"This medicine has completely turned my life around! Just when I was losing hope I started this medication 1000mg 4 times a day. I went from having severe gas pain, blood, mucas, a lot of BM, and uncomfortable distended stomach after I ate to EVERY symptom GONE after the first month of taking this medication! The only side effect I've experienced is the first few days of starting the medicine I had really bad stomach upset but after day 4 my body started to adjust and I had my first normal BM in almost a year! I also get headaches randomly but ibuprofen always knocks it out. Totally worth giving it a shot!"


"Hi, everyone I wanted to wait until I finish the entire bottle, before I came and did a review. So I went to my doctor who is awesome and she put me on Tenuate. My starting weight was 210 lbs, I started my first pill on May 24, 2013. I will be honest in my review. I started the week off strong eating right, exercising twice a day, making sure I stay within my 1200 calories daily. The exercises I did was walking and fitness blender. I made sure I drank plenty of water and the first week I lost 6.2 lbs. I was so excited and that push me to keep going that second week I lost 3 lbs and third week I lost 3lbs and so forth. As of now I'm 195.8lbs. I love this pill."


"My mom had recommended this cream for me. I did not know what to expect once I purchased it. I did not look up reviews or anything so I was fully unaware of the side effects. Once I inserted it, about 10 minutes passed and I started to feel discomfort. It then turned from discomfort to the most extreme burning I've ever felt in my life. My vagina was burning for a good 4 hours. I can admit, the following day, my yeast infection went away. But the process before that was literally helllllll! I was literally crying all night because I didn't think the burning would go away. I would rather deal with the yeast infection then deal with that burning pain I felt. Although it helps.. I don't think it's worth all that pain."


"Trazodone is my miracle drug! I take it & within 30 minutes I feel the need to go to sleep. I have very few side effects. Mostly, grogginess in the morning. I also have to go to bed right after I take it or I get dizzy and my heart races. Those side effects done happen if I go to bed before the med sets in! I highly recommend this to anyone who had sleep issues."


"I took wellbutrin to help with motivation and energy, which were major sources of my depression. The first two weeks were absolutely terrible. The only side effect I had was night sweating, and it was so bad that I got no sleep every night. I would fall asleep and wake up covered in so much sweat there would be pools of water on my chest. Had to wear clothes from head to toe and sleep on a towel.

After that it worked fine. However, it didn't really help with the motivation. It gave me more energy, but didn't allow me to use it for anything. That ended up increasing my anxiety. However during this period I did not experience a single side effect other than occasional chest pain which was probably from the anxiety/stress anyways."


"I used ocella years ago and it was great at first. My cramps weren't as painful or etc but then I started getting severe stomach pain and guess what? I found out I had gallstones due to Ocella and had to have my gallbladder removed when I was 20 and I'm 25 now. So if any ladies experience stomach pain on the right side you might have gallstones due to this pill"


"My first two pregnancies my doctor said I had HG. I popped all blood vessels in both my eyes and was so desperate and miserable not keeping anything down. My third pregnancy my doctor finally told me about diclegis! What a lifesaver! I no longer had to have a zofran pump in my stomach or walk around my house with an IV pole! The first dose I was tired, took a nap right away! The next few days I was tired too. But I had to take 3-4 a day every day, until I delivered my baby. So the tiredness wore off. I could drive and function just fine after taking it for a week or two. I'd rather be tired than have black eyes, look like a zombie, not be able to keep down an ice cube, and cry 100 times a day. If you're really suffering, this is worth it!"


"I have had the Implanon for about 12 weeks and am going to have it removed next week.  Although a good form of contraception for preventing babies, I have found it made me moody, anxious and at times down-right depressed.  Also sometimes aggressive, and my libido dwindled to nothing (rather defeats the object).  My poor young boys think an alien has inhabited their Mummy's body, and they are the final reason I am having it taken out.  I have been irritable beyond belief with them and never was before this went in.  My husband wants his wife back, my kids want their mum back and I want my life back.  It works for some people.  It has not worked for me."


"This medication strongly relieved my depression/anxiety. After having a horrible experience with sertraline, I was wary of trying a new drug. However, this drug has been a lifesaver and I'm so glad I continued to try medication. It made me functional and able to enjoy life again (--: I did experience some side effects for the first two months, including: lack of appetite, weight loss, sleep disturbances, and difficulty achieving orgasm. These effects faded though, and now the only time I experience anything negative is if I miss a dose. Do NOT try this medication if you cannot adhere to a strict regimen. The withdrawal symptoms after missing a dose are unpleasant. That said, don't be afraid of this drug! Take it as directed and it works."


"I have been on pravastatin for nearly five months.  Two months ago I felt soreness in my wrists.  One month ago soreness and weakness in both knees.  I will call my treating physician tomorrow.  I can hardly get up from a sitting position."


"I have OCD and I've been on Prozac for a short time, but it is so, so helpful. It's stemmed my obsessions a lot, to the point where I can actually focus in class and get my schoolwork done. I've had a few side effects such as weight gain, irregular appetite, and some weird moods, but it's all worth it."


"I had unprotected sex on the 17th this month and took the Ella pill 44 hours later. I felt so sick for the first 2 days I couldn't get off the sofa, had severe bloating next few days I was nauseous and vomited a fair few times still am occasionally vomiting 12 days on, I'm now 13 days in and still having symptoms e.g. cramping and back ache mainly on the left side of my abdomen, headaches, heartburn, acid reflux. Also this pill is like an abortion, if you did have a fertilised egg which in my opinion is when pregnancy begins it stops it from attaching therefore causing abortion. Worst pill I've ever taken in my life. I'm due  in 4 days and even though I don't think I'm pregnant the effects it's had on me have been horrendous. Use with caution"


"Although it was with the girl I love and everything turned out alright. My gf did get pregnant after taking Plan B one step about 16 hours after hooking up. I have used it with other girls and with her before, and nothing ever came from it. So maybe it saved me before. But with my current gf, it did not. She got off Birth Control 2 weeks before we hooked up. Two weeks after that she had light bleeding and cramps. Figured we were all good. For shits and gigs she took a pregnancy test, followed by 2 others, and what do you know. Pregnant. So just letting people know. It can still happen. It did for me and my gf, so be careful. Its not a guarantee."


"So I've been on the Doxycycline for a week now and I already notice a difference in my skin. For a person who's alergic to benzoyl peroxide (main ingredient in acne medications) it was hard to find something for my acne. The only downfall I experience is the nausea and yeast infections."


"I was put on Clomid for cycle days
5-9 not sure when I ovulated, now I'm 5 weeks pregnant after 1st round! This is my 2nd child my first was natural."


"I have taken statins for the past 20 years, having to change regularly because of side effects of muscular pains.  Triglycerides were high also.  HDL low. LDL high.  Cholesterol level 4 months ago was 325.  Started taking Livalo for the first time.  BLood work 3 months later - Cholesterol 197, Triglycerides the lowest I have ever, ever had.  HDL high.  LDL low.  Never had these kinds of results before.  Very happy.  I have had muscle cramps in hands, feet and legs at times. Thought it might be due to low potassium or magnesium.  Blood work proved to be normal range for both.  Perhaps it is the Livalo."


"Had stomach/nausea/breathing side effects - awful experience. Quit after 4 tablets out of five. "


"I was prescribed this pill due to heavy bleeding during one menstrual cycle..my tubes are tied so this was the only reason I took the pill, it really helped alleviate the heavy bleeding however I ended up with a blood clot in my rt eye as a result of this pill. Just wondering if anyone else had this experience. I was fine before I started taking it and after just 3 months I noticed blurry vision in my rt eye. I don't have a familial history of blood clotting and no where else in my body do I have blood clots. I know this because I'm now under the care of a cardiologist, hematologist, retina specialist, all because of the clot. Don't take this especially if your family has a history of blood clots."


"I have Scleroderma, I have been very fortunate, I have had no side effects.  CellCept saved my life.My lungs were being destroyed rapidly by my scleroderma. After I started on CellCept my lungs have not gotten any worse in over 5 years."


"I have been on both sythnoid and levothyroxine
Since march 2015 and have  no issues with  either medicine.  Unless it was my fault for not  taking it. Very bad idea. My levels changed  for the better and my  dr took me off cold  turkey.  Not wise. So I took half a pill to be 25mg and I am fine. Once  in awhile  I feel nervous or anxious so I increase to 50mg . Then go back to 25mg."


"I consumed the Berry Smoothie Readi-Cat as directed prior to a CT scan. When I was leaving, the technician handed me a bottle of water, and told me to be sure to drink enough liquids. He did not explain why. I failed to consume much water following the exam; I was busy around town doing errands and it slipped my mind. Later, I have found that there have been residual effects of some joint inflammation,  that is apparent in my right knee joint area in particular. I suspect that this product has the potential to contribute to inflammation. I'm not sure if it is the barium sulfate in particular, although I had a CT scan a few years ago and don't remember this side effect. It could be the agents used to flavor it, or to keep it in suspension."


"I have suffered from frequent bouts of acute cystitis which have had me sitting on the toilet for hours in the middle of the night in tears. The only thing which works to clear the infection is nitrofurantoin. i find it works quickly and have never experienced any side effects other than my urine going slightly more bright yellow.

I am writing this because the other reviews are very negetive and could easily stop people taking this drug. if i had read them i would probably not have taken the medication. i do not doubt that some people suffer very bad side affects but that applies to all medication. i would like to say that i really depend on this drug to cure my cystitis which would otherwise make my life very miserable.try them."


"I started this medication last year at 10 mg for my migraines. They were so severe I couldn't function and they were almost daily for me. So my doctor prescribed me nortriptyline. It really helped almost immediately. However, about 1 month in I got super groggy and lethargic during the day for no reason. I decided that I would just stay on the medication anyway. I am so glad I did because this medication helps so much with my migraines. I am now on 20 mg and I only get a migraine once a month or less. I would highly recommend for people with chronic migraines."


"This stuff works pretty well, lets me sleep through the night during allergy season."


"My doctor prescribed Triamterene/HCTZ 37.5 once a day about 6 months ago. In the meantime I experienced severe silent migraine type symptoms (light-sensitivity, motion sensitivity, brain fog, irritability, not able to read or think clearly) which I have never had before.  My doctor even did a brain MRI to try to find the cause but never thought of my medicines side effects.  I quit this medicine on my own and immediately noticed no more headache symptoms!  Have been off for 2 months now and no silent migraine instances have occurred."


"Works wonders on lower back pain but sometimes needs a narcotic pain killer or muscle relaxer for days when pain is more severe.  Downside of this drug is that taking too much causes excruciating abdominal cramping and stabbing gas pains in the intestines.  But it's an 8-hour pill, so pain relief usually lasts and it is not hard to space doses out since it lasts so long."


"I had this birth control in since right after I gave birth. I was terrified of them, but I didn't want to get pregnant again yet. The first while was awful; mood swings, severe headaches, the works. BUT...after all of that, it got settled down. I have been on it for the whole first round and when it expired I got another. With it, I feel more balanced, more calm, like for the first time I can think clearly. My periods are lighter, and it gives me a peace of mind, lIke i never have anxiety anymore. I have gained about 10-20 lbs on it in the past 4-5 years, occasionally have acne if super stressed, but it has been a blessing for me overall not having anxiety or heavy periods."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The taste isn't that Awful however I highly recommend taking it cold and I swished ginger ale in my mouth after each chug and the spit it out.  Helped with the taste.  It kicked in really quickly. Like 15 minutes after I finished drinking it.   It's been 2 hours and I'm still going but it's clear.  I would suggest living in the bathroom for a few hours.  I couldn't go far with out having to go that first hour.    I didn't have any cramps or bloating or any other side effects.   If anything I feel better than I did before I started.  The prep and all that water sort of filled me up."


"I switched to Bunavail because its alot cheaper then suboxone films and even the generic tablets.  I have no problems with it.  Yes the gummy stuff takes a minute to get used to but less medicine and same results.   Works wonders  staying on the program."


"I took Zarah for 3 years, never missed a pill and always took it right at 3pm every day. So it worked great. No weight gain. No painful cramps. A light flow during period week. But I rated this 5/10 because I did end up getting pregnant 3 1/2 years after I started taking Zarah. I didn’t take any medications around the time I conceived besides my BC Zarah. My doctor was shocked when my blood test came back positive. So beware, even the best birth control pills can fail and result in pregnancy. I will say though, it was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I have a beautiful 1 year old to prove it."


"Hot flashes"


"While this medication alleviated the pain in my husband's arm after taking it for about 5 years he was recently rushed into emergency surgery  with a large gastric ulcer. The condition came on without symptoms or warning. His surgeon said Mobic was the cause. If you take this medication do so with Extreme Caution."


"I was really excited initially to get NuvaRing. During the first week, I had really heavy bleeding, which ultimately turned into spotting almost every day for the next three months until I finally decided to have it removed. When I started Nexplanon, I was at a healthy weight for my height and frame, but lost about ten pounds despite no change in my eating habits, lost all of my breasts, and started looking too thin. I was also incredibly irritable and depressed on an almost daily basis, which put just as much of a damper on intimacy with my boyfriend as the virtually nonexistent libido that it gave me. After I got it removed and got back on the Pill, all of my symptoms went away. I wouldn't recommend Nexplanon to anyone."


"I don't think this drug does a whole lot for my pain but I think it keeps me from becoming depressed. It seems to work very well for stabilizing my mood."


"I take 50 mg of Trazodone and 1 mg of Risperdal for my racing thoughts and 40 mg of Celexa for my depression (all at bedtime) and this combination is really working well for me, I love it! I love love love this medicine. I used to have really bad depression that would cause me to become hospitalized for my suicidal ideation and now I rarely have those thoughts. This medicine has given me my life and happiness back. I am so glad to have finally found something that helps with my depression."


"Since I started taking Viibryd I have been happy and have had energy to do things again. My Dr gave me some samples of the starter box that started out at 10 MG for the first week. Then increased to 20 MG on the second week. I've been on 20 mgs for two months and I feel better than I've felt in years.  Before I started taking it I always felt down and out and always wanted to lay around on the couch. The only thing that I have bad to say about it is that on the first 4 or five days my stomach stayed upset and I felt very nauseated. But after about 5 days it passed and I started feeling great!  If I could recommend this to everyone that is feeling depressed I would!  It is a wonder drug to me!"


"Hopefully my experience will give some with Narcolepsy a little bit of relief taking this medicine.  I started taking Dexedrine when I was 31 years old and 100 tablets of Dexedrine cost $5.  I am now 71 years old and have been taking this for 40 years and I am still alive without any bad side effects that I am aware of.  After taking Dexedrine, I finished nursing school and became an RN.  Since that time I have retired.  As a teenager in high school, I thought that studying was going to my bed with a book and falling asleep.  If it wasn't for a clerical course, I would have never graduated as I couldn't fall asleep typing or taking shorthand.  I was amazed how Dexedrine helped me. My does is 2 10 mg tablets 3 times a day."


"I have been taking this medicine since it's been out on the market, I remember my doctor telling me it was new and give it a try.  I felt like that is when all the cog works of my brain started working in conjunction with one another.  I could see life as it really was.  It actually gives me headaches, but after trying about 20 diff medicines, this works.  I take it with Topamax and Wellbutrin.  20 years on a medicine isn't bad."


"24 hr medicine for pain, I only got 6 hours of minimal relief.  Started on the 20 mg for 1 month, then Dr switched me to 40 mg for 1 months, then 30 mg for 1 month.  It always seemed to start working long after I took it, about 12 hrs and made me extremely sleepy and tired, along with pain.  In the 3 months I took it, I gained 15 pounds without even eating more or differently because I was constantly nauseous with it.  Who wants food when queasy?  I have been prescribed and instant release pain med and have been on 2 days.  It works great with no side effects and I have lost the 7 lbs of the 15 the hysinglia  made me gain.  Hopefully the other 8 lbs will come off quickly too because the weight gain from the drug caused my A1C to go"


"My wife woke up Monday morning feeling off and by 3pm felt terrible and running a 102 degree fever.  Immediately took her to urgent care and she tested positive for H3N2 (the strain that wasn't in the vaccine).  She took her first dose of Tamiflu around 8pm.  By the next day she was feeling a lot better and by Wednesday morning, the fever was gone and she felt 95% better.  Then on Thursday, my 4 year old woke up with a fever of 101.  By the time we got in to see his Dr (2pm) his temp was 103 and he was feeling TERRIBLE (and he also tested positive).  He got his first dose around 5pm and woke up the next morning with a temp of 98.6 and he felt GREAT!  Completely amazed.  No side effects for either of them."


"I have been on Gilenya for 3 months now for my Multiple Sclerosis and am very very impressed. I have had no side effects."


"Dont know nothing bout nothin---cept been taken this magic pill 15 years--changes my life--cardiologist says I am fine--but without crestor-cant breathe or get out of bed--lots chest pains--think your dying--crestor takes it all away--
 cardio specialist says no heart problems- highly recommend--everybody differt-best wishes for your good health"


"My doctor prescribed Tramadol because I am allergic to other types of pain medication and he believes doctors are treated like criminals if they prescribe Vicodin. I've taken Vicodin before, after surgery, and it works, but Tramadol barely touches my pain. It does, however, make my head feel foggy and my vision blurry. Tramadol also makes me extremely tired and weak feeling--like I could sleep every day away. Vicodin, however, helps relieve pain, gives me energy, and actually lifts my  mood. Strange. I am about to have 3 surgeries, so I have scheduled an appointment with a pain management doctor hoping she will be more knowledgeable and helpful. It's a shame that doctors can't prescribe what they know will work due to the addiction epidemic"


"I'm currently on two benzodiazepines (xanax and klonopin) as well as lexapro, and lexapro is effectively useless. I've been on 20 mg for a while now and so far I am still extremely depressed and experience severe suicidal thoughts multiple times a week. I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to get off of lexparo. I was better off when I wasn't on anything at all. The only thing that helps is lexapro in conjunction with 1 mg xanax, which, quite frankly, makes me feel stoned."


"I was on IV for 4 days and then switched to oral 4x a day. When I started taking it orally I got bad heartburn, felt like something was stuck in my throats and sometimes it hurt in my chest. I questioned the pharmacist and she told me to take an anti acid 1/2 hour before my dose (one was good for 2 doses) and drink lots of water. I did this and had no more problems."


"Immediate relief within hours.

No longer living in pain every day.

I just pray this continues."


"The extended release Oxycontin works the same for pain relief as Percocet, but with barely any side effects.  Doesn't make me nearly as foggy or give me that euphoric feeling that Percocet does.  I can focus better during the day and sleep through the night without waking up needing more pills."


"i am on keppra 1000mg and 100mg yopamax daily.combination very effective but i am experiencing severe side effect  like tirdness fatigue and muscle weakness.difficult attend to my daily needs"


"Starting methadone was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I look much healthier, and on top of all that I got an excellent job. Now I don't have to worry about being sick, methadone is amazing!"


"Life changing experience. I have been on many different medications on and off over the years, and trintellix is honestly the only thing that worked for me. Pros:
I was able to eat again! My depression and anxiety had caused me to lose over 30 pounds in just a few months, and I looked sickly. After 2 weeks on trintellix, I got my appetite back.
My anxiety reduced, but didn't fully subside. I had Xanax for emergencies when trintellix couldn't control my anxiety.
I was still able to feel emotions, and never had sexual dysfunction.
It helped me get my sleeping back on track, and I was able to establish a normal sleep schedule.
Cons:
Cost, thank goodness my doctor had a lot of samples becaue I could not afford the monthly cost every month."


"This medicine is absolutely awful. I took it after surgery because I was constipated from pain medication. I ended up being in bed for a whole day and I couldn't move without throwing up. I thought it must be from the surgery. I got better and took another laxative a couple days later. Within an hour, I was having horrible diarrhea and vomiting. Totally not worth it. Geez. Horrible medicine."


"I was very depressed after experiencing loss of two family members within 2 weeks. Started citalopram 10mg once a day for a week then went to 20 mg once a day.

The first week, there was no change in me. The second week was much better. I was always a quiet , non talkative person but now I speak a lot more and am more sociable (which I don't really care to be) but considering the alternative...

This drug definitely helped with the depression. I've only been on it a little over 3 weeks now. I did experience side effects such as headaches, not being able to fall asleep, and I'm very jumpy...a small noise or whatever will startle me. But I'll gladly put up with those for the relief this drug has given me."


"Thankfully, this really works."


"So, I was put on Metronidazole by my gastroenterologist because of "gut issues". 250mg 3x/ day for 10 days. The first two-ish days I had diarrhea, dry mouth, and the "metallic" taste many people mention. My gut symptoms seemed to worsen but after a few days, this medication seemed to get everything under control. All bad side effects subsided and I felt totally fine. I absolutely did NOT drink alcohol while taking this (and my doctor did make it very clear not to). When you read the potentially terrible (and dangerous) side effects from mixing this medication and booze, it's just not worth it. The worst thing about this medication is the taste - terribly bitter so swallow quickly! All in all, don't fear this medication too much."


"I had been on the Yasmin contraceptive pill for a few years with no problems but liked the idea of not having to worry about taking a pill every day. The first few weeks after having Nexplanon in we're great but then my skin got gradually oilier and spottier until I couldn't bare it any longer and 3 months later I had it removed..one week on and I'm waiting to get my clear skin back. It also gave me mood swings but by far the worst part was the acne."


"Hello everyone,  I promised myself I would write a review on Next Choice - even if it worked or not. And now I'm here to share my experience. So I had unprotected sex Wednesday night around 10pm (he jizzed inside of me) and let me tell you how truly scared I was! So I decide to take plan b pill the next morning however there was no plan b in stock so I had to settle for next choice 2 dose. Around 10am I swallowed BOTH .75mg pills with some water and a McDonald's breakfast sandwich. So hours went by and I didn't feel a single side effect. Surprisingly. However the next day or two I started to feel nauseous randomly and got frequent headaches. I never had any other problems.Today is Friday and I just got my period. Just be patient my loves!"


"I have been struggling with my weight most of my life.  Due to needing a total knee replacement was already trying to lose the 70lbs needed to have the surgery with little success.  Thank goodness, I was restarted on Victoza on October 16, 2017.  Since then, my blood sugar
has consistently been 110-120.  I have very little appetite along with nausea after the daily shot. I eat very little but was shocked to find out I am down 40 lbs since Oct 16th.  I honestly believe this is due to the Victoza and diurectics I have for excessive water retention.
Thanks Victoza!"


"Took Augmentin for sinus and ear infection . After 3  days of stomach pain, I stopped. Called Doctor and he said take it on a full stomach. I did what he suggested and spent the night in the bathroom throwing up. This medicine is insane!! Throwing it in the trash. Don't you think I should get my $55.00 diollars back that I spent on it? But of course I won't."


"When I first started taking it, I thought it was great. I took the 20's twice a day with 10 mg hydro for breakthrough. I have been on it a year and my doctor said I needed the 30 mg but he is closing his practice and won't change any prescriptions before he goes. He said I needed the 30s about a year ago but then wouldn't make the change. I took myself off of them. They only gave me about 3 hours of relief after taking 2 hours to be effective. So now I am looking for a new doctor who will just give me 30mg of hydrocodone a day. That's all I need."


"Tikosyn did restore sinus rhythm following unsuccessful cardioversion. As others have mentioned, cost is staggering and hoping for relief at some point. Side effects so far are fatigue and truly annoying headaches."


"Had the implant 1st may 2015 and after two weeks I have become a complete mess. I've had extreme headaches and tiredness. Massive acne out breaks but the worst was the mood swings. I would find myself ready to kill my other half over silly stuff and then sobbing uncontrollably in the next minute. I also had pain when I moved my arm. I also had a real job to get my doctor to take it out! I've had similar reactions on other types on contraception so knew what it was. I appreciate it works wonders for some people but for me it was a nightmare!!"


"GREAT, no problems at all and the medication works like a charm."


"I found this medication very effective, I am able to stay on task without changing my mood, speak clearer without getting tongue tied and I do eat smaller portion than I usually do. I've only lost 5lbs the max within two year and the only side affect I have is occasional dry mouth. It's best to stay hydrated and eat a snack in between meals while on this medication to reduce the dry mouth it works for me."


"Worked for bacterial UTI but I got dizzy and numbing on face and had  horrible experience. I would not take it again"


"I feel I needed to share this as this medicine has definitely helped me.  I have had performance anxiety for quite some time.  I've tried multiple methods to help ease any fight or flight feelings right before presentations and they have been hit and miss.  I used propranolol for the first time last week for a presentation that has been causing me stress.  It was a lifesaver.  It doesn't get rid of the anxiety, but it gets rid of the fight or flight response my body gets sometimes.  That is the worst part of presenting.  So while this doesn't get rid of anxiety, it really lowers the dreadful feelings.  It you need it, I suggest trying it."


"I am on my 3rd round of antibiotics in 12 days. As well as 2 steroid injections and 2 antibiotic injections, the last one being Rocephin. All of this treatment is for a sinus infection, bilateral ear infections as well as bronchitis. Thank goodness, day 2 of Levaquin I am feeling like I am going to make it. Next time it will be Levaquin first!"


"On Monday night I started experiencing a runny nose and  feeling kind of dizzy so I decided to go to bed. I woke up the next morning feeling terrible. I was aching the entire day all over my body. I had the chills, sore throat, headache, and a fever of 100.2. I felt like crap so I decided to go to the doctors and they tested me for the flu and it came back positive. I had influenza so my doctor put me on Tamiflu. The first night was the worst, I did eat something hoping the medication would give me no side effects, but I was vomiting and my body was aching so badly. It took me forever to fall asleep but when I woke up the next morning I had no aches and no chills. Each day was better being on Tamiflu."


"I agree with everything that has already been said here. I am just so incredibly grateful that I was able to build a trusting relationship with my doctor so that HE feels comfortable prescribing it.  Xanax really is the only thing that helps me untangle myself when the anxiety takes over. What I love the most is that I can count on it to do the job and not leave me feeling strange later. It just smooths out the wrinkles and kinks that I get into every so often. Just knowing that I have it in my cabinet to lean on is in itself a big help for me - my secret tool. Yes, it's a shame something so helpful to us is abused, but that is with everything in life. Be happy we aren't Guinea pigs anymore with the crappy meds :-)"


"The sun came out when I started taking this medicine. I started singing in my car, striking up conversations with strangers and being a better mom. It changed my life!"


"I have been on Geodon for 3 years now, and I like it better than other bipolar medicines! But the downside is I forget things really easy, and also I can't remember things from years ago like I should. People tell me things I have no idea what they are talking about. I manic every once in a while, I take 60mg in mornings and 60mg at bedtime. It hasn't gave me trouble with my heart, and my blood pressure stays great. I hope this helps. I am trying to cope with it without changing medicines."


"I've smoked for nearly 40 years.  Currently I'm on my 7th day of taking Chantix but I quit smoking on my 5th day.  It's good but for me the morning pill is far better at supressing cravings then the evening pill when I really struggle. So far I've had zero side effects and have lost a pound.  I don't understand the depression others are having as my mood has been very upbeat as I'm so proud of myself for being two days smoke free.  I do believe the key is you have to want to quit.  Cigarettes are not our friends. I don't want to be controlled by nicotine anymore - I wan't my life back."


"When I have trouble sleeping I can take one Advil and sleep all night.  I also use Advil when I have pains in my muscles or back from exercising too much."


"After bouts of odor, discharge, and itching that I tried to rectify using OTC meds and natural remedies, I went to my OB/GYN and was diagnosed with BV. While this med has helped immensely, the SE are the reason I rated it 9. By day 3 the odor was not as strong (almost gone but I could still faintly smell it). From there things got better symptom wise, but as far as SE that's been hell from day one. Headaches, nausea, bloating, increased appetite which led to weight gain, looser stools, and overall tiredness are all of the issues I experienced taking the 500mg twice daily for a week prescription. Even though I missed dosage times occasionally due to the SE , I took the medicine and finished in 9 days. Next time I will get the gel. Not as bad"


"I am 17 years old currently on the Mirena. I have had it in for just a couple of days nows. I do not have kids. The insertion was not a cup of Tea. The most pain I had was when they had to clamp my cervix. Other than that it wasn't bad. I had 2 days of light cramping (Just take some ibuprofen) but I was able to go right back to school on Monday. I took the depo-shot one time and it caused my period to run on for 2-3 weeks. I'm not at all a pill person. Good luck!"


"Wonderful long acting triptan. I have tried just about everything for my migraines and this is the only medication that keeps them gone. I have also noticed less issues with nausea with this medication over some of the others in it's class. I have yet to need the second dose and it seems to relieve my major symptoms within an hour with the headache entirely gone within two hours.  Expensive as it is I believe it is definitely worth the money."


"Used in combination with other diabetes meds, this works great! I can eat a full carb dinner and wake up with fastings in normal range (110)."


"It saves me from going in a deep depression episode."


"It's sad when people write a drug of because their experience was negative. With nerve pain of any kind there are different levels of pain in which the body can get to, sometimes I have muscle spasms with and without pain, in My face, my  legs, my back neck n shoulders, my eyes to. I even vomit as a result is severe pain.  My vision is blurred my breathing and anxiety levels affected greatly, LYRICA make most of this go away.   Please understand not all meds suit every individual so you have to try different things till one works for you. I also took lyrica in pregnancy n have a healthy chubby lil baby boy 100% a ok this med gave me part of my life back. Living with pain is crucifying but living with lyrica is a solution !!! For me anyway"


"I started taking Abilify to compliment years of taking Effexor.  I am on 5 mg, and am experiencing many of the symptoms I am reading about here - weight gain, feelings of emptiness, and craving for sweets.  The good part of it is all the depressing and worrisome voices are out of my head.  The bad thing is the emptiness, but I figure I should filling that void with good things - hobbies, music, more quality time with my beautiful wife.  Maybe that's the healing, not the pill."


"I've have an extreme case; it starts in my legs and finds it's way to the arms and everywhere else.  I've spent more nights than I care to remember screaming into my pillow.  Requip completely quiets the syndrome - 100%.  But...then I spend the next two hours wishing I hadn't taken it, due to the endless projectile vomiting.  I cannot take it, as I had developed hypophosphatemia from the vomiting.

(I now take Klonopin 1 mg at bedtime, and it prevents RLS extremely well.)"


"80% effective at curbing my day to day anxiety with absolutely no side effects that I am able to determine. However, I still have spikes in anxiety. My doctor recently increased me from 150mg to 225mg in an effort to help with the spikes."


"90 day update. Down from 245 to 213. Headed south to 200. No more XXL shirts and I lost 3 knotches on my belt. Blood Pressure down to safe levels. Was 190/125. Good Luck.
Hopefully, if more people hear about this, the price will come down."


"I took singular in grade 2 and had very lucid bad dreams and anger issues. But i did help a bit for my asthma. Now i am in grade 10 and this has stopped my allergy and exersise induced asthma attacks. My main side effect now lucid dreams. I like them but i know a lot of people don't."


Conjugated estrogens / medroxyprogesterone

"Premphase was awesome at controlling my postmenopausal symptoms and especially the hot flashes and night sweats~ It works great with not any bad side effects like some of the other ones that I tried. Premphase worked when I had tried everything else to feel normal again."


"Second injection started night and day sweats. This has increased to every 2-3 hrs during the day - less frequency at night. Dropped my PSA from 30  to .07 post prostate removal. Time on medication - 6 months."


"I have had 14 operations and where my back and neck was broke kills me. I have 4 bulging disc  and my m s contin 60 mgs is not working anymore"


"I am in my early 50's and suffered with erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia the last few years. On and off again prostatitis using antibiotics and getting awful side effects. Saw advertisement for Cialis for daily use and talked to my urologist about it. Had the voucher for 30 day free trial. After ONE WEEK, I was urinating normal, and not waking in the middle of the night to go! After two weeks I was getting erections like a teen again, middle of the night, mornings and when I wanted sex. I couldn't be happier, no more pain, more sex and a happier wife!"


"This the only triptin medication that has not cause me rapid heart beat. And has saved me countless visits to the emergency room."


"My daughter's pediatrician told me to give her 1 pill before 9:00 a.m. daily.  I gave her the pill at 8:30 a.m. and all day she was amazing then suddenly out of no where at 10:30 p.m. she said she just couldn't fall asleep, her hands and feet wouldn't stop moving, her mouth was moving extremely weird, and she said she was jittery. My daughter finally fell asleep at 6:30 a.m. and didn't receive another dose again but had problems for 5 more nights with sleep."


"The insertion I was painful but the type of cramp you get the day before your period. The doctor told me she loved me and did everything with ease.
I've been on skyla for a month now and have spotted everyday and I think I am on my period now. It's hard to tell the difference since the pain is severe for both. I've been in unbearable pain everyday for a month. My uterus laughs at midol and norco. They only thing that works is naproxen, but if I don't take it before is loses the effect then I'm in pain for the rest of the day especially since it takes 2 hrs to kick in. I've been throwing up for 3 weeks now and it can be due to the pain. I'm going to stick with it. I can't have done this for nothing"


"Multiple problems which a 7 day course of Erthymacin did not solve a month earlier and my condition worsened.  Lost my voice - throat felt like it was on fire and a nagging cough, have a dental abscess and the sinusitis was the worst problem - as it stopped me from being able to sleep through the night; constantly having to get up to clear my throat from the sinus drainage. The sinus drainage upset my tummy which had me vomiting at work.  I switched doctors and my new doctor said I was under-treated.  He gave me two shots in the butt (one was a steroid and the other one I think was for my allergies).  He prescribed the clarithromyacin  14days- after a few days I really noticed that my sinuses were much improved. Sore throat gone/sleeping!."


"Went into anaphylaxis after third dose. Increased anxiety. Had to go to the emergency room via ambulance. Mouth, tongue, & throat were swollen, chest was tight, severe all over itching, & itching throat. Found out this only works 50% of the time. That it's a hail Mary drug. It works on half of the people, makes the other half worse. Be very cautious with this one. Because it's a 50/50 chance."


"I have been on it for a year and never gotten any better after the first week. This is my last refill just hoping for a miracle."


"Started on losartan 50mg am and Metropolol 25pm. . BP Med works but I am getting side effects: confusion, Foggy, Frequent urination(stress incontinence), dizzy (drive time).
Discontinued metropolol to atenolol (original Med) to 12.5 mg pm, low systolic . At wits end."

"I was prescribed flexeril for migraines and it was the WORST experience of my life. After developing a migraine, I took one 5mg flexeril in the afternoon and, about 6 hours later, one 50mg tramadol and one 100 mg imitrex. I ended up in the ER at 3 o'clock in the morning unable to breathe, barely able to move and in a full blown panic attack. Apparently, flexeril is similar in chemical make up to Elavil  - a drug a had a VIOLENT reaction to! - and can cause something called serotonin syndrome (which is what I had) when taken with tramadol. Why didn't my doctor know this?? Why was I never warned that flexeril should NOT be taken with tramadol due to possible dangerous interactions. I'll NEVER take this dangerous drug again."


"I'm a retired land surveyor that worked for many years in Florida. I have been searching for this name of this medicine for years.  My condition had returned after 30  years and I account that to the Michigan swamps 5 years ago.  Well I'll say short of cutting off your lower torso, nothing works on this condition.  Dermatologists, doctors and MD's all give the standard non hydro-creams and powders.  They only head the danger times but do not cure. Vietnam Vet pharmacist help me out on Fulvicin.  Now I must spell it for my Michigan Doctor. GOD bless those who served."


"Honestly I never write reviews but I have been on this birth control for 3 months and I just requested to switch.My first period was pretty bad and my second was so light I was worried it didn't even count as a period. My inconsistent periods are not what bugged me though. My mood swings have been insane and everyone pointed it out to me after I have been saying I feel depressed spent a lot of time sleeping and in my room. I'm usually a positive person with a positive outlook on situations but I have felt myself become more negative and miserable. I have been on other birth controls before and have had no problems. I fully believe different birth controls affect people different ways so it may work for you! This has just been my expierience"


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


"I have had anxiety/depression since giving birth to my son in 2001.  Panic attacks were really bad, I was put on Buspar, Xanax, Paxil.  They did not work for me.  Then I was put on Zoloft.   It worked for approximately 10 years.  Then it stopped.  The panic attacks came back and the depression was terrible.  I went to a therapist and a psychiatrist.  The psychiatrist took me off of Zoloft and put me on Prozac and Xanax. I would say that it took about 4-5 weeks for 20 mg of Prozac to kick in and help with the depression.  Then at week 9, the depression came back with more anxiety.  The psychiatrist upped my Prozac to 40 mg 1 X daily.  I feel that I am getting better.  The depression is lifting, although I still have panic attacks once in awhile."


"To anyone scared of taking this infamous drug (which I was) - you won't lose your sobriety, it just slows down your brain. This means it's great for situations where you risk creating phobia instead of familiarity (new places, new people). I'm armed with all the tools I need for knowing what my body and brain need as things happen (self-reassurance, gratitude, understanding, catching my own cogs before they turn, time out, etc) but you can't always choose when sensory overload will happen. As a pre-emptive measure this will be a useful tool for me when I know things'll be too handle even with an arsenal of knowledge to tackle the triggers."


"I have been using Veltin for a few months for acne and layers of skin and ingrown hairs. It is the best topical treatment I've ever used. Anyone serious about their skin has to go through the time of having ugly cystic acne come out. The reason some people don't give it 10 stars is because you breakout initially but if you are educated about skin, then you know you have to break out first for you skin to get better. I have been very depressed because my face got so bad I looked like a different person and still do, but Veltin is helping me get my face back."


"I was given Lyrica for Anxiety due to Alcohol Withdrals, not only did it work great on the anxiety but it ceased my cravings, now I am living the sober life."


"OMG!OMG! I am so relieved to know I'm not the only one going through this excruciating burning and itch!!! I bought the Monistat 3 day treatment. I am on day 2 and as soon as I inserted the cream it burned like crazy and the itching was unbearable!!!! I'm dreading my last application tomorrow night. But I hate hate hate this intense itching and burning sensation. Good luck ladies!!!"


"I was diagnosed bipolar after suffering a mental breakdown in college which left me institutionalized used for 2 weeks. Before my therapist prescribed me lamictal (100mg) and Klonopin (.05mg) I was a total mess. lamictal truly saved my life. It helps me act less irrationally and impulsively, hold a job for longer than 6mons, maintain healthy relationships with loved ones, I feel more focused and driven. I have had no negative side effects."


"I was prescribed Zoloft 50mg/day for anxiety/stress. I had previously taken Prozac and felt it didn't do a thing for me except decrease my sex drive tremendously. I've only been taking the Zoloft for 4 days and was told to take it at night as it might cause drowsiness. First night, my heart raced slightly, felt jittery, couldn't sleep and had to move my legs constantly, also found my hands shaking some during the day. Second night, no heart racing, but still cant sleep and have to move legs and feel slightly jittery, but feel fatigued during the day. Third night, just restless legs and not sleepy... feel tired during the day. I'm going to start taking it in the mornings and see if that will help. I need sleep. No other side effects so far."


"I must take numerous puffs in order to get any relief from ProAir."


"Effective in reducing blood sugar level for 5 to 8 hours."


"After stage 2 breast cancer/unilateral mastcectomy, Took tamoxifen for 2 years, then switched to femara abt 4 months ago.  My oncologist said this was largely because femara is kinder to my kidneys.  I truly hope the femara is doing its job, because my fingers are stiff and swelling, and hurt when I bend them.  I now have 2 - 3 trigger fingers, depending on temperature and time of day, and I truly understand what a reviewer called "Walter Brennan walk"!  Stiff legs after sitting for as little as 5 minutes, & as an artist, pianist & admin, this is definately a quality of life issue for me.  I am going to  speak with my doctor again - he agreed that that was side effect, but it's getting worse quickly, also slight weight gain & low energy levels"

"I've been on this pill for almost a year. I finally just switched to a new birth control today. I have had a huge decrease in my sex drive and that really worried me because I'm only 20 and I have a very loving attractive boyfriend who I've been with for 3 years. I've been trying to figure out why I never want to have sex. It's making my boyfriend Think that im not attracted to him anymore. I realized that I get really turned on when I'm taking the placebo pills so I'm thinking its the active hormone pills. Hopefully the new pill helps."


"I have been on the patch for a month now and it works. No more hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings. It stays on all week and the only side effect I have experienced is mild headaches. The convenience of weekly application is great."


"I have tried 3 different antidepressants throughout my life & I have been on Pristiq for a year now. It worked really well to help my depression but 2 downfalls for me are massively low libido and withdraws before the tablet is due to be taken. Tingling, slow vision, what seems like electric currents going off in my head. Weaning off will be the biggest challenge due to rapid onset of side effects. I have read from people who tried to wean off them & failed because they were quite unwell."


"I absolutely love the fact that I do not have to worry about taking a birth control pill. I have had Implanon since February of 2009 and so far the only problem I have is unpredictable periods. At first, I did not have one, but as time went on I began to have one more often. My periods became normal (every 28 days), and then they began to get closer together...every other week, now it seems as if it has been on for months and will not go off. Considering the fact that I am a newlywed I am considering having it removed."


"If I could give this drug is zero rating I would. Since I take Klonopin for anxiety and oxycodone for severe pain due to extreme degenerative disc disease and facet joint disease in my entire spine, along with 11 herniated discs, my new pain management doctor would not allow me to keep taking Soma (which worked wonderfully) because of the goddamn DEA.  I have been on that combination for years with no problems. I am not addicted to any kind of drug, nor have the desire to abuse drugs. I simply take them bring back my quality of life. I'm dealing with a failed microdiscectomy at L5-S1, which is causing me level 10 bilateral nerve pain from the groin area to my toes.  I took 3 500mg pills, which did not work so I threw the bottle out."


"I was prescribed Phentermine 37.5  On 5/15/16, I lost 8 pounds the first month, i admit I rarely worked-out; however, i had very little appetite. I am incorporating exercise as enter into my seond month on Phentermine"


"I've had my Implanon for almost 3 years. Right after I got it put it I had a period almost everyday for 4 months! Now I have regular periods. I was lucky to have no period. I haven't had weight gain, headaches, my acne has gotten pretty bad but mainly around the time to start. Although it wasn't an ideal experience I still loved it because I didn't have to remember anything or be extra careful. "


"Kidney Stone & Infection as a result... Asked for it specifically after the shot was effective
Works well for me in pill form too
Seems to help with swelling & inflammation too
I am pleased with it. I'd rather be taking it than a narcotic drug too."


"I'm a man with UTI which is much less common than in women.  My Dr. tells me that my case is fairly bad and seems surprised that I didn't complain more about the considerable pain while urinating.  He prescribed antibiotics to heal the infection and this drug to help with pain and urgent feeling of needing to go.  I experienced gut wrenching nearly vomit inducing pain while urinating on this medicine while prior to dosage I was experiencing discomfort to start urine flow but manageable pain that subsided when ending urination.  The primary difference with this medication seemed to  be more severe pain and less ability to stop it than before I was using the drug.  I'll NEVER take another dosage again.  Really, really rough for me."


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


"I've been on Trinessa for a month and half now and I love it. There are so many bad reviews out there, I was really scared to try it but I'm so glad I did. I haven't had any negative side effects except for sore breasts but it's not even bad. I don't feel the soreness unless I press on them. I was on Necon 7/7/7 for a month before Trinessa, but it made me break out horribly. Trinessa started to clear it up the first week. Now my skin is almost all clear. I don't have mood swings or headaches because of it. Birth control pills affect every woman differently so you should definitely try it before deciding it's no good."


"My knees hurt to walk, my feet hurt to stand...I couldn't take it anymore....I went to doc and weighed in at 287.8...3 days later and I am already down 7.8 lbs.  No exercise yet but will when get in the 260's.  I feel better already and can't wait to loose another 60."


"I have had 6 colonoscopies.  The prep for the previous 5 were terrible and I was really dreading this one.  I was very pleasantly surprised to find the suprep was not bad at all, especially using a lemon slice to suck on after each drinking.  I will no longer dread the prep for a colonoscopy."


"I have only had Implanon since December 6th.  At first, I was super excited because I would not have to worry about birth control, I could have a stress free sex life with my husband.  Well I began my period that morning before the implant was in.  I figured, 5 days, and I would be okay.  My periods have never been just "light days", but that is how this one was.  But, it lasted for about 2 1/2 weeks.  I spent a lot of time reading reviews and trying to determine if this was normal. After reading, I was convinced to wait it out and see if it would go away before contacting my physician. That was great advice. Right now, I feel great. no other effects at all!"


"I am pregnant. I don't think it works."


"To be honest, I can't tell you if it helped with the prevention of migraines or not. I have had chronic migraines for 15 years now. They are accompanied by loss of feeling in my hands, aura, and sometimes my words come out as gibberish. I have tried just about everything from medications to natural remedies for my migraines. When my new neurologist suggested I take Topamax I thought that I would finally be rid of my migraines. I didn't even last a week on this medication though. I couldn't stand for more than thirty seconds without being dizzy and having shortness of breath. My stomach ached and I had a tingling sensation in my hands. I also had a slight fever. My doctor wanted to attribute all of these things to the start of a cold."


"My HB level was six but with the use of trihemic I was able to get it back up and maintain it at over twelve."


"NuvaRing is the only birth control I've ever used (other than condoms) and so far I like it. It's a simple process to put it in and take it out and I love that I don't have to stress about it every day. I used to have unpredictable periods so I LOVE knowing when it's coming every month. Negatives. I have experienced some serious PMS symptoms since I've been on the ring (not every time but I think it's getting more frequent) like irritability and general emotionalness, some pretty severe cramps (which I rarely got before), and tiredness. Recently, I had a super heavy flow during my period plus cramps. I've been getting some headaches and back pain too but I'm not sure it's because of the ring. I've been on NuvaRing for about 6 months now."


"I have only been on Lexapro 10mg for 5 days, but already my anxiety is better. I am a 16 year old, 5'8 female, 280lbs. The side effects were pretty bad the first 3 days or so, nervousness, increased sweating, nausea, headaches, etc., but I'm definitely starting to feel better. One positive side effect is that my appetite has decreased dramatically. Sometimes I have to make myself eat, and I can't eat as much as before. Of all the side effects, I hope this one stays!"


"This medication made my 15 year old son wet his bed on numerous occasions until I had his doctor take him off it."


"I am 67 years old, postmenopausal for 9 years, with typical vaginal dryness but no other issues. No problems with either Vagifem tablets or Estrace cream in the past. I had more vaginal discharge with Yuvafem. After 2 months on Yuvafem I developed vaginal spotting, fever, and a kidney infection! Was treated with oral antibiotics, and within a couple of days the vaginal spotting stopped as well. My GYN has since found a benign cervical polyp and attributed the spotting to that, but I'm not convinced. I have never suffered from UTIs so this was too much of a coincidence. I believe the excessive discharge from Yuvafem led to bacterial overgrowth, spotting, and subsequent urinary tract/kidney infection. I'm back to Estrace cream."


"Sertraline (Zoloft) works great for panic disorder. It may take anywhere from 2-3 weeks to start working at a functional level. Of course, with any of these medications side effects may occur and vary with each patient. One of the main side effects of SSRI's is sexual dysfunction; however, I personally haven't seen much of a difference regarding this common side effect, apart from lasting longer in bed (which is great for her). Overall, this medication is good for panic disorder, not so much for depression, as far as in my case. Remember, everyone is different and respond to these medications differently."


"Also OCD/GAD/Tourettes. I am an addict. I was a Heroin user and have been abstained for nearly 10yrs. When I went to Federal Prison they took me off a combination that a very accredited Mental Health Team put in place. When I arrived I was stable. They DC'd all meds cold turkey esp  60mg paxil and Klonopin. Months later I attempted Suicide on 3 different attempts. Swallowing 200 Tylenol, Cutting a main vein, and hanging myself which were no cry's for help. I had lost the will to live.  They put me on 600 pills/ mo instead of the right drug. I developed Seizures, something I never had. After years of reaching out I accomplished the anomaly, I was put back on. I send this from the ICU with Diverticulitis which is a direct result of Anxiety."


"Take this for Neck Spasms after surgery. Taking now for 2 years. Had major surgery. Do not think this is good for me, anyways. I can not stay awake when I take it, thus, I have to take it only at night, and cannot drive, and please do not drive if you take this medication as it, for me, puts me right out. Told 3 doctors this, they will not give me another med for neck spasms and cramps so I use it as I can. It helps, but does make me dizzy and extremely sleepy. If you have sleep Apnea, be VERY cautious!"


"I have been on this birth control for approximately 7 months. I really like it ( for one reason, no period!) This concerned me at first because a period shows you that you aren't pregnant and also it is what our bodies naturally do. However, no cramps or anything like that is great! I changed to this pill because I was having some of the more severe side effects from ortho tri cyclyn lo. I do like micronor. However, since taking this pill I have back acne like crazy!!! I am 21 and am blessed to say have never had acne in the past. After 2 or 3 months of taking micronor, I broke out on my back and I'm talking 10 or more bumps at a time! It's awful. Lately though, it is less severe. Only complaint. Satisfied overall."


"Day one, nausea, stomach pain, and when I woke up, horrible body pains, muscle pains and gas and bloating in the stomach.
I am now on day 8 and the body pains are still here. My stomach looks like I'm pregnant at all times. I can't sleep at night, I wake up 3-4 times a night. Nausea is gone, stomach pains are rarely there. Still have dull headaches. Don't know if I have gained weight. I seem to have slight trouble with my breathing. I do seem to be calmer and a bit less depressed but I don't think it has helped my bipolar systems as of yet."


"I'm a 50 year old former alcoholic, sober for 23 years. While an active AA member over these years I've found that I still suffered from extreme shyness and anxiety around others.  Doctor gave me some samples of Lyrica for Restless Leg Syndrome and I found that it made me quite sociable, talkative and able to let go some of my inhibitions, but without the sloppiness and horrible side effects as something like alcohol.  I've tried Benzos and found they just made me feel dulled out and depressed.  Lyrica, used periodically (a few times a month) never fails to brighten my mood and make me feel a bit closer to people.  On the downside it also makes me feel closer to food. It's very helpful for me."


"I took this medicine about 3 years ago and I went from 230 lbs and then at the end of the 3rd month I weighed 140 lbs. I was so excited that I had lost the extra 90 lbs that I had been carrying around since 6th grade that I had better self esteem more confidence in myself and became a stronger person in general. Then In 2007 I went through a nasty divorce and I gained all the weight back. I'm 219 lbs now. I am going to get back on the medicine because I know that it works. I highly recommend this diet pill."


"I took all sorts of meds to test with most horrible side effects.  Finally one day my doc had me try Trin 20 mg and my life changed. I read negative reviews and was scared but I have had no side effects except for some weight gain. I had a family member that got severely sick and I was by their bedside for 3 months though I would get depressed I never had a dark dip (you know what I'm talking about) I bounced back quickly. I recommend trying this. Just try and in a week u will know. Drug is super expensive. Use coupon. Call the Pharma company.  see what happens... it may just change ur life. Oh... forgot to mention that I just started my own business after years of working for idiots getting fired. I doubt I could do this without this med."


"I have been taking Megace, in conjunction with Xeloda for the past year to help treat my Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer.  Since my tumor is estrogen feeding, this medication takes the estrogen out of my system.  Tumors have CONSIDERABLY shrunk since I've been on this medication."


"I have had Bipolar Disorder for over 15 years and have had seven hospital admissions.  I was put on Lamictal about 4 years ago when I had a transplant as my previous meds interacted with my anti- rejection drug. Lamictal is the best medication for Bipolar Disorder I have ever been on.  Since I've been taking it my mood has been very stable and I feel like I have all my normal emotions back.  I've also kept out of hospital even with all the stress of my physical problems and no side effects."

"I started taking Stribild in November so it has been almost 3 months.  The first two weeks I felt like I had a very mild hangover, a bit headachey and queasy.  But very mild.  It did not affect my work or anything else.  After the first two weeks those symptoms went away entirely and I haven't had any side effects whatsoever, despite traveling and having a very active life.  Before Stribild my CD4 was around 400 and my viral load set point was around 170,000. My last test my CD4 was 1201 and my viral load was under 200.  I have insurance and a card from Gilead that pays my deductible, so the cost is zero.  If you can I would not delay or put off going on medication."


"I have had Skyla for over a year. The insertion was not as bad as I was expecting, however, I had a child a month prior. The only complaints that I have are the terrible acne and the difficulty I have had losing weight. I have not gained any weight, however, I have had a hard time losing the weight that I wanted to (only about 10lbs). Overall, the reason that this is available is for birth control. It has been extremely effective for what it was meant for."


"I LOVE EPIDUO!!! I have had really bad acne on my forehead since seventh grade and i got epiduo the summer before my freshman year. I tried everything the drugstore had from Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, and Yes to Tomatoes but they all just dried out my skin and in some cases made it worse. The first week of using epiduo, i noticed my really bad breakouts reduced in redness and size. Im still using it a year later and whenever i have a new pimple or really bad breakout, i put it on once a night and its almost completely gone a week later. The great thing is that it last you a long time since you really arent supposed to use that much at one time. I would definitely recommend asking your dermatologist about it."


"I was given this medication after battling a bad sinus infection for 3 weeks now. The med helped my cough for maybe the first day, afterwards I have been dealing with bad headaches and going on two days without sleep. Needless to say, after going to the doctor numerous times I'm still coughing (dry cough), sore throats, chest congestion & painful chest due to all the coughing at night. Looking forward to a quick recovery soon. I'm on my 2nd dose of steroids and antibiotics, I need relief!!"


"I have had the Paragard IUD for about seven years now. The first few periods where really tough. I considered removing it. After a few months my periods were no different than how they were before. I can understand initial heavy cramping and bleeding that a few have mentioned. For me it did subside. My periods are relatively regular give or take a few days and last about 5 days. Not having to even think about birth control is such a luxury for a married person who does not want to become pregnant. Depending on the time of the month the string can hang a bit out of the cervix which can be bothersome (yes I check) otherwise I have no complaints. I'm afraid it will hurt during removal though. :/"


"This is the 1st time I have taken Phent. Started 6 wks ago on 15 mg + w garcinia gambogia and I felt great and full of energy for 1st 2 wks. I am 5'2" and was at my highest weight 162 lbs. I have been going to the dr every 2 weeks and he also kept me on a diet. Low carbs, lots of veggies, fruit was ok. He has kept me on specified diet plans.   No more soda, or juices, or sweets. At 6th week he increased my dose to 30mg am +15mg noon. My insomnia is bad and I'm more jittery. So I cut off lunch dose off until I feel better. I am now at 147. Not as much energy but not sleepy. Dr kept me on lower dose because I have meniere's disease and my migraines are bad. I haven't had any episodes of vertigos or migraines since on meds."


"I have a muscle disease and small fiber neuropathy, without this medicine I have 0 quality of life it is incredible.  I tried every medicine in the book and this is the only medicine that give me my life back.  Otherwise I would be spending it in bed or on the couch!!! Thank god for it!!!"


"Before this IUD I was on the pill for about 3 years. I have now been on this IUD for 5ish months and I was told that my period would lighten and maybe even go away and cramping would be minimal. While I was on the pill my period was 4 days and didn't have much cramping. When I was getting the IUD I was SO excited to maybe not have to deal with a period anymore??? I got my hopes too high because now my period is 8 days if I'm lucky and the cramps I get are almost unbearable. And not to mention the pimples I now get... I love the IUD because of how effective it is and you don't have to worry about taking a pill at the same time everyday, but oh my goodness every time I get a cramp I want to cry... I wish I was as lucky as some other girls"


"I had taken Micardis for about 3 years, starting from 40mg and recently 80mg. My doctor said the drug also helped prevent cardiovascular disease. The initial 40mg went well without any side effects. Blood pressure was consistently 130-140/80-90. A few months ago when I turned 38, during my routine blood pressure checks, I noticed that it was 140-150/90-100 even with the 40mg pill. Monitored this for about 2 weeks and it remained thereabouts. After consulting my doctor, he recommended a higher dosage of 80mg. It worked, and the pressure stabilized at 70-90/120-140. However, I did notice a slight discomfort in my respiratory tract or somewhat a mile heartburn (I think!)."


"I was a 2 pack a day smoker . I knew I needed to quit but couldn't by myself. Chantix gave me the help I needed to quit after 41 years of smoking."


"I started using this product when I became serious with my boyfriend. I'm very scatterbrained so using it has been amazing in regards to never worrying about missing a pill. I can just leave it in and not worry. After being on it for only 3 months, I noticed an extreme weight gain, loss of sex drive, virtually no vaginal fluid, breast tenderness, anxiety, and severe mood swings. But I stayed on it, hoping it would pass. It hasn't. 2 years later, I'm only on it for convenience. I'm switching this week."


"been taking this med for over one year now originally my doctor prescribed it for Kidney stones which now helps with my prostrate and bladder issues  allowing me to have a normal urine flow. Also at one time noticed within a day or two of not taking the med began having a urine flow issue with a noticeable shrinkage in the penis while attempting to urinate. Once back on the medication all issues seem to return back to normal. I take the med in the mornings with all my other medications and supplements and do not experience any side effects by doing that."


"This drug makes me dizzy and light headed in about 5 hrs after. That is why that you take it at bedtime when you can and always on a empty stomach. The amount 600 mg in Atripla is not necessary for the same medical effect. The latest study in The Lancet, showed that 400 mg a day as working just as well as 600 mg with less side effects. Also CD4 counts are slightly improved on 400 mg vs 600 mg as well. I take 400 mg a day and I have experienced a marked improvement in being able to tolerate this drug and reduce my dizziness and light headed and possible nausea with the vertigo. I take this with one truvada a day.

"Had two heart caths to fix a blocked right artery but the Docs were unsuccessful.  I've been on Ranexa for about a year for angina pain. Started on 1000 mg twice daily but after a couple months I began to get dizzy spells. So I cut back to 500 mg twice daily and I still have no angina pain and now no dizziness. Tried to cut back to 500 mg once a day, but angina came back. So Ranexa definitely helps. I'm now back to taking 500 mg twice daily."


"After transitioning into university I had a really horrible time with anxiety. I started to feel down all the time and couldn't stand it. First I was given 10mgs and I worked well for the first two weeks, then I just felt worse. Been on 20mg and that is the perfect dose for me. I feel normal again, it's great to feel the way I used too."


"I took 2 Dulcolax for mild constipation and 5 hours later was hit with severe abdominal pain and sweating for about 45 minutes. It was the first time that I had used this. I was about to leave for the emergency room and it subsided.  My daughter read some reviews on Dulcolax and found that several people were affected in this way. I would definitely stay away from this product. It did relieve the constipation this morning."


"1st use.  Worked well to achieve and maintain erection.  I'm one of the folks that got significant side effects with 10mg, and am on lisinopril for blood pressure. 12 hours after taking Levitra and blood pressure meds, my blood pressure went up, mild headache throughout the day became severe, and significant stomach flu symptoms.  After about 4 hours, symptoms subsided.  Woke up next morning feeling like day after the flu. Dr. advised taking half BP medicine in the morning, half in the afternoon, with Levitra somewhere in between.  The BP medicine wearing off combined with residual Levitra likely cause of symptoms. Think next time will try 5mg."


"I have arthritis, carpal tunnel and fibromyalgia. Wonderful for localized arthritis and carpal tunnel pain, not very good for fibromyalgia pain.  Used primarily on wrists, elbows and hips but have also used on neck/shoulders and knees.  Literally numbs the area.  Numbing sinks below the surface relieving joint pain.  Especially effective in my hips, allowing me to get sleep.

They cause a mild rash especially if I forget and leave them on to long.  They also come off easily. Take a good shower before applying and they stick better.  I wear breathable elastic braces on hands and elbows to keep them in place while I sleep.

I love these things, they greatly improve my quality of life and ability to function with virtually no side affects."


"All my muscles and joints got stiff 2 weeks after taking it and I never went back to feeling normal, always stiff and achy."


"I have been taking Junel Fe for 1 compelte year after switching from loestrin because of the expenses. Personally it did great for me for preventing birth control. But I gain 18 pounds and always have food cravings. My breast gained 2 cup sizes and are always sore...it's hard to sleep. My emotions are all over the place I can be fine one minute then I am angry and crying my eyeballs out the next for no reason. My anxiety increased severely and I wwaaas depressed. My acne got worse and my periods were awful. Obviously this pill wasn't for me. I am finishing my pack and then starting a new one that my doc prescribed. It's the generic for Yaz which has me worried. But I will give it a try since I know my doctor would not reccomend if  not safe"


"Had zero effect except impotence. This drug is over rated."


"I was given this medication for fibromyalgia. Now at 21 years of age I am having heart problems. The first medication they took me off of after the heart problems surfaced was Amrix. Upon further research and communication with Amrix representatives I found that this medication is not supposed to be used for over a period of 3 weeks. Something my doctors obviously were unaware of. Just letting everyone out there know in case they find themselves in a similar situation."


"I recently did the Suprep in preparation
for a colonoscopy. I read all the reviews and
Was so nervous about taking Suprep.
It tasted so much better than my past preps,
Golightly and Movi Prep. The taste was not bad at all and it was so much better than
Ingesting Golightly.

It was suggested on this forum to taste a banana popsicle in between gulps with a straw  and that worked well.
I would recommend this prep. The Doctor’s Office said I had to mix the SuPrep with water."


"I had uterine ablation and Mirena insertion under general anesthetic 5 weeks ago. I am SO happy I did. The only side effects I've noticed so far are a few small breakouts (I had cystic acne all through my 20's, so I was very concerned about this)-- but it seems all settled now and my skin is clear again. I had several friends and doctors recommend Mirena to me. I was hesitant and tried naturopathy first to regulate my cycle and help with ovarian cysts etc, but nothing worked enough to get my iron up. So glad I tried this. I feel like it's improved my quality of life so much already. I would recommend to anyone concerned about pain of insertion, to ask your doctor if insertion under conscious sedation is an option."


"I have acid reflux caused as a side effect from a cancer medicine I can't stop taking yet. I have tried several GERD treatments, Dexilant is the only one that makes me feel "normal." I have been on it for 60 days and have developed a constant, dull headache and intermittent SEVERE leg cramps (more like seizures as the muscles become rigid and inflexible). I would rather have the reflux symptoms than the sleep disruption and pain. Additionally, my insurance only pays $15.00 toward it and dexilant "never pay more than $20" coupon brings it down to $170.00 a month."


"I started taking Fosamax for Osteoporosis and I have had a low back pain and body aches the first week, and on the second week I have had severe headache that lasted over two days, now its a dull headache. I'm not to sure on this medicine, I'm worried about the side effects. I hope the effects get better not worse."


"I have been suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome for 10 months. I was a prisoner in my own house and lived like I was 80 and I am only 43. I had to stop working, driving and going anywhere that I had to stand or walk. Last week, I went to a new Neurosurgeon and he prescribed Fioricet. I take 2 tablets every 4 hours, but as soon as it gets close to that 4 hr mark the pain comes right back. Luckily, it only takes about 15-20 mins before it kicks in. I called my Dr today and said I love this medicine. I finally feel like I am claiming my life back again. My only worry is that I am going to have to stay on this medicine for the rest of my life. "


"I have osteoporosis at age 49. I had reclast on March 5, 2015. The side effects that I have experienced have been extreme. About 4 hours after the treatment I felt a crushing sensation from shoulders to hips, difficulty breathing. Movement made it worse. Went to ER, Drs. administered by IV, Benadryl and steroid. I have experienced bone pain throughout my body, at times not able to move without pain. That has past after 2 1/2 weeks. I have extreme tingling, itching, redness in my entire body. Doctor put me on prednisone and hydroxyzine. This has not helped me. I am unable to sleep due the itching. Has anyone else had these side effects? If so then what did you do to take care of it."


"I asked my Dr. 2 years ago to prescribe this and she didn't want to. She put me on Wellbutrin instead. Well it did absolutely nothing for quiting smoking. Went back last week to see about getting Chantix and she did prescribe it. I am simply amazed how this is working! I've been smoking for 30 years and never thought it would be this easy. The only thing I have to do  when I start thinking about smoking is to remember why I'm quitting. Which is a lot right now but completely manageable. Wish she would have prescribed this when I asked 2 years ago."


"I am on my 2nd pack on my third month of pills. I have been on the generic brand of seasonique called Ashlyna starting on my 6 months. the first month as soon as I started I thought it was going to be awesome. by the second month I started bleeding and bled like a heavy period for a little over 3 weeks. called my doctor she said that my body just had to get used to it. the third month just fine and the 4th month as well. The fifth month I started spotting here and there but nothing serious.Now I am starting on my 6 month and on  the last pack and I have been spotting since October 6 and just got a heavy period today and I am not due for a period till 3 more weeks. I am going to wait it out and see what happens. good luck everyone."


"I started taking Latuda a month ago and it is the most debilitating drug I've ever hadi feel like I can't move or have any motivation to do anything. Ive also gained 20 pounds. Im absolutely miserable. Do not take this! It's not worth feeling like a slug all day."


"Works good and helps mobility. you can feel it working in 2-3 days. Also the injection process is quick and pain free. Thanks for the second chance at a bearable life."


"The first night there was no problem. Since then every time I have attempted to use it, it really hurt. I am thinking at this point I'd rather sweat."


"Well it being the only medicine from my problem I felt better after 2 weeks of taking it. I had Interstital Cystitis for 10 years. I thought it was a urinary tract infection and took too many antibiotics. Sadly the pain came back every time. I have no side effects from Elmiron it helps me a lot, also no weight gain or swelling."


"I have tried every AD(H)D pill known so far. I started in grade 4 and went off them in grade 7. I am weird as far as medicine goes and it never worked as intended, side effects for other pills were things such as no free will, not remembering anything that I did for 3 years, no control of self awareness or recollection of my actions, fainting or passing out without warning. I went off the pills in grade 7 due to mental and physical health issues and concerns. Decided to take the pills again because I need them to graduate, started on Vyvasne. It is 1000X times better than any other pill that I have tried over the years. Biggest problems is lack of appetite (went 26 hours without eating without realizing it) started on 80MG by mistake."


"I've had awful cramps and I've had a period for 2 months straight. It's caused me to have period clots (which I had never had before so it scared the crap out of me) I've just felt miserable with this form of birth control!"


"I'm a 22 year old female. I got put on bupropion for major depression. I started about 11 weeks ago at 75mg 2x a day then my Dr. up'd to 100mg 2x a day a few weeks ago. It took a month to start feeling better but definitely improved my mood, less irritable, more energy, more focus. I have more positive thoughts now although I still feel emotional sometimes. Some side effects in the beginning were sore throat, ringing in the ears, and really crazy dreams. They've all gotten better. I have a hard time falling asleep but no insomnia and as for drinking on this medication it's different for everyone but I took it slow, no hard alcohol, just occasional beers."


"I had Mirena inserted 6 months after having my baby. The pill made me depressed and I wanted something long-term so I went with this. I took an IBProfen an hour before my appointment and had no pain during insertion. I bled very little for 2 days afterward, but thats all. So far I love it!"


"At first, I thought it was great- no headache. Then, the more frequently I used the medication to treat my migraines, the more debilitating side-effects I began to experience. I could first mitigate the burning/pain and weakness in my head, neck and jaw and the general feeling of malaise/fatigue by the administration of Naproxen or Ibuprofen prior to the Imitrex, but then, even that ceased to be effective. I finally quit after experiencing total body weakness, a more severe burning/pain in my upper extremeties than ever before (accompanied by fluctuating hot/cold sensations everywhere else), irregular heartbeat and irregular breathing after administration. If you experiencing adverse side-effects- it gets worse! Please, find something else."


"After going through some major crisis in my life, my Provider and I tried a few antidepressants to help me cope with severe anxiety.   Zoloft, prozac, effexor, etc.  We also tried some Benzos, but nothing seemed to work until I stumbled upon Gabapentin  (Neurontin).  A low dose seemed to work for me....around 300mg / day.  It changed my life."


"I had a urinary tract infection (e-coli) and was taking Macrobid, but after a week, I was still having very discomforting symptoms. In previous UTIs my doctors had given me Bactrim and symptoms cleared up within days. I researched the medicine as soon as I ran out of it, and found that it was more effective in preventing than in treating, and users were prone to recurring infections. I promptly called the doctors the next morning and got a prescription for Bactrim. I was fine not too long after that."


"I'm 71 years old and have congestive heart failure.  I had a massive heart attack 21 years ago.  I have taken 50 mg of Cozaar and 100 mg of Coreg daily since each has been available, with no side effects.  Initially my LVEF was about 20.  It is now about 30-35.  My blood pressure runs about 98/66.  I have had no remodeling.  My heart has stayed at the upper limit of normal size all this time.  I feel I owe my life to these two medicines."


"I got my first shot of depo before I got discharged from the hospital after having my son back in Sept 2015. I had my normal postpartum bleeding but was still bleeding ranging from spotting to heavy when I got my 2nd shot. I have been bleeding on and off more on than off so when I missed my 3rd shot on the 23rd of Feb 2016, I was thinking the bleeding would stop but no. I have been full blown heavy period type bleeding for the last 2 weeks. I already have anemia problems and had to have a blood transfusion after I had my son. So this nonstop bleeding is not good but I can't get it to stop and can't go see a doctor cuz I no longer have insurance to do so. I will not be going back on depo for sure."


"I've been on Contrave for almost 2 weeks now. Lost about 5lbs. Have not had any bad side effects but energy levels are low. Looking into trying low carb diet to see if it helps with more weight loss."


"Worked well for me with no side effects."


"My husband is diabetic and takes Victoza. He has lost a substantial amount of weight since he has been on it and he eats CONSTANTLY!  We have had to buy him a whole new wardrobe.  I went to the Doc last week and I am pre-diabetic and have been on Metformin for about a year.  The Doc suggested I take Victoza to help me lose weight and bump my A1C on down. I started out at 1.2 mg dose and so far I just feel a little nausea when my blood sugar drops. I just eat a little something or pop a hard candy into my mouth and the feeling goes away.  I have only been taking the shot for 4 days but I have already lost 3lbs.
I will check back after a few weeks with an update."


"first of all like many of you who don't want to get prego and already took plan b but is freaking out not knowing if it will work or not I assure you that it will if you take it within the 12 hrs.
I used a condom with my boyfriend but it ripped and I was really scared cause he obviously came inside me , and it never happened to me before so I panicked but I knew I could do something to prevent pregnancy so the next morning I went to the pharmacy and took it right away and well all I had to do was wait to get my period.   I even took pregnancy tests but after two weeks I got my period and all I'm going to say is that it works. So don't freak out."


"My experience with the patch so far, IT IS AWESOME ! I'm on day 2 of the patch. I've started it on Sunday, Aug 4th, so I did a Sunday start. So far, day 1, I got no symptoms but an increase in sex drive and I wanted to eat everything in my house. So far so good. I'm hoping to increase my cup size hopefully."


"I took this medicine after having many urinary tract infections in the past year. I usually am prescribed CIPRO but this time the nurse at the minute clinic CVS told me to try this. Little did I know how much worse I was going to feel. It did help with the UTI which then later became a yeast infection...but I became very weak, had a fever, no energy and went numb from my knees down my legs. I could not feel circulation in my legs."


"I got the Nexplanon inserted on October 3rd, 2014. Insertion was much easier than I thought it would be. Only bad part is I'm allergic to adhesive so I broke out bad where the bandaid was and still have some scarring from that. I had been on the pill for 2 1/2 years and taking it every day was a hassle to remember. The first day I have the Nexplanon my hormones went CRAZY. But after that everything was fine. Super happy no weight gain (if anything I lost weight), my mood swings have almost stopped and I'm not pregnant. I just started spotting a few days ago. Very light. Not enough for a tampon just a small pad. I noticed I have been slightly more emotional but nothing compared to how it used to be while bleeding. So far so good."


"Have been hiding excessive sweating for ~2 years now ... didn't sweat at all after the first application of Drysol!  It did tingle/itch for about 15 minutes, but definitely nothing to stop using it for!  On day 3 and haven't had a single drop of perspiration and have not had to use another deodorant (although I think I might get one to dab on in the mornings just to make me feel better. BEST PRODUCT EVER."


"Rapid  weight  gain,  even when  dieting."


"This medicine was awful. Every time I took it (for whatever reason) it made me feel in a daze throughout the day (not a good feeling). However, this might have been just a bad reaction with my Concerta."


"I've had psoriasis for 48yrs. I had my 3rd shot a few weeks ago. My psoriasis have cleared up 85% and helping Arthritis. I had tried everything you could think of. I'm glad my Dermatologist suggested this to me."


"First colonoscopy so I have nothing to compare it to, but I found my experience better than a lot of these reviews. My suprep was a cherry flavour (like others, it doesn't mention the flavour anywhere on the bottle) with a bitter aftertaste. Upon first chug, didn't seem so bad, but it built pretty quickly. I can definitely see how others might throw this up. I chugged about 3oz at a time, stopping for a few minutes each time and sipping some yellow Gatorade to wash away the flavour. I felt a bit nauseated, but the breaks helped to calm it down a bit. The prep worked within 45 minutes each time, and as long as you followed the soft diet and then liquid diet instructions, it's really not bad. It might save your life, so just get 'er done."


"Invokana has help me to keep my diabetes under very good control. I have had diabetes for 30 yrs. I visit my doctor often.  Lab work is normal.  I worry when I hear of side effects and the advertisements by law firms."


"I have been on 25 mg of Seroquel and .5 mg Klonopin for 11 years for chronic insomnia. This combination has been wonderful, and I haven't noticed any side effects. However, my insurance will not cover the cost."


"My child cannot swallow pills so the chewable Zyrtec is wonderful. Quick tip: to avoid drowsiness the next morning take your dosage by early evening (don't wait until bedtime) by doing so you'll get a comfortable nights sleep while breathing easily too."


"I was in bed, aches, chills, 102 fever, dizzy, all the good stuff that comes with the flu - just miserable.  I tested positive for the flu and took my first dose that evening.  Within a day and a half, I feel so much better.  I still have some symptoms, but I don't feel like I'm knocking at death's door.  "

"I'm 37 and on my second Mirena; so a total of 8 years I've relied on it as a form of birth control.  Overall I've been happy with the device. However a few of my friends had it inserted around the same time as I did and had different experiences.  One had it in for 5 years with no side effects but got terrible infections after putting in the second one.  Another friend got bad acne and had it remove within a couple months while a third, who happens to be a doctor, got very oily scalp and removed it as well.  I still recommend it over the pill anyday."


"I have UC for 12 years, I was in remission for a few years and then all of a sudden I had a flare up, I have been one this medication for almost 2 months. When I first started on it, it helped for like a week or so. I had swelling in my face and joints and sore muscles and headaches. My doctor told me to stick with it so my body could adjust properly and it helped but didnt stop my issues. For the last week I have been going to the bathroom 10 times a day. Me and my doctor are now trying to figure out the next step."


"This ring provided miraculous results for me. I had severe atrophy which my GYN noticed when tissue was tearing and bleeding as he tried to do my pap smear. I didn't even know I had an issue. After a couple months on the Femring he reported my tissue looked healthy and wonderful, had no side effects from it at all. I had to stop using due to insurance not covering but am now on Estring which is the same thing different brand, but insurance covers that one."


"I am so extremely disappointed. I had such high hopes because I have this somewhat irrational fear of IUDs fusing with my uterus, which in addition to my inability to remember to take the pill on time, made the nexplanon seem perfect for me. But these past three years have been horrible! I only left it in so long hoping things would even out, plus its convenient and let's be honest, kind of cool. But the biggest effect I experienced was the complete decline of my libido. It completely vanished and my overall energy went with it. My periods have been so ridiculously erratic, too. Sometimes I won't have it for two months and then I'll get it three times over the course of four weeks. I definitely would not recommend this."


"I've tried Testim, shots, and now Axiron and find that Testim stuck to everything and shots are good, but lose potency near the end of the cycle. Axiron is messy and I can see how two pumps can get into one's system. It leaks everywhere until it dries, however, it seems to be better than the others."


"I have had 3 infusions and I am tired all the time and just want to sleep. My vision has also been more blurry.  I  understand the immune system can be lower on Simponi.  I now have the shingles on my face and I had the shingles vaccine two years ago. I have had RA for 33 years and Plaquenil has helped me more than anything as far as stiffness and pain. Have been taking it for at least 20 years. I also take celebrex and methotrexate."


"On 900mg 3 times a day and it is not working at all for me. In need of something that is actually going to suppress the pain. "


"I am still in the early stages of using this medication. My fourth week. It has really helped with the back pain. Although I still feel pain, it is not continuous in all areas of my back. It is now just if I tweak the source. I did not heed the warning to avoid alcohol the first week and was very ill as a consequence.  I was vomiting for 2 days afterwards and very dehydrated. My own fault. I am going to speak to my doctor to see if we should add to the dosage to try and get rid of the pain completely. I am currently on 10mg per night. Although I don't drink much, I do feel that I don't have the freedom to choose if I would like to drink. So, this is the down side to this medication. However, I would love to get rid of back pain for good!"


"I wanted to love spironolactone. It cleared up my hormonal acne within a month and never let me down. I thought I had finally found the perfect solution to my problem. But after taking it for about a year, I suddenly gained almost twenty pounds. All of the weight gain was in the thigh and hip areas, places I had not experienced weight gain before. Nothing had changed in my daily routine. I work out almost every day and a healthy diet is just part of my lifestyle. I visited the doctor a few weeks ago and she recommended I stop taking it and see what happens. So far, I haven't been able to lose much weight and my acne is already starting to resurface. I've already tried Accutane once and don't want to do it again."


"Super easy experience! No pain at all! It was over with in less than 2 minutes, it was a breeze!"


"Worked okay, and then stopped working about 4-5 months in. Good for anxiety however I gained about 25lbs on this medicine. Hard to be happy and have tons of fun when you look like tons of fun."


"I am 7 years post gastric bypass had lost 90 lbs, had a baby and gained back 40lbs mostly because I was hungry all of the time.  I should have talked to my surgeon sooner.  My daughter is now 4 and I just talked to him last week.  He said it is common and in his experience qsymia works well because it stops the hunger and allows the surgical tool to work again.  Okay.. worth a shot, even at the cost. I was 194 last Tuesday. It is Monday and I am 188. I'd say it works pretty damn well. I have not been hungry at all  I have had some strange side effects. Day 2 was the worst with some confusion and fatigue but it passed soon enough. Today I have some tingling in my face that I am really hoping is related to waxing and not the drug."


"Dry cough a nuisance but this is the best of all the medications used to treat my husband's hypertension."


"I had paragard for 8 years, I was loving it the fact there is No hormones. I did not have any side effects of weight gain, ache, or anything. However about 7th year my cramps on my left side lower body were getting bad week prior to the menstrual cycle, pain level an 8. But more recently my pain was so significant that I was taking 600mg at the bare min. twice a day. My muscles in my buttocks was knotted up down to my frontal thigh. Extreme pain. Missed days of work. I recently had it removed already I feel SO MUCH better.
Love&Hate Paragard."


"This has been the worst experience on Birth Control I've had. I've had this for about 5 months and I have been bleeding everyday. I am giving it the full 7 months as recommended by my doctor, but if the bleeding doesn't stop, I'm getting it out and will not be using any BC for awhile.
I haven't had headaches or mood swings, it's just the constant bleeding that is the issue."
