was a few hours later, I was fine.  So I won't take it without food again.  So far I can tell my hunger has greatly subsided.  The cravings are also down.  So I'm hopeful this med will work as promised.  Will update."


"I have used nearly every migraine med known to science.  I have gotten slight relief with maxalt.  However, Relpax is what everyone else is calling it, a miracle.  I had chronic migraines and life was unbearable.  I started botox injections after taking Relpax for a year and I get MAYBE two-three a month now.  Before, I averaged 15 plus a month.  LOVE Relpax to kick a migraine.  But botox to break the cycle is the way to go!  Thank you for the relief!"


"Nonstop spotting for 6 weeks. Weight gain, bloated. I can’t wait to switch back to Juleber. My only side effect with Juleber was bigger boobs."


" Recommend using Lovan 20mg the generic brand of Prozac. Break in half to start at 10mg a day. Your looking for small signs of success. Keep a daily journal of your time taking it so you can look back TRUST ME this helps when spotting reaction patterns and finding right exact dosage amount. For some LESS Prozac is more benefit. Mania / sweating / twitching muscles was part of my first 2 months but settled down. Alcohol leaves toxins in your blood for 2 days that stop the medication working fully. Sex drive gone by 80%.** I have still had to apply daily mental awareness techniques and being aware of my thoughts to get great results. Not been a cure all but is brilliant"


"I totally love it.  I've been on it 6 days & has already lost 4.6lbs. I'm staying away from sugar and bread. I only drink water & powerade. I'm hoping to lose 15 more lbs by Thanksgiving. I use MyFitness Pall to track my calories & carbs."


"I got Nexplanon inserted early December 2014. I had two months of bliss, nothing changed. It was mid-February where things started getting jacked up. I started getting my period 6 days on, 6 days off, and that has lasted me up until now, September. I have also been getting headaches that last DAYS, and do not go away with the help of Ibuprofen, 1000 mg does nothing to help. I have already talked with my doctor and she agreed to take it out soon to try something else. I normally wouldn't care so much about the bleeding, but it's the stiff neck, headaches and frustration from that I can't handle."


"Works like a miracle but have nausea."


"20mg usually works great for me, as long as I do not wait too long to take it.  I weigh almost 90 lbs.  When more than several hours have passed since the start of the headache I take 40mg.   I ended up prefering Relpax (eletriptan) to sumatriptan.  Perhaps because it works better or perhaps because it is more convenient pill (no need to split).
I feel that it has a pain blocking effect for up to two days after taking it.
My headaches originate from neck positions and movements and are about once a week."


"Before I got my Paragard put in (two days ago), I was psyching myself out. I had heard that for women like me who have not had kids, having an IUD put in was super painful and awful. Oh please. Ha.
If I said it didn't hurt I would be a big fat liar, but it didn't hurt even half as bad as I was expecting. If you are thinking about going with this, just know that all it feels like is a severe period cramp. Don't let that freak you out, it's uncomfortable, and honestly it is painful, but not anything a woman can't handle. That's coming from someone who has a LOW pain tolerance, and is a total wimp. I am on day three of having it in, and I love it. The day it was put in was the worst, cramps are pretty bad, but it gets easier and easier."


"Pristiq seems to be the medicine that works the best for my fibromyalgia.  I was taking 100mg awhile and felt great except for not being able to sleep well, so I went back to 50mg.  I may go back to 100mg and take something for sleep.  God Bless all of us with this disease. I have had this for 9 years and have tried everything."


"No change in urinary frequency or urgency."


"When I started Risperdal it made my whole body shake the first day, but after that I was restless everyday and I couldn't sit down for long periods of time. The medicine helped a lot with delusions and hallucinations (including audio) and helped a bit with reality perception but did not help with irrational thinking. Gained 15 lbs."


"It's really nice being able to take off my jacket without having huge sweat spots for everyone to see."


"Was on Cymbalta 60mg. for a few years for depression with  all my other medications and the side effects causing dry mouth for all these years. Taking a depression medicine will cause your teeth to start going bad. So bout 7 months ago after a RN nurse told me about depression medicines having this side effect and that Cymbalta will cause my teeth to start falling out my mouth  my doctor switched me to Lexapro 10mg. I have lost more teeth in the past 7 months than I did on Cymbalta 60mg. And I have started using mouth rinse for dry mouth. Cause I keep a dry mouth with all this medication I'm on.  And still hurt everyday. Still depressed, still have anxiety at times. I have headaches, restless nights, pain and numbness in lower legs  that can't be explained "


"Been on Tegretol 200mg twice a day for partial seizures. It's wonderful, it's really helped. I'm down from 10 seizures a day to 8. Have tried everything else hopefully getting there."


"I'm taking Novo Cipro for a bladder/kidney infection. I have to take 1 pill, twice a day, 12 hours apart. I think it's working because when I went to the hospital and got diagnosed I could barely walk. 5 days later, I'm fully upright again. & I think I can thank the Cipro & my hot water bag for that!

However, there are so many side effects. When I'm not keeling over from the pain from my bladder infection, the abdominal pains set in. I also have a terrible cramp/swelling in my left wrist & arm.

The first 3-4 days on this medication, I was exhausted. I could not stay awake for the life of me. My back was hurting, my whole body felt sore. I had a fever, cold sweats at night & migraines!! Terrible migraines!!"


"This pill was awful for me.  I had the worst mood swings.  I was constantly depressed, crying or miserable.  I gained close to 15lbs in the first month I was on it.  My appetite could not be curbed and was eating everything in sight.  The bloating was terrible too.  Overall I hated this pill for me."


"This medication saved my life. I was so numb from bipolar depression that I literally lost all feelings; I did not have pleasure in anything, was not upset by anything, was not angry and basically had no personality. After two weeks on this, I got significantly better. Of course, I needed other meds, and finding those was difficult. This was the pillar medicine after which everything else became add on's. I was recently in Australia, and they don't have Latuda there, so I don't think I could live there! I've been hoping for the day when I can finally give a med a perfect score (because when I was sick all I did was dream of getting myself back), and now I can. Alleviates bipolar depression and any residual psychotic symptoms."


"I am very glad to use this birth control because for me there weren't any side effects. I am very satisfied for this product. The pills make me sick and I feel nauseous all the time. I have had aches, vomiting, pains in my abdomen and I was very very dizzy."


"I've been on the pills for 2 months and I have been so emotional as in depressed. I've had a little bit of acne but it's not that bad. No weight gain, in fact, I've lost 5 pounds. Very very nauseous but can't throw up. Headaches here and there. I'm not sure if I'll switch just yet.. I'll probably try it out a little longer"


"I've been dealing with extreme nausea and vomiting for the past 6 months, and it finally got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and went to the ER. They gave me Zofran through IV and was feeling better in about an hour. After I was released I was on 4 mg every 8 hours and for about a week I was back to my old self. Then things started to go down hill, and they boosted it to 8 mg. Now it doesn't evenwork anymore and makes me more nauseous than I was before. I also got pretty bad constipation and headaches after taking the medication. Not to mention, if you're taking the tablets be ready to handle the taste because it is DISGUSTING."


"I got prescribed Anafranil after not impressive effects of tritico and zoloft, and yeah, it worked for a few months, but I had to up my dosage every now and then. However after around 4 months of taking it, it stopped working, I capped the dosage, and had to switch therapists, as the former had no idea what to do with severe depression. However what I'd like to share is the withdrawal part. In the time I was off it, it was really bad, imagine being constantly drunk. You can not focus, your view is shifting, everything seems to be floating, also like a lagging game, it feels as the visual part comes later than the audio. Really weird, so if you are on it or planning to try, ask your doctor for a way to take it out gradually."


"I just started Lunesta last night 3 mg and it did nothing for me so I took another and nothing. I have tried ambien 10mg and trazadone 500mg a and I felt like I had a cup of sugar my insomnia is really bad. Does anyone know of a really good sleep pill that actually works?"


"Ritalin made me able to block out everything and focus on reading my boring, tedious nursing books. Take it at least 12 hours before you go to sleep, or else it will keep you up at night with thoughts racing. It suppresses appetite and makes most people lose weight- I actually gained weight because I would be starving and binge eat at the end of the night. I did like Ritalin, but it made me too irritable so I switched to Adderall. That is much more pleasant and even more effective. Focalin 10 mg is good for people with mild ADHD symptoms. "


"I lost 7 pounds in a little over a week taking Contrave. Contrave definitely gave me the extra boost that I needed. I walk 4,000 steps per day and have been eating healthy by choosing healthy foods and counting my calorie intake. For the first week getting used to the medication was a little difficult, I felt dizzy and a little nauseous but I feel no side effects now. My blood pressure is normal again and I feel great and confident about the days to come! I would recommend Contrave to anyone who's having a hard time losing weight!"


"It worked amazing on my migraines. I was able to go a year without the pain even though I wasn't on it but now along with the hassle to get things done my migraines are returning. With no health insurance ... This is truly an amazing drug."


"I have been taking Norvasc 5mg for 6 months. It makes me tired, have had weight gain, and now have palpitations when I take it. It hasn't lowered my blood pressure by much. I exercise daily and take vitamins."


"I have had the Implanon for almost a year now. I have heard that there is always a lot of weight gain but I didn't mind that because I had a lot of trouble keeping weight on for a long time. All in all this is the most emotionally stable I've felt out of all the birth control methods I've tried, and it hasn't had much effect on my sex drive,  but I'm not super active anyway so I don't see any difference as I'm sure I would if I were in a long term relationship.  I originally got it because I have a rare medical condition that causes metabolic episodes when I have my period that had put me in the hospital on numerous occasions plus I had just started to become sexually active.  I am very satisfied!"


"I have been on Junel 1/20 for 2 months and just started my third pack. The first 2 months were fine. My periods are regular and actually shorter and lighter than they've ever been which is a plus!! But  every night since I started this pack, I've woke up with nausea and vomiting!  I've also had a terrible headache every day... One side effect I've had all along is lack of sex drive. Everyone responds differently to birth control but unfortunately,  I do not think this one is for me."


"Medication did not work at all.  Taking 2 pills caused irrational behaviour, but no suppression of appetite."


"I've had Crohn's Disease since I was 8 years old. I am 52 now. I've had over 15 surgeries related to the disease. Humira has made my life so much better than

I can ever remember it being. Not only is the medication great, but between the manufacturer (Abbvie), Connecticare,& Walgreens, they have me on a reduced cost plan which makes it easily affordable ."


"There is no weight gain on this, this is not the type of medication that has those side effects. My periods got crazy and irregular, but that isn't a problem, they warned me in advance they would be like that. I personally loved it, it lasts a long time and you don't have to do anything to care for it."


"I've always had slightly dry eyes but it was tolerable until after I had Lasik. After a couple of months, the doctor suggested I try Xiidra. The first couple of weeks seemed ok but I could feel any improvement. The doctor said I should continue with OTC eye drops and ointment. After about 3 weeks though, my eyes began itching, like I have never experienced. It was intolerable. I wanted to rub my eyes out. I wasn't sure if it was the medication or allergies so I stopped the medication. It's been a few days now and my eyes are feeling better. Still dry but not the crazy itching."


"I started taking Kariva May 2013 when I was 18. It was the first time I was a taking a birth control pill and I was with my boyfriend for 3 months at the time so it seemed like a smart decision. I mainly went on it to control my periods and clear up my acne which I was fed up with after years. Now I have realized that over the past year, it has made me completely emotionless and I have absolutely zero sex drive. On the bright side, my periods have been light and short (still painful cramping) and my skin has never looked better. I am going to stop taking it and try out a different pill that hopefully doesn't diminish my emotions."


"Improved my problem dramatically. I never experience any major side effects"


"my story with this medication is so strange. I was diagnosed with PCOS about 5 years ago and since then I've been taking microgestian 1/20. For about 4 years it really helped keep my skin clear and balance out my hormone levels. Back in January I was living away from home and ran out. I didn't find a new endriconologist until about May. She prescribed me a higher dosage of microgestian which was the 1.5. I took two packs of this and my skin resulted in the worst cystic acne since I was a teenager. I stopped taking it and asked her to put me on the old prescription of 1/20. I've been on that one for two packs and am currently on the third pack. I've seen no improvement on my skin and actually think it's getting worse. Any advice?"


"I'm a horrible sleeper.  Left to my own devices I would typically sleep from 11 til 1 - be awake from 1 til 5 - sleep from 5-630.   And that was it.

My doc didn't want to give me more Ativan or clonazepam - and immovane etc. made me feel like a truck had run me over the next day.

Tried trazadone and I sleep better than I have at any point in my entire life.  I am so grateful.  50mgs 30 minutes before sleep.  It makes my nose a little stuffy otherwise no side effects."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"My prep instructions were one 6oz bottle the evening before and one 6oz bottle the morning of the colonoscopy. Both times were similar, started working within 20-25 minutes and lasted a couple hours. I mixed with Sprite. The review that mentions salty grape cough syrup was spot on. The first bottle wasn't terrible, the second one almost made me puke. Compared to other prep experiences I've heard outside of this site I think Suprep is probably one of the easier ones, of course everyone reacts different."


"Not effective"


"I`ve had an on off relationship with opiates for many years now, my addictive personality has completely taken over my life and I'm out of control since my mother died but I chose to get it back by taking Subutex. I get no euphoria, I get nothing except a feeling of normality, but now I'm extremely worried reading about others experiences of trying to get off of the medicine. I did a methadone program once and tapered off, I was free from opiates for many years until quite recently, my Doctor told me the Subutex would be better and easier to get off than Methadone. I hope this is the case, I've been on the Subutex for 3 months now. At first I took 24mg a day, now I take between 12 and 16mg a day, depending on how I feel."


"Been on this stuff for like almost two months and I haven't felt better. In fact I've been feeling more aggressive and sadder. I have crazy mood swings (didn't have them before this med) and I feel extremely angry and sad all the time. This didn't work on me. Worst antidepressant I've tried"


"Truly a quality of life improver. I can't thank my doctor enough for giving me this prescription when I have debilitating flare ups.  Just have to rest and not over exert your joints when on this medicine.  Let the swelling subside before returning to normal activities.  For me, 2-3 days, and I feel great."


"Since I have started using this, I get angry for no reason. Have been off for week and a half and my husband who does not want kids has asked me not to go back on."


"So I got my implant in July 21st 2015. I've be bleeding since that day. Then this past weekend I had a heavy flow period for two days. I was going through 4 super pads an hour. Then I start feeling dizzy, so I went to the hospital. I lost half the amount of blood your suppose to have in your body. I had to get 5 units of blood over the period of 4 days before my blood levels were stable. I had my implant removed. I was really hoping this would work for me. I'm not trying to scare anyone, just sharing  my experience. This product is not for everyone."


"I've been taking Lexapro for a week now to help me keep mellow like jello. I'm not taking anything else. I work 3rd shift. So my nights are days. And days are nights. This makes makes me extremely sleepy by the end of the week. I have only been on it for a week. This last Friday after I got off work. I fell asleep in recliner from 8:00am to 1:00pm got up ate a bite. Went to bed. I woke up to go to the bathroom a few times. But didn't get out of bed till 11:00pm Saturday. I have not left my bedroom, or ate anything. I don't feel like doing anything or going anywhere. I will be calling my doctor Monday and talking to him about how it makes me feel. "


"I took two cycles of Contrave  unfortunately

It did not help me to lose weight at all."


"I have been having hot flushes day and night for 16 years 1 every 2 hours i live in Spain and cannot sit in the sun as when I get a hot flush I nearly pass out. Then I found out about Gabapentin from researching, OMG what a transformed person I am!! I take 300mg twice a day, I am so happy they have disappeared. A big whoopee from me."


"My sister, a doctor, gave me three months of Chantix.  I love smoking, but my husband and family hated it.  Cigarettes were my best friend- the first thing I thought about in the morning and the last thing I did before going to sleep.  15 years of a pack a day, and I knew Chantix wouldn't help.  I took it to shut my sister and husband up.  By day 14 of Chantix, I was down to 10 cigarettes a day.  And then, late in the night before bed, I ran out of my cigarettes.  I decided I was too tired to go buy some and I decided to try to quit smoking.  The first few days after quitting I used Nicotine gum and then after 4 days of that, I stopped using even the nicotine gum!  Two months later, I weened myself off of Chantix! 16 months smoke-free!"


"I've been on this medication for 3+ years and it took a while to get on track. I was put on YAZ first but my cramping didn't stop at all. On Sprintec my skin has cleared and last month had not a single cramp during the bleeding period. I am only able to extend my period for a month and a half and often bleed before my placebo pills but I am only on those for 3 days."


"I'm doing well at my job and able to drive. 60mg. I sweat on occasion."


"Was taking truvada and 400 mg sustiva but could not get my viral down beyond 180-200. Got off Sustiva and went on Tivicay/Truvada and within one month my viral load dropped to 70 and my cd4 rose to over 300 for the first time. Now my cd4 is up to 340 from 280 and my viral load is down to 40. Getting off of sustiva was the best decision I ever made. No more side effects and no more worrying about eating and taking med. Two pills a day is all that I take. I'm very pleased and have zero side effects and am finally very close to undetectable."


"I have not experienced the above-mentioned side effect of weight gain,  but notice that just missing a single dose gives me terrible headache and "brain zaps". Hard to describe, but you'll know it if you ever have one. Other than that, I suppose it's an okay drug. I've tried just about every antidepressant on the market, as well as mood stabilisers and even a few of the off-label medicines, which are prescribed to ease depression, but so far, this is the only one that has had ANY effect whatsoever. It takes the full 375mg to get any effect out of me though. I've hit another low recently. I can't do anything about it but for the most part, my depression has improved, with no side effects except the ones I get if I forget to take it."


"My wife and I have found this to be the most effective antacid we have used. The others actually give us indigestion while Ron-Acid gives us relief."


"I was prescribed this medicine for heavy periods by one of my doctors but wasn't told of the potential risks until another doctor in the same clinic told me that if it's a blood clotting medicine, it could then potentially clot your blood to cause things like stroke, etc.  I was prescribed 6 tablets a day and find that taking only one makes a big difference and my periods manageable to light.  The possible risk still makes me nervous so I take as little as I can to manage my out of control period."


"After 9 months on Sotolol, I was still having Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Switched to Rhythmol 225mg for 3 months and had occasional AF, but at 325 mg, I've only had one AF episode in 6 months.  It's a blessing to lie down and go to sleep without the fear of AF starting up."


"I'm still alive thanks to this drug!  So far so good."


"At 20mg, Cialis has no effect anymore.  However, when taking 2-20mg pills at the same time, I have the same effect as 1 Viagra except for a 36 hour period.  I would consider continuing with Cialis if a 40 mg pill was available.  I am 57 years old.  This may account for the lack of effect by the standard pill.  Taking 2 Cialis would not be cost effective."


"This was the worst birth control method I've been on. I had a period that lasted 2 weeks. Thankfully my doctor prescribed me back to the pill and now the bleeding has stopped. I also experienced serious mood changes. I was constantly tired and upset. I would wake up in the middle of the night drenched In sweat with a very fast heart beat."


"I've been on this almost 3 months and the only cons are cost and when I change it each week my emotions are off for a day or 2. You have to place in an area where your pants or bra doesn't rub so it can stay on right. My appetite has definitely increased but I'm not a big girl and I can control that. Love the convenience. The best placement for me is my butt cheek. I used to pay for this but found a clinic that covers it at no cost."


"I take 20 mgs of this medication 4 times a day for IBS and gastroparesis because it helps with pyloric spams that I get with it. My GI doctor also says that I can take it up to 6 times a day on days when the cramping is really bad from the spasms. It works well. I get cramping some, but not nearly like I used to. I haven't had any side effects with it. It's a huge benefit that it helps with both diseases. It also doesn't slow my stomach with the gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach) down as much as most similar medications do, so it was the best choice for me."


"I do not get anything - erection or hardness... no movement even with stimulation.  I do have a rash on my chest since taking it, and I do get a headache when I take Viagra (100mg/nightly for 4 weeks now)."


"Have IBS & on strong meds for ongoing pains elsewhere. I get bunged up quite a lot & have been again more so than usual for a few days. I took my pain relief meds as usual all day Monday, tried to go to the loo again on Monday night but couldn't & I was doubled over in constipation pain, so I took 2 Senokot. All day Tuesday I was asleep on & off. Couldn't eat or drink a thing and felt very sick with stomach pains, couldn't even talk properly. In the evening I drank some water but each sip went through me, it was like a laxative! Today (Wednesday),I still feel very sick and every little thing I've tried to eat or drink goes through me. I'm also getting a migraine and although I feel better than yesterday, I still feel ill.Rather be bunged up!"


"This Drug Works! I stopped smoking after 30 years of smoking up to 2 packs a day. It will be a year in February. Yeah, I had strange dreams, but no other side effects, and stopping the drug didn't cause me any discomfort. What was great was it's not nicotine, like a patch, so when you stop taking it, you are free from the physical addiction too.I still get little urges here and there, but they only last a few seconds and they are easily dealt with. Thank you Chantix!  Finally a drug that works!"


"Worked well for stomach ulcer but did not heal on its own. Needed the additional Nexium to reduce the acid. The combination works better than sucralfate by itself."


"It is really effective for me. I feel so much better and now look forward to life. This medication and cognitive behavioural therapy are essential. Also, working out, getting 8 hours of sleep a night and staying away from substances is key for me."


"I just started taking this birth control for about a week now and I noticed my breasts are very swell and I always feel sexually aroused."


"I got Hydromet for my cough because I had pneumonia. It worked awesome for me especially before bedtime so I could get a good nights sleep. I'm not used to taking narcotics and I thought maybe my stomach wouldn't be able to handle it, but like I said it worked great and it was easy on my stomach."


"So far I'm on the fence about this product. I took half the bottle per doctors orders at 3pm. At 6pm still nothing has happened so I have now drank the rest. It's now 6:47 as I sit here with a rumbley tummy waiting for something to occur. So far I've ran to the toilet a few times for just gas. I hope it works by morning bc I have to be at work at 8."


"I started taking Trazodone with Topamax to treat migraine headaches. It has been so great. I also have a slight moodiness about me. Trazodone kills two birds with one stone. I would recommend this medication for a person who is on a preventative medication and struggles to sleep at night. PS: I take 150mg at bedtime (3 x 50mg)"


"I am 28 years old having my first colonoscopy. I had my gallbladder removed a year ago in the emergency room (gall stone lodged in bile duct and I had no idea I even had stones).  Ever since then I've had problems with my stomach. I began the prep at 4pm on the dot. Mixed the 6oz with 10oz of low calorie gatorade for the first cup (make sure to not use red purple or orange). Then drank a 16.9oz water bottle. Started feeling nausea and got bloated. But I began the second water bottle and didn't finish it because by 5pm I was in the bathroom. So far my tips are to definitely have baby wipes in the bathroom. Keep close to the bathroom because it happens QUICK. And keep the suprep in the fridge. The cooler it is the easier you can get it down."


"I was diagnosed in January 2011. My own immune system was able to manage my HIV for a couple years, but my health started to fail in 2013. I started with Atripla, and I'm still recovering from the extremely vivid nightmares I experienced.  I switched to a couple different combinations of drugs, but I couldn't adhere to the dosing schedules. Triumeq has been a godsend. One pill a day, and no nightmares. The only side effects I've experienced are upset stomach, weakness, and headaches.  I had one very bad spell where I nearly lost control of my motor functions and I fell in the bathroom and couldn't get back up for a short period of time.  Otherwise, my CD count has been stable at ~800, and I've been undetectable since 2013."


"I've been on Straterra for about two months and am up to 40mgs, with the exception of dry mouth and some manageable stomach aches, the medication seems to work pretty well--and subtly too.

I am a very young 48 and I was diagnosed as "hyperactive" in 1972. I was on Ritalin at a very young age.

While it's NOT a cure, it works much better than stimulant medications as an adult--I read better and seem to not interrupt as much. Coffee effects me quite a bit and if I keep it down that helps too. I was worried about all of the reviews of sexual side effects--I seem to be up and running, this worried me a lot. Once again, I'm not saying Staterra this is a cure all, but my experience seems to be very different than many reviews I have read"


"I had the Mirena for 7 months and it was a awful experience. It hurt when my doctor had inserted in me.  It felt like something was pinching me. I had a headache, dizziness,  I felt pregnant, bloated and it give your vagina a awful smell.  My mirena had fell out of me I was so scared and upset.  I will never get that garbage again"


"I've had acne since I was 14. It was really bad in high school. It slowed down in my early 20's as I used Proactiv daily. In my mid 20's I started developing nodular acne which felt like pencil erasers under my skin on my face, back and chest. After nothing worked I started taking Accutane back in 2004 and took it for 6 months. I experienced redness in the face and flushing the first month. My lips were severely chapped but using Aquaphor helped with that. Everything was going great until my last month of taking the one a day pill. Some nights I would wake up in the middle of the night sit up on the bed and have no idea where I was at. I would come to my senses after a few seconds but it was definitely a scary feeling every time it happened."


"Not even finished with my first set of doses(probably around 80% of the way there), I started seeing major results. My skin is smoother and less breakouts even after eating fried chicken. Only side effects were trouble sleeping and breathing. I also had chapped lips. Not really much pyschological effects like depression or loss of interest."


"I have had asthma since I was 13, I am now 47. I have tried many inhalers but most either did not work or only served to make me dizzy or sick to my stomach. This was the only one that worked."


"I'm 18 and I have been using Tri-Sprintec for a week now.  I love it so far. I have not experienced any nausea or any other stomach problems. My back hurt for the second day I was on it, it was not bad and went away the next day. I have been going to the gym everyday because I want to lose a few pounds and it's been harder then it usually would be. I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't gained any. My boobs have slightly grown. Not very noticeable.  I would recommend it."


"I have chronic constipation due to medications mainly my pain medications and I take miralax on occasion and it works but for me takes a full 3 days for it to kick in and get my bowels moving again.  I recommend taking this as soon as you get constipated for some it works as soon as 12 hours.  I've had no issues with Miralax and it works for me."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Helps with daytime alertness and ADD"


"Taking these pills was the best move I've ever made. Before I was on edge. Had horrible thoughts and was moody. I was anti-social. Wanted to stay home, and not associate with anybody. Now I go out, and have a normal 22 yr old life!!"


"I just had my skyla inserted yesterday. I've dealt with heavy bleeding for months on end for many years. After my latest ER visit to get more blood, I was recommended an IUD as a possible way to manage the bleeding. Beforehand I read several reviews about the insertion process and it made me extremely anxious about getting it in, so much so I asked my OB for a Valium for the procedure. I took half the Valium 30 min. before and then the second half 20 min. later. I was calmer but more conscious then I wanted to be to be honest haha. The process went by fast and not nearly as painful as I had come to expect. About a 3-4, just uncomfortable. My OB had given me a numbing shot, and I think it helped with the cramping. I only felt pressure."


"Best birth control in my opinion. I have tried several. Tiny pinch when they numbed it little sore for a couple days. 2 weeks in I started spotting for a month and now its been 9 months no cramps, weight loss, no mood swings and I have a light period for about 3 days a month."


"Brought my BCR ABL levels down where Gleevec and Sprycel didn't, at least for my specific situation.  I had to waste 9 months of treatment to find out Tasigna was the right medicine for me. Lucky I worked so hard to fight for it that is what it takes. Works great for ph  refractory on other medicines before transplant."


"Tried 10mg of Belsomra last night for the first time and had an awful experience.    This drug causes very concerning effects.    I am a 55 year old engineer and have struggled with insomnia for 6 months.    I had been taking Ambien  which I have become dependent on and want to get off so I tried Belsomra.    I do not take any other drugs at all..    About 3 hours after taking the Belsomra I finally fell asleep and had a very strange dream which I awoke from and experienced sleep paralysis.    It lasted 20 seconds or so and was terrifying.    I then fell asleep again,  did not dream and awoke 15 minutes later with the same paralysis experience.  I could not move my body but was I was awake.  I will never take this drug again."


"After having taken Nitrofurantoin for 10 days, the side effects occurred a few hours later.

First: hands itching, next day, itching under the armpits, and pubic area, saw no rash.

itching behind the ears, itching at center of hairline in the back, upper and lower back, front of neck, blisters on my right shoulder, a few hives on my back, chills, severe neuropathy in feet and hands(almost unbearable burning and itching. Rashes on my neck(in front), at the large chest area, above the breasts, chest pan on and of."


"I am Rxed this 6/day for neuropathy but on the side for anxiety too. In my opinion, if you have panic attacks, just stick to a benzodiazepine as if you're not taking long term, it's not bad. If you find Gabapentin to work, then take that but usually Gabapentin is given as a regimen for generalized anxiety. I've never had luck with Gabapentin but I would prefer someone take that for chronic anxiety than a benzo. However, don't let the med fool you... It can be a nightmare to get off of this med. Sometimes just as hard as benzo's. If you take this daily to prevent panic attacks but don't have panic attacks daily, I advise against this med. It's easy to build a tolerance too and constantly have to raise the dose. Not too effective."


"I have been taking this birth control and I can tell you that it is working for me. I used to take another birth control that made me always moody and depressed. But with this birth control I have been the same (actually even more relaxed). I was surprised when I saw so many people talking about the side effects because I've got almost none so far. Sometimes a little headache but that is it. My skin has been getting better and my boobs are also getting a little bigger so that's a plus. My weight has not changed but I am also very active. I hope this helps people to understand that any pill you take, will have a different effect on each individual."


"After researching various options with my gyn, I decided to try Lysteda.  I'm on my second month with it.  The first month saw HORRIBLE cramps barely controlled with Advil etc.  This month I had almost no cramps nor headaches.  I was pleasantly surprised when the flow was much lighter on day 2, normally like Niagara Falls for me.  But day 3 isn't really much lighter than it used to be, and my periods are longer.

Does it cut the flow?  Yes.  Does it make mine light?  No.  I still lose 2 ounces per hour or two during day 3, so I'll use it while I investigate other options."


"I had a full hysterectomy years ago, leaving one ovary. About a year ago I started having hot flashes, hair loss, feeling tired, etc. I went to my doctors and they ran blood work. We found out I had an underactive tyroid and was going through peri-menapause. I got on medication for my tyroid, but nothing for menapause. After a year of hot flashes and feeling like crap I went to my OBGYN yesterday.

He gave me Estradiol 1mg. You have to take this with food so we went to lunch after lunch about 11:30am I took my first pill, ever.  Last night I only turned the fan on once when it had been on full blast everynight for almost a year. Today, I've taken my 2nd pill ever and I haven't had not one hot flash and I feel a little more alert..."


"This I had been on for like 6 months and had no problems with at all. No real side effects, no change in sex drive, nor mood. Period was regular, heavy but always 4 days and always on time. I'm thinking of going back on it. Ovcon is just as good. "


"I was addicted to all opiates for 17 years. The last 2 years I was spending about $4000 a month. Made $60,000 a year and couldn't even pay my bills. It got real bad! A friend of mine told me about Suboxone and the rest is history! It truly saved my life. For the first time in my life I have money in a savings account. Suboxone works, as long as you want to quit."


"I was prescribed Linzess for chronic constipation which I have been dealing with for years. I was prescribed 145 Mg. The first day I took one it worked great. I continued taking them every day as prescribed but they weren't working. I read that there is a larger Mg so when I hadn't gone to the bathroom for a week I took 2. BIG MISTAKE!! It started with horrible stomach pains which continued for 13 hours without being able to have  a bowel movement. I was also vomiting. I had horrible heartburn too. I finally was able to go without warning all over the place. I had severe diarrhea for 5 hours. I mean severe!! Its been 2 days and I still don't feel well.I will go back to taking 1 and see what happens."


"Great for getting a good nights sleep without the hangover feeling the next day. Tried to stop taking it and had terrible withdrawals and didn't sleep for 3 nights. Will not try that again! Doesn't do much for the pain."


"I have used Cialis for over a year now at 20mg. Effects take much longer if taken with a meal containing much fat. It does last a good 3 days so you don't feel rushed to complete the act. Have noticed mild headaches the next day on more than one occasion after taking Cialis."


"I have lost 8.2 pounds with in the first 6 days. Prior to starting this sample kit it took me 4 weeks to loose 7 pounds. I take my injection at night and I have had very little nausea."


"On my second one! Total of 14 years with one. Whats not to love? Just have it placed and hormone free birth control for 10 years! Yes, 10 years without having to even think about pregnancy!"


"I went to the er for stomach cramping and tenderness after a bought of stomach flu. For some reason they used this instead of Zofran or Phenergan first. I had horrible side effects. Every muscle in my body spasmed to the point of nearly dislocating my jaw. It took a full 36 hours to leave my system. Benadryl helped, but did not reverse the effects. I was disoriented and screaming in pain only a few seconds after receiving it. Use caution. The side effects were not worth it."


"I have read many bad reviews on this treatment, so let me tell you my positive one.  I am early 60s, very active, slightly built and failed my bone density scan.  Did my research (very important) and found a fabulous young female rheumatologist.  After viewing all of my prior dexa scans we tried one Fosamax (I had been on Evista for four years prior due to healed multiple ulcers).  The Fosamax reaction was very bad but the gastric distress eased up finally.  We decided on the Reclast infusion. The injection was pleasant, the people great.  I went to work.  Had a headache for three days, took medicines for the headache but carried on my regular business.  This was one week ago. I feel great."


"Zoloft is not a good medicine for "severe" depression. I have OCD and that is what this medicine is best used for. It does help with the anxiety and the headaches that go along with it. It keeps the obsessive thoughts to a minimum. My compulsive need to make everything perfect is also gone. It makes you more social too. It has not made me gain weight. It is a good drug if used for OCD."


"I was prescribed Zoloft 10 years ago when I went through a very stressful experience and started having panic attacks & depression  I found Zoloft to be fantastic; a true 'happy pill'!  Within a month, life felt like living again, my panic attacks ceased, I was far better able to cope with my circumstances at the time, and I was able to stop taking it a few months later.  I took it again a year later on the advice of a doctor, who suggested it for my chronic irritable bowel syndrome; unfortunately it did not work for this condition.  However, I mistakenly stopped taking Zoloft suddenly instead of gradually reducing the dose, and began having severe hypnic jerks at night , which are a known side effect."


"Expensive but really helps with little or no side effects."


"I take it for sleep 100/200 mg at nite this is the only way  I can go to sleep I get 4 hrs of great sleep than I start waking up but the sleep is good if I wake up to early I take 50mg more"


"I've been on Wellbutrin XL for a few years and recently was switched to Wellbutrin SR. I felt an immediate difference. I was dizzy the first day but the 2nd day I was alert and calm. I've lost 10 pounds in the few weeks I've been on it which is good going from 150-140."


"Anxiety disorder and panic attacks run in my family.  I have loved this drug - I am a happy, calm, relaxed me.    I am so glad I have this tool to improve my life!"


"I have been on Vraylar 3mg for one week now. I am an ultra rapid cycling BP 1 with severe OCD and other issues. I rejected depakote due to my epileptic sister's weight gain so my doc decided to try me on Vraylar. I was supposed to have 1.5mg for one week before stepping up to 3mg. Unfortunately, I was in a bad place when I was there and left the samples behind. After my pharmacy called to have my Dr call the insurance company to verify it was medically necessary (oh boy, I AM a nutter butter) it was then ordered (only person in town on it? Oh goody.) and I took the first dose at bedtime. 6 hours later I felt like I had the worst tequila hangover ever. Fast forward one week and I am actually trying out the "feeling normal" thing I heard of."


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex around 11:30 p.m. on 12/3, and I was due to ovulate on 12/5. He claimed that he completely pulled out before he ejaculated, but I wasn't completely convinced. The next day, around 7:30 p.m. (20 hours after the act) I took a Plan B One-Step. Since I was so early in my cycle, I knew I would have to wait a while to see if it worked. I did not experience any symptoms until about a week later, when I started having sore boobs, headaches, and light brown spotting that lasted a couple days. I was due for my period on 12/21 and it came a day early on 12/20. For everyone out there worrying: STOP! If you took it within the suggested time frame, it WILL work!! Relax and let the pill do its job :)"


"I was about to call 911 first night due to the fire fire fire! I also used the cream that came with it to relieve the itching and now I am feeling worse. After reading all these comments I am afraid of taking the next two night treatments.  Afraid of what may happen later on tonight. There has to be a number or something to call and report this."


"I've been on Depo-Provera for about 6 weeks now. As for my period it's been amazing. I haven't gotten my period once and I've gotten spotting once and it last around 2 seconds. Unfortunetly about once a week I get excruciating migraines to the point where I can't see. Also I am having such bad hair loss I'm starting to get worried. I'm also finding some foods I love, are making me nauseous and I've became slightly claustrophobic. The worst of all though are my constant mood swings. I am constantly mad over nothing at my boyfriend. Almost every other day I seem to get really mad out of no where.  It's like I'm not myself. Depression isn't really an issue but it comes with my mood swings. I also have no sex drive whatsoever."


"Have it every 6 weeks but after 5 weeks I get very sore just below my shoulders, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes center. I go on Tylenol when I can't take the pain."


"I have taken oxybutynin for many years and have been happy with the result. Recently I had a Uti and was on antibiotics.  Now I am having problems urinating, I am now on Flomax to start the urine pathway, I stopped the oxybutynin for a short time and plan to go back to it when I feel better."


"Do not use this product!!!!!  I failed to adhere to my paranoid addiction (per husband) of researching products before use! I developed a yeast infection (side effect) of my diabetes medication. I purchased  MONISTAT 1  yesterday, since it seemed to be the quickest solution to eliminate the itching. Wellll..to my dismay it was the opposite. I inserted the ovule and immediately applied the cream. The burn from the cream was so severe, I wiped it off immediately with some feminine wash and applied Allegra
cream which provided some relief. Excruciating pain, burning and itching all night and today until 1 hr ago when I douche that c**p out with ACV and warm water. Feeling a lot better, still extremely red and swollen."


"I've had it for a year and a half. My periods are much better. But recently I've been bleeding for two weeks straight, very strange, but I do work with all girls... Why I rated it a 3 is because I gained 60 pounds. That is so depressing for a woman. I've tried every healthy diet, diet pills, working out. Eating all organic non processed foods. EVERYTHING. I am now depressed about my weight. I'm on Wellbutrin an antidepressant which helps a lot with my all day uncontrollable hunger. It feels like I'm high all day long...the hunger never ends. I am an athlete and I live a healthy lifestyle. I can't even drink because of the antidepressants. So I'm actually at my gyno right now about to get this thing out of me! I recommend the pill over this."


"i tried it for two months and since day 1 I  suffered from major mood swings and low energy. I had frequent headaches and just felt depressed. I never felt like myself. But I just thought I had to put up with it so my body can get use to it but I couldn't handle it by month 2. Just pay attention to how you feel. None the less I  switched to another birth control pill. And feel great."


"When they switched me to Norco I had to deal with more pain.  The medication is half as effective and makes me sick to my stomach many times.  GOV'T doesn't care about the people with real pain more concerned with the drug addicts (which more people are becoming because they can't get the pain relief they need.)"


"I've been on this pill for about 3 months now. I suffer from PCOS so my periods are very irregular.. sometimes I miss 3-4 months straight. This pill hasn't exactly given me a normal period. Its mostly just old blood (the brown stuff) and lasts about 3-4 days.

It has made me feel nauseous; gain weight; and lots of acne which I never had before. It's so upsetting. I will be changing to a different pill soon."


"I had asked my gastroenterologist about the Miralax-Gatorade prep but he immediately shot it down and said that it does not do a good job cleaning out the colon and his preferred prep was Suprep. After reading many of the experiences shared on this site, I mixed the first dose last night and hoped for the best...and it wasn't bad at all! Yes, the mix tastes like weak grape soda mixed with salt water but using cold water to prepare it cut the taste. After the mix was consumed, I chewed minty gum while drinking the 32oz of plain water and was in the bathroom within 45 minutes, stayed about 2 hours, was able to go to bed, get up and shower and take the second dose this morning. Result: clean colon and A-OK colonoscopy this morning!"


"Intense hot flashes all day and night. By the time one started to go away another started."


"I found this medication to be helpful with getting some sleep! Which is the worst part of opiate withdrawal to me. It also helps with the aches you get that feel like they're in your bones! It was a really big help especially in getting me over that 1 to 2 week hump! The most vital part of the withdrawal experience!"


"Worse antibiotic I have ever taken. This is the first time I've ever take an antibiotic and felt worse than the infection."


"I had Implanon inserted in January of 08. I have had such a terrible experience with it. For the last year and half I have had my period for a total of roughly 8 months (that's a combined total not a constant total). I chose Implanon because I was terrible at remembering to take my pills on time. I do have to add though, I am very jealous of those women who are having a wonderful experience with it!"


"I started Xulane after Implanon and the NuvaRing. I had severe weight gain and depression on implanon and some moodiness and breakthrough bleeding on NuvaRing.
I've been on Xulane for one month so far and I absolutely love it! I alternate from my abdomen to my butt every month and it doesn't even budge or begin to peel off - it sticks!
The only bothersome thing about it is a began to break out a little more - i've always had acne problems but these have been more cystic acne than usual. It seems to be calming down though. Also, I get a lot of fuzz stuck the the adhesive on the patch itself, so I just pick it off if it gets to be noticeable.
Best of all - my period pain has been non-existent and my periods very light."


"I started on Lexapro about a week ago, and I'll give an update later but so far... WOW! Let me begin by adding that I'm pregnant in my 3rd trimester and I've had PTSD, severe anxiety, and depression for several years now.

I heard a lot of warnings about the first few weeks, the side effects that may occur, and might I just say I'm lucky enough to have only one of them. That side effect being dry mouth which only lasts about an hour or 2 after taking it.

I take 50mg of Lexapro every night before bed and I feel so much better already. The tension I had previously felt In my chest is gone and I feel like I imagine a normal personal is supposed to feel. I used to be scared to go check my mail, but now I have no problems in public."


"I have taken tranzadone off and on for 13 years.  Having a lot of stress in my life I couldnt fall asleep. It puts me to sleep in a half hour and I sleep through the night.  I have been able to not take it and have no

problems coming off.  I have Generalized Anxiety and when it acts up tranzadone helps with the sleep issues. I honestly don't know what I would have done without it.  It is also very inexpensive."


"I have had migraines since my teenage years and am currently 49 years old. I sometimes go for long periods of time with no migraines, but then I can have migraine and accompanying neck pain that goes on for 2 days or more.

I've been on Fiorinal, then Fioricet, and just recently, Maxalt.

Recently, I asked my Dr about having a different medication that would be legal to take to Europe, as Fioricet is banned in at least some, if not all, countries in Europe. Since another Dr had previously tried prescribing Maxalt, he had me try this.

It WORKS. I find it works better and faster than other meds, and I don't feel woozy when taking it.

Tricare allows 18 pills per 45 day period before another refill."


"I have been taking Acyclovir for almost 2 years now. I believe it to work because I've only had 1 outbreak in the 2 years. I was given the option to take 200mg every 4 hours. (equals 5 a day) for 5 days when an outbreak occurs or to take everyday but I have only taken for the 1 outbreak."


"Had to take Mylan-Clindamycin 300 mg for 7 days for a tooth infection and the first couple of days it made me very nauseous then by the 4th day it gave me extremely bad stomach pains which I've later found out that the medication gave me stomach ulcer which is extremely painful when I eat or even drink water. I highly recommend not using this antibiotic."


"After 3 weeks on Ampyra I have recovered feeling and function in my left hand, after ten years. I have resumed seating, after decades. And a permanent brain fog has listed. My walking and balance are better, though I still use a walker. I consider it a miracle and feel mentally reborn. "


"I got this birth control a year and a half ago, for the first year it was great no period or anything did have some

Weight gain... About 15 Pounds and it hurts in my arm and took away my sex drive, after a year I stared having my period monthly and they would last TWO WEEKS or more. It made me extremely irratble and moody and now I have to take the pill and have the bar in to regulate my period which didn't help my moodiness what so ever. I feel like I'm constantly hungry and I'm active in the gym and feel like I haven't lost any weight over an  8 month period. I do not recommend this to anyone"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency

"I am taking this vitamin and I have had no side effects."


"I've been on contrave for six weeks, I've lost a total of 7lbs since I started the contrave. I've lost 120lbs in the last ten months, so I'm not sure I'd give much credit to the medication for the 7lbs lost, the 7lbs in six weeks is significantly less then my prior months weight loss. I'm on a low carb diet , and do HIIT workouts   strength training 2-4 times a week. When I started contrave I was very nauseous, constipated , and had a very weird emotional feelings , I was sad and had emailed my doctor for instructions on how to stop contrave, she told me to give the medicine more time and over the next couple weeks my side effects were gone.. Still, I don't think its worth the money, and its hard to credit the medication for my losses."


"I've been suffering from acne since i was 12. At age 28 I would have thought it would diminished. No such luck. My biggest problems were blackheads that continuously popped up on the sides of my face and moderate blemishes that emerged. A breakout would start and take months to heal. The blackheads NEVER went away though. I tried everything over the counter even splurged on really expensive products. Nothing ever worked and I finally went to the NP who prescribed me this. I have to admit my expectations were low considering the mediocre reviews. I am now a month in and my skin has changed DRASTICALLY. My once never healing & constantly occurring blackheads are now 80% gone. Very few blemishes compared to before. This has changed my life!"


"I have had migraines since I was a child. Tired of living in pain and having many imobilizing days, at 24 years old I finally sought treatment. I have been taking Amitriptyline for a year, starting at 15mg once every night before bed which did not seem to manage them very well, then increasing to 75mgs before bed. It has worked wonders in managing my migraines. I went from 4 migraines a week to now once a week. I will be returning to Dr. to figure out the next step since I have been a year in overall peace but still have the constant one a week. Only side effect I have noticed is slight weight gain but nothing serious. Amitriptyline has been an enormous aid in my migraine prevention and I am extremely glad to have given it a chance."


"Works really well, but I also had some side effects."


"I have taken Zyprexa 2.5 with Zoloft for years and couldn't function without this combination. It was prescribed because the Zoloft just didn't take care of the insomnia and mood swings.  Zyprexa 2.5 has been a God-send."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I finished full 10 days of that medicine, doctor did not tell me about anything about probiotics, so right after taking Pylera I have some issues with my bowel movement, had constipation for a while, did colonoscopy and still can not figure out what is wrong with me. Having constant pain under left rib, doing more tests going from family doctor to gastroenterologist. I would recommend, before taking Pylera medication, do a deep research on side effects, because with bad bacteria, your colon's good bacteria gets killed as well as bad once. "

"I have suffered nearly every side effect possible from Jolessa. I am 23 and my acne is now worse than it was during high school, and that is with daily acne medication! I have some days with no appetite, and other days where I throw up every time I eat. I have light to heavy bleeding every day, and cramping at least every few days. I also have really bad vaginal pain and itching. If having your period 4 times a year apparently doesn't harm your body, I don't know how this is supposed to be normal. Switching as soon as possible."


"I have had mirena now for just over 6 months for adenomyosis and anaemia caused by heavy bleeding. I am 50 and hoping it gets me thru to menopause. I was offered this 15 years ago but kept saying no. But in the end pain and bleeding I gave in and thought I would try before a hysterectomy. I had put in under a general with a d & c performed. Woke no pain at all a bit of spotting for about 6 weeks. Sore breasts first 2 months and mood swings. I have noticed a 1kg weight gain but that's no much. I do tend to gain fluid each month in lower abdominal area when I think I am suppose to have a period. Libido has gone and struggling to orgasm too. Unsure if I like it or not not much other alternative out there. I also are having lots of constipation"


"Awesome."


"AUBAGIO was very easy to take. That was the only perk of this medication.

It did not help any of my symptoms or prevent any relapses.

It caused extreme bowel upset for months and I lost over 3/4 of my hair. It's side effects said hair THINNING not hair LOSS. I had extreme hair LOSS. When I called to talk to someone all they wanted to tell me were the statistics from their studies. They had zero interest in documenting the real world results and my issues. They had zero desire to help me either. Just kept telling me it would get better. If I would have stayed on the medication I would be bald.

I was extremely disappointed in the help (or lack there of)."


"I've been taking Morphine Sulfate IR 15 mg for Two yrs now. It gives me 80% relief I have 2 herniated disk and degenerative disk disease. I'm on disability. I can at least walk for longer than 10 minutes now. I know I should be on something a bit stronger but here in Michigan doctors a very reluctant to prescribe due to those who abuse! "


"Perfect for severe up upper back muscle pain and spasms.  I could barely stand by the end of a typical work day. Flexeril has made it possible to work and be more comfortable and able to enjoy life.  Only side effects I've noticed is slight irritability, dry mouth, and only drowsiness when taken in a large dose or at the end of the day.

Dosage is 10mg x 3 times daily.   Usually one on my first work break, then 2 on my last break.  Typically takes 1.5 hours to 2 hours to kick in so the timing is perfect.   Able to enjoy life again, besides being stuck in be all the time."


"I was on the Nuva ring from 18-20. I took a break from it and went on the mirena. Now I am back on Nuva ring and it was nothing like I had experienced the first time. CRAZY PMS. Tender breasts, weight gain, mood swings where I don't even recognize myself. I don't know why I all of the sudden am having negative side affects with this medication when I didn't before. The only plus is, my periods are really lighter. But honestly, I think I'm done with it. Worst birth control experience I've had. Not a fan of the crazy."


"I gained a few pounds on the Depo shot but that wasn't too bad. Was on it for 2 years. The first 1 1/2 years were great, although I had a decreased sex drive and the shots left my arm sore for days. Had about 1 week long period just before getting the next shot, so about every 3 months. Bled almost constantly the last 6 months."


"I have been on Trazodone for over 7 years.  My doctor precribed this to me to help me get a good nights sleep because my fibro wouldn't let me sleep through the night.  It isn't intended to help with fibro pain, just to help fall asleep and stay asleep.  I have had to up the dosage over the years but I have no major side effects, except dry mouth.  I can't possibly sleep without it.  I also figured out that if I work out (my fibro is in my shoulders and neck) and exhaust those muscles so that they are too tired to burn, my symptoms are kept a bay."


"My last post was taken down. Been on this for a few months. Honestly we have to stop changing medicine that works, just because of the small percentage that abuse these drugs.
Side effects, dizzy, nausea, severe headaches, which I never had before. I feel numb to the world, tired, and still in pain. Also found out that long term effects of this drug have still not been studied, and there is a euphoric blocker in these, that stops you from experiencing well being. I get it, the well being is what addicts crave, but for people in chronic pain, well being is a good pain reliever, as moods effect our pain.  The medication is suppose to last 12 hours, they don't, they last about 5-6 hours, it also only takes the edge off the pain."


"Started out with mild gas, then went to intestinal pain, bloating and diarrhea."


"I have been on Tegretol for 15 years and it definitely controls the hypomania and rapid cycling, though not the depression so well.  It sort of leaves you feeling flat, but I had tried lithium, Depakote, and a few of the atypical antipsychotics and they were too heavy duty or left me with extreme weight gain.  When I went on Tegretol I have 50 pounds of extra weight from Depakote....it came off within 4 months.  I am not thin now, as I have gotten older, but I suppose it is still the drug for me.  At this stage of the game I don't feel like trying other meds as I have to work and function.  I also take a small dose of Lamictal too."


"I've read many are having nausea and headache with contrave. I've had a headache but it didn't last long. The med is working as my Dr told me it would. It helps with cravings. I take two around 11 am after I've eaten a healthy breakfast. That dosage kicks in a couple of hours later which keeps me from cravings in the afternoon. I then take two more around 4pm these stop those dreaded night cravings.
One must eat healthy and not expect a drug to take pounds off miracously. I've lost 3 lbs since beginning them 13 days ago. I'm very happy with these results."


"I notice it takes away anxiety but leaves me a little foggy  -It's a great nerve pain reliever for my back"


"I was prescribed this for vulvodynia after seeing 2 gynecologists with no clue what "disease" I "had". My third gynecologist put me on 25mg each night, after a year of experiencing excruciatingly painful intercourse for no apparent reason. After just 2 weeks, Amitriptyline successfully took away the pain! I'm so thankful for my gyno's knowledge of this drug and her shot into the dark on prescribing me this, despite it rarely being prescribed in an OBGYN clinic!"


"I have been on Sprintec for seven months now and I haven't had any problems with it. It regulates my periods, and my period only lasts for 2-3 days. I have actually lost weight while being on Sprintec. It all depends on your body though so don't worry about the bad reviews because if it doesn't work for you it will work for someone else."


"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."


"The only good thing about this implant was that it prevented pregnancy but whats the point of that when I don't even have the desire for sex. I was so confused because things in my life were going so well, I was going to therapy and improving my mental health. However throughout the 6 months on it my mental health declined as well as my sex drive and I started to get very anxious and thinking everyone was out to get me. I felt like an alien when I talked to people, I distanced myself from everyone. I had it out two days ago and I can already feel that I'm feeling better, I can't tell if this is in my mind or the hormone starting to leave but my sex drive has definitely started to improve. There's a lot more  want to say but theres no space"


"I have had intermittent knee pain since I was a teenager.  I am now 44 and a few years ago the knee pain began preventing me from running.  I had my first Synvisc-One injection about a year ago.  After reading about the studies online, which show mixed results, I was not expecting this to work but I thought it was worth a try.  The procedure itself was only mildly uncomfortable.  For about a week after my knee felt more irritated than usual...not terrible though.  About a week later..no pain, lasted 4 months. Then the pain returned.  My doc had me wait 6 months, and I had a 2nd injection.  This one irritated my knee for a few weeks and I was afraid it had made it worse but after 3 weeks...pain free.  Again lasted 4 months."


"I had been on other birth controls before switching to this one. Every other birth control made me very moody and just out of it all the time. I've now been on sprinted for almost 3 years and have not had a single problem with it. In fact my periods are lighter, my mood is elevated and my skin has even improved. I would not rule out sprintec because of the negative reviews. Everyone is different, as are their hormones. I would recommend Sprintec over any other birth control. However if you do have problems with it, than switch birth controls until you find one that works for you. As I said before I had been on 4 different birth controls with extremely negative side effects, however I have not had a single issue since switching to Sprintec."


"I take 200 mgs at night, it lets me sleep and calms down my mind. It also helps with my eczema and nasal congestion. Warning!!!Do not take this drug if u had or have any heart problems!!!"


"Very good muscle relaxer. I've tried the others and they don't work. Can't drive while taking but can't drive with muscle spasms either. I really like this medcine, it works great and almost no side effects/ Does make me a bit sleepy."


"When I first started this medication it was OK ,I was never told this medicine cause memory loss. It's really bad, I can't remember at times if I took my medicine and places I have been going all my life I can't remember how to get there. Please be aware!!!"


"I was on Effexor which worked great until I went up to 150mgs and I got severe night sweats and dipped into a deep depression. My Dr. switched me to Viibryd, I was skeptical not ever hearing the name. I am almost finished with the starter pack as I am tapering off of Effexor. Everything is going great, my mood feels very stable and I don't have severe moments of hopelessness. However, since starting the 40mg dose, I have had severe insomnia and if I fall asleep I can't stay asleep for more than an hour or two. I'll be calling my doctor and hopefully going back down to 20mg. My only fear is that while I was taking 20mg of Viibryd, I was still taking a low dose of Effexor and now that I'm not, I'm afraid I won't have the same results on 20 mg."


"This product works wonders. Had unprotected sex after I had missed a few of my birth control pills. My period arrived at its usual time of the month, and it was not a heavier or lighter flow than usual...just normal. I did experience some bad pains and nausea in my stomach for about 6 hours after taking the pill. I also threw up two days later out of no where. Other than that, it did what it's supposed to do."


"I was stuck at the same weight for over 2 weeks. I was working out over 60 min a day. I decided to try Fastin and within days started losing weight again. I have been taking it for 5 weeks and have lost 10 lbs. That's good enough to get my approval. It really helps me not be hungry throughout the day. And gives a noticeable increase in energy. I have noticed some jitteriness about 1 hr after taking it. But it does not last long and to me is worth the weight loss."


"I got all 5 shots about 4 months ago.  I had relief from pain for about 2 weeks, now my knee hurts as much as it did before the shots."


"I started using doxycycline tablets around 1 month ago for my comadonal acne/pustules. During the first week, I did not think it would work and actually got even more breakouts, I almost gave up. After that it was amazing, The inflammation reduced significantly and the redness almost completely stopped. I recommend a regimen including Retin-A topical cream 0.1%, Doxycycline tablets and Cerave Moisturizer along with any cleanser you choose. I recommend taking the tablet with food and water to reduce bloating and nausea. Take as prescribed. The regimen and doxycycline should work on regular-oily skin type. I hope this helps, check out the other items in the regimen. Thanks guys!!!!"


"I started taking Tramadol 50 mg twice daily - due to disc extrusion and severe leg pain.

I am now on 200 mg in the morning and another 200 mg at dinner time.

I would not be able to get out of bed if I did not take Tramadol, its an amazing difference it made also on my leg pain.

Some side effects are, headaches and drowsiness"


"From the second dose of the medicine, I started having terrible heartburn, stomach burning and nausea. The side effects out-weighed any benefits for me."


"I gave it a 2 star rating. 1 star more than I planned and that's because it worked but too many side affects that were exasperating to deal with.  It lowered my blood sugar and I was having to constantly combat the affects. Headaches, aches and pains, and lastly constipation.  I didn't have a bm for 4 straight days.  I usually have 1/day."


"Been on Depakote for 6 months and gained 30 pounds, now with the disorder I worry about my weight like crazy.  I also take Geodon which has slowed me down with NO motivation at all.  Beginning to wonder if it's all worth it.  I do notice I never want to argue with anyone at work and at home I'm quiet 24/7.  "


"This was my first birth control ever, so at the time I didn't have anything to compare it to. Looking back, it was a pretty bad experience. I have problem skin, and this drug gave me pretty extreme hormonal acne around my jawline that only got worse overtime.Please be careful if you have past experience with acne or if you notice the acne isn't going away!!! I got acne scars that are just now fading. I also noticed that it nearly completely killed my sex drive and put me in a generally depressive state. It might work for some people, but I urge you to try multiple types of birth control before you settle for one, because something you take everyday should not leave you with such bad side effects."


"I get frequent yeast infections and while I usually go to a doctor I decided to save some time and get monistat. DO NOT EVER USE THIS PRODUCT. I inserted it and immediately felt like I dumped gasoline in my vagina and lit it on fire. I was in tears from the itching and burning and had to flush it out. I am calling the FDA about this product because it is unsafe. I followed up and saw a doctor two days later and they found burn marks that were bleeding along with my yeast infection. Stay safe and if you are reading this and it has happened to you, call the FDA!!"


"In my experience this medication is pretty good but the only problem I have is, it makes me itch. My pharmacist says its not an allergy because I don't have a rash. I have found, if I take it soon enough after pain starts, it does pretty good at controlling it."


"Decent. Little to no side effects. Helped with a really nasty depression, but keep forgetting to take it, so may not be doing entirely what it's supposed to. Oops! But no weird effects from forgetting it."


"When I was 13 I had horrible acne and a little over weight. After I took Yasmin for a complete month my acne was just about completely gone and after a couple more months I even lost a few pounds!! I did experience anxiety, but from reading some reviews about Yasmin if you take a multivitamin your symptoms will go away including your sex drive problem caused by the pill. I haven't taken Yasmin for about a few weeks so that I could give my body a rest but I want my Yasmin back!"


"I've been using Retin-A for two months. I was concerned about some mild signs of photoaging of the skin (surface wrinkles, uneven texture), blackheads on my nose and enlarged pores.

Retin-A has done wonders for my skin: it's texture is more even and although the blackheads and enlarged pores aren't completely gone, they've improved considerably.

If you have these concerns, I definitely recommend using this product - but you have to be patient."


"Been on it since 2013. Has been very effective especially against the awful fatigue and has decreased the pain dramatically."


"Nucynta improves my quality of life.  I am able to get many things done around the house, coach my baseball team, live normally without having to lay in bed for hours/days due to the pain in my lower back.

I am disappointed that my back is getting worse, but very pleased that this medicine has given me a better quality of life.  My kids love that I can even jump on the trampoline with them.

Thank you Nucynta chemists!"


"Also I forgot to mention in a previous review that timing is the key to these types of drugs. 1.5 hours is the time it takes to work for me but may vary with different people. Sometimes I get to my night class early and take a Klonopin well in advance so I wont be under the influence when I'm driving to class. Basically you have to experiment at first with the timing to get a feel of works best for you."


"My husband had Hep C Genotype 1a. He is 57. We got the diagnosis 5 years ago. They think he has had this for at least 25 years. He got a tattoo our in Sturgis at a raunchy bar. No needle use. That being said, he wasn't a good candidate for previous treatment until Zepatier came along. We were so happy and grateful this medication came along and covered by our insurance. After 2 week's his viral load was at 0 and his blood work was normal with all liver tests. He had severe joint pain while taking  this medication. He has been off of zepatier for two weeks now, he feels worse than he ever had in his life. Severe fatigue, weakness, no appetite, joint pain and depression. I can honestly tell you, he would not have taken this medication."
