Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"The first two days, I felt alright. I drank a lot of water with my doses. (About 16oz) On day three, I panicked because my urine was really dark and wasted a bunch of time in the ER to find nothing wrong with me but needing to drink a little more water that day.
From day 4 till the very end, I felt exhausted and queasy in the  mornings took forever to get motivated to do anything. Luckily, I'm on summer break!
I read a lot on here that people took probiotics, but my pharmacist said that Calcium would interfere with absorption so I didn't. I eliminated all dairy to make sure there were no interferences. My last dose was yesterday morning and I have gas building up now- I'm guessing its from reintroducing the dairy into my diet?"


"I started a diet exactly 32 days ago. I went completely cold turkey, no soda, no sugar, sweets, or fast food. I worked out on my WII every night for the first week and got bored. Then I got a gym membership and I work out 1-1.5 hours every night. I ate almost every 2-3 hours fruits and veggies. I lost 15.4 pounds the first month on my own. I had a follow up with my doctor and asked him about Adipex. He seemed pleased with my question and wrote me a prescription for 30 days. I have now been on the pill for 3 days only, I went from eating 5-6 times a day and drinking 4-5 bottles of water and my 1-1.5 hour workout to now drinking 6-8 bottles a day. Already lost 4 lbs!"


"I have 9 herniated discs (4 in my neck and 5 in lower back). Took Vicodin 10/660 for 2 years then Norco 10/325 for 1 year. 6 to 8 a day finally got the Ms Contin with my Norco and life is way better - can play with my daughter now."


"They gave me fentanyl nasally before my back surgery and all the stiffness and tingling was all gone in about 30-60 seconds. Very strong medicine."


"I took Macrobid 100mg about half hour ago and I'm feeling fine, no side effect yet. Hopefully not at all.
"


"I took Arimidex for 5 years and only recently stopped. I had quite a few side effects, however, the joint pain and stiffness was the hardest. I heard about something called Ubiquinol, which is apparently something that is naturally produced in your body, but slows down quite a bit as you age. I've been taking it daily now for a few months and I have to say, the stiffness and joint pain has mostly subsided. I say mostly because I forget to take it some days. I'm trying to get better about taking it daily with a multivitamin. It's kind of expensive but it's way cheaper and better than any of the medicine alternatives I was offered by my doctors. I don't like taking medicine for every little thing. Plus there's a hundred side effects to worry about."


"Migraines 1/2 month & regular headaches from 16 until 40, after car accident 10 months ago getting terrible migraines 2-3 a week & headache around the clock, having trouble working & doing anything productive, addicted to pain medication.  After everything physical came back clear, prescribed amitryptiline 25mg which got rid of migraine/headaches but left me foggy/dizzy and with very dry mouth. Went back to 10mg, has gotten rid of the side effects, in the 7 or so months I've been taking it have had 1 migraine and hand full of headaches that have been eased by asprin or ibuprofen. Has given me a new lease on life, risk of weight gain has been reversed by having energy to exercise and have actually lost 20 lbs & put on bulk"


"Really effective albeit sedating.  I have Menieres with horrible vertigo, and have tried several meds, including Ativan and Lamictal, but Antivert seems most effective verses costs and side effects. Definite "hangover" of grogginess from the Antivert, but I can muddle through if I don't take it too late at night."


"So I'm on my second pack of this bc & I love it. The first week or so I was nauseous & did throw up, it felt like motion sickness but it only happened twice. No weight gain & have a ton of energy. Only reason I'm taking bc is for hormonal acne & let me tell you this stuff works!! I was on previfim before & nothing.. only made me break out worse. Only thing is on previfem I had NO period it was like spotting & on this bc its a bit heaver but nothing like my regular flow."


"On Sutent  for 9 months and was extremely fatigued but minimally nauseous.  Doctor guesstimate  is an additional 9 months.  Original diagnosis was clear cell cancer and removed right kidney.  Annual exam revealed it metastisized to left adrenal gland.  Pet scan reveals some tumors have disappeared and remaining ones are shrinking.  No new tumors seem to have appeared. My quality of life has not seemed to have decreased and I feel blessed everyday that Sutent therapy is working for me."


"I've been On it for about almost two months. My period was 7 days and it was very light and I didn't have bad cramps. Bad part is, my period was gone bout a week and I started bleeding again and I'm still bleeding over a week now !!! No sex life!!!"


"I've been taking Apri for over 6 months. I love it, I got like my period down to an exact date each month. They're really light and manageable unlike before where it was very heavy and unpredictable. My sex drive I feel is higher but I do get more discharge and my breasts got bigger so 10 for this pill and good price too!"


"Like most of the reasons for sharing this post is so that most of you girls can relax. I took the pill after 48 hours of unprotected sex. Me and my boyfriend did the pull out method and he was sure he did not come in me however I was still worried about precum. Six days after being stressed out later and my period has just arrived. My only side effects was lower abdominal mild cramping. This is the second time plan b has worked for me so please try not to worry, take it ASAP and try to stay protected."


"I have been suffering from pmdd for years. It has had a tremendous impact on my relationships. Every month around that time I just wanted to leave my marriage. I was irritable beyond understanding and felt like punching something if I got angry. I would cry at the drop of a hat. I just wanted to be alone. I tried exercise, diet and natural remedies but it was never enough. I felt like I had a ball of metal in my stomach. I would scream and yell and get upset if you looked at me the wrong way. It was horrible. On zoloft I feel calm and stable. I have had no side effects. It has been a saving grace. My kids and husband are amazed. Thumbs up for zoloft. It saved me."


"I was having terrible pain with sciatica.  At times I was in so much pain just walking in a shopping centre I just had to stop.   Also driving the car my leg was in so much pain I had to lift it up with my hand to ease the pain.  No medication I had taken stopped the pain which was unbearable and I couldn't sleep at night, My Doctor prescribed Lyrica and at first I did not like it because it made my feet puffy however I went back on it with the prescribed dose of 150mg twice a day.  Now I have to try to recall the pain because I have no sciatic pain at all with this drug.   It also had the side effect of making me a bit "dreamy" which I rather like but I do forget names and things I am saying which I do not like.  Can't have it all though!"


"First of all, the other commenters are right on; it HURT. I took 800mg Ibruprofen an hour before and it still really hurt, like the most painful cramp ever. The bright side was that it only lasted about 40 seconds total and then the cramps calmed down. I was pretty okay a few minutes after, however, I didn't leave the doctors office until a half hour later. I almost passed out while walking through the waiting room, they noticed me & rushed 3 nurses out to me with a cold rag, juice, and a wheelchair. I guess I was sweating and turned blue, my body was like what is this thing!? 8 Days later and I still have moderate cramps, hoping they subside soon. A few days I've had no cramps at all, and other days I'm woken up at 3am! Hope it's worth it!"


"I use venlafaxine for major depression and to help with migraines. When on it my headaches have decreased."


"Ever since the 5th week of my pregnancy, my morning sickness was terrible I lost weight and couldn't keep a thing down. I could hardly get out of bed. My doctor prescribed Zofran and it's been a huge help. Doesn't always take away the nausea feeling But no more vomiting! Definitely recommend it"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I used Suprep. Yes the taste was slightly unpleasant, salty.  Previously I used Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (aka Peg-3350) that required drinking one gallon of liquid over a short period of time.  Suprep wins hands down."


"I had my 1st child in November 2014 and got Mirena January  2015. I spotted for the 1st month and a half. I've had cramping, no sex drive, lack if energy, acne, hair itching, and gained 20 pounds in 4 months. I finally got Mirena removed today 6/17/2015 and I already feel better. No cramps I've been able to work from 5 am to 130 go to the gym, go shopping, and play with my baby without fatigue. The RN was giving me a hard time and stating my research is wrong and Mirena doesn't make women gain weight due to such low hormones but I told her everyone's body is different, and this was not the right birth control for me. I told her even all my coworkers that have it right now are experiencing the same issues so what does that tell you? She acted like she had an attitude because she couldn't talk me out of removing it, but I don't care it's my body my choice. I hope that this helps someone. If this is what it costs to not have a period I'd rather have mines!"


"I started on the patches for fibromyalgia, spondylosis, and degenerative disk disease. I had the patches for several months and the adhesive left welts on my skin. I switched to the sublingual tabs and the price difference was significant $60 for patch and $15 for sublingual both 30 day doses. With both my pain is a 4/10. I am satisfied with this product. I still have hydrocodone for breakthrough pain."


"I took Elavil 100 mg for migraine and sleep back in 90's wow solved my problems. Quit taking, and now I'm on 200 mg sleep and neuropathy from diabetes, sleep and stress. I take other medicines. I'm not healed just no more pain. Sometimes fall asleep and times just breeze through the day. Elavil helps for many medical problems. Don't like the new medicines. The old medicines work best for me."


"high blood pressure runs in my family and i've had it since i was very young. we never realized it and i could've had a heart attack if it weren't for this drug. after a while my body got used to 10 mg so it was increased to 15, either way it works like a charm. i have so much more energy and migraines are at a minimum."


"Makes me extremely sleepy and light headed. Made  my neck feel so loose I could hardly hold my head up. Don't like how this makes me feel."


"I have been taking Yaz for a month now. I have been on so many birth controls in the past and they all made me crazy. I feel normal on Yaz. The only downfall is I do have a hard time getting up in the morning. Extremely tired. There is no spotting though, no bloating, no headaches and I think I lost weight which is a plus."


"I have been on this birth control for about 8 months. My hormones went crazy and my boyfriend agrees. It has helped prevent pregnancy, but gave me some spotting close to my periods if I maybe did not take it right on time. I like this birth control but I may try a different one. I used to be such a laid back person before this, but now I can be very moody. I did not gain any weight except for a small increase in cup size."


"I took both simvastatin (got a rash/hives) and Lipitor (even worse rash/hives) which I'm still plagued by even though I went off Lipitor more than a month ago. The rash comes and goes; some days unbearable and others barely noticeable. My urine also developed a foul and toxic odor along with changes in urinary habits/timing.
I think these statins ought to be banned."


"I have struggled with many strong meds to help with the pain. All of them would have to keep increasing to work.
Tramadol has given me my life back. I have been taking it for 2 years, and it worked immediately."


"Was treated with antidepressants and anti-psychotics for almost a year since the doctor's opinion was  that my symptoms of weight gain, lack of energy, depression and dizziness were due to psychosis. Only after a year I was given a blood test and told that I have autoimmune disease. No longer take any antidepressants or anti-psychotics, only take 12.5 mcg in the morning. Can now sleep 8 instead of 14 hours a day, feel awake during the day, have energy and willingness to do things. Definitely helped with depression and anxiety. If only the blood test was performed earlier!"


"I have been seeing my dermatologist for 3 years and I have tried every common antibiotic and topical cream to no avail. I have been on spironolactone (in conjunction with Benzaclin gel, Cetaphil wash twice a day and tetracycline, which I have been on for a year and a half) for the past month and it has been a God-send. I recently turned 20 and my acne had never been worse.  It changed from pustules to cystic nodules that would take weeks to fight back and hours spent crying in front of the mirror.  I would refuse to leave the house and my boyfriend and mother became increasingly concerned.  Since beginning this medicine my skin has cleared and I couldn't be happier! I would definitely recommend this medicine."


"Augmentin is getting rid of my sinus infection BUT the severe diarrhea side effect is going to have to make me quit. I have lost 3 pounds so far, have no energy and can't keep anything in my body. I'm a runner so this is totally NOT acceptable."


"I began taking elavil for migraines in the summer of 2007. I have had maybe 1 or 2 migraines in a year and a halfs time. Before I had them 3 to 4 days a week. I take 50mg of elavil at bedtime. It has worked wonders and it is a lot cheaper than taking migraine medicine. My only troublesome side effect is that it has greatly increased my appetite."


"I have always had an active sex life; at about age 59, sex became very painful.  Put up with it for several years until I discovered Osphena.  It has made life so much better.  There is still some discomfort, but that is a minimal price to pay to be intimate with my husband of 45 years.
I would highly recommend this drug. :)"


"On saxenda now for 3 weeks. Down 23 lbs
Side effects are gone. Still on 1.2 dose doc doesn't want me to up dose because he said I am losing too fast. Not hungry at all actually have to force myself to eat. Walking 3x a week."


"I took the shot once and from the week I took it until the week it ended it was literally impossible to have sex, it hurt everywhere. Inside and at the opening. We tried to have sex maybe 4 times, just for a few seconds until I couldn't take it anymore. Husband went crazy! The GYNO said that I didn't fit the profiles for anything like endometriosis or vulva-something, nothing. I was a medical mystery with no reason to be having so much pain. There weren't other symptoms or side effects for anything, the doctors were all just like "I don't know -  good luck".
And I bled for 80 out of 90 days. Profusely.
As far as protecting against pregnancy, I don't know, because I had sex a total of 48 seconds in 3 months."


"This drug works. If I am late with a dose or miss a dose I feel it. I can't go through the day without it."


"WONDERDRUG!! Every drug has side effects people! The side effects from this one wore off for me after about 2 months..you gotta stick through it to get used to it, once you do it's totally worth it.  I went from having almost daily headaches and weekly severe migraines to maybe 1 migraine every couple of months that even then it was very minimal. Totally worth trying!"


"Great stuff. Much better than taking prednisone."


"I work at an OB/GYN office and take care of all the Makena referrals!!! This company is so SLOW!! the FDA really screwed up when they took Compounded 17OHP off the market!!!!  Its takes at least 6 weeks from start to finish to complete this process.  Multiple phone calls to Makena, Specialty Pharm, Patient's insurance, and the patient take place during this time along with MULTIPLE faxes and notes in the chart.  It's to the point where our office needs to hire someone to just do this all day.  Makena  needs to be given started at 16 weeks, but it is well after 22 weeks before our patients are getting injections, by this time most of our patients have already delivered their previous babies...which was not a good outcome."


"Yes, I achieved good erections after about 40 to 50 minutes and yes, I could repeat the experience a week or two later, however, the side effects drove me away from it.
Side effects: (An annoyance, blue tinted vision, lasting about 2 hours.) First; Migraine like headaches.  No conventional medicines would relieve the pain, sensitivity to light, nausea and lethargy.
And, the most disturbing, difficulty swallowing for about 3-4 hours!!

I ended up switching to 'Levitra'.  Only a mild headache and some other minor effects for 2-3 hours.  Not quite as good of an erection though (80% to 90% as good)."


"Helped but only for about an hour or so, symptoms soon returned. I was on maximum dose, with some relief, but switched to something better"


"I noticed that my hands and feet were swollen I realized that it felt like a reaction that I have when I touch or eat shrimp or eat pork. The only thing that I knew that was different in my diet was the Move Free. I had been taking the Move Free for three days. I looked up the ingredients and saw that it was made with shellfish as well as an ingredient made from pork."


"This is the first medication I have taken in years that has actually worked in lessening my depressive episodes along with decreasing my anxiety. I have had no significant weight changes (which is important as I am also in recovery from Anorexia Nervosa). For the first time in so long I finally feel better! I am so grateful my Physician Assistant had me switch!

Previous medicine: Zoloft, Cymbalta, Lexapro, Lamictal, Seroquel, Risperdal, Vistaril, Effexor.

Current: Pristiq, Dexedrine, Klonopin when required."


"I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome at the age of fifteen; I've suffered with this for five years taking laxatives, fleet enemas, suppositions. I was recently put on Linzess to help with the pain and discomfort of it all. I have followed the directions and waited thirty minutes before eating. Linzess does work for me; however, it does cause me slight abdominal pain and diarrhea. I talked to my doctor about these side effects and he said, " They will subside within two weeks." He was right, this medication has been a total life changer for me."


"I have been treated with CNS stimulants (methylphenidates and amphetamines) and Adderall has unequivocally been the most beneficial medication for ADHD. I have been on this medicine, 30 mg twice daily, for about 4 years and all of the major symptoms of ADHD are under control which in turn has allowed me to take back control of my life.

I would like to add that, for me, it has had a profound positive effect on comorbid Major Depressive Disorder, recurrent (moderate-severe). Tried virtually every antidepressant and various combinations/augmentations since age 22 (except for MAOIs) with little improvement. Now taking Pristiq 50 mg in the morning and a low-dose of mirtazapine (generic for Remeron) at bedtime. No relapse/recurrence in over a year!"


"Helps me a lot when the hayfever starts."


"I started on adipex Friday March 24,2017. 18 years old , weighed 285lb , 5'6. Today Monday March 27 I am weighing 277lb. It took me a few times to go back and see if that was a true number. Tried 3 different scales and it was true "


"Alleviated depression quickly.
Best antidepressant I have ever taken (Paxil, Wellbutrin, Prozac and Effexor).
Effexor was agreeable to me but extremely strong withdrawal (even when slowly decreasing dosage)."

"At 45, I began a two-year battle of hot flashes and excessive uterine bleeding.  My gynecologist prescribed various HRT with little to no relief.  At 47, I had a total hysterectomy.  The morning after my surgery, I put on my first Vivelle Dot patch (0.1 strength). For three years,  I have had wonderful results with Vivelle Dot from the beginning, no skin sensitivity, great sleep, very little hot flashes."


"I was prescribed this medication because I'm allergic to some of the more common pain killers. I took it a total of 2 weeks, daily as prescribed.  I had horrible hallucinations  became severely depressed, had insomnia and I felt like every ounce of joy was sucked out of my body. I had the strangest experiences with this medication. I felt like I left my body. Once,  I saw myself jumping off the balcony. I was clearly hallucinating. It was the worst experience from a medication I've ever had.  I was extremely distraught but, had no idea why. My husband freaked out and rushed me to the doctor. I was told that it was side effects of the medication. I had to be weaned off of it by a dr. Even under the Dr's care, I had horrible withdrawal sympto"


"I love it! No kids! I got mine inserted September 2010 the day after I finished my period. I did gain weight but that was from not taking care of myself. I have not had my period since it was inserted, there was few spotting but it was not full blown. I know a lot of people have issues with their period during Implanon but not me. I'm breezing right by. I am worry free, no kids, no period. I been recommending it to all my girlfriends. My sister is even going to insert hers this coming month."


"While this is the first medication I've been on it has made an exceptional positive impact on my life. The side effects are first for me a really unpleasant but they're totally worth working through because they did go away and it made everything in my life easier. My depression and anxiety are much better, sleeping better, eating better, motivation to get on with my life."


"Can't breathe over a year. My allergies got real bad. I was so over it,  I could not think or do anything. I could only breathe 50% of my lungs  I tried everything. No sleep. I take assured allergy relief which contains antihistamine cetirizine HCI ,10mg  1 a day { sold at dollar tree} and goldenseal 800 mg every 6 hr.  WOW I CAN BREATHE  AND SLEEP!!!!!!"


"I have been off and on BuSpar for a little over a year now for severe uncontrollable anxiety but I have to take a high dose for it to work. I just take it as needed. I take 40mg at night. That's when my anxiety seems to bother me the most. If my anxiety is bothering me really bad and I don't take it then I am always up all night long and sometimes 2 days straight. Overall I would recommend this medicine!"


"I had my period for 3 months straight after getting the Implanon. But now after 8 months I have NOT gained weight or gotten a period. And I have not gotten pregnant. It has made me more sleepy though which is ok."


"Well I was on Topamax for approximately 6mos.  My doctor hoped that he would be able to get me to the medicinal dosage of about 25mg twice daily.  However I could not stand the way the medicine made me fall asleep.  If I took it at 8pm, I passed out by 8:15. I can say that I was getting the BEST sleep of my life. I was afraid to take it in the morning before/during or after work, so I only took it once I got home. I only got to the 5mg dosage before I stopped taking it."


"I was on accutane for six months and I couldn't believe how clear my skin got just in two weeks. I never had the begining breakout. Over the months almost all of my acne was gone. I used to have over a hundred bumps on my forehead and big puffy ones on my cheeks. I am now done the treatment and still have blackheads and scars on my cheeks and I'm disappointed they didn't go away because it was such an expensive hassle to go each month for appointments and blood work and making sure you pick it up in the time frame. The side effects were severe chapped lips, nose bleeds, and depression. That was the worst but I went through it and it all goes away."


"After a major car accident two years ago, subsequent shoulder reconstruction surgeries and months of physical therapy, I am left with painful nerve damage in my shoulder. I tried many medicines intended for other uses but found to alleviate pain from nerve damage. But, they all made me ill. I also took hydrocodone until it started making me ill. A month ago, my doctor switched me to hydromorphone 2 mg, and it helped a little. When he upped my dosage to 4 mg every 4-6 hours, the relief was much greater and I've had no major side effects. It's not a medicine that I want to take for the rest of my life, but it is certainly helping now. I would say it relieves about 75% of the pain. I would recommend trying it if other medicines have failed you."


"So I have anxiety all of the time. But it's not the textbook rocking and shaking anxiety...it's the negative and obsessive thoughts-that something horrible will come if every situation.
I have an as needed Rx for lorazepam and honestly I don't know if I like it. I feel like it makes me groggy enough but never takes the anxiety away. It almost feels like I hover over it but it's still underlying."


"My constipation began when I came down with Sjogrens. I have been on linzess for the past year. I have tried all 3 strengths. I tolerate the 72 mcg the best. Linzess is an unpredictable drug for me. Sometimes the drug begins to work within 1 hour of taking and I have a normal bowel movement. Other days it can take up to 6 hours and I have terrible bloating and diarrhea for hours. I do notice when my Sjogrens is flared up the medication side effects are worse."


"The doctor put me on Lamisil back March, I had to see another doctor about a different problem, he looked at my feet and told me to stop taking Lamisil (a big mistake), he felt that the medication had cleared up my foot problem. He put me on a cream foot infection that did not work to improve the infection, when He realized that the cream wasn't working. The doctor told me to see an dermatologist which I did, and he did not help, more creams that did not stop the infection. So now, I'm back on Lamisil, my first time on it was one month, and the foot infection was worse back in March, I do hope that it will clear up the foot infection completely this time. Also, I'm seeing a PA , not a MD."


"Nuvigil worked the first day and did nothing thereafter. I was using it to alleviate the sleepiness and lethargy from Zoloft."


"I experienced loud, shouting nightmares almost every night before I started Prazosin, which COMPLETELY stopped ALL my nightmares IMMEDIATELY. It worked immediately, the very first night, and every night thereafter. On the very rare occaisons when I have experienced another nightmare after I started taking, these were ALWAYS nights when I forgot to take the Prazosin."


"Yaz has been a really good birth control for me. It improves my mood and makes my periods very light with hardly any cramping. And I heard it helps you lose weight also. I would recommend this to anyone wanting an overall good birth control."


"Love. It has literally changed my life. It took until week three to really feel that control over food but it has been over 2 months now. I have no desire for anything really. I have complete control over what I eat. I used to plan what I was going to eat and when. I would eat 3-4 pieces of pizza. I still will eat a slice, maybe two, but it depends on whether or not I have eaten healthy the rest of the day. I am down 23 pounds in 9 weeks, and I went on an 11 day vacation and didn't feel effects until week 3.  Downside is constipation. Miralax and prune juice is a staple now. For me it is hope and control in a bottle."


"Having an issue with frequent Relapses every few years and the Grey Matter/Atrophy of my Brain being the Main Topic Aubagio was recommended by my MS Neuro ..

I prepared for the Minor Issues however had developed Bladder Issues and was getting horrible Headaches halfway through my 3rd month .. Had to stop use and see my Neuro ..

Will find out results soon but will suggest that going into this one must have an Open Mind and be very aware of their MS .. Know mine was helpful in my determining I was having a "Flare" .. Along with the additional Issues ..

The Nurse Program that is there to "Support" us is NOT HELPFUL at all .. They cannot answer any questions .. They however REFER you to the "Clinicians" who again do not Answer questions ..."


"This is month 3 and the headaches I lived many years with have vanished with a 30 mg dose every night.  I sleep well.  Dry mouth is tolerable and treated with an oral rinse.  I never thought I could feel this good!"


"I've been taking Diovan HCT (80/12.5) for a little over one year.  It has done the trick on my blood pressure but leaves me with a slight headache and afternoon lethargy.  After about 8:00 pm I usually start to feel better.  My doctor and I tried 3 other medicines before Diovan HCT with no results.  I don't know if the side effects are something I will just have to live with or not.  I will discuss this on my next Dr.'s visit."


"Used Percocet when I got my wisdom teeth out. It made the pain tolerable. But the nausea was worse than the pain would have been. I could not even close my eyes because I was so dizzy and sick to my stomach. I had to call the doctor for another pain killer."


"This spray is a "God Send" for me.  It provided immediate relief to my severe case of vasomotor rhinitis.  I suffered from severe nose congestion,(so much so I almost could not breath), and post nasal drip which were immediately relieved."


"I got the shot for the first time in December 2015. I was 4 weeks post partum at the time. The first week was ok. Then I began spotting and eventually it lead to a heavy bleeding. I have been bleeding for going on 3 months.(I am still bleeding.) and was told this morning March 9 2016 that if I don't see a change that I need to go to the emergency room"


"I have been taking this medication for only 12 days. My skin used to be perfect and I did not even have to wear any makeup. My skin has become horrendous, and I haven't even been on the pill for 2 weeks. I am stopping it tomorrow and I am going to see if this clears up my face. My cheeks, jawline, and chin broke out so much and I have never had that happen before. I hate it so much and I don't even want to leave my house. Please check with your doctor and other people who are on this to see of this is right for you."


"I started this pill when I first had my son. It was great at first and I experienced zero side effects. Then everything hit at once. My periods are almost constant, I've gained a crazy amount of weight even though I do heavy cardio 4 times a week and eat a healthy, vegan diet. I really liked this pill but it's inconvenient for long term use. I really can't wait to discontinue using it."


"Went on this medication. Significantly helped my Crohn's but now I am sick all the time with strep throat, whooping cough or what ever else the wind blows in. This plus Crohn's ... my weight is falling like a stone. Registered myself DNR"


"Finally cracked the code on this:
1) Got Suprep early and put it in the fridge to get COLD - put it in the coldest part of my fridge for good measure.
2) Day of prep, I mixed it with flat Mexican Coca-Cola (American Coke may do the same ... but there is a difference in flavor and sweetness).
3) Poured solution over a glass of ice and chugged it down with a large "milkshake" straw.. like the ones they give with Bubble Teas & Smoothies.
This really changed my dread of the prep, while it didn't taste like a Chocolate Milkshake, I wasn't sipping and gagging on it for what seemed forever.
Well, it worked for me ... maybe it will for you. :)"


"This helped me talk some and I was enjoying life more, but I was so angry!"


"Percocet was a life saver for me. I was on Vicodin prior, and they didn't help whatsoever. I had taken Vicodin for like, 5 years. I was at the point where I had to take like SIX Vicodin to get relief. People acted like I was a seeker but I'm definitely not, I just got a high tolerance because the dose was never changed.

Percocet helps so much more!
If I'm in 10/10 pain, I can take like one and a half or two - and it'll take it down to a 3-4/10.

I have quite a few health issues, my main issue is a back injury from cheerleading and a bladder issue called interstitial cystitis. It's excruciating.

Since changing to Percocet, I went from every month or two, being in the ER... to, no ER visits!"


"Started Lexapro 2 days ago. Haven't taken 3rd dose yet.  Been on buspirone (BUSPAR) which has helped.  Lately needed something more due to some travel.  Have severe headache.  Couldn't sleep last night. Very very dizzy.  Waiting to hear from the doctor. Tried Cymbalta with a very similar reaction.  Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to tolerate it.  "


"Little pain relief with horrific side effects including suicidal thoughts.  Have never been a depressive or suicidal type before. "


"Effexor was a miracle drug for me.  Before taking it I had horrid panic attacks and acute distress.  I was at my wits end.  I felt hopeless and tormented by reoccurring panic attacks and terrified thoughts and feelings.  I tried everything for anxiety, even klonipen, having nothing worked.  After taking Effexor for 2 weeks, my anxiety decreased by about 60 %, I felt happier and more in control of my life.  I went from a terrified worry wart to a content person.  I highly recommend it.  It is the best anxiety drug I ever had.  The benefits definitely out weigh the side effects.  The ones I experience is constipation, insomnia and muscle convulsions but it is worth it if you are suffering a lot from anxiety."


"I've been taking Topamax for a little over a year. When I first started taking it I experienced terrible side effects for about three to six months. They killed me especially with my grades. I couldn't focus in school, but it worked wonders with my migraines. I will get one every once in a while but hardly ever, plus I lost like twenty pounds. Totally worth it to be migraine free."


"Am 53 yr old female, have Type 2 diabetes.  Was on metformin for 4 years with good control then developed stomach problems (24/7 nausea).  Have a new Endocrinologist and he recommended metformin ER, and after two days I no longer experience the stomach upset.  Overall very happy with the medication."


"At first I hated this medication, made me really tired, feelings of non reality and weight gain. The doctor who put me on it said to wait and give it a chance. I'm glad I did. I use it to sleep at night, at some point I will reduce it but it's great for now. I have very restful sleeps, but am unable to remember my dreams. I am bipolar and although I am on other medication for it, I believe that Seroquel has been key in my mood stability. I take 100 mg every night, and 25 mg PRN for anxiety if needed. Although I get tired on it, it does slow down my thoughts."


"I used Latuda for bipolar 2 depression for over a week.  It was very expensive!  I could feel a slight difference, more positive mood after a week, but nausea even after taking pill after a full large meal.  The reason I stopped taking it was because two hours after taking the pill, I would fall asleep.  Not just be tired but actually fall asleep at work.  The naps I would take after taking the pill when at home were not fully rested, I would get chills, had to have layers of blankets for 3-4 hours.  Then once I woke up I would feel fine but it would have ruined my sleep pattern for the night ahead.  I think it will work well for someone who does wont experience those side effects.  I would give it a try.  Stay positive!"


"Alright, so in terms of this medication, it did its job. One thing I know after having UTI's here and there on occasion that antibiotics are downright AGGRESSIVE. Even with other antibiotics, I had experience similar side effects. But I'd say for those who are not big on side effects this is not the greatest. Everybodys bodies are different, but in my case I had some of the side affects posted: hard time sleeping, soreness,  headaches, oddly colored diarrhea, you name it. In general nitrofuranctoin means business and really buckle up for the side affects, but it did the job for me and I saw improvement with my UTI in 2 days so far on my 4th day and no UTI!"


"The medication was very effective, however, the excruciating pain I experienced while taking the medication was not fun experience. I took two tablets at 9:00 a.m. Two hours passed and I didnt feel anything. Then it hit just about noon and I started getting terrible stomach cramps. If you are a first time user take one."


"Pain in my neck and shoulders was so severe that my Ortho Doc prescribed this dose pack for Cervical Degenerative Disease.  It has helped relieve the pain, but hopes it lasts.  The side effect have been dizziness, gas, indigestion, but have been able to lie down to get some sleep."


"Avonex has been a God send to me.  I was diagnosed in 95  after experiencing several bad attacks one of which required hospitalization.  Started Avonex in June 96 one month after it came to market.   Got some side effects early on (mainly fatigue) but they soon went away. I no longer have any side effects, don't even premedicate.  The injections are little more than a minor inconvenience .  More importantly I have remained stable with no attacks.
I did experience some fatigue when starting to use the the prefilled syringe.  I quickly went back to original powdered form and remain on it to this day.  I probably could have adjusted to the prefilled syringe but choose not do do so. I expect to continue with the Avonex injections unless it stops working, I develop bad side effects, or a cure is found.  All unlikely scenarios at this point.  I expect to be on it for life."


"My pre-teen daughter started using Pan Oxyl when her face started breaking out. It stopped the breakouts, and I think, prevents others. I've started using it too, and it doesn't make my skin feel dry after use, like Neutrogena.
We recommend it to everyone!"


"I have never in my life felt  so horrible than what I do now. I have taken this med for 4 days , I have been nauseous everyday,  diarrhea  and my stomach hurts gas etc... I can not believe this med would  make me feel this way when it is supposed to help.  Maybe some people  do well on it but I can not do this anymore. I feel worse than what I did  when I started  it. I will just go back to taking  my generic Famotidine  everyday. It works and works right away. I don't even care at this point that Famotidine  doesn't  heal, it just mask the symptoms. I don't care! I just know no more Nexium  for me .  It can all burn!! Like the feeling  I have in my stomach  right now from taking it. Thanks for letting  me give my honest review. G'Day"


"I had really bad acne for years, and finally my doctor told me to try out Epiduo, and it worked! But like all great things it took some time, I started using it when I was about 19 and its cut back on my scarring and everything but I also used it with Birth Control because my breakouts are hormonal! So with the help of birth control and Epiduo my skin is the dream team. Without my birth control though Epiduo works Good but with it, it works AMAZING! It's all about finding that combination with your skin. Hope this helps. And just be patient because it takes a little time but totally worth it."


"I have Asthma so maybe it makes it worse . But it came on suddenly with no fever. No change in pulse . Just a cough that hurt the back of my head so bad that it rattled my brain and made me see fireworks in my head .  I don't think this z pac worked for me because after laying in bed no energy for 1 week I went to the doc again . This time he prescribed Bactrim and it seems to be working - I'm feeling better.  The doc asked if I had a loose stool , no I didn't but my BF has the same symptons and a very loose stool . I just wish he would go to the Doc so we don't pass this back and forth ..Arithamyicin has worked for me in the past but not with whatever this supercough is.  Its feeling like nothing ever before  is ... I just wonder how contagious it is"


"I started Belviq 8 days ago. I did experience dizziness, headaches and tiredness for the first few days but now I'm back to normal and down 8.5 pounds!  What's even better is that not only is my appetite gone, I also get full very quickly so even when I'm not eating as healthy, I only get between 1/4 and 1/2 (if even), which means I still lose weight."


"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 am on my third day of Belviq.  It seems to be working for suppressing my appetite.  I read a lot of reviews before taking it and I have noticed some of the common side effects (not sure if it's just because I read it that I'm thinking I'm feeling it).  I have had some dizziness, super thirsty, some heat flashes, tired... But I do like the fact that it suppresses my appetite.  I've been eating healthier and working out a lot so I will weigh in two weeks.  My start date was 3/10/16 at 217lbs."


"Zantac 150 works very well for my GERD. I take one pill at bedtime with water.  What I didn't realize was that my constant throat clearing was also related to GERD and not some pulmonary problem. Zantac cleared up my constant throat clearing which was even more of an advantage than clearing up my GERD."


"Been through it once before with Gavilyte that you have to drink a gallon of, This time I said "uh-uh" to that and got Suprep instead You mix 6 oz. of the Suprep with 10 oz. cold water, chug it in thirds or quarters, and that's it. It has a lemon-lime flavor that isn't bad texturally is OK. Kept myself hydrated with Gatorade and good ginger ale. The only thing was, the night before the night before I had the suprep, I was obligated to down some magnesium citrate, because I weigh > 190. The Mg Citrate tasted like sour old underwear but still was able to get it down 4 ounces at a time. (Kept it cold.) Add it all up and it was still much easier than the thick, gummy, foul GaviLyte I'd had the first time. Go with Suprep if you can!"


"I am a long time sufferer of sciatica.  I have taken as much as 3600 mg of ibuprofen with only minor relief.  My PCP gave me some samples on Tuesday.  I took 1 Zipsor before flying from Albuquerque to Houston and had relief within the hour and for 3 full days afterward.  I had no side effects."


"I started taking Xanax in 1992 after having a  heart catheter that went wrong. I went into V Tach after that I suffered from arrhythmia daily and panic attacks, ending up in the hospital a few times.. First the arrhythmia starts which brings on panic attacks. I realize now this is all PTSD. My new internist put me on Xanax at. 025mg which had little results then upped to 0.50mg which I take one twice a day. 24 years later I'm still on it taking same dosage. Tried going off a few times unsuccessfully. New doctor lowered it to one day. Hoping for the best."


"This medication is a miracle. Hot flashes and sweats go away, sleep has returned, and I have more energy and clearer thinking. It helps with libido as well. I did notice some hair loss, which surprised me, but overall no other side effects. The major problem with estratest hs is the requirement for a one month prescription, you can no longer get a 3 month supply which would save money, and you have to call the doctor every month to get a new prescription. For women who are menopausal, I find this to be ridiculously inconvenient and costly. Regulations need to be adjusted to accommodate us ladies who need this medication to function. Medicare doesn't cover this med, apparently."


"I've been taking it for a good while now, the first three months I was dizzy, nausea, and moody. But after those initial months that has stopped.[Pros] I had bad acne and it has helped clear it up, periods are less painful .[cons] I have gained a few pounds and am constantly craving food, my sex drive is substantial lower. May be trying another brand soon because of this. **I recommend setting an alarm on phone to remember to take it, mines for 10 that's way if  there's a chance I'll be out late it's with me and taking it won't interfere with my day to day activities**"


"I starting taking Monodox to help with a acne breakout. It worked within 3 days and started drying out my acne, but after 2 weeks I stopped because it was irritating my stomach to much. My face was pretty cleared up but not perfect. I was supposed to be on it for a month. The weirdest thing was the day after I stopped the drug I began have extreme static electricity in my hair. I still have it and it has been 4 days. I Googled to see what it could be and found that people who are on Accutane have experienced the same. I hope it goes away, it is very irritating."


"I suffered (still do) from generalized anxiety disorder. About 4 months ago I finally had to do something. My anxiety got so bad that I couldn't do anything, and I didn't want to do anything! School didn't interest me, I never wanted to go out with my friends, and the symptoms were so bad that all I wanted to do was stay in bed. (dizziness, fatigue, muscle aches, panic attacks, and waking up out of nowhere during the night) I went to my doctor and he prescribed me 10mg of Lexapro. At first, I was scared to take it but I finally was like WHAT THE HECK?! This might help me. And it did. The first week or two I felt dizzy like I was swaying back and fourth, and the dry mouth was annoying but I got used to it. This medication makes me feel like a new person!"


"Like many others on this board, I was prescribed mirvoso for moderate rosasea. I used it for maybe a week but it caused very severe rebound flushing (my face was all over magenta, even in areas where the drug was not used) so I discontinued use. Soon there after, I started developing almost cystic-acne like papule began to appear along my cheeks and forehead (where I had never gotten such acne before) and have persisted for the past 6 months. I have learned since that these withdrawl effects, while sometimes temporary, can last for as long as a year or more. In short, this drug greatly damaged my skin and so far I have not found any product or regime either prescription or OTC that can provide relief. Strongly do not recommend."


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


"I have had NO noticeable side affects from this medication. I did stop taking it for a week and found out how much I really do need atenolol. My heart palpitations returned with a vengeance. Post heart attack .. listen to your doctor."


"I checked in my first week on Contrave and had lost 4lbs I have been on it 3 weeks and am down 14lbs. Still no I'll side effects, sometimes if I eat too much I feel as if I will be sick."


"When I first started the Chantix my doctor said to stop smoking after the first week of starting chantix but when I tried I was still having bad cravings for a cigarette so I ended up smoking but I continued to take the chantix and after a month and a half I was down to smoking only five cigarettes a day so then I finally said that I was done smoking and put down the cigarettes.  Now I have been four months smoke free you will still have small craving but you just have to resist the urge chew gum or suck on a sucker until the urge passes and I am still taking the chantix this is my last month on it so I quit smoking in October and this is January so three months after my last cigarette and I feel great not had a cigarette now since ."


"I just tried ambien last night for the first time since not getting any more than 2-3 hrs of sleep and I didn't take the recommended amount of 5mg I took 10mg n it worked perfect for me no side affects of being drowsy in the morning nothing slept right through the night and woke up like a new refreshed woman."


"This medicine gave me back my life! I got laid off, then had to move and I used to sit in the house in my pajamas all day and not even want to go outside or do anything. I started taking Wellbutrin and I got a job, started working out, met my new fiancee, and went back to school. That was over five years ago, I graduate college in Feb. 2009! You are worth it!"


"Had my Mirena inserted about 2 weeks ago. I am 22 and haven't had any kids, I wanted an alternative to the pill as I've been on it for 6 years. I have to say that I was pretty nervous after reading so many bad comments. I was on the 3rd day of my period and for me the insertion hurt like a couple of pinches and a really bad cramp that gave me all hot and made me nauseous. But it only took about 10 minutes and then it was okay. The rest of the day I had fairly strong cramps but nothing unbearable. The next day I felt back to normal. My period lasted another couple of days and stopped like normal. Since then I have had very minor spotting with an odd little cramp here and there. Very happy so far."


"Every time I take it I feel like the me before Fibro. I was doagnosed 3 years ago. I have had prednisone maybe 5 times now but only for a few week my primary doctor wont give it to me long term to may risks. So in Dec. When I see my RA dr I am asking for it long term. The benifits out weight the benefits. I have three kids and a "possible" early death and bad side effect are minor compared to my kids not having a full functioning mommy now. They are to little for me to be bed ridden or a having these horrible flares and missing their T ball games. I want them to have good memories of me not memories of me being sick."


"I got Nexplanon in June 2014, at first I had my period for a little over a month. But short after I started to get headaches everyday and bad ringing in my ears. After a few months my ears started to pop everytime I would swallow and still does til this day. It's not an ear infection, I've been to the docter. I constantly feel bloated and sharp cramp even when I'm not on my period. I get irritated very quickly and feel on edge most of the time. But so far very effective of preventing pregnancy  but over all experience not very good hope to get it taken out SOON! I wouldn't  recommend it - but everyone's different."


"I was having to use albuterol several times a day, after nearly collapsing while fighting  fire. I saved up and sought treatment. I no longer use albuterol!! Been 2 months now and insurance covers this."


"I realize the insertion experience is different for everyone but let me tell you, I think bikini waxes are three times as painful as a Skyla insertion. It was nothing more than a period cramp sensation followed by a sharp pinch - all of lasting around 5-8 seconds. The worst part were the cramps that followed afterwards for a day but nothing a heating pad and some Advil couldn't resolve. I am now on my second day and the cramps have subsided almost completely. I just wanted to write this review because there are SO many horror stories out there and I believe those are the exceptions, not the norm, for the Skyla IUD insertion process. Overall, I am very pleased so far!"


"My first dose but I do not see any improvement"


"I got mood swings that most of the time is controllable but still I shouldn't randomly start crying. I have no sex drive. I'm so irritable. With my period its heavy long and it hurts so bad! I am going to my doctor to get a new pill after the next 2 months that I've already purchased. Overall the only good thing is that my breasts got slightly bigger."


"Works like a charm. I take it only when I get an uncontrollable dry heaving gagging sore ribs diaphragm forget about sleeping kind of cough if I have an URI, occurs about once every several years. If you're experiencing side effects try taking lowest dose possible and make sure you're hydrated."


"I have been on this BC for 4 weeks, obviously with new hormones in your body things are going to change and you may break out or gain weight. The first week I was on this BC I had a very bad break out, I was very moody, and I had a hard time waking up. Now that I'm on my second dosage, my acne has cleared and I am waking up on time. I'm still somewhat moody but overall the pill has been working and I don't regret taking it. As far as weight gain, I have gained a couple pounds but I have been working out a lot more recently."


"My Implanon was inserted in September 09. When it was first inserted I had a very light period for 3 days and after that I stopped having periods until recently starting in January. I will bleed for about 2-3 weeks then a few days off and the bleeding starts again. This is the only side effect that I have and it is hard because I have a very high sex drive but other than that I must honestly say that I love the Implanon a lot more than Depo and the pill. With the Implanon I know its there and I don't have to run to the doctor every 3 months or I don't have to remember to take it everyday at the same time. So come 2012 I'm going back to get it reinserted but in a week my doctor will start me on estrogen. I was told that it helps with the bleeding."


"Age 66 with advanced arthritis, multiple spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.  Awaken refreshed after 9+ hours without usual back or muscle pain.  Dosage only 5 mg.

Absolutely awesome!

Only up to use restroom once or twice and able to go straight back to sleep.

Only problem. Insurance limits me to 90/year.

Yeah, only 1.7 nights a week do I get decent sleep and pain relief."


"I've been taking Losartan for less than a month, but I had, and still have, side effects immediately after taking it. I feel dizzy, warmer than usual, thirsty, bloated, tired, have rapid heartbeat with 'thumps', headaches, and have blurry vision. Also, I gained 7 pounds and haven't changed my diet in any way..and I'm active. I'm going back to my doctor next week to see if there's something else I can take instead of this."


"This birth control has come with a couple side effects for me but overall I think it's completely worth it and the side effects are minor and can be controlled. I've been on it for about 1.5 months. This drug gives me no nausea whatsoever, and I have an extremely sensitive stomach. One side effect is it makes me break out a bit. I haven't had acne for several years now but a couple weeks into taking this pill I did start getting bumps. The breakouts aren't too bad though. Only other thing is I've noticed my appetite increase quite a bit. I normally don't get hungry till 10-11 AM but the pill makes me starving the second I wake up and I can consume more food. So just watch your weight while you're on it if that's something you struggle with."


"Macrobid take 1 capsule 2x daily for 7 days.
I am on day 3, my symptoms of urgent urination with little results, are slowly going away. I still feel very uncomfortable especially in my back. I am noticing an increase of discharge and itchiness with my vagina. Yes, my urine is neon colored, too. Overall, I feel better day by day, I wish this drug would work faster!"


"10+ years on it. Can't feel it. Never falls out. Husband notices it but is used to it. Leave it in for vacation so I don't get a period (in on 1st, out on 25th for period on 27th is my normal routine but if I want to skip, I take out and replace on the 1st).

Removed it to try and conceive and got pregnant the following month. I feel bad for the women that had poor experiences. I love nuvaring."


"Was prescribed this for a sinus infection  and had some really bad side effects, such as  severe dizziness,  nausea,  lightheadedness,  feeling spacey,  and vomiting.  I'm very sensitive when it comes to any kind of medication."


"I took topiramate for approx 3 months before I refused to continue with the therapy. The side effects (peripheral neuropathy, inability to remember anything, altered taste of just about everything, insomnia were not worth suffering through. So I'm still going through an adjustment. As of right now, I have been taking propranolol for a month and have not had a migraine (was getting 1-2 a week previously)."


"I take this medication for pelvic floor dysfunction.  It works well, but does leave me a bit foggy.  I try to only take one pill a day, but I definitely notice I'm not as sharp for the entire day after taking it.  But I couldn't get through physical therapy without it."


"I was on Risperdal, but that caused tiredness and lactation, so I had to stop. I was put on Abilify (only 5 mg). It was one of the worst things I have ever experienced. I could NOT sit still. When I was standing I had to pace, when I was sitting I had to rock back and forth, and I absolutely could not lie down. I'd have bouts of rage and crying, but I'm not sure if that was the medicine itself causing agitation or if I was just upset because I was so restless. I also couldn't sleep more than 4 hours a night, and not at all during the day. The whole 2 weeks I was on it all I did was pace around crying and restless. These side effects definitely don't happen to everyone but they are possible, so you're aware."


"I was out of hope for any medicine helping me.  Then Lorcet  changed my life by taking my pain away. I am so thankful for the pain relief from my Rheumatoid Arthritis and Neuropathy."


"I've been using doxepin for about 2 years for insomnia.  I used to wake every night after 2-3 hours of sleep and then was unable to get back to sleep for 1-2 hours.  This has helped tremendously.  I now sleep through the night, dream and feel better through the day.  If I do wake, I am able to roll over and get back to sleep quickly.  I take it just prior to bed, and get about 7 solid hours of sleep.  I experience some dry mouth in the morning, but nothing severe, and it can be a bit difficult to get going in the morning.  Overall, I'm much better than before."


"I really wish I could rate this drug lower than 1. The absolute biggest draw back to this drug is that once you have injected it into your system you cannot stop taking it. I would strongly, strongly warn anyone with a history of mental health or mood issues to stay far, far away from this drug. It has turned someone I know into an absolute monster.
When first asked to consider this drug they were told that poor reactions were rare, but now they are being told it may take several doses, months for this drug to start working properly. As for the constant bleeding and uncontrollable mood swings... the doctors only advice is take another shot and wait and see. It is ruining their life."


"I got Depo-Provera on June 10 at the hospital after giving birth to my daughter. Today is September 15 and I have not stopped bleeding at all! I also have two friends who have the same problem. This shot is terrible!"


"I took Farxiga for 8 months. I ended up with numerous horrible urinary tract and yeast infections. So bad one time that it required an ER visit and missing work. At the end of the 8 months my A1c went from a 6.7 to a 7.1. It didn't work at all for me just made me miserable. ."


"First 3 months I spotted but been on for about 8 months and it is amazing. Less periods means less pain for me PLUS my periods have been very light!"


"I've been on Viibryd for a year now. It's completely changed my life. When I went to the doctor I knew it was time to get help. I still have a bad day now and then but who doesn't. No more crying, staying in bed for days and hating life. I know medication works differently for everyone but this is what worked for me. No matter what don't give up get help!"


"I kissed a girl with cold sores when I was 17. I get cold sores on my lip whenever I am sick or very stressed. It happens more during the winter months. It took 18 months from my contamination until my 1st outbreak. I had outbreaks once per year for 3 years, then twice per year for 3 years. Now that I am 35 I get 4 outbreaks per year. I take 2 grams on Valtrax when I first feel tingly then 1 gram the next day (24 hours). This totally prevents my outbreaks! Valtrax works great!

Also, do not share food, drinks, or kiss anyone while you have a cold sore. It is very contagious! Keep your kids safe."


"I have had severe migraines for years and tried several medications, but none work like Treximet especially without the side effects.  I have wanted to stab myself in the eyes more times than I'd like to admit, but I now take Treximet and a nap and wake up without a headache at all.  Treximet is very expensive but it works."


"Effexor XL has worked very well for me in combating my depression. I have been very diligent in taking the medicine properly and on schedule every day at near the same time. This past weekend due to an oops at the doctor's office a refill was not called in properly to the pharmacy before I went out of town for the weekend and I left town without any Effexor. Needless to say I experienced Effexor withdrawal symptoms. Heed my warning! It's not a good idea to miss a dose and you DEFINITELY DO NOT want to miss any doses. It was awful. Don't let the script run out."


"My doc prescribed Nuvaring because I would like to use something that does not give me a stomach ache and also simple to use. So at the 5 days, I felt the happiest woman ever.  I consider myself a very happy person but after 10 days using it, It's been a daily conflict within myself. I feel sad, lonely, hopeless, worthless, and ugly. I also gain some weight.  Yesterday I finally take of it. I hope I feel better very soon.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND"


"I have taken Levora birth control since I was 17 and I had zero troubles, but due to insurance loss at 21 I had to switch to the health department's offbrand which was Orsythia. The first 3 months were horrible. I was told they were similar birth controls and that I may experience some changes but they never went away or decreased. I had bad anxiety, more cramping during my period, I spotted all the time, during the 4th month I had another period during the middle of the pack for no reason and I was very angry and emotional as well as sad and lazy. Things did not excite me any more and I just wanted to lay in bed and sleep because I was always tired. Never again."


"I am on 40mg of Prilosec for GERD and I have zero heartburn 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Do not forget to take a dose or else the fire monster comes up your throat."


"I have struggled with athletes foot and toe nail fungus since I was a young child. I am 40 years old now and I started a 90 day treatment of Lamisil tablets. My experience was life changing. I didn't have ANY bad side effects. I had GOOD effects of clearing up that nightmare that I suffered from for most of my life. I never wore sandals or walked around barefoot because I was embarrassed. Now my feet look normal.  I started seeing results and feeling better within a month. The itching and burning went away. The second month I could see my nails changing color from black to clear. I started taking my pills at the end of October 2012 and finished in the middle of January 2013, it is April now, and my nails are completely clear."


"Ongoing bouts of diverticulitis. I tried to go without taking the flagyl and cipro but always end up back on it to heal . If you have diverticulitis and a fever you should be seen at the emergency room . Never get a colonoscopy if you feel infected. I was told you have to wait 8 weeks after diverticulitis to be safe having the procedure."


"I am 19, and the obgyn I go to strongly suggested getting Mirena, but after reading the horror stories people post online about it I was almost too terrified to get it. I finally decided to get it and it is the BEST form of birth control out there. I didn't even feel them insert it! I've also seen a lot about people talking about the strings stabbing them or their partner. Just ask them not to cut the strings, ask them to tuck them behind your cervix. It works great! The only side effects was the barely mild cramping for a day afterwards. I did have spotting light spotting for a month but I haven't had a period since. If you're thinking about getting it you definitely should at least try it."


"Helps."


"Female adult early 30s, hormonal acne

Tried Clindoxyl prior to Tactupump but it didn't help at all.

Went on Tactupump and within a few weeks my skin was noticeably getting better.  Probably took about three months to really get all the benefit of it.   Use it as a spot treatment as well and it's amazing at stopping the bumps.

Regarding the side effects, I didn't experience severe burning and chapping but I think it's because I had been on Clindoxyl and my skin had toughened up to the medicines.  Use a thin layer and be sure to moisturize over top.   Even moisturize first and then put the medicine on overtop; it'll still work.

Try this product now!  BTW it lasted me about 6 months and was still going but I refilled the rx."


"I've been taking this for 4 weeks and have lost 20lbs! I don't have cravings and just a few bites and I'm full. I drink a lot of water."


"Accutane works. I've had cystic acne since I was a teen, and tried nearly every medicine. Acne went away but came right back after a few months taking antibiotics. Tried every topical cream I could find (prescribed or OTC), and all they did was dry my face out without fixing the problem. I will say that Retin-A helped a little bit (made it at least manageable with a good brand of makeup). Acne got much worse as a young adult (painful, deep, multiple cysts) and finally got prescribed Accutane. I've been taking it for a couple of weeks and already noticing a huge difference in my face. I don't get big painful cysts anymore, and while my lips are really dry, I've had no issues wearing contacts. I swear by Carmex lip balm!"


"I am now exactly one month in. My start weight was 301 and I am now at 278! Hooray! The only side effects I still have are dry mouth, nasty taste in my mouth, and jitters from time to time. I will update again in one month :)"


"Does not help, better when I was on metphomin alone"


"This medication has been an absolute God send to me. Prior to taking low-dose Atenolol, I was getting crippling migraines once a month or so that would consume 48-72 hours of my life. My doctor began prescribing Atenolol over three years ago, and I have only had three or four migraines since - all of which I was able to stop immediately with Imitrex. I have no side effects other than sleepiness, which simply means I take it before bed and there are no issues."


"I take Zoloft, Zyprexa and dothiepin. All very effective."


"I have partial seizures. I take lithium and also take Valerian . The lithium worked fine. Now I just take Valerian. I do not think this would work for gran mal. I had vimpat pushed on me. I tried a free sample. Total garbage. In fact that's where I threw it out. Horrible drug.Felt like I was on LSD or some kind of mind frying drug.yuk.Makes me sick to think how I felt on it. I could not tolerate it AT ALL."


"I took Lisinopril for about a year and a half. I coughed so bad all the time I could not stand it any longer. Stopped up head and hard to breathe.

My doctor changed me to Diovan 160mg and I have been on it for 2 months now and my head has cleared and my cough is completely gone. My blood pressure has been in the. 110's over 60's. So far I am very happy with Diovan!!!"


"I took this for 6 months.  It does a pretty good job at clearing up my skin but occasionally I get large single zits once in a while.  I did not experience any bad moods, fatigue, or weight gain as with other pills so Azurette is the most tolerable pill by far for me.  But it causes so much hair loss I need to switch to a different pill."


"I've had remarkable results since beginning Victoza in January.  Fasting blood sugars have improved, lost 10 pounds, my energy has returned, and the awful eczema that would never heal is gone.  I did have moderate nausea and headaches for about 6 weeks, and was ready to quit... but that has gone away.  After 1 1/2 years of trying different medicines without much success I told my doctor that I feel like my old self again.  I hope for all of us type 2's that it will continue to perform without major side effects!"


"Xanax has been great (for it's purpose) that I have ever been prescribed.  My Dr. tried my on Vistaril, which didn't work at all.  1mg of Xanax 3x daily and my whole day is fine. "


"I was on chantix for two months and there were a few side effects.  After a month into taking it, I ran out of smokes towards the end of the day and just didn't have the desire to get anymore, before I knew it, it was a week and so forth.  I have now not smoked in over four months.  For me, taking this pill just slowly reduced my cravings.  I can tell you that I was off a little bit, nothing I could put my finger on just off...like a bit slow.  I had weird dreams and was crabbier too. Due to these side effects, after I stopped smoking I took the pill for another month and stopped chantix too.   This was the only thing that has ever worked, I've tried patches, lozenges, e-cig, and cold turkey.  It is really nice to be smoke free."


"I have been on and off several birth control medications for several years this is my first bad experience. I was originally put on Ortho Tri-Cyclen then Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, then Sprintec, then something else. But since I have been on TriNessa I have yet to stop bleeding, I started the first day of my period had my regular period for my usual 7 days and have had continued spotting heavily everyday since. Now going on my third week. As far as birth control is concerned very effective since I haven't been able to have sex since I started taking it, not exactly my idea of great birth control. "


"I was given 12.5 mg of generic Paxil 5 days ago. My anxiety started to manifest itself with uncontrollable crying. While it's has been only 5 days, the crying has stopped. So I'm happy with that. However, I am experiencing side effects: lightheaded, pin prick feelings in arms and legs, some joint pain, lower back pain, and lethargy that makes me feel like doing/caring about nothing.

Because the side effects come and go, I'm willing to wait it out to see if everything mellows out."


"I am a fine artist with Bipolar. I have been taking Saphris for almost a month, which was added to my other medicines Lithium and Depakote. The first night (5mg) I woke to use the restroom and felt so dizzy I thought there was no way I would be taking it again - even in the morning I felt so tired, but it lifted around noon and I just felt calm the rest of the day. The next day was a little better and so on. After a week my Psych doctor put me on 10mg at bedtime but after 4 days still felt too tired to do much but watch T.V, so went down to 5mg again.  Racing thoughts have leveled out and I no longer have paranoia/suspicious feelings and anger problems are all but gone. Best of all I enjoy working on my art again and can concentrate more on it!"


"Absolutely hate the packaging. Vagifem's was so much better. I need scissors to cut the applicators apart, versus just tearing with Vagifem. Two times in 2 weeks the tablets were found stuck to my slippers or pj bottoms because they fell out. What a crappy packaging method and applicator issue that would be so easy for them to correct! As far as effectiveness goes, I see no difference between this drug and Vagifem, but I still wish I could use Vagifem - too expensive though."


"I had my implant injected in June 2015 and its Sept 2015 so in fairly new at this. I will say that my arm bruised for a couple days after injected. I had to apply ice for a couple of days before my arm was 100% useful again. After 3 months I haven't had a period and haven't really had any spotting. I have noticed some weight gain.. About 3lbs. I plan to keep an eye out for the weight gain. No other symptoms."


"I suffer from Giant Urticaria which is caused from several different things like Pepsi Max and Persil Washing Powder.

My Dr. provided 10mg Cetirizine and I take it only when the reaction starts and within 30 minutes the itchiness stops and after a few hours the hives and redness have completely gone. It does make me very drowsy but that's a small price to pay for relief. Great product, highly recommended."


"Although Synthroid keeps my test results "normal" I still have all of the hypothyroid symptoms. Severe exhaustion, sensitivity to cold, trouble concentrating, etc...like I haven't experienced since before I found out I had hypothyroidism. I was only put on Synthroid since the medication I am normally prescribed is no longer available."


"I've been on painkillers for 16 years. I started Suboxone about 1 year now and I feel great. It helped me get my life back together. I'm getting my kids back now, have my own home and most of all have a wonderful husband who stood by my side through all this and never gave up on me or us. So please if you really want help and your life back try Suboxone, it's a life saver. I pray for anyone and everyone whos ever been an addict. Hope this works for you."


"So happy this last for 10 years! 25 years old(I had it inserted a year ago)Now I gave it 9/10 due to the heavy bleeding for the first 3-4 months, Once you get over that hill Its amazing. No hormones which was VERY important for me personally. So if your looking for a very effective birth control, look no further! Just expect heavy bleeding for at least a few months, It gets better you just have to let your body adjust to the new device."


"Me and my mom (both of us are adults) both started it. She has low thryroid and I think that and menopause made her gain a lot of weight. She already lost over 10lbs and has no side effects. She said she doesn't even know she's taking it, except she has lower appetite and is kinda happier. She does seem happier, because I notice her talking more to friends and doing things, where before she had not been wanting to see people or go places for some reason. She doesn't normally want to take medicines but I am really glad she's taking the Contrave.

I am trying to quit smoking (1 of the ingredients helps w/ that). At first I felt a bit "buzzed" but now I'm used to it. So far quit smoking & have even lost a little weigh"


"I've been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and have been taking Paxil for about 3 months. When I first began the medication I completely lost my appetite. I dropped 10 pounds within the first 2 weeks without even trying. After about a month it leveled back out. However, even after 3 months I still don't sleep well on it. It has also taken a toll on my sex drive. I'm in the process of quitting Paxil to try something new. You do not want to quit this medication suddenly. You will experience terrible withdrawal symptoms. Even though I am quitting gradually they are still quite intense."


"I've been treatment resistant to everything but this. It saved my life. Only problem is the slight weight gain and dry skin."


"Horrible side effects on 3 different occasions after removing patch.  Nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness lasting 3-7 days all three times."


"The cost is the only reason I give it a 9 star instead of 10.
I have been on Humira for about 2 months. The very next day after my first injection I could close my fingers for the first time in months, my knees bent better, and a knot on my hand disappeared. Talk about a surprise for me! I worry about long time effects of being on Humira but will figure that out later. I'm also on methotrexate and prednisone. I have recently quit Plaquenil and Celebrex."


"I had an EF of 12 - no cause or history or heard disease.  My doctor put me on Coreg along with other meds and 6 months later, my EF is 55-60.  I have some side effects from the Coreg, mainly some weakness and occasionally some dizziness, but it is nothing compared to being in heart failure.  Very thankful my doc prescribed this med."


"I love it. Remember not everything is right for everybody we all have different bodies. I can't take anything I always have bad side effects I am 3 days in now I noticed I can go without snacking all day and night because for some reason I'm hungry all the time and by the 3rd day I feel different in a good way. I'm going to wait until my 7th day to weigh myself, I just feel more positive or something its hard to explain I guess like I have some hope now. I weigh 206 now I want to be back to my normal weight of 130 and I have a feeling I may be able to do that now since now I can pass on the carbs without craving them all the time. I hope that other people that feel like there is no hope and feel like a prisoner in your body can use this also."


"I've been on this medication for about six months. I'm 37 years old and I've had acne since I was 12 years old. I had tried every medicine out there pretty much. This medication has made my skin clearer than it has been since I was 12! I use it in combination with clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide face cream at night. Occasionally around my cycle I will get one or two pimples but they clear up quickly. I am so pleased to have my life and my self-confidence back! One thing I will note, my sex drive is through the roof! And I am not complaining about that, nor is my husband!!!"


"I have been taking Seasonale for almost 3 years now. I'm 21 & pretty healthy. When I started, I had breakthrough bleeding for about 3 weeks and a little nausea. Before Seasonale, I had 8 day heavy periods and would get pretty bad cramping. With this pill, I have a very light period once every 3 months, no cramping at all and no other symptoms. I have had no weight gain, rarely any breast tenderness and it prevents pregnancy, so I can't complain too much. My ONLY problem with this pill is that it gives me acne in waves. I'll go a month with very little acne, then for a few months have lots of breakouts, some of them painful. I never had any acne prior to taking the pill, but now I do.. Otherwise, I highly recommend this pill"


"I was diagnosed with 4 baseball sarcoma tumers in my liver July 15 2014. Did 6 weeks of GEMS/Taxol and after the scan showed two more tumors in the liver and four now in my lungs. My doctor put me on Votrent and scanned me once again after six weeks. All the tumors in my lungs have shrunk half their size and one tumer in the liver shrunk half it's size as well and all the others in the liver are dying from the inside out. Praise The LORD !"


"I take Ambien, Ambien CR and rotate to Lunesta briefly when they build a tolerance. Ambien is first rate though. They all have an odd effect of not drifting off - I blink and wake up in the morning. I'm ok with that. Ambien CR makes me a bit cranky if I wake early, like the cat waking me. Otherwise they all work, and fast, like 30 minutes. I have a small amount of Ambien CR left, which I think is the best but it's expensive. The others are generic, but work ok."


"I've suffered from depression and anxiety since I was a teen, made worse after the birth of my child. I tried various antidepressants which had the usual side effects of headaches, sluggishness, low libido and weight gain. One was a total disaster and triggered a hypo manic episode. I've spent 3 years medication free, with no manic episodes but still struggling with depression.  3 weeks ago I started Lamictal. I know it's early days to call it a win but I immediately felt better. The volume on that horrible self talk has been muted, I feel positive and optimistic. No headaches, no loss of libido and it is weight neutral. I have noticed a few side effects - the first week my skin was very itchy and I'm losing more hair than usual. Hope this subsides."


"I am 19, have no kids and got the Mirena inserted about a month ago. At first I was nervous because of the pain and it was pretty painful (not going to lie) but I had not taken any medication prior to getting inserted so that may have been a factor. I have had some spotting but nothing too heavy, I am a college student so the 5 years of having it will benefit me very well. Although sometimes I get cramps I think that it is the most effective use of birth control and my doctors were very open and willing to discuss all the side effects. It's great."


"After examining my MRI, my doctor diagnosed me with a herniated cervical disk where the hernia is pinching a nerve. I had an excruciating pain that shot through my left shoulder blade all the way down my arm. The pain is akin to being bashed on my upper arm several times with a baseball bat. Until my diagnosis I was laid up flat on my back in bed for about a week like in paralysis. My doctor prescribed a combination of Lyrica (pregabulin) and tramacet (tramadol). It has been a miracle for me. I've been experimenting with the dosages. I'm currently on extended release tramacet (100mg) and Lyrica (75mg) 4 times a day. I sometimes take an extra  tramacet IR (37mg) for breakthrough pain. This seems to be the bare minimum which works for me."


"Yesterday I woke up feeling very sick, I had a horrible sore throat, bad migraine and I felt like I was going to vomit. I went to the doctor and he prescribed Biaxin. Ever since I started taking Biaxin I have been very sleepy during the day and restless sleep during the night, it has also left a really bitter taste in my mouth. I have been drinking so much water and going to the bathroom lots, but it doesn't seem to have made anything better. I will give it a few more days."


"My previous doctor prescribed Tramadol for diabetic neuropathic pain... ADVIL worked better!  After 2 ears I switched doctors and my current doctor prescribes Norco.  Wonderful!"


"I like clondine I've been on herion for 7 years and clondine is a miracle but I take nausea meds with it an a vitamin and a benzodiazepine and I believe it really works for me. The only down fall is dry mouth and light headed but if that's the only two complaints I have verses the vomiting and all the other bad side effects from herion I would say it's 100% wonderful for me and I enjoy keeping my money and not paying dealers bills and supporting there families while my suffers. I don't have any babies but there are things I have put off in my life that now I can take care of."


"Prescribed this medication at the age of 16 for insomnia. 25 mg. Knocked me out for 14-20 hours at a time. Changed to half a 25 mg tablet. Sleep just fine. Now at the age of 20 after not using it for 3 years still works the exact same way, no side effects, helps me fall asleep and stay asleep for at least 8 hours. LIFE SAVER.
Never been on a higher dose than 25 mg, solely used for sleep."


"1 year ago my MD put me on Synthroid and after 3 months I had so much pain in my legs, I stopped taking it and my pain went away. I discovered Armour thyroid and it made such a difference in the way I felt. "


"This medicine has really made a difference in my life. On it one month, and I feel much better. The cloud has been lifted. I am not down all of the time."


"I was put on Celexa, Depakote, and Seroquel when I was a month into being 13 years old. I was fine for a week then the voices returned with a vengeance, much worse and far more taunting and tormenting than ever before (or since).  I became a zombie, unable to communicate the problems to my doctor or family. In addition, when I described problems to my doctor he insisted Seroquel didn't cause those effects. Drowsiness, craving sugar, problems with walking and balance, and becoming a far more ill person than I was when I began the medication. I gained 60 lbs in three months. When I stopped Seroquel, I returned to "base sanity". My weight returned to normal."


"This drug is a lifesaver for my wife, but take it at the very first sign of trouble, and drink lots of water with it."


"It works. Don't fart unless your able to change your pants right away if you know what I mean"


"Suffering 16 years ago from PTSD after being told in hospital that I only had 30 mins before I would die, I was a wreck when I came home and lived in fear and terror, shortness of breath, uncontrollable shaking, extreme nausea, body aching all over, doctor and specialist visits - had every test known to the medical world, all came back normal.  Finally a friend suggested I try Zoloft and after a week I felt myself starting to feel normal again and after six months I gave it up, but since then I periodically have PTSD symptoms and 5mg of Valium (don't buy generic diazepam) on those days has been my life saver.  God bless you Pfizer Pharmaceuticals!"


"Hi I have been on 25mg since a year and half ego. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I refuse to take any mess but it got so bad I had to do something. My pcp put me on zoloft ..that pill gave me such bad side effects I though was going to die..so I went to a psychiatrist and she put me on elavil I wad so nervousabout starting new medication but I knew I had to try it she prescribe 25 milligrams 3 times a day I know my body and I knew that was a high dose for an so I started with 25mg..and yes it made me really really tired so I took it at night and within 2 weeks I felt so much better.I still get tired but it helps me sleep I love this medication"


"It's horrible if you have irregular periods DO NOT I CAN NOT URGE YOU enough it's not meant for you because you will bleed forever"


"I have had Crohns disease for many years and have used many medications.  I started using Pentasa in November and did very well until the last month, when I started having chest pains, heart palpitations. I am now off all medications, but continue to feel tired and weak.  The past two years I have had reactions to all of the medications we have tried."


"Been taking these due to 2 back surgeries within a 9 month period. Doesn't really help with my muscle spasms."


"I just got skyla after I had a c section (8 weeks ago) and did not feel a thing! I usually hate papsmears so I figured this would be painful... Nope! Nothing. Just the tool they use to widen you definitely doesn't feel good but it's tolerable. I have yet to feel a cramp. I think every body is different. But no complaints here."


"I was prescribed this medication along with Valium, Halcion and Motrin to ease withdrawal symptoms of heroin addiction. It did help while using it but my situation needed other therapy (methadone maintenance) to overcome my addiction.
 I do know several people who did benefit with the use of Catapres alone in quitting heroin addiction."


"This is the only medication I have found that has worked in combination with my other medications in ten years for my bi polar and I'm very pleased with the results!"


"After years of chronic pain and depression that responded to nothing I finally asked for a Vitamin D blood test. BINGO. Low normal is 40 - I was a 4. After 8 weeks of once a week doses of 50,000 units, and a daily dose of 2000 units, I am feeling better than I have in years! I live in AZ - low D can happen anywhere!"


"Took Augmentin for a bacterial infection.  The infection cleared up, but the day I took my last dose, I broke out in  severe hives.  I was out of town so did not see my doctor.  Took Benadryl every 6 hours for 4 days before the hives subsided.  The hives covered everywhere from my face to my feet.  Although it cleared up my infection, I would not want to face that side effect again. Never had any allergies to antibiotics before."


"Sonata didn't phase me. I couldn't even tell I took it. Ambien was great, I'm switching back."


"My doctor put me on the patches about 8 months ago. I was taking Norco 10/325, and Lyrica 50mg three times a day. I was still having pain at night, and when I had to walk for any distance at all. This medicine has changed my life, I can sleep all night without waking up from pain, I can walk through the mall now and not limp as bad. I still take 6 Norco a day, and my Lyrica 3Xday. But combined with the patch, I feel like I have a new lease on life. The only side effects I have had is a tendency to nod off if I sit down for long, and a decrease in my appetite which is good for helping me lose some weight."


"I've been on Arimidex for about 10 months now for endometroid type, estrogen and progesterone sensitive, endometrial cancer, stage 2, grade 3, greater than 50% myometrial invasion.   also had internal rads (brachytherapy), but chose to forgo the chemo and external rads.  I'm one year out from surgery, and to date, no evidence of disease.  I eat healthy, have lost a lot of weight, and do a lot of exercise -- especially running, since running helps strengthen your bones.  I'm not sure how the Arimidex might have affected my bone density over this last year, because I was never given a bone density test.  I also take a calcium-magnesium-vitamin D-vitamin K-boron supplement to help strengthen my bones."


"The patch started off a great alternative to the other options, but I quickly had too many issues with it to continue using it. It constantly peels off, it leaves big red itchy bumps, it loses its effectiveness after about 4 days, it makes me dizzy, nauseous, light-headed, it makes my heart race, and it gives me headaches. Too bad because it really killed the pain. Never mind the cost."


"Worst burning in my life. My vagina is on fire. Do not use this $&/@ product. Surprised this is even on the market. Should be illegal."


"Took my first dose of 25mg on a Wednesday evening, that Thursday morning I woke up with nausea and diarrhea that only became more severe as the day went on. Had to leave work due to the severe nausea. Went to sleep around 2 p.m. and didn't wake up until 1 p.m. Friday. The only benefits I can say I had were the loss of weight (159lbs at appointment on Thursday/ 155.5lbs on Sunday) and I was able to quit smoking as I didn't have the urge to."


"Very effective against anxiety possibly the best."


"For the past five years I have been battling depression. I feel extremely fatigued and unmotivated with thoughts of wanting to be dead. Life is totally miserable most times. I went from Cymbalta to Wellbutrin and after a few weeks I started to feel alive again. After about a year on it now I am back to my old depressive ways and my doctor is reluctant to start me on something new. So right now I am miserable again and waiting for my doctor to try something different. I wish all the best to everyone out there fighting this terrible disease!"


"So 6 hours after having unprotected sex.. I got this pill. My period came 7 days later and guess what? I’m still bleeding it’s day 9 today. I have really sore breasts too. I do not recommend this drug at all.. it’s a no no"


"This is a miracle pill for ADHD.  After years of searching for a solution that would work with my chemistry, I feel so blessed."


"Sprintec is the first BC I've taken. I figured it was time to put the "pull and pray" method to rest. I've been taking it for a year now, and so far I love it. No weird side effects, shorter periods, lighter periods, and no pregnancies!"


"I take Ambien every now and again when I know I need to get a good nights sleep, no side effects and feel refreshed in the morining. Although, one night my wife woke me up about an hour on so after taking it to go to the kitchen with her, don't remember any of it."


"Most effective medicine for bipolar disorder, at least for me."


"I took the medicine for 2 days. One pill per day, on the third day I woke up fine and fifteen minutes later I had severe abdominal  pain, sweating enough to drench my shirt and head, disorientated, dizzy, and vomiting.I ended up in the ER and after blood work, an EKG, and a CT scan they couldn't find anything. They could tell me what it wasn't'. They sent me home with anti nauseous medicine. So two days go by and I realize I have not taken my supplement for arthritis so I take it that afternoon and by evening I have severe abdominal pain, dizziness and vomiting. Pretty sure it was the SAMe because I have felt fine since not taking any."


"My son is 13 and has been on Intuniv for 2 weeks. The first week we were in shock thinking "He is so NICE now".  In the 2nd week he seems to be getting more forgetful, less concentration. But he is eating so much more now. We were always saying eat, eat!  Not now.  Hopefully in time the concentration will be there. Some headaches."


"I am male, white, 92 years old,  very healthy, little exercize. Have  had RLS  for ~30 years  when  sedentary - reading, TV,  trying to go to sleep.
Six weeks ago  our GP  Rx  300mg gabapentin.  I take one in early afternoon and it has worked like a charm.  No  side effects so far."


"Works wonders! Stick with it though.

The first time I went on it, my face was pretty clear since I had just come off birth control so I had no "purging" experience. It kept my face completely clear and even cleared up some fine lines! Unfortunately, my insurance stopped covering it for a bit. My skin was ok for the first few weeks off it and then I suddenly had massive cysts. My insurance changed again and they now cover it!

Second round: definitely some purging, definitely a lot of flaking, but skin is getting back to where it was. Stick with it. The stuff really works but you have to give it time!"


"I'm 44 years old. Felt tired, looked tired and ached in my back, knees and feet a lot. I was obese and had been for many years. I'm 5'5. Started taking Qsymia May 6th. Weighed 212. By June 2 my weight was 200. Felt good. Drank lots of water, ate more protein and walked a couple miles daily.  Side effects I had only in June were tingling fingers. Another short lived side effect is constipation, but adding fresh veggies and fiber does the trick people. I also felt annoyed a bit more, but again life and people can get very annoying, so find something to de-stress; i.e exercise. Now it is nearing the end of September, and I am still employed, married and sane and I'm at 175 and feel great!"


"Had hep-c since early 70s and cirrhosis for the last 20 yrs. Tried interferon and riboviron which   had to stop treatments due to side effects that was terrible. Got on transplant list in Oct of 2014 and received a new liver on 19 Dec 2014. I was really blessed. Hep-c  was on a mission to destroy new liver but after 4 weeks of harvoni virus is undetectable .  Another blessing. Am still on treatments for 8 more weeks but 0 side effects so no problem."


"I have been on 40 mg for 2 months and 3 weeks.  No improvement at all.  In fact, I think the bumps and pustules are spreading.  It took a while to get over the nausea but eventually it went away."


"I first had the implant put in last year and the procedure itself is not that bad. I don't like needles but the nurse put me at ease. Anyway I wasn't bleeding but was suffering with severe cramps most of the time and my boyfriend was very concerned so I went back on the pill and couldn't seem to settle, so went back to family planning where I was told the implant had been improved so I opted to try it again. I must admit I get the odd bit of spotting and stomach cramps which can be painful, but I now wonder if this is an age thing that as you get older you can suffer more as I definitely wasn't like this in my early 20s. Am now in my late 30s. "


"I am 74 yrs old and have polycythemia vera (PV) since I was 62. Was on Hydrea and phlobotomy every 3 mos. Was seriously very depressed and low energies. On Jakavi since May-2016 and no more phlobotomy. Now taking Jakavi 25mg twice a day. My life is back and feels like not having PV. Med is expensive at 25mg because I need 20+5 mg. Cost is doubled because they don't make 25mg pills!"


"It works but with headache and back pain."


"Gives you a calm feeling of peace and tranquility, takes the edge off any anxiety and makes you extremely calm. I love it."


"Worked great for me, some pain but when I was done my face was like a baby's butt. Stay home for 30 days"


"I have been on birth control for about 15 years (I dont want kids and can't get permanent birth control because I have never had kids). Anyways...My pills I been taking for years got switched to tri-previfem two months ago and I was told by the pharmacist it was exactly the same as my old pills. The first month my breast swelled so much and hurt so bad...that lasted a few days. I also got really bad cramps..like nothing I have felt before (remind you, I have been on birth control for about 15 years). This month I noticed acne on my chin and cheek...I am 34 years old and never had more than one occasional pimple at a time on my face in my life. I will not be taking this pill any longer...hope this helps anyone looking to try it."


"QNASL CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!  I had been on allergy shots, and prescribed all the nasal sprays/allergy pills on the market as I had suffered with severe nasal allergies since the mid 80's.  I was prescribed Qnasl spring 2015 and have had no incidence of nasal allergies since.  The only side effect is the medicine will burn your nose the first couple of times you use it.  The aforementioned temporary discomfort is worth it for the relief of not having to constantly blow your nose and take facial tissue with you everywhere you go.  Ask your allergist/doctor for Qnasl today!!!"


"The first pack my doctor wanted me to stop after the first month to try to see what effect the medicine would have with my period and to only continue if there was no abnormalities. I followed her instructions and toward the last 2 weeks of the 3rd set, I started seeing some "color" that led to spotting. And my period took a while to start during the yellow pills, but was short and light.  Now that I am on the 2nd pack toward the end, just about a week ago, I started spotting again. But this time it's heavier/more constant. Rarely worth a pantyliner or anything at all, just really annoying because I don't know if it will get heavier at any moment, stop, or stick around until the "real" period comes. And will it get worse for the next pack?"
