"I've only been taking this birth control for about 4 days, which yes, I know is little, but I don't think I can stand another day! I feel nauseous on it and threw up a few times and I slept until 1:30pm today (so I had about 13 hours of sleep, if not more, and I would've kept sleeping if my brother didn't wake me up) I still feel exhausted and can barely walk around without wanting to sit. Hopefully you won't get this experience but I really don't think I can continue on this pill, waiting it out is not worth it for me."


"I had Supartz shots two years ago with great success.  I just had two of three of Orthovisc and so far my knees feel great. I hope Orthvisc lasts as long as Supartz.  I would highly recommend both products"


"Been on Zoloft for years and have never looked back. Although, one doctor reduced my dosage and had to up it again, after several weeks. Absolutely no side effects, unless you can call being cheerful, a bad thing!"


"I had been on several medicines like Ambien and Lunesta. All of a sudden I needed a pill to sleep! Not only that but I was a walking zombie the next day. Mood swings were bad. My family became concerened. I switched to Silenor, not as potent but it did the trick."


"This is the only birth control I've ever took and I just started it at the beginning of the month. I don't know if its supposed to get better but I've been so emotional and I've been gaining weight, about 10 pounds in less than a month and I work out and eat healthy I feel bloated and I want to stop taking this. Would not recommend.  My acne hasn't even cleared its gotten worse"


"I've been taking this BC for 3 months now and just had my gyno switch brands today. I have be incredibly irritable, anxious, and depressed. I feel like I'm PMS'ing 24/7. I've also experienced some pretty painful menstrual cramping. I do not recommend this brand at all."


"I started with my Saxenda 0.6 injection for the first two (2) weeks and had no side affects at all. Prior to deciding to taking Saxenda, I had did quite amount of research to find out about Physicians in the St, Louis area. the success and side effects. The blogs all talked about the nausea and constipation that was horrible. This was a big delay for me making a decision to try the drug. My obesity is a health factor and can potentially become life  threatening so I weighed the pros and cons and decided that i would try anyway to see if I could weather the side affects. After the first two (2) weeks of injections and NO SIDE AFFECTS, I return to the doctor for a follow-up appointment to find that I had lost 14.5 pounds.  Try it for yourself"


"My 11 year old son was given Keppra due to a dual concussion that lead to seizures in 4/2010. He hated the way it made him feel.  His neurologist put him on extended release Keppra which cause him to loose 30 pounds within a 3 month span.  He was rushed to the hospital due to high sugar - 564 dl.  In ICU, he was given Keppra at night, during his sleep,  his heart rate would slow down to 50 and set off the heart monitors all night. The cardiologist said there was nothing wrong with his heart after running numerous test.  The medication compromised his system, caused Type 1 diabetes and triggered irregular heart beats.  I weened him off Keppra against doctors wishes 10/2010.  He has had no seizures since, but still has Type I, he is 17 yrs ."


"Yesterday I received my IUD. Before the IUD was placed I was given by my doctor pain pills. I experienced a little cramping and slight headache. 2nd day in and I feel amazing. IM glad I made this decision and I do recommend it."


"I have spinal stenosis in 2 levels of my lumbar spine and 3 bulging/protruding discs. I could hardly sit or walk for months. I was hoping for surgery just to ease the pain. I couldn't drive for longer than 15 minutes, couldn't exercise like I used to, could hardly work. My doctor put me on Cymbalta 2 weeks ago and within 10 days, almost all my pain is gone! I still have some numbness in my lower leg and foot but I am no longer taking Percocet and am weaning off the morphine for night time! Cymbalta gave me back my life! I hope it continues! Thank you for this wonderful medicine!"


"Can't stop laughing when taking this. This medicine makes me very giddy and I guess in a huge way that keeps me from breaking down and crying. I would not recommend taking this if you're working. I can't do any serious work when I'm taking this medication. I'm in the mood to put on some pj's and watch Spongebob."


"Very good medicine for chronic pain conditions. It can be habit forming and addictive but the pain relief is worth it."


"I am 51 year old on my 2nd Implanon device; the first one replaced at 3 years as recommended.  I did gain some weight, but it's more a water retention thing.  I used to have very painful periods, which is why my GYN recommended it.  I'm one of the lucky ones.  Have not had any periods in 5 years, (spotted a bit the first month only) and plan to continue to use the Implanon until I'm completely menopausal (still perimenopausal).  The only reason I can't give it a 10 is whenever my blood pressure is taken in the left arm, the implant site "pinches", solved by having BP taken on the other arm, but I was told I shouldn't be able to notice it.  Cost a bit up front (even with insurance), but saved on prescription co-pays for 3 years so still cost effective."


"Maybe shouldn't have been writing a review at this point. 1st day taking Chantix, took 1st pill about 2 hours ago, no nausea experienced, positive reaction, I hope. Praying the rest of the journey is as positive as my first pill. Thanks for all the positive  input from Chantix users, it made my mission to quit smoking even more certain. Will keep informed!!!"


"Had cold sores all my life... got my first breakout at age 15 and it was terrifying I had no idea what they were. Used everything and tried everything and nothing worked! It was hell. In January I went to the dermatologist and he saw that I had cold sores so he prescribed me valtrex. It's life changing, and what I love most is I actually see a change within the first day or second day. It stops the swelling and stops the cold sores from growing... it's amazing. Call your doctor and ask him for some valtrex!"


"I am 4 weeks in to taking 25mg of Seroquel and I noticed the difference almost straight away.  I can think so much better because my anxiety is reduced enough for me to think in straight lines again.  I am no where near as paranoid and a bit less dissociative too which is all really good.  I was also prescribed Cymbalta for depression but have just ditched that because I was too fearless and suicidal on it.  Whilst Seroquel is not touching my depression, I noticed that after taking it I felt that I gained a degree of self-control back which helped me to start to use basic life skills that I have learnt, which help me to deal with some of the BPD approaches to life's problems.  Seriously, I find Seroquel even at the low dose to be excellent."


"I've been on Lexapro for about a month and a half now (10/mg). I have not had any differences with my depression or anxiety. In fact my anxiety is still bad. It also makes me crave food that I'm not a huge fan of. Very confusing."


"I have taken Adipex now for the second day.  I feel great and just for fun I decided to weigh myself and I lost 4 pounds the first day.  Granted all I did was pee, this was probably because of all the water I drank.  But, I stayed on my food plan and am doing great.  This pill is a great motivator for me."


"I have been addicted to Percocet, Lortab, Morphine IR, and Oxycodone for almost 6 years since a horrible accident. I was so fed up with feeling like shit every 15 days after I ran out of my medicines. I couldn't wait to make another excuse to my pain doctor to get more pills. On Monday (1/12/09) I was done. Live or die? I chose to live. I went to my doctor and told them that I wanted to change - NOW! They referred me to a specialist in addiction. I was given 8mg of Suboxone immediately upon arrival (I was in SEVERE withdrawal). One hour later, I felt ALIVE again. I don't mean high, I mean alive! NO WITHDRAWALS! COMPLETELY GONE! NO CRAVINGS!- NOTHING. I have lost EVERYTHING but now I have my life. Suboxone is a miracle!"


"I took this for serious cramps. I loved the pill because it made my boobs bigger. I gained weight but eventually it went down after the course of 3 months.  My skin cleared up for about a month then all of a sudden I've been breaking out for frequently. This did NOT help with my cramps at all, in fact it probably made it worse. My period used to be very heavy (had to use super plus tampons) but when taking the pill I needed the regular tampon for about 3 days. I also only got my period once in the course of the 3 months."


"I tried several other medicines, but Lotrel seems to be very effective in lowering my blood pressure.  I have a had no side effects. I am 49 years old and Africian American.  On this medicine 10 months now."


"This medicine works for me.  It takes about 3 weeks to really see a difference, but I was able to take it even when pregnant and breastfeeding and it helped me to feel better and sleep and eat good for my baby.  Very glad there is treatment for people who have this problem.  "


"I'm a happy person and never had depression or anxiety in all my life until I got on this BC. I started getting sad, then the sadness started to feel like depression... almost debilitating... then anxiety started to kick in. I thought maybe I should give it a little more time because my body was adjusting, but the last straw was 7 months into taking it, I started getting suicidal and PSYCHOTIC thoughts at a family party!! I was freaking out and it felt like I had voices in my head! I have a friend who loves this BC, but unfortunately it did not work for me :(. BC is really a trial and error and different for everyone. This is the only BC that has made me CRAZYYYY! I had a better experience with Nuva Ring  and Lomedia 24Fe."


"Had a YI for about a week, through my period. Couldn't stand it anymore.  Went and bout M1 because I'd tried M3 recently.  Inserted and followed all direction... Then read reviews about 2 hours into it. I started to freak out about the burning and itching, but after two hours not much I could do!  Is now been 6 hours and I feel GREAT!  No burning, no itching!  Product worked AWESOME for me!"


"I've been on this medication two times now.
Both times it's helped lower my blood pressure. I was able to come off of it for about 2 years when I got my blood pressure under control and was keeping it that way, but recently my blood pressure has went back up so my Dr put me back on this medication. My prescription is for the generic brand. I have used both the name brand and generic and I couldn't tell any difference..only price was different. I've had no side effects from this medication, it's worked very well. I would recommend it."


"Wake up people. Google Nexium deaths for a real eye opener. I admit I took Nexium too long, over a year. The bad side effects came along gradually, and worsened as time went on. That is the only daily pharmaceutical drug I took. I did take vitamins frequently. First, pressure to go to the bathroom was noticed. I was checked for a UTI which was negative. I developed screaming migraine headaches which at 64 I had never had. When acute mouth dryness occurred, I thought I was diabetic for sure. I developed both dull pain in the kidney areas, and an aching under the shoulder blades. Bowel movements were slow, and difficult. I developed puffy spots under the eyes, and several doctors told me it was allergies which was frustrating. It was Nexium."


"At 10 - 25 weeks my nausea never let up. When I say nausea, I actually mean vomiting. Every other day I knew my meals were not going to end well. I expected this during the 1st trimester, but upon approaching my 3rd trimester I knew something had to give. I don't expect any drug to work tremendously during the first trimester.  Since nausea/vomiting is supposed to "return" during the 3rd trimester I decided to try this as baby is now more developed. It worked wonderfully; I have been on it for one week and can now eat with confidence! I still have some mild, although less, heartburn; This is the only reason I rated 9/10. It would truly be a miracle drug if it could get rid of the heartburn I developed during pregnancy too!"


"The medicine works. But of course the after taste is the worst. It leaves a horrible taste on your tongue that alters the taste of everything you eat. I also felt sick at times. Nausea, and stomach ache. Though it was because I was consuming with my iron pills but even when I stopped that for awhile it still remained. But over all it works. Just have to get over the after taste and nausea. And water doesn't necessarily help."


"After living with horrible PMS symptoms for over 2 years, a doctor diagnosed me with PMDD. I had 3 weeks of pure hell and 1 week (my period) of feeling semi-normal. The mood swings were so intense, I felt like it wasn't me. I could feel myself getting emotional but I could not stop it. It was like I was outside looking back at myself. Extreme highs and extreme lows. I was violent and unstable.

After about a month of being on the meds (25mg) I felt more normal than I had in 2 years. They really saved me. 6 months in (1pill a day) I am back to being myself.

Side effects I have had: decreased sexual desire, dry mouth, some bouts of mild depression, dry mouth, nausea.

I'm very happy with the medication."


"I've had severe psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis for over 35 years.  I have been on everything to treat psoriasis and or the rheumatoid NOTHING really helped. Nothing ever cleared my skin. Started Taltz January 2017 within a month I had completely clear skin and had less pain and  stiffness with the rheumatoid.  July 2017 I had a flare with the rheumatoid Dr. took me off Taltz, put me on actemra. It's been a disaster! Psoriasis is back! It's so bad that it's unbearable and there's no improvement with the rheumatoid, it's getting worse! Saw my Dr. last week literally begged to go back on Taltz, Dr agreed I'm counting the days until I start Taltz again,  I'll NEVER go off it again. I can not wait to have clear skin again.  Taltz is AWESOME!"


"I can't stand this medication. My ob prescribed 500mg for two days and it makes me violently sick. I've eaten with the medication and have not consumed any alcohol but I've been throwing up bile for the past 6 hours. This happened to me last time , I took this medication again and I regret it."


"I love this drug.  A previous horrible experience with Cipro (severe diarrhea, dizziness, lethargy, extreme weight loss, and an inability to digest any of my normal foods for about 2 years) left me really afraid of the consequences of taking antibiotics again.  I went in to the dr refusing to take Cipro again.  He gave me nitrofurantoin.  I had NO side effects.  NO stomach upset. NO problems whatsoever.  I just felt better within a day.  I will say that I did need to take a second 7 day course to fully rid me of the infection, but it was so easy that I did not really care.  If I need this drug again, I will ask for a longer course next time. And it is CHEAP."


"After using for about 1 week, having increased SOB and rash. Reaction to inhaler anaphylactic shock and angioedema, intubated now requiring long term care"


"Norco has been extremely useful in helping relieve my lower back pain. Now my doctor is switching me to Ultram though so we'll see how they compare in effectiveness."


"I am 30 yrs old, I had a mild heart attack in the first week of May 2012 had 95% blockage. Had stent put in taking 75 mgs of Plavix and aspirin regimen. I bruise really easy but no side effects I know of yet."


"I have been on Citalopram (Celexa) for almost 3 days now and I been having side effects already. I was originally prescribed 20mg but after the first day my Doctor switched me to 10mg because of nausea and not hungry at all (which is weird for me), having diarrhea and I felt "off". It's hard to explain the feeling. I felt like myself but just weird. Now on my 3rd day of the antidepressant, I forget simple little things and I feel extremely tired. I'm going to talk to my Doctor tomorrow. "


"I Said If I got through this I would write a review to ease people's minds(I'm a guy) The girl I had sex with vagina felt good. I was wondering why? Never feels like this. Turns out I was going Raw because the condom broke but I didn't know until I came COMPLETLEY inside her . We start to freak. Get plan b in like 2 hours . She had no side effects she told me and didn't get prego . Your gonna freak until you get that okay that she got her period so I'm not gonna tell you to not think about it but it worked for me even though I nutted in her and still kept going . Hope it works for you guys"


"I started Belviq 10mg 2x daily yesterday ( May 14th 2016) I have battled my weight since my hysterectomy three years ago. I was 177 last month now I am back at 181. I will check in weekly to update my progress. I am very optimistic about Belviq. I did start a new eating habit of 1200 calories a day , I have found this way easier than counting carbs. I use an app on my phone it keeps up with everything. I am very tired and felt very dizzy yesterday but today is much better. I take vyvanse for my ADD so this may help even out the fatigue."


"I've been taking this pill since grade 10 (so I've been on the medication for 4 yrs now) and I haven't experienced any bad side effects. But in my opinion, it didn't fully help me recover. Even over a year I've taken it, I would still get thoughts of suicide or hurting myself, either if it's physically or emotionally. But since last summer when I've told my youth worker about what's been going over in my life and she suggested I go to my psychologist and see if he'll up my dose or use a different medication or using therapy. I've went from 20 to 30 mg and I've been doing a lot better in my college tests and exams."


"I am on  Solodyn for 5 month now and my first 3 months was bad and the 4th month got better but I developed a minor itch on my leg and I  ask the doctor about it , guess was one of the drug side effects, Also feeling  nausea or loopy is what I get some time too!
But my back is so much better now and no acne or inflamed blackheads slowly clearing up! But worry about liver damage : ("


"At 42 years old I noticed a definite increase in anxiety and in certain social situations, I felt like I "had to get out of there".  Especially with my church work which I dearly loved, playing piano, teaching Bible Class, etc.  Panic attacks ruled my life.  It got worse.  I couldn't take long car trips (60 miles), buy groceries.  Finally I couldn't leave the house and I was having one panic attack upon another every 15 min. I was a capable person, well educated (Masters Degree), and did well at most things I tried.  My husband took me to our family Doctor who promptly put me on Clonazepam 2 mg.  I was relieved immediately and 23 yrs later am greatful for this miracle I take daily for panic attacks."


"I hated lexapro I tried it twice with 20mg and had to stop taking it, Every time I took it I threw up a lot, I felt horrible I felt like a zombie, I also had mild hallucinations that were not fun and rapid heartbeat it was just awful."


"I've been on Victoza for about 18 months.  My doctor suggested it initially to help me with weight loss while supporting my Type II Diabetes.  My glucose is now well within normal range.  In fact, my doctor suggested I might want to consider stopping the medicine for a few months, and then retest my A1C level.  However, as soon as I stopped, I started eating too much again.  As I'm still trying to lose weight, I immediately went back on the Victoza and will try again in January when, hopefully, I will have lost a few more pounds.  No regrets on this medicine (except the high price). "


"Basically, Vicodin worked very very well for me when I got the two right wisdom teeth pulled. HOWEVER, when I got the left two pulled about a year later, and was on Vicodin, the pain was still so horrid that I couldn't sleep and it was all I could do, not to cry."


"Dr suggested for heavy periods and almost anaemic.  One month no bleed but then the bleed started and has now been two months of on/off light to heavy with minor to major clotting. Had ultrasound and have two fibroids.  Tummy upset, cramping, fatigue and loads of money spent on liners, tampons and pads.  As I took this for heavy bleeding and low iron levels, it has done nothing but cause trouble.  Seeing a Gyno today for info on surgery as a permanent solution... but then I am 47 and blessed with children.  BIG RISKS to consider if you are deciding on this horrible shot!"


"I have taken medication for five days. My start weight was 219. And I am 5'9" age 46. This morning I weighed 214. So far I am pleased with my results. No major side effects. Drink a lot of H2O and eat smaller portions and stay active. Good luck to you all!   6/28/15"


"It relieves all my pain and I sleep easy."


"This drug works well at killing warts, but it's best to start with the tiniest amount to check how your body responds to it, and then ramp it up if you don't get a strong response.

I didn't follow the boilerplate "3 times a week" usage guidance because this was too slow for me. I used it every day and amply, until after about 1 week when the 'blistering' effect started to kick in, then I backed off.

The negative reviews from people who got bad reactions are missing the point a little. The whole idea of the drug is to ramp up an immune response in the area you apply it. The red blistering/rash/swelling etc is precisely what you want: this is the immune system doing its work."


"Started on Meloxicam 15mg and it did nothing. Was in so much pain in my knees that i called my Dr. and he prescribed Diclofenac sodium DM 75 mg twice a day. I have been on this med for 5 days now. It helped with the pain, but I don't know if I can deal with the side effects of muscle aches, irritability, weakness, fatigue,stomach issues.  It is seeming like the side effects are winning. I can not continue to take this medication. I will be contacting my Dr. and giving him the details and will need to try something else, does anyone have any suggestions on a different medication?"


"Rapid improvement in red areas on neck, chest and elbows."


"I went to the ER and was told I had Diverticulitis..I stayed in the hospital for 3 days...I started taking Cipro and Flagyl. Only side effect is diarrhea, hard to manage when you work fulltime...Medication does work...On meds for 1 week."


"I have been on this pill for 4 months. The first month my period was normal (for me - quite heavy), the second month my period was very light, and ever since I have not had a period.
I still notice bloating and slight weight gain before my period, but no other side effects. Although the pill itself is quite expensive, it is worth it because I no longer have to buy hygiene products since I don't have a period."


"been on this pill for almost a month, however I started my period two weeks early but I'll chalk that up to always being irregular and my hormones trying to balance. Don't really have a complaint except night nausea. Literally as soon as the sun goes down I'm sick to my stomach like no other. Gunna just tough it out since my insurance doesn't want to cover anything else. Anyone have ideas about what to do to help with the nausea?"


"I was in agony for weeks and barely able to walk.  Absolutely nothing stopped my sciatica pain, and I tried everything.  Within one hour of taking Zipsor the pain was gone.  I don't know what's in it, but it literally saved my life.  Thank you for your wonderful product."


"Well I've been having severe anxiety attacks. Certain Noises, arguments, and even scary scenes in movies would bring these on. I started taking Buspirone about 3 days ago. I have had some side effects such as fatigue, headaches, and belly aches but I have noticed my anxiety level has lowered SO much! I don't really feel nervous, or have worried thoughts. So I am thankful for that. My doctor told me that it would take about 2-3 weeks to get into my system and for my body to recognize it. So I have hope! I will let you guys know how it goes!"


"I noticed after the second day of taking Cefdinir 300 mg, I started to experience bad headaches. My sore throat feels better, but my head aches everyday. So, now that I know what is making my head hurt so bad I am discontinuing the use of this medication. I had no issues with Amoxicillin, I will ask if he can change my meds over."


"I started Jolessa when I started my period, and now, SEVEN WEEKS later, I have not stopped my period. We're not talking spotting here, this is a constant thing. It's made me irritable, and my bra size has gone from 32DD to a 32I, and needless to say, this is not a good thing in my case. I'm stopping it today. It just isn't worth it."


"I have been taking  this medicine for 22 years. I have Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a very bad spine. I had a Doctor give me Tizanidine and it put me in the ICU. I almost died!
After I got home and back on some solid food I took my two 750mg 3 times a day like I always did and they have been great for me. But the Fed. Gov. and DEA want to put their nose in sick peoples business and try to take all the things away that work for sick people. I really think they want us to die and get it over with.
This medicine my not be for some but we all have a different body."


"I have been on Keppra for 10 months. After 45 years on Dilantin my liver was being poisoned. Dilantin worked as far as controlling seizures. Keppra has worked so far but I have insomnia and no appetite."


"Tramadol is the only good pain relief for me."


"This was awful! I got my first shot at UVA two days after my first baby was born. They pushed it in me and didn't mention any side effects. Stopped bleeding (from giving birth) three weeks later. After about a week it started again and hasn't stopped. I got a second shot because they told me that can happen from my body getting used to the hormones. But I never went back for my third. Over six months later, I'm still bleeding, almost a month after I should've gone in for a third shot. I don't know what to do. It's exhausting. I'm constantly tired, moody and depressed and I want to eat everything in sight! I wouldn't recommend this method of birth control for anyone!"


"After reading a lot of bad reviews I was hesitant to use macrobid as a treatment for a pretty severe bladder infection. However, I didn't experience many of the side effects that I read about. Although it did make me rather fatigued, I made sure to drink lots of water and took my pills with a nice healthy meal! I also took my 100mg pills twice a day at the exact same time as to get my body on a routine. Almost 3 days off of it and feeling back to 100%! Would have no problem using this antibiotic again!"


"After reading pros and cons about Paragard vs Mirena I opted to go with Paragard because of the fact that it does not contain any hormones. I was nervous about periods and cramping but I can honestly say that my periods - have had two now - have been just about normal (maybe a bit heavier but nothing like described). I have had some cramping but nothing major. I have not gained weight. If anything I'm not as bloated as I was on birth control pills. I have no mood swings. When on the pill I was extremely irritable. I could feel it but had no control over it. I have nothing like that with Paragard and actually feel normal again. My sex drive has increased. My husband actually said the other day that he would like to do a testimony."


"My wife used this, initially higher dose and then 1 mg for life, works wonderful till she stop using it and  she relapsed. Now she is on another medication, very popular but not for everyone. Will ask Dr. to consider putting her back to stelazine. Yes I do not know why stelazine is not popular now, with a low dose the side effect is almost negligible and the person can resume almost normal life as compared to the side effect of the newer and popular drug."


"I found that it did control my BP to an acceptable level but it did nothing for my anxiety or tremors. The tremors did stop after a round of amoxicillin antibiotics but have since returned  with yet another infection."


"I am an ex-heroin user for over ten long years. After many trips to jail... trying to get sober cold turkey, relapsed over and over. I tried methadone for a couple years weaned off and relapsed again. After losing my mother and having a daughter of my own and another trip to detox I finally found Suboxone. Now clean for 2 and half years I'm coming off slowly. It's scary because I'm so used to being "on" something but its honestly worked the best for me. I would refer Suboxone to anyone ready to get their life back. Thanks Suboxone.. 2 and half years sober and counting."


"I've been on Meloxicam twice.  The first time was 15 mg.  It helped the pain but I had a lot of problems with water retention and I gained 15 lbs.  I went off the med because of the side effects.  It took 2 months but I lost the 15 lbs.  My new doctor put me back on it but at 7.5 mg.  I am again going off it because of significant water retention and I have gained the 15 lbs back.  To me, the swelling of my hands and feet from water retention and the weight gain are not worth the benefits for my arthritis.  I'll stick with Aleve."


"I've had severe headaches/migraines about twice a month since I was about seven years old. As an adult, my headaches were brutal: 36 hours of feeling like I'd been shot in the left eye, and NOTHING helped.  I always had low-to-normal blood pressure until it jumped up post-menopause despite my being thin, active, a non-smoker, etc. The hypertension meds I tried either made my headaches worse or made me so tired I could barely get out of bed. Lisinopril also made me tired, but to a degree that I figured I could live with. A few months later, I realized I hadn't had a headache since I'd started taking it. Fifteen months later I am still migraine-free. Unbelievable!"


"I have had Implanon for about two months now. I know I havent had it long so things could change. So far I love the fact that its so easy, I dont have to remember to take the pill. It doesnt seem to change my eating habits yet. I did start my period and at first it was regular but now its been about two weeks where its I like it."


"Crushed and bulged discs in cervical region, but I refuse to have spinal fusion due to mixed results and incredibly invasive surgery. Was on 3-30 mg Oxycontins with 4 x 10 mgs oxycodone. I can't take anything with NSAID's in it because I had Hepatitis C, which is gone after 11 months of interferon and another medicine. The oxy combo was working fine until suddenly it became impossible to get the scripts filled. Pain management doctor switched me to 2-30mg ER's a day and three Opana 10 mg IR's a day and I have no side effects, works great."


"It is very effective. Makes you go to sleep fast and feel relaxed the next morning."


"I had Implanon inserted in July of '09.  I didn't have a period at all until Mother Nature showed up...ON NEW YEAR'S!  Not the way I wanted to start 2010.  I have gained 10-15 pounds since getting Implanon and have acne, mood swings, and I have bad moments where I don't even recognize myself. I don't like being moody. It's tearing my boyfriend and I apart."


"I started off on 10mg per day, which was able to make my depression much better. After about a week I started to feel 'numb', not in a good way. I had no emotions at all and hadn't helped my anxiety even a little. 20mg was much worse and made me feel the worst I have ever felt. After weaning off that, I was prescribed 100mg of Wellbutrin SR, and after only a few days I'm feeling much happier and have much more motivation with no side effects."


"The first 2 month on Nexplanon was a breeze I thought this was the life no side effects at all. By month 3 I was spotting every few days, it started out light for a couple days for a few months but then it became heavy and lasted atleast 5 days. I would be spot free for a few days then bleeding again. I went to my doctor to get a high dose of ibuprofen and that made me stop spotting for 2 weeks & then BLEEDING again. The doctor said that the spotting would go away by the 6th month & I tried to stick it out & that was a HUGE mistake. I also had depression, NAUSEA,& dizziness. I got it removed last week & they had to slice open my arm & dig it out nothing like the quick shot to get it."


"Thanks for sharing about the hair loss after several months on the medication.  I had the same experience.  I thought it was helping me with water retention and joint aches but I got carpal tunnel syndrome and had significant hair loss, and I coming to realize it may be from Jolivette.  "


"Tenex works great for my daughter in the spectrum. She had some attention issues and over time we were just losing her. I started giving her half a mg in the morning. The meds helped but she started going downhill in the PM. So I decided to give her a quarter of cup of coffee with milk and tenex in the morning. Things are looking much better. She started eating with us now on the same table which she was never able to do before. She has better days at school and she started playing with her sisters. I like it and yes I do recommend it."


"This medicine works extremely well, however, the next morning had a massive "hangover". I have a horrible headache and feel like my head weighs a ton."


"I was having migraines for 3 years almost daily in summer! Horrible, lived on Imitrex and xanax. My neurologist suggested Botox . First round after the injections I had discomfort really burning in back below my neck. I kept putting heat on it and it was gone in 3 weeks. I also did not like the side effect of my eyebrows going up from botox! My husband said I looked like I was shocked all the time or sometimes a devil! Maybe 1 mild migraine after that! Day I was due for 2nd round I had an excruciating headache before botox shots. Dr went ahead with botox and by days end migraine was gone! This was 2 weeks ago and not 1 migraine. I also asked him not to inject above my eyebrows so he injected in between eyes. Doing wonderful!!!"


"This medication did what it was suppose to do, but
the side affects are terrible.   If I had been told that
these problems I live with now were a remote possibility,
I would not have agreed to take this medication.  I've
taken it for more then 5 years, I've changed my Family
Dr. and now have two Neurologists that seem confused
that this Medication was ever prescribed to Me.  I've stopped
taking it on my own, I hope that the damage to my central
nervous system can heal."


"I have just done 8 weeks & I'm on a 24 week course. I'm 54, My Enzymes have come down to 51 & the other 19. I'm having monthly bloods done & my liver function is normal now. I had slight pain under my ribs probably 8 times over a 3 week period but has gone now maybe my liver adapting to the change. Mild headaches, dizzy. I was on Interferon & Ribavirin but relapsed I'm hoping this works."


"I had hit rock bottom and I finally went to someone who knew what they were talking about. They put me on Topamax and I am fine now thanks to my doctor. Thank you to everyone who cared enough to pay attention to my well-being."


"Dulera works pretty well, do not need to use my rescue inhaler as often, but the one main downside is that it continuously causes me to have sinuitis which then causes a migraine.  I have always had bad problems with my sinuses, so am definately reconsidering continuing using this product."


"Absolutely recommended if your body does not like SSRIs.

This medicine has helped me AMAZINGLY--before taking it, I was experiencing ridiculous mood swings going between anxious and having panic attacks to depressed and crying. This medicine has given me my life back. I am no longer trapped in the hole of depression and my anxiety, while still present, has gone from being this massive panic to contained, manageable, and approachable anxiety.

Bupropion (Wellbutrin) is a stimulant, and because of this, it does make you feel stimulated. I've noticed some muscle weakness, but that's it. I switched to xl and I'm not sure how I like it yet--it seems like the releases are kind of random. Take early if you can so you can sleep! :)"


"I had three surgeries in 3 weeks and oxy really kept the pain under control. I have since run out and the Dr. doesn't want to refill so I'm now suffering along with only Tylenol. :)"


"I have been using the NuvaRing for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love this birth control. It is so incredibly convenient as I was always very forgetful with the pill. I started taking birth control when I was 15 because I had the WORST period ever. My periods prior to the NuvaRing would consist of extreme pain to the point I would miss school and constant bleeding that would last up to 2 weeks. With the NuvaRing I rarely EVER get any pain my periods are very light and only last 3-5 days and my fianc"


"I got my tonsils removed and so I have to take it and it makes my body feel tingly, and dizzy but that's also because I take it on an empty stomach since I cannot eat much, it also helps to put you to sleep and sleep through the pain"


"I have a previous traumatic stroke 5 years ago. I have been maintained with blood thinners and 1mg ativan. Recently last month my anxiety and panic attacks are at all time high. They are daily and debilitating.. I fear of dying but have had numerous ER trips and Dr visits that always come back very healthy.. I have only been on celexa for 3 days.  Are anyone out there with similar background and positive experiences with this drug.
Thanks"


"I had a strong desire to drive off of the road even with other people in the car.  Otherwise this worked well but the desire increased the longer I was on it."


"Prozac helped a lot with my depression and anxiety. It helped me be more calm... The only things I don't really like is the loss of appetite and recently I have been drowsy. I sometimes feel jittery. I've been taking it for less than a month but have seen a difference."

"This medicine has helped me a number of times. I frequently get urinary tract infections and this makes me capable to work and do pretty much anything other than lay in pain. My only problem is that I wish there was a way to know when it's wearing off. Sometimes it lasts longer than others."


"This BC was great for the first pack then I started bleeding non stop heavy. Bleeding stopped as soon as I quit taking it!! Never again!!!"


"I had spotting for about 2-3 months, and my breast were ridiculously tender and hurt. But after that I had no more spotting and haven't had a period since. I also have not gained any weight (actually lost 10 lbs). Have occasional acne but nothing severe or long lasting. Overall worth it to me. However spotting in he beginning."


"I am a 30 year old, active/fit woman who has had sweating issues for as long as I can remember. Highly embarrassing. Been taking this for about 3 weeks now and it has changed my life in a profound way. I never knew that I could be warm without buckets of sweat. I don't know that I've appreciated what cold feels like until now either because I've always been so tuned into the fact that I was wet with sweat - like just come from the shower wet. Only side effects are very dry mouth/nose. I've had a bloody nose a couple times since starting. Worth the trade"


"I was on it for 6 months with few side effects (vaginal discharge and itchiness, mild nausea and the occasional dizzy spell. Also, after sex the semen would just sort of leak out.) But those were mild issues compared to the mood changes that started in month 7. I noticed that little things would bother me and I was angry a lot. I was thinking it couldn't be the birth control because I have been on it for 6 months but I tried taking it out anyway and sure enough after a day, I feel happy again! No more anger. It was effective for preventing pregnancy %100. So talk to your doctor and see which BC works for you. Everyone is different so it may not cause any mood changes or side effects for you."


"After suffering from RLS for over 30 years and trying numerous medications to include Quinine Sulfate this WORKS. Loss of sleep has diminished as well as the attitude to go along with it. I can't believe that after all the Doctors I saw this one diagnosed it without me telling him. I was sitting in the office and my legs were jumping, that afternoon I tried the Mirapex and presto problem solved. No side effects I know of, dose is 0.5 mg 2x per day, some days not needed. What a relief."


"I used this for my dermatitis. It made it much worse and felt like an acid burn. I continued to use it thinking that my dermatitis would get worse before better. Another spot appeared of the dermatitis. I called my derm and asked for another option. I’m taking a pill (can’t recall the name). It’s clearing it up. Thank gosh."


"I have 6 bad discs with degenerative bone and disc disease. I have been on Morphine Sulfate for over 5 years. I started on Methadone then went to Oxy's while the morphine still helps, the the dosage 30mg x 3 daily plus Norco 10/325 along with muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory medicines. I live a much more productive live. The morphine is awesome!"


"I am a recovered IV heroin user. I have tried many other treatment options, and the only one that worked is Subutex. I have been on it for about 5 years now and have very slowly decreased my dosage from 16mg daily (2 pills) down to a very small fraction of 1 pill (probably only 1mg daily). So, I will soon be free from this medicine as well.

I highly recommend this option to anybody that wants to quit using opiates. As the posters have said, you actually have to want to stop using, and create a strong desire within yourself to get clean, and keep a positive attitude and belief in yourself that you can do this, even if you have failed before. Be strong and you will get through the very mild bad part, which is only for a week or two."


"I found out I have genital herpes about 5 years ago. I had a violent outbreak, it was HORRIBLE. I read about vitamins I could take to help with HSV and lysine had the best reviews. So I started taking 2 1000mg tabs daily. I didn't have an out break again until like a month ago. And it just so happens I ran out of lysine, and just didn't buy anymore about 2 weeks before I had my 2nd outbreak. So I live by this stuff."


"I absolutely love my Skyla. Insertion was pretty uncomfortable, but was completely bearable. I spotted on and off for the first few months, which was annoying, but not a deal breaker. Finally after about 6 months my periods have levelled out and are regular again. I get very minimal cramping a few days before, and a light flow that lasts about 6 days. I have had no other negative side effects and I LOVE not having to remember a pill every day! Plus, every other birth control I've tried has given me horrible moods swings, horribly tender breasts, and acne. I haven't experienced any of those with Skyla. I would highly recommend this and have already sung it praises to all my friends."


"I smoked for over 45 years and have tried everything!  Cold turkey, Nicorette gum, the patch, and  hypnosis, to name a few.  My husband badgered me for years, I knew I always smelled like cigarette smoke.  I had to wash my hair everyday so the smell wouldn't linger.  Every time we went somewhere, my first thought was where and when would be able to grab a smoke.  It scared me to think I wouldn't be able to.  Like many people I felt a cigarette was a friend--it calmed me down when I was flustered, feeling anxious, scared, depressed--there wasn't an emotion that did not require a cigarette.  I used Chantx--success!  Thank you!  Non-smoker for 7 years."

"Was unable to stand erect without pain and experienced constant tissue pain. After being on it for two months was essentially pain free and could stand erect."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I'm on day 3 of these medicines, the first 2 days my energy levels were very high and clarity in my whole body seemed to be back after months of feeling crappy h pylori test was positive so as stated above I'm taking this medicine SIDE EFFECTS: on day 3 I took the medicine around 6 am and took a nap at 9 am I woke up with a taste of medicine in my mouth, (the taste where your first attempt to swallow a pill and it doesn't work so you get that nasty pill taste" I think this has something to do with falling asleep like my body isn't in awake mode so it pumps the medicine in a sleep cycle style I'm just assuming here but besides the nasty taste no other side affects at the moment eating a banana seemed to help with the taste"


"I choose Nuvaring because if I went in the pill I would never take it because I am very forgetful plus I've heard horror stories about other birth control. Anyways I've been on the Nuva ring for about 4 months now and I do the 4 week cycle so I don't get periods. I noticed I have a little spotting around the 3rd week of having it in. I'm very moody with this birth control and my libido is ALL THE WAY DOWN. I also get headaches here and there those have to be my only side affect with it. My husband isnt a fan of it because he says he can feel it during intercourse. It has taken a toll on our marriage due to my low sex drive not sure if it's related to the product but after reading a few reviews I'm guessing it is. Considering changing."


"I've tried them all--Adderall, Ritalin, Focalin, etc. Nuvigil is somewhat effective, but I find I can only use it when I'm working alone. Too much people interaction is tough. It lasts so long, which can be good, but sometimes not. Even if I take it at 5:30 a.m., I feel like I can't drink even a 1/2 glass of wine in the evening. Also, sometimes I feel very dizzy in the afternoon when I'm on the drug. I'm only taking 40 mg."


"From reading the other reviews, when it's good it's very very good and when it's bad it's horrid. Unfortunately my experience was horrid. After two days, couldn't get more than 10 ft from the toilet. That lasted for 2 weeks. "


"Been suffering asthma for a year now I don't have great insurance or money to go. But after trying a couple doses I was breathing normal"


"I've been using nortriptyline for over 10 years now and my migraine hasn't caused me severe pains anymore. I noticed that if I ever stop taking the medication, I started getting headaches again. I wanted to stop this medicine because of water retention and weight gain, but this is the only medicine so far that can help me with my migraine headache, and also with my back pain after a spinal surgery. The pros outweigh the cons of taking this medication so I continue to use it up to now."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I took this prep to the T. And did not do the job. The two ducolax I took the evening before had more of an effect on me than this prep.
I am miserable right now because I have two more days of agony, thanks prepopik"


"I began taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo when I was 13, I am now 22. I was not sexually active at the time, but my periods were extremely irregular. This specific oral contraceptive helped to regulate my period and it has been perfect for the past 9 years. When reading these reviews, ladies must keep in mind that everyone is different. Genetics plays a huge role in whether you get/ have bad acne, cramping, low sex drive, etc. It may not be because of the pill, necessarily. In my 9 year experience with this particular product, I have never had a scare when I took the pill as directed. You will have a few of those symptoms, its just life. "


"Worked well at first. Now I get 200 plus readings when I wake up."


"My medications for depression worked fairly well but did not relieve the chronic fatigue, aches, and brain fog. Provigil has been a life changer for me. I feel alert, can concentrate, and have plenty of energy. I don't take it every day as I find it becomes less effective over time, so I take it "as needed". I've experienced no side effects at all - even less jitters than caffeine. The cost can be prohibitive and my insurance company just dropped it from their formulary so I have to depend on samples from my psychiatrist."


"I suffered with terrible, suicidal depression and post traumatic stress disorder. I cannot believe how much better I feel on this medicine."


"I changed my diet about 6 months ago and just recently (the last month or so) have been experiencing constipation. Before this it had been very few and far between.  Roughly every 3-4 days is when I would have a BM, not comfortable at all.  I finally caved after having horrible bloating and pain at work today.  I went to the drug store and picked up a bottle of MOM.  I took 2 tbsp about 7pm.  I didn't have any discomfort or gas but I couldn't sleep very well either. Finally about 1am, the blockage is gone and I'm so much more comfortable.  I didn't experience any cramping and the beginning was still somewhat difficult to pass, it was soft but very bulky still.  I don't feel any further urges to go to the toilet but it's only been 20 minutes."


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


"I've had uncontrolled hypertension for 10  years.  My last visit to the doctor before being given 10mg of Bystolic with 40 milligrams of lisinopril and 25mg of hydrochlorothiziade, my blood pressure was 208/110 with a pulse of 120.  My reading this afternoon, 4 months later, is 112/56 with a pulse of 84.  NO side effects like I had with Tenormin a few years back."


"Vivid nightmares vivid daytime hallucinations usually concerning my spouse and other women"


"At the beginning of take this medication I didn't notice any bad side effects until a few weeks after I began taking it. I would get heavy periods throughout the entire month, bad cramps, weight gain like crazy, and it's making my hair fall out. Also my mood swings have been all over the place. I would eat like I'm pregnant and be tired all the time. I haven't had any breast growth or pain, but my acne is horrible. I'm not pregnant so the pill worked there, but I'm going to stop taking it."


"I just started my 3rd week of active pills yesterday and so far so good. Before Aviane, I was on the Depo shot for a little over 2 years and I had so many problems and was miserable. So far, I've had nothing serious. A little bit of breast tenderness, few cramps. My sex drive has definitely increased from what it used to be. I take my pill at night but haven't really had an nausea. Going on my 3rd week, I sort of feel like PMS symptoms but it could also be stress. Hard to tell. Overall, I'm happy with this pill."


"It made me very tired all the time. I was still having panic attacks and got diarrhea with it. It did not work for me. Time to try something else."


"If you haven't taken Estarylla before, I'd recommend giving it a try. I've had pretty much no negative side effects other than a mild nausea after the first few pills in a new pack, and it's helped a lot with my acne. My periods are also significantly shorter and less severe than they were with no medication/other birth control. Looking at other reviews, this definitely doesn't work well for some people, but its been really effective for me."


"This is the best birth control I've ever been on! I was put on the pill when I was 14 because I bled for around 15 days a month. Not fun. The pill didn't really help, I always had a lot of breakthrough bleeding, acne and migraines. After 9 years of trying different "types" of birth control pills (monophasic, biphasic, triphasic, high dose, low dose, Yaz, you name it, I was on it!), Implanon, and Paragard and no success, my doctor said that I could try the patch but otherwise she didn't know what to tell me. It worked! I have normal periods, no acne or headaches, and I'm so happy! My only complaint is sometimes the patch is kind of itchy, but it depends on where you put it. A great bet for people who've had problems with other kinds of birth control!"


"I am a 45 year old male and was never diagnosed with ADD or ADHD.  However, I have nearly every symptom and have suffered the consequences of this problem my entire life.  In short, Adderall changed my life.  I have never liked taking any medication but the increase in the quality of my life is worth any side effect I may incur down the road."


"I am really pleased with the pain relief I get from Subsys (400mcg 3xday).  The only bad experience I've had was a surprise withdrawal episode.  I take the Subsys like clockwork and seldom am late with a dose.  The only explanation I could come up with for the surprise withdrawal was a new habit I started of eating a piece of chocolate candy immediately after spraying a dose of the Subsys under my tongue.  Apparently, the medication was not being absorbed in my system.  I have sinced stopped that practice and hopefully won't have any more 'surprise' withdrawal episodes."


"I have horrible allergies and get frequent sinus and ear infections. Have been on Z pack, Amoxicillin & Biaxin. Augmentin is the only thing that clears it up. Minimal side effects (some mild nausea) and fast acting."


"I have a bulging disc on my L5 that is pinching my sciatic nerve. Arthrotec started working right away. I only take one a day. No side effects yet."


"I have been on Losartan 25mg for about 3 months now for slightly high bp, 155/93 or thereabouts. I am a 62 yo female who was working full time. The drug works fine for me, no dizziness or nausea. However, I have began to notice some joint pain in my right elbow and left wrist which may or may not be related to the drug. It's just that I didn't have it before. I did have a but with left side back ache for 3 days that I thought was kidney, but there were no other symptoms of kidney issues so just hit water bottled it and it went away. No issues other than the sore joints. Not taking any other meds so no interactions."


"I am 21 and got Mirena in September of last year. The first day was uncomfortable, it felt like really bed menses cramps, but since then I haven't even felt it. It did take a bit of getting used to on my husband's part, but now it's no problem. I'm lazy and have problems taking a pill every day, so I'm very happy with how carefree Mirena is. I haven't gained any weight (in fact I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight) my periods are significantly lighter! I still spot for a day or two every couple months, which I can live with. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MIRENA! I know all women are different, but I would totally recommend this!"


"I have been on Vimpat for four years and have been seizure free since starting it.

I do get a little dopey an hour after I take it; however, it's not to the degree that it interferes with work or driving. The side effects lessen the longer I've been on it.

I'm in NC, and my insurance does cover all but a $50 copay.

This medicine is a life saver. I've tried Keppra, Topamax, Lamictal, and Depakote with no success.  My doctor does yearly Vimpat blood level labs to make sure I keep at a therapeutic level and also screens vitamin D and B12 levels every six months since they can be affected by Vimpat.

Good luck on your journey."


"I was given Meloxicam by my podiatrist when he discovered a foot neuroma. After taking it a week or two I noticed all my Osteoarthritis areas had stopped hurting as well. Hands, knees legs. I felt totally pain free. A few weeks later I skipped taking it accidently a few days and all pain returned. I am now back on it for life and its so inexpensive."


"Jan 1 I told myself I have to start making healthier food decisions I started working out 30 mins each day and eating healthier. Got on the scale after a week and didn't drop any weight. I had an upcoming apt1/11/17 and told my dr what was going on. She suggested pherntermine 37.5mg. I started taking phentermine 1/12/17 my morning weight was 181.2. Today is 1/14/17 and my morning weight is 177.6 . I felt a little jittery the first day I noticed when I ate right after it was not as bad . I do have cotton mouth all day which I feel is a great side effect because it makes me drink lots of water . I have a 24 oz cup and I have been filling it up at least 5/6x daily .goal weight is 150. I will post on 1/20/17."


"Been on it for 16  years now.   Was on 100mg daily but change of lifestyle and reduced this to 50mg about 15 years ago.  About a year ago I weaned myself off the medication (over a period of 3 months) but bipolar began to manifest itself to a point that I resumed the 50mg dosage.   I am not aware of any side effects of my medication, but do appreciate the overall feeling of well-being and contentment that was not there during my recent trial of not taking medication."


"Been on oxy, roxy, morphine, etc., all for 19 years. Subutex works to help quit."


"Just a little back story for you I am on low-dose Suboxone for opiate addiction that I had throughout most of my twenties (I'm 30 years old now  ; I also have anxiety) . For the past 6 months my .50 milligrams of Suboxone has helped me be clean and sober without any Cravings whatsoever !!   On day 4 of taking Buspar,  I started drug seeking Behavior . Literally was a wreck.  I was told that this would not have any interactions , that was clearly not the case with me . Please use with caution if you're an addict. It was literally a nightmare =("


"Gained weight, felt depressed, worst experience of my adult life with birth control.
28yr healthy vegan -5'8 143lbs
Two weeks on Gildess -160
Horrible nightmare. It's been two months and I've lost 5 lbs."


"Can't say enough bad about this medication. Aside from the really severe, dangerous side effects like blood clots, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Severe anxiety, constant bloating and constipation, hemorrhoids, insomnia, etc. I was prescribed xanax after the first month to use so I might be able to sleep and just try get through the day and see if I could make it past the three month mark. Second month was also hell. The anxiety was better because I was hyped on sedatives but my digestive system was a wreck. By the time I got to the doctor she told me to stop using the medication immediately. Already doing significantly better. I can eat and I'm not terrified all the time."


"I have been an alcoholic for over 15 years. Every time I've tried to quit I ended up having a seizure. I've had over 20 that I can even recall! But I've been sober for 11 days and the librium saved me! Once I started feeling nauseous I took two librium and felt better!!! I'm telling you from personal experience, do NOT try to detox without medication! If you want to try to get sober I would recommend Librium over anything else!!!"


"I've been on probably at least 20 different forms of birth control for one reason or another, usually due to painful cramps and heavy flow.  I've noticed in the almost 2 years of taking it, my period is down to 2 days that I get 4 times a year.  I get severely depressed for one day, the day I go off of them to get my period, and my cramps are not as bad as they usually were. They are now about a 6 on a 1-10 scale when they had been a 12 in the past.  Overall, pretty pleased with it.  I have gained about 10 lbs over 2 years but like most women have said, it's water retention.  I have a very healthy libido and haven't had any spotting."


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


"I am a new user and just had my follow up appointment to make sure the Mirena was in place.

I am a 28 year old woman with no children. I wanted to try something different. My doctor and I discussed my options and I wasn't thrilled about remembering the pill everyday so I wanted to try Mirena next.

I went in for insertion on the 4th day of my period. I was surprised at how much pressure/cramping I felt during insertion. I actually moved back on the table. It was tolerable, but not pleasant at all.

After insertion I felt crampy for about an hour, and then mild cramping for the next 3 days, but now I feel great. No issues after sex, no bleeding or pain. It's hard to say I'd recommend as I'm too new, but it's definitely worth a try!"


"I have recently started using the medicine about a week ago. I have seen the most amazing results. The only down side about it is it causes my allergies to flare causing me to have headaches and the worst chapped lips ever! Other than that no complaints at this time."


"My doctor told me that the key to mucinex working effectively is to take it with a full 8 oz of water and then keep drinking water throughout the day. The water is what helps thin it out. If I don't drink plenty of water with it it doesn't work. When I do it often works all day and night. I take it early in the day because it does keep me awake. I hope this helps, good luck & I hope you feel better.
* use a humidifier too, the moisture in the air keeps you from drying out."


"Insertion not painful at all!! Literally one second of discomfort. I've just had my period/spotting the past month and am hoping that goes away. Def recommend. IUD's are so the move with birth control I wouldn't do anything else"


"I have been on the Nuvaring for almost a year now.  I have had no negative side effects except for lowered sex drive and moderate dryness during intercourse.  This has not changed at all, which makes me want to change to something else that is a low dose contraceptive.  Prior to getting on the ring, I had moderate acne, and after a month of being on this, it cleared the acne up completely.  I have had no weight gain, spotting, skin discolorations, nausea, or any other common side affect while I have been on this.  So far it has been very effective in preventing pregnancy."


"I have been on the meds for a week I have success so far and no side effects accept for a little dry mouth which is good because it gets you to drink more water. It has suppressed my appetite to help me limit my portion control."


"I was on Cymbalta for 2 years and found it to be a wonderful relief of pain and anxiety.  The problem I had with it was "brain zaps" and dizziness if I made any sudden movement with my head.  I weaned myself off of it slowly and am now back to suffering with pain and anxiety but I do not wish to take Cymbalta again due to the strange brain effect it has.  Getting off of it was extremely difficult and luckily I was between jobs or I could not have made it to work during that withdrawal period.  Extreme "brain zaps" were the worst thing to get rid of. "


"I was diagnosed with H1N1 on 9 Jan 2017. I was prescribed Tamiflu that same day. Within a day I felt 80% better.  I am glad I went to the DR withinh 48 hours of initial symptoms.  Today I have 3 pills left to take but I feel 100% better. I did not have any bad side effects. Take it with a meal or a large glass of milk."


"My 13 year old son, and 9 year old daughter both have been diagnosed with ADHD. I, nor my husband could wrap our minds around our kids taking medicine, but were forced to give it a try. My son started taking Concerta when he was in 4th grade, and my daughter started taking Vyvanse in the 3rd grade.The results were amazing! Their handwriting went from sloppy to super neat, reading skills increased, grades were mostly A's...and many more great results! The bad part about the pills are that they have SO many side effects that were making them seem like totally different people! They were skinny, depressed, had Insomnia, headaches, twitching, and angry. We withdrew both from public school and started Homeschool. Now learning at our own pace!"


"I love it. I've been on it since July 2014 since then I've lost 17lbs down from 240 to 223 yes I'm loving it. Only downside is the thick needle but I deal with it. My A1c levels are perfect ....it's working for me."


"I was on Nora Be for 2.5 years. Previously had taken combination pill, then was off BC for a while. Started Nora Be to alleviate my heavy painful periods. At first I was pleased because it helped the physical side effects of my cycle. But I noticed less and less regular periods (expected) with tons of other physical symptoms. Weight gain, acne, anxiousness, depression, fatigue, and BLOATING. I was so bloated all the time. I would have these horrible emotional PMS symptoms for like 3 weeks, spot for 2-3 days, normal for a week, and then back to the horrible symptoms. I just couldn't deal with it anymore - it was affecting every area of my life. On the plus side, I didn't get pregnant.

I stopped taking it 6 months ago and feel great."


"I have been taking this for almost a year. I was in the hospital over the week end. They thought I had a stroke. The doctor checked my scripts and told me my high blood pressure and a lot of my other symptoms were caused by this drug. I  have been off it for 2 days now and really feel a LOT better. This medication was a mirical pill that worked great but the side effects are too much for me. I ended up with almost all of them."


"I have dealt with PMS for years. I finally found a doctor willing to listen and try to help. After discussing symptoms with her I was diagnosed with PMDD and put on Zoloft. In a matter of days I felt better than I have in years. It does tend to make me sleepy so I take it at night. Having a proper diagnosis and treatment saved my marriage, my job and my relationships with others."


"Had to stop smoking due to cost and a friend gave me these after she failed to stop. The lozenges weren't melting in 20 to 30 minutes in my mouth. More like 3 to 5 hours. I don't know why that is, but I'm not complaining. The medicine wasn't expired or anything. I'm at week 2  2 days and I haven't cheated. Still have slight urges now and then, but the lozenges do help curb that urge. Since my friend only had so much Commit left, I am going tomorrow to buy a new box. I recommend it. Side effects were low for me. Good luck all."


"My 20 y.o daughter was diagnosed with ADHD last year and has been on methylphenidate since January 2014.  The dosages have varied and she is able to take them as needed.  Her concentration and grades have improved tremendously.  The first side effects were loss of appetite and headaches.  The headaches went away after a couple of weeks and her appetite has returned somewhat.  However, over the past 5 months she has developed palpitations.  Her cardiologist, her psych Doc and primary care Doc are all monitoring this. I'm not sure where this will end up."


"I have tried every form of birth control, with the exception of an IUD, and I find this pill to be the most successful one by far. It took my body just two months to properly adjust to the timing of the active pills. I've been on this now going on 5 months and I couldn't be happier. My period lasts between 2-4 days, my cramps are very light, I do not get any negative side effects like some people have mentioned, I get less acne during my ovulation period and my headaches have gone away. My bf and I have unprotected sex around 3 times a day and so far so good! I can't say that everyone will benefit the same as I have, but if there were a BC that I could recommend to anyone, it would be this one."


"I'm 13 years old, and my doctor prescribed it to me a couple weeks ago, but I'm already seeing a difference! I do have bad stomach aches in the mornings, though, but my scars have faded also. Love it!"


"Hey y'all, I said I would do a rate if everything turned out in my favor to help nervous girls and it did!!! On Oct 30th at around 2am I had drunken sex with some guy I barely knew (stupid, I know). While we were getting it on, the condom slipped off and I've never been so scared in my life about pre-cum since he didn't ejaculate in me or the condom. I took the pill at around 2pm (12 hours) the same day and didnt experience any side effects until the 3rd day where I got serious cramps, sore breasts, and nausea. I was so scared that I could have been pregnant since my period was supposed to come on the 4th. Fast forward to the to the 8th and I got my period!!! Never been so happy to see blood in my life!"


"This gave me severe anxiety and panic attacks. I thought it would go away but its 16 days on this and getting worse"


"I've suffered from chronic anxiety for my whole adult life.  I haven't slept eight hours straight in probably ten years.  I had convinced myself that I was one of those people that didn't need much sleep until my mood began to change for the worst over the past few years.  I finally saw a doctor about it.  She initially prescribed Elavil which did nothing for me.  She then switched me to Trazodone which has changed my life.  My mood has completely changed.  I am more friendly and outgoing now and I feel like I have a new lease on life.  If you have insomnia and nothing seems to work, you owe it to yourself to try this medicine."


"I started naltrexone Dec. of 2014. I started noticing improvement after about 4 weeks. I no longer had hot flashes. Then my pain started to get less and shorter periods of flare ups. Then longer periods of feeling much better and even days of feeling good and not constantly fatigued. This lasted until about 6 weeks ago. I started having hot flashes again and a really bad flare up that has gone on for a month. I'm so disappointed and am now backing off naltrexone so that I can once again take something for the pain."


"I was prescribed this medication for use on several areas of my body that are ravaged by osteoarthritis. I have had great results, when used regularly this gel works. It is a fast acting medication, so you can apply it and get on with activities right away.

The cost of the medicine is high, but if you have tried products such as aspercreme, biofreeze or joint flex. You will see that the cost and relief you get are directly related. I have and will continue to recommend this medicine to anyone who needs relief from osteoarthritis. Thanks for the help NOVARTIS."


"I'm starting my last row of pills tomorrow (the placebos) and I still have a period. I have been bleeding for 3 weeks straight and I'm going into the 4th. My doctor said that it could take 3 months...if I still have a period on my 2nd pack, I'm leaving this brand. This is ridiculous."


"In 2012 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia after hearing voices talking to me day and night and couldn't sleep. I went on invega  and then Risperidone but they both made me feel like a zombie because I had to be on the highest dose. I had akathisia and I was restless and tired at the same time and just wanted to sleep all day but physically couldn't  and very depressed. I would hear voices every night when it would wear off. I had intrusive thoughts also. My doctor suggested trying 250mg Clozapine but I was scared. It is a miracle drug! The outside voices went away and the thoughts that weren't my own! I have no side effects and I am happier now! After a year you only have to get your blood drawn once a month. Worth it to have my life back!"


"It doesn't work for sudden acute pain at all...too slow"


"Generic brand doesn't not work for me at all. I couldn't sleep woke up several times at night. And then when to get up for work had a pounding headache. However The name brand work great how much more expensive."


"I was on Heroin for 9 years and Suboxone for the last 2 years.  I tapered and tapered until this last weekend, I detoxed off completely. It wasn't that bad; I slept through it with some anxiety medicines.  I don't feel fabulous but I feel okay. Suboxone is a lifesaving medication. Take your time everyone, let your body get used to lower and lower amounts, and the detox will be so manageable."


"Dr gave me a sample to see if it would relieve my ibs-c. Although I couldn't afford the prescription, I was very impressed with how well linzess worked in my case. I didn't realize how much of a storm was going on in my gut until this drug calmed it, amazing! I am definitely going to check out the coupon options."


"Had this inserted after my son was born. Chose it because there were no hormones involved. The procedure itself was very simple. It didnt hurt. Felt like a pinch and thats it. I wore it for a year, didn't get pregnant. So I guess it did what it was supposed to do. But my periods were horrible. I used to have the easiest periods. After putting paraguard, periods went on for upto 10 days. Pads would be super soaked and I was afraid to put on tampons.  After a year, the thread came off. Thats when I decided to get rid of it.  I won't wear it again, or recommend it. But then again, if you dont like it, you can always take it out (setting aside all the severe complications)"


"Well I had unprotected sex and an hour later I took the plan b pill, I looked at reviews online of women saying they got pregnant even after they took plan b, but they also didn't mention how long after their incident they took it which was probably not soon enough. Plan b worked for me I got my period 2 weeks and a day early and I can't be more happy. I do recommend taking plan b the day of the incident or even the day after but I felt better by taking it the day of! The best way is to not have unprotected sex stops you from wondering and worrying! Hope I was helpful!"


"Had a severe nervous breakdown in 1998, I was a policeman and totally lost the plot. Whilst anti-depressants eventually took the depression away, I was left with chronic anxiety, so after therapy my doctor recommended this drug at 0.5 mg morning & evening. Before my mind was racing, but this drug stopped me in my tracks, it wasn't a nice first two weeks, I felt like a zombie, but after this time I suddenly woke up one morning and the World was a beautiful place again. No more severe panic attacks, no more dreaded thoughts, just peace in my life. As I say, the first two weeks were unpleasant but so glad I stuck it out. A little weight gain, variable bowel movements, and one other thing, don't overdo it with alcohol, not nice."


"Took 20mg Friday 4:30pm.  Now 8:00am Sunday still able to easily get rock hard erection like when I was 18.  Girlfriend says is best drug ever made.  Hahhaha.  Expensive, but worth it.."


"I got in inserted in the middle of March 2016 & got it taken out November 2016. I didn't get periods at first , and if I did they were very light , then 4 months later I got the worst periods I've ever had, usually before the birth control I could help my back pain & cramps with IB,  IB didn't even help AT ALL when I got on birth control. May is when I realized I started gaining a lot of weight. My eating habits didn't change , neither did me working out. I kept gaining & gaining. By the time I got it taken out I weighed 135 pounds . I weighed 118 before I got it in! I also got super depressed & anxious and no one believed the birth control was doing it. Seriously I felt 100 times better when I got it out! & I already lost 7 pounds having it out"


"I am allergic to caffeine and spicy foods that give me all kind urinary infections. However, just one Cipro pill makes the pain just disappear! I have no known side effect from Cipro. Cipro is simple awesome!"


"I started on Accuntane on 2nd March and I'm now coming up to finishing my treatment with only 3 weeks left. I genuinely can't express enough how effective Accutane is. My acne was moderate and rather than lesions, etc. I had lots of small spots all over my chin and forehead and beginning to reach out to my cheeks. I went on Duac then oxytetracycline and enthromycin, none of them worked for me! I saw results from Accutane in the first month! My skin did get dry and my lips chapped and flaked badly but if you keep applying E45 and Burts Bees it will keep the flakiness at bay! Honestly I am thankful to Accutane for my new found confidence and I now happily leave the house with no make-up!"


"I was very skeptical about Nexplanon. I had it inserted because I was taking anti-depressants and did not want to have any risk of pregnancy with Condoms. My major doubt was regarding mood swings and depression with Nexplanon but after getting it inserted I did not have any of these issues. I had a slight gain in inches specially in breast size but I am free of periods now and no cramping. I do observe brown colored spotting during my period time but nothing other that. My experience is good so far and its been an year for me having Nexplanon."


"This is the most effective medicine I've ever been on for not only the psychosis, but for the depressive symptoms too. The only slight problem I have is that it seems to wear off the week before I get my next shot, but that's and easy fix by getting the injections closer to around every three weeks instead of every four."


"I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder (comorbid to my ADHD) back in 2012, and had since been to CBT and was prescribed with multiple antidepressants for it since. However both these medications (Strattera & Zoloft) caused chronic fatigue that led me to stop the medication.

Enter Celexa, prescribed end of 2016, I was at the time suffering from the regular hypochondria and other obsessions. I was apprehensive of the expected side effects but I am glad to report that to this day side effects are minimal. Yes, I have noticed a small difference in my working memory (decrease) and dreams (very vivid), but I believe the pros greatly outweigh the cons! Celexa has helped me feel normal again and empowered me, and would recommend 100%"


"I am on my second Implanon. I find I rarely have periods for the first 1.5 years (bliss), and after that light bleeding seems to be occurring every fortnight which was annoying. However, 1.5 years perfectly fine and after the first one, at about 2 years I had it replaced and all was fine again. I put on no weight (if anything I find I am probably fitter while on it but that's just lifestyle). I did put on weight on Depo the one time I tried it. It doesn't react badly with everyone - I was back in the gym within the week doing light arm stuff until the bruising went away with no ill effects. Issues with this could be doctor problems not implant problems!! I have loved it. No more forgetting to take the pill and being worried"


"Very good treatment option it was my first SSRI and I was taking it for Anxiety and other stress I couldn't handle, as well as some therapy and coping mechanisms this medicine is great. I take 10 mg and even that is enough to get rid of anxiety however it does make you lose your sex drive and can make you completely lose Interest in any sexual activity, but all in out its a good treatment."


"I've gotten this twice , and should know better and wrap it up! But sometimes it just don't happen. The first time I got it , I let it go for too long and was given the long drawn out script, no Bueno! It did take care of it then and was glad. Now this time I knew right away what the it was so set up an appointment for planned parenthood for the following day. Went in told the doctor ( whom I had seen previously ) the signs and symptoms , so she didn't have to check out Mr. Wang thank god. But she gave me the four pill dose and suggested I eat a little first and half way through take the meds and finish eating. I did that and had a wee bit of a upset stomach, but nothing severe and no diarrhea really. So all and all thank you azyth!!"


"I've had Kyleena for about 10 days, and I can't say enough good things! My insertion experience was much less painful than I expected (I'm 30 y/o, no kids). I took 550 mg of naproxen an hour before insertion, and I only had two sharp cramps, both of which only lasted a few seconds. I had some moderate cramping that evening, and otherwise it's been great! I'm expecting my first period with it in the next day or so, and I'm having more cramping than usual, but I understand that's pretty normal for your first period with an IUD. Don't let nerves dissuade you from getting one!"


"I started taking Deplin yesterday and recently tapered myself off of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin.  I still have the Cymbalta withdrawal "brain zaps" but have regained my crying reflex that I lose everytime I get back on medication. I have been pregnant several times and needed to come off all medications for the duration.  Today I had more natural energy than I've had in a long time.  I had been taking Hydroxycut just to get myself moving and to the gym as I had reached my maximum weight of 188 last week.  Now I don't feel like I need it anymore.  My OCD is almost non-existent now.  I can complete multiple tasks without spending an eternity detailing every aspect of a small task.  This is how I feel after day 2, hopeful this will continue."


"Hello I'm 21 years of age I've had combination moderate acne since I was 13 years old, every cosmetic face wash or doctor prescriptions like antibiotics all never worked but in fact made it worse. I then got told about Yaz so I decided to give it a shot, 2 months in now and my face is more clearer than its ever been in my life! but just have a couple pimples left on my neck which should disappear... I haven't even been eating healthy either have had lots of chocolate and maccas the last few weeks which is a bonus lol but I would still recommend to drink lots of water and excercise at least 30mins every second day at the very least. I've also stopped using face washes and moisturisers all together. Hope this helps "


"I was on this medication for about 3 year for depression/anxiety.  During the time I took this medication it completely numbed any emotion that a normal person would get.  About six months ago I decided that I was ready to discontinue my use of this medication and slowly reduced my doses.  Coming down from this was extremely difficult and painful.  I would have the craziest/scariest dreams, intense night sweats, severe headaches, uncontrollable body shaking and muscle twitching, some nausea/vomiting, but the worst of all the side effects was when my heart would race so fast it felt like it was going to break out of my chest, and my heart would feel like it was skipping beats, and each time that happened I would get an intense head rush."


"This lax is horrible but it gets the job done. I was constipated for 5 days. Took 2 tablets and about 9 hours later I wake up with an awful cramping. I go to the toilet and end up puking and pooping at the same time. Be prepared for a lot of pain."


"Started taking four months ago and boy has it been a ride. Although I have no cramping anymore and my periods are only three days max there's lots of things I don't like. First, mood swings are out of control. I get mad and cry over the craziest things.(never like that before) I always feel super bloated, headaches all the time, and I'm always tired. Also I got super bad acne on my face never had any of these problems before the pill. It does its job though, haven't got pregnant while having unprotected sex. So I guess you can take your chances since every body is different!"


"I am 35, 248lbs and am taking phentermine (generic Adipex). I have taken it previously. I am familiar with how it would effect me.  I am using it in conjunction with a healthy eating plan and exercise.  I take 1 pill every other day 1st thing in the morning. I know from previous experience taking it everyday it makes it very hard for me to sleep at night and also makes me constipated so I have increased my fiber and water intake.  Without the medication, it was extremely hard for me to get started eating better and limiting my calorie intake plus start exercising again.  It really is a great kick start to give you energy and help keep you on track when going through a lifestyle change like you have to do to lose the weight when you are obese."


"I have been dealing overactive bladder for years. I tried different medications and they would either stop working or send my blood pressure sky high. My doctor and I decided to go with Botox. I know there is a chance of having to self cath. I asked to have a smaller amount than normal to see if I tolerate it.

I did it yesterday. I initially had burning and some other things but that has stopped. Apart from being tired, I am ok. I am still urinating ok, which is good. I have an appointment in a few weeks to see if I am retaining urine.

I will update when I go back."


"I was having major anxiety and depression. I sought therapy for a year and nothing was helping. I tried Amitriptyline, Prozac, Lexapro, and I don't know what else I can't remember. I found a psychiatrist that immediately diagnosed me as OCD at 30(!!). Mainly O with some compulsions that are highly functioning. This drug stopped the depression in weeks at 50mg. Compulsions were so much more manageable. After two years it just stopped working. We've gone up to 100mg and I started getting blurry vision. 125mg and I was highly agitated and depressed. Not sure where to go from here."

"I started on Prempro on September 2, 2013 for my night sweats, hot flashes and mood swings. I was on it for almost two months. The first month was fine, but during the second month I developed way too many severe side effects. I had: swelling of hands and ankles, breast enlargement and pain,

severe bloating, vaginal irritation, acne, my mood swings worsten, and I gained a lot weight gain. The night sweats and the hot flashes got better, but the side effects were much worst then the night sweats and hot flashes. I started on Healthy Woman Soy Menopause Supplement and it took care of the night sweats and hot flashes without all of the other side effects. This drug is definitely not for everybody and my advice would be to listen to your body!"


"Was the best choice for me. Afters days of not getting any sleep or rest. My body ached from the coughing spells. First 24 hours, started feeling better. Then the capsule started lasting longer so got some sleep. Did break out a little. However, not sure if caused by this. Would rather have small breakout if it was."


"I have been pretty medicine resistant to most medications, the best medication for me was Zoloft until it lost its effectiveness on me.  I have been on Brintellix for about a month now, was upped to 20mgs last week, and it is just amazing for me. I feel a sense of happiness and hope that I haven't felt in a long time, I really didn't see as much improvement until the medication was upped to 20 mgs, then so far it has been awesome, I have had no side effects other than the first few days I was a little antsy and lightheaded."


"Didn't have a period for 1.5 years - was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and hypothyroidism. As hubby and I have been trying to conceive, not having any periods has been difficult to judge any ovulation. Was put on Provera to induce a period before doctor prescribes any ovulation mediciness. Took Provera for 10 days, didn't have any side effects. But after I stopped, I felt nauseous, breasts were very sensitive, was over emotional/very irritable, and a bit dizzy at times. Had light spotting on day 3 and 4 after stopping Provera, then period starting on day 5. Day 5 and 6 were light-medium, but then afterwards was extremely heavy for 2-3 days with really bad cramping."


"I live with depression and anxiety. Generic Wellbutrin has given me none of the sexual side effects I experienced with SSRIs like Zoloft. Seems to help me get out of the house. I'm on 150mg every morning and I'm trying 200mg soon. 300mg was too much for me."


"I am extremely ill with a multitude of symptoms. I visited my doctor and found out I am infected with 2 viruses. My doctor perscribed promethazine and it has made a world of difference. I am now able to sleep, eat (without vomiting), and it has even relieved most of my muscle aching and allergy symptoms. I would definitely rate this medicine as a 10."


"I have been taking Zoloft for about 7 years. I first started taking 50 mg. About 1-2 years later the doctor doubled my doseage to 100 mg 2x a day. I still get depressed but it lasts a whole lot less than before, I started taking Zoloft."


"Due to a medical condition I was told this was the safest cough suppressant for me to take.  I took it before bed and woke up in the middle of the night extremely nauseous. Although it did suppress my cough I can do without the nausea !"


"My dentist prescribed Vicoprofen for pain following a tooth extraction that wasn't healing well. I am 30 and pretty healthy, took it at dinner. Was up all night throwing up. Felt dizzy, confused and anxious. Horrible. Didn't help the pain any either."


"I have been taking this for about two months now because I needed to regulate my period and it did its trick for that. The only part I didn't like about it was how emotional I got a couple of days before my period, I was bawling for no reason. The final reason on why I decided to switch was because I got really angry."


"don't risk it, it's not worth losing yourself in the process of clearing your acne."


"It worked in 24 hours. Wonderful."


"Beginning about 1 hour after insertion, I felt the most pain I have ever experienced in my life. Vomited from shooting pain all throughout body. Beginning about 3 months after insertion, developed a yeast infection that, 6 months later, has never fully gone away. I am nauseous almost every day and my periods are debilitatingly painful."


"I switched from generic immediate release lamotrigine to lamictal XR about a week ago. In the last week I have had the unfortunate and horrible side effect of diarrhea. The worst I have ever experienced; it would start a few hours after taking my meds (at bedtime...) and last until about noon the following day. It took me about a week to realize it was related to the medication change. When I stopped taking the medication the diarrhea went away. I've seen tons of positive reviews about the XR, but it just wasn't for me. I gave it a 3 because it still stabilized my mood while I was on it."


"Lost 17 pounds in 2 months. I have quit for a little bit because I wasn't eating enough. I don't feel hungry, I need to lose 10  to 15 more pounds. I will see if I can do it myself. Just starting excercising since I had surgery, and just got released. Also, need to drink lots of water!   Only took one pill in the morning ."


"If you have a cough, change your toothpaste to Biotene Dry Mouth Toothpaste. Try it and see."


"Latuda has helped me so much with my anxiety and depression.  I'm taking 20 mg once a day and I feel great.  "


"Started Savella last evening; 12.5mg dose. Weary of taking 2 today; I seem to be sensitive to medicines. Will go slower than the tritation pack suggests. Slept better last night, 6 hrs straight; and considerably less pain in the morning."


"My doc had me try Diclofenac after bad side effects from Piroxicam. The pain management with Diclofenac is marginal at best for my arthritis and causes severe swelling in my feet and ankles, but I'm now having to take a diuretic because of it."


"34 yr old female, tried Enbrel for 5 weeks, it gave me a severe allergic reaction, hives, facial swelling, etc. Everything went back to normal after stopping the drug, but now I am weary of all biologics. This disease is a nightmare."


"Experienced no side effects and more importantly passed my kidney stone without difficulty."


"I was diagnosed with stage 5 Endometriosis, back in the early 90's. My Dr. suggested to me the Lupron shots.. The reason we did not do the surgery at that time,  I was young and wanted children, so to help with the awful pain, and miserable time of the month, we started Lupron Injections. Let me say, the side effects were awful!  THE HOT FLASHES, I wanted to go out into the snow naked to cool off.  The mood swings were out of control, however I was put through the menopause stage and no periods, that was heaven.  I was on the injections for 6 months, then after I was off the wicked horrid pain and cycle started. The weight gain was insane. I had to go back on the injections, but since the weight gain, I quit after the 2nd injection."


"I have been using Apri for 3 months and I have gained 10 pounds. I am Vegan and eat very healthy so it cannot be due to my alimentation. Also I have been extremely moody. I am switching back to my old birth control, I do not recommend using it unless you don't mind being fat. Ugh."


"I've been on Invokana for almost a year.  No problems though I realize that I have to drink water almost constantly.  Went from size 18 to size 12, but I cut out a lot of sugar and try to eat more healthy, like watching my carbs."


"I got this put in roughly 7 months ago, and honestly I've had no problems at all. I was, like many, nervous because of all the horror stories I heard about bleeding and moodiness and decreased sex drive, but decided to try it. I have had no prolonged bleeding, I get a 3-4 day long period once a month. I am not moody at all which is great, because the pill made me crazy. And I haven't noticed a significant difference in my sex drive, though it has decreased a little - my boyfriend and I have had no problems. I'm glad my body reacted positively to this, because it is a very efficient method of birth control. I truly recommend at least trying it to see how your body reacts, and be sure to remember to give it some time to settle in."


"I have been diagnosed with TN and was put on epilepsy tabs I have took all now but still got pain in my head I'm getting really worried about it as I can't suffer any more what to do next"


"Unfortunately, sutent did not work on me, I used 2 cycles without any positive results."


"I've been prescribed them for years and they've done nothing but make my life livable, the time I can enjoy with my kids now that I'm not in constant pain, but the OP's? I got really bloated from them, the pain is the same as it would be after taking two Lortab tens. When and how can I find a pharmacy that has the OC that saved my life, my job, me existence because I'm falling apart with the allergic reactions from the new OP's like I'm allergic. "


"I'm a person that constantly forgets to take her birth control pill. So I thought all of the side effects would be cancelled out by not having to remember to take them. I was wrong. Within the first month, I had literally NO sex drive. Within the second month, I became INSANE. The mood changes had me crying daily and arguing with everyone around me. I also started a light period that lasted for the next two months off and on. The worst part about it was that when I decided to not get the shot again, the side effects last for at least another 6 months or more. Plus I ended up gaining (within the three month period) about 30 pounds. Worse decision I ever made. My gyno tried to warn me about it, but I didn't listen. Seriously consider the pros and cons of this."


"Was diagnosed about 1 year after an emergency surgery for a mass in my colon due to a build up of scar tissue from inflammation. After a couple months of 500mg 3X a day frequency of flare ups were greatly reduced. Only had 2 noticeable symptoms, one of weight gain and an an elevated liver function test. My dosage was reduced to 2X a day and liver function is normal but weight gain is still issue. Diet and STRESS level seems to be the most important factor in controlling flare ups"


"I smoked for 32 years one pack per day and I took Chantix for a week while still smoking, on the eighth day I stopped smoking. The first week was tough cause the Chantix helps but you have to decide to stop. After withdrawals for 2 weeks I got over the hill and been good since. Next week will be 2 months of being a non smoker. This medicine is worth every penny. I did have some dreams and not nauseated as long as I eat first. Good Luck to everyone. This is doable."


"I have bipolar disorder and have been using Lamictal for 3 months. No more thoughts of suicide, no anger and I am happy again. I am back to being me again."


"The only thing it did for me was make me so tired that I could not function. I had to wait 24 hours before it wore off."


"I've been on adderall for six months for narcolepsy. It has given me a life back. It has helped my severe daytime sleepiness by about 80 %. There are times if I'm really really tired that I can tell the med doesnt help. But mostly it is excellent. The only thing I don't like about it is the crash after the med wears off. I can tell a huge difference. And it is also disappointing that I have to take meds to stay awake each day. But overall, I would say I'm very thankful for it."


"Constipated.  Took recommended dose, went to bed, slept well, got up, had coffee, breakfast, off to the bathroom.  Regular evacuation, like old times, no problems, soft, controlled!!  No problems, back to regular, once a day, like times past!!  Life saver, love Milk of Magnesia!!  Will use again, when needed, if constipation is more than two/three days long."


"I just finished my last dose. Yippee! I took Metronidazole 500mg (2 pills) twice a day for 7 days. It is the most disgusting pill I've ever tasted. I'm happy that I read the ratings before I continued my doses. I coated the pills with honey and it was a much better experience. I had side effects for 3-4 days: constant stomach ache, weakness, nausea, and constant metallic taste in mouth. It is quite effective. I stopped having symptoms by the third day. I hope to never have to take this pill again."


"Mirapex helps me."


"I'm 19 with no kids and the only bad thing was the insertion which was bearable if some ibuprofen is taken before"


"Kipple-Feil syndrome and Sprengel's deformity: My back has major problems and this medicine works the best by far. It works on the back without turning the rest of you to jello. I mostly limit it to before bed, because it can make you very tired. It lasts about 6 hours."
