"Best medicine out there! I've had seizure for 7 years now and used to have them every other day and sometimes a couple in a row to. And about 2 years ago I got put on this medication and has stopped my seizures! I've tried 5 or 6 different medications and this one is the only one that actually worked great! Anyone reading this give it a try because it works!!"


"After 20 years of getting up every hour and a 1/2 to urinate, I am now able to sleep for 6 hours without waking. This has changed my Life."


"After the first few months of adjusting to it, I found that I really loved this birth control, and it is highly effective. First few months were really easy and smooth with the exception of feeling really tired. I typically react that way by hormones/estrogen. Everyone's different. After that, my skin cleared up, my breasts grew a whole size bigger, my anxiety got better, and my sex drive is insanely active. I would recommend this to any woman under 35 who doesn't smoke."


"On it again for OCD and depression. Actually still tired after 6 weeks switched to night and screws up my sleep pattern. Not sure when to take it. It does help but can you live this tired forever?."


"I am a 36 yo male , I am a Student Pastor , i started Contravene on June 3rd 2016.  I use to be in great shape , but over the years I've let it slip away. Every youth event it was Pizza, Burgers or Hot dogs, so you can imagine how quickly the weight can get put on. I stepped on the scale at the doctors office and was embarrassed , 290pds.

The Doctor recommended a Jump start to help me with my weight loss that I so desperately needed. I was borderline  diabetic .

I read a lot of reviews and was worried about the side effects. Seems like I was a lucky one , I have had nothing but a small dose of dizziness (just the first week)  , but other than that it has been Great!!! I am About to start 4th week now , and I have already lost 22 pounds."


"Very slow to see results. Have been on Xenical for 2 weeks. Only lost 1.5kg. Taking Duramine as well. Been going to gym daily for pilates,  yoga and circuit. Cut out wine totally..only have whiskey at night. Results seemvslow"


"Used Abreva once before - 2 yrs. and it worked.   Have been using it once more (5 days now) with no results.  If anything, the cold sore has gotten bigger.  $20 wasted."


"I was prescribed a combination of Clonidine and Celexa to get rid of my Hot Flashes as I did not want to take Hormones. (Weight gain possibility and the fact I'd already been on them since I was 29, I'm 47) It works!! But when you first take Clonidine, you are so tired you cannot keep your eye's open. I literally could not, if my life depended on it, stay awake for ANYTHING. I was on one in the morning, one in the evening. I had to take them both just before bed. At first you are so thirsty and dry mouth you can barely stand it. It does all pass once you get used to it. "


"I've had nexaplanon for 9 months now, at first when first inserted I started my period regularly but it was like a month long and it was very light, just really a annoying! But after that no period for 8 months, I have gained 10 pounds and get more acne than usual, horrible mood swings at first, but I'm doing better now.  but here's the thing that has me really worried, in the beggining of this month I started to work out and lift weights!, after a week of working out super hard, I started getting sore nipples, bloating , and cramps for A WHOLE MONTH (No blood tho) until 2 days ago the blood has came out and it's thick and painful like a regular period! I'm scared and hoping my body is okay, maybe I put my body in shock from working out!"


"This dried up pimples fast. I have moderate acne and within the first week my face had practically dried up. I was excited and loved it. It does leave a white pasty looking film on your face but I used it at night. For 3 months I used it every other night to keep everything at bay. However doctor said it worked so well, they took me off and gave me Differen. Now back to breakouts all over my face and really oily. Can't wait to go back and beg for this again."


"I only lasted on Yasmin for 2.5 weeks. I'm a 29 year old mommy of 1, and haven't taken birth control in about two years. Without any birth control, my periods were very regular and my acne was moderate. I'm a fitness lover, so I'm very strict with exercise and nutrition and I keep my weight in check at all times. My OB prescribed Yasmin to treat my ovulation and menstrual cramping and moderate PMS. This pill turned me into someone else entirely. Within the first two weeks, I had acne all over my chin and under my nose. I became extremely moody, weepy, depressed, anxious, paranoid and jealous. The anxiety made my chest tight and it was hard to take deep breaths at times. I kept telling my husband when we would go out in public that I felt like I was walking in some sort of "dream world" --I wasn't really there.  ...And the weight gain! I spend 5-6 days in the gym every week and eat very healthy--only splurging on small cheat meals on the weekends. In one week, I gained 4 pounds without changing anything, and my stomach stayed hard and bloated looking-it looked like I was pregnant! On top of all of that, my breasts were sore and I had breakthrough bleeding starting on week 2. I'll take cramping and PMS any day over the side effects associated with this pill."


"I've been taking this for the past six months and I'm so ready to ditch it! Yes, it cleared up my acne but I've gained almost 10 lbs and cannot get rid of them! I've tried exercise and changed my eating habits, but no success. It's also made me really irritable and tired. Thankfully I'm meeting with my doctor next month!"


"This drug made my anxiety worse. Need I say anything more? Bad drug!"


"So I've had my Paragard for 6 mos now, after being on Yasmin till pregnancy and then no birth control for a year. Lemme break it down. I consider myself to have a pretty high pain tolerance. I disregarded the advice to take pain meds prior to insertion, and that was a bad move! The pain during insertion and immediately after was prrrrretty horrible. After that, there was some mildly irritating cramping the rest of the day, but nothing horrible. Now, my first period after the IUD - holy moly. It came in the night, and I was not prepared....it looked like a massacre occurred on my couch. My next 3 to 4 periods were HEAVY. Like, super plus tampon every couple hours. I'm happy to say that after 6 months, it's not like that anymore!!"


"Xanax has really helped me relax. I have severe anxiety, depression and PTSD. I take Seroquel XR and recently my doctor switched me from Xanax to Atarax. The Atarax did not work at all. I have suffered from anxiety for years and the only thing that has been effective is Xanax. I would recommend this to anyone who has moderate to severe anxiety. It does have a high addiction rate, so be extremely careful when taking this."


"I am now 2 weeks in and this stuff is REALLY unpredictable. I was taking hyzaar before and supplemented with clonidine. The combo works but the clonidine made me exhausted all the time. Without the clonidine my BP was typically around 140/100.
Tried verapamil and apparently calcium channel blockers do nothing at all for me. So doctor talked me into edarbychlor trial month. My price for hazaar was $4 for 90 days. Price under my insurance is $214 for same 90 days for Edarbychlor, but doctor assured we could find pharmacy to give discount. Nope.
But ignoring the price: Sometimes my BP is 135/95. Sometimes it is 115/75. There is no association with routine or times. Exercise made it plummet to 65/45. So I think discontinue."


"I have been using this medicine for over 6 months.  At first it was great because I quit experiencing the low blood sugar at lunch time from glyburide.  Now I am having a little higher blood sugar, 120-145 fasting, which is high for me, and horrible heartburn and stomach issues.  Not sure if it is stress or a side effect.  May take a break from it and see what happens."


"I am 36 yrs old and I have had my nexplanon for almost 3 years now (2 months shy) and I have had a couple of the side effects but nothing to bad or I couldn't work through. I was just talking to my obgyn about setting up my appointment to get it removed and she said they just OK-ed it for 4 years so now I don't have to worry about anything for another year. I'm a woman so between stress, a 3yr old, financial issues, family problems and baby daddy problems I'm going to be moody, have headaches, bleed irregular sometimes cuz of stress, loss of appetite, get depressed, gain weight so I DO recommend it but everyone's body is different so I have to find what makes u comfortable."


"Over the past few years I have tried all the medication for a overactive bladder that is available through my doctors. This medication for me is the best one, it works really well and I have no symptoms of an overactive bladder and helps with my bladder leaking. The only reason I did not give it 10/10 is the side effects dry mouth, thirst, and I do feel very tired when taking this tablet."


"This is the second time my son has been on Tamiflu for type B  influenza in three years. My husband and I decided to give it a try the first time and it worked so good. This second time when the doctor asked us if I wanted to give him the medicine I knew I would. The main symptom that it helped with was his stuffy nose, sore throat and body aches. Within one day last time he was up and about. This time I see a difference starting two days after taking.  His fever was 102.3 for two solid days and it's down to normal. This only works if you start taking it within 24 hours after first symptoms begin. Will not work any later because of the way the flu progresses in the body."


"Took this 12 hours after incident. It was the last day of my period. My period was a week late but it was my own fault for stressing so much. I literally couldn't eat and it was thanks giving when I was due. Few days later my period came and all its cramps and hot flashes and glory. I never had been so happy to get it. My biggest advise is to stay calm. Reading these helped me so I'm trying to pay back the kind words of relief I read when I was in pieces. Stay calm. It works."


"I have taken numerous bipolar medications, a combination of lithium and seroquel has so far helped to manage my life. Lithuim has made a difference in my thinking and made me less argumentive. I'm a month into this new medicine, lithuim, and have already felt and seen improvements in the severity of my thoughts. Hope this can help."


"OK, so have only been on 50mg sertraline for a week. They did give me an instant calmness which I wasn't expecting. However, the side effects are a little too much for me. Upset stomach, blurry vision, concentration problems, but the insomnia is the thing that's getting to me the most. 3 days of virtually no sleep is making me feel terrible. I'm getting off these as the cons outweigh the pros for me, but completely understand why others would stick with them. All medicuness work differently on people, sertraline just won't be for me."


"I had implant for a full three years from 2013-2015. During the second year, I was diagnosed with depression and severe panic attacks, I seriously believe it was caused my my Implanon hormones. I got it removed after 3 years of guessing what was wrong with me. Now I have Nexplanon, I had it inserted September 15th 2015. It is currently December 2015. I've gained over 5 pound and conitnue to gain weight. I'm 5ft and (was) 100 pounds. I DO NOT GAIN WEIGHT. I am having my Nexplanon removed Jan. Also, I have severe acne due to this drug. So to wrap up all symptoms I have since I got this drug, nausea weight gain acne depression anxiety followed by severe panic attacks. I'm not pregnant but I am sure not happy."


"Fioricet was a God-send for my chronic headaches. "


"Finally I have found a drug that works for me! In 2 months I have lost 25lbs. My sugar levels are at an all time low.

Yes I get some nausea and a little upset stomach but nothing different than before being on other shots/meds.

What I have found that works for me is eating a heck of a lot less. If your not feeling hungry, don't eat unless your sugar is low of course. Eat very small portions. If you start to feeling full, STOP eating!

Very small portions and relax. That's my .02

This is the best drug I have found since being diabetic but being a realist, drugs react differently to the individual. You won't know till you try."


"I've had this since November. I started to have 2 periods a month and a little weight gain. A little more up and down with moods. Don't get it would be my recommendation."


"Very effective but the side effect are bad if I don't take it correctly. I think there are ways you can reduce the effects( getting correct dosage of course)
Before you consider going up a dose its worth considering. When you take them? I began taking  mine at night, but have since taking  through the day avoids headache, vision blurred, tremours. I take more last dose, breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Do you take them food?I take them with food, I defiantly feel side effect, every time if I don't eat properly and skiip a meal
Are you on any hormone treatment hrt/pill? I have found that there is a, as I call it, lower absorption rate as I'm on hrt and my consultant phy agrees, so I am taking a high does.What dosage?
Even 25mg makes a difference."


"I've been on Zovia for 5 years, and haven't noticed ANY side effects. No weight gain, in my breasts or elsewhere. Before birth control, I had a very light 4-5 day period, on Zovia, it's nearly non-existant, a pantyliner is all I need. I haven't needed a tampon in 5 years. I take Zovia almost religiously on-time everyday, and 5 years and counting, no pregnancies! Other birth controls that I tried really messed with my emotions and I spent a lot of time crying for no reason, so I'm very, very happy with Zovia for not messing up my hormones to the extent that I experience mood swings."


"I was told by my doctor I have had hepatitis c for 25yrs. The only symptoms I have are fatigue and some jaundice thank goodness. I currently have hepatitis c genotype 1, I have been taking harvoni for 3 weeks now the only side effects I have had are headaches, and fatigue I have noticed I get up in the morning now feeling great, I used to have a hard time getting out of bed. Now I spring out of bed I can exercise and do daily chores. I thank god for harvoni. I got for my  first lab tests on July 27th. I can't wait to find out the results. 10yrs ago I tried the interferon and ribavirin with the weekly painful injections, I was stopped after 3 months due to suicidal thoughts and the fact that it wasn't working I was devistated."


"This has really helped me with withdrawal symptoms."


"I've suffered with Bipolar II for roughly 7 years, after two suicide attempts, months of insomnia, and horrible manic events, I finally found a doctor who knew what he was talking about! In combination with Prozac, I have started my titration of Lamictal. I tried Zyprexa and gained 20 pounds in a month. With Lamictal, I've lost that and more. I hardly feel hungry. I have faith that once my dose is increased I won't have as many depressed days. So far so good!"


"I got my first depo provera shot in May of 2015. I bled for two months straight, but I was warned that this would happen. It was annoying in the summer but it wasn't super heavy and it all stopped one day. Now, I've gotten the shot 3 more times (I think) since then and I haven't bled a drop! I don't know why everyone says they've bled so much. Also, I'm very happy and I've lost 10 pounds since before my first shot. This birth control is the best! I'm only in my first year of it, so I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but it has been a blessing. I would also just like to note, however, that I received my first shot while I was on the 1st day of my period. I think this is important, because the doc said so. Good luck!"


"I took the Take Action Levonorgestrel pill because I was worried the condom broke the first time.  The second time I had sex it was unprotected so I took this pill again.  I expected my period mid September and it NEVER came.  I drove myself crazy taking pregnancy tests and researching pregnancy symptoms.  Finally... 3 weeks later my period came.  The pill works ladies.  Don't stress yourself out like I did.  Your period will come and if you're extremely late it is most likely due to a hormone imbalance caused by the pill.  Just relax and try to use protection from now on. :)"


"I'm hoping my comments reaches out to those who like me gave up on medication time and time again as it affected their work outs. As a long distance runner and someone suffering from years of major PTSD and Anxiety, it was nearly impossible to have the stamina to run while on meds. I'd have to grin and bear the struggles of my PTSD without meds during my years of marathon training. Cymbalta and Latuda have been the perfect combination for me. Though Latuda is more for Bi-Polar, it has helped many people with PTSD, like myself. I have no weight gain and I have plenty of stamina to do my running. I'm so grateful to God and my doctor for finding the best program for me. If you're an athlete, help is out there."


"I took this medicine for a very short while.  It began with serious nausea followed by vomiting a couple of weeks later.  I could not take this medicine."


"Abilify has caused some weight gain and I feel like a slightly depressed zombie throughout the day. I am taking an extremely low dose of this medication. I want to feel better but some days it is difficult."


"I started getting symptoms late last night, so I went to the doctors this morning, and I was given a shot of rocephin and two tablets of azithromycin. Once I took the tablet I was actually feeling a little bit fine, only had a small stomach ache, and then some diarrhea, but that passed quickly. But four hours later, an hour after I had eaten a meal, I just started to experience the worst abdominal pain and diarrhea imaginable! It literally felt as if my insides were being turned inside out! It was the absolutely worst, but I am better now, the infection seems to be gone, and I am never having unprotected sex again, until I get married!"


"Tried many of the medicines for panic and severe anxiety. Klonopin works very well and doesn't make doing day to day things difficult by being "out of it". I have no side effects that I know of and I have taken it for 10 years now."


"I am on the second week and I still feel nausea and its worse an hour or so after I eat.  I have lost about 9 lbs but this mild pain in my gut and feeling in my head needs to go away soon.  My first major hour work out and I couldn't make it more than 1/2.  Today I was able to make it the hour but I felt like crap.  And I am hot more than normal and sweat worse than ever.  I did read that raising your temperature was one of the ways this was supposed to help burn more stored fat.  I don't know,  If these feelings don't stop soon, I won't be taking it any more."


"I was prescribed this medicine after going to urgent care for what I thought was a basic head cold.  I was told I had the flu. I did not think my symptoms were consistent with what I considered the flu, but I had not been sick in a long time and cannot remember when I last had the flu.  The medicine definitely dried me up per se, but I started getting real jittery and anxious, and when trying to go to sleep could not due to the itching.  I know I am sensitive to medications and have never had this medicine before.  If you are like me and sensitive to medicines, be prepared for side effects."


"I never write reviews but this was so terrible I have to. I started feeling like I had a YI yesterday morn and by the evening it was really bothering me. This is only the second time I had a YI and last time I used the montistat 3 day medicine which was ok. So when I saw that I could take the medicine all at once I thought it would b a better experience. I was sooo WRONG! I inserted the medicine around 10 pm and went to bed hoping that I would wake up with it gone instead at 3 am I woke up with the worst burning and itching I ever felt in my life!! The pain was so unbearable for several hours until I came across someone's post who suggested advil to help the swelling. So at around 8 am I took advil and put ice  by 10:30 am I feel so much better"


"Been taking phentermine 37.5 mg since April 14 2017 since I'm morbidly obese. My weight was 258lb and I'm now 237lb thats a total of 21 lbs down within a month. I walk every evening for 45 minutes and stay away from highly sugar drinks, breads and greasy fatty foods. My goal is to lose another 40lb by August 15. First week on it I lost 8lbs then following week another 5 then went down to like 4 lbs the following two weeks. I still see it as really good. Went from a jean size 20 to a 16 now. I have been receiving weekly B12 shots for energy. Thats really helps me to staying energetic and active. Definitely a good pill for weight loss."


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


"Lysine is a wonderful amino acid that suppresses cold sores (fever blisters/herpes simplex/HSV-1).  It is also good to take Vitamin C and E with the lysine, but cut down on any supplements and foods high in  L-arginine such as chocolate, peanuts, gelatin, white and whole wheat flour, wheat germ, carob, oats and coconut.  The ratio between lysine and L-arginine plays a role in HSV-1 and HSV-2 as does stress and not getting enough sleep."


"I got the Liletta inserted on October 3rd. I was expecting the insertion to be excruciating after reading tons of reviews but it wasn't bad at all. It was definitely uncomfortable but it was just mostly cramps and I have a very low tolerance for pain. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate the insertion pain a 3. I did take 800mg of ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer a hour before my appt. I've had pretty intense cramps off and on everyday. My doctor prescribed tramadol which I just started today. I take ibuprofen and that helps a lot, as long as I take it before the pain is really bad. I bled every day but it stopped 3 days ago. It was regular bleeding and then brown discharge, which is annoying. Overall I think it will help me in the long run."


"I used this medicine for 3 months, after 6 years of using Gleevec/Glivec. Though it was effective at 3 months, it improved RBC and WBC, reduced pain side effects at rest in comparison with Glivec, I was further restricted in activity than with Glivec. I developed short breathing, extra heart beat which turned into ischemic problem at mid LAD."


"At first I hated this pill because it was doing absolutely nothing for me beside make my skin worse.. I've only had what you'd consider very mild acne but after many tantrums i persisted and kept up with the pill and now I'm nearly on my 6th week and it's only just now that my skin is starting to become noticeably more clear, all I can say is that keep with it even if it does make your skin worse in the beginning because it does work it just takes its time but everyone's experience will be different:) can't wait to see my skin after 2-3 months!

My rating of a 6 is simply because I've been on it for 6 weeks haha so need I say no more, it will more than likely go up as I progress on it!"


"I have been on Bydureon since March 2013.  Started initially with Byetta Sept. 2012 but had to make a switch because of nauseousness.  Bydureon has been so much easier to deal with and I haven't been nauseous.  The differences I found were 1) I feel hungrier with Bydureon (not as much appetite supression) so I just have to make sure I'm using good portion control; 2) I'm not losing weight as quickly as I did on Byetta.  It could be that I'm reaching goal weight and it's harder to lose the last little bit.  Current loss 82 lbs.  As far as BG numbers, I have gone from morning fasting # of 160s/170s before Byetta/Bydureon to 80s/90s now.  I've also gone from 2000 mg metformin daily to 1000 mg daily."


"Its very good. Your day will be started off on a good track."


"I got my implant in October 2015.
First month my period seemed normal,
then like 2weeks later I got my period again, lasting longer then usual. I went for a week with no bleeding. And now I have been bleeding straight for 20days.
No wonder this is an effective birth control option, my boyfriend barely wants to have sex --unless we're in the shower. lol.but no joke, I don't like it and lately I have been feeling dizzy. I'm contacting my doctor this week to see what she has to say. But if by the beginning of the year my body has not "regulated" with this birth control, I will have it removed."


"I have a broken tail bone and an L4 fracture, didnt want pain pills so dr prescribed Butrans. Within 1 hour of putting 5mg patch on I was dizzy and light headed.  I went to bed and woke up still in pain and still dizzy.  Day 2 nausea kicked in and still dizzy, by after i had to call dr because i had a bad headache and very nauseated.  Took Dramamine and helped a lil.  Day 3 - i felt very out of it when i woke up, by 11am, i was extremely nauseated, dizzy and shaking.  Took a Dramamine and ate lunch, this did not help felt horrible at work.  I took the patch off at 12 noon and had to leave work.  I am home and its 6 hours later, shaking has stopped, still very nauseated and dizzy. Very upset because the back pain had almost been totally gone"


"Very effective! But I turn into the devil, hungry, sleepless nights, joint pain and blurry vision."


"My anxiety gave me depersonalization. Whenever I take xanax it clears right up for me, especially if I run out of Klonopin. It's a great back up that helps me when that sudden feeling of panic creeps up on me."


"Works Amazingly!"


"I'm on the 10th week of my first 3 month cycle. So far this pill seems quite good other then spotting which stopped once I started taking it within the same 5 minutes every day. I recently had spotting again which my Dr advised to take 2 pills daily for 3-5 days until it stopped. It now stopped completely. I did have period cramps after 2 months which should have  been my period timing. I also have a huge increase in appetite but I'm not sure if it's from the pill or just from switching my job to part time and being home more.
I plan to continue using this for a while"


"I took this a year ago BEFORE bedtime like the instructions tell you, I woke up in the morning with successful bad cramps in my lower stomach, I got up to go the bathroom luckily my husband followed me thinking it was strange & the pain was that painful I fainted.
Yesterday I was super bloated I had so much gas for hours no idea why & had been toilet few times in the day, then before bed I decided to take 1 tablet to help shift more gas in the night. Woke up at 6am felt fine then about 8am the pains came not as painful as last time but they weren't as bad I would past wind & then suddenly I had to run to the toilet & sit there with the pain like as if everything was moving around the intestines & then it was like sand. It worked but hurts."


"Cut long story short -

I'm 21 years old I've had a lot of problems with my left ovary since I was 14yearsold. I tend to get a lot of cysts on it yet my right ovary is perfect. My gynaecologist suggested that after trying so many pills I was still getting cysts and my periods were horrendous, to try the Mirina coil WORST decision of my life.

At first they tried for 45 minutes to get it in and it would not go so I was told to come back in 2weeks which I did and again it took a lot of trouble and took 1hr and 25 mins until it was in place. After it was in it was just like period cramping. A week after this my stomach bloated making me look 5/6 months pregnant and the pain was excruciating! 1week after having it put in I've had it removed!"


"This may be the most effective drug for OCD (or a close second to clomipramine [ANAFRANIL]). It is inexpensive, and for me worked within a week to calm down intrusive thoughts and lifted my overall mood. I have been on and off this medication 3-4 times, and it worked each time to save me from crippling depression. That said, like all SSRIs, this medication caused sexual dysfunction (difficulty having an orgasm, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction), which was a deal breaker for me, even with OCD. I will say, however, that IN MY EXPERIENCE, the sexual dysfunction caused by fluvoxamine was not as bad as the dysfunction caused by paroxetine [PAXIL], sertraline [ZOLOFT], or Anafranil."


"Been on Qsymia for 2weeks (trial) and as of right now I am on the 7.5 dosage. It does cut my appetite some but I am having trouble losing weight on it . I have been eating healthy & counting my daily calorie intake. I have also been exercising 6days a week. I have a little headache everyday with constant dry mouth and fatigue . If any one has any tips on how I can lose more weight please comment . Thank you . I will continue to update with my progress ."


"Long life and half life, no anxiety spikes between doses. Less withdrawal symptoms when discontinuing. Also less sedating even at 2mg's 3 times a day compared to Xanax."


"Rapaflo has given me a very nice stream and taken away the pressure. I don't mind not ejaculating it's worth the flow. My frequency and urgency are not improved close to 3 months after starting. Get up at night less. Hoping to try it during the day instead of at night or increase dosage by 4 mg."


"I was put in this pill for more than one reason. I've always had irregular periods. I'm 28 and I've been having irregular periods since I was 12.

Recently I found out I had a 6cm cyst on my right ovary and I was put on this pill to hopefully help that too.

I was on this pill for a little over a week before I had to stop it from extreme mood swings to the point I could hardly function. I was crying all the time and a complete mess. Everyone reacts differently but it was awful for me. I'm now having to take anti-anxiety meds to help me get off the effects of this pill. Before this pill I have never had any problems with anxiety / mood swings. I posted this to tell everyone to be careful and listen to your body!"


"
This is the worst medication ever.  Started at 25mg for 7 days at night then moved up to 50 mg. on night 7 to advance each week up until100mg.   Didn't get past day12 and decided this was not going to work for me.  Vertigo, nausea, loss of appetite, irrational fears, phobias, drug induced fog, depression, ringing in ears and can only smell certain strange odors which are unpleasant and all carbonated drinks are flat and tasteless.   At this point, your quality of life is beyond worthless.

It helped with migraines...but I was so preoccupied and sick with side effects I'm not sure what was worse."


"I have used this for years now!  I love it, before taking I absolutely could not sleep.  I started out with 50mg, and am now taking 75mg after all of these years.  I cannot sleep without it and I have no side effects from this medicine.
"


"Certainly helps me to sleep. But first time I slept for about 12 hours which meant that I slept badly the following night. I now take 3/4 of the tablet for a solid 8 hours. I suggest trying 1/2 or 3/4 your first time The first half hour or so on waking leaves me groggy, then I'm fine. Also seems to help me sleep really well the following night. I use only occasionally."


"Left a review when I initially started, said I'd update it after a while of taking the pill. PROS: Regulated and lightened period; effective birth control. CONS: Mild increase in acne; slight spotting in the beginning; nausea; cramping. Nausea and cramping got worse the week before, during, and after my period. By the time I got my period during fourth month, this affected my daily life. Really interrupted my digestive functions - bowel movements ranging from constipation to diarrhea, bloating, general queasiness. On my period during fifth month, actually vomited. Also exponentially increasing depressed feelings. Never before had these problems on my period. Decided to stop taking it because at this point I just want to be happy and healthy"


"I'm a 22 year old Female. (115/5'1) Long story short, I found out I had Tachycardia and experienced palpitations as well. I had extreme anxiety because of it which made it worse. I got prescribed Metoprolol Tartrate twice a day at first and it was a nightmare. It actually had like a reverse reaction on me and gave me constant flutters for a whole day. The doctor told me to take Magnesium twice a day with it and it would help and it definitely did. I eventually switched to the extended release, once a day, along with Magnesium and I couldn't be happier. I feel a lot more relaxed and normal. Had few palps still with Tartrate but not with Succinate (yet). I wanted to wait to write a review because I know I relied on reviews. Hope this helps!"


"I am a 30 year old female. I battled with alcohol for many years drinking mostly 7 days a week.  I am currently finishing a recovery program and asked my counselor about something to help with the intense (overpowering) cravings. She recommended Campral and I was able to get a prescription from my doctor.  I have been on the Campral for 2 days now and can't even believe how well it is working.  Now I can focus my time on being productive, rather than wasting so much time dwelling on the cravings. My mood also seems better too. Life feels good. Thank God for Campral."


"From my experience point of view, wow let me tell you this Tamiflu does wonders. I literally got better within 18 hrs no lie my second dose helped alot."


"Biggest waste of $100 I ever spent. This medication made me SO hungry 24/7 I would eat everything in front of me all day! I felt like I was on a strong steroid and it even got to the point I would toss and turn all night still hungry. I tried it for 18 days straight thinking it took a little while to become effective and gained 6lbs before I stopped. I also spoke with 2 other people who tried it (1 of them a doctor) and they both had the same experience. Wish I could get my money back"


"I had my first PE in both lungs after having myomectomy surgery. Did not know I had a clotting condition. Was experiencing shortness of breath and low energy which I thought was iron deficiency so I went to the ER. CT scan proved PE. After being on a heparin drip 24hrs, the Hematologist prescribed Xarelto and I was released the next morning. Side effects so far after 4 days are: tingling in calves and knees, heavy menstrual bleeding. My period ended 2 days prior and this drug brought it back extra heavy. Bummer!"


"I absolutely love this birth control. I only have had one period while on it. After the first I have had none for the three years. I am going to get it taken out and replaced with a new one this month. When first getting it inserted I had a small bruise and my arm felt sore for about a week. After a little while you forget about it and it takes a minute to find it.  I love knowing that I don't have to remember to take a pill and that it last for three years. I feel protected and it wasn't as scary getting it done as it sounded I will never use any other form of birth control. I honestly feel like this is the best option out there. The scar you get is about the size of a pin head it is smaller then a bug bite. It is not noticeable at all. TRY IT!"


"I started Rapaflo 8 mg yesterday afternoon after my urology appointment. Got up to urinate only once last night - down from 3 - 4 times a night. I am impressed at how "rapid" it worked. Stream is already stronger. Orgasm last evening was same in intensity but produced nothing. This really surprised me as I did not know it was a side effect. Just hope intensity and drive don't decrease as well."


"While it makes me drowsy, gives me dry mouth and can make my scalp tingle/itch it is the only antihistamine that works for my severe hay fever.  The 4 hour pills work most of the time and when my symptoms are really bad the 8 or 12 hour ones make my life normal."

"I have been steadily gaining weight for years now. I'm not a big eater but at my age and with a condition that makes weight loss even more challenging, I was so frustrated. I'm only marginally chubby, size 12+ but Apple shaped. Started feeling winded. Not good. It's been a few months and I've lost well over 20 lbs. it started working immediately. My husband begs me to eat, by mid afternoon I do get a headache so now I'm eating an English muffin. Any thing rich I cannot eat, maybe a few bites at dinner only. I miss savoring  certain foods but my tummy doesn't. The nausea you experience isn't traditional nausea, it's your brain telling you it wasn't the  right food to eat. Strangely, I tolerate pasta and carbs best, but small portions."


"I've been on Contrave for a little over a week! I'm down 12 pounds! This is huge for a girl who excerises and still doesn't lose weight! It definitely curbs my cravings and I don't binge! So thankful for this medicine!!!! Its worth every penny!"


"I have taken Latuda for about 2 weeks for Bipolar Depression. I also take Prozac and Depakote. I have never had a medicine work so quickly and dramatically. I can feel again...love for my family...optimism...although I am not sleeping as I did before. I have gone from 12-13 hours/night to 6-8 hours/night. I have had brief episodes of irritability but so far have been able to resolve them quickly. I feel better than I have in years."


"I have never done a review like this but I feel I should. I have had a major pit sweating problem for the last yr or so. Went to the Dr yesterday for an unrelated issue. While there I brought up the underarm sweating issue I've been having. I assumed he'd say to change my diet or change soaps, etc. instead he prescribed this for me. I picked up the prescription that night and went home to try it. I was absolutely amazed. Immediately after I cleaned and applied, no more sweating. None. Zippo. Nada. Today, just one day after first application I've been dry as a bone all day. All day I've been checking and couldn't believe I was still dry. Amazing stuff. I'm blown away. Thought this was just something I'd have to deal with, but I guess not."


"I was on 100 mg of fentenyl with hydrocodone 10mg on top of that.
I tried to quit cold turkey before but it was the worst experience of my life.

I was given some clonidine  from a friend.

I took a 0.1 of clonidine at night with a gabapentin for my nerve pain in my arm. Sometimes I also took a 0.25 of Xanax. I'm on day four. The ONLY problems I have experienced is a little cramping, slight nerve pain (IF I went past the time I should've taken another dose of clonidine), and I'm very tired, and weak. I can hardly get up to do anything.  I have zero cravings for opiates.

Clonidine DEFINITELY works! Now, how do I get my energy back?"


"I started the nifedipine/Procardia this morning. About 4 hours later the rare side effects kicked in. Heart palpitations, dizziness, headache, and I was FREEZING. Even at 43 I still call my mommy. She wasn't thrilled I was going to take it anyway since I have perfect blood pressure. But she recommended laying on my left side. That did help even if it did take awhile for me to get warm again. The headache is still lingering."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for about 2 years.  I can tell a major difference with an over all improvement and/or tolerance level of pain; I can ,as well, tell that it seems to improve the efficacy of two other medications I am given (morphine and tramadol) Or prescribed, as compared to when I (have done one or two trial periods purposefully x1 and accidentally) missed 4-7 days of not taking the Cymbalta."


"I started Pristiq 2 years ago and have been on risperidone for about 20 years.  These two drugs have kept me feeling quite fuzzy and warm. There is not much that I can't tackle in a day. I am like Teflon when it comes to negativity. 100 mg a day. No worries. I have lost about 30 lbs and have quit smoking after 20 yrs. Pristiq has been my wonder drug. I don't plan on stopping this medication anytime soon."


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


"Love it. Dont have any side effects, acne has disappeared. I'm really happy with it."


"I went on 4/28/15 and as shocked when I weighed in at 189, I'm 5'7".

My walking around weight is typically around 170-175. I started Adipex and went back in June for my check up, I'm down to 174 with steel toes and long sleeve. I was told to avoid the generic and only Adipex, with a coupon it is $50.

The energy boost is great, not too much...just don't take one after about 4 or 5 pm. Now, the interesting part...My weight gain was due to consuming alcohol on an almost daily basis...the Adipex supressed my appetite AND supressed my desire to consume alcohol. I can attribute this to the supression effects of the drug and the dry mouth gives you the desire to drink water or a sports drink."


"I've had hormone related migraines for about 30 years - they got so much worse in my 30's (I'm 52 now).  The ONLY solution I have found is Fioricet PLUS taking the Frova.  It knocks all headaches back into "the background" so I can function.  Sometimes Fioricet alone will work, but, when it won't, Frova is the answer.  Yes...it's expensive and the insurance company rations it to me like gold.  I did insist, however, that if my doc prescribes 12 tabs/month, that the insurance company should not be able to tell me I cannot have 12.  They fought me for a while, but now they are allowing 12 at the same co-pay (probably because the insurance premiums go up every year). "


"Didn't take any pain meds, got put in at 6 week postpartum appointment. Slightly uncomfortable but painless.  Went to the park with the kids afterward. A week later got my period, crampy but tolerable."


"I been on sprintec for about it 3 months and its works good. But I hate the cramps I get when I'm on my period. I recommend it for anybody who needs a good birth control."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Most of people here have mentioned little to no side effects. That is good and I believe you. I’ve been on this for about 18 months. Before that I was on stribild and Atripla before that. Started in 2010.

I’ve no idea why, but I am that 1% who gets side effects others do not. I am now into my 4th doctor since 2003 due to insurance provider issues. Only one ever really listened to me though. One even flat out said it’s not possible to have side effects.

I keep saying I have fatigue and other side effects. I can’t concentrate. Forgetful. I recently found out I have the early stages of neuropathy. I have chronic depression.  I can’t complain since it’s saving my life but I wish they had a way to tweak the dose for each individual. Oh well."


"Plan B did work but I took plan b because I was on the patch it was my week off and me and my boyfriend used protection but unfortunately the condom broke .. in a scare went and purchased plan b about 40+ hours later took it.  I felt nausea and cramps -  nothing unbearable. My cycle came few days early but when it was my next month cycle it took a little longer than expected it came a few days late in this process did take 2 tests to ensure a negative result.  But I finally received my cycle. If u do not have to take it DON'T  but its your choice.  Don't rely on this pill as it also has bad side effects but continue birth control if you are on it and becareful never know what can happen.. Walmart for $46"


"Having tried bith Imatinib and Nilotinib, my Haemotologist tried me on Dasatinib - the effect this drug had on me was devastating, after only 3 days my body literally began to shut down, I was so weak I was crawling on my hands and knees just to go to the bathroom.
After two weeks off it was decided to try a greatly reduced dosage (50mg) every other day but even at that I had little to no quality of life.

I hope others have had better luck than I did."


"I was prescribed this with protonix after having intense pain from gastritis. I can't really tell if it's helping. My doctor said the stomach lining is something that takes a while to heal so I guess I will just have to wait and see. I am going back 2 weeks after starting carafate. My stomach hasn't had any major flare ups but some days it definitely hurts and I think I'm having some intense back pain because of the carafate. I've been trying not to take too much advil but I can't even sleep because of the back pain."


"I am currently a junior in high school on concerta going onto 4 years with it and I can honestly say it does work very well. It helps me focus a lot and you can see the results inflicted on my academics and how good they got. But the side effects are the down fall of course. I get insomnia and I lose my appetite completely for a whole day. And on top of that I feel emotionless, like a robot that all it wants to do is study and focus. It takes a toll on social life, but I guess that's the price we all have to go through when taking medications."


"So this was honestly the best medicine I ever went on for my depression, BUT it made me gain 60lbs in a matter of 2 or 3 months. And I have always been small my entire life. Didn't change any habits either when I was on this. I've been off this medication for about a year now and haven't lost a pound of the weight I gained because of it, despite working extremely hard. It really sucks because this medicine made me feel great, until I became really overweight. Now I'm too self conscious and depressed about myself that I don't even go in public unless I absolutely have to."


"This drug has been very helpful for my pulled muscles, since I am allergic to aspirin, motrin, naproxen and all other drugs like that. At least there is something I can take, thank you!"


"This medicine saved my social life. I suffered so badly with panic attacks, I wouldn't even leave my house this medication has an instant effect. I don't get any panic attacks now and feel I can live my life normally. Few side effects like dry mouth and decreased sex drive but that is a small price to pay for the wonders this medicine done for my life."


"I have had this IUD for about 9 months, and I want to give it a good review, but I can't. At first I absolutely loved it. I have always had really painful periods, and within the first 2 months my period basically stopped. I've only had 2 very light ones since. I haven't had any pain from it, no changes to my sex drive, and I don't have to think about it.

But...

After I had my son I was 10lbs LESS than my pre-preg weight, but after I had the Mirena put in I gained those 10lbs back, and have been battling to keep it at just 10. On top of that I've had acne like never before in my life, and have recurring yeast infections (which I almost never got before).

It took me a while to put it all together, but I've decided that I need to get it out."


"I along with everyone else that has written a review have to say this is the WORST tasting pill ever. It starts to dissolve the second it hits your mouth, the best way that I have found to swallow it is to use milk, if you use water it leaves the taste in your mouth. As far as side effects go, right now my body aches and my throat feels raw and dry. I do however think this is a small price to pay for something that does seem to be doing what it is supposed to do. I have a day and a half left to go and haven't had any signs of the infection since day two."


"I was taking Imuran back in 2012 for Crohn's Disease. I switched to Remicade and was doing well until the 6th infusion when I contracted Drug Induced Lupos. After a short time with Prednisone I went back on Imuran. After 3 years I seem to be doing well (no flare-ups), etc. I do have a lot of trouble with my skin. I don't know if the Imuran has anything to do with that or not."


"I have been on the pill for probably the past 3 years and I started with regular Loestrin and I had the worst symptoms nausea, mood swings and irregular spotting. My doctor then switched me to Lo Loestrin and I've been on it for the past year and a half. I love it! No acne, light or no period, absolutely no cramps, minimal cramps, no nausea. It worked great! The only thing is that its 50 for one month but my insurance lets me gets three months for 60."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I have been using Nuvigil for 4 days now.  I have horrible headaches!  My eyes ache and feel like someone is pushing in on them and I want to close them and feel very tired, but not sleepy.  I am irritable, but I think that is because I feel so horrible.  My Doctor prescribed 150mg and said to cut them in half.  I think I will try taking 1/4 of a tablet and see what happens.  I am not sure if I can handle much more.  I can't focus at work by late afternoon because my head hurts and my eyes are aching. Ibuprofen and Tylenol don't seem to help."


"I am 43 years old & was diagnosed with ADD at age 24. I have taken a variety of drugs to treat the ADD, but with no success. Started taking Wellbutrin 300mg 5 years ago & will take it till the day I die. Life changing. More focussed, clear headed, juggling less thoughts simultaniously, less stressed, no more mood swings, feel I have more control over my life, etc. When I started taking it, I had terrible side-effects, insomnia being the worst. But I stuck it out & only at 6 weeks felt the difference. Will highly recommend for ADD!"


"I got a 3 months of a free sample. But, I only used 1 month. The first week was great. Then I started the second week and started spotting. I spotted every day till about the end of the pack. My moods were terrible. By the third week I was arguing with my boyfriend which felt like constantly. He told me it was like I was on my period mood wise that whole month. I'm not taking it anymore."


"I recently went through a medical detox from heroin and after 6 days when my vitals showed I was opiate free I was administered the Vivitrol shot which is pretty deep and painful in itself.  I experienced terrible symptoms like upset stomach, diarrhea, severe restlessness, muscle cramps and twitches, nausea, chills, fever, enlarged pupils, lazy eye, extreme irritableness, high anxiety, rapid heart rate, shakiness, and sleeplessness plus the sight where the shot was administered ached like an epidural. I ended up in the emergency room with an adverse reaction. I feel like death and can barely focus on my actual detox and life.  Next month when this shot is hopefully out of my system I will not get it again! At least I'm off heroin!"


"So I have been struggling with heartburn Prilosec was working sometime but not all the time. Dr prescribed me dexilant! Took it for the first time yesterday. Only been one day I know but I truly think this is the devil drug. Heartburn was gone BUT the side effects are worse. Terrible stomach cramps all night and woke up with diaherra. Couldn't even go to work.  Will not take no more of this.  I only got it for $20 bc of coupon."


"I'm gonna keep it short and sweet; I've been on about a week, taking it to help with PMS. No initial symptoms other than slight increase in random emotional upheaval.
After about 3 days, exhaustion kicked in along with unnecessary bursts of anger, frustration or sadness.
4-6 days, mass fatigue, appalling headaches (I promise you, I'm not exaggerating!) crazy outbreaks of spots, nausea and lightheadedness.
I'm going to stick it through for at least another week and will update. I would obviously prefer to follow through see if it settles down but I have rather a lot to do in the next few months and would rather not be impeded by my hormones.
Good luck! It's worth a try- you can always take it out if it disagrees with you.
-Alex Sterling"


"I found this form if birth control to be effective and extremely helpful for the busy individual who (despite best intentions of setting alarms and reminders) just may be too busy to remember to take a pill every day or go to the doctor for a monthly shot.

The first four months I did experience varied mood swings and my anxiety rose a bit. Additionally, the first six months my bleeding was at random. Neither the mood swings or the bleeding/spotting was uncontrollable or over the top, however. These two side effects were warranted and expected and with the partnership of my doctor, I stayed the course of allowing my body the time to get used to this little white implant.

Overall, wonderful. Very satisfied."


"This is the only medicine which helps with my osteoarthritis pain."


"Finacea has worked wonders on my skin! As prescribed by my dermatologist, I use it once a day at night, after I wash my face and before I moisturize. I only need a pea-size amount of cover my whole face. In addition, I put on Acezone in morning (after washing and before moisturizing), and take a Doxycycline pill around dinner time, once a day. This combination of products has been a miracle! I went from having absolutely awful acne (so bad that I avoided going places for I was ashamed of my face) to clear skin in about 5 months! I didn't think it was possible that I could have clear skin. After countless drug store and beauty store products and prescribed creams such as Epiduo (which was awful), I have finally found my solution!"


"I started using this drug 6 weeks ago, weighing in at 248 lbs. It has changed my appetite slightly and have been working out daily. To date I am at 225 lbs. I'm so excited about this, but am trying to find ways to keep this pattern going. I don't want to stop here. I have 65 lbs left to go. I know I can do it, just trying to find out why for the past couple of days I have not lost any weight. I love this medicine and can't wait until I'm at my goal weight. Clothes are fitting great. Wearing clothes I haven't worn in years, now I'm trying to get down to my high school days or at least the beginning of College. Congrats to all that are continuing to do this. Keep it up! Good job!"


"I had it inserted a week ago. It was uncomfortable but not painful and it was a quick procedure. The doctor said to expect cramps. I have them, they are to the point they keep me awake at night. I'm hoping they go away soon or I may have to ask for a prescription for pain. I'm glad I don't have to take the pill anymore though."


"I have been on Trileptal for a little over a year. I was taking 1200mg/day. On the flipside, the symptoms of dizziness and double vision I had about an hour after I took the medicine I just dealt with because the medicine worked so great in stabilizing my moods. These two side effects never lessened.  I am Bipolar 1 with one major depressive episode. I also take Welbutrin. I am being taken off the medicine slowly due to acute hyponatremia which hospitalized me for 3 days. I took Tegretol prior to the Trileptal. I loved the Tegretol but wanted to change because there were less potential side effects with the Trileptal which is now very ironic. I will be starting Lamictal when the Trileptal is completely out of my system."


"In UK. Began getting redness and flaky skin on my face a few years back. Tried all the topical steroids which just had no effect. It came and went, each time coming back affecting a new part of the face. Saw a dermatologist, he subscribed Elidel... I haven't looked back. A tube costs about "


"This is my second week on it and I feel great. My doctor put me on this because I had 5 periods in two months and heavy, heavy periods. I'm hoping this won't be the case any longer. We'll wait and see. Wish me luck."


"This medication worked wonders when I had my hip scope back in May. I only took pain pills to sleep, but when I went to shower and sat down after taking my pills I was so nauseous and took zofran and it worked within 5 minutes!
I actually used it for a hangover once and still worked amazingly! Haha "


"Diamox put me in remission after about six months, but it began to cause tinnitus and hearing problems. My hearing is fine now, but I cannot take Diamox again if my PTC returns. Just something to keep in mind. Tinnitus and hearing issues are considered rare side effects, but they can happen."


"First I want to advise others that Deplin is an adjunct to your antidepressant, not an antidepressant. I am on day 4, and already feel more clarity, better mood, and more energy.

I have Narcoplesy, untreated due to allergic to meds for this condition. So, greater energy and more awake so great.

 In addition, I have been battling severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Gastritis and severe upper gastric pain for 10 months.  Most days I have been unable to eat other than breakfast. The evening of my first day of Deplin, greatly reduced my irritable bowel issues, and since then little to no pain. I had a ham and cheese sub yesterday. It is like a miracle.

Good luck to those prescribed this medication."


"I've had nexplonon for a year and I'm honestly not a fan I have horrible mood swings sex drive is extremely low. Also the weight gain is horrible I went from 137 to 160 in a year and I work out everyday eat healthy nothing will make it go down.  I get a migraine every week. My two friends that were on it gained lots of weight and people who have gone off lost weight in no time. It does prevent pregnancy and I have not got my period but side effects are not worth it"


"Epi-ceram cream is amazing for eczema! The same day I applied the cream I noticed and felt a difference within a few hours. Two days later the eczema on my eye lids and around my mouth were clear. I use the cream sparingly and it works better than ANY other prescription. My insurance didn't cover it but I'm so glad I took a chance and paid for it. It was well worth the $$. Hopefully it will soon be available over the counter!"


"Been taking 10mg amlodipine for several years with no major side effects. Occasional ankle swelling and dizziness if I stand up too quickly but worth it for the improvement in my Raynauds."


"I have had ulcerative colitis for 16 years and I am 31 years old. I can tell you that I've been on pretty much every drug out there to control it. Asacol has been the only drug that I can take without getting any horrible side effects and keep my illness under control. It was even safe throughout my pregnancy. I do take anywhere from 8 to 12 pills a day, but it's so worth it."


"I began treatment April 27 and am almost done.  If I had known how severe the side effects would be I would have opted for another treatment.  I have had debilitating headaches, nausea, vomiting and extreme fatigue and can't get my blood pressure under control.  It has been dangerously high.  The doctors prescribe this medication and then are not equipped to help you with the side effects or have not done their homework and so you're on your own.  Too much to say for this text.  I would not recommend it."


"I've only been on the implant since July and its September now and I still have my period...my mood swings are off the wall and worst of all my boobs and behind have both gotten smaller..the thing that worries me the most is I weigh the same but I feel so different. My emotions are controlling my life it seems. I don't know whether to tough it out because I'm not pregnant and that's working well for me or figure something else out...I've also had two experiences of chest/ arm/ back pain and random fevers...doctors don't help me....idk what to do. I think it's a good thing if you don't want kids right now but is it worth messing with your emotions and life.."


"Anxiety,  tremors,  dry mouth."


"Amazing results! Worked much better than Viagra with only the mildest flushing of the skin as compared to the headache and blue vision with Viagra."


"I have been using Metformin for 3 months to aggressively treat my pre-diabetic condition.  Together with a lower-carb (185-200 mg per day/1700 calories) I have lost 29 pounds.  This  is about double the weight loss rate I had on the diet alone.  The only side effect I have experienced is a loose stool once or twice a week.  Definitely a good trade-off! I am a 49 year old female, moderately active who has had a hysterectomy."


"This pill has been better than the last 2 brands I tried. I was on Tri-Sprintec for about a year, which I don't know why I put up with it that long. I wanted to throw up all the time! Second I was on Tri-Previfem which is also supposed to be the same pill, that one was even worse. It left a terrible taste in my mouth and made me gain weight, had even worse nausea and worst of all I acted like a monster! I was so irritated with everything. My doctor decided to have me try TriNessa, which all three of these pills are same as Ortho Tri-Cyclen. This time though, it actually worked. I feel back to myself again. I have been on it about a year. I have had a little weight gain and sometimes slight headaches. But overall I like it."


"Severe anxiety to the extent I could not sleep at night, coupled with depression probably brought on by the lack of sleep.  I have been taking lexapro for 2 weeks now and it has already working.  I now sleep a solid 7 hrs, and I feel improvement with my anxiety and depression every day. I cannot recommend lexapro enough - fantastic. Side effects lasted for approx 9 days, these included very dry throat, headaches , vivid dreams and extreme hunger. Side effects have almost all subsided and I'm feeling great"


"Started taking this birth control at 16 and have taken it for a year now. The first three months were horrible, I had mood swings where I would start crying randomly, most of the time because I would take it at 7 pm and around 9 pm would begin feeling sharp cramps in my stomach that were unbearable, it was so hard to continue taking them at work knowing I would be in pain from them. However after three months I stopped having pain. Before the pill I had terrible cramps on my period but since Alesse my cramps are much milder. My mood swings have calmed down and I am not affected at all! A good thing to keep in mind is Alesse is a mild birth control (less hormones than others) so you can still take other medications. I love it, good choice!"


"The $5 extra for this shot was well spent.  The injection was virtually painless and my arm was not as sore as it usually is after a flu shot.  I will definitely get this again next year!"


"For a little over a year I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe. It's great, after the first month no more cyst symptoms, my period which has been heavy (Super tampon had to be changed every 2 hours or flooding would occur) is now down to extreme lite spotting on the last 2 pills only. It's great, I love it. No more tampons or the resulting cramping. I do not have any period symptoms at all now except a hair trigger temper on the last 2 pills (which coincides with my weekend, so I let my family know not to bother me). After a year this has calmed down though to where its almost not noticeable anymore. There are so many pros to this medicine that having a bad temper for 2 days a month is definitely worth it. But it is expensive."


"I have been taking Sprintec for over 3 years now for severe bleeding and pain during menstruation.

Sprintec has helped lessen the bleeding and pain during menstruation, however the build up of this drug in my body has slowly caused so many side effects in which have severely hindered my quality of life.

The following are side effects that I have experienced while on Sprintec:

1. Daily Nausea

2. Worsening of Chronic Migraines and Daily Headaches

3. Severe Dizziness / Light-headed

4. Visual Changes (Blurred Vision)

5. Acne so bad that I had to be treated for infections of my hair follicles

6. Worsened Depression

Again, these severe side effects took years to occur."


"I felt much better after just two days."


"This medicine saved my life."


"So I was prescribed Duac on Monday 11th by my doctor after trying 3 different types of treatment which didn't really work!
I know it's early days but I have seen slight improvement already!!!
I have had no side effects at all, no burning sensation, no flaking skin, doesn't make my makeup go cakey either!
Absolute love this so far!!"


"I am on day 7, My husband and I are on it together. He smokes two packs a day I smoke just under one.
We are having trouble falling and staying asleep at night, hope this will stop.
Thinking about maybe taking the 2nd pill earlier maybe around dinner. The nausea is bad for the both of us, but is worth every side effect if it means we will be non-smokers.
The Phentermine helps me with the energy in the morning and hopefully I won't gain weight. The only odd thing I am finding is that I have to eat good because when I try to eat junk food or fast food I get sick. Hoping it gets better."


"I have had mod acne since I was 12.  I have tried all over the counter stuff and oral antibiotics.  Nothing ever worked well.  After a month on adapalene I have noticed a nice difference in my skin.  I have had very mild flaking, but no burning on the .01%.  So far I have not had a huge breakout from it as some have reported.  My skin looks the best it has in years.  I hope it stays this way.  Some of the scarring has improved, but not gone completely.  So far love this product and wish I had tried it sooner.  I was terrified after some of the reviews I read.  My co worker recommended I used it on one cheek for awhile to see how my skin reacted.  Might be a good way to start for some."


"I have the stomach virus. It hit me around 10 this morning but I didn't start vomiting until 2. Zofran has somewhat helped. But I'm still so weak & sick. The thought of food makes me sick."


"Great product.  Stopped my mouth sores.  Still take it!"


"Had to get off of this. I still work and could not get past the "brain fog" and severe joint pain."


"Works for congestion & allergy symptoms but gave me terrible insomnia and jitters. "


"Only drug that has truly worked for me.  I have a very large hiatal hernia, as well as severe acid reflux.  I never slept through an entire night for years, until I started taking Kapidex."


"I went to see my Dr about restless legs at night which is quite painful. She prescribed 25mg at night before bed. It's was working well..no pain. However I fell over a couple of times which I thought was odd but didn't set any alarms off. I began to feel stiff and unable to bend over to pick things up. I was afraid I would hurt myself. Not realizing this was the drug. I figured this is what happens when you are close to 50. The worst side effect was the weight gain. I was on the drug for 3.5 months and gained 30 lbs.  Once again I figured it was because I was getting older. So the drug certainly helped my leg pain...but altered my body to look like the pilsner dough girl."


"I am a nineteen year old female who has suffered with mild acne since I was about 10. I tried every cream, pill, and face wash you can imagine throughout the years and nothing completely got rid of my acne. When I was 18 my doctor recommended I try Accutane. I did a 6 month course of 10 mg a day and I can honestly say it changed my life. I would recommend to anyone who struggles with persistent acne. Before taking Accutane acne controlled my life. I would stay home just because of bad breakouts. Now my skin is flawless and I only get the occasional pimple which I can now deal with. Yes, I was dry when I was on Accutane but the end result is SO worth the 6 months of mild dryness!"


"I have tried zoloft and cymbalta. All equally effective in my anxiety level but I find effexor has been the best. While I still don't have a ton of energy, I was a zombie on the other two. My libido is back to normal and I'm not hungry 24/7. Zoloft would be my second choice, except I needed to nap everyday and I was always hungry. Cymbalta was very difficult to get off of and I was also very tired. Negative effects of effexor include  insomnia - i have urges where i HAVE to get up- but usually melatonin and reading, and NO electronics before bed help that (or xanax as needed.) I also sweat a lot more on it. But having more energy and more libido make it worth it. I have to take a beta blocker because I speak infront of people."


"I was getting frustrated with doing a lot of exercising and eating right but not losing weight. Diabetes runs in my family. I decided to make one last attempt at asking my endocrinologist for something to help. As I had asked a few Drs before but they would say, say exercise and cut your calories. Anyhow I got given the Saxenda, I had some mild nausea in the beginning. I've lost 13 pound in 1 month. I still exercise and eat healthy. However, I did not exercise much 1 week, only 3 times and still lost weight. For me it worked great. Suppressed my appetite, a little tiredness . But worth it. Now I'm just worried about maintaining my weight loss. That's the hardest part. Will have to talk to Dr. About it when I get there."


""Absolutely" amazing. 10 out of 10. Only mild headache as a side effect for approximately 4-5 hours. But this medicine is a miracle. I took 100 mg as a dose like 45 minutes before intercourse and it did wonders. We made love 6 times non-stop and I think we could continue. Saved my whole relationship. Owe that to Pfizer."


"I have Behcet's, Castleman, fibromyalga, osteoporosis, degenerative disc disease. All equals severe pain. I tried everything. I now take Opana 30 ER 4 times a day and Norco 10/325 8 times a day for breakthrough pain. Before the Opana I wanted to die to get away from the pain. I couldn't play with my 4 kids. All they heard was not right now mommy hurts. Now I have my pain under control and I can live my life and play with my kids."


"FAINTING SPELL. About 30 minutes after taking this, for about 15 minutes my heart would race (~135bpm?), and I would feel as if I were about to FAINT (head rush?). I would spend 15 minutes trying to remain calm, fighting the urge to collapse. I tried it twice and had the same response. Thank goodness I wasn't driving when it kicked in. My wife had a similar reaction. Seriously, please be cautious when first trying this medication."


"This drug is expensive. Patients on Medicare D, can soon find themselves in the donut hole, thus causing added problems for many. (not if money is no object) . There is not enough information out on this drug's ability to prolong life.Doctor mentions very few side effects. Main ones were, Low BP,  angioedema, high potassium/kidney damage.  I bring up more side effects, he does not agree...yet Drugs.com list side effects that I am having with this med. Back pain/side pain. I have had difficulty walking due to these pains and resort to a walker.   Heart Failure caused by poor stent placement in LAD. )-:  My EF is sliding downwards from 40-45% to recent echo of 30-35%. I thought this med was the answer to HF.  Needing more solid info."


"Honestly I haven't had a problem with this birth control other than irregular bleeding and prolonged bleeding.  I haven't had any other side effects (headaches, acne, etc.) except for a little bit of weight gain but I can use it because I'm already really skinny.  I have had a great experience with this birth control except for the bleeding."


"I rated Linzess a 9 because it works, but it is STILL a drug, with unknown long term effects.  I have decided to take that risk for quality-of-life reasons.  I have been on it for 18  months (145mg once a day), and it works very well for me.  I got headaches at first, but that subsided.  I gained 5 pounds, but that may be due to other factors.  I used to take Aloe 450 capsules twice a day - DON'T DO IT.  That resulted in the worse case of melanosis coli my Gastro has ever seen; time will tell if it is reversable.  I had severe constipation and crippling gas pain for 30  years before diagnosis of IBS.  With Linzess, I have normal BMs 80% of the time (diarrhea 10% and constipation the other 10%).  Gas pains are rare (usually when stressed)."


"I got Skyla around August 2016- during insertion the pain felt like really bad cramping, my eyes did water near the end (I took a good amount of Ibuprofen) and I had SEVERE cramping/shooting paints after mostly on my left side. It was so bad I went to the Dr to make sure it was done correctly/didn't move. They gave me a higher dose of medicine and I went home to my heating pad. Since then I've gone back twice because of the string - got it shortened after an incident & then again since it was still causing problems. I'm not completely period free- random spotting, seems like I have random PMS, and cramping but different than my usual cramps. Biggest issue is the string still. Not 100% comfortable with Skyla, however I could live with it."


"After 3 1/2 months of using Limbrel I became vilolently ill. I had extreme nausea, vomiting, feverish, chills, achy. My primary doctor ran blood work and it came back that I was anemic with liver problems. After 15 days of feeling like I had food poisoning, I searched online and found that there were dozens of people with the same symptoms and some even went to the hospital.

I stopped taking the Limbrel right away and started feeling better within 48 hrs. After 7-8 days I was back to 100%."


"Age 66. I had Stage IIA breast cancer, two tumors in the right breast, hormone receptive. I had a double mastectomy and seven lymph nodes removed (clear, thank God!). I dodged the Chemo bullet, but the side effects from the Anastrazole are terrible. Brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, severe hot flashes and now such joint pain and tendonitis of the hamstring that I walk with a limp. Got a cortisone shot ten days ago. Seemed to help some, but the pain came back with a vengeance after a week. I can hardly drive, which is required for my job (hospice chaplain). I have to work. Oncologist advised today that I go off for a week to see if the leg pain improves.  If it goes away after not taking it for a week, I'll have difficult decisions to make."


"I switched to Portia 12 days ago when I started spotting from another birth control (Alesse). I just wanted to say I started taking Portia on Tuesday and have been crying for consecutive days from Friday to Tuesday out of no where. I have also found it very hard to get studying and made me a much lazier person. I will be discontinuing this birth control today because my mood swings were affecting me too much."


"I am extremely obese. My starting weight when I started taking Topamax was 289.0 lbs. I weighed myself every few days. I started for one week taking 25 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening. Now I take 50mg in the morning and 50 in the evening.  Im also eating right veggies and fruits and snacks.  This medication is making me lose at least 13 lbs since Jan. 5, 15 and today I'm 276.0 and its Jan. 19, 2015.  in that short amount of time that's a good amount of weight to drop.  So thank you Topamax!"


"I had the nexplanon in my arm for the whole 3 years. It has been an emotional roller coaster for me. The worst side effects for me were the hormonal changes! I was very mean and bitchy to everyone. People around me definitely noticed the changes. My periods were HEAVY & lasted a full 7 days if not longer. I would have to use tampons & pads together. I would go through a whole box each month. It made me gain weight & no matter how clean I ate or how hard I worked out the weight would not go away. I also suffered from depression & slight acne. Ladies PLEASE pay attention to your bodies when getting this birth control. It has been a rough 3 years but since my removal I have felt so much better!"


"I have had a great experience with this implant.  Getting the rod inserted was not bad, getting the numbing shot was the worst part.  It felt like an intense bee sting.  In the first month I would spot off and on, but it was never anything really heavy.  I do still get a period every month, however they are getting shorter and lighter.  My last period only lasted 2 days.
I have also struggled with acne since my early teens (I'm now 23), and my skin has never looked better. I think it is important to remember that everyone's body is different.  No 2 of us are the same.  This implant will affect everyone in different ways and there is no way for your doctor to know how your body will react to the implant."


"I give this a 5 because it does prevent pregnancy, yet so did my pill. Switched because I wanted something I didn't have to remember to take. Been on this for a year now the first 5 months were alright. But the last 7 months I've noticed my period is heavy and gets me light headed. I have more migraines which I never experienced before Implanon. Sex drive is way down, bad mood swings, and constantly tired. Before Implanon I was extremely healthy, now I feel like crap almost every day. Getting removed once insurance starts up."


"I have chronic sinus infections, over the last 20 years I have tried everything including surgery, allergy shots, and many different types of antibiotics.  Since I am allergic to Penicillin I have limited chocies, but think I have tried them all.  Biaxin is the only thing that works for me."


"I've had a bad reaction to this on and off  for over a year now. I've had a radical hysterectomy so I get YI more often. It's weird because one time it will make the itching unbearable but the next time I try it, it will burn like wildfire instead.....and it's not because I've made myself raw from scratching.....it's inside and out and feels more like a chemical burn. Have tried name brand and generic with same result. I thought it must be that my body chemistry had changed so I was having an allergic reaction until I researched. I'm just not going to be able to use it any longer, unfortunately. Doctor is giving a 1x dose of Diflucan...took it last night and already feel better!"


"I have been on Nuvaring since I was 15, now I am 24 and I've only been on Nuvaring. I've enjoyed this product BUT I can say it has changed my mood and I have no sex drive. I've been with my boyfriend for 8 years and I just get angry at him for no reason. For years I thought I was mentally ill but I have finally realized it's my Nuvaring. Most people post on here have recently started using it, of almost 10 years of using this I can say it's a love/hate relationship.
Pros: It does its job!
Cons: Mood swings, headaches, and no sex drive.

I am looking into nexplanon, but scared to turn out into a crazed fiend and put more strain on my relationship. I've been irregular all my life so I don't know with a new bc."


"I have the Implanon 3 years in January 2012. I had my period for 5 months after I got it in, now I get them every month and a half for 2 weeks but they are not really heavy. I put on 3 stone, I'm depressed, I always get mood-swings, I cry for nothing sometimes. I have a very low sex drive and I'm only 20. The only reason I have kept it is because I don't have to worry about getting pregnant as when I was on the pill. I always forgot to take it. I'm thinking of getting it out but don't want to go back on the pill. Everyone is different though, I know a girl who has the Implanon and she gets no periods and never puts on weight and gets no mood swings and has a good sex drive! "


"I started taking this after resisting medication for acute depression. I'm going through a life changing situation that won't last forever so I am hoping my time on this med will be limited to just a year. This is day 3 of 10mg. My only complaint is that I seem to have to poo constantly (not diarrhea). I'm worried about the libido issue and not enough time has passed for me to know if it'll become a problem. I seem to take longer to fall asleep and feel that I'm sleeping much lighter than before. Every little sound or movement from my husband wakes me. Other than that it's been positive. Yesterday I was actually a little bit giddy. I haven't been like that in over a year. It felt nice."


"Anytime I have to take strong antibiotics I generally get a YI. I usually just do the 3 day treatment and opted to try 1 day just to see. *Sigh* Shortly after insertion, there was intense itching as I tried to go to sleep. The next day I pushed out the remainder of the application, or so I thought. I spent the next day wiping and burning. No bueno. I'll just stick to 3 days."


"After going through another 23 drugs in the past six years, Saphris seems to be the one medicine that helps. I took the chance of taking this medication without Cogentin to see what the side effects would be and what I experienced was some restlessness in feeling that I needed to pace the floor as well as agitation. Taking this medication with Cogentin has rid the restlessness entirely. Saphris has calmed some of my mood swings and response to negativity from others. As for the schizophrenic side, it has kept the paranoia at bay."


"Medicine does not work at all. I have to have trigger point injections to relax my muscles at least 1 x a week - not fun. 50 injections and still have to take Flexeril 3 x a day."


"Overall this drug does help me sleep. My only problem with Sonata is that I wake up feeling groggy and somewhat like I have a "hangover". I feel that it also lost it's effectivness the longer I have been on it. I do however, like that it lasts for a 4 hour window of time versus the traditional 8 hour."


"I come from a family where everyone has terrible migraines. When I started getting them at age 21, I resorted to taking loads of Tylenol with Pesudophedrine to "mask" the pain, which took a heavy toll on my liver.  Someone suggested that I look into the Triptan family of migraine medication. After going through a few different ones, I found Imitrex to be an absolute life-saver.  Whenever I feel one coming, I take 50mg and the migraine usually disappears within 30 minutes. If I wait a few hours to take it, the response time could be more like 90 minutes. With 10-15 migraines a month, Imitrex is essentially the only thing that allows me to function. I have not seen any real side effects."


"This is my first time taking this medicine. I was diagnosed with bronchitis and ear infection. I was told to take probiotics to prevent any diarrhea. I have not had any side effects. I'm feeling much better."


"I have been great the last few months on synthroid until 2 weeks ago, started having chest pain, I can't take a breath, pulse is so low I can't find it."


"I started Aviane 2 months ago. My 1st month in my third week, I started cramping. I started spotting the day before my placebo pill, which was followed by extremely agonizing pain in my stomach & pelvic. Nothing helped take the pain away (heating pad, Pamprin, Percocet, peppermint tea, hot bath, stretching, etc.). For 3 days I had spotting, and then it was like the flood gates opened on the 4th day. Every hour I was changing a super tampon & pad because the bleeding was that bad, still with the horrible pain.

My period this month is now doing the same thing with the horrible pain. My doctor is switching my pills so hopefully I don't experience this pain again. Its truly the worst pain I have ever felt in my life!"


"I used minoxidile to grow a beard , I mean I had no real  beard before . It took me long but I had it . It was magic but a longtime waiting and using minuxidile is a bit troublesome ."


"I am one and done on this medication.  I was at work and got so sick I had to leave and I felt as if I was having the world's worst hangover all day and into the night. It is totally not worth feeling so horrible. Even today as I write this, my stomach is still upset and I don't feel back to normal. All I can say is Contrave is one very powerful medication and I definitely experienced severe side effects.  I am going the old fashioned route for my weight loss and chock this up to live and learn.  There are no shortcuts in life."


"I had Implanon put in March 2010.  No problems in the beginning; still had my period only lighter, with some spotting.  Now I've been spotting for the past 3 weeks and all I want to do it eat.  My breasts are tender and swollen.  Sex drive - not there.  I'm really considering having the Implanon removed and just rely on condoms.  Unfortunately I can't take the pill because it has estrogen and I've had a history of a blood clots after a knee surgery."


"I switched to Klonopin from Xanax and Doxepin because Klonopin is not addictive and had no side effect.  Could not drive for months my new car, but when Klonopin was added to Zoloft I was able to drive and deal with every day routine as a normal person."


"This medicine is amazing. It gave me my life back. Until I started taking Pristiq I was on numerous different medications, none of which worked and the last one I took Remeron made me feel extremely suicidal. I have found that I have no side effects with Pristiq and I am so thankful to have found this medicine."


"My son was had a myriad of diagnosis since he was 3 years old - by the time he was 20 he had been hospitalized numerous times, attempted suicide 4 times, and was uncontrollable.  He had been on 19 different medicines over the course of this time with no reprieve.  His doctor decided to try Clozaril as a last case alternative - I don't even know what to say, within two weeks his anger diminished, with three his personality started to emerge -the medicine completely changed his life.  It was like nothing I had ever seen before.  He literally transformed with 6 weeks from a boy who couldn't exist in society, could manage his behaviors or aggression and was completely out of touch with reality into a son I had never seen before.  He now works full time.  "


"I've had Nexplanon about 10 months and I've bleed all of the 10 months. My face is horribly broke out my chest and back have little bit of acne, I get moody, tired, achy and cramps bad. It works as I have not gotten pregnant but I have all these terrible side effects, sometimes my arm hurts where the rod is. "


"I'm 66.  Started Nabumetone about 4 years ago. Orginally prescribed a Cox-2 inhibitor, have high Blood pressure, the cox-2 experience was VERY BAD.  Then tried Nabumetone 750mg, was prescribed 2 daily.  Was acceptable to my Blood Pressure. After reviewing side effects decided to take 1 daily except when pain level is real bad, then take 2 for several days then go back to 1 daily.

I'm pleased with Nabumetone and my self-medication technique.  "


"I took Myrbetriq for 4 months for treatment of severe overactive bladder.  It helped me only slightly and the side effects for me would have caused me to stop taking it even if it had been 100% helpful.  It immediately spiked my blood pressure to an average of 180/110 and my blood pressure returned to normal as soon as I stopped taking it.  It also caused me bladder pain which I can best describe as feeling like my bladder was filled with shards of broken glass whenever my bladder got full.  I also had difficulty emptying my bladder.  I wanted this to work but unfortunately it did not for me."


"Viibryd worked wonders for me.  I have to admit the first week was hell as it made me extremely anxious but after the transition I couldn't believe the difference it made.  The only problem I ran into was insurance companies don't want to pay for  it because it is expensive. I ended up having to switch to another drug that was not nearly as effective.  I'm thinking about going back on Viibryd and paying for it out of pocket.  I just have to ask myself what is happiness worth??"


"I've had a poor experience with this birth control.  At first it made me super emotional.  Then I started to notice extreme breast growth.  I was already large breasted.  Over the last year I went from a D to a G and am horribly uncomfortable.  I've also gained 20 pounds for no apparent reason and basically stopped having periods.  I will be asking for a new birth control method next time I see my obgyn."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Taken exactly as instructed. Not effective at all. Procedure rescheduled."


"Was suddenly hit with debilitating pain in lower abdomen, back and pain under ribs on left. Was pain free at 5 pm. By 5:10 pm I was nearly screaming out from the pain. My husband took me to the ER. Was seen immediately by ER doctor and he ordered a CT scan and an IV was started. He was pretty sure I had a kidney stone which turned out to be shown on the CT. When I returned from getting the CT they gave me a large dose of IV morphine. It did absolutely nothing for my pain. A nurse kept telling me to "just relax and enjoy the morphine effects". When doctor came back and saw I was still in severe pain he told me that he was going to order an IV injection of Toradol. I didn't expect any relief but it was almost instant relief."


"My sugar levels were in the 250-300 constantly.. now they are below 130 it's great.. there's risks with this medication being new.. but it's working wonders.. was on metformin 1000mg twice a day and Glipizide twice a day now.. just metformin and Glipzide once a day.. I am very happy. Feel a lot better.. no side effects so far.. was going to get insulin if Invokana didn't lower my sugar levels.. so lucky to have gotten it prescribed to me.."


"I was born with a thyroid condition. I am 23 year old female. I did the other brand for a while, and made me tired, sad, and just made me feel hopeless. I am on Synthroid 88mcg and although I sometimes feel sad, my weight is maintained, I'm able to work, and play with my 1 year old daughter, who thank God is healthy. Finding the right dosage is so important and is a trial and error. If everything is good and you only have one symptom like sadness...get a hobby, again a close friend is so important and always take your pill!"


"Paxil, not the generic brand is the only antidepressant that's ever worked the best. I have tried dozens of antidepressant's since I lost my husband in an auto accident that we both were in 10 years ago. "


"I love seeing the 1 ⭐ Ratings and reading about how the used the product incorrectly and blame the company for that. It says on the pamphlet to avoid UV's. You can't just blob it on and then go to the beach, it literally says not to do that. If it burns your face your using it more then once a day or your using it to much. Before you use a product as strong as this, please educate yourself on how to use it properly. This product will start to show results for most within a couple days if you just you a light coat once a day, at the same time, everyday. Be sure to read the box, it has a list of products that aren't compatible with this gel and make sure not to use those on your face or else it will burn worse then scolding water on your face."


"Onexton is absolutely amazing! Have been using now for about 3-4 months. I apply it every night after removing my make up and washing my face thoroughly with CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. I was worried about facial skin peeling/redness that I experienced with other prescription topical medications that I had tried in the past for acne (Ex. tretinoin, benzaclin, etc.) I have not had any redness or peeling since starting Onexton. My face is pretty much clear (exceptionally noticeable difference compared to 4 months ago). I also take Spironolactone 100mg daily for acne which was started at the same time as the Onexton. For the first time in YEARS, my face is mostly clear without any redness or peeling. $0 copay with savings card!"


"My blood sugars had been somewhat erratic, so my doctor suggested switching me from Lantus to Toujeo.  The only benefit I've found with Toujeo is the ease with which the insulin injects (my Lantus pens took more effort to push).  My sugars are more consistent now, but they are consistently high.  I am hoping that this is just an adjustment period, but based upon the other negative reviews I've read, I don't think so.  I expect that I'll be switching back to Lantus."


"I have been on and off Zoloft (Lustral) for about 8 years.  My usual dose is 200mg but every time I try to come off them depression comes back with a vengeance.  I have severe treatment resistant depression and have had over 60 ECT treatments. Zoloft has been the only antidepressant which has helped me in any way and believe me I have been on them all. But as everyone is different I can't say it will necessarily be the one for you but in my experience of all the tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs and MAOI's, Zoloft has far outweighed the others.  As I'm here just thought I'd mention that I am also on a new antidepressant called Valdoxan which is very new and also very good. It is available in Europe but I'm not sure if its available in the United States yet. Good luck. "


"This drug works miraculously well for my social anxiety disorder, considerably alleviating a social anxiety condition caused by traumatic brain injury. Tried several other drugs and supplements before that were useless, but this one started working within days.

But the nausea side effects make it almost bad enough to quit. Taking it after eating, feel sick for 20-30 minutes. Taking it on an empty stomach, borderline to vomiting for 20-30 minutes.

An inadvertent but beneficial side-effect, it may improve cognition. A meta-analysis of clinical trials which assessed cognitive effects of depression treatments found that this drug improved psychomotor speed by 16% and delayed recall (memory assessment) by 24% (P<0.00001).

"


"I am a 36yo male with a high pressure career.  I exercise 5x a week, eat strictly organic foods, etc.  I had some issues concentrating during sex where I might lose my erection or not feel the desire when I should.  If I was alone and masturbating, no problem.  Hard as a rock.  Due to work stress, the ED then added to the stress. I went to the doctor and my issue was psychological ED.  After some trial with the dosage, I find that 15mg on a night that I know I'm going to have sex is a win.  Best erections I've ever had, if my mind wonders, the erection stays and I get focused again. Also, seems to have a little blood in penis at all times which helps with initial stimulation and bigger look all the time. Get a headache sometimes."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Superprep  actually cleaned my system out really well. But it's the worst tasting, I almost threw it up several times while drinking it. I had to keep a glass of water and drink it in between. I tried to chug it so it would be faster but that just made the gagging worse. I personally would never use this product again."


"Makes you go with 3-5 hours of diarrhea.  Also have severe cramps/abdominal pain.  May take this once in a while as it does clean the system.  Will not take daily due to severe pain about 10 hours after taking the pill"


"I have taken Lamictal for over two years now and I have noticed an extremely huge change in my outbursts of rage. I also take Paxil CR and these combined have helped me out a lot. A warning to those taking Paxil: DO NOT allow yourself to run out of medication."


"Prostate UTI asked not to be given Cipro as it can cause permanent tendon damage if you are doing repetitive movements. See CBC news article. They gave bactrim. It's a poor substitute. Dizzy, tired, dry eyes, damn slow working. On day 4 of 7 not much better. Cipro is the one of choice for prostate in my experience to work well but it has it's side effects too."


"Smoked daily for 15 years around a packet. I am now on my second week of quitting. It is terrible in the morning without the coffee and the cigarette.
I am using around 7 pieces of the gum daily, using the chew and park method.
It helps me really good, not thinking about smoking that much more on to chewing now.
It certainly helps to manage the cravings and the anger."


"I took Lexapro for almost 4 weeks and quit because it was pure hell. I tried to push through the side effects but they never went away.  Insomnia, couldn't eat, anxiety hit the roof, panic attacks every night, and crazy thoughts. Was not for me."


"Now it's around two weeks and I am promoted to 30mg from 15mg three days ago. My side effect still same, When I go to bed to sleep or try to sleep I immediately wake up due to panic or extreme anxiety and it looks like extreme dehydration or heart attack is going to happen. I fight with this for one to two hours in half sleep and half awake situation then go to sleep and wake up in the morning. Any one faced same problem or side effect. Doctor says its normal to have panic attack during first four weeks."


"Took this drug for 5 months for acid reflux at nighttime unknowingly acid splashed up in my throat giving me a continuous sore throat during the day. The side effects it caused was a major concern; i.e., reduces stomach acid up to 80% resulting in poor digestion and absorption especially B12 and Calcium.   I found that my stool was long and very fat, (uncommon for me and indicative of poor digestion/absorption). Another side effect was a very bad dry mouth AND, extremely dry hands --constantly wrinkled up --like when one sits in the bath tub for a couple hours. I stopped taking it and now take a couple of Tums before bedtime."


"I found this to be a safe and effective drug. I have chronic sinusitis. A 20 day course puts the sinusitis in remission. I also have small intestine bacterial overgrowth. While I was prescribed the medication for sinusitis, I found a spectacular improvement in my acute and chronic small intestinal bacterial overgrowth."


"A real savior. Finally getting some sleep. Went off for a month to see if I could sleep without it. The answer was no but no other withdrawal symptoms. Be sure to give yourself 8 hours and nix the alcohol."


"My eleven year old daughter gets sever hiccups as a side effect from chemotherapy. Although the last thing she needs is another drug in her body we turned to this after traditional tricks stopped working."


"I definitely noticed a difference while taking Strattera. The symptoms of my ADHD have improved indefinitely. I feel less withdrawn from reality, increased self esteem and better focus. The 25mgs gave me insomnia. With the 40mg I stopped noticing the benefits of Strattera and noticed more of the side effects (dizziness, hot flashes, etc). 60mg seemed to be the most effective for me. But after a week of taking the 60mg, I didn't go a day without nausea. The nausea was so bad that it practically cancelled out the benefits of Strattera. This is just what happened in my case. I would recommend this medication in hopes that the side effects aren't as bad for others."
