"I was originally prescribed Seroquel to help me sleep after a traumatic experience and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  I took half a 25mg pill.  I have also had chronic insomnia for over 15 years which I manage with Xanax, however when I experience an increase in stress and anxiety to which I cannot manage with exercise and diet, I will add half a dose of Seroquel at night to help me sleep more soundly.
I find that I need to take it early in the evening so that I wake up refreshed. It does leave me with a slight grogginess, whereas Xanax alone does not however Xanax has a shorter half life and there are times when I wake up in the middle of the night.
Very happy overall with Seroquel for treating insomnia and glad my Dr. had the wisdom to know how to help me."


"I can't rate the product because I can't get the cap open!!  This is ridiculous!  I will never buy this product again!  Is this some kind of a sick joke? If I could give this product a 0 I would!"


"I was on it for 10 days (5 tablets a day), it did not work for me and it was expensive even with insurance.  The tablets are sweet like candy so they are easy to take."


"DON'T TAKE THE GENERIC! I have taken this antibiotic for all my sinus infections and never had any problems, but something is different. The manufacturer stopped making the 1000 mg's and now somebody new is making them again. Not sure if the same thing applies to the 875 mg's, but this time I've had to stop taking it. My heart has been beating hard and out of my chest, my blood pressure has been elevated, I'm stomach bloated, and kidneys hurting sharply. What are they putting in this stuff? I've discontinued the meds on day 7 of 10 and my symptoms are almost all gone. Thank goodness because the doctor signed me up for a heart monitor and ultrasound of my kidneys next week. I'm going to ask for brand name next time."


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


"I took plan b about 2 weeks ago my partner wasn't protected and I wasn't on any birth control...we had sex twice that week both times unprotected it wasn't until the second he told me he might have ejaculated  I was scared cause he had said told me days after our first sexual intercourse that week... I took plan be 5 days after my first intercourse and 1 day after my second I got my period 2 days before I really works guys but side effects for me were headaches,cramps and fatigue."


"My daughter is 21 and has had intractable epilepsy since age 7. Onfi is the first AED that has controlled her seizures.  She has been 4 months seizure free since starting to take 10mg Onfi twice a day."


"It worked, but had all the side effects. It was worth it, still had her early but she stayed in long enough to be healthy."


"Follow up on review posted over a year ago: I have just successfully quit Lexapro with a very slow 6 month taper. I took 10-15 mg for panic for one year, then started taper. Wanted to advise to taper ON this med as well as off! My Dr. had me jump right on at 10 mg and the first 3 weeks of adjustment was horrible...by contrast my taper off was a breeze because it was very gradual. Lexapro worked for me and I would take it again if ever necessary!"


"Fanapt is my fourth medication since September when I was finally diagnosed with Bipolar 2. Abilify, Latuda, and geodon made me feel like I wanted to come out of my skin. I was misdiagnosed for years. But this medication, in addition to my treatment plan, has completely changed my life. It did make me quite edgy at first and I still felt "unstable", so my doctor added Lithium last week to my Paxil,Lamictal,and Fanapt. I am feeling better than I have ever felt. I feel truly alive for the first time in my life. I go to counseling every week and I haven't missed one appointment since I started in September. So I'm doing my part as well. Thank God for therapy and medication!"


"I've suffered from severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder my entire adult life. Yaz has been wonderful for me. I began taking it nearly 2 years ago. It took some time for my body to adjust to Yaz, probably more than 6 months. The main side effect for me was heavy bleeding.

I've found the Yaz to be wonderful as long as I take it religiously the same time each day, within 1-2 hours. And deviation seems to bring on side effects. I recently switched from taking it before bed to taking it in the morning. The PMS mid-cycle was terrible. I may have to add a low dose of Prozac to help me through the adjustment."


"I get constipation quite often as I am unable to do much exercise due to hip pain. I've taken Dulcolax about 4 times in my lifetime and they have always worked, I would never advise taking 2 pills though, you get a big response, only take 2 if you're incredibly constipated (1  weeks of constipation), yes you will get side effects but they're bearable."


"I contacted hep c 30 yrs ago and found out that my liver wasn't doing so good. Quit drinking and all the dumb stuff 25 years ago. And been jogging gym every other day trying to take care of my liver. Well my liver was early stage 4 fibrosis. So I had to get treatment fast. I started Harvoni 9 weeks ago 3 more to go. And 0 side affects. I drink over a gallon of water per day and still visit the gym jog and play baseball on the weekends. My anxiety level was so awe-full about starting harvoni. I postponed it for 30 days and when decided to take the first pill I drove down to the hospital sit in the parking lot encase something happens..lol..lol. And it never did. So my advise is don't be like me. Swallow the pill. because its not bad at all."


"I am so confused about the explosive diarrhea reviews. Long story short, I got something last week that was more than just a common cold. Started with the usual scratchy throat, but by day 3, the cough was so unbearable that I later found out at urgent care I cracked a rib from coughing so hard. They gave me RX cough syrup which I only took once since the codene in it made me throw up violently (not fun with a cracked rib). Picked up some delsym around 1am at the pharmacy and actually slept for about 6 hours. Had to go to work the next morning and took my delsym with me. Didn't need to take another dose until about noon. I truly feel like this medicine saved my other ribs from my own abuse! Try it once before assuming you'll poop your pants"


"side effects- mood swings, depression,"


"I was given one injection of this with Benadryl by a nurse whom by the doctor in charge was not granted permission to administer the medications. I was sleeping in the ER after four days was woken up by the nurse and told I was a nuisance to him and he and three other male orderlies in the ER told me they were sick of seeing me there. I told him I might have a seizure if it's a drug that wasn't my current medicine and he said he didn't care. Ten minutes or less I had a seizure and the hospital then released me, I found out they were ill equipped to deal with seizures in the specific ER. What a total waste of time! Haldol was horrible for me. Would never recommend!"


"I am 20 years old and just started taking this medication because I was having trouble in school wrapping my head around the massive amount of data we have to learn at school. I have noticed a HUGE improvement on my comprehension while reading in my book, and much more interested and focused on everything my instructor says during the period of class time, and I actually remember it. It helps me complete my projects in school and stay focused on one task instead of walking around aimlessly wasting time seeing what everyone else is doing and saying "I can just do that tomorrow, or later on." I can finally sit down and get things done the way I should be. No crashing at the end of the day, or jitteriness."


"I have had MS since 99. Been on shots and different pills. So far Aubagio has been really good. I take at night so I don't have side affects,I also take 2 Tylenol PM with it to keep any issues away, works great! Just don't like the hair loss..will be addressing with hair tech. The PM pill really does help, please try for the people still in it. Bladder,I had fix years ago so I don't have issues with that. Please try..."


"What can I say but Thank God ! I've suffered from basically a full beard for over 30 years , having to shave daily , twice if I was going out in the evening . I've been using Vaniqa for nearly 4 weeks and the growth has slowed considerably . My GP in West Sussex couldn't prescribe due to the Practice having a 'black flag' on this ?? He wanted to but just wasn't able "


"I used fluoxetine specifically to tackle depression and social anxiety. Within DAYS my anxiety had left relieving my depression. I used to take it everyday to handle social situations in High School. Now I take it before social events and distressing and anxiety provoking situations. It helped me a lot."


"I have been on lithium for 5 months now. Worst part is feeling so flat on it. I take lithium 900mg, Zyprexa 10mg and lorazepam 1-2 mg daily. I do feel the lithium is working, but my moods are still not stable. I hope things level out more for me. I have been on carbamazepine for 17 years, and it just stopped working."


"Been taking this for five days.  The pressure in my sinus is lessening, and my fever is gone, but mucus production has increased, and so now my cough is worse.  Does this mean it's not working?
The best way I've found to avoid the adverse digestive effects (vomiting, etc) is to take a strong probiotic to replenish what the antibiotic kills.  You can ask your doctor for a prescription strength probiotic (they prescribe them for patients with ulcerative colitis) or find them in pill or drink form at a health food store.  "


"I've been on depression and anxiety medicine my whole life. I've dealt with some crappy medications EFFEXOR was by far the worst thing ever. I'm a 20 year old college student so I need to always be motivated. This medicine has caused everything in my life to go down hill. My grades are falling, I'm constantly angry, and feel sick and not wanting to eat. I LOVE TO EAT so this concerned me very much. And today I wasn't able to get my pills refilled in time, because I've been ridiculously lazy. So now I'm going through the flu symptoms that come along with this medication if you don't take it. I feel like balling my eyes out. Because every move I make right now makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. Don't take this medication. It's not worth it."


"I would not choose this drug again. SEVERE abd pain, i was in clinical on the 3 day of it and i barely could walk, it gets worse when i sat down. The pain is so bad i almost passed out. Do NOT recommend this to any one!!"


"I am on day 4 of 5 of medication after a diagnosis on pneumonia.  I have been sick for about three weeks, originally seen for a sinus infection which has since spread to my lungs.  My cough and breathing issues are subsiding more and more with each day.  No adverse side effects as long as medication is taken in the morning with food.  The first day, I took in afternoon and had some difficulty sleeping but have not experienced this problem since.  I am still quite fatigued but am assuming that is common with pneumonia. I am feeling so much better and cannot wait to be back to normal!"


"I got my Implanon two years ago. My periods actually got heavier and more timely than they had been but after 6 months nothing! I still have my sex drive, no weight gain from the birth control and I'm pretty sure any moodiness is just my age. I would suggest this to everyone! It is lovely. No work, no babies, my kind of birth control."


"For me this drug has helped when others have failed me. I started simponi and it worked great for months until I developed a severe allergic reaction to it for some reason then everything I tried after similar to simponi I became allergic to in some way. Finally I found an artical online that talked about the use of antibiotics to treat RA. That is when I asked my doctor about trying Doxycycline. She once took me off of it and tried Minocycline which did not work for me in fact it made me worse, please never try this. Then she took me off of everything I got worse again, until finally putting me back on the doxycycline recently and I am slowly getting better again."


"Ocular pressure down from 28 to 18 in 1 week."


"This med really helped me through a difficult time.  I had ongoing GI illnesses/food allergies that just wiped me out.  It took that to turn to a pharmaceutical aid.  It really did work.  It made me drowsy so I had to adjust from taking it in the morning until bedtime.  After my other physical trials passed (my GI system working properly), I did find that I gained a lot of weight and was a bit flat emotionally.  Even my hubs commented on seeming a bit too indifferent.  I chose to carefully wean off the medicined.  Weaning off the medicine takes a good deal of effort - be prepared for that.  Yet, I was thankful I had this medicine while I really needed it."


"I can NEVER get a full nights sleep. I was prescribed this for anxiety. It helped for that but the down fall was I got too sleepy to even function. But for sleep this worked amazing. I woke up feeling a little groggy but that wore off within about an hour. And man did I feel so rested after that!!"


"So far the worst is a swollen tongue, horrible taste in the mouth and all food tasting nasty.  With C-Diff, I can live with these side-effects.  I have no problem taking the pill.  Oh, and urine is a very dark color."


"I started taking 10mg Lisinopril 5 years ago. It worked to lower my HBP along w/ 100mg Metoprolol (110/70), and I only had a very minor cough. BUT I finally figured out after 5 years that it caused all of my MAJOR stomach issues over this time. We couldn't figure it out, so I gave up and cut a ton of foods out of my diet, which was miserable. I was switched to Losartan and my stomach issues went away OVERNIGHT and I'm able to eat like a normal person again. Lisinopril inflamed my GI tract and caused it to hurt constantly. I found out this could be called "intestinal angioedema" but my doctors are skeptical. It lowered my blood pressure, but I'm glad to be off of it and on something else that works just as well w/out side effects."


"The best anti-anxiety drug I've taken, bar none. Xanax works for me as well but Klonopin seems to have a more subtle, drawn-out effect on me. I can take it at day or at night, it doesn't make me sleepy but I rest better when I take it. Takes a little while to kick in, but that's not a problem for me. Just an all-around godsend."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I was having severe migraines for about 5 months. The doctor tried every medication available. I would only buy 4 because I didn't want to waste money on the whole prescription and it not work. Imitrex made me so sick!!!  I had remember from the early 90's when I would get cluster headaches and the doctor put me on Midrin. Out of the blue, I asked the doctor to try this again. He didn't think it was available, but my pharmacy said they could compound it. Again I bought 4 pills, thinking I was wasting my money but desperate. Bam.... migraine stopped within 20 minutes of taking. Sometimes, it takes a second dose if I have a severe one. But, I feel it is under control now. I have fibromyalgia, the migraines are a sensory issue smells, sounds."


"It works, but makes you really tired"


"I have taken many antihypertensive medications with an array of side effects none of which any of the 3 doctors I've seen discussed with me. Pseudo lupus is common with Exforge. Cough, bronchospasms, cold symptoms,sweating, feel exhausted, tired"


"I had DEEP, purple bruising cystic acne (difficult to pop and really didn't have much pus; mostly hard swelling) on my chin, shoulders and back. I am about 7 months in. My face is mostly clear and I don't get any more of the bad pustules; the acne I do get is small and pops easily. Redness and buttery looking face is gone. It really did help my acne/skin.

HOWEVER
I am sad to say I had too many scary side effects and have stopped taking it:
-I had random soreness: under forearms, above heels, back of calves, inner thighs, tips of fingers. It hurt to walk, sit and type.
-My legs would twitch at night and keep me awake. My ankles/toes would suddenly flex.
-I had an uneasy feeling like I was coming down with a cold the entire time I was on it"


"I just started Contrave and Friday will be my first full week. Day one started out a little scary but that was to be expected because I didn't know how my body would react to this medication. Well let me just say to everyone AWESOME SAUCE! So far I feel wonderful. I use to take phentermine and it just had me all over the place. I started drinking more alcohol which made me gain more weight. With Contrave I don't drink anymore alcohol (literally I don't crave it) no more sweets and I have a much better mood going on which is awesome! I lost already, not even being being my full week around 4 lbs. Which is great! I don't want to eat on contrave but I have to force myself. I will continue my follow next week"


"Pack a day for 20 years. Took zyban for a week then just smoked my last cigarette, threw anything smoke related into the trash and changed my thought patterns completely. Zyban is helpful but it's also a lot to do with your mindset. You have to WANT to stop. Give yourself a good reason and you won't smoke again. My suggestion is to keep taking the medication for a while, I completed a 3 month prescription and never bothered again. I can be around smokers, I can now see why non smokers HATE standing next to a smoker it is so amazing to have kicked this habit. Who cares if you used a pill, keep positive and change your lifestyle!"


"My skin looks amazing and my weight is the same. One bad side effect. My depression has increased. "


"Firstly it is worth noting that I chose this form of birth control as a complete last resort and rather hesitently, I have tried 3 different types of combined pill, a progesterone only pill and a Nexplanon (bled everyday for 18 months) I am 24. I also suffered from constant yeast infections, my doctor said it was worth a go otherwise I would have to rely just on condoms. So I had the Mirena inserted about two months ago and what can I say?? My breasts are no longer sore, my spots have improved, I've lost over half a stone, not one bit of spotting (a real worry) and the most important thing of all....no thrush! I am absolutely gobsmacked! My sex drive is slowly returning also, it seems mad that such a small device can seemingly mend years of infections."


"It's a wonder drug. I have been using it for the last four years and have found the problem to improve dramatically."


"I have only had nexplanon for about 1 month and I already feel like getting it taken out. I had a cycle in November right after I had my daughter in Septemeber. My cycle in November only lasted 3 days and on my last day was the day I got nexplanon in. The first of December I started spotting old blood/brown blood for 7 days then my regular period came I was happy then it last for 7 days straight ok I can handle that. So from Dec 8 to Dec 14 I had my cycle so for 3 days no bleeding or spotting of any kind then all of a sudden on Dec 19 I started spotting brown/old blood and that is still continuing and now I'm starting to get cramping with it and the blood is starting to turn a brighter red. In calling my doc today."


"This drug really helped my depression and irregular moods.  It also helped to stop my restless leg syndrome.  However, I used to be quite slim (108 lbs) and now I'm getting very chubby- I'm afraid to look on the scale.  I also have been having severe night sweats and I'm only 30 years old.  All of a sudden I've been passing gas frequently, too. This drug, despite the side-effects has been wonderful for me. I've been able to start working again after several months of unemployment."


"Definitely takes the edge off. Much more stable. Currently taking 600mg. Along with 50mg of Citalopram and 300mg of Bupropion. Have no problem drinking the suggested amount of water. The real side effect I am experiencing is my hands shake, a lot. I cannot hold a cup of coffee or type on a keyboard at times. I know it's the Lithium because I stopped taking it for about a month and the tremors stopped. Once I started up again, so did the tremors."


Acetaminophen / dextromethorphan / doxylamine / pseudoephedrine

"It helps wonderfully for about 10 minutes then it slowly makes my throat dry."


"I have Multiple Sclerosis and all that comes with it. After some years of easy going I suddenly found my feet would feel like they were on fire so I arranged an appointment with my Neurologist at the local MS clinic and was prescribed Gabapentin 5% in Lipoderm. This is a creamy compound the chemist has to make each refill order and it does take a couple days notice. Anyway, the very first time I applied the lotion to the feet the pain, which was so severe I would cry in agony, dissipated rapidly and was gone within 15 minutes. I use
1 ML twice a day to the feet and am pain free. I can not say it does anything to the numbness of the toes and bottom of feet but there is no pain to that so it is not a problem."


"I've had a pretty good experience with this oral contraceptive since I started taking it about a year ago.  I originally started taking it as both a birth control method and to help manage hormonal acne that I suffered with as a result of a previous IUD that left me with a hormonal imbalance.  Since using Tri-Previfem or Tri-Estarylla (depending on what my pharmacy has at the time) my acne has become significantly better, and when something does pop up it is much easier to manage.  Also, cramping during menstruation is no longer an issue for me.  The only "negative" side effect I've noticed is that I'm left with "swollen" painful/sore breasts nearly every day."


"I have had chronic constipation for as long as I can remember. I have tried every remedy, over the counter medication, tea, prune juice and all worked but not ideal. When I saw the advertisements for Linzess I thought finally something that will help me. I was prescribed this drug and have nothing but severe diarrhea for a month and a half. I have tried taking at different time a day and night. Setting my alarm to get up and take before I go to work, hoping I can make it out of the house. I have taken before bed, but woke up to an accident. I can't seem to get past the diarrhea. I am happy that the drug works, but cannot with the unpredictable diarrhea. I'll contact my Dr. for a smaller dose, but may need to stop."


"Man I started open minded and optimistic.

But til I just found this forum I thought I was going insane. Side effects are ridiculous insomnia was immediate and depression suicidal thoughts dizziness foggy mind STOMACH PAIN sluggish shortness of breath and very angry. I tried fighting through thinking I had the flu or something  I made a Dr appt but I just couldn't wait I was going crazy I went to e.r they seen physically I was drained and out of breath but couldn't find a source end up just saying bronchitis inflammation of my throat. I am better after 2days off of meds from e.r had the energy to look ithis up lol. I won't be taking it anymore I almost admitted myself to the crisis center...never  had every side effects like this."


"I have been taking two (one in the morning and one at night) 5mg Valium for the last five years.  It has worked wonders for me. I have not changed the dosage and have had no reason to increase it. Before I started this medicine, I would literally tremble when I would get nervous.  I don't even feel it in any way when I take it, but don't get anxious and am able to make decisions that I can't when I'm so nervous.  This medicine has worked miracles for me and if anyone thinks because it is a controlled substance that it is not a really good medicine for some people then they are wrong."


"I just finished a 4 month regimen of Rifampin.  It was prescribed when I was tested for TB in preparation for starting on a biologic for Rheumatoid Arthritis.  I have no idea how/when I was exposed to TB but I couldn't start the biologic until the latent TB was addressed.  I will never know if it was "effective" since I will always test positive for TB antigens but I'm glad I took it-didn't have much of a choice!  It was not an easy medication to take but I got through the course of treatment better than I anticipated.  I did have slight nausea at the beginning and intermittent watery diarrhea throughout.  I don't know if the other side effects (fatigue, primarily) I experienced were side effects of Rifampin or symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis."


"I have been taking this medication for 1 month for Spondyloarthritis - 10mg in the morning and 15mg Mobic at night and have noticed the following improvements - improvement in planta fasciitis to point of being minor, improvement in bursitis on opposite foot to being minor, improvement in pain in thumb from not being able to hold a pen to being able to give firm handshake. No adverse reactions. Swelling in toe still evident but reduced in foot. Was advised of side effects and have altered diet and increased exercise to avoid any weight gain.  Have lost weight which may be associated with altered regime or this medicine. "


"I have been on the pill for six years now and never experienced any problems up until I switched to this one. I have been on it for about two years and the first six months were great; I never had periods, no acne, slight moodiness but that seemed pretty normal. And for the last year and half I have had horrible acne, I have been very moody, and irregularity in my periods. I loved it at first, but it's like it suddenly took a nasty turn. But every woman's anatomy is different and I recommend asking a professional about different types of birth control."


"Why is this medication even approved to give to anyone?!  Oh yah, so the drug companies can get rich.  1 dose of this medication, I had severe diarrhea, vomiting for a week!  STAY AWAY FROM THIS MEDICATION. Doctor does not care about side effects.  Uuuuuuuuggggg!"


"I'm 53 year old male.  First back surgery was when I was 30.  Have had 5 lower back surgeries total.  Last one was a fusion L5-S1. Big mistake. Major nerve damage and left my left leg, mostly my foot and toes numb. Have been on hydrocodone for years and years, which helped, but you build up a tolerance. My new pain doctor asked me if I had ever taken  Neurontin?  I advised no. He wrote me a script of 300mg up to 4 a day.  It has made a major difference in pain level. I only take one hydrocodone a day and that is when I first wake up. Downside is feeling groggy and dry mouth, but I can deal with that. Big difference in my life now.  Much better."


"I was diagnosed with perimenopause in 2010 which included anxiety depression and mood swings at the age of 40. I had blood clots flowing down my legs for ten days then in 13 days I would bleed again . I would be double over in pain. I became anemic and still am . My Dr has me on anti depressants for anxiety which is working. After 4 years I was sent to Gyno. She did ultrasound and discovered I had adenomyosus and endometriosis.  She did a D&C it was too complicated to do ablation or hysterectomy.  The Gyno recommended mirena. She put in 3 weeks ago . Dr cut string so can't feel it. Some light spotting and cramping and no period for 31 days now. Gyno will check in five weeks  it takes 7 months to get full effect.  give it a chance ! Love it so far."


"This medicine has been the best at treating my depression. I've tried Prozac, Pristiq, Effexor and Trintellix and Wellbutrin's stimulating properties are what have made this drug so effective for me. Every other antidepressant I've been on has made me feel drugged, zoned out and tired. Probably the best out of all the other antidepressants I tried was Effexor, but even then it triggered what I know believe to have been manic episodes.

Sad thing is that this drug is no longer effective for me after 3 years."


"I used Oracea for severe rosacea. I experienced only mild improvements. I repeatedly got a skin infection around the eyes which was resolved with a topical anti-fungal. The infections alone are a reason to mark this medicine down."


"I have had a severe headache for 5 days and this medicine doesn't even scratch the surface of the pain."


"Weight gain, lethargic 300 dosage at bed time, any more you'll have heads turning in public. Reclusion is a major problem do to zombie affects, messed up part is my roommates had to tell me cuz I didn't even notice. I have not been able to get a job. I tried college and it didn't work. My short term memory is short, can't even remember what I ate for dinner three days ago. I do sleep though. All you can do is push on and forget gl"


"Cymbalta helped my depression slightly, but my vision deteriorated and it caused profuse sweating"


"When the world is closing in on me I take a Xanax and suddenly I'm able to function again. I can learn and adapt and I feel like I can capture and retain information better. Without it any new information is lost on me and my learning process is inhibited. The little stuff is not a problem anymore and I can focus on accomplishing anything I need to. I didn't start having anxiety attacks until after college. I did really well and all of a sudden I felt like in the real world I could not meet the expectations because of how well I did in school. Everything became too much. Debt, learning a new job, reading (which is my favorite thing to do), being with family and friends. I hit a wall. Even with anti-depressants I could not function."


"This is day two for me taking the medicine, and already my face has broke, I'm very tired, and I feel anxious at times and like crying at others. I don't like it. I'm going back to latunda"


"I had little acne at the start of the year, and I was starting to worry that it would get worse later in the year.... And it did. At the beginning I had normal skin, never had oily or dry. But then it became really oily and then on some days really dry. Before the medication I didn't break out that much but now???? I break out daily. 4 months on this medication and it gave me a glimpse of hell. I have so much acne scars on my chin, the side of my face and the forehead (especially) just because of this medicine. The dermatologist I went to said it was a gentle one. How was this gentle????"


"Simple change my life. Just one hour after taking my first dose my nose was clean and I could breathe, dripping completely stopped, I do not have any of the effects mentioned here, I take my dose every day before going to sleep and I even feel I sleep better thanks the effect of the drug. I am so happy! I only regret not having used it before"


"I have many things wrong with me, one of them being IBS. I was having such a hard time carrying out my daily routines because I would be in the bathroom most of the time. My stomach hurt real bad too. It was so bad I had to go to the Urgent Health Care then the hospital. They could not find anything abnormal in my blood work or my CAT scan so the doctor prescribed these. Within days I was feeling great! Now I am on them all the time because that is how severe my condition is but it makes life a lot easier. It takes away the stomach cramping and I only have a bowel movement like 3 times a day compared to 20-30."


"I could not recommend this birth control any less. Yes, it worked for preventing pregnancy and it made my period regular, but this stuff made me crazy. I had horrible mood swings, it affected my sleep, I gained weight, lost my appetite, and even lost the desire to have sex. I would rather abstain from sex than take this stuff anymore. I wouldn't recommend this stuff."


"*Update #3 or 4 lol.. I've been on Saxenda 2.4 current dose, I have lost a total of 28lb in 2.5 months! I am having some gut issues now, constipation, DO NOT eat sweets , I get very sick when I eat anything like a bite of a brownie or a York paddy, body won't tolerate the sugar, which for me is GREAT. I started at 208, I am now 184, average loss of 2 lbs a week. I'm super happy with this medicine. I do feel as I've hit a plateau,  so I need NOT drink wine or diet sodas, when I drink only water and some milk , I drop about 3 lbs a week."


"Prescribed this after Wisdom tooth removal. Worked fine with no issues at a fairly low dose. Use the Lowest dose for ONLY as long as needed. Then used Tylenol after that for a few days and all went well.  Use these as your doc says only."


"Complete relief for 6 months now. I have taken the shot 4 times every 6 months.no side effects"


"I'm bipolar with mania. Also, I've been a addict for 25 years (self medicating my mania). I hated all the mood stabilizers I've ever tried, but would always eventually go back to using. Anyone that has lived in a constant manic state of mind knows how hard it is. After many many years of trying to get clean I reluctantly gave Lamictal a try. It has literally saved my life. It has totally balanced my crazy brain. My thoughts are not a 1000 miles an hour, I can actually sleep and eat normal and most importantly I no longer self medicate by using drugs and alcohol. My wife can write a book of what this medication has done for me and our family."


"Ambien itself is fantastic, never missed a night of sleep and 8 hours a night. On the other hand, this generic zolpidem tartrate is absolute garbage. I've tried for a very, very long time to see if it would work and it never has. I noticed it slowly stopped working when I picked up the new prescription for what I was told would be ambien but was the zolpidem. I do not only barely sleep with it, I do not sleep at all when I take it. Keeps me up until the next night, makes me feel mildly high without sleeping, and they just do not work at all. I've read so many reviews in the past hour or so sharing the same experience. Cheaper is not better when its prescription meds. Someone should tell the moronic Big Pharma companies."


"I've been on the depo shot for 9 months now. I love the ease of use, only having to get a shot every 3 months is beautiful if you're a forgetful person like me and struggle a bit with remembering to take the pill at the same time daily. No pregnancy worries! I'm also less moody on the depo shot than I was with no birth control and when I was on the pill.
Con: However, biggest downside and the reason I will be switching back to the pill within a month, there has not been a 24 hour length of time during the past 9 months in which I did not bleed. I have bled, in random amounts, daily since I began it 9 months ago. It's horrible during and after intercourse, if I do kegals, if I work out, nothing can stop it."


"I've severe ADD, in Romania ADHD was recognised for adults only a couple of years ago, Ritalin like meds aren't legal for adults, only Strattera and I need to take my parents to testify I'd had symptoms since my childhood - impossible. As I also used to fight not to fall asleep during the day, e.g. tramways, my family doctor wrote a prescription Modafinil 100mg -I  couldn't afford to buy more, it was ~E100, now ~E20. Tried one pill in my free days - had no real effect. Later I found a bigger dose had a great effect on my ADD. Dosage matters. Huge help for depression from not being able to handle your life & for related pb. I'm 42 - quality of life & being able to have things done matters more than some side effects (headaches used to be just at first)"


"Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!! I have been suffering from Hyperhidrosis for almost 10 years when a coworker suggested drysol. And to my surprise it actually worked!! I tried all the over the counter deodorants and they never did the trick but this did. I use about once a week and have no problems. If i do miss a dosage I do notice that the sweating is a little worse but then i just put it on that night and all is good. I would HIGHLY recommend this product!"


"It did the job when it came birth control. But within a couple of weeks of taking it, I knew that my moods were off. I went from loving my SO to waiting to murder and break up with him in the matter of him just breathing. This was more than normal PMS, which I never really had to begin with. But what I think was the worst was the weight gain. I started taking this in Feb of 2017 and it is currently May, I gained over 20 pound. My periods were light, so light that it worried me. They stayed around the same duration which for me is 2-4 days. I did the job that birth control is suppose to do, but the side effects were terrible. I am trying my hardest to get off of it."


"I have been taking Valium for about 6 months now and I thank God every day. I have been put on many different medicines to help with pain, anxiety and very bad night terror's. This medicine has helped with all of these with few side effects. I hope this has been helpful to you. I know it has been for me."


"I started Effexor XR (generic version) about 3 weeks ago. I will admit, the bottle sat on my counter for a week before I took my first one, because the negative reviews terrified me. I finally took one and I am so glad I did! I have been on practically every anxiety/ depression med there is and had kind of lost hope with them working. I have also tried several different natural methods and they helped a little bit, but not nearly enough. I struggle mainly with anxiety and have for about 15 years now. By day 3, I had already noticed a difference. It's been 3 weeks & not only is my anxiety significantly better, I no longer have swollen joints or numbness in my hands & feet, I'm so much happier & way less stressed. Life changing!!"


"I have been on ADD meds off and on for about 10 years. I'm 33 and before Vyvance I had tried Concerta and Adderrall. While the other two were ok, they did not benefit me nearly as much as Vyvance. In one semester I went from making a 50 on a College Algebra test to making a 100% on the comprehensive final. My professor said he had never seen anything like it, someone going from a 50 to 100. For the first time in my life I remembered to pay bills on time, I don't forget about the clothes in the washer for days, or forget to turn off the stove. I feel so much more accomplished!!"


"I just started taking this medicine about a week ago.  I'm 34 years old, healthy, active, and we believe my high blood pressure is attributed to genetics.  I was adopted, so I am unsure whether or not I have a biological history of hbp.  After a year or monitoring my bp, I finally decided that I needed to see the doc about it.  He originally prescribed me Lisinopril, in which I became lightheaded and dizzy, so he switched me to HCTZ starting off at 6.25mg(dividing the 12.5mg dosage).  The day after I took my first dose, my bp had already went down to normal levels.  I was amazed.  I really didn't experience anything else other than going to the bathroom more often, which isn't too inconvenient for me.  But now I'm beginning to feel lazy."


"I have a complicated relationship with this drug. On one hand, I've been on everything for depression (specifically), and nothing helped. I'm talking like 20  medications here, so it's been a rollercoaster.  most antidepressants were useless for me and the time period for effectiveness is usually over 1 month. Seroquel usually takes 2 weeks to start having an effect. It works for my depression - but I'm sedated and have to sleep a lot. Being a student can make this challenging. shift work and the like would be hard too. It's my last bet for now because I literally start to crumble to psychosis without it. However it is debilitating and feels restrictive. Beats the psych ward I guess.    good luck and keep trying,  sometimes it takes a while."


"The insertion was not bad at all! It was a 2/10 for pain at the most, getting my ears pierced hurt more! I had an excellent doctor do the insertion though. I also took a flexeril and 800mg of ibuprofen about an hour before the procedure. Definitely have bleeding but I was able to sit up and go home after. I had my bf there to hold my hand and drive me home. But feeling good! Hopefully over the next few months things will stay good! Be ready to give a urine sample before! (To check for pregnancy)"


"I've been on a variety of medicines over the years, including Risperdal, Geodon with Zyprexa, and now Abilify.  Though I feel I'm overly medicated at 40mg per day of Abilify, I've improved to the point where I don't hear voices or feel paranoid anymore and am active in the community. I take it at night and sleep around 9 to 10 hours per night.  Not sure if that's normal with Abilify or not, but I'm not complaining.  Surprisingly no other side effects."


"I am a 33 year old female recently prescribed 20mg of Cymbalta for Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and PTSD. This medication has rapidly stabilized my condition and greatly contributed to better mood regulation. In less than a week, Cymbalta alleviated suicidal thoughts and my level of distress in response to triggers. Intrusive memories and fearfulness have been very minimal. Daily crying episodes are significantly reduced. Short term side effects included nausea, sharp decrease in appetite, and fatigue. Ongoing side effects are dizziness, afternoon drowsiness, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Dizziness is manageable if I drink water throughout the day. No sexual side effects experienced while on this drug."


"Just started taking Janumet 1000 my yesterday. Luckily my daughter who studies Med at Uni read the instructions. I had a headache which she said was low blood sugar. After I ate something the headache disappeared. I have got severe diarrhea though both nights, OK in the morning???"


"This medication was great to reduce coughing and to sleep well at night after a few sleepless nights before the med.  But I developed very bad constipation after a few nights (I took it only once a day, before bedtime) which was so bad that I would never use this medication again."


"had it long back for 6months 1/2 tab twice a day for stomach infection with other medicine . Realized very late that I was allergic to this medicine. felt like ending my life. depressed."


"Monistat 1!!! This medicine is unbelievable!. First of all it puts you in more pain and discomfort than you were already in!!! The burning sensation in unbareable,.. I'm literally sitting on the toilet trying to push it out I can't even sleep it's been in for about 2 hrs... Use the 3 or 7 day is less harsh"


"Only downfall is price."


"I have had this condition for thirty years. No one should have to live in that much pain for so many years. Doctor started me on Savella 14 days ago. I pray it keeps up the good work. Its about time. I would love to just take this medicine and vitiams. That would be great. I can get out of bed and walk. First time in 30 years. See its not in all our heads."


"I started on this almost a year ago. I noticed from the beginning my mood changed. I felt mad and annoyed more. But other than that, this is great! My period is never a surprise, and I'm not pregnant, so 10 stars."


"I've been on Lutera non-stop for about 5 years.

Pros: Never had any noticeable weight gains, acne, mood swings, cramping, or any other side effects that would be linked to the pills. Also no pregnancies, which is kind of the whole point!

Cons: Within the past year or two, I've noticed a big decrease in sex drive. Also stopped taking it for a week or two recently (was on antibiotics) and my next period was medium flow for almost two weeks. Noticed my PMS kicked in big time when I took that time off."


"I took two Dulcolax around 5pm with some yogurt & a lot of water. Never having used laxatives or stool softeners before, I decided to read a few online reviews...bad idea. People's reviews had me thinking I was going to end up in the ER! And, apparently taking Dulcolax with antacids or yogurt is a big "no-no". I waited. About 4 hours later I had some mild cramping (not even close to as painful as I find my period cramps to be) which lasted about 30 minutes. Shortly after I went to sleep. I awoke 4 in the morning needing to GO. Such a huge relief! My tummy feels much better. In hindsight, I'd only take one, avoid the dairy, & take it right before bed. Overall the product did what it's intended to do with mild side effects."


"I was in detox to get off heroin. I was banging my head against the wall while in the hospital. The Doctor finally gave me Trazodone and I slept great. I've been taking it ever since. It's been 13 years."


"Saved my life.   Nothing else worked.   Other drugs intensified the headache.

I much prefer the injection.   Less of the drug is needed and the effective result occurs more quickly.

Side effects - I can get night/sleep sweats and have "odd" dreams that do not otherwise occur."


"I have been on Contrave for 2 weeks. I take 1 pill in the a.m. and 1 pill in the evening. So far the only side effects l have experienced are excessive sweating and dry mouth. These are minor considering I've already lost 5 pounds. I did have some eye twitching after I started taking 2 pills a day. Overall I am thrilled with the results. I Will be starting two pills in the a.m. today. I am anxious to see how well it they work."


"Wow took the spasms away to where I can bear the pain. Taken with my cocktail & shots my pain has decreased dramatically..."


"Love this medicine!  No side effects for me.  Anyone having obesity issues which USUALLY means you will end up as a diabetic, should give this medicine a try.  It will change your life for the better."


"I just started Zoloft 2 weeks ago and have noticed an immense change in how I've been feeling. I used to be very sad and anxious about my relationship that ended badly, and I would binge eat lots of bread and bagels. Since taking it, I've had this new outlook on life.... I've been content with everything. A simple inner peace. I used to be obsessive about my weight (combined with the binge eating, it was a messy combination.) but since then I've been able to eat balanced and not even weigh myself (used to weigh myself compulsively) I've had greater self confidence and wake up every morning excited for my day. I no longer have the crazy anxieties I used to about getting crazy life threatening illnesses. zoloft has been incredible for me."


"My intention is not to freak anyone out, but just to encourage people to discuss the possibility of conception, even with emergency contraception. Is Plan B effective? Yes. Is it 100% effective? NO! So please consider the possibility instead of listening to someone on the internet who tells you not to worry, and that this pill works without a doubt. This is your life and you need to be safe and take care of yourself. Don't stress, but don't put all your faith in what some users seem to consider a "magic pill"."


"A continuation from a previous post of mine… So I developed Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) several months ago; I NOW believe it was linked to the YI or BV I had been avoiding. The first night the BMS hit me, my throat felt like it was torched, my tongue & gums were on fire. Assuming it was my dental crown, I had my dentist replace existing crown - NOT A CURE. Wk after wk prayed & tried a million different things. Come to find out, after taking this med it is 99% gone & in another week or so it will no doubt be completely gone. I BELIEVE THIS MED CURED MY BURNING MOUTH SYNDROME!!! I thank God & feel like I've been given a new life -- anyone that has SUFFERED from BMS absolutely knows what I'm talking about. Words cannot describe the insane pain/discomfort!!!"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"So it's been about 2 months now. And through the entire experience I haven't had any side effects. I just had blood work done about a week ago and am awaiting to see where my viral load is at. So I'll post again when I find out."


"Developed pneumonia after a bad case of influenza that kept increasing my fever over 8 days. Almost went to the ER as I have another neurological condition, but was able to see my doctor again. Pneumonia has developed and Avelox was prescribed along with the continuation of my other medicines. As my voice had not been present for days, I had noticed a huge improvement within 12hrs already. I would say for me and my other health concerns and for not having much of an appetite during this illness, this medicine is bringing me back to normal fast. Good luck to whomever needs this and needs to feel better ASAP."


"Of the 4 medications I've been on for social anxiety Zoloft helped me the most.  "


"I have major depression and was prescribed Lamictal along with the Abilify and Wellbutrin that I was already taking.  I was surprised because Lamictal is usually given to bipolar people and I'm absolutely not bipolar, but it has really helped me.  The only side effect I noticed is a tendency to break out a little more (not THE RASH).  No weight gain (weight gain is an issue with so many other depression meds) and no other problems."


"I had this put in back in December. Since then, I had a three month long period, a week break, three weeks on and a week off back and forth and I'm at my breaking point. My anxiety is worse than ever and my depression I thought I had been cured of is slowly getting worse and worse. I've gained 30+ pounds and I'm miserable. I can't have sex and it's heavily effecting my marriage, not to mention the constant mood swings and the general emotional apocalypse that is Nexplanon. But hey, we're not pregnant."


"I was started on Neurontin for hot flashes. I am also diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Not only are my hot flashes gone but so is my anxiety! This medicine has been a miracle for me. I have suffered with anxiety almost all of my life and this is the first medication that actually takes away anxiety. It gives me the sense of relaxation and calmness. It's also not addictive."


"I had unprotected sex with my partner and he finished in me. I was freaked out. I immediately got my birth control the next day and began taking it. I had stopped taking it for some months because during the time I was not sexually active. Because its been so long since I've taken it it made me a little sick. My body was not immune to the hormones anymore. I got parranoid and thought I was pregnant and got my partner to go get the morning after pill. I actually took it later than the box said. My dumbass thought it was within 5 days so I took it on the 4th day. A week later my period started. I'm going to take a pregnancy test to be double sure though once my period goes off. I think it worked."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Started at 5p, drank 5 glasses. Started working within 1st hour. 2 more at midnight, and now working on the other half at 3am. Bowel keep bubbling and now I have green poop. Im sure Im cleaned out, but I dont want to have to repeat this... So Im gonna make it below 3/4 of a gallon. Worst is the heartburn feeling. And I havent had soilds for 2 days.. So at this point I'm exhausted."


"I feel normal and am at my best functionality in years. I've been on 150 mg for 4yrs. I'm so grateful.  Hypomania sustained and managed. I sleep 9hours a night ,I own my own business and am a single parent. I'm very calm."


"I was prescribed 50mg Trazodone for sleep issues and have found it actually preventing me from getting to sleep.  I have a feeling of being "wired", have weird dreams when I finally get to sleep (but not for long periods) and have a generally drugged feeling in the morning when getting up.  I have discontinued using it and notified my doctor."


"Been on paroxetine for 10 weeks and still no change. Still suicidal. I also have bi-polar disorder and anxiety issues."


"This has been the most effective medicine I have ever taken for my Schizoaffective Bipolar Type disorder, and I have tried seven different anti-psychotics prior to starting Vraylar. I was in a manic state when I took this medicine the first time, and shortly after the first dose the mania stopped completely. I am not experiencing any side effects whatsoever from Vraylar. This medicine has the efficacy of Clozaril, without all of the nasty side effects. I am truly grateful this medicine exists, without it I would have probably been hospitalized. Overall, I am extremely happy with this medication and I am so happy I finally found something that works for me."


"My first choice for muscle spams"


"I would just like to state some things for anyone reading the negative reviews and getting worried, because these comments stressed me out for weeks. It is important to understand a couple things. For one, people who experience no negative side effects don't tend to write reviews, because they are so content with the product that they don't think about it. Secondly, all birth control pills affect each individual completely differently. What one person thinks is the best pill another will swear up and down it is the worst. If your doctor prescribes this pill for you, don't be too afraid to take it. Give it a chance and it may be great for you, as it was for me. If it's not, just stop taking it and find one that better suits your body."


"I have been on contrave since Jan 2. 2016, and have lost about 12lbs. I did experience nausea in the beginning. I am very happy with starting this medication. It helps me curbe my binge eating and depression."


"It has now been 7 weeks since I started Saxenda for my weight loss. I am please, I am down 26 pounds. I feel good!
I am travelling this week and not sure if I can take these Novo disks on the plane with me in my carry on. I still have bouts of nausea. But for the most part, I feel good.
Thank you."


"I get cystic acne, so my dermatologist gave me EpiDuo. It definitely helped get rid of the pain and redness, and made the pimples less noticeable. BUT - if you have dry skin, beware! My dermatologist told me to put a pea-sized amount all over my face every night. I did that, and after about 3 days, my skin was flaky and painfully dry. I can only use it as a spot treatment now because it's just too harsh on my skin."


"I tried to get through the awful side effects but am throwing in towel after a month. Horrible abdomen pain, gas, nausea are just too much. I don’t tolerate metformin well also. Will try Junuvia next."


"I had MVA over 20 years ago leaving me w  chronic migraines complete w nausea/ vomit, but I get the diarrhea issue frequently as well. They often begin w frequent urination.
Amerge helps usually in first 10 minutes (only occasionally need the second dose In a day) I still usually need to relax in dark calm area but symptoms are more manageable. One problem is the dr usually only order 9/month which is not enough for a CHRONIC migrainer"


"I started using Maxzide 15 years ago and it reduced my blood pressure which was between 135 and 160 to less than 130. I am now 71 and another medicine has been added. But 15 years on side effects and all was well."


"I am a 27yr old female, 115lbs. I have been on Lexapro for 2 months now for anxiety. I have never had any problems with anxiety until I started working full-time (a lot of hours that are non-stop) and I started planning my wedding. All of this made me very irritable, stressed to the max, edgy, worried about every little thing, and just not myself. Since I've been on Lexapro I've been back to myself and better. I'm relaxed and easy going through this stressful time! It took a few weeks for the medicine to kick in and for me to get over a few side effects (insomnia, constipation, tired in the afternoon) but it's totally worth it."


"I got on Camrese to help control my endometriosis.  I ended up hospitalized with extreme high blood pressure and severe vascular migraines.  Never had these issues before Camrese.  After 7 days of bedrest, I am still waiting for this BCP to get out of my system."


"I am 21 years old and started taking Loestrin Fe in the beginning of September. I have heard that birth control is supposed to make you gain weight, but I've actually been steadily losing weight, and that's without taking my Metformin regularly (which I am now back on). My breasts also continue to grow in size, and are quite tender for about a week leading up to my period. I get some cramps but they don't last very long. I had pretty bad PMS for a couple days before my first period, but once I started my period I was fine. Before taking this regularly I was on progesterone for ten days once every three months but had not gotten a menstrual cycle from it for three doses. For PCOS, this is great."


"I was given  nortriptyline by a pain doctor 7 years ago. It did help somewhat with the pain.
However the side effects have been giving me problems ever since. I have problems concentrating but worse than that I daydream constantly.  I can't shut it off. It lasts for hours.
It is like it turned on a daydreaming switch in my brain and I can't shut it off. I went off of it expecting it to stop. It never has. It gets more unmanageable. I do not know what to do."


"Wellbutrion (bupropion) has been in my life for quite the number of years.  Many of the others I tried had side effects not worth living with.  My dosage is maxed at 450mg daily.  It is my wife that first notices if I miss a dosage (my regularity is terrible - memory) ; if it's a couple of days or so, I can't even live with myself.
The drug is being taken in combination with: lamotrigine, fluvoxamine, klonopin.  There are still days that I am completely worthless - there is no energy or motivation to do anything: my lungs and heart have to remind to get back in gear!  There is also a "fog" that seems to impress itself on my thoughts and concentration.  On the flip side I can't stand myself without them, more importantly neither can my wife."


"Previously, I was on a microgestin pill from Planned Parenthood, but I wanted a pill that would let me have my periods so they switched me to Chateal. It was a bit more potent than the one I was previously on but I really did not experience any worse side effects. I experienced moderate weight gain - I am already pretty petite though so this did not bother me. The only time I experience any mood problems is the few days preceding my period. The pack that I have has the 4th row of reminder/sugar pills, and I usually do not start bleeding until my 3rd or 4th day in, and the periods are light and very manageable. All in all I have had a great experience, however my transition from microgestin pills to Chatel may have played a leading role."


"was on this for 4 months for anxiety and depression. I found it awful. Depression worsened within the first month. Increased risk of self harming and urge like I never had. Restless legs for the first week while I tried to sleep and awful insomnia. Felt like a shell of who I was, impaired thinking and felt a heavy feeling in my head. Felt so much better when I came off it, worst thing I ever have done was go on this medication. Doctors hand them out now like sweets without people really knowing the risks/side effects. I understand they work for some people however this drug does not work for everyone, as stated on the info."


"I first started with the NuvaRing and ended up having to get my gallbladder removed. I have been on reclipsen for 3 years now and the only pros for me are that I do have much clearer skin and am not pregnant BUT I have awful migraines multiple times a month so bad that I now have a prescription from my neurologist also have basically NO sex drive which is driving my boyfriend insane. And I am insanely sensitive and cry almost everyday during the placebo week."


"I was on metoprolol 100 for about 1 year it caused anxiety, heart palpitations, dizziness, tiredness a general ill/ bad feeling. My doctor finally offered new medicines and the Bystolic 10mg is the best thing that could have happened for me. I was nervous at first because of my experience with other beta blockers, honestly apart from taking it every morning, I forget I have a condition. No side effects! When I was researching Bystolic I found bad reviews but after using it for 3 months now, I had to leave positive remarks. What a great medicine. "


"I was diagnosed at 18 but has had mild tics since I was about 5. They got much more intense as I got older and I was first put on a few other drugs but none really helped. I'm on 8mg of orap a day and it helps for the most part until I'm in public or a stressful situation but has generally helped. I started getting muscle spasms as a side effect but was put in benzotropine for them and they've gone away now. It makes me a bit drowsy and I had dry mouth for the first few weeks but with water and coffee I'm able to function fairly normally! My tics are still obvious but improving. Overall it's been helpful."


"I've used Mandelamine/Methenamine for 7 years and it works for me. I never get less than a year between infections but I am now 2 years and 9 months without an infection, after previously trying almost every medicine available with mixed results.  Sometimes I'd get a break-through infection after 2 months and other medicines would last 5 weeks, being taken every day.  I've had no bad effects, taking 1MG at bedtime, but do drink the glass of water with it. I get overnight discomfort if I don't."


"Have been using caverjet for six years now,at the begining it was great .injecting 20mg .however what the manufacture. Does,not tell you is each time you inject the needle causes scarring to the penis wall.after about five years I found it was taking longer to pee. I did not link the two together. However recently Visited a consultant and informed him of my condition.he then told me this can happen. So advise me to now take muse.not so effective as the injections."


"Was put on Abilify to control hypomania. I'm very, very sensitive to pretty much every medication. Initial I had a stomach ache that only lasted one night and some tiredness the first two days. However... After this I had severe hypomania and restlessness that just didn't go away. It wasn't akasteisia though. Unfortunately I can't reach the mood stabilizing effect - being at least 10 mg - since I can't go any higher than 1.25 mg without having side effects such as emotional numbness, numbness of my face, twitching, increased eye blinking - which of course scares me since there is a risk of Tardive Dyskinesia. It's definitely a very powerfull drug. BUT it really did help my depression and anxiety, just didn't help control my hypomania. LOL"


"Did well on the 1.2 dose but the 1.8 dose gave me significant side effects and they are just getting worse.  I had to have prescription medication for vomiting. Side effects include, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, sore throat,  tiredness,  diarrhea, dizziness. It has been almost a month at 1.8 and I feel horrible.  The side effects outweigh the benefits in my case. I will have to go back to the 1.2 dose and try to increase it by .1 every week."


"I agree fantastic awareness however downside I became obsessive, mood swings and suicidal feelings. Now I have been offered Ritalin. Hope this works without side effects."


"I was prescribed Effexor, moved to Cipralex, then to Imipramine and then to Cymbalta - doctor thought Generalized Anxiety Disorder.  I was 2 years on Cymbalta and feeling impulsive, agitated, anxious, stressed, etc. Went to Psychiatrist instead of GP, he did some tests and indicated ADHD thing going on (anxiety was a symptom).  Started Wellbutrin and what a difference. Clear concise thinking, lowered anxiety, not thinking at 100 mph and wow - impulsivity is controlled completely.  Psychistrist and GP were floored! Now 6 months and only getting better. Wasn't able to save marriage but whoever gets me next is going to be very happy. Seriously, the control of Adult ADHD for me was life changing. Only side effect is not so hungry (not a bad thing)."


"I switched from Ortho Tri-Cyclen to this and didn't notice a difference. I used to pay $40 a month for my medicine which is hard for a broke college student but now I only pay $8! So worth the switch! The only change in my body I've noticed was my breast getting larger by a whole cup size."


"I started taking 10mg .. and have been on it for 3 months.. Other than the being sick to my stomach..was the only side effect I had. I then started taking it at night so that I could sleep through it and it worked.. The crying and no motivation, isolating myself.. and just letting the world go by, fits of anger and yelling stopped..( my son was happy with that),,, Sadly I lost my insurance and cannot afford to pay the 300 plus a month for this medicine. And have been off it for 2 weeks now.. I am right back at square one.. With crying, and all that goes along with it... Some days I feel like I just want to give up."


"I have been on Aviane for three months and I can't stand it. I've had horrible mood swings and very emotional. My breasts have gotten bigger but I had extremely bad stomach aches from it and was miserable for the first month. Plus I've gained about 10 pounds from it."


"I've been in Zoloft for 2 months for depression, anxiety. The reason I don't give it top grades is because I don't have anything else to compare it to. Started 1 week on 25mg and then moved to 50mg the first two/three weeks the side effects were the same people describe, headache, tiredness, stomach issues, death thoughts,  lack of appetite, after that  the first sign was no more tears, less anxiety for eating my emotions went away, social anxiety too, fear & death gone too.  Calmness, ability to focus on the now, lower PMS, ability to focus & interact. Some days are still hard but takes less for me to cope with them.  I didn't know  life could feel this way. (Side effects Lower sex drive & return of big appetite and weight gain)"


"I'm on day three of this antibiotic. I've taken 6 other antibiotics for sinus infection, bronchitis and severe ear infections due to allergic reaction in Dec. I've not experienced too bad of sleep issues since the first night (I already struggle with sleep). Huge loss of appetite and need to increase water consumption. Just began experiencing a lot if drainage that chokes me when I cough.  Waiting for the medication to work on my ears because I can't hear at all!
Really worried about the muscle issues since I do work out a lot and need to for sanity but am taking time off while on this medication.
Hopeful after reading post that this will help clear out the infection!"


"MAGIC. I never leave home without at least two pills in my purse. I've suffered from migraines since I was 17 (23 now, not that long but long enough) and have been on almost everything. I've been basically turned away by two neurologists because they have nothing left to try with me. I refuse to take any kind of heavy narcotic unless I am forced to go to the ER and I was finally prescribed Fioricet and it worked like no other. Instead of having to drop everything I was doing when the migraine started to lay in a dark room I was able to take 1-2 pills depending on the severity and go on with my day like nothing had happened. It's absolutely amazing. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND"


"Catapres does help with physical withdrawal. I am weening myself down on Duragesic From 50mcg to 25mcg due to the medicines withdrawal from the market. (FDA investigation stopped production around Feb 2011 and Johnson & Johnson has no OK to produce still.). After allowing the Catapres to work for a week, I dropped to 25Mcg with little withdrawal symptoms compared to the unbearable effects without it. You must try it and remember that its not a miracle medicine but a crutch to help you through what could have been a temporary absolutely unbearable experience. Some feel fortunate, blessed, rescued and saved."


"I'm 32 and have had 1 vaginal birth and 1 miscarriage. The miscarriage was due to low progesterone so I wanted to make sure to not take hormonal birth control and also to not get pregnant until my hormone problems were fixed.  My placement didn't hurt b/c I went during my period, have had a vaginal birth, and took high dose Tylenol beforehand. Felt like a pap only a little more crampy. Get the strings trimmed short during the procedure so there's not a chance for scraping during sex.  Feeling no pain after placement. :)"


"I rate this a 5/10 because it's helped in the sense that I haven't gotten pregnant...but I've gained 10 pounds every month since taking it. I have weighed 150 since I was a sophomore in high school and I'm a sophomore in college and weigh 175. Just this past 4 months of being on it I've gained 25 pounds...."


"Have bad stomach aches and nausea with this, but also it way better than others that I took for diverticulitis.  Makes me jittery and have nervous stomach."


"I started taking a very small dose of Lexapro about 7 months ago for a sudden onset of quite severe anxiety/depression. My doctor put me on 5mg because I really didn't want to be on medication. I felt a little bit of nausea, but I couldn't tell if that was the medication or just a typical side effect of my anxiety. Even the 5mg made me feel better within 2 weeks. Then, we upped my dose to 10mg a month ago, and I feel great!!! This medication has really allowed me to get back to being myself again."


"I will have had this in for almost 3 years. My periods have been great (coming from someone who had heavy period and cramps that would make me sick to my stomach). On the down side I am only 5ft tall I have always been athletic and have an athletic build. I started gaining weight a year into have this birth control(never gained weight on the pill)I workout 4x a week and eat very strict. Nothing sees to work. I have gained over 15lbs in the these last couple years. I have also experienced a sort of hair loss. I have curly thick hair and It falls out in chucks all day long. I have procrastinated to take it out because I am in a relationship and it's just been easy to not worry about about a pill or condoms. Getting it taken out this month"


"So I will NEVER take dulcolax ever again!! I took the correct dose before bed and went sleep but around early hours that morning I ended up in the bathroom with agonising stomach cramps and diarrhoea. I felt awful and the pain was ridiculous! Would rather have constipation and suffer the pain of going when it happens than help it along with this stuff. Glad it's not just me who experienced this pain. I'm so nervous about taking laxatives now to the point where I'm bleeding when I go because I'm on tablets for my health problems that cause constipation however I'm too nervous to take laxatives with it."


"I got the Nexplanon implant on April 30, 2016 with no pain at all. The next week I begin to cry about everything, I was so sad. I never have problems with depression before the Nexplanon. I started blowing up about everything and my cycle hasn't stop. It's very light but still I want it to end. My Dr. wanted me to keep it for 4 months and I'm thinking about getting it removed. I'm 36 and this is my first time being on any type of birth control. And this experience has been awful."


"Only was able to take this for two days. Second day I felt just awful. Similar to Wellbutrin. I don't think my body can handle norepinephrine increase. I also got painful urination that lasted days after I took my last pill... ouch it hurt."


"Starting weight was 173 (5'5), combined Qsymia program with up to 1000 cal per day (no exercise) - recording with my fitness pal app definitely helps!! I lost 18 lbs altogether in 6 months where majority lost in first 3 ms, maintained during rest with pills on/off. One thing I did not like about the medicine (especially at the first couple of months) is the side effects; dry mouth, anxiety attacks (which I never experienced before) & insomnia but it subsided after awhile. Regarding pricing, some insurance companies will allow for pre-authorization if you get your doctor to reason with them it is necessary for you; this way   coupon you can pay as low as $35/ month supply.  not bad program overall.."


"Abilify is the only antipsychotic that works for me. The extreme hunger, lethargy, restlessness, and memory problems I had on other antipsychotics are nonexistent with abilify. I was in the middle of a severe depressive episode when I took it and it only took several weeks for me to be back to normal functioning. I sleep better, have more energy, and fewer mood swings. This medication is great. I find that it is more "activating" while other drugs in the same class like Zyprexa are more "tranquilizing.""


"I started to get extreme health anxiety and panic attacks out of the blue a little over a month ago. I've suffered from anxiety most of my life but always managed my life with it just fine until recently and it became debilitating. I started this medication a little over 3 weeks ago and I am starting to feel so much better. I am eating again, I no longer feel dizzy or lightheaded as much and I am starting to feel like myself again. I only take the lowest dose for now and take it at night and have had no side effects at all. This has been a huge help to me so far."


"This medication is the only one that works for me to relieve my migraines.  Although I am curious why I can only take it once a week. My migraines occur daily."


"Love it.  No side effects for me.  Arm was itchy for a while in the spot it was inserted and you can tell something is there but thats all."


"Works great to reduce fever. For pains caused by fever I recommend taking 400mg of Ibuprofen (Advil) with 1000mg of Acetaminophen (Tylenol.)  The two work well with each other and are safe to use together."


"The worst choice of medication to treat a cold. I had a cold return after 6/7 wks just to be given the this same medication again. My cough is worse and the headache from the pressure is a nightmare. Constant coughing at night. This is day 3 of the second go round with this cold and I'm not taking it anymore. It does nothing for the sinus drainage and it just makes the cough worse not better. Will not make another apt for a different antibiotic so over the counter here I come!!! This is a waste for a $200 visit."


"I've been on Paragard for 2 years and I have to say that it's great. At first it was tough because I have a low pain tolerance and insertion was hard for me. The cramping was extreme but I can honestly say that it was worth it. All I can say for women who are thinking about trying it is that the periods will be longer and a lot heavier than before. Also, The pain of the cramping will be a little more intense for 6 months afterwards. Stock up on Extra Strength Ibruphen and you'll be fine. The peace of mind is worth the cramping."


"I got the implant in January of 2015,  I spotted and had a light/medium period every day for about two and a half months which of course sucked but I thought it would stop once the implant "kicked in" and my body got used to it. I didn't have my period again until January 2016 they have been LONG, PAINFUL, and HEAVY. They last about 2-4 weeks and are irregular. Sometimes there is a couple months between periods but others only a week. I have become moody, and emotional. ALSO my arm is always PAINFUL and becoming NUMB and is covered in big blue veins. And I have cysts on my right ovary now that I have to get surgically removed. (not sure if that has to do with the implant) I haven't gotten pregnant. That is the only positive."


"First night on Ambien and as you can see I'm awake and it's the second time this night. Woke because of vivid dreams. Going to head back to bed in hopes that I will sleep through the night."


"I have had this BC since  2011. I am now 24 and going on 6 years. I am considering a 3rd implant. I will admit in the beginning both times was horrific. I was on my period on and off for roughly 3-4months. It was not heavy just frequent. When I first got the BC I did experience dryness and an infection from over using tampons because I was unsure of what was happening. 3 month long periods are no fun. Within a year my periods came regularly but last from 10-16 days every time. This is an undesirable side effect; but still no pregnancy.  I do not have to remember to take a medication daily, or weekly. I recommend trying for 1 year and being open to discuss with sexual partner. Their reaction does influence the effectiveness of this BC."


"I began Celexa after having a bad experience on Prozac. I did not see immediate results but I did see some improvement. The side effects were terrible! I had extremely vivid dreams that caused me to be very tired and hard to wake. I had decreased sex drive and lots of problems with memory loss. "


"I have only been taking Zoloft for 5 days. Have not been as anxious or worried the past couple of days. I do take it in the morning so I do not have trouble sleeping. I do find that if I am tired during the day and want to take a nap, I can't sleep. The only other side effects so far are constant stomach upset and occasional diarrhea.  Hopefully these will subside, if not may have to switch to a different medicine.  Hopefully there will be no weight gain, as that would not be good."


"I have been taking Junel for two years. I've never had acne and only gained a few pounds. My breasts got a size bigger as well. My period went from awful heavy and cramping for eight days at a time, to light and easy cramps for four days. It has also prevented pregnancy like it is supposed to. My obgyn even said this is the first birth control she goes to when reccomending a type to women. I love this birth control and would reccomend it to anyone."


"I started taking this pill about a year ago and I LOVE it. I originally went on it for sever acne and it completely cleared up. I read all this stuff about people gaining weight but I've maintained the same weight I've had for 3 years now. Also I haven't got pregnant which is the most important thing!"


"This bc is horrible. Going into my 3rd month and I havent stopped bleeding yet. So much for the no months."


"I started this medicine on March 24 2017. I had a baby 6 month ago and want to drop the extra weight I had gained. I was 223 when I started this medicine as of today March 28 I am down to 212 my goal is 180. I eat small meals breakfast would be a breakfast oatmeal cookie lunch grilled chicken salad and chicken again for dinner. Im 5"8 by the way."


"So I was one of the unfortunate ones who had severe pain, cramps, and bleeding for a month after insertion. It's possible and it seriously sucks, and I went to another gyno to make sure everything was okay; he said everything was literally perfect and if his training doctor could practice on me as well because everything was so great.

Other than the first full three months of constant bleeding and pain, my periods went away, and I have not had to worry about pregnancy in over a year. It's pretty important to check the strings (I usually do that in the shower every few weeks or so) to make sure it's working and in place. I tend to recommend this to any female who asks. It's well worth it, and reportedly more effective than a condom."


"I have had irritable bowel syndrome all my life and I'm 26 years old. I'm very healthy and work out daily. I've been to many doctors and I was told to add more fiber to my diet but never prescribed Linzess until now. Before now I would have a bowel movement maybe once every two weeks with bloating and pain. Now I have a bowel movement once a day. You do need to plan accordingly but if you do it works perfect! Love it!"


"Amazing. I have been suffering from excessive sweating under my armpits for almost 3 yrs now. My underarm was like a fountain, so embarrassing.  It would get worse driving without the A/C on and my arms would soak so bad. In the past I have tried numerous antiperspirants including some clinical ones that didn't work at all. When I finally got Drysol and tried it for the first time the following day I was so dry it was like a miracle. Honestly speaking Drysol has made a significant change in my life, no more embarrassing sweat marks and wetness."


"I have not been on it long enough. But it did control my diarrhea, not the pain. I was told because of my new diagnosis of Irritable Bowl Syndrome along with the Crohn's Disease, they are stopping the infusions to see if the pain is not a side effect from it. This is all I know about it so far. I hope this helps a little."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I learned from another patient to take Claritin a few days after the shot and keep taking it for 5 days. It really worked. The first time the pain was so bad, it felt like 3-4 days of labor pains. When I used the Claritin I only felt little twinges and a few cramps."


"I have been on a lot of birth control pills, but this is the worst birth control I've taken to date. I had to switch because I have an estrogen intolerance so I was getting severe migraines with regular pills. Although this pill has helped with that, I have found myself completely unable to orgasm when I have sex with my fiance (something that used to be easy), I have had terrible changes with my sleeping patterns, and I have overall felt like my body and mind are detached from each other. The benefits of not having migraines and overall lighter periods do NOT outweigh the negatives of this pill."


"My surgeons PA has me on a very low dose of hydro, (had back surgery less than 2 weeks ago), & after a week of still being in pain, he added Gabapentin 600mg 3x/day. I woke from surgery & the bottom of my right foot was no longer numb, below my knee to my ft the pain was near gone, (prior to surgery my ankle hurt so bad it felt broken 95% of time), & the pain in my thigh & hip was rapidly decreased daily.Yay my surgery was a success! So the only real pain I continued to have was from surgery itself (they shaved bone from L5 & removed bulge) After being on Gaba for about 1 wk, numbness is returning. I've experienced this before from another nerve med, so I KNOW it's the Gaba! I see him next week, but I'm reducing dose gradually to 0 by then.More side effects like other's too."


"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."


"My Medicare Advantage Company suggested I use this after they removed Spriva from their approved list on medications.  I used it for a week and my emphysema worsened considerably.  It worsened to the point that I couldn't walk 10 yards without stopping to get my breath.  I called my pulmonary doctor to see if I could get an exception made to go back on Spirva."


"I was prescribed Campral 11yrs ago and being the 'typical drinker' thought it was simply another gimmick to increase the 'failed alky' guilt complex attached to the usual remarks which accompany any lapse in our plight. I'd been given 3 weeks to live due to the amount of alcohol I was consuming (9 litres of 7.5% cider, up to 8 cans of 10% strong lager and up to a litre of whiskey per day. My gamma GT tests showed 1299, the average being between 17 & 53. I'd become jaundiced, had serious liver disease, my health was shot to bits and I was ready to die. In fact it would have been a blessed relief. If I drank much less than stated in a day, withdrawal, fits and pain beyond belief set in. Campral was new and helped save my life. PRESCRIBE IT MORE, NOW, PLEASE?"


"I started taking Loseasonique just about a year ago. Before this I took Yaz for about 6 years. My doc recommended Loseasonique so I agreed to try it. The first pack was not to bad. No spotting, but I was very nauseated. On the second pack I began spotting and this continued for weeks at a time. Soon after I began to notice my skin was breaking out. (I have never had acne before). During the third pack the break through bleeding continued, as did the acne (now spread to my back and chest), also I started having headaches on a daily basis. To the point where I could no longer function. I am now at the end of my fourth pack and have been spotting for the entire last month! Getting off soon."


"I've been using the patch for about 6 months now because it's more  convenient, my periods are regulated which is good but the bad part is I have terrible mood swings with the patch espically the first couple days of a new one, I took a month break from it just to see if it still happened but I was fine and as soon as I started using the patch again back to my grumpy, moody self. I also experience swollen tender breasts which is absolutely not fun."


"My 11 yr old had 102 temp for 2 days,  achy all over.  Day 3 104. Went to clinic. Negative for flu and strep and white count normal. Advised to push fluids and treat fever. Day 4 temp 105. Went back to clinic.  Urinary Analysis  shows raging UTI and now she's really dehydrated. Had 2 options, shot of rocephin, push fluids and start oral antibiotics but if not better by morning she'd be admitted to hospital.  Or just admit her right then.  We went with the shot. Within an hour I saw vast improvements. Fever has not been above 100.5, pain is better, drinking better and even managed to eat a little bit and work on 4 days of homework! Would definitely recommend rocephin!"


"This pill definitely works. My initial cycle started 7 days after I took the pill. I ended up having two periods Last month because of the pill. I received my next period about 6 weeks after I took the pill. I had no side effects at all! However, it changed my period completely. My flow isn't heavy as it used to and it still has this dry blood appearance (dark red instead of the normal color of blood). Its also more fluidy or watery than the usual blood. All in all, my worry is that my body did not take this pill as well as others."


"One of the most legitimately helpful drugs I have ever taken. Doesn't lose potency, nonaddictive, almost guaranteed to put you to sleep. I've been on it for years and it has helped give me a more restful and relaxing sleep than any other drug. Just avoid going too high-- for me, past 300mg it would clog my sinuses pretty bad for some reason, making it impossible to sleep. Luckily, 200mg works just as well."


"I was given an injection of Toradol for a severe headache in the ER. I was told I had to have the injection in the posterior as it would be sore the next day. All I can say was it was like having a shot of liquid pain.  Was given a prescription for the tablets and they haven't done anything."


"Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy: My son is 8 years old and has started taking Intuniv for his behavior, concentration and mood swings. He does have CP. He has never been diagnosed with ADHD so that concerned me when the neurologist wanted to put him on Intuniv. He's taking 1mg at night and I have to tell you he is a new boy! He's cooperative, sleeping well and he is doing better in class."


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


"This is one of a handful of meds that I have been prescribed over my 35 year battle with panic and I have to say that this drug had no effect at all, good or bad.   My panic just continued.  Today I am on 100mg of Elavil and it is working quite well.  Best of all, Elavil has the added bonus of curbing my neuropathy which had forced me to be on fentanyl for over 4 years."


"I have been having Urinary tract Infections for a while and have had them more than once. I have been given different kinds of medications to treat the infection-- even ones that made my urine turn orange and stained my underwear. I have to honestly say that the Septra DS is the best I have ever taken (I asked for the generic brand from my doctor). I know its huge-like horse pills, but after the first dose I felt relieved. The first thing I noticed was that I didn't have to urinate that often and the pain associated with urinating subsided. I never had any side effects with this medication."


" I Ve had  nothing but problems with the Keppera : constant shaking in my arms & legs & pins & needles feeling in my arms & legs severe light headedness no appetite & etc."


"I was prescribed it along with a few creams for acne, I stayed on it for 2 years with no success. I realized when I stopped taking it the acne went away on it's own, I've had a fairly clear face (except for scarring) for the last 2 years now. Also, watch out for how long your in the sun with it, my doctor didn't tell me about it but prolonged exposure to sunlight can mess with your hair. It thinned mine out a lot, but I've heard this also could be done from a hormone imbalance from the medication and the fact that you still go through hormone imbalances and all that until your 21. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it, just exercise a little more and eat a little less dairy and it'll clear up better than any meds will."


"This medicine completely got rid of all of my nightmares the first night I took it. It has been a few months now and I've only gone up one more mg so it is still working great. For me though, the great benefit was that it got rid of all of my dreams not just nightmares and for me that was a big relief."


"I am 39, no kids. I have found Skyla to be worth it. Like all BCs, initially you xp  the hormonal flux with acne & side effects. After 3 mos it regulates. I like OB/GYNs, my pref due to abnormal situations. I am highly sensitive to meds. Process: (Clamp, measure, insertion, ultra sound). My docs explanation & I do agree: Sklya for those with no children. Merina - had children. Paraguard - older women going thru the change. My xp: Take a Motrin night before & morning of. 1st day, med pain/lightheaded at insertion, then take a Motrin & lay down. 2nd day - less cramping. 3rd day- normal. Look at this way, you hit your knee on a table. The bruise hurts for about 2-3 days, then your fine. Same xp."


"Words can not describe it.  The medication has turned my life around.  I still can not believe what it has done for me.  My mind has slowed down so much without taking away my ability to think sharply.  I am truly happy.  Anger, irritation, racing thoughts are almost completely gone.  I am Bi Polar 1 with GAD and depression.  I too am a mixed episode/rapid cycle guy.  This med has givin me my life back.  I have been shedding anxiety and sleep meds left and right.  If you can't afford it, please look to Canada.  You can get generic Saphris (asenapine) very, very reasonable.  It could well be worth going through a reputable Canadian pharmacy."


"My Dr was unbelievably careless and combined this with another dangerous drug. I nearly died as the result and have contemplated dying well over 100,000 times since.  Any positive review of this drug should be highly skeptical of. This is a very dangerous drug that the manufacturers should stop making it, the sooner the better!"


"When I was in the service I had a few bouts with sleep problems only 3 times in 8 years. I was put on Ambien for 2 weeks at a time.  Eventually it would wear off I'd go back to "dealing with it"  Then for a few years I self medicated with whiskey.  No big dramatic story but that had to stop.  When I got out I didn't even try to claim compensation for it with the VA but they gave me a insomnia comp.  Since then I receive my pills in the mail.  I have never had a negative side effect.  No sleep walking, talking, driving. It works better on an empty stomach though.  I've woken up at night on it before but I normally fall right back to sleep.  I wake up feeling like I got that perfect amount of sleep and so refreshed.  It has given me my life back."


"I've used the 3 day monistat before and it made my YI worse. My gynecologist told me that unless it's very severe, the 3 day and I assume 1 day have too much medication which can irritate your skin. The 7 day works great for me"


"When I run out of these patches the pain hits me really quick so I try to remember and call my doctor so that I don't run out again."


"I started taking Chantix in August after filling the prescription in late June.  I had read so many reviews on mood, behavior, emotional changes I was so afraid to take it.  I had to make a decision and finally started the first week of August.  The first 2 days I had severe nausea and confusion.  I called my doctor they advised to take right after a meal.  I did that the next day and had no nausea or confusion.  I'm so glad I did not give up on this medicine.  To be honest I have had a few cigarettes here and there.  I guess after smoking since I was 16 (now 42) it's a hard habit to break.  I don't even enjoy smoking at all.  I take a couple puffs and the taste is so disgusting in my mouth I put the cigarette out.  I'm done smoking . Go for it."


"I switched to this birth control after being on Larin Fe, which made me feel completely crazy. I have been on this pill for 6 months and I did really like it. I used to have extremely heavy periods with horrendous cramps and since going on this my periods are much lighter, shorter & typically no cramps at all. The only negative is that I have breast tenderness pretty much the entire month. It only ever stops during placebo week. Lately though I have felt extremely anxious & I hope this pill won't turn out like Larin Fe where I felt so crazy and anxious 24/7!! I haven't gotten pregnant on it either so that is a major plus."


"In the period of my childhood ,there was diffrent conditions that i can't explan like night Mayer. Social anexity mood disorder .helpless .complete off of life charming ,etc. I am using this medicen from 5years .all things changed and feeling happy ."


"I was only able to take this medication for about a week, due to a severe allergic reaction I developed. I had horrible, blotchy red hives all over my body, and right after taking them the last day, I also had trouble breathing. Even before I developed the rash, however, I knew something was off. I had terrible insomnia; hardly slept the whole week, not to mention, I felt like I was numb, as if I had thrown a veil over my emotions. It was a little unsettling. I wasn't anxious in the least, but I wasn't particularly happy either. I didn't feel anything. My house could have burned down, and I wouldn't have cared."


"I was prescribed clonazepam, 2mg, 3 times a day for 6 years. I was dropped because my doctor moved out of state. It is The only one that has ever helped to calm my anxiety. I need a new doctor that understands."


"Sweating that I could not stand clothes on. No sleep. Hallucinations B/P way over 250/ 135  crazy was hospitalized and test run doctors are stumped , I read on the drug but was not enough information as this has given me. not taking it tomorrow. and seeing my Cardiologist on Thurs. They did not prescribe it my GP did ,as I had lost my beloved husband of 57 /1/2 years and my children all are out of town,and have all new and busy neighbors, was put on Lexapro a couple of weeks before my husband passed away and had no problems."


"I wanted to share my experience with Sprintec because of all of the bad reviews I saw on it before I started using it. I have only been on this pill for one month, but I have not had any negative side effects. I had my period right on time, and it was very light. It also drastically decreased my cramps, and PMS. It did not cause me to have a bad breakout (and I am prone to acne), and it did not affect my diabetes. If I have problems later on with this pill I will come back and write about it. However, for now I am very happy with my results, and would recommend giving it a try."


"During the winter I have a lot of trouble breathing because of the dry heaters. Blowing my nose is often not an option. Claritin D clears up the passages and allows me to breathe freely. I feel more alert and experience no side effects. I use the 12-hour pills no more than once a day."


"This drug did nothing to help me sleep. I tried 10 mg to start and felt no difference. 15 mg also gave me no results but a shaky feeling in the morning. I tried 20 mg which also just made me feel shaky the next day. I had no change in sleep patterns and continued to wake up after 2hrs and every hour after. I did the ten day free trial."


"Taking this for a skin infection. The infection started to clear up on day 2 but the pills gave me horrible heartburn and nausea. It's better if I eat and then take the medication at the same time."


"Since my first Gall Stone attack over a year ago, I have unexplainable diarrhea. I would eat something and within about 15 minutes I would have to use the bathroom in a very urgent way. My doctor could not explain the reason for this. At the same time he was trying to treat me for constant numbness and pain in my leg. He gave me Gabapentin for my leg to see if it would help. Funny enough the leg is the same but the diarrhea rarely happens now. I'm glad this could help that issue at least."


"It worked for the first hour, maybe, then I sweated right through it. Not sure if I have a stronger case or this just didn't work. It also gave me terrible irritation in the applied area for a few hours after taking it off."


"So I was on trinessa for about 2 to 5 years. I loved it for the first few years. My cramping  intensity went down to where I could go out and function without any problems. My period was very regulated to where I can predict the exact day and almost the time. It didn't help with my acne at all. After about 3 years I'm starting to have cramping again to where I have to stay in in the bed. And my regulation is off. So it's really good while it lasts."


"I am 5 ft 9 starting weight 263. I was originally taking phentermine and topamax for weight loss. I did loose on that but those side effects are worse. It made by blood pressure and heart rate sore! My sister-in-law started taking Contrave, with good results. At first, I was nervous about taking this medication because of a bunch of scary reviews. I did read enough positive I gave it a try. So glad I did. I did have the headache,  it was pretty bad, almost made me stop. I took something for the headache and it helped. That did take about 2 weeks to get through. I do not have any other bad side effects. Not even dry mouth. I will admit, it wasn't doing much for my weight till I started taking 2 in morning and 1 in afternoon. Weight 242 now."
