"I used Aubra for two functions: as a contraceptive, and as a way to reduce acne. I would call it a positive experience since its main function was to reduce risk of pregnancy, and I did not become pregnant while using it.
However, there are side effects (as with any oral contraceptive). Different pills use different kinds of synthetic hormones, each of which may or may not have a different effect on the user's skin.
Aubra is partly comprised of levonorgestrel, which is one of the most androgenic (acne causing) synthetic hormones used in oral contraceptives.
I have been continually breaking out in cystic acne since I started Aubra half a year ago. I am currently in the process of switching to Ortho Tri-Cyclen (lower androgenicity)."


"Hi,  I had a Naltrexone implant inserted three days ago after being alcohol free for 7days. Half an hour after insertion I began to experience diarrhea then extreme coldness and went to bed thinking I'd contracted gastro.  Four hours later severe stomach pains ... for those experiencing these severe spasms I can suggest Imodium it certainly stopped the cramps.  It's now day three, I'm still not myself, still tired but feeling content; no cravings for alcohol or chocolate or coffee;  small appetite!  Feel like I did when I was pregnant 22 years ago ! slightly nauseated all the time couldn't touch coffee, tea or alcohol.   Very few people talk about severe stomach cramps as a side effect and wanted to be able to suggest the Imodium."


"I take Tramadol for sciatic pain in my hip and leg, along with Gabapentin. They for me, relieve my pain very well. I rate this drug a 9 out of 10."


"Axiron seems to be working well for me.  I am 35 and this is my first hormone replacement used so I do not know about how the others might work for me.  I am awaiting my first blood test results after 7 weeks of usage, but I feel honestly like a normal man again.  I don't know how else to put it.  My initial levels were at 140 prior to starting therapy with zero sex drive that was impacting my marriage, fatigue and loss of interest in normal 'fun' things.  Within 3-5 days of starting Axiron my libido returned to teen-age levels, I have ample energy and interest in my normal hobbies again.  The application is a little to get used to, but once I got it, I have no issues.  Otherwise it would have gotten a '10' from me.  Thank you!"


"Seroquel XR is very good. It boost up my energy. After trying other medications this is the best with little side effects. In the morning you feel like staying in bed and weight gain because of hunger craving. "


"I took accutane in the early 1980's after years of unsuccessful treatment by dermatologists.  I was given every antibiotic available, had ultra-violet light treatment, dry ice treatments, liquid nitrogen treatments and then finally X-Ray treatments.  None of these worked.  Accutane cleared my skin quickly and I haven't had a problem in almost 25 years.  I had no serious side effects."


"This is the only drug that works. I've tried everything including allergy shot, etc but to no avail. Thanks!"


"My wisdom tooth crumbled out last week so being referred to get 4 out. In mean time dentist thinks this has caused an infection. I'm in agony on that side of my mouth hurts to swallow etc. Prescribed 7 day course of metronidazole I'm onto the 6th day today and I'm still in agony and having to take painkillers through the night I wish it would go away!  I also have severe ulcerative colitis so I'm on a mixture of meds. These have made me ill since first day I actually nearly fainted Saturday. Slurring my words shaking and hot/feeling sick. Does awful things to your jaw and makes an awful taste.  Personally haven't worked for me I'm allergic to penicillin so this was the best option."


"I've been taking this pill for 2.5 years and am completely satisfied. The first month taking it I had mood swings and nausea, but this is normal! It's the side effects that I feel most birth controls come with.
I rate this a 9/10 because this pill has kept me from pregnancy and cleared my breakouts on my back and chest, but not my face.
I can hide my chest and back, but not so much my face!!
Great contraceptive. I would recommend this to a friend or family member. The "periods" are SUPER light, if anything you probably won't spot during the sugar pill week.
There are many negative feedback about this pill, and I wanted to share my good experience with this birth control. Give it a month or so to kick in and it'll be worth it!"


"My pharmacy switched me over to this from Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and this is the worst thing I have ever taken. At first I was experiencing spotting immediately after being an hour late of taking my pill. It was so bad the first month I spotted for a week and then got my period the next with horrible cramps and headaches. I have been on it for 3 months now and I have spotted every month.  This month I got my period for two days over a week before I was supposed to. In addition to this, I have been experiencing crazy anger & mood swings for the first time. To the point where I got mad at my boyfriend for trying to plan a vacation with me and then cried immediately afterwards. I have also had some pain in my ovaries and broke out more than ever."


"I've been taking Pylera for the last 5 days and I'm feeling really bad. The most horrible effect is that metallic taste I have in my mouth 24hrs a day. I just can't stand it anymore and I have 5 days of treatment remaining."


"If you're looking for fast results don't waste your money. I just started my 4th week on Contrave, 2 pills 2x/day. I'm not sure if Contrave is working for me or not. Before starting Contrave, I took phentermine for 4 months and lost a significant amount of weight, 50+ lbs. Since being on Contrave, almost 1 month I have only lost an additional 5lbs, and I excercise just about every day 2x/day. With Contrave, you do not have that feeling of being on a diet pill, like phentermine. So that may be part of the reason why I'm questioning if it's working. I'm not a fan of taking medicine and to me, the Contrave tablets are large. Also, I feel the need to eat with Contrave. I don't really think it has curbed my appetite, like phentermine. It is $$$$"


"I was having trouble keeping my blood glucose below 120-140. Now I wake up with a level between 90-100. Usually around 100-110 before meals. This medicine along with adhering to a proper diet I have achieved a satisfactory glucose level. It is a challenge to eat properly"


"Used nifedipine in conjunction with other anti-labor medications when experiencing a complete premature rupture of membranes at 23 weeks gestation. Was able to carry to 27 weeks and delivered a healthy daughter."


"One hundred and fifty nine dollars of my hard earned money WASTED! If i had already felt close to death TAMIFLU nearly killed me projectile vomited for three hrs after taking it! Wasn't even nauseous before taking it! Don't do it!"


"The best medicine to help quit opiates. It's the Nicorette for opiate addiction."


"I'm at the two-week point. And while it's still a bit painful to get out of bed, once I do I no longer feel "stoned." There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Days one through five were as follows: 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg.  Then it was a matter of getting my body acclimated to 400 mg, which I thought would never happen.

If you are able to take vacation/sick days/medical leave, I do suggest it. I did not. Either way, just know it does get better within a matter of weeks."

"I have been on and off Adderall for the better part of a decade now.  I am a 26 year old, male.  This drug works wonders if you have the strength to take it as prescribed.  When I take Adderall, without abusing it, I feel I am able to live what a person would call a "normal life".  It helps with my attention, concentration, motivation, I feel I can socialize easier and I perform better at work.    "


"Apri was prescribed to me as my first birth control pill to use..ever. I have been taking them for a month so far. Before Apri, I had been experiencing very tender breasts, break outs, and constant food cravings before my period would start. My period was also very irregular.

After taking Apri, my breasts no longer become painfully tender before my period (period flow is the same but shorter 3-5 days when it used to be 5-8 days). I do not get moody, rather it has not affected my mood at all. I've noticed my breasts getting bigger. No weight loss or gain so far. I have the same appetite but I seem to become fuller sooner."


"I have Migraines often and at times I have had to leave work due to the pain and nausea. My doctor gave me Treximet to try. I was amazed. My migraine eased or completely went away after 45 minutes to 1 hour after I took it and did not make me feel "hung over", drowsy or no other side effects. This medication is my miracle migraine medication."


"so i had unprotected sex about a week ago. The same day i was very worried and took Next Choice.I was very worried the whole time.The next day i woke up i had all the symptoms that was on the package . I was nauseous ,dizzy ,and felt week. About 3 days later i realized some bleeding. i was still unsure if i was prego or not . Today the bleeding was more severe. I did some more research and read that if there is bleeding then you are not prego. So i do recommend Nest choice even though the side effects can be a bother ,but you dont end p perog soo thats good.:)"


"I have IBS-D, I've tried with different drugs, Xifaxan included, but anything helps me too much.

During the first month of taking Viberzi 100mg. my symptoms changed dramatically (in a good way), I started being able to eat different food, included some of the ones that I used to avoid (chocolate, burgers, etc), just felt bloated and had more gas.

But I have to say that after the first month, the effect is declining and now (3th month) is helping a little..

So, better than in the past, but not as helpfull as it was at the begining.

Does anyone felling the same about the declining effect??"


"I have been taking keppra for about four years now. I have had no negative side effects or weird stuff that happens to those on keppra. I plan on taking 2000mg daily so hopefully I will not have any seizures.
"


"It relaxes me so that I no longer hold my upper body rigid and the pain is lessened. I am able to get much needed REM sleep."


"I have been prescribed Citalopram for the 4th time but have started my dose at only 5mg as I get so many bad side effects but the good news is, this is this really works 100% for me once I get used to it! I only wish I had not listened to my doctor who kept tapering me off it but always gave me Zopiclone or Lorazepam to help, only my new GP won't give me either so this is tough right now.  Only on day 3 but remember how I was able to lead a completely normal life once the medication worked. A small price to pay in the end have been ill for almost a year now trying different medication but decided it was tie to go with the one that truly works despite how horrible the start up effects might be ."


"I am a 33 year old female and started taking qysmia approx 1 and a half months ago. On the low dose 3.75 I did not lose a single pound. About a month ago I started the 7.5mg and I am down 18lbs! I have not experienced any horrible side effects. I have experienced a boost in energy, but that may be related to the weight loss. I have been very happy on this medication and will continue my regimen until I reach my goal weight."


"Was using vagifem for several  years and felt felt great no side effects. Was sent the generic yuvafem. Agree about loose tablets and wasting the med as they would fall out of the dispenser. But  when I started having side effects such as weight gain,10 pounds, feet swelling and cramping I switched back to vagifem. Now have to visit gyno to make sure everything is ok."


"I would feel so sleepy and go bed only to find myself still trying to fall asleep hours later. I tried everything you could buy but nothing worked. I was keeping my husband up most nights getting up and down and he finally said you have to do something. I went to my doctor and he put me on trazodone and since the very first night of taking I have had no trouble at all. I call it my miracle sleep aid and would highly recommend. It don't make you feel dopey or wake groggy. I give a 10 "


"I was on Remicade for five years and the Crohn's Disease went into remission BUT it did a number on my immune system.  I got staph infection and eventually a septic hip.  Had to have hip surgery which consisted of a spacer for 6 months as well as medication through a pic line.  In hospital for three and a 1/2 months and nearly another 3 months at home before I was in condition to have a hip replacement.  I also have kidney disease which is partly due to medications I took while fighting Crohn's disease.  Just waiting to die and get these diseases over with.   Really consider the side effects of Remicade - septic hip was not mentioned."


"I'm a 15 year old girl who started off with Vyvanse for a year but became anorexic. I switched off to Concerta! The first couple of years I felt so amazing because I have never experienced what it felt like to succeed after trying so much. Then I got to High School. My meds ended a relationship. I was always paranoid and extremely nervous. I am like a robot now. I'm either extremely emotionless, really mad, or really paranoid. My friends tell me that it's like talking to a stranger. I get frustrated so easily and don't care about anyone or anything around me. I don't want to be taken off my meds because I'm really successful. But should I really have to choose between my loved ones and school. I shouldn't have to pick."


"I have been dealing with bad breathe for about 1 year and been to my internal medicine doctor and my dentist and they said I was fine. I wasn't ok with this answer so I went to see an ENT doctor. He then prescribed me Ceftin 500 mg tablets to take twice a day with food. This is the miracle drug. I have only been taking it for 3 wks out of the 4wks I was prescribed the drug and can already tell a difference. I go back in 1 week to have a CT scan of my sinuses to see if the bacterial infection has cleared up. I would recommend this to anyone who is suffering with the symptoms it treats."


"Sominex is a great mild sedative. Although it does have a bit fo a hangover effect in the morning, this typically only lasts an hour or so. I've been taking this stuff nightly for about a week and it's the best over the counter stuff you can get for sleep."


"I've had outbreaks with cold sores for about 10 years now on average 1-2x year, the last few years primarily due to stress and weather changes. The main key to the success of Valtrex - as with any OTC, prescription or home remedy for cold sores/fever blisters - is timing. Take it at the first tingle. I keep Valtrex refilled and keep it handy, regardless of whether I need it. I felt a tingle and a bump the other day, took it and it has helped tremendously. It's been 48 hours now and it has progressed past a slight red bump with no pain or bleeding. I haven't had a major outbreak in over 2 years. If you are able, keep it handy. As someone who has had some dreadful experiences with cold sores, I can say it works-but timing is important."


"I was just finishing my last glass of part one wondering how long til I'm hitting the bathroom.So I googled my inquiry and this review site popped up. I must have read several reviews, belching away the bloatingness and I read how the reviewers' stomach rumbled,and so mine began- I started after 7 pm,chugged first three down pretty timely, just trying to avoid feeling nauseous, I can deal with bubble guts but not vomit.  Last one went kinda slow, but I finished and a few sips of Gatorade and I'm on the way. Not bad-this stuff is going to do the trick!  The taste isn't that bad, just a salty version of lemon Gatorade.  Not thick at all.  If you have sensitive buds, it may be harder to finish, but take your time,keep cold and u r good 2 go- literally!"


"I have been on Lunesta, 2mg, for almost a year now and by far, this is the best sleep medication out there. Although, with this medicine I have had little to no side effects at all. Only thing is, I have had sleep walking  occurrences but overall, this is an excellent sleep aid and pricey too."


"My dr wanted me to try this medicine after being very successful on phentermine which is MUCH cheaper. So contract gave me some stupid contrave card that charge me $60 a month - much more expensive than phentermine but for that price I'd try it. So now after about a year they jacked the price up with no notice right when I went to refill it to $92 no warning no reason and it's putting my life at risk to have no pills to wean off and no way to pay for the sudden increase.  So whatever you do, I won't even start this drug even if they pretend they will give you a cut price because they will suddenly increase it after you're on it hoping you can just pay it to avoid the  consequences of going off of it cold turkey, good luck"


"I started Saxenda on 6/1/17. I titrated the dose as prescribed. The first day I was overcome by chills and severe nausea. I had to sit down on a walk with my husband. I had a salad and pizza, ate my normal portion, but felt very ill afterwards I continued the 0.6 mg for a week and lost 5lbs. If I hadn't seen a significant weight loss, I doubt I would have continued this medication. I increased my medication and switched injecting in the morning to the evening, which helped me sleep through the side effects of nausea, sweats, shaking. It also helped me reduce my 3 cups of coffee to one and a much smaller breakfast than usual. End of week two, 12 lbs down. I'm on week 3, I've lost a total of 21 lbs and counting. I do go to the gym 3 days per week"


"I've been on Aviane for a little under a month now and I'm 19.  This is my first birth control.  I've never had acne and have started breaking out. The first week I had severe nausea, fatigue and cramps, the second week was fine aside from general moodiness, and then the first day of the third week I got my period and am now on day 9 of bleeding. I started birth control to shorten the absurd length of my period due to my extremely busy schedule, but this birth control has given me is a lighter but no shorter period, extreme fatigue, and a mean/cranky demeanor."


"Hi everyone. I am 25 years old married with a 6 month old son. I was diagnosed with severe ADHD at the age of about 10...I'm talking horrible behavior, bad grades, constant moving, etc. my mother told the doctors no medicine at that age. Then around 12 my mother caved in and gave me the adderall, I hated bc of the instant side effects for me.  I continued to take it until about 14 and I made a 100% improvement.  At 14 I learned to cope with the ADHD on my own. But now 11 years later in the real world with many stresses, my ADHD had gotten worse then ever, to the point that my wife wanted to leave me because she couldn't handle it.  I got my prescription back and my life is amazing.. 30mg IR 3x a day 1 in a.m 1 after lunch 1 on way home from work."


"Just took my 2nd dose of Trulicity. I am OVER IT!! Aching so bad all over, feeling like I have been hit and run over by a semi. Severe aching in legs and mid-back and arms. Muscle twitching and the scary thing is after about 5 hours of taking shot...my lips swell and Can hardly feel my tongue. My lips and tongue feel swollen and numb. This is scary!! Plus sinuses are swollen, which I DO NOT NEED!! Fight sinus issues on daily basis don't need med to make them swell. Pain in back of neck and head as well. No more of Trulicity for this person. I AM OVER IT"


"This medication has changed my life!!! I only regret that I did not take it sooner (like in my 20's) After suffering through years of acne and struggling to get pregnant when I wanted (frustrating business when your not ovulating at all) and people asking constantly if I was pregnant (due to my big fat tummy that I could NEVER get rid of...) I finally found Metformin.  Now, not only has my skin cleared up, my weight also came off AND I was able to have my beautiful 4th child easily - because my periods have become bang on regular.  I am so blessed to have had four children with polycystic ovarian syndrome but it was a long road trying for most of them.  This medicine HAS changed my life in that it has given me ME back - the CONFIDENT ME I am supposed to be."


"This drug is great. I have been more stable than ever, since I started taking it. I have to take it at night though, because it makes me super sleepy if I take it during the day. I can hardly sleep and get manicky if I don't take it for a while. I don't get any side effects either. I was taking two 80mg pills at night, but now I only take two 60 mg pills. I lost weight while on this medication. Sleepiness is HORRIBLE if I take it during the day. I, at one point, was taking 80mg twice per day, but I almost got fired! I would fall asleep at work. It was an uncontrollable sleepiness. No matter what I did to stay awake, I couldn't. two 80mg at night made me sleep until real late, so that's why I take two 60mg pills at night. Haven't been manic."


"I have been on many different birth controls, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Yaz, Yasmin, Mercette, and this is by far the best.  Initially when you start it the first few month you may experience breakthrough bleeding but this stops by month three. I usually take it around the same time everyday which prevents spotting.  It has cleared up my skin for the most part besides that occasional pimple before my period.  My mood swings are the best on this pill, and there is absolutely no weight gain or off balance of hormones where you feel the side effects of taking hormones.  I recommend this birth control to anyone but just be patient with the adjustment it takes to get acclimated to your body."


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


"I have struggled with obsessive compulsive disorder since I was 6 years old hiding it from family and friends because I had no idea what was going on when I was little. I then got so stressed I had shooting pain through my whole body and went on Cymbalta for 6 months then got off of it and was back to normal with no pain, just OCD. I then got sick with vomiting, couldn't eat, felt scared to be alone. My doctor told me it was anxiety. He gave Zoloft 25 mg and stared me on it really slow. I am on 50mg and a half once a day and I am back to normal....no vomiting or no bad thoughts. I still have some bad moments of OCD but they don't last long. I have recommend this to people! I am 26 years old and finally can enjoy my life."


"Kept me from getting pregnant, but that was the only positive effect this medicine had on me. In a year I went from 120 pounds to 180lb, my face was always covered in acne, and I had ridiculous mood swings. Right after I had the implant removed, I lost ten pounds and my skin began to clear up. While this is my personal experience, some girls I know with the implant have no issues with it. Just be careful when choosing a birth control method."


"I have been on Gilenya 5 months now and am seeing benefits.  My right leg has begun to have movement from the knee down and there is a reduction in the Ataxia in both my legs and arms.  Walking has become noticeably more stable and overall improved."


"I have recently gotten my very first yeast infection. At first I tried apple cider vinegar soaks. It temporary halted the itching but came back 30 minutes to an hour later. Three days of this my mother suggested Monistat 7. I am only on day 2 and I'm quite pleased the itching went down almost 90% and almost no discharge. I also bought some Vagisil medicated wipes for the small bit of itching. I've read quite a bit of reviews that said it burned so bad, however I didn't  have that experience. It felt a little warm and I had a small bit of cramping about 30 min after the application (it only lasted about 15 minutes) Nothing to serious. But was able to sleep through the night with waking up to itch."


"I have been on all sorts of meds. Wellbutrin was beautiful but my throat swelled up and I broke out in hives. They  have tried lithium (scary rashes that took 4 months to clear) some other ones that made me worse or rashes. Latuda is the first that has been close to the awesomeness of Wellbutrin. I have more energy, eat less, fog like state of not fully "being there" is gone. I feel like a different person. The first week was nauseating but that went away and lasted a half hour at a time. When I bumped up to 40mg the nausea came back. My kidneys seem to be hurting but I am going with a wait and see if that goes away as well. I do not want to be taken off. Meds are hard to find that work."


"I've suffered with moderate acne since I was 13 and tried EVERYTHING right down to home remedies and nothing seemed to work until I was prescribed tretinoin 0.1 cream along with minocycline, but the cream did leave a residue on my face that would Peel in the shower and left flakiness along with redness at first but after a few weeks your skin looks brand new and all the unevenness goes away and your skin just overall looks healthy. Aveeno lotion helps with the dryness! Highly recommend it!"


"I have suffered with cluster headaches since I was in my twenties.  I am now 61 and still get them, sometimes every few months and sometimes I can go several years, but when they hit, the are debilitating and I never know how many days or weeks they will continue. My physician gave me a sample to try as I had been having these headaches almost everyday for 2 or more weeks.  Within 30-45 minutes the pressure and pain were gone and my drooping, puffy eye looked normal again.  I plan to ask my doctor if he can prescribe a larger quantity so I can take them during these lengthy episodes.  I would love to be part of a study on the efficacy of this drug on cluster headache patients.  Wish I had known about it sooner."


"I started my journey at 236 and today I am at the beginning of my third week I have lost 8lbs so far. I am excited to see what the switch in doses has in store. I have found that I have a little bit of insomnia every so often and that Coke Zero does taste differently. I find myself only wanting to eat when hungry, not all day long like I was before."


"I wanted to try seasonique for the 4 periods a year.  On my 1st month I started bleeding on the 3 week and still bleeding 3 weeks later.  The bleeding is really annoying and doesn't seem to be letting up.  It's thicker consistency and small clots.  I will give this a little more time but so far I'm not happy at all!! After reading other comments it seems more bleeding is expected then what's advertised!  :("

"I have been on Tri Sprintec for almost 2 years now.  I have not had any of the mood swings or nausea, but every now and again I do get a weird odor.  I have considered changing to a different pill, but the low cost is a huge plus to me right now.  I asked my husband if he's noticed any odor, but he hasn't.  LOL or so he says....  I am overall happy with the product though."


"This med is usually prescribed for anxiety but I'm taking it for post-surgical nerve pain. It is truly a miracle. I take a tiny dose of 0.25mg and it lasts for 14-18 hours! The only downside to it is that it can cause dependency & you eventually get used to it and have to increase the dosage. For that reason alone I don't take it every day although I'd love to."


"Got bitten by a tick 5 years ago - finally diagnosed as Lyme in Germany.  Live in Mexico in the winter, and here my doctor gives me a shot of Meloxicam about once a month, and within a few hours, I am literally pain free for weeks, and have had no side effects whatsoever, and it takes away the swelling in my joints that is extremely debilitating!  Lots of energy and this shot has literally saved my life and sanity!"


"My Doctor prescribed me one 15mg tablet of phen to take in the am daily. I just got done with my 4 months. I started January 1st at 223lbs today I am at 186lbs. I went from a pants size 18-20 to 14. The only negative was the dry mouth  (gave me a reason to drink more water) and sometimes confusion. All in all a great kickstart."


"I'm 35 weeks pregnant. None of the antibiotics cleared the infection I had. Doctor prescribed azithromycin 500mg (2 tablets as a single dose). I took them. Experienced crazy diarrhea. Felt nauseous, but debt throw up. Pretty sure the meds have worked. Concerned with what to eat now. Now to get to full term and have a safe vaginal delivery. .."


"For post-chemo nausea, this works better than ondanestron (Zofran) for me."


"Xanax is like putting a band-aid over a wound that needs stitches. This med helped take the edge off my anxiety and am thankful for it. It will NOT treat GAD properly because you'll be dependent with too many doses, but is a godsend for panic disorders. I still struggle with anxiety (anger, headaches, worrying, crazy thoughts). It helped me be able to sleep, socialize, not have panic attacks at work, great sex drive and I feel calm. I was prescribed 0.5mg twice a day, usually took less otherwise I'd be sleeping all day, only could go about a day without it then I need it again for anxiety. The biggest downside is that it makes me REALLY tired, lazy, poor memory sometimes. When mixed with alcohol I get very angry. Will be looking into SSRIs."


"No bad side effects, but minimal pain relief in lower back.  I did notice lowered tension in shoulders and it felt a lot like Flexaril. Flexaril really causes some bad side efffects for me. Skelaxin had no side effects that I noticed, just not right for my condition. I'll give it credit for lowering general muscular tension though."


"I was switched to this medication after finding out that Gildess FE 1.5/30 had been recalled. I feel so much better on this pill compared to Gildess. I've been taking Blisovi for about 8 months and have periods that are light and last 2-4 days. Cramping is more mild compared to not being on birth control while the bloating I have in my lower body before periods is comparable to not taking birth control. I experience slight breast tenderness toward the end of the pill pack and headaches for a couple days when beginning a new pack. All the side effects I have had are mild and easier to deal with than not taking birth control, plus it prevents pregnancy."


"
My bf and I had a condom break and I panicked because I've NEVER had something like that happen before and on top of that I was supposed to ovulate the same day well I took plan b that same day within 12 hours and I today I finally got my period almost a week early!! My advice is to try not to panic plan b does what it's supposed to and just relax and your body will take care of the rest. My only concern is if my periods will be back on track since taking it. But that's it."


"30 plus years of MDD and many different drugs and combos. This is the only thing I've taken where I don't feel like I am fighting my depression on a daily, hourly, sometimes "minutely" basis. Life is still life - with ups and downs, but I am feeling more like the person I was meant to be without MDD. Much more social, confident, proactive. More open in general to other people and relationships. I take 2mg with cymbalta."


"After a health scare I opted to try chantix even though I was a bit nervous about the side effects.  So far I am amazed with how well it's working.  Definitely got some nausea (pretty bad) and headaches but helped a lot if taken with food.  Dreams were vivid and I remember them more but nothing awful.  I just started a week ago and stop smoking fully 3 days ago - obviously long road ahead, but I can't believe how easy this has been.  I have had no withdrawal symptoms, very few cravings - which I can easily shake off.  I've been smoking a pack a day for 20 years and never thought I quit!  I highly recommend."


"I've had neuropathy for around 8 months. My first dose of Neurontin (300mg) made me feel very "loopy" for several hours. So loopy that I only took 150mg 1x a day for the next two weeks. I had a couple of good days on it and sometimes the medicines took the edge off my pain. But it didn't take the pain away fully and made me extremely moody and act out of character. I have two genetic diseases that makes me sensitive to medication so that might be why Neurontin was not effective for me."


"I was diagnosed with toxic psychosis due to cannabis abuse and this medicine saved my life while no other medicine could end my delusions and paranoia. I am very thankful."


"I'm lucky. I got Tramadol 150mg (super strong) after breaking my tibia. With an external fixer, some nights are trouble free, others I don't sleep at all for the chronic pain. The only effective pain relief til now has been the Tramadol. I only use them when nothing else works, and nothing else works, quite like Tramadol. Luckily I don't suffer from too many side effects (except drowsiness) But 150mg is a strong dose, knocks me right out. some people also need antiemetics to tolerate them as they commonly cause nausea. As far as I know, Tramadol is one level down from morphine in the treatment of chronic pain. "


"Ativan has a troublesome history of abuse and ignorance associated with it. People expecting some magical pill to solve all their problems on a daily basis, following the advise of a doctor rather than there own body. I lead a stressful life and sometimes there's no amount of relaxing watching movies etc to get my body to calm down. I always want to get up and run workout etc. If used properly it's a lifesaving medication for me, losing my hair from stress Gilberts syndrome etc finally I am able to enjoy my life again enjoy movies etc. Used properly it's a tool I wish to have at my touch at all times available. Responsibility and moderation to all. "


"This is the first pill I have ever taken that is hormone related, and the main reason was for acne. Within the first week all my acne was gone, and never broke out for the year! But after a year, my acne started coming back, and I am now on Yasmin, I was hoping for the same flawless face effect, but I still break out tremendously, especially compared to when I was on Yaz. I'm going to get off Yasmin because the pill just it isn't helping with my acne anymore. However, I enjoyed that year of flawless skin! I didn't have to worry about applying a full face of makeup to leave the house for 5 minutes! Now I'm back to wearing makeup all the time! I hope I find something that works soon."


"Never normally share but I started taking Sertraline after feeling very depressed, emotional and even some thoughts of suicide. I made an appointment with my doctor and he put me on 50mg, after taking this for two months there was talks of putting it up to 100mg. I couldn't think of anything worse. The first few days of taking 50mg I felt a little better, as the weeks went on I just went down hill and was in a dark spiral, my anxiety became worse than it has ever been, I barely left the house, I couldn't cope no longer and I lost hope. I eventually realised the tablets were making me feeling a lot worse so have stopped taking them... I am starting to feel a little better already"


"I was out of options. Blowing my nose every five minutes and not being able to breathe. I tried saline spray but 2 minutes after it was to do all over again. I went to the pharmacy and asked what could I do because I was tired of not sleeping and not breathing and I was loosing my patience when it came to eating because I got so irritated of losing my breath. She said use drixoral and instantly!! It worked! I highly recommend it"


"I had very bad acne and  the Doctor prescribed me some duac. Within days I could see results and within a few weeks it had all cleared up. It changed my life I now feel so much better about myself"


"Depakote made me go slow on everything I did. I was a totally different person. My family thought I was on harsh drugs, I didn't function at all on 1200mg. Now I am on quetiapine and citalopram and my moods have totally stabilized. I am a different person."


"6 years ago I got put on Implanon and had no negative side effects. The three years were up so I switched to the pill for a couple of years and then decided to get put back on it but it changed to Nexplanon. I figured it wouldn't be that much of a difference... I was wrong... I have been breaking out, my face is constantly oily, and I have gained weight... I have had it in since May 2015 and am getting it taken out Feb 2016... I can't handle it. Lol"


"My problem started with severe uvetis/iritis (inflammation of the iris) for which I was under a eye specialist care. This went on for almost 3 yrs before the Dr was able to get it under control. I lost a lot of vision the the left eye (it was in both eyes). Eventually I became aware that I had tested positive for Lyme disease in 2005 but was never treated for it. I continued to have severe pain around the left eye that was incapacitating. I finally found a Lyme Dr. after much pain, agony, & suffering. I was told I had trigemial neuropathy in my left eye. I was given carbamazepine 100mg x2 per day. I have only been taking it prn but after reading other peoples experience I believe I need to take it every day to get the full effect . Thank Yo"


"This review will not completely apply to most people as I am bipolar II and am extremely sensitive to some kinds of medicines.
It normally takes me a very long time to fall asleep (sometimes until dawn) but once I am I stay asleep and get plenty of rest. On Singulair I once couldn't fall asleep until about 12:00 in the afternoon after going to bed at 11:00 pm the night before, and I would often wake up multiple times while sleeping. My anxiety was much higher, I was significantly more depressed, and my previously very well stabilized mood was once again destabilized. I also had some water retention weight gain. Was absolutely amazing for my asthma though, so I guess that's something. Really wish it played nice with my sleep and bipolar."


"I have been on this pill for 9 months now. Maybe it is because I am small, 5' 2". Since I've taken this pill my weight went from 117 to 144. My moody swings are obvious and I always breakout before my period where as before I never did. Yes I did gain breast weight but my pants all hate me. I want to try a completely new birth control method since no pill seems to be low hormone enough for me. "


"I was on Cymbalta for 5 days. It helped my anxiety, but I couldn't handle the side effects: nausea, extreme sleepiness and yawning for the better part of the day, feeling zombie-like, chills, clenching my jaw, headache. I stopped taking it after 5 days, and the withdrawal was terrible. I felt like I'd been hit my a truck: terrible headache and clenching of jaw. And I'd only been on 30 mg for 5 days. Even if I could have tolerated the side effects, I would have been worried about the withdrawal."


"So far I have been on yaz for about two weeks, my dermatologist recommended it for me because I was having really bad break outs. So far it has cleared up my skin and I also feel as though my breasts have been getting bigger (which I want). I was on the depot shot for a year and it was terrible. My dermo told me that birth control causes break outs. I also lost a extremely unhealthy amount of weight on the shot. Ever since quitting the depo shot and going to Yaz, I've been back to my normal self and my normal energy. I'm also slowly getting back to a healthy weight."


"Rocephin is like a miracle I am always getting sick with ear infections, strep throat, and one shot is all it takes and with 2 to 4 hours I feel so much better."


"I take it everyday with painkillers, without the painkillers it's useless. Have been trying it for weeks now."


"My doctor prescribed this medication to me after some routine blood work that was done, and my family were completely against it so I did not get the pill right away until labor day weekend when I realized I'm eating like a pig and all my hard work with the trainer and dieting were gone, I grabbed the prescription and started it on 09/07/15 around 6pm I felt nauseous, thirsty and did not have the urge to eat at all and I couldn't sleep very well then the next day I took the pill after lunch time around maybe 2pm and I felt nauseous but boy I had to remind myself to eat lol which is GREAT. I still feel like I can't sleep well and I know I have barely started but if this keeps up then I'm ok! :)"


"I am taking doxy (capsules) along with clarithromyin for almost 2 months now because of a skin infection. The first day I took the cocktail (had to take both twice a day) I got a headache so strong that I couldn’t put my head on the pillow. I asked the dr and told me to take the doxy alone to see if there were any changes. As I started to take it alone, I did no feel the headaches any more so I incorporated the clarithromicin but with a two hour difference. In my second month, the pharmacist gave me tablets instead of capsules and I cannot stand them! Nor alone or with the clarithromicine whatsoever. Headaches are horrible! Stop  taking them. I’m not really sure if it was cause of the change from capsules to tablets though."


"Zoloft has helped me so much so far. I have spent the last three months getting worse and worse. Panic, anxiety and depression. I was on Wellbutrine but it just seemed to make me worse.

Two days after starting Zoloft (I take it before I go to bed), I woke up happy. I felt normal - like myself! I don't know about the sexual side effects yet because frankly it was difficult to want to be intimate when I was living in an emotional hell.

Thank you Zoloft!! "


"No side effects of note.  Waves of euphoria.  Craved sweets."


"Dismal results from other restless legs syndrome medicines, 500 mg Horizant has been a welcome relief. Especially the nausea that always accompanied the other medicines. Noticed relief the first day. While it hasn't completely eliminated the restless legs syndrome issue, I can easily say it has made an 80-90% improvement. Minimal side effects noted  slightly itchy skin and occasional watery eyes. PLUS I am  sleeping much better"


"I couldn't live without this medicine. Elmiron works I just wish it was cheaper."


"Felt more attentive and helped take away depression I had lived with for years."


"I'm 16, and I had really bad acne on my cheeks especially, the first couple of nights of using the cream made my skin pretty dry and flakey. The first thing I noticed with the cream is it got rid of all my pus filled pimples straight away. It took a while maybe 2 months, but by the my acne had cleared up so much! There were a lot of red marks left behind but that's alright because they're not overly noticeable and they will fade away with time. For anyone that is suffering with acne, just go see a gp or a dermatologist, overcome the fear and the embarrassment of acne because the results are so satisfying."


"Helped in combination with Nicotine patch to stop smoking. Stopped finally after 3rd attempt."


"I had to come home early from work, thought I needed the ER. Called my sis and she said to try Uricalm first.

SOOOO glad I took her advice. I went from fetal position with nausea and pain to almost complete relief in less than an hour. LESS THAN AN HOUR! I've never written a review for anything in my life, but this was beyond amazing that I couldn't help but pass this along to fellow hurting mamas.

I'm still cranberrying and antibiotic-ing it up but my symptoms have totally subsided. From tears to cheers!! I'm in total disbelief! (Hahaha I sound like an infomercial, but I promise I'm real!! ;) good luck!!"


"I rated this a 4 because it has been in my arm since December 17th, 2012, and just a few months it finally comes out. I have had nothing but trouble with this thing. My first period on it was 3 months long. 3 MONTHS LONG! I was told that my periods would be lighter, and less time, as a week was my normal. Oh no. Not anymore. When it comes its at LEAST 2 weeks. These past 2 months have been horrendous. I was on 3 weeks, with super bad cramps, off ONE WEEK and its been 2 weeks on again and the cramps are horrifying. I was told several times to let my body adjust, its normal... Its been 2 and a half years, and I'm not dubbing this 'normal'. This thing cannot come out soon enough. It worked on the not getting pregnant part."


"It is  is totally ineffective for over-active bladder , spasms , and other related systems .
I'm dropping it as a medication ."


"Yasmin is the worst!
I went on it to clear my acne and it made me feel like I was going crazy. Anxiety, depression and de realisation. I constantly cried and was clingy to my loved ones. I am so angry my doctor prescribed this pill without telling me about the side effects! It was only after going on the Internet did I realise just how dangerous this pill is! Stay away from it!!! I stopped as soon as I made the connection, that it was making me a different person I've never felt paranoid in my life until Yasmin!  It was hard coming off too, first week hard, second week much better and by the second cycle I was finally 100%. be aware!! If you've started this pill and feeling depressed its Yasmin!!"


"Went to see the doctor 3 months ago. I wasn't sure what was wrong with me. First visit I told the doc my symptoms.(fatigue, tense muscles, shortness of breath, light headed) The doctor said it might be allergies. He gave me hydroxyzine 25MG. I started with with one dose every 4 hours. They seem to help me breath easier and relax me. "


"I am 18 years old and my dermatologist prescribed Trinessa for acne, I have taken it for 3 months. I have experienced pretty much every side effect on the list. I feel nauseous for every day on the first week of the pack and on most other days too! I have only gained a few pounds because of the extreme increase in appetite, but I've lost the weight since. My breasts have grown a whole cup size even though I was already a D. And my breasts are always sore to the touch. I have occasional mood swings that make me very sad at times. On the bright side, my acne has gotten significantly better and my hair is shiny and grows really fast! Also my insurance completely covers it, it is literally $0! That's a plus as well!"


"Omg..very first YI soIi tried the one day treatment around 11:45pm last night. Was okay until around 4am. Woke up feeling very uncomfortable. The feeling is like a tampon not in all the way and the burning is horrible. I better not feel like this for 2-3 days. I just want to cry"


"Not my first YI rodeo. First time using the ovule.. Intense burning.. Where is the sandpaper when you need it!  I was on fire before, but OMG! I sucked it up, the next day was better. Today day 3 very minor symptoms. I guess if you want to only use a one day cure there will be more medication and it seems like more burning. So if you can't handle it use the 3 or 7 day treatment."


"Update - Now over one year taking Tikosyn (500 ug twice a day) in combination with metoprolol (25 mg, twice a day) Went from 100% persistent atrial fibrillation to 5% occasional episodes. Some side effects (dry mouth, dry eyes, a little fatigue (unless I force myself to be active), but nothing as debilitating as atrial fibrillation.  Still highly recommend this therapy!"


"My Dad was put on Breo for his COPD however he had asthma as well. The breo made him worse and the doctor told him it needed to get into his system for it to work properly. Well after being on it for 3 weeks he died!"


"It took care of my endometriosis but the side effects were terrible. Not so much the hot flashes but the mood swings/depression. "


"Worst bc I've ever taken. I thought it be nice to be able to skip my period so my doctor prescribed me this. I get breakouts bad worse then if I'm not even on bc. I also get spotting and full blown periods way before the inactive pills. I'm on 3rd pack 1st week and having my period. I ordered new bc hopefully it comes soon. I wouldn't recommend this bc at all"


"Injections every 6 months for 3 years"


"I am 22 years old and I have always had sweating issues in conditions that did not call for it. Recently it has gotten very bad. Cant make it through a workday of retail without a 6 inch diameter sweat stain. I have had a series of interviews for an internship and the combination of nervousness and hyperhidrosis = catastrophic amounts of sweat and pit stains. This is what really motivated me to seek help.

Tried it last night, didn't notice much irritation at all. Used a tiny amount and My doctor also recommended putting on a thin layer of moisturizing girl deodorant to help with irritation. Today I am sweat free so far. I will update after a few days."


"After having to be taken away in an ambulance from work I spent 5 hours in the ER due to all of the side effects  from the pill. My friend who's a medic thought I was having some kind of seizure. I've had 3 friends tell me they've  had terrible experiences on this pill. I'm definitely switching."


"Seroquel XR worked very well for me with a combination of Seroquel and Zoloft together. I've been well for over 3 years now. Usually I would fall in to a depression with in a year just taking an antidepressent Because my body would build a tolerance to the medications. I know this medicine isn't for everyone, but I've had a very good experience and I'm stable and happy."


"I can't stand up without it."


"I have been on Cymbalta for the last 2 weeks. The side effects have been difficult, stomach pain, the first few nights I couldn't sleep and thoughts raced through my mind, I was also having severe suicidal thoughts and I was still waking up from the pain and tingling sensation in my arms and shoulders. this is week three and I find that my mood has improved, but I'm sweating a lot. the fibro pain is present and I'm tired a lot. I tried taking it at night but find my chest hurting the next day so I switched to mornings on a full stomach and that's improved the stomach pain. I have restless leg and if I'm late on taking my next dose I'm jittery. I don't really know if its working for my pain, but my mood is much better, I'm not suicidal."


"I've been taking Xarelto for 1 month now for pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. I haven't experienced many side effects. It seems to be working great except my period is extremely heavy and I'm taking an iron supplement."


"I started taking the depo shot  in 2012 after my son was born.

I absolutely have no problems up to date.Within the first shot,I stopped getting periods.I spot a teeny tiny but when it's close to get the shot again.but such as hair loss.weight gain and acne and all the other side effects,i have none.I'm satisfied with the shot"


"This medication is a life saver! On the costly side, but for me, worth every penny. I have had no side effects. I can finally sleep through the night.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!"


"Oral meds did not bring down the A1c nor the fasting blood sugars which stayed in the 140s and kept climbing. .

I have now been on Lantus for 6 months, titrated dose every Saturday increasing dose by 4 units per week until my fasting blood sugars are averaging 100, A1c is  in normal rang now. Have not had any hypoglycemia bouts which happened with the oral meds. I give this insulin a two thumbs up."


"I started taking birth control mainly for acne. I've had severe body acne since I was a teen. It's been so bad that I've been embarrassed to wear clothes that even expose my shoulders since my skin resembles a Dalmatian. I'm 22 now and I've tried all sorts treatments including head and shoulders, zinc supplements, ointments galore, and salicylic acid. None had a lasting change.

Then finally, I went on birth control for the first time. Wow. At last. I am on week 3. No new acne, anywhere. My skin is even less oily, red, and irritated.

As a bonus, my breast seems fuller! I haven't had any mood swings, bloating or cramps. (I was very worried about that before). Just exercise and stay positive!"


"It's amazing. Zero side effects. I feel "Normal". These reviews scared me but my Dr encouraged me to try for myself and see.

Lexapro put 10 kilos on me.
Edeonax made me the sickest I have ever been in my life and was a bloody nightmare. After that ordeal I was so scared to take Cymbalta.

My energy is amazing now.
Anxiety, panic attacks and social anxiety feel mild but manageable- like I have a chance."


"Absolutely amazing product!!!!!! My face looked like a 14 year old boy's does when he is going through puberty.  I began putting Atralin on nightly along with taking an PRObiotic (instead of taking an ANTIbiotic which is soooo bad for your gut) and my face did appear to be worse during the first week and a half but then all of a sudden it began clearing up sooo quickly!!!! I've been using it a little less than a month and still get a few pimples but it is so much better. Can't wait to see how it works within the next 3 months! I already see fine lines and acne scars improving!!!! AMAZING!"


"This was given to me through an IV before an ICD implant. It worked fast and in less than a minute I was totally relaxed and a little sleepy. I don't remember being wheeled into the OR or being put under. Really helped relieve all anxiety I had before surgery."


"I had migraines 1-2 times each week. Likely this was stress headaches, but after a week of taking this for bi-polar I stopped having the headaches/migraines all together. This was a life changer with 2 benefits and no side effects."


"Loved it. I suffer from chronic pain from MS and back issues and this medication is very good for my pain. I take 4 8mg tabs a day along with opana 40mg and that seems to do the job"


"I've been taking this med for more than  a year.  My mental health provider gave me this after she took away  my clanazipan.  I take 75 my a couple hours before bed and I love how it makes fall asleep.  I do wake up a couple times a night but I don't stay up for a couple  hours like I used to.  I easily fall back to sleep."


"This is truly the best medicine/treatment for fibromyalgia or CFS. It's such a shame that most people with these awful illnesses can't get it. I dont wake up 2-4 hours after my first dose to take my second. I feel like that was truly for people who have narcolepsy. When I wake up naturally after my first dose I take my second dose. I'm truly sad for all who don't even get the chance to try this. The FDA would rather people take their lives than let them have a treatment that works for fibromyalgia and CFS."


"I have tonic-clonic seizures due to a malignant tumor in my frontal lobe.  I was prescribed phenytoin, which controlled the seizures but my doctors could not get my blood levels stable so I was constantly oscillating from sub-therapeutic to toxic.  After 6 months of trial and error with no success, I was switched to Keppra.  Keppra failed to control the seizures and I became hyperactive, easily agitated, and began having suicidal thoughts. My doctor made me switch back to phenytoin. The FDA recently required the manufacturer of Keppra to change the warning label to include these as known adverse reactions in some patients."


"Within two weeks my blood pressure came down from well over 200, 190s and 180s down to averages of 140's and below.  Incredible because for several years it was extremely high and I had a stroke in my eye because of it.

I'm thrilled with the results because no other medicine worked."


"I had an allergic reaction to hair dye. At first the doctors prescribed antihistamines, calamine lotion, hydrocortisone cream etc but nothing worked. I was then prescribed prednisolone 5mg 6 x per day, I also used aloe vera gel and after 2 days I can safely say I am on the mend. I wouldn't wish this severe itching, red, angry burning swollen lumps on anyone. But this is working for me. I hope this helps your concerns with the same problem."


"I have chronic IBS and I had the diarrhea  IBS when I was young  I'd go before dinner is over now I don't go in weeks and if I do they are pearls ;(
 I went to the dr 2 days ago I got a sample my dr said you don't bloat or cramp when you take this which was not true . I looked this up because I'm in such dying pain   . I've been miserable for 2 hours now and I've gone 12 times . Every time I sit down I get stomach pains I run to the bathroom to explode, I'm getting leg cramps from sitting to much I was using a heating pad. Now my butt burns I need butt paste  to heal and for the last hour I've had  contractions of pain. Nausea, chills, and anxiety to go again with panic and a burned butt with poo looking particles of sand "


"Within 1 week of taking 1 tablet , my auditory hallucinations had nearly disappeared and then increased the amount to 1 1/2 tablets and was and am amazed this product. Its giving me my life back again......"


"Today was the first day I started Harvoni, I was pretty anxious before taking it this morning.  I took One tablet this morning at 6 AM, and the only thing I noticed was a little fatigue, and the fatigue was definitely manageable and didn't impact my day at all.  I went to the gym and worked on my car, fixing brake pads and wheel bearings.  So I figure if I can handle this kind of work on day one, this medication sounds like the miracle pill everyone has said it is.  Feeling Optimistic and grateful for science and research."


"Its been over a month using the over the counter.  I posted previously.   I had started out using once every three days and then went to every two days to make sure no issues.  Skin got very dry at first.

Apply each evening about two hours before going to bed.  In the AM I apply Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture with Sunscreen SPF 35 and re-apply as needed.

Had several blackheads mature during the month.  Some were under the skin surface.  All gone.  A few whiteheads.  Skin has calmed down considerable.  Skin seems healthier. No longer use Benzoyl Peroxide."


"I had been on this medication in the past and discontinued usage after I got pregnant. I  started back a few months ago, not realizing what the side effects were. I started gaining weight incredibly fast with no change to my diet and exercise and wasn't going to the bathroom unless I used a laxative. I was stumped and depressed about it up until yesterday when I spoke with a GI doctor. FINALLY I had an answer only after many visits to my family doctor and many co-payments which added up quickly (with no solution). Needless to say, I am so relieved to finally know what is going on with me... 20 lbs later but I see the light at the end of tunnel. Hope this helps."


"I had unknowingly suffered from ADHD-PI for my entire life. I was constantly in trouble for losing my things, not paying attention in class, forgetting conversations, being unable to understand conversations, so on and so forth. My life was a wreck. My parents constantly told me that I was lazy and worthless. After I joined the military, I was diagnosed with ADHD and Adderall was the first and only medication that I was put on. I went from being the clumsy loser to the office hero. I recently started college and so far, I'm getting straight A's. This medication makes me cool, logical and focused. I took off a star because it makes me forget to eat sometimes and that makes me tired."


"So far so good...helping with the restlessness and unwanted movements."


"I used this cream for my acne and about 3 months later it cleared up my skin. However it did leave my skin Itchy, dry and very red. I stopped using the cream for about a month and use it occasionally when I get a spot, but when I go to take it off I have a red mask on! It's worse than having spots to be fair. I have red patches everywhere and it takes a while to go. Does anyone know how to get rid of the red itchy skin?"


"Was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knee today.  Pain was so bad last night, I only slept on and off.  I was in tears and the spasms were constant.  600mg of ibuprofen didn't touch it.  My doctor prescribed Mobic and Osteo Bi-flex.  Took my first dose at 2pm.  By 8pm that evening all pain and spasms were gone and I will be able to sleep pain free tonight.  I am so happy I could cry - the relief is like gold in my pocket!  I can walk without limping or shuffling for the first time in 2 weeks."


"It works great."


"I first got on Nexplanon in March of 2015. Within 2 weeks I got a very heavy & painful period which lasted for 3 months. Within 6 weeks I started getting very painful facial break outs. In addition to these breakouts, started getting thicker facial hair, more than the normal peach fuzz. But I would say the WORST part of this birth control is that I gained over 40 lbs in one year. I went from being 130 to 172 in 12 months- without any diet changes. I work out 3-4 times a week and I still could not stop the weight gain.  I felt disgusted with myself."


"I am 7 years post Kidney transplant. I have been taking Gengraf and Myfortic for about 4 years. I have had no problems with rejection.  I started out taking Cellcept and Neoral but had to change because of my insurance made it too expensive.  "


"I am allergic to penicillin so the next course of meds for me is Biaxin for everything. I had Pneumonia in Nov and they gave me two bottles of antibiotics before I felt somewhat better, however, the cough kind of lingered on a little but the breathing was the worst. Ended up at urgent care 3 times in March and first time, asthma and they gave me inhalers even though I disagree, 2nd trip, Singulair for sinuses and an inhaler, 3rd trip, two inhalers and Biaxin, last trip and at this point beyond mad because I couldn't breath, I couldn't go anywhere as I'd use my inhaler sometimes 10 times a day. Finally, she put me on a powder puffer and Alevox. I just finished the Alevox yesterday and haven't felt this good since last September. It's my miracle."


"My granddaughter started Kapvay and she is almost 10 years old. She has been diagnosed with ADD. She was using Intuniv,  but 1 mg not enough for attention and 2 mg made her so so tired.

Started Kapvay and WOW…cannot sleep….huge blister on her lip….legs hurt so bad. She is almost 10 but small, she weighs 47 pounds (she was 2.8 lb preemie-11 weeks early). Have to stop medicine. I also read that it was not a great choice for ADD alone."


"I started out with Vicodin 5mg to 10mg, than to a combination of oxycontin 40mg twice a day with the use of about 8 x 10mg of percocets in between the days. I tried to get off multiple times but as you all already know its almost impossible unless you enjoy agony and pain. I finally found 1 doctor on this whole island of mine that can prescribe the drug. Her directions was to wait 48 hours before starting, it was the weekend and I couldn't get a hold of her to ask if I could take it once I felt the withdrawals. I took it 10 hours after my last dose of percocet. I felt relieved about 20 minutes later. It was exactly 1 week from the time I started and don't need it. My advice, get off it in 1 week. Take my advice it worked."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Everyone's differvent but for me personally. 26 year old, 160 pounds, sorta in shape. I felt permanently hung over with a metallic taste in my mouth. Lack of sleep as week really hit me. Try to stay active or entertained. Take time off work if you can. After a while everything feels like a dream"


"I started Victoza just over 3 weeks ago and I have had no side effects whatsoever.  I feel great and am losing weight, and for the first time in my life I've experienced feeling full and satisfied.  I've never had that feeling before.  I've felt full (after eating much more than when on this drug) but never satisfied.  It was a remarkable feeling.  I've had a great experience and I hope to continue as I've a lot to lose.  However, I do fear the potential for pancreatic cancer and will do more research on this."


"Started in mid-February 2017 with 2-wk "free" dose and then went to monthly regular dose of 7.5 mg. Started at 258 lbs and have lost about 10 lbs in about 3 wks with minimal exercise...just brisk walking for 30-45 mins at lunch.  The biggest change is it stops me from thinking about eating as a really enjoyable experience.  In the past I would have obsessed about the weekend BBQ or would have gone for two helpings of pasta because it was so good. Now, I eat about 1/2 of that and don't find even that to be super delicious.  That's a little sad, huh?  Anyway, feeling healthier and besides being a little short tempered now and then, no other side effects (51 yr old male)"


"Injection was virtually painless. Noticeable decrease in pain within hours of first injection. It's now been 5 days and I'm pleased with results."


"I told myself I would write a review once I got my next period. Here I am! I'd been told it works by everyone I know, but of course I did the absolute WORST thing you can do and that's searching google until you've actually been convinced you're pregnant because of some blog or comment. I bet most of you, if not all, are doing the same thing right now or you wouldn't be reading this! DO NOT do this to yourself. I had sex, the condom broke, and my boyfriend came inside me. Even worse, it was the day I was supposed to be ovulating. Took the plan b one-step about 6 hours later. Cramped really bad a day later. About 5 days later I spotted for about 4 days. My period skipped a month as well. So if you are late, do not panic!! Plan B does work!"


"I LOVED smoking and tried several times to go cold turkey and failed miserably. And I tried Chantix twice before it actually worked. The first two times I was given just the starter packet because I was having surgery and I smoked right through those. The third time I was given the full regiment and by the beginning of the third packet I no longer had a craving to smoke. And get this my friends my pardner is a heavy smoker and still I don't feel the cravings. Of course we never have smoked in the house which is a blessing ( I don't have smokey walls and windows to clean). And I was a two to three pack a day smoker. It's been a year and I can honestly say I'm a non-smoker. Thank you Chantix!"


"Never have been on birth control and started this pill a week ago. Doctor told me to start right away so I took the first row and started on a Thursday. I was also on my last day of my period. 6 days later I started spotting and I've been somewhat on my period since then. Also. my mood swings are like a rollercoaster. Is this normal for birth control because my body is adjusting?"


"I'd tried other anti-depressants and anxiety meds off and on (following the death of my child) and with this one I've really noticed a difference.  I describe it as feeling a sense of relief from the darkness and anxiety.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps working.  No major side-effects to speak of.  I think these kinds of meds work for some folks, not for others.  You just have to give it a try to see if it works for you.

Wishing you all wellness!"


"I have been suffering with depression and anxiety for a while. I really didn't want to go to the doctors or take any medication that would give bad side effects. So I did my research and came across St Johns Wort. It says to take 1 tablet a day after a meal but I take 1 in the morning and then 1 at dinner time. I've been taking these for only a week now and I can already notice a difference in the first time I took them. My depression was so bad I wanted to commit suicide. But these have helped me so much. They have calmed my mood drastically and make me feel like I want to live and enjoy my life for the first time in ages. Thank you sooooooooooo much!! I highly recommend :)"


"It works great. Haven't had any of the side effects. Helps my prolapse and migraines."


"I have been trying to get my blood pressure under control for years!  My doctor has put me on a few medicines and after a while they just seem to not do much good.  My doctor gave me  EDARBYCLOR 40*/12.5 , twice a day.  In about 3-4 days my BP was lowing, which was VERY good, however I did notice I was having tummy problems."


"I have been on Gleevec for about 10 years now, with absolutely NO side effects, except for one!  After my hair grew back, it was curly all over my head.  Makes hair styles quite easy at my age of 71."


"I have been on Septra for about 5 days now & still no relief!! I'm EXTREMELY  nauseous & I can't sleep through the night because the pain is that bad. I'm on my way back to the Emergency Room."


"Did an amazing job at getting me back to normal although I still suffer from panic attacks in my sleep. This also helped me greatly with my depression and made me feel normal again. "


"I was using the birth control ring for 5+ years.  In May, 2016 I switched to the Ortho Evra patch. I was given the Xulane birth control patch, the generic form of Ortho Evra. I've not had a single problem. . .  UNTIL NOW!  The first week of March I put a new patch on my lower abdomen. Within 6-8 hours I had a raised, burning, itchy rash under the patch.  I'd never had this problem before no matter where I place the patch. I removed that patch and put a new patch on my upper shoulder. Within 5 hours another raised, itchy burning rash under the patch. I removed that patch. Now I have two square raised, red, burning, itchy rash spots!!  Needless to say I have to stop Xulane. Not sure what to use now."


"I had chest congestion for about a week, and when I talked to my friends I would start coughing.  This was what the doctor prescribed and when the pharmacist gave me the medicine, she explained the side effects to me and to drink liquids too.  I took my dose from a 5 ml plastic cup.  I have taken 3 doses so far.  The effects on me were dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and nausea.  My head was spinning so much I couldn't stand up.  Sometimes I would cause me to fall asleep, but sleep was helpful. The nausea was unpleasant.  After two days I felt better.  This was strong medicine to take, but it was better taking it at night.  Otherwise it knocks me right out."


"I started taking this medicine about 2 months ago and have not had a period since! No weight gain, no cramping, nothing. I love it!"


"Benign artrial fibrillation.  Cardiologist tried everything -- next step was surgery.  Was having from 10-15 six hour episodes per month and ruining quality of life.   Have been on flecainide for 2 years and it is now completely under control.  Only episodes I've had were a year ago during a bronchitis episode but as soon as antibiotics kicked in the a-fib was gone again.  Absolutely no side effects and this medicine has changed my life."


"This drug is dangerous. I am a healthy 22 year old guy. Around 2.5 months into a six month course of 60mg/day roaccutane I developed severe depression, anxiety and psychosis. I have no family history of mental illness and had never been depressed in my life before this. Everything caused me to panic, I couldn't leave the house or even talk to my parents. It felt like the drug had taken control of my mind. I shook uncontrollably and couldn't eat or sleep. For a week after stopping, I could barely function without breaking down.  This drug will improve your skin, but trust me, its not worth it, however desperate you feel. Think carefully."


"I have been on this at least a year on 10mg 2x a day, I've had unexplained weight gain and my headaches haven't gotten better. I've been to nutrition specialist and stepping up the exercise and tried to eat better but no matter what I do I still gain weight and my doctor's keep telling me that I'm not taking anything that would cause weight gain! Now they have doubled my dosage."


"OK so I'm going to start this off by saying like everybody else I promised  to write a review if this were edited so here I am writing well both of our experiences. I'm a guy  I'm writing the experience I had with my girlfriend on  December 20 me and my girlfriend had sex with a condom that came  off and I finished inside of her we both started freaking out so immediately I went to go get the Plan B bill  my girlfriend took it  and she experienced lower abdominal pain nothing else she will schedule to get her period on the 5 or 6 of  January  For 15 days  we were both freaking out if the  pill is going to work or not and thank God it did she get her period  A day earlier  we were both so happy and here I am writing the review today on January 4"


"I suffer from indoor allergies especially during the winter.  I also have a cat that I love and will not get rid of just because I am stuffy and blowing my nose in the morning.  When Nasacort began being advertised a lot recently due to it now being available Over The Counter I decided to try it. I was amazed to find that after just using it once at night (since I feel the worst upon waking up) I woke to open sinuses and not once did I need to blow my nose!  Wow!  I have been using it now for about 4 days and it continues to work fantastically all day.  I work in a school and sometimes the air is so dry and irritating and I will have sneezing fits.  I feel great at work and my nose and sinuses are never a problem at all during the day."


"Neurontin has changed my life dramatically. I suffered from high anxiety with panic and anxiety attacks. I started this medicine at about 19 and had been off and on it the past 13 years. It literally has made me a new person. When I don't use it I notice a lot of fatigue, worry, anxiety, etc. When I am using this medication, I can concentrate on the better side of things and am not so negative. In the beginning it did have some side effects such as a "loopy" feeling. Over time that did pass, and now gives me energy to get through the day. I am on 300mg 3 x day. I can also sleep much easier, and my carpal tunnel syndrome is dramatically better. Before I felt very snappy and impatient, now I handle things with a much more calm disposition. Love it."


"I am taking Adipex to lose weight. I started at 211, and in three months I've lost 33 pounds.  That might not seem like much, but I am thrilled.  I have always been physically active, but my eating habits were so horrible I never lost weight.  With Adipex, I do not think about food constantly like I used to.  I truly feel like I have broken free of my obsession with food. I eat well balanced and reasonable amounts of food, and I never deprive myself of anything I want. I lose weight on these pills with or without exercise.  But PLEASE! Don't think this is a miracle cure, it's a tool to help you. I hope you use the opportunity to change your life."


"I am about to start my third pack of Chateal. Background on me: I'm 27 years old, married, and have had one child (almost 6yo), no other pregnancies. Before I had my daughter I had a very regular cycle. For the past few years things have become very irregular. My Dr. Has run many tests and doesn't have  an explanation for it, but decided to have me try b/c pills to regulate my cycle. The first month was not great. I spotted for 2+ weeks. No other symptoms to speak of. This past month I got my period 24 hours after taking my  first green (placebo) pill. Had an average period in terms of length and flow. No spotting! So I think I've adjusted to it. Hoping this month goes smoothly as well."


"I took antibiotics for a couple of decades. Accutane in the mid-90's.  That had a positive impact for 2 years and then the oil glands geared back up and acne again.

Doxycycline for roughly another 10 years.  Plus Benzoclinze OTC wash and topical treatments such as Differin and Retin A.

Autoimmune issues from allergies to hair loss developed.

Prescribed spiranolactone to help reduce androgens - hair loss and acne treatment.

My acne appears in odd places like scalp, inside ears plus face and my upper back and neck.  The oil produced can best be described as feeling like bacon grease.

Med works for acne/oil reduction.

Stopped for a month and regret it.  Oil production and acne.  Plus, hair loss."


"I've been taking Belvique 2-1/2 months. Down 30 pounds and it keeps on coming off. I'm a believer. I took my time researching, and got full a full physical, cardio, and blood work first. The first 1-2 weeks didn't show any real results, but also, no side effects either. After 2 weeks, the weight started dropping and hasn't stopped. Still NO side effects. My advice: if you are significantly overweight, that weight may be more dangerous to you that the possible side effects of this. While taking, continue periodic check-ins with your doctor and get blood work (at least quarterly). Take multi-vitamins. You still need to choose the right foods, but this will help you feel full with reduced portion sizes. Also, use one of the fitness apps!"


"I HAD BEEN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT MEDS FOR DEPRESSION & ANXIETY.  STARTING WITH PAXIL, PROZAC AND OTHERS I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAMES OF. I STARTED EFFEXOR A YEAR AGO AND IT CERTAINLY WORKS FOR ME, FOR BOTH DEPRESSION & ANXIETY.  REMEMBER TO TAKE IT EVERYDAY. ALL SSRIs CAUSE SEVERE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. IF YOU WANT TO DISCONTINUE USE, TELL YOUR DR.  COLD TURKEY IS NOT ONLY DEBILITATING IT IS DANGEROUS. I AM SO THANKFUL I HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED EFFEXOR. FINALLY RELIEF FROM THINGS THAT ARE NO BIG DEAL! WHERE AS BEFORE IN MY HEAD, IT WAS SO EXAGGERATED. I LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE STATED, I WISH THIS WAS AVAILABLE IN MY TEEN YEARS. I AM ENJOYING LIFE AND AM EXTREMELY HAPPY!"


"I am 32 yrs old, and have no allergies to anything.  After taking this drug I had depression, hallucinations and very odd thoughts, and felt no consequences to anything I did...so I looked up the side effects, and I had almost everyone.  I went to another doctor and she advised me that this drug has profound mental side effects in adults."


"These antispasmodics did nothing for me. I was still doubled over in pain hours later.  I also was very light-headed and dizzy and my physician ignored my reactions to the medicines.  Not a good experience."


"The doctor prescribe this for my anxiety not realizing what I was taking after taking for a year I decided to look up the clonazepam and found out what I was really taken and how hard it is to get off of it has been pure hell  how  can something be so good but so bad I tell everyone stay clear of this medication and go alternative because the withdrawals are evil it has been a total nightmare trying to get off of this pill and I am on a low dose .05  this pill was supposed to help my life not ruin it.  The headaches are unbearable the nauseous is miserable and the dizziness is in sane  everyone please stay clear of this medicine  because when you try to get off of it is pure hell nightmare"


"I had been on Zoloft for about a year or so which helped manage my anxiety, but didn't help when it came to a very stressful day or event that led to side effects like racing heart, labored breathing, sweating, stomach ulcers, etc. I needed something that I could take immediately to stave an anxiety attack off. My doctor prescribed Klonopin and I'm so grateful for it. For me, it doesn't make me tired, lethargic, or dull me down. I was afraid of a medication that would just sedate me. This drug takes the edge off and makes me feel good enough to continue with my day. I haven't had any side effects."


"My dentist prescribed some amoxicillin after tooth extraction, supposedly to prevent infection. The diarrhea after 3 days was bad enough to stop taking this medicine.  Well, since no sign of infection was present or ever present and I needed to spend time outside of a bathroom anyway.  That 3-day love affair was it for me and Amoxicillin.

Despite the literatures' claims that ALL antimicrobials cause diarrhea, this is the first one that actually caused it for me.  I think I'm going to claim an allergy to this one from now on."


"It was alright and helped a bit however being on one of the highest doses, missing a dosage was abysmal, one of the worst experiences ever. Try to find something else."


"Have been on this medication for 4 yrs for Anxiety Disorder & Fibromyalgia. Cymbalta has definitely helped with both conditions. Without it, I'd be in an almost constant state of Anxiety & the Fibromyalgia flare-ups would be much worse. (Found this out when I reduced the dose from 60 mgs a day to 30mgs every other day, after hitting the expensive Medicare "donut hole" last year. That reduction also caused severe depression within a month and I've never been diagnosed with depression!). My side effects include some gastrointestinal problems & 30 lb. weight gain, despite daily exercise/diet. (All SSRI's cause weight gain for me). Hate the extra weight gain, but it's better than having Anxiety/Fibromyalgia pain."


"I was boiling water to make some tea. And long story short the pot was at the end of the stove I turned around and all the boiling water straight to my whole ankle. Worst pain I've ever been in. 2nd degree burn rushed to the hospital was in pain for about an hour. "Now I know when you get burned run it through cold water 15min " anyways after and hour they put some silver sulfadiazine cream. And the cold cream gave me the biggest relief.   I'm going on 3 weeks applying it twice a day. And my skin is beginning to grow the new layer of skin. I'm impressed to say this cream does wonders"


"I was diagnosed with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria 3 months ago. I have dermographism, where my skin itches during the day, and if I scratch it, I get terrible red patches on my body which stay for an hour or two and looks terrible. I tried every single second generation antihistamine and non of them helped. Zyrtec finally gave me the relief I wanted. I take one pill in the morning with no side effects and I almost don't feel any itch during the day. Since I don't itch, I don't need to scratch myself and don't get hives. I give 8 starts because it doesn't completely cure CIU, but it helps me to manage my symptoms."


"I was on this pill for a little over 3 months and this pill made my life hell! The only good thing about this pill is I didn't get pregnant, but this pill made me extremely depressed and very irritable. The last month I was on the pill I had my period for 3 weeks and it was still continuing when I switched to my new birth control, and the month before I had my period or 10 days. I would not recommend this birth control to anyone!"


"This helps my fibromyalgia pain along with Lyrica. I hate taking the medicines but I hate the pain even more."


"I found out about 5 years ago I had a sleeping disorder. I would fall asleep driven seating at Red lights and even at work. I never wanted to do anything but sleep. But now my Dr. Has me on Methylphenidate er 24 hr 40mg. Once a day and also ritilin 20mgs once a day. And now I can drive and work and not be scared to fall asleep. So now I can get on with my life and do things with my wife and sons and not want to sleep. It has changed my life for the best."


"67 years old with deteriorating disc disease and neuropathy.   I was on 1200 mg of ibuprofen  for five years. My doctor would only continue prescribing the prescription strength ibuprofen if I took a proton pump inhibitor.   I was extremely reluctant because of the side effects of a proton pump inhibitor or as I also have mild osteoporosis.  My gynecologist recommended Limbrel 500 as a replacement for the ibuprofen. I've been on Limbrel for two years. I've had no side effects and it works as well as  Ibuprofen"


"Had been given this medicine when I was 8 weeks pregnant. I had contracted Giardia and was told I needed to have an abortion.  After exhausting all my efforts with local doctors and the like I called the CDC.  This was 1998.  I was placed on this med, and completed 14 days of the med and within 4 days the giardia was was back.  They doubled the doses and within 14 days I was cured again.  Just in time to get past my 1st trimester.  My daughter is 17 years old, She is highly allergic to penicillin and cephasporins.  And in 2012 I was diagnosed with breast cancer, with no family history.  Makes you wonder, but I have my baby <3"


"Went to see my neurologist for usual migraine check up, med refills, treatment. While there he suggested Botox (another story DO NOT DO IT, I am in horrible non stop pain) since I was in the middle of an episode I got a Toradol injection and this NEW Onzetra Nasal. Not a fan of anything going up my nose should have went with my gut instinct. You put one opening in a nostril the other in your mouth and blow. Like blowing up balloon, blowing powder through out your nose, soft palette and throat. It felt like sucking salt water up your nose, the pain was immediate, eye watering, dizzying, nose pinching, nauseous pain. I coughed, gagged, cried wanted to scream. 3 days later am worse than ever pain, shaking, incapacitated. Not worth it."


"I've only been on the Tri-Sprintec pill for a little bit to help my acne clear up and regulate my periods. So the first few days have been fine, but my vagina itches like crazy. It wasn't that bad until the Wednesday after I started the pill. I don't think I've been on it long enough to notice changes in my acne or weight, but I didn't know if anyone else has had the same experience as I have had so far? I also haven't been sick or really felt that bad except for a little stomach aches."


"I have degenerated discs and my knees are degenerating. This med allowed me to work and have a normal life"


"It made me throw up and have a bad headache but all that went away a few hours after taking it."


"This was my first time trying birth control, and this one made me feel horrible. Nausea everyday and made worse whenever I drive. Cold sweats, and it's around 10 degrees out so I start shivering which leads to more sweating. Oh, the mood swings! I feel miserable."


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


"I have sat here and read all your reviews. I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago to be honest haven't done much. I do have 2 kids. Why am i here? For those of you who want to have a baby you should try seed rotation along with your metformin. Pcos is a hormonal imbalance which the seeds WILL regulate allowing you to conceive. I have not started Metformin not until Sat but i do take my seeds regularly and have seen a decrease in hair growth (lighter eventually stopped) as well as weigth loss. I am not curently sexually active but i did recommend it to someone who was having trouble concieve and within 4 months they were pregnant. I am attaching a link so you can read further. Thanks and good luck to everyone!! Stay hopeful

 "


"I've had the nexplanon implant for about a year now and I have mixed feelings about it. Yes, it worked great in the aspect of me not getting pregnant, however I did gain about 20 pounds since getting the implant.  It's also made it almost impossible for me to lose any weight, I've been exercising, eating healthy, etc. At first I would get a lot of headaches but they've died down now, and I've also been very "gaggy," any little smell, texture, or sight of something gross makes me gag a lot. The one thing that's been keeping me from having it removed is the fact that I only get my period about 3-4 times a year. I used to have very painful cramps and heavy bleeding but since getting the implant my periods have been a lot lighter."


"Works well and helps with hand pain from tendonitis."


"I only use this medication if I have a cold sore forming on my lip. Valtrex ( valacyclovir ) greatly reduces the healing time as it keeps the cold sore from getting larger if taken upon onset of "tingle" sensation. In the long run helps prevent scaring on my face."


"First month on this I had awful cramps, following I was very moody and I'm normally very positive. Constantly fatigued and stressed. Gained a lot of weight on my stomach and hips, which pissed me off a lot more since I'm working out regularly and eating how I normally do, pretty healthily. Breasts grew bigger. Constantly feel bloated and stomach Area feels sensitive, but at the same time always hungry. I've decided to stop taking it, and am going to search for another option. Simply not worth all the trouble."


"Aczone did not help my acne at all. It made my skin burn when I applied it, and also made my acne somewhat worse than before. It's side effects were extremely prominent and my skin was dry, red, and irritated. I don't think this is the right medication for me."


"I had a social phobia for a long time with a rapid out of control heart beat, its a big difference since I started taking this medicine, anxiety is a lot less, and more out going with the public and less fear, but the only side effect that I'm not comfortable with is delayed ejaculation."


"Very light benzodiazepine. Perfect if stressing out at work and Xanax makes you too tired to function. Quick acting and short-lasting."


"I have many incurable diseases that are very painful. One of those is called Fibromyalgia. When you have Fibromyalgia, you rarely-if ever go to Stage 4 sleep. Without Ambien, I can be awake for 2-3 days. In pain, exhausted, crying and not able to sleep.
I have been on all OTC medications for sleep. I have also tried Ambien CR (which for some reason doesn't work at all for me), Lunesta, Sonata, and chloral hydrate. (For those who don't know Chloral Hydrate is VERY strong). None of those worked. Ambien does!"


"I took this because I have to pee every hour on the hour. Unfortunately it didn't do anything, actually I think it made me want to pee more frequently. I only took 1 pill though, but didn't bother taking anymore."


"It worked the best."


"I have been on Enbrel for 15 years and it has been a life changer.  I was literally pain free.  Until about a year ago, shortly have the injection I started feeling nauseous, thought maybe it was something I ate but I have since tracked it and every single time to give myself an injection I get nauseated and it lasts for about 36 hours.  Has something in the formula of Enbrel changed??  I'll take being nauseated any day over the pain."


"I've had the Nexplanon in since December. I got my period a week after and I STILL have my period and it's almost May. I feel hungry all the time and it has made me break out and left red little scars on my face because the breakouts were so bad in the beginning. But they have calmed down now. I have gained a little weight also. Other than that it has saved me from getting pregnant a few times, but there are to many side effects."


"Took this for 10 days during a trip to S. America. No side effects. Realized as the rest of my group experienced episodes of stomach distress and I had none that this anti-parasite was probably helping there too. No complaints!"


"I sustained a severe concussion several months ago and could not sleep afterwards due to the injury to my brain.  It would take hours to fall asleep, only to wake up every 90 minutes and have another hour to fall back asleep.  Since the brain heals while you are sleeping, my concussion symptoms (stuttering, speech/language problems, memory loss, headaches, dizziness/vertigo) kept getting worse.   My Dr prescribed Belsomra, and gave me specific instructions: take it 1/2 hour before  bed, no screens for an hour before bed, no heavy meals after 7pm.  I started with 7.5 mg and then moved up to 10 mg a few weeks later.  My sleep is amazing, and I started to heal.  Had some funny dreams but didn't mind.  Down to 3x/wk. I am so grateful for this medicine!"


"I was told by my physician after tests that I had pneumonia. He gave me a shot of rocephin. The next morning I was almost back to normal, except for having a very sore butt. I feel much better."


"I didn't have the severe side effects that some people had with this medication, but I did have so many more papules than usual.  It didn't burn when I applied it and it did reduce redness.  I stuck with it for just over a week and then I couldn't stand how bumpy my face was so I stopped."


"My dad took it and he had heart palpitations, swelling, reddening ears and face, and chest tightening. He stopped taking it and switched back to his old medicines."


"Life changing medicine for panic disorder and anxiety.  Zero side effects save for slight insomnia on days 1-3 and a bit of muscle weirdness and stomach pain (similar to ibuprofen) in week 1.  Most days I am a normal person now.  Still supplement with clonazepam for trigger situations on occasion, but most of the time I can focus on life without panic distracting me."


"Works well, a couple side effect to be aware of is acne, weight gain, and nausea"


"I first used Tussionex in 1981. At that time it was called Tussionex Susp. and contained only 5mg hydrocodone per dose. They also had a tablet version available back then, which equaled one teaspoon of the suspension. The reason that it is so effective over other cough remedies, even other syrups which contain hydrocodone, is due to the type of hydrocodone used.
"


"I have many spine health issues and as a result, experience the joys of chronic back pain.  This medicine works well for moderate pain for me.  I did build up a tolerance for it pretty quickly, however, which is typical for any pain medicine.

Bad side effects I experienced were debilitating nausea and hot flashes when it was taken on an empty stomach.  Also, the all-over "itchies," when I first started taking the medicine.  Both of these can be prevented by eating with the medicine and taking an antihistamine with it."


"Solodyn helped get rid of my cystic acne, but I had very bad side effects. It caused me to be itchy all over to the point were I had welts from scratching so much. And most of the time I was itchy in very uncomfortable areas. It was itchy on my scalp, my back, hands, feet, and stomach. Every place on my body itched. After stopping it for three days I did not have an itch at all."


"I am a 66 year old woman and have been taking Melatonin since 1990's.  I started taking it for sleep  since I had to get up early. There was never any side effects. I started out with 3 mg. Then went up from there. I always knew my limited because to much was creating just the opposite  effects. I am now at 6 mg. and am doing fine.  As we get older the meletonin that our bodies create, diminishes.  Also, sleeping without a light or having a very faint night lite, is best. When getting up to go to the bathroom, do not turn on lights for lights depletes the meletonin in your body. I use a colored night light.  And may I suggest just turning off your computers and phones so they won't interrupt your sleep."


"Back pain
Lethargic
Pains in right leg
Short of breath
Sense of sadness
Diarohea"


"I've been on it for 7 years now and it is amazing. I had to go off of it for awhile when I was in the hospital and I got to see how it actually helps me. All of my fibromyalgia pains and everything else came back. I was in so much pain until I went back on it. Now presto it has take 99% of the pain away. I am now able to move around and not let it slow me down or keep me in bed all day. So very effective for me. I tried Lyrica and it made me gain weight and made me very suicidal so I went on this and its a wonder drug. Hope it helps you too."


"I've been suffering from prolonged, frequent, debilitating & painful migraines. Having to endure constant & intense pain affected my quality of life. I was given Proplanolol 40mg by my GP to try. Since then I never looked back. First, my migraines decreased in frequency (at first it felt strange not to be in pain - that's how used to I was to my migraines). Second, when migraine would start, Proplanolol would stop it from developing into an attack. So, for me, it works as a preventer and painkiller (since I started on Proplanolol, I haven't had any overthecounter painkillers). In terms of side effects, occasional diarrhea, which is a small price to pay for a sig reduction in the frequency and intensity of my migraines."


"I have an intolerance to wheat (not coeliac) and with so much wheat in the world this medication has made it so I can enjoy every kind of cuisine without fear of vomiting it back up within 20-30 minutes! It is a God-send - thanks."


"I Started 37.5mg on November 22, 2014 went to the doctor on December 23,2014 weighed in and I've lost a total of 20lbs with no exercise and keeping calories between 800-1200 most days some times I went over by eating out but most days it was within that range. Plus I've been drinking a lot of water. I will be starting my new bottle today December 28, 2014 and will be back to the doctor February 1, 2015. The only side effect I've experienced is dry mouth. Fingers crossed that this will continue to work the same way this month I will  exercise this month while taking it."


"Taken in combo with Ribavirin over a 24 week course, my second treatment since my failed Interferon/ribavirin (24wks) treatment 2 years prior. The Sovaldi treatment failed for me as well and I am beginning another treatment with Sovaldi and another combo that is not Ribavirin."


"I've been taking Yaz for two years for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), combined with a low dose of Prozac.  It has been a great combination for me.  I used to have extreme mood swings about a week before my period, even to the point of getting myself in trouble at work.  Now, I hardly feel my period coming on and it's smooth sailing all month."


"I have been taking Saxenda for a week (.6 dose) and I am not hungry. The 3rd day I felt a bit tired but, by day 5 that was gone. I do not have the cravings that I had before starting the medicine. My doctor gave me a 6 week sample along with a prescription + discount card. I can tell by how loose my clothes are that I have lost some inches. I am excited!"


"I'm 19, I've been on the patch for almost a year and a half, I've recommended it to quite a few of my friends. ITS THE BEST. The first three months are a bit crazy. Constant nausea, tender breasts, emotional but all these things are bearable and seem to fade away after your body gets used to the patch. Easier to remember to change it. It's so convenient."
