"I have been on every antidepressant made, it seems. This is the best one by far. Everyone noticed a significant difference within less than a week. I was up to 120mg a day due to my extreme anxiety and not able to leave my house. The 120mg had everything under control and I wasn't even having to take my xanax, but my doctor felt I had began to become "flat". He dropped me back down to 80mg and now all of my anxiety, irritability, inability to focus, have came back worse! I actually have a call in to him to see is I can go back up to 120mg. Even with the issues I am having now since my dosage was reduced, I still think this has been the best medicine I have taken."


"I started using Zoloft on Wednesday the 5th of December 2012. Todays date is the 8th of Dember 2012. 4 days, it has only taken 4 days for me to feel like a new person. I have been on it before, therefore i know what side effects to expect. Everybody is different but i suffered from loss of appetite, headaches, nausea, a bit dizz, lower back pain, trembling hands. This only lasts for a week or two. I used to cry for no reason (even at work), snap at my partner for stupid things, i was paranoid over everything, socially scared (always wanted to stay home). I haven't cried since being on Zoloft, nor snap at my partner. I am a new person now. I'm so happy and look forward to my new life.  100/100."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"I thought a long term user review might be helpful. I've been on Genvoya for 3 1/2 years, I was part of one of the Gilead clinical trials. I've experienced no side effects at all, may have something to do with taking antivirals for 10 years. My kidney function has improved and CD4 count has doubled.  Keep in mind that the drugs in this combination aren't necessarily new, but the manufacturing process makes it safer on the kidneys and bone density which is why it was developed. If you can get past any initial side effects, I would recommend it. Long term use of antivirals can damage the kidneys, and this is a huge improvement. I noticed a lot of the reviewers were newly diagnosed. Exercise, eat well and take your meds. It does get better."


"It's only been a month and its been horrible for me. I've tried another birth control that was also very low dosage and never had any problem or side effects. With Lutera its been so different. I started spotting on the second week of starting the pill and it lasted till it was time to get my period. I've had mood swings and really bad depression and emotional. It's not normal for me because I haven't felt like this before. I also get really hungry at 2, 3,4 am. Those are my major issues with this pill. I'm going to give it one more month and if things don't change I'm going back to the birth control I was taking."


"I am 14 and I am beginning year 10. over summer break I decided from years of acne and expensive spot products I wanted to make a change to my confidence by taking accutane I'm only just finishing the 1st month of the drug and I was expecting fast working treatment but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work in the first few weeks because mine didn't. I get painful spots across my chin and on my back and chest, and I wouldn't go out the house without a face full of foundation or a top that covers my chest and back. Since I have been taking the drug I have noticed the redness on my chin has calmed down. And the spots on my back are practically gone! I hope this helps :)"


"I had been diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri when I was 10 years old. That was 16 years ago and have been taking DIAMOX on an off for that long.  I get very bothersome tingling that doesn't go away, often waking at night with extremely painful tingling in my feet that causes me to have to get up. I get crippling headaches, that hurts when I even breathe, and the last time I was on the medication, the headaches got worse while I was taking it. I am currently back on the medicine and have to go to the bathroom every 10 minutes. I take 1000 mg a day and can no longer drink pop. Anyway, I have good and bad experience with the Diamox but the benefits to my eyes well outway  the inconvenience."


"I've been taking trinessa for about 8 months now, and I am satisfied. No pimples, my period is lighter, I also use to get the worst cramps and nausea and now no cramps, or anything. I haven't experienced weight gain, my boobs do feel a little bigger though. But so far no complains"


"I am 13 years old and was diagnosed when I was in kindergarten. I started taking medicine when I was in 1st grade. I started to use Daytrana when I was in 4th grade. Only my close friends and family knew I had ADHD. I was so embarrassed and was made fun of all the time. I was on 15mg but for the past couple of months I switched to 10mg. It works great and I recommend it to others. The patch you just stick on your hip and take it off after 9 hours. Sometimes I forget to take it off and can't sleep at all and if I don't take it I will bounce off the walls and I will eat so much that I either throw up or be very sick. When I do take it I feel like a normal person. It is hard to get the backing off sometimes but if you are careful it comes off."


"Helps me for depression. Now I am off Xanax and Xanax XR. "


"I was given Lamictal after a long period of trial and error with other medicines. Lamictal was wonderful, but much to my dismay I did experience severe side effects. When I went up to 200mgs a day I began to break out with hives from head to toe, eventually hands, feet, and face began to swell. Was finally taken off of it in ER. I truly wish this hadn't happened, with Lamictal the horrible outbursts of anger ceased to occur and I finally felt "normal". I hope my doctor can put me on something that works as well as Lamictal. I am afraid to end up like I was."


"I had sex with my boyfriend a couple of weeks before I was predicted to start my period. After intercourse, we discovered that the condom had broken. Within an hour after, we went to the store and bought the Plan B pill. It was expensive, over $50 for just one pill. I experienced diarrhea, headaches, some spotting, and EXTREME mood swings. Of course when I started spotting before I started my period, I was freaking out because I thought that I was pregnant. But I found that spotting is one of the side effects. The day before my projected period start day, I STARTED MY PERIOD! I know it is close to impossible to not worry about this, but don't worry! I was doubtful that it worked, but it does! Sooner you take it, the better."


"I got the Nexplanon in Feb 2013, I had a period for a full 2 months now I am Spotting lightly. I have back pain a lot, which is unbearable at times. But before this I had pains in my abdominal region, which was so bad I couldn't walk. With my Nexplanon I have no pains there anymore. Although I could go without the mood swings and depressed feelings at times. So I hope this helps you ladies and I to could use some help, what other side effects are there I should be aware of."


"I had my Nexplanon inserted in December 2014. So, I'm about a year and a half in. I have had mood swings, excruciating headaches, depression, and weight gain of 30 pounds!! I would not recommend this to anyone!"


"Doxycycline worked very well- and very quickly for me. I noticed results within a week and after using it for a few weeks- my skin was completely cleared up! Good deal, right? Not quite! I continued to take this medication for over a year. Suddenly I began to have a HACKING COUGH immediately followed by vomiting. (Coughing so hard I would vomit.) I couldn't figure it out. I began to get very sick. Couldn't eat and then couldn't even function on a daily basis. I became so sick, in fact, that I was hospitalized. I was taken off the medication and voila!- the "draining" in my throat subsided, the cough stopped, the vomiting stopped. So BE CAUTIOUS!"


"If you want to hallucinate, lose all recollection of time since the drug enters your system, shake and sweat like a heroin addict, live in complete disarray, never talk to anyone ever again because it makes you hallucinate your friends and family are all there with you, even though you live alone... Then this is the drug for you. II was on it for  Fibromyalgia and depression. It has been well after a year since I discontinued use AGAINST DOCTORS ORDERS and I still have headaches and electrical-type surges throughout my body. I took that USELESS drug for well over 3 years at its highest milligram and had to just flush them since the doctor refused to take me off of them. I had almost every single symptom listed on the manufacturer website. I STILL cannot remember those years. AWFUL!"


"After two 100mg doses of Macrobid in 15 hrs my UTI symptoms such as a non fully empty bladder and a pinching pressure on my bladder with more urine coming out. Still many trips but all the urine comes out for the most without discomfort. Side effect: headache each time I took a dose. Still within the 24 hour mark but noticable improvement"


"I have been undetectable for a long time."


"I used this ONE TIME before sleeping. I put on moisturizer about 5 times the next day, and my face still hurt. Today is the second day after using this product, and my face still hurts, is red, and is puffy after applying moisturizer another five times today. I don't think its supposed to hurt this bad, even if there is a purging process. I would not recommend this product."


"I have had issues with trying different birth controls for years and I was scared to try this one because I've heard some pretty scary things. I've now had nexplanon for about a year and it is THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. I got a period my first month for about 10 days, by I was also on some fad diet so I'm not sure if that played into it. I haven't had a period ever since and it is the most wonderful thing ever. No period cramps or spotting and I'm able to have sex without worry. Getting it in was incredibly easy as well, they numb your arm which is the only little pinch you feel and the it's in for 3 years! My arm didn't bruise half as much as some pictures you see on the internet and it wasn't painful at all!!"


"I just started this pill a week ago, so far it has increased my appetite. I love it! Since I rapidly lost weight this summer due to depression. I'm no longer depressed and my sex drive increased. Plus I have a fast metabolism so it's perfect so far. Good luck!!!"


"Started taking Byetta three weeks ago, no real problems associated with it other than constipation which I hate. I have never ever had this problem in my life. My numbers went up a few points the first week but on the second week has been at 100-140. I can live with that, better than the 200-300 I was at with pills. Not eating as much lost 5 pounds so far and I don't get as hungry as often as I did. So far it's working."


"While the bone test indicated a slight improvement, I don't feel it is worth it.  The first time I had the Prolia shot, I had no reaction.  After the second shot, my hair began to fall out in bunches.  It has continued to fall out and it looks as though I will have to wear a wig.

Has anyone else had this problem and does it go away after the drug wears off?  I will never take another dose of Prolia and would not recommend it after reading all the negative posts on this site.  It would seem that my problem is small compared to others."


"I think this is a fine product for some.  Easy to use and never felt it in.   However, after about 10 days in, I experienced panic, tingling, nausea, increased irritability, moodiness and signs of depression.  In other words: it made me feel like another person.  Friends I know have tried it and loved it, but I got the same hormonal bc effects, sadly, I'd gotten with oral bc pills. :("


"Had a minor procedure and they used propofol. Went out like a light almost instantaneously, next thing I knew I was in recovery feeling absolutely fine with no side effects at all. A couple of hours later I was at my daughters university graduation ceremony feeling great."


"I was up to a very high dose of Neurontin in hopes of it helping my horrid migraines, but nope.  All it did was cause some major word finding problems.  My neurologist finally switched me to Topamax.  My mother loves Neurontin for her hot flashes though. I didn't have any other side effects other than the strange word finding issues."


"I've been taking it for 2 weeks and I love it. Best thing I've taken.  I feel more level and energetic than I have in years."


"I got the 3 generic cream prefills from CVS. First night, the inside of my vagina began to immediately burn and itch, to the point to where I was crying and doing yoga breathing to work through the pain. I washed it out and, took Tylenol, and finally fell asleep. I began to feel discomfort on my pubic area, like razor burn. Upon inspection, I saw that my entire pubic area was broken out in painful, itchy bumps and even onto my thighs. Stupidly, I gave the cream applicators another chance, and it was so much worse the second time. I showered to get the medication out. I've used the suppositories before and never had this problem, so I will definitely be going back to those. This should be taken off the shelves!"


"I have psoriatic oseto arthritis and this controls pain well at 1 mg 4 times daily Heavy fatigue, low blood pressure"


"My Doctor prescribed me Cephexin and it has worked wonders. I'm so glad I'm not one of the ones that got those horrible a side effects. However, for those of you that did I'm so so sorry. That sounds like an extreme nightmare. I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. However I wish I would have have known about it before I got this huge stiff abcess cyst in  my arm pit. ( in fact that seems to be the only place I get cysts is in my right arm pit. But this one I let get so bad I had to my Doc's right away but he's too hard to get into quickly, so I settled for the nurse practitioner. Let's go back just a bit, I mean this cyst was so big and hurt so bad I couldn't put arm down all the way without almost crying. So I got there and this is the antibiotic I  got"


"Let give you my take on the medication. I was nervous about taking it after reading all of the other reviews. I prepared myself by wearing comfortable clothes and applying Vaseline to my bottom. I chilled the suprep for a day and mixed it as directed. I actually enjoyed the taste - like a mediciney grape flavor. I drank the entire thing and finished off the required 32 oz of water in about 15 minutes. I felt comfortably full for about 40 minutes until I had the urge to go. I had a smooth and (for me) quite a large movement. Had a few watery ones after that. I felt GREAT after the first round.I continued drinking apple juice and jello - as much as I could - until it was time for the second dose. Nothing but warm water came out. Loved it!"


"It's effective - I have yet to become pregnant, HOWEVER, I've had the worst breakthrough bleeding and weight gain. Going back to loestrin. My primary Doctor changed my prescription without my knowledge and my ogyn just told me. I would not recommended Junel to my worst enemy."


"After doing a lot of research and talking to my doctor about my options (she recommended an IUD but after looking into IUD options the pain of insertion didn't seem worth it). I had nexplanon inserted in February of 2016. The insertion was literally painless. I am a big wimp when it comes to shots and needles in my arm and I couldn't feel the numbing shot. I had a large bruise afterward, and my arm was sore for the following week but manageable. Over the following months, I definitely gained weight, but I attribute that to bad eating habits and lack of exercise (lost all the weight pretty quick after resuming a healthy diet). I never experienced any heavy bleeding, just skipped a month between menstrual cycles."


"Not pregnant! Took the pill about 30 mins after he failed to pull out, and made sure to eat some food and drink water with it. I started reading the reviews and was more worried about the side effects than the possible baby. I had a very mild headache for the next two days, then got my period 5 days later, which was two weeks early. It was a rather weird and painful period and now my hormones and period schedule are a bit off but it went much better than I thought it would."


"I had mine inserted as soon as I could after giving birth (about 6 weeks afterwards). I have one child with no desire to have another, but my doctor would not tie my tubes due to my age (younger 20s). Therefore, I opted for the next best thing: the ParaGard.
My only complaints are my periods are A LOT heavier, and I tend to cramp when my cycle begins and during ovulation. I never had cramps prior to having the ParaGard inserted. These possible symptoms were relayed to me prior to placement so I was mentally prepared.
All in all, I'm 3 years in, and I absolutely LOVE this thing. If my doctor still refuses to tie my tubes when I'm older, I'll just have another inserted."


"I am 43yo and had the Mirena inserted a month/half ago. I have to say I have gained weight excessively (12lbs) but I DO eat a lot and have not been to the gym as I usually do on a regular basis, so in time I will be able to factor in the cause/effect appropriately.  Insertion was "uncomfortable" but bearable. I have read many of the reviews and have to say it is definitely dependent on the person. You will always hear the bad, but for anyone contemplating the Mirena I would do my research on the pros /cons and know you that there are chances of it not giving you the results you want (outside of the bc); i.e. weight gain, acne, etc. I have not had any bleeding or spotting and I get a bloated feeling every now but nothing painful."


"I am a healthy 45 years old and I have about 25 pounds to lose and I started Contrave a week ago.  I usually don't react to drugs with side effects but with this one I have had pretty much all of them.  Pretty bad nausea and headache the whole time and dry mouth but I am sleeping well, with just 1 pill in the morning.  The worst thing is about 2-3 hours after taking the pill I get very spacey, tingly all over my body, dizzy and can't concentrate.  I have not weighed myself yet but I feel it is working so I'm going to try and push through another week with the dose of 2x per day.  Though it is very hard working full time...hope it gets better like some of you suggest below!"


"I have been on Reclipsen for 3 weeks, I have been experiencing severe depression, anxiety and mood swings. My sex drive is very low, and I cry uncontrollably and for no reason. I was on Apri prior to this and it worked well and made me very even-keel. I will be switching back my next doctor's visit."


"I had Paragard for a total of 5 weeks. Never felt so miserable in my life. I bled for the entire time I had Paragard, with 2 heavy periods and constant spotting in between. I gained weight (I was back in my skinny jeans 5 weeks after giving birth but had to wear yoga pants again while on Paragard because of serious bloating that made me look 5 months pregnant). I developed anxiety, depression, panic attacks while driving (I'm a professional driver), bloating, cramping, feeling extremely fatigued all the time, constant back and neck pain, major hair loss, anger, headaches (I never suffer from headaches because I hydrate all day). Had it removed yesterday and already feeling so much better and happier. Neck/back pain is gone..."


"I was having a very hard time finding a pill that controlled my periods- I would be on a pill and get my period in the middle of my cycle or when I wasn't supposed to- or it would start too early or too late after the sugar pills. My doc suggested higher hormones, and I have been on Reclipsen for almost 2 years. It regulated and shortened periods- no breasts or weight gain, mild acne improvement. But it took me a long time to realize how nasty some of the emotional side effects have been! It brought out the worst in me (hyper sensitive, on edge, almost "bipolar" at times) and for the past 6 months I've also had extreme depression. So I am switching to Yaz which is supposed to help a lot with the emotional stuff due to lower estradiol."


"This medicine is great for depression. I feel better and I do not get mood swings like I did prior to taking it."


"I've had lower back problems on and off since mid 20's. When the discs get inflamed nothing has ever really helped - ibuprofen, hydrocodone, and many others. This is the first medicine that has noticeably helped the back pain and allowed me to exercise and strengthen my back without worrying it will give out again due to stiffening up."


"I have panic disorder and Xanax has helped me greatly. The only problem that I have experienced is that I have become resistant to it. Rather than .25mg helping, I need to take 3 to calm down. My doctor only allows me 30 .25mg pills per month, so I'm petrified that at some point, I am going to have an attack after I have run out of meds."


"Have been on it for about 4 weeks and have certainly noticed a difference in my skin. The first couple of weeks were pretty uncomfortable, but getting a no-alcohol moisturiser certainly helped with the burning sensation. For the first week I looked like I had a bad sunburn, and my skin is still peeling a bit, but not nearly as badly. Side effects calm down and so does your acne! Just stick with it."


"I have been taken Clonidine 0.3 mgs. twice a day for 4 years along with my anxiety medication and has helped tremendously. If I were not to take it I wouldnt be able to function properly.  So yes I definitely rely on this medication to help keep me functionable for taking care of my children and keeping our home in order."


"Have tried several different brands before Aciphex.  I love it. I have not had heartburn in 5 months.  Unbelievable."


"Great medication but put on 10kg in one month.  You have to seriously discipline yourself otherwise you will almost certainly put on weight."


"Hi Ladies I wanted to share my experience with this orsythia pill. Well I have now been takin it for about 5 months and I Love it. I was on the nexplanon for 6 months before I changed it to the pill. And it was the worst so many symptoms like headaches and nausea and always so hungry. When i had my son I was weighting at 200 pounds before I had him and lost 30 when I gave birth so I was down to 170. I tried my hardest to loose weight with the nexplanon after inserting it after giving birth. I dieted well eating 1,200 or less calories a day doing 3 hours of workout and nothing. Right when I switched to the pill I started losing weight rapidly I was at 170 and now I'm at 142 in less than 4 months and I havnt been as hungry❤"


"I took Latuda yesterday for the first time. I took it around 5 pm. I couldn't sleep well during the night but that was probably just getting used to the medicine. Went for a walk for exercise felt great. Felt pleasure again. Felt joy and happiness and love."


"I started Nuvigil 250 mg in the morning, two weeks ago after being diagnosed with narcolepsy. I went from sleeping all night and basically most of the day with extreme napping before the Nuvigil to no naps at all. I don't even feel sleepy. That is a plus.  The first three days were a miracle! I was alert. Colors seemed brighter. I felt focused for the first time in years.  Slowly, I started having afternoon side effects of a dull headache. I feel "car sick" and jittery, and my skull feels actually numb to touch. I hope this subsides soon or I may try halving my dose of 250mg."


"I have had severe GERD for over 11 years and have taken prescription Prilosec and it worked great.  However, all of a sudden it stopped working and I was miserable and couldn't sleep, eat, or think about anything other than how much my stomach and esophagus hurt.  The doctor prescribed Kapidex and the GERD totally went away; however terrible intestinal pain, gas, and watery loose stools began.  I tried for 2 weeks in hopes the side effects would go away but they didn't so now I am back to Prilosec and pain but at least I can leave the bathroom."


"This medication literally saved my life. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 1. I also experience mixed episodes and psychosis.  I've tried countless antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics. Upon being recommended this anticonvulsant, I was skeptical. It took a while to titrate to the effective level. I am now on 300 mg of Lamictal every day. This medication gave me head aches at first, I also experienced weight loss. I still have my bad days but they're not as intense and frequent as they were before this medication. I now have the will to live again, thanks to lamictal."


"I am 23 years old, I was diagnosed with RA at age 21.  My pain, swelling & fatigue was so severe, I could barely walk and had to be in a wheelchair during my hospital stay.  My Rheum. started me on MTX immediately along with prednisone.  At one point I was also taking Enbrel (biologic), but the auto injections were so painful, it outweighed the benefit of the drug and I stopped taking it.  I am now only taking prednisone during flare ups and take 25 mgs of MTX every week.  The RA already makes me so tired, the added side effects of MTX are next to unbearable.  The day after I take the drug, I am so fatigued, I can barely pick my head up.  The nausea and vomitting is awful.  It is: Would you rather not be able to walk? Or walk and be sick?"


"I have suffered with getting cold sores since I was a kid never bothered me until a few years ago i began getting them as soon as one would heal another would form.  So I talked to my DR. and he prescribed Valtrex.  It was amazing as soon as you get the tingle of the cold sore take Valtrex and the cold sore raises a little but the blister never forms.  I can not say enough about how it also has changed on the frequency as to how often i get them now.  maybe every 6 months to a year between outbreaks."


"In March 2016 I went withmy friend to Rome. Within days my face was covered in acne. I was extremely depressed and self conscious I have never had acne before. I went on 80mg and the first 1-2 months didn't notice changes. After the trial period it cleared up and I've been off for two weeks. I have a few pimples but its basically nothing. I wash my face and use a topical. It worked but unfortunately it does take time. I'm basically 100% clear now minus some blemishes which will go away in time. Stay with it and stay positive."


"Thank you chlorpheniramine! After 4 years of daily suffering with the mysterious 'chronic phlegmitis' that no doctor or internet forum could answer, I found this by accident and to date has been the only thing to positively affect and practically halt the terrible constant post nasal drip. No other antihistamines or steroid sprays or mucolytics or decongestants touched it. And it has the added bonus of potentiating my pain medicine for chronic pain. So I thought I was in heaven one day to find less pain and the post nasal drip decreased."


"Started on Atripla but after 3 months the dizziness and nausea was too much to bear. Changed to trivada and reduced to 400 mg sustiva and the side effects disappeared. Only slight lightheaded which resolved during the day. Sustiva works but 600 mg is too much. 400 mg was found to work just as well and with less side effects. The only problem is having to take three pills at once as sustiva only comes in 200 mg tabs. Encore study shows reduced dosage works just as well."


"I took Ciallis 20mg  for first time yesterday on empty stomach as far as  I knew it works within 30 minutes max actually it took much longer up to 5 hours !!!
I tried Viagra many times before and I think it worked much more better
any explanation?"


"This is the worst pill I've ever taken. It made me feel very sad, depressed and I questioned everything and everyone's existence. I felt crazy and not like myself for the whole 2 weeks I took it. My face started to break out severely and it only got worst in a short span of time. I'm glad I stopped taking this pill because I probably would have attempt suicide. I do not recommend this pill to anyone. Stay away from this one!"


"My 11 year old was prescribed Gabapentin for chronic headaches, but several days of this medication seemed to exacerbate his problem.  He had many more headaches and rated them as very painful on this medication.  We had to stop taking it after about a week because he had so many headaches."


"I am now in my 10th week on Amnesteem & my face is smoother than a baby's bottom! I feel great. Super dry all over but it's worth it!!!"


"I have been on Abilify for 2 weeks. I can now sleep better, I have had no side effects thus far. No weight gain noticed, hope I don't either."


"This has been great - no side effects except larger than normal breasts I went up a cup size. I am ONLY switching to Alesse due to costs - Seasonique is expensive."


"The physician's diagnosis was bronchitis and her instruction was "Two tablets daily while eating for 10 days" Biaxin XL 500 MG TAB". The pharmacist told me, after calling the physician, that I was to take two tablets together each day during a meal. She emphasized that they were not to be taken twice daily, but two tabs together once daily. I have done so for the past seven days. My cough symptoms have mostly disappeared. No fever ever.

Adverse effects are:
1. Extreme bitter taste in mouth 24 hours a day.
2. I have sex every 3-4 days. Since starting BIAXIN, I cannot achieve orgasm.
3. Diarrhea days 2-4
4. My wife says I feel hot all the time, and yet I do not seem hot to myself.

"


"2.5 years after the birth of my child I realized I needed help for PPD/PPA.  My irritability and anger just kept getting worse and I would go days without leaving the house. I was put on Effexor XR 75mg. I only took one dose around 830 PM. I was up all night, jittery, restless, vivid dreams. The following day I was so out of it I feared I couldn't care for my child and had my SO come home. I was incredibly nauseated and jittery with sprqodic muscle spasms, my fingers were shaking a bit and I had heart palpitations. It was awful. Around 6 PM it started to go away but didn't completely until the following day. I will never take this medication again, it was very scary."


"I have Sleep Apnoea and was on rotating shift for 17 years. My doctor prescribed Ambien, which worked well, if I had 7-8 hours to devote to sleep. I do not take it every night. I do wakeup midway most nights. I was having a difficulty getting back to sleep. My doctor then prescribed Sonata for the times when I have less than 7 hours to sleep. I found it was effective and very mild. I can take with as little as an hour of sleep time available, with minimal side effects."


"I got on the shot when I was 17. I'm 18 now. I've gotten it roughly 3 or 4 times. I had always had AWFUL periods and at the time it had been four years since I had gotten my first period. Initially I was scared to get the shot due to the things I had heard. I heard that it could cause weight gain, mood swings, excessive eating, and it could even result in making your period worse. Once I got the shot, I had my period maybe three times after that and it lasted for about three days each time. I haven't had a period for six months which is amazing when it used to be something I struggled with often. I weighed 117 pounds when I got my first shot. I weight 114 now. At first I was a bit on edge with my attitude but it was nothing serious."


"Worked extremely well. Discontinued it though because of fear of dependency. But when I took it, it worked perfectly."


"I think it should be considered medical malpractice for a physician to prescribe this drug to an elderly man with heart problems, especially known congestive heart failure.  My father didn't know he should report muscle weakness he experienced while taking this drug, and there was no followup by the physician.  Since the heart is a muscle, I think this drug propelled my father into endstage heart failure, which he now has."


"Right now I feel like my blood has been drained from my body. Each morning I feel faint and my legs feel like jelly. Should I continue with this med. Taking 300 mg. Per day."


"I didn't want Implanon, my mom is a nurse and told me I should get it. HONESTLY, with me being a huge baby it wasn't that bad. It hurt for about a good week and a half. So I love it, I've had it for 6 months now, I love it. I really think this works 100% ..I love it."


"I had my Mirena inserted in 2009 and I have yet to experience any major issues. Yes, in the beginning I bled for 3 months with a day or two in between with no bleeding at all, and I had thoughts of getting it removed but never did. It has been very effective and I am glad I kept it in. I have very light cycles now where I might spot for about 3 or 4 days and that's it. I'm relieved that I don't have to worry about unplanned pregnancies and I do plan to get the new one installed next year prior to my current one expiring."


"I found out i have the beginnings of arthritis in both knees. I had the 3 shot course and at week 7 I've had no pain relief."


"It is very helpful."


"I had Hep C for 14 years without treatment. Took Harvoni for 8 weeks with no side effects and I'm now 100% cured!"


"I have been taking the medicine for 10 days. I'm now up to 2 pills a day one in am and 1 pm.  I don't see much difference yet.  The only good thing is that I'm not drinking cocktails so it saves calories. I hope the next 2 weeks get better with full dose"


"I read reviews before taking.  I was very worried as I consider myself to have a weak stomach.   I only took two, don't tell my doc, everything was normal so I took the 3rd an hour later.  An hour after that everything still fine, no feeling at all of abdominal pain!  Also, no need to go to bathroom, I did drink some water but not a lot.  However, 15 minutes after taking magnesium citrate I did go 4 to 5 times without stomach or organ problems.  Crazy.  Also, the miralax didn't even really work and I usually have bowel movement 4 to 5 times a day.  Even though I have had lots o water out of my butt I feel like not enough solids came out, strange."


"Did not work that well."


"I'm over 300lbs I have only been taking this for 1 month and I'm finally losing weight. It's so strange. I've been on metformin for about 6 months but it failed to lower my numbers. With this pill I'm never hungry just thirsty. I have to force myself to eat at times. I didn't notice the weight loss at first but everyone else did. Its coming off fast and I haven't yet incorporated exercise or much of a change in diet. The only bad side affect I've experienced is the frequent urination and dry mouth. I sometimes have bladder pain but only the times I don't drink plenty of water. I'm so excited to be finally losing weight!"


"I am 72 and have tried EVERY diet since I was in junior high school.  I have been taking Belviq for about 30 days and lost over 10 pounds - 30 pounds to go!  This is the only diet pill that doesn't make me edgy and greatly helps with cravings.  I used to "graze" all day but now I don't think about food and snacks when I get bored.  It is a great medicine!"


"I experienced 3 of the most common side effects of Pristiq. I experience nausea, loss of appetite and dizziness. The nausea and loss of appetite were minimal and I could get along with my day. However, the dizziness, in my opinion is not a side effect to be taken lightly. I was so dizzy, I could not concentrate or do well in class. I had to stop taking it because it was disrupting my school work very badly."


"I am 43 and have suffered for about 10 years from extreme tiredness, acne around the mouth and chin, and weight gain. Was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2000. Started taking Metformin 3 weeks ago and have had little side effects. I am also taking spironolactone. My biggest complaint is severe, sudden cramping in the small muscles in the front of my legs and toes. Taking calcium with magnesium seem to help. I felt tired for several days, but have lost 5 lbs already. (Could also be from water weight). My brain seems less foggy and I don't feel as depressed.

I do not eat sweets in general, but this medication has affected my appetite in a good way!!"


"It's the best thing for me. It works few hours after taking the pill. I did not experience any of the side effects. It is a great way for someone who is really constipated to get relief fast."


"I've been taking Cymbalta for anxiety and dysthymia for 3 months.  It is the best medication I have tried in 10 years of treatment.  No weight gain, not as lethargic, and my attitude has been much better towards life in general.  Right now I am on 60mg a day.  I'm not sure if I can go up from here but even if I don't, the way I feel now is better than anything else I have tried including prozac, lexapro, welbutrin and several others. I do have some dry mouth and sweating but it is tolerable."


"I was prescribed clonidine for my inferno day flushes, and uncomfortable night sweats, 4 weeks ago. I take 0.025 micrograms, 4 times a day, and after the third week, I started to feel like myself again. The flushes are just a mild warmth, and the sweats have almost disappeared! They were a bit tricky getting use to initially, but my ability to focus is returning, the strange headache has reduced by 90%, and I'm actually feeling more human now.

I've been told the effects of the medication won't last long term, so I'll need to look into that, but for now, I feel great! "


"I was prescribed Mobic for arthritis in my right hip. I lost range of motion and had difficulty putting on my right sock and shoe. After taking this medicine for 3 days I have noticed the hip pain has diminished greatly, about 80% back to pain free. But this medicine has also helped with my other joint pain and stiffness. I now feel closer to my age of 48 instead of feeling 78. Bending over to pick something up off the floor is easy now. I feel great, no side-effects yet."


"For many years, I had intestine cramps. I used to take medicines. By afternoon I used to again pain. Also cholesterol used to be high. Type 2: diabetic was identified. Since Nov 2013. I am using. Janumet 50/1000 bMy intestine aches zeroed. So is cholesterol. Levels. I feel good."


"I have been on Yaz for 3 and a half years, and I have not had any issues. I have regular periods, I have no weird side effects. I fluctuate in weight by 5 pounds now off and on. I read all of the scary lawsuits against Yaz, talked to my doctors and the lawsuits failed to mention the other issues that girls had other then just the common factor that they were taking Yaz. PLEASE DON'T BE SCARED OF IT. I was and its a stress you don't need. I have been fine, and many others have too."


"I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen for birth control for 2 years with no issues. After 2 weeks, my migrane headaches worsened, a nervous/ill feeling hit me and my heart was always pounding. I stopped taking it immediately (I'm married and we are stable enough to have a baby) and have since decided to start trying to have a baby. I recommend lots of caution with this one (especially if you take something for ADHD)"


"Worried about the side effects of taking ramipril decided to split first dose to ease the effects.....2 months and all going well, maybe slightly more tired than i was before but can live with that

Before BP was around the 150/95 now 120-130/80"


"I got this shot during a doctor visit.  Unsure if dose was the .75 mg but the 3 samples he gave me were of the 1.5 mg dose.  Side effects began following day: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, indigestion and severe acid reflux. I also had body aches and fatigue. I dare say I felt depressed. I had just gotten over the stomach flu 3 weeks before and it felt like I had come down with it again! Trulicity did lower my glucose levels as did my weight (3 lbs. that week) Of course it did! I could not eat and what ever little food I ate, it came out in minutes!  I DID NOT and WILL NOT inject myself with this again  I'm sorry I agreed on the shot.  One of the worst weeks of my life!"


"I have tried the pill and Depo

I didn't mind the pill except I had to take it every day and it made my boobs grow which I hated

I HATED Depo because it made me depressed and fat

Just got Skyla inserted yesterday, I like the idea of an IUD because I get to keep it for 3 years. The insertion process was not bad at all, honest to God. I didn't even know my gyno put it in. However, 10 minutes later I fainted in the waiting room which I am told is a normal reaction. They had to keep me until I regained color and was coherent. The cramps yesterday were AWFUL.

Today I feel great, minimal cramps and I am able to move around just fine.

Can't wait to continue Skyla for the next three years!"


"28lbs lost in 2.5 months using saxenda (dose between .6-1.2) & following doctor's guidelines for eating.  Didn't exercise during the months. I was losing except for physical therapy 1x a week for back.  I'm at a good weight for me (4'11", 106, age 50) and have been maintaining within 2-4lbs for about 2 mos. now but still using saxenda.  Haven't been super strict with diet but not going crazy either.  Added light weight training and walking on treadmill 5-6 days a week right before Christmas.  If I overeat a day or 2 I go back to watching and the weight comes right back down.  Thankfully husband's insurance covers drug because mine doesn't.  Feel great, cholesterol & blood pressure good again, back is better, and clothes fit."


"I am on my 7th day of treatment and have not experienced any of the side effects, except for the skin irritation where the AK's are prevalent."


"I had meniscus repair in December 2015.  The doctor tore my hamstring during the process so I ended up in PT for 6 weeks.  Within a couple of months I was walking 3 miles a day again.  By the end of April my knee was swelling and painful.  Had cortisone shots twice and they didn't help.  Doctor recommended Euflexxa.  I noticed a positive difference after the 1st and 2nd shot for a day or two at at time, both shots did not hurt.  By the time I had the 3rd shot, it hurt so bad I cried and my husband had to carry me out of the dr. office.  My knee has been like a cantaloupe ever since and my other joints are swelling and achy.  Nothing positive has come from these shots for me.  I'm scheduled now for a partial knee replacement this December."


"I was to take 0.50mg each morning as I did. Here is how  risperidone effected me: I would wake up during the night severely sweating, when trying to go to bed I would get shocks, it made me feel so bad and I did not want to do anything. "


"I fell at work on my knees and have had severe pain ever since.  I have been using 50 mg Ultram (Tramadol) for about 3 months and I can honestly say that I am able to function at work and during my daily life.  I have been on hydrocodone and Lortab and both of these medicines make me sleepy and just out of it all day. Ultram helps me quite well but after 5-6 hours I am ready to take another one.  Dosage is 3 times per day/every 6-8 hours.  My family is happy and so am I.  I would recommend this medicine, it truly works."


"I started using Epiduo and it was working perfectly. Then one day around my eyebrows started to hurt then the next day the skin was peeling. It wasn't sunburn for sure because there was no sunshine for days. I put the lotion on it and it stung. Three days later my skin is still peeling, it hurts when I touch it, and my acne is back."


"I had the Implanon put in March of 2009 and had it replaced in March of 2012 because I love it! Insertion was a breeze, and with the exception of the anesthetic, virtually painless. I have not had a full period since that first month with only (extremely) light spotting every few months. I have not had any noticable weight gain or mood swings due to the Implanon and even less outbreaks of acne since starting it. I would say the only downfall is also a perk, not getting my period. I have worried that I was pregnant, but it was just worry. Replacing it was just as effortless as the initial insertion. It can take anywhere from 3-30 min to remove it but it doesn't hurt. You will feel only a little bit of pressure. Mine only took 5 min to remove"


"I love Nexplanon. I've had it for four months now and I was extremely worried because I don't take very well to birth control. I've tried about three different kinds and they all gave me horrible side effects. So I thought I would get the non stop bleeding like they say 70% of women get. But I didn't. I got headaches for the first month and no period for two months. The last two months it's been just a light spotting off and on for about 3-4 days. Which is the length of my normal period.

I don't get any warnings that my period is coming anymore. No cramps, no sore breasts. Nothing. I do get food cravings more often everyday and I have an increased appetite and a tiny scar at the insertion site but that's all."


"started zoloft 25mg but was told to brake  in half for three days then go to the 25mg for two weeks then to 50mg , the first week was hell!!! Was throwing up none stop, horrible diarrhea made my anxiety so much worse, I weighed 85 pounds and went down to 73, was in and out of the er because I needed fluids, after week too I could tell my depression was better but my anxiety was still bad got to the point I couldn't leave my bed, my son missed basketball games had to have my mom go to the store for me, after week 3 on the 50mg doctor  prescribed me  xanax (one a day if needed) it helped a lot with my anxiety but my side effects keep getting worse so the doctor got me off the zoloft, a lot better now off the zoloft and haven't had anxiety in a week,"


"I've been on this for 5 years and when I started taking it I had no mental health issues, not even a drop of depression. Now I have biopolar depressive disorder and severe anxiety disorder with chronic tic's. The doctors now have me taking 700mg a day and because it makes me SO forgetful I have forgot that I took my dose so I ended up having two accidental drug overdoses. I have become extremely tired all the time. I wasn't told that this medication was bad for pregnancy so I have also lost 2 babies because of this horrible pill. To top it all off I still will have a random seizure but just not as often."


"A friend gave me the pills he had left over. He said after a week he didn't need them or cigs anymore. And I desperately wanted to stop. My son would tell me,"Daddy I don't want you to die". That struck me to the core,he's only 6. It's funny because I was the same age when I told my father the same thing, And he stopped. So I went to my Dr and got a prescription. These pills do work! After about the 3rd or 4th day, I noticed my cravings completely diminished. I was still smoking out of habit, but didn't really want or need one. I went a whole week before I had a smoke, and I really hated myself. Like other poster's here stated, they tasted horrible and I wouldn'd have more than a few puffs. That made it worse..why am I smoking?"


"Constipation & sedation...but great pain relief"


"Back in 2013 I started having terrible panic attacks in public. I was agoraphobic with in weeks. Started taking Zoloft in Nov 2016. This month as of May 2017 I have been able to go places by my self that I have not been able to since 2013! It's the most amazing feeling to be able to go out again anxiety free. I think you should give the medicine longer than 4 months. At 4 months I felt good but couldn't go out by my self or go to far from home . I'm on 100mg a day. I had extreme fear of medicine wish I would have seen my doctor sooner. I couldn't even imagine doing what I'm doing now. My life seemed over after 3 years of basically being house bound. When I did go out it was hell. The side effects were not bad at all I have none now."


"My entire functioning life is over with the removal of soma from all Dr's ability to write. Without Soma I'm having a hard time with living and working. "


"I tried the NuvaRing as a sample. Within two weeks I had very bad mood swings, I was anxious and paranoid all the time. I got very naseous and had bad headaches. It put me out of commission for a whole day because I felt so sick. I took it out that day and within hours I felt like I was back to myself. Of course there were still hormones in my system but the nausea and the severe headaches went away almost instantly. As far as the convenience, it was awesome to not have to remember to take a pill. I didn't feel it at all. If I didn't mind feeling like a lunatic all day I would have definitely kept using it."


"So I started taking this medicine because my acne was irritating my skin. In the beginning it worked fine and as time went by I saw my acne was really improving but as soon as I stopped taking it my acne returned, and is now worse then what it used to be. Though the spots are not as big and cystic is has spread more around my face and I now have them on my chin and forehead.  I would advise you not to take the medicine as it might make your skin worse. However everyone has their own experience. I hope that it works for you and if not. I told you so. ps- If you're going to end up taking the tablets anyway then don't bother reading the reviews you're wasting your time. Good luck Amigo"


"The condom broke on 3/11 and my boyfriend finished completely in me and I took the pill immediately after ,  I was so so worried and thought I would be pregnant. Today, 3/17 I started my period. A week earlier than expected. This worked for me!! Don't worry !!"


"Worst pain in the world. I used only one applicator from the monistat 7 pack and it burns like hell. The need to want to take it all out and rip off my area. Im in tears over the burning. Is it supposed to do that ?

Is there a way of soothing that burning sensation from the treatment.?

Totally not a happy camper ."


"By far, the worst experience I've had with any medicine. I almost called an ambulance, no exaggeration. I've never used a product like this before and chose it based on the package implying that you take it, it works overnight, and produces a normal BM the next day. Um, no...I woke up about 2AM confused, sweating, cramping, and could barely stand. I essentially crawled to the toilet and, once there, kept nearly blacking out and gagging. I was clammy and pale, irregular heartbeat, shaking, extremely weak - What literally stopped me from calling 911 was that I didn't bring my phone into the bathroom and after I violently eliminated for a few mins, I started feeling less like I was dying. Can't emphasize enough, this stuff is so effing awful."


"I got immediate relief from my Trigeminal Neuropathy within an hour of taking this medication. This was after having several Radio frequency ablutions which would only last 4-6 weeks. I was suffering for over 7 years. I had tried Neurontin, Topamax, Lamictal, opiates and more."


"I had low intense back pain for 2 yrs. This drug works great & I tolerated it well. I did a 7 day regimen as prescribed. Now I am pain free & will use if I have a flare up. It worked for me & did so after 2hrs of taking it."


"I am in my early forties and menopause hit me at an early age. I struggled with whether or not I should go on HRT due to the risks.  With that said, the symptoms were creating shear havoc in my life (severe hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and decreased libido-my poor husband).  I am happy to say that after my first application, I slept through the night for the first time in two years!  My hot flashes have decreased and I don't have that foggy feeling in my head. I am on Vivelle dot and a progesterone regimen. (light doses).  I began Vivelle dot two weeks ago and would highly recommend it."


"Had 4 treatments 3 weeks apart. Symptoms still hanging on a month after completion are wrinkled fingertips and a slight feeling like I touched a hot cookie sheet. Very sensitive to spicy foods as tongue felt burnt too."


"1 month mark and 19 lbs down. It is working. Contrave costs $70 with their discount code. Insurance does not cover it. Sign up with Conrave online AND use free "Scaledown" membership.  Scaledown will send you a free digital scale that sends weight results wirelessly to program. Then you track your progress online or by mobile. Using both I have lost just under a pound every day. Regarding the side effects. Constipation. If you already are someone with constipation problem it won't make it any better. Increase the leafy greens. I lost my habitual need for coffee, iced coffee, other sweet/savory cravings. It just disappeared. Overeating now results in intestinal cramping probably because of smaller stomach. Protein and Veg is helping to lose."


"This absolutely works.  I quit twice but I needed more than 2 months (doctor did not think so).  When I got a new RX last year, the cost was out of sight...185.00/month.  I had hoped the cost would come down because I know it works.  For now, I am in limbo......"


"I got Nexplanon March 23, 2014. I didn't bruise after getting it and didn't bleed. I don't get many periods, and when I do they're very light. I've had one normal period since getting it. I gained weight but it's nothing I can't lose at the gym. I love this birth control and will definitely be getting it again when the three years is up."


"My 5 year old son was diagnosed yesterday with influenza. When his fever reached almost 104 I took him to urgent care. He got his first dose only at midnight, but I could see a big difference today. Yesterday he was all lethargic and his high grade fever kept coming back every 4 hours. Today his fever was lower and so far, for the last 7 hours, he is fever free! I think this medicine really works if given early enough (my son got it within  30 hours of symptom onset)."


"I've been taking this drug after Lisinopril caused me to cough 24/7.  Started with 5mg for HBP 140/90.  Instantly gained about 20lbs.  Exercise became more difficult; hands fall asleep at night, every night, unless I wear arm braces; swelling in ankles; general feeling of being in a 'fog' and also very easily irritated.  Nodding off around 6pm after work; but force myself to stay awake.  When I go to bed, I have insomnia.  I decided to cut the pill in half, take it at night and now I have joint pains along with other symptoms.  My worst day yet, I just didn't feel right all day; felt confused, anxious to drive to work.  Stopped taking the drug that day and one day later I feel like myself again.  Symptoms fading; will ask doc for diff drug."


"I totally love it! The best medicine that they have ever ever come out with for diabetes type 2!"


"Two hours after the first dose, I had a pounding headache, severe nausea, dizziness/vertigo, a horrible, metallic taste in my mouth. Four hours later the taste has subsided. But headache is still a problem. If I move too quickly, the nausea returns.

On the plus side, the pain from the sinus infection is now tolerable (before it was excruciating). My sense of smell and taste has started to return. And I can breathe again, though this could be due to 2 other medications I was also prescribed (Otrivin and Acetylcystein Hexal).

The last time I took antibiotics, I came down with an awful case of esophageal thrush, more painful that even a sinus infection, which took 1 1/2 months to resolve. So I am waiting to see what will happen."


"I LOVE Belviq! I am just starting my 4th week and have lost 13 lbs but more important I have lost a total of 10 1/2 inches from chest, waist and hips. I feel better, I look better and best of all...no side effects!!! Belviq has helped me curb all my cravings! I have cut out pop, sugar, fast food and most dairy. When I do eat, I am very satisfied on very little. My daily calorie intake is 1200 or below. Now I just need to find time to exercise. Oh and one good side effect is that I sleep like a baby!!! And maybe it does make me a little thirsty but that's okay cuz water is so important to weighthe loss. I try to drink at least 80 oz of water a day. Did I mention I LOVE Belviq? Well I really do! Looking forward to losing 50 more lbs!"


"I started the birth control last summer in August and stopped it this April. For the first 6 months of taking the pill I had no problems at all, I felt normal except I did get acne which went away after about 1-3 months. It shortened my period to about 4-5 days instead of my normal week long and a half periods.   But after 6 months of taking the pill I would sometimes get my period early by about 8 days and then the next month it would be back to normal. Also I would get bad cramps and back aches which appeared after 6 months. This was bothersome to me, especially after the pill working great for about 6 months. The early periods, cramps, and backaches were doable but i decided to switch off it to loestrin 1.5/30."


"Worked great, after the first use my itchiness was gone.  And the skin is slowly going back to its regular color.  Would highly recommend!"


"i have been using depakote for over one year and it has helped me with my manic episodes, i have not had any since i started the medicine, it does not however do much in regards to racing thoughts and helping me stay positive.  hoping for a cure : )"


"I have been on Furosemide for about 6 weeks now.  I was told I would be racing to the bathroom all the time - not!  Probably because I am also on a medicine for "leaking" - Oxybutynin 5 mg one twice daily.  I do not get up at night time, do not go much during the day - about every 4 hours; have gained 12 pounds in a month and my diabetes is no longer under control."


"My husband has had depression and at times severe anxiety for years. He would have anxiety attacks so bad he was sure he was having a full blown heart attack every time, and his anxiety prevented him from sleeping because he was sure he would die in his sleep. His depression was bad as well, he was sure the world would be better off without him. He tried different medications but nothing really worked, some seemed to improve things a little bit but for the most part I had given up hope that any of them really do much. Then he tried Zoloft. For him, this was the one. It took the edge off after about a week, after two weeks I could definitely tell a difference. After about 6 weeks he was back to his normal self."


"I've been on Nexplanon for about one and a half years now. The first 6 months seemed pretty regular. I had no signs of weight gain, my periods were normal.  Everything seemed OK until about a year into it, I started noticing I was gaining some weight. I started to have mood swings and felt very depressed most of the time.  It got so bad to the point that it started affecting mine and my husbands relationship.  Not only that, but I started to gain a significant amount of weight I probably gained about 35 pounds and a good 5 to 6 months. I exercised everyday. I ate very healthy and couldn't shed a pound. I have made a appt. to have this removed."


"I started to take Prozac several months back to get off Effexor. It really made that transition smooth. I take 20mg every other day. I find it helps with Anxiety but, not enough to wean off Klonopin.  I know I'm normally over social and Prozac makes me anti-social. I don't mind because I'm only anti-social with people I don't need to be associated with. I believe my ability to orgasm has improved from Effexor to Prozac. I tend to sleep more than I should, but it's better than tossing and turning. My motivation is at an all time low right now, I don't know if it's the Prozac or work. I gained weight initially,  but it's coming off slowly and evening out. I would recommend Prozac,  it's not as feeling/responsibility numbing as others meds."


"If a doseage has been missed , I can feel the difference within twelve to eighteen hours.  I work a physical day and if not for Spiriva and my Salbutamol inhaler , I wouldn't last a few hours."


"I have started Saxenta this morning ( stated with 0.6 to go up to 1.8, will increase every 4th day as the Dr prescribe).

I was told to expect nausea but been 4 hrs and other then being thirsty nothing at all.

The DR place me on the Saxenta as 7 years ago I was taking   antidepressants and the weight just piled on and could not loose it and start having lots of other health issues.

I hope this will help me loose the weight and get my health back to normal and start exercising again.

By the way the DR place me on the Saxenta 1.8 and  Optifast for the first month, been advice to drink a minimum of 3 Lt of water. Will update as I go ....in a month"


"I have been taking Contrave daily for four months. Week 4- Week 5 was the worst in regards to side effects. I took 1/4 of a Dramamine to counteract the nausea & dizziness as needed. Also, took a stool softener as needed from time to time.

To date, I have lost 32 pounds. Doctor recommended low carb/no carb diet to go along with the Contrave. I also excercize at least three to four days a week. I look forward to reaching my goal with the help of Contrave. Patience is a big part of weight loss. You didn't gain the weight you want to lose over night, you can't lose it all over night."


"I loved this pill and it worked wonderfully for me. As long as I ate with the pill during the first week, I never felt nauseous.

The only reason I'm having to switch now is because my insurance no longer covers enough of it and I can't afford $150 a month.

Very nervous to leave a pill that worked so well for me."


"What a JOKE!  Doesn't do anything unless you count the side effects! You'll only accept constructive criticism, so, avoid a gut ache added to pain, slow burning urination when you NEVER before had an issue. Doctors really need to LISTEN to patients, and stop assuming that they know more about my body than I do. This MAY work for some, or it may be a placebo effect, but for me it did nothing but add to my problems!   Doctors also need to consider QUALITY of life over QUANTITY. I do NOT want to live with this pain, and if they can't or won't give me what works, then let me go. I have enough without risking a stroke too!"


"My 6 year old daughter was put on Daytrana about 8 months after trying Vyvanse and Strattera without success. We had immediate results. She was focused and even her handwriting improved. The patch did leave a red mark that I found Eucerin cream was good for. Here is the but: She developed a tic.  Don't let this discourage you. I know of others on Daytrana who have been taking it for over a year with no tics. It really worked great."


"I get reoccurring Bacterial Vaginitis. This medication is the only one that works. I've used tea tree oil suppositories, & 500mg boric acid suppositories. You can possibly get a yeast infection if you are sensitive. Boric acid suppositories are the only thing that works for clearing up a yeast infection. Bacteria that cause Bacterial Vaginits can be held in the urethra of a man so I would be aware of reoccurring infections with the same partner. Maybe get him treated also. Keep your sugar intake low. Strengthen your immune system.  The gel is more expensive but seems to be soothing. The pills will get you well but do NOT ingest alcohol at all or you will get violently ill. I forgot at a work function once, never again!"


"Patient has had diarrhea at times since beginning this medicine nearly a year ago."


"I was very apprehensive about taking yet another anti-depressant, however, I decided after much prodding from my doctor to give it a try. I suffer from moderate anxiety and depression. I was in denial about it and it took a lot (I mean a lot) of my hair coming out from stress for me to admit that I was not okay. I am a 26 year old woman- so this was a big deal to me. When I first started Pristiq I was determined not to like it. I did suffer from most of the side effects (dry mouth, never hungry, excessive sweating, jitteriness, not feeling "right", and sexual problems) but after sticking it out for about 5 weeks- the side effects really started going away. The only one that I have a problem with now is sometimes my heart will race."


"As far as birth control goes-great. It has prevented unwanted pregnancy for me and my boyfriend for a while now; however, ever since I started this birth control I've been very emotional and very forgetful. It's gotten to the point where I have to write down everything."


"I have been on contrave since October 2016. I have currently lost 30lbs. I started my weight loss in February 2016 at 225lb. I am a 5'9" 35yr female. The first months I was on adipex and lost 50lbs with that plus diet and exercise. I currently weight 145lb and consider myself at a stopping point. I feel contrave  is highly effective. Especially along with the scale down program. I do not have an side effects that bother me to much to stop. Mostly dry mouth. For those of you who don't give it enough time I highly encourage you to give it more time."


"I just recently started my Suboxone induction 2 days ago. I am 20 years old an have been addicted to opiates since I was 17, at worst I was using 4 O.C's a day or 5 baloons of heroin a day. Only using Suboxone for 3 days I am very happy to say I'm starting to feel normal again. No withdrawals at all. I am currently taking 8mg 2 times per day. Without this drug I would be spending 150-200 dollars a day just to feel normal. My goal is to gradually wind myself off of Suboxone and be completely drug free and get my life back. Opiates are by far the worst drugs out there. If anyone at all has a physical dependence on opiates I would strongly recommend SUBOXONE."


"Seemed to work for about two 1/2 weeks, then wore off and
symptoms returned. I would of had to stop taking
anyway due to unbelievable nasal congestion. Tried to stick with it for 3 more weeks, but since I could not breath through
my nose had trouble with sleep also. Also no sperm at all.
Two weeks after stopping still some nasal congestion."


"Two scripts (different mg) Kadian(brand only) therapeutic amount by far the best long acting narcotic I've taken (with Lyrica ,Topomax , Zanaflex, etc). Struck by lightning- neurological effects; fibromyalgia; thoracic outlet syndrome; spinal stenosis in cervical, thoracic & lumbar. 3 level lumbar decompression -power wheelchair; thoracic spinal surgery, and so much more."


"PLEASE READ:

Are you afraid of shaking people's hands? Do pencils slip from your grip? Have sweaty hands during the dead of Winter? Afraid of handling loose change? Do you WANT a change?

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN DRYSOL!

I've had all the above problems and MORE for so many years; I've been embarrassed and socially anxious because of hyperhydrosis. Finally I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommend Drysol. I had never heard of it before, but what more could I lose? My actual hands?

I tried it every night for 4 days now, and it keeps getting better and better. We went to Church today (Christmas) and during the peace offering my hands were completely DRY! I owe my life to this product. God bless them. I recommend it to everyone!!!!!!!!"


"I started Emsam when hospitalized.  My doctor noticed the positive effects before I did.  She noticed I was thinking more clearly and more active.  After 2 weeks I began to notice my mental clarity.  After 1 month I cleaned my house in 1 day and began to shower, dress, apply make up and do my hair every day.  I did not have to think about what need to be done I JUST DID IT.  This was the first time in my life I can ever remember just being ME.  After 6 months I became allergic to the adhesive, I can no longer use Emsam.  What I wouldn't give to once again KNOW WHO I AM.  But I am lost in depression and pain.  I would gladly live with the restriction of Emsam because I WOULD BE LIVING."


"I am taking Benicar HCT 40/25 I have NO sex drive and really bad leg cramps if I stretch, I immediately get a Charlie horse."


"I have been on this pill for about 8 months now, and I go on here and read these reviews and wonder where people are getting this from. I understand everyone's body is different, and reacts differently to different pills. For me, this pill cleared almost all my acne, I haven't gained weight, my super painful cramps have almost vanished, my flow isn't as heavy, the only real bad side effect I have noticed is the mood swings, but even those are not that bad. It's a great pill."

"I just started using Avaine about a 2 weeks ago. I noticed that my breasts feel a bit heavier (which may be a good thing for a small girl like me) but I do notice that I am slightly aggravated at very minor things (Mood swings). Slight cramping here and there but nothing too bad. I also feel a bit bloated during the evening and my appetite has changed. However, this could ALL be in my head because no one else has noticed any physical changes. So I guess, so far so good."


"I've been on Sutent for 18 months, I had my primary tumour removed but have 7 metastities on my aorta, these have all reduced in size by approx. 70%. I have had very managable side effects and put this down to diet change: no sugar, low carb and minimal alcohol. I'm 42 and I'm leading a very active life thanks to Sutent. The only downfall is that I know it stops working after a time but until then I'll cherish every moment with my family."


"The first couple of weeks of Pristiq were rough. The usual side effects, nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness. In the second week a lot of rage erupted, and I had another post traumatic stress disorder flashback. But I persisted throughout all of this, and the rewards are finally here. It's now the end of the third week, and I am feeling energetic, focused and optimistic. Creative ideas seem to flow easier, and I am out there in the world again, taking photos and hiking. This antidepressant is certainly working a lot better than Prozac did, and better than I remember Effexor being. Worth a shot."


"Well prescribed this medicine because I had an earache due to sinus build up. Once I started taking the medication everything was fine but a few days later I developed hives and ringing of the ears for some reason. I am allergic to penicillin but I have never had an antibiotic do this to me."


"I suffer from chronic sinus infections and have been treated with clarithromycin. While it got rid of the more severe issues (facial pain, horribly stuffed nose) I still didn't feel great after. Both times I ended up having to go to an ENT afterwards and start a stronger steroid and antibiotic. To top it off when I was on clarithromycin I had that terrible metallic taste in my mouth that would actually wake me up in the  middle of the night."


"Didn't help. Made me feel weird. Should not be used in teens."


"Seemed to help the first month but after that it didn't and it gave me the dry eyes."


"I liked the implant because I normally have horrible side effects from birth control pills. I had no changes in mood or side effects except for one. I would not stop bleeding. I fluctuated between heavy and light flow but it never stopped. I had it in for a year... never stopped.

If it weren't for this horrible side effect, I would have loved it."


"I have taken Levorphanol for 18-months.  This is the absolute best pain medication I have ever taken. I have Fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and severe lumbar-sacral issues that are too far gone for surgery to help.  This pain medicine has a half-life of 8  hours.  100% of pain is gone... it even relieves nerve pain.  All the pain relief without the foggy 'codone-head' that you get when you take any of the "codones".  It is relatively inexpensive also.  I totally 100% recommend this pain medicine for anyone with moderate to severe chronic pain."


"I fell asleep fast ,but woke very groggy ,all day grogginess ,with head swelling , I reported it to my dr, I was told to keep taking it, I told her no ."


"This medicine is great. I instantly start feeling calm from head to toe. I like the fact that I don't have to wait 30 minutes or so for it to kick in. I would recommend this to anyone that needs to have a day life. I also like that I can take it and still function at work."


"I wanted to try a new Pill other than Sronyx. Sronyx caused very bad depression, weight gain, and a general disinterest in sex. Overall, I guess you can say it was a very effective birth control for me because I never felt like having sex.

My first month on Previfem I experienced slight nausea, and low mood/energy and spotting. However, my acne and oily skin cleared up immediately and I was not expecting this pill to do that. My skin is so clear now. Its a great plus. I have just finished my 2nd month on Previfem and my only real complaint now is the spotting. My mood and energy has improved, but I am still experiencing light spotting 3-4 days after my period is suppose to end. Hopefully, that will clear up as my body adjust to the hormone."


"Taking the liquid form Cherritussin helped my cough very much. It was a great sleep aid when sick, but should not be over used. Also I would add DO NOT TAKE THIS AND THEN DRINK COFFEE! I didn't realize that the stimulant of caffeine mixed with it would bother me. Also check to see if pseudoephedrine is mixed in any way with your codeine as this is also a stimulant and worsens the situation."


"I began taking Celexa during detox for addiction to prescription medication. I honestly thought I would never smile or laugh again - but after about 4 weeks, the fog I was living in lifted and I felt better than ever!  This was the second time went through detox and after the first time, I used Celexa - and once I began feeling good. Unfortunately I stopped and relapsed. Stopping Celexa without tapering was the equivalent to hitting a wall of great sadness.
I have been clean and sober for over 90 days and I believe Celexa plays a huge role in my decision making process."


"I can not believe this drug.I t is truly a miracle. I could not even walk without gasping for breath and I had given up hope that my quality of life would ever be normal. I am so thankful that anoro has helped me live again."


"I think it has made me extremely tired and it's hard for me to sleep at night."


"My daughter was given risperdone for anxiety and agitation she experiences with  medical procedures. I was a little reluctant to give it to her seeing as she is #1 A TODDLER #2 SEIZURE ACTIVITY #3 TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY in past medical history.

I was prescribed this medication by her Neurologist! I have never been so scared un my life...my child had severe visionary problems, nasal congestion and increased heart rate with the first dose. She seemed to literally go Blind! Please ask for alternative meds especially if your child is very young.  I am beyond livid and confused about why she was ever prescribed this medication in the first place. Please don't put another baby through this (or parent)...Just Don't"


"Started taking tramadol in 2009 for back and hip pain. It worked awesome and made me somewhat hyper! Lost 10 pounds, which was good because with that kind of pain you don't want extra weight bearing down on you! Was up to 6/50 mg a day at one point and they seemed to not work as well so I dropped to 3/day for a few years with success. Pain is worse now so I'm back up to 4/day. This is very addictive, I've had horrible withdrawal symptoms if I forget to take one before bedtime. Morning comes and I'm in horrific pain and having withdrawals, not a pretty picture! Usually takes 5 or more hours to get back to normal and be a person again! Also, am nauseous every time I take it but only for about 5 minutes."


"I have cancer after years of smoking. Chemotherapy did not work for me. Then when almost no hope  I got erlotinib (Tarceva). Immediately after my scans it shows that cancer is going into remission. My doctors were very encouraging and slowly I started feeling better. I would feel like I have more energy. I go on walks every day and after 1 year and six months there are no traces of cancer. This made me feel so lucky to live. I started living a very healthy life after my diagnosis. I eat and drink healthy and after 1 year of Tarceva I begin jogging and living a normal life. I am very grateful that God has given me another chance. It is 8 years now that I am now cancer free. "


"Went through a tough time at work which was causing severe anxiety. Called the Dr who prescribed this drug.
Initially felt drowsy and a bit spaced out (this only lasted a day so maybe take in to account when you first start using)
Effects are fantastic! Slowed everything down enough to get clarity of thought, speech & actions without imparing cognitive or physical function. Less reactive & less snappy! Wish I'd known about it earlier.
It won't make issues go away or solve them but it will help take a logical clear view of the situation and hopefully make better decisions."


"It seemed to work for me okay. Then suddenly my already thin hair started falling out by the handful."


"37 year old male, diagnosed worth osteoporosis and osteopenia. Had a long spinal fusion 3 months ago, and have been taking forteo for about 4-5 months now. For the last month and a half, I've just felt all around crappy. Mental fog, chest tightness, shortness of breath, dull headache almost constantly, throat feels like it's swelling shut, feels like a rock in my throat, speaking out loud is becoming labored... I am taking pain meds due to the surgery and wasn't sure if those were the cause of this. After reading the other reviews, it's pointing more towards the forteo. Very interesting. I'll be seeing my doc next week, and I also sent a message to the bone doc that prescribed the forteo. I'll update this post when this is resolved.."


"I was given 25mg to take night time. I found myself waiting hours before it kicks in. Everyone said the next day how well I looked however my brain was a bit fuzzy the following day. I shall use this drug to create a sleep routine and then only use it sparingly for emergencies of sleeplessness. I found myself sleeping through the night for the first time in years."


"I did very well on Abilify lost 114 pounds but I was allergic to it for a year had rashes and moods swings on it so they took me off it yesterday."


"I have been on some form of metoprolol for seven years. It was actually my first prescribed medication at 28. I never even thought about side effects as being the problems I was experiencing; thought there was always something else that the Doctor's was overlooking. Now that I have read these comments, I suffer from most of the common ones; tiredness, weakness, trouble losing weight, strange dreams, increased sweating, difficulty breathing, etc. Have had numerous tests off and on for the last two years, and nothing is ever found. I have also since then started taking clonidine and amlodipine. Some of these symptoms are probably drug interactions. I noticed a chaotic heartbeat when clonidine was added to the medicines. It has gotten worse for the past two years."


"This nasal spray has changed my life. I have suffered from hayfever for the past 5 years. I have tried everything, both prescription and non prescription drugs, herbal stuff, honey, nose filters but nothing has worked. I am extremely allergic to pollen and my symptoms last all year around but gets very bad March-August.
I then suffer with a sore throat, itchy eyes, cough, sneezing 50 times/hour and constantly blowing my nose.
I started using Dymista 3 days ago and ALL my symptoms are gone. I even went for a run outside yesterday and did not sneeze once afterwards. This is something I could never have done before.
Just incredible, I am so happy!!"


"Been on Seasonale for 5 weeks. Results are varied, have had slightly nauseous the first two weeks. Now gave been spotting the last two weeks"


"I was told by my provider this was a great option since I'm horrible with taking pills, I wanted to lose weight, and I didn't want a period, so I got it. I've been on it 1.5 months and I havent stopped bleeding for 12 days, today HUGE clots started coming out and the cramps? Omg they're terrible. I've been so deppressed, and have had no sex drive. I will never use this form of birth control again! I've been eating paleo for a week and am pretty sure I'm heavier then when I ate junk food! I do not recommend at all!"


"Like others that commented here, I experienced immediate results when I began use of Mirvaso. However, it worked so "well" that one of the physicians I work for asked if I was feeling OK as my skin was so devoid of color. Also like others here, within several weeks of beginning use, suddenly my nose and cheeks would be sunburn-red in the middle of the day. I tried using only a tiny bit, and this seems to have helped with that redness. The main reason I decided to keep going with it is that my pores seem much smaller with use, so I do believe the surface of my skin is less inflamed, even if there is some red kickback once in a while. I like the suggestion of mixing it with a bit of moisturizer...that may help even more."


"I've been on this medication for only 5 days and although most side effects normally aren't experienced until about 2 weeks after starting a new medication, with me the effects are almost instant as my body reacts to pills differently then most people, with that said, the only side effect I've had has been inability to orgasm what so ever I don't have a need to fake anything with my wife so she knows but it's just very annoying!!! Other then that, anxiety has been pretty good past few days, I generally avoid crowded areas but went to a couple and didn't have any problems so it's been good for me so far this week."


"I've had Implanon for 3 1/2 months and am very pleased with it. Since it was inserted, I’ve experienced slight spotting, but have never had to use anything more than a panty liner. There have been a few negative side effects (heart burn, some headaches, and slight pain at the insertion sight), but the ease of not having to take a pill everyday far outweighs those slight annoyances. Originally, I was scared to try Implanon, because I had read a lot of negative reviews. In the end, I am happy I chose it and would definitely recommend it to others."


"I got the Nexplanon around 3 months postpartum. I was exclusively breast feeding and figured it would be easier while everything was suppressed from breast feeding. I had a horrible bruise (but who cares?), and low back pain with crampiness (I expected it). I got a period right afterward which was light, but for 2 weeks. That subsided and I thought I was home free! But shortly afterwards I began to get stressed, anxious, irritable, and angry. I thought I might be pregnant, but wasn't. That's when I realized after 4 weeks it's the Nexplanon! I'm getting it out tomorrow. It's so bad that I'm mean to my kids, made my son cry and I can't- just can't be mean mommy anymore. I wish I would have realized sooner it's the Nexplanon."


"I have been taking TriNessa for YEARS!  I believe I started this pill at 17-18 and I'm now 30. I do notice some of the symptoms mentioned (bloating and emotional) however I don't expect the pill to fix that as it's part of menstruation. The week before the placebo pills I get emotional and super bloated but that goes away after my cycle. I would suggest this pill as it's the best one yet for me."


"This works great."


"Prozac worked great for me for about 2 years and then it quit being effective. Apparently this experience is so common it's even called "Prozac poop-out." At age 41 I started taking 10 mg daily, then increased to 20. For the first week or two I felt slightly nauseated and had trouble getting an erection. Then those side-effects vanished, and I felt not only happier but more functional (at the time I was a university professor). I wrote 2 published novels during those two years. A wonderful side-effect is that I gained total ejaculatory control. Suddenly I was the lover I'd always wanted to be! But after the Prozac honeymoon, I found myself feeling anxious and depressed again and the Prozac was just making me sleepy. So I quit. C'est la vie."


"Saw pain Doc went over all my test, MRI results and did an exam. Should have known he was a Nucynta ER pusher by all the posters in the office. Started me off at 150 mg x2 a day , and in the beginning it seem to work alone with Dilaudid fir BT pain. Saw the Doc 2 days before surgery and 3 months on Nucynta ER I told him it wasn't really working for me he said well let's UP your dose to 200 mg 2x a day. I had surgery no issues. Until I started back on the Nucynta ER. I had  hallucinations, loss of memory and violent rage. I don't remember the last two days I was taking the medication. I ended up in the ER 3 days after spine surgery cause I went into a fit of rage. Pain Doc was called he said it was the Nucynta and to stop taking it. Bad drug"


"This is a very good invention! I had my first implant back in 2012. As expected, I had heavy periods which lasted for 3 weeks to a month, and sometimes, my period overlaps monthly. But what happened to me was explained to me by the doctor before I decided to have the implant. That was no biggie actually because I've been having heavy and longer periods even before I had the magic rod. Yes, that's how I call it :) now, I have my 2nd rod inserted last year. I only have my period every 2 months, though still heavy and really lasts long, I am still ok. I just got anemic, but thanks to my iron supplement, I am so ok. Feel free to try. There is no harm in trying, especially if you know what you have to deal with ;)"


"It works great putting me to sleep but it doesn't keep me asleep unfortunately. I only tend to get 2 hours of sleep or so."


"Hi had mine removed after 18 months. Although it is effective the side affects are awful. Extreme fatigue!! Was the worst, instantly felt myself again after having it removed. Put on weight but only because I had no energy. I got really bad deep spots something which I had never suffered from before, some which left scars on my face. I also bled randomly, although it very light it was most days. I had bled for 3 weeks straight when I had it out. I'd never use it again."


"This is the 3rd treatment for RA i have tried.  The 1st was Remicade which helped considerably but I had an allergic reaction so I couldn't use anymore.  The 2nd was Orencia which didn't have an impact at all.  The Actemra is working but I'm experiencing all sorts of side effects like increase in cholesterol and blood pressure as well as blisters and boils over my body.  Kind of scary as it's only been 2 treatments."


"I find Urso has helped me a lot. I do have loose bowels with it sometimes. I also found out if I skip a dose and take two Urso's at once, that's when I have a bowel movement problems. I quit doing that. I do know it's prolonging my life, for this I am thankful."


"I'm dying.  I'm pretty sure of it.  I'm seconds away from getting a spoon to dig this out.  I think it's part acid.  Maybe that's how it kills the yeast.   The burning is at a solid 8 and the itching is a 12 and rising.  I don't remember inviting hell into my vagina, but it happened.  I need an ice cream filled syringe to relieve the burning and itching, but I may opt for a cool bath. Next time I think this is a good idea, I should light a match made of poison oak and stick it my vagina for a few... Maybe I'll get the point."


"My doctor prescribed Junel for acne and I immediately noticed a difference.  I was so hesitant to go on a pill because  but I honestly couldn't be happier, I wish I did it sooner because now I'm paying to correct acne scaring."


"Not a bad anti-inflamatory. Better if taking it with a Vicodin or Percocet."


"One day out of the blue I started having vertigo and balance problems. I was prescribed meclizine for immediate symptoms and a diuretic. The meclizine works if at the very first, and I do mean the very symptoms of vertiginous episode I take a 25 mg tablet. It seems to short circuit the episode but doesn't entirely get rid of it. It short circuits enough I can go about daily activities. I was glad to learn doctors don't really know what causes it, exactly how to treat it, and how long it will last. I hope at some point it will go away but I'm not that hopeful it will in the immediate future.We are planning some travel in the very near future. I will probably start meclizine 3 times a day to help ensure I can enjoy the trips."


"It works on a panic attack like you wouldn't believe and has saved me from all the ER visits throughout my life but I also suffer from deppresion. Xanax did straighten my life out. It is a miracle pill and I recommend it if you have anxiety or panic disorder. I have been on this drug for about 7 years. I'm 30 years old now."


"I suffer from chronic pain and have been on and off opioid therapy for much of my adult life. Because I suffer from chronic pelvic pain, constipation is extremely painful for me. Unfortunately natural and/or gentle laxatives were not strong enough for me, and strong laxatives were too hard on my system, so nothing was working for me until now. I have just started the treatments so I am just taking a little less than the 4 ml dose, twice a week.  So far, each time I have had my shot, I have had a %u2018normal%u2019 bowel movement within one hour. Overall if you are struggling with constipation as a result of pain medications, this very well could be the solution for you. It has been for me."


"Taking Flagyl and Cipro for diverticulitis, and got all the symptoms as everyone else.  Dry mouth, headaches, funny taste in mouth, diarrhea and generally feel sluggish, tired and beside myself.  Though I was the only one feeling like crap but the pain is gone and I too am on a better diet.  Seven days left and I am throwing these empty bottles in the trash!"


"I got recommended by my derm to use this to treat my acne. it literally burnt my face! my skin feels like leather, and in the first 2 days my face started peeling extremely bad, and the burning is too much to take. I do not recommend."


"Does not work as well as I would like. I am prescribed 100mg 4 times a day which I rarely take. Mouth very dry and sometimes difficult to concentrate from about 30 minutes to 90 minutes after a dose. Also take Tylenol and Naproxyn or Celebrex for degenerative arthritis and lumbar "


"I have been dealing with depression for well Over 6 months and just about 2 months ago decided to go to the doctor to seek help with medication to bridge back to benign myself. I first tried Viibryd for a month, worked well for me emotionally and for my moods but I gained weight which triggered deeper depression for me. I am now trying this Brintillex stuff. I have had severe itching throughout my entire body, it gets worse when I'm sitting still and trying to fall asleep at night. I'll be itching my back and legs so hard in my sleep that it wakes me. I have only been on this drug for a month! Totally not worth it. Not to mention the vomiting which makes everything so much worse. I hate the medication guessing game that comes along with this."


"I have been taking phenetermine since August 5, 2016. To date I have lost 39lbs. I did change my eating habits and have a very supportive family. I also had to learn how to say no to food. I weighed 264 now I weigh 225!"


"I suffere from asthma and would frequently come down with bronchitis.  This Zithromax is a lifesaver.  I love how it helps me get over it quickly and I am on my feet again within the week.  Best prescription ever."


"Worked fine for killing the fungus but I have lost my sense of taste.  Doctor said it should come back within a few weeks, I hope so. "


"Been using it for 3 years now and love it until recently for convenience and very easy periods. But it killed my sex drive from the second month using it (unless the ring comes out for a few days) and I have had a few yeast infections and almost constant discharge. Just a little weight gain (5-10 lbs) but larger breasts. Now I am noticing my hair thinning and hair loss (scalp) that has been progressively worsening over the last 2 years and now 5 months (I'm in my 20's) and I hear it can all be related to hormone birth control (it's also listed for the ring). The product is excellent but I may have to switch to a low-dose pill to see if these are side effects and if they wear off."


"I been on accutane a few weeks , I am seeing results! !! Although my Lips are so dry it hurts the dryness is the worse !!vasaline saved my life!!!!!!! I did get rashes on my hands and arms and itching on my legs! But hey my face looks better at the end a few months of suffering is totally worth it!!"


"I've been on it for over 2 months now and I still haven't seen any improvement in my acne, if anything it has been getting progressively worse :(. Can everyone write how long it has taken for yasmin to have an effect because I'm losing hope."


"I started taking YAZ two months into my marriage, and I’m on my third month now. Although I was completely fine the first two months, I’m on Day 7 of the third pack and my mood swings this month have been horrible. I’m crying about every little thing. I even think I’m crazy during my mood swings. I tried on a pair of pants today that did not fit, although my food intake hasn’t changed. Also, after reading other people’s reviews I realized that I’ve gotten dark blue veins all over my legs recently, I just never linked them to the pills. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be on YAZ to be honest, but this probably will be my last month."


"Our son has been taking Qvar since he was diagnosed with coughing asthma when he was 3 and we are generally happy with it. He used to get awful mouth sores from it every  couple of months( despite rinsing with ACT, water, Nistatin, using spacer,  etc) for years. Six month ago, we switched him to rinsing with TheraSol mouth wash (by Oratec) and we had no sores ever since! Hope this can help someone else who might be dealing with something similar."


"Used Bayer Advanced for back pain before bed, slept through the night, which I haven't done for months. I take it every night before bed and can actually sleep."


"Works great. Just very expensive."


"I don't usually need it to fall asleep, but I find I wake more refreshed.  I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and CPAP did not improve my sleep.  I have been experimenting with taking it or not, and I am fairly convinced it makes a positive difference.  But, it is only approved for short term use, so I would like to know about experience with regular use."


"I have been on Femara for 5 years and have not had any reaction.  Very pleased with this medicine."


"Please keep in mind when reading these reviews that every person is different and every experience with medication is unique. I have been on Nuvaring for a little over 1 year. I loved it for the convenience of not needing to remember to take a pill daily. However, I did notice the "belly bloat" about 6-7 months into taking it. I was almost concerned I was pregnant. I have always been lean, and I'm in my mid 20s. My weight and size are fairly consistent. Now, I'm at 12 months in (definitely not pregnant by the way) and I finally am noticing an overall weight gain in addition to my belly bloat. Total, about 10-15 lbs. I loved this method but my self confidence is suffering, so I am stopping (and hoping I see a change, as I am very active!)."


"This medicine seemed to be helping with my anxiety somewhat, but I had to stop taking it because it was making me extremely forgetful! I would forget simple things, like my daughter had to go to school, what I had for lunch, just things you shouldn't forget. I felt in a fog..was very strange. I'm currently looking for another medication to help with my anxiety and depression, so far no luck :("


"Taking Celexa has helped me tremendously.  Since being on it I no longer have constant thoughts of suicide.  I've been on it for 4 months but started to feel relief in just 2 weeks. I had very mild side effects in the beginning like dry mouth but they only lasted for the 1st month."


"If I could rate Xanax higher I would, this is without a doubt the most effective medication I've ever taken for anxiety, and fast acting. I've always dealt with the public speaking anxiety since high school. I'm 29, healthy and active and have never been depressed so that's why I've been reluctant about SSRI's. My GP prescribed Celxa, went up to 20mg and it was a nightmare, had panic attacks and very vivid intrusive thoughts. My GP switched to lexapro @10mg and I still get panic attacks. If I get a panic attack I take a .50mg of Xanax and it takes like 15 min to kick in and I feel great - I hate SSRI's and wish Xanax was a daily med."


"I took this medicine for the first time last night. I woke up several times, and when I woke up in the morning my nerve stress went up at least 3 times more, I was very angry . I will never take it again. I feel like the progress I made was erased."


"Ok so I had very bad morining sickness with my other kids that's was horrible. my sickness lasted all day even lost 15 pounds "


"The only good things about this pill is the comfort of knowing I likely won't get pregnant and that my boyfriend doesn't need a condom but that's about it. I've had a migraine every day since I've started taking it and the nausea is getting unbearable! The only reason I haven't stopped taking it is because I've heard almost all birthcontrol pills cause these side effects."


"I have a degenerative disc disease  in my neck & lower back. I have used ultram for a year. Usually 2 each 50mg. At bedtime . This med seems to work well for me so far."


"I would definitely recommend this for those who don't want a baby just yet. I currently have two boys (3 years and 9 months) I've had this birth control for a month now. The most painful part of this all was the numbing needle in the beginning. I was extremely nervous to try Nexplanon because I was suicidal, very depressed, obese, and have history with migraines. I read the side effects and it stated that Headaches and Depression comes along with Nexplanon, but honestly since being on this birth control. I have been way happier! And but I still get the continuous headaches. Also I haven't had any bleeding and I lost 4 pounds so far! So I give this birth control a 10!"


"After years of having awful period cramps to the point of the first 3 days of it starting I always had to call out of work because I could not do a thing but lay down. Heavy, very heavy bleeding. I have only been on this pill for a month and my first period was actually wonderful. Very light bleeding and almost hard to tell cramps. I even lost 8 pounds without even trying. My face has also cleared up. I have tried all sorts of different birth control, with nothing working closely as well as this. I hope it continues to work this great."


"Very good medication; no complications."
