"Before I tried this pill I tried so many others and the experiences were bad. This is the only pill that I feel like myself on! It probably is because this is the lowest dose pill available. Why put extra hormones in your body if you can prevent pregnancy and lighten periods with the minimal amount of hormones? I really like it! I've recommended it to several friends and they are liking it too!"


"I'm 22, no kids but after 5 yrs on pill I was ready for a worry free change. Insertion wasn't fun but very bearable. Planned Parenthood gave me ibuprofen before too. The first month, you are going to want to rip it out yourself. I had mind blowing, sweat inducing cramps throughout the day and a 6 month pregnant looking bloat I couldn't get rid of. Sexy.Lol. I thought I had made a huge mistake. Then, miraculously my period came with NO PAIN. I bled ALOT I'm talking 4-5 super tampons daily, the first 2-3 days, but literally painless bleeding. Even on or off pill I had always cramped. Now that my first period is over its easy breezy. Don't even know it's there. No bloat or pain. Just wait 6 weeks after insertion and everything will be great."


"Enbrel worked fantastic with near total clearing of all psoriasis for about the first 3 years, then acceptable but less complete clearing for the next 3, and finally stopped working altogether in year 7. Self-injecting with the pre-filled syringes was easy and overall I was pleased with the medicine and no side effects."


"I too had migraine headaches since a teenager. I would leave work vomiting and have to stay in bed, pillow over the head for 3 days (monthly). Back then, nurses couldn't ask for medication for headaches we would be considered 'seekers'. Phenergan was a God send then. When Imitrex came out I thought I found the Holy Grail. Topamax has beat it. NO Headaches, I have my life back. Thank You Pharmacologists, Researchers, Chemical Engineers...
BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY!!"


"I'm 33 years old with bad forehead acne that started in my early/mid 20s. I've been to dermatologists for years and everything I try eventually fails and seems to actually get worse in the long run. Aczone has been awesome for me. It took about 3 weeks before it started working, but no side effects whatsoever. I'm at about 2.5 months now and my skin hasn't been this good for many years. I love it. My skin isn't 100% perfect, but this is definitely the best thing I've tried, and I've tried a lot. Right now, this is all I'm using."


"I have been taking Tecfidera for approximately one year and have had no flushing but it seemed to have taken fix months to begin its anti-inflammatory effect."


"I have had the nexplanon for 5 months now. I hate it & would not recommend it! I was on BC pills for 3 years, but decided to try something different because the pills tend to give me headaches. I have a scar on my arm from the insert & it's very tender in that area of my arm. I have my cycle 3 weeks out of the month. I was told that my body would have to get use to the Nexplanon but after 3 months everything should be normal. That is not the case! I have gained 10 lbs so far, no sex drive & I am depressed normally all of the time. This was not me before getting the Nexplanon!! I have decided to have it removed & will have my consultation tomorrow. I cannot wait to get back to my BC pills. I rated this a 3 only bc I haven't gotten pregnant."


"I have been on this birth control for about 3 or 4 years and love it! It is my only form of birth control and I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I was on a different pill for three months and it gave me horrible cramps and headaches and once I switched back to Sprintec they went away."


"I went to my Doctor complaining about fatigue. After a few blood tests, we learned that I had low T. So I started off on the gels. 10g of Testim worked great but it was causing very high peaks daily that were causing unwanted side effects, specifically breakouts. So I was switched to Androgel which my body wasn't absorbing at all. After Androgel, my T levels was worst than before. I have been on 200mg IM of Testosterone Cypionate every 7 Days for the past 5 months and it's been life changing. Energy levels are back up and got my zest for life back."


"I was diagnosed in Oct 16 didn't start treatment until Jan 17, take it at night time, do have disturbed sleep but nothing and afternoon nap can't catch you back up with. It says you can have with it or without food -I found having empty stomach made me feel sick but was too late once you took it as couldn't eat anything after from feeling ill. Not sure about how effective it is and not had a check up"


"I am an official ex-smoker after 31 years. Chantix is a MIRACLE DRUG. While I experienced most of the common side effects, the only lasting side effects were dry mouth and gas which are much better than the stinky smell of smoke and the potential for COPD. I am almost done with my 90 day treatment and am encouraged to read that people did remain non-smoking after stopping the medicine - EXCELLENT."


"Honestly it worked really well for me and even helped take away some of my anxiety (stopped racing thoughts) but I started off at a way too high dose and had trouble with insomnia and some dry mouth but I felt the effects after about an hour and it really does last all day."


"I have taken this medication before and ran out because I don't have insurance and had to go through one of the drug help agencies to get back on it.  I started back on the medicine (30mg capsules) and have had severe eye problems, on the edge of my seat, tremors, OCD issues such as twisting my hair, constantly walking the floor. I can't sleep when I take this medication and the night sweats and low grade fever is miserable. I have also had a constant headache while taking this medication along with a low grade fever. I have no sex drive at all and I am in school and my mind goes blank. I feel like my head is sometimes floating above my body. "


"I have stage 4 endometriosis and have had laproscopic surgery to remove it from my pelvis/abdomen but I also have it throughout my bowel and it has penetrated all the way through. My doctor has put me on Zoladex for 9 months and I am on month 4. It has helped to manage my pain so far, initially it had taken virtually all of the pain away but within the last month it has slowly been resurfacing but it is still better than when I don't take it at all. The hot flashes, flushing, slight weight gain, night sweats, trouble sleeping, muscle aches, moodiness, anxiety, vaginal dryness and lack of sex drive are all bothersome but it beats being in constant pain and I know that the symptoms are temporary. I would definitely recommend Zoladex for endometriosis pain."


"Cymbalta works great, but withdrawals are ridiculous. "


"Took this pill less than 24 hours later and I'm now 5 weeks pregnant."


"Do not use.  This should be off the market.  The burn and itch is worse that the yeast infection.  Everytime I take antibiotics I get a yeast infection.  So I tried this.  Do not take unless u want a fire crotch."


"Lorazepam is the only thing that touches my nausea after having chemotherapy and for break-through nausea from the chemo.  I was not aware that this was a medicine used for nausea until my Dr. prescribed them for me and told me to dissolve them under my tongue for the nausea.  It almost always helps immediately and doesn't make me too drowsy to function. I just use 1mg. dosage and only when needed for the nausea and that is improving so I am very thankful."


"A surgeon recommended that I have a procedure to deal with the effects of several ruptured disks in my lower back.  I prefer to put off the surgery for as long as I can, and use Aleve on an almost daily basis.  It works just fine for me, and I only have an incident about every 1.5 years, and usually because I overdo the yard work. When it gets very bad, I supplement with an anti spasmodic drug for a few days."


"I have been taking paroxetine for 3 weeks and it has helped alot. I could tell the first week! I had anxiety, panic attacks and insomnia and it has helped in all areas. I even got my appetite back! Just trying to get back to "normal" sleep pattern. My pharmacists told me about melatonin 1.5 mg a night and it is helping as well. Good luck and don't let all the negative stuff freak you out like it did me!  "


"I am not a fan of this med. I started taking it for anxiety and it caused vision changes and major sedation for me even at a low dose. I stayed on it for a few years because did help some with anxiety. I just recently decided to come off of it and to my surprise there are withdrawals. My whole body aches, and I feel sick and have no appetite. I took my last dose a week ago and the withdrawals are still very noticeable. I know some people that have said Neurontin helped them a lot but for me it offered slight anxiety relief, sedated me, caused blurred vision and made me mentally slower."


"Zolpidem is OK (not great) as as sleeping aid.  I do experience a rather weird side effect: sleepwalking and sleepeating. Every morning my fridge looks as if the locusts have feasted (fortunately I don't have a weight problem)"


"I took the shot for about a year but had to come off of it due to medical problems. While on the shot I bled very little if at all. After I came off of it, it's been 6 months and there hasn't been a day where I've stopped bleeding heavily. It's been a 24/7 period, everyday, since I came off of the shot. It also caused massive weight loss for me, nausea, and drowsiness. If you're thinking about taking it, there is no positive reason to, it doesn't keep you from becoming pregnant and although it gets rid of your period while you're on it, once you come off of the shot your period will not stop for months."


"I was prescribed Augmentin several months ago for a severe sinus and upper respiratory infection, 8 days into a 10 day course I was even more sick than when I started.  I  ended up on Levaquin and steriods for 14 days as a result.

Once again a few days ago my primary care prescribed Augmentin for another sinus & UTI  despite my protests.  Within two days my chest is considerably worse and I am also experiencing terrible stomach pain and nausea.  I will be on the phone tomorrow insisting on a new medication."


"Honestly a godsend for my cat allergy. No bitter taste, minor to no side effects at all. I can breathe with this stuff. Long term user."


"On Brintellix (Vorioxetine) for just over a month. Got more energy, actually felt moments of being really happy, my IBS improveda and my focus was better. Got very vivid and odd dreams, not nightmares, just very odd and about a week into taking them terrible itching all over, but an aniti histamine helped with that. It lasted two days. Then my mood went down so bad my dose was increased from 10 to 20mg. Got the itching again. But yesterday I just exploded for no reason and almost hit my wife. So angry. When I calmed down I cried for hours. Then all day yesterday. It's like a shockwave of emotions with no control of them. Feel awful."


"Best med I've been on for Bipolar I. After 10 years on Lamictal as monotherapy, with continued mania and depression.  I was hospitalized and switched to Depakote. I'm sad my doctors didn't try getting rid of the Lamictal sooner. I take 500mg (delayed-release) twice a day and, along with 80mg of Latuda, I haven't felt this stable or anxiety-free since I can remember. I'm not dulled out, back to my normal, serene self. Depakote is known to work wonders for mania, and I can attest to this effect being noticeable right away. I have gained a few pounds but I'm too happy with how calm, collected, and lucid I feel to think about letting Depakote go. No other side effects, and I don't find it highly sedating -- guess I'm one of the lucky ones."


"By the third dose, I had experienced chest tightness, dry mouth, dilated pupils, dizziness and a loss of emotions. The most interference in my life was the dizziness. I did not want to drive the 25 miles to work and back due to feeling dizzy. The side effect that bothered me the most was the lack of feeling emotions. I felt very detached from any emotion and was unable to cry, laugh or feel love. I discontinued the drug after the third dose. This was not the way I wanted to feel while dealing with moderate anxiety. I'll look for herbal remedies and remain in therapist-guided talk therapy. I don't want to be a dizzy emotional zombie. I am also scared to death, from what I've read, to discontinue this drug due to horrendous bad side effects."


"I love it. It takes every pain away. It takes 2 hours for the full effect. I feel it starting to work after about 25 minutes."


"Horrendous experience!  I felt like I was poisoned, cramping pain, headaches, nausea.  Never again!  Tried Magnesium Citrate this time around and it was so much more pleasant, no pain, just a grumbling tum that cleared me out."


"I got this implanted in May 2015, so it has been almost a year. It started off great, light spotting, not pregnant, less cramps. 6 months in I started to get heavier periods (My period was never heavy before I got this) and they would be longer each month. I would get about a week off and it would come back. My cramps have gotten continually worse the past few months, as well as my acne. I have also gained 20 pounds (but that could also be attributed to me going to college) but overall, this birth control does what it's supposed to, with some uncomfortable side effects."


"1) hurt like hell going in, I don't care if it was only 30 seconds it was excruciating. (I've never given birth) 2) it did its job and prevented pregnancy the 8 months I was on it 3) made periods very heavy and longer 4) made my vagina smell awful!! And honest to goodness that has never happened so I knew it was the IUD ... Disgusting. I couldn't take smelling like an animal anymore so I got my bf to help me take it out. I'm not a doctor but if you hate paragard as much as I did and wanna save yourself a copay then spread em and let your dude pull it out with tweezers. 5) didn't feel anything upon removal"


"My doctor prescribed me celexa ten days ago as I suffer from bad anxiety attacks im also diabetic so she thinks the anxiety is brought on because of my unstable blood sugars ...the attacks were making my life hell also being a mum of three this was just not good ... I'm not sure on how I feel at the moment ???...i sweat so much feel sick and like I'm high on drugs ( such a weird feeling ) but I get a moment in the day where I feel okish and can see hope at the end of the tunnel .. I'm not sure if this means the tablets are working or not ?? I hope they do :))"


"Hello everyone! I took Junel fe for three cycles and gosh, was it a mess. I'm 5'3 and weighed at 123 starting it. At the end when I switched BC, I weighed 114. This made me severely nauseous, moody, and just made my anxiety horrendous. I would cry for no reason and over react. I give major props to my boyfriend for dealing with me...It got so bad to the point where he loved the placebo week because I didn't have nearly as bad as a reaction. However, I never got pregnant on this BC so it does what it claims. Props to it. I know BC is different for everyone so don't let this discourage you. I'm just sharing my experience..."


"This drug is AMAZING! My negativr thoughts and mood swings are a

Thing of the past.. FINALLY! Ive been on prozac, cymbalta, and fetzima (last one made me manic).. This is finally the one that worked for me! No side effects as of yet on 20 mg for 3 weeks.. Give it a

Try for stabilizing mood"


"55 male 6' 265.  Doing colonoscopy prep. Only clear liquids today. Had a small soft stool twice in the afternoon. Took 2 Dulcolax at 4 pm. Drank 64 oz Gatorade with generic Miralax (the whole bottle of powder). Movements began in earnest about 6-630. Its 720 now and I think the worst of it is over. Basically camped in the bathroom in a chair because it seemed I wouldn't make it. Wearing nothing but a winter gown in the summer because I got cold, and I'm almost never cold.
I'm supposed to take two more later, but I think that's it for me. Don't know what else could come out. I don't even want to drink any more liquid, but I'm diabetic and take two meds that make me pee more.
So happy I have a kitchen sprayer hooked up to my toilet to wash."


"Flagyl works, didn't get any nasty side effects except maybe constipation. Otherwise great."


"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. "


"Experience chronic  neck/upper body muscle tension after 3 cervical surgeries including fusion w/ plates (c567) & Artificial discs (c3&4). Have disc issues w L5- S1, too. Also diagnosed recently w/ fibromyalgia (but probably had it for many hrs prior).  This drug relieved the chronic pain of muscle tension (spasms, knots) . Took 10 mg at bedtime initially. Best sleep ever but I could have slept 14 hrs! I woke up very drowsy. Instead take only 5 mg early in evening. No other side effects.  I take only as needed as a precaution."

"I have been on 20mg of Prozac daily for a month now. I also take 0.5mg of Xanax for break through panic/anxiety attacks. I have never felt better. After 20 plus years of struggling with depression I have finally found something that helps without all of the yucky side effects. I'm 34 years old and am finally enjoying my life. My family and friends have also noticed the difference this has made. I love it."


"Switched from Depo to Nexplanon at the recommendation of my doctor, who was concerned with me being on Depo for longer than two years. The insertion appointment took 15-20 minutes and aside from a bruise that lasted 1-2 weeks it was quick and painless. I didn't have a period on Depo and that has continued with Nexplanon. I've had Nexplanon about 6 months now and have had light spotting once and am glad to still not have a period. No other noticeable side effects and it is nice not to have to go the doctors every 3 months. So glad that insurance pick-up the entire bill aside from an $8 pregnancy test."


"I love it! My biggest concern before getting it was that it would be painful to insert because that's what I'd heard, but it actually wasn't at all. The doctor numbed the area, which stung a little bit, but after that, I literally felt nothing; he was done before I even realized he'd started. The most uncomfortable part was the tight wrap that has to stay on overnight.

The next day I barely felt it. The 2nd day after, it wasn't even sensitive anymore.

As far as side effects go, I find it interesting that people complain about spotting. With any progesterone birth control there is a probability of spotting. I had random spotting with the patch and the pill. At least with this one I don't have to remember to take or replace anything."


"I was placed on 90mg Methodone by a pain clinic doctor daily along with 10mg of a muscle relaxant 4 times a day. Last April I had had enough of all the additional side effects so I begin weaning myself off by 10mg about every 5-6 weeks. Going from 30mg  to 20mg was terrible. New pain doctor ordered clonidine. Last Friday I  stopped all Methadone and withdrawal symptoms are very intense this time even with clonidine. Any suggestions of how long these horrific side effects will last? Unable to rest every muscle hurts and intense jerking of lower limbs."


"Actually went on here to see if sudden onset nausea and diarrhea after 3 hours of taking it was a symptom and lo and behold half the people on here saying the same thing. Be careful I took this, had no change in my cough, felt like I needed to vomit for an hour and then had diarrhea. Looks like some people just cant stomach it."


"I've had some minor GI issues all my life, I just figured that's to bad and dealt with it. Over the past 10 years it's been a little worse, but I rarely have problems always thinking out food poisoning. Over the past 5 or so years I developed somewhat reoccurring symptoms, but in general very good health. Diarrhea and bloody stool that would subside in under a week or two and happen a few times per year.  A few months ago I ran into a problem I couldn't shake mucusy bloody stool all the time and loose stools always. It lasted more than 2 weeks so I had to get it checked finally. A few dr visits and a colonoscopy diagnosed me with ulcerative proctitis. I'm using the enemas nightly. In under a week of use I have no blood, no odd discharge, feel normal."


"I got my kyleena put in September 12th of this year and I love it!! The insertion was what I had read about it was a really strong period cramp. I bleed for about 3-4 days and had slight cramping but now I spot every here or there and don't really have cramps anymore. So far this has been the best decision."


"This is my 3rd time using the Monistat 3 day ovules over the past 5 years or so and I swear by them! They always clear up my YI. Relatively inexpensive and easier than going to the doctor to get a prescription. Reading these reviews blows my mind a little because I've never experienced extreme burning, to be honest I barely know they are there. I insert them right before I go to bed and have absolutely no discomfort or issues. Maybe try doing this to prevent burning so the ovules dissolve and absorb while you are lying down instead of dripping out if you are sitting up or walking around. If you've experienced burning or are worried about burning I would say go to the doctor and get oral diflucan but I can vouch it isn't always painful."


"It's not as bad as the reviews I had read. I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect, so I came on here to get an idea if what I was getting into.

I have chronic severe food allergies. This product began to work smoothly within the hour. I used Oragel on my lips and drank completely down using two straws. Did not taste bad at all. I promptly drank two 16 ounces of water. I did get a little queasy a couple times and just chewed on ginger candy and was fine.

I'm a wuss about everything, but I have to tell you this was smooth compared to what I suffer with a food allergy bout of diaherra. This did not cause any cramping or bad stomach pains."


"I've been on Provigil for 2 years now for ADD like symptoms caused by a brain injury. After 14 years of not being able to keep my thoughts together enough to hold a job, I can now connect the dots and have been working full time for a year and a half. I do not take Provigil to make me smarter or give me an edge. I just want to be able to balance my check book and hold a job. I no longer have insurance to help with the cost, so I have been trying to make what I have left last as long as possible. Lately I've been having trouble organizing my thoughts and being able to finish the simplest of chores. Looking back, it is amazing how much this drug helps me to live a normal life."


"I had migraines years ago and they were debilitating.  I had to be alone in a dark room.  I had trouble remembering my own name.  It was as if I had had a stoke.  Eventually I seem to have outgrown them.

I suspect some people label bad headaches, "migraines," when they aren't.  My wife has CFS and has serious, real, migraines about once a week.  Imitrex is nothing short of a miracle medication for her.  Nothing else helps.

The main negative is the cost - about $250 for a box of about six nasal sprayers.  She will use four to defeat one headache.  Insurance only pays for two boxes a month, and she needs at least three.  With co-pays, we end up spending about $300 a month on Imitrex. "


"I got two shots and went into labor next week after I lost my son at 18 weeks n 5 days"


"First month on this pill no weight gain so far . I have noticed that my appetite increased a tad start my second pack tomorrow period came on for 4 days this month and was heavy for 3 of the days. Walmart fills it for free with my insurance. Acne is slowly clearing up"


"Okay, first reports here. 50 years old and a decent sex life, but the usual decline in maintaining the firmness over the last few years. Yes I can live with it but more interested in satisfying my wife who if anything has been more sexual (and orgasmic) in the last 5 years or so. 25mg an hour before expecting an opportunity for sex and member was indeed ready-to-go without much coaxing. Sex was solid and no anxiety about losing focus.. still erect after major orgasm and it took some time before going down (boy has THAT been awhile). No side effects besides a very excited wife!"


"Best antidepressant I've ever tried.  Horrible sexual side effects, especially since I'm a newlywed.  But at least I'm happy."


"Tramadol relieves most pain effectively without drowiness. It is also very cost effective"


"I just started acetazolemide a few days ago.  500mg 2x a day.  I had an lumbar puncture 2 days ago and neither have relieved much of the pressure.  Every time I take one of these pills I get a new symptom.  My kidney function has been weaker.  The pressure in my head continues.  My body aches all over.  The yucky taste....that is the least of my worries.  Pins and needles...check.  Extremely tired and feel like I've been beat.  I feel like bricks are laying inside my hips.  This stuff sucks!!"


"Have two torn rotator cuffs and been in physical therapy for over a year. I first was taking nothing until ALL MRI's, x-rays etc were done after I had waited a month before going to the DR. Dr. first put me on two Endocet 10/325 a day and was sent to a Orthopedic Clinic. Ortho.'s plan, Physical therapy, quarterly injections of cortisone and continue PCP pain treatment. With physical therapy 3 times per week, an increase of one more tab per day was requested by my physical therapist to withstand the pain. So I have been on 3 per day for about a year with good results. Osteoarthritis has set up in my shoulder joints as well due to the damages caused by my tears/accident. Sleeping is a huge problem still! No side effects on me."


"This is my first time getting a yeast infection and when I started to feel the burning and itching a few days ago I didn't know what was going on, I seen this discharge coming out and I was so disgusted. The smell wasn't strong but I had no idea what it all was. After seeing my gynecologist yesterday we knew right a way it was a yeast infection. I took my first pill yesterday and I felt so much better this morning, very little itching and no burning at all. I take my second pill on Saturday hopefully all the symptoms will be gone. Having that yeast infection was worst then labor. Fluconazole is doing its job well so far, such a relief!"


"I get probably 2 migraines a year, but when I do they are debilitating. I took Treximet with 2 minutes of my aura starting. 20 minutes later the aura was gone, and all the remained of the migraine's onslaught was some a very dull heaviness in my head, and some flushness. I would highly recommend this medicine. Ask your doctor for samples - that's how I got mine."


"Made quite a difference quite fast to hypervigliance and anxiety symptoms. I am no longer as scared as I was sitting in my own house at night. It's no miracle, no medicine will ever take away the memories but this definitely improves functioning."


"I never expected to feel normal again.  This medication has helped me function, wake up everyday and appreciate each day.  It enabled me to excel at work."


"I'm 53, and have been using Viagra for two years. The first time I used it, I took a 100mg tablet.  The erection was rock hard and the sex was long-lasting with my wife, who orgasmed twice. But I couldn't reach orgasm, even though I was rock hard. I had the flushing in my face and a slight headache. My erection lasted a couple of hours. But couldn't orgasm. I now take 25-50 mg to reduce the long erection time, but often don't feel stimulated enough to orgasm.  I'm wondering if other men have this reaction as well."


"One day 3 years ago I woke up and was dizzy out of the blue. That continued everyday for a year and a half. Finally my doctor put me on meclizine and it took a few days but it works really well. I've been on it now for over a year and take half a pill every night before bed. A whole pill puts me out of commission. Lately I have been noticing side affects though. Weight gain, blurry vision, more frequent urination and increased mucus. Due to these side affects I would like to get off this medication but not sure what I can take that will help me but have less side affects"


"After an escalating two year psychotic depression I finally sought help- I was suicidal and believed I was beyond help. Olanzapine eased the psychosis but the deep dark depression I was in was relentless. It took a year of finding the right fit, prozac and citalopram didn't help me at all. Finally I was put on Effexor at 225mg and have been on it for 3 months. It has made a massive difference in a short amount of time. Don't take as long as I did to find the right combo, I assumed these drugs were more or less the same so thought they just couldn't help me. Effexor saved the day, and with olanzapine, my life!"


"I took it today after suffering with severe anxiety and it worked quickly on me. My mind relaxed and I wanted to go out with kids."


"I loved the effects this had on me, however my kids said it made me crazy and mean. I first began taking it to regulate my sleep pattern when I had a third (overnight) shift job. Several years later I went back on it for depression while trying to raise 3 kids on my own. It helped me to lose weight but It made me very moody. Some 13 years later I returned to it but got no symptoms relief. Just weight loss, again."


"I wanted to share an update on my Mom's status with the hope this information helps others. My Mom's been on the Sinemet now for five months. She's still taking 3 tablets a day (25/100)-- one in the morning upon rising; one early afternoon and one in the evening. She's had no side effects that we are aware of, and up until the last three weeks has been really doing well. Now she's starting to have increased fatigue and some confusion-- not terrible, but noticeable. I'm taking to her neurologist in two weeks to see if she needs a small increase in her dose. He said her current dose (1 pill three times a day) is low, and there is room to increase gradually. Mobility is still excellent and tremors are barely there."


"This is very good for my generalized anxiety disorder along with olanzapine. I take 100mg at night, it helps me sleep too."


"I started taking Belviq on the 2nd of October 2014 weighing in at 216 at 5"5. After taking Belviq the 1st day I had slight headache after that I just was able to sleep better. Today I currently weight 209!! In 5 days I have lost 7 lbs so I am assuming I'm a responder. I didn't have to pay out of pocket yet since I had the free trial they accidentally gave me 1 free month. So I'll update you after one month. I'm excited#"


"55 yr old female, chronic constipation my whole life. I have tried everything, OTC to Linzess which did nothing. I am thin, exercise, high fiber, flax, metamucil, probiotic, and nothing. I go 4-5 days then take 3 ducolax, magnesium citrate and pray. Now that doesn't work. Colonoscopy ruled out anything "serious". Prescribed 24mcg Amitiza. Ate breakfast took the pill and within an hour I was SO SICK. I had explosive diarrhea, felt faint, nauseous, cold chills and sweating. Laying on my bathroom floor going back and forth to the toilet, thought I would throw up too. But I went! I did not take it again because of the side effects. Doc gave me 8mcg. I'm scared to take it. It's awful that I would even think of taking it again just to go to the bathroom"


"I got on this pill specifically from my doctor because I was still nursing. She insured me this is pill to get on so my milk supply would not dry up. WRONG. I took it for about 6 days -on the 6th day I started pumping and absolutely nothing came out. Just empty. I also started bleeding. Not heavy very light. I got off of it immediately."


"Micronor for 4 months now - switched from Tricylin Lo because I had high BP and apparently Micronor isn't as bad as combo pills. I was told to take it at the time I was least likely to have sex - so I picked noon, that was stupid.

Of the 4 months I've spotted/bled significantly 90% of the time. I've noticed if you don't take it EXACTLY at the same time you will spot - its always 1 or 2 hours after taking the pill. My doctor told me its only a 21 hour pill and then it wears off - so I think every freaking day I get the reboot period button pushed. Its hell.

Period sex sucks - this pill might as well be called the Abstenance pill - I miss my combo pill. I think it raises my BP to have to buy 4x lady products."


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


"This medication, along with every other medication, is not for everyone. I just switched to this from Adapalene gel because the Adapalene wasnt effective for my skin. Literally, within one use my skin got better. I had been getting really bad cystic acne that took a long time to go away and the tretinoin dried them up and brought all the pus to the surface which is a good thing! I haven't even been using this for a week and my skin is a million times better! Side note, I have extremely sensitive and dry skin and this product dries me out slightly but it's so worth it."


"I absolutely love it! And by the way its the only medication for insomnia that is approved by the FDA to be taken long term. I've tried Ambien, temazepam, trazodone, OTC sleep aids, valerian, melatonin, EVERYTHING; and nothing else has ever came close to helping me sleep like Lunesta does. The only problem which really sucks is my insurance wont pay for Lunesta so if I want it I have to pay cash and its ridiculously expensive!"


"I started having anxiety and panic attacks about 3 years ago. I also suffer from bipolar disorder and the combination of that and anxiety can be crippling. My anxiety and panic attacks progressively got worse with time. I have tried a few different medications to help with little to no results. After switching doctors I was started on propranolol for my anxiety, what a game changer! I have been anxiety free since! I was very skeptical about taking this, I wondered how this kind of medication could work for anxiety, but I am so glad I agreed to give it a shot! Would totally recommend to anyone suffering with anxiety!"


"So far been on this for about 3 months now... And I've gained weight rapidly. My mood swings are way off the wall. I'm tired just about everyday even after countless hours of rest. My periods are extremely abnormal in which they never were before. Random spotting...which is extra annoying. My past period cycle was so weird because I've just gotten it and it looked like it was going away, even thought it was lighter it lasted a lot longer than usual. You definitely get pregnancy like symptoms...such has the bloating excessive eating, sensitive nose, mood swings and defintley lots of fluids real easing from you're body."


"Am 90 year old male with enlarged prostate using 5 mg Zolpidem tartrate per night along with 1/2 PM pill..Getting up about twice per night for urination but never getting more than 5-6 hours of sleep per night.Tried 10 mg Melatonin  with no other sleep aid and did find it put me to sleep easily but had to get up to pee 4 times...  between 9PM and 4 AM... Doctors these days are trying to minimize use of Zolpidem( generic Ambien) and replaced the initial  prescription from 10 MG Zolpidem, which worked very very well   for me, with 5 MG, which is noticerably less effective.. so, tried  Melatonin..This is third night with only Melatonin  and between 9PM and 2AM, I was awakened for 3 pee trips..Will go back to Zolpidem and PM pill combination."


"In bed 24 hours severe pain head to toe blurred vision vomiting light sensitive extreme this all happened on the day that I took imdur - I'm taking 30 milligrams the next day I was in bed till about 2 I felt 75% better did not take imdur called the doctor and told them what was going on would not recommend this medication to my worst enemy"


"I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I've tried plenty of other pills in the past (Lessina, Norinyl, Syeda to name a few) and this is my least favorite. I stopped taking birth control for a couple of years but recently decided to get back on so my doctor prescribed me Lutera. Within weeks, it made me more irritable/sensitive (I would cry for no reason) and my sex drive became nonexistent. I had instances where I would be interested in having sex but couldn't enjoy it due to painful cramps. I also felt extremely nauseous, had horrible indigestion, my acne came back, & felt bloated the entire time I was on this pill. Aaand, I had breakthrough bleeding for 3 weeks straight. Thankful I was able to switch back to a generic of Yaz, it's quite an improvement."


"I have been on phentermine for a month and have lost 13 lb from 222 to 208. The only side effect is the dry mouth.  Since I don't crave food it's easy to stick to a low calorie diet. I didn't get the boost of energy that I wanted on the contrary i felt a little fatigue the doctor said its my body getting used to the low carb diet and the increase of exercise so he gave me a b 12 shot. We will see how month two goes . Side note I have been on my weight loss journey for a year I hit a plateau and I am using phentermine as an aid not a quick fix. Original weight:256"


"I have battled depression with this for 30 years. Taken every medicine on market. I take this medicine with Xanax. Yes, I have diarrhea BUT I'VE ONLY TAKEN 1 TABLET AND I FEEL BETTER ALREADY. PLEASE KEEP WORKING. I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT JUST AFTER 1 PILL."


"Get out of breath easily without any exertion, tired and can fall asleep just sitting in a chair, swelling of feet and ankles."


"Do not take this drug. It can cause breast cancer. 43 years old and diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. This drug jolessa is lethal. Any drug that prevents you from having a normal cycle is dangerous to your body. It is not safe to go 90 days without a menstruel cycle. When this happens your body can over express the hormone estrogen in your body and can give you cancer. I fear that this message will not make it to review because theese drug companies don't want you to know about this. Shame on them if they don't post this. Do your research and homework and be safe. I was a Jolessa user and now I am a stage 4 breast cancer patient!!!!!!!!!!'"


"Hi you all. I have to say if you are worried to take a deep breath because it works however for me the side effects were terrible. Had unprotected sex (condom broke) and he did not come inside me. 6 h later I got paranoid and took Plan B. That was around 1pm. I felt fine the entire day until 9pm where I just started to get diarrhea, nausea, and the feeling of being really tired (my eyes just could not stay focus and wide open). The room was spinning so much I had to sleep on a chair and suck ice cubes.

My period was due for another week and a half. The effect lasted for 2-3days (did not go to school). On the 5th day I got my period. "


"Effective for mood symptoms when at therapeutic level."


"Getting Skyla inserted was a breeze. From the moment she started insertion to the moment she was done was probably around 90 seconds, with 30 seconds of that having any sort of pain. If you've ever had bad period cramps, you know what it'll feel like. There's about 3 very intense, but bearable, cramps that feel just like a bad period cramp. As long as you breathe through them and stay relaxed, they are no biggie. After she was done I sat up slowly and felt 100% fine. I drove 2 hours back to school with no issue. For the first 48 hours I have VERY mild cramping that easily went away with Advil and some spotting. Its been a week and I feel great. I am experiencing a small breakout, but that could also be due to stress and eating like crap."


"Its been around forever but it works well."


"I started Ortho Evra in Nov. 2005, and am still on it.  I put it on my pelvis an inch away from my hip, and have had no trouble with it sticking there.  It did not stay in place on my upper arm or butt - probably due to friction.  I have side effects: reduced sex drive, breast tenderness in week 3 and patch off week, mood swings and an increase in acne in week 3, and mild skin irritation at the application site.  I have a history of migraines with aura.  When I was on migraine medication that worked well, Ortho Evra did not cause a problem.  Since my migraine medication has stopped working effectively, it seems that Ortho Evra increases my likelihood of a migraine during week 3.  I will sadly be switching to a non-estorgen form of birth control."


"I took the pill 8 hours after unprotected sex. The guy bought it because the man at the counter said it was just as effective as "Plan-B"  but cheaper. Fast forward tow weeks, im having hard cramps and mu period was 5 days late. I took a pregnancy test and it came back possitive. PAY THE EXTRA $10 FOR THE "Plan-B". Aftera is NOT effective"


"I now have been on Suboxone for about 1 year now and I feel great. I used Oxy's and Hydro's and was also on heroin for about 6 years. I just can't stop thinking about the day that I said that I can't live my life this way. So I got on this site and found a doctor who has helped me and has also been my friend through my up's and down's. I haven't relapsed the whole time I've been on it and I thank God for this drug. For the doctor who is not only my doctor but my friend. "


"All was ok while I was taking ebrel injections and then after months my doctor told me to take a new medicine more safe . So I took otezla. Took the starter kit and continue into 2 pills per day. Nausea, diarrhea and headaches start then. The doctor told me that the first month all these thinks happen.  Then after 2 months I had brutal headaches fatigue and pain in some of my fingers my legs and also in the back. The back pain is the worse of all.  I wake up early morning every day with strong back pain . When I coughing I also pain . First I thought that the pain war because of the bed then I realised that it was the side effects of the medicine.  I still continue the therapy and waiting to change back to injections ."


"This medicines side effect for me was really bad constipation. I was in and out the ER for constipation and not one doctor told me it could be this medicine. After getting off of it, it took me 9 long days to have a bowel movement but since getting off of it I am back to normal. This medicine never helped with my overactive bladder."


"Love it. I had 2mg for pancreatitis in the hospital. I hear the pills are good for severe pain, I have never had the pill though. It can make you sick on your stomach though."


"I started Rogaine and Propecia about a year ago. I apply Rogaine 2x a day morning and night. I have noticed thickening of my hair and I do have a 6 month before and after picture my dermatologist took. She said I am her "poster child" for this treatment... we were both very excited! I have absolutely no noticeable side effects from either medication. Sex drive is the same as it was before medication. I also use Regenpure DR, NT, and conditioner. I wash my hair once daily as it is needed because the Rogaine foam creates a stiffness of my hair (like gel would if applied) and I have a problem w/ dandruff. My dermatologist prescribed me triamcinolone acetonide lotion to help with itchiness which I apply with a Qtip. (1/2)"


"My nurse practioner kept insisting I try Prozac along with Olanzapine for my severe bipolar depression because it was the gold standard (supposedly they work good together). So, I ended up taking Prozac all the way up to 60 mg for over 12 weeks (along with Carbamazepine, Olanzapine & now Saphris) and I only got a partial response to the medicine. It helped get me functioning again but I wasnt happy. I still didnt enjoy the things I loved doing. For example, I would try listening to music or play video games but it wouldnt do anything for me. The euphoria was kind of missing. I know 80 mg is the max dosage but I shouldnt have to be on the max dosage or go beyond it to get a desired effect. Oh, and I lost my sex drive on Prozac too! Grr!"


"Totally waste , just avoid ...it causes serious vision changes. Do not take any of them."


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


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"I've been taking Genvoya for about three months and have been experiencing some weird side effects and unsure if others have experienced as well they are Confusion, Memory loss, thought process  There are some days I find myself with slow thought process, unable to articulate well or find it hard to think of words and putting them together in sentences, I've said things and and a minute later I would forget what I've said and at times feel unable to focus.  I'm wondering if anyone had similar experiences?"


"I also want to say I have been taking it for 3 yrs... And it did help with my depression but my sex life was terrible and trying to get off of it has given worst withdrawals ever... But I really think this medicine affects every person differently."


"All the other reviews make this pill sound horrid. I have been on this pill for two years. Let me tell you, the first few months of taking this pill is hell. Complete hell. I had a period every other week, I broke out, I gained weight, I had mood swings. I talked to my doctor too switch but he insisted I stay on it. And I did. Months went by and the side effects went away. My period just kinda comes and go's when it wants. But other than that its fantastic. I take it everyday at the the same time. Stick with it and all will be fine :)"


"I have been on birth control for 5 years now. I switched to Apri about a year ago and didn't think anything of it. I also suffer from Bipolar disorder and not long after that I had a lot of issues with that and ended up being hospitalized and having my meds re-evaluated. On top of that, I gained about 40 pounds. Because I had issues previously I never attributed them to Apri. I had been on birth control for so long, I just assumed they were all the same. 2 weeks ago I switched to an IUD and I've already lost 5 pounds out of no where despite having worked my butt off for months trying to loose weight with hardly any success. While Apri may not have been the direct cause of my 'episode', I definitely attribute it to my weight gain."


"AVOID, AVOID. I was prescribed this for what was diagnosed as a bacterial upper respiratory infection. Have never had issues with antibiotics before. Yes, it improved my symptoms from the infection....but every day, I had a POUNDING heartbeat in the mornings...and it was causing profound fatigue and weakness every day. Didn't figure it out until after I took it the morning of day 5 and did some research. I STOPPED THAT TOXIC MEDICINE then and there.  It's now 48 hours after I stopped it and I still have easy fatigue and palpitations. AVOID!!!!"


"Maxalt has really changed how I felt about my migraines.  Before I was prescribed Maxalt, I would suffer terribly, taking only OTC medications which "never" helped much. Now when I feel those tell-tale signs of a migraine coming on (I do not experience any "aura"), I take a Maxalt (and sometimes some ibuprofen, too) and I know my migraine will be gone within the hour!  And I'm not sleepy."


"Well,I am on mirtazapine for a month now.I would say it lifted my depression pretty fairly,A few weeks ago I was almost unable to go out for a shower,or even to the toilet...As for now,I can go out shopping,it is a big improvement.I am on 30 mgs taken bedtime.My only problem is the restless sleep from the med,but i hope that will fade away with time..."


"I've had sex on May 10 around 2-3 in the morning we found out the condom broke after we was finished. It's been 3 days since I took the pill around 11/11:30 pm that's same day. I'm scared and nervous because my period just went off May 3, and I believe I'm ovulation started the day I had sex. Right now I'm experiencing some sickness and a little bit of stomach pain. I feel like I gotta go poop. I feel sick and I'm tired. I haven't seen any reviews on My Way and I need help because I'm crying and don't know if it's going to work. I'm praying it does because I'm not ready for a child right now although I'd be graduated from college but still continue going.
Some one help me?? My friend told me to calm down - it will work."


"I have been taking Tenuate 75mg once a day for a week, I've lost 7lbs, I have experienced dry mouth but I can definitely live with that.  Infact I almost feel sick in the morning if I don't drink 16oz of water between 6am and 9am.  I still get hungry but I get full faster. I keep a bag of organic almonds in my desk and eat 6 to 10 almonds when I get hungry and that takes care of that problem.  This is the first weight loss pill I've ever taken and I am pleased with it.  40lbs to go, I hope to reach my goal in 4 months, this first 7lbs was with only 2 days of exercise and eating semihealthy."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"My experience with Suprep was excellent!  No kidding!  I had a colonic (colon hydrotherapy) 24 hours before starting the Suprep, and I also started decreasing my food intake 48 hours before by keeping my meals light and avoiding snacks.  After the first dose of Suprep, I didn't have any bowel movement at all.  Things started moving about 45 minutes after the second dose and the process was finished within 30 minutes.  My bottom was not sore at all because there was very little debris in there due to the colonic and limited food intake beforehand.  Also, I didn't have any problem drinking the solution, the taste wasn't that bad."


"Hi am on Victoza now for 2 months. Was on it before for a month. Had some side effects in the beginning but now its fine. My blood sugar levels are under control as well as my high blood pressure. Do experience some constipation. Very good drug. Pray my medical aid will consider it for chronic meds."


"I have been on Celexa for nearly two weeks and it has been a huge help. I can finally get up, bathe, get dressed, and go out. I am able to take my children to school and actually function. This is my first time taking meds but I am open to them since I have educational background in mental health. I am a grad school student and was first put on Prozac but after nearly two weeks I went from severe anxiety to falling into a deep, terrible depression that left me unable to function. My Dr. immediately switched me to Zoloft but after only 4 days I became severely nauseated, so once again I was switched to Celexa, and finally I can say that now I have gotten some serious relief. Only side effects are itching and dizziness. Good luck to you."


"I was very excited to get this birth control because I have epilepsy and it was one of the birth controls I could use with my medicine. I got it on August 2010 and after that I have had longer periods and I get them twice a month. I am bleeding very heavily. I was hoping that this birth control would help my period not make it worse. I regret getting it and wish I chose something else. The only benefit to this birth control is I don't have to worry about taking it every day."


"If you want this Medicine to be effective drink plenty of water after taking it. All magnesium does is draw water into the bowel so the more you drink the faster and looser the stool will come. :)"


"I was given 1000mg of Azithromycin in the form of four pink pills. I seemed fine for the first hour and a half. Was released from the clinic driving home when I felt nauseous and extreme abdominal pain. I had to pull over I was in so much pain and vomited everything I ate that day. I'm not sure if I need to get another dosage or not since I vomited literally everything up. I'll contact my local physician in the morning. So far not a happy camper."


"To start with I am in the UK and for me is an effective Asthma controller, it works but; lets talk side effects: The first thing that occurred was the hallucinations, it was like being on LSD. My libido disappeared. I started to get angry very quickly and am now intolerant of the most stupid things. Short term memory loss has become a severe problem; My eyesight has worsened very quickly and I get eye infections easily. On top of all that, my throat has become so bad, (potential Candida) I can no longer sing in public - it would have helped had I been told to rinse after every use. Having seen the official list of side effects, for all its good this has got to go."


"Levora is the only birth control I have ever taken so I had nothing to compare it to. My acne has cleared up nicely but have not noticed any change in breast size. My periods aren't much better than what they were except now they're on time. I haven't gotten pregnant but every month I worry at the slightest symptom I probably get from these pills. I have noticed crazy emotions as well as crying a lot more."


"It works very well and there are few side effects. My blood sugar will get low but it does not drop like insulin can do. I watch what I eat and maintain exercise and my numbers are always good. I recommend this medication."


"I only take Belviq once a day, and I'm eating a low carb, high protein diet. I've been walking so that's not new but I'm down 17 pounds in 30 days.(213lbs to 196 lbs) I'm hoping that increasing my exercise will help a lot too. It works as a great tool for controlling appetite, if you truly are committed.  I'm sure we all know its mental."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I came across this page as I was half way through some moviprep and on the brink of throwing it up. I tried a straw, herbal tea chaser, soda water, mints and none of these helped. I then tried chewing gum, pinching my nose and not taking too big a gulp. I'm now almost through the second lot. It's working but I haven't had the big rush to the loo that I was expecting. I have colonoscopies every couple of years and each time I forget how awful this stuff is. Why can't they just give us something to evacuate the bowel that is then followed by heaps of water to flush it through.... Good luck to all who have to drink this."


"After 31 years of being treated for depression with a panic disorder, and constantly complaining that the diagnosis was wrong, I found a doctor that figured it out. She diagnosed me with Cyclothymia (a form of bipolar disorder). She took me off of SSRI's and started me on Gabapentin. WOW. I feel like a normal person (I think). I'm calm. So far no panic attacks. The fog has lifted. I feel like I'm actually in the room. It's too bad that it took 31 years of my life for the medical community to figure it out, but better late than never."


"I've got complex regional pain syndrome and it helps with the numbness in my leg but does not take away all of the burning sensation. After the Percocets quit working the doctor put me on Dilaudid #4's and the pain has been reduced some but I feel that I could use something even stronger. 1 every 6 hours helps but is still not enough."


"I was put on this medication earlier this year for OCD. I didn't really notice a difference other then it made me tired about a half hour after taking it. It did not seem to improve my OCD symptoms.  However I do wonder if I was on a high enough dose. My doctor only had me on 50 MG and I have a high tolerance to med so I might give this another shot at a higher dosage. Also I was only on it for a few weeks I think."


"I started Zoloft just two months ago. I had been depressed for nearly two years. It got to the point of planning a suicide. I decided to go get help and give life one more shot. The doctor prescribed Zoloft to me and it has made all the difference. I really started noticing a change after the first month. There's a complete change in my attitude and outlook on life. It may have saved my life."


"I'm about to start my third round of Euflexxa. I tried Synvisc-1 twice with great results but only lasting 4-6 months. My first round of Euflexxa lasted almost 15 months, and I was pain free most of that time. The second round was almost 18 months! No significant side effects, a little swelling and pain after shots, but not for long. I am very physically active; I teach or take Pilates 6 times a week, take yoga 3 times a week, and do deep water aerobics 3 times a week, in addition to walking my dogs twice a day. This medicine is a God send. I am hoping to avoid TKR for as long as possible and stay happily active as well."


"I hate it so much! I've had it for a year now I was really into track and I'm a VEGAN. I take care of my body. I've been at a healthy weight most of my life but after getting this bar I've gained 45lb and the only thing that has changed in my routine is this birth control. I'm getting it removed ASAP. My doctor kept telling me let my body adjust to it after 9 months I waited 12! My doctor keeps trying to blame me for the weight gain but I eat between 900-1200cal a day and it's mostly vegetables or tofu!"


"I took Plan B one step on May 1st after unprotected sex. I realized I was ovulating at that time (according to my period calendar) after we had finished. He didn't go inside me but I was still afraid, so my boyfriend and I went and bought the Pill and I took it within an hour and a half. Not even exaggerating but I had cramping everyday since I took the pill. I also experienced headaches, and felt really hot here and there, almost as if I had a fever. Tender breasts were also a symptom of mine. Just yesterday which was the 12th day after taking Plan B, my boyfriend and I had protected sex and when I went to clean up I noticed blood! Turns out I got my period two days before I was supposed to be due. Relieved that it worked for me! Good luck"


"My 10 year old daughter with spina bifida uses it. the main thing that we have noticed is the dry mouth. Her lips are cracked but we apply Carmex and increase fluid intake, because the benefits out way the risks.  A satisfied customer. "


"I've been on the Depo shot for a year now and the only problems I'd faced were the headaches, nausea, and mood swings. It's Great not having a cycle. I'm opting to try another method, but the shot seems most effective. Although everyone's Experience is different, mine was Okay."


"I've been taking Cymbalta (60mg) for around 6 months now and it seems to be really helping me with my anxiety and depression. I don't panic over little things anymore which is great and my friends and family have really seen an improvement in my mood. Decreased my appetite and emotional eating and I've lost 17 kilos (37 pounds).

Negative (but bearable) side effects would be moderate fatigue, the occasional headache if I take my dose late, weird dreams every night, twitching, dizziness when I stand up. The worst thing I've noticed is memory problems, I sometimes can't remember simple words and get a little confused."


"My wife and I had been taking 10 mg hydrocodones for 15 years like they were tic tacs. I worried about myself and my wife getting off these. We got suboxone and I have not used in almost a month. My wife only took a half a suboxone a day for 3 weeks. She has not taken any Suboxone in a couple of days and is fine. I have been taking 1 x 8 mg tablet a day for the past 3 weeks . We really wanted to quit and without suboxone this would have been impossible. I wish I would have taken this a few years ago, we blew a lot of money. Good Luck to everyone. The main thing is to know in your heart that you want to be a better person for the ones you love and suboxone will really help."


"I was having extreme hot flashes and started taking Effexor 75 mg and it almost immediately stopped 95% of them. I am up to 150 mg per day now and the only issue I have with the medication is the horrible withdrawal symptoms. I was without insurance for a month and within 2 days of not taking it I was at the hospital with what I thought was the flu. My Doctor had warned me not to stop cold turkey but I had no idea it would be that severe. But if you take as directed and discontinue with your Doctor's help there should be no problem. The pros definitely outweigh the cons."


"This drug is a live saver for my Major Depression. Has me back to feeling like myself."


"I t really got rid of my nerve pain in foot"


"Lost 90 lbs with low carb diet and exercise. Exercise became fun for the 1st time in 34 years and the weight melted. I busted my rump, though. It's not something that would have lost me more than 12 lbs if I didn't work for it otherwise too. :)"


"I had sex for the first time on April 10th. We didn't use protection, it was kinda in the moment so we didn't think about it. He didn't cum inside of me but he had cum before earlier in the night. I was terrifed that I might have gotten pregnant from the precum. Especially since I was supposed to be ovulating. I took a plan b 10 hours later. I got nausea, cramps, backaches, headaches, acne, the works. I thought I was pregnant but it was just the side effects. My period came a day late, I started today, April 26th."


"Worked great for many months. Then I started noticing my hair falling out, bladder irritation, and then the dark spots that were staying put while the rest of my summer tan was fading. It was great while it lasted though."


"I have been on many different birth control pills (Microgestin, Necon and Norterel). I take the birth control continuously without the placebos so I wont have a cycle. I had break through bleeding and really bad side affects with all the aforementioned pills. A friend of mine was taking Lo-Ogesterol and she highly recommended trying it. I finally convinced my doctor to prescribe me Lo-Ogesterol. Since taking these pills they are doing what they're suppose to do. I have no side affects what so ever and no bleeding. I am very happy with these pills compared to what I was on. Everyone's body is different so it will take a few pills to find what works for you"


"My wife was prescribed Bontril as she was a bit overweight about a year after having our child. Three months later, she started having significant side effects which resulted in a full blown psychosis. Despite no prior mental issues, she was diagnosed with Schizo-Effective disorder at 32 years old, very late for a normal diagnosis of the sort.

Two visits to a mental health facility and four years later, she managed to return to the dermatologist who prescribed (and distributed out of his office) the medicine. Two months later she was dead. The autopsy was inconclusive and we are currently awaiting toxicology to confirm. Be very cautious of taking this medication."


"I had went to Florida for a month & had no sex with anyone until I got back to NY & saw my boyfriend. Once we had sex I figured my bacteria balance Down there was on the trip since it had been a month. I bought yeast infection pills & also a cream for itching. I was having extreme itching but also small cuts around my clitoris & irritation near my vulva lips. I used Vaseline for the burning. The Vaseline made the discharge worsen. I also used non scented baby wipes to freshen up so I didn't have to wash 10 times a day. So I went to the doc & they gave me the yeast infection antibiotic & that didn't help. Got tested & Turns out it was bacterial vaginitis. The doc prescribed me metronidazole & its working. All of the issues I had are gone!!:)"


"When I first got the implant in 1 1/2 years ago I had my period non-stop for 2 months and have only had one period since then. I had extreme muscle fatigue and pain for a month after the implantation.  I experienced no weight change but went from having perfectly clear skin to extremely bad acne. I also have experienced extreme changes in mood since getting it in. I've considered getting it taken out because of the acne issues but am enjoying not having a period."


"Effective drug, 12 hour thing is a pain as is the eating discipline. Must affect hemoglobin levels as feeling tired is an issue. Any effort i.e., walking up a slight incline can make you feel nauseous. Can't complain because it works for me."


"My migraines usually consit of aura, numb hand/face/nose, and aphasia, followed by the severe headache alongside nausea and vomiting. They usually last about 3-5 hours until I can function again. I had been taking naproxen for my painful menstrual cramps. It worked quite well for this, and so when I felt my hand going numb last night I took a naproxen right away to see if it would help the migraine. Well, I still had most of the symptoms prior to the headache, however the headache itself was much less intense (about a 4/10 on the pain scale compared to an 8 or 9). I also did not feel nauseous and did not experience any vomiting. I highly recommend trying naproxen for migraine treatment. It made mine much less severe. I swear by it now."


"I just received my second Vivitrol shot.  I am so glad that I did.  It has helped curve my cravings and have had no side effects.  I've been a heavy drinker for 16 years and have struggled with relapsing for a few years.  I know this isn't a cure and this is a daily disease that should never be put on the back burner but not having the cravings where the only thing I can think about is that next drink helps a ton.  To anyone that is thinking about trying Vivitrol I would say stop thinking about it and do it."


"I've been on Testim for 3 days.  I have no idea if it will increase my T levels or not but the smell is almost too much for me to even care.  I think it smells like an old folks home.  My kids don't want to be around me because I smell funny.  "

"This was my fifth colonoscopy but my first with Prepopik.  Compared to having to consume huge volumes of disgusting fluid in previous colonoscopies, this was not so bad.  The Prepopik itself was not bad tasting--it had a citrus flavor.  I had to drink 40 oz. of water over five hours after taking the first dose the night before the procedure.  About 45 minutes after the first dose, it started working.  When I went to bed, I was concerned that it was not working because I had a lot fewer BMs than with previous colonoscopies.

The morning of the procedure, I had to get up at 4:30 (four hours before the actual procedure) to take another does followed by 24 fluid oz. of water over an hour.  Doctor said I was super clean, so it worked fine!"


"I agree it probably doesn't work for the reasons set forth by St.Amand, but it did work for me (complying with the salicylate ban) in the timescales he finds,  as follows:

3 days of nothing

Then 2.5 days of feeling great

Then 7 months of feeling worse than ever

Then roughly 2 years of feeling much much better, but eventually it tailed off to nothing.  Still the only effective FMS/CFS medicine I've tried except for LDN."


"Due to a recent accident my orthopedic doctor prescribed this for my knee swelling/bursitis condition. I'm a 51yr-old female and after 2-3 weeks of taking this medicine I was experiencing hot flashes frequently about 5X a day especially at night that wakes me up, which never occurred before. I thought I was pretty young to be experiencing this, but this website was the second place where I researched this medicine where it states "works by reducing hormones" that explains my hot flashes recently. I still need to take a few more pills and swelling has subsided in my knee but do not intend to take this long-term."


"Cymbalta has helped enough for me to justify taking it for both chronic pain and dysthymia but do not stop it suddenly!  I ran into a doctor vs Insurance problem and went cold turkey for a week and thought I would die.  Wean very slowly. If you stop this medicine or stop down to a SSRI then eliminate that.  It was the most horrible thing I had ever experienced.  It has helped me though."


"Have been on Arimidex for 7 years as my oncologist says that the trial period has only been up to 5 years and she wants me to continue as extra insurance.  The only side effect that I have noticed beginning about a year ago is hair thinning, and it is starting to bother me.  Three of my friends who had started taking Arimidex the same time I did and who had other oncologists, were taken off the drug after 5 years.  They had noticed hair thinning during the time they were taking the drug and it has reversed since they stopped usage."


"Been taking Tecfidera 2 years plus.  Took Tysabri 2 years prior to that.  Tysabri left me wiped the day of transfusion and tired for a week. JVC antibodies detected so switched to Tecfidera.

Flushing and stomach pains in the first two months were fierce but stomach pains settled. Manageable diahrea. Still flush with burning skin sensation on face, chest,  arms starts 4 to 5 hrs after dose and lasts 15 to 30 minutes. On a good note,  have not had noted change in MRIs sense taking the drug. Optical neuritis in 2013 permanently damaged vision but the loss has stabilized.

Doctors are monitoring my white blood cells to lower risk of PML occurrence.

Recommend considering the drug for relapsing MS after you weigh cost benefits in your case."


"I had the Liletta inserted on the 7th of July (exactly a month ago) - The insertion was fantastic, I literally felt nothing (I previously had SKYLA- that was agony when inserted) Since the insertion I have had a fairly heavy period and have had non stop bright red, clotted spotting. I have also develop moderate to severe cystic acne (i had clear skin before) the acne is all down my chest, chack, forehead and dotted across my face. The dermatologist prescribed an antibiotic, I have been on it a week and the acne has gotten worse. Feeling like the Liletta may have been a mistake? The contraception benefit doesn't seem worth the acne and associated self esteem issues.Considering having it removed... Anyone else had severe acne side effects?"


"After my d&c last year, I had celebrex 200mg as needed for pain daily x 7 days. It was great. Last week after I had an endo-ablation. I was the first one to ask my doctor; for celebrex again. It is one of the best non-narcotic pain medication."


"42 year female; also being treated for MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse)- ongoing & increasing chest pains, tightening/anxiety feeling, heart palpitations, skipped beats, etc. Suggested an anti-depressant to my Cardiologist after a girlfriend shared her Cymbalta story (she is diagnosed SAD). WOW Prescribed 30mg- took 1 every 3 days to start. Side Effects were: dry mouth & extreme stomach pains/nausea but with every dose every 3rd day- NOTICEABLY less...after 2 weeks a 'full' feeling instead of the nausea, no more dry mouth & little/no appetite. Yawning a lot on days I'm not taking it. All the side effects I'm having that others have mentioned and stuck it out AND rated it very high...my ENTIRE mood has been altered. "


"In just 5 days, it cleared up a bad outbreak on my neck and back, which had been

troubling me for quite some time.  I used it before on other areas but this one

cleared up faster than any of the others.  It is the only one that really works."


"This is the first BC I have been on and have been taking it for two years now. I have had no issues with it. While starting I did have the normal spotting until my body was used to it. But after my first two periods I was fine. I haven't experienced any mood swings or pain. If I miss my pill I take it as soon as I can remember and I am fine."


"Caused weight loss as well as major hair loss. I lost four inches or more in hair over a year period."


"I used the meds for 5 days, and although it cleared up my bacterial vaginitis; on day 3 of the meds I developed a yeast infection."


"First of all this so called 1 day medications sole purpose is to clear up an infection in one application right? Well it seems to me this company is making a fortune on us women. My experience is the same as all these other reviews burning, burning and did I say burning?? Oh yea and I forgot to mention its 4 days later and I still have an infection. Now I have to spend MORE MONEY to get another one if I want to clear this up. So....... Now I just made the CEO'S of Monistat that much richer! The company will say " well it says right on the package may not work for all yeast infections!" To me this is just so they can cover there butt's Shame on you CEO'S of Monistat!"


"I was given an injection of Toradol at an Emergency Walk-in Clinic this afternoon after spilling a large pot of boiling water all over my thighs.  I was in agony when I went in; bordering on screaming in the waiting room. In so much pain they triaged me right away before even registering me.  The injection was MIRACULOUS.  This evening I have cooked dinner and cleaned up from it, with gauze bandages wrapped around my thighs and ace bandages holding them up.  I am terrified of when the effects of the shot will wear off.  I have Percocet at home but it's not as good as this injected Toradol was.  This seems like the Miracle Painkiller: all the benefits of narcotics but none of the unpleasant side effects."


"It definitely helps me go to sleep but keeping me asleep is where I run into issues. I wake up just as much as before. some morning nausea for the first few hours but other than that it is fine."


"Abnormal dreams or more like nightmares.  This medication unleashed all of my demons leaving me with severe panic attacks.  Upon awakening I would not know if what I was feeling was real or not.  This is not a drug to use with someone who has severe PTSD."


"I started on 25mg for 7 days and had a few good days. Increased to 50mg and have begun yo feel even better. I'm not 100% yet but Zoloft has been the first AD to have a positive effect in such a short time with minimal side effects. I have tried and had awful reactions to Paxil, tritellix, Effexor, Remeron, Trazadone, Wellbutrin. Cipralex worked but pooped after 1.5 years and increasing the dosage did nothing and maybe I was worse. Clonazapam was really awful. Lorazapam worked for isolated anxiety but only made my anxiety even worse after a while due to tolerance and rebound effects. Stay away from benzos but if you have to take them, don't take them more than once or twice over month. I started taking them daily and this was a huge mistake."


"I was on nexplanon for a year. Let me just say that it was so bad. Sex was excruciatingly painful I gained a total of 60 lbs on it. In the 3 years I've been off of it I've managed to only lose 20lbs. I was  moody and had really  bad depression. Did do its job, yes. Was it worth the side effects, no.
This was my experience on it, however everybody is different."


"I love this med no side effects no problems at all just stopped my massive anxiety problems I was having almost weekly and I mean want to run to get out of my skin anxiety.. Panic attacks to the max"


"It works great."


"Chugged it down   extra water all at once. Bloated. Worked in about an hour - went on for 3 hours. Took at at 2 am per doctors orders including extra water. Worked just about immediately and went on about  2 1/2 hours.  Worried about accidents so couldn't go back to sleep.  After colonoscopy today - every time I eat or drink anything I have an explosive event. Am starting to think there is no off switch to this."


"I have been suffering from a dull and persistent pain on the right side of my abdomen near my rib cage for several months. I had blood tests and abdominal ultrasound with results indicating "normal" appearance.  The pain persisted and I could control it to some extent (not great) with Tylenol extra strength.  Then I asked my doctor to prescribe 10mg baclofen, which I have been taking 3 times daily for about two weeks.  I noticed my abdominal pain eased after 2 days of the medication.  I haven't been experiencing abdominal pain except on rare occasion since I have been taking baclofen.  I feel totally functional and thankful that I don't have to live in pain any longer."


"It's ok but I started to develop a yeast infection after two weeks"


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


"Mirvoaso works...even the bad reviews state that it works in the beginning. You HAVE to experiment to find what amount your skin will tolerate. I have been using it for 3 years & I love it.  Use it on day 1...if you can still see paleness on day 2 do not add more to your face,  wait until the effects have completely gone before using it again. Only use a small amount  ( you need to experiment with that as well). Also,  another great thing about this ( maybe why I have success with it )  is after 2 hours of applying it, I wash it off because it does not mix well with makeup and I still get the same good results  & stay away from redness triggers (sun, alcohol)"


"generic brand at walmart much cheaper and more products worked better than name brand gas x"


"Had the IUD inserted as it seemed an easy, safe option. Low dose progestin dosed directly in the uterus where needed. At 42, the 5 years of birth control sounded great. My symptoms started 2 weeks after insertion which proved painful but manageable. I suffered from horrible fatigue. I had the worst lower back, leg, and hip pain for a couple of weeks. Then the constipation hit. I dealt with that on and off for two months. I suffered gall bladder attacks but the ultrasound and functional tests came back clean. I lost my appetite from the abdominal pain and nausea. Then the depression, anxiety, and panic attacks hit. Hoping to recover. It did stop my periods and prevented pregnancy."


"I've been using the Neupro patch 1% for almost a year. My RLS is severe with involuntary movement of my legs and sometimes my arms when I am in a relaxed position. I have been tested and do not have Parkinson's.

I tried Ropinirole 1%, then Ropinirole 2mg XR. Both worked well for about three years then stopped. I also tried Horizant, but the hangover and break through RLS was too distressing.

Neupro patch seems to work for now. If I've been extremely physically active or had alcohol, I will have breakthrough. I keep 1mg tablets of Ropinerole on hand for such times.

Sometimes I have a skin reaction to the patch. I am beginning to think it may have something to do with diet. The more acidic foods I eat, the more it itches."


"I am very happy I went on Lupron Depot. I am on my 6th month of it and although the symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, moodiness, and some weight gain are not fun, it still is VERY worth it. I have been pain free (when I was in debilitating pain before) and no period which is nice. Hopefully I'll be able to get pregnant soon too!"


"It made me feel like my heart was going blow out of my chest."


"It helped a lot with pain after oral surgery."


"My doctor took me through a number of different medicines prior to starting Oxycontin. I have found that I sleep and eat better on Oxycontin. More importantly I function better on Oxycontin, including being able to care for myself. Since I began taking it my insurance tried to force me to the "generic" Oxycodone ER. Oxycodone made me physically ill whenever it released, it's continued use would have made me totally reliant on outside help as I live alone with closest family over 2,000 miles away. Since the Oxycodone affair we have tried other medicines and nothing works as well without the physical illness. I have ankylosing spondylitis and am looking at chronic pain."


"I've been on lexapro for about 2 weeks. The first few days I felt amazing. I just got a kick of energy and happiness. It felt great. Soon after that I was majorly depressed again and back to my suicidal thoughts. Everything that goes along with depression. Hopefully it begins working soon."


"Hello, I am currently taking chantix for the third time each time was very successful if only I would have followed through for the full period. I currently am on day 5 and no longer smoke. I went from a pack in a half a day to none in 5 days. Slight urges from time to time but its more of just being bored and thinking I need to smoke. If you follow through and ignore the urges by finding something to keep you busy you will be successful but like others have said you have to want to quit!! I am 29 years old with a 2 yr old and have been smoking since I was 12 or 13 if there is a better time to quit its now!! I will admit I have silly dreams from time to time like a shoe being bigger than the other or being in a circus just stupid dreams!!"


"I have had Mirena for about 9 months now. Before I was on the pill with a period for four days. I switched to Mirena because it was just easier than remembering to take a pill. Shortly after the insertion I had severe pain and bleeding. A month later I started spotting then bleeding for over a week. This would occur every couple of weeks. It was irritating but I thought it would have gotten better. Now 9 months later I experience periods for 2-3 weeks straight with constant bleeding. I am fine for a week, and the entire process begins. I am switching back to the pill."


"I gave this drug a 4 because of what it did to me, and what they didn't mention at the time, also because what it did to a friend of mines daughter, as far as a seizure drug and mood stabilizer a perfect drug.  controls most seizure in people. But I was on this drug for over 10 years . No one said it could affect my bone density at the time.  At 29 I got diagnosed with osteoporosis. I am not happy. I have multiple back issues now and spinal fractures. They did not heal correctly and I am in constant pain. I have to be on at least 3000mg Vitamin d3 for life.  My friend is older and her daughter was born with brain abnormalities"


"This medication didn't come close to helping me the way my regular Adderall does. That being said I am going to stick with what I KNOW works but that's just me. Now I've heard others swear by Adzenys & wonder where its been all of their lives which I think is great. Just like any other drug what works for one may be rubbish 4 another. Adzenys is a fairly new drug on the market so of course Drs everywhere are going 2 B pushing it right now. I've worked in the medical field & I've seen Drs promote meds that they weren't even crazy about.. It  just depended on what the drug rep looked like for that particular med & how they themselves were going to benefit by writing the drug. I'm not saying Adzenys is bad I'm just saying 4 me it didn't work."


"infusion #2 and my joint pain and swelling went down almost immediately. I think I have finally FINALLY found the answer for me!"


"I started Gilenya in early 2011 as I had a severe relapse. Beforehand I was on Copaxone but it wasn't very effective and left itchy sore red marks. Gilenya has been very effective as in my lesions have stabilised and have shrunk a little. The downside for me is that if you get an infection or a wound, it takes a long time to heal. You have to keep an eye on it and maintain it if it happens to you as it might get worse. I suffer lightheadedness when standing up and nausea as well. You are more susceptible to colds and flu as well so make sure you ask your doctor for a flu shot every year. The side effects are tolerable. I have NOT had a relapse since and given there isn't a cure for Multiple Sclerosis, this is the best medicine available in Australia."


"44 yr old obese male, started Belviq 3 months ago. Lost already 32 lbs. My doctor says results are fantastic. I am actually typing this from X-Sport Gym. I can't believe how good I feel and how much energy I have after losing the weight. I can't remember last time I was at the gym. I need to lose close to 50 lbs total to be considered at the borderline of overweight, or BMI of 27. I have to comment that unlike everything I tried in the past, Belviq has no side effects, except for the side effect of weight loss! I no doubt eat less and have less desire to overeat. Now enter exercise  and I am sure I will hit my goal. Glad I am a responder. No problem paying for this out of pocket which I do because it works! Back to my workout."


"After 10 years and several other medications, this has been the only prescription that has worked with any side effects. It is a shame more Doctors do not recommend this, a family member and a friend have gone to their doctor and asked about switching and ever since they did, they say it is like night and day!"

"I've been taking this pill for about three months and have gained about 10 pounds. I have no sex drive and I'm so moody the week before my period. I'm going to switch ASAP."


"When first beginning this medication,  I experienced nausea, the first month only.  I've been taking this medication for over a  year now and I'm very happy with it.  No problem with acne at all, just body hair growth.  I don't have any cramping or breast tenderness either."


"My Dr. Just changed me to Lyrica 75mg twice a day vs 300mg of gabapentin 3x a day and Cymbalta 30mg 2x a day for neuropathy (not diabetic). I have only been taking it for 3 days and I can already tell a significant difference. My hands and feet have no burning pain and I seem to have less numbness. I have also noticed that it helps tremendously with my anxiety. I was taking Xanax 1mg 3x a day and now I only take it once a day if that. I seem to feel more relaxed and less anxious so maybe this will actually help me stop taking the Xanax which I've tried so many times in the past. So far I am super impressed with this medication."


"This pill is AWFUL. It made me sad, anxious (never had this problem before), and my skin worse than ever. I feel like my entire personality changed. I quit taking it and am already starting to feel better. Everybody is different, but I suggest looking into others, especially if you already have anxiety to some degree."


"I have Metastatic adrenal cancer and this Calms me a great deal I take 1 mg three times a day and it's enough to keep me calm and not worry about death and leaving my husband and 3 kids and I'm soon to be grandma."


"It didn't make a difference taking Benonatate 100MG.  It didn't help at all.  May as well just drank a glass of water and not took it.  Stupid medicine....waste of my money!"


"After being put on triamterene/hctz with zero affect on my blood pressure and tons of bad side effects my doctor tried 5mg Amlodipine which also did zero to budge my 140-150's/90's-104 blood pressure, and also had several unwanted side effects for me. l researched extensively for days on every known high blood pressure med out there and contacted my MD to say that since neither med she had prescribed to me had a positive effect that l wanted to try a low dose bisoprolo/hctz 2.5-6.25. To my amazement within 24 hours of taking this medicine my readings have consistantly been 120/85 or better and l feel fantastic! :) With zero, and l mean zero side effects as well! l love this medicine. l should be the the poster child for this 1 pill wonder."


"For nerve injury I was taking Lyrica and Vicodin - the only combination that helped (after much trial and error). Then I had ended up with surgery (ovary removal) and Dr prescribed Percocet 5-325. It is a wonder medicine. The first day slightly nauseous, but that quickly went away. I now prefer the Percocet; doesn't make me as sleepy as Vicodin. I break pills in half, spreading it throughout the day to just dial down the pain enough for me to be cheerful and productive but not zoned out. I gave it a 9 out of 10 because it does cause constipation (take Colace OTC)."


"During the first three weeks I was tired and exhausted constantly. It affected me majorly in my daily life and I could barely get up in the morning. Slept 12-14 hours a day, but after 3 weeks the major side effects were gone (except for nausea every once in a while and no libido.)

I didn't feel any change in mood, so I recently changed to Brintellix."


"I have been very happy on this birth control pill for about three years. I am only switching because I want fewer periods. Before I took this birth control my periods were horrible. I had every symptom in the book. This birth control did cause slight weight gain, however I also went on it when I turned 18...so it could have been metabolism slow down as well. My breasts also grew, no complaints here about that though. I don't get cramps, moodiness, headaches, nausea, or severe stomach upsets with this birth control. Also my period is like clockwork every month....until recently when I endured a lot of stress. I do still get slight stomach upset and bloating along with slight fatigue. All in all it is an amazing birth control!"

"I have more breakouts than before and have gained 11 pounds in the first month. On a good note, my periods have become regulated. I also have been moodier."


"So far Gabapentin is working well.  It took about a month and a quick round of Prednisone for it to kick in but I am noticing a marked decrease in the pain. Effexor and Trazodone combined with it has been effective."


"I was feeling generally unwell last week and visited my doctor who did urine dipstick test and told me there were 'white blood cells' found and prescribed Nitrofurantoin 50mg  4 times a day for 7 days.  About two days after I started taking them I had extremely dry mouth, horrendous headache and felt generally unwell as though the parts of my body were disjointed.  I also started to think very disturbed depressive thoughts and prone to tears.  The headache became unbearable and there was no sign of improvement in my condition so after five days of suffering on tablets I stopped taking them and rang my GP who told me my urine sample had come back from lab and it showed no sign of infection!!!!!!  All this for nothing!!!!  I was so upset."


"I was given diclofenac from hospital after 3 days of constant severe migraine.  Within 1 hr I had relief.  I've taken 3 tablets so far and 99% better."


"Six months without a bipolar cycle.  I want to socialize again, date, have friends around, and I'm always in a decent mood.  Amazing medicine.  I take 300 mg of quetiapine with 1200 mg lithium and 200 mg lamictal.  My cocktail works!"


"Holy Hell!  I suffer from chronic constipation, IBS and I have Diverticulosis.  I tried fiber products that you mix with water, chia seed, every laxative and nothing worked "right".  Laxatives gave me cramps and fiber gave me bloat. I took Linzess 145mcg and 30 mins later I literally exploded at least 8 times. Over a month I took it 2-3 times a week, couldn't handle daily. But I did lose pounds. From 142 to 128. It has helped me so much I love it! I've always been thin but my gut was growing. Problem solved. No more constipation! Highly recommend it, but stay close to a toilet."


"I am 29 years old and have been on Buspar for about a year and a half and since I started taking it my sex drive is completely gone. Yes it helps my anxiety but I am too young to have a horrible sex drive!"


"I have taken nitrofurantoin before from different manufacturer and I've never had symptoms as I have now while taking Macro-bid. I constantly feel nauseous, the temperature keeps rising. I also have symptoms like cold, nose is congested, voice is cracking, chest is heavy and sometimes painful. At times it's hard to breath.

However, I felt better after just 1 capsule, so at least the pain of UTI has gone. One problem down and I hope all of the above will disappear as soon as I finish the course."


"This is my first time being on birth control and I've started my second pack a few days ago. So far I have no large complaints. My weight has stayed the same or maybe lost a pound or two. I do feel more stressed, have tender breasts, and less energy but nothing too extreme. No spotting but a regular period. I did start my period 2 days earlier than I was to reach the white pills. Will keep posted if anything changes."


"I just got out of a bad relationship where sex was bad and never happened. I started dating a new beautiful girlfriend and was afraid and had performance anxiety. The first time (sex) was bad and I couldn't get it up and I thought I would lose her. I went to the doctor, gave me Cialis, and went out on a small vacation with her. I was a champ! Never had sex this good and she was amazed, we are currently very in love and going to get married. Thanks Cialis!"


"I am pretty much in love with Strattera. I am a 19 year old female and was diagnosed with ADD around 8 months ago. The difference between my life on and off Strattera is huge. When I'm on it, I am so motivated and focused. I have a plan for every day of my life and, though I don't always get everything done on my list for the day, I at least try to be productive and I at least care about getting things done. When I'm not on it, I am a complete blob. I care very little about being productive and have issues even getting out of bed. Like, I will literally stay in bed ALL DAY. The only persistent side effect that I've experienced is dry mouth. If I miss a dosage and then take it again, I get super drowsy, but that goes away after a day."


"I suffer from sinus infections about every two months that lead into bronchitis within days of the first symptom. Usually I get the Zpack but have been on Augmentin and Ceftin trying to find something that works better. This time the clinic doctor prescribed the Avelox and I am on day 3 right now, my sinuses are draining, and the tightness in my chest is better. Unfortunately I am getting horrible diarrhea now, which is not fun when you are coughing a lot."


"If you take this pill as directed, it will work. My boyfriend and I had an accident last Saturday and I took Plan B about 30 minutes later. I was very worried that I was going to become pregnant, and I basically worried myself sick over things I read online. I had some nausea and cramping but I got my period right on time with a normal flow. Don't worry ladies! "


"I have been on Tramadol for 6 yrs. for herniated discs as well as spondyliolisthesis which causes severe sciatica. It has been a Godsend as narcotics did nothing for the sciatica and are awful all the way around.  It also helps my mood and is a good replacement for antidepressants with absolutely no side effects. The only downside for me is the tolerance factor. I have to take more now for the same effect, 100 mg 2x/day instead of 50 mg 2x/day. "


"I've been taking Tri-Linyah for a few years now, after trying many other pills. On this pill, my acne has completely cleared up and I have never gotten pregnant so I'd like to rate it pretty high. On other pills in the past, I had various side effects ranging from bad acne to insane anxiety, but haven't experienced any of that with this pill. The only reasons I'm not 100% in love with it are because I have gained a noticeable amount of weight since taking it (10 pounds is a lot when you only weight 115 to begin with) and my periods tend to last around 5 days. I had it down to 2-3 days when I was on Microgestin, so 5 really sucks.

It does it's job though, so I keep taking it."


"After suffering from horrible post herpatic neuralgia in the trigeminal nerves on the left side of my face, I went to a neurologist who put me on Lyrica.  A small dose of 50 mg each night keeps my symptoms under control.  I tried adding  a morning dose, but it made me giggle at inappropriate times, so I went back to only taking it at night. For over two years my pain has been controlled well.  One night I forgot to take my medicine and the next day I had a painful attack.  I'll never forget it again!  I'm so thankful for this medicine.  There are so many other medicines that I tried and could not take, but this one works great for me."


"Been taking Febuxostat for 20 months or so. Prior to doing so I had major agony gout attacks every two weeks. First year the tablets activated all the stored crystals and I was in agony, but not as frequent...anyway I stuck with it and have had 2 minor not too painful attacks in the last 8 months...after 2 yrs I should have cleared all the joints and won't have any further attacks. I'm running and in the gym for the first time in nearly 3 years, so feel better all round. Stick with it, is my advice. The only downside has been a reduction in libido, but I'll take that over the agony of gout."


"I had low T (305). Thought I was dying... Slow thinking, hard to recall 4 digits let alone the whole phone number. Almost lost my job it got so bad. Finally saw a hormonal heath man and he said since I was under 60 years old he didn't want to put me on testosterone patch since he tested me an I had whatever enzyme level said clomid would work. After couple months I hit 758 with serume T level much better as well. Clomid saved  my life and job. I don't notice any side effects I could contribute to it. I wish I could motivate my self to workout to take even m ore advantage. I have been on it around 5 years. 6mo on, 1 off. blood tested every 6mo. I read they are starting to approve drugs specifically for men - enclomiphene"
