"I have chewed skoal for 33 years and have tried to quit dozens of times. This is the first thing that has worked, from 2 acns a day to zero. No cravings only the old habits of chewing have come into play, easy enough to beat."


"I had been on Armour thyroid for about 15 years and always felt good.    Somehow the formula must have changed when Forest Labs was bought out although the new company denies that.   I started feeling really jumpy and couldn't get my numbers right.   I've been on Nature-Throid for about seven weeks.   It took some time to adjust but now I feel much better.   I've read that they don't use the fillers Armour does."


"I took Plan B about 36 hours after unprotected sex. I literally was SO scared I would get pregnant and googled everything on Plan B way too much. I'm on birth control but hadn't been taking it at the same time recently. I had symptoms throughout that I was paranoid were pregnancy symptoms like random cramping, lower back pain, and sore breasts. My nipples were always hard! But exactly 3 weeks later, today, I got my period!! It is a few days later than when I usually have it, Don't worry, it works! Trust it."


"This medicine has been wonderful for me.  I have bad arthritis in numerous joints.  I just take one tablet with food in the morning (75mg/day) and it makes all the difference in the world.  I have not experienced any side effects yet and have been taking this medicine for about 9 months."


"I have been taking 150MGx2 along with 10MG of Lexapro to help with chronic depression. Due to divorce this summer, I told my Dr I was feeling more depressed and he raised my dose of Seroquel to 200x2 at bed time. I am a teacher and the last 2 days I have not been able to get up. I start to get dressed and wake up hours later standing at the mirror with a toothbrush in my hand. Lucky for me we don't have students yet but I am terrified I will continue oversleeping and miss my classes. Also, I am having muscle spasms in my right hand, dropping things I am holding, throwing eggs across the room. The only change in my routine is the bump up in dose so the problem has got to be that. "


"The list of diets and health eating approches that I have tried are in the hundreds! No exaggeration! I started the tablets on 4/14/15 at 267.2. Today 4/19/15 my weigh is 258!!!! I'm shocked and pleased with the results.

Follow healthy eating guidelines focusing on portion size and drink plenty of water.
The first two days. I took a 1/2 of tablet. The rest of the week I took a 1/2 30 minutes after breakfast and a 1/2 of tablet 30 minutes after lunch . I did not eat after 7."


"Frustrated with the lack of effectiveness of any of the medications I have been given for this condition - including Elidel. Still experiencing extreme itchiness, oozing, peeling and cracked skin. Over the years more areas of my body is affected with this condition. Painful and unsightly."


"My daughter was prescribed depo lupron when she was about 6 years old.  I would never recommend it to any one. She gained alot of weight. Became obese, has a lot of stretch marks, has high cholesterol, high sugar levels, sleep apnea, uses a cpap machine to sleep. She fights with me to binge eat. I am so sad I feel guilty for using this drug. I wish I would have let her get her period she would have only struggled for a little bit with that, than with a life time of health issues. Who cares if they stay shorter, short is beautiful too, and even big is beautiful but this med gives health problems that did exist. I feel like I scarred her for life :("


"No side effects, effectively reduced my anxiety."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"This medication is AMAZING! After 20  years of excessive sleepiness I can finally make it through the day at work without falling asleep. No more nodding off at the wheel and I can enjoy the evening with my family without falling asleep. I've been in a great mood and have the energy I had when I was a kid.  I just wish I found out about this many years ago. I take 100mg early morning and 100mg early afternoon. I have had no side effects at all to date."


"I had a kidney stone 2 millimeters for two weeks I just find out about Flomax  I took one pill and 5 hours later the stone was out I recommend this to everyone who have a kidney stone that really works Flomax really works"


"I have taken Lyrica for several years now and it has helped me so much with nerve pain. I use to take 200mgs twice a day for spinal and cervical stenosis, scoliosis(spinal fusion )  and cervical and lumber Spondylosis . I put on over 10 lbs in weight when I first started taking it, but with correct food choices , I lost what I had put on and more. I  did at first have an increased balance problem. I now take 200mgs of Lyrica 3 times a day because I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I take metformin 500mg  twice a day and I've got neuropathy pain. I have no side effects with Lyrica now.The other pain meds I am on is a 500mg Fentanyl patch and Arcoxia and Quinine for leg cramps. I live in the UK and get my pain medication free ."


"I have been on Xanax since 2007 when I was watching my mother slowly suffer. I started on 0.25 mg and eventually the dose was not enough. Now ordered 1 mg in morning and 2 mg at night. It works ,however I have cognitive impairment and all I want to do is sleep and my memory is pretty shot. I weaned myself down very ,very slowly and got down to 1 mg daily at night, but then some negative events happened and I was going into a panic attack. I know this medication works, but I would not take it unless it is a must."


"Inserted the 3 day treatment and was okay for the first hour ...but WOW I wanted to itch sooo bad .. It's next to unbearable but I know if I scratch it the consequences are worse .. I can't sleep I can't focus on anything. This itching n burning is driving me crazy.  I need intervention ... Hopefully tomorrow is nothing like this ... Hoping it ends soon"


"The best."


"this drug caused incredible severe nosebleeds that landed me in the hospital, to the point where my bathroom looked like a crime scene.  Had to miss work because of the side effect of the drug.   I had to use two inhalers, one was daily and one was a rescue inhaler due to severe shortness of breath.  This drug should not be on the market, it is dangerous!"


"I love this medication. I wasmin pain for 7 months with no sign of relief. My doctor gave me samples and I could not believe the instant relief I got from this medication. So far I'm not experiencing any side effects and I hope it continues to be this way."


"Got this in on July 2nd, 2010. Have been bleeding ever since. Wonder if it will ever stop. I am angry, emotional, and have no sex drive at all! Not too sure if this is the method for me?"


"I was prescribed 100's and for 14 days I was to take two, with food, not lying down for 30 minutes afterward and then continue once a day for the next 62 days. I find it provokes nausea, headaches,  and indigestion but is clearing up the skin irritation that was the reason she put me on a strong dose. I suspected bacteria because of other symptoms. My face is just about clear and sinus situations I have had for a long time have lessened leading to confirm what I have always suspected that allergies are caused by a poor immune system. I had not heard until reading these testimonies that you were not to take vitamins which I have continued to take and may be causing stomach irritation."


"While the rehab changes your perception no matter how you go into in, the Vivitrol changes your brain chemistry altogether. It's the combination of being on the outside and seeing where you've made your mistakes, knowing that you have a shield guarding you at every moment. Life becomes more normal in that time. It's like a rehab that follows you. Brilliant. When I got off of the shot I had a couple moments of frustration but that was easily solved with my newfound knowledge. Mostly the knowledge of myself. I believe this could save many lives. If you don't want it but take it for someone else, at least you have a month to figure out why."


"Works well but puts on tons of weight."


"This is the only thing that works for fully grown cold sores, I have never tried to use it to stop a cold sore ( the only thing that stop an oncoming cold sore is wrapping a piece of ice in a napkin and letting it melt on the cold sore area) abreva is to speed of the healing process which it does very accurately, it basically just shrinks everytime u apply it."


"I have had good blood glucose control since starting Trulicity two weeks ago. The first four days, I had gradually diminishing minor nausea. Dramatic decline in appetite, resulting in good weight loss results. No other digestive problems."


"Tried it to help with BM but it ended up causing a lot of bloating and with diarrhea. Stoped taking and will try something else."


"Only seems to last for 4 hours."


"Started taking abilify and I noticed my mood became nothingness. I didn't feel happy nor sad. I just felt nothing. Has anyone experienced the same things? Prior to the feelings of nothingness, the night before (after a took it), I started becoming manic then about an hour later, I started becoming suicidal. Took Benadryl and became calm and sleepy. My manic and depression episodes were usually on a day-to-day basis whereas when I took abilify, it shifted within an hour or so.

Also, the side effects were so bad I couldn't get out of bed. Felt very dizzy with headache, wanted to puke, heart rate was faster than usual, loss of appetite, and weak (very weak)."


"It works. Very good product"


"Methadone/Methadose saved my life.  I was taking 3-6 Oxycontin a day intravenously.  Ever since I went to the clinic and started taking methadone/dose I no longer have cravings, or symptoms of withdrawal.  I can finally live again, and not hurt the ones I love."


"I got paragard in February of 2015. It is now October of 2015 and the side effects have yet to subside or lessen at all. That is over 8 months, when the side effects are supposed to lessen after 6. Honestly this would be a great birth control but it made my period much heavier and longer. I used to only get mine for 3-4 days and now it's almost 7 days with very heavy bleeding the first few days. My cramps are much worse, and the worst part is I get my period almost every 2-3 weeks. It sucks. I took this to avoid hormones but PMSing so much is essentially the same problem..... Anyways, I plan to get it removed within the next couple weeks. I cannot say for sure if it was effective in I had high hopes for this, but it just wasn't for me."


"Prozac (10mg) worked great for my depressive symptoms- I had energy and was motivated.  I had no issues with weight gain or my sex drive. It did however, significantly increase my anxiety- I had scary obsessive, intrusive thoughts, along with bad episodes of panic that came out of nowhere.  I was scared to drive, go over bridges- there was always this fear of "what if?"  Everything that I could be anxious about, I was.  I had a very difficult time quieting my mind, and at times I thought i was going crazy.  Very scary experience overall.  For those suffering from depression, Im sure this RX is a God-send, but much too "speedy" for my body."


"Love it when you are pregnant. The only medicine that works."


"I got my implant March of 2015 and had no bruising at all. I had no period until the middle of May and ever since if it actually stops I get a max of 4 days before I bleed again. Not heavy, but annoying and getting expensive with less sex than ever! The point of this was that I wouldn't have to remember a pill every day but now I have to worry even more. I'm getting married next month, I do NOT want to take tampons on my honeymoon!! I'd hoped my body would adjust between March-October but at this rate it might even out to one period a month by the time it needs to be replaced. I've also gained 15 pounds and the face cream I've been using for 4 years doesn't work anymore. Probably going to call them in the morning and go back on the pill."


"I cannot sleep with this drug and am very agitated. Like someone injected me w/adrenaline 24/7 Worst antibiotic I have EVER taken. On day 6 so 3 more days but it sucks. NEVER AGAIN"


"I actually lost weight the first 2 months I have been taking it. My periods were never regular and I have Aspergers which made it hard to keep up with a heavy flow. I noticed my periods were shorter and the cramps were less."


"I have been prescribed this medication several times ( unfortunately) due to reoccurring BV ( from which I have been suffering since I got an IUD ,which I am having removed and my tubes tied) I would say over the last 3 years I have had to take it approximately 6-7 times and am now currently on day 3 of a living nightmare.
While I have taken it before I had mild side effects mainly nausea and fatigue, with my symptoms starting to clear day 2 ish.
However, this time I have never felt so ill. My muscles ache
I can't sleep but am dead tired
Brushing my teeth triggers me to vomit because I am so horribly nauseous. I don't know what the difference is this time but my symptoms have yet to start subsiding as well."


"I have been an Ambien/Zolipem user for years and sleep great with it.  However my doctor gave me Belsomra samples to try.  Wow.  Nothing.  Literally nothing.  Stayed awake all night on this stuff.   Not sure what it's supposed to do but I can't recommend it.  Went back to zolpidem and slept all night."


"I got cold sores since I was kid. I'm 24 yrs old now and get them about 4 times a year due to stress or if I get sick or something. I got prescribed Valtrex 3 years ago and it has done wonders. Once I feel the tingling I would take a pill and literally the cold sore would stop in its tracks. Even if it starts to show a little such as a deep red I just take a Valtrex and it would stop and then I would get some make up and cover the redness and you wouldn't even be able to tell."


"Nuvaring is great. I've had no weight gain and my hormones are the same as they've always been. I have to take birth control because I tend to have really intense periods with no relief except from the birthcontrol to regulate. It's wonderful and I have nothing but good things to say about it."


"Hi,

I've had EPIC D for 3 or 4 years and finally about 1 1/2 years ago was given Questran, which is amzing!  But, like some of the other posts I've read it doesn't seem to be completely effective,

I started on three doses a day but that seemed too much.  Also, the original Doc who prescribed didn't tell me whether to take before or after the meal!  He retired and the Doc that replaced him hasn't told me either, but about six months ago I read (somewhere on the web) you're suppose to take it 45 minutes before eating.  Anyone have any thoughts about that?  A pharmacist  told me to take it right before I eat.    Also, I'm on Creon - a digestive enzyme for pancreatic insufficiency"


"Zyprexa has been a wonder drug for me. After 10 years of serious depression and Bipolar 1 disorder and several different meds this medication saved my life. After 9 hospitalizations and 2 suicide attempts I was put on 10 mg. of  Zyprexa and have been stable for 3 years. This medicine has been a Godsend!"


"I've had moderate acne for about 6 months, and upon being persrcibed this my skin has improved dramatically in just 2 and a half weeks! Spots are drying up within a couple of days - I am so impressed by this!

My sister had the same experience - I dont know if our skin type just works with this cream but it has been AMAZING"


"I love Relpax. I had incapacitating headaches in College, as a young mum and still have them now as a grandmother though not as frequent. If I take a Relpax at the beginning signs, the headache does not progress. If I can't get to my medication early or if I am trying to conserve my pills and try to handle the headache a different way, it still works but just takes longer and I usually have to go to bed with ice bags.  Sometimes it still gets to vomiting stages but not as frequently.  My biggest wish is that the insurance companies would not try to limit how many they think I need. I so appreciate the savings card and only hope I can use it for more than just this year."


"Helped with the pain after getting 4 impacted wisdom teeth out, but only when taken with ibuprofen. Problem was, after about 2 days of a single pill every 3 hours or so, I vomited for another 2-3 days."


"Hi. I took the time to read every review and register. I have been on Topamax since May of '09 it is Dec.5th '09. I was put on Topamax after being taken to the Hospital for a TIA(mini stroke)due to complicated migraines. I don't really know how I feel about Topamax. I still get migraines a lot, and most of the side effects. I've lost 70 pounds. I am weak. But the banana tip is very helpful. My math is shot. And I stumble on my words. Short term memory is a loss. But I will give the medicine more time and try the banana's to help with the side effects. I take 150mg 2x's daily. I started at 25mg's. But I have other illness's that factor in. No one has mentioned TIA's. No one has this from their migraine's? Thanks for the info. It's all helpful."


"I started using Saxenda about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I lost 12 pounds. I try not to eat after 8pm if I am not doing anything and I eat balanced meals, albeit with a little more protein than I should. My carb intake is very low due to diabetes. I am also trying to drink more water.  I work out at least twice a week and overall I feel lighter. I don't think I'll increase my dosage past 2.0 since it is expensive. My goal is to lose another 10 pounds by the end of the month and hopefully I finally be out of 300s by the end of the summer. Will update then."


"I have been using Nuvaring for about 6 months now.  In the beginning, everything was great.  I loved that you could always know which day you were going to start your period. Was easy to use. But over time, I noticed my face start to break out a little more, had weight gain and my vagina was always dry which led to problems within our sex life. My sexual drive also decrease.  As soon as I showed my husband all the side effects, he agreed that i have been experiencing all the side effects listed and he said i was getting off of it asap."


"Every single negative and terrible side effect you will get if you take this birth control. I am 5'5 usually weigh 100-105. I took this for 7 months gained 20 pounds. Doesn't hurt to get inserted. The only good thing about this bc is that you don't have to remember to take a pill. I bloat, cry, bleed, cramp, and can't sleep everyday. When i first started i have terrible migraines but that went away after 3 months. I bled more the past 5 months than i would in a year not being on bc. I don't know why i haven't gotten this taken out of my arm sooner. I get it out in 1 week and will be trying Beyaz or Lolestrin."


"Trazodone really helps me out and I get to sleep within a half hour, the only thing I dislike about it is I feel really groggy in the morning. Other than that it's a really good drug for insomnia. Not addictive."


"Most fantastic feeling to FINALLY be headache and seizure free. But was scratching myself bloody at night. Allergic to the initial weaning on dose(about 1/4 of aimed for dose), blurred vision..had to be taken off.

Can't even attempt a trial again. Want to, but apparently risks are too great. Without the allergic reaction, I'd call it heaven sent."


"Took about a month to work and has helped immensely."


"February 2015 I had an overdose due to depression. I still haven't admitted I was depressed but the anxiety is real. I couldn't go to class when I did go to school. My stomach would go crazy and my mind wouldn't stop racing. I was then put on Paxil. I have been on it for a year and a half now and I'm trying to get off it. not that it isn't working for my anxiety but my emotions are uncontrollable when I try to get off it and when I am on it I feel like I'm just going. I find myself looking back on a week and not remembering a time I took to just chill and think. because Paxil thinks for me. I don't like that so I am trying to get off it."


"Hey everyone,

I'm 23 nearly 24 and i have been diagnosed with PCOS since i was 15 years old and have since battled with my weight. I went back to the doctors today after reading all your reviews and she has prescribed me it! So i cant comment on it yet.

However from reading your reviews I said to her that I haven't had any blood tests since being diagnosed and apparently I should have been tested every year for diabetes... so now have that to come! SO make sure you get them!

Look forward to hearing everyones results and will repost mine when I know more!"


"I have use Baclofen for some time now but have only in the last 2 to 3 months started to have side effects  such a hallucinations, and seeing and hearing things that are not there.  I also take Requip which also give almost the same side effects.  I also take coumidin(Warfarin)"


"I’m a college professor, and was about to lose my job due to legal troubles, and missing work. I’ve been a binge drinker for 15 years. I finally went to a psychiatrist who prescribed this for me. It’s been 2 weeks, and I had a terrible day so I decided to see if this pill really works. I bought a bottle on wine, and had to force myself to drink a glass. I poured another glass, and I couldn’t drink it. I have no desire, and the cravings are almost all gone. This really is a miracle pill. None of those programs appeal to me because they all seem cultish. This pill is all I needed. Holy crap, it works!!"


"I'm on day two, and just took third dose. I couldn't breath out of my nose and had the worst aches and pain imaginable. Woke up this morning still weak but I can breath out of both nostrils now and the aches and pains are finally dwindling a little. I have not experienced nausea related to the meds just the influenza has made me feel nauseated along with the many over the counter medications I have been taking. This drug works. If I woke up in pain like I felt last night I was going to the hospital. Thank goodness for this drug."


"This medicine is wonderful so far and only been on it for 4 days. I already see improvements. I gave it a nine so far because I am still having some brain fog and headaches but hopefully that will go away. I have tried numerous medicines for major depression that has been going on 9 months with no relief. Well this has totally helped. I just hope things keep getting better."


"I'm in my 4th month of Epiduo and I'm finally seeing amazing results! My doctor told me that I would not be impressed with it during the first couple months but to stick with it..and let me tell you that was HARD! I had terrible peeling and redness and didn't think I would ever heal. But then after the 3rd month my skin cleared and the redness went away! I see myself in the mirror and can't believe it's me! My skin looks normal and so much more healthy. I didn't realize that besides the acne my pores were just dirty and my skin was uneven. Now my pores seem smaller and I have a nice glow. I never skip a night of using it because I don't want to ever go back to my old skin. Stick with it it's so worth it!!!"


"40 year old female. 5 foot 6. 168 pounds. Started taking first, lower dosage of Qsymia on 7/14/17 after putting on 28 pounds due to antidepressant use and not being able to get the weight off no matter what I tried. (I swear it killed my metabolism.) Frustrated, I asked my doctor to try this.

On 7/28/17 I bumped up to the higher dose. Been on that for nearly two weeks.

It's now 8/10/17 and I'm at 159.9. I am fairly active. I run at least two miles each day, more if my schedule allows. I count calories. I'm ok with the results because nothing was happening before.

I'm not obese, but I've always weighed the same until the Prozac so I'm upset and I want my normal weight back (140). This seems to be helping. I'll report back after 3 months"


"For the last few years my allergies/sinuses have become really bad, due to the forced dry heating system where I live. I started taking Loratadine 10mg which helped some with congestion but it just wasn't enough. I ended up getting nasal polyps that made my nose bleed, obstructed my smell and sense of taste, caused difficulty in draining of my sinuses, and made it hard to breath in through my nose, so I started using Flonase. I am only on day 6 and the feeling of my skull bursting slowly went away, I can breathe easier and smell again, it already started to shrink the polyps and the nose bleeding stopped, feeling much better."


"I been taking this birth control for a few days. I haven't noticed any change . I needed this specifically for acne and cramps. I took dairy out of my diet because I am allergic to it. I have a feeling this pill put my swelling on my face down . I am in shock how this change my face. I had cyst acne and ever since I taken this pill . My face became less painful . I also been Cleaning my face religiously . I think this pill helped clear up my faster than being two months on sulfamethoxazole which is for my acne . That didn't have an effect . But this birth control . It put down the swelling on my face a WHOLE lot. So this is a life saving pill . Because I was Feeing my face so I can remember the diff what I had before and after this pil ...."


"Did not work well for me."


"Only think that has worked, and I have tried everything!!!!! Saw results within a couple of weeks! I never write reviews but thought this is worth passing on to others!"


"Has really helped with mood swings. Helps control violent outbursts."


"Got up to 40 grams of Viibryd, and finally started to feel good!  (Been on many anti-depressants over the past 35 years).  Last week I had the worst, scariest breakdown, almost uncontrollable anger, sobbing, insomnia and extreme fatigue, body aches and my nerve pain was off the chart.  Today my doctor reduced Viibryd to 20, hoping that will stabilize me, along with my Buspar and Xanax. Now let's see what this week brings.  Oh, I also have Multiple Sclerosis, diabetes, heart issues & arthritis."


"I started Latuda in 2014 which was the first time I had ever heard of it. I was given it because of my horrible bipolar depression and auditory hallucinations I believe it was 60 or 80 mg. It worked really well. My depression was getting better and everything was going on the right path. Than I started hearing things again so they increased my dose to 120 mg. I never heard anything again. I was always very unmotivated and tired lifeless so to say. Then I moved states and they wouldn't give me the 120 mg so they put me on 80 mg. I was terrified voices would come back but they never did. I had energy, motivation to do things, it was awesome! I have tried multiple like abilify, seroquel, but those literally knock me out since I am not manic."


"I also have spastic diplegia, diagnosed at the age of 2. I have less pain and no spasms while taking this medication. It does what it is supposed to do."


"I took this drug for GAD. Of course it did its job.

BUT PLEASE READ ABOUT ITS WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS BEFORE STARTING!!!

I have stopped taking it 4 days ago and you can't imagine the things I am going through. I remember before taking it, I read reviews about this drug. And one of the reviews wrote 'DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. IT IS HELL' and I was like why so dramatic. And oh boy was he not!! I am reading about how to reduce the withdrawal symptoms. And after reading the users who are trying to stop Cymbalta on this page https://www.drugs.com/answers/long-cymbalta-withdrawals-747877.html?page=2, I found out that I have a long way to go.

Please be careful."


"Prescribed this medicine for a skin infection.  Side effects that I experienced were: confusion, sensitivity to sun, could feel some old muscle/tendon injuries stiffening, depression and even had some thoughts of suicide.  These side effects were very real and tied directly to taking the medicine.  I could feel the confusion and depression lift, literally within 2 minutes, when the side effect wore off.  The depression would dissipate about 8 hours after taking the 500mg pill. "


"Alesse 28 is the first birth control pill my doctor prescribed and the only pill I have ever taken and is still currently taking.  I chose to go on the pill because I believe it is best option and the most convenient for me to prevent pregnancy while regulating my period.  My average period cycle is 36-39days and tends to be irregular than most.  I have been on the pill for almost 2 weeks now and so far, so good.  My body seem to have adjusted well to Alesse 28.  The only side effects I experienced were very mild headaches, and nausea during the first 2 days of starting the pill.  I also experienced a little breast tenderness during the first week.  But no mood swings, or weight gain/loss.  Overall, great birth control pill."


"I am a 66-year-old male and began noticing erectile dysfunction problems when I turned 65 last year. I had been using Viagra for the past several months. I had a routine once-a-year physical last week and asked about a prescription for Viagra and my physician gave me the 2-pack of Staxyn. Wow. I took it home and the next night I used it and wow-like a rock! Staxyn works very well, better than Viagra! Staxyn makes my penis very hard and happy, so my lady is very happy too! And without any noticeable side effects."


"I love this med.
I suffer from major depression so I use Zoloft to perk me up and Seroquel to calm me down at night.
I am on the lowest dose prescribed. The side effects I notice are congestion and chills. I am trying to lose weight so I am thankful to not have intense hunger.
I take a while to fall asleep and once I am Seroquel does a great job of keeping me asleep.
No more anxiety attacks at night!"


"Had it inserted 12/3/14 and haven't stopped bleeding. My husband and I got to have sex for the first time in 2.5 months. I have period like cramping all of the time. Insertion was almost painless. I was hoping this would be the answer to my irregular periods after having my second son via c-section 4/14/14."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe for a little over a year now. This was the first birth control I've ever used. I haven't gained a single pound on Loestrin; if anything I've lost weight while I've been on it without trying! When I first started taking it I was moody for the first 3 months or so, but I was also under a lot of stress, so that might be part of it too. My periods were always cramp free and regular without birth control. On Loestrin my period doesn't always come regularly which bothers me, I'm always wondering if I'm pregnant. I think since it's only a 4 day cycle my body doesn't realize what it's supposed to be doing until it's too late, and I'm back on the white pills...so I never really get my period."


"I took Cipro for 5 days.  It made me sick!  I nausea, body aches, chills, diahrea, head aches, dizziness!  My uti is gone.   i took the last pill 2 days ago and the drug hasnt completely left my body yet!  Im not taking cipro ever again!"


"I am taking Lexapro for depression and bulimia. The first week of taking Lexapro my doctor had me on 10mg. Didn't have any negative or positive side effects. I was then bumped up to 20mg. After taking one of the 20mg, the next day my vision was very blurry. It was also getting difficult for me to urinate. (Didn't hurt, but felt like I needed to go ALL the time) I talked to my doctor and she didn't think Lexapro had anything to do with my vision so went back down to 10mg for a week. No negative side effects so went back to 20mg (hoping my body got use to it). No blurry vision this time, but it was still difficult to urinate. The doctor had me get off of it and not even 3 days later I was back to "normal" when it came to using the restroom. Depression was better though. Bulimia..no effect."


"I underwent a stress test at our local hospital in April 2010. Today I received the first notice that this drug had been administered during the procedure from the Medicare Summary Notice. It states that I was given 0.1mg of the injection for which the hospital charged $456. That  figures out to be $133.8 million per ounce (0.1 x 10 = 1mg x1000 = $456,000 per gram x 30 0 = $133.8 million per ounce) It would be interesting to know how much the hospital really paid for this 0.1mg. and how much it really costs the manufacturer to make this small dose."


"I loved Depo. I used the generic from age16-21. My insurance stopped covering the shot. I miss it!

On my first shot of depo, my period got shorter and lighter each month, and on my second shot, I don't think I had a period. I know by the third shot, I trusted depo.

I threw away my emergency period travel purse before the end of the first year and never had a single drop of period for 5 years. Miracle.

No condoms, no pregnancy.

It helped my acne.

My negative side effects were it changed my personality. I felt less social, lower libido (still functioned well), and some doctors tried to diagnose me with depression. I experienced sleep paralysis once every 6 months.

Those negatives don't outweigh the positives for me!"


"I had tons of hair loss and the medication never did anything for me. My doctor finally agreed to take me off it after 9 months."


"I started Lexapro about 4 weeks ago. It helped  anxiety but depression was still there. I talked with counsellor today and he had just gotten back from a symposium on depression. He said people sometimes underuse their anti-depressants. They feel a little better but till not great. He advised increasing the medication to a level I feel really better. So I am going up to 10 mg. I think 10-15 mg may be right for me. Keep trying, this is a chemical imbalance, runs in families. If you R not satisfied w/results then try increasing your dose after discussing with Dr of course. I am so happy to have found this med, my anxiety is already getting better, I've had no major side effects. I wish you all the best."


"My psychiatrist prescribed this for me less than a week ago because for way too long I was sleeping approximately 4 to 5 hours and was up obsessing for the rest of it, making me sad and tense and fretful and hopeless feeling -- not to mention tired -- each day. WHAT A DIFFERENCE ON THE FIRST TRY! Taking 1 mg at bedtime not only relaxes me enough to fall asleep, when I do wake up during the night I'm calm, smiling even, and can't wait to go back to sleep -- which I do easily.  Then the whole next day is just generally better.  I feel like I used to when I was younger and less "hyped out" in general.  And no kidding, this has only been 6 days.  Lucky me.  Klonopin where have you been all my life?"


"I have been using Voltaren gel for months for chronic upper back & neck pain and for chronic migraine. It has been prescribed as an adjunct medicine for me in either case, not my primary medicine. I love this stuff! It absorbs very quickly and usually works well for me for a few hours post application. So far I have had no negative side effects from using it, just relief!"


"I have been on 10 MG Norco for four years due to back and arm pain.  It helps a lot especially in the morning when I get up.  I am developing arthritis and my Neurologist thinks I might have fibromyalgia.  I also have two heel spurs and tarsal tunnel syndrome in my left foot.  And I also take Neurontin  for my feet.  I can't hardly take a Norco after 5 pm or so as they keep me up.  I take Klonopin at bedtime or excess stress during the day.  Nobody that doesn't know me well even knows any of this because I can walk pretty normally."


"Got diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in February of 2011. Started taking Zoloft at 50mg in the morning on April 8 (1 week ago) and my oh my what a difference! The depression is lifting significantly! - I'd say it has gone from a 2 to about a 7 in just a week's time. The intrusive/obsessive thoughts have dropped about 75-80%, the compulsions are all but gone and the general anxiety is all but gone. The next to go are the annoying ruminating thoughts and the difficulty concentrating and organizing thoughts (but since I've been so depressed for so long, I think those parts of my brain had forgotten how to function). Starting tomorrow I kick it up to 100mg a day. Hoping for the continued improvement. "


"I have been taking Lutera for about 3 months now it has been much better than any previous birth control pills I have taken. Some side effects that I have noticed are enlarged and tender breast and decrease in sex drive. I have also noticed that I am a lot more emotional than usually. I have not really gained any weight, which is one of the main reasons my doctor put me on this pill. The pills I have taken in the past made me gain massive amounts of weight and then I would get super depressed, but not on Lutera. I have set an alarm on my phone to help me remember to take it everyday at the same time and its no problem. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Lutera."


"I'm 22 years old and I am a mother of a 2 year old. I got the Mirena in 8 months ago. When it first got place my ob/gyn said it would be a little pinch and it feels like nail clippers pinch my insiders and then it fell out when she was clipping the strings. I wanted to cry but then she hurried up and replaced it and said sorry. The first 3 months I bleed off and on straight. Plus I started to get a smell which I never had before. Summers eve couldn't even make me feel better about it. Since then the smell comes and goes once in a blue moon. I feel cramps every once in a while. Sometimes they are really strong and pain pills don't even help. I didn't lose my hair, gain weight, or get acne. If it gets better I will keep it more than a year."


"Works great for my Crohn's with few minor side effects. As of 2016 Cigna/Express scripts will NOT cover as a preventative med."


"I've been using Ambien (10mg) for about 2 months and it works great. I suggest going straight to bed after taking it. Also, give yourself 7-8 hours of time to sleep. Ambien knocks me out in 15 minutes and I sleep about 9 hours. Feel great when I wake up. I can't turn my mind off when I go to bed so it has been a big help. I'm 54 and this is the 1st medicine I've taken on a regular basis so I was nervous about taking Ambien at first. It has been great."

"This is the best diet medicine ever.  I have been taking this pill for years.  I generally take it two days on and one day off for efficacy and it has worked.  When I first started taking this medicine I did not follow any type of eating plan and would stop and gain all my weight back.  That made me realized I had to use an eating plan of my choice, like weight watchers.  Low carb diet is my choice.  This pill has taught me how to eat also.  I ate sweets all the time before this pill and now eat a sweet only the day I do not take the pill.  I recently went off Adipex in December because my doctor feels my heart rate was high (103, 115, etc.)  I went back on them and monitor my heart rate because I gained 15 pounds.  No other medicine out there like it."


"I've been in victoza for 18 days started with 1.8 since day 1, I was a little weak and constipated for the first 3 days but after that I started to feel good again, so now I only eat 3 little meals a day and I've lost 6 pounds so far from 202 to 196."


"Just passed week four marker on 10 mg, and am experiencing subtle but positive changes. The first week and one half was a bit disconcerting, as the heart palpitations I had increased, and my anxieties seemed to be amplified. I also developed a headache that nothing could touch, that lasted about four days. Thereafter things calmed and about week three I began to notice periods of time when I became more mellow, and my interactions with those around me seem more positive than before. Now that mellowness has expanded somewhat, though it is not consistent, nor do I feel any haziness or loss of focus when needed. No weight gain, no sexual side effects."


"I have been on Humira since January and my pain is worse, especially in my upper extremities. I was told at the time I started Humira that my Thyroid levels were too low (Hashimoto disease). The doctor upped thyroid meds at that time I am wondering if perhaps that is playing a roll in my RA not improving. It is hard to be patient when in pain."


"Worked excellently for insomnia not perfectly since I would like to sleep longer, but I can count on at least 7 hours of sleep. Best of all no side effects or grogginess in the morning. Just good sleep."


"I have been taking this for only 1 week and my side effects are hard to deal with. I am very tired and my pulse dips to the 40s. I am taking 400mg 2 times a day so hopefully at my follow up the Dr will reduce it.My chest hurts on and off but that could be due to 3 cardio-versions in 6 weeks time. I have had A-fib episodes for the last 5 years so this is my last medicine to try. So far it is working. I feel the familiar flutters and then...nothing. I am glad it is keeping my rhythm intact."


"Prescribed 7.5mg daily 4 days ago for unbearable right hip and knee pain (was taking loads of ibuprophen AND acetaminophen 4 X a day...but not happy tho it helped...just not enough and worried about stomach. First Melodicam dose: no change. Took 1 and 1/2 second morning...no change. Took another a few hours later ( it was cold and raining which exacerbates pain): no change. Took a third: no change. Went back to old OTC last night...trying to save prescription for day time. This AM, sun was out and I had NO pain. I have to assume it was Meloxicam. Back to 15mg a day. Love it so far."


"I was not sure how well it worked at first.  Then I was unable to get it for awhile, and was in a lot of pain, trouble getting through the day.  I just wanted to sleep.  Once back in my system I noticed the difference.  This helps my depression, back pain, and the neuropathy."


"Took Zoloft for Major Depression and Anxiety. Started at 25mg and went up to 75mg over time. Didn't have any full on panic attacks after starting the drug and noticed a lessening of my depression, however I had AWFUL insomnia even when taking it in the morning, and it didn't help my general/social anxiety as much as I hoped. The sleeplessness ended up making me more anxious overall and was not worth the benefits."


"This medication has worked great for me so far. I've been taking it for three months."


"I was on Marvelon for 2 years, and then switched to Apri after losing my "student" status, and therefore needed a cheaper pill. I've been on it for 4 months, and although my periods are regular, the side effects are horrible. I have noticed frequent headaches, at least a 15 pound weight gain, and ZERO sex drive. I eat healthy and started exercising, not realizing why I was gaining and keeping all this weight. It's not going anywhere. The zero sex drive is NOT like me, and has affected my relationship. All of these side effects have been occurring since being on Apri. It may work for some people, but I'd gladly pay the extra for Marvelon in order to have these effects go away. "


"I am currently having horrible cramps and constant diarrhea. I cannot even bend over to pick something up without having to run to the bathroom. I am very sore at the other end and my bowel movements are like water."


"I'm a recovering opiate user. I'm used to the occasional constipation that comes from my addiction, but I entered a methodone recovery clinic and this is when my constipation became severe. Long story short, after almost a week and half I was miserable and needed relief fast. My mom had  Docolax and gave me THREE . I went to sleep thinking all would be ok. Only to wake up four hours later with SEVERE stomach cramps. So severe that I wake my grandmother sleeping in the next room. She so worried about me that she is actually in the bathroom with me putting cold towels on my head and back while I'm on the toilet and start throwing up in the trash can I front of me. I finally passed the stool but had diarrhea for 24 hours after after this experince"


"Had surgery and was given Nubain in IV while at the hospital recovering  when dilaudid wasn't working. It un-did all the previous pain meds within 10-15 min and did nothing in their place! I could feel everything as if I was on the surgery table freshly opened. The pain caused me to go into a slight shock rrom the intensity. I had a to be put on oxygen for a few hours and back on dilaudid. Never ever again."


"Cellulitis or staph infection on index finger. Went to doc he prescribed this. It's making the infection (large boil) go down and kind of scab over. Having bad heartburn though, and having headaches."


"28 yrs old

I couldn't take it

I was tired all the time"


"I took Antabuse for 4 months and it was wonderful. Since it does remove the option to drink, it was a huge help.  However, I did occasionally crave alcohol so what did I do?  I stopped taking it for 2 weeks so that I could drink.  It was a huge mistake and I urge anyone taking it to just, as my therapist says, "get that pill in you everyday".  Relapsing in not fun and there is the double-whammy of having to stay sober for a while before one can take it again.  Anyone who struggles with alcoholism knows that is no easy task."


"I personally loved this medicine! After a few days of this my face just stopped breaking out-I do break out occasionally but not to even as much before I started taking this. I would recommend this to everyone suffering from acne."


"Best decision I have ever made .. Previously I used to sit in my house because I was to ashamed to go out but Accutane changed my life for the better."


"Now on Aviane for almost 2 months, I'm somewhat happy... My periods once again follow a schedule and have become lighter. I don't notice any difference in cramping or bloating from before (I usually experience those on the first day and still do). I'm occasionally nauseous in the mornings. The worst side-effect for me is acne. I had pretty normal skin before- dry with one or two breakouts a month- now I'm oily. And no matter how diligent I am about skincare, I wake up every morning with at least 3 or 4 (& often more) new whiteheads. I'm getting frustrated, but trying to give my body another month to regulate. I'd hate to chance switching to something else that's worse, but if this acne doesn't subside, I'm going back to my doctor."


"This medicine treated high-blood pressure, water retention, acne, female/male pattern hair-loss, excessive, unwanted facial hair and is a potassium sparing medicine. It is ideal for sufferers of insulin resistance or pcos. Although it hasn't completely stopped the unwanted hair growth it has been the only thing that has made a significant difference by slowing it down drastically. It has also slowed the hair-loss down significantly in which I am very pleased with."


"I was on Stalevo for a while but had to stop it because it was making me look like I was on meth. I could not control my movements. Uncontrollable movements. "


"I have tried Promethazine (Phenergan), Zofran (Odanestron), and Hydroxyzine (Atarax), and I can honestly say, all those medications DID work pretty good for me. Promethazine being the best, followed by Zofran, and then Hydroxyzine to list them in order. But once I tried Lorazepam (Ativan) it blew all the rest away! It's such a god send. I've always had stomach problems where in just a matter of minutes my stomach becomes SO nauseas it starts to hurt me so bad and I would get dehydraded and would need Medical assistance (ER) But not anymore, Ativan took that all away!"


"Wow! reading all the comments, make me realise I am not alone. Had mine since May the 5th. Small side effects, sore breasts, a bit tired. 3 weeks with no bleeding then since the 27 of may, no stop. My period used to be very heaving, 7 to 8 days straight, but with the implant I wear only small pads. I can't complain that much about the bleeding, no major side effect. We are all different and I am going to give it more chance. I used to wear big pad during my period you could see the shape on my trousers, but now it light, and no baby. I think I could give it 6 months trial."


"Started Enbrel 4 months ago, and 100% pain and swelling reduction in a week.  No adverse reactions except weight gain.  So far, so good!  Has made a huge difference in quality of life after 2 years of worsening symptoms at age 45."


"At first I took this medicine at night, but had no ejaculations, soft erections. Then began taking this medicine after breakfast. Now able to have near normal ejaculations, as well near normal erections. Try taking after breakfast and see how it works."


"Made me feel dizzy and I had dry mouth.  "


"After a blood transfusion I developed an allergy to this medicine. Moments after it is used as a topical disinfectant I experience a severe burning sensation much like frozen dripping acid on my skin. SEVERE  pain."


"My first shot of depo was great, no mood swings or any other side affects other than some very light spotting. Happy with my first shot, I got a 2nd but it didn't turn out as the first shot did. I'm happy because there's no mood swings or really any mental side effects which is why I switched from the pill. However, I was told my period would completely go away or just be light spotting, but for some reason I have now been having a normal/heavy period for over a month now which concerning. I've also been experiencing a lot of headaches, and cramps that can get so bad they'll sometimes wake me up from dead sleep. I'll be going to the doctor soon to get off of this, blood loss is not fun :c don't think this is super common though"


"So I started this pill about 2 or 3 years ago and I don't remember my starting side effects then. But my first time around it was GREAT, I had really bad periods prior to starting this pill and lo loestrin caused me to not have one at all. I loved it and my sex life was flourishing with my boyfriend. In April of this year I had to stop taking it because I lost insurance coverage and couldn't afford it at manufactured price, instead I started taking a pill that brought my period back but it was barable. I started back on Lo loestrin in June 2017 and was already on my cycle from the last pill. I thought once I took my first blue pill of Lo Loestrin my period would begin to ease up but no, it's June 30th and I'm STILL bleeding."


"Do not ever take this. I'm serious. I strongly advise you not to. My doctor lied to my face and said this wasn't causing my problems but right when I came off poof they went away..I'm telling you I had the worst anxiety and panick attacks continously for days when I got to the fourth month of taking this it literally ran my body and mind down to the ground..worst thing ever..do not take thisss!!!it literally made me feel like I was going insane not to mention the depression and all other side effects with it that I never really noticed till I put the pieces together. to "


"Ambien worked well for the sleep issues but if you are having any issues or stress in your life you may want to try and find something else. It makes you very agitated at anyone you may come in contact with and may cause depression."


"I too have found that Nuvigil acts like a sleeping pill.  I am taking 150 mg every morning. It was prescribed to counteract a side effect  from another medication.  It has made it worse."


"I was previously using Ortho-Tricyclen (which I thought was great) before being switched to Tri-Sprintec in January. I have no idea if my symptoms are because of Tri-Sprintec. And what I have to share is much longer for me to type, so I'm probably better off having conversations to confirm my theory or doing more research.

All I can say is that for weeks, I've been waking up to excruciating pain every night in my back, chest, and stomach. It goes on for hours until I pass out from exhaustion as soon as it's over. What I've been feeling since early February has taken a toll on my body and my emotions.

Some reviews say there's a feeling of dread, which is definitely relatable. I've had enough and I'm scared to fall asleep now because I know"


"I started this medication to clear up 2-4 migraine headaches a week.  I have only had one in several weeks of taking it.  I am very happy with the results.  It has greatly improved my life."


"I've tired them all and this one is by far the best!"


"I have been on the patch since my hysterectomy four years ago. I have gradually decreased the dosage and have tried to get off it totally. I am on the lowest dose now and after trying another time to stop, I had hot flashes.  The only downside to the patch is that it is large and beige but it works!!"


"pretty decent birth control, didn't give me any benefits I still got acne that took forever to heal but it  is not as  bad as when I was on orthro tri cyclrn that one gave me horrible acne, also gave me headaches for like a week gonna switch back to thee patch cause it was the only that works for me and I'm done experimenting different pills lol"


"I went on Accutane when I was 18 years old. You have to be on birth control before and have 2 negative pregnancy tests before being prescribed Accutane. Then you have to be tested every month for pregnancy. It took me about 6 months to actually begin the treatment. You need to be very strict and diligent about taking it. You will NOT starting seeing any improvement for at least 6 months (I was on it for a year) and your acne might get a little worse before it gets better. My skin did clear up a lot after I was on it. However, 4 years later it all came back for some reason. Side effects include: very dry skin (face, hands, feet, etc.) I would recommend it for anyone who has moderate to severe acne."


"My doctor put me on Nucynta for lower back pain because I told him tabs are taking over my life and to addictive. He said try this medicine and see if you like it. It's less addictive. It takes care of the pain for about one hour but makes me sleepy so I can't take them at work. Tablets made me not only work more comfortable but feel good to. So if you want to try it just remember its not like Lortabs or Percocets."

"I have been on TriNessa for about 4-5 months. For me the worst things about it are constant breast tenderness (except for the week of my period), and acne right before my period. However, lately the tenderness has significantly decreased and the acne can be controlled as long as I take proper care of my skin. I also get pretty bad cramps, but it's only for the very first day of my period and it's nothing Midol can't take care of.

Everything else I have to say about Tri-Nessa is positive. My periods are regular, I don't experience spotting if I miss pills, my mood is stable, I have no nausea, I'm not pregnant, and my sex drive has increased dramatically.

All in all an excellent pill."


"I've been taking Trinessa Low for over a year now. I'm 19 started at 18. It is terrible for about the first 2 months. Bloating, nauseous, breast growth, drained sex drive from  8/10 to a 1/10. However, it is very effective and forgiving. The symptoms don't go away fully but do mild down after the two months. Still have about no sex drive."


"I began taking Saxenda on 9-26-16 and I went to the doctor to weigh in 10-24-16 and I lost 9.5 pounds. I have had no side effects other than dry mouth. I feel satisfied and full when I eat small lean meals. I did not exercised at all over the 4 weeks. I am going to add exercise for month 2 and see what happens. I have less cravings and always carry an apple with me or have fruit at work to snack on between meals if hungry."


"After breaking up with my long-term girlfriend I started having the worst bout of insomnia in my life. I had always been a bad sleeper, but over about 3 months I was averaging about 2-3 hrs of disturbed sleep a night. To cut a long story short, doctors gave me many different sleeping pills and then antidepressants. Though the antidepressants helped my mood I still wasn't sleeping, so eventually I was given Mirtazapine. After about 3 nights I started sleeping like I used to when I was a kid (I'm 37 now). Felt completely natural without the slightest feeling of sedation. I'm pretty happy as well, though that could just be because, at last, I'm sleeping well. It's been 3 weeks now without a single bad night, miracle!"


"Side effects were awful."


"I am using Otezla and have been for the past 5 months now. Before taking Otezla I only had plaque psoriasis on my scalp. It would get very dry and hard and when I would scratch my scalp it would bleed. The side effects were nothing too hard to get use to. I have loss some weight but overall the plaque psoriasis has cleared up to where it is more manageable and less scaly. On my body which the only time I had a bad case of psoriasis was when I got mosquito bites on my legs and it turned into red scaly patches all over. I used this sea salt scrub every day when I showered and it went away. Now with using sea salt as a regular monthly regimen all over my body. I only have psoriasis on my scalp."


"My 8 yr old has been taking this medication since he was 5 years old. Started at 10mg. Took him to the Doctor to see about upping it to 20mg. While at the doctors office the doctor said he needs 30mg. We tried that for a week or so. My son lost his appetite and complained with his heart hurting. Took him back, put him on 20mg. When he started the medication everyone could see a huge difference in his behavior. They said he was like a different child. Straight As for the past 3 report cards. The medicine runs out near the end of the day. If he has issues that's when it happens. At times he hits himself, makes strange noises, and can be moody. He sleeps well and he is @ 85% in his weight. It has worked for him."


"My Doctor prescribed me lyrica for my social anxiety after having tried numerous other more conventional meds over the last 15 years ie; paxil,zoloft,effexor,xanax, etc  the list goes on and on , and finally (for me)this really , really works quite well. It stabilizes my feelings of anxiety as well as relieves stress related pain . I feel like a different person,  able  to take on life rather than hide and let it pass by. Thanks"

"I have been HIV positive for 20 years, been through many harsh meds, this is not one of them. Need mostly for kidney issues and it did get my viral load undetectable for 3 months. It has slowly been going up, 20,40,50 over the last year. Not looking forward to a change as I have had no issues with genvoya."


"As a rescue inhaler - this one is the best!  It does not cause you to feel jittery like the others do.  It sometimes costs more than the other brands, but it is well worth it.  My son has moderate asthma that is under excellent control, until the dreaded fall allergy season.  He is very active and plays football and being exposed to his outdoor allergies in combination with the physical exercise, causes him to occasionally need the inhaler.  He used to delay using his rescue inhaler because he did not want to feel jittery and he could not stand the taste the others put in the mouth.  This brand gives him that immediate relief, but has exhibited no side effects in him.  I can also testify first-hand as I used it when I had bronchitis."


"I'm 21 years old and have been suffering from chronic abdominal pain and Irritable Bowel Syndrome for almost two years now. I started the nortriptyline about a year ago after countless trips to the hospital to get a grip on my pain. Since last summer, I've noticed a HUGE difference since being on the nortriptyline. There is still some pain, but the medicine really calmed everything down. The only thing that I frown upon is the fact that it makes me very tired. Even though I take it at bedtime. I take 75mg every night and I wake up feeling groggy every day. I'm not sure if anyone else has had this experience and side effect. But I'd rather be tired than in pain, good luck to everyone!"


"My last post was taken down. Been on this for a few months. Honestly we have to stop changing medicine that works, just because of the small percentage that abuse these drugs.
Side effects, dizzy, nausea, severe headaches, which I never had before. I feel numb to the world, tired, and still in pain. Also found out that long term effects of this drug have still not been studied, and there is a euphoric blocker in these, that stops you from experiencing well being. I get it, the well being is what addicts crave, but for people in chronic pain, well being is a good pain reliever, as moods effect our pain.  The medication is suppose to last 12 hours, they don't, they last about 5-6 hours, it also only takes the edge off the pain."


"The sex was great but after that day, a terrible week was ahead. I have groin ache for 2 days and it is still continuing."


"I've been taking 50mg of Sertraline for a few months now. My anxiety tends to worsen in waves (crying randomly, constant stress, suicidal thoughts, insomnia, and panic attacks). Since I can go for weeks at a time managing fairly well on my own (aside from persistent self hating thoughts), I didn't think the medication was doing much of anything. I didn't notice any immediate changes or side effects. I am wondering now if I am having  a worsening urge to self harm? It  is worse at night and keeps me awake. I think it has to be due to the meds."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"It's not that bad,  the taste could be more flavored,  overall,  I just used hard candies to suck on before chugging it down and afterwards.  I chilled my next two 16 Oz bottles of water in the freezer.  It did make me nauseated,  I kept burping like I was going to heive.   To relieve the sore bum,  I put a&d ointment on beforehand,  and used baby wipes without alcohol."


"I have a history of side effects from synthetic hormones and was on Prometrium for a year, but still having very heavy periods. My new Dr. suggested norethindrone might take my period away entirely, but I started bleeding and have been for 12 days with cramps and really feeling on edge! Also having interrupted sleep and night sweats, no libido and my body odor seems different. I'm going back on the Prometrium but hoping this bleeding will stop. I can't wait to go back to not having to bleed every day. Jealous this works for some but it's definitely not for me."


"Injected 60mgs for lower back pain.they said it would kick in a half an hour.three hours later it has done nothing,probably made the pain worst."


"I've been on the lupron shot for almost 2 years now the first six months were the hardest I woke up tired icky feeling and puked. I lost my appetite lost a lot of weight and it made my insomnia worse and my urge to pee worse especially at night. Once the nausea settled and my appetite came back the other side effects were easy to cope with on top of the side effects from the implanon. I haven't bleed at all and had no pain. I got off it for 3 months and some of my shooting pain came back but no bleeding so I got put back on it. I just decided to take a break and I'm crampy and starting to spot. My obgyn said I shouldn't have pain like I was before so we shall wait and see since the lupron is working my medicaid wont let me have a lap to see what stage my endometriosis is"


"Looking at other reviews, mine won't be much different. I compared Nexplanon with the other options and knew there would be a chance that I'd be bleeding a lot. I use menstrual cups which are a good option for this, I think (you can have sex while wearing a softcup, which works for me, and the Diva cup is good for the rest of the time). I've bled 124 out of the 240 days I've had Nexplanon, and I'm going to give it a year and some change to see if the periods even out. The info I got said that some people take a full year to adjust, so I'm giving it a shot. The hormone change has been better for me - after a decade on the pill in varying forms, my mood swings are improved, though my cramps are still hellish. Try if you want. Overall? Nah."


"My Dr. prescribed trazadone for ptsd and depression. I haven't had  a good nights sleep due to my mind racing and thinking of my past. I have noticed I've been able to sleep and wake up in a good mood and feel well rested , I've even enrolled in college and doing great in my classes.Looking forward to the future :) I don't have insurance but my provider is paying for my medication."


"I started smoking when I was 14 years old.  I am 55 years old and smoked 3 packs a day.  Tried multiple times to quit on my own and could not due to withdrawals.  At one point my husband drove me to the store to buy cigarettes because I was having horrible withdrawal symptoms.  Chantix worked exactly as it advertised.  It has been 15 months and I have no desire to smoke .  I have literally had no problems staying smoke free.  I can be around smokers with no issue .  You can ask anyone who knows me that I would be the last  person on the planet who wouId quit smoking because I loved smoking. I quit because of financial reasons only.  Had some vivid dreams but nothing I couldn't tolerate"


"I was admitted into a clinic & was monitored for 3 weeks. After the 2nd day I started feeling a change & after 4 weeks it's still good. Energy levels are up, thinking positively & coping with society & life again. Only downfall for me is trouble sleeping. Two thumbs up!"


"Been on Spironolactone for a month 50 mg x 2 daily, for excess facial (chin) hair, with bonus acne clearing up I'm told. My results so far no improvement on hair. I'm trying not to give up but I have gained weight. My legs, mostly upper thighs, are getting bigger too quickly to be me just gaining a few pounds. I can deal with fuller breasts just not the rest of me. My dermatologist said she never heard of this and try and stick it out 3 months at least, but I see online others experienced weight gain too, shocked she dismissed so quickly.  I'll do a couple more months to see if hair improvement. Plucking and shaving everyday gets old, just don't want to get any bigger in the meantime. So far, peeing yes, fuller yes, heartburn yes, hair yes."


"I took Sprintec for a year, it worked well for me. The reason I went off of it was because I had almost 40 lbs of weight gain. No good. I did have really bad vomiting the first month I was on it (my doctor later told me this was normal)."


"Abreva sucks I don't get cold sores myself but my boyfriend does and every time he used abreva like it says when you start to feel it coming on he'd use it but abreva seems to only make it WORSE and puff out. So some lady said to try GLY OXIDE you can find it at any drug store but it works 10000 times better than abreva. Just thought I'd leave this thought with some of you maybe you can try it too."


"I have taken Ultram for long periods of time. My experience with it was pretty good. It did give me relief from moderate pain due to tendonitis at the same time. It gave me a little bit of an energy boost not sure why. But beware going off of this medicine can be just as bad as going of Vicodin."


"I have been on Portia for about a year now, and it has been great and effective. I am not pregnant and it reduced my period days by about four days. I had very bad cramps before I started birth control, but Portia helped a lot. I would recommend this to anyone!"


"I'm on week 2 of Celexa. Started at 2.5 mg for five days, then increased to 5 mg. So far, no terrible side effects. I do have dizziness/lightheadedness, but I had that before I started. Every now and then I get an intense feeling of anxiety pass through me, but it is short lived. Positives are that I feel like my head is clearer. Mostly more calm. I find myself laughing more. My motivation and tiredness are still a factor, but I am hopeful this medication will work."


"I have tried all kinds of treatments for my cold sores. None seem to help, until I found Retre gel. This product is great! It stops the growth of the lesion from the start. The benzocaine helps to numb the area, which helps to keep your fingers and tongue away from the sore. I love this product and will tell others about it and I'll use it always."


"Like many of you, I COULD NOT STAY OFF THE INTERNET AND MAKING MYSELF SICK WITH WORRY. My experience didn't sound like the typical "spotted a week later" story, so to ease the minds of others out there, here it is: My last menstrual period began June 8th. On the 27th day of my cycle, I had unprotected sex. I freak and get the pill about 35hrs after the fact, because my periods are irregular and I don't track. No adverse reactions except maybe a breakout. A week passes and I start having odd cramping and bloating. Not a drop of blood. Over a week, the cramps turn into more like PMS cramps and I have my period 13 days after taking Plan B. That's also about how many pregnancy tests I took. HAPPY ENDING."


"OMG!!!  It is difficult to describe the sheer insanity that this medication causes.  I have always used the 7 day cream for my YI (which I don't get very often, except with antibiotics), but decided to use the 1-day this time.  The itching that was part of the YI was irritating, but the burning and itching associated with this medicine was unbearable.  I thought that I was going to lose my mind.  The fireants and gasoline/match analogies were right on.  I used it at night and I actually considered going to the hospital thinking that I was having an allergic reaction.  It was like that for four days. The instructions say wait 7 days, but I don't think that is worth it. I still feel the itching inside after 5 days but the lotion says external"


"Had cephlaxen through IV and now on day 3 of ten days twice a day oral tablets. 500m for kidney infection I'm also pregnant. I usually react horribly to antibiotics, this one so far is not so bad all my symptoms relieved after second day, I do have headaches from this med and sensitivity to light. But so far so good. I recommend it but it gets a lower rating due to My headache :("


"I was prescribed to take this for 10 days.  After 5 days I could not handle the side effects I experienced.  I was so exhausted, but the medicine made me so dizzy and nauseous that I couldn't sleep.  And when I did manage to get a few hours, I had the most vivid and bizarre dreams.  I was also taking Flagyl and developed oral thrush.  I would not take Levaquin again."


"My sister had multiple myeloma, she took this drug for about 2 months. She developed a blood clot in her heart and died 2 days ago from a cardiac arrest while she was at the hospital. Her quality of life before this was zero while taking revlimid."


"I was on gianvi for about 3 years or so. At first I really really liked it. It was super easy to take, my skin cleared up, and my periods became sooo much easier as well as I stopped getting cysts. However, towards the end of my taking the pill I began to realize just how depressed it was making me. I began having suicidal thoughts, I was just in a really bad place and then it occurred to me that it might have been the birth control affecting me so I stopped taking it and I have been so much happier, the depression is as if it was never there. Looking back, I miss gianvi. It would have been perfect had it not affected my head."


"I love this.  If I don't take it, I ALWAYS end up with a sinus infection and a trip to the Dr.  When I do take it, I don't sleep as well, but I'm not tired in between.  My major issue is that I am always constipated when I take Allegra-D and my periods are excruciatingly painful.  "


"I’m 25 and have newly diagnosed fibromyalgia and depression diagnosed from a very young age (about 6 y.o) I have always felt a stabbing, “zinging” radiating / pulsating pain in more than 8 parts of my body. I know that with depression and anxiety (which I also have) it comes with the crappiness of muscle pains, general malaise and weakness. Due to kind of “holding myself together” (mentally and physically) on a daily basis , I’ve developed poor posture. Daily habits of clenching my body or hunching to dull certain pains and finding ways to sit that are moderately comfortable, have made me feel like a prisoner in my own body. After a week on these meds, I wake up feeling rested and alive! My body works how it SHOULD and the pains are gone!"


"I have been on the Nuva ring for almost 3 full years. I would agree with many other reviewers- zero sex drive. When I do have sex I have to use tons of lubrication which my body lacks terribly- I am wondering if the ring is what is causing the dryness during sex. I also feel like it causes irritation periodically. I also found that it will sit low and need to be adjusted sometimes. I am really considering consulting with my doctor and getting off permanently. On the flip side- never gained weight, was super easy to insert and forget about, maintained periods, didn't feel like it caused moodiness or was mentally hazardous."


"My first night I applied Hypercare and it burned beyond belief, but I stuck through it.  The next morning I decided to have a trial run, so I purposefully wore a light colored shirt.  To my amazement there wasnt one drop of sweat and no sweat stains.

I am truly impressed with HyperCare and have recommended it to a few friends that have the same embarrassing sweat problem that I do."


"I have bladder cancer and after many BCG treatments the pain had gotten almost unbearable to the point where I was going to quit the treatments. My doctor gave me Prosed DS and Percocet to ease the pain. I am taking 5/325. The pain has been reduced to being very livable with. Thank goodness for this wonderful medicine. I will take it for about 3 days and then will go to Tylenol and the Prosed Ds if still needed."


"I took the medicine for 2 weeks by taking 1 in the morning and another one a night.  I lost a few pounds but the whole time I felt like rubbish.  I couldn't work out as before because I would be burnt out 5 minutes into my workout, I couldn't even do push-ups and sit-ups anymore because I would get dizzy right away.  Perhaps this is a good drug for someone that sits at their desk a day and doesn't move around...thats not me.  But I would get weird headaches that I've never experienced before and consistent nausea the whole time.  I'm glad I'm no longer taking them."


"Excellent Medicine. No side effects. I feel like my old self once again after many trials of other medicines."


"I have had migraines for 30 years.  In the last year and a half they went from 15 day/month to practically every day.  Triptans do not work as an abortive for me.  Propananol is the only preventative thus far that has worked - but it stopped working after 4 weeks.  My neurologist prescribed DHE in the injectible form.  I do not like the little glass vials the DHE comes in, breaking them open, and using the syringe.  That said, almost every time I use it, it breaks the migraine.  Unfortunately, it does not always last more than 4-6 hours.  I can get this at my local CVS (though they don't carry it in stock).  I don't notice any side-effects but I generally take a nap afterward to let it do it's thing."


"I am 3 weeks into my second dose of Simponi. Was on Enbrel for 4 1/2 yrs. with good results then it stopped working.  the numerous side effects following my first dose came close to keeping me from trying a second month. this month i have had diarrhea for 3 weeks but that's an improvement over last month.  joint pain, stiffness are better; but no effect on fatigue so far.  It takes 6-8 weeks to know for sure how it will work.  It is not possible to see results in hours or days. I have decided to try one more month since  my next step is infusion mediciness."


"Had surgery for torn meniscis and as result existing artiritis is really causing quite a bit of pain. This is my 4th day on Mobic and the pain has almost disppeared. I am very concerned with possible side effects but so far so good"


"I have been using this product since 2004 for constipation, it has not failed me since. Painless and easy although it gives me very bad diaherria. Overall a very good product!"


"Took Lexapro for 5 years, gained 30 lbs (am very active), fell asleep at stop signs, very lethargic. Finally spoke with people who had had same effects, weaned off.  Terrible crash, lost 15 lbs.  Started Wellbutirn, had energy, which was wonderful, rages were awful.  I have started Pristiq with Wellbutrin wean; Pristiq 1 day, Wellbutrin the next for a week, then 2:1, 3:1, etc.  I am optimistic.  I feel better just addressing the problem and relieved to find some help.  Am raising 3 children and want better for them.  Worth mentioning, abrupt change of any medicines can cause withdrawal symptoms.  Beware and make sure that you read the signs.  Headache, nausea, mood swings, sweats, appetite loss etc. "


"I give it a 2 because I was no longer constipated within a few hours after taking it, but the stomach pains as many have posted are excruciating when the box says relief is "gentle" and I specifically bought the pink one for sensitive stomachs. I have not yet had a child but it is what I imagine giving birth feels like. I have been doubled up since yesterday because of the pain in my stomach and severe nausea that makes me feel like I am going to throw up at any minute. I am not getting relief from the pain after bowel movements and have been sobbing because of the pain to the point that my boyfriend wanted to take me to the ER. I am trying to stay hydrated with lots of water like others have suggested but it is difficult with my stomach."


"I have taken this in addition to Benadryl for the last five years and noticed that it seems to work within 20 or 30 minutes as opposed to Benadryl which takes about an hour. The problem is if you take it too early before going to bed you may miss the window period and lie awake in bed restless. I've never had any of the adverse side effects like weird dreams or sleepwalking but it also seems to wake me up eight hours after taking it regardless of the time. It's probably the best as needed medicine for insomnia but would not recommend of an everyday basis."


"When diagnosed several years ago with GERD,I tried Prevacid. It helped shortly then break through.  Then diagnosed with Barretts, Nexium 2x a day...same thing.   I felt really bad and was getting worse.  I was then prescribed Kapidex.  WOW... what a difference!  I feel great and have gained some weight.  This stuff is AWESOME!  Finally!!  Thank you"


"For 23 years I have used Prostglandin E1, Aprostadil or Prostin. It changed my whole sex life from quick before it goes down to long and slow. You have to be careful you learn the proper way to take your injection, that is important, and DON'T TAKE TOO MUCH. I have had 6 hour erections that are painful. Take your shots out with you,  step into a bathroom and your good to go 10 minutes later. My wife says it the greatest invention ever. No side effects like Viagra no flushing. My face goes purple on Viagra. Start out with small injections and work up to the right dose.
"


"I use this cream for my son who has a rare genetic skin disorder, a form of ichthyosis.  He gets a severe hyperkeratosis build up particularly around his joint areas.  I've found that it has been wonderfully effective at reducing this build up.  I'm very pleased with the product."


"After two knee scopes, a cortisone injection had a Synvisc-one injection last week.  I was told it could be a month before any relief.  Knee hurts so bad at night I cannot sleep.  So far my knee problems..ie...pain, knee collapse and swelling is worse than ever.  Hope it starts working soon."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in March 2008 and immediately put on Lyrica.  I went up to 100mg and over the course of 6 months, gained 40 lbs.  I tried natural remedies with no help so I went back on the Lyrica.  I was blessed to be a part of a Fibromyalgia group at University of Michigan and got to meet and be examined by the head of their Neurology department who advised me to try Cymbalta.  He sent a detailed report to my doctor and I began on 30mg at night.  That was 4 months ago.  I have my life back- without the crazy eating binges!  I just recently had to bump up to 60mg daily. What a great drug!  I had mild itching the first two nights, but now I don't experience any of the side effects.  The only problem is losing weight."


"I used to have acne simplex and a not so regular period, it would be monthly but it would be way outta whack. I'd start on the first and then I'd start again on the 18th of next month. My doctor recommend me this pill and I was worried about weight gain but I have actually felt like I've lost a little bit of weight within a month of taking it DAILY AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY. I feel slimmer and my face is clearing up! The only down side to it is I have brown spotting, but it's nothing that would cause concern as I was told it was a regular side effect of being on BC.
I'd like to point out I take my BC at 8pm, I'm not sure if taking it in the morning or at night makes a difference for weight gain/weight loss, but I have heard  the argument."


"I'm 37 and was always healthy and pain free till 1 yr ago. I started having pain in my feet and heals, and my stomach & bowels, it got worse gradually. I started having pain in my left wrist, ankles, knee, shoulders and neck, even a couple of my toes also had a fever off and on. I had swelling and couldn't even walk. I had no idea what was going on till I went to a rheumatoid doc and he found out I had ankylosing spondylitis.  He started me on enbrel and I stayed off my feet for a week resting my body.  I got better and better ever week no pain at all. I just now am noticing my feet hurting, one knee and by shoulders and very fatigue .  I'm praying that the medicine  is still working.  It's been exactly a yr since I started the enbrel."


"From using this pill for a year I can say my opinion is firmly that Orsythia is not for me. The pharmacy/insurance switched Lutera to Orsythia and I just went along with it, despite the negative reviews. This past year has been a completely different me, my sex drive was fine, bad cramps only once and then other time from the white week sticker falling off and accidentally missing some pills. But my mood swings became so frequent and awful. I experienced depression and suicidal thoughts and am glad to have switched out of this birth control. I understand everyone's experience is different, but please don't be afraid to switch out of this birth control. Or keep a mood diary if you experience unusual moods."


"After five years of Methadone I am now reducing the doses from three per day to only two per day of Methadone 10 for chronic pain management.  At my age I am knowledgeable of the risk for increase memory loss due to the use of Methadone and age, so try and cut back on the risk of memory loss.  It is necessary to reduce my dosage as I have indicated, but it brought me the experience of withdrawals issue which were terrible.  As I said, finally I am on two per day at 10 mg of Methadone and the effectiveness has been felt and now requires the use of Norco once or twice per day when needed."


"This pill made me so crazy and bi polar I have never expercied in my life! I couldn't even take on month of it I was costantly crying and depressed! I gained over 10 pounds within the last month I will never ever again use this birth control"


"I had a terrible migraine on Friday and went to the doctors office.  The gave me a dose of Imitrex and within 15 minutes my headache was gone.  It did make me feel nauseated and my cheeks were tingling but it was 100x better than the headache."


"Is providing some relief from hallucinations on 6mg day - also helps bipolar ups and downs. I do have some side effects though."


"Flonase has not been effective at reducing my nasal congestion.  At 1/8 the cost, Oxymetazoline hydrochloride has been a great deal more effective for me."


"Received test results 8/20/13 and after 8 weeks of medicines undetectable and CD4 at 980, no side effects! In my Canadian Province all HIV medicines including the Quad are 100% covered by the government medical plan at no cost, regardless of income."


"Don't use the external cream. My itching and burning has increased 1000000x. It's unbearable. Now I'm reading these reviews and wished I had just called the doctor.  But WHY does a product that's supposed to HELP with burning and itching make it worse?!?"


"Has been very effective for maintaining remission of symptoms. Note: had to decrease dose to 400 mg 3 times daily. Passed pills whole at higher dose."


"I've been depressed or angry very quickly while on this pill; crying at the drop of a hat.  My period didn't come this month.  Last month, I spotted one day during my 2nd week, another time during my 4th week and that's it. I gave it three months and am switching.  "


"I would give this (Norco) an 11 if I could. I had a labiaplasty and all they prescribed me was 800mg ibuprofen and Tylenol 3. Neither one worked very well. I happened to have some Norco left over from a work related injury (back/neck/shoulders) and the nurse I spoke to said it wouldn't work very well for this sort of pain. Well, sorry to say, she was wrong. I feel pain free and relaxed for the first time since my surgery. I think I will actually get some sleep tonight. The pain was a level 10 (imagine getting your genitals caught in a bear trap... that's what it felt like--constantly)... right now it's at probably a 1 with only minor discomfort. Check with your doctor before using it and never mix with other medicines!"


"When I began using birth control, I had severe reactions to every pill that the doctor gave me. Of the side effects which are listed on the pamphlet,I had all of them except the most severe ones. I had three periods in 2 months and I was shaking and in a great deal of pain. I am small and to me it felt like a massive overdose. The Nuvaring has been a lifesaver. The ring slowly releases the hormones so I don't feel overwhelmed and saved me from a lot of future worry and stress."


"I was on minocycline for 7 days when I began rapidly breaking out in hives. I have had to go to both urgent care and the ER to find relief via Epipen.  Words cannot express how much pain I am in from these hives and swelling. The medicine did clear up my skin but the hives and pain were bad. Doctors say to expect hives and continued reaction for upwards of two weeks."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Sometimes it worked nad sometimes not, but the best thing I've had yet and nothing has duplicated its effects yet."


"So I got the implant on April 15 and immediately I started feeling mood swings , one moment I felt happy the next mad . Constantly getting mad at my boyfriend for little things that didn't matter . Felt irritated all the time . My period was late . I started on May 6th it is May 12th now and still on my period . I eat a lot now . Gained a couple pounds . Got some acne . Sometimes I feel depressed . Considering getting it removed but 99% chance of not getting pregnant is what's keeping me to stay with the birth control ."


"Helps to fall asleep and stay asleep."


"I started out weighing 197lbs.  I've fluctuated from 180-195 for the last 5 years.  It's been awful.  I'm 38 so shedding pounds is extremely difficult.  I finally got a prescription for Phentermine and I'm down 8 lbs in just 1 week with healthy eating.  No counting calories.  Just tons of veggies, lean turkey burger patties, Vega protein shakes and lots of water.  My goal is 130lbs since I'm only 5'2".  I did decide to take a whole pill yesterday and it gave me a massive headache.  Won't be doing that again."


"This has worked great for me! After battling depression and other things for years its nice to feel some relief. I%u2019ve tried 3 other kinds of medicines and it hasn%u2019t worked at all. Its still new but I recommend it for people who are manic depressant. It works great with Abilify!"


"On month 5 of taking Sprintec and it has almost completely cleared my cystic acne that I have had for over 5 years! Now all I have to do is clear up these acne scars!"


"Within two hours of taking the first pill, I could feel the congestion start breaking up. Feeling much better after two days' treatment & no side effects."


"Ok so I cant really rate it yet based on how well its working because its really only my 4th day, (technically 2nd, because I cut in half 5mg the past 2 days and have been taking 2.5 till I was confident enough to take the full 5) I was extremely scared of side effects especially the nausea and vomiting that I read so much about because I have a very sensitive stomach and most medicines make me sick, so far I have not had ANY nausea with this medicine - although I'm only on 5mg. I have taken it with a meal every time! I am optimistic that this will help my anxiety, I may increase to 10mg in a few weeks if I feel no difference with the 5. However do not let these reviews scare you! Every person is different!"


"I tried all sorts of SSRI's with no effect. I tried this medicine and after about a month I began to feel a lot better. I take this with 5mg of Valium whenever I have panic attacks. The only side effect I had was a slightly unpleasant taste in my mouth. It can be a bit annoying, but I suffer so much from anxiety, a little bad taste in my mouth is not too much to deal with. I would recommend this to anyone who has tried many medications with no results, and really need relief from their severe anxiety."


"I was on a combo pill for years before Micronor and it was the worst. I had terrible mood swings, weight gain, increase in appetite and low sex-drive, and the headaches were TERRIBLE. Once I started getting aura-migraines, my doctor made me switch. I thought Micronor would be just as bad, or worse. Thankfully, however, everything has been good! I've only noticed around a 8lb weight gain and it pretty much all went to my chest, I went from barely a B to a full C. Can't complain about that, lol. My only real complaint is that my face, which has always been clear even throughout my teenage years, now breaks out every so often. No mood swings, decreased appetite, upped sex drive, bigger boobs, regular periods, and no babies. Go Micronor!"


"It made me very sleepy.  I didn't like feeling so tired.  With other medications for anxiety I had more sense of calmness rather than just feeling loopy and tired.  I won't use it again"


"I was having HORRIBLE cramps from being so constipated and knew instantly to go buy a Fleet. Cleared everything right up! No more cramps either!"


"I have been taking it for several years and has worked pretty well to keep blood pressure down to below 140/70. Just recently my blood pressure has gone up to average 150/80 so will also be taking a diuretic, Hydrochlorothiazide."


"Fenanyl was recommended by the hospital pain management team. I had been on it for 4 years low dose 50 for 2 years then the 75. They worked well until i was hurt in an auto accident then had to move to the larger dose. Always had oxycodone for break through. The down side is it does leave you groggy. Once your body is used to the medication you have to constantly tweet your medicine. I recently changed medications, my head is clearer but my pain is off the chart. I think I will be going back to the fentanyl if I can't find a better alternative. "


"I have had fibromyalgia for many yrs, it was diagnosed possibly 15 years ago.  Nothing was really available to my knowledge.  About 4 years ago my pain Dr. asked me to try Savella.  I did, gradual increases.  It worked almost immediately for me. It is a great medication.  However, later I began having a skin rash, at first I was told I had ringworm. I went to a dermatologist who diagnosed the rash as psoriasis.  I have been treated with every ointment, cream available, uv light etc.  Nothing seems to work.  I have finally decided this skin condition must be coming from the Savella.  I weaned my self off the Savella for about 3 weeks now.  The condition has improved greatly, But I want to take the Savella, it is great. Need a 2nd opinion on my rash."


"Hello ladies, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend for the first time on 22th August 23.30pm and he finished inside me. It all happened in the spur of the moment. At that time I was ovulating too. He got me a plan b pill the next morning and I took it within 9 hours of unprotected sex. I had no side effects at all. I was very worried that maybe the pill didn't work. But it did work!!! I got my periods on time! On the 3rd of September. I also waited for my next cycle and got my periods on time that is October 2nd. Now I'm completely sure that it worked for me! It didn't have any side effects on me..nor my cycle. It does work!!! Try it out if in an emergency and make sure you follow all the instructions carefully!! Plan b saved me!!"


"After getting out of the hospital following a heart attack, I was so constipated that nothing I tried would help me to have a bowel movement.  I tried everything that others suggested, even ate prunes dried and boiled, finally, I found a  bottle of children's castoria in my medicine closet that I kept there for my children. I took the Castoria, and was relieved to have a bowel movement within 12 hours.  Thank you Castoria!!!  The only side effect was that I have been regular ever since!"


"I am one of those people who will get the side effects that are listed as the o.02% and I have to say I have been diagnosed as bipolar for about 11 years and I went on Cymbalta 8 months ago and I feel like it saved my life. I love my Cymbalta. "


"So I had a very bad yeast infection . My god , it was horrible . I was itchy and it felt so raw down there I would get so annoyed of the itchy sensation . Anyways I got so frustrated I went to Walgreens and bought M-1 . And went back home , put that weird egg in . And while I was laying down I started reading the reviews . I almost cried . Because most of them are so negative . I even googled how to remover M-1 because I didn't wanna go through the pain everyone here was going through . Then I just decided to just leave it up there . And go through the pain . But lucky I didn't . Day 3 and im feeling 100x better !"


"My Dr prescribe contrave for me in October 2016.  I waited about a week to start them as I was a little nervous about the side affects and the cost was very high.  Anyway I began a week later and as of now a little over two months later I have lost 20lbs so far its working and my side affects were minimal  hopefully it will continue this way."


"February 2015 I had an overdose due to depression. I still haven't admitted I was depressed but the anxiety is real. I couldn't go to class when I did go to school. My stomach would go crazy and my mind wouldn't stop racing. I was then put on Paxil. I have been on it for a year and a half now and I'm trying to get off it. not that it isn't working for my anxiety but my emotions are uncontrollable when I try to get off it and when I am on it I feel like I'm just going. I find myself looking back on a week and not remembering a time I took to just chill and think. because Paxil thinks for me. I don't like that so I am trying to get off it."


"I've been taking this since January of 2013 and it's been working great for me. I am not horribly incapacitated by my periods (before I would get really sick with bad cramps and nausea and headaches). My periods last maybe a day at most, no cramps, no usual symptoms like before. The smell of my periods has changed though I noticed, I'm not sure what to make of it.
Not sure if it's a side effect, but I've noticed I've become rather sensitive to the smell and taste of seafood. It makes me nauseous. That's pretty much the only 'side effect' I've noticed out of the normal."


"On prescription for about 3 weeks and started getting severe joint pain in feet, ankles, knees, hips, elbows, shoulders, wrists, hands and fingers.  Have a lot of fatigue and sleeplessness.   I feel it is this drug.  I stopped taking 1 week ago, but side effects are still bothering me greatly.  Doctor did blood work and "everything looks normal".  Told me to  drink lots of fluids and take Tylenol until drug out of my system."


"Not fond of the sexual side effects (making it harder to orgasm), and it caused excessive sweating! However it did work very well for managing my anxiety. The only negative were the side effects."


"This medication makes me feel very weak no matter what time of the day I take it. I would not recommend it for anxiety seeing as you have to take it every day in order for it to lower blood pressure and make stressful situations more bearable instead of taking it as needed."


"I ended up on Escitalopram about 2-3 years ago because the previous med (Effexor XR) was causing steady weight gain I just couldn't manage anymore (50+ lbs. in 9 months). And this has hands down been the best med I've ever been on. It doesn't seem to affect my weight at all, and I feel completely "normal" for possibly the first time since childhood (about 30 years ago). I'm on 20mg, as 10mg just wasn't quite cutting it, and my doctor also later added Buspirone to help with some lingering anxiety. I found Effexor to be generally more effective for anxiety, and Lexapro more effective for Depression, so I think this Escitalopram/Buspirone combo works well for me."


"So I started taking gaba 2 years ago for anxiety but yet I became more and more of an alcoholic. I did not even know that this medication was for that. Now I went to the doctor and am on other meds and gaba is making me a to talk backwards, forget with in minutes and disoriented . I sleep ill noon and then run into things. My doctor didn't think he should mention this but the pharmacist did. I have a child. Please do your research."


"I'm 82. I have peripheral neuropathy. The doctors I've seen are surprised that I have this condition since I am not or ever have been diabetic, and I'm enormously fit for my age. I go to the gym for two hours of intensive workout six days a week. I also eat healthily. But there is no denying I have peripheral neuropathy, and taking Gabapentin has given me wonderful relief from pain and tingling in both feet. I'm grateful for this and would recommend the medicine to anyone. I take a light dosage (300mg) on days that the pain is severe; but often do not take any medicines for two to three days at a time. Thank you Gabapentin."

"All I am going to say is my skin is flawless! After the first 2-3 months. I used to have outbreaks and blemishes! People always compliment me on how flawless my skin is and that I should do cover girl commercials. Beyaz!"
