"I'm so very glad I looked at this page.  I should have looked before I took this one day treatment.  I've had plenty of yeast infections over my 44 years of life and I know the other 3-7 day cream burns and itches so I thought one day of that would be easier. I. Was. Wrong. I put the one day pre filled dose in at 11pm, went to bed, and thought it'd be ok.  At three am I woke up swollen shut.  Spasms and burning don't even begin to describe it.  Just ouch!!! So I looked at this online and saw the comment about taking Benadryl for a reaction.  I thought, it can't hurt.  I soaked in a bath for five minutes because, seriously, I was so swollen and sore down there. Like after giving birth sore.  The YI is gone.  Take Benadryl."


"I originally took this pill to regulate my periods and obviously prevent pregnancy. Before taking any sort of birth control, I had PMS with moderate to heavy periods. Ever since this pill, my period is where the blue pills stop and my period is so light, no cramps, no PMS. But I have realized myself gaining a little weight. My breasts definitely seem a little bigger, so used to a B cup, so when they get bigger- I know the difference. This pill has done a good job. I haven't had sex without a condom while being on this birth control. I see less acne though."

"This was my very first birth control pill that I've tried. Great pill at first. Cleared my skin only gained 5lbs in the 1 yr I was on it. However after the 7th month I started experiencing hair loss! I was known for my thick full beautiful long black hair, so this was very important to me. I continued to take the pill thinking the hair loss would eventually stop, but it only got worse. My hair would come off in chunks and I hated brushing it because it would pull out even more hair. My friends and family started noticing my hair loss. I stopped taking the pill immediately when a pharmacist told me it may be the pill. I've been off of the pill for 3 months haven't gained my hair back but at least it has stopped falling out!"


"I have continued sinus infections and augmentin is the only thing that helps but just had a liver test done and its inflamed so not sure if its augmentin or other meds. Please be aware it can affect your liver months after stopping it. I'm going to try saline nose sprays on a regular basis and stop taking this antibiotic"


"I wanted this medication to work because I often forget to take my second generic adderral dose on time. However, Mydayis is not the wonder drug I wanted it to be. It takes up to 2 hours to kick in (something they hide in the facts) and even though I "worked" this drawback by waking up earlier to take it there wasn't enough positives to keep me taking it past week four. It lasted about 6 hours before it quickly declined and leaving me with even worse ADD symptoms. It was so bad I couldn't have a conversation or focus enough to make dinner without skipping into laundry, cleaning, or some other distractions. Without the use of any medication I have never had symptoms this bad. If this wasn't bad enough I had horrible nausea and indigestion."


"Not happy at all with this drug. 3 weeks on it and have extreme stomach pain, nausea, palpitations, very dry mouth, light-headedness. Would like to hold out to see if my body becomes adjusted, but can't function like this. My cardiologist is away so I have to find a doctor who can help."


"I was put on Xarelto after a small P.E. in the lower lobe of my right lung and have not felt right since. I am tired all the time, have no energy, migraines, dizzy, and also increased anxiety. The reason I decided to take Xarelto over the other blood thinners was because of not having to go to the doctor monthly which I believe is the only good thing about this medication. Can't wait to go off of it in a month. I'm so thankful to read the comments and see I am not the only one suffering these side effects."


"I was a smoker for 44 years and wanted to quit smoking because was going to become a grandmother. I heard about Chantix from my brother and decided to try it.  I had used other things to quit but was never successful. After using Chantix for 1 week I no longer was a smoker. That was 8 years ago and I am very happy that my granddaughter has never had a grandma that smelled like smoke."


"The liletta was inserted with no pain at all. I felt like I noticed there was something in my body for the first 24hours, then nothing at all. I bled for 3 months straight after insertion and didn't have a period since. I finally if it removed after 6 months because of the side effects. My mood swings were crazy, but I could deal with that. What I couldn't deal with any longer was the severe aches and pains I had- one week it was foot/ankle pain, the next was severe back pain (wasn't able to walk a few times because of this). The pain was non-stop and I finally decided to have it removed last month after experiencing stabbing pains on the left side of my head, followed by a dull headache that would last 24-48 hours."


"I had gotten addicted to Lortab and ask my doctor to take me off it because I just hated not being in control of a medicine. I have Fibromyalgia, so I needed something that would help. After different meds, that did not work, he gave me a shot of Toradol, I was amazed when it took effect! For the first time in a long time my whole body felt pain free. You would think miracle medicine, right? Well, it was however, the side effects of constipation and upset stomach, bloating, heartburn, not urinating enough, the medicine scared me (he also gave me the Toradol pills). I have an appoinment with my doctor tomorrow and I hate that I will have to be taken off this med. If you have great relief with no side effects, it is great!"


"I went from having to go to the bathroom 5 or 6 times in one night to just once BUT, I had severe shortness of breath. Had to quit taking it."


"Went to see my lung doctor for my coughing up phlegm constantly. He said it might have something to do with my quitting smoking. (day 102) Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. He prescribed azithromycin 500 mg. 3 times a week for 4 weeks. So far I have gotten thru 1 week. Still spitting up, loss of appetite and can't get a good nights sleep."


"I was admitted to a hospital cardiac care unit following an MI.  I received Ambien and woke up from sleep profoundly confused and hostile.  I ripped out of my arms and legs all the IV and EKG leads, and then left my bed, marching to the double doors of the CCU.  Female nurses were screaming, for I was naked and bloody from the leads being torn away from my body.

The bravest man I ever met was a young CNA who stepped in front of me, telling me "You cannot leave the CCU."  Considerably shorter and lighter than me, his action was totally courageous, given that I was in a temporary, drug-induced altered mental state.  I recall only vaguely warning him that I would throw him against the wall if he blocked me.  I awakened, embarrassed, ashamed."


"I am 235 lbs and took one at noon and by 1:00 PM I was feeling great! I did not take another but still could not sleep that night, neither could my wife who took one also. Almost a fair trade."


"My experience with Otezla was brutal, I had extreme issues with the company itself it was as if no one was on the same page, some times the medicine wouldn't get there before I ran out and was being told 10 different things from their reps. Trying to get insurance to  assist did not happen. I would never recommend this product or co. My usage saw very, very, minimal results after 3 months straight. I saw maybe a 1/2 of a  percent change in appearance etc. And what they don't tell you is if you have to stop to taking this medication re: Can't afford it etc. Your Psoriasis will not only fully return but it sends it into Hyper drive creating way worse conditions than you started with."


"Doctors please listen to patients better. I was placed on morphine due to reaction to codeine! Within a week I am vomiting and the doctors tell me to tough it out (this is considered a minor less serious side affect!). However as a result I can no longer eat. This site seems to indicate I am one of those unlucky few that is intolerant to these pain killers. Why will doctors not listen?"


"I've suffered from chronic insomnia and severe panic attacks since early childhood and was given many medications but they didn't help me. I eventually was put on Seconal sodium (secobarbitol) by a new physician and I sleep well and don't experience panic attacks anymore. I was taught to take my Seconal under my tongue with Nutra-sweet and on a four hour empty stomach. Also, I never experienced withdrawals when I was without this medication for two months. Seconal has made my life much better now that I can get restful sleep and no longer have panic attacks."


"I use Cartia XT for A-fibrillation.  The only problem I ran into was using generics.  CVS switched their provider and it did not work as well.  2 days of A-fibrillation and I went on the real deal.  What a difference, everything is back to normal."


"I was initially diagnosed with a yeast infection, but after they looked at my results, they diagnosed me with BV. It's my first diagnosis. I'm all ready impatient because I was treating a "yeast infection " for a week. This is honestly fairly quick though. My symptoms subsided after two of the pills (2pills/day for 2 days). I didn't feel any side affects, but god are these things nasty. They immediately dissolve before you can swallow them. I'm not a big pill person. I ground them up and stirred them into grapefruit juice. The only way I could take them. Other than that, it works. "


"I had the implant fitted on June 15th 2015, my first period arrived on September 12th and ended on September 20th, my second period arrived on December 12th and ended on December 20th. I had the implant removed on January 4th 2016. Previously I had been taking the Mini Pill for 5 years. Pros of the Implant (for me): No more mood swings, weight loss (5 pounds), regular and light periods. Cons of the Implant (for me): Acne (mild, but several forms, including cystic to my cheeks, chin and around my mouth), fatigue, hair thinning (but stopped at the 3 month mark), constantly sore (but not swollen) breasts, light cramping (daily). Final words: If it was not for the Acne I would have kept the Implant."


"I started this medication for Bulimia. It worked - partially.  From the day I took it I did not purge the entire time I was on it. I still binged though, and I gained weight. I didn't have an urge to exercise and ultimately that is why I am going off it. As well as the lack of energy, motivation and interest to exercise, that spilled over into the rest of my life.
I lost interest in socializing, working, cleaning, cooking (very hard to just do anyways), I stopped sleeping, and after a year I didn't want to even watch tv or read. It's VERY hard to get off of and I insist people read reviews on withdrawing. It's been tough physically although I feel better mentally already. It served its purpose, but I should have gone off it after 6 months."


"I developed hypoparathyroidism after 2013 thyroidectomy for goiter with compressive symptoms. Pre-op PTH 79 and Post-op 7, then undetectable.  My body was literally freezing up, brain function slowed, total body/ facial numbness/fatigue consumed me, seizures, horrific bone pain, flu-like myalgia, even with perfect management of medications and good lab results, but I was barely functional.  I started Natpara June 10, 2015 and began a thawing process.  My thought processes improved, but there was unexplained damage from the years with no parathyroid function.  Please, I hope endocrinologists will study the permanent impact of this disease on patients. I manage a medical practice and with Natpara I can tolerate very limited activity, age 59."


"It did the job of relieving my sore throat and massive headache. The bad thing is that I felt like a drugged up zombie the entire night. Had to call out of work cause of the insomnia :("


"This is the best allergy medicine ever, so why in the world was it discontinued? Nothing works better for sneezing, congestion and sinus drainage associated with allergies. Please bring it back."


"I had only taken Xanax a few times as needed and losing it (oops). Sometimes it works right away with calming me down and everything, but this one time I was a mess and it took a while to work. But, on the bright side, I have very bad insomnia and it made me sleep better. I do not take it as a sleepy aid, that was just one instance where it was night time."


"Ladies you should look at the dosage before you buy. I got the 300mg one and it was fine. No discomfort at all except all the medication on my undies the day after because I didn't put a panty liner on. It was a little itchy at first but more numbing later. My symptoms went away overnight. I also have a cold and took NyQuil so any little discomfort I had I'd probably slept through it (clearly I did this at night before bed) but over all I recommend this product."


"The condom broke on July 4th and we didn't realize it broke till after he finnished inside of me. I'm not on BC so we immediately went to the store to buy plan b one step and I took it within the hour of it happening. I did some research and I was in the time of ovulating. This made me really nervous that it could increase my chances of getting pregnant, but I knew that all I could do was wait and see what happens. Symptoms I experienced were tiredness, moodiness, bloating and very sensitive and sore breasts. Today I'm happy to say I GOT MY PERIOD!!! It was only 1 day late. I'm so relieved!!! My advice is don't wait, take the pill ASAP and let it do its work. DONT STRESS or think about it too much. Be positive & keep yourself busy."


"Easy to use!"


"Helps me breath I love it."


"Side effects are plenty, like tremors, shakes, jolts, shudders, lack of libido and seeping semen (sorry if this puts anyone off their dinner), weird dreams (initial period), yawns that make me almost pass out (initial period), double vision at night looking at bright objects. I've been on 150mg for over a year. With all these side effects you'd wonder why I keep taking it!? It's because I remember weeping driving to work, gagging before going into what other people would only find mildly stressful situations and I've gained a great deal of control again in my life, having been promoted in work and being able to play with my kids and talk to my wife. You'll read horror stories about side effects but it has worked wonders for me."


"I have had an issue with GERD every night. I would lose sleep from the constant stomach pains and nausea. I would have to make myself vomit to feel even some relief. I finally got some help from my doctor and a little pill and now I feel AWESOME! It may be a little hard to swallow at first, but I have never felt better!"


"I have tried everything to quit but failed every time but I started taking Chantix and I am 33 days smoke free. I cannot believe how great this is. My husband is still smoking and has not once told me he is proud of me. He probably figures this wont work like the rest. I am going to stay smoke free just to prove myself that I can quit and he can't."


"I am 11 and I used to sweat like crazy. So my mom made me a doctors appointment and my doctor told me to try Hypercare. The first night I tried it, it burned but the next day I was COMPLETELY dry. I recommend HYPERCARE."


"This is absolutely a life saver for me. I had small red pimples all over my face. But after I have started using my Adapalene gel, my skin has become a lot clearer and the inflammation has reduced to a great extent. Though Adapalene makes my skin extremely dry , it's worth it."


"Decided to try NV because the pill was inconvenient. Thought, it is the lowest level of hormones available, it is of local action- so should be few side effects due to minimal systemic absorption. Wrong. I felt moody the whole entire time. And in my mind I knew it wasn't my typical disposition, but it was so overpowering, I just couldn't help it. In addition, I felt itchy all over my legs. I was constantly scratching. There were no hives or ingrown hairs, and I didn't change anything else in terms of my activities/diet/medicines. I felt tired all day long, every day. And the worst thing was this terrible rash on my forehead that looked like tiny acne. That was the last drop before I pulled it out."


"I got pregnant on paraguard not even 4 months into having it! Doctor told me I was protected immediately!!"


"Omg never taken this again gi  doctor told me take along with Merlex and so took 2 tabs with Merlex two days in row today had worst burning in  my stomach hurt burn and feeling nauseated omg am like am work ugh.. then  had bad bm at work the 2 more bm's at home never again."


"I'm 34 year old female that has obsessive thoughts about getting cancer. I have been battling ocd since 14 and this med has been a life changer. Although I still have thoughts I don't freak myself out half as bad. I sleep like a baby too! I have gained weight but loosing it now. 8 pounds total."


"Buspar has been very effective for me in treating occasional panic attacks and generalized anxiety, without side effects I've experienced with other medications such as Paxil. Doctors have been inclined to prescribe other medications as my anxiety symptoms often occur with emotional situations (death of loved one etc.) and I am crying alot. However the emotion is a natural reaction to the situation. Anti-depressant meds affected me negatively in contrast to buspar which helps alot."


"I have been on the Microgestin 1/20 pill for about a year now. I am 19 years old. This is the first and only birth control I have tried. From the start of the pills I never had any symptoms of sickness, acne or mood swings. My period always comes 2 days after I take the last pill of the pack on the dot. Very regular. I used to get very heavy periods with absolute horrible cramps and with the pill I got my period very lightly for only 3 days with no cramps. The only downfall is that I gained about 15 pounds on the pill in one year. I have been the same weight for years and within the past year, I noticed a lot of weight gain even with being conscious of what I eat. I am thinking about trying something else due to the weight gain."


"Works for me, don't take half like I was, you must take full pill for it to work right and also take regularly"


"I would rather deal with the long dissolve time of Bunavail than the horrible taste, shorter effect and headaches you get from Subs (Suboxone orange sublingual strips).

In my personal experience, it takes about an hour in my cheek to get the full effect, but not dissolve completely. That effect is an all-day one versus Subs. On the Subs, I'd have to use a little more after a few hours. Plus a pounding headache if I wasn't careful.

On the Bunavail, all of my withdrawal symptoms are gone, I have energy and a great mood. It does the exact same thing as the Subs do, you just have to be patient with the way it's delivered into your system. Which is apparently something half the people out there aren't capable of, judging from the comments."


"I have been on pregabalin 75mg three a day for 3 months now.  I have fibromyalgia and I haven't noticed any difference. I was on it twice a day so I thought going to a higher dosage would help and that didn't so I am going to try taking vitamin D to see if that helps with the bone pain."


"It's almost a week now I started Xenical, and it works good for me. I have lost 8lbs so far. I am still looking forward for what will happen in 2 to 3 months. I just do exercise twice a week. Thank you Xenical."


"This is a miracle for me. Cluster headaches would put me out of commission for 2 days. Imitrex gets rid of the intense pain of my eye feeling like it might pop out of my head! The first few times I took it I had side effects of the heavy feeling on my chest and in my muscles after 3x I can take with no side effects. I've only taken it 5x  but still working great."


"I've had insomnia for years and used only natural remedies to cope.  Eventually none of the things  worked, so I went to a sleep disorder clinic.  The doctor gave me free samples of Belsomra 10, 15 & 20 mg.  I started by cutting all the pills in half and taking only 5 mg.- that worked for a couple of nights only.  I then had to up the dose to 7.5 mg (by combining the cut pills).  After a few nights of each dosage, I have to up the dose.  I don't use Belsomra every night because it doesn't work consistently.  I still mix up the nights with a Melatonin spray.  Although I get a decent sleep with the Belsomra (when it works), the next day I have a heavy head, like brain fog.  I won't be paying for this when my free samples run out."


"I'm 27. I have 2 kids under 3 years old. I got pregnant using the pill so I decided to try the nexplanon since I wouldn't have to worry about taking it. It had been effective as far as not getting pregnant BUT it has had horrible side effects for me. 1. Mood swings (I'm clinically bipolar and on mood stabilising medicine for that) it has HIGHLY agitated my moods. 2. Panic attacks/ anxiety. I've never had them until I had this put in. 3. Headaches. 4. NO sex drive. 5. Extreme fatigue. I literally had no motivation to do anything no matter how much rest I got. 6. Continuous spotting for 6 months. I though that these symptoms would eventually wear off as my body got used to he meds. Not the case for me. Had it removed today."


"I am not happy. After taking the medication for a year without any effects (positive or negative) I stopped taking the medication. Why should I bother to take it if i did not have any reduction on psoriasis?"


"Zomig is a miracle for me.  The only drawback is my insurance only will pay for 12 tablets a month and sometimes I need more."


"LOVE this.  Nothing has ever worked on my face. I have been using it for 5 days (mornings only) and people have already commented that my skin looks so good.  I have no burning, no redness, no flaking, etc. (and I have extremely sensitive skin). I am so excited. I put a very thin layer on in the morning and then apply my make-up over top.  It does not leave a film/residue on my skin and my make up goes on flawlessly.

Pro's: WORKS GREAT!
Cons: Prescription only - Small Jar

"


"I had ongoing pain in my right leg due to stenosis, a cyst on my spine, and a number of issues with my lower vertebrae. I first went to a chiropractor but that didn't help. Had two injections at a pain clinic with very limited results. Went to a spine clinic and the doctor prescribed gabapentin. Went from one 300mg a day to three as prescribed. I have found much relief and have had some good nights of sleep after months  of pain at night. I have not had the side effects described here except it took a couple of times to discover that my tolerance for alcohol is greatly reduced. That may not be a bad thing. I still have a lot of numbness and pain if I walk too far or stand too long but at least I can sleep at night ."


"This product is great! I suffer from adult acne and i finally found something that works. At first it used to burn my skin, so what I did was to use a very small amount only for one hour every couple of days. Then when the skin wasn't getting burned anymore I used it for two hours, and then three and so on. Now I use it all night about 3 times a week and my skin is 100% acne free! Hope this helps!"


"Simponi has helped my symptoms tremendously. I did not have to take methotrexate along with this. I am very happy to be almost pain free. But I do notice maybe psoriasis beginning on my scalp."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Refrigerate before use, used very good water to mix with medicine. Drink with straw to help with drinking the mixture. Put rootbeer flavored popsicle(small chunks) in each cheek while drinking solution to cover bad taste. Drink warm tea instead of 16 oz water after finishing prep solution for 2nd dose, it went down much easier than first dose when just water was used for mixing and the required 32oz of water."


"I started Estarylla four months ago to regulate my periods. I was having a period every two weeks. The first month I took it I bled for an entire month. When I called the obgyn, I was advised to give it three months to regulate my period.Now my period has become erratic and lasts longer than 7 days. This past period started two weeks ago and ceases to let up. Along with prolonged periods I have experienced stomach nausea,vomiting,anxiety, and extreme mood swings.I plan to visit my OBGYN soon to discuss new options. This is my first time experiencing a negative reaction to birth control."


"I have been battling chronic neck and shoulder blade pain now for two years. Severe anxiety started as well with panic attack and adrenaline rushes along with tingling hands and feet constantly.  Battling depression and insomnia too. Took citalopram, Effexor, Buspar, Valium and they were not much help with my anxiety and insomnia.  Started taking Klonopin 2 mg at bedtime five months ago for insomnia and it has helped me so much. I know this medication can be addicting but doctor is tapering me slowly and now am down to 1 mg at bedtime.  This has been the best medication ever.  I would definitely recommend anybody suffering from anxiety or insomnia to try Klonopin."


"Just got my Paragard 5 days ago at my 4 week postpartum checkup. I have a history of endometriosis so I was prepared to have some crazy pain at insertion. I was pleasantly surprised that it was quick and had only very slight cramping. I actually looked up and said "That's it?!" I had read too many terrible stories and had myself all worried for nothing. So far, the past 4 days I had bleeding like a regular period. Not super heavy, just average but it could also still be postpartum bleeding too. Cramps and low back pain are present but not unbearable, I took Advil and I have been ok."


"At first I loved it because I had been smoking for years with asthma. Am I bad?  However when I quit smoking before, my lungs returned to normal.  Combivent was a miracle at first, but now that I've quit again I still need to use it. I want to wean myself off but feel that there's something in it that requires or has made my body dependent on it, if that makes sense. So in the short term, it's great. Long term: well, I'm on here because I have my doubts. I have great insurance and was floored when I found out what some people have to pay."


"I use it every day for the first week then every other day is enough to control a constantly running nose and sneezing. I have used this for more than 5 years. No side effects. I would not be without it, it works so well."


"My experience was SO much better than I had initially anticipated. I'm 23 with no kids and I had 0 problems with the ParaGard procedure. I just got it put in a couple hours ago so I can't give any info on the long term side effects. The procedure took about 5 minutes. She first put the opening clamp on me - not painful, then she measured me (which was my most uncomfortable moment, but still not even bad) she asked me to cough when she did that (I felt like a boy lol) then only 5 seconds later she inserted the small copper-plastic T. She then immediately took the clamp off. I wasn't nauseous or anything, just glad it was over and was very painless! Felt like a period cramp mixed with having to pee. Hope this helps you as it helped me :)"


"I had a severe reaction to this medication.  Chills, very high fever, bright redness on both legs from ankles to knees and red blotches on upper legs.  Also, red blotches and hives on both arms.  Fatigue."


"Overall this medication works for me. I tried Amatiza and had flu like symptoms. Linzess is best for me. Every day is different. I only take it if I know I will have access to a toilet. I need access pretty much the entire morning. There are times when I don't go a lot, but that's OK. There are times when I literally pee out my bottom. I have dealt with constipation for most of my life and I am thankful for this medication. I use the $30 rebate they have. It's not a scam. I got a check in the mail. Drink lots of water with this product. I also do a bowl massage every night when I lay down for bed. This helps. I do the 90 day supply with my insurance. I only pay $100 for 90 days. Then I turn in receipt to linzess for the rebate."


"I have been on medication for about 4 weeks. Anti-depressants have always been my best friend. This drug has been remarkable thus far. No major side effects physically. The main problem I am dealing with are dreams but mostly nightmares. I take my medication usually before lunch. I missed it one day and took it before bed time, never again. I was awake most of the night. I am successfully weaning off of xanax & THC during this period with great success. No thoughts of suicide. Life seems better. I'm in my late 40's and a full-time student. I would totally recommend this medication because this is the first time in life that I feel more myself. Hey, I can even crack a smile....something I haven't done in years."


"I am 29 years old and have never been pregnant or have had kids. I've been on the pill for about 15-16 years consecutively. I decided to get Skyla because my husband I are thinking about trying in 3 years, which would be perfect for the duration of Skyla. I just had it inserted today. My doctor had prescribed me the drug to soften your cervix and I was advised to take 800mg of Motrin BEFORE I came into my appointment. I experienced some discomfort during insertion but mostly all of my pain was after. A lot of cramping, dizziness and nausea. I wouldn't trade it for anything though, nothing to remember!"


"I started my 12 week regimen of Zepatier the beginning of April. As of the beginning of April, I have known I have had Genotype 1 (I think) for about 4 years untreated. Also at this time I have had complete sobriety from all mind and mood altering substances including marijuana and alcohol for 19 consecutive months. After my first four weeks of medication (28 doses), I was instructed by my doctor to get bloodwork done. After 4 weeks and 28 doses, my hep c was negative. As far as side effects, I experienced slight fatigue during my first week of treatment but that subsided. I am now into my 9th week of the treatment and am having no adverse effects to the medication at all. Definitely worth it."


"My boyfriend and I are both 16 years old and the last time we had sex the condom broke. I am not on birth control so the following day (about 15 hours later) I went to the pharmacy and bought a Plan B. I did not take it with food which may be why I felt nauseous after I took it. It is now one week after the birth control malfunction and I got my period! My advice would be to try not to worry too much and give yourself unneeded anxiety. Also try to take it ASAP preferably within the first 24 hours. There is an online coupon that you can print off the Plan B One Step website if you can not afford this $50 medication. Stay safe!"


"I've struggled with undiagnosed IBS for years now..just a few days ago at a doctor appointment, I finally brought up the courage to talk to my doctor about my digestive issues. Sure  enough, he diagnosed me with IBS. He prescribed me Bentyl, and this medicine has been a huge lifesaver. It calms my stomach down to the point, where I don't have to worry about locating a nearby bathroom in a public area. Bentyl truly has helped improve my life for the better"


"I have been taking this a little over a year. I just recently went up to the highest dose. I like this medicine with the exception that the first dose makes me feel stoned and I get hungry. As long as I go straight to bed and not watch t.v. or talk to my kids I am ok. If I do anything other than go to bed I don't go to sleep. When I do go to sleep I don't even have to set an alarm I automatically wake up. I am still tired in the mornings and depending on work it can be worse at other times. I take Ritalin 2x during the day. My quality of life has improved to the point where I do not fall asleep while working, I don't race to get home to lay down, I don't take naps as much as I used to. I am still "tired" but functional."


"It works really well my mood and depression are better. My only possible complaint is a constant upset stomach."


"This helped with a nasty cold when other OTC mixtures (with less guaifenesin) did not work. The 600mg tab has almost no side effects, though once in a while can make me feel woozy. Made a huge difference in loosening phlegm, helping me sleep, reduced coughing so my vocal chords are not as irritated. Also, my nasal passages cleared up significantly the first day I took it.  It's important NOT to split the tab, it is hard to swallow, but it's formulated as sustained-release.  It can't do it's job over 12 hours unless it is taken whole. Also, drinking lots of fluids (not coffee, tea) does help. Miracle drug (Mucinex)!"


"I'm writing an update,  I've been taking Contrave for one month and have lost 9 lbs. This is the pace I had hopped,  2 lbs a week. I still have to count my calories and the medicine helps me stick to me 1,200-1,500 caloric intake daily. The medicine won't do the math for you, this is where you need to work! I'm using myfitnesspal to log good daily.  I'm very happy that I'm losing weight. My clothes fit better :)  Honestly, I still get side effects now and then.  It's mostly nausea, insomnia,  and constipation. Sometimes i just have to lay in bed because my stomach hurts so much.  It comes and goes.  I observed some people reviewing are taking Contrave for vanity 10 lbs and I'm not sure why. This drug is for obesity! Not a quick fix diet!"


"My doctor switched me to this after having depression, anxiety and terrible cramps while taking Kariva. I've been taking birth control for about 7 years now due to PCOS and I've tried pretty much everything, nothing seems to be the right fit as of yet. I've been on Altavera for 2 months and I've gained  12 lbs already.  Aside from increased hunger, I've noticed I've had less cramping and my periods were lighter and for less days. I've also had less mood swings. Aside from gaining weight, overall not bad."


"This drug was amazing. No sides effects AT ALL. Only a very slight metallic taste in my mouth but it was brief and it only lasted a few minutes after consuming the pills. I consumed a couple of alcoholic beverages while on Tinizadole (at a wedding) and no side effects from that either. The reviews on here scared the life out of me but I have to say that this medication was an absolute joy to take. Oh, and it cleared up my BV so major score on that. Do not be afraid to take this medication, With any luck, you'll be side effect and symptom free also!"


"Ugh. The taste is absolutely horrible. I would have much rather have eaten seafood than drink that stuff. I almost vomited shortly after finishing first dosage. And about 30 minutes later I already had to go to the bathroom. And everything has been yellow. Have had chills, nausea, feeling faint.  I shouldn't have to be doing this at 25 years old. Ugh. Dreading the second dosage at 4 am"


"Have been using Aricept for approximately 6 years and Namenda also."


"I've been on the Nuvaring for about 6 month now and I like the fact I can put it in and forget about it, but I've had pretty bad side effects. Bad acne which I've never had before. I'm always miserable and depressed and my sex drive is gone. I didn't gain any weight which was good because I don't need it. I've also been on six different pills. Everyone is different so you just got to find what fits you best and this wasn't for me at all."


"I was on the pill for years.  They made me emotional, killed my sex drive completely, and dried me out so sex was incredibly painful. I finally gave up on it and relied on condoms, but I wanted something more reliable.  Plus condoms are kind of a kill joy and, well, just aren't the same. The only thing left was ParaGard.  Yes, like many others, my periods started out horrendous, but eventually evened out over a year.  Cramps, expect to take some ibuprofen and then maybe some acetaminophen. But again, they lessened with time.  For me it was totally worth it.    I have an amazing sexual relationship with my husband.  Totally worth all the cramps and heavier periods.  For me I felt like it gave me my life back."


"I was recently put on this birth control when I was done breast feeding. I swear this past 2-3 weeks made me like I was pregnant again-Dizzy, Nausea & Vomiting, Fatigue, Anxiety, Bad Headaches & Severe Bloating with me barely eating at all or even keeping anything down. It really made me nervous I just called my dr today to switch it to something else I've only been this uncomfortable was in my third trimester :("


"I'm 25 years old and I'm taking 10mg of Norvasc and 25mg of hydrochlorothiazide and at the moment I'm not liking either of the medicines. Between stuffy nose, sore throat, increased thirst, dry mouth, severely dry skin, blurred vision, it makes me feel like its worse than having high blood pressure. My side effects are symptoms of an allergic reaction so maybe someone else might have better luck than me."


"I was prescribed Tamiflu after testing positive for influenza. I thought I just had a head cold but nothing OTC was touching my symptoms before Tamiflu. However, I recommend weighing your flu symptoms before taking Tamiflu, especially if you are a busy person who doesn't have time to be laid up on the couch like myself. If the flu already has you nauseated & a pounding headache, the potential headache & nausea side effects from Tamiflu won't be noticeable. Before Tamiflu I felt I could vomit at any second & just the sunlight intensified my headache so much my eyes would just pour water, today I no longer feel that way. I know the zofran has also helped with the nausea. 36 hours (3 doses) into Tamiflu & my aches are noticeably better"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I've been using Nuvigil (and Provigil before that) and it works well.  As others before me have said, it's nice to not fall asleep in rhe middle of the day at work.  That being said, I still don't get enough sleep, even with the CPAP. Lately I've been averaging under 6 hours a night, and at that rate, I still get sleepy at times.

But, once the insurance company is convinced that I need the Nuvigil, they approve for a year at a time.  If you have prescription drug coverage check out their website, because they have a discount card you can use to lower your costs even more, up to $50 off your co-pay. (excludes Medicare/Medicaid)  This has saved me hundreds of dollars!"


"This medication did not help me fall asleep at all. I would feel like I was about to doze off when all of a sudden I would become very aware of my surroundings and become very awake. Feeling of weakness and inability to move during the night and I don't know if I was sleeping and having nightmares or was Hallucinating. I thought there where ghostly figures in my room and felt like I heard screaming. The next day was spent dealing with a bad headache, sick stomach, foggy head and on and off again napping. Did not drive as I felt that I was not capable of operating a vehicle safely.  I will never take this Medication again."


"After an alcohol binge that messed up my digestion for days I tried 4 tbsp of milk of magnesium, worked a bit, but after a day I still felt backed up. So I took a 10oz bottle of Magnesium Citrate at 8:30pm. Downed it in about 15 mins. I immediately got nauseous which lasted for about 2 hours. But I kept it down. In my 3rd hour it hit me good, I was in the bathroom about 8-10 times between 11pm-2am. I was able to feel better so I fell asleep. Woke up twice at 6am & 7am to another heavy explosion. When I got up at 10am I felt icky, not sick but my insides were crawling. That lasted for a few hours, but subsided. Now its 7pm and still making me go a bit, causing stomach grumbling and gas. Overall, if you want guaranteed effectiveness try this!"


"I've been using nuvaring for about 3 months now and love it! Birth control pills made me really sick so I stopped taking them. A few months later I got a nuva ring and I've had none of the same symptoms. Only thing I'm not a fan of is it gives me some ache, hopefully it will go away with time!"


"Before Advair I had to go to the hospital many times because my asthma would become very severe.  Since I have been using Advair I have not been to the hospital in 3 years.  My asthma has become very mild and I have never felt better.  I have no side effects."


"Probably the closest to real saliva. No nasty after taste, very liquid, pressurized spray can. ONLY negative is availability. Not many stores/pharmacies carry this. Trying company web site and ebay & Amazon"


"Was prescribed this medication for outpatient treatment from anorexia/bulimia and laxative abuse after leaving the hospital. Took 60mg a day with scheduled breakfast. This was the medication that boosted my recovery. I was able to lessen some of my very troublesome anxiety around food, reduce obsessive thoughts, and be able to take initiative towards getting better. My treatment team has also been very happy with the outcome of this medication.

Just some reminders: You have to drink or eat something with this, or you will have acid reflux. Also, watch out for mood swings that may happen when you first start taking the medication."


"LOVE this estrogen therapy!!! Have tried the gels and patches and this is by far the easiest to use. It's like spraying perfume on before I walk out the door every morning, I'm only using one spray a day. Besides getting rid of my night sweats, I have more energy and feel much happier - even though I never knew how unhappy I really was until using Evamist. I got a co-pay card from my Dr and with my insurance it costs less than $25 a month. I think it's a bargain at any price! Strongly recommend you try it"


"This was my first birth control method and I'm never going back on it ever again. Nuva Ring messed with my emotions to the max. It was always two very different extremes- I felt really really good or freaking awful. And when it was awful, I mean it was awful. I cried over the littlest things and everything and anything made me angry and I couldn't control it. It didn't even make me gain weight but it just made me feel so ugly about myself. My boobs grew which was nice but that doesn't even outweigh all the bad about it."


"I think the Viibryd is helping as I switched from 20 mg Lexapro to 10 mg Vibryd. The only thing I'm experiencing is brain zaps, or dizziness, don't really know how to put it. Only been on it for 9 days, hope it works been on so many with side effect of zero sexual function. "


"I've been on Belviq for 3 days and have felt nothing. I haven't felt the urge to eat less nor any side effects. Anybody want to share and let me know when I would start to feel something. Thanks"


"I was diagnosed with a UTI on Friday 11-06-15 and prescribed Cipro, while the urine culture was done. On Monday 11-09-15, the culture showed that Cipro was resistant and I was prescribed Macrobid, since it was sensitive. I have been feeling so tired that I missed 2 days of work from the fatigue and brain fog/confusion. The medication has taken care of the UTI but the side effects were more miserable than the UTI symptoms."


"I am 53 and recently dx with "a variant of PCOS."  I have struggled with my weight all my life and very severe unwanted hair on face and body.  Still, my periods were always regular and I easily conceived two children in my mid-late 30s;  both pg were normal, with full term healthy babies.  I wasn't terribly surprised when I was dx with type 2 diabetes two years ago.  My dr. rx metformin.  I started at 500 mg once a day and a year later he upped it to 500mg twice a day.  At 1000mg a day, I am finally seeing a decrease in my facial hair.  No help with weight loss however.  My blood sugar is very well controlled.  If I take it with food (low carb) I don't have any problems with side effects."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"Has definitely helped along with the Digoxin I take to keep me from feeling faint or dizzy. Has improved my quality of life quite a bit. The side effects (for me) are not bad enough to make me stop taking it."


"After my 4th dose I was dizzy and my vision was blurry. Also, my throat was dry along with my sinuses. I got pretty worried and called a doctor and ate some food. I am feeling better now."


"Hot flashes were relieved; however I suddenly (never before experienced) a migraine with some nausea after 2 months on this medicine.  I used ES Tylenol and felt better in 3 hours.  Since this is the only medication I was taking and my overall health is very good, I decided to reduce the dosage by taking the medication every other day.  The hot flashes were still relieved and this half dosage was for one month.  Last week I suffered another migraine and vomiting and was under the weather for an entire day.  I have decided to go off the medication completely."


"These eye drops have saved my itchy watery red eyes in a matter of seconds from the first application.  So thankful for this medicine it last me 24 hrs during hay fever and when the seasons and temperatures change . I only use these when i absolutely need it . The only con i would say is it can like most eye drops you get a nasty taste in your mouth due to drainage but it doesn't last that long its worth it to relieve my eyes from this torture of allergies.

P.s .. i suffer from seasonal allergies , dust and i have occular itching forget the techinal fancy name for it lol . I would definitely recommend this med."


"I took 1 tablet of Dulcolax late at night before bedtime (11:00pm) because I hadn't passed a bowel motion in 4 days. Everything was fine until about 5:00am. I woke up with nauseating cramps and felt like I had food poisoning. I have lived with irritable bowel syndrome for years, so for me to say that...the pain has to be pretty bad. Within an hour I pretty much emptied my entire colon, and it was not a pleasant experience. I would "go" multiple times with in-between periods of intense cramping where I'd have to lay down on the floor.

However, I've read other reviews and found that while some people had a similar experience to mine, others didn't at all. I did feel fine afterwards. Next time I'll definitely be taking half a pill instead of a whole!"


"I took a shower at about 4:30pm and inserted the thing in my vagina. Around about 8pm I was reading reviews and freaked out because was saying they we're on fire. So now I start feeling a little extra itching and a little burn nothing that made me cry or want to yank my vagina off. Also I was on day 1 light flow of my cycle. Well when I went to use the bathroom, I took a spray bottle and cleaned myself and I would pat myself dry. I took 3 Tylenol and kept drinking water. Around 10pm I was comfortable enough to go to sleep. I woke up again around 5:30am to change my baby's diaper and I was feeling better. Here it is 8:40am I feel great. No itching, No burning, no irirritation. I think the burning and itching comes from where it's working."


"I have been using it for 24hrs on right side of my right knee. It works wonders.  So far no pain and it does last for 12hours for each application. I didn't expect it to work so quickly."


"This is an awful birth control. I was switched to it because my last birth control was very low dose and mainly for my acne, not pregnancy prevention. I am a gym junkie and eat super healthy but still gained so much weight on my hips and stomach. I was so exhausted I would fall asleep driving, and take daily naps - I have never been like that and have always had lots of energy. My face exploded with acne which hasn't happened to me in years. Not to mention I spotted every week before my period. Sometimes two weeks before. Overall this has done me no good. Do not recommend at all."


"I am 21 yrs old and work and am a full time nursing student. This medication has affected my personality. I am usually a bright bubbly person and don't take anything too personal. After a week of this medicine (40 mg) I noticed I'm snapping at people over absolutely nothing. I feel like I've become bipolar, one moment I'll  be beyond happy and focused, the next irritated, then angry. Then crying over nothing. I've become mouthy to my instructors and don't like long conversations anymore. People seem to irritate me and there's only a few that I can stand being around for a long period of time. I've already made mean remarks to some of my fellow students, which isn't me at ALL. Maybe this medication isn't for everyone."


"I first started taking Lutera around the beginning of January. I noticed immediate mood swings within the first 2 weeks of taking it, I had a little trouble sleeping one night & literally started sobbing out of no where (mind you I'm not a very emotional person). It made me EXTREMELY depressed, & I only ever felt angry or sad, never happy, not to mention I felt very disconnected to my boyfriend who I am deeply in love with. I immediately got off of it during the third week. They say to stick it out the first 3 weeks at LEAST but I could not stay on it one more day. I immediately noticed the changes & I was back to my spunky positive self, thank god! ( :"


"Was given Propofol today for an endoscopy. It worked great except that my nose has been tickling ever since and I have been sneezing continuously.  The only thing that made the sneezing subside was exercising.  I hope tomorrow is sneeze-free!"


"This medicine helped my skin a lotttt ! But my face is now pretty immune to it and isn't working as well anymore but it does work great for the times before ! When i use it now I try to avoid the sun bc it makes me peel around my mouth when I go in the sun idk maybe it's just me but it sucks and is hard to get rid of at that point so just don't go in the sun with this stuff !!"


"I'm an on day 16 of Paxil 10mg. For the past few months I have suffered from increasingly more frequent panic attacks and got to the point where I was afraid to go more than 20 minutes away from my "safe zone," aka my house. After about 4 days of the medication, I felt my anxiety had worsened and almost quit Paxil about a week in. I'm writing this today feeling almost back to my normal self and that's a great feeling! Hopefully the medication keeps working better til I'm at 100%."


"I have Mirena put in twice....I can't say I didn't notice things the first time around but on this 2nd time around I have and can't explain it off anymore  extreme hair loss, NO and I mean NO Libido, Lower back pain, No energy...Always tired, breast soreness to the point I want them in a cast so they don't move. weight gain only in my stomach...  I would not recommend this product. I will get this taken out in the next week. I'm so ready for this to be out I wish I could take it out myself! If I could rate this product a 0 I would!!!!!!"


"I'm 6 foot 190lbs in relatively good shape. Smoke, high blood pressure don't drink alcohol. I have a very attractive new girlfriend 24. I suffered some performance anxiety the first 3 times. I couldn't get or keep it up. Went to Doctor, Testosterone levels normal, and he gave me a script for daily Cialis. After 3 days prep Anxiety Gone. Rock hard. Almost zero stimulation required. Just go and get some.  Don't be embarrassed to ask. Its all worth it in the end. Trust me. Best idea ever."


"This medicine was a disaster for me. I was doing fine on Celexa, but my primary doctor started me on Viibryd. I had crying spells and was short tempered and unpleasant. So I saw another doctor and he advised that I get off - but phasing out gradually. It took me months to get back to normal. It totally ruined a European trip I had been looking forward to during the cold long winter of 2012/13. Needless to say, I dropped this doctor."


"After trying several antidepressants to treat depression, anxiety, and PTSD, I found Zoloft was my preferred choice. My depressive symptoms became tolerable, but only because the Zoloft put me in a fog. I was less energetic, way less motivated, and felt like a vegetable - but I was softer and less [emotionally] abusive, so I continued for the sake of my loved ones.
I gave it a low score because the withdrawal has felt like torture. I experienced massive panic attacks, fits of anger/violence, the "brain zaps", muscle spasms, sexual complications, etc. On the plus side, coming out of the Zoloft "fog" has meant more creativity, motivation, energy, focus, and overall quality of life. I would urge others to strongly reconsider getting on Zoloft."


"I love it, I loss weight with it"


"I quit smoking the first day I had to try Chantix! I was a little moody but I made it through! 9 years Oct 22nd! I do not have any sensation to smoke. My husband smokes and I do not want to go back!! I am so pleased!"


"I've been on this pill almost 2 years. I gained maybe 5 pounds, but I am also in a happy relationship so weight gain could be from that. I no longer have a period. I may get brown spotting every 4-5 months. I stopped chewing the nasty thing, and I swallow it. I get migraines if I take placebos so I skip those every other month and go to a new packet. Cleared my acne, no pain, my breasts actually got bigger. I am very happy with this pill. No pregnancies! I never take it on time & I skip it. I'm your typical user. I also don't worry about becoming pregnant since I don't build a lining. Love this pill."


"I wanted to share my experience, because it's been just over a year since I stopped taking accutane, and the results have been amazing. I started in May of 2016 after years of mild acne ruined my self confidence. The only negative thing I will say about this medication is that it knocks you down before it picks you up. I suffered awful dry skin at first, so much so I couldn't even shave without my face getting cut up. However, after about a month of this, and my acne not getting any better, I started to see results, and in the year since I ended my 5 month regimen, besides the occasional white head, my skin is as clear as ever."


"Since starting taking Januvia, I have been throwing up almost every morning.  The stomach acid is so strong and now my throat is raw.   My stomach constantly churns and very nauseous.  Since taking this medicine, I have heartburn and indigestion My sleeping habits have changed, because of the constant stomach churning and it has been keeping me up.  I got tired of being sick everyday.  This is no way to live and try to enjoy life.  I have quit taking Januvia and now I feel "normal". My regular sleeping habits return, and stomach feels fine."


"I took Plan B One Step 7 Days ago (Sunday). I was days before ovulation and fertile at the time so I took the pill the following day (Monday).  I had no side effects. However, recently (Friday) I was extremely dizzy and had a massive headache for about 2hrs. So I ate, relaxed and laid back for a minute and it was gone. So side effects can come days later. But hopefully like mine they are short lived. I still haven't gotten my period but it isn't due for a couple weeks."


"So I have a laundry list of medical complications that eaither directly or indirectly through medicines cause severe constipation like to the point where I am impacted all the way into my small intestine. My doctor has me taking on tablespoon every three days and if I am having a really hard time I take one extra tablespoon.  It's great, keeps me regular, doesn't cause cramping like other ones I have tried and certainly beats the enemas I used to have to get. The only problem is my stools seem to be really wet however that might be because I have a very soft diet for the most part and even then don't eat a lot. But definitely watch the dose and start with the smaller one, this stuff is strong"


"I have been on this pill for almost a year now and it has been pretty good! In the beginning, my periods were still very heavy and cramp-induced. I also had mood swings and got depressed for some time, but not sure if that was entirely due to the pill. About 3-4 months into the pill, my body adjusted, my periods regulated and are much lighter and shorter. I had moderate acne and this pill has improved my skin. Still get a breakout every now and then, but I'm grateful. I'm just a bit scared for when I come off the pill (will my acne return with a vengeance?)"


"I've had the implant about 2 years. It look me about 3mos of mood swings then I stabled out. My periods & cramps aren't too crazy,Ive gained some weight but im not too sure if it has anything to do with this. The one reason why I am considering getting it removed sooner is because I've lost interest in alot of things,but my SEX DRIVE is completely gone. I've had a pretty healthy sex life. But the past year and a half i believed that something was wrong with me, after reading reviews it settles me knowing that this is a common thing that happens. I miss being intimate, I'm a completely different person and i hope i get back to normal after the removal. Worth a shot though, not pregnant!"


"This medication made me feel like I was going crazy. I slept all day and my bones felt all mushy, could barely walk and had severe back and neck pain which I still do and prevents me from living life normally. I never know medication could do this until I experienced it for myself."


"This medication after one day of use helped me become more productive and happier in myself."


"The facts pretty simple 34 pounds six months. Side effects dry mouth and no cravings. 5'5 188 pound curvy woman. Feel like I have more energy to chase my husband and kids. I like it as it gives me power over my food compulsion. No insurance for now but good health is not free."


"I have been on lolo estro for 4 months. Prior to this pill, I was on gianvi which is the generic of Yaz. I had to switch because after 3 years with gianvi, I started to experience vaginal dryness and low libido. Lo lo estro has been good, no negative side effects like I had with gianvi. I haven't had a period in the time I've been taking it, which was worrisome at first, but I guess it's normal. No weight gain or change in appetite. As far as skin/acne, no trouble there. Give it a try."


"When I first got it it would do what I would call "resetting itself". By that I mean about every 3 months I'd have a week or two of insane pregnancy symptoms and it was awful but they would go away. I no longer have that happen and I love that it makes my periods super light. It gives me such security and is very effective. The pregnancy symptoms sucked but they only lasted a week or two, compared to 18 years of not  having a child I'd say that's ok. It's painless to get in and is amazing."


"Worst Acne Breakouts!!! I started this birth control a month ago and my face started breaking out the first week. At first, I didn't really think it was the birth control until weeks later when the acne got even worse. I contacted my doctor and haven't used the birth control for over a week now and my face is still breaking out. Hopefully my face will begin to clear up in a couple of weeks, once the birth control is completely out of my system."


"I've been on Procardia XL 60mg once daily for a few weeks and hate the side effects. It started out with simple tingling in hands, hyper active bowel sounds and some constiparion. Now I'm experiencing fast heartbeat. Although it helps to stabilize my BP, it's definitely not worth the ride effect especially the palpitations, which gets scary at times.  I plan on stopping this med and switching to something else asap!"


"I am 27 and have degenerative disc disease and a bulging disc at L4-5. I have been suffering from life stopping pain for about 3 years. Been through two rounds of Physical Therapy and 6 injections. Like many other people, I have been through a lot of different pain medicines and have developed a tolerance. Dilaudid has really helped me function in my daily life. Without it there were days I could barely get out of bed. I've been taking Dilaudid for about 8 months now and am up to 4mg up to 3 times a day. And, like other people have said, it does work quickly. The only con I have is that it doesn't last long. I feel like it wears off in about 2-3 hours. "


"Did NOT work for me.  Used it for 30 days.  I was hoarse the whole time, and during the 25-30th day had developed thrush (which I got rid of by using salt water gargles).  I've had asthma reaction to the historic pollen levels in Atlanta (2010) all through the pollen season (March through to the end of May)."


"It's been a wk since I started with Bupron 150 SR (generic bupropion). In the first wk, the cigs started tasting funny (metallic taste), & by the end of the wk, I could hardly smoke a full cig. Been a smoker for the past 25 yrs,

It's definitely working, & works best if you stop buying packs!"


"Had terrible allergic reaction to this medicine, within  a week of taking it. Felt terrible itching inside out."


"The Dosepak worked very well for me.  After about the 3rd day, the swelling and itching had reduced considerably."


"After trying Strattera, Vyvanse, Adderall and Dexedrine with side-effects that interfered with my daily life, I was prescribed Desoxyn.  A smaller dose of Desoxyn gives a far greater primary effectiveness than any other medicine, and with significantly less side-effects than any other medicine.  As far as my ADHD is concerned, this medication is absolutely amazing at helping me out."


"Since I've been on this pill I've had terrible mood swings around my period, the first week of every pack I feel nauseous and throw up usually once or twice. I have never gotten pregnant but my boyfriend and I take extra precautions and lately I have horrible acne and back pain"


"Junel Fe has caused me to be come EXTREMELY emotional and I have gained at least 10 pounds in my stomach area. I feel embarrassed because I am usually a small petite girl. I'm definitely going to call my pharmacist to ask."


"I was looking forward to trying Latuda however in the month that I took it, the side effects were too much for me.  I could not sleep, I was restless,  irritable, argumentative - basically not pleasant to be around.  And it made my muscles ache so bad I could hardly walk.  It wasn't for me.  Good luck!"


"I have been on chantix for a little over a month now. I have been been smoke free for 11 days. I was a 25 year smoker. I couldn’t believe it...I just lost all desire to smoke. Thank you Chantix! I do feel a little down, I have some vivid dreams and still trying to get use to a non-smokers life style but never in a million years would I have ever thought quitting would be so easy. I plan on getting off Chantix in a few more weeks."


"I had taken Adderal for years.  90mg daily. It was suggested by my psychiatrist to start taking the Vyvanse.  I have really noticed a decrease in my energy level, and sometimes I struggle with motivation issues.  I take 70mg daily. I sometimes have to check to make sure that I did remember to take it that day."


"I've been on this medication for 8 days of the 14 day%u2019s supply from the Dr. I have some relief from the pain and pressure but the infection is still very much there. I%u2019m getting nervous that I may need a different medication. I have experienced the bad taste in my mouth and noticed a few hours after I take it and goes away. When I first started the medication I was having the weird hunger pains but as the times has gone by those have subsided. I haven%u2019t had diarrhea and that%u2019s a plus for sure. I have sinus issues and have for years. Most other medications seem to clear it up in a few days. I always finish medication as prescribed."


"I was on tri sprintec for a year and a half. I had absolutely no side effects like everyone is describing. They sound absolutely horrible...depression? Crazy emotional? I didn't even know that stuff was a possibility. But It did its job never got pregnant nor did I even have a scare. It made cramps better and periods lighter. No complaints."


"I was put on this medication one month after it's FDA approval for Major Depressive Disorder. I was told it would probably take up to 3 weeks for a noticeable difference in my mood and behavior, but I noticed a difference on day 2. I felt like I was able to have emotions and feelings again. I was not as irritable or angry, and I felt like I had more energy and confidence. When I stepped up the doses I had the GI side effects, but those have  been resolved when My body adapted. I still get restless legs occasionally at night, and when I forget to take my medicine I get really itchy, irritable, and hazy. But the good outweighs the bad. I feel great! Try it!"


"Heart medication has caused acute constipation. When I take miralax, I go get BMs, but the effect is that I am extremely gasey and each time gas passes, small amount of poop comes out. It keeps me running to the bathroom and holding gas day and night. Sometimes I get to where I cannot stand the constipation any longer and try the miralax again... same horrible results and never feel cleaned out."


"I am a physician and tried really everything on my acne, which last now for 24 years. It started during puberty and has been hormonal since then. I have been once put on anti-androgen medication, which was quiet bad considering me being a very young women. But since than nothing helped. Spironolactone was well known to me as diuretic, but not as acne medication (off-label use). But I gave it a try, was quiet concerned about the potassium retention, but what do I have to say: Acne almost gone, no water retention before my menstrual bleeding (gained always about 2-3 kg) and something I would not have thought: no further cramps in my legs, which sometimes woke me up at night. I am very happy about taking Spironolactone."


"I was recently put on Effexor and I have seen a huge improvement in my motivation and mental clarity. I actually want to get out of bed and do things. I actually want to work out. I don't want to eat all the time anymore. I am severely obese and now after being on it for almost 2 months I have lost about 10 lbs, and I feel great. I haven't noticed any detrimental side effects. It has actually increased my libido, too. I will post if I see any bad changes. "


"I take Remeron Soltab (Mirtazapine) half an hour before bed for insomnia and depression and it has completely removed all my symptoms. Highly recommend for anyone with insomnia, depression or anxiety. It is also superbly effective for allergies and takes care of my runny and stuffed nose. It may be the strongest yet safest antihistamine for rhinitis. Sleep is good and refreshing. Not taking anything else, not needing anything else. Took me out of a really dangerous time in my life."


"I have suffered from GAD for most if my life. In the last 10 years it had slowly gotten worse and side problems showed like health anxiety, physical symptoms like back pain, neck pain, lump in throat, etc. Worry had taken over my life....unfortunately I didn't notice it associate most of these things with GAD. But it had been effecting my family for sometime. Got to the point where my wife moved out and filed for divorce. I finally made the decision to try an SSSRI. I had tried in the past but had rare side effects from all I tried. I started Lexapro 5mg and within 5 days began to feel better. Then after a few weeks it was like waking up from a deep sleep. I had my life back! Been 8 months now and I feel fantastic! Thank God for Lexapro!"


"I have had the Skyla for about a year now and I must say when I got it inserted I thought I was going to die! The process was quick but the pain was unbearable after. I've always had bad cramps and heavy bleeding but now all of that has tapered off since I've had it so long. I haven't had a period in about a month but I can say the only thing I don't like is the heavy discharge. I'm 23 with one child and an IUD was my only choice due to health reasons. Good luck to you all ladies!"


"I have had severe migraines since I was 8 years old and then a friend recommend Replax. She had begun to use it for her migraines.  So I asked me doctor to prescribe and it has literally changed my life.  I do usually have to take two, and they are expensive, but two pills that work, at any cost, are worth being migraine free! If you are a sufferer, try it!"


"This is the 2nd time I have quit with Chantx.  It truly works.  To avoid the nightmares, I started off by taking half a pill morning & night for the first week and then went to a full tablet morning & night and that worked, no nightmares this time.  I have been taking it for 2 months now and have been smoke free for one month.  How long should o take it!"


"Had mine placed in March, it was very painful but what the heck  5 years to not worry put me at ease. I work two jobs and I run 5 miles a day 5 times a week and at night I do weights and on the weekends I burn 1200 calories on my cross trainer every  Saturday and Sunday. I watch what I eat. I've been the same size since high school. I am 45. I noticed a belly coming on and now I am size 13  I have gained 25 plus pounds and this is unexplainable. Massive headaches, back pains. Now my hair is starting to fall out. Some memory loss and at night I break out in heat sweats and can't sleep or am so groggy I have to drink coffee. Non stop Migraines which make me nauseated.   I have been healthy and active since my mid 30's getting out Monday."


"After about 18 months of 28 day LAR injections, I started having joint and back pain. I believe this is actually fairly common. I've asked who has this on various support group web sites.... lots of people!  One person had it start up after their first injection. However, more respondents had it start after a year or more. The main location of my pain is in the hips. I've been to several ortho doctors who say I do not have but a slight bit of arthritis in my hips- certainly not enough to warrant hip replacement & in the range of an average amount for my age..... the lower back pain started prior to hips.
It has been deduced that the pain must be a side effect of the Sandostatin-  after x-rays, bone scans, MRI's, CT-etc.. nothing looks abnormal"


"I have been on Viibryd for about 8 months now. In the past, I have been on Zoloft, Effexor, and Pristiq. The Pristiq seemed to work okay for a while, then it seemed to slowly stop working, so my psychiatrist recommended trying Viibryd since it has an added built-in benefit similar to Abilify's low-dose impact when administered with an anti-depressant. I think the worst part about changing medications is coming off of older antidepressants. With Viibryd, the added "spark" appeared during week 2 (20 mg). I have never felt better in my life. Anxiety ran high for the first couple of weeks, but that was the only side-effect and it was short-lived. Additionally, zero sexual side effects."


"I just had this to prep for my screening colonoscopy - it worked as expected - gently cleansed bowels through the 2 step process. My only complaint is the price $120 which is not covered by insurance at all. Hence the rating of 7, else for effectiveness this is 9."


"I just hit the 1 year mark taking the depo shot and decided to get off of it for multiple reasons. I was bleeding the first 3 months straight  I was on it but they assured me it would go away and it did. I has mood swings like no other but the biggest turn off for me was the weight gain. I gain 31lbs over a year time frame WHILE going to the gym 3-4 times a week and eating healthy. I thought something was wrong and so did my primary doctor so he did blood work on me an i'm as healthy as a horse! He mentioned my birth control and it all made so much sense. My friend and I started it around the same time and she was 123lbs, a year later she gained 36lbs and almost weighs 160lbs. I also lost my sex drive."


"Had one of those tricky cold sores where there is no tingling or burning, it just up and shows up out of no where. Showed up as a single blister around 10pm and I knew there was nothing I could do except ice it until the morning. Continued to ice all night in the hopes that it would not get worse and went to the doctor first thing in the morning. Took 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills at night and it is essentially gone, two days later. Never broke open, never crusted. Just kinda disappeared, all because of this little miracle pill. Definitely worth going to the doctor for - hopefully one day it will be available OTC!"


"I am on my 4th week...I do have pretty bad diarrhea, I think because I am taking 4 pills a day now. I have mild nausea, hot flashes but no trouble sleeping but do have dry mouth. I went from 246 down to 233 so far,  I can't wait to see how much weight I can lose!  I am not hungry in between meals and do not have any cravings, will up date in a month...good luck to you!"


"Caused severe heartburn!"


"I have been using this for a few weeks and it really helps with my Sacroiliac joint pain."


"It is very useful for angina patient. It will not cause any side effects."


"I am taking Tizanidine for muscle spasms associated with 3 ruptured discs in my lower back, sciatica and spinal stenosis. So far it only helps me sleep a few hours at a time, maybe 4. If the pain is really severe during the day I take 2mg. I find if I take 4 mg. It makes me sleepy. It does seem to help me but only for a short period of time."


"I'm 27 (no children) and I've been on the pill for 8 years. Insertion was really painful like a 9/10 and I had taken 600mg of ibuprofen beforehand! I scheduled it while I was supposed to be on my period (this is when your cervix is more open) but my period that month was just some spotting. They gave me an anesthetic spray on my cervix but that's it. Insertion was thankfully fast-3 min total, 15 sec of PAIN. The next 12 hours I had the worst cramps of my life! But after those 12 hours I was fine and just had 3 weeks of spotting. I'm now 3 months in and have had no periods, no problems and I love it! My libido has also increased (compared to when I was on the pill). No side effects that I can tell!"


"I am 86 years old and have been using Vaniqa for one year with excellent results and no bad side effects.  Prior to this, I had electrolysis treatments every 2 - 3 weeks for over two years with no end in sight.  My excess hair problem is on the upper lip and chin area and though my electrolysist  was

well certified, the problem persisted (although treatments in my early 30's had been successful).  I strongly encourage anyone considering this product to give it a try - it has changed/improved my life beyond measure."


"This was a terrible bad drug choice for me.  I was impatient, aggressive and down right awful.  I lost some really important relationships when I took that medication."


"My experience with the implant has not been the best but it had done the job. I got my implant April 2015 and soon after I got it started my period and it ended like normal. 5 weeks into the implant I started my period again and this time it wasn't going away my period last 4 months and first 2 weeks were heavy bleeding and then the next few months were light bleeding and spotting. This affected my sex life as I didn't want to have sex on my period or even when I had spotting.  My situation now is I refuse to take it off as I didn't experience any weight gain depression or any other weird mood as that is caused my my family. Now about 1 year and 4 months into the implant I still get prolonged bleeding bleed for 2 months  & spotting 1 month."


"Very pleasant in a variety of doses."


"I am updating my status. I stopped taking phentermine on 5/3/17 because my prescription ran out and I didn't set my doctors appointment in time. It has been 3 days and I have been experiencing constipation, which is weird because I still drink my detox. Has anyone ever experienced that issue? My appointment is 5/15 where hopefully my doctor will prescribe me another months worth in the mean time I will be drinking the detox eating right and working out 7 days a week in order to lose more weight by the time I see my doctor. Currently I weigh 219 and my goal is to weigh 215 by 5/15/17."


"I have only been on this birth control for a little over 2 weeks now. I have not been on birth control for over 3 years and had a baby almost a year ago. I quit breastfeeding and decided to go on birth control until me and my husband wanted to try for another. I put it in on the first day of my period like the pamphlet and my gyn told me and I have been bleeding for 2 weeks! I originally got online to see if other women had this happen and even called my gyno to make sure everything was ok. Apparently it is just breakthrough bleeding eventhough you would think that would only be during the middle of the month not for 2 weeks straight! There are no cramps and its very little but extremely annoying. I do like that I can take it out during sex."


"Nexplanon was very good at keeping me from getting pregnant ,BUT WARNING I got really bad depression. My lungs and chest where hurting constantly , I felt very paranoid all he time. And the doctors thought at one point that I had a blood clots in my lungs. I don’t recommend to anyone unless you can deal with all those things."


"The Nexplanon is a horrible thing to go on I had it put in my arm July 21st 2016 an 2 weeks later I got my period AN I've had it ever since.  It's been 5 months. An my acne is horrible an I've gain like 10 pounds"


"I have been using it for almost 10 years  - was definitely not this expensive when I started. My first cost was only $75, then it went to $100 and  my doctor gave me one of the manufacturers coupons. I did only pay $15 for each ring until last year when I needed a new prescription.  The new coupon has a max. discount amount of $100 and the product is almost $400.  I am thinking of stopping - it seems the more popular it got the more expensive it got.  I don't like the weight gain but enjoying sex with my husband is a way better trade off.  I may just to back to the hassle of the cream."


"I've seen 11 sleep docs in 4 states for my 16 yr old-sleep probs and don't have a diagnosis yet. The closest said the part of my brain that tells me when to be awake or asleep isn't working properly. He nailed it, thus my self-diagnosis of sleep-wake amalgamation. I've taken 19 meds, eg Ambien, Provigil, Klonopin, Rozerem, Vyvanse, Lunesta, Trazodone, Gabapentin, Mirtazapine & OTCs like melatonin & valerian. Of all, Belsomra is the only 1 that doesn't leave me groggy, druggy or sleepless, although a few were very beneficial and I still use with Belsomra. With Bel., I get more REM sleep and feel much sharper. My only disappointments are the slow sleep latency & very slow increase in deep sleep, likely due to Klonopin's GABAAR downregulation."


"I have taken a lot of depression medicines over the year's but this one has worked the best for me. I take 250mg a day and the side effect's have been very minimum."


"Armour reduced water retention and joint/tendon fatigue. However, it made me ravenous and raised my free T3 to uncomfortable levels. I also couldn't exercise. Back to Synthroid in the morning and 15 mg Armour in the afternoon... Better."


"I have finally finished month one on 37.5mg of phentermine. I started at 144.6lb on my follow up appointment I was 136.6. 2 1/2 inches off my waist. 1 inch off both thighs and 1 inch off hips. The only way this pill will work magic is if you are really doing your part. The best thing that worked for me was portion control. Eat more often but eat a fraction of what you normally eat. More protein, fruits and veggies. Less fattening snacks and greasy food. Your body will adjust with you and you will naturally fall into the habit. Lots of side effects but they lose intensity after the first month. Well worth it though. With a strict diet and moderate exercise this pill works wonders on your body"


"To all of you using this drug for your warts, I want you to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Your love life DOES continue... And you should not be worried. 90% of all cases clear up for good within two years, and for those that don't, Aldara is a powerful medication to finish it off (Not a cure!). I had that lasted for three years until finally a doctor prescribed me Aldara on Dec 11, 2011. For the first eight weeks, nothing happened (as is common for male treatment), but my doctor seemed to be disheartened by the lack of progress and opted to have them frozen off.

A week later I finished the remaining four weeks of treatment. The affected area was red and painless. My doctor finally told me... "You're cured.""


"I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease and had my thyroid radiated so it no longer functions. I was started on Synthroid and I felt horrible. I was eventually prescribed all the other thyroid medicines but nothing worked well. I felt awful, I couldn't remember anything, I was exhausted and irritable all the time. Finally a Dr. prescribed me Armour and I feel almost normal again. It can be very hard to get as Dr.'s have to have a special license to prescribe it but I've been persistent and will accept no other thyroid replacement medication. "


"I just started taking this medication I was at a starting weight of 198. My migraines made me very sick and I vomited a lot and lost weight with that down to 186. Started on topamax 25mg in am and pm on July 30. I am now 178. Coke tastes flat so I drink more water I do have tingling in hands and feet but I am glad not to have migraines. The sleep is a problem so I think I will ask for something to help with that. I just wanted help with migraines now I'm losing weight, I got help for both. I couldn't be happier"


"I started taking 20mgs of Lexapro every day 3 months ago. I have experienced the sexual side effects and lethargy associated with it, but it has served as a good mood stabilizer. In fact, it actually helped me to quit drinking. I had developed a daily routine with alcohol and had trouble stopping cold turkey. I needed something. I let the Lexapro work and after two weeks I lost my craving. That isn't to say it cures alcoholism or depression, but it's been just the assist I needed. I combine my medication with some therapy and self-help audio books. I'm in a much better place now than ever before. I strongly encourage anyone to give the medicine a chance to work."


"Does not control or reduce outbursts of anger. Original dose 20mg, eventually doubled. Doubling had temporary short term benefit. However, there are no noticeable side effects."


"I really enjoy the nuvaring. I cannot take birth control pills because they contain lactose and I am allergic to dairy. The nuvaring is super convenient  and easy to use. If you put it in correctly you'll never know it is there. I used to faint during my period without the nuvaring - which I don't now. Also I barely have any cramps with nuvaring and have shorter period. The side effects that I endured with nausea and breast tenderness for the first month. Also I have had some weight gain, and loss of sex drive - but both are minor. The most prominent side effect was breast enlargement - I went from a 32C to a 32DDD."


"5/1/2017 - I was on Bystolic for BP treatment and it caused me to gain 30lbs.  I suspect the high blood pressure was due to use of e-cigarette.  I put the e-cig and the bystolic down!!  Dr. put me on Topamax 100mg and Wellbuterin 300mg help with the headaches and weight loss. As I ramped up from 25mg to 50mg of Topamax I noticed significant changes in my behavior as did others.  I cried continuously and at the most ridiculous things.  I was short tempered and wanted to be left alone (to cry). Side notes..it made my face feel numb, carbonated drinks tasted funny, vision was funky and did zero for weightloss.  As a mom of 4, I can't continue this medication. 30-40lb weight loss is not worth living this way.   "


"I have used beconase AQ for over ten years. It is very effective when my nasal membranes swell. I do not take it when my nose is running hard. Like most steroids, the side effects of increased hunger appeared. The nasal discharge and the extra drug can ran down my throat a bit, causing a mild discomfort. I simply keep water near and drink. The drug is more effective than many others. I had nasal polyps later and had to have them surgically removed. After the surgery, I became a seasonal beconase user instead of a daily user. The drug helps me breath easier, keeps me from being a continual "mouth breather" and the side effects are low. I like it and recommend the drug to anyone with nasal swelling. Talk to your doctor."


"I have had the implanon for about 9 months. First 3 months were okay, the following 3 months started experiencing very extreme migraines (which I already had an issue with prior to insertion) mood swings very drastic mood swings, no energy to much, always tired and no desire to do anything. At about 6 months I started feeling really depressed, lonely, unwanted (I have 2 kids and a very caring fianc"


"I have been taking Wellbutrin 300 mg XL for over 10 years after a major depression.  It was very effective at stabilizing my mood.   It also helps with my mental concentration and focus.  I tried the generic which didn't seem to work as well. I am under extreme stress with a challenging job and s difficult relationship (separated now) because of my partners alcohol abuse.  I was very fearful of another episode but so far have managed to remain stable.  I would be lost without it."


"It does take away the muscle spasm but leaves a headache! Not sure if it is worth the pain of the spasms or the pain of the headaches!"


"This medication does help out a lot when you have nausea.  I have taken a lot of different medications before and this is the first one in seven years that has actually worked for me.  The only side effect that I get from it is being tired after taking it but it is so much better then being sick to my stomach."


"I am experiencing significant pain/aching in my lower back from this drug."


"Have been on Twynsta for 4 years...I have a great BP 112/70. And absolutely no side effects. I am completely happy with it."


"This has worked wonders for me. Brought my A1C down to 5.4 in no time. Love it. No side effects. Easy to use and simple once a week."


"This medication was a nightmare for me... less than an hour after taking the first pill, I had fever and chills that never left me for the 10 days I took that medecine. I felt horrible, exhausted (my body was fighting against fever all the time), got headaches, joint pain, back pain... I could not take it after 10 days..."


"Diagnosed depressed, started 20mg Fluoxetine. After 1 year tried to come off. Met with anxiety & deep depression. Doc told me it was old symptoms returning & to get back on the meds. Over next 2 years tried twice more to come off the tablets & was met with the same symptoms but more intense. Finally decided to withdraw from the medication, removing 1 tablet a week. After approximately 6 weeks I had crippling depression and suicidal thoughts, these would last for about 2 weeks before I felt ok. This continued for 10 months until I had completely weened off the meds. Now I am LEFT WITH panic disorder. The doctor had stated there are no withdrawl symptoms, which research is now showing there are which include depression and severe anxiety."


"This made my acne worse. I used it for a few weeks and stopped. Acne got better after just a few days."


"I was still nursing my 11 month old when my husband and I had unprotected sex (normally he pulls out, however this time, didn't). I checked my ovulation app to see what phase of my cycle I was in and it was close to ovulation, so I took Plan B about 18 hours later. I had no side effects or adverse reactions. Now 3 weeks later and I have taken two positive pregnancy tests. We obviously should have been more careful, as we weren't prepared to have another child so close in age to our first. Please be aware that this is not 100% effective."


"I have had 2 other colonoscopies using other preps. By far, SUPREP has been the most thorough, but also the most difficult for me to ingest. I am not easily nauseated, so that was not a problem. But, I can see why someone could become quite queasy because of the taste. It has an overpowering cherry taste. I'm hoping that the next time I need to take it they will have a lesser cherry taste or, better yet, a completely different flavor...again, not so strong."


"I am so thankful for this medication ... after years of self medicating for untreated depression, anxiety, ADD and mild bi-polar and trying other antidepressants (Wellbutrin, Celexa and Effexor, which is supposedly similar to Pristiq but all gave me nasty side effects). I was given samples of Pristiq and decided to give it another try.  Within days I was back on the right track and feeling better.  Only side effects which went away quite quickly was mild nausea and loss of appetite. I have realized some people like myself, just need medications like Pristiq to live a somewhat "normal" life.... nothing to be ashamed of.  A diabetic needs insulin ... I need Pristiq.  Thank you for giving me my life back."


"After fist day felt much better .uti no symptoms after 24 hours .only side effects feel tied and slept like a baby .would recommend and take again .was on 7 day course  50g 4 times a day  .tiredness gone when medication  stopped ."


"I can lead a normal life-thanks to suboxone!"


"Achieved complete molecular remission within six months of daily 100 mg. Sprycel. Reduced dose to 50 mg a day at six months due to side effects. The longer I was on it, the worse they became.  Shortness of breath caused by pleural effusion, body pain, all over itching, acne like rash on face and scalp and some hair loss at very beginning of treatment.  It was a good drug to kill the cancer cells, but reduced my quality of life drastically. Have started Gleevec with few expected side effects, except for major vertigo. Taken off Gleevec for two weeks and told to restart at 200 mg. a day to rechallenge. I won't be able to live alone if vertigo is a daily side effect.  Glad to be in remission, but hate side effect sickness."


"I've tried every over the counter cream/face wash/spot treatment, eating healthier, cutting certain foods out of my diet, and home remedies with little to no success. After 10 years, I finally gave in to going to a dermatologist. I have been taking this antibiotic along with forms of the cream Ziana, and my face looks great! I still have a small bump here and there but the creams I use will either get rid of it or largely reduce it by the next morning. I wish I did this earlier. The sun sensitivity between the antibiotic and the creams is the only down side. I live in South Florida, so it is very hard to avoid the sun!

"


"Like the most recent comments. Had tried everything with no results. Jumped through the insurance hoops and have been using for almost 4 months. Toenail almost grown back out. Best it has ever looked. Just found out my insurance will no longer cover it next year. Hope my supply lasts until it is gone."


"After reactions to Lamictal and Topamax- Trileptal didn't space me out- and levels my mood.  I take it with nothing else for mild bipolar episodes.  No weight gain and my hair loss is not as drastic- if at all. Lamictal and Topamax made it fall out."


"I've copped a dose of the shingles from the middle of my back wrapped around into my belly button on the right side. Doctors couldn't work out the problem because the rash took 5 days to appear. The pain was very uncomfortable. Pain killers weren't cutting the mustard. When the rash appeared the Doc put me straight onto lyrica 75mg once a day. Had the pill before bed then for the next 3 days had a migraine so intense that all i could think of is please wear off and give me the shingles pain back. So lyrica did stop the nerve pain but i developed side effects. Just not for every one."


"I have been on this pill for about 6 months now. The first 3 months I was sick for the first week of every pack. The first month I had my period 2 weeks early and skipped the second month completely. Since then I've had my period regularly. It has become very light and only last about 3 days. I experience slight cramps the first day of my cycle. Sex drive decreased the first 2 months but is normal now. I had horrible mood swings but they are settling down now. Overall, the medicine has not been too bad. A lighter period is great plus I'm being protected. But I have heard of people having missed periods. I am currently having my 2nd missed period since starting. We use a condom too but I'm still scared. "


"I am 20 years old now and have had Paragard in for about 3 months. I can honestly say this was such a good decision! I have never had kids or an abortion, so I am not the usual patient for these. To describe my experience, I researched a lot about this before I went in and thought getting it in was going to hurt LIKE CRAZY. It didn't. It felt mildly uncomfortable for about 10 seconds then that was it. As for the first few days after, the cramps were bad, I'll admit that. I have never had period cramps before then so I will admit I was pretty miserable, but it was definitely worth it in the long run! Ever since, I have had little cramping and my periods have been ever so slightly heavier than usual but not that bad! Highly recommend!"


"Have been using Imuran for the past 39 years following a kidney transplant. Still healthy and going strong."


"Worked for awhile pretty well but then went back to maybe getting 2 hours of sleep a night if i was lucky! I need help and i feel so anxious i need something to help me with this horrible insomnia."


"I hesitated to try Chantix due to the side effects.  But I had some minor health scares and knew that my luck would run out soon.  I really didn't want to quit smoking.
I started Chantix 9 days ago.  I smoked my last (hopefully) cigarette 6 days ago.  I know it's very early in the quit process, I've done this before years ago.
I've had no adverse effects from Chantix.  Quitting has been one of the easiest things to do.  Yes, I still have the urge to smoke at times but it's more the habitual urge. The cravings have been less than mild.
I plan on this being the last time I have to quit, Chantix has made this a breeze so far!!"


"I have been on Suboxone & generic Suboxone for about 2 years. I was paying $300  a month for the generic tabs. This type of drug is a miracle for getting you away from a terrible lifestyle immediately! The Suboxone, I feel is hard on your teeth and the taste is bad for most people. Today is my first day on Zubsolv, I now have insurance and monthly cost is $35!!!!! Taste is much better and it dissolves very quickly. I feel great and just saved SO much money!"


"I was constantly tired, spaced out and I couldn't eat enough. In 2 months I gained 20 pounds and slept an average of close to 14 hours a day."


"This stuff should be discontinued.  It is horrible.  Throwing up for weeks at a time.  Spent time in the hospital with IV meds and fluids!!  Terrible!!!!"


"It DOES curb pain when all others may fail. I was on it for 1 1/2 yrs. Make no mistake it IS a powerful narcotic and it IS addictive..caused major constipation,loss of appetite, intermittant nausea..in my case made me hyper active, anxious and contributed to long term insomnia. Took more than a year for my body functions and physiology to return to normal AFTER I stopped taking it. It did however allow me to function through intense pain when nothing else worked."


"I wrote a former review on this medication a while back. I want to re-edit my review with a new one thats founded upon newer trials.

I took the medication, how my doctor told me to (* not how it was perscribed on the bottle *). He said, take this 1x daily (* 30mg *) when you have work or school. Well, having ADHD-PI I need to take this DAILY - meaning everyday. Without it, I'm a mess. I can't focus on social conversations (* I always feel like I'm "lost in translation" *)

With this medication, I am confident I can pursue my studies at college - without experiencing defeat, and hold down a job and friendships. I may not be my wacky spontaneous self when I'm on it but it's worth it I guess."


"I've been on the Nuva ring now for two years. I personally love it ! It's so much easier to use than having to take a pill everyday. I used to have a 7 day period and now it's 3 full days and 2 spotting days. I used to get horrible side effects from the pill but the only negative side effect from the Nuva ring is that about 2 weeks out of the month I don't have really any sex drive but I'll take that over acting like a lunatic and not even getting to have sex cause I scared my partner off haha. Hope this helps !"


"I've take this before with no side effects.  This time the doctor recommended me to take it for 90 days, 100 milligrams once a day for recurring UTI.   By the second  dose I am in the bed  feel like I have the flu, a virus at the same time and vision going. Not going to take anymore of this microbid.  Wish I had only filled 30 days of meds instead of 90 day.  Spent to much money on something I can't take. Take with caution."


"Great medication! Works wonders"


"I have been taking this medicine for a year   now, and it works great for me. I have relapsing-remitting MS, and I experience balance and coordination issues while walking (among other things).  The FIRST time I took this (10mg extended release tablet) I noticed an immediate improvement in my ability to walk.  All of a sudden, I was dashing up the stairs, which normally gave me trouble.  I'm able to walk most of the time without my cane now!  I have also noticed better bladder control.  I know it is not a cure, but it greatly helps my MS symptoms.  Ampyra has been a great blessing."


"Was in pain and discomfort from not passing a stool for 3 days due to co-codamol usage. Usually go very frequently and was feeling really blocked up and annoyed. I bought this drug from a local supermarket, have never tried before. Ate dinner. 4 hours after ingesting felt the need to go, had solid bowel movement at first that must have been stuck in me, followed by half a tonne of diarrhoea. By God this is powerful stuff. I took 20mg though as I wanted quick relief and didn't want to wait till the morning. Use with caution, I got excruciating cramps whilst the poo was coming through me on the toilet.  Works like a treat though, clears you out."
