"I suffer from anxiety and I've tried a lot of medicines that just destroyed my stomach. I also have a "sensitive" stomach. Along with a phobia of vomiting. So add that up and stir in insomnia, makes for a very unhappy me. Vistaril has helped with the nervous stomach aches, the anxiety induced vomiting, and my anxiety while helping my Lunesta be more effective. This medicine is awesome."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been on Pradaxa for about six months.  What a change; more energy, NO ITCHING.  I wish I had never had to take warfarin.  I have had some problems with gas, but find if I drink more liquid when taking the medication it is better.  My only concern is my doctor telling me of concern regarding heart attacks.  From what I was told, there is a study being done."


"This pill is effective never had any problem."


"I woke up from surgery with tremors in my hands. It was diagnosed as Essential Tremors. I was an Computer Science teacher who could no longer control a mouse, write etc. I retired. Last Spring, while vacationing in Naples FL, I searched for and found a "Temporary" Primary Care Doctor. I prepared a listing of all my physicians, my conditions (including essential tremors), my prescriptions, and my over the counter medications. The doctor covered all the items on the list and asked me what I was taking for the Essential Tremors. The answer of nothing surprised him, He told me that I should take a low dose of Primidone. From his input, my Primary Care Doctor prescribed a 50 mg dose at night. Instant cure! I wrote my name the next morning!"


"I took Plan B exactly 36 hours afterwards. I was ovulating when everything went down and I was so scared that I had waited too long to take Plan B. After 9 painfully long (but symptom free) days I got my period. Much heavier than usual, but no complaints from me! My advice to all who were as stressed as me, wait it out. Eat healthy, exercise to jumpstart your period, and try your best to stay calm!"


"After reading these comments, I feel better knowing I'm not the only one having the terrible itching. I'm on day 3 of using monistat 7 and the itching from the medicine is ridiculous!!! It's been 45min and is still itchy. To make the situation worse, the tube that you have to insert hurts to insert because of its shape.  I've tried Apple cider vinegar, currently taking a probiotic, using summer eve wipes, and summer eve wash. Deciding to use M7 was a huge mistake. Can't wait for these 7 days to be over with and to have some sort if relief."


"I got the Mirena inserted 3 weeks ago this Friday. The insertion was quick but slightly painful, the cramps started right after and were really bad for the first week. After I got cramps every day just during the late afternoon for some reason. The cramps stopped about a week ago. I am still spotting. I think once I stop spotting I will be happy with the product. I've been super emotional as well."


"I had my Mirena implanted on April 12th of this month. The exam was uncomfortable, the measuring part was a little painful and the actual implant was the easiest. Didn't even feel it! I had to ask was it in. Cramped a little that night and went to work the next morning.
Noticed some spotting with more cramping. Nothing that stopped or slowed me down at work though. However after about 48 hours of having the implant I began to feel nauseous. And the following day I felt mean one minute, and normal the next. Mood swings!
Ok so I can deal with all of that. But I noticed my stomach began to bulge out of nowhere. I mean my son is 7 months old and I'd did pretty good with losing my baby weight. Now I look pregnant! "


"I have been using Alli for a month.  I take it three times a day along with exercise about 3 days a week by walking and running.  I started out weighing 222 and now I am down to 215 and shrinking.  IT WORKS!!  I have tried so many weigh loss pills and this is the only one I have used that actually works.  At first it worried me to see the oil substance in my stool but I quickly learned it was my body fat residue leaving my body.  I feel great and I will continue using the product.  My advice is not to rely on any product to loose weight.  Use the product but get off your lazy butt and exercise and eat right and by doing so with this product you will achieve results."


"Before I started taking Tekturna HCT, my blood pressure was in the 175/100 range.  I have been on Tekturna HCT for 6 months now and my blood pressure has dropped to the 140/70 range.  I have had absolutely zero side effects."


"If I could give this patch a 0 rating I would , had the patch on for just over 24 hours and I started to feel sick then the next morning I was throwing up but nothing coming out because I hadn't eaten since last night , doctor said this would go usually after 3 months and I wasn't prepared to keep it on for that long and be feel sick everyday , it also made me very anxious and I'd only had it on for a little time , never again. Also it wasn't that sticky even after 24 hours it was falling off slightly"


"Very effective for me with both nausea and diarrhea.  Works well at preventing vomiting, in my experience."


"I was given the Tylenol w/ Codeine #4 (300/60mg) tabs to use as an extra pain medication for the pain I had in my ankle from the screws about 3 months after my surgery. The Tylenol #4 didn't even make a dent in the pain relief. And in fact 600mg of Advil helped far more effectively then the Tylenol #4"


"My son & I have year round allergies, and my son's asthma (he's 14) is exacerbated by nasal congestion. I tried everything! Some stuff worked ok, some not at all, but this product is like a miracle.  We don't suffer AT ALL from allergies now, and my son's asthma is improved as a result as well. Try it and see. I bet you'll love it."


"Was given Xarelto in hospital and released. Two days later I was back in the hospital with lung pain and more blood clots. This medicine did not work on me."


"Diagnosed with Flu Virus A. - This was the sickest I have ever been in my life. I felt like I was dying with all the major symptoms. My wife took me to the doctor for diagnoses and a prescription. Within 24 hours I'm over 50% better. This is unbelievable.  Today hour to hour I have been feeling better and better.  - Side affect is loose stool but I don't care! I don't feel like I'm dying anymore."


Aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"This works every single time on my migraines.  I try fioricet first, and if that doesn't work, I take one of these.  The downside is that I can't drive after I take one, because I can feel the codeine kick in.  I take them about once a month, but when I have to take this, it works better than anything else I've tried."


"I started taking copaxone in 2001, after trying avonex for 3 weeks with bad flu like symptoms. I began copaxone 20 mg once a day, it's been 16 yrs now with minimal side effects, compared to the exacerbations.
 I miss aprox 1 injection a week, on average due to it not injecting. I have not had a major attack in 16 yrs. I rarely ever use my cane. Once last year I caught the flu and had bad MS related symptoms. When I was 21 I had optic neuritis, @ 28 I became at least 90 percent paralyzed from my waist down  and was told I would be in a wheel chair by 50. After this l quit smoking, drinking and any non medicinal drug, I began working out etc.The answer to me is the opposite to burning the candle at both ends & a positive outlook."


"I've been on the NuvaRing now for two years. As a birth control medicine and ease of use, I give it a 10, because I've had no pregnancies and just set a reminder on my phone. I'm giving it zero stars for my quality of life. It has caused dryness during sex so much that I've developed vaginal fissures and the dryness has made my sex life with my husband non-existent. I also have no libido to speak of when before it was healthy. I'm looking into getting the Paragard inserted because even if that gives me heavy periods at least I'd get my vagina back."


"This is an awful medication and I recommend it to anyone. Went to the ER for stomach pain to find out I had a bad UTI. Took 1 pill that the doc gave me and was completely fine. Took the next pill 12 hours later, with some saltine crackers and a bottle of water. 4 hours later, I was shakey, nauseated thought I was going to throw up, my heart rate sped up, I had a fever (did go down with ibuprofun), had a minor rash on my cheeks, headache. Now marks 6 hours after taking it. laying down with towel over head, took benedryl to help with rash. Nausea has eased some, heating pad helps, rash is not as red. Going back to ER tomorrow for a different medicine. I'd rather take Amoxicilian, never have any reactions with that."


"I've been on this medication for about a month, and it's been a mix of good and bad for me.
The good:
- no babies
- cleared up my acne
- bigger fuller breasts :3
- I've had IBS my entire life, and this has nearly completely done away with my symptoms. Bizarre but appreciated.
- I struggle with depressive feelings, and there were two days while on this medication that I genuinely felt really good. It was better than being on an SRI. Not a big deal for some, but this was huge to me.

The bad:
- overall increased depression and anxiety. I have a pretty bad case of social anxiety as it is, but on this medication I worry constantly.
- decreased libido. This might be due to my mood.

I'm looking into switching to something else."


"This medicine works wonderfully. Be careful when applying because the top will pop off if you squeeze too hard. The only downside is that it burns like crazy after the 3rd application or so."


"I'm on the 10th week of my first 3 month cycle. So far this pill seems quite good other then spotting which stopped once I started taking it within the same 5 minutes every day. I recently had spotting again which my Dr advised to take 2 pills daily for 3-5 days until it stopped. It now stopped completely. I did have period cramps after 2 months which should have  been my period timing. I also have a huge increase in appetite but I'm not sure if it's from the pill or just from switching my job to part time and being home more.
I plan to continue using this for a while"


"I've been taking Vyvanse for about 2 years. It DOES help me concentrate in school, but the concentration comes at a cost. I feel zombie-fied and extremely anxious, even jittery at times but I don't feel hyper. Vyvanse also makes me feel really cold all the time."


"Effective. No side effect so far."


"I started Phentermine 37.5mg on 3/7/17  didn't work for me. I didn't feel any side effects I felt very hungry. 2 weeks after I was going through separation and was still taking the pill but due to my depression I didn't want to eat at all. Maybe I would have a shake a day and something very small. I told my doctor and gave me Adipex instead and some depression medication. So I will post how it goes. I will start them tomorrow 4/10/17"


"I was prescribed to use this product every 4 hours it helps me especially in the morning and during the day"


"acne acne acne acne acne. If you have acne prone skin like me please DO NOT take this medication. Make sure you are on something that is MEANT for acne (yasmin, yaz, ortho tri cyclen, sprintec, etc) as microgestin is not specifically meant for acne and can actually make your skin worse. I did not know any of this before taking this birth control, so i let my doctor put me on what he called a "generic" pill that many people take. I could definitely see this pill working for an average individual with non acne-prone skin, however, this was not the case for me. My body never "adjusted" to the hormones as my gyno said and my breakouts just got worse and worse until i finally decided to stop taking it (9 months in) and my acne finally cleared."


"I'm writing this review just to ease the conscience of some of you out there but trust me this pill works. I've had a to take plan B and this pill and they both did the job. Granted with Plan B I had less side effects but this pill I took 12 hours after having unprotected sex. I wasn't at my most fertile time of the month so that probably lessened my chances even more of getting pregnant but I took it just to make sure. Right after I took it I was extremely exhausted and took a really long nap. The other side effect I had was cramping and an occasional headache but nothing too bad. I actually ended up getting my period a day early but the cramps were excruciating. Other than that I was fine. The earlier you take it the better ladies"


"Pain with the injection"


"Horrible! I've been on methadone maintenance for 2 years and the past 8 months my bowels have stopped. I've used every laxative you can imagine and finally got the courage to see my doctor. He gave me samples of Movantik, I read nothing but bad reviews but desperate for relief I took one 25mg tablet and about 2 hours later it threw me into precipitated withdrawals. Sweats chills and everything else, sad part is I didn't even get a bowel movement. I don't suggest this medicine for anyone it's garbage!"


"I've been taking depo-provera since May 21, 2012. I haven't had a period since but very light spotting from time to time. This my 3rd year on birth control and after my last shot on July 21 I've been bleeding uncontrollably. I don't know what's wrong but its literally making me feel sick. Light headed due to low iron. I don't know if I should stay on it or not."


"I've been on the Depo shot for about 9 months. I decided along with my doctor to get the Shot because i have what is called bacterial vaginosis, cysts on my ovaries and also constant yeast infections. It has seemed to help with all of the above reasons of why I initially started the shot. On the shot i have experienced horrific migraines, nausea, extreme mood swing, severe depression and high levels of anxiety. I also spot monthly and for the first two months i bled heavily. I am actually going back to the doctor to switch to either a different birth control or to completely get off of BC. I hope this helps ya'll!"


"For YEARS, I've been scared about getting an IUD.  I have sensitivities to metals and plastics. I've been talking birth control pills for close to 15 years. I'm 32 with no children and started getting migraines with aura because of birth control pills. I reluctantly made the decision to get skyla. The measuring and insertion is the most excruciating pain I've ever felt however it was maybe 30 seconds for each. Afterwards I had some pressure and an uncomfortable feeling inside my vagina. Also, felt like I needed to poop something out for an hour but....that was it. Totally worth it so far."


"Been taking this medicine for two weeks. I noticed I'm really itchy, my stomach is so sick, headaches, and I'm very tired. I hope it gets better."


"I had been off birth control for about 3 years after a horrible experience with Loestrin 24 Fe. I was terrified to get back on the pill. After my partner and I weighed pros and cons, we decided to get on the pill. I'm so glad my doctor prescribed this brand. I was a day 1 starter and immediately I felt relief from cramps. I have had no cramping at all since I started (Very much unlike Loestrin) and period was light and only 3 days long ( RELIEF). I've had to control my emotions at times (I've noticed I'm slightly more emotional), my breasts are slightly tender, and my stomach thinks it's hungry all the time. Don't give into the tummy grumbles! Keep yourself on a healthy diet and you will not gain weight (So far no weight gain at all)."


"I was VERY worried, based on the reviews I'd read here just prior to using Monistat 1. It was a pleasant surprise to not experience any of the burning so many others complained of. There was definitely some leakage overnight, but that is to be expected. It's twelve hours later, and I'm itch-free, and looking forward to feeling 100% better relatively soon."


"I was in constant pain 24/7, and I used to take so many showers to try to get some relief.  Nothing helped and I was in tears, I just could not stand the pain and discomfort any longer.  My sister was on Lyrica because she had Fibromyalgia and got relief.  So the next time I was at the doctors I asked him about taking Lyrica and he thought that it was a good idea.  It took awhile but each day that went by more of my pain left me, and now I am pain free from Fibromyalgia.  My side effects was gaining weight and that was about it.  Any day I would gain 20-30 lbs. to get rid of that terrible pain.  Thank you Lyrica."


"I’ve had severe anxiety my whole life but was never put on anything till about 7 months ago. I was also diagnosed with bipolar, so when I’m manic and having a extremely hard time falling asleep this medicine works. But for my anxiety, which it was prescribed for, doesn’t do anything except make me pass out and not want to do anything for days! It also makes me fall asleep at the drop of a dime, for example while driving! This may work for others, but it’s definitely not the pill for me when it comes to anxiety, though for when I need to get some shut eye it works great!"


"I had severe migraines from age 16 to 65.  When taking cafergot, I discovered (after many years) that if you take an antihistamine WITH the cafergot, it then worked for me.  What a difference !

Having said that, there are so many new drugs now - the one that eliminated the migraine within an hour for me was Zomig.  Zomig was like a miracle for me.  Easy to take anywhere - place under your tongue - no side effects."


"I quit smoking thanks to you from 2008. I am happy. The only side effect was insomnia."


"I am a 34 yr old female. 5'5". Started Contrave with Scale down program on March 3, 2016. Starting weight 231. Today June 21, 2016 weighing in at 189. Starting pants size 18. Today a size 10. I have PCOS with insulin resistance. I cannot take the full dosage of 4 per day, as it is increasing protein in my urine. I only take 1 per day in the morning. I had no side effects when I started this medicine. I do not exercise only increased my daily activity. I use the My Fitness Pal app from UnderArmour. I try to get 10,000 steps per day and stay below 1200 calories per day. So far I am amazed with my progress and stunned that I have made it this far with only one pill per day. I would definitely recommend."


"I have Primarily Inattentive ADHD and recently was diagnosed at 39 years old. I was on Amphetamine salts IR 10 mg 2x's a day as needed at 1st, which worked ok, but gave me some side effects I didn't appreciate, such as peeing so much it kept me awake at night. Also it worked inconsistently per day and sometimes per hour. It gave me blurred vision. So I was switched to 20 mg amphetamine salts xr which is much easier on my system. I don't have the urinary issues and it works a bit more consistently, though I don't get the "zeroed in" focus that I got with the IR and I still get some blurred vision, but no issues that cause it. Also, with both I have mildly decreased appetite, which is fine since I'm overweight and also a very dry mouth."


"I had constant spotting, painful intercourse, my husband said he could feel the string. I had horrible cramping and at the end I was in so much pain. I felt like I was about to give birth, my doctor told me to come in immediately and my body was trying to expel because it was half way out. "


"This will probably only be relevant in the UK. Insurance not relevant.

I have been on Rituximab for over three years, I find it works very well with negligible side effects. I've had treatments twice a year, but on asking for my next treatment I was told that because of new funding rules, I can't have it unless I am on methotrexate too. I took oral MTX for 10yrs until I developed liver enzymes in blood and severe fatigue. I  was offered self administered injections which "have fewer side effects". But I became very unwell with each successive jab. I had to stop them. I am now not on any anti TNF drugs and my health is failing rapidly. My GP is very helpful and is trying to sort this out. Why no provision for people who react badly to MTX"


"I had an unprotected sex with my boyfriend on Oct. 7 (a week after my period) and only got the plan b pill the next day, approximately 30 hrs later. the first 2 days I did not get any symptoms at all, but from the 3rd day on, I felt nauseous, extreme fatigue, and I have been burping A LOT. 2 weeks after taking the pill, on the 24th of October, I got a really bad cramps and I would say a really light period. however it got lighter and lighter that seems to be spotting and I continue to experience symptoms. A month after the incident still no period so I took a HPT and it came out negative. Fortunately after this, the symptoms starts to lessen but had a very tender breast with some cramping as well and today Nov 22 I finally got my period."


"I'm a 20 year old college student and I've been on Vyvanse 30 mg for a year and a half. When I first started taking Vyvanse it was amazing but it's effects have become very mild at this point. I probably need to get my doctor to bump up my dose. If I take a week off or don't take it as frequently I get much better results. Overall, I feel in complete control when I take it and my confidence is very high. However, sometimes when I'm on it I experience feelings of extreme worry about the future; these feelings are always very brief though and don't infringe on my well-being at all."


"Been on Belviq now for 4 months, with a 41 pound weight loss.  It has worked very well and has taken away my snacking cravings.  I'm satisfied eating good, healthy food.  The only side effects I experienced was in the 1st 2 weeks...major thirst, very tired, and chillly."


"This medication has literally changed my life. I was house bound prior to taking Xanax for panic. 99% of my symptoms have disappeared in the last 6 months and again, it's a new life. I feel normal again."


"Never before had serious side effects.  Never posted an internet comment. Continued side effects including constant nausea, constipation, erratic blood pressure, balance/dizzy problem  poor sleep, erratic heat beat. The first time I was dizzy and kept walking, then I fainted. Subsequent dizzy spells resulted in bed or couch as I couldn't walk for 4 hours. I ceased this medicine after 12 days and yet it took a month to completely recover."


"I've been on Junel Fe for about 6 months, I'm 21, so far everything is good, I switched pills due to spotting for 60 days straight on a 90 day pills. Junel Fe give me hardly any cramps which is amazing because mine used to be so bad I would vomit and I have light to no periods during brown pill week. I did however notice I want to eat 24/7 (which I can control) and my mood swings are little more severe...sex drive and acne wasn't affected."


"I've been on this medication for 1 year or even 2 years with 300 mg. I still have extreme mood swings and it doesn't help at all, I want lithium or other bipolar medicine - this doesn't work at all for me.

I'm really scared to gain weight while on some other medication because I already gained 20 kg from an antipsychotic medicine before but I can live with this. My bipolar illness gets worse and worse I still have a good medicine "base" tho. It's not as extreme as a couple of years ago but I'm only 19 years old so I'm looking forward trying something else."


"I am a dancer and for the past 5 years I have struggled with anorexia and bulimia.  I began noticing signs of depression as early as 13.  I felt hopeless, unloved, unworthy and extremely alone.  After 5 years I decided that I needed to change. In the spring I got a bi-weekly therapist and saw a physician and got a prescription for Wellbutrin. Within two weeks the therapist herself determined that I would be fine and no longer needed therapy. I have not had one bulimic episode since.  I went from leading a reclusive, regimented life to a fun-filled, exciting one.  I made many new friends and went from feeling so low that no one could possibly love me to finding the love of my life. Get help; this medicine changed my life!"


"I started the shot about 4 months ago. The first few weeks it was great and I loved not having to take a pill everyday. Then I started spotting, but I knew it was a side effect and thought it would stop. The spotting/bleeding continued for 3 months, on and off. When I would think it stopped, I'd have sex and it would start bleeding during or after sex. After the 3 months ended I was so excited that I wouldn't have to ruin anymore underwear and buy any more tampons but I was wrong, every now and then I spot and bleed during or after sex. It is annoying and inconvenient. This is a great thing if you really don't want to get pregnant but if it is just for cramps and heavy periods I do not recommend."


"I was prescribed this medication for insomnia and depression. I suffer from Lupus, Hashimoto's disease, fibromyalgia, CFS and C-PTSD.

I"ve been on it for about four weeks. I've noticed a significant drop in pain on many days than not. I sleep a solid eight to nine hours a night. I've noticed that I'm calmer, but I'm on a very low dose of 10mg, but will requesting an increase. I also hope to drop my narcotic pain medication intake to ZERO, if this continues to work as well as it has. Getting sleep is a MAJOR issue and one that cannot be undermined when considering the elements that contribute to chronic illness of any kind. This is AMAZING. Dry mouth and night time vertigo during the first few weeks of use."


"I have been on Phentermine 30mg for one week today and I have lost 10lbs!!!!! Excited I will post again after my one month check up in 3wks!"


"I have been on Apri for almost nine months and it works great for me. I was 135 pounds when I started taking it and I am now down to only 117 pounds. Also my period used to be heavy and I ended up getting it twice a month but once I started apri I now only have it for five days tops and it is absolutely fine. I used to break out really bad and my face would get really red but thanks to apri I only get a pimple every now and then and my face is no longer red. Apri works great for me I love it."


"Lunesta is wonderful. I am a chronic insomniac that can't sleep at all without medication, so far (2 weeks) Lunesta is the best I have ever used.  I have been on 9 different sleep medicines from antidepressants to benzodiazepines, etc. and 3 mg Lunesta has helped the most. I was on Ambien for some time, both regular and CR and with both I would wake up after 4 hours. Lunesta gets me a solid 7 hrs of sleep and has changed my life! Only bad thing is the taste but I am getting used to it now, oh and it isn't cheap! Patent expires in 2 years then generic will be available, but this medicine is worth the cost, nothing else works as well for sleep onset and maintenance."


"So I had a horrible experience, but it was because I was not given anything to soften my cervix the night before. Also I did not take any ibuprofen, but I was really uninformed about the procedure. I was 18 and never had a baby, so when she clamped my cervix it felt like a horrible cramp and a sharp pain. It wasn't too bad and definitely tolerable; however, my gyn could not get the Mirena into my cervix. So the clamping pain never stopped, for about 5 min she tried and I was becoming faint from the pain. We stopped, but since I know what the pain was like and how it should've only been 30 seconds of it. I am going back a year later next week, to get the Kyleena. Which is a smaller IUD, and I also will be getting something to soften cervix."


"I am an artist and a horseback rider and for the last few months have experienced a very painful case of tendinitis in my right arm. This gel works well and very quickly in my case, and with bracing and icing I have experienced a lot of relief.

The nature of this pain reliever is anti inflammatory - not numbing - so I don't think you would find use for it if your pain is not of the inflammatory nature. I get spastic and tense neck muscles all the time and find heat and massages work better. So for the right purpose it is excellent stuff. I am sensitive, delicate skinned and had no allergies but I would be careful and spot test nonetheless."


"I've been taking gabapentin for 12 years. I used to have feelings of major irritation and maybe a little paranoia. An example of something that used to happen before i took these was i would be at work, flipping out thinking my mom and my boyfriend(at that time he was painting my parents house) were messing around. Which would NEVER EVER happen. Not only was our son there but so was my father lol. They also kind of disliked him. Point is when I started the gabapentin I laughed at the thought so hard cause it was so ridiculous, I still laugh at the foolishness of it. So i take them every 5 hours and if I had forgotten them my mom or my friend would notice because I would be sooooo irritable. They would be scared to remind me."


"I've been diagnosed with ADD at the age of 42 and have struggled with major depression since adolescence. I currently take 10mg Methylin ER and 150mg bupropion XL in the morning. In the evenings I take 50mg of trazadone for sleep.

3 weeks now and I have never felt better. The adjustment period was pretty mild. Just a bit 'jazzed' in the morning and very mild nausea in the evening. This gradually faded over a week. My appetite is returning, my diet improving and I am reconnecting socially.

My sleep is good and I awaken fully alert with the sunrise.

I can't believe how dramatic this change is. I am optimistic that I will be able to dig myself out of the hole I've been in and re-build a life."


"This is only my 2nd day of taking this wonderful drug.. I've had horrendous anxiety. I've been taking Xanax but it never has given me the immediate relief this medication has. Right now I'm on 20mg once a day.. The Dr said we can increase after we see if it works. I would love to be able to get off the Xanax all together and just take this.
I don't feel jittery, my hands don't shake and I feel an inner calmness..
I've been taking it at night when I go to bed. For the first time in I don't know how long I was able to sleep 6 hrs straight. Usually it's only 3-4 and that's with the help if a sleeping pill..
So going to give it a little while longer and ask for an increase in this medication and to be weaned off of the Xanax."


"Very easy to use and works for days after swallowing the tablet. Also inexpensive!"


"I was leary of getting the Mirena based on poor reciews of continued bleeding, but since the doctor told me "only 5% of women have those issues" I went ahead and had it inserted on Monday of last week.  I was cycle day 5 and at the tail end of my period-read my lining should be very thin!!!  Mon and Tuesday were great!  A little cramping and very mild spotting.  Wednesday however the flood gates opened.  By Friday if I stood up I could see and feel the blood coming out.  This is 100% unacceptable to me.  I have emailed my gyn and told her I either want a script for estrogen which supposedly helps stop the bleeding or I want it out NOW.  I am not going to wait and see if it regulates in 3 months.  This is bs, 5%, right"


"Started taking norco 10/325 after ulner  nerve surgery 2006 it went from 5 a day to 15-20 just to function for the last 6 months started taking 6 30mg oxy. I tried suboxone but that equally addictive went right back to pills. My 2nd day of detox I needed help Dr. put me on clonidine I'm on my 4th day with no withdrawal symptoms trazadone for sleep. Clonidine does make you lil groggy but it does work. Good luck to all that's in detox or thinking about it."


"Horrible mood swings! :( Changing ASAP!"


"I have heard about turmeric on talk radio, they say it is the best for anything that ails you. I thought I would give it a try."


"This medication works great for depression, even at lower doses (50mg). It generally makes you happier, but only after a few weeks. In the first week it may make you more depressed (and anxious). It started working in the third week for (moderate) depression."


"Absolutely LOVE this pill. I had major issues on other pills with being irritable, irrational, emotional and feeling symptoms of withdrawl during the placebo week. Decided to try the lower estrogen with only 2 days of placebos and I've had no issues. Periods are wierd on this pill. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't. Sometimes they are in the middle of the pack. They are very expensive but completely worth it. I feel great on these pills."


"I took this medicine because I was having severe headaches every day and tried everything my Doctor put me on Topamax it will take your headaches away and remove the weight I never felt bad but I had a hard time remembering simple things as coworkers names, what measuring cup to use for wet and dry items I could never remember the words I needed to carry on a conversation. I stop taking this medication because I could not function at my place of employment not to mention the short term memory loss & loosing my hair was crazy. I truly think that so many people get caught up with being able to stay so thin that they keep taking it. I took 50mg morning and 50mg @ night. Not worth it."


"I had no trouble with this medication for almost 2.5 years. However, I've developed negative side effects including: painful cramping for weeks at a time, bleeding between periods, stomach bloating, acne and breast pain."


"I have been depressed over 20 years, been hospitalized for a major depressive event and suicidal. I have been on numerous antidepressants over the years. None of which worked, I have been on escitalopram for 6 years (10mg) and I can say that I am normal and happy. It works for me. I tried 20mg for a while, but it made me too sleepy. The 10mg works for me.

My wife of 47 years passed away 2 months ago. I am grieving but not depressed. Sounds strange, but I definately know the difference."


"Zoloft has been a life saver for me. I honestly don't know how I would've gotten through the past year without it. I had anxiety and depression, but after I started taking Zoloft, I was finally starting to feel myself again and my headaches have gone away. If you have moderate to severe anxiety and depression, I would highly recommend this. It truly saved me."


"I find opening this medication very difficult.   I have to use scissors to open every time. Allegra is in a bottle and easy to use."


"Tri-sprintec is definitely the best medication I have had for my face. In high school I suffered from awful acne that got worse a week before my period started. My face was also burning so bad that I could hardly wash my face (the main reason why I had so much ance). My gyno prescribed this medication just for controlling the acne. Now I have been on the medication for 5 years and my acne has completely disappeared, and I don't ever remember my last bad pimple!"


"I take Gabapentin along with Prazosin and the Gabapentin does not work. I take 600mg of Gabapentin and 2mg of Prazosin. Now my Dr is going to have to take me off of Gabapentin and put me on something else."


"I was told by my gastrointerologist that I was a bit blocked up and suggested that I took a sachet of movicol and 1 tablet of dulcolax. Never ever ever again. I think this would have to be the worst pain I have ever had in my whole life. I ended up going to the ER as I thought I was dying. I had severe stomach pains and thought I was going to be sick. I didn't even go to the toilet once! "


"I had to start taking Celexa after my mom died 4 years ago and I must say it worked for me. Well my dad died last July and my stress shot out of the roof and my doctor added buspirone and I took it until I felt better and then I quit all my anxiety medicines altogether back in December thinking I got this. Well I had a week long anxiety attack that landed me in the ER. Don't stop taking your medicines just because you feel good. Now I have to start all over again but I will be better now."


"I'm on the 17th day of taking Harvoni. I have stage 4 cirrhosis and have had hep C for 17 years that I know of. I take the pill at night before bed, the same time every night. I drink 80 oz of water a day. I am 70 years old. After 13 days I had my blood tested and hep C is undetectable!  A miracle!  I have had no side effects. Will be taking it for 12 weeks total. I am thrilled!"


"Whoever said this was not bad is nuts! This was awful I gagged through the first bottle. I've been on an all liquid diet the morning of and took my first dose at 6:pm it's 9:30 and it still has not worked. My stomach however is nauseous and I have an unbelievable headache. I'm dreading the next 16 oz. the thought of having to drink it is making even more nauseous! You would think there would be a pill that would work just as well, especially since I can't stomach this nasty concoction!"


"Took 2 doses of .75 trulicity a couple months ago (over 2 weeks) and got severe flu-like symptoms. Nausea, loss of appetite (which was expected), headaches, lethargy. Symptoms didn't start for a few days so it's hard to tell if it is definitely a cause. Stopped taking it and gave my body time to feel normal again to rule out actual flu. Took another shot this Sunday evening and felt fine until Thursday when I woke with all the same flu symptoms again. Now I'm pretty sure it's the trulicity and will not be taking it again."


"Crazy itching like I'm going to jump out of my skin. Also nauseating for several hours after taking."


"I've been taking Ibrance for 6 months for mets to bones, lung and abdomen. I also take Femara daily and have a monthly Zometa infusion. First month my tumor markers went up, eeek, but since have steadily shown a downward trend. Recent PET scan compared to one prior to beginning Ibrance shows remarkable improvement and no new evidence of disease. Side effects are there but I'll take them in order to get a chance to live  longer."


"I have been on the birth control pill for the majority of the past 20 years and have never had any issues until now. I have been on Trinessa for the past 5 or so. My pharmacy switched from Trinessa to Tri-Sprintec and I do not like it at all. I have been extremely nauseous, crying for no apparent reason and bickering with my Boyfriend. I was fortunate enough to talk to my pharmacy today and they are bringing in a case of Trinessa for me and I couldn't be more thrilled. I understand they say there are the same ingredients in both, but my body believes otherwise."


"F 5'2
SW: 173.3lb Oct 3,
CW: 166.8lb Oct 7
GW: 150-145lb
I decided to take Phentermine 37.5. After doing research I scheduled an appointment at a local weight loss clinic. After being evaluated I was given the okay to take it with a 1200 cal low carb daily meal plan. I was instructed to take half the pill for 4-7 days then 1 tab daily in the am on an empty stomach. I did 2 days half pill and 3rd day full tablet. I workout 2 days with a trainer and 4-5 days on my own a week. In 4 days down 7lbs!!!! Wow right. Amazing curbing of my appetite but because I'm working out daily still get all cal in daily.  I also drink 3-4 Liters of water daily (a must). I plan on only taking for 30 days and working out 40-60 min daily. I'll update with Final weight after 30d"


"I seen this online and had to try it for myself. I suffer real bad from restless leg and been taking two different pills for at least 6 years and it wasn't helping me at all. I get restless legs during the day and at night and been miserable and cranky. So I call my doctor and he gave me a sample pack to try and the one I tried are 4mg and the patches are for 24 hour. Today is day six and have not had one episode of restless legs. I can cry that I'm so happy to have my life back. You must try it.....I promise it does work. I've tried almost everything out there. No I can relax and sit with no problem."


"Because of the length of time on Prednisone, I now look like a moon-faced pregnant linebacker. BUT, it has been the ONLY medicine since diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis that has given me any relief close to being able to function. I've been warned of the serious side effects, but with medicines everything is a trade off in my opinion. Without Prednisone, I may be out of bed a total of 2 hrs per 24hr period--& that's a GOOD day!"


"I started the nuva ring after my body rejected the copper IUD.  Loved that it was easy to use and painless.  I didn't find it gross to put in or take out like I thought I would.  It killed my libido.  Thank god I had a understanding boyfriend.  When we did have sex I occasionally would forget to put it back in which lead to a few scares but nothing ever came of them.  Overall I stopped after 6 months because my lack of libido was frustrating for me and him."


"Have been taking this medication for 8 months and have lost 30 lbs.  it was prescribed as a weight-loss drug.  Initial mild headache ( no longer ) and some occasional mild nausea.  Started with 1 per day for a week then 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening on week 2 then 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening for week 3.  I backed off a bit and settled on 2 in the a.m. and only 1 pill at night.  Dosage is  8 mg/90 mg.  I am satisfied and will continue taking it.  One more huge benefit is the lack of joint pain."


"So me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex. Then I read about precum. I'm unexperienced I know, 14 hrs later we bought Plan B. Within  a week I had so many pregnancy symptoms. Nausea, frequent urination, breast tenderness, headache, fatigue everything possible. I honestly thought I was pregnant. And I'm only 15 I ended up telling my parents the truth. Then two days later I get spotting and in the morning I get a heavy period. Really painful and excruciating. It worked. But let the pill do its job. Don't freak out. Next time I'm using protection its not worth the stress."


"I'm just so relieved after using this...I spent days and days looking up reviews to comfort myself but that only helped slightly.It was my second time being sexually active and the condom slipped on the sept 13 took the pill roughly 24 hours later.Didnt feel any symptoms so I started to worry but please don't!It works.Last night...Sept 19th I was having brown discharge that turned into a full blown period on the 20th.Im finally at ease!But ladies please get on birth control if you plan on being sexually active.active. Thats the next step for me.It'll save me the headache!"


"I have been using this medication for 12 years.  It gives me great relief. I take it 2x daily and if I miss a dose I know it in a few hours.  Without it I have back pain and begin to limp."


"I was prescribed Vyvanse to combat daily fatigue caused by autonomic dysfunction. It treats those symptoms very well, but prolonged use has a large impact on my mood and personality. By the 2nd week, I was feeling very sad all day every day. A strange side effect that I encountered was that it made my armpits quite literally drip with sweat. The only other bothersome side effect is that it initially kept me up until 5/6 am, but that was remedied with 0.1mg Clonidine before I went to bed. I'm sure this medicine works very well for those with ADD and ADHD, as that is what it is designed for. If you are looking for a solution to chronic fatigue caused by autonomic dysfunction, you may want to consider other options."


"I'm on my 12th day and haven't had a cigarette for 5 days. Had some constipation and wacky dreams that make me wake up laughing sometimes. I almost look forward to them - otherwise, no other symptoms. Sometimes get an urge to smoke after I eat, or when on the phone, but they are easily ignored. So far so good.  I think I will take it for 2 month just to be sure. I'm really glad I started Chantix, had some reservations, but it's been a miracle - I just lost my desire for smoking."


"Kept me awake. Didn't help much with pain."


"I have taken benzos on and off for most of my adult life, for insomnia/anxiety/panic attacks. I will start off by saying I am terrified of hypnotic sleeping pills (Z drugs etc) they make me stupid the next day which I can't deal with. I've been prescribed various benzos such as Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin, Restoril, out of all of them I find lorazepam (Ativan) is the best. I don't get a 'high' feeling from it, it just relaxes me enough to get some peaceful sleep and I have no side effects the next day.  Xanax makes me feel high, and Restoril makes me high and binge eat - not good at all. Unlike other benzos, you can take your Ativan pill sublingually as they don't have a bitter taste; this makes them work quickly."


"My blood pressure was up to 200/95 and my doctor prescribed this for me quite a along time ago.  It has done wonders for my blood pressure.  Usually around 120/80 or can be lower at times.  I also take 2 other blood pressure pills along with this.  The only thing I have noticed is that my pulse is higher than it used to be.  All in all though, this is been a life saver for me."


"25mg for intense full body itching and absolutely no relief. No drowsiness either. Went up to 75mg and still no relief and no drowsiness. Not sure what to think?"


"I had forgotten that I had PMDD!  I was prescribed citalopram for considerable anxiety and mild depression while I was going through a nasty divorce.  I have been on citalopram for a few years now, since about January 2014.  I forgot to pick up repeat prescription and I thought as divorce now finished (June 2015) and all good with my life (even accepting normal trial and tribulations of difficult hormonal teenager!)  I would be fine and should just get on with it and not worry about taking it anymore.  Wow, was I wrong, period overdue and  PMDD back as it was at its worst.  Needless to say will be back at docs to discuss and continue as there is no way I will come off this until I am post menopausal (soon but until then citalopram)."


"I am on this medication as I get migraines with an aura...preferred something I had control over vs an IUD.

No major issues- no acne no weight gain no pregnancy. Regular period.

I have to take this pill at the same time everyday  (more than 15 minutes off can cause period to come early or not at all). That is my biggest complaint however set an alarm on your phone to remind you and you should be fine.

I notice my PMS symptoms are much worse since starting this pill  (moody, nauseous, sore breasts and bloated 1 week before period). My cramps are worse on this pill than before however completely manageable."


"I was given this for a migraine, via iv . Instantly starting between my legs and moving out through my body I felt like my entire body was set on fire.  I had difficulty breathing and was screaming and sobbing. Needless to say none of which helped the severe migraine that had landed me in the Er. Two days later my vaginal tissue still feels inflamed.

I won't be taking this one again."


"Higher dose causes more nausea for me. Moderate depression relief."


"Hello you guys. Shortly after giving birth to my last child in October, I had liletta placed in December 2016. It was a bit painful , but mine was inserted while on my cycle. I felt cramps as my doctors deployed the liletta but only for a few minutes. After I left the doctor, I went to pump gas and went home . When I got home, my cycle was completely off. It stayed that way until day 5 and then it was like a crime scene. I bled consistently for 2 months and my body adjusted. Even after my body accepted it I still felt cramps when I worked, cleaned , or sat down. Today, June 23,2017, I got it removed because for the past couple of weeks I've been dealing with unbearable pain! Cramps none stop but It did prevent pregnancy."


"At age 55, I was placed on Testim gel (5 mg) once a day back in mid-December. Not sure what to expect, was concerned that there was no impact within the first month, but waited 2 months before evaluating.  Good advice! First, I noticed more leg hair and beard growth. Greater interest in sex, including more daydreams and fantasies. Notice more muscle mass despite not working out my shoulders. After a half year, I can't imagine not having this in my life. The drug is being subsidized by the manufacturer for the first year. I don't know what I'll do then. I'd hate to give up this renewed interest in sex. No great emotional change. T levels are up. No erectile dysfunction too."


"I was taking lexapro and wellbutrin for a long time. Then switched to vibyrd in 2012. It helps with my deceased sex drive and it doesn't cause weight gain either. It actually helps with my libido."


"Klonopin has absolutely saved my life in more than one way, with it treating my anxiety and panic attacks. Before I was prescribed Klonopin I had severely withdrawn from almost every aspect of every day life. I was always a very outgoing positive and happy woman before my anxiety and isolation took over every aspect of my life. I just could not face the "real world" before Klonopin and now I have been completely able to live a normal, happy and productive life. It has helped with social anxiety which was what caused me to withdraw from every day life. I cannot praise enough the benefits to me personally. I can again live a happy existence and will never have a bad thing to say about it from own my personal experience."


"I was on Nuvaring for a year and loved it! All hormones seemed to be balanced and I didn't gain any weight. I actually was able to lose. The ONLY reason I had to stop using Nuvaring was because it would fall out. For anyone interested in Nuvaring, I would recommend it."


"I was on loloestrin for two years and it was wonderful no side effects no periods until earlier this year I had severe mood issues. My doctor put me on Sprintec in April, it's been almost six months in the pill. Since taking it I suffered from extreme nausea and bleeding irregularly followed by cramps that didn't seem tied to my period. This pill did clear up my skin but unless you like throwing up on the regular, losing weight (loss of appetite), and feeling nauseas all the time don't bother with this one. I just saw my doctor to switch me off the sprintec. Worst experience ever with a birth control."


"I have taken Malarone on the last 6 trips to Papua New Guinea jungle area and also Liberia Africa with good results. I am very well satisfied with it as a prophylaxis and treatment also."


"I have never had any major headaches to speak of. Recently I had a major migraine for 4 days. This got so bad I literally thought my head was going to explode. I got 2 shots 2 days in a row thst barely numbed the pain. My doctor then ordered a ct scan which came back ok. After pleading to the doctor nothing was working he prescribed this. Wow is all I can say. Headache stopped and hasn't returned. I would recommend trying this as the first option instead of suffering through different things"


"This actually is very effective for me. I've been on it for 6 months and 2 of my toes are now healthy and normal, with the other 2 improving. The $200 price for 8mL is just disgusting but if you can afford it its worth a shot. I've used a bottle and a half now, and I doubt I'll need a third. So $400 to fix my nails and my confidence isn't too bad I guess."


"Lisinopril worked great for lowering blood pressure even at a very low dose.  Unfortunately, the dry cough, that seemed to always be worse at night, eventually became more than I could endure.  The cough ended after 2 days.  In addition, I had developed a post nasal drip that I had never experienced before which also disappeared after 2 days.  I am now on Diovan but so far it has not lowered my blood pressure.  Really frustrating."


"I have been using Linzess for over a week. I had a lot of success with Resotran for three years until it stopped working. I was back to being bloated/distended and constipated. I also gained weight when I noticed that the med were not working any longer. I was miserable. I did some research and realized that Linzess was available and covered under my insurance plan. My doctor gave me a prescription and I finally found relief again!! All the reviews I read made me a little nervous but it's not as bad as I thought. It does clean you out! I take the med in the morning 1/2 hr before I eat and within 2-3 hrs I have at least three bowel movements. My bloating/distension has improved and I lost weight. I hope it continues to work!"


"Having acne for most of your teenage years into your early 20s is not fun. Being a 21 year old who went through Doxycycline and Minocycline, I thought I exhausted all of my options. I saw a few dermatologists who pushed Accutane down my throat. I said no. I went to my family doctor and I've been on Bactrim DS for over 6 months now and it is the best thing that has cleared up my acne. So powerful. I would highly recommend this medication."


"Took it via IV for five days in hospital for diviculitus infection,temperature dropped in a day and inflammation  decreased.

But had to take two more courses after being discharged to fully clear the infection

I found the sickness and nausea very harsh and felt very weak when on it,surprisingly it didn't upset my stomach

Side effects cleared very quickly a few days after stoping it,I would rather take this than the dangerous alternative cipro.So would probably take again even though the side effects were difficult"


"It totally solved my Severe OCD and , to some extent, social anxiety"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I have been taking Neevo for a week now. I have Type 2 diabetes and a history of miscarriages. Since I have been taking Neevo, my blood sugar has been better than ever. I was told it may help reduce my blood sugar levels and is definitely has. I take Neevo when I wake up and it gives me a boost of energy all day long. I have felt really good the past week and am excited to continue taking Neevo due to this drastic change! I would highly recommend getting a prescription for Neevo. It is definitely worth the money and I feel it is the smartest thing I have done yet, to try and have a healthy pregnancy. I have not had any side effects and feel the pill is easy to swallow. Other prenatals I have taken had a "chalky" taste but not Neevo."


"I have been on Loestrin for about 2 months now and I am not satisfied with the result so far. I got on this pill to regulate my periods because I am 18 and wouldn't have a period for about 5 or 6 months apart and the pill has somewhat regulated that but my acne is absolutely horrible. I never had big problems with acne before just little break outs here and there before periods but now I have horrible acne on my cheeks, and its left brown spots behind. I am going to either get off the pill completely or change to another if it doesn't get better within the next 2 weeks. I have also gained 5 pounds, and gone up a cup size."


"So me and my girl friend had unprotected sex on May 27 and she was on her 11th day cycle (28 days cycle and 19 years old). I pulled out but I was afraid of precum. So the next day I bought the pill but she took pill 44 hours after our accident. The first week she didn't have any symptoms but after that she started having soar breasts and stomach pains. But thank god she had her period yesterday may 9th 4 days early. The point of this is to stop worrying!!!"


" began with the minimum 0.6 mg dose of Saxenda on 9 February and increased by the same amount every 7 days. My appetite disappeared but the acid indigestion was horrible.I also felt tired, lethargic and dizzy most of the time. After 3 weeks, I decided to increase the dosage every 14 days instead, which helped. I'm now steady at 2.4 mgs. The side effects have disappeared, except for the fatigue. I wear a Fitbit and try to do 5,000 steps per day. Cardio is out of the question; I'm just too tired but I have lost 5kgs (approx 12lbs). I feel and look so much better. I've started getting an itchy rash at the injection sites. Fatty or sugary food is repulsive; I can easily eat less than 1,000 cals / day."


"I have viral bronchitis, and was miserable. Took 1 teaspoon of Tussionex Pennkinetic and 20 minutes later, I feel back to normal. Worked awesome!"


"I was diagnosed with depression about 6 months ago and started with a very low dose of prozac. About 3 months later I was institutionalized and switched to Zoloft. Most of the people there for depression were on it and it worked for them. However, it does not work for me at all. I've been on 100 mg for about 2 months and I feel jittery when I sit for too long or when I'm trying to sleep, I get really grouchy and rude (which is unusual for me) , and things that only bothered me before make me really depressed."


"I finally have control over my excessive cravings which I have had for years! 2 months in and I am down to 225 lbs. from 245 lbs. when I started. I have tried nearly everything and have finally found something that is actually working. Even at full price I am still paying half of what I paid monthly for Medifast too. Also walking about 20 minutes a day. Looking forward to seeing more results!"


"I started on 5mg and it worked for about a week I am now on 30mg and although I daren't stop using them I feel that they don't work as they should with these I am also on high dosage of pregabalin, duloxotine, co-codamol, my condition is getting worse and my patches don't help as they burn my skin :-("


"Worst medication I've ever taken. Experienced every side effect except sudden death and compulsive gambling.  Started to feel like a zombie devoid of anything real.  If you're not psychotic, don't take this!!!"


"The medication seem to work, is very expense and I have to do without it for 2 to 4 days. Looking for a generic. I am on a fixed income. I have a intermediate job. Trying to pay some old bills. Paying for this prescribed medication hinder me."


"I thought I was going crazy. Taking aromosin for 11 mos. I fall asleep in the middle of the day, even nod off when I'm with friends. Terrible sleeplessness, hand joint pain in middle  of night, thinning hair (after losing hair after chemo),
The fatigue makes me lack motivation, no interest in anything, poor eating habits, can't exercise, don't want to do anything.
This is worse than Arimidex!"


"Feel horrible taking this - hard to breathe- blurred vision - no energy - cannot sleep well"


"I am currently using Efudex for the second time.  My first experience was 11 years ago.  The issues were exactly as shared by many others.  I was a mess!  It is very mentally challenging to go through this, but I can assure you it is very much worth making the commitment to complete a full course of therapy.  It was absolutely amazing how clear, smooth, and clean my face looked about a month after stopping treatment (I used a topical steriod afterwards).  People actually thought I had some plastic surgery (face lift?).  I am at it again, just having completed my first week.  While I remain self-conscious about how bad I look, it bothers me much less because I know the outcome will be well worth it.  Hang in there!"


"I love this medicine.  My Dr originally gave it to me for weight loss but it got rid of all my joint pains.  I had it everywhere.  It was a miracle drug for me.  I am noticing some memory loss,  and difficulty concentrating but I'm 52 so it could be age.  I'm going to cut back on the dosage and see if I notice changes."


"Around December of 2011, my OBGYN prescribed Junel to me. Honestly, it's been great. My periods are lighter than they've ever been before. Previously, my cramps when I got my period were absolutely horrible. Now, I can only tell my period's coming when I'm on the fourth row of pills. Being regular is a huge plus. Also, me and my fiance have not found ourselves in any trouble while using it. As much as a couple may find themselves having sex, we have never once had to face the consequences. These have been great to me, and my relationship!"


"Great. Thanks Zyban. I start my Smoke Free Life after 10 days. I can't believe."


"I have been taking generic Requip (ropinerole) for about 9 months now for restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movement disorder. My doctor has gradually increased my dose from 0.75 mg a day to 2 mg. It has really helped my PLMD; it doesn't happen anymore. It also helps my RLS. However, my RLS had almost disappeared before I started taking Requip (when I gave up caffeine). The RLS came back when I started taking Requip for the PLMD. Overall, however, I think it has been worth it. I am on a still relatively small dose."


"I posted previously after 2 days on the component drugs that make up Qsymia.  I am 61 and had reported no side effects.  It has now been 6 weeks.  I have had side effects but only minor - some dry mouth, difficulty sleeping if I don't have a glass of wine before bed ;), some numbness a few times in my face and that's it.  I'm down 14 pounds.  I have made a very conscious effort to take off weight and sometimes question whether the Rx works but I do know that I simply have no cravings.  I have no pull to buy junk food.  I have gone to a whole food diet, have had no sugar for 6 weeks, low carbs, just added a work out program 2 weeks ago and continue to drink 100 oz of water daily.  Because it has been fairly easy, I do credit the drug.  "


"Well I've just started my first pack of it and I'm on the sugar pills now but about 1 week ago, I had sex without a condom so we'll see how that goes."


"I am wondering if I should reschedule procedure for tomorrow. I did not drink the 2 16 oz glasses of water after my first dose.  Since my instructions were to take first at 6 p and second at 10 p i took second dose and am drinking the water after. Not much happening. Wondering what to do."


"Miracle drug for me. I had a very bad reaction to SSRIs (hospitalised for some days) and amitriptyline (couldn't stop sleeping) before my GP suggested we try mirtazapine for my mood and migraine management.

I started on 15mg. My migraines were unchanged (now managed by topimarate), but my mood has improved a thousandfold - while formerly I was very much reclusive, self-loathing, and suicidal, I can now leave my flat and socialise! My college grades are back up to standard, and I've found myself generally enjoying life. Overall a huge improvement - still a way to go, but having just upped my dose to 30mg the future seems bright.

Side effects are minimal - I sleep much better now. Avoid alcohol though, it doesn't mix too well with the pills."


"I have used 0.75 patch for 6 years.  To make it stick better, rub your skin with alcohol and let dry.  Press on for ~20-30 secs.  Really the only thing I find frustrating is the fact that by the 5th day my body is clearly not getting as much medicine, and I start having body symptoms to parallel this.  Also have very sore knots in my breasts, especially the first few days.  But other than this, it has been a life-saver since I have post surgical menopause."


"I've been taking Metoprolol for a couple months now and input see and difference than before I started taking it. In fact, my doctor even increased it from once a day to two pills in the morning and one at night. No change. Not even a change in pvc's, which makes for horrible anxiety, at least for me."


"Lo Loestrin Fe is by far the best birth control I have ever tried! I cannot tell you how many different contraceptives I have tried and they have all made me miserable. I've had absolutely no side effects on Lo Loestrin Fe. My skin is clear, my periods last maybe a day and it's super light. Absolutely no cramps or nausea. My weight fluctuates on its own so I wouldn't blame the pill for that lol."


"I have had the implant since April 2010, now October 2011 and at first, it was great! Experienced an 11 day period (usually never lasted more than 5 days) and that was about it. The insertion was about 2 minutes and the only pain I experienced was the numbing which lasted a couple of seconds. I didn't have my period for about 6 months which was cool, never got pregnant or had any side effects. My concern really is that now, or recently I've been having my period non stop. I'm currently on my period, for the 8th time in 2 months. They've been heavy periods and the cramping sucks. I've been breaking out really bad and experiencing very bad mood swings. I become very sensitive and impatient. It's a great birth control but I'm at a loss for words lately."


"Have had major depressive disorder with borderline bipolar since I was 9, now with added anxiety. Antidepressants never worked for me. I am also sensitive to medication. As my episodes have gotten worse, my doctor thought to try me on Lamotrigine.  I had to go very slowly up, and at first couldn't even tell if this was working, until I went up to 75mg, then I crashed. My dark thoughts took over me, I couldn't stand trying to wake up or get out of bed. My hydroxyzine that usually helps calm me a bit, was no help at all. I was told with being on the low dose that I could just stop it, but then I had bad withdrawal symptoms that took over 2 weeks to calm down. I cannot recommend this medicine."


"I was a pretty heavy smoker-about a pack a day (even on days I can't smoke at work which just meant I'd chain smoke when I left to catch up!) and I always made excuses to go have a smoke.  I also made many excuses not to quit.  I finally decided that I wanted to stop and I couldn't believe how well the Chantix worked for me.  I had tried the nicotine patch, Wellbutrin, cold turkey....Chantix was kind of my last resort.  The only side effect I noticed was a couple minutes of nausea right after I took the pill but it wasn't enough to make me stop.  I quit smoking on day 5.  I quit before my quit date.  I'm planning to take the full 6 months but I'm on week 6 and feel fantastic!  I highly recommend Chantix to anyone who has struggled to quit!"


"I have had the Implanon for about 5 months now, and its great! I only spot for about a day or two each month and thats it. I have actually lost weight since then as well. Nothing has really changed with me since I got it. No mood swings or acne."


"Been on Nuvaring for about a month now, so far so good. I've had my share of troubles with trying to find the perfect birth control and it seems I've found it with Nuvaring. I switched from pills which caused major weight gain and significant side effects after prolonged use. I haven't experienced any serious side effects besides slight nausea/dizziness from time to time with Nuvaring. Other than that I can't complain.... 5 stars in my book."


"I was put on Bactrim DS twice a day for about 6 weeks. This was after being on doxycycline for about 4 months with disappointing results. My acne was cystic and mainly distributed across my back, neck, shoulders, and chest. This outbreak of acne started some time after I stopped hormonal oral BC and switched to Paragard. It also coincided with the start of treatment with lithium for bipolar disorder. The latter can exacerbate acne in those that are susceptible. Despite quitting it, the disaster continued. My derm put me on Bactrim DS twice a day for 6 weeks and to my amazement - this finally did the trick. My skin completely cleared! Highly recommended. No side effects but I took a probiotic with it. My skin has stayed mostly clear since."


"I am a college student and I have panic disorder. This medication has gotten me through so much; whether that be class presentations, job interviews, and taking exams. This medication works to slow my heart rate down so whenever I am in an anxiety-provoking situation, I will not get the fight-or-flight symptoms like shakes, fast heartbeat, stuttering, and most importantly panic attacks. This pill will not cure your nervousness or worry, but it sure as hell will take away the symptoms caused by such. I hate going up in front of people to speak, but with this drug I am so calm that no one even knows that I was ever nervous."


"Love this medicine!!! I have year round allergies and I am allergic to everything; dust, cats, hamsters, everything outside, etc. I feel like I should live in a bubble. Nothing seemed to work. I've taken OTC drugs and prescribed drugs. All of them stunk. Allergy shots really work, but are too time consuming. Then I found Xyzal. Love it! Fair warning though, this drug does knock you out and the lasting effects carry into the next day, but I discovered that if you take it about an hour to two hours before your bedtime, you will feel fine the next day."


"After suffering for 2 weeks, I went to my GYN and was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. She prescribed Flagyl. And even though it tastes awful, I have found it to be quite effective. I am on my last day and even though I still have some slight symptoms, I feel much better. I took my doses with milk to lessen the nausea and used an oatmeal wash and miconazole nitrate cream for the itching. Both have helped a lot in getting me through this awful infection. Even with the bad taste and the side effects, I would definitely use this medication again, although I hope never to have this infection again."


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


"I've taken Plan B on three different occasions. The first it was more of a precaution. The second and third times I took the pill were only a month apart. Both were a couple days before I was supposed to ovulate. I took Plan B within a couple of hours each time. I experienced moderate cramps each day, accompanied by tender breasts and headaches with both. I started my period 3 days before my cycle was due to start the first month and 4 days before the second. I was worried it wouldn't work 2 months in a row, but it did. The side effects and the cost are definitely worth it.

No worries! I'm a 100% believer in Plan B for emergencies!"


"Overall I am very happy with this medication. I have had little side effects. I still prefer Lyrica as a better pain relief medication but had to stop due to fluid retention of 6kg in 3 months."


"I think it works for me"


"I love Loryna! I've always had extremely heavy periods, and the pain was so overbearing for years. I used to go a week to two weeks. I had them much more so than the average period... like I would go 10 days after I stopped bleeding and then start for another week or so again. I've tried several different pills and they've either made no difference or managed to mess me up more. Loryna is wonderful though! my doctor told me the first month may not show improvement, which was true.. but she said after the second month it should work and it did! my periods are so light, I honestly feel like I spot throughout the whole thing. AND they only last 6 days at most which is a huge improvement for me. I rarely cramp and when I do it's nothing.. :)"


"I had 23 bleeding peptic, duodenal, and esophageal ulcers and GERD. This is helping."


"Mild nausea when going up to 20mg for first few days - increased sex drive - no side effects which is a miracle being that every other med I've taken has given me every possible side effect. Very satisfied!"


"I received the medication this morning in 2 x 500mg tablets after a call in from the doctor, even with protection I caught chlamydia recently! Absolutely no pain or discomfort except pure bloating. Had a pub lunch and beer for lunch with no issues... 8 hrs after taking I'm now consuming a glass of wine as heading out for a birthday, bloating a lot worse and it has gone straight to my head but no dramas as yet... will try and keep of the shots tonight though!"


"This product is amazing and is a great alternative to oral medicine. I am no longer embarrassed to where my flip flops. I have paid $80.00 in copays over a year."


"I started phen yesterday 3/1 my first day I had extreme dry mouth and peed alot. Today my mouth is not as dry and I don't feel as jittery. I'm excited for the change my appetite was definitely curbed. I'm 5"4 186. My goal weight is 150- 155"


"Hey you, yeah, you reading this review. Take a breath. If you're speeding through all of these experiences, you're probably looking for potential side effects and reactions of other people. I know, because I'm just like you.

I can tell you the first day I took Bactrim, I had a horrible migraine. The worst I've had in months. But guess what--I also didn't drink coffee that day after having a constant intake for weeks. I had other problems like chills, but wait, I got this medicine for an infection! So many symptoms people experience are likely a result of other things.

My uti went away. I drank lots of water and milk with it. Other than experiencing a few more headaches, and a bit of tiredness, I was fine."


"I have been on Sronyx for over four years now. Even from the very beginning I have not experienced any negative side effects with one exception (spotting in between periods has happened three times before, but nothing major). I know birth control affects each woman differently. My personal experience with Sronyx has been a very positive one. I have had no mood swings, no cramps during period, no heavy periods, no problems with weight/acne, and no changes in sex drive. I give it a nine out of ten only because of the occasional spotting in between periods."


"Unbelievable. I just used this for the first time and had relief in about 15 minutes. 13 years of pain shots 12 doctors, 2 surgeries and I put on this gel and feel so much better. For me, it is a miracle."


"I switched from Lutera to Zarah because I developed PMDD and was constantly enraged and snapping on all my friends, boyfriend, and family the few days before my period. Zarah has drospirenone as its progesterone and is proven to help calm some of the effects of PMDD and other anxiety. I am so grateful for this birth control! I'm not pregnant either, my breasts went up to a 32DD, and my acne is slightly better than it was before."


"Very bad side effects:nausea, vomiting, dizziness, odd dreams.

Ended up x 2 in the ER because of this drug."


"I have bipolar 1 disorder. Started with 5mg Zyprexa, now am on 7.5mg at night. I find it really helps me with my moods. Some of the side effects for me are swollen ankles, weight gain and sedative effect throughout the day."


"Works nearly every time on one dose. The second dose will make you fell washed out for the next 24 hours. Life is normal with this drug as it works in about an hour. I am in the UK so NHS covers the costs of the drug."


"I have this birth control I got it on my six week check up back in 2013 at first it was wonderful it didn't completely stop my cycle but it was every other month BUT when I did get it it would last for 7-10 days heavy an cramps then I would come off an a few days later come right back on for like 5 days but then won't get a cycle for two months now I'm getting pain in my arm mood swings depressed an eat a lot of snacks haven't picked up any weight though. I want it out though due to the pain."


"I got put on Taytulla because my body is sensitive to hormones. I’ve always had problems being on birth control with bad mood swings and depression. My doctor recommend this to me because it’s a low dose.  I’m on my 3rd pack right now the first month I broke out on my face really bad but it cleared up on the second pack! It completely stopped my period I have no PMS symptoms at all! I take my pill everyday at the same time I took a test just to make sure I’m not pregnant! I did gain a few pounds nothing too major Other than that I love this birth control!"


"started on Wellbutrin XL 150 ER once a day for a week before being bumped to 300mg. Day 1: felt like I was walking in a dream state, also felt like my soultimate was being pulled through the front of my body by a magnet. Strange but kinda cool.

Day 2: woke up after 6 hours refreshed with energy. first time in over 7 months this happened, and has continued to happen every day. Much more focused mentally, much calmer.

Day 3-7: same as day 2. Day 8: Bumped to 300mgs, felt supercharged, back to the dreamlike state, no magnet pulling at my should this time, extremely focused, libido through the roof which was nice surprise too, appetite suppressed a bit, I'm a bodybuilder so that's not good for me but can eat as much with a bit of effort."


"I have been on the patch for a month and noticed that my nipples are always on hard and my nipples are very sore! Not sure how much longer I can deal with the tenderness"


"I've been having seizures for the last two years, after being free from seizures for 5 years after temporal lobe surgery. I've had a seizure about every three months. Each seizure was worse then the previous one. Last year when I fell complications caused kidney failure. This has passed. I was on Lamictal and Keppra was added, and both were increased, without any change in seizures. 4 months ago I was taken off Keppra and Vimpat was added. 600 Lamictal/400 Vimpat. It is a strong medicine, in the morning I got very dizzy and unbalanced with double vision.  I complained and my dose was split up 3x a day and I feel much better. 4 months free of seizures now, I'm simply waiting for the next seizure, hoping not."


"I started on Opdivo 6 weeks ago because my chemo and radiation did not keep the cancer at bay. I decided to try it to build up my immune system. The first time I had it as I was at the end of the IV I started feeling cold and my blood pressure shot up. The nurses gave me shots to bring it down. The second time I had it, every other week, They gave me some steroids first so I wouldn't have a reaction and I didn't. I did have some achey bones and breakthrough pain. The third time I had it and last time It went fine until I started having 103 degree fevers and my entire body broke out in a red itchy rash. I am on Prednisone IV's and I'm weaning off it right now but the rash is so itchy and nothing takes it away! Too many reactions..."


"Better than Lovenox, only once a day and it doesn't sting as much. Additionally I have less nausea and tiredness on it than I did with either Lovenox or Coumadin. However the nausea is still not great. I am looking forward to switching to Pradaxa and eliminating the need for shots, and hopefully, the nausea."


"My daughter was diagnosed with ADD about 2 years ago and has been on this medicine ever since. I truly feel this has been our "miracle" drug for her. She never had behavior issues, she just couldn't focus at home or school. Since starting this medicine, her grades have come up and she is able to focus on anything she wants to. We had to struggle with headaches in the beginning, but now she is fine. We also have the no appetite issue with her, so she drinks PediaSure for that. Thank you Metadate for helping my child."


"I had such a mixed experience on Cymbalta. I took it for 1 month. It made half my day awful, and the other half great. I would take it in the morning (30mg) and for the first half of the day I would feel this dark undercurrent, but kind of speedy at the same time. It made me have terrible anxiety and paranoia and I fought with my husband in the mornings, accusing him of petty things. Then around 1pm this darkness would lift and I would feel happy; it was really bizarre. But the damage done to my marriage from my behavior in the mornings was terrible. I hope my husband can forgive me for the drama. My last dose was 2 days ago and I feel much more stable and sane. I did not like how this drug altered my personality so much in the mornings."


"Just had a baby aug 11. I had the mirena put in oct 6. There was barely any pain. My Doct did tell me that women who have had a baby are able to have it done with a lot less pain."


"You're here b/c your freaking out.. you messed up and think your screwed. You took plan b, but you're questioning everything happening to your body. I know b/c that was me just a day ago and a whole three weeks before. I read all these reviews too. I was relieved by all the positive feedback but so mortified by the occasional bad one. I had sex June 12, while I was ovulating, and the condom broke & he came in me (worst case scenario). I took plan b within an hour. Luckily my period came today, July 3, a week late. It was the longest wait of my life, as I had many signs of pregnancy, which is common!! My advice is stay busy, trust the process & stop researching. It's 95% effective, the 5% is just so that one girl who threw it up doesn't sue lol"


"Been taking this for 2 years...Works well, no side effects. Rather expensive though even with insurance."


"I took a tablet before bed, at 10-ish, and by half eleven, I was able to go! A bit of tummy ache, but nothing bad! Also in the morning I suffered a bit with diarrhea but nothing uncontrollable!"


"I started Requip 1 mg at bedtime.  It worked great for 3-4 months.  My Dr increased the dosage so I now take 3 mg at bedtime.  Again, it worked great for a few months, and then the symptoms reappeared.  The Requip is better than nothing, but I was up pacing the floors when I should have been sleeping.  My husband suggested acupuncture, and that has made a huge difference.  I take the Requip 3 mg with 3 saltines to prevent nausea and vomiting.  I have an acupuncture treatment every 2 weeks, and no problems when I go to bed."


"I have been on Lutera for about seven months, and find it wonderful. I've tried a few other birth control pills, but this one has barely any side effects compared to the others. In fact, after the first couple of weeks (where I was nauseous quite a bit), the only side effect I notice is slightly fuller breasts. Not a bad thing, overall!"


"I have osteoarthritis.  I could not bend my knees. Walking was impossible. My dr. Discussed using the cortizone injections. They would help for a week or so. And then back to pain. Well, my dr. Discussed the Orthovisc injections. I'm on my 2nd injection and what a relief. There is some swelling after but nothing ice packs can take care of. I recommend these injections for me ..they worked. Now hopefully they will help for 6mos. .. but I would certainly have them again."


"Started out great on the lowest dosage. I lost 20 pounds in the first 6 weeks. Moved up to the next dosage and did not lose a pound. Still no side effects so they moved me up to the highest dosage. The first 2 days were great and then I thought I was going to die! The chest pains were horrific! I couldn't chance the way I felt and it got me really thinking as to what I was putting in my body! I stopped taking it!"


"When I first started any medication, I was put on Depakote and Risperdal. However the Risperdal made me gain 40 pounds in 2 months, so I had to get off of it. After that I was put on Geodon for my delusional behaviors and auditory hallucinations. The Geodon helped but only barely scratched the surface. They added Abilify to the mix and I was so unbelievably tired that I couldn't even walk a straight line, so they took me off the Abilify. I'm currently going back to doctor in a couple days to be put on something else. I've heard of other people getting a miracle out of Geodon, but it just didn't cut it for me."


"I have been on Pristiq for about a week. It has been extremely stressful and found myself sick with stomach and abdominal pains.  After several specialists, biopsys and exploratory surgery it was concluded that stress has induced IBS as well as depression. I have noted that I am not hungry and I have not had an episode with pain so far.  As for side effects I have felt exhausted by late morning, however after a short nap feel fine.  I am a bit less anxious and my mood a bit better, however I have not yet experienced the energy to get going. But from the reviews I do look forward to that. I noted one person said they were told not to take with thyroid medication. I take synthroid and know my doctor would not prescribe this if it was a bad combination."


"I went to the doctor for really bad lower back pain and the doc said it was a pinched nerve. I was given hydrocodone, cyclobenzaprine and prednisone 10mg. The Hydrocodone is good but the prednisone is awesome. It works fast and has really helped the inflammation in my lower back."


"When I first started Effexor XR, it seemed to really help for a while.  After a while we had to increase the dosage to its maximum, and had to add the max 80 mg of Prozac to keep me "normal".  After about a year, I started having real problems with exhaustion and fatigue.  It took a lot of testing and doctors and finally two separate sleep studies to find that my deep sleep had been disrupted significantly -- essentially I was getting NO restorative sleep, even when I slept for 8-12 hours!"


"Awful. Awful. Awful. I started on the pill when I was 15 because I was getting cramps so bad I was almost throwing up from the pain. Now at 25, I am still using the pill but have switched a few times. The brand that I am using now is terrible. Horrible cramps, periods last for a week or more, spotting, mood swings, weight gain, acne, discharge... you name it, I've got it. The pill is effective for birth control, I'll give it that, but there are a lot of negative side effects that come along with it."


"I'm taking this as a last resort, have tried every med out there. Next stop is a Clinic in September. Have had migraines for more than 50 yrs."


"In the first week I started getting a yeast infection vaginally. The I started getting it everywhere imaginable. It was so bad that I had to stop using it and take Diflocam (pill) for 3 weeks."


"I Have a cyst along my spine with a messed up disc. The codeine based medicines side effects were terrible. Nucynta  75mg. 3 X day works wonders. I only take it when I do a lot of work which affects my lower back. My wife likes me to take it as I am not as grumpy. Like all medicines some work for certain people and not for others. For me Nucynta and Demoral work best with min. side effects"


"I am also one of those people who seem to be allergic to everything and always suffering. My doctor recommended this and I've only been on it for a few days but it is already a game changer for me. The true test will be cedar season but I feel confident I will be okay. Thankful for the discount card!!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I followed the directions, clear liquids ONLY for the day before the colonoscopy. I mixed as directed. The flavor was not too bad, kinda like cherry cough syrup. Took dose one at 5:45 and it was working at 6:10. Make sure you are heading for the toilet at first feeling of pressure...make sure the coast is clear! 11 bowel movements by 8:00. I will take dose 2 at 6:00 in the morning prior to my 10:00 appointment."


"The positive: it has an almost immediate effect, from Day One there's a lift in mood. Effexor XR Also gives a feeling of energy, both mental and physical. I've also noticed a significant decrease in my social anxiety, I can talk to anyone without feeling nervous -  this 'extra' effect began, again, on Day One.                                     The negative: slight feelings of nausea with a definite decrease in appetite. I don't really enjoy my meals as much while on Effexor. I've also noticed a form of a insominia since starting - early awakenings and not being able to get back to sleep."


"I had Hep C for 14 years without treatment. Took Harvoni for 8 weeks with no side effects and I'm now 100% cured!"


"Started on the Amlopidine 3 months ago. Bp was 150/74 at Dr.'s.  Now it goes to 145 about 1 time in afternoon, but goes down to 99/58 every once and a while, causing me spaced out feeling.  I've had terrible headaches all this week, dizziness, cough. Can't drive..  I am getting off this, because I felt much better before.  I had just retired when I started this med.  Was totally independent, now stuck at home."


"Although the 12mcg/hour patch did help with my pain it did not offer the relief I thought it might for 72 hours which is the life of a single patch. I still had pain, just not as severe. Then I broke out in a rash on chest, arms, thighs and back. Along with the rash a rise in blood pressure which had previously been well within acceptable range for my age of 62. I was placed on a blood pressure medication but have not seen a satisfactory drop in numbers. After finding information that 1 person in 10 will experience either very high blood pressure or very low blood pressure and given my history of hypersensitivity to drugs, I am thinking that I have no other alternative than to get off the fentanyl patch."


"Was given foricet at E.R. for Tension headache and I suffer from severe anxiety I immediately had tachycardia (fast heart beat) after taking this drug it got rid of my headache but it left me miserable with my anxiety never taking this again"


"After a full hysterectomy at 42 years I started taking the patch due to severe hot flashes and terrible insomnia. After less then I week, I've had only mild hot flashes and 2 good nights of sleep. I'm so happy to be taking estrogen. No side effects"


"I do not recommend getting this for your teenage daughter. When I was a teenager It made me very moody and would get so so upset over the smallest things. Now I am watching my teenage step daughter use it and she is the same way. I am 28 and have been on it for two years now and I finally stopped bleeding and spotting. I have noticed it's giving me muffin top and I am thin. I am switching to the Implanon next week because my doctor recommended that instead of a tubal ligation. I am nervous but so far I heard Implanon is the best birth control."


"I have been on celexa for a bit over a year to treat my clinical depression which I had for 5 years and general anxiety which I had for 3, and it has literally saved my life. I started with 5mg and worked up to 40mg, and I've never felt better than I do after being on celexa. It's helped me so much, I can finally live and enjoy my life  again"


"I read where prograf does not work well on people of color.  I started with 12 pills a day
weakened my entire body.  Now on 8 pills a day, every so often it weakens my body.  Cant stand for long periods of time, I get tired and feel very weak.  right now searching for an answer, dr. contacted today"


"I switched this from Ability and the difference is night and day - energized, happy and manic free. I follow the rules to a tee - take at night with a minimum 350 calories - I noticed some posts here reporting vomiting and ineffectiveness - it's not just about stomach upset - you MUST take the med on a full stomach or it wont be absorbed properly and will likely cause upset too - this is what my Doc tells me and he seems to be right"


"I have been taking adapalene for just over 3months now. I was very wary about starting having read a lot of negative reviews of it online, which focus a lot on the breakthrough stage of the medicine. This is something that I definitely experienced myself, with my acne worsening at first (for me this lasted 3-4weeks though for some it seems a lot shorter - more like 1-2weeks). This was a really uncomfortable period of time, in which I felt very self-conscious (even more so than before). However, IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH IT. 3mnths in and my skin is acne FREE. There is scarring still, but I was getting painful cysts and now it's just the occasional normal spot. This has made such a difference to my life. 100% glad I persevered."


"Compared to taking Tegretol for TN I would give it a 10.  Much less problems with taking and no Tegretol level or white blood cell counts needed, and I can take a lesser dose mostly get by with 2 a day with the other medicine it was min of 3 but mostly 4 a day.   I do feel much better physically with the smaller dose of course.  kinda looped for a week switching medicines as you take both to wean off Tegretol and onto Trileptal. I definitely would try it."


"Initially I took pills late in the night.  My side effects were tummy rumbling and gas, it was hard to get up from bed in the morning, I woke up during the night sometimes shaky and suicidal thoughts, anxiety  with compulsive body movement.  Although you do not really know whether you would have experience this or more without the medicine anyway. Tried to change to take pill in the morning but did not work out well for me. Back to pill in the evening and now life is better and more predictable.  I noticed mornings were bad but improved as day progressed so slowly shifted time to early, first 8PM, 7PM, etc, until I moved the worst part to night and I find easier to get up and start the day."


"Trust and believe ladys you better not have anything going on in your life if you start to take this! I've only been taking this for a month and a half but the mood swings are uncontrollable! I am a very level headed person most of the time but I have been an emotional wreck since I started. My breasts have been extremely sore but they are getting bigger witch is a plus for me! Haven't had any acne or weight gain, but it did help regulate my period I haven't had any irregular spotting witch is great because I just switched from the depo shot. So I'm really liking this so far. We'll just have to see how it go's I guess!"


"Was on Levothyroxine for two years with a litany of ailments and conditions. Went on WP Thyroid and got rid of most of the unwanted conditions associated with hypothyroidism."


"I took the pill 1 hour after the condom broke.. I was extremely worried because I had just ovulated and I had read it might be less likely to work, but it did. No major side effects other than I was very very tired a few hours after I took it."


"I finally got this removed after 15 months of use. I gave this thing a fair shot, but I hated it the entire time.

My worst side effect was the extreme depression I suffered while on it. I have a history of depression and anxiety, but after several months of being on the Nexplanon, my therapist mentioned my symptoms were more common and more extreme, and it was very likely the Nexplanon that was at fault.

The second worst side effect I suffered was the total loss of my sex drive. Not only did I never want sex, when I did partake with my fiancé it was incredibly painful. This was never an issue before the Nexplanon.

I got it taken out a week ago, and I'm already starting to feel better."


"Bactrim was the worst antibiotics I have taken. I was prescribed this medicine for a UTI from a the Dr and I took one pill before I went to bed and felt fine. It was like 4 am it when I got hit with a massive headache from hell. I could not sleep and then about 2 hours later around 6am. I started vomiting until all I could vomit out was my stomach acid. Horrible! That day I still had a bad headache and nauseous all day. I discontinued the pill and flushed them all down the toilet!"


"For 40 years I've had to spend a lot of time on the toilet. So much so that it has now become a habit that I spend as much as 30-40 mins at a time just reading or watching you tube.
Then I met my new girlfriend who pretty much noticed from the start that something was not right. I had suffered kidney stones from my early 20's and always had cramps.
Then I was referred to a doctor who had the time to listen to me, who took the time to try and find the cause. Turns out I have had a very severe case of  Bile acid malabsorption (BAM) for my whole life. Who knew?
I was prescribed colesevelam which I now have to take 6 a day but the change has been amazing. I'm not saying I'm cured but I can live again. Don't take no for an answer."


"I have been on dilantion and phenobarbitone both taken at night. I haven't had any gramdmals in two years. I've notice some type of rash on my side that doesn't seem to ever go away and feel a lot more stress and some weight gain but with the two mixed together it works great. I sleep well and have a lot of energy."


"I am a roofer and have fallen off of ladders and roofs. I've got pinched nerve in shoulder and muscle spasms in entire back daily. After trying Lortab, Percocet, Norcos, and a few other pain medicines my doctor gave me Nucynta 75mg. Finally after 7 years of agonizing pain I can actually function almost normally. It works very well. No buzz feeling just no pain."


"After just two doses, I experienced sharp pain in my Achilles heels. Couldn't walk up stairs without having twinges in tendons. Unfortunately, I experienced the side effects. "


"Probably the BEST cough suppressant you can ever be prescribed.i had a cough that was SO SEVERE it kept me up 2 days straight and my throat began to bleed..my dr Rx'd 1 tsp every 12 hours and a z-pack antibiotic. I took the doseage at 6pm and by 7 I was sleeping soundly..I used it to ward off the cough while the antibiotics cured the cough. No point in getting just cough medicine if you don't get the antibiotics to go with it

"I've had the implant for about 18 months and I love it. It stopped my period right away. I did spot for 2 weeks about a year ago but it wasn't nothing I couldn't handle. I haven't had a period since. No mood swings, no headaches. No more babies!!!! I would definitely recommend this. I've seen other reviews and maybe its a different reaction to each individual. But so far no problems for me. I have until  April of 2017 and I will be doing this again."


"7.5mg I truly didn't find very helpful at all...I probably could have taken 3 tylenol's and got the same relief."


"Oh boy! So I took two 5mg pills at about 9pm, then waited.
(I wanted to clear out my system due to an uncomfortable abdominal hernia which is made worse when 'full')
Sadly, I'm around 200lbs; that's why I took 2 instead of 1.
I wasn't sure if I'd need 3, but found out that 2 was extremely sufficient!
In the morning nothing happened until around 11:30, when it finally worked and without cramps.  (Make sure you take this with no plans or place to go the next day, just in case it hits hard)
BUT...I have things to do & places to go today and what I'm stuck here in my bed with is debilitating NAUSEA.
I've had it all morning before the drugs worked, but even after now, I have rotten waves of it.
I can stand diarrhea, or cramps but NOT nausea."


"My doctor administered two syringes of Evolence to my face, the nasolabial folds and a little around my bottom lip. The results were fantastic. There was no bruising, hardly any swelling. I am waiting to see how long-lasting it is.
