"Dr. Prescribed for Tendonitis, aka Tennis Elbow on right arm.  After using for 2 days, the pain is diminished and movement of the forearm, grasping with the fingers, and range of motion is very near back to normal with very little pain.  I work on a computer all day, typing and mousing.  I apply 2 grams, 4 times a day to the elbow area.  It makes working very tolerable.  I would say Voltaren is a good treatment and really helps bring my arm function back to normal with no pain for tendonitis / Tennis Elbow.  Aspercreme was also ok, but the Voltaren does better.  Mild stretching, exercise and movement also help and are made much easier with the Voltaren."


"I wasn't too over-weight, but my weight was clearly going to get out of hand if I didn't do something about it. I was about 30 pounds to big (197 pounds).  My goal is 167.  I asked my doctor to prescribe Qsymia; now, I'm 174 after 3 months. My body weight scale just reported that I'm in the 'normal' range for BMI. I know BMI doesn't mean too much, but it felt good. I would like Qsymia to help me fend off routine eating, so I can maintain 167 for long periods of time... that's the goal at least.
I have to buy new pants now.."


"I take Estazolam 1.5mg before bedtime and it works quite well. I alternate with Seroquel to avoid getting a tolerance to either. Been on Estazolam 9 months and have no tolerance because of alternating it with other meds."


"I lost everything after 35 years hard drinking.Went to rehabs and AA. I  don't want to tell everyone I'm an alcoholic every day when I try to put things past tense. 3 days on campral and yep its gold. sober 4 months and hey a bit of diarrhea  ; but at least I can remember pooping myself. Lets do it. Shane"


"This medication is excellent! I have had horrible angioedema (a type of urticaria where the hives form under the skin) since I was ten years old from an autoimmune disease and have gone through several different medications, but this once has worked the most effectively. And I can tell how well it works because when I forget to take it, the hives show up within about 12 hours after the missed dose and once I remember to take the missed dose, within about two hours, it feels as though I never had angioedema at all."


"I suffer from atypical trigeminal neuralgia after a wisdom tooth removal. I have been on the same dose of tramadol and tapentadol for 2 years with no development of tolerance and limited gastrointestinal side effects. Excellent regimen from an excellent doctor."


"I've been struggling with mild acne on my face and severe acne on my shoulders (mostly sports related) for the past 2 years or so, and absolutely NOTHING worked. However, I've been taking Doryx for a week now and my face is almost completely clear, and my shoulders are clearing up FAST. however, I did experience a lot of drying out on my face, as well as (oddly enough) a decreased sex drive. I HIGHLY recommend refraining from alcohol while on this medicine, as it will only worsen the drying of your face. Stick with it. Remember, your face will get worse before it gets better."


"I take citalopram 20mg due to high levels of anxiety and panic attacks I kept getting heart palpitations and my blood pressure would go up. It got to a point it was really bad effecting my every day functioning making me want to frequently urinate every 20 mins on average I could not travel and did not want to go to social gatherings I would often be in fear that I would have a heart attack or a stroke due to the pounding sensation  I would feel on my heart that caused me a continuous discomfort as well as tightness in my chest I spent many occasions in and out of hospital and visited the doctors with frequency. Citalopram was the only medication to stop these symptoms of anxiety I was feeling all symptoms completely stopped."


"On Bydureon since January 2016. The most significant problem from the beginning r the small hard lumps at inj.site. It has improved since I 1st began. I find the plunger is difficult to press down firmly. Tap gently 20x then 1/4 turn till 80 to mix. It's recm'd to hold in place for 10secs. I put my foot on a low step stool to firmly keep a 45 degree angle from hip to knee. For mths no symptoms only lumps. Now I'm here sharing my story bcuz I'm suspicious it's responsible for these bouts w/severe nausea w/VERY LOUD STOMACH/GUT NOISES. I'm taking Metformin too. I've lost 53lbs.Size 14 to 8. A1C pending. Can't confirm nausea/growling stomach/belching r caused by it. Stopped ALL WHITE FOODS/MOST SUGAR. Need2know if I'm hurting myself 2b cont'd"


"Took it for 3 months 2.5 mg and did not help the anxiety, it made it worse. I am tapering down."


"I've been taking this medication for almost 3 years now, and never had one side effect or anything but relief. I get severe headaches and ontop of that, stomach/intestional infections frequently. This is the only medicine that helps with the vomiting and nausea. And believe me, I've taken EVERYTHING in between when dealing with my issues. Reading all these comments about everyone's bad reactions is really surprising to me. I guess it affects everyone differently sometimes."


"The medicine immediately gave me the worst taste in my mouth after the first pill and I started to feel nauseous by the 2nd tablet. By my third dose I started having severe diarrhea (25 extremely loose stools within an 8 hour period). I've had stomach cramping and in general have felt worse then when I started the medication. I had loss of appetite about 8 hours after the first dose as well. At this point I've stopped the medication and am waiting to see my doctor tomorrow to request a different non oral medication. My dosage was 500mg twice a day orally for 7 days. Only made it to 3 doses all of which I ate with a meal before I couldn't take anymore. The metallic taste seems to be worse if the pill touches your tongue."


"I get this birth control for free through my insurance. I have been using it for over a year now and I love it. The first month or so I did have some side effects. I got sick and had terrible headaches and some stomach pain. But it did stop and I have been fine ever since. I set an alarm on my cellphone daily to remind me to take it. Overall good pill."


"I took fluoxetine all through my adolescence and it did nothing for my depression. We kept increasing the dosage to the maximum safe limit but nothing changed. However, the symptoms did not get worse and the only adverse side effects were gastric reflux and nausea immediately after taking it."


"Hair loss and thinning good readings with this drug but not come off it due to hair loss. I did urinate a lot and it did smell very sweet."


"Worked great but caused massive weight gain. Gained 30 pounds while taking medicine, even while and exercising/dieting."


"It opens things up well but my case is advanced and it does not last more than 2 or 3 hours. My lung function is under 30% so YMMV. Also take Advair and albuterol. Good luck to all."


"I have been injecting Forteo for two full weeks.  My back pain is demished significantly and my stamina has improved expeditiously!   I feel like there is hope for my future today.

I am 63 female with one severe L1 fracture and a new fracture at L8.  My  scoliosis  is the double curved kind and I have two bulges protruding at the twist.  One is pushing on my spinal column.

My doctor found me a $50.00 co-pay card for this drug but the normal copay this month was $487.00.

I can say that I actually feel younger and thankful for the diminished pain and gained stamina.  I do feel grateful."


"I had Eczema on my right and and was prescribed this medicine. After dealing with the itching, broken skin, bleeding of the area and so on for a few weeks I was diagnosed with Adult Eczema and this cream did a great job at clearing the affected area rather quickly."


"Hello Everyone,

I took wellbutrin 150 mg once a day, along side with zoloft (200mg) and atenolol (50mg)

- the wellbutrin worked well for the first four days, but then i suddenly began to plummet. instead of feeling energized like everyone else in these reviews i began to feel restless, drowsy and dizzy. Even worse, i noticed my blood pressure was going up. By the third week of taking this medication my head was pulsing, i had a couple bad headaches, diarrhea, and nausea . I could not take the side effects anymore because i was experiencing almost every negative side effect.

If you are sensitive to caffeine, this drug may not be for you. it felt similar to caffeine which i am sensitive to."


"Today was my first day (10 mg) and I felt great until I felt dizzy, then like I was going to faint. Then felt like I was going to throw up. This was all at work! I never did get sick, splashed water on my face and laid down and felt better after about 30 minutes or so. The other thing is that I did not eat much today, so not sure if that was a contributing factor.
I feel like if I can work thru these side effects, it will really help."


"Burned like crazy within 5 mins of using the vaginal cream insert. The most pain I have ever experienced. Brought me to tears as I wanted to scream in pain. I will not be continuing with days 2 and 3. I will use a different product. They should out on the outside of the box in bold letters that it may cause severe burning and itching, not "mild". They couldn't pay me to go through that again."


"Savella has really improved my life. I am a nurse who works 12h shifts & before this drug I had to crawl out of bed, work my 12h shifts, then sleep for days until time to return to work again. Now, I have a new lease on life & this is the 1st time in 25 yrs where I dont feel as I was dragged under a bus all night when I get up. It has not been without side effects. Most notably rapid heartbeat (up to 125), sweats, hostility & irritability. Ive found that 6. 25mg daily is the most I can tolerate. It does not come in this dosage, but I break a 12. 5mg tablet in half. My pain is not totally gone, but the fatigue is remarkably better. A couple tylenols twice daily helps with the pain & stiffness. Keep trying to find right dose for you."


"I found myself almost immediately repulsed by the taste of smoking after only 4 days taking Champix. Granted, there could be some uncomfortable side effects, but the end result is well worth it. I have no desire to smoke any longer."


"I started out with the lower dose it did not work so I was put up to the highest dose  it still does not seem to work what do I do"


"Just finished my 4 week course of Carac cream.  Here is my advice.  MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE! I went to Rite-Aide and purchased a large bottle of Vitamin E and ALOE gel moisturizer (nothing with alcohol, which will burn or oil, which is difficult to remove) as well as a bottle of Baby Wash (you know, "no more tears"). Only wash your affected area (mine was face and scalp) with the baby wash (doesn't dry out skin) and once the Carac has been applied, wait about 1/2 hour and begin applying the moisturizer.  I used the moisturizer heavily 5 or 6 times per day.  It soaked right up and worked great.  Felt like a light sun-burn with moderate peeling and when I was done and I healed up in a snap."


"Good pain med took a few days to get use to it.
I'm on the max dose 600mg/ day.  I got quite dizzy at first trying to figure out when to take my break through meds. Very little highs and lows for me that is important  not like the Percocets I used to take."


"My husband was perscirbed this medicine to help him sleep.  He is a combat veteran..(need I say more about sleeping).  The medicine worked okay, but it caused his Trigycerides to sky rocket."


"Awesome! For years I suffered sinus headaches, which are much like Migraines. Flonase has alleviated that tremendously. I don't take this all the time just when I sense allergy season, or plan to be somewhere, where there is a atmospheric change like the mountains or in an airplane. It keeps my sinuses from swelling, causing the headache, it's not an instant fix, it takes about 11 hours to be effective on me."


"I started my first pack of Lo Loestrin Fe in May.  The first month I started pill on the first day of cycle.  My cycle lasted way longer than normal.  The second month of pill, only spotted about 3-4 days.  I am now currently on my third month and have had no bleeding yet.  It makes me feel better reading others that are experiencing same thing.  It will certainly be a money maker for companies who make pregnancy test - as missed periods make us all a little nervous.  I guess it's normal with this medication.  I enjoy reading different experiences.  Thanks!"


"I was pretty frustrated with the pills. I tried Viagra and Levitra with minimal effects. My doctor suggested Alprostadil injection therapy. I was a little nervous especially with the thought of getting a shot into my penis but after reading up on it I mananged to get up enough nerve to give it a try. I must say the shot didnt hurt at all. Zero pain and only a little drop of blood from the injection site. Within 10 minutes I was fully erect and my erection lasted for 70 minutes. I didn't experience any side effects like with the pills. No headache, no flush mess in the face, no visual impairment, or heart burn. I am very pleased with the outcome and would recommend this course of treatment for men that have little success with the pills."


"I've been on the depo shot since 2013 , I think it works well, but the bad part is weight gain. First I was 117 and now I'm 152 , one of the good part about this shot is that it took my period away, & I haven't had it for a year. im Thinking of changing because of the side effects I read about but its a good birth control method"

"I am down 13 pounds in 10 days of taking this medication .. haven't eaten much since starting so I'm pushing the fluids to keep hydrated. No exercise but I'm a Mom of 4 so Im kept busy run l moving around after kids. Jitters insomnia dry mouth and dizziness are some side effects I've had but hoping that my body adjusts to the medicine soon."


"This is my first time taking birth control pills and so far LOVE it! I had an IUD put in last year and had it taken out within 2 months because I was consistently bleeding, got a rash all over my body and I had horrible cramping, but so far I haven't had any side effects with Chateal, yet. I read about this birth control before I took it and I was so afraid to even try it out, but I did and so far so good, everyone's bodies are different so don't be afraid to try it! I even asked my husband to help me track of any side effects that he may notice especially mood swings but he hasn't noticed anything either. I will update this review if I start to experience any side effects."


"Helped me a lot, non addictive, but some times it keeps me half sleeping and half awake at night time, otherwise its a great drug for its calming effect. Thanks"


"I took 2 20mg doses (pill) 12 hours apart , as told by my doctor. The next day i started shaking when I woke up in bed and went straight to the hospital for "corticosteroid induced psychosis" caused by prednisone. I am still recovering!"


"Does not work for my fibromyalgia."


"This is the greatest thing that's happened in my life in the last year.
I used to have to use my Ventlin inhaler 3/4 times a day. I have not used it since I started Symbicort! My last doctor wouldn't even let me try it. Glad I changed doctors. I can go up and down stairs without stopping trying to breath. My child even noticed the difference."


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he had cum earlier in that day but had not peed yet so there could've been cum still in the precum. I was on a day when I could have been ovulating, I had it in 3 hours. I was thinking that I was really pregnant this time. I was getting cramps on one side and back aches, with w little bit of spotting and I thought it was implantation. Being only 14 I was super worried then today my predicted day of period. I got it!! I've never been happier in my life"


"Scared of flying - took some and woke up 11 hours later safe an sound but still out my face - good times."


"Stammering speech, violent nerve twitching, insomnia, blurred vision, difficulty swallowing"


"Changed from effexor to Cymbalta for secondary reasons other than its intended use and it works wonders."


"I've been a pack a day smoker for around 15 years (has it been that long???) I'm on day 11. I've had very minimal side effects, and sometimes none at all. The only thing to report is I feel a little sick after I take the night time dose, but it goes away pretty quickly and it's easy to just ride it out. I always take them with full meals and I think I must not drink enough water with the nighttime dose. It hasn't happened everyday either. I'm not even having the weird dreams which I was looking forward to. Still smoking. Not nearly as much as I did though, and I haven't really enjoyed one since like Day 4 anyway. Just going through the motions I think. I've heard it will just magically kick in so I'm waiting for that to happen."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I was a little nervous at first ,The prep solution mixed and chilled tasted like a really strong lemon Gatorade, not too bad actually. The effect began taking place about 1 hour after first dose just as I was drinking the last of the prep solution 4th portion of 1 liter bottle. Well I'm just starting so here I go again. "


"I have been coughing for almost 2 weeks unable to sleep at night because of the cough.  Doctor says it is bronchitis along with a cold.  I got this cough medicine and I was able to sleep AND I felt much better if for no other reason than the sleep, but the cough is much better too!"


Aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

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


"I've had implanon since June and it's now February. The first month I had it I didn't have a period, after that I had 2 months of heavy periods lasting about 2 weeks, then I would lightly spot almost every single day without any real periods in between. But for the past 2 months I've had absolutely no bleeding. Which is a blessing and a curse because I've been having sex without condoms and I'm paranoid. But I'm hoping this is normal and isn't because of pregnancy. If I am pregnant I will be making another review Lol. I am 20 & had no real side effects aside from the constant spotting at one point. Doctors said it was because of a thin endometrial lining caused by the bc and if i constantly bleed again they're removing it. But I like it lol"


"Loved this drug at first, but about 3 months in the side effects became overwhelming. Lightheadedness without hypotension, feeling very tired through the day, nausea, severe abdominal and back pain and digestive-like pains. It reduced my blood pressure by 15 points systolic, but the severe side effects I experienced made me look for another option."


"I have frequent kidney stones and for awhile was at a lose on how to deal with them. Eventually, after several horrible hospital trips, my primary doctor prescribed me Flomax and told me to take one a day during an attack. Flomax has been an absolute life saver for me. Within an hour, my pain subsides and I am normally able to pass the stone that same day. I carry Flomax with me everywhere now. It has helped reduce the anxiety I had about when my next kidney stone would occur because I know I have a pill that really works."


"Using Tradjenta as a Byetta replacement.  Byetta never lowered blood glucose but made me feel much better.  Tradjenta similar to Byetta also gives me good energy and non-sick feeling.  No feeling of constantly having to urinate.  Not sleepy after meals.  Take Tradjenta with metformin and have also used insulin Apidra, but insulin doesn't seem to help me much.  Only on day 5 but noticed the positive effects after day one."


"For the past 5 years I have suffered with fibromyalgia, I wake 4 or 5 times a night and generally feel like I have had flu all that time.  I started on gabapentin 100mg 3 x daily for 4 weeks and did feel I had a bit more energy, my GP then put me up to 300mg x 3 daily and it has made a massive difference.  For the first time in years I get a good night sleep and don't feel like I have been hit by a bus when I wake."


"I have been suffering from PMDD since I was 13. Now at age 41 finally Yaz dramatically changed my life."


"My daughter age 11 takes this and it has done wonders. It controls her moodiness and tantrums. Glad I tried this medicine."


"I'm sorry to be the Negative Nancy, but the past two nights of my life have been MISERABLE. I am 26 yrs old with no pregnancies or children. Yes, the insertion process hurt really, really badly! Don't let the high-pain tolerance of these chicks fool you. It hurt, but it was fast. The whole procedure lasted maybe 5-6 minutes from prep to finish. Just had to cuss and laugh my way through it. Had no problems the rest of the day...until I went to bed. What followed was excruciating pain!! Lasted about two hours. Nothing helped me. Today, I have been fine under high doses of Ibuprofen. I cleaned house and went to work. I climbed into bed and prayed for no more pain. Have been wide awake since 5AM (it's 6:52) in horrific agony!!"


"I've been on Belviq since 10/17 and I lost 10 lbs so far.  I started on the sample from the doc.  My insurance, UHC, approved it right away.  It costs $25.  I am supposed to take two pills a day, but I only take 1.  Initially I had a headache for 2 or 3 days and I took Excedrin or Tylenol for relief.  Anyway, I don't have many side effects now.  I am really tired by the end of the day and I am usually asleep by 9 pm and I sleep like a baby.  I typically have sleep problems and have taken Ambien periodically.  I have no need for that now.  I think I would have lost more weight, but it took a minute to figure how to work out my eating plan.  I try not to eat carbs at night.  If I eat carbs, it will be once a day and I don't over indulge."


"Bad allergies to pet dogs. Rhinocort allows me to live with them without constant sneezing and a runny stuffy nose. Been on this medicine for 6-8 years."


"Works Better Than Ativan(Lorazepam) And Xanax(Alprazolam)!"


"Long story short, boyfriend was going to pull out but ended up half finishing inside me and I was ovulating. Took Plan B about 20 hours later and I got my period on time. Not a day late. I did feel pregnant though, my boobs were sore, I had a lot of white discharge, nausea and headaches. But don't stress! It will work!"


"I have been on many antidepressants, and Lexapro has easily been the best fit for me.  I have not yet noticed any side effects (I've been on it for two months) but my OCD symptoms have subsided and I am feeling much, much less anxious."


"OMGosh, my friends...Enbrel is my lifesaver! I have been 6'2" tall since the 8th grade, then...I think I stopped growing, (up, anyway-lol:) I am 57yrs old now, diagnosed with AS some years ago, and I am now...maybe...4'2", if I'm lucky. If it weren't for Enbrel, I would be in a wheelchair, no doubt in my mind! If it weren't for my stubbornness, (lol:) I'd already be in one. I could go on and on...and on-lol:) Just...PLEASE...IF you are suffering from arthritis of ANY kind, please ask your Dr about Enbrel, or...some other biologic that might be the perfect med for you. Hey, it's worth a shot! HA:) (pun not intentional, but...pretty good) Have to keep smilin'. One day at a time! Good luck my friends:)"


"I had unprotected sex for literally 5 mins and I wanted to stop cause it didn't feel right, took plan b pill literally 12-15 hours later and I still got pregnant! Not to mention, the side effects are HORRIBLE. Felt dizzy, nauseous, and extremely tired for a few days. Pill doesn't always work, cause I still got pregnant!"


"I started on this medication 4 months ago. Followed instructions and take the Bydureon out of the refrigerator the night before. My wife gives the injection as I would never be able to do this myself. The needle is huge! It burns going in and the nodes take many weeks to go away. To this day heartburn, painful gas in lower abdomen, pain at base of neck, very low energy level where I must lay down about every three hours. I am 5'9" 172lbs. I walk 40 minutes on treadmill every morning and do jumping jacks and burpees for exercise. My A1c went from 8 to 8.3 on third visit to Dr. Waiting to see what the numbers will be next week. Just this last week my nipples got swollen, enlarged and are very painful."


"After a double synovectomy of my right wrist and left elbow in 1985 at the age of twenty, I had sixteen years of remission, until 2001 when I had a downward spiral rheumatic flare.  I was disabled for eight months and my Rheumatologist put me on very high doses of Methotrexate and Vioxx.  I was only able to walk with a cane.  Relief in 2002 to 2003 and another flare-up dislocated my left wrist and crippled my fingers.  Started the year 2004 with a synovectomy of the left wrist.  At this point I had enough of the Methotrexate and Vioxx.  I sought alternative treatments of Gloucosamine/MSM, with Tylenol Arthritis for pain.  2006 Flare-up, I moved to RTP,  where my Doctor introduced me to Remicade with medium doses of Methotrexate.  No pain, I'm happy."


"I had been on Ortho Evra in the past and loved it! So when my gynecologist suggested the patch again to stop having periods and just keep patching, I was on board. But my periods have been horrible. The pain is crazy! Never again!"


"Have used for 12 years for sleep. Take 400mg before bed, sometimes 500mg.

I fall asleep within 15 minutes and sleep all through the night."


"This is my first 24 hours of having it on. At first I was really shaky, I now feel sick to my stomach. I've thrown up and I feel really weak. I had bad experiences with other birth controls. Doctor told me not to take it off, what do I do..?"


"My experience with Nexplanon was horrible and would like to share my experience, although everyone is different and what doesn't work for me might work for you or vice versa. I had the Nexplanon placed 3 months after giving birth. Before that I was happy, high sex drive (always have had high sex drive), regular periods, and overall very long life. After Nexplanon I had non stop bleeding, severe headaches, severe dizziness, severe lightheadedness, extreme fatigue and severe mood swings. I felt like I was going downhill because I felt sick all the time and extreme sadness and depression. I had it removed because I no longer felt like myself and felt like I was making bad memories on what should be my most precious moments with my family."


"I started Myrbetriq about three weeks ago.  What a difference it has made in my life.  The doctor gave me samples for 25 mg and I noticed a positive change the first day and even more after a few days.  When my two week supply of samples ran out, I requested to try the 50 mg and this level has almost completely alleviated all the symptoms I was having.  Now I'm battling with my insurance company to approve the medicine.  Hopefully they will come through for me because this medication is working great."


"These reviews are scary yet helpful. I am on day four of my Nexplanon and today I'm having aches (such as period pains) which is normal because I'm supposed to be on. I was on the shot but switched because I'm moving away for college but didn't want to change my gynecologist so instead of three month visits its only yearly which is AMAZING. I'm still on the Depo and Nexplanon. I'll be off the shot next month and pray that I don't have this unbearable bleeding everyone is talking about. "


"
My bf and I had a condom break and I panicked because I've NEVER had something like that happen before and on top of that I was supposed to ovulate the same day well I took plan b that same day within 12 hours and I today I finally got my period almost a week early!! My advice is to try not to panic plan b does what it's supposed to and just relax and your body will take care of the rest. My only concern is if my periods will be back on track since taking it. But that's it."


"I have been taking 80 mg of Diovan daily for about 10 years. My blood pressure remains under control and I have had no side effects at all."


"Using this product was an awful experience for me. Granted it was how my body reacted, not the drug itself.. but when you can't take it out or stop using it.. it's miserable. So ladies.. if you hate having your period.. don't get this put in.. because.. I'll have mine for MONTHS at a time. I've had a heavy flow period now for over 2 weeks. Literally the whole month of November so far.. and today is the 16th. HEAVY. Not spotting. Just keep that in mind while making your decision! Only good thing is sex but you can only have it like ... once a month. Ruins vacations. It's awful. If I could cut it out myself I would."


"I had crippling anxiety for about a decade (childhood to early twenties). Panic attacks, social anxiety, and "generalized anxiety" were some of the titles I had gotten. Bottom line I couldn't interact with others, perform simple tasks, speak in public, make eye contact, the list goes on. I had HORRIBLE anxiety panic and depression for years. I developed a pretty serious drinking problem because I was not being treated for anxiety! I was suicidal and finally sought help. Lexapro 10mg at first. I didn't feel different the first month or so. You need to give Lexapro time! I am 100% a different person. People think I am calm, confident, and put together. I feel no panic. No irrational anxiety. It saved my life."


"I truly believe that I was allergic to all of the meds I have been taking for the past 7 years.  I started taking Anoro Ellipta 4 months ago and with the first inhale I could feel the oxygen hitting every cell of my body. It was the best feeling in the world. Still today I feel the same. I never use the emergency inhaler anymore.
I have very severe COPD I thought I was going to die every day for years but now I think I can live another 20."


"I am a serious marathon runner. Started suffering from strange respiratory problems 3 weeks before Chicago marathon. Flew into town to run with a 102f fever. Doctor prescribed this. Within 48 hours things started improving. Now 6 days in on 10 day treatment and most symptoms gone. No side effects. Didn't run marathon, but this medicine seemed to break a nasty infection."


"I found this treatment to be long and a bit scary as to how much you have to insert, however, after the first night it was like putting in a tampon but it leaked. I had no troubles with it except that it leaked which really was unpleasant. I slept with a towel underneath but I was pregnant so I was used to sleeping weird."


"I have been using Junel FE 1/20 for six years and LOVE it. I have never experienced any side effects and am able to skip my period every month."


"I was skeptic of BC pills because of bad experiences with bleeding weight gain etc while on it. My periods started to get extremely heavy and would last for 2 weeks due to cysts I started microgestin and it has been great no acne and I have actually lost weight and it supresses my appetite. Nothing bad to say about it so far."


"Took one dose of Bactrim for sinusitis/bronchitis and 3 hours later face was red. 1 hour following, my face, arms and hands broke out into hives. Had to discontinue and call doc."


"When I am not on some kind of medication I feel crazy, angry, and tons of anxiety, and always for no reason! I took Celexa for about 4 months and people noticed a huge difference in me. I stopped for 2 weeks and had felt crazy again. I went back on it and it just didn't seem to help anymore."


"Created very painful side effects. Extremely swollen upper arm, feverish arm, very painful!
"


"I have taken this drug for over 20 years for chronic pain.
If I stop 1 person from starting this drug,  then this has been worth it.
Initially it was the best pain reliever I ever tried. Problem is it is very addictive and stops working. The only way to sustain relief is to increase the dosage. I started at 60 MG and wound up at 200mg. Unfortunately at that dosage over  the years causes brain cell deterioration.  Remembering things becomes difficult, like family functions.  In time you become a walking zombie and numb to everything around you. You will lose interest in life and become drug sick if you Don't take your pill on time. Your relief will no longer be there because it stops working after time. I am off now and have my life back."


"I had my Mirena inserted in 2009 and I have yet to experience any major issues. Yes, in the beginning I bled for 3 months with a day or two in between with no bleeding at all, and I had thoughts of getting it removed but never did. It has been very effective and I am glad I kept it in. I have very light cycles now where I might spot for about 3 or 4 days and that's it. I'm relieved that I don't have to worry about unplanned pregnancies and I do plan to get the new one installed next year prior to my current one expiring."


"Have had psoriasis for 42 years, legs, arms, trunk. Afraid to take biologics because of side effects. Started Otezla and started clearing patches up on arms and trunk after 6 weeks, had light headaches and loose stools for couple weeks but subsided. I've been on it for 15 months and it's not clearing up any more if my skin. It seems stalled after starting out so well. I thought it was finally the miracle for psoriasis, but doesn't seem to be. The maker of Otezla actually pays for mine 100% and I have insurance that would not cover it at first but they will now."


"I took the Suprep as directed in two doses the evening before my Colonoscopy.
Very nasty taste it took me close to an hour to finish, I felt like throwing up, but lucky for me I didn't. Well I waited and waited to no avail. Had a massive headache, so bad! Bloating and the noises in my intestines were so bad even my dog got scared and started to bark. I still had not gone to bathroom yet and took the other half at 2:00am in the morning, by this time I was feeling so bad from lack of sleep and the headache I lay up in bed not meaning to fall a sleep and when I woke I was covered in the brown stuff, I was 8 hours in before this stuff worked. My Colonoscopy had to be cancelled due to not being clear in time. It just didn't work for me."


"I have been inadvertently taking this for over a year now.  I stopped my period myself with Lutera, which is the same strength and medication in Lo Seasonique so I've switched to LoSeasonique to save money.  When I first started taking it, I spotted for a long long time and if I take it even one hour later than my scheduled 4pm time I inevitably get cramps for two days.  If I miss one more than one day in a row I will spot for a week or two and feel as crappy as I used to whenever I got a period.  My periods did NOT get less painful on the pill and that is why I stopped it all together and I couldn't be happier.  If you can wait out the spotting, it is so worth it."


"Started at 254lbs on March 6 2014 and now 236 as of March 30 2014. I still have a long way to go but so far so good. Side effects constipation and dry mouth. I eat less than 1200 calories per day."


"I have never left a review on a medication before in my life, but after a year on this med, I felt I had to.  I am a 32 year old female who has suffered with anxiety and panic disorder/agoraphobia my whole life.  It got so bad that I dropped out of grad school a few years ago and was completely housebound with panic and derealization and I was fainting from the attacks in public!  No medicine ever worked for me until I tried seroquel.  Hands down, it gave me my life back.  I can drive, I can go to my kids' school and functions alone, I can socialize again. I feel totally free!  I was SO scared of starting this drug but it has been my lifeline!  The ONLY downside has been the weight gain-- 15 lbs that won't budge ;("


"Had the flu and then bronchitis - nasty stuff...lungs burning, dry hacking cough fever and chills, wheezing.  This is day one but last year it cleared me right up.  Flu shot next winter for sure!"


"I was given a sample by my dermatologist and decided to give Mirvaso a try for a couple of weeks before purchasing. After a week I noticed that my facial skin would start tingling, then turn bright red! It has now been 4 days since I discontinued using the product and fortunately the brightness is finally starting to fade back to where it was before I started using this product. The episodes of tingling skin have occured less and less frequently.  Bummed that the product did not work!"


"I have been on NuvaRing for about two and a half years and it is fantastic. My periods were significantly shorter and lighter. Before starting the ring my period was a least 5 days long and I would need super plus and super tampons each day. Once on the ring my period lasted about 3 days and I rarely need super tampons. In addition, I didn't have to worry about taking a pill at the same time every day. That being said, I have noted a bit of dryness during sex and the ring can occasionally be difficult to insert, again due to dryness. Other than those side effects, which are relatively minor and easily remedied with personal lubricant, my experience with the NuvaRing has been a great."


"I'm on my fourth 800/160 pill of bactrim treating MRSA infection which has also caused my lymph nodes behind knee and groin to swell and  hurt.  I initially took doxycycline for about 4 days with worsening infection.  Bactrim worked day 1.   The infection started to clear and lymph swelling and pain is going away.
Unfortunately I had severe anxiety including shaking tightness in chest very dizzy and feelings of doom.  It's possible this was brought on by me overreacting to a slight side effect but this is a very strong antibiotic. It works but you might have to suffer through it.  Not fun"


"A little over a year ago, I started having extreme tightness and stiffness down the backs of my legs. Because I was an active runner, I assumed it was a running injury.  Naproxen and muscle relaxants did not help.  Saw a sports doctor who thought it was an SacroIliac joint problem. Prescribed physio. Did it for six months. Pain and stiffness spread. Had X-rays and MRI. Showed some osteoarthritis in spine and mild to moderate bulging discs. Doctor thought it could be fibromyalgia. Referred to rheumatologist. Bloodwork showed low normal B12 (136). Was prescribed weekly B12 shots and meloxicam. Started working quickly. By second day, the stiffness was gone. Pain was greatly reduced. Comes back if I don't take it for two days.  No side effects."


"Celexa helped me immensely with my social anxiety. It completely changed my personality for the better. I finally felt confident and stopped having frequent anxiety and panic attacks.

     The only downside to taking this drug was that it was a bit too good at reducing my anxiety. I gained a total of 80 pounds in the first two years of taking it. I used to be obsessed with my weight, weighing myself multiple times a day and having anxiety attacks over it.  Celexa took away my insecurities, but at a major cost to my physical health.

     I was on Celexa for 7 years and only decided to try something else because I was having difficulty becoming motivated to lose weight, and found that it was not helping me enough with depression."


"Changed my life. After years of acne EVERYWHERE on my body, Claravis actually WORKED. I've been off for a month and have NO acne. I highly recommend taking the medication during the winter when there is little sun exposure to your sensitive skin. As Well as BLISTEX COMPLETE MOISTURE CHAPSTICK. Make sure you GET IT. It cured my dry/cut/bloody lips that was a side effect. Also, if your face is dry as well, I highly recommend Cerave lotion. BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE."


"Since Abilify was added to my bipolar cocktail, I have had only minor manic episodes.  I have been on it now for 4-5 years.  I would highly recommend it to anyone!  Thanks for giving my a much more stable life Abilify!"


"Depression was much better but the side effects were too bad to risk. Blood pressure increased, felt hot all of time and nausea that would not subside. But for once I did feel like my depression was much better. Back to Celexa now"


"After researching both Mirena and the Implanon (both with more negative than positive reviews) I decided to get the implant. I am usually not the type of person to do review%u2019s on anything but after having the Implanon in my arm for two weeks, I had to let others know that this implant has been nothing short of wonderful. I have been taking the pill since I was 17 and now at the age of 26, was ready for a change. I will make this short: upon insertion, they numb the skin THEN give plenty of lidocaine so do not feel the injection of the matchstick sized implant, implant hidden deep into the skin so not visible to the naked eye, arm was very sore for the first few days but to be expected, my period slowed to practically nothing the first time around, and now I am free and clear of worrying about a missed pill for the next three years! Those of you wanting to give long term birth control a try, try out Mirena. I hope Mirena works as well for you as it worked for me. Good luck."


"I personally have had several yeast infections in my past, mostly treated with pills and generic brand suppositories. Tonight is my first time trying monistat, I have the 7 day kit. When I first inserted the cream it felt cold,then it started burning and when I say it started burning ohh my gosh I felt like my vagina was roasting on an open fire. I'm lucky my doctor gave me a back up dose of diflucan, I'll just take that instead because this is dreadful."


"I have been on Micardis 40mg then 80mg for the last 10 years. My blood pressure hovers around 140-150/90-95. I am 5'11" and weigh 105kg. I've not had any major side effects that I can tell, but recently in the last 1 year when I turned 44, I started to experience insomnia. At first it was for a few days, then weeks. The longest bout of insomnia I had was 5 weeks where I couldn't sleep (tossing/turning) until 5-6am. Thereafter I could sleep for about 2 or 3 hours before I had to get up for work. I've checked some medical websites and apparently telemisartan drugs like Micardis may cause insomnia."


"best drug for OCD but dose must be 200mg morning and night"


"This is my experience with trazodone (everyone is different). I had auditory hallucinations like music was playing in my head when no radio was going. I was on 100 mg and I couldn't fall asleep at night at all on it, it actually made me hyper in a sedated way, so I was sleepy but full of energy. And very hung over the next day. Flu like symptoms, excessive sweating and increased anxiety. No motivation to do anything, just felt like a zombie. I start myself weaning off tonight, I'm so ready to be off of the med. Not right for me!"


"I have taken this about 3 times now and it works great. The only downfall with this pill is that it takes awhile to kick in. So I make sure I take it with 6 hours to spare. I haven't had any hangover from it either."


"Using this on 5 year old's impetigo.  She has a nasty lesion on the web on skin between her index and third finger.  Nothing was helping it, but within one application of this stuff I saw a difference.  I'm grateful to whoever discovered this product."


"Just came back from  ER.  I have started doing self cath  in severe pain frequent urination.  I have taken this med before many times for UTI's with excellent results doesn't usually cause yeast infections or c diff.  I can't believe all the bad reviews.  I never had any side effects at all just hope I'm on right med waiting for culture results only took 1 pill so far"


"I have been taking Adderall for two years and it has probably saved my life. I had been misdiagnosed as bi-polar with no co-morbid ADHD, and was prescribed benzodiazepines and anti-depressants. I eventually became suicidal when Abilify was added,and was lucky enough to have a moment of clarity and changed doctors and hospital affiliates. The week I was started on ADHD meds, I started to become the person I should be. I only wish I could have been diagnosed as a child, I feel I missed half my education. I can now focus all day, keep a train of thought long enough to finish mundane to complex tasks, and have written and recorded an album of music that had been completed but in disarray. No side effects, no weight loss or changes in eating habits."


"Hey guys I just got my skyla put in yesterday, and im here to tell you DONT LET THE INTERNET SCARE YOU AWAY FROM GETTING AN IUD. I have major anxiety and was so scared to get it after reading mixed stories on how it feels and how some people get lidocane for numbing down there because it can be painful. Well let me just tell you.. it was a breeze .. seriously. It was a little more uncomfortable than a pap because they clamp your cervix, it feels like pressure. They reccomend 800 mg ibprofen before i took 1 vicodin because my anxiety is so bad I felt i needed something stronger and I happen to have some in my medicine cabinet... and literally felt nothing but a little pressure. No pinch. No pain. I 100% recommend."


"Simply the best option in my opinion. I have tried everything, EVERYTHING. This works the best and I wake up refreshed. Since 1996 I haven't slept this good."


"Prevented migraines, but made me want to cry all the time and made me a raging lunatic at the same time."


"This is my 2nd day of taking the meds and yesterday was the first day I was able to come home from work and not have a panic attack! The only side effects I fell is dry mouth I slept so good last night."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is my second colonoscopy.  The first one 3 years ago my doctor had me do an over the counter Miralax-Dulcolax bowel prep the day before the procedure.  It was a several hour ordeal and not very fun between the extended time on the toilet, the amount of water I had to drink and the ahem chafing down there from wiping.  This time around my doctor prescribed Suprep.  This has been a much easier experience.  First of all, I'm pretty much cleaned out after a couple of hours, unlike the several hours from my first go around.  That by itself is worth it since I've had to endure fewer wipes and hence less chafing. The taste isn't so bad.  I drink Pedialyte from post drinking hangovers and I would say that Suprep tastes exactly like Pedialyte."


"I first used Tussionex in 1981. At that time it was called Tussionex Susp. and contained only 5mg hydrocodone per dose. They also had a tablet version available back then, which equaled one teaspoon of the suspension. The reason that it is so effective over other cough remedies, even other syrups which contain hydrocodone, is due to the type of hydrocodone used.
"


"I am on my second Implanon and I love it. I have only had about six episodes of light spotting for two to three days in that time, so it's working as intended! I've gained about thirty pounds, but I've also got other health issues going on so I'm not ready to blame it all on the implant. (There was also cheesecake and ice cream involved.. I regret nothing!)
It helped with cramps, mood swings, raging hunger, and heavy bleeding and clots for almost seven days every 28 days. I am much easier to live with even if there's more of me to go around. My migraines aren't any worse or more frequent.
I'm absolutely terrible at remembering pills, the ring was getting expensive, and my insurance doesn't cover birth control. It was a good option for me!"


"I had the first Euflexxa shot  (both knees) 3 days ago. The left knee feels AMAZING already. Like Wow. The right one which has significantly more damage and has had 2 surgeries is bad... really, really bad. Since the shot,  I can't put any weight on it at all. it feels full as if the fluid did not disperse. Disappointed because I really needed the pain gone in the right but I'm glad about the left. Hopefully next shots will be better."


"my side effects after one dose  include: headache, lightheadedness/dizziness, sedation/drowsiness, fever, sweating, weakness, abnormal heart rhythms, blood pressure abnormalities, wheezing/asthma, hot flashes."


"I have been battling major depression and anxiey for years and was at the point of saying this illness is meant to be my fatality.

After several tries on different antidepressants.
Trintellix has given me a new outlook on life. If you are at the point of tiresome trial and error do not give up until you try Trintellix. The  benefits out way the side effects."


"I was on zepatier for a 3 month treatment. Read my review from late February to get early details but long story short I got my test results today and am officially Sustained Viral Response undetectable for 12 weeks (SVR12). For me the treatment was a breeze as I had 0 side effects. I was undetected 30 days into treatment and have remained that way ever since. I highly recommend zepatier for anyone battling hep c. You will be very glad you did."


"After taking the pill for 3 years I had to switch to a new form of birth control. My gyno highly suggested I try Nexplanon and I wish I never did. I had it for a little over a month and I had so many side affects. I was nonstop spotting, had inflammation down there 3 different times, and the worst mood swings. I was constantly either extremely depressed or really angry. To the point where I truly feared I was going to hurt someone. I finally got it removed today, very quick but painful once the numbing goes away. I'm looking forward to being my normal self again. I would not recommend this to anyone. "


"I was on simvistatin and got leg pain. I got switched to pravistatin and am now experiencing shoulder pain and weakness.  I plan to see what else I can take."


"On day 10 of Fetzima 40mg after lexapro stopped helping me even though i still take it. So far so good it seems to be helping my mood hope it continues. No side effects that i notice. Going to be upped to 80mg as long as my BP is ok. The struggle continues wont stop till i find some kind of normality"


"I almost backed out of getting Implanon because I was so intimidated by the negative reviews. While this birth control isn't perfect, I love it. I haven't had ANY negative mood swings, any weight gain, any acne or food cravings. The only down side is that my period is kind of a pain. I spot for about 2 weeks, have 1 week of a normal period, and then am off for 3-4 weeks. For the first 6 months it was extremely sporatic and almost non-stop. But now it is pretty regular just long. A small price to pay for birth control that is foolproof and effective, and doesn't require me to actually remember to take it. "


"I just got mine in August 09 once I had my first child. It works good. I started gaining weight but have lost it. I weigh 111lbs so I'm okay where I am at. As for the symptoms I do bleed every 3 months or so and it goes on for about 3 weeks but I'm okay with that. I thinks it's probably my body getting rid of all the bad stuff. I think it is probably the best birth control since you dont have to worry, forget about taking it or anything."


"I have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) and had suffered with outbreaks for years (1/month).  Because of MCS, my body can turn a medication into a poison, so I was always too afraid to seek a remedy.  When outbreaks became too frequent, I caved in under duress.  My Gyno prescribed Valtrex (not the generic) because the generics are inconsistent.  I took one 500mg pill per day.  This medication rocks!  I took it for almost 7 years and did not have one single breakout and my body did not have any negative reactions to it!!!  About 1.5 years ago, I stopped taking it because I couldn't afford it! Even though insurance covered a small portion of it.  And 1.5 years later I'm having a breakout.  I wiill go back to daily dose."


"Took this at night while waiting on an Allegra order. It was not terribly effective on my indoor/outdoor allergies. I felt marginally less wheezy at night, but my nose was stuffed and eyes itchy the next morning.

On top of that, it makes me sluggish and stupid for a solid 24 hours. Forget drinking on this pill; the alcohol will go straight to your head. Granted, the label says all of this, but these itty-bitty pills aren't effective enough to be worth it."


"I now rarely get sick but I've had sinusitis for years due to my allergies. I've found out from my experience with sinus infections that there is no better drug than LEVAQUIN  for killing a sinus infection. I just went to the doctor for my ears being clogged for about 4 weeks now and she said I have fluid behind my ear drums and prescribed me 7 days of Levaquin 500mg. I'm about to start taking it tonight and in a few days I'll see results... I've used it a number of times for bad sinus infections and it never fails to work w/ no side effects that I can see. Great drug.  :  )"


"I started taking one pill each morning to increase my breastmilk about a week ago.  My breastmilk had increased tremendously but I have had to get up several times in the middle of the night to pee and last night... I didn't get up.  I peed myself in my sleep! I haven't done that since I was a kid!  Not sure if it was the reglan that had me knocked out so hard but it was awful. I can't believe I did that.  I have been drinking lots of water as I was told to, and it does help milk supply. But man!"


"I've been on this birth control for almost a year now and I've gained about ten pounds and sex drive has decreased. My only use of contraceptive working great on that part but I'm thinking of changing due to my weight gain and decreased sex drive. I don't know if that's normal after taking for so long or if I didn't notice until now."


"The suprep was repulsive. It took over 1.5 hours to get the first bottle down. Not vomiting was a struggle. The taste is like sea water and just hard to tolerate. Adding ice a helped a teeny tiny bit. It did what it was supposed to do. It's effective but tastes horrible. Unfortunately I vomited up the second bottle and was turned away for my colonoscopy because my discharge was still very dark. She told me it should be the color of urine. She sent me home with magnesium citrate which made all the difference in the world. It's a liquid that you don't dilute. It's like very bitter 7UP. It was much easier for me to get down and stay down."


"I am rating Zarah a 5/10 because I did like some aspects of this med. I did not have any unnecessary bleeding during the month which was great, my acne cleared up significantly and my periods were very regular and not that heavy. I did gain some weight on this med but nothing too serious and I did have a headache when I first started this medication & on my periods. BUT I have recently stopped this med I was EXTREMELY** anxious during the time I was on this medication. I cried at least 4-5 times a week and would usually have at least one breakdown  a day. Crying, chest pain, trouble breathing, couldn't focus. Just writing this so those feeling this way know they are not alone. I am feeling much better and hope I continue to get better."


"I had to take the drug every 8 hours for 7 days. All the other reviews claiming this drug gives horrible side effects is false. For the first 3 days, I had slight nausea, nothing unbearable. The last day I made the mistake of splitting the pill, to make it easier to swallow, which was a bad idea. I got extreme nausea and couldn't sleep for hours. Only cons of this pill is the taste, the pill starts dissolving as soon as it hits your tongue. It is a pretty big pill, which is why I cut it in half. Just stick with the size though. On the third day of taking this medication, the discharge and smell of BV was completely gone. I would take this drug again, the minor side effects sure beat having BV."


"Started having bad headaches for 2 weeks and realized blood pressure was high. I started taking Bystolic and headaches went away and I have no side effects. My BP is the best it's ever been. I take 5mg daily and have been taking for 4 months"


"This medicine is wonderful for nausea. It helped me with a bad case of vertigo. I was so sick and it was like
a miracle how fast and effective it worked."


"I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome nearing two years ago. I am also one of those people that ends up having every side effect possible. I haven't had one single side effect which is glorious! I've tried Alesse/Alysena, Yaz, Tri-Cyclen, and some other kind. All with horrible side effects. It's been a week so far and this is beyond the point where I would be searching for another type.

Highly recommend. "


"I used to have migraines for so many years, no treatments work until I have BOTOX injections. Now just use over the counter medications."


"For those who are prescribed Valtrex who then report they have not gotten relief--make sure your next prescription is not filled with the generic version.  That happened to me, I had been taking Valtrex for about 10 years with great success.  Then it stopped working to my dismay.  I realized the prescription bottle contained the generic version.   I had to go back to my dr and explain the generic version's ineffectiveness on me and to specify NO GENERIC. I'm back on Valtrex and it works wonderfully."


"I'm taking a sample my GI doctor gave me. He gave me one sample. I started with the 145 mcg.

It works very quickly. Don't take it if you have any plans for the next several hours.

This may be just me, but once things get started, they don't like to stop until every drop of moisture has been wrung from my guts. I'm planning on asking for a prescription for Bentyl or Motofen to get my guts to calm down when it's clear it's no longer necessary.

"


"After spending over two decades without any treatment, I sought help for my transsexualism; my doctor first prescribed spironolactone, followed by estradiol. It took a bit of time to find the proper dose to balance my estrogen levels, but patience paid off--no negatives! With estradiol, I've finally been able to start building a life for myself!"


"I am a 31 year old male. Lexapro was prescribed because of depression and anxiety. Before this medication I wanted to do nothing but sleep all day and eat to comfort myself when I wasn't sleeping. It was affecting my marriage, my ability as a father, and my business. (I am a Realtor) Since starting this drug two weeks ago at 10mg daily, I am a new man. Within 3 to 4 days I noticed a difference. I now feel 10 years younger. I have a renewed love of life and my family. I give it 9 out of 10 because it does cause some nausea and drowsiness, so I just take it before bed. NO ADVERSE SEXUAL ISSUES...I actually can't keep my hands off of my wife now!"


"I was put on Effexor 37.5 for hot flashes.  I had uterine cancer and went into very fast menopause.  After trying to live with the hot flashes for about 6 months, I asked for help.  Effexor has been wonderful. I am now able to sleep through the night.  I really only have a hot flash when I forget to take my medicine."


"I got it 3 months ago. The insertion was quick but very painful, after it was over I laid down for ten minutes and I was ready to go, some cramping but nothing an Advil can't fix. I did bleed heavily for the first 2 months during my period and spotting too, and cramping bad. Now on the 3rd month I am spotting a little bit and no heavy periods. No weight gain but I have been breaking out a lot, this is a huge concern because I have always had a clear face, I just purchased some acne creams, I'll see if that helps. Still, getting pimples beats getting pregnant for me. My sex drive has decreased so my partner has to work a little harder to get me going. Other than that I will be sticking to Mirena.  I am 29, no children."


"I have had this medicine when I have had colonoscopies and endoscopies. Also when I had two total knee replacements. It is awesome and causes me absolutely no problem. Keeps a person comfortable and I have had no addictive reactions to it."

"I have been on Depo for a year and now I think it would be good to take a break. After about 3 injections I saw no sign of a period whatsoever, but after about a year I have gained about 10lbs and some minor acne. BUT- I had terrible heavy periods that I would throw up from the pain from before, and Depo elimnated my pain and really helped me be more functional. It did change my mood, I have been a little depressed over the last year so I think that while I can safely be off birth-control I should for a while. It worked great as a birth control and saved me from my periods. What I've heard about not getting your period back for a while and bone density loss does worry me, I'll definitely use Depo again though. SO CONVENIENT."


"I was on Microgestin Fe for about 2 years . Even In the beginning I never had any bad/abnormal side effects. With it I experienced a small amount of weight gain, tender breast every month around my cycle, increase in my breast size,  and my monthly periods lasting 2-4 days with minimal cramping. The only reason I switched was because I wanted less periods. (I switched to Amethia-Lo and I've been on it for about a week now. I hoping it works well with me but if not, I'll definitely switched back to Microgestin Fe)."


"I've dealt with joint pain from early teens into my forties from sports. But the pain in my ankle and big toe would almost bring tears to my eyes. I took 1 x 50 mg capsule and like the one person said 90 mins later ... Someone turned off the switch. And my knees even went from 8 to 3 on a pain scale 1-10. It's hard not to ramble on when you deal with a high level of pain for so many yrs, and you find something that works with such precision. "


"Doesn't work! This is a totally ineffective inhaler. I gave it one star because I can't give it a lower rating."


"Along with Otezla I had great results! No itch, no misery, no side effects other than clearer skin. All my scaling and flakes are invisible  except of my left calve which is a faint light pink."


"Medicine works well. I was really scared initially but with my family and friends support, I gained strength. It worked like magic. I feel really better now.

Had some start up issues but my body gelled well with the medicine. I am glad I took the medicine."


"I have been on Zoloft for almost 6 months. I went from 25mg to 50mg and am now on 100mg. It took a while to get the dosage right but now I'm feeling a lot better. I take it for depression, anxiety and social anxiety disorder."


"After going to the ER twice in one week and my strep test coming out negative, my symptoms were so bad and visible that they started my first dose of antibiotics through IV. And sent me home with Augmentin 875 mg, after the 3rd day I was feeling better from my throat but the side affects were doing a number on me. I am super weak and tired I'm sleeping most of the day, my joints hurt my legs hurt, my chest feels tight and I'I have irregular heart beats if I move to much. I feel lethargic and I have a weird taste in my mouth, every thing taste bad. And I'm irritable,I feel so many more just don't feel like myself. I have experienced some really bad side affects but it's helping my infection. So I guess I have to deal with that for 3 more days."


"I was on Nexplanon for about 20 months, two months after having a baby. I've given it a rating of '3' simply because I did not fall pregnant. I did not have periods but the BC often made me feel pregnant, leading to me testing several times. Other side effects included: unable to lose pregnancy weight, despite breastfeeding and regular exercise. Breast cysts (which I cannot confirm was a result of Nexplanon, but the BC does increase the likelihood). Headaches for the first five months (as in, I had a headache for three out of every ten days). Low and bad moods - I had a well of anger that I could just reach into. Anxiety. Brain fog. Fatigue. In short, I really lost myself. I've been off for a month now, and feel like the old me again."


"I was on Gianvi for a month.  I found myself in a spiraling depression to the point that I was crying daily. I had terrible anxiety and trouble concentrating.  I couldn't focus and had trouble sleeping. I couldn't figure out why I was in such a funk, until I got my period and suddenly felt better.  I then googled Gianvi and discovered that this level of depression and anxiety isn't uncommon on this pill."


"After menopause I developed urge incontinence.  My urologist gave me Myrbetriq and it stopped my incontinence completely within 1 month.  However, I was also taking flecainide; found out the two should not be taken together, so I quit the Myrbetriq for about a year.  After my cardiologist weaned me off the Flecainide, I began the Myrbetriq again; I'm disappointed to say that although it has helped, the results this time are not like they were when I initially took the drug.  I still must wear pads and am debating whether to continue taking the drug."


"Before I started taking Paxil CR I felt I couldn't function when Dr started me at a small dose until he found the right dose for me to take, and then I felt normal again."


"I'm on my second week of Aviane and my skin is breaking out sooooo bad, all over my face. I've had problems with acne before but it seems like it's pretty bad this time. people say that you break out badly during the first pack but then during the second one your skin clears. so let's hope that's true. I haven't experienced any other side affects, except breast tenderness and mild abdominal cramps. I'll probably post an update on my acne in a month or two. :)"


"I'm 18 years old and I started this birth control 3 months ago. I went on birth control specifically for my acne and my irregular periods. This birth control did the exact opposite of helping my acne. In the beginning I broke out extremely on my forehead and hair line. They aren't even pimples just huge bumps and you can't do anything about. It is my 3rd month taking it and I'm still breaking out. I absolutely do not recommend this birth control for the use of acne. However, this did make my period very consistent, extremely light, and barely any cramps"


"I have had psoriasis my entire life, the last 6 years, it has been so bad on my feet, walking is a problem. I have been on Otezla for about 3 weeks. Here is what I have experienced; I have had some good results on my feet, but a bit of a trade off. Loss of appetite, nausea occasionally, no headaches at all, and only one day of feeling lethargic and a bit sad. I also get itchy, sometimes my skin crawls especially at night, and yesterday my bones actually ached. It is so random when this comes and goes. I am still on the fence a bit with it. I am hoping these things will go away. I haven't heard anything about long term effects."


"I really like this birth control, which is a surprise after reading all the negative reviews. I just finished the first 3 month pack. I had absolutely no breakthrough bleeding, no crazy weight gain, and no other terrible side effects. It made me a little sick to my stomach the first week and that is all I have noticed. I would highly recommend this medicine to anyone who doesn't need a large dose of estrogen to keep breakthrough bleeding from happening."


"Ciprofloxacin is a great antibiotic for a urinary tract infection in 2 days it'll be gone! Pain free."


"I have been on this drug for 4 weeks I notice very subtle changes. I've titrated up 25mg a week every week  and I'm currently taking 125 mg. I still am probably 3 weeks away for full effects but I am noticing some good things. I no longer think about killing myself all day and I have less anxiety than I did four weeks ago. I feel optimistic that better days are ahead. I also take ativan for anxiety but will likely discontinue once I'm at the key mg amount which I believe is 200."


"It seems to work well, but I noticed a more tired feeling with it during my first period and my cramps were worse."


"i have been on Brintellix for 6 months and feel amazing. I have energy and desire to be active and involved. I had noticed an improvement in my ability to concentrate and remember tasks. I love it and am so glad I feel whole."


"I get migraines with and without pain. But usually have blurred vision and nausea.  I believe its food related. I've kept a log of food intake, activities, allergies. It comes down to flour, msg, gluten."


"I am writing this review because most people don't bother writing reviews when they have a positive experience, and it can sway others not to use depo when many women don't have issues. I have been on depo consistently for 5 years now, with zero complaints. In the first year I had irregular periods, and stopped having them completely after that. I get about one period per year now, if that. I did not get any acne, but I've never had acne problems anyways. I do believe depo causes weight gain, although it could just be because I started taking it at 18 years old (about 120 lbs) and now I'm 23 (145 lbs). I can't say for sure if it's the depo, but I have to work out just to stay the same. All around though, I would recommend depo 100%!"


"I have been on the mini pill for a couple of years now, and while I don't like it as much as I liked my previous BC, it is the appropriate method for me right now. Because I have migraines, my doctor did not want me on a combined pill due to increased risk of stroke.

I will eventually switch to the copper IUD when I have a job where I can handle the heavy periods it MAY cause. For now, I am not prepared to deal with heavy periods due to my job description and hours so I will stick with the mini pill since my periods are pretty short and light (albeit unpredictable). My worst side effect is breakthrough bleeding or surprise periods, usually from being late for a pill.

Compared to previous combination BCP, I have had fewer side effects."


"Taste, after receiving a bottle in a different state as I moved, just wanting to know if the medication suppose to taste like minty, even the bottle has a smell. Never had a smell or taste before and have been using spironolactone for over a year for a previous stroke"


"I went on accutane while I was in my freshman year in high school. I suffered from severe acne in middle school. After the first round my skin was very clear. The acne came back again and I went on the second round and again it gave me perfect skin. I love this medicine. It did woners for my skin. The dry lips are worth the end result."


"I have had the exact same reaction to Ocella as the poster named "No Babies, but I'm Crazy". I switched to Ocella from Levora because Levora was giving me really bad mood swings. When I was on it, I would burst into tears all the time for no reason. This side effect decreased dramatically when I switched to Ocella, but I do still get mood swings quite often. The biggest difference is that my moods on Ocella are more angry/agitated than weepy (which they were when I took Levora). However, I feel like the moods are more manageable, which is why I'm still on Ocella after 4 months (I stopped taking Levora after 2). When it comes time to renew my prescription in 2 months, I may consider choosing a new pill."


"This drug is totally ineffective."


"Took the 5 day Z-pack for this bronchitis I have had a month now. After the 1st day I felt great, but then downhill from there. 6 days after finishing it I wound up in the E.R., they gave the Z-pack again...much to my chagrin. I finished it 3 days ago and while I have more energy, my cough is still bad. I know the infection is still there, my white blood cell count is high at 18,000, but they also put me on Prednisone which causes high white  blood cell count. So they can't differentiate/determine cause of high white count, if infection or prednisone. Chest x-ray shows bronchitis. Friends who've had bronchitis are suggesting Bactrim, will discuss with my doctor."


"I have terrible problems with anxiety. Psychiatrists tried me on mood stabilizers which are terrrible and made me sick. My doctor tried Xanax and it made me drowsy and it couldn't touch my anxiety. I finally found a doctor who prescribed me Clonazepam and my anxiety completely disappeared. My doctor realized that the chance of getting addicted to this drug was outweighed by what my anxiety was doing to me. I take as little as I can because I don't want to be addicted to anything but my anxiety would have killed me eventually. I am going to try to quit every so often to see if my condition has changed, I don't plan to stay on this all my life."


"Significant and easily observable reduction of sex drive and erection, but not enough to be a serious issue. Not a single other negative side effect, even during the first days of taking the medicine. I actually had *some* extremely positive side effects in the first week of using, unfortunately, those last only for a week max.

Keep in mind that I'm very tolerable to SSRI-s - I didn't have problems with Prozac and Zoloft either. "


"I read the reviews after I bought it 2 hrs ago. I am horrified! but I went ahead and gave it a try....so far the itching is annoying but bearable. The cream coming out is itchy, but the cream "inside" wise feeling is not bad all. It's there and I can feel it but not as bad as I expected! I'm giving this a 5 FOR NOW because the itchiness experience is ok. I'll update after treatment!"


"My p-doc wanted to get me off lithium, which I have been on for 12 years.  Lithium was causing a big strain on my kidneys which would eventually put me on dialysis.  Lithium gave me amazing stability, but the combination with Geodon caused ED to be a factor on a semi frequent occasion.  I lost 14 lbs recently before I started Depakote, and since I've been on Depakote for 3 months I haven't gone up in weight at all.  I've had a bigger appetite.  My only complaint has been stomach diarrhea, many times with sudden onset.  Sometimes it's constipation for a day followed by several days of diarrhea."


"This is an exceptional drug for pain relief but the side effects far outweigh the pain relieving benefits. I took Ultram ER,300 MG for 3 months for low back pain and like I said it was a savior for my pain. However, I started to have some strange dreams with muscle spasms, constipation and extreme fatigue. I stopped the drug about 10 days ago and have finally started to feel better. I am 73 years old and in good health, except for the back pain."


"Prozac 10mg  Changing my life, one day @ a time!!   LOVE it!!"


"Tried this after Lexapro didn't work for me. Started 50mg of Zoloft and gradually got worse. Really didn't enjoy this drug. Decreased mood & irritability, increased suicidal thoughts, completely wiped out my appetite. Felt much better after I stopped taking it (had taken it for 4 weeks)."


"I love this medicine! My anxiety started off as mild and as years past slowly got worse. I went from having social anxiety to generalized anxiety and then major depression. It took me 7 years to find this medicine but once I found it I gained my life back. Still have a little anxiety but most is gone. This medicine was great for my major depression. Yes it does have some side effects but most will disappear with time and like most other users will vouch, the benefits far outweigh the side mild side effects. "


"I have had chronic pain since I was about 11 yrs old, I'm 43 now, due to a genetic blood disease. It's caused arthritis that's led to neuropathy, spine degeneration, and many damaged joints.

I have been taking toradol and gabapentin for nerve pain for almost 3 years. Recently a bleed in my feet caused extensive nerve damage that would make my feet burn at night. My doctor added 50 mg of Elavil to my bedtime meds and after 6 weeks I notice a significant improvement. It has been 3 months and 90% of my foot pain and numbness is gone. I have also noticed an overall improvement in my face pain and back pain.

I am lucky enough to not have any notable side effects."


"I get bacterial vaginitis quite often, 5-6 times a year. I'm taking the pill now and I was given some NEW advice from the pharmacist!

The instructions on the bottle say DO NOT drink alcohol, however I was told that even USING products that contain an alcohol ingredient can give you horrible rashes and hives. So just a word of caution, invest in some regular Dove soap alcohol and sulfate free lotion and put your pretty perfumes and lotions on the shelf for a little over a week!"


"Asthma all my life (40 yrs old) but wanted to cut down / get off the steroid inhaler (Symbicourt) as it does lead to weight gain / hunger pangs and bloating of face.

Offered Singulair - Took one tablet in the daytime - Wrong thing to do !! Completely sedated feeling.

Made a call to continue taking the following treatment :

1. Symbicourt in the morning (Symbicourt users will concede it's like drinking 10 Cups of Coffee)

2. Take a half of Singulair before bed (I have the best nights sleep every night due to its mildly sedative effect).

Best of both worlds.. I have never had broken sleep for 40 years.. once I started with Singular I sleep like a baby and wake up completely refreshed."


"I was on tri-sprintec for years with no real problems. I had consistent break through bleeding for a few months in a row and had to switch to something monophasic. I didn't realize until after the switch how bloated and constipated tri-sprintec made me. I thought I had IBS or something, but no, it was the bcp"


"I have been on tri-sprintec off and on for the last 5 years or so.
PROS: Skin is clear, minimal weight gain (if any). My breasts swell but aren't sore.
CONS: Recently I have a headache for the first three days of each new pack. Over time I feel like it has given me more mood swings than it used to. Recently I have been feeling that has been making be feel depressed/sad. I just haven't felt myself. The breakthrough bleeding has also gotten worse. I had it for a week in the middle of my pill pack. I'm definitely bloated on this pill and retain water. It gets worse closer to my period.

No problems during first 4 years! My body must be changing...GYNO switched me to Microgestin 1/20. hopefully its a smooth transition!"


"I have severe IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and could not find relief until I was prescribed codeine for it. At this point most of my symptoms are either completely gone or nearly gone.

I can say that codeine is a wonder drug when it comes to resolving the symptoms."


"Great medication. Works fast and lasts all day long as long as you drink cranberry juice or water. Much better than AZO."


"First time taking the medication. I had side effects within the 1 day, very bad stomach pain felt like I was going to vomit the pills but I didn't and vision was kinda weird. After the first day I still feel weakness now I'm on my 4th day I sleep more than usual and my joints ache a lil hope this all goes away !!!!"


"I have been on Xanax for well over 6 years. I informed my Doctor that my anxiety has been out of control and I didn't know what to do. I was not at all depressed. (Just TONS of stress) I work over time at a HIGHLY stressful job and I am a caregiver to my 32 old husband that just recently became disabled last year.
The Doctor sent me home with a 30 day sample and asked me to try it out.  I was VERY hesitant. I came on here and read the reviews a few days later, I decided to TRY it.
I am on week 2...only complaint is that I am constantly thirsty, hot and not hungry. Stress less and in a better mood over all. Very Pleased!"


"Has major side effects. Gives me restless leg syndrome"


"I had taken temodar for anaplastic astrocytoma who grade 3. Took radiation ,7 weeks temodar during radiation days 100 mg per day, then 400 mg on every day for 5 days in 28 days cycle. After completing this dose for a year it came to know that the medication did not worked and new growth of tumor found. Then dosage changed to 100 mg daily but that also could not stop growth of the tumor but moderately grown as revealed In MRI scans done twice in 4 months"


"I've tried what feels like every birth control for the last 15 years, and always come back to gianvi. I have severe PMDD. Gianvi is the only birth control that controls my cramps, my excessive anxiety, and also keeps those hormonal cysts on my chin at bay. I took it straight for 8 years, came off it because of those scary ads on tv about blood clots, and tried lo-lo. My hair was falling out in massive clumps within two months so I stopped bc entirely. Well, after 6 months I realized my life was revolving around my cycle because of the pmdd anxiety. So, back on gianvi. Within weeks, I felt back to my normal self. 8 because it does worsen my cellulite on thighs that almost completely goes away when I stop taking it. But the cellulite is WORTH IT."


"I have been smoke free for 10 weeks now. I have smoked for over 30 years, at least a pack a day, I did not think I would ever kick the habit. Chantix is amazing, after 5 days on the medicine cigarettes were making me feel so sick that I threw them away. I have not slipped up once, I can honestly say I did not miss smoking. I feel so much better, more energy, can smell and taste better. I have had no side effects, no weight gain either, actually a little weight loss probably because I am out walking about more now as I have more stamina. Do not hesitate to try this medicine, it is a lifesaver."


"This crap should be pulled from the shelves!  The burning and itching are unbearable!!! My husband it out buying me a douche in hopes I can rinse this horrible stuff out!!!!!! I will be calling company and FDA to complain!!"


"This was the most vile, hideous concoction I've ever had the misfortune of consuming.  I have a very strong stomach and I was barely able to hold the first dose down and am already dreading the second dose. This is my third colonoscopy. Both previous times, I was given pills and my choice of drinks.  I would never recommend the Suprep to another living, breathing creature."


"Tried this after a motorcycle accident gave me some issues.  Didn't really do anything.  I've used viagra/cialis in the past just for fun, and both of those gave results.  With this one, couldn't tell you I even took anything."


"I started taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo almost a year ago and all it has done is make me crazy. The first couple of months I felt nauseous and lightheaded. It didn't help with my period if possible it made it worse. My mood went up and down all the time. I felt anxious and worried all the time and it made me feel crazy. I recently changed it and I regret not changing it sooner. "


"3 months on Savella experienced no relief for Fibromyalgia. Dr increased dosage to double. Even though I was experiencing severe constipation to point of rectal bleeding, insomnia, intense pain. 2 months later I experienced severe seizure, stopped breathing, heart beating, resulting in a stroke."


"It works great, especially for night pain.  Have it on the night stand, close and handy."


"A very positive experience without noside effects."


"Testim never really got my level up.  It was a pain to put on and took forever to dry.
I was asked over and over by people what cologne I had on.  It became awkward trying to think up something other than having to explain it was testosterone gel...
After years of messing with this the doctor recently switched me to Aveed...
Too early to determine if this works as hoped but so far it seems less hassle that a gel"


"Post root canal.  Taken orally 10mg tabs.  Minor relief of pain but severe stomach cramps.  Stopped taking them and took advil liquid gels/ extra strength tylemol combo which proved way more effective.  Took another Toradol a few days later with same results.  Stomach cramps and minor pain relief."


"I have been taking the BC Sronyx for about 2 months, my period have not came on (which is AWESOME), THE DOWNFALL, my hair has started to fall out and become thin, I am very moody (angry), I have gained 10 lbs within the 2 month timeframe. I am starting to have pimples on my face that I never had in my 22 years of life. UGH hate and Today I stopped taking it."


"Belviq simply killed my appetite, especially the urge I have to snack in the evening. I've lost 14 lbs in almost 4 weeks and I'm well on my way to lose 30 lbs. I sleep much better too. I don't know if that's from Belviq or less snacking in the evening but it is a fact."


"I had Skyla "installed" 3 years ago and had switched out for a new one yesterday.  The first time I cramped spotted for weeks but it slowlly faded. The removal and new insertion was rather unpleasant, but not as bad as having it placed in the first time. I took one dose of Advil yesterday, but that's it. The pain today was minimal, a few twinges here and there, but nothing that required medication. Overall, I am pleased with it. I got it originally because my cramps were so bad, they sidelined me for days. Now, I barely notice them and my flow drastically reduced. No weight gain to speak of and no additional acne. My migraines have increased but they had been over the last several years so I'm not sure it's connected."


"I was on this for a few months. I couldn't function at all. Although I did lose weight. I'm trying risperidone now. I really hope it works for me. All I want is to be mentally sound...bi-polar/panic anxiety disorder."


"I began Cymbalta 3 months ago and couldn't be happier! It has made my life more than just an existence."


"It has been effective in preventing pregnancy. However, it makes me feel like shit. I am nauseous all the time, especially the first couple of days after putting it in. I have heartburn and fatigue that has only started since I have been on the nuvaring. I got pregnant on the pill and that's why I switched, but I feel so bad all the time because of it. I haven't stopped taking it yet, I'm on month four because I keep hoping it will get better, but it doesn't. It has been effective in preventing pregnancy - feeling so crappy has urged me to take a lot of pregnancy tests, and it's so convenient to only worry about it twice a month (put it in, take it out). I wish it didn't make me feel so bad, because I would continue to use it."


"I've been on this pill for 2 months now and have been experiencing breast pain. Bloating. Fatigue.I have really bad mood swings and I yell for no apparent reason. And Severe cramps. And during the second month I've had my period twice. This is my first time using birth control."


"Have suffered from bouts of severe anxiety over the last few years that would leave me bedridden, suicidal, unable to work or eat. Tried Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Cymbalta, Luvox and honestly thought nothing would ever work for me. All made me worse. Psych doctor wanted to try Effexor XR but I was worried about the withdrawing from it - after trying everything else I finally agreed. Has taken a month to feel a difference. I'm enjoying things again, not chewed up by horrible anxiety, I'm actually HAPPY?! 1st month on it was so challenging - very low, anxious, exhausted, nauseous. But now no side effects. I feel like a light's gone on. Like I am getting my life back. I could sob with relief. Truly believed I'd never get better, but here I am."


"Stopped the bleeding but had dizziness and mood swings. Even one out burst of anger. Also abdominal cramps. But for one week so far 100 times better then the last 2 months of bleeding. I am 58 and use an estrogen patch. Also prometrium but not enough to balance the unopposed estrogen which caused a thickening of the lining."


"Linzess has been my best friend for a year . After spending thirty years with painful stomach aches, I feel like I have been given a new life!  I take one 290 capsule in the morning , usually run to bathroom a few times with no pain. No pain. No lying in bed all day feeling exhausted. No worrying about going to work, shopping, wondering if I will be able to make appointments without cancelling. No more staying in the bathroom all day. I tried hundreds of things, and Linzess came through for me and my family. Forever grateful."


"So I've had I guess chronic yeast infections this year. About 4 this year. Now I have a yeast infection YET AGAIN! it's mild and not too severe. No swelling just a moderate burning and itch with the discharge and redness. I bought the monistat 3 day cream applicators only. Omg.... last night was possibly the worst syptoms I've ever had. It was burning and itching! I felt like a torch was on my vagina but it only lasted 1 1/2 hours and then it was manageable. Now it looks better and it's less irritated. I guess I'll finish it.. ughhhhhh god help me."


"I get mild bouts of atrial fibrillation every couple of months and I also have problems with my body producing too much adrenaline for no reason which the cardiologist thinks may be causing my atrial fibrillation.  He has put me on 40mg - 80mg (yes small dose) to be taken when I either have noticeable heart problems or adrenaline issues as sotalol is a beta blocker.  I only take a dose once or twice a month and it seems to work within about 30 minutes. I have no negative effects from it and it fixes both my atrial fibrillation and provides an immediate calming effect like my adrenaline levels have dropped. Much better than anti-anxiety medicines that I was originally given."


"Had it done 26 hours ago and immediatly felt better, much more movement, almoest painfree.

My only problem is that i'm so used to walk sparing my knee that I do not walk ""normally"" yet. There is alway the scariness of sudden hurt but I'm feeling more confident by the hours and was told it take around 6 week to be fully effective.

My doctor is amazing and did not feel the needle or maybe like a moskito bite. I have not had any side effect besides comfort yet. but agin it's been 26 hours."


"Tried Rozerem for the first time the other day. It definitely helped me fall asleep, and without the "heavy sedative" feelings that come along with most other drugs-  such as Ambien, Lunesta, etc. closest to a natural feeling of wanting to go to sleep, very calming, also helped with racing thoughts. The letdown of this medication was the next day...could NOT get up! Felt as though I had taken a tranquilizer. All day feeling...like I had taken a high double-dose of Ambien.  This is my experience though, unfortunately - seemed perfect at first. Everyone is different though, most will probably hopefully have a much different experience. I say try it."


"At 65yo and lifetime in the sun and numerous treatments including surgery, cryotherapy etc Doctor said will have to use Efudix to whole face as had untold AK's plus Bowens Disease. Told it was a ''brutal'' treatment. He was right.
All I can say is that this treatment was the most painfull experience in my life. By week two I was in agony but forced myself to continue the three week treatment. A word of warning. Under no circumstances get this stuff on your genitals. I did and it was agonising. Pain so intense sent me into depression for 3 months. Results were excellent however and no regrets."


"Use it and love the results"


"Long story short, I took this pill immediately after having sex for the first time in 2 years after having my 1st child, ran to CVS, bought $50 pill and took it. Found out I was pregnant 2wks later. Carried the baby and still felt blessed to have it even though I tried to prevent it, it happened, oh well, and i was 8weeks and 4days today and i miscarried at 8weeks and 2days. Had surgery done this morning to remove placenta since I've already miscarried the baby in the toilet the night prior. Well i feel like this pill caused it and made it a toxic environment so it wouldn't last. All I gotta say is good luck to u all."


"Please be careful with this drug -- it is incredibly easy to abuse/get addicted to. However, chronic fatigue (CFS) has next to no treatments/cures, so my doctor started me on Adderall (instant release, 20mg) 2  years ago. (Note: I have never increased my dose and probably never will.) CFS can make you feel like a useless  b/c you're so tired you feel useless to society. You feel like your life slips away from you slowly and you start to blame yourself and become depressed b/c of it. Adderall helps me to live and actually enjoy my life. I think we all deserve that much. Side effects for me are mild but: slight social awkwardness, decreased appetite, unstable blood sugar, fast heart beat, some anxiety, dry eyes. Still worth it for me."


"I have been on Paxil for a year now. I can honestly say overall it works wonders for my anxiety and stress. However, the weight gain is too much for me to deal with. It is difficult to lose weight on Paxil. I am going to be changing meds soon. If you have no weight issues to begin with or not self conscious of weight gain, give it a try.  This medication is great for its intended purposes."


"I am a male and this medication made me extremely tired. It seemed extremely effective at lowering my blood pressure and pulse - way more so than any other blood pressure medicines or beta blocker. But unfortunately I could barely keep my eyes open on it. I needed to take one pill twice a day to maintain the low blood pressure. I tried a half pill first and it still made me tired and I just did not feel right in the head on it."


"This is the only pain drug I can take and still be able to function."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 19, and I'm now 23. I have a "severe" case as my psychologist & therapist would say in the 1 visit I met with them. I started out on Adderall and Adderall XR, but had to stop taking it due to the side effects like mood swings and Parkinson's like shaking in my hands. So my dr changed my meds to Vyvanse. I've been taking it for 1 yr and I no longer have mood swings or shake which is awesome because I don't think someone would like a shaking dental hygienist. I like Vyvanse because it still helps me concentrate, stay organized, and remember things that are told to me, but it wears off quickly. That is my only dislike about Vyvanse."


"-- Initial ramp up weeks made me sleepy and very "cloudy". Good luck if you manage a team at work or have a detailed oriented job.
-- The "best" period lasted for a couple of months. Sleeping was normal and I felt pretty "clear-headed". However, it made my emotions "neutral" to almost everything. Like a cardboard cut-out of the real me. No laughing at jokes. No "natural" sense of urgency when the situation called for one.
-- Then the side-effects really kicked in. I would get dizzy when standing up. Then dizzy just sitting up in bed. I recall I read something about it can mess with your blood pressure. The "gray cardboard cutout" feeling got much stronger, plus I could not easily carry on a conversation during meetings."


"I have been using Benicar for about a year now and it is great. It is one of those medicines that I can't TELL I'm taking. No real side effects, I was taking it at night before I went to bed but I was waking up to go to the bathroom a lot. Now I take it mid morning and I still have to go to the bathroom a lot but at least it isn't waking me up. On the days I forget I realize it because I'm not going to the bathroom 1/2 as much as when I do. For whatever that's worth. Great medication though and glad I started after being very resistant about going to the doctor."


"I was quite sore from excessive coughing from an up and down bout with the flu. Took one Tylenol 3 tab as prescribed and was actually able to sit up and move around in bed with no pain. However, it did make me slightly dizzy with mild stomach upset. I would not take it when I have to be up and about. Took it at night anyway so I could rest. I can live with the side effects since it's nighttime and I'm in bed anyway."


"I was taking 450mg of Lyrica a day and it was a great medicine to help with my fibromyalgia. I took it along with Tramadol. After a few months of taking it I would wake up in the morning feeling as if a train had hit me. I also gained 40lbs on Lyrica. I recently switched to Neurontin and it works great. Also, coming off Lyrica gave me horrible withdrawals for almost 2 weeks. I have been off of it for about 17 days and have lost 8lbs. Lyrica is a great medicine if you don't mind gaining weight."


"Brilliant -no drowsiness- no side effects at all."


"This pill is wonderful. Had an accident with my boyfriend. Condom broke of course around 1am. I freaked out. Took the pill the next day around noon. I read the reviews and everyone said to calm down and relax. They were right! Period came right on time. Plan B is amazing! Just try not to stress about it and let it do it's thing. These situations happen!"


"I'm 25 with one child & had Skyla inserted about 8 hours ago. This was my fist time ever trying an IUD. I asked the doctor for ibuprofren before the insertion. The pain was barely anything. It felt like a slight pinch and scrape but very tolerable. The procedure took about 1-2 minutes. I've had maybe 3, 4 little cramps at the most since & a little spotting. I've always struggled with acne and from reading some reviews seems as if Skyla might make it worse :( My fingers are crossed that it will actually help it! Haven't had it long enough to fully see how I do with it but so far I'm glad I got it! :)"


"I went to my doctor because I knew I pulled a back muscle. I tend to have issues anyways with the piraformus muscle and that aggravates the sciatica. Lower back pain and gluts tend to be an issue with me. I was getting moderate painful back spasms that felt like random poking with a sharp nail. He prescribed 10mg three times a day for 10 days. After the second day of following the instructions, I was sleeping 14 hours a day. I was a zombie, I couldn't function, and I felt depressed. Why I still rate it at an 8/10 is because it did what it was supposed to. I stopped and only take it once at night around bedtime. If you're skeptical at first taking the med, make sure you have the next day off. Don't drive on this."


"I took for 12 weeks, finished Around October, 2015! I started getting short tempered and severe short term memory loss, and depressed! I cleared and am glad I took it, but very upset about mental state. Was cleared around 8 weeks! So happy about clearing, but not happy about mental problems, could be a coincidence, but do not think so, never had mental problems before! I still think this medicine works great!"


"Someone told me to try this and of course I did being that I pay $16 a pill for axert

I took 2 at early warning signs -nothing slowed down - I took 1 more an hour later as the pain intensified - 4 hours in I took an axert - which works for me - however being that I waited so long to take it my body was completely destroyed- my head felt bruised for 2 days- I was exhausted"
