"I have a chronic cough for 2 months from allergies that turned to a bronchitis/asthma thing.  On other inhalers and allergy medicines and took Delsym, because the cough wouldn't stop.  Soothed the cough a little so I could get some phlegm out.   Thinking next dose would do the trick, but 8 hours after the first dose I had bad gassy poops!  Don't think I will take the second dose"


"After battling head lice for 6 months and spending hundreds of dollars and countless painful, tear filled hours, I finally was at my wits end and went to my doctor in tears. We are clean people but somehow we get rid of these awful bugs and then surprise, they are back. My doctor prescribed this medicine and I was very hesitant because I could not find any information regarding the treatment used for head lice but within 24 hrs of taking this medicine the lice bugs are just falling out and the nits will easily comb out. This is the worst thing that my 11 yr old has ever been through and I just hope it works. Will continue to let you know."


"I took Plan B about 26 hours after sex and was crazy paranoid because I was ovulating when the insident occurred. For almost two weeks I had fatigue, extreme nausea, swollen and tender breast, but then my period came two days early! Period is normal, not heavier or lighter! Plan B does work, but I wouldn't advise taking it often. All those hormones will make you feel absolutely crazy."


"After only 4 weeks of treatment with Humira for my plaque psoriasis, my skin is almost completely clear. I had large patches on my scalp, left upper arm, both elbows and knees and had spots all over my body like chicken pox. I feel amazing and I am not in pain anymore. Its a miracle. I haven't experienced any side effects and the injections don't hurt that bad. I love it!"


"These comments have been most helpful to me, in my own quest to see how well Savella works for me. I'm a 50 year old female, long suffering (16 years) with fibromyalgia, and a host of other similar ills, and have been on Savella little more than a week. It DOES work, however, I have had to go back, and start again at the 25mg dose, and go very slowly, as the side effects put me in bed for over a day, at the 50 mg dose. 25mg so far, is working for me, although I have dry mouth, some nausea, and the heat flashes, they are getting better. I do eventually want to get back up to the 50mg twice a day, but right now, its too strong for me. However, pain is much improved, although I am also on Lyrica, and several muscle relaxers. Just go slow."


"I too am experiencing hair loss and want to know what to do about it.  I had been taking 5mcg of Byetta twice a day with only minimal side effects for about 3 months.  Then the specialist recommended increasing to 10mcg and that is when I noticed the severe hair loss.  I had been losing my hair before in small amounts but after taking 10mcg it started really falling out in great clusters.  Once I realized that it must be the Byetta I stopped taking 10mcg and have gone back to 5 but am still losing hair - not as much but still happening.  Does anybody know what I should try - I have read some other blogs and this has been great because now I know I am not alone.  I too have this dilemma - stop the Byetta and gain several stone or no hair?"


"I have severe migranes I whould say on a monthly basis and usualy they give me in the  ER room morphine thru the IV but one time the doctor decided to give me this Reglan which change my life in to the worst ! I do not know how this medicine can treat something  ! I felt like burning sensation first in to my stomach and then I started to think that I'm going to die because I wanted to pull out the IV and I was restless , shaking , panicking , anxious and I wanted to pull put the IV line.  The nurses looked at me like I was possessed by demon ! After one year I still feel anxious and weird I know this med change my life in to the worst !"


"I administered these drops twice a day for 2 days. I experienced the stinging and blurriness and metal taste in mouth, but that went away after about 20 min. On the third day, it left my right eye SO SO blurred. Again, blurriness is a side effect, but it did not go away. I am on day 4 that I can't see out of my right eye. It's extremely blurry, and scary seeing as I've had both my eyes for all my life. The doctor said it's an allergic reaction, and gave me artificial tears to "flush out" the xiidra. Basically it's a waiting game on my vision to come back. I will be in and out of my doctor's office until I get some improvement.

I guess just beware and see if there's anything milder to try first."


"I have had severe Gerd/Acid Reflux for nearly 6 years. It has put me in the hospital 7 times now and has totally destroyed my teeth which I have always been meticulous about caring for. Presently, it's also causing me swallowing problems and voice troubles. The pain the Gerd can generate is an actual true "10"-Far far worse than the pain I experienced from a Quad Cardiac Bypass surgery. My doctor gave me Protonix for it and it worked Very well on reducing, perhaps, 80% of the pain. Unfortunately, the medication caused Peripheral Edema Big time and I had to go off of it again. The edema immediately went away, but the pain came back too. I have noticed this reaction from almost all proton pumps that I have tried to date."


"Absolutely increased my energy and clarity.  Taking 200mg of Lamotrigine.  Enabling me to get off Serequel down to 25 mg every other night stopping completely by the end of this month.  As I have more clarity, I have noticed that my anger level is higher (due to not being a zombie on Serequel) as I put up with less.

A bit hyper manic/rapid cycle but under control - note I just started 2 months ago."


"I have been on vybrid a week and a half. I have had a horrible experience with all side effects. It's making me sleep 14 hours with nightmares the whole time. In the starting dose of 10 mg. It helped for only two days.  By the fifth day I increased to 20 mg a day and things are not getting better. I"m still anxious around people. I get depression still. And all it did was make my literally SICK. I stopped it today as I cannot take the side effects.  Seems pointless to keep taking something that is just making me feel sick and not myself.  I called my doc. Am waiting on a call back. I am going to try Zoloft again. It has helped a few times in the past and a few times it didn't help. But I'm at the point I just cannot deal with vibrid anymore."


"Champix has stopped me smoking however the side effects have been horrible. I have been nauseous, made sick by any smell (food or anything else) and am tired, depressed and constipated. "


"I have been taking Januvia for about a year and have experienced these side effects, difficulty swallowing, pain in stomach that radiates to my back, hard time eating because of nausea.  I finally had to quit taking it.  Also was constipated all the time.  Now that I am off of Januvia everything is back to normal."


"I got the Mirena Tuesday of this week. I was very weary about the insertion because I work at the OBGYN & have seen the good along with the very painful inserts. I get high blood pressure with the pill and saw that the Mirena was 100% covered by my insurance so I thought I would give it a try. Insertion is best while you are in your menstrual cycle because it causes your cervix to dilate. With that being said I have not had children and got the Mirena during my cycle, I was barely spotting. Insert gave a small cramp to my surprise much easier than I was setting myself up for in my mind. If you follow direction & take Advil or Ibuprofen every 4-6 starting 1 hour prior insert & 5 days post same routine that will rid of cramps & bleeding. VERY satisfied- no cramps or bleeding!"


"Extremely tired.  It's much harder to get out of bed in the morning.  Ok days, but once night falls, I'm practically falling asleep on the couch.  Also, cannot stop eating!!!  I have a ravenous, constant desire to eat at night.  This is not normal for me and I am sure I will gain a few lbs before this 7 day run is over.  Also experiencing strangely dark urine, almost brownish.

I have noticed symptoms (thin, whitish discharge, fishy smell) have begun to diminish (as of day 4) but are not gone yet.  I also have itching and tenderness in the vaginal area now, possibly the start of a yeast, so I will get some probiotics.

This medication completely sucks, but seems to be the most effective.  Longest week of my life."


"I have bad insomnia and ADHD. My first time taking it was tonight and I was hoping to fall asleep early (I was already very exhausted) to wake up for my 6 am shift in a few hours however I was filled with energy within an hour after taking it and have been up since I'm very upset! Work today will be horrible and I'm not looking forward to it at all!"


"I have been using Caverjet for ten years.

It works great with no negative side effects.

It has changed my life. VA will provide at little cost.

Whatever you have to pay it is worth every penny."


"The only problem we experienced was the size of the tube.
My wife was in a bad auto accident in 1962.  Her pelvis was busted up among many other major injuries.  She is confined to a wheelchair, so I have to administer the enema. The small size makes it a bit difficult to use but it works great!"


"I am a 39 year old Male and injured my back and neck about 7 years ago in a terrible car accident.  I have had a Spinal Fusion C5, C6, C7 and a Vertebralplasty T10, T11 and tried everything under the sun including Opiates for the pain.  For the last year I have been managing my pain and muscle spasms with Flexiril once daily and Massage Therapy. The combination has been a life saver for me literally.  My life has completely changed and I am now active and enjoying life again.  I suggest you try Flexeril daily and get massage 2 to 4 times per month.  "


"This was awful. Put it in  a 3:30 by 5:30 I thought I had fire ants in my pants.  Started reading the reviews because I was in so much pain and I had to drive another 45 min to get home!!!! I called the gyn and she said she also experienced the same problem after the the tablets starts to melt!!! She had me rinse and try to get as much of it out as I could and apply ice.  Better but not great yet. They should not be allowed to sell this.  I have had 2 kids and can deal with a lot of pain"


"I have been taking Previfem for about three years now. The beginning of each new pack I get extremely sick to the point of puking all night & can't keep anything down. On the bright side, I've had a lot of unprotected sex & I haven't gotten pregnant so it does work for birth control.

Time to switch. Can't handle the up all night sickness anymore."


"This is he 4th month I have been taking it and so far in the birth control aspect of it has been great. Used to have very heavy periods and extreme cramping, now I hardly notice I'm on my period. It usually comes about the 3rd day of the placebo pill cycle and last 2-3 days. Have had no mood swings, no cramping, no weight gain (which is my biggest concern) and no spotting. The reason I gave it a 7 instead of a 10 is because I have been having some major acne around my chin and jaw as a side effect. Even with washing my face using acne control products it hasn't seemed to help."


"For the last month, I've been taking Escitalopram 10 mg/day but have had a slight improvement in my symptoms. Now my dose has been increased to 15 mg/day. Let's see."


"Before Ranexa I could not go a day without needing a nitro for the chest pain. Now if I need 1 nitro a month that is a lot.  BUT the side effects are terrible. The bloated feeling and stomach aches are terrible and the constipation has been so bad I need to use MiraLax daily along with a stool softener in the morning and evening. Do not know if I can tolerate the GI problems much longer."


"The first round worked for me and I am still in shock. My OBGYN prescribed 50mg for days 5-9 of my cycle. I bought a clear blue ovulation kit and started tracking when I ovulated. The digital test is the BEST. It told me my most fertile day (day 16) and hubby and I were at it like rabbits. Around day 29 of my clycle I started having period like symptoms and thought my period was about to start. A few days later, when I had NOT started bleeding, I thought it would be best to take a pregnancy test. 7 positive pregnancy test later, and I guess you can say I am pregnant."


"I have not had good luck with this medicine. The side effects were horrible at first but they did settle down and mostly disappeared after 4 or 5 months on the medication. If you're just starting it, give it some time and the side effects will go away, but for me it never helped lessen or decrease my migraines so now my doc has given me Amitriptyline to try so I'm hoping I have better luck with this one!!"


"I was prescribed Metformin 1000mg twice a day and Glicazide 40mg 4 times a day. I took this for 4 years but constantly had an upset stomach and my blood sugar readings were always between 10 and 15 mmol/L and I was gaining weight even though I eat healthy foods. I was then advised to take  Actos 30mg once a day instead of Glicazide.  Although this helped initially my readings were still high and I was gaining weight. I then saw a Diabetic Consultant and he suggested trying Bydureon 2mg injections once a week.  I have been on these for 9 weeks now and my readings are down to 5-6 mmol/L and I have lost 1st 2lbs and feel much better. I get occasional nausea.  I have to pay for the injections and they are expensive but well worth the money."


"I suffered from mild depression, at first I did not believe in this medication, but it's helping to me with my insomnia. I sleep better and feel better."


"I take 2mg Klonopin 4-5 times daily along with Adderall XR 20mg 2 each morning. The combination of the two works great. I suffer from BiPolar disorder, Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and ADHD. I would get so bad I would lock myself in my room at home and cry my eyeballs out, afraid to speak to people, just full blown terrible anxiety. Klonopin is very effective if taken properly. Its a miracle medicine. I used to just be on Xanax 1mg 5 times daily and it started making me angry and aggressive. Some people react different to medications. Klonopin controls my mood, stops the worst anxiety you ever experienced in its tracks. Wonderful medication with just drowsiness as a side effect."


"Had spine surgery and Tramadol hasn't touched the pain.  When Darvacet N-100 was available my pain was managed and it's not a narcotic! Yet, the FDA because a few people had cardiac issues (probably had before taking the med) took Darvocet    N-100 off the market! Now the government wants to limit the narcotics we get and keep us in constant pain so our daily lives are spent trying different avenues to ease the pain. I've had so many complications from Tramadol that I can't read, I fall, I can't drive and I'm greatly depressed. None of which I was having before. This is a sugar pill and I have stopped taking since it only causes me harm...thinking of going to a Naturopathic physician since the government is involved in big pharm."


"My blood pressure went fro 160/100 to 110/70 and I have not had any side effects."


"I always fall asleep reasonably quickly but wake briefly at the end of each sleep cycle (which get shorter as the night progresses) until about 2am when I remain awake for about 2 to 3 hours. With Belsomra I still wake at the end of each cycle but quickly fall asleep again throughout the whole night.
It took some trial and error to get the right dose. A 20mg tablet worked but left me sleepy the next day. 10mg (half a tablet) works well for a whole night without next day sleepiness and 5mg was ineffective."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is my 3rd colonoscopy.  I've done golightly in the past. This is my first time with Suprep.  I don't like drinking water, so this is always very difficult for me.  So far I've made it through the 1st bottle, but dreading drinking the next one in a few hours.  I found the taste just awful and had to chase it with white grape juice.  I wish someone would develop a prep that didn't taste so badly."


"I had a hysterectomy years ago. I find estradiol hard to swallow because of its shape.  I was taking Premarin and it was much easier to swallow due to its outer shell."


"Xanax saved me from the brink. I suffer from panic disorder and anxiety and Xanax has been the only thing that works. The only thing: respect it. Don't drink alcohol on it or you will become highly intoxicated, and possibly get sleep apnea. Respect this drug and it will serve you well. "


"I have been on viibryd for two weeks now (20 mg) for generalized anxiety and moderate depression and I feel exceptionally better. I tapered off lexapro about 2 years ago and was off  anti depressants for the last couple of years. It was an emotional roller coaster every single day until I got on viibryd. I experience some symptoms like dizziness and nausea/diarrhea so I take it at night right before I go to sleep. I am a student athlete in college with an extremely busy schedule and this medicine has helped keep me motivated. The feelings of hopelessness and emptiness are almost completely gone and I feel like I can get through everyday without the constant negative thoughts I was having."


"Much lighter periods. Hardly any cramps. Effective as birth control. Fast hair growth everywhere. I wore a size 12 dress comfortably when I started Lutera three months ago. I'm now struggling  to fit into a size 14 and I've been more active than usual. I guess it's pushing me to exercise regularly so that's kind of a plus."


"I've only been taking Wellbutrin XL for about a month, but it works better than the other drugs I've tried. I'm still not 100% maybe like 70% back to my old self. The side effects I have are dry mouth, ringing ears, and headaches. I haven't lost any weight like other people have said they have. I'm not that concerned with that part. I'm petite. I take 150 MG and I'm 18."


"Tastes good and works fast!"


"I was over weight and prediabetic. I have been on Tenuate 75mg since January 1, 2014. I was about 157 and have lost 16.4 pounds.  I have substantially cut down on my food intake. This medicine suppresses my urges to overeat.  I now eat small portions easily with less desire for sweets. I have cut down on my sugar and carbs.
My doctor said I had to lose weight because my blood sugar was in a prediabetic range. I feel this medicine has been wonderful and effective! I am very pleased and delighted since I was having difficulty taking the weight off. I hope this is helpful to others."


"I missed two doses of Xarelto and had a Mini stroke which doctors say came as a result of the missed doses.  You must take this medicine every day. It does not build up in your system over time."


"I was diagnosed with CLL 10/2005. I began Rituxan 5/2012 once the lymph nodes began to enlarge and my counts were doubling.  Initially I was infused once per week for a month;  I have continued with this infusion but moved to a monthly visit. It is now July/2013 and my numbers have dropped significantly and my doctor has moved to a maintenance program....infusion every other month.   I have never had any side effects from the infusions and doctor is pleased that I've not required chemotherapy medicines added to get same results.  Prior to each infusion, I take two 25mg Benadryl and a Tylenol. Perhaps these medicines beforehand have aided me. I have no complaints!"


"I have chronic back pain for 23 years following a fall down a flight of stairs.  I ruptured 3 discs and fractured various vertebral areas in my lumbar and thoracic spine.  I also have Chronic Lyme Disease, Brucellosis and I have  developed Fibromyalgia and Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome in both lower extremities.  I have various types of paresthesia from burning to lancing. I have been on many types of Schedule II opioid pain medications from Fentanyl, Morphine, Hydromorphone, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Methadone. The best relief & safest medication has been the Morphine Sulfate Extended-release 200mg every 12 hours with 30 mg Oxycodone every 4 hours for breakthrough pain. I just wish it was less expensive since I do not have insurance"


"I developed horrendous headaches after a traumatic brain injury a year ago. After trying far too many non-narcotic alternatives and Percocets, interspersed with several trips a month to the ER for a shot of morphine, my doctors and I have come up with Dilaudid to deal with the bad headaches. I take a single 11mg dose of Dilaudid with two Dramamine and an Ativan, followed by a second Ativan 2 hours later. I go from agony to "let's go to Ikea" in about an hour. I do take a daily neurostimulant (300mg modafinal) for chronic fatigue that may offset the drowsiness you might expect from that combo, but it has been a huge gain for my quality of life. The trick seems to be to get enough Dilaudid at once to stop the pain."


"I am bi-polar and take Abilify and Deplin for that and the Cymbalta for anxiety. It works very well for anxiety - I'm really happy with it."


"I would like to offer my personal experience of the nicotine nasal spray as I think potential users should be aware of the harsh reality of this product and the dangers of using this product. I do not think that anywhere in the internet provides a full and comprehensive review of this particular product. This product while satisfying the urges of nicotine withdrawal, has major potential to make the user dependent on the nasal spray. While the desire to smoke generally disappears, the addiction and dependence is on the spray. It is replacing one evil with another in my opinion.
The spray has terrible side effects, which again are not fully disclosed anywhere on the internet in my opinion. I will go through the side effects:

1. Severe congestion unlike anything experienced with other NRT products. The spray causes chest and lung congestion as well as nasal congestion. Catarrh becomes immediate as soon as the spray is used. Even by using just one small spray in one nostril. Combatting the congestion becomes a daily chore and nightmare. Relying on cough medicines such as Guaifenesin, Actifed tablets - because the congestion and catarrh is so severe that it inhibits breathing. And sudafed nasal spray to unblock the nose. Again, a blocked nose is experienced immediately after just one spray in the nostril.

2. Immediately after using the spray, the catarrh is so bad that one must either spit it out in a sink or continuously carry tissues with them. Runny nose is a constant - immediately after using the spray but also some time after using the spray. Constantly having to wipe the nose results in skin chafing around the nasal passage area and outside the nostrils and in the worst case, bleeding around the nose. Resulting in again - having to constantly apply cream around the affected area.

3. Perhaps the most severe and the most concerning - nose bleeds. Although some have reported that this only happens when they start using the spray, it is possible that nose bleeds continue on and off throughout the time of using the spray. Nose bleeds causes by irritation from the spray. Imagine a chemical that is so harsh and severe that it causes bleeding. This is shocking.
However, the addiction and dependency on this spray becomes so uncontrollable and so strong that one persists with the spray despite nose bleeds.

4. The psychological effects of this spray is another area that has been under reported. Although the spray provides an immediate sense of satisfaction and indeed 'stimulation' as nicotine after all is a powerful stimulant, and in through the nasal passage it is absorbed at high speed of course, thus the effects of this are compelling and indeed enticing. However. The effects only last a few seconds. And then it goes. Leaving one wanting more and more of the spray. As a result the more one takes the less effective the spray becomes. It is a vicious and dangerous cycle. Psychologically one ends up in a state where they are very anxious and worry about where their next 'fix' will come from. And what will happen if they don't have a spray, or run out of the spray in the middle of the night or find themselves in a place where the spray isn't available. The spray one the one hand definitely does stop smokers from smoking cigarettes and is probably the most effective NRT product in that sense, but creates a whole new set of anxieties that did not exist to this extent before. This psychological area needs to be further explored and served as a warning.

5. The cost of the spray is extortionate, especially when compared to other NRT products. In the U.K. The price of the spray is around "


"Had some side effects when first started blurred vison, bright lite hurts eyes dizzness all gone after 3 weeks for HBP from 180/ down to 120s take every other day but was to be 1 every day but still works fine. crap insurance will not pay for it."


"I've been on 75mg of venlafaxine for 6 or 7 years. It is good for me. Before Effexor, my emotions felt like being hit by a truck. After Effexor, it gives me a moment to THINK about things, rather than just disintegrating into a puddle on the floor. I still have feelings, but they're not as overwhelming and I don't feel like I HAVE to react to them.
Side effects: sweating and tiredness. I take a lot of naps!
Missing a dose: About an hour or two after my time to take my pill, if I forget to, I'd get tingly and dizzy.
Withdrawal: I recently tried to stop taking Effexor cold turkey. I lasted 6 days. Intense anger, bursting into tears, a static feeling in my head, like a TV set on no channel, and a tingly feeling in my lips."


"In a few months I exactly doubled my weight -- constant ravenous appetite.  Started on 40mg a day.  But after 15  years of taking it & fighting confusion & appetite & somnolence, even when I got it to 2.5mg and lower, I still had the same objectionable side effects.  Would have been better to take it short term (maybe 3 months) instead of years.  VERY VERY hard to taper off of it no matter how slowly you do it.  I don't think I would ever take it again unless it was a life-or-death situation."


"I have been on treatment with Azopt eye drops - once a day -  for over 25 years.

 About 17 months ago I have started getting breathless - especially when walking on hills - out of the blue!

Until that time I have never experienced such a feeling.

I'm very upset about it.

It's very upsetting that while treating one condition another organ eventually gets damaged."


"My oncologist put me on Ibrance since last week of October 2015.  My treatment also includes Faslodex and Lupron.  My cancer metastasized on the lining of my lungs and also the pelvis area, right breast, and ovaries.  Lungs collapsed. Was prescribed oxygen on exertion.  First few weeks on Ibrance, I was getting worst but by 2nd week of December, cancer damage started reversing.  tumor disappeared, lung fluid decreased, SPO2 got normal.  In April 2016, PetScan says that cancer is no longer detectable... latest PetScan in July says the same plus no more pleural effusion.  I didn't have any side effects at all.  I am still on this treatment:  Ibrance + Lupron (every 3 months) + Faslodex (every month).  I am ER-, Her2-, and PR+."


"I used to take fastin/Fastin XR in 2012. Within a few short months, I went from a size 9/10 to a 4. I kept the weight off for 3 yrs after stopping this product. I’m only 5’3″, so all the extra weight on me was really noticeable. I didn’t like the side effects at all, shaking, racing heart…but it definitely worked. I just started taking this product again, a few days ago, because I’ve gained 35+ lbs within 4 months due to major lifestyle changes. I’m trying to get back on track again. Hopefully, I’ll get similar results this time around too."


"Less needles - hook in mouth for me."


"Didn't work at all"


"Severe constipation, horrible horrible time it gave me,I don't care what anyone says,I was on it for 6 weeks and had to take laxatives every other night just to get relief before it finally hit me what was happening, I went off it right away, terrible drug,I'd rather live with any kind of pain then to ever go through that again!!!!"


"THIS DRUG IS ABUSED BY KIDS.  They take it to "trip" until it kills them or at best screws up their lives until we parents figure it out!!!

This is not a joke!!

Get this junk out of your house and for the sake of your own kids, tell your pharmacist that they shouldn't sell it to kids!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I started BeYaz because it was recommended by a new PA I'm seeing.  SHe said it would help with the PMS symptoms I described.  I've nearly completed the first pack and I am feeling completely out of control, depressed, even suicidal, and irritable and SO angry.  I DID NOT feel this way before, even at my worst PMS times.  I started my period about a week before I should have this month.  I don't know if I should continue using this pill or not.  It just dawned on me that it could be the BeYaz, and after reading the pamphlet and now these postings, I think the BeYaz may be why I've been having these overwhelming symptoms."


"I've been on Adipex for 6 days now and have lost 12 pounds.  I'm really happy about that but I've had constant diarrhea every day since then and have become very dehydrated.  Be cautious of the side effects."


"I've been taking imitrex for migraines 8 to 12 times a month for as long as I can remember and taking excedrine on almost a daily basis for milder headaches.  I started Lisinopril 10mg for mildly elevated blood pressure 2 months ago and haven't taken either Imitrex or Excedrine since.  Very happy with the results.  I haven't experienced the cough that some have, so for me this has been a great experience."


"Amitriptyline is very effective in my Interstitial Cystitis treatment. I took half of 25mg at dinner time. Both frequency and urgency went away."


"I'm a young single mom in my experience Invega gives me a fuller lifestyle my condition is stable and controlled with  Invega so I can live with a balanced happier mind. The only downside is the weight gain and some minor side effects like milk production in my breasts. However the benefit to my mind are greater than some minor and trivial side effects."


"Been on this for only 4 days and the side effects are horrible. Pulse runs constant at 115, tightness in chest, difficulty in breathing, constant belching, foggy feeling intense stomach aches (I never got stomach aches) constant nausea, lack of appetite (that's positive) pain in my chest like my heart is being squeezed. Odd sugars have dropped, range 110 to 140 but when I have not eaten they are at the 140 mark. 4 weeks ago before starting medicine I started eating proteins and vegetables only..they have not dropped.  Odd.  Not using this again."


"I started taking Sprintec because my period were really messed up, for my oily skin and for birth control purposes. I've been on it for almost three weeks now, and the only issues I have been having are more pimples that I have ever had in my life. I've been extremely moody! My patience tolerance is so short now. I blow up about the smallest things, and I only used to have these issues right before my period was due. Or I go from being extremely irritated, to sad. I've been getting bad cramps for the last couple of days too, and I'm not even on my period. And also I am feeling really bloated and I go from not being too hungry to super hungry. Otherwise I like it a lot.I'm just glad I'm not feeling nauseous like a lot of girls had on here."


"I suffer from depression. I have been on Viibryd for 3 months. I take it at 6pm daily, and I'm on 40mg/day. I previously failed Celexa, Lexapro (allergic to Lexapro), and Wellbutrin. I love Viibryd- My moods are improved, I'm slower to react to angry situations, and I'm sleeping better. I'm noticing a nice boost in my libido. One small side effect I have is that I get what is called 'brain zaps'. It just feels like someone is shocking my head. Quick, kind of annoying, but tolerable. I get this sometimes right before I take my daily dose- like the medicine is 'wearing off'."


"I was severely  constipated for 4 days. I took 2 dulcolax and it took around 9 hours to work. I had no major cramps like other people. I  made sure I was well hydrated and was so relieved when I got relief  from my constipation

It is an excellent  medicine my thoughts as to why others suffered severe abdominal  pain is that they were not really  constipated that much or they had taken it to clean out their  system.

I will definitely  recommend it to others."


"I started taking Microgestin about 5 months ago. Before that, my periods were already very light and now almost nonexistent. My breasts do get sore, but I have no mood swings and never get cramps. The only thing I've noticed different about this pill is that for the past 2 months, I've started my period a week early (before the placebos). I talked to a doctor and they said it was fine and may eventually even itself out. Other than that no bad side effects."


"48 years old. Was prescribed Lo Loestrin Fe for heavy frequent bleeding. OB told me it might even suppress periods. First cycle, had light discharge for 10 days. Second cycle: nothing, no period! Crossing fingers !"


"I had 2 level cervical fusion in 2001 and now need 2 more. Norco doesn't seem to give me pain relief when pain is 8 and above. Now I also wear Butrans pain patches and I swear by them. They do come with the usual side effects but combined with the Norco I can survive 10 plus pain."


"I have always had severe period cramps, fainting, nausea, and stabbing pains. Naproxen 500 has been the only (non birth control remedy) that greatly relieves my pain. It's tricky because you have to get the timing just right, not too soon before period cramps start or too late after they already started. You must start it the moment you feel cramps. Starting before your period isn't as effective because that's not how this medication works best."


"I've been taking Effexor for about six months. within the first month I was up to 150mg. Since then I no longer have depression. I do have some moments of depression but not days/weeks. I do not have any panic attacks anymore! I'm not nearly as nervous as I was before Effexor. HOWEVER, my first week on Effexor was hell. I was extremely anxious, teeth chattering, night sweats, buzzing headache. and after months on Effexor if I miss one dose I get brain zaps. I'm also having vivid dreams. good dreams and bad ones. THIS MEDICINE TAKES TIME"


"Wow love this med....been in a lot if pain and nothing helped.  I was on gabapentin, baclofen, Topamax, percocet...nothing gave me relief.  I still have pain but it has been knocked down some and it does help me sleep.  I have fibromyalgia, small fiber neuropathy, scoliosis, osteoarthritis, collapsed discs, disc disease."


"Hi there I started taking this medicine in may and then i was at 285 and now im at 279.5"


"It works good on the pain but it makes me have bad dreams and sleep uneasy."


"Simply put the doctor told me I needed to lose 50 plus pounds as my weight was affecting my eye sight. My doctor put on Belviq three and a half months ago and now I have lost 28 pounds and am no longer on my way to diabetes. Frankly I did not see this coming but am now able to realize a healthy lifestyle weight wise means a long less painful life. Still trying to add more walking as running is out of the question. Side effects zero except for good sleep. While not a miracle anyone with decent concern for diet and if they can add exercise will lose weight. I will not gain this back at all cost to my life."


"Do not stress yourself out! I promise you this does work. I stressed myself to no end when I read bad reviews about this, some of which probably aren't even true. My period came on time, but it is super heavy! When you buy this, make sure you print out the $10 coupon online if you can. But don't stress, it does work :)"


"My Doctor put me on prednisone, 20mg a day for carpal tunnel. I was on gabapentin but I'm in the 1% that has severe reactions to it. I'm also on spironolactone, 200mg a day for my polycystic ovarian syndrome. Spironolactone which helps greatly with the water retention, and acne side effects of the prednisone."


"I was on Effexor for a few months only and found it to be not particularly helpful. I had weight gain, extreme tiredness during the day and feeling 'blah'. I decided to go off them and it took me longer to get off them than I had been taking them. The withdrawal was terrible. I had head spins that would last all day, couldn't focus, extreme dizziness if I turned too quickly etc. "


"My doctor switched me on Monday to Tirosint from levoxoryn and after 4 days I going back to my old medicine and I thank God I still have some because I can't go another day with this headaches, fatigue and muscle aches.  I've been on levoxyl, thinthroid and levoxoryn and none have made me feel this horrible.  I was planning on dealing with it to see if the symptoms would go away but I work doing payroll and taxes and this medicine is making me work real slow and making errors so I don't have the luxury to wait and see if in time I feel better.  What I don't understand from what I've been reading this is a more pure form of levoxyl so if he's giving the same dosage wouldn't it mean he's over medicating me? I haven't talked to him yet."


"I cannot stop singing its praises. Two years ago I had no idea what was wrong with me, I felt "fogginess" and tried everything- declared "headaches" caused by anxiety or depression, had to take a year off of school since I couldn't function; xanax helped but I didn't understand why, and about 17 other antidepressants or antianxiety medications later I was put on lamictal due to a diagnosis of BPD. Almost instantly, from that initial does of 25mg I started being able to focus and the fogginess lifted. As the dosage increased to 150mg to twice a day, I was given back all waking hours of clarity. I could focus, produce, study, think clearly, remember clearly, everything. As a result of being given power back, the depression vanished."


"I went on these pills for preventing pregnancy. My doctor told me to not have unprotected sex the first week. I had unprotected sex twice in the beginning of the second week and I got paranoid when I researched the brand and found out they were generic-pregnancy rate is higher. These are combination pills-means that I did not have to take it at the exact time every day.  The pills gave me crazy side effects as soon as I started them. Nausea happened everyday for the first 2 weeks to the point where I would throw up or go to the bathroom. I started eating a lot more and gained 3 pounds in the first week. Did not experience emotional changes. Got my period at the end of the last row and lasted 7 days. Not bad brand if you don't have insurance."


"Never lost any teeth, been on methadone on and off since I was 20 am now 37. I was a IV drug user and had a problem smoking crack. I believe it is a myth that your teeth fall out. I have been clean now 6 years nothing helped me, but the methadone. The key to being clean is you just have to be sick and tired of running after I been homeless,they took my kids - I just got sick of it . I am currently been on the same dose for years , been clean of all drugs, and have my children back. Methadone also helps me with my pain I experience due to 2 back surgeries. It saved my life and my family!"


"I had been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for nearly a year. I, like many others thought I had something physically wrong with me. Several trips to the ER led me to the diagnosis of anxiety disorder/panic attacks. I was prescribed Xanax which I took 3-4 times a day to try to control the anxiety. My anxiety ended up leading to depression. I started on Lexapro just over 3 weeks ago. I was initially afraid to take it but I didn't want to continue on the Xanax that often. The truth is Lexapro gave me my life back! If I would have known that it would helped me like this I could have not suffered for so long. I'm so glad I decided to try it!"


"I've been on Nexaplon for 6 months now and I can say it's been very affective, I have unprotected sex without pulling out and I've had no trouble, so that's good. But I have gained quite a bit of weight,  I went from a flat stomach to a little bit of a pudge. I also have experienced slight mood swings and acne, but the weight gain is by far the worst and most noticeable. I really like Nexaplon because of not having to take a pill, or get a shot every 3 months, and it's awesome to not have to wear condoms lol. Besides, I love how it's a lot more affective than pills or anything else, but I am in fact insecure about my figure now.... at least I'm not pregnant. :-) Hope this helps"


"Effexor
I have tried many drugs but found that "in my case" they are not necessary.  I went for an ultrasound on my carotid vein.  The doctors said the flow was in the normal range but you could see that they were narrow. I went out of country to have them widened... No more anxiety and depression....drugs are cheaper and more profitable than minor surgery.  I will return for stents.

"


"I decided to discontinue after the 4th infusion.  Very expensive which might have been worth it had it improved diarrhea.  Instead with each infusion ulcers in my mouth flared worse (they were already there - Crohns in the mouth), severe fatigue, all over body pain, worsened sinus problems, weird tendon-like pain in hands & feet. all of which got worse and lasted longer which each subsequent infusion.  My last infusion's symptoms lasted for weeks!"


"My son has been taking this medication to help gain weight.
It has helped his appetite and seemed to help with his morning sneezing also. We give him a teaspoon in the evening and he is hungry before bed and eats more in the morning now."


"This is an old medication. The price has gone up incredibly and for no apparent reason other then profits for the manufacturer. Medicare programs do not cover this Rx and all my doctors recommend that I stay on this Rx. We are being ripped off!"


"This medicine is a godsend. I literally felt like it grew me up. it helps so much with bi polar disorder!

I used to walk down the street and wonder what passing cars thought about me and wondered if they thought I walked silly. Weird but true. After a month on this medication my life changed. I was more focused my mood swings were not so sever if any at all (I used to have mood swings that would last four and sometimes six months at a time).

This medicine changed my life and I feel as though the effects were life changing! Even when I stopped taking the medication I still felt the affects from how I felt. I do not recommend stopping taking the medication though as the mood swings will gradually find their way back into your life.

I"


"I guess my experience is unique in that I am an eating disorder survivor and my chronic constipation originated from purging (forcing myself to vomit &/or take huge quantities of various kinds of laxatives) for many years... I have been taking Linzess for about 16 months now. I would say it took 3-4 months for it to actually start working for me, but when it did, it seriously changed my life for the better. However, lately it has not really been working at all, which is extremely anxiety-provoking and concerning, as it took me forever to find a solution to my problem...and now I might have to start looking for another."


"Within a week I noticed I had more energy to just get stuff done.  Tasks at work, hobbies, errands - I just have more energy to get out of bed and do stuff.  Then my shriveled up penis went back to it's normal soft 4 inches.  After another week or so, I was able to get my normal 8 inch erection again.  I don't know what guys did before this medicine was invented.  I would have had to get out a magnifying glass.  All of a sudden I now feel like I need to do something about the beer belly, and working out feels like it is worth the effort again.  Androgel is like the fountain of youth."


"Bad side effects! I'm 20 years old and have not had kids and got the mirena due to heavy periods, this was 2 years ago now. Getting it inserted was so painful I was traumatised by the experience. However I have not had a period or spotting in 2 years. Downfall I developed acne, depression, anxiety and horrible mood swings. More recently I got BV (bacterial vaginosis) (horrible smell down there) antibiotics as well as creams are not getting rid of this reoccurring for 4 months and now after some serious thinking I'll be getting the IUD removed as the side effects are not worth it anymore! I can't wait to get it out and start feeling like myself again. I hope the removal doesn't hurt as bad! Do your research."


"Took Repatha on advice of my Doctor since I had very bad reactions to all the statins. After injection 3 I blew up like a balloon so badly I could not wear any of my clothes, I was very ichy, had huge red blotches all over my body, did a lot of throwing up, eyes swollen shut. Still suffering after 2 months off Repatha. Do Not Take It."


"Although there are many side effects which it can cause, even if one or two of the serious ones come, it could be worth it in the end.  I know the depression and isolation from very severe acne, never wanting to go outside because of how horrible my skin always was.  The only medication that actually worked for me was Accutane.  I realize that it gave me slightly blurred vision, but the result from using it was fantastic.  For anyone without severe acne who doesn't know how horrible it really is, they can't understand it, but when the only thing you want is to have clear skin, the risks are simply worth it."


"Reading the testimonies here, I'm one of the luckier ones. I did not have to have a catheter, but I had to strain to void like I have never strained before. I was worried that I was going to do damage to the bladder muscle. I had constant feeling of needing to urinate. Rarely felt like bladder was empty. On top of this, my hands and feet would swell every day, when I have no problems with water retention. Doctor said I shouldn't ever have Botox again as it's likely an anaphylactic reaction. I had the procedure two weeks ago and am still miserable. Still not as long as others have gone through, but I was much happier to take the medication. Naturalist recommended a dot of estrogen cream on the urethra will draw it up to stop leaks."


"I have had the Kyleena in since early March 2017 and in the beginning was really regretting it because I felt like I was constantly bleeding and cramping. I passed a lot of clots and I was just always uncomfortable. Today being July 2017 I feel like I have put the bad things behind me and am enjoying not having to worry about birth control. No more cramping, no more clotting and best of all I haven't gotten a period. Stick with it ladies, it will be worth it. It is true what they say though, allow a solid 3-6 month for you body to get used to it. Good luck!"


"I have been on this medicine for about 2 1/2 months and it has been clearing up my back well but my back only, it hasn't done anything good to my face or chest still get breakouts and it annoys me because this medicine is my last chance because my doctor said I am not allowed to go on Accutane. I don't know why it only helps my back and not my face but I'm hoping these last 2/3 weeks clear up my face also."


"I was doing some research for medication that would help with Fibromyalgia pain and I came across Contrave which included a bonus med as it is  for appetite control.  I started with one pill yesterday.  It made me feel a little out of sorts at work - hard to stay focused and detail oriented.  After work I went biking - felt great!  For dinner, I couldn't finish my plate - very impressive!  I was very tired though - hard to stay awake.  Then about midnight I woke up and felt wide awake.  My restless leg syndrome had kicked in for some reason.  I fought through it, and managed to get back to sleep.  I woke up this morning before the alarm went off and my fibro pain was gone - completely!  So happy and excited to see how this continues."


"Bloating, headhaches, WEIGHT GAIN! Moody, irritably. I can't stand it."


"Only on 75 mcg for three weeks, but have headaches, spine feels compressed, joints ache, muscle fatigue, sleep disorders, not to mention extreme hair loss, dry skin, oh yeah, forgetfulness. "


"I was given this shot in the E.R. for intense pain from a gallstone I had been dealing with and was scheduled to have removed. Unfortunately, the Gall Bladder became infected. The shot did nothing, nor did a second dose. I had already been in pain and I rarely get relief if I wait until it gets that bad instead of taking medicines consistently to keep it under control. My boyfriend, on the other hand, had a bowel resection and was also in extreme pain despite having a morphine pump. He was switched to Dilaudid and it relieved his pain immensely. As the reviews show, everyone is different. I don't know if I didn't get relief because it was too late for me so I rated it for that and for how well it worked for my friend."


"I have only just started using Suboxone/Subutex and I have to say it works great for the cravings and the withdraws. The only reason why I did not give it a 10 is because of the side effects. I had many side effects on the Suboxone so my doctor moved me to the Subutex. The side effects have gone down except two. I have a problem falling asleep. I constantly pass out when ever I'm not focused on doing something. I'm standing in a company meeting passing out and almost falling over and Driving is a challenge in its own. Secondly its causing stiffness in my muscles when ever I'm not moving for long periods of time. When I wake up at night or in the morning, I can't hardly move to roll over or get up. Other then these problems, it is great!"


"I've had paragard for over 6 years. No issues at all. My periods last a little bit longer.

Grateful for a hormone free birth control!!!"


Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IIa, Elevated LDL

"I took Tricor for three years with non side effects. However, my LDL cholesterol level remained > 240. Use a statin when appropriate."


"I'm 44 and have had rosacea (untreated) for about 15 years...with pustules mostly the last 2-3 years...one doctor telling me it was adult acne. Anyway, it got really bad after changing my diet to keto, and I knew it should have cleared my skin up but the pustules got so bad.  My Dr prescribed the generic gel and within two weeks the pustules were completely goneband another two weeks and skin texture is wonderful, but the redness remains on my cheeks so only 8/10.  I'm going to ask my Dr about something else when I go back for the redness. I'd like to know why I waited so long to treat it. This worked great and my skin hasn't been this clear ever in my life. No side effects that I can tell"


"Having battled anxiety and insomnia for years, and not wanting to take an addictive drug, trazodone has done wonders for me. I take 200 mg a half hour before bed and then light's out for 8 hours. I used to wake up groggy but that went away after three weeks. Best sleep aid I have ever had. Now, no more anxiety."


"During the first year, severe migraines, it felt like my head was going to explode, mood swings, loss of sex drive."


"I have a 5 month old and just had the Mirena last month. It is amazing! Did not hurt whatsoever when they inserted it. I have had no side effects, cramping, nothing! I even have noticed I have lost a few pounds versus the weight gain of traditional birth control pills. I read reviews for weeks that terrified me for no reason, it was painless. It is worth every penny and I am so pleased with the results. "


"This medication has been the most effective pain reliever I have taken for my kidney inflammation and irritation pains. Have tried multiply pain medication but this one is the most efficent for relief and duration."


"Magaly has been on afrezza for 1.5 years.  Love the ease of use, predictability, and rapid action.  Waiting 4hours to bring down a low and worrying about stacking at no longer an issue.  Best control and A1c ever."


"I have been on many anti-depressants over the years. I have had depression and anxiety since I was 21 years old, and am in my late 40's now. Other anti-depressants caused horrible cravings for sweets and carbs. Plus the medications didn't work that well for me. I have been on Effexor for 8 months, 150 mg.  It works wonders for me. I actually like to be around people now. I go places etc... I have a life again, and noticed that I get excited about life. Also, I have lost weight on it. My cravings are gone, I feel full after a meal and full a lot longer after the meal. I am gaining back my energy. I am a woman who was so severely depressed, I couldn't even get out of my recliner, and didn't get dressed most days. What a difference!"


"I got Hep C from a blood transfusion in the 70's and really didn't have any problems until last fall when my liver functions went crazy, the doctor suggested Harvoni but it was impossible for me financially. The doctor was able to get me assistance and I began treatment on 10/14/15. The first few weeks were difficult, I experienced confusion, upset stomach, fatigue and mild headaches. After 3 weeks or so the side effects eased up, especially the brain fog, and I discovered eating something sweet helped a lot with the stomach problems. The side effects for the rest of the time, on a scale of 1 to 10, I would describe it as a 3 or 4 and would do it again if I had to. Today (1/14/16) I got the results, it is undetectable! What a relief!"


"I found this drug to be very effective. I had previously tried loestrin 24 Fe and Minerva and had awful side effects (mood swings, crying, etc) within the first week of taking each drug. I then took orsythia for 3 months and had no side effects! I was not at all moody, bloated, did not experience breakthrough bleeding, and did not become pregnant. Although the pill has many bad reviews, I'd recommend this birth control to people who may have had bad side effects on other birth control hormones and are looking for one that fits their needs!"


"I had ovarian cancer and had an oopherectomy, my oncologist wanted me to use this drug for at least 10 years, started with higher dose and have gone down to 0.05, have tried dropping it to 0.025, but noticed I was having the hot flashes and lack of sleep at night, gone back to the 0.05 and enjoy it so much more, although I am now going on my 12th year of taking it. Trying to wean off of it but without the ovaries it is hard. Love this patch!!"


"I had lileta inserted Oct 2015 and  now 1 yr later. I'd say I do like this form of birthcontrol. The only things I hate is  the weight gain and acne I've always had some acne but now my skin is super oily so its gotten a bit worse. other than them 2 things I love this . My sex drive has gone up. hubby loves that."


"Okay well day one here.. inserted this stuff maybe 20 mins ago.. holy freaking crap.. the ITCHING WAS UNREAL. I was itchy just a bit  from my infection.. this made the inside outside  area itch like a crazy. Oh my god. I felt like ripping my hair out!! It's died down a bit now.. but feel a little burning, nothing too bad I hope it stays that way. Glad I found these reviews I didn't know what was going on.. MILD increase of itching and burning?? Lies. Hopefully day two goes better.. never gone through this, I had one YI before this and got the pill.. now I'm 25 weeks pregnant and can't take it so this is my only option. :( wish me luck tomorrow isn't as miserable"


"Just started trying Klonopin, really helps me to feel less anxious and relaxed. Not as stressed as I usually am. Hope this lasts. I get great night sleep as well."


"The birth control pills I tried before Beyaz made me so emotionally crazy. My academics and social life crumbled to pieces. After stopping those pills my Gyno suggested Beyaz since I have a history of anxiety and depression, and I am SO glad he did. Because of my history and how hormones mess with those conditions, if Beyaz had the same mentally severe side effects I would be forced to forgo birth control altogether. But now my life is back on track and I deal with no emotional or hormonal effects from this pill, no nausea, no weight gain, and only headaches that went away after 2 - 3 months. Thank you BEYAZ."


"60kg female. I had cystitis acne on face and jaw. I had acne from 13 years of age. I'm 31 now. I tried everything! Then asked for Accutane. I was on 20 30 40 50 50 steroids and 60 dose. For about 7 months, as I kept having pimples (small but pimples). I had regular blood and pregnancy test each month. The steroids kicked the medicine in the butt and at 60 cleared my face completely. I was on 60 for 2 months and I knew I had no acne at all. I wanted to give up, after 5 months when I was on 50. I would have no pimples all month but when on my periods. I finished on 60. No acne then and no acne 3 months later."


"I've been taking Beyaz for about a week now, and it has been great. The only side effect I've really had a problem with are intense cravings. None of the other side effects (clearer skin, increased libido) have been a problem to me in the slightest. I would say that starting to take Beyaz was a wonderful choice."


"Terrible pill.   Depressed, lethargic, moody, snappy, no appetitie but weight gain some how, constipation, white bumps on skin....nothing positive to report except that a little less dry than usual.  Not worth it though"


"This medicine truly saved my life, my job, my relationship with friends and more. I have suffered with GAD, prementrual despotic disorder, worrying constantly, on and off for over 20 years. When I felt great life was wonderful I could do 100 things at once but when depression hit I was totally disabled couldn't work, shut myself off from the world and just wanted to sink away. I started Lexapro and within 2 weeks I could get out of bed. After 30 days I had absolutely no side affects and felt amazing!"


"I have noticed that my periods have become basically nonexistent which made me worry I was pregnant. After looking at everyone’s experiences it has made me realize I also have weight gain (10lb), major mood swings, low libido, and emotional spells for no reason. I have been on this brand of BC for about 4-5 months now and the only good thing is the light periods and no pregnancy. I am asking my doctor to change brands if possible."


"So I got this implant 08/2015 and the first 4 months my periods were normal and first 2 months I had a few mood swings. After the 3rd month everything seemed normal for about 3 more months. No weight gain, or mood swings or anything but now it got pretty bad. I went without a period for two months but now that it's back I get it every 2 weeks. I saw my dr yesterday 7/272016 and said that it is thinning out my lining so maybe that's why I am having my period more often. She prescribed some estrogen to see if it balances everything out and if not then I will need to take it out."


"I have only been on this pill for week, and I feel as if I'm not even on b.c. at all. I feel no change which is welcome after dealing with ortho tri cyclen lo for several years. With that pill if I missed a pill or started later than a week after the last set of pills, it made me feel like crap. This pill, I haven't felt anything since starting it. And that's awesome."


"I've been getting terrible migraines for almost 20 years now. I currently take Topsmax to prevent them. When I was younger, I was prescribed Fioricet for the pain and never thought it worked very well. I switched to imitrex, which worked miracles and now take Maxalt Melt, the orally disintegrating tablets, which are also a -triptan medication. It is the only type of med to get rid of my migraines. Just tried fioricet again in a pinch and didn't do anything! Tramadol does not work either."


"I've been on lryica for a month now. 150 mg 2x a day.  It works wonders for the awful muscle spasms and fibromyalgia pain but I do have side effects. I have to do every thing from chores to running errands before I take it. Once I take I become unbalanced, forget words and become extremely tired. I sleep a lot and very heavy and usually can't remember the previous day. I definitely cannot function after I take it. I don't care for the side effects but so far has been the only thing that has worked for me. I tried cymbalta, neurton, zanaflex, flexeral lots of things. To me its worth taking the lryica as those terrible rib and back spasms keep at bay..and after two years of dealing with those I don't ever want to again. btw does kill my appetite."


"I was in the middle of having sex with my boyfriend when there was little lubrication and I felt pain so I made him stop then when he took off the condom it was broken and he actually ejaculated inside of me! This happened at around 11:00pm and of course all the pharmacies were closed so the next day as soon as most pharmacies opened(9:00) I got the plan b pill. My period was supposed to come yesterday and I just got it today so I made this review!! Plan B works! I was so scared but really, don't be. As long as you take it within 24 hours you'll be fine"


"IMPORTANT: I started Yaz about a year ago and at first I noticed nothing. Then I became extremely irritable towards my boyfriend for no reason. My breasts grew a full cup size (plus), BUT Yaz gave me a yeast infection for four months and made me gain ten pounds. I know everyone is different but I really did not notice how much weight I gained, my infection is terrible and I am switching."


"I've had Implanon for 2 and a half years now. I can't wait to get it out and I will never get it again. The main reason is I have gained A LOT of weight with this, and also I feel is the cause of my acne/mood swings. My periods have now stopped completely, besides the odd month of spotting. Spotting that may last about 2 weeks, then stop for one week, then come back for another week. It definitely does it great job  as acting as a contraceptive. Handy for people who don't want to take the pill everyday."


"The side effects were limiting especially tiredness and not sufficient pain relief."


"I've been on Aviane for about 2 weeks now. Just a little moody, but so far so good."


"Excellent! My total testosterone went from 295 to 856 in four months. I now workout and run regularly. I am 55 years old and feel like I did at 22 years old. My sex drive has gone through the roof and my wife says I am a "new "man."


"This cough medicine was not only ineffective, the grape  taste and consistency was awful.  Waste of money."


"Clonidine works well when you are suffering from opiate withdrawal.  It has helped several people that I know as well as myself.  A life saver for this purpose.  It doesn't take away all symptoms but it does relax the muscles and helps greatly with the hot/cold sweats. I definitely recommend this medication for this purpose."


"I have been taking this for a few months and i weighed myself when i started it, because ive always fought to loss weight and i gain very easily, and as of a few days ago i had a appointment and i got weighed and im up 15lbs! omg, i felt like i had gained but i didnt think 15. I take 1 pill every other day, cause it controls my life otherwise, when i take it, i have to stay home because im in and out of the bathroom for hours at a time. It does help with the pain and some of the bloating, but the weight gain, nope im not taking it anymore. I havent changed my diet since ive been taking it, i eat mostly a keto diet, as breads and anything carby makes me feel like crap and i get very bloated. I would like another pill for ibs-c /no weightgain"


"The PA in my endo office thought I would benefit from this even though I'm type 1 but showing signs of insulin resistance. Taking this injection was one of the biggest mistakes of my life!! I've experienced extreme nausea, severe headaches, heartburn from mild to severe. I've vomited one time which made me think back to when I had food poisoning from eating crab, which was an awful experience. It's now 5 days after taking the first injection and the above symptoms have lessened. No real appetite and when I do eat my stomach is queasy.   I will not be continuing with this medication."


"I find that this medication does a great job of making my arthritis pain tolerable by taking the edge off of the pain."


"I struggled with anxiety and panic disorder most of my life.  As a child, I was unable to eat in the cafeteria or read aloud because I hated to be watched by others.  Progressively it got worse, peaking when I graduated from college and got my real job.  Having tried Buspar, Effexor and Lexapro with no progress but a whole lot of weight gain, I gave up.  Finally my doctor offered me 0.5 mg Klonopin prescription and it has been life changing.  I have been taking it for about 8 months.  My only issue is that he is still suggesting another SSRI which I'm tired of trying.  Now he's suggesting Paxil which I don't want.  I just want to stick with what I know works right now which is 0.5 mg Klonopin as needed."


"Okay so I'm writing this because I was going through hell psyching myself out and being paranoid. I'm 20 and I had unprotected sex on July 24th he said he pulled out so I didn't think any thing of then I started freaking out because that's not the best birth control so I get the plan b pill but I take it like 62 hours after the incident. I'm going insane thinking it didn't work I had no side effects to it and I'm not die for my period till August 12th. I woke up this morning with horrible back cramps (which I always get) and I very welcomed visitor from Mother Nature. It came a week early and I've never been more excited to bleed before. Although the period seems a bit heavier and darker than before I'll put up with this for 5 days!"


"My doctor prescribed me Lutera since I am new to birth control. One major thing is that you really need to set a reminder(on phone, alarm clock, anything) because it is pretty easy to forget about it. I've been on the pill for about 9 months, and pretty good. Small things include: weight change (decreased-also my change in diet I think), more acne then before I was on this pill, slim to non mood-swings, slight spotting between periods, and definitely lighter periods. I wouldn't say shorter but definitely lighter. Overall pretty good product for a first time user. Just make sure you set an alarm, also comes in a green sturdy pack so I guess you can find it if you put clothes or books over it and it's peaking out."


"I got it inserted in December 2015, I spotted for about a week with minor cramps. For the first 3 months I had a cycle, but after that I may spot here and there.  The only thing is that I keep gaining weight. I have tried eatin better and working out."


"I've had TN for about 6 or so years was put on 900mg a day and that worked for a few years n duh me slowly stared taking myself off n pain got worse so Dr upped the dose 1800mg a day that worked for quite awhile then later it started coming back so did a lot of research and come across people that did the cyberknife treatment and no referral and they got me in right away for first appt and did MRI and CT and they made a mask and two weeks later I had it done I'm just a few days out since treatment and they pain will get less n less after a month or so, so I'm hopeful, the other comments said they have been pain free after the nerve started to die with a slight numbness n I can deal with that verses pain I'm hoping they find a cure"


"I am 25 years old and have never been pregnant.  Due to having migraines with aura, I needed an estrogen-free form of BC.  I was on Depo Provera ('the shot') for 1.5 years and HATED it.  I gained 20lb without changing my diet, spotted for a year straight with no breaks, and was an overall mess.  Mirena was the obvious choice for me.  Insertion was not fun (<5 min.) and the 2 hours after insertion I had awful period-like cramps.  However, they subsided and by the end of the night, I was okay. The next morning, no pain!  My spotting from the Depo even lifted.  I have only been on Mirena less than a week, but so far I love it.   My anxiety definitely made the insertion process worse, so try to relax."


"Xanax has helped me tremendously, I was having severe anxiety attacks real bad! My doctor at the time worked next door with in the same buliding/office, and he had witnessed my attacks and finally prescribed me just 1 mg Xanax, and he told me to take 1 half in the morning and 1 half at evening. It took a while but finally I was attack free. I feel like I can live my life now!"


"So far so good. Switched from Atenolol and I love this new drug. It keeps my blood pressure low, appetite way down and no more needed naps. Life is good again."


"I was having very heavy periods due to fibroids. My Gyn gave me the shot and it was amazing! No more periods! the trade off I took was night sweats and early onset menopause, but after such heavy bleeding that I have very low blood count, anemia and vitamin D deffieciency, it was well worth it! I'm only in the last few weeks of my first shot, but I can't wait for the next one!"


"Terconazole 0.8% made my itching go away while it was inserted, but it did not clear the infection.  I had a little extra cream and so I have used it 4 nights in a row even though it is supposed to work after 3.  I have to add that this is a tough infection I've had for at least 3 months, and I am pregnant which makes it even more difficult to heal.  Obviously this won't be the case for everyone."


"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 have suffered from toenail fungus for about 10 years finally gave up after trying everything over the counter and all home remedies doctor prescribed pills for  six weeks after having blood work. Had labs done every six weeks for a total of nine months it does take about that time to start seeing a huge difference must take medication daily nail seem to grow slower during the process.  The results are amazing I am showing off my toes after so many years"


"It works. I went from taking over 160mg of oxycodone per day for years to 2 x 8mg Suboxone per day. 11 months later and I feel like I've been given a 2nd chance at life. Great doctor, great drug, I do my part. It works."


"I started taking this two weeks ago today.  I am down 9lbs already. It is amazing how little I even think of food or eating in general. Even when I am at lunch/dinner with friends, I eat about half of my plate.  I exercise three days a week (two spin classes and one hot yoga class) and have been doing that for months. I have an underactive thyroid condition so maintaining and losing weight has always been a challenge for me. If I had a documented paper trail with my doctor about trying to lose weight (nutritionist/weight watchers etc) my insurance would have paid for this.  I took the $75 a month coupon from Belviq's website and pay out of pocket $159.00 for a 30 day supply, 2 pills a day. Starting weight 201, today I am at 192lbs."


"At first I ignored it because I assumed it was working and fighting the yeast but a minute or two after inserting the applicator filled with cream inside my vagina it started to burn. It was burning, stinging, and itching all at the same time very badly. My vagina felt like it was on fire. I wiped some of the product out of me, but it is still burning. I have used Monistat in the past, but I have never had this issue. Have they changed something in the formula?"


"absolutely loved this pill the first 5 months of taking it, light period, only 2-3 days. no cramps. Its very effective - pregnancy wise. but its been a year now. I haven't gotten my period since August 15 and it is now November 11th. Sure its nice but it is very unhealthy for the body. I am not pregnant if that's what you were thinking, the pill just doesn't give me periods. I have had terrible tension headaches all year, and all the sudden breaking out all in my T zone of the face. Blind pimples. & boils under my armpits. Along with nausea and drowsiness. I am 16 and don't wanna have to deal w all these side effects! not too mention the pill makes me feel sad and crazy sometimes. I definitely do not recommend it."


"I suffer from emetophobia-related panic attacks and anxiety, and this drug is just a godsend. I try to reserve it until I really need it as I know that, based on my personality, I could pretty easily become dependent. If it wasn't for the issues with dependency and withdrawal it would be a ten out of ten for me.
I will note that after I stopped using it semi-regularly, I became better at dealing with anxiety "on my own" so to speak, and experienced less anxiety overall as I improved my coping skills. Still, I'm really grateful for this medication and encourage other miserably anxious people out there to discuss it with their doctors. It really improved my life when I thought nothing could."


"Had Skyla inserted a year ago when I was 18 and remember the pain being awful . Bled for about 5 weeks after and still get a 5-7 day period every month with terrible cramps for a week before my period comes . In the past 6-7 months I've bled and had bad cramps after having sex . Don't recommend this as it seems there's many complications ."


"I was put on this for 4 months. A lot of the panic attacks went down but more stress was added. The side effects for me were easier bruising, nausea, fatigue, migraines and etc. It caused me to skip school a lot, and I got behind so it added more and more anxiety and was not worth it. I recommend no medication and therapy for social anxiety, and to help stomach aches and headaches us tiger balm and gin-gins (you can buy them at Whole foods stores"


"Wow, what can I say, this medicine has changed my life. My head was the worst, completely covered. Had to put oil on it and leave it on most of day or over night. My head would be stiff after 3 days with the build up. After one treatment it was completely gone. So happy now. Was thinking about going on disability but now don't have too."


"Its August 2016, I've had this bastard of a thing in since March 2015 and I'm finally getting it out in two days. Worst part is the weight gain and period. I am the lucky 50% who's period still exists heavier and longer and not only that...I have gained 25kgs in the last five months. Six months ago I was diagnosed with Graves disease which explains why I had lost 30kgs from   Dec2014 to Feb 2016 when i noticed symptoms. In saying that if I didn't have the bar, I would of lost more and five months on GP and specialist both agree that I'm experiencing the side effect of weight gain as my thyroid levels are still high so I shouldn't be gaining. Goodbye nothing for good Implanon! U suck!!!!!!!"


"I've had migraines my whole life and the week after I took this medication they stopped immediately. I used to get them 2-3 times a week, now never. "


"Before taking Paxil, I was on several different antidepressants which didn't work. At one point I had to be hospitalized, but since being on Paxil I am no longer depressed. Only side effect that I have experienced is dry mouth. It has been 17 years that I have been symptom free!"


"This medication has been a life saver for me. Even though I do have some very minor side effects, I wouldn't dare think of changing it!!!"


"I went on Nexplanon after a horrible experience with the pills. They made me nauseous, gave me headaches, and made me super hungry (I basically didn't feel like myself at all) I decided to go on Nexplanon and I am SO glad that I did! Its insertion was painless (only a little bit of soreness in the following days) I did have some mood swings for the first couple of weeks but now it is totally fine! I feel great and just like myself. I do notice that my periods are irregular and I discharge for a while after my period is over. If you are worried about going on Nexplanon because of the "horrible" side effects, I am here to tell you to go for it."


"I normally get headaches or migraines approx 4-5 times a week and have for many years. I have tried many different medications and nothing seemed to help or stop them. Finally I was given this pill and am taking 10mg per day. Since I have been on this medication I get 1-2 minor head aches in a month! Amazing!  Life changing! My nuerologist decided to up my pill to 20mg per day to see if it would completely get rid of them and since I started the 20mg my headaches and migraines have come back! I have now gone back to the 10mg per day and am hoping it will go back to the almost none existent headaches and migraines. So far so good. So be careful changing your dose otherwise such an amazing life changing pill for me! No side effects for me."


"was experiencing gout attack for over a month and was prescribed indomethacin 25 milligram capsules when all my other home remedies such as tart cherry juice, apple cider vinegar, baking soda and tumeric had not helped. I took one 25 milligram tablet 2 hours later I could feel the pain subside. Took another capsule and pain decreased more took one more capsule before bed and the next morning gout was gone. Thank God for indomethacin."


"Allergic reaction causing welts, severe itchy skin, and joint pain."


"I slather the entire pill w toothpaste right before I take it & it goes down like a gel pill."


"I have had Myasthenia Gravis for 6 years. After a serious crisis and use of high levels of Prednisone. In 2008 I was put on mycophenolate mofetil. It has helped me tremendously. Not totally free from M.G. but I am pretty good and think Mycophenolate is great. I am male 67 and am on 1.5 grams per day. It has changed my life for the good."


"This medication made me gain lots of weight and after being on it for about a year or so I suddenly stopped being able to breathe after taking it. So I was placed on a different medicine."


"Aspirin suits me best because I do not suffer from H-Pylori,otherwise,it may cause ulcers although Lansoprasol or Omepresol can prevent the stomach issues.
The reason that Aspirin is best is because it helps along with Vit C and Omega 3 to lubricate the joints which is essential for painless movement.
I sometimes inter-change with Ibuprofen which because it is coated lasts longer than Aspirin but I have no knowledge of Naproxen."


"I'm a 37-year-old female with one child and I've been without energy so I went to my Doctor and she gave me this prescription and  on my weigh in on March 4,2017 I was 312lbs and now at March 10, 2017 307lbs"


"When I was approximately 30 years of age, I had hayfever so bad that I was in the E.R. every other week. I couldn't do anything because I couldn't stop sneezing, breathing was difficult most of the time.  After moving to the country, my allergies became even worse.  I was taking allergy pills. I had tried them all, and even took an injection every two weeks but nothing would give me any relief.  I went to a new Doctor and was not even able to stop sneezing long enough to tell him my problem. He said, "I know exactly what you need", "I suffered with hayfever also and this will stop your suffering in a few days". He prescribed Vancenase Inhaler. This is a miracle drug. In three days I didn't sneeze.  "


"The side effects of this drug were terrible. I had severe diarrhea for two days, and persistent vomiting for three days now. I also experienced a fever that lasted for 12 hours. Haven't been able to keep any food down, and feel terrible. I honesty would rather have a yeast infection. If you plan on taking this medication I'd recommend taking over a weekend when you don't have anything going on, in case you get violently ill from it like I did."


"Life saver. Few side effects initially (increased depression and anxiety, decreased appetite, insomnia and agitation), no side effects long term. Push through those horrible first two weeks. At week three my depression was GONE, agitation completely gone, panic attacks gone. Some general anxiety, But that subsided after a couple of month. I was on this medication for a year, and got of it with little to no withdrawal symptoms.

I STRONGLY recommend starting as low as 12.5 mg for a week, then 25 for a week. Cut the 25 mg tablets in half. This eases those horrible initial side effects, especially anxiety and agitation.

Big hugs and high five to all of you anxiety/depression suffers out there. You can and you Will get better!"


"Absolutely amazing better than cialis
Best medicine suffer performance anxiety
Healthy young guy
Use it works amazing
Difference with cialis that last longer
However Viagra is instant and does not have the prolonged effect
Both excellent
Thank you to the scientists
For this excellent drug
Half a tab all is needed
Go for it don't hold back"


"Took for two months, 1 Capsule a day for my ADD. I have tried most ADHD medicines, stimulant and non- stimulant types. I was expecting a 'non event' transition, from adderall, to

Dexedrine predominant Vyvanse. I have used Dexedrine and found it helpful with focus and follow through issues, with minimal side effects. Vyvanse did not turn out to be what I'd hoped for. Minimal fuss, and a stable continuation of living and treating my ADD. Vyvanse

Had no similarities to Dexedrine . Felt sad, bad, and disconnected from being in the moment.

Side effects did not disappear during course of treatment. Somehow a perfectly acceptable

Drug ingredient, Dexedrine, became Lisdexamphetamine. The long acting formulation benefit is lost, to a imposter drug"


"I went on this pill so that I didn't have to have my period every month, but within the first 2 weeks I gained 10 pounds. I've been on it for 4 months now and for 2 months straight I was spotting every single day. I tried absolutely everything to lose the weight including dramatic changes and nothing has worked. I am now having a full period so I am going off the pill because it doesn't seem to be effective. My face did get better while on it, but nothing is worth the emotional unstableness and weight gain I am experiencing."


"It 10 months post Harvoni ,trust me when I say  I felt better when I had Hep C like 100% better taking my supplements minerals vitamin  herbs spices,,never once in 15 years did my viral load reach over 40,000 i felt fine to be honest ,,yes i said  40,000 ,nothing really for Gen type 1a, now 10 months post Harvoni  it's  over the top anxiety, real bad eye sight, itching 24'7, depression, vertigo, dizziness, head fog is constant as is insomnia. I feel like I'm going nuts ,There are plenty of sites on the net with folk in the same situation as me if not worse people are getting sick  taking this toxic stuff"


"Switched from Plavix because of gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) since Effient does not need conversion in the stomach. Regular antacids like Zantac did not control my GERD so I needed Proton Pump Inhibitor (Protonix) 2 times per day.
Switch was uneventful and my GERD is under control."


"Not everyone's experience with Lamotrigine is going to be the same, but I do want to say something about the negative reviews here. If Lamotrigine is severely impacting your memory or ability to function, call your doctor and ask them to lower your dose. If you feel like it started to help and then stopped, call your doctor and ask them to raise your dose. There is a 'sweet spot' that people talk about for Lamotrigine. You will know it when you hit it--it takes some trial and error, but please be patient--this is the most effective medication for Bipolar II and Atypical Depression that exists right now. This honestly saved my life."


"Works great for anxiety."


"I found this to be a wonderful muscle relaxant with very few, if any, negative side effects.  It worked well for me during many bouts of chronic back pain that kept me awake at night.

It did make me a little bit sleepy and dizzy, but nothing that bothered me very much at all.  At night, this wasn't even a concern, but I could easily take it during the day at work and perform and feel fine.

This isn't exactly a "pain" medication but I did find that it worked almost as well for my particular back pain as the narcotic medicines I was also prescribed."


"I've had cyclical vomiting syndrome for about a year and a half and was diagnosed about two months ago, as soon as I was diagnosed I was put on amitriptyline. The only side effect I have noticed is a bit of sleepiness, but not enough to really affect my life. Amitriptyline has given me back my quality of life and I've started uni and am looking for part time work, this would never have been possible before being on amitriptyline."


"I love this medicine cor bacterial vaginitis. It works well and I never have side effects. However, I almost always get a yeast infection afterwards so I have my doctor prescribe Diflucan as well."


"No issues with this birth control."


"I'm 18 years old, and have been taking Concerta now since my sophomore/junior year of high school. I was also taking Zoloft (for depression) along with my daily dosage of Concerta. Now that I'm in college, things have been going better for me, and I don't have to take the Zoloft anymore, and only take the Concerta when I feel like I really need to focus throughout the day. However, I've been noticing recently that while on the Concerta, I'm moody, tired, and unmotivated.  I also start thinking really negatively about myself, and find myself very irritable. I feel like I've taken several steps back, and should be taking the Zoloft in order to balance out my emotions."


"This medication is very sedating for me.  I cannot take so much as 1 mg during the day unless I want a nap.  I take 4 mg at night and get about 4 hours of deep sleep.  Then I wake up and the rest of the night is restless with very vivid dreams.  If I take more, I get leg/foot cramps.  When I tried to taper off of it, I got some intense jaw pain that I had never experienced before.  I believe it helps my daily headaches somewhat by working on muscle tension and jaw clenching at night, however I do believe there is some addictive property such that coming off of it can be difficult due to increased muscle tension.  The leg cramp side effect seems to be really rare, and not all people find it so sedating."


"I've been on my period for 3 weeks now and there are no signs of it stopping any time soon. Other than that I haven't had any problems with it."


"These injections are a God send for Clusterers.  The ONLY drawback that I experienced was the expense which forbids me from using them on a regular basis...but the tablets are a good substitute... just takes much longer to work.  The injections work almost instantly.."


"Only given short term while under section in a mental health ward, but in combination with Olanzapine bought me back from suicidal areas. The only issue I had with it was I felt I was getting dehydrated more than normal."


"I noticed that the relief from pain has diminished from 8 hrs, down to 6 hrs."


"My wife and I both started Qsymia  11 months ago and have both lost 65lbs ea. We have had no side effects other than minor tingling. We both support each other and eat normal foods just less of them. I am a diabetic and was using insulin and pills, I no longer use insulin and may be able to get off the pills soon.  Our Doctor sees us every 3 months to check on us. This medicine has been good for us. But you have to work at it, it's not magic."


"I got Nexplanon inserted after giving birth to my son and have had it for 3 months. Right away I had terrible headaches that lasted about a week. I got off my period the day before insertion and the day after insertion I started heavy bleeding again for 2 weeks, then spotting which lasted 4 weeks straight. Some days heavy enough to wear a light tampon & others light enough for just a pantyliner but it was nonstop. The spotting isn't so bad & has gotten lighter. I have lost all baby weight. I am slender & normally energetic with a big appetite but now I hardly eat & have no energy (possibly because I'm a new mom) but my worst symptom is that I am extremely moody! I am waiting 6 months before I take it out."


"I have only been on Hizentra one month so imagine it has not had time to work.  Within that month I have had 2 sinus infections (dealing with one now and feel awful).  I would like to know how long it took for people to start feeling better.  One doc says 5 infusions, and another says much longer.  However, I have had more energy in between the infections.  Your comments have been helpful."


"My son has tried everything for ADHD. Vyvanse wears off too quickly and Adderall XR made him moody. We tried the dissolvable tablet but he hated the gritty orange flavor. As a last resort to going back to Vyvanse, the pediatrician put him on the new long acting Dyanavel XR. It lasts all day which is great for all the middle school homework he has in the evenings. My favorite thing about Dyanavel is that he still has his appetite and is sleeping well. The copay card made it cheaper than a generic too!"


"I have been on it for 2 years now. The point of it is to not have babies. No babies here. Yes the 1st six months I would get headaches and was really moody. The only problem now is I spot for three weeks (somedays worse than others) but then no period/spotting for two months. But I will deal with it because doing it's overall job."


"All this has done was to make me fat, no change in crohns,
very sick, 70% of side affects, still suffering now with dehydration.
"


"Unlike the majority of people here fasting or eating lighter couple days before taking Suprep, I had a huge dinner consisting of pizza, kebabs, and some spaghetti. Not eating worried me so I ate a lot the night before when it came to drinking it, the next day at 6pm it wasn't as bad. The only thing was bad was the after taste, which I washed down with some coconut water. Took 15 minutes to work. first time was soft, watery stool and everything after that was just squirting the remainder of the water without any traces is stool. Hardest part was not eating!"


"I'm an active 21 year old who was looking for four periods a year. While I was warned about breakthrough bleeding and spotting between periods, I was not warned that it was possible to have nonstop periods. I'm on my first pack about to finish my last week and my period began after the first month of Seasonique. Plus I broke out more than I ever have on any other type of birth control (Nuvaring, Ortho Tri Cyclen). My doctor informed me she doesn't put young women on this pill. I wish my doctor at school was the same way."


"I am back on Lexapro after 2 years off. I commenced taking 20mg about 6 days ago and the side effects were quite severe for the first few days (No appetite, upset stomach, insomnia, fogginess, grinding, jittery, cold sweats and no sex drive). However, that has subsided a little and I am now feeling quite calm and much less toxic towards myself. I am actually feeling quite carefree for a change and things don't seem to be affecting me as they had been for too long...my head is giving me a holiday. It is great to know that they helped me before and I know that they are going to help me get through again."


"I have had Mirena for 3 months now.  Insertion was unbelievably painful (I threw up and had to lay on the table with my eyes closed, pants still off, for almost an hour before I could even consider standing up). I bled very lightly but continuously for the first month but have now resumed a more normal (though extremely light) cycle. I rarely had cramps before insertion however now I usually have 1 day of TERRIBLE cramps (which subside only with 800mg Advil). Other than that I have had zero weight gain (I've actually lost 5lbs), no acne (something I was worried about because I have sensitive skin) and only slight moodiness around the time of my cycle (I would get moody at this time before I had Mirena, also). Overall, a good experience."


"I have been on this medication for over 9 years and it works great for me. My periods are way lighter and the pain is much more manageable. It causes no mood swings or weight gain for me. Overall, works great and is very affordable; my insurance covers all of it, but even without insurance it's only $9/month."


"I've been plugged up literally for years and had found no relief until now. I had tried everything from frequently rinsing my sinuses with a neti pot system, to prescriptions such as Nasonex, warm/moist heating pads, other over the counter medicines, etc. At this moment I feel pretty great. I took my first Mucinex D tab yesterday late afternoon and my second one this morning. My nose feels completely clear, the pressure behind my eyes is gone, my head feels normal for once....even my ears feel less plugged and are not clicking and popping nearly as much as usual. I'm surprised I have not had the insomnia and jitters that it seems most others have experienced. No unpleasant side effects so far. I highly recommend this! The relief is worth the $$."


"I have suffered from ugly fungus in my toe nails for over 40 years along with dry feet with skin scaling off all over. I tried just about every off the the counter medication to no avail. Finally, I decided to visit a podiatrist who prescribed a 3 months of Terbinafine treatment. I tested my liver before the treatment and then three times during and after treatment. The test results were good and there was no effects by the drug on my liver. During the first 2 weeks of treatment, I noticed a significant improvement in my dry feet. The scaling stopped completely and to  my amazement, my feet looked healthy. The toe nails, however, took much longer to heal. Today, one year later my toe nails are completely clear and no signs of fungus period!"


"I was passing out from the sheer pain that radiated from my lower abdomen to my lower back and so on. I had quite the pain tolerance, yet this pain was like no other. Hot water bottles, home remedies, Motrin, nothing worked. When I spoke to my doctor, she recommended the pill but my mother was against this because of my age. After I turned 13, my doctor decided to prescribe me naproxen, 250 mg, take 2 at onset of cramps and then 1 pill every 6-8 hours as needed. It was magical, I mean within 10-20 minutes of me taking it, the pain went away. How? Naproxen is a NSAID, it reduces inflammation in the uterus. That simple. Highly recommend, but use carefully so as to not damage your liver. Seriously."


"After 5 days I feel good.  Thought I was going downhill.  Never knew allergies could effect your well being like that.  Thank you.  I feel great again at 70  years old."


"I've been on Nuvaring just over three months and I love it. Had a little weight gain at the beginning but that can happen with all birth controls. I only just had my first period on it and it was short, painless and no moodiness with it! Great! Also my sex drive has increased and both me and my husband don't feel it! No loss of ring or falling out! Wish I had heard about Nuvaring years ago!"


"I applied Duac on my face as instructed and after 2 days of using it, I noticed that my pimples started to disappear but the problem is my whole face got swollen, itchy and red. I can't even sleep and go to school for days. So what I did is I visited my doctor again and told me that those were the side effects of the product and told me to stop using it. To relieve the stinging and redness I used an ice pack on my face and put moisturizer non stop. Luckily, after a few days the swelling and redness disappeared. Thank God my acne disappeared and since then whenever pimples appear on my face, I just applied the gel directly on the pimples."


"Hydromet soothes my sore throat and I feel better within a day. The last two doctors only prescribed Benadryl syrup which does nothing and causes side effects."


"Well basically when I first used it, it was great only have tender breasts felt a little sick but it went away. Then all of a sudden I had these terrible mood swings. Felt really emotional. And I've been that exhausted, I've had to take naps during the day. So yeah not that good for me."


"Lyrica seems to help with the pain, but it also has an effect of making my hands shake"


"I've had acne for 10 years and this is the only thing that has worked. I've been on a few other prescription medications and they didn't have the same results. My skin does get dry but I just use a non-comodegenic moisturizer (Cetaphil) and it helps immensely. My skin is clear and it feels smooth. Don't let the other reviews about redness and irritation scare you off. You should just reduce your usage to every other day instead of every day and it still works. Also the claims that it causes more acne is unlikely since it has TWO acne-killing medicines in it. If you use it correctly and how it best fits your needs, I promise you won't be let down."


"I have taken 250mg daily of Nuvigil for two years now. Without/before it I couldn't think straight, I dropped stuff, couldn't perform the simplest daily functions. Nuvigil has given me my life back! I couldn't drive for a year, I can now. My narcolepsy is pretty bad and if I miss one day of the Nuvigil I can't function. By the afternoon I can't stay awake or hold on to anything. The other medicine I was on didn't even compare to Nuvigil!"


"Took Millipred for 2 months for an inflammed liver. The pills have a nasty after taste unlike the liquid form. Caused me to wake up several times per night. Not sure if that contributed to my irritability. It also caused dizziness. You should be careful if taking it with sleep aids."


"I got my Nexplanon in after my 1st son was born. Never had a problem with it. Didn't gain weight, didn't get a period for the whole 3 years I was on it. Now that my second son was born Jan 2015, I got it again in March 2015. Once again I loved it. Not a period in sight yet. This is the best for me because I don't have to remember to take a pill every day. No Oops babies here."
