"I have suffered from migraines since age 15. I have taken topamax since 2007. The first 2 weeks I lost 15 lbs, and it was very scary so I stopped. I've always been very active and ate well because I suffer from hypertension so the weigh was easy to manage. But now at age 34, and off the meds for 3 months and 20lns heavier I'm back taking 100mg a day. After only being on them for 8 hrs I feel the immediate effects. I'm back in the gym and my migraine went away in one hour. I won't neglect my health again. Stay healthy everyone!"


"Works better than Concerta for ADHD-IA for attentiveness as well as alertness. Far superior to Concerta in regards to affecting sleep. Vyvanse doesn't keep you awake. Also seems to contrast greatly to Concerta's method of dealing with attentiveness. Makes a less "zombie-like" state of concentration and lets you break task when needed. An added effect is that of a more positive sense of well-being; most likely attributed to its amphetamine-based nature.

The greatest advantage is the delayed release into the body. Great for those whose metabolisms don't react well to Adderall XR or Concerta. Only wished it lasted about two hours longer in the body, but adapting dose time is acceptable."


"I was traveling and started having dry, allergy-related cough. Trying to suppress it long enough to give a presentation and Delsym worked perfectly. But as others noted, started to have diarrhea. I didn't connect it right away to Delsym, because when traveling everything is disrupted. Now home, everything had mostly cleared up and took the last dose last night, and sure enough diarrhea back today. I take no other meds."


"I've had Crohn's disease since 05' and I struggled through high school with flares, pain, and just off balanced white blood cell count.  My doctor put me on Remicade when I was a junior. And a few days after I could barely walk, my legs were killing me, but to be it was worth it because I had somewhat of my life back. The summer I graduated we decided it would be easy to switch to Humira since I was going off to college.  It's my senior year and this summer will be my fourth year on Humira and I'm actually just having my first flare since starting Humira. They say they don't work forever but I at least got 3 and a half years out of it. Plus Humira helped pay for the cost of the medication"


"Been on movantik for one week. I have had one bowel movement the first day. Now can't go and feel horrible. Can I supplement dulcolax pills or just suppository? I'm miserable."


"A year ago my doctor prescribed Doxine (doxycycline) and I found that after about 2 weeks of taking a tablet a day and increasing my usual water consumption, my skin started getting better and much more clear. A relief after struggling with mid-teen acne. Eventually my skin was fine (3 months after starting) and I stopped, thinking that it was now my body and not the medicine that was healing my skin. But soon afterwards my acne started appearing once more, and so I began taking doxycycline again about 2 months ago. It's been great and I've really got my confidence back as my skin naturally is quite oily and acne prone. Note that while taking the medicine it is still common to get a tiny pimple or two sometimes as the drying process of the skin isn't so intense on this medication. My only side effects were my increased desire for water and a slight aversion to strong sunlight."


"Have been on cymbalta for a little over 3 months. It has changed my life for the better. My anxiety had gotten to the point that I was hiding in the restroom at work during episodes almost everyday. I am able to communicate what I am thinking more clearly. I don't break out in a sweat if something isn't going the way I think it should. I feel like myself before the panic/anxiety attacks started several years ago. I was dieting when I started taking cymbalta and lost more weight than I had been averaging. Didn't have as much appetite as usual, which wasn't a bad thing. The irritability is gone and I am a lot more pleasant to be around. I am me again."


"I was on Nuvaring for one year and LOVED it! At the time, I was unable to take pills (a pure mental block, not a medical reason) so this was essentially my only option. The only reason I'm about to switch to the pill is that telling a guy to be alert that something is in me is awkward. I never really noticed before, the correlation between starting the ring and the increase in discharge, but looking back it was totally the cause. It had been getting progressively worse (aka more), so that sped up my decision to switch to the pill. No pregnancies, or even scares. "


"Holding off having hip replaced due to money. Tried OTC/ NSAIDs, finally broke down, went to clinic, prescribed prednisone, excellent results, still some pain, but not nearly as severe, lowered the dose from 40mg to 20mg per day, still effective, no side effects beside increased appetite."


"I am 30 and I have been taking Sprintec for about 11 months now, started taking it after the birth of my 4th child. Cheapest birth control ever! I have not had any problems with acne, abnormal cramping, lack of sex drive, or anything else. The last 3 months I have noticed headaches about the week before my period started but I figured this is due to getting older. Blood flow and period length is the same as it has always been on other birth controls. I know the exact day I will start and stop and am totally prepared."


"Hi it's Reea again I wanted to update you guys on my progress thus far with this medication. Like I said in my previous post I started using it on September 4th 2015 weighting 230lbs and 3 days later I am weighing 222.8lbs. I still have a lot of my appetite so I have been making a conscious effort not to eat a lot and to make healthy choices so that has been a bit of a struggle. I am very hopeful with this medication but I planned to ask my doctor writhin the next week to increase my dose so the cravings can be under control do I wouldn't have such a struggle."


"I love this medication! I have been on it for about a year and it has made my life so much better.  I had been living with severe anxiety and depression.  After starting lexapro, I had some side effects such as the weird dreams, nausea, dizziness, and increased anxiety.  After 2 weeks, I started to feel so much better!  I now have less anxiety and I have not had a panic attack in 6 months! It is amazing how great I feel.  Finally, I can live my life like a normal 24 year old!  My advice to anyone who is on this medicine is to stay on it!  It is worth it!"


"I have been on Lamictal for about two months. Yes, I have some side effects dry mouth, double vision sometimes when I blink it goes away, joint and muscle pain and now I think acne. I take 300mg during the day. 200mg at night. I also take gabapentin for muscle aches and joint pain which really helps! I also take Klonopin when necessary I am prescribed for half twice a day and one at night but don't need it. I have a ton of energy and lost weight food no longer is my priority. I exercise daily and feel fantastic! I do have anger issues I have always has that. I am in therapy also. I think and feel like a different person so the side effects far outweigh going off medicine! Good luck."


"I have been on Contrave since Nov 24, 2015. The first week the only symptom I noticed was dry mouth. I have not weighed myself yet. Although I have already started the medication, I'm not so much focused on the pounds lost than I am with controlling my eating/smoking habits. I start going to the gym next week so I am very excited that this medicine will help me quit smoking and in turn get me motivated to working out and losing the weight. I have noticed I have not been as hungry and I'm drinking more water. I am now up to 2 pills a day and have only noticed a slight headache along with dry mouth, but I will remain positive."


"This medicine gives me highs and lows. Doesn't work well with anxiety, helped depression but if you are anxious this medicine may not work well for you."


"Always take this pain pills is the ONLY ONE works for me and I visited to many doctors office and change medication but always back to advil because is more safe to take this compare to the doctor prescription."


"I had a tubual pregnancy in 1984. Never even had stitches in my life before that.  There was alot of pain. I was so thankful for  demerol , believe me !  The nurse gave injection around hip ,butt area and it made me so relaxed and out of pain that I could sleep.  Thankful for that drug."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is my 4th colonoscopy/bowel prep:  First dose and fluids went down ok despite some nausea.   Second dose made it down followed by some water.  But 20 minutes later when sitting on the throne the nausea welled up and I started vomiting.  Did manage to catch some in the waste basket next to me.   Dr. did not complain about my preparation so I think it was fairly good despite losing most of the second dose.    However the Prepopik I took for a previous prep was much easier on me and was also deemed a good clean prep."


"I was very nervous to take Soma after doing some research on it. I decided to take it after being in terrible pain, I was surprised that when I woke up in the morning I could function with little pain. I decided to take 1/2 a pill instead at night and I have had great results.  Soma works better than the narcotics do especially at night. If they could just make it non-drowsy it would be the perfect medicine."


"I've been on this for 17 days it hasn't helped at all with the smoking yet."


"After breaking my nose, this is the only medicine that took away all the pain. "


"I had to take this pill 4 months ago because the condom broke but I didn't have a good experience. After we found out everything, we went to Walgreens and purchased the pill - pretty expensive for just one pill. I took it 10 mins later (after sex) then fell asleep. A couple days later I experienced the worst abdominal pain and nausea, basically almost all the side effects listed except for vomiting. But hey it worked! I didn't get pregnant."


"I have had SVTs for about 18 years and was switched from Calan SR to this drug.  I had no issues for about 4 years until recently when I was told that Cartia had been discontinued.  Now I am on Diltiazem for 3 months and have already had 2 episodes in a month.  I am going to try my hardest to get back on Cartia"


"I was given this after trying several other meds. My doctor gave me 2 mg bars. The yellow ones (generic) aren't bad and the white one isn't either, but them green ones will wipe you out. They are at least 40% stronger despite being the same strength. The use to be very expensive, but are only $5.56 for a 60 pill supply with my insurance ( which is bootleg Obama care)."


"I had Implanon placed at the beginning of 2010 and do not regret it. I actually plan on having my implant replaced very soon. Like with any other form of contraception there will be side effects, for myself losing weight has become a little more difficult than before inserting the Implanon but it has not become impossible, its only impossible if you stop trying. At the beginning periods were a little difficult to predict but after 6 months or so they began to become more regular. I highly recommend this form of birth control if you are looking for a long term contraception. My boyfriend and I are very happy that for the past 3 years we never had the "scare" with implant we were always sure we will be fine."


"Potent medication.  What makes this medicine so useful for panic/bad anxiety is that you can dissolve it under your tongue in case you need to get the anti-anxiety/panic effect quickly.  It tastes "sugary".  A tip my doctor told me about. Same for Klonopin. Very effective medicine."


"Don't ever take Reglan. It is an old school antipsychotic that was given to severely ill patients such as schizophrenics. It's like Haldol. It blocks dopamine receptors and can cause movement disorders. These uneducated, idiot doctors that hand these out for headaches and stomache conditions, should lose their licenses. It's disgusting. NEVER take them.."


"Best medicine I've used to treat this particular infection. Amoxicillin and Bactrim aren't as effective for me."


"I've learned to 'live' with headaches; often lasting up to four days or more. I was prescribed Fioricet about two years ago and I find it to be a relief not to have to 'live' with a headache for days anymore. I'm careful about using it and often as a last resort after trying Advil and the like. Therefore I don't find it habit forming for me. It is an absolute relief drug."


"cymbalta has enabled me to come off tramadol for back pain, I don't urinate frequently from anxiety, I sleep better and feel 20 years younger. I guess I was depressed and didn't know it. Best med I have ever taken."


"This did nothing to help my fibromyalgia."


"Ambien has been a huge help to me. I have horrible hot flashes whenever I try to fall asleep and end up awake all night. When I take half an Ambien I am able to fall asleep and I do not feel tired or out of it the next day. I am so grateful for this medication. It's helped the quality of my life substantially. I've never experienced the side effects others mention, I simply fall asleep."


"Didn't trigger my regular migraines, great birth control to start on and it's effective! Lo made me breakthrough bleed so I started on regular 28 cycle and no problems, until I went off of it. I started birth control at 115 pounds and ended it at 132 pounds. Though I am petite, it's not a huge weight gain nor is it noticeable. My acne and oily skin came back, and I am very irritable(PMS). Cramping on my period is very painful so I'll be going back on birth control, this time trying Seasonique."


"The side effect have taken over"


"Was on it 2 years.  Experienced constant yeast infections, sinusitis  and brain fog so bad I couldn't figure my way out of a paper bag.  Stopped taking it and the yeast infection and brain fog went away. I am still dealing with sinusitis.  Within a week of stopping my legs, arms and hands swelled. Invokana is BAD news."


"I started taking Bactrim on a Tuesday. By Wednesday I was depressed and had terrible knots in my stomach. I was going to bathroom almost every hours and had hives all day and night. Thursday, I felt a lot better and my symptoms were mostly relieved as well. I thought it worth the hives and frequent bathroom breaks. On Friday my lips, gums, tongue and face were all swollen. I didn't think it was the medication at all. Doc's nurse called to tell me that my culture came back and that they are switching my medicine.

When I changed the medicine on Saturday I had sores in my mouth along with the swollen gums. I made a dental appointment thinking that it is due to an immunization problem, by Sunday I called my doctor and learnt that I developed allergies."


"I got mine put in after my pregnancy in June 2010. Afterwards, I did get hemorrhoids, but I am unsure if it was due to pregnancy or the Implanon. Also, I am very snappy. I get angry in an instance when usually I am quiet, but now I let it all out. I never got rid of my pregnant weight which is weird because I eat healthy and portioning. I do not have the strength to exercise. I always take a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day if not I'm drinking coffee. My sex drive did decrease, but it has gotten better after 1 1/2 years.
Good news: My period is very light just need panty liners or light tampons (the 1st 2 days).
"


"This is the first pack for Trinessa. I was on Ortho Tri Cyclin Orange since my 6 week appointment after I had my 3rd baby, (so about July is when my appt. was) and my insurance just now made me switch to Trinessa. I don't think I like it. Since taking it, I have constantly felt like I got a lump in my throat and my diaphragm area and decreased my appetite, so I'd put that in the nausea category. I just don't know if I should just wait it out, or call my OB office and ask them for something different or what. I mean I'm only going to be on this til like Dec. or Jan., because me and my fiance would like 1 more, and wanted to wait til our baby is at least 18 months before we tried again. Then after that baby is born, I'm going on the Depo."


"Hello all,
I used this product and I must admit moments later after I was finished with inserting the egg and applying the cream an extreme painful burning sensation came. It was soo painful and the tighter I closed my legs to "try" to alleviate some of that pain the more it burned like hell. I remember Benadryl helps with bad itching, rashes, etc. I took a Benadryl and about 15-20 mins later the burning sensation was no more and I was able to get a good nights sleep. So, I think Benadryl will help some of you if you are able to take it. If not I would try some other antihistamine that will get rid of that bad burning feeling."


"Zyban is amazing! Istarted taking Zyban 18 days ago, though it took me longer than what it said it take to quit, I finally quit 4 days ago, and I feel great.  I tried Champix and had a bad reaction to it, the patches the same.  I also have quit cold turkey.  But with Zyban, there is no urge, or cravings.  The only time I think about having a cigarette is when I have idle time, but I have found ways to keep myself buusy doing other things.  Thanks to Zyban- it's a great medication that really works!"


"I absolutely love it! I've had it for 2 yrs only got my period once a few weeks after I got the Implanon and never got a period again. No mood swings, gained a little weight but I don't think it all has to do with the Implanon. No side effects at all. It all depends on how your body reacts to it, I was reading some reviews where they have been bleeding for ever....if that would have been me I would of removed it already."


"I have tried every ADHD drug medication available, both brand and generic (Ritalin XR, Ritalin IR, Adderall XR and IR, generic mixed amphetamine salts, Daytrana, Vyvanse, Strattera, some I can't even remember, if it exists, I've almost certainly tried it. ) Focalin XR is the only one that works. Naturally, that also means that insurance companies don't want to cover it. If you're trying to get it covered and they're dragging their feet, don't give up! You have to jump through a lot of hoops and you have to fight every step of the way. Get your doctor to help you and talk to them. Do NOT give up. Insurance companies love to make it as difficult as possible for people to get effective meds. Don't let them do it."


"Does the job. Lowered my cholesterol to normal levels."


"I started taking this medicine to help with carpal tunnel issues I was having. The doctor had me taking 15-30 mg a day, which I see according to this site, is more than I'm supposed to have. It helped the carpel tunnel, and has done wonders for my knee pain. It only helps mildly with my hand pain (arthritis). As far as side effects are that it has affected my bowel motions and I don't always have much warning before I need to take one."


"I have a slipped disc and they gave me toradol in the hospital and it did not help at all"


"Guaifenesin really does work. I'm a 26 year old female recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I have been to several doctors within the past several months because of the pain that Fibromyalgia has caused. Out of all the potentially harmful meds I've been prescribed, this is the only medication that has actually helped and to this day continues to help. I have used Mucinex for over a month without any side effects. It has also helped with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, acid reflux. I would highly recommend this to anyone suffering from a terrible disease such as Fibromyalgia."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / magnesium salicylate

"This is the ONLY over the counter pain reliever that works for me.  I have given it to friends and they were amazed by the relief they felt from this product.  I only wish that it was not so hard to find. "


"I've been addicted to painkillers of all kinds since 1998 when I first hurt my back.  I would use up my prescription and then begin to steal them off of my husband who also took them. I then would buy them and spending an amazing amount on them it sickens me to think about how much.  I started Suboxone 3 days ago and feel amazing no withdrawal and no cravings. I would recommend to anyone with an opiate addiction."


"I was prescribed Microgestin FE 1/20 after finding out my insurance didn't cover Loloestrin Fe 1/20. Thought I'd give it a try since my provider said it's similar to loloestrin, however it has a higher dose of estrogen, and she suggested that no other BC will have lower estrogen than loloestrin. Paying for it out of pocket would be about $120 a month. I was on Microgestin for 2 weeks. I know that's not long enough but it was long enough for me! My breasts were way sensitive and tender to the point that laying on my side felt uncomfortable and the reason why I decided to stop it all together was because sex was painful! My vagina was so dry that although I wanted to have sex, my parts weren't working with me! LOL."


"I used Ziana for over 4 months and saw zero results. It also made my skin incredibly oily. I lost hope in the product.."


"Does not lower my blood pressure as much as Lisinopril, and does not last as long either. With the Nitrate I get about 12 hours of normal blood pressure but with lisinopril it works good for 24 hours.  Warning to people on Nitrates in case you don't know it; do not take Viagra it will lower your pressure so low your heart may stop.  I have found that taking my Lyrica lowers my blood pressure in combination with the nitrate also.  One Lyrica is ok for me but It does contraindicate with nitrates. I have found the best drug to deal with the headaches is Tramadol which is also known as Ultram."


"I started the medication for smoking and anxiety about 3 weeks ago.  The initial side effects are very intense.  I had an intense headache every day for a week and a half but it did go away.  I also had an uncontrollable head tremor and very intense nightmares, both have gone away as well.   The medication has yet to curb my urge to smoke.  When I get anxiety the physical symptoms are very intense, rapid heart rate and breathing, extreme headache and stomach upset.  On the positive side I no longer feel like I don't want to live my life.   I am going to give the medication the time to take full effect and see how it goes.  If the anxiety symptoms don't improve, I will most likely stop after the full 6 weeks that is recommended."


"I started using it on 02/02/09 on my b/day, not even a week ago. I feel pain free, first time in a very long time."


"I'm a 16 year old female. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, anorexia and bulimia about 2 years ago. I attempted suicide 3 times and I really thought there was no hope. Zoloft did nothing for me. It was awful. But then along came Celexa and its awesome. I no longer wake up and feel like I'm drowning and my lungs are going to explode. I can get up out of bed and not hate everything. I can go about my day without worrying about every little thing. I no longer get panic attacks. It's awesome. I have lost weight too. I totally recommend Celexa, best things I've ever tried. "


"Clonazepam is the only medicine that will take away a seizure or cluster of seizures within 15 minutes.  I have tried a variety-a large variety of other medications but unfortunately none of them had worked. "


"This is really working for me. I am taking 24 mgs. once a day. I have had no side effects at all."


"I hadn't taken another bc pill for a year or longer before stopping to get pregnant with my daughter. Had my daughter, took sprintec for about 3 month and almost died from a pulmonary embolism. The clot was confirmed to come from this birth control as I was only 19 years old, with no medicinal problems! I highly suggest a non hormonal type of birth control."


"I have suffered with acne on my back and chest area for around 14 years. I have been on numerous antibiotics, including trimethoprim (which I had an allergic reaction to). I was on the pill from aged 17-27. Now I am 28 and still suffering severe cystic 'backny'.

After many tablets, ointments, creams, solutions and treatments, my dermatologist decided to start me on 20mg per day. I will be on 20mg for one month, at which point, I will increase to 40mg every other day.

Results: I have been on isotretinoin for 10 days. I saw positive results after two days. My chest is clear of all spots. There is one cyst on the mend. My back is showing signs of clearing but very slowly. So far, I am happy. I will post again in a month or so. :)"


"I suffer from recurring urinary tract infections and I take Macrobid daily, it works great for me."


"I am currently taking this medicine for the treatment of BV. I have not experienced any of the side effects from the pill, but it's just not working for me.  I'm on day 5 of taking it and my symptoms have only increased.  The itching is unbearable, especially in the evenings and at night.  It actually woke me up at 3am.  The discharge is even worse than I when I started.  I have never had the fishy smell, so I didn't need that to disappear.  The pill tastes gross but I haven't had any nausea from it.  I called by obgyn on day 4 and the nurse said sometimes symptoms get worse before it gets better but I haven't seen any other reviews that support that.  I was really hoping they'd give me a different prescription but they said wait it out. :("


"Best taken in the morning. Helps deal with hormone cycling."


"Severe dermatitis cured in 1 week!"


"This is my third month using Nuva ring. I'm on the three week cycle. It's very convenient, I don't have a consistent work schedule so I never have to worry about missing the pill. HOWEVER, this thing makes me sweat SO bad at night, I keep my bedroom in the mid 60's while my side of the bed is closest to the vent and I sleep nude. I will shower the night before and wake up covered in sweat and smell terrible! And that has NEVER been the case. I've been a very competitive athlete all my life and even in my sweatiest games I never had BO. I've also noticed extreme mood swings that third week it's in. Intense vaginal irritation to say the very least and no change to my acne, it's been bad for as long as I can remember."


"For me, lexapro stopped the negative thinking. It slowed it all down, the suicidal thoughts, the rumination, the negative was gone. I was on 5mg, decided I didn't want to be on it. I wanted to face my fears, my tears, my sadness, my negative, etc. I wanted to control it, not have lexapro control it. It covers up underlying issues that need to be dealt with constructively. I've been tapering off, I'm down to 1mg, maybe less. I'm learning to deal with thoughts, the few that have come back by praying, breathing and relaxing. Opening up to people about my fears, my negative thinking, letting others guide me into positive thinking has helped tremendously. Take the meds, but work towards resolving the underlying problem and coming off of lexapro."


"I took Yaz prior to my second pregnancy and absolutely loved it. No side effects so I decided to go ahead and start back on it after I was done breastfeeding my second child.  I have some other health conditions, so it has taken me 6 months to link the side effects to the pill.  I have had horrible headaches that would grow into migraines, which is not good especially with a 3 yr old and 1 yr old.  I am beyond tired, I can sleep 20 hours a day if I didn't have children.  I am beyond moody and irritable which has had a huge impact on my relationship with my husband, children, family and friends.  I have not had a major decrease in sex drive, but have had a dramatic change in vaginal dryness that would make times unbearable.  "


"My first month on this pill, I've had the most horrible cramps I've had in my life. Hands down. This also made my period WAY heavier. I bled through tampons, and a maxi pad at the same time. Given the fact that I got on this birth control to get rid of my periods, this was crazy. I know it will take up to 3 months for my body to get used to these hormones, but this experience overall has just been horrible."


"I was given silenor 3 mg at start to help me stay asleep and also to help with my anxiety and very mild depression... The doxepin in this medication is an anti depressant... My first try of it I felt drunk when I woke up at 3 am and I passed right back to sleep... I noticed within a week I felt a bit more happier and my anxiety has lessened... I feel more happier as well... So the doctor is keeping me on them for a while... It has been almost a year taking silenor... There was a slight weight gain over that period of time 10 lbs over the whole 10 months. I didn't take an entire week of the pills a few months back and boy did I notice.... They say non addictive but I felt sad and depressed... Right back where I was before taking them."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for over two years, it worked great in the beginning. I currently take 90mg a day, 60 in the morning and 30 at bedtime. The last few months it does not seem to be working. I have tried several other medications before this one and none of them worked. There are days (most) that I hurt so bad I can't stand to move."


"I was prescribed macrobid for a 3 day course, 2 doses a day. The first day I seemed to be getting better, but then I woke up at 4:15am the morning of the second day with chest pains. Throughout the day I suffered from headaches, chest pains, muscle and joint aches, nausea, dizziness, fever and chills. Now on the third day, and though I'm not feeling as ill anymore, I'm still dealing with chest, back and stomach pains. Can't even tell if treating the UTI because I've been in so much pain. Worst experience I've ever had with antibiotics - would definitely never use macrobid again!"


"My experiences are similar to many of the ones in this list. I can only add that the weight gain issue and perceived hunger is intense. Even eating without hunger is new for me. My pain is better than anytime in the past. My other feelings are still overwhelming...back issues, slight depression, but low energy is still a part of my feelings right now. I add pain medications as needed, and I take Ambien CR nightly. I sometime get plenty of sleep and sometimes no sleep until almost dawn. All of this seems small in comparison with my previous pain. So, all in all, Savella is a life saver for me right now. I will continue its usage."


"This medicine at the dosage I'm taking (7.5 mg) doesn't work for me. I finally get to sleep 2-3 hours after taking it and then I feel like I'm in a daze the next day."


"Overall, I have had a very positive experience with this medication. It is a little pricey though. It has helped me look good when I need to."


"Great for Insomnia and depression. Works wonder for me."


"I have been on TRILIPIX for ten (10)  weeks.  Two weeks ago I woke up with a dizziness, seizure, the likes of which I have never experienced.  It has altered my inner ear significantly.  It is most seriously when in bed, and turning to either side in my sleep pattern, that I fell the room is  circulating and hovering.  I have to go back to Tricor."


"Since I started taking Viibryd I have been happy and have had energy to do things again. My Dr gave me some samples of the starter box that started out at 10 MG for the first week. Then increased to 20 MG on the second week. I've been on 20 mgs for two months and I feel better than I've felt in years.  Before I started taking it I always felt down and out and always wanted to lay around on the couch. The only thing that I have bad to say about it is that on the first 4 or five days my stomach stayed upset and I felt very nauseated. But after about 5 days it passed and I started feeling great!  If I could recommend this to everyone that is feeling depressed I would!  It is a wonder drug to me!"


"I just had all four wisdom teeth pulled out. I was put on ibuprofen 800 mg and it did not do crap for the pain. Went back to dentist and was put on vicoprofen. I do admit it works great for the pain but only for 4 hours. 1 hour after I would take the pill, I would vomit like clock work. It also left me feeling sick all day and very very tired! After getting sick, I would fall asleep for a few hours. I dont know whats worse, being in pain with the 800 mgs of ibuprofen or being sick all day on the vicoprofen :("


"Do not use this if you suffer from anxiety. This made mine way worse, I've been suffering anxiety, depression, and bad mood swings since taking this. I have had two periods each month with bad cramping."


"Right now, I am waiting for my doctor to renew my prescription so I can get my medication.  The inhaler I am currently using shows it has 122 puffs left, and its empty.  This isn't the first time I've had one of these go dry before its used up.  Now, without an inhaler, I have to hope that the doctor on Monday will send in the renewal.  Fortunately, unless the pharmacy will provide a new inhaler to compensate for the defective one, I am out the money that was paid for it.  Oh, it does work, when it has medication in it."


"I suffered from chronic panic attacks everyday didn't even want to go to the shops and was on Xanax and it helped but very short term!! The doctor got me onto this and iv never been happier so full of life and back to my happy self!! 20mg a day."


"I am 52 years old and clearly have been through the change of life. I've had no period for years. All of a sudden, I have some spotting so I go to my doctor. He does a surgical procedure to scrape the lining of my uterus and then puts me on 2, 10 mg Medroxyprogesterone a day, for 20 days. Four days after my last pill the bleeding started. I have NEVER had such a bad period in all of my 52 years of life! I have had 3 children and this is worse than the labor of all three!! I will NEVER take that medicine again!! They can do a hysterectomy and take the womb I haven't needed in decades. I can't even leave the house because when I stand up, I gush blood!! Roll over in bed, gush blood!! Not Happy!! Why didn't my doctor warn me about this?????"


"This helps me concentrate more."


"Been using this drop for the last 3 days and can honestly say that this is the 1st drop that has helped my raging allergy eyes in years ! Make sure you ask for the big bottle as my insurance company was charging me the same for the smaller bottle. Hope it works just as good as the allergy season gets worse later this year."


"This takes 6+ months, but did clear up a decades long infection."


"Been on the drug for a few months now put on 2 stone and not happy about the weight at all as always have battled with my weight. Everyone says they have noticed the difference in me but think it's just the weight that's getting me down."


"Loving it so far. Im currently on my 17th day and I'm so happy! After the first 3 days, my mom was able to notice results. I didn't trust her though because I thought she was just pumping my head up so I didn't get discouraged about non instant results. A few days later, I was asked by multiple of my coworkers if I have make up on and I proudly say NO with a huge smile. I can't believe it's working so well, I've had acne since 7th grade, I'm now 24 and this has been the only thing to work. My confidence has skyrocketed.

Only side effects I'm experiencing are extremely dry lips, neck pain, and a little restlessness. Its well worth it for the results so far!"


"I'm 40 yrs old, very active eat right but couldn't shed the pounds.  I'm 5'3 178 lbs. I started taking the medicine on Tuesday it's now Saturday and I lost 10lbs! You have to keep drinking water, make sure you eat within 45 min of taking the medicines and eat 5xs a day. You won't want to, but make sure you do. You haven't experienced any side effects except a little headache, nothing bad enough where I wanted to stop taking it. I wish I would've started this months ago!"


"I've been using it for 5 months now for atopic dermatitis and it doesn't work. Sure it makes you feel good having a prescription medicine and applying it to the infected areas, but the truth is I am no better than when I was using over the counter tar products. I've been through 8 tubes of this cream 0.5% cream and have one more refill to go. What's next?"


"This medicine is great"


"I got my Mirena inserted on Friday (11/18/2011), and so far I love it. The insertion was extremely painful! Really crampy! However, I have never had any kids, and have never been pregnant (I've heard it's easier if you've had children). I got it inserted on the first day of period because it's when the cervix is most open. Since then, I've had mild cramping and a very light period (more like spotting). I usually have heavy periods and pretty mild cramps. Today, I've barely spotted at at all, and the cramps have definitely decreased. So far I'm extremely happy I decided to get the Mirena. I will definitely post an update after I've had the Mirena for a longer period of time, but as of right now, I'm only expecting the best!"


"Have your doctor give you a real inhaler.  A doctor told me about how you get so much more medicine with this thing.  Not sure if that is incorrect or if the medicine is just ineffective, but either way, its not good."


"Received Macrobid through IV and RX to go.  Took for six days.  Felt bad the whole time. Been off for five days now.  UTI is back.  Cipro has always worked best for me.  Will call doctors office tomorrow."


"I have been using the Nuvaring for almost a year now. I noticed 5 months ago some side effects. Itchy, redness, swelling, discharge, severely uncomfortable vaginally. I have changed soaps, gone to the doctor, did creams, everything to have it go away and I really think its from the ring. I have been a bit depressed but I am not sure if it is from the ring. I am going to ask my doctor to change to the Mirena because I can no longer take the side effects."


"Late September of 2014 I began to get hormonal cystic acne around my mouth, cheeks and chin. I tried a lot of different methods before finally reaching the end of my desperation. I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed me bactrim. I have seen nothing but great results--better than I could have hoped for. I had read plenty of reviews about bactrim and read that many people started to see results within 3 months of use. I too saw major results within that time frame. Patience is the key when taking bactrim but from my experiences with it, I promise it will be what you're acne prone skin has been dreaming of!"


"I had the implanon in for the full three years and got it out because it expired and we wanted to try for a baby. I had no big issues while the implant was in but experienced an extreme amount of side effects after removal. I had severe nausea, dizziness and spells of anxiety for weeks after removal. So bad that I had to Begin a low dose birth control to counteract the imbalance that was occurring- I was out of work for an entire week and unable to function normally it got so bad at one point. I have now been on the birth control pill for almost two months so everything has subsided except the anxiety. I have never had anxiety in my life and now deal with it on a regular basis thanks to the implanon! Do not use this product!"


"I was a smoker for 45 years, one or more packs per day, and have tried to quit numerous times.  Nothing worked, not the patch, cold turkey, gum or lozenges.   With Chantix, it has been a miracle to be able to quit smoking and not even miss it.  I am currently on Day 24 of Chantix and have been totally quit smoking for 19 days!  Unbelievable.   No real urge to smoke and absolutely no withdrawal symptoms.  The only side effect of Chantix for me was a headache in the beginning (took Tylenol and it went away) and some nausea if I don’t eat before taking Chantix.  For years I have had a lot of trouble falling asleep and staying asleep.   Had a little trouble sleeping the first night on Chantix, but I have slept like a baby every night since.  No nightmares, but definitely vivid dreams.  I think that means I am sleeping deeply perhaps.  If you are ready to quit smoking and WANT to quit smoking, Chantix will work for you."


"I went yesterday to have the Skyla inserted by recommendation of my gynecologist and my Mother. I was looking for a much lower hormone dosage option, after coming off the depo shot. I was told to take 600 mg ibuprofen beforehand. The insertion and cramps afterwards were some of the worst pain I have experienced! The insertion took only 1-2 minutes, but my cervix had to be dilated with a metal instrument and it was painful! I could literally feel the Skyla being opened in my uterus, it was a VERY uncomfortable and deep pressure. Afterwards I quickly felt very intense period cramps, which lasted 3-4 hours. Today I feel much better, but I am still experiencing slight cramping. Hopefully there will be no pain in the following days!"


"This was absolutely horrible. I had a migraine at work and luckily I work for a DR office. I took one pill since that's all that's in the sample. About 10 mins later I was sweating, face was blood red, very very nauseated, felt weird, I was dizzy. I ended up having to leave work and go lay down. Here we are 12 hours later and still a migraine. I am glad to hear it works for most but I'd never take it again."


"Biggest waste of money. Don't believe all the lies put out by drug co. Very unpredictable in its delivery. Pain comes in spurts for me so something that won't do me any good for 5 hours is practically worthless to me. If I have to suffer that long for relief then I might as well not taken anything. I understand that's it's not designed for breakthrough pain but still need more predictability in a pills delivery to judge how to take it. I have very bad stomach issues as well."


"I was diagnosed with PCOS (PLOY CYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME) and my spots were horrible, on my face, back, shoulders. Since in been using duac - once every two days as told by my Gp, my confidence is returning, I don't feel the need to wear make up all the time, all I now have are some acne scars on my chin and back, which will clear up in time. I give my body a week to two weeks off at the 12 week cycle and re start as my hormones release the spots again. Don't know what I'd do without Duac!!!"


"Its worked 8/10 for my anxiety... its calmed down my anxiety significantly, but not completely. Although im not too fond of the zombie feeling... I just started it yesterday so we will see if that part goes away at any point. If by my next visit, I still feel tired all day I will be asking for something else."


"I have tried about a dozen other meds in my quest to replace drixoral without success. "


"As a 18 y/o never been pregnant. Based on my experience it's definitely not just for older women or women who've had kids. I took some ibuprofen before the procedure and my doctor injected a numbing agent into my cervix which I think made a difference in terms of pain. Insertion felt like a dull cramp, as if my uterus was being tugged. I'd say a 2-3 in terms of pain, it was just uncomfortable. Cramps for 2 days after then nothing. Bled steadily for a month after insertion, then a month of nothing, and then a month of spotting on and off but since then only occasional spotting. Periods are a bit heavier than before and only slightly crampy, I never had cramps before the IUD. No complaints about strings during intercourse. (IUD model: Libert"


"I took this medicine off and on for years. And I can honestly say it has helped my migraines tremendously. I suffer from migraines with the aura, and while off Topamax  they come in weekly clusters. About once every couple of months I will have a week from hell. On Topamax I have one attack every couple of months. BUT, the side effects are unbearable."


"I spent 3 years of my life on Oxy's. I was stealing money from banks to keep my habit up. It cost me 2 years in prison and I still wanted more so I started using heroin. Suboxone is a short fix. I stayed clean 6 months and went back for more. Methadone has saved mine and my family's life. So if you are committed to it, it
will work!"


"Without my Percocet, I couldn't have performed most of my daily functions. I had severe pain due to a herniated disc in my lower back. Usually, I take one Percocet at bedtime with one or two Flexiril (muscle relaxers) in order to sleep without being awakened by pain. In between (i.e., while I'm at work), I use Tramadol with Soma to manage the pain of sitting at a PC all day."


"I have never left a review for any kind of drug or medication before but felt that I needed to for Yasmin in case there were other people in my situation. I am 21 and have had quite mild acne since I was about fifteen, however, around four months ago (after two years using implanon as contraception) I experienced a terrible breakout. I used every topical I could think of and was borderline suicidal over the state of my skin before my doctor mentioned the implanon can often contribute to bad hormonal acne. I got it taken out that same day and started on Yasmin, and within less than two months I have no active acne whatsoever and am focusing on healing my scarring. This pill has been a godsend for me."


"I also have taken Evoxac for years. I first asked my opthomologist to prescribe pilocarpine.  He would not, telling me to see an ENT physcian for this, as he felt there were to many side effects for this type of drug.
I did get a Rx for the pilocarpine and then switched to Evoxac.  At first I could not perceive a benefit of this drug, but now I can tell when my dose (every eight hours) has worn off.
Also, I do not think that I have suffered any side effects from this drug."


"This was amazing! I had my first UTI this morning I had frequency and irritation after I urinated. I took Bactrum about an hour ago and I'm was in so much pain until a couple minutes age when the medicine kicked in! I feel so much relief and I have less urge to go! UTIs are terrible and I'm so sorry for everyone who has gotten one but I'm also glad that there is medication to treat it and that it works this fast!!!"


"Got a big rash on my abdomen, that got increasingly painful and itchy. An allergic reaction to the medication (I wasn't taking anything else at the time)

This was a shame! Because the medication  had a substantial effect on my social anxiety. The first few days I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster, but then I started to really enjoy social interaction, I could understand why people talked to other people for fun!
Only ended up taking it for a little over a week, but wanted to share my experience incase anyone else is experiencing a rash."


"Have been taking Lyrica for nearly two years to treat my Trigeminal Neuralgia.  I have been attack free since starting on the medication.  I look at Lyrica as a life savior for me."


"I took 3 week course of Cipro for prostatitis.  At first, I felt much better but as the treatment continued the symptoms seemed to return.  "


"I have been taking Viibryd for two week, starting with the 10mg dose then 20mg. I had always struggled with small bouts of depression and anxiety but have always tried to deal with it on my own. Now that I am working 60 hours a week, I knew I needed some help. After the first couple of days of taking this drug, I noticed a significant difference. Situations are so much easier to deal with and I can complete task with a clear head and with focus. I am about to start my 40mg dose. Hopefully things only get better."


"30yr old female- Today is day 6 on Wellbutrin 75mg.  Today is day 7 of cold turkey off a tramadol habit as well.  Wellbutrin is certainly helping with the withdrawal of tramadol, which is effing HORRENDOUS btw.  Wellbutrin has given me energy which is great, but I'm still incredibly moodie.  What's the next dose up for Wellbutrin?  I feel as though I could benefit from an increase for sure,"


"I have opiate induced constipation from narcotic pain killers. My doctor gave me samples of Manitoba and it worked great. I didn't have any side effects other than cramping which is to be expected with any laxative. It worked within 2 hours and continued to work throughout the rest of the day. I would definitely recommend taking this on a day u have nothing to do. It causes a little gas and stomach cramps that feel like ur gonna have diarrhea. But it definitely does the job. I also had a little nausea after taking it but it was worth it. Especially if u have been dealing with chronic constipation for awhile. Anything is better than the constant bloating and pain associated with constipation."


"I started the meds this morning. Went to gym had a pretty good workout. Felt a little lightheaded this morning while at the gym. Got home started craving water. While traveling this afternoon noticed I was getting very edgy and lot more energy and hungry. BUT I ate at 8am then gym and didn't eat when I got home so ... I was still wanting water a lot. 5 hours later I was very tired, edgy, and my husband said I was slurring my words. We ate dinner around 6 and I was fine. Not traveling again and it's 9:20 and I am so sleepy. Better mood per my husband."


"I took this for two years whilst in East Africa. Although many people told me it was not good, I found no side effects and never have suffered from Malaria. I had regular Liver function teats and no adverse symptoms were found."


"I have L4 & L5 degenerated bone to bone with spurs and stenosis. Definitive nerve damage down both legs. Doctor started me on hydrocodone 10 mg x4 plus Soma 350mg x3/day. Put me on 20/1.2 Embeda for 4 months, then upped dose to 50/2.0 mg.  Very seldom do I take Vicodin or Soma anymore. I can actually work at my job as a fabricator/machinist with little or no pain and no drowsiness or getting angry. Kind of got my life back, and I can ride the Harley with no worry of long-trip pains."


"So, I've been using that for a long time. I've not come across any side effects myself - and my mom says it has changed me in a good way. I can see that too. "


"Decent drug for nausea, but did not cure my vertigo, only the nauseated feeling you get from vertigo."


"I was diagnosed with PA in 2005..was on MTX Enbrel Humira...in 2011 I was taken off the Enbrel because I developed Basel Cell Carcinoma and was told that the BC was from the suppression of my immune system.  Now the PA came back with a vengeance in July 2015 I went to my Rheum and she told me of Otezla and started me on sample packs. She said it does not suppress the immune system so of course I was so happy.  Still as of today I am not approved by my ins co...they say I need to try Enbrel Humira and Stellara!!!!   My Dr is running out of sample pacs and I am livid now because I just got off the phone with Ins Supervisor and she said Otezla does suppress the immune system and I should be trying the other "Preferred Drugs"...HELLO????  HELP"


"I'm 24 and have sweat through the armpits of my shirts since puberty. Clinical strength/aluminum chloride products don't work. Every time I go clothing shopping, I think "will this show my sweat?" Finally, I told my dermatologist what I had tried already to reduce my underarm sweating, and she prescribed Drysol for me. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. The first day I wore a tight shirt without sweating through it, I almost cried. I am using it every night (not after showering or shaving) with very minimal irritation.

To anyone who suffers from hyperhydrosis of the underarms, I say this: thanks to Drysol, I just wore a tight gray long-sleeved shirt to a party. No sweat marks."


"I have tried a dozen different medications but none as effective as this. I tried Celebrex last year and was in so much pain after three days I went back to my Voltaren. I take 100mg twice a day that helps me work and function normally."


"I was in a clinical trial for fibromyalgia with Cymbalta.  It helped tremendously, I was in a double blind study but could definitely tell the difference in being on a minimal dose and therapeutic dose. This was in 2008 and I have taken it since with great success in improving (not eliminating) the aches and pain. Now my doctor wants to wean me off and I don't want to be off of it."


"I started Mononessa after one injection of Depo and I absolutely love this pill. My periods are so predictable in terms of heaviness and length. Cleared up my skin a lot. It's a pain to remember to take it every day but I've only ever forgotten twice in my two years. Never had a pregnancy scare on it (knock on wood) and I haven't used any other method of BC since starting it which is probably not recommended. I was nauseous for the first few months only after starting a new pack but now I never am. The only thing is, I think it negatively effects my mood and sex drive. I'm currently considering a non hormonal method to experience my natural hormones and moods for a change. It's hard to say good-bye to a BC that's been so good to me though"


"I give it an 8. I've been taking it for the last 6 to 8 years and it works so far. I have informed my doctor that I need to up my dosage and he agreed. So I take a half after about an hour after I take my regular dose and it works pretty good (that is the 10/325 mg). Most times I only have to take that half once or twice daily and sometimes I don't have to take the other half."


"I've been taking it for about 6 weeks now. We started with 5mg 3 times a day then went up to 20mg 3 times a day. I have so many different stressors in my life I was having episodes that would last a couple days at a time. Strange behavior, feeling really strange, couldn't concentrate or finish tasks, etc. So my Dr started me on effexor at first, it had terrible sexual side effects, so we went with buspiron. I haven't had any of those spells since I've been on it. I think my 3rd dose needs to be taken with dinner, for the past couple weeks I've been taking it at bed and I think its adding to my insomnia. Overall its been good."


"I want to give my experience with this drug.

I had been in and out of AA , NA, and those programs for years. I even went to rehab. Almost died in a serious accident, and still I ended up drinking again, more than before.

Nothing worked, my self will, the help of others (who eventually lost all trust in me), my involvement in groups or studying literature on sobriety - nothing worked until I got a prescription for Antabuse.

I have been able to stay sober for the longest period I have in years. And some very emotional things have come up since I've been on it that always used to drive me to drink but I was forced to face the problems head on and learn to cope in a different way. Not to say it hasnt been hard. But It's such a relief"


"It was a miracle. I'm a sophomore in college and ever since I started college I have been nervous with public speaking. It was always a hot mess. My hands would shake, my voice would tremble, I would speed through everything often missing valuable information. I took one of these about an hour before my presentation and it worked so well! I was able to look up and look at people as I spoke and I was not uncomfortable at all. It really was amazing to stand up there without my usual anxiety. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"


"I've been on the ring for a few years and love it! After I put it in I can't feel it and forget about it. I have to write on the calendar when to take it in and out because I never think of it. My libido is very low but I'm not sure if that's me or the ring. No other side effects for me. My insurance changed and I can't afford it now. So bummed to go back to the pill."


"I find that trolamine salicylate works fairly well on my shoulder pain. There is no need to buy an expensive brand name when cheap generic creams and sprays are available at big box retailers."


"I was prescribed this antibiotic having had flu like symptoms with a high fever.  Within an hour of taking it I had a horrid bitter bile taste in my mouth then felt as if I had been put on waltzer at the funfair and spun around 100 times, a terrible and restless night, the second night was slightly better and I'm about to embark on my third night, feeling extremely weak and listless - but as of this morning 36 hours later I can breathe to the bottom of my lungs for the first time in about 15 years. A tip for vile taste - slice a Granny Smith apple and nibble when needed. I'm going to try and grit my teeth and and complete the course as I had forgotten what it is like to properly fill my lungs"


"Absolutely improved my pregnancy experience by reducing my nausea and vomiting.  I was prescribed 2 tablets before bed, 1 in the morning and 1 mid day because I was extremely sick.  They always recommended it to be taken with an empty stomach. I only took 2 before bed with food (because I refuse to take any pill on an empty stomach) and it worked wonders. If I ever forgot to take them I was guaranteed a horrible day."


"I started with the starter pack, and when I went from 10 mg to 20 mg, it was a train wreck. I actually couldn't function, my entire body was like hell no... massive fatigue, cramping in the stomach, fogginess, couldn't go to work. I feel like I had 30 beers. I hope this works out for you if you are trying it, but I'm finished with this.gl"


"I am a RN and I have been taking Darvocet N-100 for several months for a herniated disc in my lower back. It is a good drug for those of you who do not want or can't take other narcotics but unfortunately it is a narcotic and like all the others it has side effects and is addictive. I take because I don't want to take Lortab and Percocet which are even more addictive than Darvocet. If you have to take it use caution and know what side effects to look for."


"I have been on Yaz for 3 years and my experience has been very positive. I have very light, short periods. I have gained no weight and have no issues with acne. Yaz has been a great experience for me, personally, and I have a lot less to worry about every month because of it."


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"I just found out about Crohn's disease. After three years of suffering this is the first time a doctor gave me a medication that actually works. I'm used to getting a GI cocktail at the ER, but to have this medicine in hand always makes me feel safe from embarrassing accidents. I'm 40 years old, and this began in 2007 at age 36. The ER doctors told me it was a virus go home, but now I know I'm not crazy. Thanks for this medicine, it's a miracle."


"After years of trying different medications sertraline has finally been the most useful and compatible one for me. If only I had found this years ago as it has lifted my depression, improved my social skills and eased my obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms (would trigger after anxiety)."


"Effectiveness.. well I was the 1% of the population to get pregnant from the IUD. I ended up in the ER because of moderate to severe abdominal pain, bloating, and bleeding. I had weird symptoms and I didn't think it was time for my period so I called my gyno and she said I was probably fine but just take a pregnancy test (I was concerned my IUD shifted). The pregnancy test was positive so we knew something was very wrong so ended up in ER with an ectopic pregnancy and a huge ovarian cyst. I had emergency surgery to remove my Fallopian tube. I had the IUD for 5 months and it was not a pleasant experience, I had cramping that was severe even months after I got it put in, to the point I was hurled over. But it may have been the cyst growing."


"Very helpful."


"When I first began on Geodon I was filled with anxiety. In fact, even though I was more or less covered for mania and depression, this was still the darkest period of my life. It went on for six months without getting better. Then I switched to Lamictal, which worked on my depression but left me "high" all the time. Small amounts of Geodon countered that, which at these low levels mostly behaved itself. It still made me either insomniac or lethargic depending on exactly what time of the evening I took it. I was anxious only a few hours in the late afternoon. Eventually I've worked my way all the way back up to 120mg a day, which has reduced my manic spells to zero. The goal now is to get off Lamictal again to improve my concentration."


"I couldn't sleep at all and that's taking 2 pills"


"Had blood pressure issue. Another drug that I was put on didnt work. Doc suggested Amlodipine which is the generic for Norvasc. First day my bp was something like 145/90. Took new med on the afternoon late, and within 2 hours it was down to 117/70. I thought that was fast because Doc said to give it a few days to start working. Second day I noticed myself becoming edgy and almost scared. Anxiety was started creeping in. Started feeling tingling infingers and feet. The third day the tingling turned to slight numbness in those areas. I also got severe headaches to the back of my head. Legs and arms felt very weak as well. Its almost day for and im having water retention. Im coming off of this drug."


"Bone on bone left shoulder along with a torn rotator cuff.  Dr. has upped my dosage to 4 X 10mg. Daily., I have been taking 5 X 10mg. Daily for the pain.  I’m 310 pound 59 year old man, so the Oxycodone lasts for about 4.0/4.5 hours before it wears off.  It certainly helps with the pain, but does not totally get rid of it.  Yes I would endorse this product for pain management.
It does give me a dry mouth along with the constipation."


"Really works fast and without any side effects.  Seems to clear up persistant and ongoing diarrhea overnight.  Taking the tiny tablets is much better than dealing with liquids."


"I am a 36 year old female. I have been on Lexapro for 4 months now, and It has definitely helped to change my life for the better.  I had crippling anxiety and depression, and finally went to the dr when it reached the point that I could not leave the house to go to work (some days) or even to the grocery store.  The first two weeks I took 10 mg/day and now I am on 20 mg/day.At first it made me sort of loopy and low sex drive but those things evened out.   I wish I would have started it sooner.  Please give this medicine a try if you have depression or anxiety."


"I used the drug for 5 days and it cleared the infection but I now feel weak, do not have a great appetite, but the vivid dreams are gone."


"Mirena, it gave me depression and very moody and short tempered.  I am getting it removed. Its just been 1 month and my husband said I don't act normal."


"I've been on the birth control patch for about seven months, and while I've never had issues with forgetting to change it, or it falling off (on the contrary it HURTS when I have to rip them off after a week) I have noticed in the last couple months that on my patch change day I become very light headed and nauseous and usually end up throwing up multiple times over the course of 4-8 hours. I generally feel nauseous, or just unwell for the next three days after as well. I always stuck it to my lower sides, switching each week, but this past week I affixed it to my arm and did find that I was less ill, but I did still throw up multiple times. For this reason I am switching methods because it is not worth it to me to be this sick this often."


"I have been using this for over 3 years now. I originally went on this pill because of heavy periods. Within 6 months of taking the pill my periods were lighter and shorter. After taking this pill for a year I now don't have periods (may be 1 or 2 times a year). I take pregnancy tests monthly to be sure. I experienced no problems with this pill."


"I have had this birth control going on 9 years now!!! Started in 2007 and hey no babies!! Some side effects nothing to concerning you. My periods can last what seems like forever but they are very light. I get the luxury of only having to use panty liners and light tampons!! Hasn't effected my sex drive at some points it seemed like it but nope having more sex then before I got it in "


"Worked wonderful to get rid of my headaches! For the first time in nine years I didn't have daily headaches. The side effects were awful though!! Ringing in the ears, dizziness, flushing, numb face/hands/arms/feet, the list goes on and on. My doctor had to wean me off of it."


"First update on my lileta since my initial post on 8/13/16. Pain has gone away totally. No cramps. Some light red blood from the uterus lining beginning to thin out. Panty liners work well for this. Cons so far- mood swings. They come out of nowhere and I can be fine one second and ready to fight strangers the next. I've become more confrontational. Pros- I've had sex once since I got the iud, it was fine, normal, no one felt anything. So far so good."


"I've had this birth control for over a month now and I love it. I bled for about four more days after insertion and haven't had a period yet. Or spotting. The doctor told me if I had prolonged bleeding that I could go to him, get some pills and the bleeding would stop. Most girls are too embarrassed about doing that. But there is something to stop the excessive bleeding."


"I gave my first shot of trulicity .75

Last Wednesday evening.  By Friday I was absolutely sick to my stomach, accompanied by nausea. Finally took nausea medication whiched helped. But later threw up. I have had severe diarrhea any time I eat something. Burping all day and Sunday I could barely get out of bed my energy was not there and my body ached. Unfortunately my 2 kids don't understand so up and out of house I went to buy a Gatorade and I actually felt better after drinking a little. I'm afraid to take my dose tomorrow cause im not sure I can deal with another week of these side effects... But they said to keep with it and your body will adjust.. any advice if this is true?"


"I use intelence with kivexa for 2 yrs now. I developed stomach pain and irritable bowel after 9  months of using it.

Less side effects than Isentress."


"I'm 20 years of age and got a copper coil 4 months ago. Instantly, I had problems with it. During the 4 months I would bleed constantly for 2 weeks with only a 2 week break in between. With my recent period I became very ill. I was bleeding extremely heavily, getting dizzy and vomiting. Once at the doctors, they removed the coil straight away and informed me that I had an infection caused by the coil. I was warned that my body may reject it, however I was not warned that I could get an infection due to this. As stated I am 20 and did not expect to hear that the infection could have caused me to be infertile if not detected as quickly as it was. It may work for others, but I had a pretty bad experience with it."


"Just had my first colonoscopy and anesthesia today Jan 24,2017 and I must say it was not bad at all.

So far I have had no side effects from the Propofol and was just a little groggy when I woke in recovery. The Propofol worked quick, within 20-30 seconds it was lights out. They did remove three polyps which were sent to the lab and I was told to have another colonoscopy in three years. Over all the Dr. said things looked fine and he was not very worried about the polyps."


"I have been on Enbrel for Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis for over 8 yrs.  In the beginning my Psoriasis was the worst but after having to be off Enbrel for 7-8 months in order to take immunizations my Psoriatic arthritis had gotten the best of me. I have been back on Enbrel now for 5 weeks of one injection of 50mg. I totally feel everything is going back to where I was. The Psoriasis is almost gone (which is great considering I was 90% covered within two months of stopping) but the arthritis is taking just a little longer. This medicine saved my life years ago. I am almost 48 and have suffered with this since I was 13."


"I'm on my 5th week now, my viral load according to my doctors at the VA Hospital, is 0, but, I have had several side effects, Sofosbuvir/Ribavirin, extreme rashes (every day) weakness, tiredness, and my hemoglobin is low (below 10) BUT, all in all, if it goes away, then, it's worth any side effect. I've been on Inteferon twice, my viral load was at 0 last time and the Hep-C came back!"


"Experienced stomach flu conditions."


"I have used Tikosyn since Jan 09 and have had an ablation in late 08. Tikosyn has worked well without any problems. I tried many other drugs with not much success."


"I've did the 7 day vaginal cream treatment. At first it felt great! but after the treatment I still feel the burning and itching sensation"


"Finally  I decided to try it and after using it twice the next day I didn't sweat but my armpits still smelt and I was afraid to put deodorant because it said not to so I didn't. The 3rd night it burned like hell and itched I washed it off and stopped. I waited two days and I started again, its itching but not burning."


"I was put on Lexapro for depression. I also had a bad case of obsessive compulsive disorder and a little anxiety. Lexapro did wonders for me. I am rarely sad anymore. My OCD is almost gone. I feel a lot better about myself. I used to be very shy and insecure because of my anxiety. But now, I'm more confident and able to talk to people without feeling so anxious and scared."


"Omg. It worked great until I had horrible side effects... it looked like I had Tourette's.. scared me so bad.  My Dr said I can never take it again.   That side effect could've stayed like that the rest of my life.  I couldnt control my arms or legs.  Weird sounds were coming from deep down in my diafram... I didnt think it was ever going to stop.. The DR tried 3 different meds to make it stop.. every muscle in my body was sore for days. Said it was a rare side effect... be careful everyone"


"I was prescribed Wellbutrin XR (150mg) for slight depression, stress and anxiety. After taking Celexa which didn't really help I wanted to try something that I thought would be "stronger". Wellbutrin did absolutely nothing for me. We upped the dose to 300mg which made no difference I was on it for about 3 months before I stopped, I was also hoping it would help me lose some weight. No Luck."


"Been taking for 3-4 years with no side effects whatsoever."


"Got my first shot May 17, 2015 it didnt seem to make me feel funny etc. In early July I had my first period, the cramps were so bad I left work early. August 14, 2015 I started my period. August 18th i got my shot, still bleeding to this day. Its been almost 3 months and I am still bleeding. It sucks. My sex drive is completely gone. No wonder its effective, constsntly bleeding and guys disgust you lol. I do not recommend this product, but each woman is different. I'm also going to try Mirena if the bleeding ever stops."


"For the past 9 months I have had a mixed major depressive/anxiety episode. I have started therapy from the beginning of the episode which helped me cope for a while but it was going nowhere.Finally went to see a psychiatrist last week and was put on 50mg Zoloft. Don't know if it's placebo or not but I'm already starting to feel better. My anxiety level has gone down and I'm feeling more clear minded , level headed and hopeful. The first days 4 were hell because it was making me nauseated , bloated and extremely tired and restless at the same time.On day 7 now , and I'm feeling great."


"I started phentermine capsules end of August 2016 weight was about 197-199lbs starting out. I tried to lose weight for 2 years I had never been this heavy & felt miserable everyday cut out pop was drinking only water & attempted to diet with no success. Tried the tablets before 37.5 mg gained 10lbs so this time my primary doctor called in capsules to the pharmacy, within the first week I lost around 7lbs which I'm sure was water weight. First month I lost 25lbs give or take then the 2nd month I didn't lose so I went off of them for 2 weeks started again lost a couple more lbs. I am now 165lbs Feb. 2017 I haven't lost since but I have maintained. I also never exercised. 500 calories the first 3 weeks on them with breaks here & there."


"I've taken this before but some reason this time I'm in PAIN. Burning is unbearable, I showered incerted the oval woke up 3 hours later in so much discomfort .... I have never experienced this maybe a bad batch has gotten out but this pain is just toooooo much for me.... Never ever never again..... I'm not sexually active either so I know it's just a YI but I felt better before this way better"


"Got Nexplanon in July 2015, procedure was super simple. Got a shot of lidocaine in the arm and it was over in 30s. Getting blood drawn hurts more. Had a nice bruise on my inner arm for about 10 days. My cycles are (were) unpredictable, so I had it done on a random day instead of in the middle of my period like they recommend. I had 2 weeks go by, got my period. Period lasted 2 weeks. Stopped for a week, then I spotted for 3 more weeks. Haven't had anything resembling a period in 6 mos. Mood is levelled out, the light acne I'd get on my face has been absent. No weight gain, but I do work out almost daily. No sensory irritation. Sex drive hasn't changed. Don't let the other reviews scare you. Try letting your body adjust before removal. 10/10"


"Only on day 6 but I am super happy I decided to do this. I don't even take advil so I was a bit concerned with Chantix. If anything, I expected all the terrible reviews on other sites to cause more side effects than the actual drug. I just stopped reading them and went with my gut.

Day 6 of taking Chantix; 2nd day without smoking (my quit date isn't til tomorrow). Been a smoker for 15 years. I'm happy to say; so far I can't even tell that I'm taking medication. No effects or side effect that I am aware of. Yet; somehow I haven't smoke in 36 hours and I'm not craving one at all. I'll report back after another week or two; or if anything changes.

As for dreams,  Usually I have lucid dreams or night terrors nightly. Not one yet on Chantix!"


"I tried everything, including every med available, kegel exercises, diet modification to eliminate acids, accupuncture. Nothing helped. Finally asked for testing to determine what to be treated and it was spasms completely! TVT was perfect, mesh intact. Was leary of Botox but desperate to get rid of pads and soaking all the time! Doctor said would take 3 weeks; I was backed to normal within 3 days! No pads, no frequency, no urges, no complications at all with bladder emptying. I feel like the poster lady for it! Wonderful!! And I'm 70 years old! It's a miracle. Yes, was a bit uncomfortable getting it but took maybe 5-10 minutes and worth it! Be sure your urologist is board certified, does tons of the procedure consistently and regularly!"


"I have been on Implanon for 6 months and it was a wonderful experience. From the time of insertion, I've only had two periods. I don't get periods anymore and there's only slight discharge more often. I've had slight weight gain and a little acne problems. I have had pain at the site of insertion or my lower abdomen but nothing serious. I would recommend this for anyone looking to use birth control, I personally love the Implanon."


"I am on day 4 of my pills and I just was telling my friend how I haven't felt any side effects and how I thought some people were being over dramatic. The nausea has surfaced...and I hate the feeling where you feel like you're gonna be sick. I have also been very spacey and out of it. It definitely is working cause the odor went away after day 2! Thank god cause this shits embarrassing."


"I had no side effects. On April 13 2013 I started taking Chantix, on April 26 10:30 PM  2013 I stopped smoking."


"Does it work? Yes. Will you experience side effects? Probably.

Took the pill 36 hours after having unprotected sex. Started feeling side effects about 24 hours after taking it. Started my period 5 days later (10 days before period was supposed to start). Had absolutely horrible PMS. It made me super depressed and anxious. However, it worked. I  plan on using other forms of contraception in the future, because this past week was awful."


"55 year old female with hypertension, blood pressure generally around 160/95. Started lisinopril and experienced nausea, flushing and all over sick feeling had to stop medication after 1 day and even missed a day of work due to the side effects."


"I've been in valsartan a couple years. After gallbladder surgery my blood pressure went high 190/ 90.  Since then I have been having ups and downs. I lost 10 lbs, I had two near syncopal episodes back to back. Was monitored in ER for 12 hrs was told vasovagal episode, heart BP fine. Second time admitted all tests fineBP was ok except prior to stress test got to 200/70. 200/100. Since then had another episiode took 160mg in am by evening climbed higher and higher to 190/87. Saw PCP doesn't think it's valsartan. Yesterday took 1/2 valsartan because day before BP fine at 120/70s went shopping, by 4pm could feel it going up, took 1/4 tab waited 2?hrs took another 1/4 it kept up 16070. Took another 1/2 tab and tried to go to sleep heart beating."


"After first round of chemo with Rituxan...my lymphoma lump was completely gone to the touch.  Yes...I did have a mild reaction the first time Rituxan was administered, but it was easily resolved with a little Benadryl and a slow down of the Rituxan drip.  I did not have any allergic reaction of the subsequent two rounds of chemo.

After only three rounds of chemo, I had another PET/CT scan...and was deemed in total remission.  Almost a year later....and still no return of the lymphoma and I feel great.  It is amazing what medical science can do today to treat and cure people of cancer."


"I've been on Victoza since January 25th, 2011.  I weighed in at 170 and have lost 4 lbs within the first week.  I'm very nauseous, headachy and weak.  I am supposed to up my dosage on Tuesday February 1st and I hope my symptoms don't get worse. My blood sugar levels have been terrific. I only have 20 more lbs to loose.  I truly started at 190lbs but with Weight Watchers and I now want to get to my ideal weight of 145 lbs.  I%u2019m looking forward to finishing this quest real soon.  I will keep you posted about the symptoms and the weight loss success.  It is a great medicine so far."


"Prozac is really a life saver."


"I was currently taking Exalgo 12 mg 1 daily and 2 mg Dilaudid 2 daily. It started not to work so my doctor put me on Opana 40 mg 2 daily and kept my Dilaudid. So far taking Opana is great, it last long enough to take my second dose and I couldnt be happier. "


"It works, but gave me bad, bad nausea to the point that I threw up afterwards.  I had to take it with some food because of how bad it would irritate my stomach.  But other than that, it worked fine for my infection."


"There is no medication that will work with 100% accuracy. And this one is the same, I truly hate needles and this has definitely helped me to keep my levels normal with less poking at my skin. You have no idea how hard it is to have diabetes and hate injections."


"Very good med! Not an instant result but starts working effectively second day of continued therapy! Surprised at result as have been on Opana ER, Demerol & everything else. Very expensive though!"


"I started this medication about a week ago. I am diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder (Bipolar Type) as well as unspecified anxiety disorder. I was constantly dreading things and felt guilty for no reason. My anxiety bothered me to the point it made me vomit. I started on 300mg 2x a day and it has been amazing. It does not cure it but it takes away a lot of anxiety for me. I would definitely recommend this med."


"I feel great and it has been only 3 days.  I have battled with Major Depressive Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder starting treatment in 2006.  When I came back to States I was in 4 hospitals for months treated by the best on 7-10 different medications at different times. I had ECT etc.  For me all the medications did not do a thing for me but get suicidal thoughts and gained 60 pounds.  One antidepressant medicine I was on for a few years was Lexapro. I was in Aruba and wanted to die.  Through much thought and discussion, I weaned off of all the antidepressants.  After 8 years just last week a Doctor said I never have been on Wellbutrin and put me on it.  I have for the last few months been really down and out.   Immediately I feel better.  Took only 8 years. And wasted time in Hospital & ECT."


"I have never had such severe side effects with an oral contraceptive in the last 14 years (just turned 29); bloating, gas, 20lb weight gain, mood swings, still having cramps, and decreased sex drive. I gave it 3 months and it's just gotten worse. Beware ladies."


"Allergra D, is the best medicine for my allergies and I've taken just about every over the counter medicine. I have terrible hay fever and I'm allergic to almost all grasses, trees, pollen in my region (Midwest- Illinois). My allergist suggested that I move to Arizona.
Unlike Allegra D 12-hour, I'm having trouble with side effects: insomnia, nausea, heart burn, cramping. The stomach-related effects are beginning to taper off, but the insomnia isn't."


"I have done much better on Micardis than on the other one I used to take, Cozaar. Micardis lasts longer and seems to get my pressure way down. I'd say all in all I'm very pleased.
My doctor said It's a great drug."


"43 yr female. 5'5" 238 lbs. Taking Qysmia since Dec 23rd.  Started low dose (free ones).  Down 6 lbs. Have been eating nothing but snack foods. Not really hungry, but my mind keep telling me to snack.  Extremely thirsty.  Soda tastes gross.  Which I expected because I used to take Topamax for migraines a few yrs ago. I drink tons of water. Little emotional.  Extreme tiredness midday-early evening then a burst of awakeness toward late night.  Maybe has something to do with when I take the meds. None of the side effects are too concerning to me.  Can't wait to actually start eating healthier at home so I can do some serious weight loss.  The con to me is the cost.  "


"I credit Wellbutrin for my life. Started taking 150mg Wellbutrin SR 15 years ago to combat the sleepy side effect of prozac (taken for depression). About a year later I dropped the Prozac (because of sexual side effects). the Wellbutrin is enough to keep me normal. Over the 14 years I have tried 1: The no name brand (almost a disaster- made me sleepy & more depressed-fortunately i figured it out before getting suicidal) 2: The name brand long acting version- again made me sleepy and more depressed. 3. Took 2 by accident once or twice- ok until it wears off, then withdrawal feeling/depressed. 4. Sometimes I take one in the afternoon (when I am unemployed and more depressed) this works pretty well provided I take it before 3pm- or keeps me awake."


"I would have to say that viagra has really been good to me . It is expensive but worth it. I'm 42 and I'm not going to say that I can't get an erection with out viagra , I can but it just doesn't hold and goes up and down and is just 80-85 percent .. with this pill , it's 100 percent,  from start to finish and I can perform better and longer. It has really changed my quality of life with my wife. Thank you"


"Took it while breastfeeding to help increase my milk production. While it worked for that, it also put me into a severe depression, which I had never experienced before. My family and doc were convinced I was suffering from PPD (just the phrase, "How are you?" would send me sobbing). After doing a little research, I learned of the side-effect and stopped taking it. The symptoms ceased almost immediately. About 2 weeks later, as my milk production slowed, I thought I'd give it another try (thinking I'd be able to combat the feelings, now that I knew the cause). Within a few hours I could literally feel the black cloud of depression descend. It was terrifying. I never took another pill, and have never had another bout of depression."


"I started this about 6 -7 weeks ago after laparoscopy for small endo on my bowel and top of cervix was unsuccessful.

The first month was a nightmare. Started with worsening pain symptoms and an extra-long last period. Mood swings were outrageous. Crying, all the time and a little feet/ankle swelling.

Started adding back therapy and spironolactone a week ago and as I reach the end of month two, I'm pain free and I feel emotionally more stable. The side effects are manageable, at least right now. So if you can get past the initial period, it works."


"I'm 21. I've been on birth control since age 13, as I have PCOS and need it to regulate my periods. Inserting this once a month is easier than remembering a pill each day. I used to have long, heavy periods (1 wk), but with NuvaRing my periods are light for 2 days and heavy the last 2. Less acne, less pain too. It was awkward to insert at first, but after you can't feel anything unless it's slipping out (which happened once). Otherwise, it's a good product. My doctor recently recommended Minera, but after reading reviews I am not. I'd rather be able to remove something if it's not working."


"Tried something before this and it didn't work so doctor recommended this and it was stronger and really good results but for me the pain is still there if not worse"


"I have had cold sores since I can remember. they've always been hugely traumatic for me and really mess with my self esteem not to mention everyone on here would know they aren't pleasant physically!

I've always tried lysine which seemed to help but now that I've discovered famiclovr I realize they were doing nothing.

I've taken the three tablets on three occasions now where they prevented a cold sore from coming out altogether!

There have been two occasions where I took the tablets when I felt a blister and the blister got bigger however the very next day seems to be nearly gone.

Basically, if the cold sore is too powerful/you're too late to take the medicine it still reduces the healing time from 2 weeks to 4 days! Amazing drug."


"The sub's,  are keeping well from opiod withdraw. And It is keeping me out of pain!

I take a buprenorphine patch 20 milligram I wear it for 7 days it works fine. I was taking the patch and taking oxycodone. I got on the Suboxons to get off the oxy's.

So I'm asking can I just stop soboxoñ and apply the patch??"


"I am 21 and currently suffering from ADD and Depression. The Vyvanse has done wonders for me! I can finally concentrate. I do feel as though I have absolutely NO appetite, but it doesn't bother me because I don't eat much anyway. Things are finally looking up. I'm on 20mg."


"Works well for back, shoulder and knee pain"


"works great"


"I had an accident falling off a fence and broke my ankle (minor) but shattered my wrist bad. Percocet is all that works, it takes all the pain away with no side effects."


"I read some really scary reviews. But it was after I had already inserted the ovule. So I kind of braced myself for all the bad things people were saying. But nothing really happened. I felt a little heat down there once the medication started melting out. But other than that I was fine! I woke up and I felt so much better. My YI symptoms were almost completely gone! I would defininitely recommend this product. And if I ever have to, I would use it again!"


"Give the pill a chance. After taking it for a week, or even a few months, you simply cannot judge how it will effect you. I have been on this pill for about a year, and at first, I hated it. It made me nauseous, my boobs hurt, and all that, but after a while that disappeared. Only a few things have remained annoying about this medicine like irritability, cramps, and tiredness while menstruating, but isn't that what happens anyway? I have had no weight change, no headaches, no pimples, no change in sex drive, and nothing else! Plus, the most important thing is that I have not gotten pregnant. 9/10"


"The first couple of months were a bit odd: I experienced an increase of appetite, a short-lived acne attack, then sore breasts 1 - 2 weeks before the withdrawal period. After the initial 2 months getting acquainted, Sprintec and I became good friends. It does it's job without further noticable side effects for me. My period is lighter, but on and off: 3 days period, 1-2 days break, then another 2-3 days and no need for overnight pads."


"so i just felt the need to come on here and put in a good word. it has only been 4 days for me but I haven't had any crazy side effects. The bad so far is: a little nausea, and definitely some dizziness which is improving. I had some fatigue day 1-2 also and some cramping and headache day 3. my sex drive has been insanely high. I feel like I am more sane than normal and kinder lol. I don't feel the ring when its in really and I do have this compulsion to keep checking to make sure its still in there. I have had sex and no change (so far?) in ability to orgasm or vaginal lubrication. Previously I was on loestrin and was experiencing more side effects than this from the get-go. So overall I am happy.  I will update after a few weeks and see how its going."


"Before I began taking this medication I had gotten to the point where I couldn't eat anything without getting sick and just the thought of driving more than 10 minutes, or even taking a route without a convenient bathroom stop caused debilitating anxiety (which made symptoms worse!).

Since taking it, I can travel and eat normally again.  Dairy and alcohol still upset my stomach, but other than that I am living a normal life.  Some days I still get sick, usually around my "cycle" but the improvements from before the medication are astronomical.  Especially since side effects have been minimal-- only major one is headaches if I don't keep my fluid intake up."


"I have yet to find anything that helps me like Drixoral."


"I had sex the day my period had ended, so I was not fertile. While having sex, the condom had slipped off inside of me. I was super paranoid about any cum coming out so I took plan b about 12 hours later. I had symtoms about two days later - moody, nausea, fatigue. About a week later I then bled for three days, and it wasn't my regular period. My normal period did not come at the expected time. It was about two weeks late until I got it! I took a pregnancy test when it was a week late and it came out negative. The pill does mess up your cycle. Super scary experience, but try to relax! You'll be fine!"


"It works!!! Same ingredient as plan b, better price. No side effects experienced."


"I just started this yesterday, so I will continue to update on it. My low score doesn't indicate that it isn't working for me, just that is not yet had a chance to. So far though I have been up the entire night itching. Not at the application Site, but all over just like I do when I'm coming down from morphine, or other anesthesia after surgery. I hope that this passes because I'm very optimistic that this will work for me. My doctor just switched me to Butrans yesterday to replace Norco and baclofen  because my breakthrough pain was just getting so frequent and so severe that the other drugs were worthless. Reading everybody else's stories though makes me feel very optimistic about  Butrans."


"Works great for my allergies - nothing else has."


"I have been on 48 different medications, of all the drug classes used for anxiety and depression.  I can honestly say, the same day I took this medication at 10mg, I felt calmer.  This truly knocks anxiety completely out of the water. My depression is also is total remission.  I also am not experiencing any side effects. This is a wonderful medicine, despite the bad reputation they have."


"I was originally given ciprofloxacin for acute bronchitis but started having lower back pain and quit taking it. Went to another Urgent care and was prescribed the 5 day Z-pack and diagnosed with Bronchitis and nasal infection. Was also prescribed Prednisone 10mg and an Albuteral inhaler. It's been 4 days and only a slight improvement I have noticed mild diarrhea. I haven't taken the other prescriptions yet."


"On a twice a week treatment plan. Initial redness appeared from in about a week, then the cancer sites began to show ulceration. I'm about two months into treatment, and the cancerous and/or keritoses are almost gone. On a side note, I had areas that lit up I didn't recognize as abnormal, but my immune system did. Used this med about three years ago with similar results. Lastly, don't discard the opened pack if you don't use it all. My Doctor said to open it with a tiny nick in the corner and use only what you need and save the rest for the next treatment. As for the return of my lesions, they are in different spots than before. This med will not cure changes before they exist."


"Very grateful to my doctor recommending this medication when I was very reluctant to try anti-depressants. Suffered from depression for ten years, had a period of severe depression ten years ago. Felt myself entering a period of severe depression again but very reluctant to try medication as many family members had bad experiences. Sertraline has really helped me to have some breathing space during this time and given me some mental clarity to make it through the day. The side effects were brutal, I felt very sick and zoned out in the first three days and it did seem to make me feel worse mentally the first few weeks of taking it. There were many times I wanted to give it up, took 6-8 weeks to feel full effect"


"Sprintec overall had a positive effect on my body, regular periods, bigger breasts, no weight gain, increase in sex drive, and helped quite a bit with acne. Four months into it I caught a yeast infection which is the only downfall I've noticed."


"I had  PCOS and heavy periods.  I got the liletta placed in August 2017 I have experienced spotting after intercourse and my periods which only lasts a couple days.  I've had a little acne and I am down 14 pounds. I hated the insertion - I thought I was going to pass out and I have had 3 kids by c-section lots of scar tissue on my uterus but overall I love it"


"I have had migraine for the past 50 years, have taken tons of pain killers you can imagine how my daily life was ruined by the migraine. I was visiting my GP one day recently complaining about palpitation which I suffered for the past 2-3 months, he suggested propranolol 80 mg twice a day and then the miracle started working! As soon as I started taking propranolol both palpitation and migraine gone away! So far and I am hoping it will last for ever as I read the other comments. I am going to give a present to my GP worth at least 1000 pounds if I am headache free for a month. Finger crossed."


"I've been on this for a year at 20mg and am so happy I chose to do so.  I was so down; couldn't sleep, not present in the moment, constantly worrying, etc.  I was very skeptical of any SSRI and prefer to go "natural" so I resisted.  Over a year later I feel like I have a new lif, a better future, am a better employee, spouse, parent, etc.

I suggest using an "all the above" approach as part of a strategy to combat depression.  Involve a good counselor who has similar values, exercise, eat well, rest, be around supportive people, do something spiritual consistently.  I did this and my world changed for the better.  I hope it is sustainable."


"I've had this condition since I was 12. It's now been 25 years. This is one of the better medications I've tried and the last one on the list to try. It seems to be helping with mobility."


"Started off using Keppra with Tegretol, and at the regular 500mg dose per day. Later upped to 1000MG per day. Once they removed my Tegretol dose, I began to have violent seizures.

Now I have Tegretol back and my dosage of Keppra was doubled again. Now at 2000mg per day. I'm now depressed, tired, nauseated, and don't really want to eat at all.

I'll have to talk to my doctor about changing my medication."


"I am trying 50 mg and after 3 nights it really kicked in and the minimal side effects went away.  I take it for sleep.  It has been aslight learning curve.  Now I take it around 8pm  and go to bed around 10pm and that way I fall asleep wonderfully

I am hopeful it will keep working .."


"I experienced multiple transient ischemic strokes and my neurologist prescribed Aggrenox.  Following the first dose I felt my head was going to explode and got extremely nauseated.  I ended up in the emergency room.  I now list Aggrenox as a medication that I am allergic to because of the severe side effects.  I continue to use Aspirin, Plavix and other medications to try to prevent strokes."


"I have been on fluoxetine for less than a month and it's going ok. During the first 2 weeks, I felt surprising amazing. I had a new love of life. The week after, I felt suicidal, I felt worse and I just wanted to stay in bed and never leave. I feel constantly nauseous which isn't good. This week, I have felt a little calmer. I feel 'normal'. I hope I stay like this and just level out..."


"Don't take that pill, I gained a lot of weight, I got depressed and with anxiety, I always wanted to eat... I took it for only one month and now I have like 4 days without that pill and I feel like I'm gaining more and more weight (I'm eating so well, I go to the gym everyday...)"


"I started taking 150 mg of bupropion (the generic Wellbutrin) and after a couple weeks doubled it to 300 mg after my doctor told me to. Exactly one week later I broke out into the biggest, puffiest, itchiest hives all over my body. My joints also became swollen, stiff, and painful. My throat was also sore and tight. I ended up in the ER.

WHAT'S REALLY SAD IS THAT IT WAS WORKING WONDERS FOR ME! I studied half as much and it was twice as effective, my test grades were great!

I'm now trying to decide between Effexor or Straterra."


"Had a secondary molar extracted and was prescribed Tylenol 3 for pain. It has not alleviated the pain at all. I have a fairly reasonable pain threshold (had major abdominal surgery 1 year ago and didn't require this much pain management). Revisited the dentist today for pain (concern with possible infection or dry socket). All is healing well so I don't understand why the entire side of my face hurts. Don't recommend T3 for dental pain management. It's making me drowsy but that's it. I've had to take 1 every 4 hours and last dose I doubled up and took 2. Still didn't help. I don't think it's made any difference at all :("


"I was prescribed Septra for a bacteria infection . The prescription was for ten days and about the fifth day bad a headache started with sever lower back pain also. On the seventh day I broke out from head to toe with severe hives."
