"Had severe bloody diarrhea for a couple months, went away for two years then came back worse. I was then diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. My Dr started me on 6 pills a day of Asacol. Within two weeks I was having completely normal bowel movements again with no pain. I then began decreasing my dosage (doctors orders) and now I am currently on 2 pills a day of 800g. My life is completely back to normal. The only side effect I have is slight dizziness during more stressful times. I have had a couple minor minor flares. I do miss my dosage once in a while but it never seems to affect me as long as I take my next dose. Would recommend Asacol in a heart beat!"


"A little history. This is the first birth control pill I have been on which is now a total of 4 months. The first month I spotted/bleed for two weeks straight. The second month I spotted for one week prior to my actual period. Third month no spotting but had a full blown period for 7 days - the whole last week of the pill pack. I definitely see myself being moodier since taking this pill but no aniexty or depression or acne. However one side effect is excessive weight gain. Since taking this pill I have gained 15 pounds and counting. I am considering a switch for this reason alone as I practice portion control which has kept my weight consistent for almost 2 years. Good to try but weight gain is a major con!"


"I have been doing hours and hours of research on finding a product or solution to my cystic acne. watched everyone stories on youtube. I have tried everything like most of you, spent "


"I have been using Advair for about 4 or 5 months. It has made a big difference in my life. I am not wheezing anymore or tight chested. My voice gets hoarse sometimes, not as bad as when I was on other medications."


"I started out with 50 mg and then went to 70mg.  My blood pressure skyrocketed and I have always had low blood pressure.  My doctor took me off of this immediately.  "


"I ended up in the hospital with major hyponatremia due to this medication; and only on it for one week.  The doctors did not know why I had such a low sodium level and it was due to the Trintellix.  Caution should be taken."


"I just started taking this medication daily at night bc I just can't sleep at all. It has been a month now and I can finally sleep all night. I feel great to get my life back in order with no side affects thus far and feel much happier. Heaven sent for me. Love my neurologist."


"Worked great for pain, but beware of tolerance. Taking four to six hours or longer seems impossible at times but it will give you the most relief. I have been taking four daily of yellow 3601 ( best generic norco from HEB if you ask me they are extended release as oppose to the rubbish white ones you find elsewhere) and I don't seem to get as much relief now days, one 10 mg will last approx two hours. Hard to get your doctor to understand but I am thankful for having something to help. Works great with two methocarbamol 750 or gabapentin. Have tried many prescriptions for  my three herniated discs, sciatica, arthritis/ pelvis pain and these three have given me the best relief."


"I was diagnosed with grandmal epilepsy in 2004, have tried alot of different medications over this period and Keppra has always been a constant during this time, with interaction with others
Starting on 250mg bd & after a decade I'm now taking 1000mg bd with 100mg bd of lamotragine.
The main concern is that I'm always tired" mentally and physically,  having to rest quite alot & lack of appetite although I have a feeling that this is due to the combination.
I recently had a Petit Mal seizure and the Neurologist advised that it was due to missing one dose of lamotragine,  although Keppra by itself is a generally peaceful medication.
I have been recently diagnosed with haematomachrosis, iron overload,  although they've advised it's genetic."


"UPDATE! I wanted to share my experience once again. I posted on here a little while ago about how I couldn't sleep on Zoloft, only 3 hours then I would wake up every 30-45 min. So I took a brief drug holiday for 2 days and started back on it to give it another try. I literally took 6.25mg and the first few nights were fine, but then after about 4 days I started waking up super early in the morning and I could not fall back asleep. It wasn't the worst possible case scenario, but I still felt like I wasn't sleeping enough and I was still tired through out the day. So waking up early again this morning I have decided that I am done with antidepressants. I have tried 3 now, and none of them have worked."


"I HAVE FOUND THE INPUT YOU GUYS HAVE GIVEN TO BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL! I was diagnosed Dec of 2012. I have been on this medicine for about 10 months. I have had symptoms for years before seeing a neurologist. Aside from the side effects that everyone has mentioned, I have been doing great! Now 24, I am in the free medication program, which is a blessing! Hopefully it works as well for me as it had for all of you that has shared. Stay strong in your journey!"


"I was super depressed and went down to 89 lbs. I took mirtazipine and gained some weight and had slightly more energy.

After a month or 2 I noticed no more crappy feelings - or at least when they were there, it wasn't an end of the world thing. I can deal now somehow. I feel like it's not affecting my mood, but helping me to eat again, which in turn is helping my mood and self confidence."


"I was prescribed 2 pills a day for 7 days. The taste is horrible and it did make me nauseous and have diarrhea. I found that coating the pills with peanut butter or jelly and taking with milk helped with not tasting it. I gave it an 8 because it does work."


"This is Michael's daughter Elyssa.  I am his voice now since he was misdiagnosed with double pneumonia and given Levaquin.  IT KILLED HIM.  What more do you need to know?  Don't take it.  "


"I have been taking Singulair for 10 years. Singulair has virtually made my asthma almost non-existent! I take it every night and rarely have to use my inhaler. Since I also have seasonal allergies, there is usually a short period of time when I find I need a puff from my inhaler, but it's not often.

Any and all medications can cause side effects and everyone will have different experiences, but I feel that the risk was worth it! The only real issue I believe may be associated with Singulair is excessive dryness in my nose that causes sores every now and again. I feel comfortable staying on Singulair because being able to breath easily far outweighs the one side effect I have."


"I'm in the middle of doing this routine, I've been doing it for 1 week today and I've got to say its worked wonders for me! I had/have really bad acne and TONS of acne scars. My Dermatologist prescribed me this and I'm not kidding, I saw results after 1 day and right now I have the feeling my spots will be completely gone within the next couple weeks (not joking).
The reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 is because it does make my skin very flaky sometimes, and especially when I have to go outside it does get kinda embarrassing. Other than that it doesn't irritate my skin and I can't wait till my acne goes away (crossed fingers) :)"


"I was diagnosised 2005, went on regime was undetectable with normal CD4 count.My insurance changed in 2009, my doctors had to change my regime to covered HIV medicines.This begun a 4 year battle to get my virus under control. I went into full blown AIDS I was I never contracted an opportunistic infection. However the virus attacked my brain, my xboyfriend/best friend a nurse came to see me (he lived 2 hours away). He talked to numerous physicians, Stribild had just came out. I started to see the doctor he arranged for me to see. My CD4 count was 4, viral load >1 million. I'm totally serious only after one month of being on Stribild I was undetectable with CD4 count 200 . I deal with the nausea cause of it's miraculous effect on my virus."


"I hate this stuff. Once over withdrawals, may as well be off it. Still crave narcotics every day and if I was able to get vicodin, wouldn't be on this stuff. Now I'm fat, constipated, zero energy and miserable. About cry every day. Can't afford therapy and NA doesn't want anyone on this stuff since not considered clean."


"Barfingbeth here again. I tried to continue the medication on the regular dosing schedule BUT I couldn't tolerate it. I stayed on the 3 per day for 5 days and couldn't function. The headaches and nausea were so bad that I couldn't stand it. I have cut back to 2 per day and still have nausea. I am able to keep down simple foods like toast, grilled chicken and scrambled eggs but not much more. Down 3 more pounds. Not sure this is worth the side effects. Down 12 pounds total in 4 weeks without exercising. I'd like to exercise, but I'm just too nauseous to do so. I hate feeling like this and I know my family is tired of putting up with me lying on the couch and running to the restroom to barf after every meal. Will try to continue on 2 per day."


"Been taking it for 4 months and while it does give me a full nights sleep 8 to 10 hrs finally ☺ I am super stupid the next day until 3 or 4 and have very little motivation or energy so have decided to stop taking it."


"Stronger pain med, is schedule 3 drug, so its not as hard to get a prescription for. I take it for severe back arthritus pain, and it works wonders. Not as hard on the liver as drugs containing tylenol. Stay away from tylenol if you have liver disease."


"I have been a smoker for 13 years, almost half my life sadly. Although this drug did get me to stop smoking (Which I am so Thankful for) the side effects have been debilitating. I am one of the lucky 1% who experience intestinal blockages, so bad I was almost  hospitalized for it. After 5 weeks of taking the drug I had to go off it and 2 weeks later still having intestinal problems.

At least I know I wont go back..."


"Got my first and last depo shot in September. I got the shot during my usual spotting that happens right before my period. After the shot, spotting stops, period is a no show, and my PMS symptoms go away. Sounds great, right? 10 days after the shot and I start getting brown discharge that has gotten heavier and occasionally more pink with no end in sight (19 days and counting). This is accompanied by cramps, ache, and zero sex drive, but who'd wanna have sex with all that nasty brown discharge. Now I know how the shot is so effective at preventing pregnancy."


"Never thought I would have my life back. I can think clearer, my mind isn't racing as often, and I'm not agoraphobic. I used to have a severe phobia of driving and now I can get behind the wheel and even look forward to driving! I have tried everything, Prozac, Wellbutrin, Paxil, Zoloft, and none of them have worked for me. I have lost 9 pounds and counting, because I'm not eating out of depression and anxiety and I'm able to think about myself in a healthy light. I was prescribed Klonopin for severe attacks and found after 4 weeks of Cymbalta find no need for them. I am so grateful for this medicine!"


"I have only been on Yaz for 1 week now, though I already feel like it has done wonders. I suffer very bad with PMS, so bad that I can make life changing decisions within a week of getting my period as well as hating life, not dealing with every day duties and having zero motivation. I am always active generally a happy, positive person though I found as I get older the worse my symptoms get. I have tried Nuvaring and Implanon both with bad side effects. With Yaz I feel a calmness and feel I'm in control. I'm happy again and wake up motivated, so far the only side effect has been a little breast tenderness and nausea. I'm sure this will pass. I agree each pill is different and for different women, I would definitely recommend!"


"I came to urgent care with bilateral knee pain that was hurting so bad, I couldn't work.  They diagnosed me with PFS then gave me an injection of Toradol and I never felt a decrease in pain."


"I would say I have been on Loestrin for give or take 2 years now. It is amazing. Before I was on Fencom Fe which gave me an intense appetite, weight gain and painful periods. I am so happy that my gyno switched me over to this pill and plan on taking it as long as I possibly can! No side effects at all. It is nice to not have to add on to the complaints in the conversation of periods anymore."


"Have been using the cream for about a week, on my jawline/cheek where after several months of failed creams, face washes, I was recommended this cream by my gp.
Admittedly it has left my skin v.dry and is getting flakey, but is also getting rid of the acne. Be careful that you do wash your hands afterwards, and not to touch affected area after applying cream, as I have unwittingly the first 2/3 nights caused the cream to spread to areas where I have no acne, causing the skin to dry out.
Am interested to see as others have commented before, as to whether or not the dryness eases up after my skin acclimatises to the cream. Would definitely recommend intense moisturising on affected area."


"I've been smoking for 10 years about 1.5 to 2 packs a day after my first week on it I was down to 3 cigarettes day now I'm almost smoke free I've been on this medicine for 3 weeks the one side effect I had was weird dreams but overall it does work. There are always side effects I know some people can suffer more then others. I hope the best for everyone who tries Chantix."


"I can't believe there aren't Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis reviews here yet!

I've been on PrEP treatment for a little over 6 months and its been uneventful. Nothing, nada, zilch has happened. Except, despite a huge increase in sex. I had a bad hypomanic episode last year that translated into poor choices), I don't have HIV. So, I suppose it's worked!

No noticeable side effects for me. All blood work (kidneys/etc) are in the normal range."


"I have experienced insomnia since an automobile accident about 2 years ago. This medication helps me sleep better than any medicines normally prescribed for insomnia. I take 100 mg a night. Only problem for me is that if I take it every night for more than a month, it loses it's effectiveness. So I have been alternating it with other sleep medicines to maintain it's effectiveness."


"(escitalopram)"


"Little groggy when I take it at night, but that's all I noticed."


"I had Mirena placed in February 2012 at my 7 week check up following the birth of my daughter. I did have some side effects (fatigue, dizziness, cramps, spotting) the first 2 days after having Mirena inserted but by day 3 I felt 100% better. 7 months later and I love it! I have not had a single period since insertion. During the week that my period is normally due I feel slightly bloated and more hungry then usual but it sure beats 10 - 12 days of heavy bleeding, severe cramps, nausea and vomiting. I'm leaving Mirena in place until I am ready to become pregnant again, possibly in another year or so. After baby #2 is born I will definitely have Mirena inserted again!"


"I was in a recent accident. I was hit from behind. I had to go to thee emergency room. I have a Concussion, Lubosacrial Strain, Cervical Strain etc. I have not taken to much of the medication yet. I rate this medication a 8 because, it helps you sleep and it helps with the back pain very good. Not too many side effects. I have to wear a cervical collar for awhile and I was diagnosed as having Acute head Injury. I hope all will be ok. "


"I used to be on Tri-sprintec, my doctor recently switched me to to Tri-nessa and instantly I was in love with it. I didn't have my period at all, minor cramps and my acne is disappearing so quickly. I haven't had any mood swings either. Thank you."


"I been on it for almost two years I haven't gotten a period since I've been on it but now I'm getting a lot spotting for the past few weeks. I have no sex drive what so ever and I have gain 50 pounds. I have a lot of mood swings"


"I have little to no effect using restasis for 9 months.
At about $900 for a prescription of multidose Restasis I got about 40 days of applications, not the 55 claimed by Allergen.
The dropper design is simply awful.  The dropper is very difficult to squeeze to release a drop.  The liquid is too viscous for a drop.  It comes out in an amount that is probably equivalent to 3 applictions.
The cost of this is prohibitive; my insurance is paying about $500 per prescription so I am picking up the $400 balance.
I will never order the multiuse prescription again and I am doing my best to persuade my ophthalmologist to prescribe a different drug."


"Started on 50mg now up to 100mg. The main side effect I am experiencing is tingling and numbness of the face, head and ears. The sensations vary location and intensity, usually peaking in the afternoon/evening 6-8 hours after ingestion. The overall effectiveness of the medication is unclear due to concurrent methamphetamine use, however I am feeling better than I was prior to commencing treatment."


"My doctor warned me about depression and other side effects. I have had no depression and very mild nausea. The dreams are more vivid or out-there but kind of funny. I noticed a difference 3 days into my treatment and continue to reduce daily. Been smoking for 25 years and have tried many other options including other medicines. Chantix is definitely working for me and looking forward to quitting."


"I had hip replacement surgery on my left hip in 2011.  Surgery went fine, but I developed RSD in my left foot.  It's a long story, with me thinking I was going to die from the pain, to going to the ER one day, on the advice of the home health nurse that came 3 times a week to my house, to my surgeon sending me to a Pain Management Specialist.  He did a nerve block and most of the burning pain was gone.  He put me on a gradually increasing schedule of Gabapentin, which works very well.  If this awful thing had to happen to me, I'm very grateful that Gabapentin works for me and allows me to function.  I have some days when I'm feeling a bit of burning, but it's not bad.  Most days I'm fine.  I have a brace-dropfoot-but I manage.  Thank God!"


"This has worked the best for me thus far.  I have been on several SEVERAL anti-depressants and by far this has been better with very little side effects.  Nausea has been the only downside at this point.  I missed two days due to my pharmacy being closed and didn't have the "brain zaps" after missing.  Big plus in my book."


"I'm 16 as of right now but when I was prescribed it 5 years ago my whole life had changed. People actually wanted to be around me cause I wasn't constantly sniffing and snorting. My sinuses were as clear as the sunny sky. Life was so much better."


"I have had two knee replacement and the first operation there has been a problem with the prosthesis moving I have used Percocet 5 325 regularly to ease the pain this is more or less a Band-Aid until I have another surgery"


"Vicitrol saved my life. After going to rehab a few times, I was exposed to the option of getting the monthly vivitrol muscular injection. The first month I was on it I tried to use opiates just to test it and see if it worked and I felt nothing. After that experience I knew that this would be more helpful than any other method. I continued getting the shot until I found out I was pregnant. With over three years clean I can say with confidence that this shot is worth it if you are serious about changing your life. I am grateful every day for the second chance it help give me."


"Vagifem still works but due to lower dose I have to use more often. My doctor says this is very common with reduced dosage. I very glad that she will prescribe sufficient pessaries for comfort."


"Writing this review from the comfort of my toilet....After spending the last two weeks traveling and eating out more than ever, I was in dire need of a #2. Drank the whole bottle of cherry flavored around 5:30 pm and the urge struck around 9:00 pm....2:31 am and still rollin. Works like a charm, but plan to take this with PLENTY of time before bed. Also *DO NOT* drink it hot...left it in my car while I ran errands....the nausea hits like a ton of bricks within the first sip!"


"Been on the Depo for 3 1/2 years now. No periods. Terrible weight gain. Mood changes. I'm looking to get off of it."


"This drug worked so well, once a migraine has started, that I now cut them in half and it still always works. That's good because the drug is expensive. No side effects whatsoever for me."


"After trying 10 different meds from several classes over the past year for depression and anxiety, nothing was working.  They'd all make me go "crazy" or I'd have just about every possible sideeffect you could think of.  I was close to giving up but my doc wanted me to try rexulti. For the first time ever I had no side effects and I was much happier, I wake up and I'm able to actually get out of bed and go on with my day with mo problem!  I still get depressed and anxious once in a while. But overall this is amazing."


"This product does not work. At all. Do NOT spend money on this product!!!!! It works no better than a .99 cent chapstick. Complete waste of money!!!!!!!"


"For years I have been in so much pain in my knees and legs that I can hardly walk and spend most of my time sitting on the couch. My doctor used a numbing spray and the shots weren't painful. However by the time I went to bed both knees were hurting so much I had trouble sleeping. My right knee was bone on bone and hurt the most. Now both knees hurt just to sit, my bones, muscles and tendons hurt; I can't straighten my legs. I have to have help to stand up from a sitting position. Walking is agony, so I'm still sitting on the couch but now I'm in constant pain. There is no relief. My legs hurt at night while I'm sleeping. I am also so tired I can hardly stay awake and I am extremely nervous and shakey. Getting out of bed is a nightmare."


"I had Mirena inserted 10 months ago after the birth of my 2nd daughter and I love it. The insertion was easy, it felt like cramps. At first I was concerned because I bled for so long, but my doctor assured me it was just my body getting used to it. Since then I haven't had a period at all. I don't even get spotting. Also, I've been lucky and I haven't experienced any weight gain from it. I would recommend it to any woman as an easy form of birth control. It gives me freedom and puts my mind at ease, I never have to worry about whether I remembered to take my pill, if it's time to change my patch, or scheduling an appointment for my next shot."


"Very bad side effects on day 6 and I have to stop taking. Nausea all the time. Headaches. Dizziness. Nervousness. Tired constantly. On very low dose."


"I used this for cancer pain. Nice drug good pain relief
No side effect used patch"


"When I first starting taking Lo Loestrin Fe, it was the first birth control pill I had taken, so I was expecting to become a little moody (which had subsided after about two weeks), but besides that I was completely fine. The first month on the pill I had a little breakthrough bleeding (very little brown discharge-- only for a couple of days), and this too had subsided after the first month. Ever since then I have had no period, no weight gain, no cramps, no breakthrough bleeding, no spotting, no nothing!"


"I was prescribed 10 mg ketorolac tablets following a kidney stone diagnosis 3 weeks ago. The medicine is very effective for my renal colic, causing acute pain to vanish within 5-10 minutes."


"Just want to say I've been taking Ultracet for about 8 years now. I have 3 herniated discs in my back. If it wasn't for Ultracet, I don't know what I would have done.  It helps me to get up and do my daily routine.  It helps me when I want to workout. It helps me cope with the everyday pain. I recommend Ultracet to anyone with pain.  Remember though - it's not meant for everyone.  Different people react differently to medications. So, ask your doctor if you can try it and see if it works for you. Good luck."


"It is difficult to wean off this medication. I missed one dose and the next day was planning on picking up my prescription and I actually had to leave work early because I became so sick (after only one missed dose). Vertigo, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting. I was on 90 mg, then went to 60 mg, then 30, 20, 15, and now 7.5 mg over the course of a month and I am still sick. Vertigo is the worst. I am nauseous every day. "


"I have used this at 1/2 the prescribed dosage for over a year. My cholesterol levels have improved dramatically even at the lower dosage. I do not believe my cholesterol is a problem but have succumbed to my doctor. I would not take statins although my insurance company says I should. I am pleased with the results."


"Been taking diazepam for a while now, its been helping my everyday life. Since Valium, I've been more upbeat with reality. Only side effect I have is drowsiness. "


"Had the infusion twice. The only side effect the 1st time was a slight headache. The 2nd time, no side effects at all. I highly recommend having this. Make sure you are well hydrate the day of the procedure."


"My doctor recommended Euflexxa in a severely arthritic left knee after 18 months of cortisone shots.  The cortisone worked very well but there were concerns about using it "long term".   I had the 3 rounds of shots, with the last round 5 weeks ago.  I have more pain now than before the shots.  I am woken more at night with pain, and have more constant pain throughout the day.  The only benefit from the Euflexxa is a mild increased tolerance for kneeling."


"I am a 57 year old woman, 5' 6" and weighed in @ 234.6 lbs.  I started with the lower dose as recommended by my doctor on July 14, 2014 and it is now two-weeks later and I have lost 7 lbs.  I have been steadily gaining weight over the past 20 years but in particular the past 7 years.  This medication seems to be helping.  I will admit that the very first day I questioned whether I could continue taking this because I was so drowsy I could barely function at work.  However, each day got better and by the 4th day I did not feel any effects at all. I have now moved onto the stronger dosage.  I have also not experienced the constipation that many have complained about here on this commentary.  I am hoping for good results as time goes by."


"I used monistat 1 day pre filled applicator and an hour later it was leaking out of me and I was a little itchier than before. So I decided to do research which I probably should have done in the first place. I went to the bathroom and I wiped and I guess the wiping caused it to burn. I decided to put some vagisil anti itch cream and it immediately started burning really bad. For a min I was like what have I done and then it stopped. So now I'm laying in bed writing this as I am so confused on what just happened. But I'm hoping I don't get worse like almost everyone here was saying. I will definitely be going to my obgyn next time to save my vag the discomfort."


"Acne: Cleared up completely in 6 months and no acne for 6 more months. After that breakouts started again.

Side effects:

Mood- swings (Mild)

Hair Loss (Very Severe)"


"I took morning after pill 12 hours after unprotected sex. I felt so tired and sleepy and nauseous, my stomach hurts too. My period is due 21 of March 2017. My body had these weird chilling sensation so I won't take the morning after pill again. I rate like this because I don't know if it will work or not. I will update later as the days progress and hope I get my period"


"I've been using Sprintec for over a year now and I honestly don't have too many complaints. For the first month my breast was tender but it went away. My period comes exactly the same time and day of the month. I don't usually miss a pill but the few times I did I ended up getting pretty sick at night for around 6 hours, I would throw up and have stomach pains; obviously this could have been avoided. My sex drive has not decreased, if anything it increased. I didn't have any skin break out issues that I know were caused by Sprintec, my face is usually clear with the seldom pimple or two. It's seems to be pretty effective in preventing pregnancy. I didn't experience any unusual mood swings or weight gain. Overall I would recommend it."


"I started taking this medication during a particularly stressful period in my life and continued it for about a year.  It got me through a divorce and kept me within my stress threshold.  I stopped taking it when I started feeling like I was on stable ground and had little if any withdrawal symptoms.  After about a year, another stressful situation came up with my little sister tried to kill herself and I was in my first semester back to college with a full course load, trying to be a single mom to the best of my ability at the same time.  It definitely doesn't work as strongly as it did the first round, but it makes the stress level manageable.  It feels like he rock sitting on my chest has been removed, and then I can think through things"


"I was on Yaz for years and absolutely adored it, but had to switch to the mini-pill when I found out estrogen pills could cause major medical issues with my tunnel-vision migraines. I have grown to truly enjoy this pill as well. I stopped getting my period after two months on the pill, and if it does show up, it usually only lasts a few days. I am naturally petite, but I didn't notice any weight gain that seemed usual. I do have to warn that the first month was very frustrating for me, seeing as I bled for three weeks, but this is also true for many other birth control pills!"


"I am coming up to 1 year taking Saxenda. I am down 40 lbs., started at 250lb, 210 today. I want to reach 180lb, which is my goal. The doctor wants me to wean myself off of the drug because I should have learned how to eat by now. The plan going forward is portion control on all meals, stay away from the bad foods and join a gym because I can lose the weight but now I have to build up the upper body.  The Saxenda taught me how to eat one plate of food instead of three or four but now I have to swim without the life jacket!
Very best to everyone! :)"


"I switched to this birth control after I needed to cut back my expenses.  I have been taking it for about 2 years, and I have had no issues with it at all.  My period is lighter and lasts only 3-4 days.  I have no cramps, no bloating, etc.  The only thing I notice about my period is the blood, which is a huge plus because I used to get cramps and feel crappy.  I have had unprotected sex as well, and I did not become pregnant (twice).  Overall, I would definitely recommend this birth control."


"I've taken it twice and it has worked both times! I had horrible cramps both times, but it is worth it. dont second guess it, if you think you need it buy it. it should work"


"Saved my life and made my life managable. So far superior to numerous SSRI's, SSNI's, off label gabapentim. serax, than any of the 10 other anti depressants I tried. Wasted 3 years of my life. May be addictive for addicts & alcohol abusers but if taken as prescribed I've had minimal side effects. I'm not dizzy, falling, etc."


"I took minocycline for 7-8 months and it worked awesome for me, clearing me up fast and had no side effects. I was relieved that I had finally found something to cure my acne which was very hurtful to my self confidence, but three weeks ago the breakouts came back so I went to the doctor and he upped the dose from 50mg to 100mg but it still hasn't had an effect. I wake with a new break out everyday,  I would 110% recommend this medicine because it did wonders for me for a while, I just wish it would come back and work for me because I feel like I'm back at square 1."


"It started working after 2 weeks. Extremely constipated."


"I couldn't tolerate the tremendous amount of hair loss on Elmiron, so now I take Vitanica Bladder Ease and Marshmallow Root for IC.  I prefer Cysto-Protek, but it's too expensive."


"I started this medication yesterday. 1st day was great, I felt alert and motivated. On the 2nd day, I could not focus very well, once I realized I can't focus I started getting stressed and then out of no where I felt great sadness come over me and cried for two hours.  This medication clearly altered my emotional state.  Pros- lasts throughout the day, does suppress appetite for those of us looking to shed few pounds."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for almost 2 years and I have never felt better. I don't remember having any side effects, what I did notice was that I wasn't crying anymore or screaming at my children for no reason. I am very impressed with this medication."


"I've struggled with social anxiety for almost 20 years and have tried Paxil, Celexa, counseling and therapy, with little to no results. I've been on Zoloft for over 2 months now and it's changed my life!! It's a miracle drug-- I've been lucky to have no side effects. If only I would've had this 20 years ago. I usually blush easily and had a hard time talking to people but not with this! I feel like I can finally be myself."


"I am in grade 12 and I have been on concerta since grade 3. I have noticed I am underweight and I have trouble sleeping at night. But concerta has helped me focus in school, but I just wish it didn't come with some of the side effects."


"I have had nexplanon for 7 months now and so far it's been great. Biggest change has been the breakouts, I was never one to breakout and now I do, I always have at least one pimple but never more than 3. I had mild spotting a week after it was put in and no period since, however, I did get a real heavy period that was nothing but brown blood (old blood) but no big deal. Overall, it's been good, I'll take a few zits over an unwanted pregnancy! I know everyone is different, I wish this worked for more women because it's so convenient to put it in and not worry. I would recommend everyone to try it at least and see how it goes."


"I have been on it for about 2 months now. I have had no side effects at all, not even spotting. I don't know if it's affecting my acne. I'm actually very happy with the pill in most ways except one. IT MAKES ME CRAVE FOOD! That is a BIG NO NO for me! I'm on a strict workout/dieting plan. Trying to shave off those love handles before I hit the beaches. But how can it work if I'm always eating! But other than that I'm happy with it. Apparently it affects your sex drive.. but I've had no such problems. Sex is as regular and enjoyable for me as always. I've had no dryness or anything like that. So overall I say it's great for me minus the food issue. "


"I was diagnosed with UC and Crohn’s almost 14 years ago when I was 7. I exhausted my treatment options this year so I was approved for the biological Humira. After the initial loading dose I thought I was seeing improvement but it was hard to tell as I was also on prednisone to control my flare. After my second two injections I woke up the next morning with my symptoms in full swing again. I know it takes time to start working so I just went with it. About a week later I started experiencing bad back pain and thought I had pulled a muscle when I went to the ER they found multiple pulmonary embolisms in my lungs and kept me in the hospital for 9 days (they never found the cause for this so I say humira ) then back 2weeks later for a UC flare"


"So far I really like Zolpidem ER (generic form). I was having a lot of trouble falling asleep because my mind was always racing. My doctor prescribed 6.25mg at first and this did not really seem to help. He then suggested that I take two (to equal 12.5mg) and this did the trick. I try to make sure I'm done with dinner and any snacking by 7-8PM and I take this at 10PM, right as I"m getting into bed. This softly puts me to sleep within 20-30 minutes. I've read it should not disturb "sleep architecture". I gave an 8 because I still wake up about 3-4 am but I can fall back asleep."


"I received my implant in December 2015. It's now July 2016 and I have hardly stopped bleeding. There were 2, maybe 3 instances where I didn't bleed, but it lasted maybe a week and then I started again. Sometimes it's just spotting, but the majority of the time I feel like it's a full on cycle. I've also experienced weight gain (I was 170 when I got it and I'm now 207), and also it's hard to lose it. I'm constantly at the gym and eating right but I've maybe lost 2lbs. I've also experienced heightened anxiety and horrible mood swings. I wish this could have worked out. I like not having to take a pill, but I've made an appointment to have it removed. It may be right for some, but not for me."


"After 7 Years of trying to get my heavy bipolarity under control with 20 different combinations of pills, I am stable now since January 2012. 300mg of Lamotrigine to keep me going during the day and 750mg of seroquel before bedtime to make me sleep. No side effects whatsoever no problems when I forget to take one of the 100mg doses of lamotrigine during the day, except a little fatigue. When I forget my 750mg of seroquel before bedtime, I don't fall asleep, so I get up to take them. When I forget them entirely I have a cold turkey all of the next day. Shivers, diarhhea, fatigue etc.

Hope  that I'll be stable for the rest of my days :-)

Michel 61 years and still going strong, thanks to this wonderful medicine."


"Have been using this for many years to regulate my heart beat as I have mitral prolapse and atrial tachycardia and have found it the best out of others."


"I was prescribed this drug due to very stressful and lack of help at work, the company l worked for refused to help me in a very busy office always manned by two staff and made to run the office by myself.
I worked on till l cracked and had to seek help, l was placed on a very high dose in the first instance and laid off work through ill health.
I am now on this medication for life as l cannot get off this drug through the side effects of a 'buzz like static electricity at the back of my head' this gets so bad that l feel like passing out at times. This is why l will be on this for life.
If l had known this at the outset l would not have taken it, but nothing explained so, through ignorance and placing my trust in the doctor, l suffer."


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"The only medication relieving my son's congestion and cough. Taste okay."


"I have found it to be very smooth, have needed to take two per day, one early am and second one about noon to make it all day. No more trouble sleeping than normal. No shakiness or jitters, appetite seems normal. One tablet (150mg) was no help. I seem to be more productive during the day. No nausea or headaches, dizziness. I feel like I get along with it just fine."


"I just need some stability in my life. If I can't get that from a laxitive, where can I? I tried this several weeks ago for 5 days with no results, so I ended up taking Dulcolax pink tabs and almost got myself hospitalized from those little pink tablets of hellfire.

My doctor advised I try Miralax everyday to keep things moving, so I tried again. 3 days/doses later, I began cramping after dose 3 and moved my bowels 8 times in 6 hours with much vomiting. Very different experiences from one person."


"Just recently  started taking. About 2 weeks now. I'm beginning to have some side effects, but,in general it has clear up some of the stomach drama except the nausea . I don't like being sleepy all the time but I feel better but not 100%"


"This medication was not for me.  Over the year that I was on it I gained 20 lbs and kept having to up the dosage.  The side effects were horrible.  If I was late taking a pill I would get a really funny feeling in my body."


"Probably the worst expierance of my life. This product made my acne horrible. It made me break out EVERYWHERE. truly disgusting. Waste of time and money"


"Doctor said this will help my blood pressure, high cholesterol and diarrhea. I also had gall bladder removed. It works. I'm 69 and plan to stay on it. Tired of looking for restrooms."


"I started taking adipex 6/30 and it's now 7/4. My weight has not changed. I'm having side effects like chest pain,  shortness of breath, extreme fatigue -no energy at all. I still pushed myself to workout and eat right. My weight at weight loss clinic was 228 but when I got on scale at public it said 232.  Because of pills serious side effects I have to stop taking pills. Best of luck to you all."


"I've read many saying they have had a hard time with nuvaring under 3 months then stopped. It takes 3 months for the body to adjust I was told. So I kept using it and by the 4th month no mood swings or side effects. It's been a year and a half now I've had no break outs, no unnatural mood changes, a lighter menstruation but my drive has had decreased some that could be not being as active (busy life). I've gain no weight related to the ring and seen no weight change the 1st year on it.
I too have a history of depression for those that have a issue with birth control due to it. But like I've mention the first 3 months will effect your mood it's up to you if long term is worth it."


"I have been on Vistaril for several weeks. I have a bad anxiety disorder that gave me panic attacks and makes me shake. My best experience was with this medicine."


"After taking Methotrexate for several years with great results until a year or so. Now I've done my starter Humira doses three days ago and believe it or not I've already seen a slight result... all the redness has subsided. And scaliness has gone away. Here's hoping for the best. "


"I have never been on any anxiety or depression medicine ever, but I have suffered severely, emotionally and financially in the last 3 years.  Everything came to a head about 2 months ago.  I went to a psychiatrist for the 1st time yesterday and went on Pristiq this morning.  I guess it's too soon to officially review it but now I just have an overall sense of CALM.  Maybe a little bit of fogginess, but I'm sure that will subside.  I have a baby and a toddler, plus I babysit and I felt so much less irritable than I did before.  I didn't have much of an appetite, so I hope weight loss will be an added benefit. Wish me luck!"


"I used alesse for a few months and had a lot of trouble with it. I was extremely moody, depressed and felt like a completely different person. Even my mother noticed a huge change. I was crying all the time and overwhelmed. When I told my doctor he took me off alesse and started me on Tri-Cyclen Lo. I noticed a change immediately and I am still using Tri-Cyclen. It's easy to blame mood swings and being upset on other parts of your life, but for me it was ongoing and I knew it wasnt normal for me. Glad I got off of it when I did!"


"My experience with this birth control was pretty good. I am 5'4 about 115 lbs- 120 lbs. Never made me moody, never felt bloated. I felt pretty good on this pill. Before this pill I never broke out!! My face was pretty clear.  When I started this pill I noticed my right cheek started to break out. It was more of red bumps and a rash on my face. I noticed others having the same symptoms.  My diet didn't change after this pill. I ate the same and exercised too. I will be returning to Othro-Tri Cyclen until my face clears up and hopefully try something else."


"I was first prescribed this medicine for severe/major depression at around eighteen-years-old.  I had tried various forms of psychotherapy and nothing had worked; over the course of a year the depression had worsened to the point where I could no longer function.  50mg of Clomipramine transformed my life after about ten days.  It has been, for me a life-saving medicine.  The side-effects are sometimes bothersome, but to this day it regulates my mood almost perfectly and I can live a full life.  Highly recommended."


"I have been using Humira for over two years now. My skin has cleared up and my joints are a lot better than what they were. I have had psoriasis all my life but it was something that I just had to live with, so now after 36 years to be able to move around without having to hover after myself is a blessing in it self. I went swimming with my husband and children a couple of months ago. For the first time ever I was able to put on a swim suit. It just goes to show that the things some people take for granted are the things that we struggle to do all our lives. Humira has given me my life back."


"I took Claritin on two occasions to alleviate stuffy head colds and runny nose.  I took 2 pills, one each on successive days about a month apart, and a day after taking them experienced both times a bloody nose.  I am an older adult and haven't had a bloody nose since I was a child."


"I went on a 4 day, 3 night cruise with my identical twin.  Both of us had previously taken Dramamine but neither of us liked it due to the sleepiness.  She bought some Bonine while I had my doctor write me a prescription for the back-ear sticker.  Both of us took our medicines 12 hours before getting on our plane.  I got tired while she enjoyed poking me and making fun. The back ear patch didnt work, because I got sick with in minutes of being on the ship.  My sister forced me to take the patch off and made me take the Bonine.  We had a great trip. We swear by Bonine and our family and friends love it too.  "


"Just finished starter pack of Viibryd. This medicine was great from the very beginning. Had a little GI upset at the start of 40mg. The best medicine I have taken for depression, it has given me a much better outlook on life. Told my DR yesterday, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Viibryd is awesome."


"Works good except several periods per month of 2 to 3 days when palpitations are much worse."


"I have been on Brintellix for 6 months. Started on 10mg. Initially like everyone else thought it was great with the exception of nausea. It also helped with the quality of my sleep. After about a month it plataued so I went up to 20 mg but it made me extremely tired so I went back down to 10 mg. 5 months into taking this ridiculously expensive drug I felt my personality is completely changing and not for the better.  I became quick to anger, on the verge of tears, (not typical for me), with an explosive and unpredictable personality.  If that was not enough I was also very tired all the time. The personality changes cost me my job and at home well, it hurt people that I love.  Going off of it I was in pain and tears for days..."


"Started at 5mg twice a day.  Got dizzy about 20 mins after taking it but that didn't last long.  After a week I just didn't feel it was helping, but I also was given gabapentin for pain which my doctor said would help with anxiety.  Afraid to take the two together so just stopped the Buspar. I'm thinking I will try adding the Buspar back in again and giving it a little bit longer.  Hoping for better."


"I have never used a medication that worked as well as  Cataflam. It was as though I was able to actually feel the swelling leaving my body. I had no side effects at all."


"It makes my hands shake."


"I have tried several different medications over the past years. Some work at first, but later stop. Some have horrible side effects or just are not effective. I have found that requip extended release works nearly all the time for me. I have to set a reminder on my phone and take it (2mg) at 4:15pm. Regular (not ext release) requip made me nauseous."


"I have 2 kids and had Mirena inserted after 2nd child (frustrated with/idea of trying another pill for Birth Control due to nausea/vomiting). My doctor agreed Mirena would be a good choice because I'd tried various pills, Depot (causing me too many problems to name), Lunelle (recalled and no longer available) and The Patch. Insertion was not very painful for me (not hardly as bad as the pain from menstrual cramps that I'd endured for 10 years). I bled moderately for months and considered removing it but didn't. Bleeding has now eased/absent. Approaching 5 years (4 months shy) I've noticed my hair shedding. Almost positive it's due to some hormonal imbalance resulting from approaching expiration of this device. Overall pleased because has more benefits. Trying another one."


"I had gone through years, the most depressing and humiliating years because of having such bad acne with unbelievably oily skin, starting when I was in the Fifth grade! By seventh grade, it covered my whole face, chest, back. I'd gone to the dermatologist and had been prescribed everything, from every antibiotic, to every topical solution, a vitamin A drink. Finally, years later I finally found a doctor who gave me Accutane. The Only thing that Cleared this all! I never had any bad reactions at All from it. This medicine saved my life really and my self esteem. Thank God I for it, and the doctor who had prescribed it for me!"


"This is the 2nd time in a month that I have suffered from dizziness and fatigue after taking Claritin. My blood pressure has dropped to 96/58 which is low even for me. I have always had lower than normal blood pressure. I last took Claritin on Thursday morning and this is Monday and can finally stand up without feeling dizzy."


"December 1999. Boxing Day. Already signed up for zyban course with group meetings for 1/1/2000.  Started course and never smoked since....or wished to. Truly amazing and immediate. Didn't even have to complete course, it was that good. Always smoked socially from 18 to 44. A true life saver with no side effects. You must attend class /discussions..it's a mental commitment that's essential to success and really works.
Don't hear too much about it these days but go for it!"


"I was have burning pain to my feet, with sharp shooting pains from my toes.  Lyrica has completly stopped both kinds of pain.  It has also helped with the shart shooting pains in my fingers - arthritis related."


"I am 18 have suffered with acne for a good 4-5 years. When I first got my period, my acne was the worst. I was so upset everyday I would cry. My dermatologist recommended solodyn and also yasemin (birth control). These both worked great!! I am not sure if the yasemin has quite the impact but solodyn definitely helped so much with my acne. The only con I would have to say that it is a bit pricey but it's worth it."


"Prescribed to me for Seborrheic Dermatitis on my nose, eyebrows and eyelids. Elidel made the inflammation worse for me and migrated into my eyes causing a lot of itchiness, irritation and pain. Cost with discount card given to me by my doctor was $100 for a 60mg tube."


"I have mild asthma and allergies. My Azmacort inhaler is not enough at times, and the Tussionix gives me complete relief from the nagging cough that I find so exasperating!
I only use it once a day (and not every day) during allergy season. It's made my life much more comfortable during allergy season. Absolutely no side effects when taken once a day as I do. Worth every penny."


"You WILL gain weight instantly on this pill.  I've tried many BC pills and this is going in the trash.  Try LoLoestrin if your insurance covers it (mine doesn't which is why my Dr. tried this one) it's amazing but there's no  generic yet."


"MRI reveals badly blown out cervical disc @ c4-5. Now, as long as I didn't do much, I wouldn't have much pain but getting anything done (like yardwork, working out with pushups, painting a wall...etc) was another story and would leave me in severe pain but always THE NEXT DAY and for at least several days afterward (I never really felt the pain on the day of the activity). Then, my doctor gave me Zanaflex, and now I take one 4 mg tab that night, the next day is pain free! I haven't noticed any side effects, no next day grogginess and even the quality of sleep is normal with pleasant dreaming; in fact, if anything my dreams are slightly easier to remember which shows plenty of REM."


"Apart from sluggishness and diarrhea, this has kept me alive for 10 years."


"For the first few years I had my OB/GYN monitoring my thyroid and adjusting my Levothyroxine… What a mistake! I never felt good and come to find out he was doing it wrong.  Not doing the right test to monitor my levels and decreasing my dose when he should've been increasing. I started to see an endocrinologist and WOW!  What a difference. He switched me to namebrand Synthroid only (which made a difference) and checks my levels twice a year to make sure I'm on the correct dose. I feel amazing for the first time in years!"


"In about 1 week I noticed drastic change. I was feeling much happy, less mood swings, and even my anxiety had lessened. I like this medication because it's natural and has almost no side effects. I highly recommend it."


"I have been using this particular cream since 2 months. Acne is noticably reduced with all those peeling effect etc but then on the left cheeks especially region beside my left eye there have been many small blisters have come up. It seems to be spreading day by day. Is this one of the side effects or is this usual with every user ? I have been using the cream continuously with out break .. Please do respond if any of you have had same experiences and what did you do with it ..
Thanks in advance"


"After trying 4 different birth controls, I was ready to give up when my doctor recommended this.  I do not get migraines.  I did gain 5 lbs and it does make me very bloated. The cramps were very painful but anything over those massive migraines I used to get with the previous pills."


"I was prescribed Pristiq in February 2009. While at first Pristiq seemed like an answer to my prayers in that I felt less anxious and less depressed, this past week I sank back into the deep depression. I'll be seeing a psychiatrist to re-evaluate my medication needs this week. While on Pristiq I've experienced significant fatigue, intense chest pain and sexual dysfunction. "


"The thing I love most about Ambien is that I can still wake up and function if I need to, and then fall back to sleep.  I have three kids, and if one of them wants a glass of water in the middle of the night or falls out of bed, I'm perfectly functional to take care of them, even on Ambien.  I sleep great now, but everyone should try to wait until they get into the bed prior to taking the pill. Fortunately, my worst Ambien-induced amnesia stories are waking up and thinking "I wonder who did the dishes?""


"The drug seems to be helping, but the side effects are bad. I am experiencing every one of them and the hot flashes are constant. It will only be worth it if the pain from the Endometriosis is gone."


"I got this drug for my depression and anxiety. I'm taking 25mg in the night. It makes me sleepy in 30 to 90 minutes. I feel groogy in the morning. It makes me sleep good, dreams are vivid sometimes. Bed thing is that groggy feeling during the next day. No weight gain yet. But I'm using it only for a month now."


"Made me very depressed when I was not at all when it was put in. I also found it very hard to gain weight. Having it removed also made me very sick (dizziness, nausea ect). I would advise you never to get it put in."


"I have been on name brand Pristiq for nearly a decade and doing great. Depression, anger, sex drive, all were in check for a number of years. Like many others I was forced to move to the generic by insurance. It took a few weeks but noticed I was shorter tempered, irritated, and lost all sexual drive to the point of being disinterested. Requested going back to name-brand after two months of generic and immediately felt better. Stress level is down and I can handle it without being irritated.
Disappointing that insurance and big-pharma just need their profits instead of helping people.
Cost on Pristiq before detectable - $65
After deductible - $15.
Generic - $15
Pristiq after generic was available and ins won't cover the name brand -$311"


"I have been taking Cymbalta (60 mg) for 7 weeks and it has been of great help with the anxiety, depression and chronic abdominal pain. I have some minor nausea and fatigue most days but nothing really bad.  The most serious side effects I have is the sexual one - lost libido and inability to reach orgasm. After 7 weeks I fear it will be a permanent side effect, which is hard to deal with. Thank you."


"I hate it. It has honestly made me crazy. Do not recommend it at ALL."


"I have Synovitis/tenosynovitis , which is a severe, rare bacterial infection in my hand.  I had three operations, almost lost my hand, and it was gutted like a perch. Because of the types of antibiotics I had and still have to take  no opioids  worked at all. Oxy, Norco, Percacet nothing. Finally my pain doc came upon Nucynta. I started out taking four 100mg fast acting and 400mg of the ER. I'm now, after almost a year, down to 200mg ER and 225 mg of fast acting. I can't say the ER does anything at all but the regular was a home run. It's a weird high, can be hard to walk and talk, but stay in one place and be quiet. it really helps with the pain."


"I find it helpful for the 48 hrs. I think maybe I need a higher dose or my body temp runs too high and I just need to change it every two days. This medication though like I have seen some say has helped so much and once we get the dose right I think will really make a difference in my life. I have not slept in over ten years like I have since starting the patch due to pain. No insurance, I just turned 27. I pretty much just dealt with it all up until almost 2 yrs ago now. Anyways I would recommend it for continued around the clock relief. It takes some time to figure it out for you but it's worth it if it works for you. Blessing to all. Hope everyone can find the help and relief you deserve."


"Was diagined in November of 2008 with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. I opted to be involved in the Dasatinib trial. I was in remission in less that 2 months. Everything was great, few side effects, until July of 2012 when I started coughing. I was told to stop taking Dasatinib as it had caused water in my lungs, after a 7 week stop, I was put back onto Dasatinib at 1/2 my initail dose 50mg per day. Again all seemed well. In August of 2013 I could not catch my breath but had no cough. It was so bad we went to Emergency at the hospital. There I found out fluid in my lungs again. I am off Dasatinib and am no longer able to take it as my body rejected it. I won't know what medicine I will be going on until the fluid is all out of my lungs. My oncologist says 12 weeks."


"I have been on Effexor 37.5 for 2 weeks now. It immediately stopped ALL hot flashes for 2 days. Since then I have occasional, very mild hot flashes. My doctor told me to check in with her after 3 weeks. I may ask about increasing the dosage to 75. I was a little drowsy at first, then realized I was also taking an allergy medicine with a side effect of drowsiness so I stopped the allergy medicine. I agree with others my mood is better, also, my hair has more body and not so limp anymore. It must be a result of not sweating so frequently and severely from the hot flashes. I haven't noticed any other side effects. I wish I would experience a loss of appetite, that would be nice."


"I'm 26 and had it inserted in Nov last year. The procedure was not painful but afterwards I had some cramping, but nothing I couldn't deal with. The first 6 weeks I had constant spotting and swelling. It got to a point where I had to go and get a sonar done, to find out whether it has moved (I went for a few jogs afterwards). Well it didn't move at all. My husband does not even realize that I have it in. But my weight has been my biggest issue. I gained weight and I have been exercising more and eating healthier and my weight does not decrease. Whether it is the Mirena or maybe something else, I cannot be sure. But it started after the Mirena was inserted. My mood swings are so much better and I just decided to even exercise harder."


"I have had heavy bleeding for 9 months straight with only a two week break with no bleeding. I go through sanitary products like crazy and now have anemia from the blood loss. It's been incredibly frustrating . I got checked for STDs and am all clear so I know it's the bar. I went on this for excruciatingly painful periods. Only every second period isn't painful and now I have anaemia."


"Seriously how dare they sell this as something thats supposed almost STOP your period. I understand they warn you it can be random but no, that is not what this is. I'm on my second year with this and have even had one check up to complain about my almost CONSTANT period. I was told to try ibuprofen and even given a script for Birthcontrol Pills (but really if I'm in Birth control Already why should I have to take the Pills too? ) to help stop the endless spotting- which for me is more of constant gush> just enough to ruin my entire outfit but not enough to get my moneys worth for all the tampons and panty liners I keep having to use as a precaution. First six months was the only time this bar was worth the burden."


"Otezla had recently been approved. After three months on Otezla my skin was mostly clear (psoriasis returned FAST post-Embrel). I was able to stop ibuprofen completely. The pain was reduced to 1/10. Anti-nausea meds helped with stomach discomfort of Otezla side effects. Fourteen months in, the nausea was getting worse, lasting all day. Tremors. Appetite non-existent. Fatigue and anxiety increasing to unbearable levels. Spending more time in bed than not. Pain returning to joints... especially hands, feet, and lower back. Stopped Otezla three weeks ago. Appetite is back, nausea and diarrhea gone. Anxiety minimal.  Energy level much higher. Was only going to stop Otezla for two weeks. I believe I am done with Otezla. Quality of life decision."


"Helped loosen this putty gunk in my lungs making my coughing more effective and less effort  required."


"I've only been taking this med for 3 days so I cannot rate it adequately nor do I know if I have lost weight with this prescription since it has been so recent that I've started using. I don't feel much different from taking it, however, I have noticed quite constant dry mouth and a feeling in my throat/back of mouth almost as though I was eating and only partially swallowed something. I have had some fatigue, though I'm not sure if this is related.

The most important thing to know about this medication is that it is not a stimulant for your thyroid or metabolism, and will not 'burn" your fat. The purpose of this med is to reduce cravings and desire to snack. It will not help you lose weight by speeding any body process up."


"Everybody body reacts different to certain things so for my personal experience I don't have a problem with it so far. I got the nexplanon late November before thanksgiving and I haven't gotten my period the next month only side affects I've been having is cramps just on and off and sometimes I feel this sharp pain in my back here and there or a headache which I don't get anymore. Cramps are not that bad don't happen everyday but pain wise it hurt,the sharp pain in my back hurts but doesn't happen everyday otherwise its pretty cool I haven't really experienced so much so far because I only had it in for almost 2 months"


"Well I got Skyla in September 2016. I'm 24 and I have a child. It wasn't painful going in for but I bleed for a few days afterwards. My period was normal at first,( I normally see bleed for 3 to 4 days) but 2 months in, I saw my period for 5  days. I have gain about 25lbs and counting. I'm 5'8 and I was 125lbs, I've always been skinny no matter what I ate. Skyla changed all that. I've started working out and  changed my diet and still can't loose any weight. Also at the 6 month mark my period changed again, now I spot and have an extremely light flow for over a week which is annoying. Throughout this entire process, I've also experienced a lot of headaches, cramps ( even when I'm not seeing my period) and mood swings. Giving it a year."

"Much needed co-analgesic prescription for chronic pain. Sedation not a problem when taken long term. Tried ALL OTHER muscle relaxants and NONE of them could put a "DENT" in my pain/spasms. My Doctor just cut me back saying he will eventually stop prescribing it due to others abusing it. I don't get it! So his patients will end up having more pain (which means more money for him and hospitals, etc)."


"I was prescribed Neurontin for anxiety and panic, but it made me a zombie.  I am now taking Lyrica and it is amazing!  No more anxiety or panic and my mood is greatly improved.  Neurontin was like whiskey hit hard and had "hangover", Lyrica is like a fine wine, subtle and mellow and doesn't have the zombie effect.  DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL WITH IT this was only a reference.  I am taking 75mg at night and 50 in the morning.  I also don't need the antidepressants anymore."


"This birth control did has done its purpose in preventing pregnancy, but my side effects are awful. In the year I have been on the pill, I have gained about 15 pounds and my diet is very healthy and I'm active. This made my acne worse, I have sleepless nights, and I constantly struggle with being down and not being happy. I have been waiting it out to see if this would shift back to normal, but it hasn't. This might work for someone else but it has not worked for me."


"Been using androgel for about 18 months now. Started in May 2009 with four pumps a day and felt great and my erections were firm and sex was great. But over time my T levels started dropping, so in December 2009 I was moved up to 5 pumps. In August, almost like a light switch went off my sex drive nosedived and lost interest in sex.  In October I had my physical and found that my T level had dropped to 284 which is low. I'm 52, workout four days a week in great shape. My urologist moved me to 8 pumps a day since October 23 and to date still don't feel any different and there is no sex drive. Still no erections or the ability to maintain one.

Any thoughts on this. It has been 18 days since I went to 8 pumps."

"I'm on day 3 of stribild. I am HIV negative but use stribild as PrEP for full protection against infection. So far very well tolerated as a first time  user. No signs or symptoms or side effects. Will take it daily for life."


"This antibiotic is a miracle drug I had MRSA and didn't realize it for the longest time. Me and my fiance kept getting boils back and forth (huge boils) in fact this medicine completely cleared it up thank God!!!!!=) I would definitely recommend this to anyone it also cleared up any pimples I had on my shoulders and forehead......."


"I would say I have seen a complete turn around in my depression. I use 40mg of Celexa and Xanax proscribed three times a day if needed. I usually take two Xanax before bed to fall asleep. I've been on it a year and can say its been a a blessing. Didn't start that way! I chose to stick through some of the side effects and gradually increased my dosage. From 10, 20, 30 now 40 mg which I take every morning. Now I feel the balance. When in need, I spoke with my Doctor to increase if I was not feeling to my full potential of the medicines. Still working on my anxiety around people! Doing better from where I started. GOOD LUCK ALL!"


"I have been on Cymbalta 30mg for the last 5 days. I noticed a lot of side effects good and bad. The bad ones include insomnia, dizziness, nausea, and dry mouth. The two good side effect was less urgency to urinate and fewer hunger pangs. I used to run to the bathroom every hour and almost constantly eat. My mood is improving and I seem to be coming out of my shell. In a few more days my dose will double and I am sure this medication will work. I feel as if I am on the right path to becoming who I used to be years ago."


"My doctor started me on this drug after Prozac (which gave me terrible side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, sleeplessness, anxiety) and cipralex/lexapro (which didn't change my mood at all) both didn't work for me. I was about four months shy of my 18th birthday, but, according to my doctor, it was alright since I've achieved my "adult body". This medication is, by far, the best one I've tried. No side effects at all, and a great improvement to mood. I'm giving it a 9/10 only because it didn't cheer me up the way Prozac did (despite all the side effects) but that could be due to my lifestyle and not the medication."


"This medicine has done only good things for me. I have taken it for about 3 weeks now.  It cleared up my moderately severe acne very quickly no negative side effects. The only side effect I had was decreased appetite which I was not opposed to as I usually eat too much anyway!"


"I have an almost non existent period that lasts for 2 days but randomly my period will start when I'm on the 3rd week of pills then it goes to normal again. They put me on Sprintec to help my moods. Helped a tiny bit. Been on it for 3  years now."


"Had severe sleep problems coupled with depression for years, am on 300mg venlafaxine, was taken off Zimovane and put on temazepam 3 weeks ago and still waiting for it to have an effect on me. It simply hasn't worked."


"Been using Celexa for six months. Doctor switched me from Lexapro to Celexa and glad he did. My anxiety and overall mood has changed dramatically. Only side effect I have is terrible insomnia, but very low anxiety. It is worth it."


"I was given this through an IV in the ER.  I had terrible nausea and Zofran didn't touch it.  Even though compazine did take my nausea away, it left me incredibly groggy yet restless.  I spent the entire rest of the day in a haze.  I've never abused drugs but I would imagine this is how you would feel when coming off of some sort of high yet it lasts all day long.  I kept feeling angry and anxious as well.  I would much rather have nausea and will never take this medicine again!"


"I was originally on Metformin 500mg.  It got to a point where my A1C was going up so my dr put me on 1000mg (1x in the morning and 1x with dinner).  My stomach couldn't handle it.  My blood sugar levels were up and down.  So I asked my dr if I could try something else.  She put me on 2.5mg Glipizide ER and I feel so much better on it!  I don't have the stomach issues and my blood sugar levels are lower and more stable.  I'm glad I switched to Glipizide!  I won't know my A1C until December but I expect it to be much better."


"We have tried EVERYTHING to deal with the obsessive compulsive disorder that goes along with the Tourettes   and this has been our Savior.  The OCD is not as debilitating as it once was. This has given our son back his personality and is making dealing with life a little easier. No more obtrusive thoughts and no real side effects.  The older tried and tested drugs are definitely the ones more doctors should look at first. ( Tics have not been aggravated at all)."


"Xyrem is life changing. I have been taking a free sample of Xyrem for 4 weeks and now for the 1st time I wake up feeling refreshed and awake. I no longer feel like a narcoleptic.

Before Xyrem, each day I crawled out of bed with an indescribable level of exhaustion and I reached for the Dexedrine pills just to drag through another day.

"


"I took this for a number of years for long term chronic pain. It worked WELL without making one unable to function. I was very disappointed when it was taken off the US market by FDA and have not found anything comparable since. Now I have been in level of pain that is uncomfortable all the time or be doped to where not want to do much. Darvon was linked to causing heart attacks tho my understanding is it is still used in much of the world."


"I have been taking Welchol for a month. Out of the 3 years I have been testing my blood sugar, my fasting blood sugar has been the highest in the morning  (I follow a strict low carb diet). I have normal numbers during the day, but when I wake up, it is anywhere from 10-30 points higher. Eating different bedtime snacks, eliminating bedtime snacks, changing Metformin time; nothing made any difference.  Since Welchol, my fasting my is almost always the same as when I go to bed. The only negative side effect is heartburn if not taken with food. I prefer it before bed to lower my fasting, but I might have to change it to dinner time. Hopefully it will still help my morning fasting blood sugar.
It's too soon to recheck my cholesterol."


"Beware.  Started this drug 6 days ago along with diet and exercise.  I lost 8 lbs in 5 days. My side effects were , severe cough, dizziness, headache, fatigue, and flu like symptoms.  On day 5 I didn't like how I was feeling . I decided to stop taking it. I didn't think it was worth waiting for those effects to go away, even if they did. My cough subsided quite a bit in such a short time. Today , day 6, the start of my second day without the pill, I awoke this morning , sat on the bed, and started to cough . I started to gasp for a breath, and there was no air. Several minutes later I was wondering why my eyebrow and cheek along with my body hurt.  I opened my eyes and realized I blacked out and was lying face down on the wood floor.  Run"


"I wanted to write something as I'm in the process of researching new birth control (I have underlying high blood pressure and smoke, so the pill may not be the best long term birth control option for me) and I found that there's not a lot of good info out there comparing methods. Most reviews seem to be people complaining, because who's going to take the time to write something when they're happy? Well, I want to. I've been on microgestin for over a yr and it's been great. My acne is much improved on it, I've actually lost weight in this time, I haven't had any spotting. My libido is still high and I haven't had issues with arousal. I miss my period sometimes but I think that's from using this continuously so often to skip it. No pregnancy!"


"Diagnosed with early RA six weeks after onset of symptoms in almost every joint. Put on 10 day course of decreasing dosage and experience relieve with in the first 6 hours. No longer on Pred but take 2 grams sulfazine daily and symptoms, although still painful, are decreasing after 35 days. Assume that when or if a flare up occurs Pred, will be prescribed."


"Honestly Xanax pretty much saved my life. I know some people have bad reactions to it, but that is few and far between. The rest of you that had problems clearly didn't read up on it-- which you should always do with your medications. All I can really say is that I went from having like 1-4 panic attacks a week to one every six months or so when I take this medicine as needed. I function so much better as a human being, and am forever grateful that I got out on the right meds."


"16 female. I've been under the care of a psychiatric adolescent ward for about 5 months now, this is one of the medications I have tried more recently.
Firstly I had severe flatulence after a day or two of taking the first dose of 5mg. I was also constipated so took laxatives, which then gave me really bad runs which I had for the course of taking lexapro. I also had a slight tremor. I had lexapro in the morning at 5mg. I came off of it within a week of starting it. The day after I came off of Lexapro I was sick, and had terrible stomach cramps and the runs still. It helped with my mood but sadly the side effects outweighed the positives!"


"My experience with Concerta has been amazing. I am 12 and this has helped me deal with bullying, anger issues, and lack of focus. I have learned that just because you are ADHD does not mean you can't have a normal life. I recommend this to anybody who is ashamed by their weight, has trouble focusing, and has anxiety issues but make sure to eat regularly because Concerta makes it so you don't know if you are hungry or not."


"I'm 65 and had ovaries removed 11 years ago, along with uterus and cervix. Since that, I have almost no sex drive and intercourse was super painful. Estrace vaginal cream really helps, and I only have to use a pea sized dab every other day. Just using a finger to apply at bedtime works great. It seems to me that the dire warnings about using estrogens is misleading since no studies have been done on just vaginal estradiol rather than on oral estrogen, and much higher doses are still prescribed than are needed for maintenance. Without Estrace vaginal cream, intercourse would be impossible and husband would be very unhappy. "


"I was on Lexapro for about 3 months.  Side effects for me included jaw pain (at first, or when dosage was increased) and constant nightmares.  Although it did help my mood somewhat, the nightmares worried my psychiatrist and she switched me to Paxil."


"Hot flashes stopped after 3 weeks. Have been using for 3 months now. Went through menopause but now bleed heavily 5 to 6 days every week. Messing clothes, bed linens. Will have to go back to doctor. Thought it would stop by now, but no change. I am 53 yrs old."


"I started using the Nuvaring January 2016. At first I thought of it as a worry free BC where I don't have to worry about taking a pill at a specific time each day. However, as the months of me using it piled up, so did my mood changes, killer cramps from hell, and increased anxiety. I'm depressed all the time, anxious all the time, and I get mad at my boyfriend for no reason at all. He's asked me to see a counselor. That's how bad it's been. I also have a decrease in sex drive, vaginal dryness, and discomfort when having intercourse. I spoke to my gyno about my situation and she suggested leaving the ring in for 4 weeks rather than 3. After reading all these reviews, I decided to take out my ring today and I'm going back to my gyno tomorrow"


"I get horrible side effects from literally every other antibiotic out there, except for Avelox. Of course all medications affect people differently, but I have never felt any of the effects people list here, except for a little fatigue. This medication works very well."


"My doctor put me on benazepril, and I started having a dry cough. That then turned into wheezing and insomia. He put me on losartan-hydrochlorothiazide, and my blood pressure is down with NO side effects. I am also noting that swelling has gone down in my feet and my back pain has vanished as well. I've been on it for a little over a month, and I am thrilled with the results so far. My insurance also covers much more of the cost than the old drug I used, so that's a plus too!"


"Hi,  I have been on Methadone for 10+ years and  it literally cured my depression !! It used to work great on pain but  I have found it does nothing for the nerve pain down the lateral left thigh and into calf .  It’s not touching the pain and I’m on 100 mg . Have even taken more since this flared up . So all in All it saved my life but after over 10 years it is no longer an adequate pain killer ."


"I have only been on Jolivette for a month after my daughter was born. First of all she is 2 months old and in that entire time I have been on a period except for 3 days of very light spotting. I feel like I'm going to bleed forever. It's not heavy it just doesn't stop. It also made my milk supply low which has me supplementing with formula and I have never had acne this bad in my life. My entire face is covered! I am stopping use of this pill immediately. I would rather use condoms than deal with this nonsense. I'm having to use them anyway since you have to take the pill the same time everyday and I always forget. If I wanna get back on the pill I'll take a normal one in 4-6 months when I'm done breast feeding."


"Had pericoronitis several times and once and a small abscess on the gum flap which partially covers my wisdom tooth. Dose was 300mg 4x a day for a week, only took 3x a day and took longer to finish the dose. Very effective at taking care of the infection. Side effects: feeling out of it/dizzy, headache/head pressure some days, strange powdery/metallic taste in mouth, diarrhea when I came off the medicine,(lasted for months the first time, ate a lot of Activia and that greatly improved stool). I have anxiety/panic disorder and these symptoms  made it really hard for me to take it. TAKE WITH A LOT OF WATER, STAY HYDRATED. HAVE SMALL MEAL BEFORE+YOGURT. DONT SKIP MEALS. DO NOT LAY DOWN FOR 30 MINS AFTER TAKING."


"I've been on Belviq for two weeks and one day.  I started at 145 and lost 5 on my own and was stuck.  Since adding Belviq I've lost another 7 pounds.  The trick is to listen to your brain.  Could I eat until I'm too full?  Yes.  But do I? No.  Most of the time I don't even feel hungry so I eat half or even less than half of my normal portion.  Now that the temp outside is getting warmer I'm starting to run again and I'm sure it will speed things along that much more.  I've been tracking my calories and I usually eat 600 or less and I don't feel deprived at all.  Expensive, but it's worth it.  Only side affects I've had is dry mouth and constipation, but that's nothing some water and a mild laxative can't cure."


"Has worked extremely well since started, only reason for a 9 is eating too soon causes exhaustion and makes me go into a deep sleep for a couple hours. The pros outweigh the cons and I'm glad I can really eat my favorite foods again."


"My wife's main tumors in her lungs and liver were 75% smaller last month as indicated by CT.  The number of tumors remained unchanged.  She has shown an increase in the size and amount of bone tumors in her spine, however.  She will be undergoing cyber knife treatments for tumors on L2-L5 in the next two weeks.  Hopefully, she will have a good outcome."


"Tried the generic version after a few rotations of Ambien.  The only thing I disliked about Ambien was the weird loopiness I'd get.  Read over some journal entries I wrote on Ambien and it definitely freaked me out.  I didn't notice a weird metallic taste when I took Lunesta.  The sleepiness also didn't hit me as hard as with Ambien, but it definitely peaked after about an hour and I knew it was time for bed.  Woke up fine, no headache and no weird journaling. So all in all a good experience and will likely ask for this instead of Ambien in the future."


"I highly recommend using benadryl if you have no other sleep aid. "


"It's awesome"


"Taste in mouth, burning in throat, stuffy nose and nausea which all passed after an hour. Medication effective within 60-90 minutes. Very effective and less expensive than a trip to ER to receive DHE intravenously. TAKE A ZOFRAN!"


"Pristiq has been the first and only anti-depressant I've taken, so I didn't know what to expect.
What I got from the daily pill was an aid, it was like having crutches; it just helped me do what I needed to do.
The first week I felt different, along with the slight nausea in the morning (I took it at night after dinner), and yawning which was only slightly annoying.
Overall it was a 100% experience."


"After using Lunesta for a couple of years the effect began diminishing. My doctor prescribed Ambien CR. It has worked perfectly for my chronic insomnia. I have experienced the memory loss. Several times I have sent emails and when I get replies I do not have any memories of what I wrote or of sending the email. But I did get very deep sleep, so I learned to stay off the computer after taking a pill."


"Diagnosed with IBS-C a few years ago. This is the only medication that has helped. I don't take it daily because of the cost but it's been just as effective every other day.

The first two weeks it caused severe diarrhea within an hour of taking it but then it calmed down to regular bowel movements once a day which is a far cry better than the once a week I experienced before the medication."


"My doctor put me on this medication because I told him I get tired and moody throughout the day.. I had no plans to quit smoking cigarettes. I have been smoking for 5 years, 1/2 pack a day. After the 4th day, the cigarette kept on tasting worse and I couldn't even smoke a whole cigarette. Hopefully I just quit, it's best for me and my health. The cravings for cigarettes aren't there anymore. On the 3rd day, I felt really weak and light at work. Felt like I was going to throw up."


"I started taking Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo when I was 16 because I had horrible, horrible cramps and heavy bleeding. I've been on it for 13 years now and I absolutely love it! I'm 5'5 and weigh 115-120 my weight sometimes it fluctuates 5 pounds or so but I never had any major weight gain taking this medicine. I went off of it a year ago for a few months... my skin got soooo mad at me!! I had awful acne on my jaw line - my doctor told me it was hormonally related. Once I went back on it my skin cleared up, my cramps were gone and my period was light and lasted about 3-4 days. It's been a wonderful solution for issues encountered during my period."


"I started taking it for excessive bleeding (was hospitalized with anemia a few times).

The first month was ok - the bleeding definitely was lighter. I did get some dizziness but it was minor. In the 2nd month on day 7 bleeding started. At first light, and then the most severe I ever experienced, with clots so huge and frequent that I did not understand where they could be coming from. I kept taking the pills through the second package since dr told me my body has to get used to the hormones - but I became so anemic and fatigued that I could not get out of bed. Did not start 3rd package. Could work for some - was horrible for me."


"I was put on Duragesic (fentanyl) for severe back and migraine pain. Oxycontin and Percocet didn't touch it. I am allergic to codeine and hydrocodone. At first the patches were a God send- The first 24 hours were hell (vomiting, dizziness, heart racing) but it got better when my body got used to medicine. UNFORTUNATELY about 6 months later I would lose track of hours of time. People said that I would "zone out" during conversations and just stare at the wall. Next came spasms. I would have horrible cramps in my legs. My toes would curl up, my legs would start to shake. I had to step down off the patch 25MGs at a time. Once out of my system the spasms stopped. "


"Where do I even start? Been fighting my crazy mood and bipolar disorder since I was an adolescent.  Was prescribed this years back, and slowly I saw my life start to tangle up.  Mood problems got worse, could not feel much remorse or feelings, just dampened emotions that got harder to control.   I strongly believe this medicine harmed my mental health during one of the times the brain develops significantly.  Been off for exactly a year and still recovering.  Finally I can sleep through the night after about 10 months, but still dealing and slowly on the way back from a miserable journey of anxiety, insomnia, and instability. Mood should arguably be stabilized, not muted and worsened by this medication. Be safe"


"I literally thought there was 0 hope for me. My anxiety has increased drastically as I've gotten older and has led to social anxiety. Going out in public would depress me, I constantly thought people were plotting against me and talking about me. I have been on Paxil for about a month. Thank God. My work days are MUCH better, I don't analyze the hell out of everything and I'm not afraid of people. I can now get out of bed and look forward to the day, not dread it."


"Lets me have a normal life."


"This is the 2nd time I was diagnose with BV in a 3 year time span. I was prescribed two tablets a  day for 7 days. I researched the antibiotic before taking it, most complaints were about the taste when it hits your mouth. I masked mine in a piece of bread and swallowed it no problem each time. No taste or after taste. Make sure you take on a FULL stomach. I was stressing/ nervous about the side effects as it seems like most experience the worse. I'm very sensitive to medication so to my surprise I didn't not get half the side effects as most. Tiredness, slight body soreness, soft stools. No vomiting or flu like symptoms. I have one more pill and ready to be back to normal. Symptoms improved after 2nd day. I'm happy it's gone and hope I don't get it again"


"A miracle medicine for me. I take it with Effexor XR 100mg, I immediately felt relief from my depression and anxiety. I had more energy than I knew what to do with (bordering restlessness though), no side effects except for the ants in the pants feeling. Tried several different medications, and this is by far the best. The samples were great, I just hope I can afford to pay for it...I hope it helps you like it's helped me."


"I've been on depo provera since October I had to switch to this as I was getting migraines from the pill I was on, I've just gotten my 3rd injection 2 days ago. It's the best choice I ever made!! I know a lot of people get bad side effects but I got none, I got no bleeding and my periods have stopped completely which is a bonus as I used get extremely bad cramps. I have had an increased sex drive which is a good benefit and if anything my boobs have gotten a small bit bigger and I've maintained my weight! I was put on this merely for contraception as I'm 18 with a boyfriend but I couldn't recommend this more, I read reviews before I got it and was terrified but it's worth a shot if you're unsure!"


"I had the Nexplanon implant inserted into my arm on August 19, 2015 and had it removed June 14, 2016. Since receiving the implant I have gained 20 pounds, with no change in diet, I even started exercising yet I had a steady weight gain. My pre-existing depression and depersonalization disorder became so severe, ( yes I was already being medicated) that I had to leave school for a semester. My dosage of anti depressants had to be raised, and I became very sick- I had constant urinary tract infections, and had an underlying feeling of just not being well. Though, the implant did succeed in one thing- making sure I didn't become pregnant. My partner and I had unprotected sex throughout my use of Nexplanon and I did not become pregnant."


"I took junel fe birthcontrol for a week I stop because I started feeling sick three days later I came on my period I been on my period for a week now ever time I eat something I throw up I feel sick on and off threw out the day I have back pains this my first time taking birthcontrol ever"


"Worked well the first time I took and but after that my body adjusted to it and it was not as effective"


"I have used this a few weeks to control severe hot flashes. It is starting to work, however, it is very expensive and does not stay on. The longest it has remained on is 3 days. I'm an RN and know how to apply a patch. These do not stay on. I will probably look for another option."


"Was given oxycodone about a week ago for severe abdominal pain and let me tell you! The headaches I'm experiencing now are so horrible that I can't function. The pain still is present and I've become nauseated all the time! Going to GI tomorrow and pray they give me an alternative pain medication until they can find out what's causing my abdominal pain"


"I feel like the character in the movie "Limitless" because I have been responding extremely well with this medicine!  It is known that medicine works different for everyone, but for me it's a God send and I only take 20 mg. I have always had a tough time comprehending everything even talking.  I have to focus on what I'm saying to make less grammar mistakes and sometimes I do sound slow. Vyvanse has enhanced my comprehension: I can now do math quicker, enjoy reading and listening, and actually talk like a normal person. I feel happy and energetic.  Sounds too good to be true, but I consider myself lucky. No adverse side effects yet.  "


"I have been on 1.5mgs of Klonopin for 17 years and it has given me a life. I have had panic disorder, OCD, depression, Tourettes and social phobias since birth. I gave the first 34 years of my life to these conditions, unable to work, raise my kids properly or leave an abusive marriage. While I agree that this is not a medicine for those who have an addictive personality, for those of us who merely want relief from panics, it is a miracle."


"I had been prescribed this medication, I was to take it every morning and night to prevent my symptoms of GERD. I had done that for about a month or less, and I was also to take it when the pain had come. It worked wonderfully. I had stopped taking the medication, and then when I did need the pain to stop, the medication was and is still ineffective."


"I have used Klonopin over the years for anxiety and I've been looking in the internet saying it's so hard to get off of I've never had a problem I used to take 3 milligrams a day on and off for years and then when I quit I just quit I've never had a problem I don't understand where the problem lies with this drug because I've never had a problem coming off has anybody else had problems"


"I have been on the Microgestin 1/20 pill for about a year now. I am 19 years old. This is the first and only birth control I have tried. From the start of the pills I never had any symptoms of sickness, acne or mood swings. My period always comes 2 days after I take the last pill of the pack on the dot. Very regular. I used to get very heavy periods with absolute horrible cramps and with the pill I got my period very lightly for only 3 days with no cramps. The only downfall is that I gained about 15 pounds on the pill in one year. I have been the same weight for years and within the past year, I noticed a lot of weight gain even with being conscious of what I eat. I am thinking about trying something else due to the weight gain."


"side effects blurry vision disorientation, confusion, itchy eyes"


"When I was 14 I was put on 450mg/day before bed time and within 6 months I gained 25-30 pounds. It worked super well to get rid of my hallucinations (including the tactile ones) but it made me extremely zombie-like. My grades slipped at school, and I slept as soon as I got home till the next morning. The first day I slept 22 hours. This medicine made me so hungry all the time and no matter how much I ate I was never full."


"My period is light but I have experienced at least 1 week a month of "unscheduled bleeding" which makes up for the benefit of having a light period.  Slight mood swings.  I preferred regular Loestrin.  "


"Oh my God!!!! Listen to me, I have no reason to lie and have nothing to gain by giving my opinion/review.

This medication WORKS!!!!

It's pricier than other similar meds, but there is no performance comparison!

All you need is 1 pill. I cannot believe the directions say 1-3 pills at once! That's crazy!

I'm on pain meds & suffer from occasional constipation. When it's bad, I'll take one around 8pm. Just 1 pill. Again... 1. Only 1!

By 3am-4am I am using the restroom like a maniac. Then I'll have a 2nd bm approx 2hrs later.  I'm telling you THIS WORKS!

* BEWARE! WARNING! *

If your like me, you don't drink enough water and/or eat much fiber. So when you do take this medication you WILL get massive cramping & might vomit. You'll be okay though."


"I deal with an aniexty disorder. Where I fear anything that has anything to do with the Apocalypse or other things like bad things in the news or conspiracy theories. When I first tried Xanax. It blew my mind. Before it I wouldn't eat or sleep because I was so worried. Now I take it when I need to and it makes me focus on things at hand."


"I was extremely reluctant to getting the Mirena. I was having heavy bleeding for a year. My everyday life was in shambles!!!! I was going to doctor after doctor hoping someone would give me a natural way out!!! Well that didn't happen, after losing clothes,sheets countless underwear, my sanity and a sex life I was desperate for a solution. I finally said yes to my Ob about this method. Needless to say I'm livid I was put on a birth control that side effects are the exact same as the condition I was put on it for!!!! After bleeding off and on for most of a year no one wants to wait another six month's for Mirena to regulate!!!!! I want to please my man, I want to not have to check my pants all day! I'm so depressed."


"I have been on so many different drugs for my RA, this one has been the best one yet.  I do have insurance, but the cost with insurance is still very high ($1000) a month.  My doctors office helped me to help from Xeljanz to pick up the difference."


"Didn't work for me."


"I was on this for about 3 months. It wasn't bad, I had no spotting. The only reason I went off of it is because I am used to the pill. And on the pill you knew exactly when you would start your period. This one made me clueless since I don't keep track of it. BUT when I did have my period, I had no cramps or back pain, it was astonishing. It was light too. It was like I wasn't on my period at all. I did experience very mild cramps at the very end 1-2 out of 10 pain wise. If you don't like the idea of taking a pill & are new to birth control my advice is try it. It's the closest experience you'll get of having a regular period (Keeping track of it)."


"I took Prozac for 6 years continually.  Started at 20mg/day and went up to 100mg/day at times.  My new doctor took me off of Prozac 2 years ago and put me on another medication.  I have gained 90 pounds in 2 years.  I am pulling out my hair again, intrusive thoughts.  I had no side effects from Prozac, no loss of sexual drive.  I LOVED (and still love) Prozac.  As a matter of fact I am going to the doctor tomorrow to see about getting back on Prozac!"


"I'm 15. The first time I got one was during the winter of 2014. I used monistat 7, and after a really really long week. It got better from what I remember. It burns and itches so bad once the cream is inserted, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep.:( I didn't get it to make me itch and burn more! This month in May, I got another from taking antibiotics, fighting another infection. I had an extra box left over and the redness and itch relief cream to add to the redness and itchiness through out the day. It's horrible at first, but give it time."


"Stage IV arthritis in the left knee, and spinal stenosis. It allows me to ignore the pain and keep working. Of course I treat the knee and back gently. I worry though about the acetaminophen. It never helped by itself, it does not seem to do anything in conjunction with the hydrocodone, and it may be damaging my liver or other organs. For this reason I cannot give the drug a "9" or "10".  There is apparently no hydrocodone available without an additive."


"Marvellous, restored my dignity, anxiety management and sleep."


"I started Seasonique about 6 years ago. I was on Yasmin before that. I didnt have any break through bleeding, I love this product"
