"Soma is by far the best muscle relaxer that is under the "muscle relaxer class". Even with extreme stiffness and spasms that have been left untreated for years, Soma is the only muscle relaxer that provides relief. Many doctors won't prescribe it because they say it can be abused, which is a joke. The FDA doesn't seem to like meds that actually work. It's 100X superior to flexeril, tiziadine, etc. Soma works different -- it's the only muscle relaxer that slows down the nerves instead of just causing central nervous system (CNS) depression. All other muscles relaxers only do CNS depression and their theory is by slowing down the body, the muscles will relax. Not always true. Soma does CNS depression AND it works on the nerves. Best there is."


"Very effective daily use 2 x 75mg per day. Hell if you forget one or two though. Now dependent on it!"


"I know products work differently for different people but sweating profusely was ruining my life. My self confidence was lower than low and I wore black constantly  because within half an hour I would have massive wet stains. I never thought it would even be any different. A friend recommended Drysol and honestly after 1 use- I was cured!! Seriously- I used it only once (at a music festival at that!) and since then I DO NOT sweat from the pits anymore! (Very little anyway) it changed my life (sounds dramatic but true!) I would recommend this product over and over again. If you have a sweating problem- please try it!!"


"Awful nausea and headaches that last all day! I'd rather have those side effects then suffer from MRSA but it has still been rough to deal with as I'm trying to go back to work."


"I have a hard time believing that there are so many people that are claiming diarrhea. I had no such experience. It also calmes my cough. I have IBS, which affects the bowels very easily. I have also known other people that have used Delsym and nobody has had this happen to them. It tastes better and really works. I have to say I suspect 1 or 2 people that had a bad experience have written multiple times too warn others. I hope people are going to more than one site to get reviews."


"I have been on Biaxin for 3 days now.  I have very loose bowel movements, horrible taste in my mouth, and I can't sleep. I have been eating tootsie roll pops to combat the bad taste in my mouth. I am going to stop Biaxin immediately and call my Doctor first thing in the morning. Up at 2:00 am now, wide awake with diarrhea and a tootsie roll pop!"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I started my Stribild therapy in March when my CD4 was 270 and my VL was 80000, and after 3 months I became undetectable!! Just few side effects like nausea but not to much!! I never use other therapy before Stribild and I can't compere it with other meds, so I'm really happy that I'm undetectable and my life is really grate!! Important is continue to do fitness, help your body and your mind!!"


"This was my first birth control pill and it was the worst experience in my life! It caused severe mood swings, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, and shakiness for a week. I am trying something new. For new users, I would NOT try this first!!!"


"I've had terrible migranes since I was 5 years old sometimes lasting 4 days and I'm 18 now, I've taken everything you can think of all of which had absolutely no effect on the migraine at all! I found excedrin at a dollar general and I only to half a dose and within 15 min my migrane was completley gone. It's like Magic. To bad it took me 11 years to find it!"


"I started using this for alcohol dependence. After a month, I asked for my dose to be increased, as I usually have to have a higher dose of anything that I take. After having the dose increased, I have been without cravings. I love naltrexone and have been sober for four months now. "


"I began taking this before I began any other medication. It made me more anxious and nervous. It also seemed to increase my OCD (the "pure O" form) by making me more prone to think about my OCD. It did help me to focus on occasions, but it also made me focus on my anxieties and obsessions as well. My therapist told me that stimulants like this one and Concerta are not good for people with anxiety disorders (almost all of them), unless they have anxiety because they cannot focus and accomplish necessary tasks. I recommend talking to a counselor or Psychologist/psychiatrist before being prescribed stimulants for ADHD."


"This is my review so far :) So I started tretinoin 0.025 13 weeks ago. At first my face broke out so bad and was peeling so much I couldn't even cover it with makeup. This happened around the first and second week. My acne then fluctuated from somewhat decent skin to having breakouts for then next 8 weeks. It was somewhat discouraging to see my face breakout worse from how I originally started, but thankfully, this past week and a half I've had consistently clear skin with only a few blackheads on my chin area. My skin is very soft now and I can go to school (senior in highschool) and feel comfortable wearing no makeup. I only have a few scars that are noticeably fading each day."


"As I am not sexually active, I cannot state upon the effectiveness of this as a birth control, however upon taking this my anxiety and depression flared to the point that therapist is suggesting medication for that. I have no experienced any odd weight gain, although my hunger signals are off (I do not get hungry, nor full anymore). My acne is the same as usual, with no more or less cystic acne.

I am choosing to switch birth control brands to see if it will change, but the emotional symptoms are just too much for me to handle."


"I had been on levothyroxine for about 6 years with no problems. I got a new doctor closer to my home & he switched me to this drug, On it just 2 weeks I got severe anxiety attacks (hyperventilating). He has given me samples so I do not know if this will be covered by my insurance yet.  I got a blood test & he said the levels were fine that I should see my internist for my anxiety.  NOT. I will go back on my regular meds for 2 weeks then try this again. I think it is this drug."


"I had two pretty worrying initial exacerbations in July 2011 and February 2012; since then I use Copaxone and I've had no relapses nor new lesions (I write this May 2016). Injections are of course a nuisance, but what can we do."


"Did not help me, and I gained weight."


"There should be a negative number rating for this product, since it literally made my issue far worse. I have rosacea and experience constant redness, sun-sensitivity, and long-lasting flushes. When initially applied, this product blanched my skin into a sort of blotchy-but-paler-than-usual state for about 12 hours....then all hell broke loose. I woke up in the night with the most intense rebound flushing imaginable. You could probably have used my face to smelt iron. I applied it once more, and then totally gave up. The discomfort was horrific, and to make matters worse, my poor skin was completely out of wack for about a week after; extra flushy, super sensitive, and generally awful. Seems like most people have a similar experience."


"Due to my history of migraine with aura,  my doctor suggested I went with a non estrogen birth control. I went back and forth about the copper IUD and the pill. I decided against the IUD because it isn't a painless process for those who haven't yet had children.
Ive been on Jolivette for a month now. The first few weeks were difficult. I had breakthrough bleeding  (bleeding between your periods) and quite terrible anxiety. If I had stopped taking it then I would have rated this med a 2 or 3. After about 2.5 weeks in... my anxiety subsided, the breakthrough bleeding stopped and everything balanced. I was even able to decrease the strength of my anxiety medicine. My PMDD and endometriosis have been easier to bare, and So far so good."


"I just started pack 3 of Sprintec last night and love it. I started taking this pill due to me already having 2 kids and I don't want any more any time soon. I haven't had any side effects but being nauseous on the first and I'm losing weight, sometimes I feel myself being a little nauseous at times but nothing major and periods are regular as normal. I would highly recommend this birth control."

"It worked just fine. Took one and 12 hours later had a BM. No side effects. No cramps."


"I haven't really noticed any energy, mood or body changes. I just now that when I see my lab results the stuff works. Also, I have women ask me quite often what cologne I am wearing. They say it smells sooooo good!"


"Have had too many side effects from Spiriva but Tudorza does not cause a problem and works better for me."


"My husband had prostate surgery (TURP) for an enlarged prostate in January (11 months ago). Ever since, he has had annoying leakage. The doctor mentioned two options - Botox or an implanted device. He said Botox had "99% success rate" so my husband opted for that. Ever since, a nightmare. At first, he simply could not pee at all. He had an indwelling catheter for a while, and since has had to do self-catheterization four times a day (still cannot pee a drop). The Botox must have relaxed the bladder too much? Plus there was a LOT of old blood in his bladder, presumably from the Botox injections. The doctor said it was not possible to be from the catheters. And he has a UTI. The slight leakage seems like NOTHING next to this nightmare."


"Helpful BUT it tastes TERRIBLE I absolutely hate the taste I would rather receive it through an injection than how I have to take it but my psychiatrist told me that it is okay to swallow it with a drink instead of the manufacturer directions also it is kind of like false advertising because it says that it tastes like black cherry but it does NOT at all when I was 5 I accidentally ate a small amount of poop and from what I remember it tastes almost exactly the same."


"It does wonders to my skin! I like to use it as a leave in foam overnight instead of the cleanser."


"I started Imuran after yet another dose of steroids and now I have got my confidence back I will only use the bathroom four times a day on a normal day but I am careful with my diet, no fiber."


"I began taking Amitiza twice a day in 2007 and like others in this room swore by Zelnorm.  My experience has been great, although it seems I need to stop taking it for a few days every 4 to 6 months to reboot, so to speak, as it begins to diminish effectiveness.  I'm curious if the extra long colon plays into our problems?  I deal with this as well."


"I have been using clindamycin every morning after cleansing my face almost religiously for almost 4 months and I have seen no improvement of my acne. I use Differin gel at night and still no help. All the other reviews say they saw results in days, but I still get many break outs. Also, I'm almost 18 and I just started about 6 months ago breaking out this bad. I had occasional pimples growing up but nothing bad then all of a sudden my face has gotten really bad. "


"I have been on Lexapro for years. Due to no sex drive I was placed on Viibryd. I had the worst adverse reaction.. after four weeks went from doing well on Lexapro TO violent, hearing things, paranoid. I stopped the medicine and went back to Lexapro. "


"Checking back in after 12 weeks on Qysmia 7.5mg and I've lost a total of 14lbs! Not bad (5'1- starting at 160lbs, now 146lbs.) This is with a very hectic travel schedule and hit or miss gym workouts. The biggest thing I notice is water intake! I'm rarely hungry but I've always got a dry mouth. If I drink plenty of water, I definitely see results on the scale. If I don't eat enough and especially don't drink enough, the weight loss slows down and the side effects are worse (for me it's hands and feet parasthesia, dry mouth, some racing thoughts). Overall, this is making a HUGE difference in my life, in how I feel, my joints, my energy, confidence, blood pressure, etc. For me, it's well worth the minor discomfort!"


"This medication worked wonders! I was a little skeptic about it from doing research but with anything you google search; if you dig around long enough you will eventually find something scary. I have had no diarrhea while on this medication as some of the complaints were mostly about diarrhea, nausea, headaches and cramps. Let me tell you, drink PLENTY of water!  Don't drink soda, tea, punch etc I mean straight up water! I also picked up Kefir, it's a cultured low fat milk smoothie. It will do wonders for your stomach! I also took Zantac 150mg 30 mins before taking the metro pill. Only side effect I have had was a tender tongue under my chin. PS; if ur urine is dark (common complaint by most) u need more water people! hope this helps you!"


"My boyfriend and I had sex during my mostly fertile period.
The condom broke and he came inside me. We freaked out and went to buy the pill plan b within 30 minutes after having sex.
I don't want to say that it works all the time but it worked for me. I took plan b and the next Sunday I had a "fake period" with brownie discharge. I guess that is was the pill working messing with my body. My period came one month late and I took two pregnancy test just to make sure that I was not pregnant.

Please girls I know it's hard, but don't stress yourself and keep calm, if you do it right plan b should work. Try not to freak out and be patient! Everything will be fine!"


"Ativan is a great medicine and glad my psychiatrist prescribed me 1 mg 2 times a day. Though I use that as well as Klonopin but Ativan gets me to sleep sometimes and Klonopin keeps me asleep. Overall I believe its a God send."


"I used Nuvaring for almost 3 years and I absolutely loved it.  I had no side effects, a lighter period and most importantly it works.  I only recently stopped using it because my insurance no longer covers it so the monthly cost is pricey. "


"I've had Mirena for almost ten months. I've had probably a more negative beginning with it than most. It was extremely painful for me, I was in pain for weeks after and then I got an infection. I had to take two prescriptions because I had vaginosis due to the Mirena insertion that didn't clear up right away.

Of course all of that sounds terrible, but most people do not experience that. Now I am completely fine and recommend Mirena to everyone I know.  My acne is stabilized, my periods are almost non-existent, and I'm not pregnant which is the main reason of the Mirena. I do not use condoms with my fiance and I've been completely protected against getting pregnant."


"I started using Belviq last December. From December to March I lost 30 lbs. I am still on it but it has no more effects. It wore off after 3 months. Although I am still losing slowly on my own."


"I wanted to give this medication a go, but was pretty scared at the same time. The reason for that, was because I had used Zoloft (another antidepressant medication in the same class) before with severe anxious mixed manic psychosis.
Me and my doctor agreed to be very careful and increase the dosage in small steps.
What happens? It brings me complete depression relief and improves all of my anxiety (social anxiety in particular).
In the beginning there was some sleep disturbances and initial anxiety, but it subsided quickly.
It began to work very fast for me, but maybe it took about 6 months before full effects had come into play. I've never had any episode since then, and no sign of over stimulation either. Great experience!"


"I've had the nexplanon birth control since July 1, 2014. Overall I love it. It was inserted quickly. I don't have to worry about taking a pill every morning and I can have sex whenever. I haven't had a period since I had it in. I have gained a little weight and my mood swings are all over the place but its nothing I can't control."


"This medication is TERRIBLE ! My mom started taking this medication about a month ago,  and Friday morning, May 22nd, 2015, she suffered from a horrific seizure.  She was sitting at her work desk and all of a sudden,  she started breathing really hard and fell over face first and hit her head on the carpeting,  which keep in mind is straight concrete underneath,  and started seizing.  As doctors rushed over to assist my mom and paramedics rushed in,  her life was slowly leaving her body.  Her lips turned blue,  and the oxygen was escaping. My mom regained oxgen on her own, however, she was rushed to the ER to only determine the cause was this medication. All I can say is I am lucky to have my mom here today because this could've killed her."


"Xanax worked wonders for my anxiety. Next thing I know, I only ate one meal every four days and lost 15 pounds in two weeks. Withdrawal is the worst. I vomited for seven weeks straight and at least twice a day. I've been clean for two months I still don't sleep until five/six in the morning. I have slight muscle tremors. Prescriptions must be monitored extremely carefully."


"This is my first BC.  For about the next 3-4 months, I had irregular periods with spotting here and there. This month, I totally skipped my period, as of right now I'm 17 days late. Took a test and it came back negative, so I can attest to the missed period thing - don't be too stressed when/if it happens (if you take your pills correctly)!
First couple months I cried a lot and had terribly sore boobs. They also grew from a 32B to a 32D though, so I'm not mad.
NO nausea at all.
A few migraines.
I'm not pregnant and we use withdrawal and never use condoms, so this pill is extremely effective and gives me that extra assurance for the lowest estrogen count. I'm a fan! 9/10 because of the scary missed period thing."


"I've been on Apri for 7 months. This is my first time ever using bc, so I don't have much to compare it to, but i'm incredibly happy with it. My skin was gradually getting worse and worse with each year, and I can't tell you the last time i've had more than 1 tiny blemish at a time. My skin is amazing! My doctor did warn me about the initial side effects, and they were pretty bad honestly (highly emotional, weight gain about 10 lbs), but after I gave it 3 months something clicked and I stopped being emotional and I have lost all the weight and even a bit more. I have found that I don't have much of a sex drive at all, but it's not worth it to me to switch just for that reason. If you're willing to go through the first few months, go for it!"


"I have suffered from migraines most of my life and tried many preventive meds that did not work.I had to get a new doctor and he started me on Elavil 50 mg at bedtime.Not only did it cut down on the frequency and severity of the headaches now I sleep like a baby and that has cut now 100% on morning migraines.It is a God send."


"Honestly I have never wrote a review on anything in my entire life. This changed my life. I am so outgoing and love being the center of attention. But when it comes to formal public speaking my body goes under flight mode. Please please please take this drug if you have performance anxiety. I can bet a million dollars it will help you. It won't change your thoughts but once you get up there and start speaking you will feel so calm and confident. God bless you and Inderall!"


"I have been on this pill for about 6 months, after getting past the first few months I am very pleased. I no longer have any sort of spotting, the cramps still come every now and then, but my period is always right on time. I see no drastic negative changes."


"Bactrim was killing my stomach no matter how much food and water I took with it. I was in constant stomach pain. Had to change it the second day."


"I started taking mirtazapine after becoming suicidal on citalopram. All I do is eat, sleep, and get angry over nothing. My weight has ballooned, I can't do normal day things like talk to friends or anything without screaming or becoming aggressive. I wouldn't advise taking this."


"Works great!  Been suffering with anxiety for a while now was very hesitant on taking any kind of medication was given this medication in the hospital and within 20 minutes I felt relaxed and calm wish I wasn't so hesitant and took it sooner.  Great for when anxiety attack comes on"


"Works just fine for me."


"I've been using this for quite awhile for my very painful osteoarthritis in my knuckles. It still amazes me how well it works. I get horrible burning pain and this works within minutes. Great med!"


"My dose was increased to 500mg. I started out great on the 250mg. I think the 500 is too much for me. I gained 13lbs again, irritable a lot, etc."


"I've had Tinea Versicolor come and go for a few years now and it has been a pain. I did my research and saw many success stories from using Selsun Blue with 1% selinium sulfide in it. I've only been using for a day leaving it on over night and I have seen amazing results it's almost gone! It is also getting rid of my white spots. The only con is that it may burn/itch and can be messy. Other than that it is a huge success!"


"I've had nexplana for 7 months now, it's been working great. The only complain would be the bleeding. My period comes crazy and can last a whole month. I know other girls who have had it for a year and told me that their bleeding stopped completely. They said to wait it out and the bleeding will stop. So I'm hoping for the best. I took birth control pills to stop the break through bleeding and that worked."


"I have two fractured vertebrae from a car wreck. At first my Dr. prescribed me Percocet 5/325 it worked but for me the side effects (nausea, itching and sleeplessness) were awful. He then switched me to Lortab 7.5/500 and wow! Not only is the pain killing effectiveness just as strong (if not stronger) than the Percocet but I have experienced NOT ONE negative side effect."


"I just started with this medication. I took one 75 mg pill in the late evening before going to sleep. When I took it I said to myself yea right this little tiny pill will somehow give my life back to me...the next morning when I awoke to my surprise, I felt like I did years ago. I could walk and stand without the aching and hurting. I was not as tired nor as sore in my muscles. What a wonderful little miracle this little pill is!!!"


"Third day and it doesn't even touch the pain at night.  Never had gout ever before,  broke tibia and ankle, had surgery with 3 plates and 18 screws in my leg Nov 18.  Got my splint put on three weeks ago and the soft cotton padding couldn't touch my touch or it burned terribly.  Ortho didn't catch it and three weeks later fed up with poppin meds and getting worse, I saw my regular dr.  He instantly said, gout.  Took blood test, proscribed me this stuff at 50mg three times a day.  After the first two the first day, the following day it slowed nicely and I was able to go out for a few hours.  I am in a wheel chair at this point with the legs still messed up.  Got home and the pain was insane!  That was yesterday.  Today is tough, what do I do"


"Lowered blood pressure (pre-hypertensive) improved erection, ejaculation, no urinary urgency, went from urinating every 2 hours to 5-7 hours, can sleep at night without getting up first time in 2 years. No noticeable side effects (I am a retired registered nurse)."


"I have been on Ampyra for 4 days and I can't remember the last time I felt this good. Left leg is working better, can stand for longer periods of time, and I think that is just the beginning. Like others, I am going to start retraining my body to get back to normal as much as I can. Going back to Mayo tomorrow to have strength retested for before and after. I am part of a study going on. Drug company is contributing to keep my copay to a minimum."


"I am on the second week of taking Contrave. I am a college basketball player and have put on much weight this year and seemed to not be able to lose any. The first week using this medicine I lost 10 pounds with exercise and eating healthy. I have not had much side effect so far. I hope this medicine can work for you."


"VIN 111 - Had debilitating side effects first two weeks, bone aches, fever. But once my body adjusted it was just irritable at the site itch/burn. I used cool dry hairdryer and def seemed to help after application. Hopefully this works to avoid surgery."


"I also suffer from anxiety and I take 50mg in the morning and 50mg at night. It works fairly well but maybe I need a stronger dosage. Zoloft has decreased both the depression and anxiety."


"Used this on great grandson. He gets diaper rash easily, this protects him from getting it and heals and soothes if he gets diaper rash when we don't use this to protect."


"I have always been back and forth with my weight loss I've tried it all you name it. I'm 20yrs old and at this point I figured if you've tried everything and anything people put in front of you then why not this? I started approximately Aug,16,2017 at 286lbs today Oct,2017 I weight 254lbs. 32lbs down and I can't express how happy I am. Of course I add on a bit of exercise but other days that I just want to be lazy I binge watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S for about three days straight and I'm still left amazed with loosing at least 4lbs a week."


"(continued) So I went to my Dr. asked to try the medication. I have to say, just because it works for someone you know doesnt mean it is gonna work for you. You lose wt or you lose money, either way, stay positive for your self and for those that had good experience.  I am on my 3 day. scared at 1st, cause I am taking other med for anxiety, depression and concentration. I have not had an issue with any side effects. I do make sure I drink water. I have to force myself to eat. training myself to put snacks in front of me. So, definitely curbs the appetite.  coming from a woman who is not afraid to eat. I had a problem eating. I would eat till I was miserable and bloated. so far not even close. hope to see good results. working out 40min/day"


"A month ago I started having really bad anxiety, to the point I would lie in bed all day feeling suicidal. I couldn't eat (I lost 1 stone in 2 weeks), I couldn't sleep without having a panic attack that woke me up every hour and I was terrified this was going to be my life from now on. I was signed off work sick but had bills to pay, which added to the stress and anxiety I had. I had thoughts of ending my own life because I felt that hopeless and down and was worried I would never snap out of it. The worse symptom was the derealization. After 3 awful weeks of adjusting to 20mg citalopram, I'm feeling SO much better already. Please stick with this medication, I feel like I've got my life back.."


"So I've had a YI once before and it was the worst thing of my life. Now I'm 26 and I was taking doxycycline (antibiotic) that was prescribed to me by my dermatologist. I noticed a few days ago that I was burning and itching. Over the past 2 days it's been getting worse  and worse, almost unbearable and today I noticed the discharge and knew exactly what it was. I use Noble Formula 2% Pyrithione Zinc (ZnP) Argan Oil Bar Soap (amazon purchase) on my face to treat cystic acne. I remembered that this soap is an anti fungal treatment. So I took a shower and used this to wash, there was a sting but soon went away. When I got out I inserted the M7, warm but not bad. I would highly recommend using the soap for a wash, I truly believe it helped!"


"This is the ONLY thing that works when I have a bad flare up of my hemorrhoids. When I first began to use it about 10 years ago, my insurance covered it with a minimal co-pay. Then a couple of years ago, the co-pay went up to $80! Now, my new insurance does not cover at all, and the retail price is $150. I have tried EVERYTHING and have minimal relief - this is the ONLY thing which works effectively for me. I am very disappointed that it remains so expensive as I am now a senior citizen and can no longer afford it when I need it the most!!"


"52 currently, Fibromyalgia began about 16 yrs ago.. Last few years have been really tough, and in discussing at deer camp with friends, one of them mentioned Mucinex. Read up, bought the 600 and raised it to 1200's the next week. My pain is at least reduced by 50%! I'm hearing other supplements in conjunction could help even more but for the moment I'm very pleased to have been told about Mucinex!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Suprep Bowel Prep doesn't taste as horrible as the GoLightly did; but that's not saying there's much of an improvement.
It certainly works quickly; approximately 20 minutes. Then it works frequently."


"I started on the lowest dose about a year ago, I was use to taking my meds at night. Seeing I take 2 different meds for neuropathy, its just easier to remember to take all meds before bed. Well Effexor literally had me up for 2 days straight, so I contacted my doctor who said to start taking it in the morning. I am now on 225mg every morning, and am doing better. I do take it for depression, & anxiety which I have fought with since I was a teen. Effexor is the only one that has truly help, and I haven't giving up on."


"I had to quit smoking, and was deep in the throes of everything mental. Called my doctor, and he prescribed Celexa...one-half pill (20 mg). I was furious! Half a pill? They either didn't have any idea what I was dealing with, or didn't care.  I griped, but I started that night, with my little `1/2 pill. The next day I didn't even think about a cigarette until I realized I hadn't thought about them!

I love Celexa."


"I get very hot with this medicine otherwise it works very well. I had my menstrual cycle for 4 months. I had a biopsy and I was diagnosed with precancerous cells on my uterus. Plus, I'm not ovulating so I needed to take this to get rid of my precancerous cells."


"I had sex for 4 days straight! "


"Tapered off generic citalopram 40mg after 12 years just didn't work anymore then tried Effexor after reading great reviews.  I took 75mg a day and into the 3rd week I had severe pounding migraines pressure behind my eyes nausea dizziness/brain zaps that were constant crying fits insomnia but vivid active dreams when I did sleep,  body chills,  leg twitches and severe terrible neck soreness. All these symptoms were happening at the same time and few times had hard pounding fast heart beats that I almost called 911. I think it may have been moderate serotonin toxicity. If you start this med start at the lowest possible dose.  It shocks your body.  Doc wants me to try Prozac but will talk to my psychiatrist first.
Bad withdrawal symptoms too"


"Yo it clearly says in the instructions that BURNING & ITCHING WILL INCREASE AFTER THE USE OF PRODUCT. My guess it's because the medicine is working and killing the bacteria so DONT BE ALARMED, specially if the doc tells u to get it. It's normal and just part of it. I know it sucks but you just gotta be strong baby girl and whatever you do DONT PANIC, FREAK OUT, OR BE DRAMATIC it's just makes things WORST. Remain calm and bare through it. The most intense pain is within the first 5-10 min of application, but the burning and itching tremendously went down after a deep breath and quick meditation break which helped my spirit get stronger, increased my pain tolerance and confidence therefore calming my nerves and silencing the pain. "


"I was in hospital for Severe Ulcerative Colitis. I was so bad I was going 20 to 40 times a day. Right now I have no insurance, but can afford Lomotil, and it has me slowed down to 3 to 7 times a day which I love and can more than live with. It does say it can blur your vision but so can diabetes, and I take so much predisone it makes my sugar stay high all day too. "


"I have been on this pill for over a year and have not experienced any problems with it.  I have not gotten pregnant, have not gained any weight, I do not break out, and my periods are even shorter and lighter! This pill helps with cramping and I do not experience any mood swings.  I would definitely recommend Tri-Sprintec."


"I am taking Synthroid 0.05 mg (50mcg). Helps me a lot. Very effective in my case."


"I've spent the last four months in a major depression and I only just realized that, exactly four months ago, I started the minipill. Clinical studies have shown that this pill is likely to cause depression, and boy, does it ever. My periods were irregular, but I didn't care. I lost my appetite, but I didn't care. I'm stopping now and can't wait to be rid of it. I've wasted too much of this year in numbness and tears."


"Everyone's different but I've found that for me that Cymbalta has worked wonders."


"I'm 5'2 starting weight of 242lbs I've been on phetermine for 3 days my current weight is 234lbs. Not bad for the firsts 3 days. At first-generation medication made me dizzy but only the first day. I feel emotional I also have slot of energy which is good cause I feel great instead of sluggish . Hope u all have a good journey ."


"I've been on this pill for about 2 and a half years now. I started taking it when I was 16 and I'm now 19. It's been my first and only birth control and I was put on it because I had insanely irregular periods. My periods were always super heavy and lasted around 7 days. This made me completely regular, gave me way lighter periods that last at most 5 days, lowered my mood swings and reduced my cramps. I've never once experienced any nausea or negative side effects from taking the pill. Everyone's gotta find the right pill for them and this is definitely mine."


"I've been On it for about almost two months. My period was 7 days and it was very light and I didn't have bad cramps. Bad part is, my period was gone bout a week and I started bleeding again and I'm still bleeding over a week now !!! No sex life!!!"


"I am a chronic pain patient and have tried dozens of medications for my pain. Opana works wonders through an IV when I'm in excruciating pain, but the oral pills just don't help as much. My pain doctor switched me from Oxycodone 4 times a day to Opana 3 times a day and it didn't touch my pain. I did some research and it only absorbs 10% orally. It's good as an IV or injection medication but not as much as an oral pill"


"I am thankful this drug didn't kill me!  After taking this drug for 8 days the side effects started and went from bad to worse...blisters on hands, and hands and feet as well as every fold in my skin turned black and I had severe diahrea, that ended up putting me in the hospital for 6 days.  The medicine reacted to my colon and it was wide open, couldn't hold anything down, lost 17 pounds is 7 days, although the weight loss was welcomed, I wouldn't suggest going about it this way.  I stuck it out for the full 14 day regime and my doctor believes that with taking the drug for the first cycle hopefully it shrunk some of the tumors which are in my jaw, spine, collar bone and left femur.  New treatmen coming after I recover from Xeloda!"


"Overall I liked this pill. You get 24 days of full hormones, 2 days of less hormones and 2 iron pills. The packaging for this birth control is the best I've seen. No confusing circles. Each week is a straight line and the pills are easy to pop out of the package. The days of the week stickers are easy to apply and clear.

I was on this pill for 2 months. I had break through bleeding the first month, which is pretty typical when trying a new pill. I unfortunately had issues with severe acne before taking this pill and it made it a lot worse for me. It went from just being on my face to all over my body by the 5th week.

Other than the acne the only other thing I noticed was breast tenderness. I had no issues with this pill beyond that."


"I have been on this for a while now. I ran out, had to refill my script. I started taking it again, tonight. Within an hour, my thoughts were not heavy, the racing anger was lessened. I feel like a New Person. Thank whoever thought of this medicine. I'm like most though, the side effects, could be a lot easier on the body. Good luck out there."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / isometheptene mucate

"Prodrin has been a Godsend for me for several years. I suffer from daily migraines and cannot take imitrex everyday. Prodin (the generic version) works extremely well on the days that I cannot take imitrex.
Now, because the FDA no longer approves Prodrin or its generic form, my insurance will no longer pay for the prescription. I usually get 120 tablets at a time and my co-pay was only $15. Now, thanks to the FDA regulations and my insurance refusing to pay, 120 tables will cost me over $500.  I can no longer can afford this life saving medication. Even if I get a smaller amount of pills, a scant 30 tablets costs $175.00. Thanks to the regulations imposed by the "affordable care act" I am suffering with daily migraines with no relief."


"I was diagnosed with RA in 1987 after giving birth. Since then I have tried almost every drug available and my RA continues to ravage my joints. Actemra is working pretty well but I have had to go off of it for a time because my white blood count dropped too low. I've been back on it for almost a year, I had to reduce my methotrexate in order to keep the WBC up and take 3mg of folic acid daily and 1mg of prednisone with frequent use of meloxicam. I am on Medicare. I can not get assistance for the drug that worked well, Simponi. J&J did not offer assistance and I could not afford the high copay. The best thing about Actemra is the compassionate patient assistance team. They are always caring and helpful when I call them."


"Apparently helps my a-fib, but causes bad bruising and bleeding from minor wounds.  I also have bad heart burn and take antacid frequently. This happens while I'm eating, after, and also when my stomach is empty. A friend who tried Xarelto had the same problem, which makes me think it's from the medicine, or at least it made it worse. This causes me lots of pain and discomfort, but I don't know if another blood thinner would be the same."


"I have been taking Gabapentin the generic for Neurontin for about three years.  I am having really dramatically disturbing dreams about all of my dead relatives.  This is really disturbing me.  I have had all tests possible on my neck and back.  I have had one surgery on my neck and am waiting on another surgery on it.  They keep giving me injections I am sure just to pass time.  The injections have done nothing for me.  Neither did the RFS (Radio Frequency Stimulation) for carterizing the nerve endings.  They now have me on Skelaxin as well but there is no difference.  This has been going on for six years after an accident at work. "


"Not a zombie, but no sexual climaxes anymore."


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


"I used this for spinal stenosis and it never really worked for me. I took the 5/500 and then I tried 10/325 and neither did anything."


"Gabapentin has saved my life.  I am able to function now.  Dealing with  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia for the past 20 years has been a challenge, not to mention the pain. I felt like I was a guinea pig, trying all the medicines out there and being allergic to most of them while the others didn't come close to working.  But with the gabapentin, I was so tired but after a while that went away. I wanted to up the dosage but my doctor did it very slowly.  Even though I am not 100% pain free at this time, I can function and be happy.  I will always have this medicine with me so I will never miss a dose."


"Well I’m on Nexapalon currently and it has been a long road.  I've been on it for almost 3 years now. I’m surely thinking about getting off due to constant pain & constant weight gain. I don’t feel like myself & ever since I got on it my whole mood & everything has changed . I LOVE not having a menstrual cycle but the pain is just UNBEARABLE"


"I've had my implant in for 7 months. Despite being anxious about weight gain, I was able to meet my weight loss goal of 10 lbs. Acne was a problem for the first few months but eventually cleared itself up. The main problem has been breakthrough bleeding, which went on for 4 months. My doctor finally prescribed the pill (Yaz) to help. I've gone through two months of the pill with my implant in and weened myself off of it until the bleeding was gone. Admittedly it wasn't fun at times, especially for the first few months, but sticking with it for awhile will be worth not having to worry about pregnancy and possibly not having another period for awhile, or at least being regular."


"I am starting my 3rd week on Prozac, 20 mg daily.  I feel like a new person and am so grateful.  I agonized over this choice for weeks, but after 6 months of unbearable anxiety and sadness, then skyrocketing blood pressure, I knew I had to do something. I visited my GP - we did the physical, blood tests, etc. to rule out other factors.  It turns out empty nest   beginning menopause have done a number on me.  The medicine made me feel nauseous, sleepy, like being on cold medicine.  On the 10th day, my appetite returned! I don't notice side effects at all anymore.  The sadness - 97% gone.  The anxiety - 75% gone.  I also start visits with a therapist in 2 weeks.  Again, I'm grateful to get my life back."


"I just had my third device inserted today after having a baby recently. The first was inexplicably expelled a few years after placement, the second was noted to not have proper placement on an ultrasound, unrelated to the device, so it was removed. While I've had the device I have not had a noticeable change in my periods, weight or mood. I am pleased with the IUD despite my previous experiences, although I do not feel like they were negative because they did not cause me harm or pain. I am very pleased with the IUD. It provides me protection and I do not have to worry about taking a pill every day, missing a pill or taking something with hormones."


"During my treatment of depression and RA--it seemed all the medicines stopped working at the same time.  I was taking Cymbalta.  I tapered off of it and tried Pristiq which worked horribly.  I stopped taking them all and researched natural remedies for depression--came across lithium orotate and SAMe.  I have been taking both for a couple of months now--seems to keep me level and out of the depressed state that I was in, so for now it seems to be working."


"Never been a day without it. I trust my life on it!"


"This medicine returned me to beautiful happy normality after years of antidepressants which made me worse in all regards. It only worked properly when I ditched the antidepressants."


"I saw results with this product within three days! I had really bad acne on my chin and forehead and it is already almost cleared up and its only been about a month. I didnt get any redness, however after I apply it at night it burns a little bit. Nothing too extreme. It also makes my skin on my chin flakey, but not on my forehead. I would not recommend stopping use of this product if you just have a mild burning sensation afterwards, because it really does work. I am so happy that I found this cream and a little really does go a long way. I only use a pea sized amount on my entire face and the tube it comes in lasts a little over a month."


"I had developed occipital neuralgia as a result of Tourette's syndrome.  The pain in my neck was very severe so I went to a pain management clinic where I was treated with methadone, Lyrica (caused serious side reactions), injections of steroids and some other medications, and finally by radiofrequency ablation.  All this took three years and I was out of options.  I read that Cymbalta was good for neuropathic pain so I got a prescription and started taking it.  After about 6-7 weeks, I was pain free.  I found it hard to believe.  I later switched to Wellbutrin and remained pain free."


"Cannot tolerate! Attempt to cost save, due to regular brand name which my Workers Compensation is now denying! Thus, my MD, in the interim prescribed a Genaric. I've tried in the past to utilize a Genaric form, yet, couldn't tolerate. Have taken odanestron, anti nausea medication prior to dosage, with food. Immediately, onset of extreme nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, no pain relief whatsoever. Feel drained not productive whatsoever. Can't sleep, insomnia now, although I'm extremely exhausted. Thus.......these Genaric versions continue to do more harm and continue to give any relief. Back to feeling unable to function without my name brand manufacture of my original order! This only makes my health worse! Why?"


"I have been subscribed Nucynta 100 mg for a torn herniated disc (L4). My doctor has me taking 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed. I was previously on Lorcet Plus which made me feel sick to my stomach at times. Nucynta has provided way more pain relief than Lorcet or Lortab. Nucynta works very, very well. Only downfall is there is no generic. Extremely expensive."


"I had Skyla out in 2 months ago. The insertion was a bit painful, but it was over quickly. I had some moderate cramping for a couple of days and slight spotting. At my 1 week mark, I was having heavy cramping and some sharp pain. I checked and my doctor checked for my strings but they couldn't be found. I ended up going to the ER having an ultrasound and a CT scan to see if the Skyla was still in my uterus or has moved elsewhere into my abdomen. The nurse started an IV on me right away. She said it's in case they need to take me to the OR. They hadnt even done the scans yet, but the doctor told me they've had many women come in with IUDs that travel outside the uterus and into the abdominal cavity and it require surgery right away."


"I have been on this medication for a week, after switching from Zoloft.  My doctor started me on 20mg.  I made the mistake of immediately going online to read reviews.  Instead, my advice is to let the medication start to take effect.  You will make yourself feel worse if you read the negative reviews.  I can say that one week on this medication has turned out better than my previous medication.  Everyone is different, so I think I found the one that works. Initially, you may have some insomnia, but it will pass once you start to feel more relaxed.  I did have some tingly feelings in the hands, but that passed after day 4.  I felt a head rush of sorts the first 5-6 days, where I felt high, but it too passed for me."


"I'm definitely sensitive to BP medicine. I am 40 years old, 6'3" and physically fit. I workout almost everyday (run, cycle, lift weights). Unfortunately, I have Isolated Systolic Hypertension (the systolic runs high but the diastolic is normal). My BP varies from 140/75 to 165/80. I have tried just about every medication for BP on the market, with either no success or with side effects I could not tolerate. With Bystolic is has failed, even at doses of 20mg to get my systolic BP controlled. The real problem for me is that is has 100% eliminated ANY sexual desire. I'm not talking about erectile dysfunction, I mean it makes me not even care about it. It also has the sticky throat feel where you need to clear it constantly. Back to square one."


"I started taking Gianvi about a month ago and have nothing good to say about it. I read the reviews and thought I would be fine but I have never cried so much in my life. Things that never bother me break me down to tears and its starting to make me crazy since I was never an emotional person. It's putting stress on me and my boyfriends relationship because we fight on a daily basis now when before nothing was an issue to slight arguments. I feel depressed and it takes everything out of me to get out of bed in the morning. I'm never happy but haven't gained weight and haven't gotten pregnant but that's the only positive thing. "


"I got my ParaGard IUD 6 months ago and I love it!. Yes there is still occasionally spotting and my period is a little heavier than it used to be, but I won't have to worry about pregnancy for the next 10-12 years. If I want to become pregnant during that time it is only a matter of a doctors appointment and a little tug then BOOM pregnancy is possible.

The insertion did hurt a lot. Like severe cramping for a few seconds and then a bit more cramping for the next day or so. After that I have lighter cramps for a few weeks, but it was completely worth it to not have to worry about hormones (which my body hates) or unexpected pregnancy. The only reason this review is a 9/10 is because my period is heavier and cramping is a more than before."


"I've been looking for a decent birth control for years now -- and, honestly, I still am.  I've tried the pill, injections, the ring, and even tried 3 times to implant an IUD.  My top two worst experiences were with the IUD and the patch.  I've been on the patch for two months now...and the symptoms are horrible.  My hands, feet, and breasts have been swollen the whole time, and incredibly painful.  I've had both diarrhea and constipation, and non-stop bloating.  I took a whole week off work because of a migraine.  Usually I'm very level tempered, but since I started the patch I'm pissed off at everything.  I haven't been able to eat anything in days.  Not to mention, it keeps falling off after a few days."


"Started 6/21/17. I'm down 20 lbs! The nutritionist told me to keep my calories under 1200 a day. I am exercising 5 days a week, at least 30 mins a day."


"I was being treated for pneumonia. Levaquin seems too be knocking down the pneumonia down after two rounds of another antibiotic seemed ineffective. I m now 8 days out from my last dose and feel awful.  The joint pain is horrific.  I used to exercise, don't know if I will ever be able again. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG.  If your insurance allows opt for hospital care."


"I just started taking Soma, and now get an uninterrupted good night's sleep. I also notice that I have fewer muscle spasms in my legs."


"I have had clear skin up until my current age of 41. I have been exposed to dermatitis at a phenomenal rate. Everything from cystic acne to dark marks on my face. I've tried everything to stop this active bacteria. The one thing that seems to help is the 10% benzyl peroxide bar which doesn't dry my skin and the doxycycline 100 mg 2x day, Differin .05 in a.m and Clindomycin 1% at night. My cheeks just seem to be invaded and its so very hard not to aggravate the eruptions. 1 week and I am noticing no new areas on face. Its just the abrasions underneath my skin are slow to heal. I'm looking forward to less stress more water and more exercise to help the healing process."


"I have had the Implanon for the last two years, I'm supposed to get it out August of 2015. I did NOT gain weight, actually it helped me lose it. Ever since I got it inserted in my arm I have not had a period, so no period for the last two years. Recently my friend was kind of pushy and grabbed my arm too tight and it knocked my Implanon out of place so now I am starting my second period in the last three weeks. This is an amazing birth control but be careful when it comes to people grabbing on your arm."


"Will never take it again worst experience in my life. Took it twice the first time rashes all over my back spend a lot of money going to the dermatologist. Second time  severe pain in the body specially in both legs still going to Dr  to try to solve the problems. On top of that lots of headache. Can't sleep at night with pain in my legs. No one should have to go through that much suffering to treat an illness. FDA should stop this drug on the market. Not recommended for anyone."


"I got Implanon a little over a month ago. I was spotting when I had it put in and it actually stopped a day after having it inserted. I haven't bled at ALL since even though I am past due for my period. I had pre-existing acne and so far it's actually cleared up my face! This surprised me since I thought it might make it worse, but I guess it can actually improve acne in girls who had it prior to insertion. I no longer get cramps as I used to get all the time. I have endometriosis and my doctor recommended this birth control to keep it from reoccurring. Its done wonders for my pain! The only bad thing I could mention is I have been irritable since having it in... but its worry free and great as contraception. I would recommend it!"


"I have tried almost every medicine you can think of for bipolar 2 with horrible side effects.  Seroquel, Lamictal, Depakote, Lithium, Abilify, Trileptal, Topamax just about everything like I said and either had hives, rash or just could not tolerate them.  My new doctor gave me Saphris and within three days I felt better than I had in 15 months.  After three weeks at 10mgs a day once a day I almost feel like my old self again.  This is a miracle as far as I am concerned the only side effect that I have is feeling weak slightly winded when I walk or exercise. Don't know if anyone else feels this or not.  It does bother me because I can't keep up walking or in Pilates class like I used to."


"Helped very much with migraine but had hangover like feeling after"


"I started this BC at 17 and just went off of it a few months ago at age 19 to one that would help my skin.  BIG MISTAKE.  I did not realize how great Lo Loestrine fe was until I was on a new one.  I experienced virtually no side effects - other than not getting a period whatsoever, even the first pack, which I loved.  Other than that I felt absolutely no different, and while I'm sad it didn't help my skin at all, I'm starting to think that moderate acne is pretty small in comparison to all the negative side effects I have on my new pill. I think I will be switching back to LoLo"


"My experience with this drug has been generally positive. It does tone down my hypomania, and is amazing at helping me sleep (it used to take me up to 3.5 hours lying in the dark to fall asleep...now it's closer to between 1-2 hours). However, it does give some weird side effects. It gives me intensely vivid dreams. I normally dream very little, but this gives me very strange dreams every night that I can very clearly remember on waking up. These dreams even frequently (3/4 times a week) cause me to wake up in the middle of the night! Would not recommend if you already have frequent nightmares or night terrors, as seroquel may make those much worse. Ineffective for depression."


"I find that it is effective in controlling my migraines, however, the stomach upset from this medication is sometimes worse than the headache."


"This medicine did nothing to help with my depression - but in all fairness - in the 17 years I've been trying to get the depression treated - nothing has helped."


"I was diagnosed in May with Diabetes in 2014.  Went on Metformin, was doing ok, but due to sleep apnea my fasting levels would be in the 280's.  Went to an endocrinologist in September, added Invokana.  My fasting readings are now in the 120's, my A1C went from 9.7 to 7.1, my energy shot up and now, 5 months in, I am down 14 pounds.  Feel so good I joined a gym this month for the first time in years.  I have amazing insurance so Invokana costs me nothing, and if you have type 2 at least try it.  I have never been so happy with a medicine."


"bad side effects"

"I've been using this pill for about 3 years now and I love it. I get my period on time every time for only 3-4 days, no cramps, no mood changes or weight gain. I highly recommend it."


"My mom was given this medicine by her 'pain doctor' for chronic pain in her ankle, hip and knees.  She said it didn't do anything for her.  I suffer from stiff shoulders and neck pain, caused by sitting at a computer all day, carrying a heavy laptop and purse.  I used it on my neck and shoulders since it was an anti-inflammatory.  It worked for me, I noticed a significant 'loosening' of my 'tight' shoulder muscles with just one application. I'm sold!  I'm gonna get mom to give it another go!"


"I would like to first say that I have had a problem with reoccurring yeast infections since being a preteen. I normally go to the doc and they give me a pill and yeast comes out a lot then infection is cured. This time I didn't want to go to doctor so I bought Monistat 3. It was hard to insert Once inside there was no pain at all however the cream that you place outside of your vagina does burn for like 5 min, but it’s not that bad! This products works for me, a little discomfort followed by comfort and relief!"


"Used to take 2 mgs three times per day with my old doctor, stopped for a year,  and now I'm on 0.5mg three times a day. I built up a tolerance quickly, but when I have a panic attack 4 mgs stops it dead. I love Klonopin, it lasts longer than Xanax and doesn't give me a crazy hangover feeling the next day!"


"Well I was on epiduo for about five months and at first (like most acne medications) caused redness and peeling, but then it cleared up most of my acne. But then it seemed my body became used to it and it no longer did anything."


"I have been on Atenolol 25 mg for over 10 years along with furosemide and Losartan, also metformin, ferrous sulphate, levothyroxine , pravastatin, and absorbic acid. I have pains in my feet and sometimes I cannot sleep, it is hard to say which tablets cause side effects when your on so many. All I can say is my blood pressure is fine now."


"Before I got nexplanon I looked up reviews. Which was a horrible idea. I read tons and tons of bad things about it. Eventually I built up the courage to finally get it. These are my "pros" and "cons". Pros: I didn't have to worry about taking a pill or changing a patch/ ring/ diaphram. I only had 2 periods! And I didn't get pregnant on it! Cons: gave me headaches. Hot flashes and I felt super nauseous when I would get hungry. And I gained 50 pounds! Today was 9 months of me being on it. I got it removed this morning. Now I'm going to try Mirena. Not every form of birth control is right for everyone!"


"My doctor prescribed ULTRAM ER 200 for lower back pain and sciatica.  I was taking 1 tablet twice a day.  For 2 or 3 days it seemed to work great.  Then I started having side effects.  I had mild dizziness and a slight upset stomach.  I took Ultram ER for a total of 9 days.  The dizziness became severe, I was lethargic but not able to sleep for more than 2 or 3 hours a night, and the nausea had increased.  I stopped taking ultram ER and it took 12 days for the side effects to subside.  The doctor said I had an allergic reaction to this medication."


"I've been on the Depo shot for years and decided to change to the Skyla. Since I haven't had a period in a few years the dr decided to go ahead and put the Skyla in. It was extremely painful guess due to the fact that I wasn't on my period when your cervix opens slightly. The dr had to give me an injection inside down there to open my cervix slightly but it was extremely painful. I recommend that if your on Depo and want Skyla, wait till you have your period."


"Geodon has made me able to show and feel emotion again and it takes care of all of my psychotic symptoms. I'm a big fan of this drug."


"Vesicare was working but the side effect (dry mouth) was severe. I have to stop taking it."


"Very bad, Was given for pain by doctor .Dr told me make sleepy does opposite.  Gave me anger and made me depressed. Kinda mad at Dr. My be it's a side affects lol"


"Dexedrine is a SUPERB medication for controlling ADHD Impulsivity. It's a 100% smooth and clean ride compared to Adderall. Unfortunately for me though I lack motivation so Adderall is a better choice for me. I did rate this out of Symptom control. If Dexedrine motivated like Adderall does it would literally be the perfect medication.

Pros:
Superior Focus
Reduced Impulsive decisions the best.
Side effects are minimal compared to Adderall

Cons:
Lacks motivational Kick that Adderall delivers.
Only comes in 5MG, 10MG, & 15MG Capsules and is expensive.

"I've had my IUD for almost 6 months now. I researched a lot about birth control before picking the Mirena. In the beginning, after having it in, it is a rough ride. Bad cramping, bleeding for a month straight. Once that stops and ur body  adjusts, it's pretty nice to not have to think about birth control. I still PMS, get cramps, and have spotting around the time I would be having my period but not anything like how it was naturally. I have concerns about long term affects bc I'm only 21 and I would love to have babies one day, just not right now. Bc IUD are so new they are still working out long term affects so I would only suggest getting one if you are done having kids."


"So I got breast augmentation 2 days ago. And they gave me the patch before the surgery. I woke up and went home. I was a tad nauseous but it wasn't bad. Didn't last long. But the first thing I noticed was cotton mouth. Then I started to experience far sightedness. I couldn't see close up. I found myself focusing like an old woman who holds her reading material way out in front of her. At first I blamed it on my pain meds. But even when those would wear off I still had blurred vision. I really hope this doesn't last long. Not worth it for me. Won't be taking again"


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


"After one year of MRI, CT scan, ultrasound exams for unexplained sharp chest pain (neuropathic, possible neuroma) I was prescribed 10 mg amytriptiline to be taken at night. After 2 months this has brought me back to normal having failed wth all other medications including tramadol. No symptoms at all now though it was necessary to persevere as it took about a month to kick in. Worth trying if you have drawn a blank with everything else..."


"This is my first time posting on this site. Anyway, I am writing this because this is the only topical cream that has worked for me. I've tried many medications, but they would either not work or make my acne even worse. Tretinoin, on the other hand, worked in less than a week, and I could see my acne completely go away after two weeks.

The only bad thing is that this made my skin peel really bad. It would sometimes cause my skin to sting a little when I washed it."


"I started Paxil a month ago I had  no effects.Im on 40mg. It made me feel good after two weeks I was alot happier."


"Took my first 10 mg Brintellix just before I went to bed at around 11:00 p.m.  It's now 6:30 a.m. & I haven't slept.  Not a wink.  Going forward, I will definitely be taking them in the mornings.  I just arbitrarily rated it as a "5" since I've only taken one.  Other than being wired, I haven't had any negative side effects.  I never hold out much hope for any new antidepressant, though.  It seems that nothing works for me.  I will take Brintellix for at least a couple of months before deciding if it works & whether or not I want to continue taking it.  The cost will also factor into this (in a big way).  My dr. gave me a month's worth of samples & a card for some sort savings program..."


"I have (HAD) strong panic and anxiety attacks specially out in public. I feared everything. Always the ...  What if this?... What if that? ..worried about the worst things that could happen. Lived on edge of my seat. Then doctor gave me Xanax and I felt like myself again. All fear was gone and I was so much happier. More at ease with things. I didn't stress out so fast and could go have fun in my life. Xanax is my life saver. "


"I was first diagnosed with MS in 2006. I have tried Rebif, Betaseron, Copaxone, Avonex & lastly Cytoxen (which is chemo). I am now 47. I have been on Tysabri for 6 years. Tysabri has quite literally saved my life. My peripheral vision is gone due to prior MS flares, but my flares are non-existent now. Since I have been on the drug so long my greatest side effect of infusion seems to be fatigue for a day or 2 after infusion. During infusion I am also given IV Benadryl & anti-nausea medication.
My MRI's have come back clean...no demyelination. If previous MRI's and spinal taps did not show positive proof of disease I would like to believe I was cured.
I do have neuropathy. I don't walk as fast as most and I jumble words. I am JC NEG"


"Finally got relief from constant burning sensation in my esophagus after 3.5 months.  It took 23 days before feeling totally fine.  Tried Prilosec and Esophaguard from Life Extension prior to using this prescription. I also stopped drinking coffee and wine, stopped taking Actonel for bones because after 4  years, it contributed to the heartburn also. I had to change my calcium intake with Calcium Citrate instead of carbonate so that it could be absorbed."


"I'm a 29 year old female with no preexisting medical conditions. My doctor recommended Contrave for assistance with weight loss. I was originally on the phentermine diet pill but my doctor said that pill wasn't healthy. I was hesitant to use Contrave because it was SO expensive. I paid $98 for it with a coupon. Once I saw that it was the #1 prescribed weight loss pill, I thought it would be worth it. Well...I'm 3 weeks in to taking the pill 2x daily with absolutely NO weight loss. The first day I was sick as a dog but after that nothing. It has not curbed my appetite at all. I still crave sweets, salty food etc..even more than I did when I was on the phentermine pill which is cheaper.  I feel like I wasted my money."


"I have ADHD and have been taking Adderall for 5 years now. I take 30mg in the morning and sometimes a 10mg in the afternoon. It helps me to focus in school and get better grades. I have gotten to the point where I will not even go to school without it."


"Used this pill at 5mg and it worked but the erection was uncomfortable (too hard). It caused congestion and a severe headache within 20 minutes of taking the pill. Have tried Viagra and found better results from 50mg of that. Levitra worked but would not recommend it as much as Viagra. "


"I was on Kariva for 3months and then I decided to stop taking it all together. I'd experience dizziness to the point where I'd have to sit down and also had an increase in constant headaches. The day that I decided to stop taking it, I had an extreme mood swing/panic attack. Some days while taking the pill I didn't feel like myself emotionally. I originally got on the pill to help reduce my cramps because they were so painful. The pain of my cramps did lessen, but occasionally it was still as intense as it was before I was on the pill. I bled/spotted on the third week and had my actual period the fourth. So I ended up bleeding well over a week which is more than my normal. I did not gain any weight, but my appetite increased."


"This is my third time using the depo, in between children. After reading comments I thought I'd share. When  I have my first shot I bleed continuously with cramps and I suffer migraines for a couple of months but then after the second or third it stops altogether with occasional spotting. Now for me whose normal periods are extremely heavy for four days, with cramps, back ache and migraines lasting longer I know it's worth the two months of a normal bleed for however long I'm on the depo for with just spotting.

It's just a matter of waiting it out for the effects to start. I haven't had a migraine in over a month, I've spotted once, I've had no cramps for two. This time round I'm just coming up to my fourth shot"


"I definitely noticed a difference since I stopped taking klonopin about two weeks ago now. I wanted to see if I could deal with life without being medicated. On the plus side it also took my migraines away and didn't make me edgy like other medicines I've been on. I took it with Wellbutrin. It took care of my depression and anxiety perfectly."


"Baclofen worked rather well for my Migraines with Aura. My neurologist prescribed it, my family docgtor was surprised to see it used for migraines but it did work."


"I was recently giving this in addition to wellbutrin to help with anxiety and depression. I was to take 25 mg a day for 4 days then move up to 50. right off the bat I noticed that this made me tired but when I took the 50mg dose my stomach got upset and I threw up about an hour later. Slept a long time. I woke up and felt some of the worse depression I had felt in months. I felt extremely tired, no appetite, angry, no drive, foggy headed. I've never had any success with basic ssri's. I was prescribed this medication over 10 years ago. It was a failure then and it is a failure now. The only AD I can seem to tolerate is wellbutrin. I don't see the doc for a while until then I will be using other tools to combat my depression."


"First 2 months of taking it I didn't stop bleeding, gained 10 lb (been 125 lbs for the past 10 years) got zits! (Maybe had 5 zits in my whole life) then started this pill and I'm a bloated, bloody, zitty beast! I through the pills in the trash today. Enough is enough! Horrible medication"


"I started out with microgestin originally and when I moved I had to switch pharmacies. In doing this, they told me i had to take a different generic because they didn't carry the same brands as my old pharmacy. At first this was fine I was on one brand I can't remember and then gildess. These were fine until 3 months ago they switched me to blisovi. This drug is a nightmare. I'm 5'2 and a freshman in college. I went from 115 to 140. 140!!!!!! On someone my height it's very noticeable and embarrassing! Not only that but my acne is the worst it's ever been my whole life. Do not take this "generic". Even if it's a milligram off your body reacts and this has really messed up my life. Praying Ill be able to work it off..."


"This is the third antibiotic in 2 weeks used for a UTI. Yes the drug has been effective in healing the infection. However. It would not be my 1st choice.
I've had muscle pain in my legs and feet
Exhaustion. Insomnia.grotesque nightmares. Weakness unsteadiness walking. Nausea dry mouth with a taste of metal in my mouth.."


"I loved this medication until it gave me stroke like side effects. The side effects kept getting worst to the point where I couldn't stand up, grasp anything, I talked funny and even messed with my throat to the point of chocking. It is a very dangerous drug with crazy side effects,  not worth it. I did loose weight about 15 pounds, because I was never hungry while taking it."


"I got my Skyla put in today. So initially I assumed I would have a check up before I even got it put in so I haven't taken any pain medicine before. The Dr. putting some numbing stuff and then gave me a PAP. After she stuck a clamp and tried to stick the IUD In but my cervix needed to be  dilated  because it wouldn't go in. That pain of the  dilation  definitely hurt and putting the actual IUD hurt. But not like intolerable pain. It felt like the worst period cramp I've ever gotten +1 for like 30 seconds. And I usually get pretty bad period cramps so it wasn't anything new to me. (If you don't get bad period cramps it will definitely hurt) Walked out on my own and went home and took ibuprofen. I'm slightly cramping and no bleeding yet."


"I was put on this antibiotic to take after I had sex, it was my last hope I get a UTI every time me and my boyfriend have had sex and have 18 since January. Anyway I took this pill in hope it will be the only thing to work for me I'm only on my second dose so I cannot give an accurate answer but so far my ratings are not good after taking true first pill it worked however the next time I had sex with my boyfriend I took this antibiotic and felt the symptoms of a UTI coming back on, the side effects I experienced on this pill were also fast heart beat, drowsiness, waking up in the middle of the night neaseous and shortness in breath which is very scary when trying to sleep, good luck to anyone taking this antibiotic as I give up."


"Age 60 male. Several years with BPH being managed by Xatral but TURP coming soon. Past year my depression/PTSD being managed by Cipralex 20mg. Unhappy with weight gain and anorgasmia so I was just prescribed Fetzima. Weaned off the Cipralex and yesterday was the first day of introduction of Fetzima (20mg) but within hours I developed urinary urgency and much reduced flow. Discomfort increased through the day causing pain and extreme gas/stomach bloating. So 24 hours later I'm not taking Fetzima again until I talk to the doctor. It may just be coincidental but I fear the side effect of urinary retention is a real problem with the Fetzima when exacerbated by a pre-existing BPH condition so beware!"


"I found it made a huge difference...the first two weeks had some side effects (just felt really yuk!) but after that I was very happy...if I am late taking a dose I really feel a difference."


"I wish they would bring this back to the market, Privine is  the only product that never causes nosebleeds and works beautifully. Have used since childhood. If the manufacturer would reintroduce this it would be most helpful."


"Was prescribed the zpac for an upper respiratory infection and took two the first day and one after did nothing for me but make it worse. I can't even laugh with out coughing I stop taking it decided to take amoxicillan instead and now I'm coughing up my mucus. Do not recommend the zpac"


"I had a horrible experience with this medicine, took only 100 mg once in the morning for a severe low back pain and could hardly function. I became so nauseous, vomiting, disoriented, dizzy, my head was clouded, all I could do was try to find a place to lie down. I guess this is what they call high intolerance/allergy to certain medicines. If you know you have a sensitivity, be very careful. It helped my pain some but made my day absolutely miserable."


"ive been taking campral for 3 years off and on i keep drinking for the first week then i just dont want it anymore and if i do have a drink i lose intrest right away like in 3 beers just dont want the booze but theres a catch as soon as i stop taking the pills the cravings come back might have to take the stuff for life but its better than being in the hospital all the time"


"DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!
I am a 21 year old female and I started taking accutane when I was 18 years old. I had suffered from severe acne since I hit puberty. I stayed on Accutane for 7 months. Side effects while on the drug included: Severe dry skin (could not dry myself with a towel or my skin would peel off, had to pat dry), the first couple months my hands were red and it looked like I had scales like a fish, I had dry lips, headaches, and mood swings. Three months after getting off, I was walking in a hall and my hip popped. I am now recovering from my 3rd hip surgery. The doctors have no idea what caused my hip issues being that I have had NO health problems. EVER. If I could go back no amount of clear skin is worth all this pain."


"5mg worked very well for me for a few months. The only side effects I had for a long time were bad taste/tongue numbness, extreme sedation after taking it, hard time waking up the next day. And weight gain! After about 6 months I went up to 10mg. Within 1 month I felt completely "flat" (no true feelings or joy in anything) and my anxiety got TERRIBLE! Tried to go back down to 5mg but then I suddenly developed akathesia and had to stop completely. I have been off it for 6 days now and feel great. I can actually wake up in the morning, my anxiety is subsiding, and the creepy feeling in my legs is completely gone. My therapist told me she noticed I was more "engaged". I have already lost 1 or 2 lbs of the 15  I gained. Too bad it didn't work."


"but you can't  be with people who drink for at least for a year"

"Caused severe agitation & anger"


"I have depression since 2007 and already have three relapses till now. For my first treatment, I was given Lexapro and as most anti-depressants it took around 3-4 weeks for this drug to fully take effect. Side effect to me was minor eg. dizziness, loss of appetite. With a combination of exercise. I did recover although not fully, after 1 year. On my 2nd relapses (failed biz investment), I was again given Lexapro, nothing new to me and the drug itself took effect fast and I felt better after around 3 weeks and move on to a new job. Recently due some persistent health problems (stomach ache), my depression again came back. I saw my doctor and again given Lexapro. The effect was good and felt better within 2 weeks and now I try to exercise 4 times a week."


"LOVE THIS! Wish I'd tried it sooner, still have another week till I hit my 3 months & lost over 60 pounds. (not exercising at all)  484lb to 423lb and still losing pretty steadily!! My only side affects are increased heart rate sometimes when I'm just sitting or somedays I completely forgot to eat... so I took some re-learning to get used to. It gave my stomach the time to shrink (which I normally can not do durning a diet) and I can eat normal portioned meal and feel completely satisfied (how I assume normal people feel) it's a whole new world and I could not be more happy with the results! I lost 10% of my body weight so far & extending pills for 3 more months! If you're on the fence, definitely try it, could be the best thing you do for you!"


"Complete waste of almost $15 I paid for a bottle of this stuff.  It made my cough & dry throat even worse so that I got very little sleep.  I've taken it for 3 nights, each night with the same result, I wish I would have read reviews beforehand, I definitely would not have bought this."


"My blood sugar has dropped and stabiluzed with Tresiba.  I had a reading of 91 before coffee yesterday.  I feel better and think this is a great breakthrough for me."


"Cmc jt arthritis...not sure if helps..pain same at thumb joint"


"This medication has been fantastic.  My depression was pretty significant as there was nothing I wanted to do anymore other than go to sleep at night.  I felt like my life was gone.  Someone took it.  After seeing the reviews on here, I started taking Abilify (10 mg) and it works fantastic.  I started to notice a difference on the second day and I have now been on it for three weeks.  I feel great.  I feel like my life is back and I want to do things again.  It does make you sleepy so I take it at night before I go to bed.  I had a very slight increase in hunger but it was totally manageable.  As long as you don't feed your face every time you feel hungry, and you stick to your normal eating amount and schedule, you wont gain any weight."


"I have struggled with depression almost all my life and have been on Zoloft for more than 20 years.

I recently told my doctor that in addition to being overwhelmed with devastating family health issues, I had been becoming more and more fearful of losing my career because I couldn't seem to remember even the simplest of tasks.  I was literally losing my mind!!!!

He prescribed DEPLIN.  I've been on it for roughly four months.

SUCCESS!!  My memory and mind is as sharp as it's ever been.  Thank God for DEPLIN.  Additionally, my overall mood has improved and I have a calm outlook on life and now take everything in stride.  It's been years since I've been able to just "go with the flow".

I FEEL LIKE A NEW PERSON.  THANK YOU, DEPLIN!!"


"It works, is all I can say. Started on the sample pack at age 12 (I am 16 now, but will never forget my experience). It worked, I cannot say that it didn't, but it gave me the worst side effects possible. After about a month of the medicine, I was diagnosed with depression as a result of Straterra. When I took it, in probably 2011, the box said, "may cause suicidal thoughts or actions", which my physician did not warn me about. Then all of the sudden I was extremely depressed and suicidal and my psychiatrist discovered that Straterra was the cause. He has had several cases before where the mental illness was caused by a drug, and nothing else. Good medicine, just beware of the side effects!"


"Extremely helpful in reducing my need for nebulizer in the winter. I seem to have more energy too. Took it years ago,  now have gone made the switch back from another inhaled steroid that didn't work as well.

The asthma related death scares me. But I'm young and healthy for the most part."


"I've been on Epiduo for many months in the past but stopped using it once my face got relatively clear. I've had acne for around 8 years and tried all the common treatments for acne so needless to say I already tried benzoyl peroxide. So from experience I know it DOES help improve acne but as for how much, it may depend. The first time worked nicely for me but after several months of use it no longer worked on the small pimples and bumps on my forehead so I stopped using it. Applying more or less didn't work either. However, due to recent circumstances I broke out pretty badly on the chin so I've tried using it once more. Sadly, after 2 months the only thing it does is painfully dry out my skin and cause a semi-permanent redness to my face."


"Thank you for the availability of sanity and peace."


"Helps tremendously with cravings. Sinclair method did not work for me as I would still be unable to stop after one drink even after having taken Naltrexone for two years daily. This medicine does work for cravings, though it will take you time. Of course I wish I could stop at just one, don't we all?"


"Best birth control pill I've tried. More expensive but less symptoms than others - no bleeding, no bloating, no weight gain, no emotional effects despite being on it for 3 years.

No periods either which is great! The 'periods' from other pills are not actually periods and are not needed."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 3 yrs ago. I'm 49 and it has completely turned my life up side down. So much pain continuously and I am on Humira, methotrexate and Plaquenil. For pain I have had just about everything Norco, 100mg Fentynal patch and what has worked the best was Oxycontin. It has at least opened a window where I can function and actually spend time with my family. I'm currently taking 2 x 80mg but fixing to tell my doctor to double it up as he said we need to find where we need to be. Anyone suffering from this disease knows the great pain associated with it. God bless if you do and hope this helps."


"I was prescribed flexeril for muscle spasms after spraining my lower back muscles while lifting a TV by myself. It was very helpful as a part of my recovery."


"Age:40 weight:170 pounds height:5' 10" Had heart attack at 35, have 5 stents. Cholesterol prior to attack 280... Have been on max dose of statins for last 5 years and cholesterol has been at 180. No additional improvement with zetia so discontinued.
Started Repatha in addition to 40mg Crestor about 5 months ago. Total Cholesterol has been at about 80 since the first month (hdl 50 ldl 30 tri g 55  ).  No side affects with statins or Repatha."


"I am on my fourth week of taking Aviane and the past 3 weeks have been miserable. The first week had little side effects, but my mood swings have been getting progressively worse throughout this month. In the past week I have started noticing extreme anxiety and cramping (even though I'm not on my period). Now that I am PMSing as well, I cannot stop eating and I feel extremely bloated all the time. Also, my breasts have enlarged but they feel as if they are covered in bruises. I am going to give this pill one more trial month, but so far it has not been good."


"I love that Nuvaring is just as effective as the Pill without having to remember it daily. I just put it in and forget about it for three weeks. I have a little more discharge than usual, but it doesn't really bother me and my doc said it's normal. My only complaint is that the second day after putting it in I feel nauseated and when I take it out, I get really moody by the third day. Hopefully, my body will adjust and stop doing this."


"I started taking Provera January 7th because I had 3 different periods in the month of December, regular (change every 2-3 hrs), to light (barely noticed it (changed every 4-5 hrs), to extremely heavy with huge clots (literally changed everytime I stood up because there would be a gush of blood). I was told to take it for about 2 weeks and that I would have a period afterwards. I stopped bleeding but I got my period a couple of days before the 2 weeks were up. The side effects I've had are nausea (seriously sick to my stomach, the mere thought of food almost made me regurgitate), and my body was extremely sore and it made me tired. I still have pills and honestly not sure if I should still be taking it but I guess the pills work."


"I was prescribed this medication several years ago for allergies. I was told to take it twice a day. It was effective; however, it did cause insomnia to the point the doctor instructed me to take it once a day. It also gave me headaches the first few days taking it. Other then that, it was highly effective."


"I have cervical dystonoa for almost four years.  I started with physical therapy, this was for 4 months.  I then tried acupuncture, this was tried for 2 months. After going to several other doctors, l found a movement disorder specialist.  Is is the best thing that ever happened to me. I now get botex injections in my neck every 3 to 4 months. I occasionally  still have small tremors, but it is 90% better. The only thing that is difficult for me is the pain in my neck when l get the shots. This usually goes away in 3 to 4 hours."


"It works ! After taking seneca for quite a few years it stopped working. Plugged  up, cramps. Doctor put me on linzess and each morning I take it 2.5 hours before I leave to work. Usually flushes me out 3-4 times withing 30 minute period of time."


"I was nervous to start taking birth control after reading up on all of the side effects and being the worrier that I am. However, I've been taking Sprintec for 5 months now and it hasn't had any negative side effects. I'm very relieved. I would recommend this brand to anyone looking into birth control. It has helped my minor acne greatly and also lightened my very heavy period so that now it is average and doesn't last 8 days! I would recommend setting an alarm on your phone for the same time every day so you remember to take it. It was definitely a great decision to start taking Sprintec. Best of luck!"


"Product worked great! Me and my boyfriend went and got the pill immediately. About an hour after our mishap. I had no side effects and started my period a week later. Very satisfied. I recommend this."


"I am having a allergic reaction to this drug and nobody will listen to me. I'm losing my hair. My throat burns, I have blisters on my tongue. It burns when I go #2. I feel like I'm dying!!!!!!!! Why won't anybody help me. I received a shot in my back in Dec. 2016 and I'm still in agony. I had one [1] shot in the Drs. office. I am also on gabapentin [800] mil. tablets. Hydrocodone [10-325 tb tablets. cyclocenzaprine [10 mil tablets.and over the  counter allergy medicine to try to stop the reaction. and pepto-bismol  to stop chronic diarrhea.  If you can help me PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP."


"This is working better than any other nsaid I have tried.  I feel good."


"My LVEF was about 20 when I started on Coreg following a massive heart attack.  I have used Coreg since it first came on the market.  I take 100 mg daily with no side effects.  My LVEF is now between 30 and 35.  My heart attack was 21 years ago.

Coreg has been a "silver bullet" for me."


"I live in Northern New England.  This medication has been a life saver for my S A D ."


"I am 18 and had my first child 18 months ago. I started Loestrin to prevent pregnancy. I am a week into my second pack. The first 2 weeks I had some nausea and I am still getting bloating and sore breasts but other than that it has been good. My periods were always light and the first period I had while using Loestrin 24 Fe was 3 days of pantyliner, light bleeding and very very mild cramping, which was reassuring but not annoying. I would recommend."


"I have only been on lexapro for 3 weeks now but I can say that it has truly helped me make it through everyday amazingly. I read all of these reviews as I contemplated taking it. And I can assure you it will help. I only had slight side effects on the first day, like dry mouth and feeling a little spacey. But it passed fast and has taken away almost all of my panic attacks. If you are really having trouble making it day to day, please at least try it. It was immensely worth it for me and I really hope it can help you too."


"I had my first panic attack almost two years ago. It spiraled from there and I started having panic attacks so bad when I was driving that it got to a point where I could not drive at all. I also had panic attacks when I was trying to fall asleep. I told myself and my doctor I wanted to "beat" this without any medicine. I started counseling, and while that helped a little, it wasn't enough. Finally I told my doctor I was ready to start meds and it is the best thing I have done for myself! The first few weeks were pretty rough, and my anxiety increased during that time. But after four weeks I started feeling much better. Now I can drive again and my anxiety is 90% better. And what remains of it is much more easily controlled."


"I wanted to share my experience with the procedure. I am 19 and never have had kids. When they put in the Mirena it didn't hurt like many women on the review said. It felt like a quick cramp and then it was all over with. It's been about three days, and so far I have had light cramping about 3 times a day and spotting."


"I was offered these by my pharmacist after taking Phenergan which had ceased to work.
I took them now for three nights, didn't fall asleep for over an hour but stayed asleep until 8,30am, a small miracle and so much better than my usual routine, bed at 11pm, sleep at 2.30ish, wake until daylight, fall asleep when its time to get up.
Next two nights I didn't need one, so far so good. Very pleased. Yes a bit drowsy in the morning but easy to work off when busy."


"The first day I used it, I felt terribly sick, the following days I didnt even notice I was wearing the patch. I've been using it fow two years now, it's just wonderful."


"Dose at 0.25 mg had noticeable improvement for BPH symptoms lasting 2 days. Excellent side effect of improved ED function if taken daily at 0.25 mg dosage. Ins. did not cover drug prescribed for ED. Will try for BPH treatment."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"My white count was 1.3 and the Neulasta injection raised it

in one week to 13. Range is 3.5-11.  It didn't seem to affect

my other counts. I feel bloated. Not sure if it is a side affect.

I have a myeloid leukemia called APL. I still don't have

any energy."


"Well took Silenor 3 mg twice over the past 5 days and I have to say it works well. I noticed a difference in the quality of sleep. I feel very well rested the next day. Will keep it handy when I'm having problems sleeping through the night."


"I was prescribed this to be taken 4 times daily for 3 days. My UTI symptoms were gone by the first day. I have now finished the course and my UTI is gone. This medication worked great for the infection. I did not experience any serious side effects except some tiredness, 'spaced out' feeling, and on the 2nd day I did feel very 'down' not sure if that was because of the medication. However on the third day I feel fine."


"I switched from Vestura (generic Yaz) to this due to sudden breakthrough bleeding, which only begun years after I started Vestura.  I went to my doctor to nip the situation in the bud and she told me she hates prescribing any form of Yaz/Yazmin to her patients anymore because it comes with so many warnings / side effects.

Trinessa has been awesome so far - little to no PMS (aside from some bloating, but no birth control can seem to alleviate that for me) and it has worked wonders on my hormonal acne-prone skin - I've not had a break out of any kind since I started a couple months ago.  Best of all, no weird breakthrough bleeding.  I've also noticed that I'm far less lethargic and foggy on this birth control compared to Yaz.  I'm pleased!"


"The only medication that works for my migraines, that last typically 3 days at a time, right side of my head, in my eye, down the back of my neck and upper back. I take the 100mg tablet, 1 every 12 hours, or when I feel it coming back on. Imitrex kicks in within 20 minutes of taking it. As close to instant relief as you can get. GREAT medication."


"Do not let these reviews keep you from taking this drug. I am 21-year-old woman and person who gets very anxious over taking meds and I always make the mistake of reading reviews of them online. That being said, I am a person who is very prone to UTI's and I've taken Cipro twice now and both times it has been wonderful. The only side effect I've gotten is feeling light headed. No joint pain or poison like some of these unfortunate people have had to experience. Take the Cipro- it's better than letting and infection manifest more."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I'm 52 and this was my first colonoscopy.  I got a coupon from the Dr and my insurance covered the rest. The taste is not bad it's only 5oz so it's really easy to drink. After the first dose it started working within an hour. After multiple trips to the bathroom I took dose #2 it took about 6 more hours until the output was what I assume the desired yellow. The procedure was the easiest part of the whole process. Afterwards I slowly started eating and drinking again and the watery output continued for about 12 hours until things got back to normal. If I have to do this again I will use Prepopik."


"After trying rescue inhaler and corticosteroid inhaler, I used Symbicort 3 times so far, 2 puffs morning and evening. I haven't experienced any asthma attack but a different type of breathing problem with burning sensation in my chest with nausea and I had to use rescue inhaler. Will call the doctor soon to see if lowering dosage will improve that."


"The side effects are very strong for me while taking this however, I don't ever remember breathing this good. I feel like there are parts of my lungs that haven't seen air in years."


"Works great, does last 24hrs at the right dose. Give the medication time if you are switching from another pain medicine to Exalgo, for myself I was on morphine sulfate 90 mg and Oxycontin 40mg. It took almost 2 months to work @100%. I was just about to give the Exalgo up and go back to my morphine and Oxycontin but now I'm glad I waited it was worth the painful wait since I have such great pain relief. I take 48 mg of Exalgo now and 60mg of Oxycontin."


"41 years old with mild erectile dysfunction. Tried the 10mg with little results, did the 20mg and it worked great! Took it one hour prior on a full stomach didn't slow down the effects. After ejaculation it was still firm and could have kept going. After about an hour of having sex... felt flush and stuffy... uncomfortable but manageable."


"I literally just used day 1 of  the 3 day. I've taken it before a few years ago with no issue. But today...Omg worst stuff ever !!  I rinsed n rinsed with cold water, applied the external cream(mistake)... That had everything on fire. So then I washed that off n applied cortisone cream. N that was horrible!!! Same burning!! I believe it could be the medicine reacting with the scratching from the actual YI .. Anyways I'm laying in bed trying to keep my lower extremities as still as possible "


"I have been using this product for a week and my skin has been amazing! I would get small zits all over and they have completly gone away and no new zits have come up! No reddness or dryness. I have very oily skin! I recommend this to everyone!"


"I've been on this pill for about three weeks. The first night I took it I felt horrible! But ever since then I've been fine. I didn't eat before or after taking it so that could have been the problem. I always feel like I'm cramping. Not bad cramps but I just feel like something is going on. I also constantly have a headache but overall it's working like it should!"


"Without the medication, I have major headaches, sinus headaches, one eye will begin to bulge, and my head will feel like a balloon. With the medication, I'm good."


"I tried some others before getting this one and though they were effective, experienced a variety of side-effects. This one worked well from the start without any side effects! Love it!"


"As soon as I started this birth control I became very nauseous and bloated. I also became extremely hormonal and began flirting with every guy I saw. I got a lot of side effects as well: stinging eyes, extra sensitive skin, mood swings, soreness, etc. As far as periods go..this still gave me a period and I ended up having brown spotting (gross), back pain, and cramps. It also lasted longer than my regular one usually would.

This BC pill will not help with your acne as it tends to give you MORE hormones than less. I know you've probably heard that your dermatologist say you should give a pill 3 months but in my experience it should start working immediately.  just my advice:)"


"An urgent Care Dr. prescribed Flagyl 500 mg 3 times a day for 10 days because of diarrhea and slight nausea from a possible parasite I caught in Mexico.  She didn't do the standard stool samples to confirm anything and started me on Flagyl.  I was fine from day 1-6.  However, day 7 was awful. I was so nauseous, my skin hurt and felt like it was on fire, my back hurt, I had a headache. I went to the ER on day 8 and they checked my blood, stool did a CT scan and nothing came back out of the ordinary. I completed the 10 days and am currently 6 days off.  My doctor said my stomach has suffered so much trauma it will take a while to get back to normal. I'm praying for some reprieve of this nausea."


"I love it!  I have been on it for 4 months now without any complications (yet)!  I have even skipped my period for one month without any spots or irregular blood saying hi.  I don't feel it during sex and my partner haven't felt it either.
I used to be on the Pill before and the  transition was quite easy.  The only thing that annoyed me was that I got quite a few pimples the first  month,  but it got under control using good products and trying not to eat too much dairy products.  My skin is back to normal now.
It feels so good not to think about remembering the pill every day!  Its just every 3 week!  I have an app on my phone to remind me when to take out."
