"Finally found something that worked and I actually felt like myself again. First month was free with card from manufacturer. Next month, $120 co pay, nope not happening, especially since it does not cost this company that much to make this drug. Back to feeling like crap again. Thanks Brintellix for the 4 weeks of getting to feel normal again and then making it too expensive to continue to take it! Really appreciate it!"


"I took this medication for 5 months from April 2012 through September 2012.  I used this medication as a tool.  I changed my lifestyle and thought of this pill as one toll to assist in my lifestyle change.  I started at 178 pounds and I met my goal weight of 115 pounds in December of 2012.  It is now Sept 2013, I have maintained my weight.  This is not a miracle, for lasting results you must eat right, workout and keep a healthy lifestyle.  It was wonderful in assisting me.  If you do not do the work, as soon as you go off the medicine, you will gain the weight back."


"I've been constipated for years and bisacodyl works best for me. It actually softens the poop sometimes. It's slow but it's worth it..it has become my best friend since I use it."


"I have only had Skyla for about 5 days now, but this is my review so far. Insertion was painful to me - lots of intense pressure and cramping. The good news is that the whole process only takes about five minutes. I've been pretty crampy and have had minimal spotting (both are normal). The only time it's been nearly unbearable was the first day. I had the worst cramps of my life (no exaggeration and I always have crampy periods) for several hours after insertion and no amount of Ibuprofen or heat helped me. It has been tolerable since, just a bit tender and uncomfortable. If you're going to get the Skyla, understand that it's going to take time for your body to adjust and it's no walk in the park at first but it does slowly get better."


"My 16 year old son was beginning to seclude himself in several ways from his friends despite his popularity because of his acne. Within a month of using Amnesteen his acne was drastically better and his personality was back to normal. We experienced no side effects from this medication. "


"I have always practiced safe sex, but when I heard about Nexplanon I was like why not.. it's good for 3 years, and better safe than sorry. I got it inserted 2 months ago, and after the 3rd week I started spotting (my normal period would have came a week after.) I have been spotting/ been on my period since then, so about 5 weeks now. The light spotting was no big deal, but lately it's been pretty heavy as to where I have to wear a tampon, a panty liner is not enough. I had a follow up check up a month ago, and the Dr. said everything was good: my insertion spot had healed up nicely, and the spotting was normal. But how long is it going to take for my body to adjust to it!? "


"19yrs old. Hispanic about 105 pounds. No kids. One sexual partner for years. I before this was on the pill and nueva ring to help maintain the excruciating period pains. I didn't just have bad ones. I have had to go to the hospital on more then one occasion. So the insertion was nothing compared to that but I admit if you aren't used to pain don't walk in without taking ibprophen and the pill they prescribe before the procedure. So far lots of spotting. Wear a light pad. Slight increase in acne.I pee WAY more often. Sex is great. So worth it. So freaking worth it."


"After having my first son I went on the mini pill because I was nursing him. I was on it for about two years and the side effects were minimal. However, I'm on it again now while breastfeeding and I've noticed a lot more side effects. The facial hair growth is ridiculous. I have to pluck my chin like once a week. I suspect it's also causing my moods to change. I feel manic depressive. I go from feeling great to feeling suicidal within the same two hour period.

Overall, it's doing what it's supposed to do. I haven't gotten pregnant. But maybe it's not worth it. Tracking my period and avoiding not ovulation really isn't that hard."


"I had no trouble the first month, but had a very heavy period at the end of it and then had breakthrough bleeding all month (varying in quantity) for the second month.  I thought I'd be all bled out after that and have a light period, but it was heavy again.  That was enough for me, and I switched to Ortho Tri-Cyclin Lo (which is what ended up working).  No side effects other than the breakthrough bleeding, but that was enough."


"After trying a million birth controls, I finally stayed on this one for a while. No weight gain. I was emotional and depressed around my period. And have a great sex drive. The only problem I am having now is acne. It gets worse around my period. I am switching today. I love this birth control. Wish I didn't have to switch, but I hate breakouts!"


"I have been getting urinary tract infections since I was a small child and the only antibiotic that has worked for me 100% of the time is Cipro. I have never had any side effects but I am not sensitive to any medicines that I am aware of.

I also use AZO Maximum Strength for the pain as an alternative to Pyridium although if I have a prescription, Pyridium is actually cheaper (with insurance) than purchasing AZO."


"I'm not even all the way through my first pack and I have a love hate relationship with Ocella. My docs gave me this medication to prevent future cysts; I had a 9cm and two 4cm cysts (existent since birth). I have spotting EVERY DAY! I can't tell when my period started "


"I got this as to maintain my period to stay on track/ work with abnormal period. So far it is good unless I miss some days - I have bad habit of missing some on accident.

I did notice my acne cleared up pretty well and that has been good. I'm also not sexually active

I don't get any mood swings. Pill doesn't make me gain or loose weight. I may get kinda sick every once in awhile at my stomach but it does manage to go away."


"It worked (as far as I know so far) but to me it wasn't worth all the side effects.
Had unprotected sex a couple of days after my period ended with my partner and he came half inside and half out by accident. I took plan b one step within a few hours and didn't feel much the first day or so. Fast forward a week and I'm bleeding like a regular period but worse than that I've been having horrible migraines, nausea & hot flashes that won't go away & I'm having a hard time doing anything because of this.
It's reminding me of when I was pregnant not too long ago but honestly the symptoms I had during pregnancy we're easier than these symptoms...which makes me wonder..is this actually working or am I pregnant again?
Won't be taking it again"


"I am on opoids for chronic back pain. Used Miralax and Metamucil but was bowel movements irregular and felt like I was emptying out was backing up. Tried 25mg on empty stomach at 3pm yesterday for first time. Started having cramps. Called my doc and added a suppository. Twenty minutes later had massive BM over 30 minutes. None after that. This morning, woke up in withdrawal, cold, nausea, abdominal cramps, horrible pain and feeling lousy. Odd as my last pain med dose was six hours before, and I do not get withdrawals that quickly. My morning pain meds fixed withdrawals but was still in significant pain until 1pm after second pain med dose at 12. Seems to decrease pain reducing effects of opiods."


"In school I could not focus and went through bad moments that I will never forget. Writing this I can still picture all of those who made disgusting gestures because I would leave group projects 1/2 way. Through high school I was in the verge of failing, although, my commitment and dedication to reach the dream of going to college, kept me strong."


"Helps me fall asleep, but doesn't control my pain as much as I would like."


"I am into my 10th week. The first couple of weeks I had massive painful cramping for 2 days following injection. A little bit of diarrhea. Third week onward no issues. My glucose before ran from 180 to 250 now it is 112 to 156. I feel great. Have been able to increase my exercise due to increased energy. I have also lost my appetite and cant eat much. I have lost 3 pounds in the last 10 weeks. I take my dose every Friday in the evening."


"Took two pills a day for ten days, and started my cycle three days after the last pill. Felt nauseous the first day of taking the pill, but it did what it was supposed to do so no real complaints. Not sure if my cycle will regulate in the future, though."


"My experience with this medication has been absolutely horrible!! I have been taking it for 2 months, I have severe bloating, gas, and bad diarrhea. Can't even leave my home. My doctor told me to cut back to one pill every other day, and its like it has completely stopped working I have bad pain and nothing coming out! I have had ins-c for 14 years, and I just wish they could come up with something that works and that's not so harsh on your bowels! It's absolutely terrible!!!"


"I have lower back pain to the point that I'm in a lot of pain after walking only 20 minutes or so.  I was getting very discouraged.  One morning, my partner gave me some Doan's Pills and my back pain disappeared.  I was amazed and we started going to stores to try to find it.  Not as easy as we thought.  Finally, we found some and I hope it continues to help me as much as it has the first day.  Keep your fingers crossed."


"I have had 2 children and have tried almost all methods of birth control. I really liked the Nuvaring. I used it for about 2 years and prior to my 2nd child for 1 year. I recently noticed that I couldn't accurately place it in me, or it would slide out all the time, and I had zero sex drive. My mood swings weren't bad, my periods were regular but it became uncomfortable. I have since switched over and trying something new."


"I have used Plan B few times it has worked. I recently lost a lot of weight. I went from being infertile to fertile within 4 months. One night Jan 16, I was very intoxicated and went over to my friends house. Ended up having unplanned and unwanted sex. I threw up 12 hrs straight the next morning so the next day I took plan B between 24-36 hours after. I was due for my period Jan 20 th. ... needless to say my period never came and 3 weeks later I found out I was pregnant by this person. I am blessed with a beautiful child, But I'd never wish this situation on my worse enemy. Every day is a reminder how I have a baby from someone I didn't even  want to have sex with."


"Take pill, fall asleep within 20 minutes."


"It has always helped me with my lower back pain."


"First week in to taking this drug was perfect. Second week onwards I suffered from nausea, fatigue, body ache, diarrhea, etc... I would recommend to stop this medication once side effects kick in. Other side effects I experienced were stomach ache, feeling weak and feeling uncomfortable swallowing food."


"Have been using this drug for about 16 years now. No other migraine medicine compares to it. Have recommended it to several other migraine sufferers. In turn they have called their doctors and now they are on it. They have had the same luck I have."


"I have been bleeding for six months now! I was on the Depo for three years then, I went off of it. I am 35lb heavier and my eating habits and work outs never changed. I felt horrible all the time, headaches, back pain. As birth control it sure works great."


"Took this for my neck and shoulders. Did nothing but upset my stomach."


"I had to have oral surgery, and took amoxicillin for two weeks. The dentist prescribed fluconazole, I got the generic. I've used Diflucan in the past with great success. It seems that the generic does NOT work as well as the name brand. Three days/three pills later, I'm still suffering with the yeast infection symptoms."


"You haven't lived until you have tried Dulco...OMG this has to be the most sophisticated  drug ever made for constipation.  The pain is worse than a woman's labour. I've been using this drug now for about 7-8 years and only when I absolutely  need to. The trick is to drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water with the pills. And the pain is so mild. If you just drink a glass of water, expect to dance from the pain. So I advise anyone taking this pill to drrrrink lots of water. It takes about 6 hours to work. Secondly, dont go anywhere when you dtake it. I used to take 3 at about 2pm at work, by the time I got home at 6 or 7 I was ready to do battle. Continued use of this drug is dangerous and can cause I think palpitations.  Drink lotsa water!"


"I used to take Zofran and personally felt the effects a lot quicker and took care of nausea better, but because of other meds I take it can cause bad reactions. They put me on Promethazine as needed for nausea from opiate meds or severe migraines . This doesn't work quick and doesn't work that great but I guess it's better than vomiting"


"Started on this medicine in the hospital. So far it has worked at least as good as Zyprexa. It dose have a bitter taste to it but I have gotten used to it. The only thing I can say is I have a little bit more anxiety on it then Zyprexa but Ativan controls it pretty well and I sleep very well on it."


"While Invokana does control A1C, the damage it does to your body is horrible!  Let alone I have to drink about a gallon of water a day, I can't stop peeing. I'm 55 and pee the bed every night. My kidney and liver numbers have been rapidly climbing ever since I started this drug. If you can avoid this drug, do so. If you can't, get plenty of depends (incontinence pants)... you're gonna need them!"


"This was hugely helpful for me when my doctor figured out that I was suffering from migraines. Once in a while, I get sick to my stomach before the medication takes effect (especially if I've delayed taking it, for whatever reason), but I can't describe how much better it is to have this than to suffer. If I lose a dose to emesis, I'll take another with a small amount of water and wait for everything to calm down. Keeps me functional, where before I'd have been wiped out and wishing for death for a day or more. Side effects for me have been very mild and occasional. Slight tingly feelings, or a little bit of mental "distance" from my surroundings. Words can't describe how much better this is than torture."


"My blood pressure was high (144/90 -180/110) My doctors tried Alpha and Beta Blockers, Calcium Channel Blockers, Ace Inhibitors, Angiotension II

Receptor Blockers, and diuretics. My best pressure was 138/90.  The first week we tried Benicar HCT 40/25, I could tell a big difference. My best pressure was 128/78.  After losing some weight, pressure dropped as well.  116/68. I started feeling extremely dizzy. Broke the pill in half and dizziness improved. Doctor will need to adjust dosage and hopefully will be able to discontinue use by end of year if weight loss continues.  My appointments are now 3 months instead of monthly.  Overall, I am pleased with my progress since I started taking Benicar."


"I have been using the fentanyl 75mg patches for 2 months after gradual increase from 25 to 50 to 75mg changed every 72 hours, I have degenerative bone in my cervical spine and I am having tests for inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid). I do notice the pain coming back on the third day - a few hours before I need to change it. The sweating on the first day I awake and the dry mouth are not pleasant at all but a small price to pay for better quality of life. I have gone from active horse owner and working to being on disability. I was in so much pain I was having days of work and many days unable to get up. I am unable to do my horse any more but I don't feel as much pain and that is what counts."


"This was my first birth control pill ever and the only thing I noticed was that the day I was supposed to start my period I was very mean and irritable."


"At first I thought this pill was great, after 9 months however I was an emotional mess and a stone heavier! Different pills work for different people so it's always better to try things rather than taking these reviews for gospel but they really didn't agree with me in the end. I was prescribed anti-depressants 2 months after starting Yasmin and didn't see the connection. It was only when I was finding it hard to cope whilst on the antidepressants that I did a bit of research! I've stopped taking Yasmin now and it's been almost a month. I still have the odd over thinking episode but I'm largely so much better!!! I'm still on antidepressants and have started taking the POP on Drs advice! I didn't get pregnant though so it works!"


"Hey, I'm a 20 y/o Medical Assistant (Internal Medicine), After being on Strattera for about 2 months, and even though I complain about my pts not battling through side affects to achieve benefit, I as well, failed to reach the finish line.

I Re-Starting Strattera 4 months later, I think I finally figured out why this medicine is so difficult for me. I have come to realize that this medication is relatively a "Shock Collar" more or less. Strattera doesn't actually "Help" my symptoms but yet, "Shocks me" (Punishes me) when my symptoms show through. Every time I get distracted, or overly excited, start mono-logging thoughts in my head, etc. the side affects flare up. I dont know if this is true for everyone, but it is what i have noticed."


"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."


"Having two 8 mcg capsules daily and it does work with side effects. I have had some headaches and nausea. It helped my constipation a lot though. Bottom line it works for me."


"I have been getting Desogen from Planned Parenthood for about a year now. The pill seemed to clear up any acne, the only breakouts I have now are around my period (to be expected). The only downside was around my period I would have crazy intensified mood swings, angry one second and crying the next. Other than that, pretty good pill."


"I wrote another review here earlier-I got off sulfa thinking it was causing me to go hoarse, but after 5 months on methotrexate, I developed 2 ulcers, so got back on sulfasalazine. No hoarseness, so it was something else. I love it. I've got severe RA- for 38 years. This is one of the safer ones-try to stick it out past the early symptoms, go slow, add 1 pill a week until you get up to where you need. I just got off plaquenuil, as I think it was causing muscle weakness and heart enlargement.(a rare side effect of Plaq) Not sure though, so will see what happens. Best med ever for RA is minocycline-I got 17 great years on it-but it may have caused drug induced lupus. (rare) so sulfasalazine is next best thing. I take 6 per day now, and few aspirin too"


"Works for me."


"I got Nexplanon inserted November 2014. My fella and I have never used standard protection and we've never gotten pregnant, in nearly 3 years. So, good there.  However, this birth control is horrible. I am healthy, I eat right and workout consistently, for years. I've gained 30 pounds since Nov 14. I've upped all of my workouts to 3-4 hours, 4+ times/wk with zero change. I've never been had such extreme bouts of depression in my life. If not for yoga, meditation and my sweetheart of a fella, I'd lose my mind. I've spent a ton on pregnancy tests due to the whacked out side effects, including randomly missed periods. My periods are horrible: cramps, random cycle lengths, never 28 days apart and random spotting. The side effects are horrible."


"I was on a week of antibiotics and developed a yeast infection. My OBGYN prescribed this "wonder pill". I felt significant relief within 24 hours. I'm feeling much better."


"I love this birth control. I was put in it after my son was born and haven't had any problems or side effects. I was also on it before my son, but stopped because I wasn't sexually active."


"This made me so sick I had 10 of the side effects it didn't help at all worse meds ever. I taper off myself meds where worse then withdrawal."


"I've had Implanon for about 5 months now, and it is been extremely effective so far. As far as the effectiveness, I would recommend it to anyone. But as the other comments have said, side effects are different for everyone. When it was first inserted, I had the worst period of my life for about two weeks with extreme bleeding and blood clots. I haven't had a period since then, but I have had spotting almost every day, which is extremely irritating. My main concern is not the current side effects, but the effects after removal. "


"Entire time on this medication is a bit of a blur.
Has left me with a sun sensitivity whereas I am unable to go out in strong sunlight.  If I do, my skin blisters, weeps and goes crusty.  The itching is horrendous.  Even though I have not taken this medication for over 7 years, the condition of sunsensitivity remains.  I was an outdoors person - this has turned my life upside down and prevents me doing the one thing that makes me feel better.  I have never been so angry. I don't know whether this medication kept me down or saw me through, as I was still totally depressed the entire time I was taking them, and felt blunted.  I did not realize how bad my behaviour had been affected by the pills until some time after I had quit."


"I have been taking Paxil/Paroxetine for approx.15 years. About 2 years ago, I mentioned to my psychiatrist that I had long been very sensitive to noise. I would get really upset (angry) by the sound of the doorbell, or even my young daughter's playfulness. My Dr. recommended Deplin as an additional "medicine". After a couple of weeks of taking Deplin,,my sensitivity improved greatly. I did not feel any different, nor have any side-effects. I stopped for a couple of weeks, thinking that it didn't really do anything, and I DID notice a big difference.  Although it is expensive, I will continue to take my 15mg every day (along with my Paxil) It works!, My husband agrees! "


"Stopped taking it after 2 months. It gave me terrible joint and back pain.

Hope you have better luck."


"I strongly feel without DuoNeb every four hours up to five times a day I would no longer be here. I qualify for a lung transplant but because of my reaction to steroids this is the next best thing along with Serevent twice a day."


"I Experienced horrible vertigo on this medication.  Eventually caused a seizure followed by an excruciatingly painful nerve attack that I had never experienced before.  I am now diagnosed with fibromyalgia 6 months later after stopping this medication.  I think that the seizure it caused might have permanently damaged my nerve functions."


"Going to Zonegran from Trileptal, still waiting for the headaches etc from the Trileptal to go away."


"Save your money. Might as well take a baby aspirin. Extra strength Advil Liquid Gels, or Tylenol Arthritis work 10 times better."


"8 years ago I was diagnosed as having central alopecia...tender scalp accompanied by hair loss. Topical steriod lotion( Betnovate) and Doxycycline were prescribed by my dermatologist. They helped and the hair loss stopped. Because it is the scarring type, the top remained a bit sparse but I was grateful that the hair loss stopped. A couple months ago the hair loss started again and was terrible. Desperate, I requested triamicinolone injections on my scalp. I got 10 on December 15th. In about 8 days I could swear I could see the spaces filling. I almost cried. As a woman, going bald is undescribably horrible. It's been almost a month and it continues to improve. Thank God!!!"


"I have been on both Kariva and the mini-pill and hated them both.  Kariva gave me terrible headaches that put me in the emergency room.  The mini-pill made me moody, gain weight (not water weight--- FAT! I gained 20 lbs. and had to buy ALL new clothes), lose ALL sex drive, and drained me of all energy. I have been too scared to try birth control again up until recently and I chose to go with Nuvaring because of its lower dose of estrogen and novel delivery system that delivers estrogen at a constant rate.  I am almost on week 3 and I am not experiencing any side effects whatsoever. I am so happy I finally found a birth control that fits my body.  My acne has also been clearing up (I had it all over my chest and back)."


"this drug actually helped me lose weight for some reason I exercise everyday and my diet has never been particularly bad but I wouldn't say it's good either and Ivery lost about 20 pounds since starting the drug. my acne is gone. occasional moodiness at the beginning of starting the medicine about 3 months ago but that evened out once my body got used to it."


"I broke my hip the day before July 4th. I has surgery and was in the hospital for a week, then in a nursing rehab home for a month. I can't take opioid so took Ibuprofen for the pain. I am 67 year's old and also have afib. I was getting around fine when I came home. Then in September I had pain all over my body. It would jump around. I had extremely bad insomnia and restless leg syndrome. My legs felt heavy like they were filled with cement. I went to my PHD and she ran blood tests, especially looking for Rheumatoid Arthritis.  The diagnosis is Fibromyalgia. She had me take steroids, one tablet a day for four days and Cymbalta 30th twice a day. I had no bad side effects. I slept better and the pain is very bearable, just mild hip pain."


"I'm taking this Bc I got switched onto it from a different one .. I've been so moody my boyfriend and I have been going through a rough time because  of my moods.. we used to have sex 3-5 days a week now I don't want him to even touch me.. It's basically ruined our relationship , the pill isn't great and doesn't help acne at all"


"I said that I have troubles with focus and concentration, forgetting everything , unable to do simple jobs, but can do creative stuff. I have normal IQ (*142) and I'm skeptic all the time. Don't believe in ghosts, magic, gods and all other stuff like horoscopes, karma, souls, but my grandmother was paranoid schizophrenic and very religious. I thought there is condition called ADHD, but they prescribed me "Abilify", because they said it's depression. First was injection to muscle. Then I took small very expensive pills. But after few weeks I started noticing side effects and no improvement in anything. Unable to sit normally, smoking more cigarettes and later I even had problem to move my muscles. My eye lids didn't moved, face like "frozen"."


"Absolutely love it. No period, no mood changes, no bleeding, no nothing but a little bit more acne but could be from stress right now because I've been dealing with a lot. But my body got used to it within a month."


"This antibiotic makes me extremely sick to my stomach, caused blurred vision and makes me extremely irritable.  If you do take this medication please eat a lot of food before taking.  "


"Only been on Buspirone for a week but see a change in my anxiety and mood...for the better.

However, after reading reviews some of you are condoning it. I am a retired Army Medic. Every medication can effect a person differently. Therefore, it would be better to come off as "this is what happened to me" when i took it. Instead..if someone were to google it who is contemplating taking it they probably would get scared. No one really knows how a medication is going to effect them until they take it. Good or bad. If bad....ask ur provider to put you on something else. Noone really knows your medical history in order to even understand "why" you might be having certain side effects. Just an observation"


"I would have panic attacks and would cut myself to avoid feeling nervous and anxious about things I couldn't control. I pretty much had a great experience while I was on Zoloft. I was taking 100mgs a day. Very few panic attacks and if I would have feelings of panic, it was much less intense. After about a year, I decided I no longer wanted to be taking anti depressants. I weaned myself off of it. First week I took 75mg, then 50, then 25. This is the end of my first full week off Zoloft and for the most part I feel fine. I think the medicine helps. I noticed my smoking habit has started to come back as my desire for a cigarette while on Zoloft was minimal."


"I was on Lexapro 10mg and Abilify 10 mg for about 5 months, and overall it helped with my anxiety. I didn't feel as stressed at work and school, but it kind of made me a zombie. I haven't cried in 5 months, and I hardly feel any emotions. Which I guess is good for people suffering from depression. It completely killed my sex drive so I went to my doctor the other day and switched prescriptions. Currently withdrawing from this medication and it sucks. Getting light-headed and dizzy and vomited a lot the other day."


"I usually don't do reviews on medication but I felt the need to write a review  because of all the horrible experiences people say they had. After Googling about Azithromycin I was so scared to take it, I have a phobia of vomitting so reading about how almost every person who wrote a review claiming they threw up made me so nervous to the point of tears. To reassure everyone who has the same phobia as me or is concerned I FELT NO NAUSEA WHAT SO EVER. I took the liquid Azithrmycin at 2:00am after a small meal last night , I will admit about an hour after I got minor stomach cramps that subsided after eating a few saltine crackers, that was the only side affect I experienced, no diarrhea, no nausea, no "labor pains"."


"Been on this drug about a year and a half now and almost instantly begin suffering near constant yeast infections.  But on the positive side my blood sugars and a1c are spot on and ive lost 3 stone in that small lenght of time and i have more energy and sleep better although bed wetting has sometimes been a problem."


"This is the best medicine for me. I've used every pill on the market. When my allergies get severe I use Flonase. Works every time. No side effects that I've noticed. Highly recommend."


"I suffer from post nasal drip with constant coughing. Nothing else helped .Always got side effects
I read where this product was good for my systems. Wow what a difference. Took 24 hours to see a difference  but boy the difference in coughing spells ,drainage was cut 75%.
I have felt this good in years.
Even When I don't have post nasal drip."


"This is the best medication for any cold or sinus problems and associated headaches. Easy to use and takes effect quickly."


"Lolo has been awesome. I used to have 10 day periods before I went on my first pill. On Lolo, I have almost none, and when they do happen (occasionally and as predicted), they last 1.5 days. I heard it can increase frequency of headaches and I have had a couple more here and there, but I'd say that's probably just me not drinking enough water.

No weight gain, no acne issues. Can't recommend it enough."


"My psychiatrist prescribed Campral because I could not seem to get off the treadmill of daily black-out drinking despite years of trying. I've been taking it just over a month.
I'm frankly astonished at how it immediately started muting my cravings. For the first time in years, I didn't feel compelled to drink every night, a very odd feeling! It's important to take all three daily doses. During week two I forgot to take my midday dose to work, worked later than usual, and stopped at the liquor store on the way home. I still work to stay sober - but overall it is enormously helpful."


"This has worked for my depression/ anxiety. I take it at night as it makes me feel sleepy. It does make me nauseous which is my biggest issue. Missing a dose or two makes me feel like I'm going crazy. I've been on this for three years."


"I have tried several medications for my high blood pressure since 2004; Diovan HCT is the ONLY medication that helps me feel better. The majority of medications I tried gave me terrible headaches. I have virtually no side effects when using Diovan HCT; the only issue I have is that I cannot be out in the sun for extended periods of time."


"Precribed 10 days for pneumonia. 7th day presented the worst yeast infection. 35 yo female, otherwise healthy. Discontinued medication and pneumonia has not returned after 21 days."


"Good so far.  This is my first use of the 180mg tablet.  Since this has been a mild winter, I have been fighting allergies and bronchitis for months.  Tussionex and Cheratussin neither one worked.  I'm still coughing, but not at much.  The only problem is, I can't go to sleep at night."


"Was on it for one month, helped with symptoms but did not cure."


"This is my very first time taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and I love it! I asked my doctor for a good birth control pill that worked with acne, cramps, and periods so she suggested this! At first I thought about switching because my acne got terrible, (worse than ever) and I didn't have a period for 2 months. I gave my body sometime on it and turns out this pill is amazing! I no longer deal with bad acne or acne at all! During my time of month I will get a couple pimples but nothing to dramatic! I'm also using Clinique acne solutions face wash, toner, mosturizer and mask. IF YOU ARE WANTING TO SWITCH PLEASE DON'T. Let your body get used to the pill before you act on it. I am on month 2 and periods last 2-3 days, and I hardly ever get acne!"


"I have had cravings and weight gain on Remeron. The cravings are mostly for carbs at night. I am taking this medication for Anxiety and Insomnia. I really don't see any change as far as the Anxiety but it does help me sleep. For the weight gain I am increasing exercise and putting healthy snacks in the fridge and cabinet like jello, pudding, etc."


"I was diagnosed with RA in 2004 and began steroids and methotrexate. Next started Enbrel for approximately 8 months but the citric acid in the Enbrel was unbarable.  Then I began Remicade Infusions. I started out nine years ago every 6 weeks. I'm now on 700 mg every four weeks and weekly injections of Methotrexate  but wouldn't change a thing. I still have stiffness here or there but the fatigue and pain I use to experience are gone and I live a full and happy life. It's been such a Blessing to me."


"Xanax has probably helped keep me alive and breathing over the last two years.  The toll of being a military wife, mom, full-time worker, etc. had me so stressed out that I began to procrastinate on EVERYTHING because I couldn't emotionally handle things like paying bills, running errands, etc.  I only take 0.5mg of Xanax as needed, but just knowing it's in my purse helps me keep my busy life moving ahead.  Combined with Zoloft for depression and Ambien for insomnia, I finally feel like a normal person.  I feel sorry for the woman I used to be, but I'm so happy to be myself now."


"Over all good"


"I got the implanon in 2012, a few months after giving birth to my son. When inserted my entire upper arm bruised and I could barely move it. It took 2 months for the bruising to go away. I gained 40 lbs, and barely ate anything. I never wanted sex, my hair was falling out, my back and my head hurt, when I would stand I would become dizzy, pretty much you name it, I had it! I finally decided in January of 2013 that enough was enough and made an appointment to have it removed. While at the doctor I received an annual check up and guess what? I was pregnant! Completely pointless "birth control" and the worst 11 months of my life!"


"Medication did not work at all.  Taking 2 pills caused irrational behaviour, but no suppression of appetite."


"I have chronic kidney disease that can cause RLS. It was wonderful at first when they started me on 0.5mg. As side effects go I got a nice relaxed feeling with nausea. Than I started to get the RLS again and had my dose upped twice. Now I take 2mg of Requip with 1mg klonopin.  Still can get a little restless.  Still looking for the perfect pill.  For those of you like me on dialysis I don't think there is much hope but prayers.  Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. "


"I started phentermine 37.5 on 11/30/16 at 10am with a starting weight of 234.4 @5'6. I ate chicken salads (no dressing) wed-sat, plus bacon, eggs, cottage cheese, string cheese, sliced cucumbers, celery and peanut butter, peanuts, olives, bananas and blackberries coupled with drinking half my body weight in water and I have lost 9.31 lbs as of 12/4/16.  Water is the key element to all weight loss, as it breaks down fat. I will incorporate excercise tomorrrow.

I experienced dry mouth and headaches for the first 4 days. I followed the instructions to take 1/2 a pill for the first 4 days @ 10 am and then a whole pill. I also got a B12 shot to help the process along, which I feel helped keep me from having insomnia.  #thestruggleisreal"


"Since using the patch I haven't had any more pain and I no longer need to take Percocets or Vicodin."


"I had been on a different form of bc for several years, but apparently it was not as effective as I got older. My GYN prescribed Gildess to me and suggested I try it for a few months to see if the condition improved. I was on Gildess for a total of 5 months. I kept in mind that you must allow time (3 mos) for your body to adjust so although I experienced side effects from the start, I gave it a shot. I experienced uncontrollable mood swings and felt depressed and tired ALL THE TIME! The worst side effects though were the extreme headaches I experienced while taking this medication. I know everyone is different, but as for me... I would NEVER recommend this pill to anyone."


"I was on depo for 5 years and just got off of it 3 months ago to try and conceive.  I had never been on any other type of BC with which I could compare it. I found it nice having no period (no planning ahead for trips, no having to buy tampons!) Though it did contribute to an unpleasant vag dryness which I could have done without. Luckily I did not gain any weight in the 5 years of depo, the only caveate being that I monitored my weight more than the average person ever would and I have always exercised and eaten healthy. With that said, however, I did find that I had to try a lot harder to maintain my weight than before depo. I did not notice any other side effects. Having been off it I noticed I am more fatigued than usual."


"I just got this inserted today.  I was so nervous for it that I was shaking and fanning myself before the doctor even walked in to the room.  It ended up being so simple.  I didn't really feel any pain just some pressure for about 30 seconds and then it was done.  Since I got home I have had barely any cramping at all...just feels like the day or two before I start my period.  I am so relieved and happy.  Reading all the reviews on here really freaked me out.  I took 800mg of Ibuprofen an hour before which seemed to help.  I recommend doing the same.  So excited to see how this works out!"


"I take Seroquel 200mg every night and it makes me want lots of cookies and donuts no lies. I love sweets now where before I hated sweets.  My room-mate eats 100 mg and has to eat cookies and cereal as well.  We are both fat thanks to Seroquel. At least I sleep by myself otherwise I would be kicking someone all night long, due to my crazy legs.  Also have very vivid dreams.  I wake up not knowing if I have hurt someone or done drugs."


"Last year, I had surgery for benign endometrial hyperplasia and a baseball-sized ovarian cyst.  I was officially diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome when I was 19 and this is a common side effect.  To prevent further problems, my doctor recommended hormone therapy but I haven't done well with any of the pills or the shot - too many bad side effects (sciatica, mood swings, etc).  I was on Ortho-Evra in my early 20s and never noticed any problems so I decided to try it again.  Unfortunately, though, it was discontinued in the USA and Xulane was its generic.  I've been on it for 3 months and I've been miserable the whole time.  I stopped today and now I feel like I have the flu."


"I've been on this for two weeks and right off the bat I've have trouble sleeping, severe SEVERE mood swings. Terrible anxiety, panic attacks ( have never had one before)"


"I went from bedridden to feeling good again in two days. I am on a 5 day plan and on day 3 some ankle aches and pressure in my head. Overall feeling a lot better."


"I've been on Jolessa for about 45 days now.  My insurance wouldn't approve the original brand, which my RN mother-in-law says is better, but I've read about other women spotting on Seasonique too so its probably more personal experience. Light spotting at least every few days and I still got a period even after my first month which lasted about 10 days as opposed to my short, but very painful ones.  On the plus side, I didn't even know the period was coming like I usually do: no severe cramps, mood swings, PMS, etc... On the down side, I have zero sex drive.  But overall, I feel very "calm" with less anxiety.  Not sure about weight gain, perhaps a few pounds but I'm making an extra effort to eat better and exercise."


"I was skeptical at first but just after the first week I feel a huge difference. I have slight nausea, dry mouth and yawning but they are getting better. The world is a much better place now."


"Have been taking 100mg for more than 2 years. It works but I am not fully fine. Thinking of increasing the dose to 200mg."


"I have had severe pain to the point I have lost my ability to walk and need to use a wheel chair for the past seven years.  My DR. (last year) put me on Lyrica and it saved my life! I had been put on every type of pain killer and I needed a lot of them. Now I have lower doses of my pain medicines and I feel tons better!

Anyone who is looking into this medication PLEASE at least try it, take it as you told to by your DR. and give it four weeks to fully work it's magic, I almost asked my DR. to take me off it, three weeks into taking it, but my wife told me to give it one more week and BOOM! she was right. It's not like anything you have ever tried! My only problem with it is it needs time to work. It's worth the wait!"


"Love this medication. Was nervous at first due to heart problems but cleared by doctor to take. Feel great no side effects. Crave water. Don't like the taste of soda. Eating less. More energy. Worth every penny. No jitters. No cramps. No headaches. So glad I decided to take it. Have been on for 5 weeks down 10 lbs."


"I am starting my 4th month on this birth control today. I was originally on aviane for 3 months but it broke my face out horribly, so my doctor switched me to this. At first the results were not good but by the end of my third month using Tri-previfem my face was clearer than it had been in months! Flawless actually. Give it time if you're using this birth control to clear up acne. By the end of month 3 I was delighted with my results!"


"I've always suffered with acne throughout my teenage years & adult life. I have PCOS & I had a full thyroidectomy due to thyroid cancer last year. I'm now 38. My hormones went crazy after surgery. I was breaking out terribly. I've tried every over the counter & natural treatment you could imagine. Nothing worked. I saw the commercial & was of course skeptical. I picked it up at target & started using it during my usual breakout time (week before my period) within a week it was cleared up! My acne scars are lighter as well. People at work are actually saying how good my skin looks! I wish I would've tried sooner. I use a very thin layer in common breakout areas. I also moisturize with coconut oil. Fantastic product!"


"Along with starting XELJANZ XR I've changed my entire diet. Taking on this fight to put myself in remission so that I don't have to live my life with needles, infusions, severe pain, I wanted to find my own path to remove the inflammation, joint pain out of my body. Today has been three successful weeks of living on a plant based diet I've discovered ((it's what we put in our bodies)) that's got us so sick. You must change your diet today. This medication is working! after trying infusions, injections, 7 different pills a day and I still couldn't move, enough of that! This is the best I've ever felt In four years. This medication and diet have changed my life."


"I take anywhere between 112.5 and 187.5 mg of Effexor XR. It is the only thing that has worked on my bipolar depression. It has been a miracle medicine for me.

Nonetheless, one has to be careful. I was manic on it at 150 mg without a mood stabilizer. Now I take 20 mg Abilify with it, and it is working great."


"I take simvastatin. My level was 238 and dropped to 200 on 1 x 10 mg per day but before the 238 I was 250. I am now on 20mg and soon to take blood work and no problem at all. I take at night. I am sure it will be lower. Also My husband had 243 and he is down to 138 on one 10 mg per day but he moves a lot and I'm not as much. I had NO SIDE EFFECTS and I am medicine sensative and was scared to take it but I am  so glad I did so try a low dose then up it if you don't have any side effects. "


"I was diagnose with TN (Trigeminal Neuroglia) a debilitating pain disorder/disease.  The pain started on the left side of my face, temple then traveled down to my left eye and the worse pain of all was the feeling of nerve pain throughout my gums and teeth.  I wanted the dentist to removed them but it wasn't dental problem.  I have 3 blood vessels from the brain laying on  Trigeminal Nerve, the pain was like nothing I've experience.  I literally could commit murder.
I've been on these meds since the middle of December and it took 2 weeks to finally kick in and I couldn't be happier.  Side affects works different with everyone guess.  I've heard horror stories. With me it's a bit of drowsiness thank goodness! Good luck all."


"Started taking Contrave about 2 1/2 weeks lost a few pounds then gained it back. There are moments where I don't want to eat but I need sweets and stuff my face. I did however quit smoking."


"Topamax worked pretty well for my daily headaches/migraines. I was down to using 6 of the 9 Imitrex pills that I usually suffered the rest of the month needing more of before. It also helped my cravings for alcohol (former binge drinker) and sugar, significantly. Topamax works for so many things- but there were 2 side effects that I couldn't deal with- irritability and hair loss. I recently had the same experience with Keppra- minus the benefits of Topamax. I have gone through all the seizure medicines with minimal benefit and all have caused hair loss for me except Zonegran, which didn't help my headaches at all."


"I love, love, love Mirena. I had my first one put in when I was 21 due to debilitating periods, and I hadn't had any kids. Not going to lie - the pain was truly horrible upon insertion, and I did cramp for weeks afterwards, but after that cleared up 5 years of no periods changed my life. I just had my second one put in yesterday and it was nowhere near as traumatic as the first time since my hormones had leveled out. I HIGHLY recommend it for women who don't want/can't take high estrogen birth control or would like to stop their periods safely. It's been absolutely life-changing for me, and I hope Mirena and other IUD's continue to gain popularity as people see how great they really can be."


"My 8 year old son has been on Daytrana for approximately 6 months and I have to say of all the ADHD medicines out there this is the best. We have tried almost every ADHD medicine out there and nothing lasted as long as it was supposed to or had no effect whatsoever. The only problem with the patch is its sticking. It never seems to stick and in the summer I had to find something waterproof to put over it."


"Can't even explain how bad this made me feel.  SERIOUSLY thought I was dying.  Chills...Sweating ...throwing up...I actually passed out on my bathroom bath. My chest pain was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. No desire to eat...I've never had a problem with meds like this before in my life. Never again. I took it for 2 days and stopped.  Be cautious."


"I started out at 75mg, had to decrease at first because it made me super emotional and had really bad tingling in hands/feet, so I ended up going back down to 50mg, then I slowly increased by 25mg until I got up to 100mg and I'm doing OK now. I do feel emotionally sensitive at times and do get occasional tingling in my fingers and toes if I don't eat for awhile, which the Topamax also decreases my appetite and I have lost weight on. I still have ocular migraines if I stay up too late or don't get enough sleep. If I have even a small glass of wine the evening before I will wake up with an awful migraine the next morning, so I see why they say not to drink while on the medication. Overall it has really significantly decreased migraines."


"Works as well as the "patch" without the unwelcome side effects that come with uneven "patch" medication release. A big thumbs up!"


"Excellent medication. Started slowly which minimized initial side effects. Now I can do everything I want to without thinking about it. Very focused on work and family again.

Only reason not a 10 is makes me a little more prone to that 2:30pm sluggishness. Must drink coffee at that time. Other than that turned me around, saved my marriage, etc."


"I have bipolar1, general & social anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder. I've been on pretty much everything over the last 14 years. Seroquel worked well for over a year but the weight gain was awful. Regular exercise and healthy eating. Lithium and Lamictal replaced the Seroquel and seemed efficient, couldn't handle the nausea anymore after 2 yrs. 5 weeks ago I decided I wanted try Saphris. Psych agreed, decided to start low and slow as I tend to have allergic or increased anxiety with most medicines. Started on 2.5mg for a week. I literally felt better the next morning. I had increased energy and felt happy for the first time in over 10yrs. I'm up to 5mg pm, 2.5mg am. Anxiety decreased, and down to 1.5mg of Klonopin daily from 3mg. This is a miracle for me! "


"I want this review to influence anyone who's considering birth control to STEER CLEAR. I am very upset & frustrated, but I will try to refrain from using profanities, hopefully to make the point more effective.

I have suffered from heavy, painful periods ever since I started it when I was 13. I am now seventeen. I dealt with being 'sick' 3-5 days a month. After conducting some research, & asking around, many people advised birth control was the way to go. I finally gathered up the courage & collected my nerves & went to the doctor for a solution.

At sixteen, a magic pill that made everything about your period better seemed like a pretty sweet deal to me. I didn't even hesitate to grab the trial sample from my doctors hand. I was excited to be rid of what was a seemingly huge issue at the time.

The first month was absolute hell. I cried at the drop of a hat the entire month. I got extremely depressed & anxious. I bled basically the whole second & third month. I read that it was all normal. I was fed up, but there was still that small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel promising painless, light, short periods. I stuck it out five whole months.

In this short time I have experienced a plethora of awful side effects. I have acne now, which rarely occurred in the past. This is not your run of the mill acne. They are all over my chin & forehead. They are rooted so deep you can't squeeze them hard enough to save your life. They take a month to go away/dry up just to reoccur in little time. I have lost a lot of my hair, I now have a bald spot, I guess it's more of a receding hairline. Please know that I am SEVENTEEN. I've dealt with excess anxiety, way beyond what is normal, crazy mood swings, constant bleeding, headaches that would last for a WEEK, & the list goes on. The biggest thing for me is that I am having short term memory issues. I am positive that this is another lovely side effect that can be attributed to this pill.

Had I known that these things could happen, I never would have started taking this medication.

This Dr. had failed to inform me of all of these things. I was naive & I was sixteen. All she told me was that my "breasts & stomach may hurt" while I am adjusting. That is bullshit. I do not trust "medical professionals" anymore.

Please do not take this medication or any other birth control medications. Do your own research & don't just take your doctor's word."


"So me and my boyfriend had sex and the condom broke !! We where both so scared we are both still young and don't need a baby well the next day I took plan B one step around 35 hours after he finished in me and today I just feel tired I'm hoping it will work (I was in my fertile window)"


"Very effective. I've never taken a laxative before, but after not having a BM for seven days decided enough was enough. I took one tablet and it worked in 3 hours and I went 4 times in one day! Now back to normal. Only issue with it is a bit of gut ache. I don't  recommend taking it unless your constipation is really bad though- its very powerful."


"I developed and was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in November of 2011.  I went on hydroxychloroquine (400mg 1 x per day), and my bouts of inflammation have dramatically decreased both in frequency and severity. I have experienced no side effects, and I can't say enough good things about this medication.  Prior to getting on hydroxychloroquine, the affected joint inflammation was so severe (pain index 10) that I could not move whatever joint was inflamed. After getting on this medication, my pain index during inflammation flareups has been a 1-2.  I also take 800mg Ibuprofen, and the combination of these 2 medicines have worked very well for me.  At 47 years old, I've been able to play ice hockey and soccer in adult leagues (gotta do it now before this gets worse)."


"I've been taking lexapro for depression and anxiety for the past 3 or so months. at first I saw a change in my mood and anxiety levels, and my anxiety overall is a bit better. I don't know whether i need to talk to the doctor about upping my dosage or about taking another medication on the whole. Anyone else have or had this problem with lexapro?"


"I've been taking Zoloft since June of 2010. I was really struggling with anxiety and a little depression. I got anxiety so bad that I did NOT leave my house from March until June. I couldn't even go outside with having a anxiety attack, then I tried Zoloft (I've had the pills since February but didn't want to use them. I wanted to try and get over it by myself) and taking the pills was the best choice! I've only had 1 attack since I started taking them and I even feel better with myself. The only side effects I've felt is I can't sleep when I want too, but remember we are all different and just trying it won't hurt. But I definitely recommend Zoloft for anxiety and panic attacks!"


"My child was diagnosed at the age of 4 with severe ADHD. We tried all medications. Even added Risperdal. He was very angry and agitated all the time. After 1 week on Abilify (along with metadate) he is a whole new kid. Loving it!"


"I had an opiate problem for two years. I went to plenty of rehabs and all they kept telling me was that I would detox myself off of it. It wasn't easy. I would be in rehab for weeks, even still withdrawing they would let me out. So as soon as I got the free chance from Rehab I would go right back to opiates. When my family finally realized what was going on in my life, they threw me into the best rehab in Vermont. I was there for two months and throughout it all they helped me out. They didn't make me detox on my own. They allowed me to try Suboxone. It helped me through so much. "


"I've been taking Citalopram for about a year now for  my depression and anxiety and it has really helped out a lot. I'm taking 20 mg a day and my depression has completely disappeared. It worked good for my anxiety for awhile, but my anxiety has came back a little. When I first started taking it,  I took it at night and it gave me MAJOR  restless leg syndrome, so I take it in morning and it's better. Just some days it makes me yawn all day and sometimes space out during the day.  But I'm very happy It has taken away my depression."


"It works well for TSH supression"


"I read all these insertion horror stories, and it truly was not that bad. It barely hurt (maybe a 4 or 5 on the pain scale) and I cramped mildly after, then slept it off. I will say ever since I've gotten it I cramped everyday since, nothing severe but I have gotten into a habit of knowing to carry midol or ibuprofen around. I do randomly and I mean RANDOMLY spot, sometimes heavy sometimes light sometimes nothing at all, but prior to having the skyla inserted I did take 3 plan bs in the two months prior so that might also be to blame. Overall, for a month of spotting and mild cramping for years of no babies? I'll take it. "


"My first injection was a nightmare.  I took the injection on Friday night and by Saturday morning I had uncontrollable dry heaves.  It lasted for 5 hours.  Only after I ate some dry toast did it stop.  I was pretty much wiped for the rest of the weekend but Saturday was by far the worst of it.  I naturally was terrified of taking the injection the next week, but was pleasantly surprised that I did not get sick.  I get 'light headed' occasionally, but outside of that, no real bad side affects.  I can no longer eat fried food.  It just does not agree with me and I was that person that ate everything fried.  Since starting the injections, I've lost 8lbs (6 weeks)."


"I've just had my third botox injections.  I didn't notice a huge improvement after the first lot of injections, although there still was in improvement from having 3 to 4 migraines per week to maybe one or 2 per week.  The second lot of injections caused 2 weeks for 5 migraines per week, but then the breakthrough happened.  2 months completely migraine free.  I cannot remember the last time I have gone for that long without a migraine.  Must be at least 30 years.  I'm quietly optimistic that I have finally got a migraine solution that works."


"This medication will take a cough away but I didn't like the side effects. I normally react great to pain meds but not on this. Couldn't sleep the first night. Woke up with severe headache. Had to take another dose for this cough and still bad headache. Can see this will turn to a migraine. Was so hopeful of this medication."


"This is my first time taking birth control and I was a bit scared because looking at the reviews for mononessa, a lot of people said it caused them unpleasing side effects. My doctor originally prescribed me something else it's like "Tri-Ortho" something like that and the pharmacist gave me the generic version Mononessa. I have been on it for 7 whole days and the only side effect I have is on the first day I felt a tad bit nauseous but that is all. No major mood swings, headaches, or vomiting like I've seen a lot of people write but everyone is different. My experience has been good so far. Hopefully it will stay like this. I am prone to feeling side effects to medication and I am honestly surprised I didn't get any severe ones... yet."


"Ok I was on Atripla for years it works but with bad nightmares and not feeling rested- switched to Complara loved it- no side effects felt great. Nurse Practitioner said after a couple years it was building toxicity in my kidneys.. Not sure if that was true but we switch to Odefsy - almost immediately started having toxicity side effects.. Nurse blew off my concerns and complaints of pain, headache , dizzy, tired, no concentration etc So I got rid of her and went to a doctor now I'm trying Triumeq.. It's ok I think I'm adjusting to it, initially it made me tired, I do sleep later now and am a bit slower getting going in the morning which I don't like.. I do feel a bit hot at night after taking it.. again I think I'm adjusting may take in AM"


"I’ve been on this birth control for a month this week and I thought I liked it up until these last few days. I’ve noticed a lot of mood swings, increased anxiety, and this little part of me wants to say depression but I’m not sure if my increased anxiety is making it worse for me. Enough for me to bring it up to my primary care doctor. For the past few days I’ve been having anxiety about having depression like as if I’m scared to become depressed and I don’t like it AT ALL. I originally started this birth control because I’ve had irregular periods since I had my baby a year and a half ago but unfortunately  it’s a huge no for me."


"This is my second time I have been on this medication. I was on it about 5 years ago for severe asthma and had to stop because of cost and insurance not covering it. I went from a 42% lung capacity to 65% in just about 6 months I felt great and over about 3 years I started to decline again. I started back thanks to better insurance and the co-pay assistance and feel a lot better. My lung capacity still is not great but I have gone from using my rescue inhaler several times a day to using it only about once every few weeks. So far I have been lucky enough to not have any side effects. I highly recommend it but be sure you get the co-pay assistance in place before starting it."


"Well, I have been depressed the most of my life. Not like I couldn't function, but just depressed like a normal state of mind. In 2011 I was on Mirtzapine and in this year, my world changed. I started m own business and I builded my own cooperation. Stress got me. I couldn't sleep without Zopiclone or Zolpidem to aid me. Stress leaded to anxiety and depression. My doctor prescribed several benzodiazepines and allmost got addicted to these. One day he said: "This is medicine for anxiety (Sertraline). Take these. It'll help you. The first two weeks (today) was unbearable with headache, rapid heart beats, strange thoughts, feeeling nausee, cold/warm-experinces, and I almost gave up. So glad I didn't, I am balanced, my thoughts are clear."


"I'm 21 years old and have unfortunately inherited my family's notorious migraine genes. I've suffered from migraines from a very young age. The 1st medicine I was given at age 21 being finally officially diagnosed by military doctors, while being deployed to Iraq, was Zomig dissolving tablets. No luck, second was Imitrex tablets - same thing, nothing except side effects. Then I was tried on stat-dose Imitrex, still nothing. The only thing that's helped with killing my migraines is an ER visit being treated with fluids, Valium to knock me out and Dilaudid or morphine along with Phenergran."


"4 years on Symbicort=no asthma. Very expensive here. Side effects yes, worst is any small knock on hands or arms result in instant bruises. "


"I'm new to the whole birth control thing. My first try was seasonique it was perfect until I got migraines out of this world after 2 months of taking it. I told my doctor and she told me to give Tri-Sprintec a try. On this pill you absolutely must eat before you take it with seasonique I wasn't use to that so I had to get into the habit of eating in the morning before I take my pills. Other than nausea and vomiting when I first started I have no complaints. There are occasional cramps and sore breasts but that wasn't really a bother to me."


"None of the other brands has functioned for me like Zegerid.c.  I have used others for a long time without any results. This costs  more but it the only one that works. No other choice.                     "


"Switched to this after getting a nasty mouth rash from Lamictal--and would rather have that that than all the stuff I have to deal with from Topamax... 24/7 EXHAUSTION, breakthrough seizures daily, horrible horrible memory loss (will have taken my medication and no more than 10 minutes later have to count all the tiny things to see if I've taken that half days dose). Living a miserable life on this medication, cannot wait to get onto something else. Tried to give this a chance and it gave me nothing but a terrible time, almost like being unmedicated with a constant dead leg&arm, UGH. I'm a small person in general so the weight loss was not a welcome change either. Topamax does nothing!!! for my complex partials seizures or epilepsy."


"I have been on the depo shot for about 5 years now.  It has been amazing not having a period for 5 years, no cramps, spotting or anything.  After I got my first shot, I did have my period for a few months and it was heavy.  Once that passed I never had a period again. I would really recommend the shot to anyone. Downsides- it costs me about $60 every three months because my insurance doesn't cover it, it also may have caused me to gain weight, but I can't be sure of that."


"I hate this pill, extreme depression, breast pain, moody, cry at everything. Do not recommend."


"So I have struggled with constipation since I was 14. I'm 17 now. When I was 14 I was given laxatives from my doctor but they were disgusting so I couldn't drink. Over the years I suffered in silence.  I was to embarrassed to tell anyone. This week I tried dulcolax.  I bought it from asda and in the first night I took 1. Nothing all night but during the day I had stomach cramps (mild). Finally I had a small stool. It Was painful like usual but not as much. Last nigh I took another. And I passed a larger stool. I'm a bit worried from reading bad reviews so I don't want to push to two pills so I'm going to stick to one tonight and hopefully I get back to a good rhythm. It's worked so far though so I recommend!"


"So I started this yesterday after being on trazadone that wasn't working anymore, I'm on it for ptsd and chronic aniexty.

I took my first one last night and it took about 10 mins to fall asleep, I am on 150mg I woke up today and I have never felt so terrible, I felt like a zombie, I could barely string a sentence together. The day went on and I was still feeling terrible with dizzy spells, then I had a major hot flush felt violently sick and could barely stand, I decided to lie day, after what felt like a few seconds I passed out, and was having extremely vivd dreams (very creepy) I woke up a few hours later and felt slightly better, I know it takes a while to get used to them, but I wasn't expecting that, hopefully tommorow won't be as bad"


"I've been on Bupropion 150 SR once a day for 8 days. So far I'm only feeling side effects; dry mouth, sweating, jaw clenching. It has not lifted my depression or energized me. Celexa and Zoloft used to work for me but then slowly stopped working. I'll try to stick it out for a few more days. I was really hoping that this med would work for me. I feel that I may be drug-resistant to A/Ds. I also take 1 mg Klonopin to sleep and to lower anxiety."


"My 6 year old was prescribed this and when I found out the cost I googled coupons for it and got it cheap! Had the pharmacist try a few of the codes until it came down in price. Works great too!"


"Flomax (Tamsulonsin hydrochlorid) helped me to uriniate normally. It did make me feel very tired and weak. I was taking one 0.4 mg a day. I started taking it with breakfast, but switched to taking it after dinner. That helped with most of the tiredness."


"Recently diagnosed stage 1(142/92) and was put on 10mg of lisinopril. After reading the many horror stories, I was hesitant to start taking it and was going to consult the doctor about alternatives before trying. In lieu of talking with the doctor about alternatives, I decided to take a few days off and start the 10mg dosage to see how it would make me feel.  Day 1 and 2, I was a little foggy and had some fatigue but the BP results were seen within 1 hour of starting (120/70) and have been taking now for two weeks with no more side effects.  Beyond now taking the drug and a few lifestyle changes, I am very happy with the results. Working towards getting off this stuff within 6 months with weight loss and life changes. 51/male."


"I had to stop taking Savella when titrating to 100 mg daily because my normally low normal blood pressure skyrocketed. Just prior to that it caused blurred vision and migraines. I reported the side effects to the FDA. I have a long history of fibromyalgia, 16 spinal disc bulges and herniations, polyarthralgias, arthritis and severe myofascial syndrome. Now, several months later I am willing to try another trial because the Savella is the only thing that helped me.  I bought a blood pressure cuff and will monitor my pressure daily and will not go beyond 50 - 75 mg/day if I get relief. Hopeful."


"For the first year I say I was just "adjusting."

Irregular periods- going from one a month to twice a month. Then to only one every other month.

Weight gain- NEVER have I had weight issues until about the 8 month mark I really starting noticing it.

Sore breasts- this started immediately. So bad that I would take ibuprofen and sleep with a hot rag on them. I could barely move sometimes without horrible swollen breast pain. Has stopped somewhat lately.

Nausea- After having the nexplanon in for about 6 months nausea began as a PMS symptom. I would be driving &have to pull over to throw up. Then the next day i would realize my period was starting. No cramps or other symptoms. Another 6 months later the nausea went away & others came back"


"I've been on Xulane for several months now and I hadn't had a problem until February, when the patch started to give me huge raised rashes, I tried it on multiple spots on my body, tried washing with different soaps, using different lotions, nothing worked.  I feel like they must've switched the adhesive recently, because this problem happened out of the blue and wasn't isolated to one patch (I even got a new package, and still had the same issue occur).  I'm really disappointed because I loved this birth control, but I suppose I'll just have to find something new when I have the time.  It's really ruined all the skin I've put it on. The skin where the rashes appeared seems to have scarred."


"I've been taking this medicine for 2 days and all I can say is wow! Is this what normal life is supposed to feel like? I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition that is caused by a lifetime full of anxiety and the tightening and clenching of muscles that were not intended to be in constant use. The pit in my stomach is gone and I am actually looking forward to waking up in the morning and being able to face the day anxiety free!"


"I have three herniated discs in lower back and pinched nerve which left me unable to do things for myself, even standing and walking was impossible. Within hours helped with pain and in a couple of days I can walk again."


"I've been on YAZ for 18 months. Since starting Yaz, I've noticed no major weight changes (maybe lost a few pounds, but I attribute that to stress) and some minor acne breakouts. The biggest three changes were mood swings, change in menstrual flow, and a HUGE decrease in libido. My husband noticed my mood swings and said I seem to be overall less enthusiastic about life. My flow changed to some very strange bleeding (heavy in the morning, nonexistent at night, sometimes lasting 10 days). Overall, my period flow was lighter, I just couldn't seem to get a normal flow. The lack of libido has been a huge deal in my marriage. I went from wanting sex a few times a week to not wanting it at ALL."


"I have taken Niaspan 2000 mg for several years now.  It has had great success in raising my HDL and keeping my triglycerides low.  For years, I had minimal problems with flushing.  But now recently, I have had a number of episodes where I have woken up in the middle of the night with almost unbearable itching/burning skin.  I took a break from the Niaspan for a couple nights, and then when I tried it again the itching was worse.  I am going to have to discontinue this and consult with my doctor about what to do next to keep my numbers good."


"I injured my back in 1991 which lead to 2 major spinal fusions . After the fusions i became depressed. Subsequently , I was put on Cymbalta 60 mg and a various array of pain medication . One year later , I was diagnosed with bowel cancer at 40 and a year after that , prostate cancer . After 11 operations I was depressed and very very sore. both in the abdomen and of course the spine .
I drank and drank . It seemed like the only thing that would ameliorate the pain.

Three months ago my GP started me on Lyrica . After 3 days , pain was gone, also my anxiety seemed to just hop up and walk away .
Im only drinking a few beers on a saturday now.

Lyrica saved my life . I dont say that flippantly ."


"Started on 75mg twice daily, noticed some effect, just a tease or a promise. Upped it to 150mg twice daily and yes, it definitely works to eliminate "one level of pain", while leaving some "levels of pain" still there. I do feel side effects of feeling calm while having  more motivation for projects, some slight feeling of alcohol-like impairment (not so much after less than a week of 300mg/day). I also occasionally use oral cannabis and the Lyrica potentiates it quite a bit. I'm feeling very positive about this medicine, even though it doesn't get at all levels of my pain, I like what it does do for me."


"I've suffered from clinical depression and a severe explosive disorder all my life. My doctor prescribed this specificallly for my explosive disorder.  Since I was depressed and negative most of the the time, I was easily annoyed and angered. When angered, I became quickly stressed out and would "blow up" and go off "like a rocket" in fit or rage yelling, screaming. pounding and smashing things. The Lamotrigine successfully controls my explosive disorder. It also helped my depression and improved my mood.
The doctor started me off at 100 mg a day. However, I had a adverse reaction to that amount. My heart would start racing  and I felt wired up and couldn't relax or sleep.
So I reduced my dosage to 25 mg a day, and I'm able tolerate that."


"I took Plan B 11 hours after unprotected sex. I had very mild cramps a few hours after taking the pill.  My period came 2 weeks after, heavier than usual and lasted 8 days. This pill really works. "


"I woke up at 5am with a terrible stomach virus....I swear I thought I was dying. It was coming out both ends and I was in terrible pain from the cramping. I had to lay in the floor by the toilet because I didn't have time to make it from the bed when the cramping hit me...I happened to remember that I had ondansetron(zofran) in the medicine cabinet and my wife gave me one 8mg tablet sublingual. I was better in fifteen minutes. Miracle drug!"


"After years of constipation and 17 days of no bm I called my gi and he gave me samples of this. 1 hr after I took the pill I had a bm. I am on day 4 and have gone every day. I have to take it when I get home from work because I go to the bathroom within 15-30 after I take the pill. Hope this continues to work this well. It has saved my life!! Now if I can get my insurance to pay for it, I will be happy!"


"I've only been taking Yaz a month, but in that month I dropped ten pounds. I started having this weird burning sensation in my stomach. I get really bad dizzy/spacy spells. I'm switching back to my other birth control!"


"I am grateful for my transplant however side effects of this medicine have been crazy. I was on it for 8 years with my first transplant. I put on 50lbs in 6 months. Broke out all over my chest and back.  My hair grew thick and dark everywhere.  Now with my second transplant I put on 65 lbs, no break out and have been experiencing hair loss. The entire time I've been on it I have had major mood changes and agitation."


"I am a 38 year old woman who has abused alcohol since 2004. I've been taking Baclofen (90mg/day) for one year and it has been a huge game changer in my struggles with alcohol. It has decreased cravings, general anxiety and overall alcohol consumption. I have not upped the dose to hit "the switch" that, for many, results in total indifference to alcohol. Along with my psychiatrist, I am uncomfortable exceeding the FDA recommended dosage by so much. But even so, this drug has really helped improve my life."


"Had Oxycontin addiction, went to methadone for 2yrs tapered from 150mg to 25mg then switched to Suboxone for 2 years. tapered from 32mg to 0.5mg. Initial taper was quick and I was at 2mg and below for the 2nd year. I was on 0.5mg (a quarter of a 2mg pill) for 2 months before I stopped. I stopped Sep1309 (7 weeks ago). Withdrawals are not as severe as oxycontins but long. The first week was hard and 2nd week was better and by week 3 I was much better. Here is the thing. I am still not sleeping well (5hrs/night) not solid, my motivation and energy are low, skin still crawls and Jimmy legs are the worst! (7 weeks).. After research, it looks like I will be dealing with this for 6 months-year. "


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and the beginings of osteoarthritis. I'm a 24 year old mother of 3 children, and for me, Cymbalta has helped manage my pain. With 2 kiddos under the age of 3, and a special needs step-child, I don't have time to hurt, and I definitely can't lay around when I have a flare-up. Cymbalta has made the pain lessen from a screaming pain, to more of a whisper. Do I still have flares? Yes. But they are fewer and the pain is less, and I am able to control my flares better with the help of naproxen and a muscle relaxer. As far as side effects, I've noticed some loss of appetite and constipation. Every medication has some sort of negative effect, but you have to pick and choose what you are willing to live with."


"I got Liletta inserted on November the second. I cramped, but I was fine. I have two kids, I got pregnant while on Skyla. I thought to give this a try, since it has a higher hormone amount. I have been on my period now for 4.5 weeks, its been relatively light. Nothing crazy at all, and no cramping. But now its even more blood.

My husband and I have had sex, ( he could care less about getting me pregnant or not) So far, I'm not pregnant. So I guess its doing its job. But I haven't had acne, no weight gain, no change in skin... Just this dang long period. But Ill give myself a longer time to see how it does."


"Supraventricular tachycardia began 4/2012. Initial prescribed amount 240 mg (80mg) 3 x a day reduced for travel purpose to 1180mg per day. Prescribed with Flecainide (50mg 2x a day) Some constipation, Some melancholia and anxiety. Overall satisfaction okay."


"At 56 years old and being raised to "put on a happy face", I can finally say I feel happy and emotionally alive. Depression had consumed me for 35+ years. I was a hollow shell. Talk therapy did nothing. Once the Dr. discovered the brain had damage to the neurotransmitter/receptors and started me on slowly increasing doses of Effexor XR the depression cleared. I now take 150mg daily. There has been no negative side effects. It's been 3 years now. People who know me well are extremely supportive; those who don't know my "history" would be surprised learning I take an antidepressant. Only rated as a 9 because long term/life long use is unknown still."


"I've had Implanon for about4 years now. I just got it reimplanted. If I recall correctly you do spot the first year or the first two years. I just don't remember spotting as much the third year. Your mood may change a bit. You may get some acne. You also may gain some weight. I don't know how it affects my sex drive. This is what I've experienced. HOWEVER, in comparison to other birth controls, this one is great. The bloating and backache that I got when I was on my period is nothing compared to the small bloating and backache you may get when on this. I get no cramps or fatigue. Depo Provera gave me hot flashes. The NuvaRing kept falling out."


"I've took birth control for 4 months. I had a bad habit of missing a lot. I had protected sex April 2nd at 2am. The condom broke and he had already ejaculated in the condom. I took plan b 9 hours afterwards. It's been a week since I've took it and I've already started my period. The pill has crazy side effects but it's worth it. don't stress about it because the pill is very reliable!!!"


"Immediate relief.  No upset stomach, no numbing of fingers, just sweet relief.  I took .06 at onset and .06 eight hours later, pain gone in about 20 hours. "


"I've been taking this approx 1 month.   Appetite is gone and I'm only eating 1x a day.   However, I'm having extreme bouts of dizziness and yesterday it took me an hour to drive about 5 miles.   I have no idea what i did in that time and was shocked to see the clock!  Wtf was i doing?   Hoping this goes away soon as I'm about 250 lbs and 5'10 with diabetes and fibro.   I have noticed much more energy and less pain from fibro!"


"Was given this drug while pregnant for morning sickness. Didn't help at all, gave me a headache and actually made me throw up a few times. My son was also born with a genetic mutation - Epidermal Nevus syndrome which I'm sure is from the Zofran as it is not approved for use during pregnancy. If I could go back in time I would NOT have used this during pregnancy.
I was also given this drug several times for gastroenteritis with the same result - headache and increased vomiting.
Did not work for me."


"I have been on Nexplanon for a while. During the beginning, I had my period on my normal time of the month. After my first year, I had begun barely having a period. I don't know if it's diet or something, but I'm on my second year and I have begun having my period for a month at a time, but three months without one. Overall, I'm not pregnant, and it hasn't effected my mood, craving, acne, anything."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I had a heart attack and underwent an emergency double heart bypass. There were complications that left me in an induced coma for 17 days. This was three years ago. I was only 47 years old.

I had a Defibrillator / Pacemaker fitted. Two weeks ago it activated. I had made a huge effort over the past three months to address my health. I lost 21kg in weight. I didn't crash diet but more so drank protein shakes and fruit. Then all of a sudden I kept feeling dizzy. I had lost a lot of energy. Even walking 100 metres was difficult. Then my Defibrillator activated. I was taken to hospital. My Defibrillator was adjusted and I was placed on Apixiban. Within hours I felt great."


"No matter how much sleep I got, I was constantly tired. I could barely function during the day. And when I was functioning, I wanted to eat EVERYTHING. In 2 months I ended up gaining 15 lbs, which definitely did not help with the depression."


"Thanks to this site I got accurate information on MIA 110, which I've never received before.  I have been using generic Fioricet for many years, and it still goes a long way for headaches, but migraines need the added Maxalt for me."


"I have both severe back pain and stomach pain, following 7 surgeries. Lortab was helpful, Codeine useless. Tramadol worked 1st pill, 1st time. It is excellent."


"Went in today as my test results from last week came back negative however the person I had slept with had claumida. I have never had an STD aswell!!!

Not even an hour in and I am in agony! I was told I could take them in the doctor rooms (I had eaten only a crumpet with orange juice), as soon as I got home my mouth is filling with watery saliva, I'm laying in bed sweating, my stomach is going crazy, I have extreme nausea, dry mouth and have intense stomach pains. I'm really hoping this doesn't continue for long as this is hell. I'm angry that they don't give anti nauseas with this medication or something to ease this discomfort? I pray that anyone else who goes through this has better medication on the market by then!!! :'("


"Before I was on it, I was always tired."


"If a medicine states that dizziness or drowsiness may occur, one of those will usually happen to me.  I have not experienced either of those with this medication.  Very pleased with the results of breaking up my congestion in my chest and sinuses."


"It's effective - I have yet to become pregnant, HOWEVER, I've had the worst breakthrough bleeding and weight gain. Going back to loestrin. My primary Doctor changed my prescription without my knowledge and my ogyn just told me. I would not recommended Junel to my worst enemy."


"I have been taking phentermine for 3 days now and have already lost 7 pounds. I have also stuck with a 1000 calorie diet & 30 minutes of exercise at least 3-4 times a week if not more. I am really amazed by this! Three months ago, I had my first child. I gained 60 pounds while pregnant & I felt awful! After the pregnancy, I still had over 40 pounds on me! I have tried everything and nothing seemed to work that great. This diet pill is just a miracle in my eyes!"


"I broke out in hives, my skin felt like it was on fire, and my face was burning red all the way down my neck, back and arms. Felt like I was going to itch to death. It happened about 1 every 2/3 days."


"I have had only one side effect that I can tell from it ... I have never had any stamina during sex, but after taking this medicine, I can last for an eternity the first time and then just have to stop during the second or third time because orgasm just don't come.  I am a 42 year old male and this is the second time this has happened.  The first time was about 7 or 8 years ago.  This is the truth and not a fabrication."


"I'm using these eye drops, to get rid of redness, in my eyes, due to dry eye syndrome.  While I do like how it works, it is way too expensive, at 45.00 a copay, and I have very good health insurance. "


"Love it. Had it put in 10 days ago and wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.  I had spotting the first 8 days but nothing a liner could not handle.  The strings seem a little long to me and called the doctor. He said they can be trimmed at anytime.  I would recommend this to everyone I know."


"I started Victoza last Monday night (9 days ago) and bumped the dose to 1.2 last night. My fasting glucose had been 185-190 for the past three months and A1C steadily increasing, from 5.8 to 7.3 in six months. My fasting glucose has dropped steadily to its current 115 and I've lost three pounds. The only side effect I've experienced was a touch of nausea on the third day. The injections are completely painless. My only regret is not knowing about Victoza when I was diagnosed three years ago."


"I've missed periods for 2 years since stopping birth control and now been diagnosed with PCOS, and recently after an appendectomy, surgeon noticed signs of endometriosis. The idiotic new obgyn I went to had No idea what Either were. While even training a student, I heard a Lonng 45 min+ conversation between her and a head doctor who was trying to teach her what is was..while I was trying to leave, she came in and said endo was blood that gets stuck internally in wrong places... uggh my friend knew MUCH more about it and informed me the textbook definition etc. I've been on the 10 day med. to prompt a period so my lining doesn't build up too thick n cause cancer it's not working tho two 10 day scripts and nothing but sore huge breasts. I think its called methohydroxidone"


"It only took 4 doses of the 25mg starter pack to cause major issues for me. I experienced sleep disturbances that exacerbated my depression and anxiety. It's been a few days since my last dose and I'm still struggling with insomnia, panic and frequent tearfulness."


"I am only on week 2 so I myself need to bare with it..I've so far noticed a dramatic appetite increase, irritability and a slight headaches... I can only hope this goes away!!"


"I had a liver transplant and was prescribed this medication as an ongoing treatment to combat bacterial infections that may occur due to being on immunosuppressants.  I stopped taking it after one year but then experienced significant acne on my head and chest.  I will resume this medication as obviously it has helped."


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


"I was apprehensive to get this a first, due to the possible side effects, but after insertion I had my period for 3 months with very light spotting in between and then they went away completely. I no longer have to worry about getting pregnant or having my period.  I love Implanon, as I can be sexually active and safe without worry! I recommend trying it."


"Improvement was very apparent in 2 days. An amazing start. Hope it lasts. "


"I've been on it for over a year & it does work against pregnancy but gives me overwhelming nausea every single day & doesn't go away it also fixed my period but gave me cramps"


"Tinnitus, very loud and lasts all day and night. Couldn't sleep until I used Xanax and it worked great!"


"I have had a good experience with Paxil thus far, and I wanted to put it out there because I think it's usually the bad experiences that prompt folks to write these reviews! I'd tried other SSRIs (Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Celexa), with bad results, so I was hesitant. I started on 10 mg/day for two weeks then went to 20mg. At first I didn't notice much, but by the third week my obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety were greatly quelled. I feel a general sense of well-being and satisfaction with life, yet I'm still productive/creative/ME. No ill side effects whatsoever. I hear the withdrawal is a bear, and I'll cross that bridge when I get there, but, so far so good."


"I love Adipex. It is a miracle drug."


"I have been taking this medication for about three months now. It has cleared up 80% of my acne, and I have not gotten any new acne since I've been on it. Also, I haven't lost any hair, or had any side effects/problems while on this medication."


"I have had this since September of last year and have been gaining weight and can never tell when I am full so I constantly eat and eat and don't know when to stop. I have regular periods which is the only positive thing about it. I have headaches all of the time, I am very snappy and cranky all of the time and have to constantly remind people that I'm usually not like this. I have been breaking out really bad since I started taking this and its only been in for a few months but my face looks horrible and because of the breakouts I am starting to feel very down and not wanting to show my face because it's just way too much to deal with right now. I am so ready to get this thing out. "


"7-day regime prescribed: now in day 3 and feeling great!  Day 0 I was flat in bed with 105 fever.  I am 60 and no side effects at all."


"I just started my 3rd pack of Norethindrone. It's much better than the combo pill I used to take because that made me gain 15 pounds, cry constantly, and give me mood swings.The first month wasn't bad but these last few weeks have been awful. I've bled for at least 20 days out of this month. Sometimes it's light spotting and then sometimes it's heavy DARK blood within days of my normal period ending. I'm constantly paranoid I'm going to bleed through my clothes and having to wear a tampon constantly is annoying and expensive. I've also noticed that my breasts are larger which yeah is kinda nice but none of my bras fit and the past few weeks they've been constantly tender. I'm giving it one more month."


"Humatrope first started being used in 1987 I have read.  I started taking daily shots in 1988.  At the time I was 14 years old, 5'4", 170lbs, and had ZERO growth hormone in my body.  As it stood without treatment it appeared that I would never hit puberty.  I began taking daily shots every day for two years.  During that time I only missed two days.  I grew from 5'4" to 6' by 16 years of age and weighed the same weight that I had before I began the shots.  My body developed normally and I noticed no side effects.  Even after I stopped taking the shots I still continued to grow an additional inch.  My farther is 5'10", my older brother is 5'11" and I am 6'1".  It worked PERFECTLY for me."


"After retin A seemingly stopped working, my doctor put me on differin. I had high hopes but it didn't work out. This gel didn't cause the dry irritation in my skin but instead caused my skin to become excessively oily which then cause blackheads to pop up all over my face, which I've never had a problem with them, except maybe a few on my nose and in the creases of my nose. I started getting blackheads on my forehead (and I'm not talking about them being barely noticeable, they were large and made noticeable bumps on my skin) on my chin, between my eyebrows - everywhere. I also started developing acne on my cheeks which I've never had before so I stopped taking the mediation after that completely."


"Hello, I've been on the Depo shot and I'm fully satisfied. I didn't have any side affects. Lost my period which is normal & gained 5 pounds. All I had to do is follow my doctors orders wait 24 to 36 hrs so it takes effect & I'm fully protected. I really recommended it. Its worth it if you don't want to have a huge responsibility of having a child. Or in some cases having horrible cramps & heavy periods. I'm #1 fan of Depo shot. Everybody is different, it works for me but maybe not for you. I'll never be off it unless I'm married & wanting children."


"I started taking this medicine when I was about 7 because I had severe eczema. My doctor only prescribed me 25mg at first because of my age, at first it would knock me out about 30-1 hour after taking it but it really helped with itching at night. Than as I got older by body got used to the medicine so my dosage was moved up to 50mg and it had the same effect. Than eventually I got all the to it and you have to take A LOT for it to work. . As i got older my eczema became more easy to control so i stopped taking but had it on stand by. Hydrozine is very good for allergies too or to help a allergic reaction."


"I got it in July 15th because I was getting married a month later. The healing itched and now it still kind of itches but its not that bad. I started bleeding 10 days later and have had spotting ever since. I am supposed to have my period this week and its heavier than the usual spotting but not to bad. I don't think I have had weight gain if anything, I've lost weight. My skin is normal. I think the biggest problem I have faced is the emotional and hardness of my mood swings. I often cry for no reason but it only lasts about 5 to 10mins than I realize its the implant and it all goes away."


"This is the third time that I am taking Flagyl for BV within a year. I have never had a problem or any side effects until this time around. It makes my stomach hurt pretty badly and puts a terrible taste in my mouth. Otherwise this medication does work."


"Makes you gain weight"


"I have had a reaction to this medication both times we have tried it with fast heart rate, hypotension, and nausea and vomiting. My symptoms were a little better after starting with Benadryl and Phenergan. I was taking Berinert on  basis of about once a week depending on swelling. I didn't have a reaction at all with this medicine. My doctor has suggested that we go back to using the Berinert."


"5 weeks after I started Nardil my life completely changed. After 15 years I could smile again.
I have tried every drug under the sun for my depression and social anxiety (SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, APs, benzos, opiates) but nothing has worked until Nardil."


"I had Implanon inserted in February 2010 when my youngest daughter was 10 weeks old.  Insertion was pretty easy, my arm was sore for about a week after insertion while the skin on my arm got used to the implant being there.  It was fine while I continued to breastfeed.  I quit breastfeeding in July and in August started a period which has not stopped.  I am very crampy and tired all of the time.  My husband is so tired of me bleeding because that means no sex.  I have not gotten pregnant with this birth control.  Scheduling with my ob to get it removed and considering going back to Mirena which is what I had after my first daughter and did not have any of the issues."


"Had 1st infusion of rituximab & experienced tingling in & around mouth, white of eyes turned blood red. Later that day I had palpitations & shortness of breath. The next morning I had nausea & severe headaches. By lunchtime I was so cold I was shivering, despite hot water bottles and going to bed did not get warm until the early hours of the next day, then I started with a temperature.  Have rheumatoid arthritis affecting most joints, the joint pain increased further. Its been 3 weeks since my 1st infusion, my gut instinct is not to have the 2nd, I'm still enduring the side effects daily however not as severe as at 1st."


"Took Mucinex at 5 in the afternoon. Around 8 took my night meds, Next morning stumbling around, Body felt like it was flooded with heat-chest and arm pains. Had myself checked out and was ok. Pulled up website to get complete list of medicines not to take it with and found my answer there. If you have access to the internet I would put the OTC medicine in and get a complete list of what not to take it with."


"I have smoked since I was 15 years old and am now 51, and just decided it was time to quit. My first week on Chantix, while still allowed to smoke, I decided to cut way back, just to see if I could, and it was a piece of cake. From 20 - 30 cigs a day down to 3 or 4. My quit date was 11/11/13 and it's been 8 days and no smoking! It's a miracle pill, but you have to want to quit or nothing is going to work. I now find myself going 1/2 day without even thinking about smoking and when I do think about it, I'm not even the slightest bit tempted to do it. I'm done with that nasty habit. Good luck to you too!"
