"I was started on Cymbalta 30mg about 6 months ago. I was increasingly anxious and irritable and quick to start arguments. My presenting complaint was however tinnitus due to jaw clenching!
Cymbalta almost immediately calmed me down. I feel less guilt feelings about everything. I can walk away from arguments unless really pushed - and then just watch out! My spouse thinks I am better for it.
However I do feel rather fatigued and now find it difficult to exercise but once I start I have no problem.
I can focus and work with a less antagonistic attitudes. Sleep is better. Sex is better. No weight problem. I do drink very moderately with no problem.
Missing doses is a major problem: headaches, dizziness, nightmares."


"After my first month on this pill, I have had non stop acne on my chin like I have never had before. Also, I had my period (5 days) and then continued to spot for another 7 days. I don't weigh myself but it is obvious I've gained weight as well. Don't even get me started about my over the top mood swings. I never had these problems when I was on
Orthocept. Even though it has been only one month and it may balance out after a few months, I do not think I will wait to find out."


"I got prescribed this product last August after visiting a dermatologist. Acne was always one of my insecurities and it had gotten pretty bad, but about 4 months of using Epiduo, my face had cleared. The first few weeks are going to be miserable, my face peeled, became red, and hurt to even touch. To help the dryness, I found using Eucerin's Aquaphor completely saved my life. I highly recommend this product, go see your dermatologist."


"This medicine is a life saver for the prevention of bladder and urinary tract infections. I used to get them all the time and they are so painful, but since I started taking Macrobid as a preventive I rarely get an infection."


"After battling a cold on top of a stressful week, I woke up Saturday morning with a tingling spot on my lip. Checked the mirror and saw a little white bump.  I ran to the med cabinet, and took the first dose of Valacyclovir.  I kept an eye on it throughout the day.  It got a little red, but no swelling and no blisters formed.  I took the second dose before I went to sleep and woke up the next day and it was a little red spot, that was it.  It's now Tuesday and it's almost completely healed.  I don't know why I waited so long to use this stuff (been getting cold sores since high school, I'm 27 now).  I don't even bother with Abreva anymore."


"I have hot flashes, stomach issues, pressure in my head/ears when standing, and falling asleep much too easily. "


"I've been reading other people's experiences and I wonder if I'm on the same medication. I am 74 years old, and I've been on Brilinta with 81 aspirin since 2/29/16, when I had 92% blockage in the widow maker, the descending major heart artery. Thankful that I was in the doctor's office when I had my heart attack, I ended up with two stents and Brilinta. I have had no noticeable side effects. I exercise three days a week in our local life center, with both aerobic and resistance exercises, and I have never experienced anything like the excessive fatigue I read others complaining of. Other than cuts or scrapes taking a little longer to coagulate I have had no bleeding to complain about. Maybe the Brilinta I'm receiving is just better."

"I feel like the Skelaxin (Metaxalone) works sometimes. If I am in real pain it does nothing other than make me flighty and unable to realize I am in pain. But, it does not relieve the pain. I am not sure what I have yet because I am going through the testing processes. I would not ever want to be put on this medication again for severe pain because it does not work. I have been dizzy and have loss of memory quite often also."


"I had extreme nausea and vomiting within a week of getting my first and ONLY shot of Depo-Provera."


"Effective, HOWEVER it is gross! I threw up about a 1/4th cup of it each time. I still was ok for my procedure but maybe because I am a small person. The drink was terrible getting down. Then about 15-20 min later the river started flowing and I just sat for 2 hours till it was done enough for me to rest. I had chills, minor cramping, and severe spats of nausea but it went within the first hour after drinking the drink and water."


"3 bowel resections due to crohn's disease, I now have short bowel syndrome with chronic diarrhea.  I have tried every anti-diarrheral drug there is and the only one that has helped is codeine.  I consider it a wonder drug for my condition, enabling me to lead a mostly normal life.  I have taken the same amount everyday for 6 years. I don't feel "high", but do feel slightly drowsy occasionally.  I did have a period of 8 months where I stopped taking it and while I did have some physical symptoms (not mental) in stopping, they were not too bad, the symptom relief I had on the drug far outweighed the negatives. I continue to take and it makes my life easier."


"I have been on Reclipsen for 1 month as of next Sunday, and i must point out that there are some downfalls of this birth control. Reclipsen does work very well as a reliable birth control method as long as you follow the instructions that come with the medication (taking one pill once a day at the same time daily). However, since a few days after I began taking reclipsen, I've been running into some issues concerning painful headaches and acne flare ups. I've been on Ortho-Tri Cyclen birth control pill in the past, & I do not remember having any issues as far as headaches or acne while I was on that medication. Reclipsen is reliable, but do beware because you may receive some uncomfortable side affects when beginning this medication."


"I have been on and off of antidepressants my whole life. I have been on Lexapro for a year and it helped tons. I don't feel depressed anymore but it seems that I don't have a range of emotions.  I always seem somewhat subdued, not able to cry, don't get very excited about anything. I have trouble falling asleep and actually getting good sleep. I guess because of that I am often tired during the day. The sexual side effects are irritating. I gained a little weight but I also quit smoking so that may have had a part in the weight gain.  On a positive note, I am not so overwhelmed with worrying.  I can concentrate much better at school. My irritability has lessened. I feel sane again."


"I'm have been taking Lamotragine and have started on escitalopram for bipolar 2. What an amazing turn around. Where I used to be extremely reactive and explode in to a rage at any little thing I now feel calm and at peace with the world. I have actually started to feel happy. I always suffered from hypo-sexuality and it was so exhausting to be fighting with sexual thoughts and tension constantly. It's such a relief that since being on escitalopram this too has stopped. I now see everything from a much more rational perspective. I've even begun to really "feel" in love with my wife. Sure, it's one big drawback is that it is an orgasm killer, but I'm finding this is a small price to pay compared to all the benefits. It's given me my life back"


"I am 26 and have had 2 kids via c-section. My youngest child is 2 and I have never been on birth control before. I got the Skyla put in about an hour ago. It took all of 5 minutes. Before my appointment, I read all these bad reviews and freaked myself out. The insertion was a little uncomfortable, especially since my c-sections caused my cervix to sit really high so the doctor had to grab it and pull it down. Got it put in during menstruation, as it makes it more comfortable for you. Sharp period-like pain, I said "Oh my goodness" and the doctor said "That was the IUD going in". The end. Don't let the bad reviews scare you. No extra bleeding or cramping, and I feel fine."


"I feel worlds different - I don't need caffeine to get through the day, and low blood sugar doesn't bother me any more.  Yes, I'm even losing some fat, but I think that's because I can go longer between meals and it takes less food to feel full.

The only odd thing is that my lips are unusually dry."


"I started Gianvi after switching from Yaz to another pill that did nothing for me. I used to have an intense 7 day period, extreme cramps, migraines, large pimples, and crazy mood swings for no apparent reason. Gianvi has changed all that. I do still get cramps and mood swings, but both are very muted. I have much smaller breakouts and the migraines are gone. I get a very light bleeding during my period, which only lasts 2-3 days. HOWEVER, I miss my period (the bleeding part) often. I still get the other symptoms at that time. Personally, I love Gianvi. I feel much freer to do things like drive because I know I won't be suddenly doubled over in pain behind the wheel."

"Suprep is far easier than the jug of prep I had 10 years ago! First dose at 6 p.m. No way to expect this to taste "good." It's medicine. It's unpleasant, but not impossible. Things kicked in around 6:45-ish and didn't slow down until 9:00-ish. I was in bed at 10 and got 6 hours of decent sleep. Second dose at 5:45 a.m. Harder to get down. Felt nauseous and had to use "mind over matter" to get it all down. Felt bloated with some cramping and gas after drinking all the water. 2nd dose kicked in around 6:15 a.m  and slowed around 8:00. I was able to check in for my procedure at 10:45 a.m. with no "accidents" on the way there. It works, but it's not "fun."  Plan to camp in the bathroom, prepare mentally, and consider yourself cleansed!"


"UPDATE: so after i wrote my first post about avoiding lemon etc. although my cystic acne was gone I was still getting deep comedones under my cheekbones (where you would contour). My forehead had completely cleared up but I thought that maybe my birth control may have something to do with my acne. I switched from alesse to yaz and saw results within the first week. I'm now just finishing my second month on yaz and my third month on biacna (canadian version) and my skin is completely clear!!!! I have had acne since grade six with differing waves of intensity and would recommend this combination to everyone! Good luck!! xo"


"I have been taking this medication for several months along with Viibryd for depression and anxiety. This has really helped with my depression almost immediately but I have gained 14 pounds in 2 months with exercising! I have decided to stop both medications and try something new when I see doctor on Friday. I can't handle the weight gain not worth it to me."


"I was hospitalized for a week because of a bout with diverticulitis. As a result, my intestines , so I was told, stopped pushing waste through. I was constipated for 3 weeks! My doctor gave me samples of Linzess. It was a miracle! I began having bowel movements on the first day! Some mild diarrhea, but I'm going and there is no cramping, no aches, no bloating. Amazing. I have had constipation issues for years, but not any more! I highly recommend trying it! Thanks Linzess!"


"I have been taking this for years and it really keeps me from having anxiety attacks and helps the bipolar somewhat. "


"The 6th day I took it out. Usually I am calm and pleasant to be around. This stuff made me hateful, I was violent and intolerable. Depression and anxiety were a big issue. The day after I removed it with it still in my system,  the depression got worse and I was having suicidal thoughts.  I am NOT that kind of person but this hell ring turned me into an emotional nut job. I do not recommend it at all."


"I have Bipolar 2 plus Panic Disorder. I started Vraylar about 10 days ago and have had a wonderful experience. It has made my days feel more stable and helped keep me calm at night when my panic attacks come. Looking forward to healing more and more.

FYI my cocktail is:

Lamictal

Amitriptyline

Ativan

Guanfacine (motor tics)

Liothyronine (hypothyroid)

I'm not sure yet if insurance will cover the expense of the drug, but for now I'm maxed out on my out of pocket for the year, so it's free. I guess I'll find out in January how much it will really cost.

Reading reviews of this drug really freaked me out at first, but now I'm so glad I tried it. Give it a try for a few days!"


"I've always experienced generalized anxiety disorder but after 6 months of Ritalin for my ADHD the symptoms of anxiety worsened a lot, specifically evening/night, when ritalin starts wearing off.

I was experiencing racing thoughts a lot and to leave the house to do something outdoor was struggle.
My doc put me on Risperidone at 1mg day at night.
I'm on it for almost 1 month now and it has been helping a lot. No more racing thoughts, a lot calmer, start sleeping more easily.
The only side effects that I had were decreased sex drive and eating a lot at night (which actually is good for me because with Ritalin you are never hungry).
Would def recommend."


"I got a hernia from lifting a suitcase we suspect. The hernia was inguinal . At the same time I had a smaller one in the abdominal wall . It was untreated for some time ( over a month ) as I didn't notice it . I'm not sexual. The doctor said this is not uncommon in males over 40 . Discovered all this after an ultrasound .Non sexual Epididimitus , from urinary infection .  Rx Cipro , immediate abdominal bloat , sluggish and exhausted feeling , and Nausea . 2 Times / po / daily ... Ugh ...research into WHY is needed"


"My dr. prescribed these after my father whom I had taken care of for years, died.  My drug addict 30 yr. old son moved in, and I was not sleeping for days.  They worked wonderful!  I have been taking them for a year now.  a 30 day supply last me 90+ days.  I only take them if I feel I am not going to be able to sleep.  My son has since moved out, but now, my husband is bed ridden, and it is me who works 40+ hrs. a week, and does everything, that has to take care of him!  My dr. retired, and my new Dr. refuses to give me any type of sleeping pills.  He actually told me to take benadryl! unbelievable.....tell me to take a different one instead of something I insist I need.???

should I shop for another dr?  I just may."


"This is my second go around with this birth control the first 3 years I had NO period or spotting the entire 3 years. It was amazing. The second implant I've gotten was not so much the same. I don't get periods but I do get spotting. It's usually at the beginnig of the month or not at all. It never last more than a week and it's so light I sometimes forget it happening. The only side affects that I have noticed are acne and mood swings. I'm due to have it removed in December of 2015, however I'm probably going to get it removed sooner, due to the acne. I can't take it anymore!!! After 6 years on nextplanon I will more than likely resort back to the pill."


"I thought I'd throw a positive review out there. I've read so many negative ones. I'm 19 years old. I've never had children, so getting it put in wasn't very pleasant, but not terrible. I got the Mirena because I was bleeding for almost a year straight, very heavily. The only negative side-effects I've had so far are bloating, cramps, and moodiness, but they went away after a week or so. I've had no weight gain whatsoever. I've actually lost a few pounds...Yay! My sex drive has actually gone nuts (in a good way), and my periods have stopped! That's the main thing I'm happy about. I was tired of bleeding all the time. I'd recommend the Mirena to anyone."


"I had the worst pain of my life and thought I was dying.  I went to the ER and they found a 4mm stone on my left side.  They prescribed Flomax and pain meds.  I will say the stone was barely in my ureter when this ordeal all started.  The Flomax is recommended for bedtime dosing because of the possible side effects of drowsiness, dizziness oh and I get a stuffy nose. The original stone passed in 3 days and I had no idea because there was no pain.  I also had a second stone on the other side form and it passed on its own with no pain.  I like Flomax, for me the benefits out weigh the side effects!"


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


"I have general anxiety disorder. I see a therapist weekly. She said I suffer from anxiety and depression. I lost my best friend in Jan and it triggered my anxiety and depression.  I'm a stay a home mom of 2 kids. Daily activities became a hassle and I stress and worry so much now. This past week I've noticed a change for the better but I felt I was still battling it. I had bad tension headaches and went to my Dr and he gave me 25 mg to take for a month. I took one almost 2 1/2 hours ago. I started yawning and became tired. I'm laying in bed now and feel awake. So far it seems to be working. I feel calm and not stressed. I'm hoping it works like it has for everyone else."


"Have been taking Lisinopril for almost a week now, so far so good my readings before meds was the highest at 173/99 now running normal low in the morning and average in the afternoons. Working out 5-6 times per week lost 12 lbs so far. Not really into meds like that would like to be off completely in a few months. Headaches from time to time, or more like pressure in head. Muscles aches, but maybe due to working out(body is not used to being taken care of) trying to quit smoking as well, cause bp to rise. Drinking about 10 cups of water per day, add lemon for flavor. Over all happy as of right now.  Read some of the side affects, will  be on a look out for them as well."


"Great.  It works well for pain but does  not last as long as I'd like.  I can't take  hydrocondone which make me itch and sometimes break out in night sweats."


"Positive mood changes after using for several weeks.  However, on this medication sex drive is practically non-existent for me (Male)."


"At age 38, I had a Mirena inserted. It was uncomfortable and I had spotting for the next 2 weeks. My doctor informed me of this so the bleeding was expected. I have been having light periods every 2-3 months for 6 days. This month after a year of having the Mirena, I have the never ending period! It's been 3 1/2 weeks and counting and I've got the most horrible cramps. They started before my period and I need to take Advil daily to get through the day. I have no idea what is going on after all this time. Is this normal?! My doctor kept telling me I'd be so happy and satisfied by this and have less bleeding and likely no
periods. I'm going to see her in a couple weeks but I'm really starting to wonder if this is the birth control for me."


"I have been taking Norethindrone for 6 weeks now, even though I don't get the heavy period with excruciating pain it is annoying having period for 6 weeks.  I am 38 yrs old and have been suffering with endometriosis since I was a teenager. My gyne told me it can take up to 2 months for bleeding to stop. I have an appointment with my Gyne in two weeks and will definitely ask for something else if bleeding doesn't stop."


"Sorry I got the shot and have been excessive bleeding for the past month and a half I'm not happy about it guess it keeps me from getting pregnant because I can't have sex"


"The packaging is too much. Too much foil that rips and cut your fingers when you’re trying to tear one of the applicators off, which does not come off evenly ever. On at least two occasions there was no tablet in the applicator, therefore useless. One time the applicator didn’t have a plunger and I could not get the tablet out to insert it manually. Never ever had any of these issues with Vagifem."


"I've been taking Lamotrigine for close to a year now, as a alternate for my previous seizure medicine.  I am able to continue using Depo birth control, and although there's a small chance I get slight insomnia, it works quite well for me. Two a day, 100 mg each."


"Personally I used this for 6 years then changed to Percocet then to M.S. Contin where I am at now but this is over 15 years. If not abused this will remain effective. Everyone is different so I can't say how quick change would be needed."


"So if you're on here reading these reviews then I'm going to guess that you're stressing about because you think you might be pregnant. I was in the same boat and it was the most stressful time of my life! Pretty much what happened was me and my boyfriend had sex but the condom broke and he came inside me completely, I also had no idea if I was ovulating or not because my period is so messed up so I never know. I was taking birth control for about a week when this happened but I did have a few slip ups with taking my pill on time (I've gotten a lot better at it). We got the plan b and I didn't take it more than 20 minutes after the incident. I'm over the 175lbs by a few pounds or so but it was still effective!!!"


"Have found this medication very helpful for insomnia.  Fall asleep quickly with no side effects in the morning. Using 5mg dose."


"Seems to work for everyone but me.  Quality of life was seriously affected by the on-going dizziness from this product (20mg). Elevators left me weak-kneed and staggering at work. Daily descending stairs also a vertigo nightmare. Blood pressure can easily go into 214/105s in emergencies, so I would like to find something to reduce those numbers, without the extreme dizziness. I work in a psychiatric setting, so I have to be alert and to move quickly without falling on my face. I didn't notice any appreciable drop in blood pressure either, with numbers still in the 170s most of the time."


"I have been on Campral for over a year now and wish that it worked for me as well as it has for others. Unfortunately I still want to drink every day and did so daily for at least four months on the medication. "


"I took 1 100mg Macrobid at 12pm today for a UTI. Felt bad around 6, so I went to lay down. Around 9, I woke up with extreme chills to the point my teeth were chattering (I'm a very hot-natured person), horrible muscle cramps, nausea, fever, and even hallucinations. I seriously thought I was dying. Thank God my mom called the pharmacist and he said not to take another. It's 12am now, and I still have a fever, and a horrible headache and body aches. AFTER ONE PILL. Don't take this medicine, y'all. It should be banned. I feel like I was poisoned."


"I just started  Stelara 5 weeks ago. It is amazing! I had plaque psoriasis all over my body (50%). 98% of the Psoriasis is GONE. I only have some small spots left on my elbows and knees where it was really thick and crusted. I don't have dandruff anymore. I can wear shorts and short shirts now. This is awesome! So far, no side effects.  I am so grateful to the folks who made Stelara. Check with your insurance. I was thinking it would be too expensive, but when I checked, my insurance covered most of it. You have to work with Specialty Pharmacies to get it in my experience. Most Pharmacies have them, but there is usually only 1 location where it is."


"Had back surgery in 2000. 3 rods 6 screws and bone put in L4 L5 S1. Had severe pain for 12 years. No sleep, ( 3 1/2 to 5 hours a night). No energy, seldom in good mood because of the pain. Sometimes down for 3 weeks at a time. Began Butrans 10 mcg last year and man what a difference. First week was getting 7 hours sleep and pain level went from 10  to 1 or 2. Has been that way for the last 11 months. Now getting blisters and rash at application site. Going to doctor this week. Hope he doesn't take me off. Really not looking forward to the return of a painful life."


"So far I've been loving the way this med has effected my depression and anxiety! It's helping me function normally. Things have gotten a lot better since taking rexulti and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with MDD. I can only hope it continues to work for me! I've had some minor side effects, but nothing terrible."


"I had no symptoms of GERD, but a nagging chronic cough that seemed to originate from the back of my throat, not from my lungs. It would occur suddenly and without any warning. I could get relief from popping a Hall's cough drop, but my cough was so frequent (about 20 times a day). I was also clearing my throat all the time. My voice became gravelly at times, too. My co-workers were giving me grief over this cough. After trying several medications, my PCP referred me to a gastroenterologist, who gave prescribed Zegerid. I took 40 mg twice daily. My cough improved over the next 3 days, and disappeared. It has been almost a month. However, that nagging cough is beginning to creep back, along with the throat-clearing and gravel-voice."


"So far so good, I had been smoking for around 19 years, left smoking last month, its been 25 days, few side effects like excessive sleep, earthquake like feeling, slight irritability in the evenings, rest all is fine. All those old time smokers should try it, the side effects mentioned in lots of google forums are not true and more important...all of them don't occur to one  person. Compared to the side effects the benefits are better...."


"Have had good results so far. Am week out from third injection on left knee. Plan to start series on right knee next week. Injections were painless except for last one. Definitely ice knees after injections and don't over do activity for a couple days. Think that's why third was more painful. I am 64 with severe osteoarthritis and moderate rheumatoid arthritis. Know replacements are inevitable, but want to enjoy as much as possible until then. Good luck everyone!"


"It helped my depression tremendously, but lost its effectiveness within 5 years."


"Worked great for day and night time relief! Went from a wicked dry cough to hours of cough-free rest. Its awesome and very effective."


"I was curious about Viagra for a few years every time my doctor asked if "everything is still working". I finally asked for a prescription, and wish I had asked sooner. My wife and I are in mid-60s and Viagra is making me totally dependable in the bedroom again, several times per week. Wife cuts 100 mg pills into quarters, which makes the cost bearable. Planning a session ahead of time adds to the excitement. It is great to be rock-hard again, and my climaxes are more intense. No side effects, except increased sensitivity to sunlight and a bluish tint. I highly recommend it to any guy who thinks he needs help."


"Tried several consecutive doses of guaifenesin syrup as an expectorant in the later stages of a cold.  It may have lessened coughing slightly for a couple of hours after each dose (hard to tell).  Definitely no detectable effect on the amount or consistency of the mucus I coughed up.  But the syrup does taste very much like medicine, so the placebo effect is great!"


"GREAT GEL! I have BIG problems with BOTH KNEES, this has worked very well. Better than taking oral medicines, goes right to the problem area!"


"I'm sure these would work well for preventing pregnancy but I'm a virgin and have no desire to have sex, I'm on it for my extremely heavy periods. This pill has done absolutely nothing for me. I waited it out until now. I'm on the 3rd month and I've already bled through 2 pairs of underwear and shorts on day 1 of my period...it's exactly the same as my flow was before and my cramps are just as bad too. This pill is literally useless if it's not going to help my periods. On the upside, I don't experience any side effects at all, it just doesn't do anything at all for me, good or bad."


"After the IUD was inserted I felt some mild cramping and was spotting for a couple of hours. Its only been a week and I have had bad cramps and I have been light headed almost everyday since the insertion. Besides the cramping Skyla does its job!"


"I took Gianvi for about a year for my PMDD. Since doing it I noticed a very uplifting change in my mood and irritability. I was no longer aggressive and I didn't burst into tears at least once a day before my period so that is a definite improvement. I went off of it, changed it to Loryna and then changed back to Gianvi. Right now I have horrible cystic acne from switching around my medicine but it works wonders on my hormones which to me is the important part."


"Stay away from sharp objects!! 2 months on 37.5MG Effexor - feels like my attention is limited to a single train of thought. I can't do more than one thing at once without risking personal injury. Clumsily shredded myself bloody more than ever in my life while on this med. Doors and fridge cut my feet open because I literally cannot pay attention to the fridge door if I'm looking at the contents of fridge or don't see screen door closing on me while carrying something in from outside. Haven't been cooking much but the one time I tried I burned green beans in the pan. It makes me sleep 16h/day. If I get up before 2pm I can't trust myself to drive. 2 close calls were enough. Social anxiety is worse than before. Only 37.5 MG!! Need a change"


"This birth control has worked very well for me. I've tried 3 other oral contraceptives in the past (all for 3+ months each) and I tried the Skyla IUD for 6 months. All of those ended up absolutely ruining my body, my clear skin, and my moods. I became borderline suicidal. My OBGYN recommended me this brand due to its low hormone levels and the fact that it is mostly estrogen based. I've still been having some spotting still 5 months in, but that's my only real complaint. My skin has stayed clear, my sex drive is normal, and I haven't gained any weight. The fact that it's SO EXPENSIVE sucks though. $37 per month...I wish I could get it free like the other forms of birth control I've gotten in the past!"


"I never had any weird side effects with this pill. It did what it was supposed to do, and I have no complaints! Would recommend!"


"I have been on Reclipsen for about two years now and am switching off of it. I was previously on another birth control that was to low of a dose when I switched over to  Reclipsen. Although it has prevented pregnancy the mood swings and weight gain have been enough for me to finally get rid of it. My periods and cramps were also still seven days and severe."


"I take 10mg 3 x daily for cervical dystonia and it has helped me a lot. I also go for regular botox injections in my neck and the baclofen takes the edge away and makes it bearable on an everyday basis. No apparent side effects although I have become forgetful."


"I've had appetite loss, I would take a couple of bites and I appear to be full .I also walk two miles everyday after work, have not weighed in, because it's only been a week."


"After being on the combined pill for 5 years to help my menstrual migraines, a well informed doctor told me that I should have never been taking the combined pill if I have a migraine with an aura because apparently it can cause a stroke.... So I switched to this pill, and haven't had a migraine since!!! (Been taking it for 7 months now) The only thing that holds this pill back from being a 10, is that 1. You have very irregular periods. When I first started taking it I had a period every 2 weeks. But since then they have become few & far between. 2. You need to use back up protection due to this pill not being as affective. But other than that, I love this pill. I even lost some weight when I started taking it!"


"Before getting pregnant with my daughter, I had heavy somewhat regular periods that would last 7 days or more. After giving birth, I chose the patch at my 6 week checkup. I was on the patch for 7 months and it worked just fine but I wanted something I didn't have to keep taking. So, I decided on nexplanon and the last 10 months I've maybe had 2 weeks without my period. Very effective since I can't have sex. I just got it taken out and got the mirena instead and I'm hoping that works better for me!"


"I started taking Adipex because I was tired of my stomach sitting in my lap to make a long story short. I started out weighing 205lbs and in 4 months I was down to 167lbs losing a total of 39 pounds. I love Adipex along with taking the pill. I took the B12 shot and Lipo birth control pills. I feel great."


"I am 52 years old and have suffered from neuralgia mostly in my feet and legs.  It got so bad I could not fall asleep at night.  I take 50mg morning and night.  I read all the comments and reviews on this and other sites. They made it sound like a miracle drug and I agree. Finally I had some relief. I am having trouble with swelling and had some weight gain.  It has been worth it."


"I was on Gildess for about 11/2 years. I was only on it that long because I thought my body would eventually adjust to it. I was wrong. I had my period every two weeks. I can't take this anymore and therefore I just got the paragard put in two days ago.  I pray this is the birth control that I been looking for. My doctor seemed to think that hormones were not agreeing with my body and since paragard is hormone free I would probably do well with it. I pray he is right."


"Had Mirena inserted about 4 months ago. Although periods are milder there is spotting frequently throughout the month. Sex drive has decreased dramatically and have gained close to 12 lbs. I feel no discomfort with the Mirena IUD, however am disappointed by the side effects considering at 40  metabolism has already slowed down so this does not help."


"I used Hypercare in the past, but stopped using it. I decided to use it again yesterday because I have been sweating a ton. Well, last night it was itchy and burning my armpits. I didn't sweat today though! I just put it on about 15 minutes ago and the burning and itching is much worse. It hurts so badly. I am only using this until I can get to the dermatologist to get something that won't hurt so much. "


"I got the liletta today Jan.16th 2017 and first off the pain was out of this world. I have a daughter and had a c-section and this pain was way worse than I could imagine. I was sweating and shaking and they tell you to breath but that didn't help.It felt like it took forever for it to be inserted. Than after  dilating  my cervix she needed a bigger tool they use to  dilate the cervix. I really felt like it was a never ending process. I have had slight cramping and hardly any spotting so hopefully everything goes well"


"Ok started Suboxone 2days ago no cravings at all for others I was taking 5-6 Norcos a day for 8 yrs . One day got up said I'm tired of depending on a pill to get me through the day . So started Suboxone. I'm happy as far as the craving goes but for some reason I'm having a hard time staying awake if I sit down I fall asleep my mind feel very scattered and I had a bad headache today . I hope this is just getting used to the meds . I am only on 2 mg so I don't think it's too much . Any comments would be appreciated . Thanks"


"I've had the implant for about a month now. When I first got it I felt great nothing major changed. I still haven't gotten a period but I did experience minor cramping. Now that it's been about a month I'm experiencing major depression from it. I've had depression and anxiety on and off my whole life but I have never felt this bad. Somedays I literally can't get out of bed and it's scary. I will probably get it removed if it does not get better soon."


"My 19 year old son has been on Accutane for 4 months now. His face is much clearer but his 2nd month blood test showed his blood triglyceride levels had jumped from 120 to 730 (that's really high and bad). It's a rare side effect that tends to happen to people who may be genetically predisposed to diabetes and high cholesterol. He changed his diet from mostly junk food to a low fat, low sugar one so he could continue on Accutane, and his doctor put him on medication. Two weeks later and 10 pounds lighter his blood triglycerides were down to 65. His face continues to improve, he feels great, and has learned to really enjoy healthy eating. Moral: get those blood tests. The life you save may be your own."


"I've been using Epiduo for two months now and it doesn't help at all. It burns my skin and dries it out so bad! It gets flakey, red, and very irritated. It feels like a horrible sun burn and it looks like you take horrible care of your skin. It stings to put anything on it, even water.
It DOES do it's job though, dries out the acne. BUT I still see the redness, or dark browness of the acne. It's so annoying, ugh."


"I started 60 mg of Axiron on 30 Oct it is now 12 Nov. I feel like a gladiator, a warrior. I'm 48 this month, Blk Man, I weigh in at 264 lbs, 5-10, yes that's big but I have lots of muscle mass on me as well as fat. I checked my blood level before I started it was at 175. I never would had thought my Tlevel was low because I've always been a beast in the sack, but I did have the other symptoms.  I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week now and lift moderately. My body swells up like I was 20 again. My mind is a lot sharper than without Axiron and the sex life? Let just say I have to chase the wife down and still have mega energy. Only about 14 days in and I can see outlines of what's about to happen in my body. WOW! I am satisfied totally."


"After resisting having read American Black Box warnings I was finally persuaded through my consultants actual experience with the medicine - that and having 6 operations/ colostomy and the disease still beating me. I was exhausted and unable to walk/do anything other than essential basic necessities - if that. I have had three infusions of Remicade so far along with steroids for peri-anal fistula, Crohns, at two weekly intervals and I have some shade of a life back. Immediately after the medicine I am very tired. I have headaches that last for about four days at a time/paracetamol doesn't touch them. I get bad cramps in my legs especially at night and occasional mild flare ups BUT NOTHING like before. Stress plays factor in starting my flare ups."


"It would be nice to use this product, but being self employed with $6000 deductible you want to charge me $700.00 for a tube of this stuff. That is criminal and you should be ashamed of yourself."


"I had my first experience of Restless Leg 18 years ago, having to get up about twice a night. It was not until I had to get up 10 times in one night I sought medical help. A very compassionate lady doctor put me onto Paxam which dropped my having to get up to twice a night. I have been on it ever since taking two tablets of 2 mg every night an hour or so before going to bed. It is not often I get a full night sleep and so I go for a walk until my leg sorts itself out. Some nights I find that after my walk (Which I recommend) I sleep in my comfortable arm chair for the rest of the night.
At the age of 87, I may as well take if for the remainder of my life."


"27 years old - I  was really nervous to get the Kyleena IUD inserted. I was told it might cause some pain but to take 2 advil beforehand. The actual procedure only took a couple of minutes - similar to a pap with a really bad period cramp at the end.
I went on my lunch break but could not go back after work as I was in a lot of pain and dizzy. The cramps were extremely bad for the next 4 days and finally started to get better after day 5. Make sure to stay on track with your Tylenol extra strength and also a heat pad. I got my period 2 days after so I think thats why the cramps were much worse for me. It has been 7 days since I had the IUD inserted and I feel much better. More energy and light spotting. I would definitely recommend."


"I have had 3 surgeries regarding my spine. 2 neck operations, 1 low back discetomy. I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. I have elected several times to go without the medication to see how my body responds on other over the counter medications. Nothing worked. I also tried alternative medication prescribed from my pain management doctor to see if that would work, it did not. I have been taking Lortab 7.5 for 6yrs now responsibly and without it I have very poorly controlled pain."


"I was diagnosed with ADD about ten years ago. I was prescribed Concerta by my doctor and it wasn't an easy transition. I got tons of work done and all, but it killed my apetite during lunch hours and as a result I lost weight. As time went on I got more used to the medication and I've since regained my weight (for the most part, I've still got a high metabolism and as a result gaining any kind of weight is difficult for me) and can still focus on my schoolwork. Part of this can be attributed to getting older and all, but I think the medication has certainly helped. For reference, I'm a 6 ft tall guy who weighs around 125 lbs."


"Linzess is awesome. I love it! I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation, I have had for years and nothing worked. I have been miserable. I used to take zelnorm and it worked good and they took it off the market. My stomach felt like clogged pipes. I have tried everything. My doctor prescribed linzess to me yesterday. I took 1 last night at 9:30 and by 11:30 my stomach was churning and I got up and went to the bathroom and I totally cleaned out with no pain. I never want to be without this, it works. I have a waist line now. I give it a big 10. Thank you."


"Okay, so before going into my appointment to have Skyla inserted I made the decision to read through reviews on the Internet (reviews on the pain associated with the implant being put in). Firstly, I will say that some of the reviews I read scared me to death. Then I would read some that were reassuring saying pain was not experienced. So here's my experience: the implant wasn't painful but was uncomfortable. I would describe the experience as a severe cramp. It lasted for only a few seconds. I do deal with severe cramps while on my period so I think I responded better to the progress of having it placed. Also, I had it inserted while on my period, therefore my cervix was more open. That way the IUD would go in a little more easily."


"I got on Celexa about 5 months ago. The reason was stress. I went to the doctor for a routine physical after turning 30. He was going through a checklist of questions and when 'stress' came up I was like absolutely. Just married, new house, new baby, trying to elevate myself in the professional world --- all wonderful stuff but challenging and stressful. He prescribed Celexa to "take the edge off." It did just that. Nothing major, but you can feel it for the first few weeks. You're just a little more chill. It makes it difficult to get angry (i.e. road rage never happens). I took it a few months then I stopped. Didn't notice any side effects from getting off it. Didn't feel it anymore after a few months anyway."


"This medication is incredible! Like the other reviewers on this site, I suffered from severe sweating since I was a young child. After using this medication, I found that my sweating was reduced by 90%, if not more. The very mild side effects, a tingling or itching after using the medication, is well worth the piece of mind and joy of living life sweat free. There are still times when I find myself a little sweaty, but over all I am incredibly impressed with this medication and it is life changing. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a sweating issue.

Heads up - this medication can take up to a few weeks to fully kick in. You also have to play around with it to find out how much you need and how often you should reapply."


"Seems to work best when I control my eating habits and give my injections at the scheduled times (twice a day)."


"I took as dr told me and no results have I had. They didn't even take edge off so I doubled up and still nothing. And I haven't taken any pills in years since  my last surgery. These are crap"


"Have had migraines since I was in my 20's. Like many have said I was given Toradol, Cafergot, Darvocet, birth control pills, Elavil, Inderal and nothing worked. Have had to go to ER at least 2-3x yearly over the years. Twenty years ago I had a severe neck injury and closed head injury after a car accident and my migraines went from a monthly occurrence to daily. I was also given the nerve block shots at the base of the skull. My ER visits increased to several times a year. Finally, a co-worker who also suffered from migraines asked if I had ever tried Excedrin or been prescribed Fioricet. I hadn't, so I asked my doctor and he wrote a script for it. That was 20 years ago and I haven't had an ER visit since. I am 60 now."


"I've had migraines for about 10 years.  They run in the family, unfortunately.  I've tried a lot of other stuff, and also Imitrex.  Nothing helped at all with my bad headaches until I was given Zomig by my doctor.  I've tried both the ZMT and the regular swallow tablets.  To me, they are the miracle pill.  Just this morning I had a severe migraine, one of the worst in a while.  I was ready to go to the ER, it hurt so bad.  I took a Zomig, and about 20 minutes later, I could feel the effects.  I took a nap, and woke up without the migraine and was able to come to work today.  I still get drowsy during the day, but it beats having the migraine ruin my life."


"My daughter was diagnosed with precocious puberty at age 7. She takes the shots every 3 months and has been doing so for 2 years now. She had slight armpit hair, slight public hair and breast buds. The shots did not stop puberty but slowed it down. I do recommend it. Her height has increased and we hope to stop the shots when she turns 11."


"Best tablet I've ever been given for severe muscle spasms.
Did make me very groggy, fell asleep sitting up at night numerous times as couldn't stay up past 8pm."


"This is an evil little pill!  The first time I took it, I became very irritable.  The second day, I was so angry that I screamed at my children for the smallest things.  The third day, I start to itch all over and got a headache.  The fourth day, I was so volatile that I screamed at anyone who dared look at me.  I called my doctor who told me to push through.  The anger became so bad, that I thought I was going to hurt someone.  I've never reacted like that to any medication and quite frankly, it scared me and my family.

As soon as I went off of it, didn't even wean myself off, my mood started to even out some."


"Usually works well but this time,  I'm on my 7th day of a Migraine.  I've
had migraines the since I was 13. Now 43.
My biggest problem is I have Fibromyalgia all day when I have to take it. ..especially more than one time in a 24 hour period. ..
I can hardly move.  My Body is sensitive to EVERYTHING. Water, Pressure, touch,  even pressure from laying in bed or sitting in chair.
It is excruciating.
I go from a constant daily pain level of an 8 to a 10.
It usually lasts about 3 days after I stop taking it.
But, Zomig,Relpax,Imitrex,Midrin...all of them do it.
I think it is all Triptan Meds.
I can't get rid of this for nothing and am violently vomiting and my Body hurts so so bad that I don't know what to do."


"I've been on the Nuvaring since about August and I love it!  I'd been on and off the pill for about 4 years and hated it.  I was on it for about a month before switching to the Nuvaring and it was awful.  I got sick everyday and just didn't feel like doing anything.  My doctor suggested Nuvaring and I went for it.  My periods are predictable and so much lighter (I only get it for a couple of days before I put in my new ring).  I haven't had any weight gain, except for my breasts got two sizes bigger.  My acne cleared up, though I do break out when I get my period.  I don't have to worry if I've forgotten to take my pill or if I'm taking it at the same time everyday.  I have my cell alert me when it needs to be taken out and go back in as well."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"This vitamin is awesome! It helps with my nausea, energy levels and constipation. I absolutely love them!!"


"I started with really bad nausea and sick to my stomach when I went to my GI doctor I was diagnosed with due densities and chronic gastritis. I was so sick with nausea twenty four seven I literally felt like I was going to die. I actually told my GI to prescribe me Nexium 40 mg. My GI was hesitant but I insisted took it for a about a month and half and on my second endoscopy my chronic gastritis had  gone down to mild gastritis and the nausea is almost gone. Nexium really helped me  I don't know about the side effects since I took it at night. But the nausea was still persistent it's just now going away. I can tell you this is one of the best medicines. Stops the acid production by 95 percent something I had to find out on my own. Good luck."


"Reading all these reviews is really helping me get through this terrible burning/itchy feeling. Def helps keep my mind of the pain.I'm on day 2 of the monistat 3 and within a couple minutes of inserting it I was screaming and crying like a baby. Finally fell asleep and woke up a few hours later to use the bathroom and it's still uncomfortable. But the good thing Is while using the bathroom after wiping I didn't see any white little chucks anymore so I know the medicine is working. But it's super uncomfortable. I can't wait for this to be over with."


"After 20 years of marriage, I have found myself in the midst of a terrible divorce. I spiraled downward quickly and scarily into a deep, dark depression. I have no history of depression or having to take any anti-depressant type medicines. I was at a point where I was almost unable to function and was suicidal. I realized how severe a crisis I was in and started researching for FAST help. I found Pristiq. I have always been a skeptic, to say the least re: antidepressants, but I must admit, this medicine absolutely saved my life. The only minor side effects were feelings of "zoning out" and a headache for about 3 days on 2nd week. NOTHING SINCE. I'll take that over my inability to function ANY DAY. "


"Being in the army the stress level is always there day and night. Then one day bam hit me like a bullet, got real dizzy, light-headed, heart racing. In reality it was an anxiety attack. Out of all the stuff I've been through this is the one that scared me. After, I ran to the docs at the hospital they gave me Lexapro. Been on it for two months now and I feel fantastic. Still a little tight in the chest and small heart beat skips but still on track and loving it."


"I am in school so I was limited to the birth control pills at the school's health center. I have been on this pill for about 7 months. Last month I didn't get my period and had to take two pregnancy tests, which were negative. Most of the months my periods are very, very light and only last one day. I really hate not knowing if it's the pill or if I am pregnant.  Since starting this pill I get horrible night sweats, bad enough where I have the fan in my window blowing cold air into my bedroom...in the dead of winter.  I notice more hair falling out, horrible mood swings, sore boobs, increased appetite, water retention, ahhhh!  I feel bad that my fianc"


Influenza virus vaccine, live, trivalent

"My 10 yr old daughter had the flu mist for the first time usually she gets the injection,  but her doctor ran out of the injection So I said ok give her the mist. NEVER AGAIN!! We will stick to injections from now on. She got the mist on 10/9/15 & the next day she woke up with pain in her legs and weakness of her body & a  bad cold, sneezing a lot & muccus, but by night she was coughing and stuffy trouble breathing.  The only reason she had no fever was because I immediately gave her motrin 400 that her doctor gave her. I don't like the mist & that's the last time she will get the mist.. If you're here looking for reviews to see if u should get the mist or shot the best advice I can give u is stick to the shot, "


"This drug has changed my life. My migraines used to leave me in pain for days along with vomiting, sensitivity to light etc. the nasal spray works within half hour and usually provides full relief. I cant even believe it- migraine gone. Leaves me w a sore throat but i dont mind it. First couple of times it made me sleepy but i got used to it.  Zomig allows me to move on with my life instead of living my life in pain. If you are debating, definitely give this a try!"


"So I read a handful of reviews before making a decision. I just had my son 7 months ago and finally decided on the Skyla. The reviews scared the heck out of me. But it wasn't that bad. Yes you do feel a bit of pressure and cramping but it's bearable. I took some ibuprofen and went about my day with my crawling munchkin. Hoping I don't jinx myself. But so far so good"


"Seriously messes with my emotions so much. I already live with anxiety & depression and the Depo just makes it so much more worse! I hate it. I get pissed off at things I shouldn't get pissed off at! I have all the period symptoms (cramps, emotions out of whack, retaining water and horrible craving for sweets) and irregular bleeding. I'm gaining so much weight and I'm not even eating unhealthy, I have a strict diet and workout and I stil gain about a pound or 2 every 2 weeks. Do NOT recommend the Depo to anyone. This sucks."


"I have had grand mal seizures since I was 9 years old and was involved in a car accident. I have taken Dilantin for over 50 years, with good results. It has controlled my seizures pretty well until recently. I was diagnosed with COPD 2 years ago, and in that time, I have been having seizures every 3-6 months. My doctor switched me to Keppra 6 months ago, and in that time, I have had at least 1 seizure a month. I think it's time to switch back to what works."


"Since Epiduo is a retinoid like every retinoid epiduo reacts with your skin for some weeks, like 6-8 weeks after which the original results start showing up. Please don't give up since you break out more than before that's a normal thing while using epiduo. I have been using this cream for more than an year now and my face is all clear and scars have faded too. This cream was prescribed by my dermatologist and works wonder in a long run. Don't expect over night results though."


"The very first 3 days of taking Mononessa I always feel very nauseated. Mood swings aren't that bad. I crave a lot, breasts are always sore. Period's are pretty normal, cramps are kept to a minimum. I am sexually active and so far no pregnancy. I've noticed there's more vaginal discharge but my sex drive is pretty low. I told have as much acne. So far this pill has been going great for me. Side effects depend on the person."


"I usually never give reviews on any products but this is something Women need to know of before even going on this pill!
I have been on a lot of different birth controls in the past, I have never in my life experienced such a HORRID birth control in all my life. The pharmacy ended up giving me Zarrah 21 instead last time I filled my prescription & for the 1st month I thought 100% I was pregnant! I was getting "morning sickness" & gained probably about 5-10 pounds just in the first month and I am completely exhausted and lethargic almost 24/7 now. Honestly I can deal with the sickness & the little weight gain but the acne! I have never had acne in my life but this is unreal...its painful and horrible all over my face!! Dont go on this pill!!"


"Works Pretty well. Yet Its Terribly Hard To Stop The Pill. Horrible WithDrawls"


"DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT.  IT IS NOT EFFECTIVE.  After my second child I chose to try this option for birth control it was extremely uncomfortable being inserted and after a year and half found out that it had migrated into my stomach and I needed to have surgery to remove.  What kind of protection is this?  "


"Absolutely horrible! Had slight burning sensation when I first inserted that evil evil egg and the external cream, wiped the external cream off right away and I went to lay down, about an hour later I had to pee, immediately after the egg inside must of burst and I swear I felt like fire ants was all up inside my vagina, flushed out as much as I could with warm water, feel about 50 percent better but still feel burning sensation. My hooch is now completely inflamed, about to put ice pack on and take a Motrin and pray I'm not going to have issues at work tomorrow. Never ever again!"


"So far I'm loving this medicine my only problem is with sleep but most people have that problem while taking this medication. It took me months to finally convince myself to get on meds. Wish I took this sooner. I feel normal again, my life can go on now."


"I'm allergic to morphine, Demerol, and several other pain medications. I took Toradol for severe neck and shoulder pain. It worked. I had a little upset stomach but took an antacid, and it went away. It worked better for me, because of me being allergic to other pain medications. It also worked wonders after surgery. It should not be taken for more than 5 days, and use caution if you have kidney or liver disease. Use caution if you are using a blood thinner. It also did not make we drowsy, fast heart rate, or dizzy."


"Ambien is awesome. Take it and wait 15 minutes. Sleep and thats all. It's great. If you can afford it Ambien CR is a lot better."


"I had very bad hormonal acne after a week of taking these pills. After 2 months I can say that my skin has never looked so bad in my entire life! I had to go to a dermatologist and switch back to my previous birth control pills (which, I thought, were not so good... but now I realized that they were wonderful compared to Lo Loestrin Fe!...)"


"I have severe headaches in the aftermath of stroke. Due to my left side being affected, I cannot sit comfortably. This causes back pain that sometimes brings me to tears. I started with 300mg three times a day. It was just increased to 400mg three times a day. It gives me a lightheaded feeling that makes the pain easier to deal with, but the pain is still there. I also take Tramadol 50mg to supplement. "


"Had a continuing cough and had to stop taking."


"I'm on 5mg Abilify with a combination of Wellbutrin and lexipro medication therapy. Having no side effects. My sugar levels are within normal range and my BMI is at 23, normal range. I've had nothing but success on this medication. Previously, having to try numerous medications Atypical and second generation antidepressants, the regimen I take now has significantly decreased my symptoms of wanting to harm self and severe depression (isolation, poor self care, etc). This medication is awesome! I would definitely recommend to others."


"WORST experience ever!  Took pill as instructed, but it would just make me feel like sleep was about to begin and then I was hit with a bout of intense anxiety, this cycle repeated all night long.  These horrible side effects ended about an hour before I was supposed to wake up. HORRIBLE experience, threw all the pills away the next morning, now my MD gave me Belsomra, just read reviews about the night terrors  and sleep paralysis.  Only thing that really works for me is valium or xanax but doctor keeps pushing these dance meds."


"I was in a clinical study for Xyrem for fibromyalgia.  I hated having to wake up to take the 2nd dose.  Was afraid of being addicted to the medicine.  It did not significantly lessen my pain.  I had suffered from sleeping problems for years and was really afraid that I would have horrific problems sleeping once I stopped the medicine.  But to my surprise it seemed to have forced my body to break the insomnia habit.  I haven't had sleeping problems in the year since I quit the drug.  Used to wake at 3 am most mornings and not be able to get back to sleep or have trouble getting to sleep.  Now I sleep from 11 to 6 usually - no problem.  So I am grateful for that."


"My 89-year old father was taking this med for a few weeks. He was weak (we had to pull him out of bed or out of his chair, he walked with a walker, was confused, just totally not him. He happened to have a urinary infection about the same time so we blamed that.

Finally, a week later, infection gone -- and was still so weak. Hospitalized one day, many tests, and nothing found.

Started to take half the dose of Entresto, per his cardiologist (we asked since that was the only thing different at this point)... in five days, back to normal. No walker, no need to help him get up, alert and living again!

P.S. His primary care doctor said he doesn't prescribe Entresto... its two powerful drugs. He isn't the cardio guy, but... beware!"


"Today was my first day on Vyvanse 20mg and it was incredible how much it helped my ADD symptoms! I felt motivated, confident, energetic, and very focused. I was able to complete a ton of school work in such a small amount of time. It feels like I get zoned in when I work on things, even if they're things I don't enjoy. My vision had major changes which was weird because it was like my eyes were finally opened?? My vision was so bright and colors were EXTREMELY vivid, it was like the whole world around me was alive. Effects of the medication started after just 10 minutes of taking it and it really kicked in about 1 hour after that. Would definitely reccomend."


"So I wanted to take the time to review this birth control, I had tried several before this one & none of them were the right one I would bleed days at a time through out the whole month on the other brands. Then one day my dr. told me to try this one, I read so many reviews & they were bad I was terrified to try it but you don't know until you try right? Well this is my 4th month on chateal & I couldn't be any more pleased. No weight gain, spotting, or mood swings. The only issue I have sometimes is bloating & breaking out but it goes away. If you struggle with break through bleeding I definitely recommend this & push the bad reviews out of the way & remember everyone is different."


"This drug does nothing for me no matter how much I take."


"I took Effexor XR for about 13 years.  It worked fine. I just went off it VERY slowly in February so that we could try and get pregnant.  Pregnancy did not happen an panic attacks came back.  I went back on Effexor and it is like a different medicine!  My vision has gotten so bad that I cannot drive.  I am sick all of the time and I have constant diarrhea.  One of my pupils dilated.  I find it strange that the same medicine won't work for me as before.  I have been on it now for 5 weeks.  "


"I have fought depression all my life-60  years. I have tried pretty much every medicine available. My care provider put me on 40 mg Viibryd and 100 mg Lamotrigine. After about 6 weeks I woke up and could face the day. I have the desire to live and no longer have to try to pull myself out of a deep pit every day. "


"I started taking Sprintec October 2016, this was my first time on birth control so I did not know what to expect. The first few months were normal as if I wasn't on anything. However, I did start gaining weight and my periods started coming later than they were suppose to. I started feeling down a lot more often and it totally killed my sex drive which sucks because that is why I started taking it BUT it did do its job so I can't really complain."


"I am taking Septra for an infection on the tip of my nose. Day one was horrible. Nausea, fatigue, and vertigo {felt like a flu}. That lasted one day. Day 2-7 has been without issues. I take it with a meal and a good 12-16 ounces of fluid. 3 days to go and I expect that will be fine. My infection appeared much better by the 4th day."


"I suffer from severe ocd with awful anxiety producing thoughts causing me to fear leaving the house and socialising. this medication whilst not stopping the thoughts allows my mind to forget them quickly and see them for what they are.

I have gained weight on these but after stopping them and losing the weight I had to restart them again. I tried Prozac (highs / lows) and fluvoxamine (unable to sleep) for a month each but they had no effect on anxiety. Although I have gained back half the weight I can function again and I am truly grateful to sertraline for that. My brain could "feel" the effects of the others but I cannot "feel" sertraline. I just feel more balanced and I notice when it is time for my next 175mg dose. not a cure but helps"


"Had extremely active colitis, was hospitalized and given IV Cyclosporine as a last resort. Started feeling better within 2 days. Was in hospital for 8 days and feel amazing. That was 5 months ago and still feel great. Slight tingling in hands and feet and extra hair growth but nothing you can't live with to feel better. Best medicine ever."


"I gave a 5 (for now) just took my first dose of 75mg (to take every 8 hours)
I will update the score once I've been on it a little longer.
I have noticed in the reviews that just like any medicine it works for some people and not others.
I'm actually posting regarding the concerns about the cost of the meds.
First, discuss this concern with your doctor. No medication will work if you can't afford to pay for it!
Or to take smaller doses so you don't have to shell out $ you don't have.
I would recommend checking with the manufacturer for discounts, or sometimes getting a medication at no cost.
I'm not sure what is available for this manufacturer.
There are a lot of pharmaceutical companies that have patient assist programs. Good luck."


"I'm writing this for people who I know are probably trying to find relief in this reviews, and I did the same thing so I'm gonna offer my experience to help them out.  Me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex, I was nervous so she took the Plan B about 26-28 hours and then the terrible waiting began. About day 7 and 8 she started spotting and cramping and then finally, on the 9th day she got her period. So relax, because this pill is very effective."


"It took away my acne in a few days. but it made me nauseous when I took it on an empty stomach. My insurance covered it partially. But I didn't want to take it too long and become resistant to antibiotics."


"I've been using victoza steadily since October 2016. I've had no side effects and along with diet my A1C has dropped from 10 to 6.9. I've lost almost 30 pounds as well. My only complaint is that there is waaayyyyyyyy too much left in the pen when it's reached it's last dose. I'm on 1.8mg. This is an expensive Med even with my discount card and my insurance. There needs to be away to get almost all of the med out. Too much is going to waste.
I take lantus as well and because of the unit measurement of the drug I'm able to use an insulin syringe to get all of my medications ( that's expensive as well). I hope this issue can be solved eventually. It hurts my heart and pocket to see that medication wasted. Thanks."


"In March 11, 2011 I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. My oncologist prescribed Tarceva one a day 150 mg. I had the normal side effects; diarrhea and rash. Both were controlled, the rash was treated with antibiotics and the diarrhea just went away by itself. I understand this pill is a maintenance therapy pill. It seems to work well on me. Tomorrow, April 18 is my appointment, had an X-ray yesterday. I still have to know the outcome, but I am already feeling well. I had toracentesis before my diagnosis due to pleural effusion. Reading the posts here in this site gives me positive hope that Tarceva works well for patient's with NSCLC."


"Am about halfway through H. Pylori treatment on this medication, have noticed trouble sleeping, fatigue, and dizziness. Also, be very careful if you take benzodiazepines with this medication; it can greatly increase the side effects of sedatives like that."


"I switched to this birth control after being on the same one for 7 years. I changed because my other one was giving me extreme headaches when I went to the sugar pill. Trinessa has given me horrible breakouts and I've always had really good skin. The main reason I will be switching is because of my horrible mood swings. I am annoyed and irate 24/7. It's horrible. I'm going to go back to higher dosage of pills to get my hormones under control."


"I've had IBS-D for 25 years.  Was always told there was nothing the medical community could do about it.  So I suffered through it and took lots of immodium.  So when I saw advertisements for Xifaxan I was so hopeful.  Saw a new GI Doc and he immediately told me that this med was the best hope for IBS and that it's effectiveness was terrific.  So I was so very, very hopeful this would work, and it did,,,,for the 14 days I was on it.  The day after stopping my 14 day regime my extreme bloating was back and within a week my symptons were exactly as before.  Now after 6 weeks my symptoms seem even worse.  Going back to the Doc in 6 weeks.  Will see what else might help.  Good luck to all of you!  It's a terrible disease to have to deal with!"


"I was prescribed propranalol for two reasons: cough & anxiety. I had been on metoprolol for at least 15 years for high blood pressure. This new med is a win-win-win for me since it has helped my chronic cough PLUS it does a better job for my hypertension PLUS it has reduced my anxiety level. I have tried almost everything available for anxiety, most of which are highly addictive (benzos) or have a great number of side effects (SSRI's). I will rate this again after I've been on the med for 5-6 months. "


"Was given Z pack for Bronchitis. Didn't really help with it. Made me have diarrhea. Made me sick to my stomach, terrible metallic taste and sinus mucus. It was like it was  toxic on my system. I also got a bladder infection after taking it. Probably killed all the good bacteria in my gut. Never again."


"VESIcare did nothing for me."


"I am NEVER taking this brand of lax again. I took one pill around 6 p.m. and around 5:45 a.m. I had the worst cramps ever! I wanted to vomit and I  ran to the bathroom and had such bad diarrhea. This is the second time this has happened with taking only one pill. The 1st time I was sure I had bad Mexican food, but nope its the laxative. The pain was so unbearable! I'd rather be constipated forever than go through that again. I recommend taking Metamucil with 8oz of water twice a day or fiber supplements.  It takes longer for your body to get on track, but it doesn't hurt."


"Awful. I had such high hopes for it. I expected to bleed for a bit before it tapered off and regulated. I was willing to wait it out until the hormones were in my system. I bled for 5 months. Not heavy, but enough that I'd need a light tampon. I also started shedding hair at an alarming rate.
Pro: Not pregnant (it's easy to not get pregnant when you aren't having sex though, due to constant bleeding)
Pro: Not ultra tampon heavy like I was on paragard
Con: Nonstop bleeding, bad clotting, all the damn time.
Con: Hair loss"


"I had been a 1-1/2 pack per day smoker for over 30 years. After a stage IV cancer diagnosis - very ironically not associated with smoking - I had to quit as it would have a detrimental effect on surgery recovery and follow-on treatment with radiation and possibly chemotherapy (radiation burns in my throat in particular). A medical oncologist suggested Chantix and after having attempted to quit several times in the past, it was finally successful. I only needed to use the Chatix for four weeks. In a month I was done and have been for over six years now. On very rare occasions I can taste tobacco and nicotine in my mouth, but there's no physical or mental cravings. No side effects of note for me; just ability to quit that had failed before."


"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."


"Horrible. These eardrops didn't work at all. 7 days later and I'm still miserable!"


"Works very well with clearing up my nasal congestion but I took it at night and I am sleepless and jittery."


"I have been on this pill for a week now. I am starting to experience some dizziness and nausea, but the # 1 side effect for me is definitely an increase in appetite. I also noticed my breasts are getting fuller. Acne is clearing up which I do love however I have been noticing I've been having diarrhea. I am not sure if it's from the pill but that's the only concern I have. I will probably contact my doctor. But other than that, I don't really have any complaints about this pill. Oh also I feel super dehydrated lately."


"I’ve been on this medication for 2 years now, when I first started taking it it made me sick to my stomach after about 4 months I was fine. It helped me a lot I’m anemic andIi was also having periods for 2-3 weeks straight and then 2 days off and then it started again. My periods also made me pass out and throw up I could work out with my sport teams or run while I was on it I would get dizzy and a lot of the time pass out  or have to leave school because of barely being able to stand at school. Love this but everyone is different."


"i am in the UK and taking this for a colonoscopy at 1.30 pm today. Took the first litre at 6.30 pm yesterday and it worked really quickly. I don't send a straw to drink and drank it all in half an hour. Up at 6 am today for the 2nd lot which is harder to drink -  maybe because I really want a cup of ta and a biscuit!! Just starting my last glass now and having to intersperse with plain water but it really isn't that bad. Don't believe all the horror stories."


"I had my copper IUD placed while I was on my period.  Your uterus is dilated during your period making insertion easier. The insertion felt like the onset of birthing contractions and it lasted about 30 seconds to 1 minute. I have read a lot of reviews where girls bleed for weeks after insertion. My doctor said that usually only happens if you are coming off of certain types of birth control, but the IUD should not be the cause of it. He was right. Prior to insertion I was not on birth control for a very long time. I had a heavier period after insertion and I cramped a bit that day.  My period lasted for my usual amount of time.  I had relations about a week after with no complication with above if not average size and he did not feel it."


"Luckily had no side effects on this antibiotic. I made sure to take it with a big meal each time though, so that might have helped. I was put on Bactrim for a previous urinary tract infection and it was horrible. Nausea, felt like I had a fever, increased my heart rate etc. I'm glad I found this and hope I can take it again if I get another urinary tract infection. The only thing I noticed was that it brought back a weird cough I usually only get after a bad cold. My doctor calls it a bronchial spasm. It hasn't gone away after having been off the medicine for 3 weeks, but it was so mild compared to when I get it with a cold that I can easily deal with it. "


"I started about a month ago on 37.5 and want to stay there after reading some of the entries. I feel much better even on this low dose and recommend always doing the lowest dose you can. "


"I have been on generic Lexapro for approx. 3.5 months. I suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks on a daily and I was unsure as to why. I kept asking what is triggering this? I suffer from hashimotis thyroiditis and that is my only explanation. I constantly felt like I was gonna lose my mind.

First week of starting I was even more anxious, by month 3 I felt GREAT, forgot what it was like to have anxiety. I felt so good that I decided to not take it one day, BIG mistake. That was 4 days ago  and I feel like when I first started taking the SSRI. I'm so anxious and had a panic attack last night. Minds been racing. Has anyone ever experienced this? Will I feel good again?"


"I am a 26 year old female.  I started Lexapro 10 mg a week ago.  I have experienced nausea, dry mouth, headaches and fatigue.  Rated it a 7 because I don't think I have been taking it long enough to notice any huge differences.  I do feel maybe slightly more calm and a little less blushing.  Here's hoping things get even better!"


"Put on this for suspected Diverticulitis after amoxicillin. Day 1 saw no real improvement except a slight lowering of my temperature though still too high and a decrease in my runs to the loo. The downside, the pain. The stomach cramps were bad enough from the diverticulitis but coupled with this became borderline unbearable. Paracodol was the only thing to ease the pain.
Day 2 I started noticing the pattern, as well as the vile taste in my mouth, which woke me Repeatedly, and the thirst. I also noticed the nausea hit hard about 10 minutes after the tablet, retching, belching etc. Also came the poops... again... the only think I could do was take paracodol and try to sleep it off. Which brings me to the dreams... vivid, erratic and scary."


"I have been on Plaquenil for several  years , first the generic Plaqenil has no coating to protect your stomach lining. If you have side affects first try brand . I know Dr. s Say there is no difference ."But" composition of the drug may not affect the effectiveness of drug but it will affect the way it is absorbed in your system. Which will affect your side affects."


"I am befuddled as 2 all the negative reviews of Senna-Lax on here.I don't know if people r taking over the prescribed amount on the bottle.But you should only start w/ 2 of the 8.6 tablets (to start off) @ bedtime with a glass or 2 with water.You will have a bowel movement, maybe several the following morning.It takes about 8-10 hours to work.Sometimes, I will have a cup (but no more)of black coffee.Yes, u will get some cramping & have 2 go several times, but that means it is working! I would much rather put up with a days worth of minor cramping, than suffer with constipation, & toxic stuff sitting in my system.The reason u are going alot, is because it is removing all the "backed-up" waste that has been sitting in colon, &it's a laxative!"


"Most allergy medicines have not helped me at all. I decided to try xyzal.  I could tell a difference after the first dose. It doesn't make me tired like benadryl, so I guess it depends on the person.
And since everyone is different, I don't understand why people say not to waste money on this product. Just because it didn't work for you, doesn't mean it won't work for others."


"I have been off Depot for almost 6 year so and I have several side effects from this shot that don't think will ever go away. It has really messed me up in don't know if anyone has the same issues I get severe migraines monthly and a rash that itches like no other where the injected the shot in my butt every month right before my period starts. It's really annoying. I am wondering if anybody else is experiencing the same kinds of things that I am. I have a lot of pain in my hands I get tingling in my hands and my feet."


"Am female veteran that served in Afghanistan and Iraq in the Navy. I got out in 2003 and have been going to the VA ever since. I have post traumatic stress disorder and extremely bad panic attacks.  At least 3 to 4x's a day. I can't leave my home; I'm paralyzed with fear. At first the VA came up with the right combination of
QUETIAPINE and 3MG Xanax Daily. I was able to go back to work as a correctional officer at a Georgia state prison. I was happy and my kids were happy.  Miracle. Then the VA Mental Health Center at Dublin canceled all Xanax for everyone last January 2011. In the last year I have lost my job, friends, kids. I'm scared all the time. I have on slots of panic attacks and can't leave the house anymore.

"


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


"I was very nervous to use the IDU, I have been on the pill for three years and never had a problem. My period would last for 2 days sometimes 1 and be done. I wanted to try it because I didn't want to have be taking the pill everyday anymore. I was very nervous because what I have read. I finally had it done; It was the worst pain I have ever felt, it only lasted about 5 minutes and I had taken 5 200 MG Ibuprofen 45 mins before, but it hurt so much! After that I took more ibuprofen and it felt a lot better as the day went on I had more and more pain, felt dizzy and had horrible cramps and couldn't sleep from how bad it was! Was going to go get it removed ASAP! The next morning all pain was gone and I was back to normal!  Now loving it!"


"I have lost 30lbs on this medication. I started on the low does for 2 weeks then started the high does. It is a bit expensive, insurance does not cove this and it went up to $141 from $131. Make sure you get the rebate card/ coupon. There are some side effects. My hands or feet will start to tingle randomly, anything carbonated.. forget about drinking it, it all tastes flat. My doctor told me it will change the taste of chocolate but right now chocolate still tastes the same! I don't crave sweets as much when I take the medication month after month. I haven't had it in about 2 months and I let go. Gained some weight but I'm back on it. I highly recommend working out with this medication and eating healthy and you will see a huge difference."


"The Medication Stopped my psychosis cold, dead. It gave me my life back and has been the only thing that worked. Less weight gain, Fatigue, and Sexual side effects."


"I'm a big eater and I can't empty out as fast as I load up. Sometimes I'm on the road waiting for the next rest stop. And when I get there, usually nothing happens. This is why I love the Fleet Extras, you can carry a couple in your pocket and they are ready to help you when your only chance is that one stop along the interstate for the next two hours."


"The suprep was repulsive. It took over 1.5 hours to get the first bottle down. Not vomiting was a struggle. The taste is like sea water and just hard to tolerate. Adding ice a helped a teeny tiny bit. It did what it was supposed to do. It's effective but tastes horrible. Unfortunately I vomited up the second bottle and was turned away for my colonoscopy because my discharge was still very dark. She told me it should be the color of urine. She sent me home with magnesium citrate which made all the difference in the world. It's a liquid that you don't dilute. It's like very bitter 7UP. It was much easier for me to get down and stay down."


"I had terrible toenail fungus for many years. I participated in a double blind study of Diflucan for toenail fungus, and it was like a miracle. Month by month the fungus disappeared. Each month, I had blood work done. There was never a change in my liver function studies. It has been 10 years and the fungus has never reappeared."


"Gained 15 lbs in a few months and unable to lose despite exercise and diet...terribly depressed...lots of breakthrough bleeding.
Been off the pill a week and lost 5 pounds and finally feel normal again. I am mad it took be 6 months to realize this pill was causing so many problems."


"Ask your doctor to prescribe you Desoxyn. It will change your life. I have had ADHD since I was 14. I am now 36 and I have tried almost all of the medications allowed to try for ADHD and found that Desoxyn had the least side effects of any of them. I know they have to list lots of side effects, however Desoxyn helped me concentrate, made me feel like I was ready for whatever the day was going to throw at me.  This medication is a lifesaver and a miracle. It had less side effects than the other ADHD medications."


"Diagnosed with breast cancer Nov 2013, double mastectomy, chemo, radiation therapy, Oopherectomy. Side effects, leg cramps, disturbed sleep, palpitations, hot flushes, muscle, joint and back paid, hair thinning, nausea, fatigue, increased appetite. Breathlessness."


"Nizoral is purchased over the counter and is much cheaper than Cloborex.  Most importantly, it works best for me as a shampoo.  Cloborex, T-Gel, and Nizoral were all suggested by my dermatologist as options.  I tried each for a month and went back to Nizoral.  It's reliable and affordable.  "


"Been using this medication for almost 2 years now, absolutely no side effects. Even noticed an improvement in general nervous system and HRV with the meds. Huge difference from the ritalin and concerta which gave me various allergic(increased body temps, skin issues) and "intimate" issues. No such issues with this medication. Using 60mg most of the year, but 30mg in summers, since I don't need that much when there is no requirements to what I need to get done. Lowering dose also helps with sociability for me, whereas higher doses gives me extreme focus and drive to stay on task."


"This was for a bowel prep. Liquids 2 days before and it still didn't work (about 85% cleared) ...until it didn't stop after the procedure. Now 4 days out from colonoscopy I'm still having bms reminiscent of the prep itself and I've had the most severe stomach pains I've ever had in my life- and I have a disease which is known for causing pretty damn bad cramps. Apparently doctor says this is "not unusual". Also, this combination of potassium, sodium and antifreeze came to my insurance's max out of pocket copay. Kinda ridiculous.

Never. Again."


"Has made me hypertensive."


"I was having constipation issues and hard stools that wouldn't come out due to Medicine I was on for bladder infection. So I went an got a fleet enema and took it within a second of taking it, I was able to go but it hurt cause the plug wasn't closed and the stool had to break free of that and once it did everything came out. It left me sweating alot and minor cramps in my stomach while using the bathroom but after like 5 to 10 minutes cramping stopped and I felt better. Fleet is good but if your poop is so hard it hurts when it does finally come out."


"Literally right, took this and I was on the loo for HOURS. Straight away a steady stream relieving me of my constipation. The toilet was never the same again. Best thing if you're constipated "


"Prozac (fluoxetine) I have been taking 10mg every 3 days for hot flashes for 2 years now.  It has worked very well for me.  I also don't have the mood swings. When I was taking 20mg everyday it was to much, So I talked with my doctor and changed it around.  If you are having problems you may be taking to much.  Talk to your doctor I did and I feel great."


"This drug has changed my life,  Almost eliminated the obsessive thoughts,  still have the occasional bad episode but they have reduced 95%"


"Started taking 100mg one year ago for mild post partum depression.  It really helped me for the first 6(ish) months and I definitely felt a change.  I started feeling depressed again (several life "happenings") so my doctor increased my dose to 150mg, which I have currently been taking for going on 4 months now.  I've been feeling depressed again and am at the point where I either need to increase my dose (again...and I'm already on a high dose) or switch to a different medicine.  I think I'm trying the latter. Some of the side effects I have experienced:
insomnia, extreme fatigue, slight weight gain (10 lbs over a one year period...active young mom, so very weird for me), increased depression, headaches."


"This medicine helps with my schizophrenia, calms me down but that's about it. But the worst things about it are the freaking side effects! Look I took this medicine in first grade for irritability, took it again in middle school now I'm 20 and started back up again a few months ago..it makes me soooooo sleepy that I'm falling into things, I get severe panic attacks and I'm hungry as hell hence why
I gained 11 lbs. Oh and I have this funny, unbearable feeling in my right leg and it's sooo uncomfortable omg! But on the other hand its not as bad as latuda or haldol but its worth it i guess"


"Went on it for acne on my chest and neck. It helped that but then it made my face break out like I've never seen. 30+ pimples (mostly by my chin/mouth). It made me so incredibly moody too and break through bleeding for 2 weeks and I just said NO and stopped it. Would never recommend this to anyone, EVER."


"I have been taking Crestor now for 1 year. I have been experiencing right leg/hip discomfort. It bothers me most at night when I turn in bed. I have lost over 20 lbs (dieting) and my liver enzymes are slightly elevated. I think I may need to cut it back to 5 mgs."


"I was diagnosed with precocious puberty when I was 8 and started getting a lupron shot once a month. It stopped all signs of puberty except the mood swings which often worsened in the week before I got a shot. After 3 years I was taken off the medicine and started puberty normally. I had continued to grow taller throughout that time and am now 5'1", my grandmother and cousin both had precocious puberty as well and neither were treated, they both stopped growing around age nine and neither reached five feet."


"I have unipolar depression with occasional manic symptoms.  For 20 years I was on antidepressants but started Quetiapine about 6 months ago in conjunction with Citalopram.  When I reached a daily dose of 300mg I was feeling great mentally.  But the side effects of constipation and tiredness made it difficult to stay on this medication long-term so I'll be trying lamotrigine next."


"I live in the high desert of Central Oregon and have sensitive skin problems on my fingers and thumbs due to the elevation and dryness. I have found that by wrapping a piece of the tape over the end of my finger or thumb overnight helps heal the red soreness.  It is much better than any of the lotions.  The only problem is that it sticks to itself and thus can be difficult to cut and apply."


"I used this med along with Cardizem-Lasix was supposed to also help control serious swelling in my feet from the Cardizem, in addition to aiding in controlling my blood pressure. The only issue I had with it is that it made my eyes burn very badly by making them very dry. I have dry eyes anyway, so that didn't help. It also didn't control the swelling in my feet, but did help with blood pressure."


"I have recently begun taking hydrocodone/ibuprofen to deal with severe lower back pain. Although, I do not use it on a regular basis... It is a blessing when my lower back problem flares up. Unlike some medications that I have been prescribed in the past (Medications that I  personally decided to discontinued the use of), hydrocodone/ibuprofen enables me to perform my duties on the job without any effect on my ability to remain focused and alert. In my line of work, you can't have a misstep."


"This medicine really works. I lost 20 pounds in 3 months. No side effects at all.  I also quit smoking with it.  I recommend trying it."


"Please read this. I've battled anxiety for a long time and when I had a recent bad time with it I needed extra help. Was prescribed Lexapro 10mg once a day. I'm a big hypochondriac so taking new medicine is a painful experience for me. The first week was tough, just adjusting to the meds but by day 4 I literally felt like I had done a 180 degree turn around. It works and I felt great. Unfortunately after about 4 weeks I broke out in hives and had to discontinue but I highly suggest for anyone battling anxiety. Zoloft was horrible. I did have withdrawals from both meds - the brain zaps but was asked to increase my water intake and that help flush it out. Had withdrawals for about a week."


"Stick with the medicine, it truly does take 6-8 weeks for your body to adjust. I take 75mg in the morning (keeps me up at night with RLS) and my anxiety is under control and I am able to go on with life and my day to day activities. The side effects I had in the beginning of being tired, RLS, yawning excessively...did go away with time and now I experience none of those things."


"I was prescribed GABA by my doctor for insomnia. I find it does help to keep me asleep once I get there. I agree it doesn't put me right to sleep however I find that it does allow me to relax my brain and body so they're not going 100 miles an hour which then allows me to fall asleep. I was told to only take it if I had 7 or 8 hours dedicated for sleep so what I found was this. When I take it and am allowed to sleep a full 8 hours before getting up I feel great in the morning. If I take it and have to get up in 6 hours I'm disoriented in the morning and vision is blurry. So with that being said and knowing it takes a couple hours to fall asleep after taking this I've learned my time table of when I take it where I get the best results."


"I had to rate Accutane highly, as it did exactly as advertised. I lived with chronic cystic acne for most of my teenage years, and went on Accutane at 20. Six months of treatment, and my acne was gone. I'm 37 now, and have not experienced any long term side effects other than having my acne cured. I tried many medicines to treat the condition, but this one flat-out cured it. I would not have thought it possible."


"I've tried almost everything for psoriasis in the past. It was an extremely embarrassing time in my life. I was at the point that I was going to ask the doctor if he could just surgically remove the areas. Then I tried clobex spray. Within 2 weeks it was completely gone. Being a nurse, I've run across alot of patients that I have suggested them to try this spray. They have all had success and come back to thank me. I even tried it on my poison ivy and it worked wonders. Thank you to the makers of Clobex. You have changed my life. Forever grateful!!"


"I am 20 years old and have had relatively clear skin my whole life. Just over a month ago I had a horrific breakout, the likes of which i'd never seen! Before, I'd stress out over one little spot on my chin whereas now my whole face was riddled with them. I was prescribed Yasmin and just wanted to say - it's not a quick fix! I've been on it almost a month now and I'd say my acne has gotten twice as bad - the spots are mostly comedonal acne and my uneven face and complexion make me extremely self conscious. Following reading the other good reviews, I'm looking forward to the good skin to come, but just needed to say that it's certainly not here yet! Hoping Yasmin follows the rule that "sometimes things get worse before they get better"!"


"I started taking this in May and I have not had a period since. Mine were awful, missing school and socializing with family and friends. I have not gained any weight. I have been moody and my breast are very tender 24/7 and have gotten bigger. I would recommend this birth control for anyone who had to go through heck for a week. I do take mine at night so I don't get nauseated at all!"


"I had IMPLANON, implanted in August 2009. I had just ended my period and after I got IMPLANON, I didn't get my period of about ten months, then out of nowhere I got it. For months it was like that. I gained 20 pounds, I changed my eating habits and was even working out with no weight loss..It was really making me depressed..and I was constantly moody and easy irritated.. I was always yelling at my boyfriend for every little thing.
So Jan. 2012, I got it taken out, at the moment I am on nothing at all, I've lost three pounds. I'm not as moody and my boyfriend and I have been having better times. But birth control works different for everyone, give it a try!"


"Well, I did not get pregnant. I started this birth control on January 1st of this year and have been on my period ever since. It's now May 4th and I'm still bleeding heavily. It's not even spotting, it's just a full-on period for five months. I have spoken to my doctor multiple times and he said that it should stop but apparently it's not going to do that. On top of this, I have become extremely depressed and stressed out as a result. I just switched to camrese and I do not feel depressed anymore, though still stressed but that could be from the never ending menstruation. Literally the only good thing that has come from mononessa was the avoidance of pregnancy"


"My experience was great, like a Valium I'm feeling excellent  and I know I will have a great night. Thanks Ambien. "


"I am on day 3 of this medication. So far I don't like the side effects. I feel very "spaced out". It's difficult to concentrate for long, kind of feel emotionless, I'm yawning like crazy, lack of energy, not sleeping very well.... BUT it is doing it's job. I don't feel depressed. I don't feel anxious. I just really hope that these other not so nice side effects will go away as my body adjusts."


"I had started taking Contrave because my doctor recommended it when my generic welbutrin stopped working. She said that Contrave contains name-brand Welbutrin and it might help with the energy problem I have. I was scared to take it at first because of all the possible side-effects. I poured over this site reading people's reviews.

I've been taking this med for 2 weeks now, and can say that other than occasional headache, I have no side effects. It really does curb your cravings, and makes you just want to eat less. At first I was taking it an hour after taking Bornine for possible nausea, but turns out I haven't experienced any nausea yet. I don't take the med with food, and have no problems.

Will update later."


"Started with Percs, moved to straight oxy at 100-120mg/day. Never beyond that. Tried a half dozen times to go cold turkey.  Not much luck.  Closest I have ever gotten is with Sub.  Problem is that with Sub you are still just taking opiates in a slightly different form.  That's why it "works so well."  The problem comes when you stop the Sub. The hardest jump is from some opiates to NO opiates. No matter what, you're going to experience withdrawal.  You have to pay the piper at some point, even though some methods (like a taper) might make it a little easier.  Anyone who says that withdrawal is just a weekend on the couch is selling you a bill of goods (or, is the doctor encouraging you to take the pills). Be prepared for 10 days."


"I started phentermine 5 days ago. Today is Monday September 28 2015. I haven't lost anything.  My weight is exactly the same as when I was weighed in the clinic. I've seen a ton of people who have lost weight in their first week but I don't seem to be one of those people. This is a little stressful because I'm nearly 100 lbs over weight. I'm not a big eater already so maybe this drug is for people who over eat? I also heard it speeds your metabolism and that too causes you to lose weight.  Maybe it's still too soon to decide if this pill is work in or not but hopefully it starts to work soon. I also work out daily for an hour. Sometimes more. Ughhhh!"
