"Literally just got Skyla implanted today. Do it on your period and take max. dosage of painkillers an hour ahead. I'm 20- no kids. It hurt a lot but its like a bad cramp. Still getting used to it but the best part is that you can get this removed whenever!"


"I had an abortion in April 2017 and bled the way u should after abortion like having a baby. I was given this birth control due to no insurance and started taken it I missed a period for a month then my period came on and I've been bleeding now 16 days and I have not stopped this is the absolute worse I hoping my Medicaid cuts in so I can go back to Nuva ring"


"I didn't realize how bad my anxiety was until I started taking citalopram (and found relief).  I had never taken any antidepressant and I started off with a TINY amount..5 mg in the morning for the first three days.  I got a bad headache, which went away after a couple of days.  I then increased to 10mg... then 20.  I ended up at 40mg daily and have been on that for a little over a year.

I am currently in the process of decreasing my dose.  I dropped down to 30 mg  for two weeks and I am noticing my irritation and anxiety increasing.  My goal had been to get to 20mg but I am not sure I'll be able to do that, due to the increased feelings of anxiety.

All in all I have found this medicine to be a HUGE help with very few side effects."


"Caused restless leg syndrome."


"I used this for one month with little to no results on my face; on my chest, it cleared up the clogged pores very quickly. I'll be switching back to Epiduo, a stronger retinoid and less risky anti-septic (topical antibiotics pose the risk of creating antibiotic resistant bacteria). After seeing that most of you experienced notable improvement within a month, if not a few weeks, I'm forfeiting this treatment."


"F-Age 60. I have taken Buspar for 20 years, starting in 1992, age 40. I would go off for 3 yrs after being on for 3 yrs. I had horrible relapse of anxiety, would have to go back on. Now I have been on for 6 years without stopping at 5mg 3-times a day. I love Buspar and plan to stay on for life without stopping. I have done things that I could never do without the Buspar, like hiking the grand canyon at age 58, just driving there would have given me panic, and even day to day stress. I will take my chances with long term, better than feeling sick daily, not being able to eat, sleep or leave the house, no way to live. Side effects for me slight dizziness. "


"I felt it necessary to leave a review because of how well this medication has worked for me.

However, I have been quite seriously bipolar (with panic disorder) for over 30 years. As you can imagine I have been on many medications. About two years ago nearly everything had gone wrong in my life - including being homeless and drinking far too much. I pulled out of that with the help of Seroquel. But I was still having really really bad times. Then I met someone who suggested this medication.

Well it was not instant but slowly I started becoming "normal". Normal to me is wonderful. Now I hardly drink.. Why - because I drank to cure myself.. I actually wake up and look forward to the day. I feel young again!"


"First Post: I got contrave from my NP a month ago with the scale down program. Took me two weeks to even try it because I was so afraid of nausea. I am sensitive to nausea. Week one was fine, no side effects to speak of. Week two I have felt a twinge of nausea when I take the second pill at night. No biggie. This is my first diet medication of any kind and I am skeptical but I admit I may feel less cravings. Maybe fuller faster. Starting weight 321. Wk 2 I am down to 309."


"I'm starting my diet on 1/19/15, so excited.. I'll report back in 1month with my results.. Thank you for your reviews.."


"I developed severe calf and back thigh cramps at night after the first use. The allergist said that only about 3% of users develop leg cramps, but I don't see this mentioned at all in the side effects."


"Honestly, it's not so bad - not my favorite thing to drink, especially in such a large quantity, but if you just chug it down 8 oz at a time, it's doable. It does work as advertised - I was on the toilet within an hour. If this is what it takes to be checked out (colonoscopy), it's worth it to make it easier for the doctor to see what he's looking at. Good luck!"


"I have arthritis in feet, right knee, both hands, and right elbow. When both Vioxx and Bextra were taken off the market I had to turn to Vicodin to relieve pain, but was so afraid of addiction I did not take it very often. Then doctor tried me on Meloxicam. It's much easier to function, does a great job on the swelling, and an adequate job on the pain for the most part. No side effects, and still not as good as Vioxx, but it's better than over the counter, and better than an opiate."


"I have been on This medication in clinical studies, guinea pig, for over a year.  My psoriosis was very extreme ! This medication was concocted in heaven!  Thanks Lily!!!!"


"This was the first birth control I was ever on. The first 4 months on it were fine. My sex drive was normal, my moods were normal, then it all changed. I noticed I start to become depressed. I had emotional outbursts, I was moody all the time. Not to mention my sex drive became nonexistent, and I was so dry down there it was too painful to enjoy intercourse. I felt like a completely different person, and not in a good way. In July I went off the pill and stuck to condoms. I'm starting a new brand called 'Lutera' and hoping it's better than microgestrin fe 1/20 was.

Pros: No pregnancy scares. Periods were on time.

Cons: depression. Anxiety. Mood swings."


"Within an hour my eyes were getting very red and then stinging.   I felt very irritated and not normal and suffered a loss of balance and depressed feelings.  Had to hold onto things to keep from falling and strangers noticed and asked if I was all right.  A little better the next day but eyes still very red and burning.   Was told by my doctor to rinse my eyes and it would help but hasn't made much difference yet.  Cool not ice packs seem to help the most.

Not sure if I can take it at my next eye exam."


"I'm 24 and just had Skyla inserted yesterday afternoon. This is my first birth control ever so I went in with absolutely no idea of what to expect pain-wise. I had been told I would feel some cramping during the procedure so I expected some pressure. It ended up being more painful than I thought. I would rate the pain a 7/10. I should add I was on the 4th day of my period. I didn't take anything before but did take two Ibuprofel tablets as soon as I got home. It helped a lot but this morning at work (8am), I was miserable. I couldn't even move. I ended up taking Ibuprofen again and it made work tolerable. Still cramping now (7pm). Hoping it gets better. *heating pads help*"


"This medication is magic. The first few times you take it (if you take it before bed, I usually do because that's when a majority of my panic attacks occur), then you might wake up feeling zombie-ish for a few times in the beginning. For me, that side effect passed. Now, it's amazing for me. My best friend was on Xanax and she said it would just knock her out and by the time she woke up, it would be worn off and she would then panic all over again. Klonopin has not been like that for me because it has a longer half life, which means it stays in your system in effect for a longer period of time. I will say this - be careful. Honestly, I took 1/2 of a .5mg pill for a while and it did me well. Be safe with your usage and you'll love it."


"I've been using the nuva ring for years . It's easy to use , colorless , odorless, you can't feel it when it's inside of you , neither can you feel it during sex. Your partner however may feel it . Some say they don't like it , some say it makes the sex feel even greater . But overall, I love the nuva ring . It is excellent on plus size women. I'm 5'6 weighing 367 pounds. And I've never got pregnant on the nuva ring. My husband and I do not use condoms , and I've never gotten pregnant while ring was in use . This is excellent for those women who can't remember to take a pill on time . Or don't wanna do IUD, or Depo. This was the best option for me. Thank you."


"I have been on this pill for one week, and have had a constant headache. Most severe headache I've even had. Not only that but it makes me feel sick to my stomach as well."


"I'm a first time user of Lutera and never took any type of birth control in my life, so far I'm on the 4th week of using it and experienced terrible migraine/headache for 2 days which made me skip a pill. I managed to get back on track but have not had any other side effects. I'm really just taking it to help my hair grow, it has grown by a couple of inches. Yes! I have fuller breasts and nice facial skin as well. I have also been able to maintain a well-shaped body with daily exercise (no hunger attacks). "


"Had my first injection of Lupron 7.5 mg in July; second injection at the same dosage is set for August 21. So far no hot flashes or side effects. Have been taking Casodex simultaneously (30-day supply) which will end shortly. Only side effect from that initially was fatigue, which resolved after 5 days. Decided to insist on 1-month Lupron injections instead of a 3-6 month extended dose as PC support group participants on the once-a-month dose had far fewer side effects. I'm sticking to my guns on this one; MD tried to give me a 6-month dose right off the bat. I'm switching MDs and glad I did it this way. Hope this helps others."


"Very helpful for this medicine for several uses. Good for anxiety. Long acting medicine allows for various dosing regimes. About as effective for the given individual as the next SSRI so don't be afraid to try this.  Was good for me without side effects at the starting dose. Side effects did show up at a higher dose though. Overall a good medicine. "


"I have really oily skin and would get the big cyst pimples all over my face since I was 12 years old. I was prescribed Accutane when I was 16 years old by my dermatologist. I noticed results after a month of taking it. I took Accutane for 6 months and my skin cleared up beautifully with no scars. I did get depressed, really moody, had some stomach aches and really dry lips. But 2 years later my acne came back with a vengeance! My skin did calm down after a couple of months but than once again it came back badly and now I have really bad scarring. I'm 21 years old now and I'm thinking about going on another round of Accutane because nothing else works for me."


"I'm 51, been having seizures since I was 12. Carbatrol and Depakote are what I'm taking now for about 20 years. These are the only medications that seem to work for me, I've been considered controlled, I drive, the best thing that happen to me. Only thing they are just so expensive."


"I have taken 50mg of Trazodone on two non consecutive nights and have had very severe side effects. Both nights, I recall having an extremely high heart rate, a massive headache caused by sinus pressure, it caused extreme post Nasal drip, and I had trouble swallowing because of the dry mouth. By 430 am on the second night that I tried taking Trazodone  I took an Atavan because I was panicking because I could not sleep. Afterwards I felt incredibly dizzy, because the two medications don't mix well together. Tonight I decided I would skip the medication and see if I could sleep without it. It is 1247 am and I'm still awake. I spent a night last week in a sleep disorder lap, but I was unable to sleep there either."


"took it for two weeks, after a week started getting sick as a dog.  foul stomach, diarrhea, tired. can't wait to stop using it..."


"I asked my doctor if we could try something different as I was on Effexor and the sexual side effects were kind of rough on a newlywed.

He prescribed Wellbutrin. Not only did I rapidly taper off Effexor, but the Wellbutrin send me into a manic state where all I did was clean, yell, and cry. I had panic attacks all the time. Wellbutrin will definitely not help with anxiety."


"I went to see my doctor about inflammation to my throat and a slight bit of congestion in the mornings. He prescribed Nasonex. What a relief. Although my symptoms are probably slight compared to most others, this product was easy to use and effective without the harsh chemical feel or taste associated with other nasal medications. Instead of two sprays per nostril, I have elected to use just one spray in each nostril and found my symptoms relieved.

If your opinion of nasal sprays are anything like mine used to be, give Nasonex a try for your seasonal allergies."


"I have severe ADHD . For a while I didn't know what was wrong with me, constantly day dreaming,lazy, unorganized, acting impulsively and very hyper. The medicine has changed my life. All these symptoms are gone except I'm still a bit hyper and impulsive but only slightly. It does exactly what it says on the tin and changed my life dramatically. I could actually focus. Bad things would be if you are sensitive to stimulants like coffee. It will make you jittery, it gives you a slight mood and energy boost. I'd recommend taking it in small doses first. "


"I only had issues with acne and a few headaches. With the headache I would just take asprin and it went away. I would washed my face 3x a day and I still couldn't keep the break outs under control. So I am switching back to my old pills after being on these for 90 days. I had no spotting, no mood swings or any other side effects. I am 31, eat healthy, work out 4 times a week and the pills were free to me per my insurance so that's why I tried them. Hope this info helps you decide if this pill is right for you.  I would still use them but at 31 acne is not a good look for me."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've tried about 5 different birth controls over the past two years, I started with Yasmin and even tried Lo-Seasonique. I had side effects ranging from extreme hormonal emotions, weight gain and migraines. Since starting this pill almost a year ago I have had absolutely NO negative side-effects and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a birth control that's not only reliable but doesn't effect your weight or your emotions."


"Clobex is in shampoo form. I use that weekly. Need 2 tsp. Lathers up really well. I leave the shampoo on for a few hours then rinse. This is a great maintenance first me between the spray applications- I apply the spray on wet hair/scalp so it stretches the product more bc it's expensive."


"I am 20, and have been using this birth control a little over a year. It is my first birth control pill. Effective at preventing pregnancy but that's the only plus. Overall I think it's an okay pill, but I wouldn't say it's the best. It takes about three months to adjust to it, and taking it at night helps with the nausea and headaches you may experience. I have gained 15 pounds while on the pill, which is very disappointing because my diet is better now than it was before and I've always been very active and attend the gym. The weight is hard for me to shed now..it's frustrating. My periods are normal for the most part, but sometimes they come a little later and carry over when I'm back on active pills. "


"Makes me sleep, diarrhea. And dissolves in my mouth"


"I have been using Restasis for about 4 months and really have noticed a huge improvement. It doesn't burn at all. "


"Have been using for the past 3 years or so and is truly a wonder medicine. Clears up any acne, and I have a routine where I put it on before bed each night. Once you find your "perfect" amount of gel to apply, you'll find your face to be pimple free and soft. Don't worry about dryness, that only occurs if you apply way too much medicine. Seriously would recommend this to anyone who struggles with acne, and that I can guarantee you'll love it and stick with it, just like I have!"


"It really helps me to get rid of my symptoms of ADHD, which I suffer from alot. Once I tried this drug I have been better since. I have been taking it for seven years."


"Don't ladies just DON'T!!! I have never in my life felt the kind of pain I'm in right now. I am currently in the fetal position in unbearable pain and I'm a girl with a HIGH pain tolerance. I went to my gynecologist today and was diagnosed with yeast infection after he looked at the discharge under a microscope, he prescribed me the antifungal pill which I took, but while in the pharmacy I thought that I would tackle it at both ends and also get an over-the-counter yeast infection pill to insert and help along the pill I am taking by mouth. It  is possibly one of the worst mistakes I think I have ever made in my entire life."


"I started getting migraines when I was 20 years old and now I'm 23 and get 6  a month.  I tried numerous medications such as fiorcet, maxalt, topamax, etc. When my doctor prescribed me treximet I assumed it wouldn't work like all the others I tried.  I got a horrible migraine and took a treximet and was relieved about 30 minutes later.  I was so happy I started crying.  I never thought I would find something to work and it was such a relief to know I won't have to suffer my whole life anymore."


"I have been citalopram for over a year from a recent breakdown. I have been on in the past for PND and it works for me. I have dropped my dose to 5mg every second to third day, but with Christmas coming up I increased my dose to 5mg a day, but I forgot about the side effects as my anixety is 100% I know it will pass but it's hard to keep the self talk going."


"I had my first colonoscopy yesterday and was really anxious about the sedation.  I've had conscious sedation before and was ALWAYS aware of the procedure being performed.  Not so with Propofol.  I was out in about 5 seconds.  Next thing I knew, I was in recovery.  I felt pretty stoned for an hour or so afterwards, but it wasn't unpleasant!"


"So my bf was drunk and accidently came a little inside. He told me that 8 or 10hrs later, cause he recalled. I was so afraid and no, when they're drunk do not trust them. So we initially wanted to grab Plan B, but the clerk offered Aftera which is $10 cheaper. I was hesistant and wanted Plan B cause it has always worked for me in the past. But my bf wanted the cheaper one, the clerk said they both work the same way. After I took the pill, I had headaches and I was very stress that I would become pregnant. But I felt those we're just the side effects. I was in total disbelief that it'll work cause it looked skeptical. My period came after 5 days of patience, this stuff actually works! Saved $ too! My suggestion is take it ASAP, it'll work!"


"I had had the skyla inserted since October 28, 2015. I must say that this birth control is the best. I recently was on the depo shot, which made me crazy. I feel like I am now coming back to myself. Goodbye bloated belly and water weight."


"After being on an obscene amount of prednisone without working, I switched GI's and he prescribed me Salofalk.   When I know a flare is coming, I can take a few salofalks over the course of a few days and things usually clear up.  Was a life saver!"


"Excellent medicine....don't hesitate."


"I'm 19 and have been with my boyfriend since I was 15. I have no kids and the pill  I started  to forget and the hormones just are out of control.
I've had this in for 3 weeks now.  The worse part for me was putting it in. I felt a lot of pressure and discomfort. I had cramping after and all the next day. I bleed for 10 days then it stopped.  I just took pain meds before and after. I would recommend it.
On another note if your man is a big he can feel it a little bit inside of you, but doesn't hurt him just a different feeling. And wait like 2 weeks to have sex"


"I am sure Effexor has helped many people over the years. I was one of the first patients to take Prozac I was given ever increasing doses as my depression increased. At first, I was HEALED! I wound up in hospital with psychotic break, due to SSRI's.
Effexor was given to me a few years later ( Doctors still did not correlate medication as possible issue ) and again I got more depressed. At this point I was taking a bi-polar med Lithium. The Dr. abruptly stopped Effexor from a high dose., and I do not remember the next month. I was on the payphone in a psych- ward  talking to my Mom and came back. The nurses said I do not want to know what happened.
I take my meds everyday, at the same time, see my Dr. every 3 months, and am well."


"AWFUL BC Method!! While on Skyla I got pregnant about exactly a year after having it in. It was in place and I was having regular monthly periods. Not to mention about six months after having it in I developed a ovarian cyst the size of a grapefruit that had to be surgically removed. The cyst also killed one of my ovaries causing in the removal of one of my ovaries and one of my Falopian tubes. Seriously this method is not safe. After finding out I was pregnant I found a lot of others who had gotten pregnant on this."


"Been on victoza 0.6 mg for a week. Was on a flozin before which was wonderful, lost a stone and g ad tons of energy. Then I was forced to go onto victoza. Felt sick with headache since, stomach pain, constipation, always but thirsty. In fact so thirsty I can't sleep, no matter how much water I drink. Sore throat, which puts me off solid food. Hungry all the time but cut down on carbs so can't fill up. Plus, my blood sugar has shot up from 9 to 14 on this rubbish. Wondering whether the higher 1.2 dose would work, but scared of feeling even more ill. The energy I gained on the flozin has gone, I just want to sleep all the time. I am forced to use this as it was prescribed, they said they want to keep me on it 6 months. Can't wait to get back on t,"


"Having severe chronic neck pain from an accident. Ms-Contin works great to help me live my day to day life easier."


"Justin became very shaky, weak, lost stability that he has not gained back. He went into massive seizures when on the drug. After two hospitalizations, we took him off. It has been over a year and he continues to have difficulty with standing up in the mornings and walking all the time."


"I had mirena implanted on my follow-up appointment one week after undergoing a medical abortion (mifepristone). I have a high pain tolerance; compared to the effects of the pills the prior week, the insertion was mildly uncomfortable but by no means unbearable. I took a pain pill prior to the procedure. I had a bit of bleeding and cramping in the two days following. Everything seemed to even out for the next week, other than random cramps and spotting. It has now been three weeks post-insertion, and the bleeding is slightly heavier, particularly following a strong cardio workout or other activity. I'm hoping that this will work out, as my previous bc (the mini-pill) was awful and I never want to experience the consequences again."


"I suffer from complicated grief and PTSD, I lost my only child to severe mental illness almost six years ago. My anxiety is through the roof right now.  Psychiatrist prescribed Ativan but it does nothing really (.5 MG) compared to Alprazolam (generic for Xanax).  Even splitting a .5 MG pill helps me to stop frantic behaviors.  But this stuff is addictive, you have to be careful never to go over prescribed daily dose and I don't know how difficult it will be to stop this medication, if I ever decide to do that."


"Terrible. I felt it when I moved around no matter how many times I re-positioned it, I was in such pain. And it just doesn't sit well with me that there's some biodegradable thing inside of me. Nope, no way."


"The first time that I took this medication I immediately became sick and it made my allergies worse.  It started by making my throat scratchy which tends to lead to running nose, itchy eyes and sneezing.  I presumed that it must have been the medicine because it happened immediately after I used the spray.  It was confirmed two days ago when I used the spray again.  My throat became scratchy and I felt horrible.  I believe that the medicine is causing post nasal drip which in turn is making my throat hurt.  I noticed that there is an additional ingredient in this spray called "Azelastine" that is not in Flonase.  If I had to guess I would say that is the reason for the sour throat.  I will not be using this product again."


"Im 28 yr old male. I was always depressed everyday and hating everything in the world. My girlfriend forced me to get help so the doctor put me on Lexapro 10 mg. This is my third day on it. I have to say I feel better. The only side effects I am having is stomach pains, sweating and feeling very tired. But I am feeling more positive about things now. I am just shocked how fast it has helped me. The only put back about this pill is and not be able to orgasm. I would recommend this pill to anybody that is depressed all the time. "


"I am 25, 130lbs and am in good overall health. I have been taking this medication for almost 3 months now and as of today I am going off of it. It didn't make me gain weight, but my mood has been horrific. I have no motivation to do anything, I quit going to the gym and am constantly in a bad mood. It also made me break out like crazy. Big, ugly, long lasting breakouts too. I can't handle it anymore and neither can my husband. I'm finding something else. "


"*Update #3 or 4 lol.. I've been on Saxenda 2.4 current dose, I have lost a total of 28lb in 2.5 months! I am having some gut issues now, constipation, DO NOT eat sweets , I get very sick when I eat anything like a bite of a brownie or a York paddy, body won't tolerate the sugar, which for me is GREAT. I started at 208, I am now 184, average loss of 2 lbs a week. I'm super happy with this medicine. I do feel as I've hit a plateau,  so I need NOT drink wine or diet sodas, when I drink only water and some milk , I drop about 3 lbs a week."


"I felt compelled to compose this review as I have been through 33 years of HELL.

Like many of you I was labelled as just depressed or anxious - nothing worked, CBT went over my head, SSRIs were ineffective etc.

I went on second line SNRI treatment and all hell broke loose! Cycling within minutes literally wanting to tear my own limbs off from frustration then the next minute obsessing over meaningless rubbish.

I had had enough of the NHS and my job was on hold having been off a considerable amount of time.

I decided to get a private psychiatrist and it was the best money I ever spent.

I fit the bipolar 2 spectrum to a millimetre of its criteria - now I knew that I wasn't insane. Lamictal has saved me from suicide literally!"


"Started Anoro 6 weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised the first day. No rescue inhaler needed and walking 15 to 20 minutes was easy. Then I started having pain in my legs and thighs. It kept me awake at night. I also have sleep Apnea, so this is becoming an issue.  I believe I will need to start on a different medication for my COPD. Very disappointed."


"I got the shot at night and saw no results that night, but I could tell a drastic difference in the morning as far as the infection goes (pain was not changed)."


"Developed severe nocturnal leg cramps.  Occured nightly between 5am and 7am.  After 3 months I discontinued and went back to Diltiazem.  Cramps stopped next day."


"I had my first colonoscopy yesterday and used the suprep.  Following other suggestions, I mixed with 7 up and cold water, and also refrigerated the two bottles before use.  To warn others who might be like me---it did NOT work within one or two, or even four hours for me.  I drank the first bottle and two cups of water around 6:30 pm (my procedure was at 9), and absolutely nothing happened until about 4:40 am, when it was time to drink bottle #2!  It worked great (and very swiftly at that point) and my procedure was successful, but just be warned it does not always work right after consuming the first dose, especially for those of us with (ahem) slower motility."


"On Pristique for two years with good results, then started getting really depressed.  Doc prescribed 150 mg of Effexor for six weeks.  I didn't feel any better and was having horrible nightmares and constipation.  I was so disgusted so I weaned myself off over period of six weeks.

  I thought I was going insane, the nightmares increased and I was jumping out of bed during the night with leg cramps ,was nauseated and dizzy.

When the dizziness got so bad that I fell down, I went to ER and they told me that was withdrawal symptoms and go back to doc.  Now I am down to 37,5 mg a day. Nightmares not so severe but have terrible leg cramps. Hope to be off after one more week."


"I have had Kyleena for about 4 weeks now. When it was inserted, it did hurt more than I expected, but I powered through the pain. I had taken Advil an hour prior, it didn’t really seem to help lol. The rest of the day, I laid in bed with cramping and bleeding. I have been on my period since that day, but it had been light with no cramps up until a week ago, where my period got heavier and I started having severe cramps. I am not sure what is going on, and pain meds seem not to be doing a whole lot for me. I’m eating a lot and I am constantly bloated. I am optimistic about these negative things going away, but if they don’t I will have it removed."


"I had previously been on Orthotricyclen Lo for over a decade before trying something new. I loved ortho lo, but my insurance didn't cover it anymore. I've been on microgestin fe 1/20 for 3 packs now and I can't say I love it. With my previous pill I had no breast tenderness, acne problems, and always got my period like clockwork. Now on microgestin, my boobs hurt constantly. So painful I can't even wear a bra, but they're not getting bigger. Acne flares up around week 2. My biggest complaint is that I have not gotten a period on this pill. Some people might think  opposite  of me, but I want a period. Anyways, my Dr said wait it out to the end of the pack and if my symptoms don't subside that she'll switch me to Aleese."


"I was prescribed the 7-day, 3 times a day dose for BV. As to symptoms clearing/persisting, I wouldn't know because I didn't notice anything amiss to begin with (no noticeable smell or discharge). The GYN recommended Flagyl after my annual appointment possibly because I was developing BV.

I don't know if it's the medicine, but I developed the worst sore throat I've had in years. Congestion interspersed with runny nose, sinus pressure, throat pain, sneezing, coughing, raw nose, the works. It feels like a mix between strep throat and a sinus infection. I feel like my head is in a vice.

The only other thing that's changed is darker urine than usual. I'm on my last pill and I started getting sick on day 4 of antibiotics."


"After 3 months of 2mg four times a day, with no change in glucose levels my doctor and I sat down for a talk.  When asked if there was a ceiling for the dosages he said we have plenty of room to adjust (there actually is no recorded max dose I could find in the literature).  The typical patient uses about 4 mg four times a day. I have found that I have had to increase as much as 16mg four times a day to see adequate glucose changes.  It's ease of use and small size makes it easier to take than some, but I have yet to find it's stable dosage for ME."


"I started Ampyra five weeks ago. The first full day I was miserable with nausea but over the next few days the nausea lessened. Three weeks into taking it I realized that I wasn't tripping anymore and my right leg footdrop was all but gone. Now I'm trying to strengthen my leg muscles and walking on the treadmill and riding the exercise bike everyday. I've had RRMS for 17 years. Four years ago I was easily walking three miles a day without any problems, but over those last few years I was weakening, tripping, falling. I couldn't even walk a half mile. I was in a leg brace and using a cane frequently. Just seeing a set of stairs I was going to have to climb put me "over the edge". Now I'm going up the stairs and starting to walk much better."


"Had a slipped disc with sciatic pain diagnosed before new year.

Had been having heart palpitations, anxiousness, blurry vision and having suicidal thoughts. Felt could be due to the drugs I'm taking and turns out... it's all from lyrica. "


"I'm 15 and using this birth control to regulate my period. This is the first pill I've been on and I've been taking it for 5 days only. It gave me serious side effects and an allergic reaction. I have a red rash on my face, severe stomach pains and vomiting."


"Been on this for 4 months now and it has brought relief that I hadn't had in yrs. I have too many issues to name. My dose was upped this month to 7.5. I found that after abt 5 days the patch is wearing off. Last month the dr changed the rx to every 5 days instead of 7 but this presented a bit of a problem w/ins filling it. Since there's only 4 in a box I had to go back on day 20 to fill again (w/additional copy). Still, every 5 days was better but I did still have breakthrough pain. The prob for me was that the dr changed me from 4x a day tramadol to 3x a day so I still had issues This is my 2nd week on higher dose and back to 4x day tram. The patch is good but I have rash/itch at app site and contstipation that I didn't have w/Norco."


"I have had a very positive experience over the last almost 5 years. I am 26 with NO children. Yes the insertion is uncomfortable, but only for a minute or so, just a couple of cramps.  My doctor gave me Misoprostol (softens the cervix) to take the night before and morning of the insert. I also started ibuprofen 600 mg every 6 hours starting the day before. I had minimal spotting and cramping after. And for the last almost 5 years I have very little cramping, no periods, no mood swings and pain with intercourse only 2 or 3 times. I plan on getting another one and recommend Mirena to everyone!"


"I had a emergancy c section 23 weeks ago I have normal bowel movements but have been in constant pain since my section I had a X-ray and it showed fecal impact (full of poo) the gp have me these tablets and they are horrible I took 2 before bed as recomended woke up during the night in servere pain I'd rather be in labour than have these pains I had severe diarrhoea with blood. I won't be using these again ever. My stomach is still  bloated and I'm being sick I wouldn't recommend them to anyone and never give to children please it would haunt them for the rest of their lives"


"Been taking promethazine 10mg for years now to get rid of motion sickness. I can’t travel on public transport. But
Then I noticed after running out of my prescription that there was 25mg Phenergan you could buy at the chemist with 56 tablets. So
I saw you could take them to help you sleep so I started taking them with my zoplicone sleeping tablets which didn’t really work (shouldn't be taken together).  The usual dose for sleeping in 25mg to 50mg night but I have been taking more than that (which is dangereous)   . Some advice would be very much appreciated"


"I just experienced my first Synvisc injection yesterday. It was my first time with Synvisc after previously having a cortisone injection in my right knee. The cortisone offered no relief at all, plus I experienced redness in my face and agitation to the point that I couldn't sleep for two days. My initial apprehension with the Synvisc shot was over how the actual shot would feel. Bravery is not my strong point!. I have not had enough time to evaluate how well it works yet but I can already feel an improvement. They drained a lot of fluid from my knee beforehand which I hear helps it work. The actual procedure and shot was virtually painless. The P.A. took his time and honestly, I didn't even feel a little pinch. I was very very pleased."


"I HATED this birth control. It worked as in it prevented pregnancy and it regulated my periods, but the side effects were so horrible that I had to stop taking it.

While I was on this birth control, I gained an extra 15-20 pounds that I COULD NOT LOSE despite the hours in the gym and the healthy eating. I felt like I was going insane... Hot flashes, extreme mood swings. The mood swings happened all of the time, not just during my period. It didn't help alleviate cramps or anything. I will never ever ever take this again."


"I tried Nucynta, it did not help the pain. I had a headache from it and it made my right leg numb. I had a stroke 20 years ago. "


"Before I begin I want to explain that I am 18 and I have NEVER had unprotected sex (until this time) and never used a contraception pill. I had unprotected sex on August 29 and again on August 30, he did not cum in me but I was very scared about precum and skeptical whether or not he might of pulled out on time and some of it might of gotten in me. He told me he was 80% sure he didn't, but that wasn't enough for me. On August 30, I took Aftera about 3hrs after having intercouse. The symptoms were crazy, I had cramps, dizziness, nausea and I began spotting which scared the heck out of me about 3 days before I got my period. But I got my period on Sep 18 on time!"


"All my life I have been lucky enough to have near perfect skin, however after starting university it all turned terrible. I had large pimples along my jawline mostly but also all over my face that were very painful under the skin which came to a pussy head (cute I know). I broke out more then I had ever in my life I went to the Dr and I was prescribed Doxycycline for 2 weeks it made my skin worse to start off with but after a week and a half it started to clear. Now I have the occasional small whitehead but it seems to have gotten my skin out of its bad phase thank goodness."


"This is also my first YI and while a wait for my doctors appointment my sister suggested I use Monistat. This is day one of treatment and I want this part of my body ripped out. The pain, the burning and itching is unbearable. I ran to the shower and stood there for what it seemed forever but the burning didn't stop. I will try some of the recommendations many of you offered, lay down and watch Netflix until (cross fingers) I forget about the pain."


"It works great for the symptoms of my allergies and hay fever.  It does make me extremely sleepy though.  But, I suppose that is better then having a pounding headache or a sneezing/coughing attack."


"I have been using spiriva for about 2 months.  I find my breathing has greatly improved.  I'm not using my albuterol several times a day anymore, maybe a couple of times a week.  The only thing I have noticed is that I am getting severe muscle cramps in the front of my lower legs.  This happens mostly at night when I go to bed.  Has anyone else noticed this problem?"


"Prozac really saved my life 6 years ago when I was suffering from major Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Insomnia related to it. Tried to stop it few times but always had to come back. No sexual side effects even at 40mg/day. Unofortunately it seemed that the medicine had pooped-out on me after 5 years and I currently started taking Paxil."


"Recently we made big changes in our lives, which set off such a bad

anxiety reaction! I have dealt with this on and off for years! I was already on Tramadol for RA and a bad back.

I have been on Xanax and was put on other popular anxiety meds, but always noticed how calm my Tramadol made me.

I stopped the new meds as they did not do much! If it wasn't for my Tramadol I don't know what I would do.

I wish doctors would research this so it be subscribed for anxiety!"


"Little to no relief for knee pain!"


"I'm reading all these reviews and agree how effective this medicine is in dealing with chronic and cancer pain.  Was on it for 12 years for back and breast cancer pain. "


"The doctor gave me a sample of this when I complained of congestion. I took two tablets, which may have been too much since I developed the runs. I'll try it again, but only one tablet. Or, I may just get Robitussin since the doctor said that Mucinex is a magnified version of Robitussin."


"Has changed my life.  I didn't know how bad my anxiety was until I got relief from Atarax!!  I don't even need anywhere near the full dose to relieve my constant building thoughts of what I should be doing or may not be able to do because of my other debilitating illnesses.  I am so grateful!!  I no longer feel constantly wound so tight I might snap!"


"I have been on Geodon for 3 years now, and I like it better than other bipolar medicines! But the downside is I forget things really easy, and also I can't remember things from years ago like I should. People tell me things I have no idea what they are talking about. I manic every once in a while, I take 60mg in mornings and 60mg at bedtime. It hasn't gave me trouble with my heart, and my blood pressure stays great. I hope this helps. I am trying to cope with it without changing medicines."


"I have been taking Otezla for about 8 weeks.  I experienced nausea, frequent bowel movements, headaches, and a lack of appetite although the severity tapered off after a few weeks, they still continue. As I did more research into others who have taken it I have experienced 2 trips to the ER due to inflammation in my feet and I feel so fatigued and don't want to do anything...but I feel better if I move around a bit...but I get wore out pretty easy and then my feet are killing me. I'd like to say I feel better than when I started... and in some ways I do.  I used to feel like my joints were fusing together, I couldn't walk up or down stairs, and I couldn't open a bottle of water. I feel a lot looser now and can do some things. I still hurt."


"My Doctor prescribed Mirapex for my Restless Legs Syndrome and it made me extremely sick! I couldn't even get out of my bed for almost 24 hours and felt like a train wreck! I went back to Sinemet and it works great and is very inexpensive with my insurance."


"No more effective or longer lasting than aspirin."


"I am a 49 year old female that has been suffering for 2  years with painful, heavy periods due to fibroids. First 2 days always had to double up with tampon and pad both; My gyn dr. prescribed me Lysteda also known as Tranexamic Acid. Dosage is 2 tablets, 3x a day, for 5 days. It started working immediately, cutting the blood flow by 50-80%. I no longer had to double up protection and I can now sleep through the night. I still had some cramping on the 2nd day, but OTC pain relief helped that.  Side effects: 1 hr after taking the pills, light headed/slightly dizzy; minor headaches (nothing unmanageable). I found the pills to be too large to swallow, so had to cut them in half or thirds. Overall I love this medication, it has given me my life back."


"I take this for Bipolar disoder 2, with severe depressive episodes. Helps tremendously for my depression symptoms, as well as aiding in controlling mood swings along with a mood stabilizer. Helps with insomnia tremendously. Sometimes the daytime sedation can last a long time at higher doses, and you'll probably get dry mouth, constipation, or blurry vision/dizziness, at least at first. This medication works great for a lot of people when other things fail, just be aware that the trade off is that some annoying side effects are fairly common. Myself, the benefits far outweigh the negatives."


"I had horrible sinus pressure headaches 3-4 days a week. It got to where OTC medication would only work for 3-4 hours then the pressure would be back. I went to an ENT who said I had rhinitis and gave me a prescription for Dymista and sent me for allergy testing. Came back I was allergic to a lot of things. The 1st week on dymista, I had 2 headaches. By the end of the 1st month, I had not had a headache in 2 weeks. I missed 6 weeks in, and the headache came back. I won't do that again!!! This medicine has been a huge game changer for me. A lot of reviewers talk about the taste. You need to shake the bottle lightly before using, and make sure and look at your toes with your head slightly bent down. Then the spray won't go down your throat."


"Thank God i read the reviews before applying this gel, I was planning to apply it all over my face just like my dermatologist suggested but after reading about the possible effects I decided to be cautious and apply the gel on one spot only, Acanya gel basically burned my skin,I have a red patch and it looks irritated, I will not use this anymore, I rather wait for the pimples to heal than burn my skin with this gel
I've been triying apple cider vinegar as a toner at nighttime to balance the PH of the skin and control the excess oiliness and I can see an improvement, mix half distilled water   half ACV"


"I started taking this medicine for its obvious indication as birth control, but also wanted to get on it for it's anti-androgenic properties.
I've noticed crazy mood swings; I've had several anxiety attacks, and depression that has become out of control. I haven't really noticed a decrease in acne (although I never suffered from it to begin with, I still have the occasional couple zits on my chin). However, I have noticed a decrease in speed of growth of unwanted facial hair.
Decreased sex drive, nausea, and weight loss are also a side effect I have experienced. I am just now getting over the nausea. Also--I had breakthrough bleeding for about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm going to try it a couple more months to see if I regulate the hormones better."


"I took this drug a few years ago when I was 18, I stopped having panic attacks but still felt anxious at times but i was still much more outgoing. I feel like it made me want to drink all the time, but i felt much better then i did without it. I remember waking up one morning and thinking this is what normal people without depression feel like. I stopped taking it after about a year because I felt like it was working and I didn't have any withdraw symptoms except one day where I felt like I had the stomach flu for one day/ feeling severely depressed a few months after taking it. I have been on 37.5 mg for a month now and just started  75. gives me restless legs and a little insomnia, not much difference in depression but i feel less anxious"


"Have been on the shot for 2 year's now it helped me recover from alcohol but I also found it helps my major anxiety and sleep I don't think they have done enough studies on it to see what else it can help whit"


"I used this in the hospital after I had spine surgery. I used it with morphine, and it seemed to help a lot."


"Gelnique gave me headaches and this was one of the side effects. I had to stop taking the medicine."


"I started taking lisinopril 10 mg about two months ago it was ok untill two weeks ago stools started to get real soft then got dirreaha very gassy wind all day.  I  never had problems with my bowels I'm 79 years old so I'm going off them and then going on another by pill."


"TriNessa was a miracle worker! It helped my periods, my breakouts, and caused me NO weight gain!! I would definitely recommend to anybody."


"I've never left a review for anything before, but I relied so heavily on this site the last 13 weeks that I felt like I should share my experience.

I've never suffered from terrible acne, but now, in my mid-twenties I've been getting more cysts then ever before. I went to the dermatologist where he put me on Epiduo. I really wanted it to work, but the number of cysts on my face only increased. As soon as one would go away two more would pop-up and for the last 9 weeks or so have had 4-6 at any given time. 13 weeks in I finally gave up and started using Differin, so we'll see how that works."


"My 6 yr old son has been on 20mg of Vyvanse for the past month and a half. I was so reluctant to start him on any type of medicine, but his inability to focus, keep his hands to himself, stay in his seat at school, etc., was affecting the learning of his classmates and causing him to have a hard time making friends. I saw a difference in him (and his teacher did, too), immediately after the 1st dose, he was able to focus, was making friends, etc. I have decided to try him on something different because he's losing weight and he's not the happy, sweet boy that I know he is. He's moody, he gets upset extremely easily, he's grumpy, and is SUPER serious about everything, he finds nothing funny. Its definitely altered his personality, even off the meds."


"I started taking Cialis to treat ED after prostate removal and find it to be helping me significantly, been using it for about 5 weeks, even though I have not had a good enough erection necessary for intercourse, it is getting there slowly. I did develop what appears to be related to Cialis (since it started when I started to take this medicine), I developed a small red patch on the tip of my tongue, I wonder if anyone has or had this issue. Thank you"


"I have been using quasense since 2011 due to heavy periods my Urogynecologist thought it would be a good idea to switch to this birth control. I have noticed after a year I stopped getting periods despite taking that week off each month, but I was told this is normal. I am happy not to have really painful periods & don't have any complaints."


"I had a urinary tract infection and the doctor ordered it to help me urinate less until the antibiotics kicked in. It probably did help for that but generally I haven't seen a big difference. I would say that I am about the same as I usually am. The first time I took it was in the evening and I was extremely tired and wanted to sleep around 8pm )I usually only go to bed/sleep around midnight. Yesterday I was completely zonked. I slept for most of the day. Last night I was looking online on my phone and was searching can a UTI make you tired and came across this site. I realized that my vision is blurry (I thought it was just being over tired) and that it can cause "fatique". I hadn't put these down to side effects. I am stopping immediately"


"Not very happy with what this is doing to my body. I was prescribed Reclipsen and I'm now in my second month and symptoms have gotten worse. These include: Swollen, tender breasts (which I wouldn't mind except for I have fibrocystic breast making even hugging my husband painful), severe fatigue (I thought it might have been the Texas heat but it's gotten worse even since it has cooled down), SUPER decreased sex drive (I guess that's a good form of birth control), and hard to lose any weight! These symptoms maybe be magnified since I have a preexisting hormonal problem. Hopefully I can get on something else soon!"


"This is an amazing drug that doesn't have the same problems for which narcotic meds are known."


"Magnesium Citrate is the nuclear option. If this stuff doesn't work, you ought to think about going to E.R.  Only use this when you can stay home for about 12 hours. I drink 1 ten ounce bottle and about 16 ounces of water. If it doesn't kick in after four hours I'll drink another half bottle and drink more water. The more water you drink, the better and sooner it will work. Plan on multiple trips to the toilet and when you're sure there couldn't possibly be any more, stay put for another hour. Also, and this is important, once you drink it, don't trust a fart!!!"


"I fell off my longboard and made quite idiotic dressing decisions.  After 3 days I saw a doctor who prescribed this and silver sulfadiazine.  After 10 days it completely healed. Unfortunately I have had another tumble, this time with broken wrist and 10 open wounds. On it again. Trusting old Keflex to help again."


"This medicine made me have terrible uterine bleeding for 75 days in a row accompanied by terrible uterine pain. It's been a full week since I stopped the medicines and the bleeding and pain have both stopped. My cysts have shrunk to half their size, but I'm not sure if the cysts were ever a problem to begin with."


"My daughter just turned two and has failed every conventional method of treating her eczema. We have seen multiple specialists and after much consideration ( due to the warnings and side effects) we decided to try Elidel. After 3 days she was almost clear. By one week she was free of eczema, severe itching  ( which is by far the worst symptom) and redness/ dry skin. We stopped the medication as directed and within one day she was in a FULL flare. We thought perhaps we did not use it long enough? We tried it again daily for another week and here we are again back in a full flare after daily use for two weeks! So discouraging! Has anyone exp. this???"


"Pros: clearer skin, no hair loss (happened to me on another pill) minimal bloating, no break through bleeding, no tiredness, no irritability, no breat tenderness and most importantly no pregnancy

Cons: headaches from time to time, slightly decreased sex drive and slightly increased food cravings"


"I just got skyla inserted. All I felt was medium, period- like cramps. To everyone thinking about skyla, don't be nervous."


"I've been on this birth control for about a year now and it is definitely effective pregnancy prevention. I used to get light back cramps when I got my period before taking this and I'd say they have increased in intensity but I only get them one day now. Other than that I have no complaints. My period has become more predictable (about Wednesday through Sunday) and I haven't noticed any other side effects."


"I was prescribed 37.5mg due to weight gain caused by being on Prozac for 6 months. I gained about 30lbs. 160-190. I had been working out and dieting regularly and saw no change in my weight. And I was ALWAYS hungry. I've been on the medication for a few days now, and within 30 minutes of taking my first dose, my appetite was gone. I haven't felt hungry since starting the medication. I have no urges to binge or endulge in any foods whatsoever for the first time in months. I've also lost 2lbs in just a few days. Will check in after a few weeks for progress."


"Hello all! I never do these things but I wanted to share my experience with everyone. In 2013 I was diagnosed with plaque psoriasis :/ ointments helped at first but eventually my condition became worse. My self confidence was at an all time low, I couldn't go outside without feeling embarrassed. My doctor recommended Humira.  I have been on Humira for about 5 months now. I saw results in the first week. I was almost completely clear, I couldn't believe it. As time went on, my condition started improving day by day. Today IM COMPLETEY CLEAR!!!!!!!!!! I can't express my gratitude towards this medication enough. I haven't had any side effects in the five months I've been on it (knock on wood). I feel great and look great once again! DO IT!"


"I had extreme fatigue with back pain, headache and nausea for 3-4 weeks.  I couldn't sleep but was tired all the time.  After 2-3 days taking the 6 day Dosepak I felt 80% better.  I was still a little fatigued and my back still hurt some but I truly felt 80% better.  I am starting day 4 tomorrow and hope to continue on this path as life has been absolutely miserable the last few weeks."


"I've tried many medications for Fibromyalgia. Most of which made me tired and lethargic all the time. They also made me sick constantly! Ever since I started taking the Savella, I've felt much better on a day to day basis. The Savella doesn't help with all the symptoms, but it takes away a lot of the burning feeling/sensation and also helps with the anxiety and depression as well. I wouldn't trade it for anything else!"


"I started this birth control in February 2012. The numbing stuff hurt just like a normal shot, but after that I could just feel her touching my arm nothing else. For about a week later my arm was bruised and slightly sore when I lifted things, but nothing bad. My arm is fine now, just a tiny scar and of course you can feel the tiny implant in your arm when touched. I think its awesome! I had spotting for a few days the very next month, but I haven't had any bleeding or spotting since them. I have gained maybe five pounds since starting this, but also haven't been keeping up on working out or eating healthy so who knows which it's from. No mood swings or loss in sex drive. Everything is great and its awesome to not have any pregnancy worries."


"I started metaprolol 12.5 mg once a day 6 weeks ago after having an electrical cardioconversion for a rapid, irregular heartbeat. I take blood pressure and pulse 2times/ day and it is averaging 107/71, pulse 63- working well. It took me a good 4 weeks to adapt to the tough side effects though. I felt very tired to the point of falling asleep during the day, was worn out if I walked to far or even stood too long, felt lightheadedness, nauseated, was afraid to drive. I'm glad I stuck it out, the side effects finally abated. Hang in there, the bad side effects can go away. For the record I'm a 69 year old woman, 5`4" 128 lbs. I take the pill at night."


"I have been on spiro for almost a year now. I was prescribed 50mg a day for issues like cystic hormonal acne and dandruff, all related to seborrheic dermatitis.

In addition to the spiro, I also take Ethinyl Estradiol based birth control, a generic version of Ortho Tri Cyclen.

Since taking the spiro, I haven't had a single breakout! Not even like a tiny blemish. It's clearly worked as intended. It has minimized scalp issues as well, although my face is still oily but I suspect that is connected to a moisturizer I have yet to find a replacement for.

Notable side effect: definite, jiggly weight gain in hips, butt, and thighs that I never had b4! This is contrary to lots of reviews I've seen for Spiro that say it has helped women lose weight"


"The only problem I have with this medication so far is how expensive it is.  So far the only side effects I have had are a light-headed feeling. Similar to a feeling of an antihistimine with psuedophedrine in the mix. I am already starting to feel better."


"This is a quality product."


"I've been taking Pristiq (50 mg) for the past 8 or 9 weeks for depression. For the past 10 years, I'd taken Effexor XR (450 mg) for depression and panic attacks. It completely kicked the panic.  I was also taking 450 mg of Wellbutrin SR with the Effexor and still take it along with the Pristiq. The first 4 days were awful since I had stopped the Effexor cold turkey, but after a couple of weeks, I began feeling better on the Pristiq. So far, Pristiq is working well for me, I have more energy, which is huge for me (I also have fibromyalgia and sleep disorders). "


"I've been on Effexor for quite a few years now taking 112.5mg.  I didn't have any problems with this med but have been wanting to simplify my regime.  So 112.5 to 75mg saw no real withdrawal or return of depression or anxiety.  But, 75mg to 37.5mg, I cannot bear.  I feel awful, irritable, nasty, and even aggressive at times.  Imagine waking up every morning for 2 weeks being 50 Shades of Pissed! My personality changed if feels like. Wondering if anyone has experienced this.  It would appear that Effexor is effective for my anxiety."


"I decided to discontinue after the 4th infusion.  Very expensive which might have been worth it had it improved diarrhea.  Instead with each infusion ulcers in my mouth flared worse (they were already there - Crohns in the mouth), severe fatigue, all over body pain, worsened sinus problems, weird tendon-like pain in hands & feet. all of which got worse and lasted longer which each subsequent infusion.  My last infusion's symptoms lasted for weeks!"


"This medicine was WAY too strong for me.  I'm 5'8" and 135 pounds, but the minimum dose knocked me out the first night I started taking it, I had twitchy, bizarre dreams, woke up the next morning feeling "stoned", had a headache and stomachache, shaky hands and the jitters all day and my pupils were hugely dilated.  This was all just after 1 dose of the timed-release tabs.  Not a good choice for me."


"I've recently started using clonidine. I am experiencing dry mouth and tiredness. However I also feel my mood has changed. I feel down and anxious. Not sure whether I should continue or give up."


"The nausea that came with this is unbearable but it's working. I guess I'm not eating enough with it!?"


"I have been getting up 3-4 times every night and finally decided to try medication again. (previously tried Flomax which did nothing for me)  Rapaflo, after 4 days gave me only a headache, diarrhea and at best a 20% flow increase. I still got up several times during the night, maybe one less time than previous. The side effects and miniscule benefit made it a no-brainer to stop taking this useless medication. A waste of $78."


"I have been on Gianvi for 8 months now. At first I was an emotional wreck, like almost all the reviews on here, but after your body gets used to the added hormone it does go away. It took about 3 months for the acne to go away also. After about the 3 month mark Gianvi was perfect for me. I have no bloating when my period starts, my period is perfectly on schedule, less cramping and bleeding than before, no more migraines, and no mood swings. Its almost like I'm not even on my period anymore. But, as someone said before, you have to try it to know if it'll work for you."


"I have used this medicine on several occasions for nausea and it works great also calms the nerves. Never got a headache or other side effects."


"My mother has Alzheimer's Disease and lately she started crying and getting aggressive. This medication has controlled her behavior and her emotions 100%. Thank you very much."


"This is the only one that works for me and it really does work half an hour after taking it.  This is important for me as our trips out in our boat are very spur of the moment.  Sadly I can no longer get this is the UK."


"I sure hope me writing this can help someone avoid the prolonged agony I experienced on Trintellix. I started with a 5 mg dose for one month. After about 5 days, I started having itching on my external vulva.  By the 7th day, I almost went to the ER, but by that time, due to all my scratching, I had developed a pseudomonas aeruginos infection. Four courses of antibiotics later, the unbearable, constant, relentless, and ever-present itching was still there, with some hives. Though the infection was gone, the itching continued. I have never had intense itching like this--the more I scratched, the more I itched, and I couldn't even sleep. Two days after stopping Trintillix, the itching was gone. Two months of hell. Fixed drug eruption."


"I had very bad acne and  the Doctor prescribed me some duac. Within days I could see results and within a few weeks it had all cleared up. It changed my life I now feel so much better about myself"


"Made me thirsty to the point of headaches at first, as well as insomnia at first, but then it evened out. It helped me concentrate and stay awake, and I felt generally happier and more active. 100 mgs made me ridiculously manic and upset, but 50 mg was perfect for me. I simply quit it when it stopped working."


"I love my Nuvaring! I just stick it in for three weeks and forget it's even there. The first few months I was constantly checking to make sure it was still there because I couldn't feel it. I don't recommend doing this because touching it can make it shift around and cause you to feel its presence.

I was on Yaz before and it was a huge pain having to take a pill everyday because if I took it a few hours too early or late, I got my period twice a month. With Nuvaring, my periods are much shorter and lighter than ever before.

However, everybody is different so what works for me may or may not work for you. The only thing you can do is give it a try and see how you like it."


"Although the insertion was excruciatingly painful (Keep in mind I have a super sensitive cervix i.e even pap smears are uncomfortable) I loved my Mirena and I had it in for 3 years. After the first 6 months I didn't have my period at all, at first that made me nervous and I thought I was pregnant (I wasn't) but after I got used to it, not having a period was amazing. The only reason I had to take it out is because I have never had kids so my Mirena slipped out of place and was causing some mild discomfort. Overall I loved it and if I wasn't so traumatized from the first insertion I would get it again!"


"Take for migraines not sure it does much good as I still get them twice a month it did however see off my sciatica after 3 years of constant pain!"


"I'm a 30yo male and I recently picked up a painful candida infection. Ironically, this was worsened by the doctor prescribing me antibiotics in the initial belief that it must be a bacterial STI. Men can and do get thrush! Anyway, this med eased the burning immediately and cleared it up entirely after 7 days."


"Tramadol is about the most effective drug in the world for depression - for immediate, short term relief ONLY though. During the initial dosing period, 100mg twice a day utterly obliterates any negative thinking or depression symptoms. It delivers results immediately, vs the necessary patience of waiting a few days or weeks with traditional SSRI drugs.

However, tolerance DOES build to tramadaol at a pace far more rapidly then with traditional anti-depressants. I had 2 months of solid relief from 100mg 2x daily, but by the third month this does barely made a difference and my mood continued to sink. Instead of upping my dose, I went back on Zoloft which delivers less immediate, but more consistent long term results for me."


"Was diagnosed with Influenza and was prescribed Tamiflu. Cost me $140 out of the pocket. Took 2 pills and felt worse than I did before taking them. Vomiting was horrible. Then had to pay to go back to doctor because of all the vomiting. Gave me new prescriptions. Will just ride the flu out next time. Cost me more than just letting it take it's course. Tamiflu definitely not worth the cost or vomiting. Contacted drug company and no reimbursements are given."


"An update from my post in April 2013.  I have been on Stribild for over two years now.  I have been undetectable since (two months after starting).  I have had no side effects and it's easy to take.  I take it every morning with breakfast (that works for me).  Stribild is great, I have no complaints.  Gilead copay assistance makes my copay free; so that's fantastic as well.  It's devastating to find out the news you're HIV positive but it's great to know there's medicines like Stribild to make that situation manageable."


"I've had this implant for about 2 1/2 weeks now and have not had bleeding, cramping, or any other that other stuff, but what I do have a serious pain at the injection site. How long is this going to last. It's so bad some times I can't move my left arm in fear of the pain."


"Our baby girl had eczema and the normal oat bath & moisturizing routine was not helping. We had to see a Pediatric Dermatologist who prescribed EpiCream for regular use and Hydrocortisone cream for the more stubborn instances. We were honestly sceptical about using EpiCream and did not think this overpriced product will help, but nevertheless gave it a try. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the product worked very well for our baby and the eczema almost disappeared within 48 hours of usage. I have to agree with the reviewer earlier who mentioned that the cream creates more of a stinging sensation for the baby than a tingling sensation as mentioned by the manufacturers. Happy to be proven wrong in this instance."


"I've been on Belviq since April 9th 2015. I'm down 20Lbs since then maybe more! This pill has been soo different for me it is teaching me not to pick and snack after I've had my meals. I really try and watch my carb intake and it's working. Also weight seems to come off slow and I guess thats a good thing!! Only side effect is coughing but it seems to be getting better!! I love it!!!"


"I've had moderate, treatment resistant acne since I was about 14. I am now 21 and I started Claravis 14 weeks ago. I noticed my breakouts have been slightly worse for these first few months and I breakout around my mouth particularly bad and it looks like herpes and it's very embarrassing. However my back/chest are completely clear (they had mild acne before) and my cheeks have been clearer than usual. I'm hoping the pimples on my mouth will go away soon."


"I have Multiple Sclerosis and I have chronic back and legs pain along with headaches and I have tried about everything else in the book and nothing seems to work except this. Take 1, 15, 20 minutes later it kicks in and pain is gone for a while (about 5 hours)."


"I switched from Loestrin 24 Fe to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo after being on the former for over a year and a half and still not having predictable periods.  Ortho has regulated my period, which was miraculous to me, especially since I also have a thyroid condition which makes it even more unpredictable, and I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding/spotting. One thing I did notice on Ortho, however, is a new moodiness I've never had before.  I found myself crying over silly things and swinging in and out of depressed states daily, which is very scary to me because I am usually the 'guy' in my relationships without the emotional tendencies that most women have.  I just hope it lessens, though, because otherwise this birth control is great."


"Wouldn't know...got charged $40 for 2 days' worth, which I just can't afford."


"I was really surprised to see a post from Joanzie (taken for 10 years or more) November 15, 2016 today when she indicated her pharmacy could no longer get it.  I have taken Desipramine (Generic
 is Norpramin) for nearly 10 years now and have no problems getting it Amneal makes 10 mg pills, but I am now switching to 50 mg. LGM Pharma makes it, but I'm sure there are others.  I have used it since 911, as it really did a number on me.  If I forget to take it, I know it, as I end up in lala land, as my head just feels like it is detached from my body.  As long as I take the drug when prescribed, I'm steady Eddie!"


"This Friday will be 5 weeks since I've gotten my Mirena. When I got it put in I had been off my period for 5 days. It was crampy getting it placed but was not as bad as I thought it would be. I was a little light headed after wards and had to sit for a minute before driving home. I spotted very lightly for about two days and then on the third day I started what seemed like a heavy period. I've been bleeding heavy since then with a few light spotting days. I'd go almost a whole day without bleeding thinking it was about to stop but then I would start again. The cramps would get so bad that T3s didn't even help much. These last 3 days I've started to notice small tissue clots in the blood and the smell is bad. I see my OB Friday."


"Left a very unpleasant taste in my mouth the entire time."


"Very little relief and side effects out way benefits. I was on it for chronic pain "


"I went on this to help get a jump start on my weight loss. I have lost 34.2 pounds in 3 months and am so happy with the results. I can really tell that I have lost the weight. I have so much energy than before. I would recommend this to anyone that is seriously overweight. It's literally saving my life."


"I have used this product from time to time.  How badly it burns and itches depends on how long I've let my YI go and how bad that has gotten. The worse the YI, the worse the burning and itching would be.  This time around,  I caught the symptoms of my infection early.  And although the itching and a little burning is still there,  it is tolerable and nothing I lose sleep over. I usually use the monistat 7 because I feel the monistat 1 and 3 with their high milligrams of the meds only make the experience with the itching and burning worse. 7 days are drawn out where the meds are not that strong.  And just after a couple times of using it, the symptoms start to get a whole lot better.  If the side effects are too much, use Diflucan from a doc"


"This is my 2nd round. I'm an idiot and started back a year later for the hell of it. This medicine is the best thing you can do if you want to quit. It makes it easy. I've quit every way you can and this is by far the best route. There's 2 things- Just make sure you drink a glass of milk with it, and you're going to have some crazy dreams. But that's nothing."


"Had to take Casodex as part of treatment for Prostate Cancer. Seems to have worked with only minor side effects."


"I have been on Keppra for about 15 yrs. I received my Epilepsy from a bad car accident when I was young. I received my first Epileptic Seizure when I was 27 yrs old. I have tried every single seizure med made for the severity of my Grand Mal seizures. I now take 5- 500mg pills plus 3- 100mg caps of Dilantin. That is 300 mg shy of brain surgery. I am at piece w/ myself. I know what I have tried, what worked and what didn't. My seizures are extreme. I keep my blood level Therapeutic and have fewer seizures so I know it is working. I still get Grand Mal seizures, just not as many. That proves to me it works. That is all I care about, ME!"


"I have been taking 100mg once daily for 7 weeks.  I have OCD with a racing mind, slight panics and obsessive thoughts. I re-read emails I send over and over... Within  2 days of starting the drug I found my racing mind wake ups in the middle of the night had stopped, so I am more relaxed at night and not in fear of the hours spent with music and strange thought playing on a loop in my head.  My Doctor said that my night time relaxing was unusual because people often find themselves suffering insomnia.    After now getting used to the new found night calm I have discovered that I am actually still sort of suffering the issues but I am more relaxed about it, so I still wake and roll around but without the anxiety and high stress that I had."


"The 300 Mg tablets are huge, other than that a great drug"


"I find Norco a great working pain releiver if taken before pain gets worse. No side effects for me."


"I found that this medicine helped me more than anything else I have ever tried."


"This medication worked well for me! 200 mg and I was rock hard for hours wow. Viagra was weaker for me I don't know why. I got burned by a topical medicine cream [FDA is a joke and a half] anyway insurance will ONLY sadly pay for 6 pills a month] sick right? very very sick. Anyway this worked better for me than viagra. Reason being is must be genetics that .1% difference in humans does make a huge difference for medical compounds. Also Avanafil is structurally different vastly from Viagra. Nitric Oxide effect is increased  therefore GMP increases thus leading to better erections. Try all PDE 5 inhibitors before you say they won't work because what may work for one may NOT work for another."


"I've been taking this pill for about 10 months & like the others, the only good thing about this pill is the fact that I'm not pregnant. This is my first time taking birth control so at first, I wasn't able to tell the side effects. Until later on, it got so much worse. I had terrible mood swings to the point people were referring me to other brands. My period was extremely light as if I barely even had it at all, which made me worried sometimes. I lost weight which is the opposite of what I want & my skin got so bad. The worst was really just the depression I occurred during this time & my " craziness ". I wouldn't recommend anyone to be on this & I'll definitely ask my doctors for a different brand."


"I have ordered this product, the Adipex-P and it really works for me..Thank you so much!"


"This medicine has worked pretty good for me. After having constant health problems such as weight gain, bad acne, and not having a period but once a year for 3 years and being told that it was "ok",  I finally went to the OB/Gyne for another opinion. Found out that I had PCOS, and was placed on Ortho-Cyclen. This medicine started to clear my acne after 3 weeks of taking it and I started losing weight while on it. I lost a total of 6 pounds the first month and 8 the second month. The only drawback was that my period lasted for an entire 31 days the first month, but was told beforehand that it could last that long because of the time I went without a period."


"I am actually a physician (weird I know), and always had a problem with anxiety. At one point, it was truly affecting my life. I could cope and work, but like many of us, constantly had the fear of "panicking" or "losing control." It started to affect my work, so I actually became a patient and asked my doctor for some help. I've never had trouble dealing with the stress mentally, but the physical symptoms just drove me crazy and made the anxiety worse. I'd get shaky, warm, uncomfortable, etc., etc. On THE FIRST DAY I took 10mg, my life changed.  Every single negative body symptom I experienced was gone. My confidence came back and honestly, I'm a better physician because of it. Simply amazing."


"Taking this was THE WORST decision. I took it around 11pm and woke up at 5am with excruciating cramps and severe nausea. I tried to make it to the bathroom but nearly passed out and ended up crying on the floor, completely soaked and dripping in sweat. 12 hours later and I still feel dreadful. NEVER AGAIN."


"Absolutely saved my life. I've tried numerous drugs over 15 years and this is a miracle. No side effects whatsoever.  I feel better than I ever have in my life"


"My partner had erectile problems. Started to lose confidence. Took 25 mg Cialis every other day. The difference was amazing. We couldn't stop having sex. By The Way, he is 65 years old. We are very pleased with the results!"


"I started the phenetermine at the beginning of this month and in just one week I went from 174 to 159... I was elated I couldn't believe how fast I was losing weight, but now I'm stuck I haven't lost anymore weight sometimes I even go up a pound or two. I've hit a wall and it's almost like I'm wasting the pills now and I don't know what to do I'm feeling very discouraged. Help?"


"I take it to sleep I love it because I feel rested the next morning and helps my day go smother and helps me fall asleep with out thinking too much. "


"I have general anxiety disorder and I'm prone to panic attacks. Being afraid of benzo and it's addictiveness, I got this prescribed. So far it has worked great if I take 2 pills at once, and  the effect lasts for about 10 hours. I haven't really felt the hangover part people talk about, nor have I experienced headaches. The only thing I really have to complain about is that the breathing can get almost too relaxed at times, so when I fall asleep I wake up with a shortness of breath, as if my lungs forgot to inhale. It's no big deal though, happens maybe 3 times a night and it wakes me up. And I guess it would be nice to have a pill that takes away anxiety but doesn't make you tired (I sleep like a baby after 30 minutes after taking atarax)"


"I'm a 25 year old female and my doctor prescribed Celexa to help me manage my anxiety. I've been on it just shy of 3 months. I started with 10 mg and increased to 20 mg after about 2 weeks. My initial side effects were dry mouth, decreased appetite, sleepiness and low libido. The first few nights I was on Celexa I also found myself suddenly waking up in the middle of the night in a panic. This also happened after my dose was increased. After almost 3 months on Celexa, all the side effects have disappeared, except my sex drive is completely non-existent. Overall I feel very relaxed and my anxiety symptoms have significantly decreased."


"My son had his first seizure at 18 yrs old. He has a brain injury from birth and very mild cerebral palsy affecting his right side. Went to ER and was referred to neurologist. Did a CT scan, blood work, EEG all normal except the injury to brain which showed no changes in size or concern. Was told not to drive for three months CA law. Was put on Keppra 500mg morning and night total 1000mg. Has not had a seizure and we will be following up with the neurologist  in 2 days to have his driving privileges reinstated with DMV. Very hard for him not being able to drive and having someone else do it. Regarding side affects none. Has taken medicine every day. Neurologist did say we will re evaluate stopping the medicne in 2ys."


"I am 19 and in college and have never been pregnant. I stopped taking birth control pills two months ago because I decided I wanted an IUD and I decided to get kyleena because it is a smaller device, lower hormones and lasts 5 years. Insertion was only uncomfortable because of the speculum, the actual insertion of the IUD was a small cramp. I was really afraid about the pain because I've heard from people that it really hurts and was very happy and surprised that insertion did not hurt with kyleena. I would recommend to everyone! Very happy with my choice thus far."


"I have tried many bipolar, mania medicines with none being the right one, however when my doctor prescribed Abilify it helped majorly in my life. I am on a combination of Abilify, Divalproex and Trazadone. All of which work in my favor. It is very comforting to know there is a medicine out there that understands bipolar patients."


"This medicine not only created more tension and worry for me whilst doing an assignment the night before, but I wasn't panicking which I naturally should be. This drug has made me forget certain aspects in life which I dread, this drug makes you happy externally, but not physically or mentally or emotionally. This drug has hindered my activities in life in general and I'm completely coming off all drugs and finding my true self now. I was actually glad the way I was in life previously. Peace."


"Med really did nothing for me"


"I have been on Stribild since April 2013 and started with a 57,500 viral load and 328 cd4.  Within a month my viral load was down to 25!  As of October 2013 the virus is undetectable and my cd4 is up to 585.  The only side effect is occasional loose stool but that's it--nothing else!  I take the pill every morning with breakfast.  It works great!"


"Some uncomfortable side effects like constipation. Other than that, the drug does an ok job with my Rheumatoid Arthritis pain."


"I've had a recurrent UTI for the past month and no other antibiotics had been working. Doctor prescribed this one 100 mg, twice a day every 12 hours, for five days. After my first dose, my urgency to urinate had subsided a lot. Nevertheless, by the second dose severe nausea, constipation, and fatigue began. I have been a zombie at work and just the thought of food makes me want to puke, even though I've been forcing myself to have at least three full meals a day (particularly when I take the medication). Have two more days to go, and I just wrote to my provider to see if I MUST finish it. The UTI symptoms are gone at this point yet the side effects are decreasing my quality of life by the minute."


"It helped me a little bit but I still had pain"


"So I got the paragard inserted july 2013 after the birth of my first child. The insertion was painful but nothing i couldn't handle. For the first 6 months everything was fine, then i started to get terrible cramps that were almost dibilitating. I also notice my period lasting longer, heavier and becoming more frequent. I waited almost a year to see if this would change. This past april, I bled every day of the month minus maybe 7 days. So my doctor recommended me try mirena to regulate my period. I just got the mirena last week, keeping my fingers crossed."


"I've been on Belviq one day and my body went crazy. I'm experiencing a cooling/menthol sensation throughout my entire body. It's weird. Vaginal pain as well. I'm so uncomfortable. I just want this out of my system. The drug is probably a great one that will do what it's supposed to but for me it's making me crazy. I'm not sure if I gave my body enough time to "detox" off phentermine. I took my last pill yesterday and started Belviq today so I'm not sure."


"I have just recently started taking the birth control Tri- Sprintec. I'm going for my 3rd week on it and so far I love it. I haven't had any change of mood, nausea or spotting. I haven't had any sexual relation yet while I've been on it so I can't really say how good it works at keeping me not pregnant. I will be definitly be doing an update. But so far in love love love it."


"Started on 20mg per day increasing after a few weeks.
At first I had the expected nausea, dizziness and feeling of being slightly out of it.  However I was told to push through and give them “time to settle”. Mistake!
My symptoms quickly worsened to hot flushes with profuse sweating and a pounding heartbeat where just being inside the house was way too warm.
Then the mental confusion worsened to the point where I couldn’t even work out simple things like how much money to give when I went shopping.  I was getting very confused and clumsy, dropping things and tripping over my own feet.
Finally I began losing control over my upper body.  It would freeze up solid with every muscle rigid and there was nothing I could do to relax."


"I have heard all kinds of bad things about Seroquel but to me this medicine has saved my life. I was diagnosed with cyclothymia with racing thoughts and extreme hypo-manic phases followed by intense depression. Not to mention I would get so paranoid sometimes that I couldn't leave the house. I had tried everything including lithium but then I went to a new doctor. She said I could try Seroquel XR but I probably wouldn't like feeling sedated. I said sedated? fine! The funny thing is that I have had more energy but it is calm positive energy. I made a huge turn around and life is back on track. I thought I had ADHD as well but now I have great concentration, no anxiety, and can sit still for hours. I highly recommend if your symptoms sound like mine."


"I was put on Valium 5 mg. ( generic Diazepam) twice daily for 2 reasons. Severe muscle spasms, and anxiety. It works well for sleeping, and I do not wake up feeling hung over like I was on Robaxin. I am a Nurse's Aide and Valium can be highly addictive, so I only take it as needed when spasms and anxiety are bad."


"I have been on Karvia for about 3 months now and noticed that my breast HURT and are so tender. My periods last 4 days now instead of 3. I get mood swings too."


"So far I like the nuva ring. Although I have been experiencing more frequent bowel movements and trips to the bathroom, I haven't experienced any significant change yet. I wanted a change from taking pills and I like that I can remove this at anytime. I have not tried this yet with my boyfriend during intercourse so I'm not sure how that will go. Fingers crossed everything stays fine!"


"I divide a Zolpidem 10mg tablet into four section with pill silcer.  I disolve one section on my tongue to fall alseep.  If I wake up in a few hours I take another section and disolves it on my tongue.  I usually need to urinte at twice a night and asily fall back to sleep with the small dose  If I wake up and it's 5 am. I;ll take the last of the four sections I cut.  I'll wake up again between 6 and 7AM.  I've never had any side effects from this drug.  I feel well rested and do not need to take a nap during the day.  I've been taking a for of Ambien for 19 years, I'm now a senior citizen and my insurance will only pay for 90 days of use a year.  I use Good Rx coupons."


"Doctor started me on 27 took that for 3 weeks for severe ADHD and it lost its effect so I was put up to 54 mg and amazing changes I get work done fast and I am motivated only problem is Crash is pretty awful for me, I get really sick to the stomach and drowsy. For the sick stomach I just use ginger but drowsyness can't do anything"


"I've never had acne until November of last year. Due to large amounts of stress, I broke out all over my forehead and chin. It caused me to get stressed out even more! I went to my doctor to tell her about all the symptoms I've been having due to all this stress and she gave me Differin for the acne. I've only been using it for about 2 weeks now and I've definitely noticed a difference! The left side of my forehead is almost completely cleared up! I remember after only 3 night of using this that I woke up and noticed my acne had gotten worse (this is a good thing, I knew it meant that it was pushing the acne up to the surface to get out). I love this!"


"Had the Botox for overactive bladder November 21, 2015. Two days ago had the follow up. Everything went well at the operation, I could void before going home, little bleeding which soon stopped. Having some trouble emptying showing over 200 after voiding.  I'm going to work on voiding completely. I do not wake up the 6 to 8 times at night now to use the restroom, I may wake once now.  When going anywhere, now I'm not tied to the need to use the restroom every half hour like before.  My urgency, frequency are more like normal now.  Taking this time to work real hard on keegle's see in six months if that helps at all. BTW I have secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.  I would highly recommend this procedure."


"Everything started out well. A little cramping and spotting the first few days. But no cramping since.  I started my next cycle on time, but hasn't stopped!!! It's been 10 days and I'm over it. Hoping my cycle will end soon. ;/"


"This has been one of the toughest medications I have ever been on. I've been on countless numbers of antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilisers... Around 25 medications in total. I was wrongly diagnosed as borderline personality and suffered greatly as a result. Sertraline made everything so much worse for about three weeks: but then, it was like a switch had been pressed in my head. My racing, obsessive thoughts stopped, my constant headaches, insomnia, sweating, worrying, heart pains, vanished. I can think, I can feel and I can, for the first time in a long time, be 100% completely myself without the pain. You don't get points in this world for suffering and this has improved my life by about 100000000%. Stick with it."


"I have had Implanon for 3 years now and I'm getting it removed in November and I honestly love it just in this last month I've had heavy periods its was awesome. I love it."


"I was hesitant to try this medication because of the negative reviews I was reading. My dermatologist prescribed me two topical creams and an antibiotic. I researched the medications and although I read scary reviews I chose to only use adapalene. I am so glad!! I was so nervous so I made sure to use the smallest amount possible and to only use it every other day on the affected areas. I have been using it for a few weeks now and my skin is all cleared up! I'm 25 years old and have had mild to moderate break outs since I was a teen. I decided to finally see a dermatologist and I am soooo happy to finally have clear skin!"


"Helps very much"


"I initially had Mononessa prescribed for PCOS but switched after 3 months to Sprintec. Of course I experienced the usual side effects with both i.e. nausea, mood swings, hot flashes, breast tenderness and headaches but only for the first week or two. However with Sprintec I am now experiencing depression, my skin on face and chest area above breast is not as smooth as it used to be and worst of all a yeast infection, which I have never suffered from before (awful itching but Monistat 7 is helping a lot). I'm still quite new to Sprintec and hope all this goes away."


"We switched on the advice of the then new ADHD therapist.  It took longer to "kick in" and build up than other meds we tried but it has been a God send.  His grades are WAY up and he's not as hot or cold as he used to be.  My only issues are he won't eat while on it...not even a tiny bite.  Dr is keeping an eye on the weight.  Also, to me, he's not himself.  I don't like the flatness because his personality is so big!  At least it wears off!"


"I have had rosacea for about three years. My face progressively got redder and bumpy as the years have progressed. I have been so frustrated trying metro gel, and various other topical treatments with no results. I've tried changing my diet as well as not drinking alcohol and avoiding over exerting myself because I would be embarrassed of my face. Soolantra has literally made almost all of my symptoms go away. I have an occasional day where my face will look a tinge red but it's a 90 percent improvement from what it was. At first it made my face very dry and it almost seemed to make my rosacea worse. After a month things progressively got better. It's been 4 months and I can honestly say it's amazing. Dont give up!"


"I have nothing but great results from these pills, I was put on Amethia when I was 15 for very heavy and extremely painful periods so bad I would live on a heating pad for a week and miss school/work a few days each month) I've been taking it for 8 years now and have not had any noticeable side effects, no spotting, moodiness, weight gain or acne. My periods are much lighter and shorter, much more manageable. My only complaint is the price, normally my insurance covers it fully but between coverage when my deductible resets I end up paying close to $300 for a 3 month cycle pack."


"For some period of time I had a bad cough and diagnosed with chronic bronchitis and prescribed Tussionex - unfortunately there was a very large tumor discovered in my right lung.  I did undergo a painful surgery only to find out the condition was inoperable - I went through chemo and radiation to no avail.  I, however, continued to take Tussionex to cut down on coughing which was painful.  Now one cannot get the liquid which worked for me - I only had to take it once a day, usually in the morning.  I recommend it highly."


"Excruciating side effects! Took 4 pills in one dose and about half a hour later I'm in so much pain in my stomach .In fetal position on the couch chugging water with the worst diarrhea ever and nausea but no puking yet thank goodness"


"Been on almost everything for over 4 years I feel Opana ER an Opana IR take away the pain 25% - 50% more than any other medicine I have taken which means I am feeling good again. I am again able to work, clean and do a lot of the fun stuff I had to stop when I got sick (even mountain biking again!)."


"Have been on Lexapro for two years now. First weeks were truly horrible and took 6-8 weeks for full effect. But hang in there! My life is finally anxiety free and I enjoy the smallest things. I see now how much place and energy the anxiety took before. Not anymore. No side effects. Take it at night to avoid sexual side effects. (Had them when I took Lex in the morning.)"


"My experience so far with embrel has been just brilliant! This is comming from someone who at one point had to get lifted out the bath, have someone wash my hair, get me dressed, put my shoes on. I currently taking the 50mg pre filled pen, just about to take my third dose today. The effects so far have been excellent and I have seen a huge improvement in the quality of my life! After 2 weeks of taking embrel I have no stiffness on a morning, I can go a full day without taking ANY pain killers (prior to this I had to take 2, 30mg codeine 4 times a day, followed by 2 500mg naproxen twice a day - just to function!!!) I have seen a big improvement in my hips (stiffness/pain) and the swelling in both of my knees has almost gone!!"


"I was just prescribed modafinil and I was happy I picked up my prescription on Friday so I had the weekend to try it out. So yup- I woke up and cleaned things I haven't cleaned in months with incredible focus. I didn't feel scattered, didn't lose my train of thought, my attention span was excellent. It almost made me wonder if I had ADHD and never knew it. But anyway, I took 100mg, half a pill at a time. No headache, no nausea, I ran a couple miles and did okay. I was able to feel good and not be tired and even got to play with my kids in the evening- something that never happens because I'm usually too exhausted to do anything like that. Overall, I'm feeling a ton better!"


"My husband has used advair for about 15 yrs, works great. Dr have tried other inhalers but saw no difference, hope we get a generic advair soon."


"I was a walking mess, until I got introduce to this miracle pill. I started off with 75 mg. My doctor notice a little difference in my speech and personality in general, so he upgrade to 2 pills of 75 mg. So now I'm up to 250 mg. a day...I'm doing very good. .love the ppl. who invented this medicine, btw I'm taking it with clonazepam 0.5 mg 3 times a day, I also have p.t.s.d, I'm doing amazingly gr8. Thank you Jesus #Amen God is good. ..Good luck with your struggles. ."


"This medicine gave me the relief of symptoms of pain, urgency and frequency I needed quickly but I felt bad otherwise with overall fatigue and joint pain everywhere.  Seven Days of that was worth it to me to rid me of that infection.  But I worry if those side effects could worsen if I use it again in the future."


"Works well, last for about 6-8 hours."


"Mirena has been the best birth control I've tried and I've tried them all! Yes insertion was painful and I did have a decently long time (about 3 months) where I would spot or bleed but after having it for 4 years now, I can honestly say it's so worth it. I have had no weight or mood changes, period completely stopped after the three month bleeding and ever since I've nearly forgot about it. My skin has always been oily so I can't blame it for that and I haven't experienced cramping, my ex said he could feel it but I think it was just because I had it inserted partway into our relationship and he was paranoid because my current boyfriend says he doesn't notice anything abnormal. I can't wait to get my new one!"


"Started on capsule 30 MG Oct 15th, weight 215, 9 days on phentermine down 11lbs.  This pill works immediately.  The first day I felt energy without feeling jittery, I took it at 9am and now take it at 6am no later than 7am because it can keep you up at night.  If I take it early I am typically fine, if I feel a little wired before bed I just take a 5mg melatonin.  I drink a lot of water anyways so I don't get dry mouth bad but I did notice if I don't drink as much I can feel my mouth getting dry. It makes my mood happier, weird but I just have a feel good mood since taking this. Maybe it's from the energy I feel that I am getting. I have nothing negative to say. It curbs my appetite amazingly, just make sure you do eat, Don't starve yourself"
