"I was taking Januvia, but my insurance will no longer cover it so I was then switched to Trajenta. I take 5mg Trajenta with Metformin daily. My blood sugar is not as low or stable as it was with the Januvia and I am having very bad muscle and joint pain, severe headaches, back pain and weakness. I never had these symptoms previously so it must be the Trajenta. I never associated the problems to this medication until I read an article on it. I will be contacting my doctor regarding this medication."


"I have been on phentermine for 3 days. I have lost 7 pounds. HIGHLY due to the fact that I haven't eaten much of anything. I have walked everyday for 30 min a day. I take the pill when I wake. I have had a headache everyday about 3 or 4pm. I believe its because I am not taking in enough calories. I am also taking birth control and a women's multivitamin."


"I started this birth control because I hate my period. I was on it for about a month and a half and I felt horrible. I had serious mood swings making me so mean and a totally different person. I also had terrible cramping and a loss of libido. I was taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen for acne and thought that this would keep my acne at bay. Um no I was wrong I broke out everywhere! So I decided to go back to my old birth control and I am back to normal again."


"I started using this the first day of my period . it seem to work good. But then it started getting sticky around by the 4 day it completely fell off in the shower and I had to put a new one. The part where the patch use to be was extremely itchy and there was a rash/bumps (no I did not shave my butt) or spot where I placed the patch. This time I placed the patch in the front and its extremely itchy . no mood swings no headaches no cramps shorter periods I love it but it doesnt stick good and it itches. He came inside me hopefully it worked and I didn't get pregnant have to wait and see. I have previously tried the pill and I broke out like crazy and sex drive went down and I was really moody."


"I could not get out of bed without Adderall. I have been taking it since 2000. However, I developed a severe spinal disease, fibro, and arthritis. I had to give in to taking pain meds which interfered with my Adderall dosage. I currently take 40mg. I have found this dose ineffective for the past several years. My family doctor prescribes my meds and doesn't feel comfortable titrating up to 60mg. I weigh 335mg as well. I am frustrated and feel exhausted most of the day."


"Started using this less than a week ago.  I've done test inj in the past and worked out and got dramatic results.  Now that I'm older (48), my test is low, 208, my Dr prescribed Androgel, but insurance only covers Testim.  Personally, I think it smells like Lysol.  I am feeling better but hate the application process and the stickiness off my skin afterward.  If my levels don't bump up on my next round of blood tests, I'm going to go to a urologist and see about getting the pellets put in."


"I'm a paraplegic. I was in a SEVERE auto accident, broken vertebrae, most of my ribs were broken, broke my pelvis and ruptured my liver. After I was out of rehab, 4 months after the accident, I was put on pain meds. First I was put on 500mg Vicodin and after about 6 months I began building up an immunity so they switched me to Darvocet but they were worried about the amount I needed to take that the acetaminophen would damage my liver so after being on that for about 6 months or so they switched me to the Darvon. It worked REALLY well!!! In fact, I was able to back down on the amount I was taking because they were more effective than the Darvocet. My insurance covered it but even if it hadn't it's much less than most other meds."


"I've taken Vesicare for 3 weeks now and my overactive bladder has improved significantly. Before I was back and forth to the bathroom all day at work and nights were the worst. 5 to 6 times throughout the night had my life completly messed up. So far I think I've only experienced dry mouth and I'm hoping that's all I experience because this medicine has changed my life."


"I had this thing put in a year ago, and I am getting it out asap.  I fell depressed all the time, dont want to socialize, or have sex.  it pokes my husband and I feel pain when I do certain sexual positions.  I have hair growing from all parts of my body.

dont get me wrong its great not to worry about getting pregnant for 5 years, but what the point of having it in and getting all these weird symptoms.  I have enough kids and I think getting my tubes tied.

Got luck to other users who dont have a problem, as for me its a goner!!!"


"I am doing so much better with carvediol than I did with Coreg.  I know, I know, it's the same thing, but the dosage choices are much broader than with Coreg.  I was having difficulty with the 20mg (1x daily) Coreg and switched to 6.25mg (2x daily) carvedilol and all the side effects went away (both drowsiness and dizziness).  It has been three months since the switch and I am as happy as a person can be having to take medication(s)."


"I used the patch for night time hot flashes that wake me up every 2-3hrs. The size was great, and it stuck just fine. That's where the happy union ended. By the second day the hot flashes seemed to triple, occurring all day and all night. And the flashes were hotter! I also began to have terrible headaches that woke me up earlier than my alarm clock and hung around all day. I never have headaches so I removed the patch after only 4 days and the symptoms all went away. Now I'm back to square one better able to deal with my original symptoms knowing things could be worse. I'm going to give the name brand Vivelle dot a try and see what happens."


"Took this when my tolterodine (Detrol) didn't seem to work very well. Did not work at all. Went back to toterodine, researching something better."


"Great."


"I was put om buspar due to getting custody of my niece and nephew from dhr and getting a promotion to a new much more stressful job. The buspar helped keep me calm enough to focus at the tasks before me and help me get through my day to day life. I was super stressed and scared bc of all of the changes in my life and buspar helped me calm down and cope"


"Idk why everyone is saying the burning / itching is not tolerable. I would describe it as a moderate annoyance. I put the medicine in about a half an hour ago and yes there is itching and a slight burning but I'm glad because I know it's working. I'm not sure if my pain tolerance is higher but I am just relaxing and ignoring it and by the morning it will be gone. I did not take a shower immediately before using the medicine so not sure if that makes any difference. I have had yeast infections before and have always had this reaction.. It's only one day so you just have to bear it and look forward to not having a yeast infection anymore. Obviously it's going to be worse than taking a pill but what do you expect?"


"It does nothing for my muscle spasm"


"I am a 50 year old male who has slight hypertension and thyroid issues.  Slowly over the last 5 or 6 years I have noticed that obtaining and maintaining an erection have gotten more challenging, sometimes to the point where the erection is completely gone and having to get it again to finish off.  I have also noticed some challenges around urination, weak stream, feeling of a bladder that isn't empty and immediate urge to urinate.  My doctor prescribed 5mg Cialis daily and the erectile issues were gone almost immediately, my wife says it is just like it was 25 years ago.  I also notice that it appears to be somewhat fuller when not erect.  The only side effect I had was for about 3 days, my nasal passages would plug up, that is now gone."


"I was prescribed Kariva after another birth control became too expensive. I was afraid to try it out since there were so many negative reviews, but I am happy to say that this is a magical little pill (So far). I have not experienced any weight gain, moodiness, or low libido. My acne cleared up (I'm 27 and have always battled with acne) for the most part. The only drawback is some mild discharge, but nothing to worry about. I LOVE this pill! "


"I started medication on March 4th im down 10lbs."


"I have been on Pristiq for about 2 months. I've tried probably 10-12 other anti-depressents with lots of side effects that made me want to quit them. I feel better emotionally today. I have no side effects and I am able to complete tasks in a reasonable amount of time, without feeling overwhelmed. I have no anxiety issues and I am finally enjoying my life. I only wish the insurance industry would cover this medication."


"contrave so far has been decent. it is expensive, but look up on the website for a card which helps take off some of the money, then get the app rxone and it helps too! look for discounts if you like it b/c it costs a lot.

i started my 3 weeks today (7/8/2016) and I've lost 4.6 lbs for now... 2 pills in a.m. and one at night. I fluctuate a few pounds too through the day... so I try and weigh the same time every week...

I don't have as many cravings and im just kinda mellow too... I don't know how much of what is in it, but I feel just like it works for me so far.

I'm keeping track of my weight on myfitnesspal app."


"I was injected with this at the close of my foot surgery (5th metatarsal oblique fracture). I experienced NO pain at all during my recovery. I wore an armband for 96 hours to alert others, in case of emergency, not to re-administer this medicine. This injection enabled me to rest comfortably, and prevented me from needing to take narcotics for pain relief.  Friends who had previous bunion/foot surgeries had warned me of how painful it would be. I expressed this to my doctor and he said the Experal would provide relief for as short as 24 hours to 72 hours. I NEVER had pain so can't say how long the shot lasted. My foot and leg were completely wrapped with an icing system integrated so I really couldn't tell how long my foot was actually numb."


"Great works at almost every type of itching"


"I just started taking Terbinafine and its been almost a week. I was wondering if using Tea Tree oil will affect me while taking the pills? Any help please?"


"This drug is very effective but also very expensive."


"I have been on Cymbalta for about 2 1/2 years and it has greatly improved my life. It had to be increased to 90mg per day but now am feeling that it is not helping me much. Overall it has been a real blessing for me."


"I take both versions, 150 ER twice a day, and one IR once a day. This works for me better than vicodin 10's along with all the other stuff I had to take with them. I used to take 6 a day of vicodin, or ultram  300 and 6 ulram 50 mgs and soma 350 mgs. Now, all I need is the nucynta, sometimes I have pain it doesn't totally control, but, you can't be pain free 24 hours a day no matter what you take. I like that if you forget to take one, or whatever, there isn't any withdrawals for me. Nothing, no insomnia, no illness, it works like an opiate without the hassles. I don't know why it is schedule 2 because to me, it is like a super strong tylenol, you never withdrawal from tylenol. I feel lucky that my doctor chose this to control my pain."


"I am 53 yes old and I am giving a update with the phentermine 37.5 .I been taking the pills since 3/23/16 .and I am down 7 pounds.#250 is my weight.Dry mouth is gone."


"At first I thought this was the best thing ever. For the first year and a half I had rare spotting but I gained about 15 pounds. I attributed my weight gain to my diet, but after the year and a half the bleeding became more frequent and I changed my diet and exercised. I'm having it taken out early (about 6 months) because I am experiencing almost constant bleeding. It's unbearable. I have gained nearly 35 pounds in two and a half years and it's impossible to lose weight. I just keep gaining and spotting all the time. Everybody is different, but I would caution anyone planning on getting this form of birth control."


"I was on this medicine for about 7 weeks and I gained a lot of weight and on the start of my 3rd pack I got extreme migraines when I crouched down. I was in crazy pain so I stopped the birth control. After about 3 weeks my migraines stopped. I got MRI's and the doctor didn't see anything wrong with my brain."


"I had a terrible urinary tract infection. Went to the ER and they gave me this anti-biotic. It made me really sick. "


"Excellent medicine, I take it only as needed but beware, for me at least, massive and rapid weight gain has occurred on it, I was a consistent 130 pounds for the last 3 years, within a month of starting it I've gained 25 pounds. Which for me is great, I needed the weight gain, for others though, take caution in this. For me this drug has been phenomenal and I can take it once and feel good for days."


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


"The first three days on Victoza I had no problems.  Day four brought the sulfur belches, dry heaving, diarrhea and dizziness.  I was so dehydrated I needed to go the ER and this was on the lowest dose.  My DEC said it would be a great thing for me and the side effects were minimal.  Not so for me.  Decided to give this up and stick with the Metformin and Glipizide.  I will also be going back to Weight Watchers and start exercising. "


"I started Chantix 8 days ago; on 1st day of 1mg twice a day. I've only had nausea. Cigarettes taste terrible. I was smoking 1 to 1-1/2 packs a day for over 30 years. Quit once cold turkey but mom died and started smoking again. Quit once with pregnancy but started again after delivery. My kids said they'd like me around to see their children and knew I had to quit. I really enjoyed smoking; I called it "me time". I've found other ways to give myself a break; reading and exercising. Already I don't want to smoke as they taste nasty. I was worried a bit as I am bipolar - but psych MD prescribed and haven't had any increase in those symptoms. I would suggest that you talk to all your doctors if you have psych conditions; it doesn't hurt to try. You can quit."


"I have been taking Tri-Sprintec for a month and about a week now, I have been having crazy mood swings that is causing me to not want to do anything, argue with my partner, then be fine 10 minutes later. Very irritable. I will get tired for doing nothing and just want to sleep, sort of like a depression but I refuse to say I am depressed, I am normally a very happy person look to the bright side of everything, Now I just want to cry and sleep. Then comes heart palpitations, headaches every day since I have been taking them, feel sick. "


"I have "jumpers knee" tendonitis. I play softball and I am a outfielder...I also workout 5 times a week. Back in my days I ran track as well...I guess it all caught up to me in my early 30's ..I couldn't lift my leg below my knee it was so painful, my sports dr prescribed Voltaren and when I used it as prescribed 4x's a day I saw a good bit of improvement..."


"I just had a gigantic ventral hernia repair with mesh. Surgery alone took three hours. Twelve holes. Also liver biopsy. Taking 100mg as needed. Cant walk, stand, move without severe pain. I am frustrated and sick of being bedridden. "


"This medication works great for those with cronic insomnia.  My only complaint is weight gain which for me was not an option since I work hard at watching my weight.  I was taking 50  mg and had nightmares with talking in my sleep. I since stopped taking nightly and only use after I can't sleep for a few days. However, almost each time I take it I have the verbal nightmares. Keep in mind these r my side effects and may not happen to you, as far as a sleep aid it works great."


"I am on Ambien and feel great."


"Unbelievable this medicine changed my life, I've been struggling to get sober for the past three years, rehab after rehab, always thinking I can control it this time, or that some how this time will be different, I now celebrate 6 months of total SOBreity, I've seen reviews of people saying that it makes them drink normal and I am way to scared to try that, I've become to involved with AA to want to change my sober date. But who know maybe one day."


"I've used Prevacid for years, then my prescription insurance had my doctor change me to Nexium, my problems came back. "


"Just start on 5 Oct at 278lb - been tracking food and exercise in fitnesspal. Minor side effects that pass quickly. I asked doctor for this as it contains buprion which I was on nearly 16 years ago. I lost weight while on that and was able to maintain for some time. Due to lifestyle changes, stress, bad foot and age (51 now) I gained a lot of weight in the past 10 years and have been trying so many different ways to get control back but was not having success. Since being on contrave I feel more focused don't need to snack between meals and am already down to 272.5lb. I really hope I have the success some other have had - good luck to everyone whose fighting to control their weight it's hard for some of us but not impossible"


"I met my amazing husband at age 15 and fell in love on sight. Sadly, circumstances (his parents) forced our lives in different directions and we lost one another for 16 years. On a fluke, we found each other again. None of the feelings we shared had quelled for either of us, despite my having married 2"


"I've been dealing with fatigue for yrs now and even if I'll sleep early I will still feel tired. Then I went back to school and I've been noticing that I just can't focus into what I'm studying and there's just too many darn freaking thoughts in my head and I will day dream or zone out at time in the mid of studying. I will jump from doing one thing jn my life to another just coz I feel exited about it. I like excitement so much that I keep loosing track of things! I asked my friend to give me two capsules to try n see what it will do to me and God it just feels like it opened up a new world of having organized thoughts and focus. I took 10mg went to doc got me an rx and now I'll see how to feel normal. if I had known... missed allot of yrs"


"Not trying to deal people out but it Didn't work. Took four hours after condom broke and ended up pregnant. If you already ovulate I don't think this works. Advice : take vitamin c without bioflavoids or rose hips asap!!! It stops the increase of progesterone so the fertilized egg can't implant."


"I have had bilateral knee replacements and severe multiple joint pains problems.  I have been "around the block" with all sorts of medications to help me with pain & inflammation. This includes getting and becoming addicted to pain medication. I have not taken Celebrex because at the time my problems were so bad, they were pulling all the cox 2 inhibitors off the markets. I have been on Celebrex now for slightly over a month! What a God send! I am absolutely AMAZED at how well this has worked. Please give it a chance, you will be extremely satisfied!! Pfizer offers help paying for this RX. I have a $10 copayment but with help card $4.00!! Can't beat that!"


"I used a little more than recommended to cover all thinning areas.maybe 75% of the cap each time. For the first few weeks there was shedding and then growth of hair throughout scalp (crown and most of top scalp) at month 3 to 4 of usage but at same time (month 3 to 4 of usage) , I experienced extremely low libido. I have completely stopped the medication for 3 weeks now and I think I am recovering. Thanks."


"Norvasc was given to me to treat migraine headaches. I am 28 years old.  I was having them as frequently as every other day.  I dealt with this for five years before being prescribed Norvasc.  After two months of taking a 5mg dosage, I can say I am a new person!"


"I was prescribed 10mg of Escitalopram for anxiety/depression and took half a pill for a week to get started. I have had IBS my whole life (diarrhea right after eating or several times a night/day) which morphed into severe gas and bloating with the onset of my depression and anxiety due to work related stress.  I felt great after 2 weeks, very zen and not irritable or unhappy and unexpectedly my IBS symptoms also improved significantly (though bloating never fully went away). I was told it could make your stomach upset which worried me but I had no symptoms except very low libido. Due to the low libido, I decided to stop taking it but with in 1-2 weeks of stopping, the IBS bloating is back."


"I have had Psoriasis since puberty and for lack of a better term it was a living hell.  It covered 80% of my body.  I started Enbrel 4 years ago and I cleared up drastically within the first month. It was a miracle.  Only side effect I encountered was during my blood work check ups my doctor noticed my ANA was high which could indicate drug induced lupus so we kept a close eye on that.  I am no longer on Enbrel because I got Pneumonia last summer and couldn't take it while sick and I never broke out the whole time I was off it. So they saw no need to go back on it.  Since then I have been experiencing break outs again and wish to go back on but its not a large enough percentage covering my body to start it up again."


"Applied after bathing at bedtime. Relief of eye itching was achieved totally in minutes. Bothersome tearing was all but gone by the morning. Lasted about 16 hours on heavy pollen count day. Not covered by insurance, but I will spend to buy anyway."


"I was so exited to find this medication.  I had previously been on synthroid and it's generic for over 20 years with no problems and suddenly became intolerant with debilitating side effects.  We tried adding Cytemel which cause terrible heart palps and then tried Armour also causing terrible heart palps and chest pain, both meds were reduced greatly with the same effect.  I finally found Tirosint and did wonderfully on it for over 6 months, then my stomach had severe issues, through specialists and so many tests, treatments and a whole lot of money we finally stopped Tirosint on a whim.  I'm all better stomach wise, but out of options otherwise.  Since even compounded T4 uses fillers, I have no more options."


"Well I've been taking Zoloft for anxiety and panic attacks 50mg for 7 weeks now and it does work for panic and anxiety I havnt had an attack and my anxiety levels are pretty much low as can be, my mind feels clearer and I feel more relaxed and able to concentrate on things again, the only down side to taking this that I have felt is being tired a bit and being a bit lethargic and less motivation to do anything, also had very vivid dreams but they can be good so that's not a bad thing to deal with, looking to go back to see if I can lower the dose of possible to help with the feeling of lethargic/less energy but it does what it says it's stops panic and anxiety of you stick with it, I can relax again!"


"Have only been on Sovaldi (and Ribavirin) for three days now, so only have side-effects to report on so far. Sovaldi seems to be causing the following: shortness of breath, acid reflux, diarrhea, and a horrible itchiness around my mouth and lips. All but the itchiness are tolerable--the itchiness is preventing me from eating or drinking much liquid, and I hate it.

But I remain hopeful that this combo will cure the Hep C I have had for about 43 years now!"


"I'm 15 and got the shot about 2 months ago. So far, my periods have remained regular. On the downside, I now feel hungry ALL the time. All I do is eat.. I have these irresistible cravings now. I'm noticing weight gain of course because I'm stuffing my face, but I'm miserable if I don't eat what I'm craving or when I'm hungry. Also, I've been having excruciating headaches. I already have migraines. I had them for years, before I got on the shot. but they had stopped when I started a new medicine. now they're back since I'm on the shot. It's terrible, hopefully the cravings, appetite, headaches, and also these mood swings I've been having get better. If not I'm switching."


"I've had acne for about 8 years. Last year it suddenly deteriorated into severe nodular cystic acne. I started Accutane in September 2016, I'm nearly finished my sixth month and I still have the same nodules and cysts that I had at beginning of the treatment, I'm still breaking out the same as before. Accutane is effective for 96% of people whilst they're on it, so I'm not bashing Accutane, it's an amazing drug for the majority of people. I'm obviously an exception and I'm devastated."


"I've been taking Pristiq for 2 full months now.  It helps me get up and out of the house and I don't feel as hopeless.  People aren't getting on my nerves as much either. Continuing side effects for me are sleepiness, headaches and a rise in blood pressure.  I'm seeing my doctor to taper off as the side effects are too much.

In the first few weeks I noticed a dramatic loss of appetite which has unfortunately gone away.  I have some weight to lose.  For a while there I was eating like a "normal" person, which was really nice.

I've been on everything, most recently Prozac and Cymbalta.  Just don't know if there's anything left to try."


"I got it inserted in April 2013, that June I bled for about a month straight and waited it out to see if there would be change, after that it stopped and I have not bled since. It is still in my arm and it is now Feb 2016, I will be getting it removed next month and a new one reinserted. I think it is great and it has not given me any problems. Everyone's body is different and remember we all react differently. I think it is great, also I'm very active, and I have never has a pregnancy scare."


"I was diagnosed in 1998 via papular biopsy by a US Air Force MD. I am so glad he knew right that minute what medication I needed. I had been treated for everything from scabies to exzema and beyond with everything but the right thing! It had been going on for about 4 years and I was going insane with the itching, oozing, infected elbows, knees, and groin area! These areas were also painful at the same time. It is a "miracle" drug for me!!!!"


"I've been taking this medication for about 4 days now.  It's done an excellent job dispursing the infection below my tooth and behind my eardrum.  The condition was very painful at one point and I hardly notice an issue now. "


"This new anti-viral, used exclusively with Pegalated Interferon is a God-send for people with genome 2 HCV. My wife got the virus in a blood transfusion back in the late 80's or early 90's.  She went through the old interferon therapy without (ribavirin) and it is back.  I contracted the virus from her, had little hope, but I have been RNA negative in all blood test since the 2nd month of treatment.  With the help of support groups, I've been able to manage most of the mean side effects.  The trade-off is very much worth it."


"I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety 5 years ago. I was so stressed about work, even though I liked my job and wasn't stressed about it for years before. Had continuous trouble sleeping more than 4 hours a night sometimes less. I went off work for two months due to stress, anxiety and depression. My doctor prescribed 25 mg of seroquel and 20 mg of cipralex for depression. I take both at night an hour before going to bed. I saw a psychiatrist for about two months during the time I was off work. I didn't get off the couch basically all day for about a month. Started to sleep better and feel a bit better after a few weeks. I sleep perfectly now and haven't had any real problems last five years."


"This birth control has lightened and regulated my periods. My sex drive is normal. However I do experience a lot of discharge. I would recommend this birth control to younger women."


"I see a lot of negative experiences on here. Fortunately, I won't add to those.

This is day 8 after beginning Belviq, and I have lost 8 pounds!!!I started the RX as prescribed: twice a day, 12 hours apart. I have to make myself eat. When I do, I only eat a very small portion. My meals are only about 200 calories each, with 3 tiny snacks. I cut back on all sugar (even Splenda).  **Cravings are non existent"

I am 57, I have COPD, and 2 herniated discs, so it's hard to exercise normally. But I am increasing activities, and doing back exercises, and walking when I am able. Will add weights when my back feels more stable.

I have had absolutely no side effects! No headaches, no muscle aches, no drowsiness, nothing.

I couldn't be happier."


"I decided to write a review if this works. My boyfriend and I had sex when the condom broke. We freaked out since I had been skipping my birth control pill (which is a bad idea...TAKE YOUR BC) and I was also starting to ovulate. We ran out to get the pill asap and I took it probably 2-3 hours after the incident. I recommend taking it asap because it'll be more effective. I didn't really have any side effects except I was pretty fatigued a lot. A few days ago, I had cramps and broke out with acne and today I got my period. The pill works if you take it as soon as possible and if you haven't ovulated by the time you take it. If you ovulate, wait a day after unprotected sex, then take it. It's not gonna work because you're already pregnant."


"Started using Spiriva in 2003 and noticed much improvement in breathing and endurance. As my emphysema has worsened and flare-ups occurred more frequently, my pulmonologist added Onbrez and it too is very helpful. The combination is effective for me, FEV1 went from 37% to 52%. My principal side effect is dry mouth, but a sip of water now and then beats shortness of breath or worse."


"This drug does work for me...I take it twice daily 2 pills morning and night..VERY EXPENSIVE is the downside"


"Vivarin for my hypersomnia worked better than taking amphetamines for wakefulness."


"I was on Levemire and Novolog for several years, excelent controll with A1C's from 5.9 to the high 6.+ hardly ever out of the 6.something range.  However, I was recently switched to Toujeo, now my blood levels are anywhere from 80 to nearly 300 (fasting) A1C was recently 7.3, waiting for lab results to see what level my A1C is now.  Been on the Toujeo for about 4 months now, thought maybe it would take some time to start working, obviously, different brands work differently for different people just from reading the above remarks..."


"Shuts off my appetite - I actually have to remind myself to eat - which is a great thing because now instead of grabbing food to satisfy my seemingly insatiable appetite, I am making healthy choices.  Been on Qsymia since July 14, 2016 and have already lost 16 pounds."


"After steroid shots for back problems, I went up to 224lbs. I saw a picture of myself and knew I had to do something. My doctor started me on phentermine about 10 months ago and I am now down to 140lbs.  Now down 84lbs I have set my goal weigh to 120lbs. Though my doctor wants me at 105lbs. I have set June as my date to meet my goal. I walk daily and watch what I eat.  Though I do let myself have treats weekly so I am not craving sweets.  I found semi-sweet mini chocolate chips used in baking are a great snack."


"I had 18" of my large intestines removed a year ago. I still had Diarrhea bad. I took Imodium and was so happy I feel normal. Something I can't drink is Beer. )-: That is ok with me. I only take it every other day. I am a happy camper."


"I used the cream today no problem but it is for external use only. The suppositories are the only things that should be used internally and it sounds like some of you used the cream incorrectly. Like most of you I had rubbed/scratched myself raw and worse you scratched the more it is going to burn."


"I put off having a colonoscopy because of the horror stories friends had told of the gallon of prep they had to drink and how horrible it was. MoviPrep was a small 32oz. bottle, the lemon flavor wasn't something I'd want to drink on a regular basis, but it wasn't that bad. I did chill in fridge, shake before pouring into a plastic cup with top and straw. Immediately following each 8 oz. I chewed a fresh piece of Juicy Fruit gum until the next 8 oz.  Did the second 32 oz. of MoviPrep at 5 a.m. the day of my procedure. It was slightly harder to get down simply because I don't eat or drink anything until  later in the day. Procedure was a breeze."


"As far as not getting pregnant this thing works great! I've experienced some really annoying side effects too. First off I have no ryme or reason to my cycle and when I have it it's SOOO long. I've "spotted" for 2mos straight before. Also I have little to no sex drive. Guess that makes it easier not to get pregnant!"


"I've had Nexplanon for almost a year now and I have to say, it seems like I have experienced every side effect there is! Hair loss, yeast infection, frequent discharges, and especially weight gain! No I'm not fat but I have gained some weight. I believe that this is good birth control because you don't have to worry about remembering to take a pill everyday or getting the shot but it has it's ups and down. My sex drive totally left the building and mood swings are crazy. My boyfriend hates it but I need it!"


"hair loss massive hair loss"


"I was in a car accident and have chronic pain. Amitriptyline takes the edge off. The side effects are dry mouth, confusion, dizziness, nausea and chronic lethargy to name a few. The one that put me off completely is risk of LIVER DAMAGE. My feet have been swelling for 3 weeks. For the last week my calves have been swelling as well.

"


"Hi there I was on mirtazapine 15mg then got moved up to 30 mg had a real bad time didn't like them at all. So now I've  been put on citalopram 20mg it's only been on them for 5 days but when I take them in the morning anxiety goes up and down but by 6 at night I'm fine.  Is this normal as my depression seems to lift that time as well.  I'm just wondering if I need to take them but scared not to"


"This medication changed me inside and out.  I experienced nausea, bleeding, acne, anxiety, depression, irritability, loss of focus and felt like I was losing it.  The chemical hormonal imbalance changed my demeanor completely.  I began to have panic attacks and called my doctor.  I had a consult and prescription was changed right away.  I would not recommend this drug to anyone due to the side effects that I personally experienced as I would not want another to endure the same.  1 month was enough, I began to mellow out but decided against staying on it due to the severity of the side effects.  It took another 2 weeks to feel normal again."


"Since taking it for RLS, I have not had a single problem with my legs or arms trying to run a marathon while I try to sleep. The only problem I have is it makes me dream like crazy. I sometimes wake up and almost think the dreams were real. It is very strange and it happens almost every night. I have gotten used to it though. For the relief it has provided me, the dreaming is worth it."


"I have osteopena and I have taken fosamax and then boniva for  about 28 years and have had no side effects at all and my osteopena as shown in bone scans has not gotten worse. I am very active and have no pains and very good health. I am now 90 years old and recently fell and broke my wrist and fractured my pelvis because I stumbled over a curb.Both fractures healed within several months and I am back to being completely normal not having to use any devices for walking and I continue to travel all over the world. I give a lot of credit to both fosamax and boniva and would like for others to know about my experience as I believe these drugs  are responsible for my good health."


"Have been afflicted with migraines for about 7 years now. Tried several medicines, including the prophylactics--with varying degrees of success and side effects. Relpax gives me my life back most of the time verses 3 day nightmare of pain. It does numb my face a little and make me woozy, but that's well worth it for me. It's so effective for my migraines, which definitely seem to be weather, and not food, etc., related."


"I have been using the Nuvaring for 4 or 5 months now and really love it overall aside from one annoying side affect. It is super convenient, easy to insert and remove, lightens my period, and has caused no emotional or physical side effects but ONE. Gas. Bloaty, trapped, frustrating, painful gas. It's very unfortunate because otherwise, it's a great birth control.
I've dealt with it hoping it would go away after a few months, but it hasn't. If you think it's an insignificant enough side effect to cope with, maybe it's the right one for you to try. I'm considering changing to a different one at the end of my next cycle."


"This pill changed my life! I suffered from such bad cramps before that I would be throwing up nonstop for hours. I now barely have to take advil when I get my period, my periods only last 4 days too. I do not break out, no mood swings also! I did gain a slight amount of weight but nothing too big. Love it! Going on year 2 now of being on LoLo!"


"I was prescribed 50 mg Tramadol 3 to 4 times per day for the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. I was pleased with the relief I got. One year later and I am now addicted to it. In my opinion, this medicine should be for short term use only, not for chronic pain."


"6 days w/6 doses...made it WORSE. I have to pee about every 2 hours or less."


"I have been on Celexa since May and was reluctant to start since I had read all sorts of bad reviews on the internet. However, I am so glad I did because it has truly changed my life. I used to stress over everything and I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I feel 100% better. Celexa has allowed me to take control of my emotions, to read situations more clearly and to put things in my life into perspective so that I am not in a constant state of anxiety. I did not experience any side-effects. This drug has allowed me to take back the control of my life and has stopped that constant worried voice that was in my head. I highly recommend it to anyone who has the same issues as myself."


"Three years ago I developed bad pain, numbess and tingling in my right arm, I was referred for physio and was
 told I had a trapped nerve in my neck. The pain hung around for a couple of months but then I was prescribed amitriptyline. Within two weeks the pain had stopped. Not sure if this was down to the medicine or was just a coincidence but the pain has now come back so I will be trying it again."


"Taking for chronic regional pain syndrome."


"Im 18 and this is the first medication I've been on. I've been taking it for around 2 and a half months. I find has had helped me massively however I get so tired its unbearable I also get mild headaches a lot. I find this medication has been  a life saver, I can now actually reply when people speak to me."


"This has been the worst experience of my life. Two shots of Prolia and nothing but constant pain. Every bone in my body hurts, literally. I feel just awful all day long. Tired, washed out, constant pain that has been, at times, debilitating. Had to use crutches for two days when I developed severe hip pain and again when I developed sever knee pain. I am eating ibuprofen like it was a bag of M & M's. My cholesterol went high and I have never had a problem with cholesterol in my life (found out that it was yet another side effect). I have been to the ER twice and the walk-in clinic three times since starting Porlia. Two shots and I am done with it, no more."


"My first two pregnancies my doctor said I had HG. I popped all blood vessels in both my eyes and was so desperate and miserable not keeping anything down. My third pregnancy my doctor finally told me about diclegis! What a lifesaver! I no longer had to have a zofran pump in my stomach or walk around my house with an IV pole! The first dose I was tired, took a nap right away! The next few days I was tired too. But I had to take 3-4 a day every day, until I delivered my baby. So the tiredness wore off. I could drive and function just fine after taking it for a week or two. I'd rather be tired than have black eyes, look like a zombie, not be able to keep down an ice cube, and cry 100 times a day. If you're really suffering, this is worth it!"


"I'm glad I was prescribed Vistaril. It relives anxiety quickly without all the downsides of Klonopin or Xanax. The drowsiness is more pronounced, but I'll take it over a panic attack. This seems like a good medicine to take as needed. Be careful driving, and remember to rely on natural coping skills as well. To the people experiencing an abnormal amount of drowsiness or nausea, just remember it's temporary. It was totally effective for me, and my anxiety is moderate."


"We are trying it since our 7 month old son had RSV and has chronic lung issues and asthma problems since. It is working very well.  He has also been exposed several times to hand, foot, and mouth disease (coxsackie virus) and has only had a couple of blisters so I think it helped him not break out as bad. Something worth researching."


"Took 4 days for diarrhea to stop but side effects were terrible nausea, upset stomach, insomnia, dizziness. Didn't have the bad taste just finished the last pill thankfully wouldn't want to take it again."


"The drug works. I needed to exercise.  Without exercise I experience headaches and weird dreams. But when I get out and walk, I feel much much better and the weight comes off faster to. I went from 265lb down to 195lb and my enthusiasm for walking and finally hitting the gym, increased.  I lost all the cravings and especially the feeling that I'm hungry all the time. That helped me get started. Then eating very little each day and exercising is the key. HOWEVER, don't stop taking the drug cold turkey. I did that, and I turned lethargic and my hunger and cravings for fast food, doughnuts, ice cream and sugary drinks hit twice as hard and I gained back 85 pounds. Now I have to start all over."


"Got hospitalized. upped to 10mg morning and evening. This dose has helped my symptoms. I've had blackouts, and panic attacks and sex problems with every other atypical out there. Zyprexa is great. Only negative is gaining weight fast, while being slightly sedating, which makes it harder to exercise."


"I try not to use them often, I usually just try to put up with my anxiety because I don't want to go on antidepressants as none of them have worked for my anxiety and made my mood worse. So I find Valium when I really need it fantastic, it is quick and no side effects for me. It's a pity the doctors don't like prescribing it, people who abuse it make it hard for someone like me who really needs it in times of severe anxiety."


"So I just started this birth control almost 2 weeks ago. I am 24 and this is my very first birth control I have ever used. I was prescribed this pill to help with PCOS symptoms. I read reviews before taking my first pill and was super scared. I was expecting to feel horrible. The first 4 days I felt nothing at all except extreme sleepiness and my appetite has gone down some; the 5th day I had a horrible headache/dizziness/nausea and I ended up sleeping it off. I pushed the time I take the pill to later evening because I have felt so sleepy since starting this medication. I don't really see it being listed as a side affect and I'm not sure if anyone else has the same problem, but I am pretty positive it's the pill."


"I've been on this BC for about 4 months and I've really had no problems with it. I have had a lost of appetite but nothing to severe I also missed a period one month but that hasn't happen again and my periods have been really light and short. No mood swings. Some acne but not much more the usual."


"My podiatrist gave me a sample containing 2 patches for heel spur/achiles tendon pain.  I've been using the patch for 3 days and have noticed a marked improvement in the amount of pain.  Based on other reviews with issues of sticking, I use veterinary wrap to hold it in place. I've since called my podiatrist asking for a full prescription based on the relief I already feel."


"FOLLOWUP-6/09 Thyroid numbers are holding within accepted levels. I've missed a day on occasion and I can tell when I do, as I become more easily fatigued. But other than the 8-10 pounds I can't shed I'd say this medication is a success. I am a 45 year old athletic male professional. I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid about 1.5 years ago. I tried self treatment (eliminating food that remove iodine from the body, etc). I also took iodine supplements. No effect.  After 30 days on levothyroxine I felt much better. More energy, mental clarity and positive attitude.  I have now been on the medication for 9 months and have only experienced one negative side effect.  I have gained approximately 8 lbs. I will follow up after my April checkup."


"I am a 17 y/o boy and have suffered from sweaty armpits for 11 months now. My doctor prescribed me Hypercare and I cannot say it worked as well for me as it did everyone else. For starters, I could not for the life of me get the bottle to work. It has a poorly designed top/dispenser and had to resort to dipping it on cotton balls and then applying. When I did use it, the first night was no biggy. But the second night I applied it, about 10 minutes into bed, my armpits became EXTREMELY itchy, enough to the point where I scratched and scratched and said enough and wiped off the solution with a towel. I have never been able to use it more than one night in a row. I couldn't even apply deodorant the following day due to the itching."


"Began taking Contrave when I was 180lbs. 5 months later I am down to 153!! Contrave has helped me be more in control of my eating. I think I was always in denial, but I definitely had a good addiction. Food gave me that high. Contrave literally shifted the way I think about food. Now don't get me wrong, I still get hungry and certainly don't forget to eat, but I now have the ability to stop eating when I'm full. My weight loss has simply come from being able to cut portion sizes drastically. I most definitely don't eat salads everyday! I no longer crave Coca Cola anymore which saves a ton of calories! You still have to be disciplined as its not a magic pill, but for me it has changed my life!"


"Diarrhea only lasted a day. I was pleasantly surprised how fast Viibryd began working. I felt so much better not even five days into taking it, which NEVER happens with me! I thought I had finally found a medication that worked after six years. About two months into taking it I had gained about ten pounds, my vision had gotten worse, my sex drive had gone from being very very high to literally NOTHING (took three months after I stopped taking for it to return), and my depression and anxiety were back in full swing.  It wasn't normal depression where everything is just boring and you're lethargic and what not, it was the angry, scary, unpredictable depression I've only experienced from bad reactions to other medication in the past."


"I have had a chronic depression since I was about 2 years old.  Paxil lifted the feelings of always walking around in depression and changed them to a normal level of feelings and emotions! Who could ask for more?"


"Been taking Microgestin for three months. (Had to get off Levora because of seriously chronic nausea)The first month on Microgestin I was just a couple hours late taking a pill and bled almost immediately. Second and third months haven't missed a pill and my periods have been almost nonexistent. Super scary on month two but really an appreciated bonus I hope continues."


"Just too expensive.  $200 AND 3 months later the side effects were too much for me and only 5 lbs gone.  Was on support group on facebook but seems its been pulled."


"I absolutely love Cymbalta if do not take it along with my pain medicines, my pain medicines do not work very well. Big difference without my Cymbalta. Don't know what I'd do without it."


"The procedure was pretty painful but really short. I had some pretty decent cramping directly after. I went straight home feeling kind of achy, and sat and watched netflicks with a heating pad for a few hours thinking 'ok when is it going to get bad?'. I got up and went to target to see how I felt walking around, I had some cramping after walking around. Next day went to work, I hardly bled at all but I did feel achy. Later on day 2 my boyfriend and I were able to have sex. (with no issues) Day 3 no bleeding, light cramping. Day 4 (today) no bleeding or cramping. So far, it has been a good experience!"


"I started on 25 mcg of Synthroid two weeks ago and it has made me short tempered.  The effect is subtle, but its there."


"I took Viorele for a single month. I have experienced the worst acne I've had in YEARS, my depression has gotten significantly worse, my blood pressure (which is usually spot on perfect) is frequently high, and my mood swings are horrible."


"Hi there! I decided to hop on the bandwagon and write a review if I got my period. Thankfully, here I am, writing this review. I am 18 years old. My boyfriend and I waited 3 years of our relationship to have sex in case a contraceptive fail happened. After having been together for a full 3 years, we had sex! We have been having occasional sex for a while after that and it has been going fine. However, last time, one of our biggest fears came true. The condom broke. At 18 years old, the last thing I want to be is a mom. Him and I have a whole bright future ahead of us. He has gotten many scholarships and has been accepted into a nice college. Luckily, we are fine but let this be a lesson. You have your whole life ahead of you!"


"Bupropion will ruin your sex life. No more  sexual desires, no more full erections ,  if you really don't need it, don't take it.   I am a a pharmacist ,  I hear complaints all day.  Good for depression"


"I started taking Phentermine on 10/2, took 1/2 pill for three days and have since been taking full tablet.  I have a history of high BP, but have not noticed much change in that. Had initial body fat level of 33. So far have lost 3-4 lbs. Side effects are dry mouth, a little nausea, but most irritating and concerning to me is the extreme sweating. I easily get drenched with sweat, with the slightest amount of exertion. Tomorrow I'm going back to 1/2 tablet and see if that helps. Is anyone else having this side effect and how do you handle it? Thanks in advance."


"I have been on and off Seroquel generic instant release for years.  Doses anywhere from 25 mg to 300 mg.  It works for me absolutely.   Have tried Zyprexa, Geodon, Risperdal, Latuda and Saphris.  Always back to Seroquel though.  Calms racing thoughts, squashes anxiety with the hammer of Thor, sleep like a stone.  No weight gain for me, worst side effect is headache for me.  Great med, recommend it for BPD. Bipolar, Anxiety or Panic and Insomnia."


"Citalopram is the best thing that ever happened to me. It was like a cloud was lifted and I could see everything in my life clearly. It is amazing and I have very minimal side effects. Just more intense dreams and at first it messed up my sleep schedule. I would be tired alot and then not be able to fall asleep. But that passed after a few weeks. Ive been on it for about 9 months now and it is still working great!"


"I started taking antibiotics for my acne because of a benzoyl peroxide allergy and severe facial sensitivity that made topicals almost impossible. Started with 6 months on doxycycline which worked fantastic but made me terribly nauseous no matter what I did. Two months after, my acne came back twice as bad so I started minocycline. No side affects and it worked quickly and effectively! After finishing a six month course, my skin did get worse but then evened out and I'm now happy with how it looks. It's not a permanent fix or even a fix for everyone and you've got to stay consistent with topicals when you go off of it but you'll start to see the effects two weeks in and by a month your skin will look amazing!"


"Okay great so I'm not pregnant, but wow my head is pounding and my stomach is all over the place. I have never experienced cramps this horrible. This sucks but I guess it's better than a baby."


"I asked my doctor for a different type of antibiotic to take for this urinary tract infection instead of Cipro. This is my second day taking Bactrim for my UTI and I can already see improvement! It feels like the infections almost gone. I do however get a little bit of an upset stomach so eat something substantial just before taking it and drink a few more bottles of water than normal and you will be golden!"


"I am 41 years old. I have been taking Boniva for the last 3 months with no side effects so far. Fingers crossed."


"This pill is awesome. I am 43 yrs old and have used it for about one year now. I love this pill; it lasts me for about 2 to 3 days. You feel like you are in your 20's and you can go more than one round and on top of that in about 15 minutes after ejaculating the rocket is ready to launch."


"I took one pill at night.  I slept all night and all the next day.   Do not recommend.  I slept all day so don't even know if it worked for allergies.  Nowhere on the package did I see warning about sleep problem and no additional instructions in the box.  Stuck with expensive product  that I cannot use.  In my mind drowsiness is not the same as being sound asleep for over 24 hours."


"I was taking Maxzide for several years and had to stop, temporarily, for other health issues. Within days, my face was so puffy, had gained 8 pounds and then my ankes and feet became very swollen and achey. I sure hope the doctor will let me start taking it again and figure out a different resolution for the other issue!"

"I've been on this for about a year or so. I didn't like it at first, I got nauseous and couldn't eat, and got terrible headaches. Now everything is fine. No weight gain, my breasts may have gotten a 1/2 cup bigger. No effect on my sex drive. No pregnancies, so it gets the job done!"


"I have been on a few meds for Overactive Bladder and they have all had the same intolerable dry mouth.  I have been on this product for a little less than a month and not seen any side effects and my symptoms are better. It is a higher co-pay, but worth the symptom relief!"


"My colonoscopy was booked in for late afternoon on a Thursday. The hospital said to stop eating anything from 1pm on the Wednesday and recommended (giving some detail) a non fibre diet from Tuesday evening until Wednesday noon - avoiding dark drinks and jelly (like blackcurrant flavour). Avoid red meat, sausages and pies; fruit, vegetables and salad; potato skins or fries, wholemeal or brown bread; nuts, pulses, baked beans; wholemeal pasta, brown rice; puddings containing fruit or nuts; cakes and biscuits, yoghurts. Preferred are white skinless meat like chicken, grilled or poached fish, cheese, eggs; white bread, pasta, rice; boiled or mashed potatoes, water, fizzy drinks, fruit squash (not blackcurrant), clear soups, tea or coffee, shredless marmalade or jam, ice cream, custard, clear jelly, butter, margarine.

The hospital also instructed me to start taking Moviprep, one packet (A + B) at 7pm Wednesday evening; and then another packet (A+B) starting from 6am Thursday. On each occasion I was told to drink the mixture at 250ml a time over 1 to 2 hours. On each occasion I was also to take 500ml of clear water AND to take some sugary drinks to maintain blood sugar levels – non-diet carbonated drinks i.e. Coca Cola, Lucozade, or ginger ale, any other clear sugary fluids such as clear apple juice (but NOT other fruit juices); water alone not being sufficient. A spoonful of honey is suggested if sugary drinks are not liked.

On Wednesday evening I mixed the two Moviprep packets (A + B) with 1 litre of water in a large jug. It tasted mildly of lemon but, because of warnings about taste, I downed each 250ml in seconds (rather than sip it) so as not to have to agonise over the taste. Starting at 7am the fourth dose was finished at 8pm. The drug started having an effect at about 7.45pm and thereafter it was a matter of getting to the lavatory frequently and quickly for about 3 to 4 hours. I went to bed at midnight but had to get up again at 2am and two more occasions up to 4am; though not in so much of a hurry. I took the 500ml of water after the final dose and about 250ml of Lucozade after that.  I was also told to use, what we in the UK, call vaseline to prevent soreness of skin on the buttocks. This I did not do but regretted it. Just before midnight I was so sore that I did apply some vaseline ready for Thursday morning and it paid dividends.

On Thursday morning I went through the same procedure again applying the vaseline again before starting. This time the emissions were yellow and eventually pretty clear. Also the emissions pretty much (though not entirely) finished by 8am, much quicker than the night before. I can only assume there was nothing left to eject. All in all it was not a pleasant chore but a fair price to pay to get the job done."


"Started taking June 2013, once a week.  4 weeks into taking started having headaches but didn't connect the dots.  Then started having severe sharp pain in back and upper right behind rib cage. Pain so severe, went to ER, where they didn't know the cause (had my gallbladder removed 18 yrs ago).  Finally spoke to my primary and the connection was made."


"Horrible drug. Do not take this.

I was up to 250 mg before I decided to quit cold turkey. I was hearing things, nauseous, seeing things. I thought I was going insane.

I was a first timer in meds and I had to work on top of it. I fully trusted the doctor to prescribe me the right meds. The doctor laughed me off when I told him what I went through.  I thought I was going to die. After taking this drug I can never trust doctors again. It ruined me. He acted like it was no big deal.

Do not take this drug lightly. I'm so surprised that dotors are so cautious about giving benzos but not antidepressants.  They only care about the money  they are getting paid by big pharma. Don't get me wrong some meds work. But be careful you only get one brain"


"This drug just about killed me.. so be careful.  I took it for several months then I had an unexpected severe reaction.  I woke up one morning numb/tingling from head to toe - (like when your arm falls asleep).  I stopped taking it - it took about 4 weeks before all the tingling to finally go away."


"This is the one and only thing that has helped my acne.
I have tried both oral and topical antibiotics, oral antibiotics helped for a while however my body became used to the drug and the effects wore off and my acne returned.
At one point I was considering roaccutane but I am so glad I didn't.
The two things with this cream is time and persistence. At first it will seem everything is worse, dry/burning/peeling skin which is red raw. Only apply minimally at first (1 small blob) and allow your skin to get used to the cream otherwise your skin will burn. After time you can start to apply more. I have been using for 4 months now and I apply twice daily but still have to be careful not to apply too much otherwise I do feel the ill effects."


"I've been on it for about 1 1/2 years now and at first it worked great at keeping me on a schedule. However at this point, if I forget to take it just for one day within a month of the day I'm supposed to start the placebo, then I'm going to start on the missed day instead. It seems like it's losing it's strength on me because I'm getting more acne around "that" time. The hormone fluctuations are still pretty obvious to my body because I still get migraines. No change in cramps, but as long as they're not worse, I'm okay with it. With those negatives out of the way, I can say that I haven't gained any weight and as long as I don't forget, it does a pretty good job of keeping me on the 90 day schedule."


"I am almost done with my 28 day pack and I AM NOT HAPPY. I'm having the heaviest period of my life (5 days in and still absurd cramps, constant heavy flow- TMI sorry). My body is literally freaking out on me. I am a slim, active girl but I am sluggish, gaining weight (HOW), and my skin is not clearing up on Sprintec. It might just be me. My body might just be changing with age, but I'm sharing my experience anyway. I'm throwing away my next month's pack and saving myself from this misery."


"After being on a rather absurd amount of birth controls in the past 6 years, this was the only one that didn't cause me to have yeast infections. Most obgyn's do not believe birth control can cause yeast infections, but After 30 days of remaining on Lutera and Diflucan, I believe mine was convinced. I was given Lo Loestrin and I have not had a single yeast infection for 6 months. I don't feel as moody on this birth control, and my body acts as though I'm not even on birth control. This is a negative for me because I have no breasts without a high dose of hormones. Overall I think its wonderful, and I recommend this if you have the same issues as I experienced with other birth controls.  I did experience acne when starting, on the second month I had none."


"I've been taking the shots for 6 months now and have only had 2 episodes of mild asthma. Before the shots, I had severe asthma for 27 years and was on steroids for 27 years. Needless to say, my bones have suffered the consequence of steroids. I wish this drug wasn't so expensive. It saves lives. It changes lives but most people can't afford it!  Including myself.  I was completely disabled from asthma, but medicaid approved this drug for me for 6 months.  I has made an amazing difference."


"I was on this pill for almost 7 years straight.  I had zero issues with side effects. No mood swings, nausea, depression or changes in appetite.  Sex drive was the same if not increased.  I had fluctuated with weight on this pill but it was because of bad diets.  I ended up loosing the weight with proper eating habits and exercise.  The problem I have with this pill is that towards the end of my time on it I started getting break through bleeding.  IT IS ANNOYING.  Otherwise this pill is perfect for me.  I went off the pill for a few years and went back on to this because of ovarian cysts.  After a few months the breakthrough bleeding still came back.  Sometimes it's so light I don't notice, other times it's like having a second period."


"I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is having a horrible break out because of this pill.  I've been taking it for 1.5 months, and my face, chest and back started to break out.  In addition, it is very expensive.  The one positive thing I did experience, is no bad headaches during my period like I used to get with other pills. Will go back to another pill that doesn't cause me these bad breakouts."


"Prescribed this drug following hernia surgery. Took awhile for it to kick in but when it did it worked great. Had to take every 6 hours to remain effective. Stopped taking as soon as pain got better to avoid building up tolerance;may need it again in a month or so. I'm having oral surgery."


"I'm a man with UTI which is much less common than in women.  My Dr. tells me that my case is fairly bad and seems surprised that I didn't complain more about the considerable pain while urinating.  He prescribed antibiotics to heal the infection and this drug to help with pain and urgent feeling of needing to go.  I experienced gut wrenching nearly vomit inducing pain while urinating on this medicine while prior to dosage I was experiencing discomfort to start urine flow but manageable pain that subsided when ending urination.  The primary difference with this medication seemed to  be more severe pain and less ability to stop it than before I was using the drug.  I'll NEVER take another dosage again.  Really, really rough for me."


"I'm 16 and this is the first birth control I've ever been on. My doctor prescribed Ortho Tri-Cyclen to help control my acne, but because of my insurance I was given Tri-Sprintec. I just started my second week and there have been NO side effects whatsoever. Which is a good/bad thing. I was extremely worried about gaining a massive amount of weight or becoming intensely moody or something but nothing's happened so far. My acne hasn't changed at all, nor has anything else. I'm sticking to it though, hopefully it'll just take some more time to kick in."


"LOVE the way this medicine work.  We could just leave it on a little longer to get through homework time!  BUT the irritation was just too much for her skin.  She had raised whelps/sores for several weeks after discontinuing the meds."


"I was on Opdivo for 6 months. It really set me back, I had to quit it before it killed me."


"Began adipex on 7/7/16, feeling great about it and a little nervous at the same time. I started out at 233 lbs and I am 5'5" so I was pretty chunky.. a 38.77 on the BMI chart to be exact... Well, I changed the way I ate, I only ate salads, meats, nuts and slim jims for the first week and I lost 12 pounds in 7 days. I cut out all sugary drinks, Haven't touched a drink with sugar in it since the 6th of July, so very proud of myself! Well, to cut this short, I now weigh 183 lbs and I'm still losing even though I'm not on this pill anymore. Just stick to your diet & you'll be good to go! It's hard at first, but I promise you get used to it fast & it just becomes natural!! GOOD LUCK!"


"I have used and still use Hydrocodone IBP10/200 it works for me. I take 3 to 4 pills a day for cronic pain it works good."


"Husband has been on Endocet for 7 years. It was the only narcotic pain reliever that works for him.  He refuses to accept other generics as they do not work as well for him.

I am sure body chemistry plays a roll in which med works for each individual.  For him, Endocet is the best."


"I was on the shot for almost 2 years since my doctor didn't want me on the pill because I have high blood pressure due to my first pregnancy. Well it backfired, I gained 30 pounds after starting the shot, became extremely depressed, mood swings, and my sex drive completely gone. Also I am blonde and my leg hair turned brown. I have been on the shot for almost 4 months and have started spotting very little and acne on my back, migraines and wicked cramps. "


"I used to be extremely uptight and I am now very laid back, it feels like a dream.  If I dig or look for my anxious thoughts, they are gone. I suffered from uncontrollable panic and crying, also extreme nervousness.  I can now see things in my life more clearer.  I was extremely uptight for the last 5 years and now I am more laid back, I'm sad because I wish I had done this sooner.  Lost the love of my life because of my horrible depression and I feel like if I had been on this sooner, I wouldn't have pushed him away with my panicky behavior which I thought was just my personality!  We don't choose depression/anxiety, it is a disease.  I thought it was "me" for years!  Feel a bit guilty about not going on it sooner. I am 23/Female."


"Did anyone else have a problem with the insert actually staying in? Either the plunger doesn't work correctly or the insert just starts sliding down, I don't know. It does stop the itching and burning temporarily."


"I am very prone to yeast infections. Especially while on birth control, for the most part really good probiotics clear it right up but I had slight symptoms of a yeast infection for the past week and the probiotics aren't doing the trick so I had a diflucan lying around from when I was on a zpak. Decided to just take it and see if it would help. I'm having an awful reaction my vagina is 100 times itchier. Don't take it. Go out and buy a great probiotic, so much better and all natural. I'm regretting taking it. :("


"I just started taking 5 mg Brintellix yesterday.  Because of the fear of nausea I decided to take it before bedtime along with my Ativan to make sure I sleep good and not wake up if there is any nausea. I ate some bread with it too. I woke up this morning feeling fine. No nausea! I had some
Weird dreams though! Will update!"


"I have only been on this medicine for 3 days.  It tastes very bad.  Use a Listerine strip if you don't like the taste.  It is not that bad for me.  I take it twice a day, but I have to drink a pot of coffee in the morning so not to fall asleep.  I feel better, not sure if it it is the coffee or the medicines.  I do sleep very well with it.  Haven't had this much sleep in years."


"Took 500mg 3 times per day for 14 days to treat a c. diff infection. Within the 1st week the side effects kicked in. Horrible taste in my mouth 24/7 then followed by constant nausea, loss of appetite. I was so nauseous by the end that I couldn't get off the couch. Took it with meals, and I haven't had an alcoholic drink in 3 yrs. Chewed gum all the time to deal with the taste. Horrible side effects, but very effective. Was feeling normal again within a few days of starting it."


"Abreva used to work for me very well, but it no longer does. I used to put it on and it would shorten healing time significantly, and if I caught it early enough would go away before blistering. The last couple of times I caught one right away and put it on at the first tiny tingle. It still spread to a huge multi-blister sore and took 2 weeks to heal. Either my body has grown resistant to the active ingredient in Abreva that used to work, or they have changed their formula. Very disappointed."


"It did reduce my blood pressure but it made me itch"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I am in the midst of taking it now. The instructions clearly say to drink 32 more ounces of liquid . After I nearly vomited finishing the actual prep. Then I had to drink the water. Give it a few minutes and I vomited the whole thing up. So I haven’t used the bathroom once since taking it at 7 pm and it’s now 9 pm. Hoping the second bottle does something, but might need to reschedule my appointment."


"I would try anything, I had grown up with the most painful periods, every start of my period had me laying on the bathroom floor crying, and vomiting. It was terrible and not a way to live I went to my doctor and asked for help she suggested this told me some women had bad experiences but I didn't care. Ladies listen to me very carefully the first couple months are going to be terrible because your body is not used to the lack of hormones missing from your everyday life. So yes my ache was terrible I gained weight because I would get the shakes if I didn't eat, I didn't have any energy and I was so moody like to the point I thought I would have a nervous break down, I spotted for two weeks at a time, but now I have no periods and I'm normal"


"I have been taking dramamine for years (since I was a child) to prevent my terrible motion sickness. It works incredibly well at keeping me from getting nauseated. My only problem with it is that it makes me so drowsy! If it is a shortish flight or bus ride, I still get nauseous but don't always want to take a dramamine because I'll be so drowsy once arriving at my destination. A 4+ hour flight/bus/boat though, and dramamine is for sure the way to go, particularly if it is overnight travel and you will be wanting to sleep anyway."


"I took Avonez for 3 1/2 years.  I experienced the flu-like reaction about 70% of the time.  I fell frequently and was extremely depressed.  I did the injections in late afternoon (Friday) and was down for 24 -48 hours.  My recent MRI showed more MS activity.  I am now trying a different medication."


"I felt compelled  to get on a write a review because Most of the reviews sound so bad that I almost didn't get it but I am so happy I did. Yes, insertion does hurt. I had mine put in while I wasn't on my cycle which supposedly makes it worse, and no lie, it did suck. But it's less then 5 mins and that's nothing when comparing the security of contraception. I was crampy for about 1 week while thing settled, but I took 1 alieve and the pain subsided. I also had spotting during that week but then it went away. Now I don't feel it at all, and my partner doesn't either. Before my IUD my periods were approx 4-5 days with only using maybe 2-3 Tampons a day, now they are slightly heavier, 3-4 a day for about 6-7 days. I've had it for 4 mo. And I love it!"


"I started taking TriNessa about three months ago as a primary birth control while I am on Isotretinoin (Accutane).  Overall, I have had a positive experience with it; I haven't had any nausea, headaches, abnormal mood swings, or acne flares.  The main negative thing I have to say is when my first period started while taking this I had the WORST cramps ever, and a pretty heavy flow.  However, my second period rolled around, and I did not have any cramps at all plus a normal flow!  The only other side effects I have experienced are hair loss and some breast tenderness."


"Took this medication for over 6 months with no discernable difference in BS. No side effect, however on Medicare the charges increase to over $ 500.00 per month in the  Doughnut Hole - without a discount available. Stopped taking it after reading some very negative reviews of this Drug and the Approval Process."


"Silenor was a nightmare for me. I stuck with it for about 3 weeks and thought I was going out of my mind. I did not sleep at all for the first 4 days and then the hallucinations began. If I did sleep it was in for about 30 minutes at a time and then the terrible nightmares kept me awake for the rest of the night. "


"I love this pill. I used to be on the nuva ring but swiched because it caused a cyst on my ovary. And caused my vigina to be tender during sex and would slip out. I'm so happy I switched the microgestin. I've been on it for 1 year now.  My skin is clear , my sex drive is the same. And it doesn't hurt to have sex . And I don't have a period anymore. But when I do its very light, to where I only need panty liners.  And only 2 days long"


"She is a new and exciting person.  After 60 days on Seroquel it's like having our daughter returned to us.  New and improved...Happy and Engaged in Life.   Thank You So Much."


"I absolutely hate this birth control method! I had the implant placed in May 2015 right before I left to college. First 3 months I was fine. Then it got awful. My periods prior lasted 3-4 days and were super light. Now they last 20-24 days and are relatively heavy. I never had acne in my life and now I get major breakouts and my back now has bacne!! Not to mention that when I got this inserted I was 128. I'm 5'3 btw. And I was a 3 sport athlete. Very in shape and muscular. I never had a problem losing weight, ever! I could always bounce back and be fit. From when I started college in August 2015 to the end of freshman year may 2016 I gain 8 pounds. So I was 136. Now I'm 166. In 2 years 40lb gain! I cannot lose weight to save my life! :("


"I got off of this birth control this month because I have gained almost 30lbs since I started it in May and it is now December and I'm gigantic. I got an IUD today and I'm hoping my weight will get under control now."


"Burning sensation when I pee meant a trip to the Dr. The doctor prescribed Cipro 500mg twice daily for one week. Cleared up the problem quickly."


"So I was diagnosed with trich yesterday (cheating  ex boyfriend gave it to me) . My ob-gyn prescribed me Flagyl 500mg x 4 pills for 1 single dose. 24 hours have passed since I took the medication and I feel much better. I'm having less vaginal irritation, burning and I feel comfortable down there. It also helps that my doctor also prescribed me lidocaine jelly which helps numb the area"


"I would not recommend Lyrica to anyone.   I had severe neck pain and nerve issues, and prescribed Lyrica, slowly increasing my dosage.   I was up to a total of 300mg twice a day and the medicine had an issue with the Zoloft I was taking causing Serotonin Syndrome.  I didn't feel a significant change in pain after taking Lyrica for over 3 months.  After I had my neck surgery, I started slowly decreasing my Lyrica.   It has absolutely been the worst medicine to come off of.   Decreasing dosages as small as 25mg impacted my whole life.   I couldn't stay awake, was in a cloud, felt nauseous and completely un-motivated.  If I ever knew these side effects were a potential I would have never started taking this med.  Advise taking with caution!"


"I was taking sprintec and never had any issue there. Then I moved and the new pharmacy gave me this generic one. I thought they would be the same and I was completely wrong. I took them for three nights just to get my body used to the change. Each night the pain got worse and worse. I was waking up at 2am with terrible abdominal pains and I could not stop throwing up. I stopped taking them yesterday and today my stomach is feeling a little better. I am now going to get back on sprintec."


"My 6.5 year old son has been taking this medicine for over a year.  A few months after taking it, we switched him to Ritalin but the Ritalin made his behavior crazy.  I don't have much to complain about this medicine.  Any ADHD medication is going to make your child zombie-like.  My son takes 10MG XR in the morning and I can literally see the switch in his personality in about 10 minutes.  He is supposed to take 5mg non extended release after school, however, I hardly give that to him anymore.  I sometimes break the 5mg pill in half and just have him take 2.5mg to focus on his homework, if I see him struggling.  We just had his medication reduced to 5MG in the morning, 2.5 after lunch and 2.5 later in the afternoon - waiting to see how this works out."


"Did not work. Have vaginal itching, irritation from it and urinary urgency and frequency. Also, gave me a sore throat. Bacterial Vaginitis still present."


"Insert:Jan 2014.It does the job as far as not getting you pregnant! I will say that I've had lots of mood swings & do feel depressed at times BUT I don't want anymore kids (have one) so this is still perfect for me.When I first got it I didn't have a period for about 10 months,then the first time I had sex on it my period came back on & would stay on for weeks,go off for days then come back on. This is the 2nd yr & after my period went off about a week later I had sex & had a period after that but now I don't have one.. Only thing I HATE about this BC is that it makes me feel like I could be pregnant & ive gained a lot of weight. At first I was losing it (also breastfeeding) but now I can't stop eating & gaining weight & have symptoms."


"I used Monistat 1 on a Tuesday for a yeast infection. I am pleased to say that it is now Friday and I am 100% better. I had no increase in discharge, if the ovule is placed correctly then discharge should be minimal. I will warn any users that yeast infections can delay the start of your period based in studies I read. Mine has delayed three days at this point and pregnancy test came up negative. Good luck!"


"I have been on several Ulcerative Colitis medicines for the past 10 years.  Lialda has been amazing - I feel like a normal person.  Asacol worked for me but I could never remember to take it 3 times a day.  Lialda was 4 pills (a bit big) once in the morning. Lialda has been my life changer.  I heard it is outrageously expensive but with good insurance it is very manageable."


"I got the Mirena implanted two days ago (Wednesday June 17, 2015) and so far it has been close to the easiest thing I've ever had to do. I'm 18 years old and I've never had a baby, I got the Mirena to use as a form of birth control. I took 880 mg of aleve 1 hour before my appointment and the whole process took maybe 10 minutes. I've only had one Pap smear before and she even had to dilate me a little bit but it didn't hurt worse than my worst period cramps- you just have to breathe through it. I had light spotting for the rest of the day and some mild cramps that felt better when I laid down and used a heating pad. Now I'm in no pain at all and I am happy and have energy and am VERY happy that I got this done!"


"I have been on Tysabri since Jan 2015. Every month, about 7 days before my next infusion, my body is completely ravished with joint pain, pain & fatigue in my arms and legs. I have a cob web feeling in my left shoulder blade and my hands remain numb. I have been forced to go to the ER because the pain was intolerable. A few times I made it to my infusion but couldn't walk and the pain was so great they had to give me Dilaudid before my infusion. It usually takes 3  days after the infusion for the pain to subside . Every single month I spend 10 days in hell, but I am blessed to get 20 days of normal life. The FDA needs to understand that this drug does not last 28 days, this should be a 21 day cycle, otherwise people suffer with this drug."


"After trying over 5 medications (Lithium, welburtin, on, on,) I thought nothing would work and got into a really bad depressive episode not leaving house for months at time and thinking of just ending it all. Than finally heard of Abilify and it saved me. I am now up early, open blinds, smile, do things, laugh and im only on my second week. I am at 10 mg day and have No side effects, nothing but happiness. This medication saved my life, because after years of trying other non responsive medications I thought I couldnt live like that no more. Abilify is all i take but I heard you can add zoloft to it for a even better effect on depression and bipolar. I hope everyone find happiness and the sun shines for you.

peace and love"


"Y'ALL. This is only my 5th day on Epiduo Forte, so I don't have much insight on the medicine's effectiveness... BUT I have the cure for the burning sensation the product leaves!
I got off work tonight & immediately washed my face. I use a Clearasil scrub daily, and that irritated my skin horribly! I then applied the Epiduo & my skin began to burn! I do not have sensitive skin whatsoever so I was unsure what to do. My initial thought was to apply moisturizer, which made it worse! I figured I'd let the pain pass... it didn't!
After an hour it finally hit me- VITAMIN E! I use this under my eyes to prevent wrinkles and thought it might help. I specifically used Sundown Vitamin E Oil, and just applied a thin layer to my face. It worked wonders!"


"I have been taking a low dose of Gabapentin,100 mg for a week,  changed my life,  I had ablation done 6 years ago, I was grateful,  but....hot flashes overwhelming. ..I am so grateful. !!! Waking up the first morning rested,  dry, no hot flashes all day!! In  a week, no side effects. I am sleeping good, dry, its awesome.  I actually was cold, from a/c.. Anyone suffering,  ask your Doc..., I noticed my foot pain has diminished, I ready to go dancing an work up a happy sweat!!!!"


"Thank God for this medication.  It has allowed me to have a life.  Initially there was some nausea, but after a couple of days it subsided.  Before I was honestly suicidal because I could not get relief from my back/hip pain.  Now, most of the time, I'm able to function like a normal person.  "


"There should be a WARNING on this, NOT to take while driving. Can make you extremely dizzy, spaced out, eye pain, etc."


"My Cardiologist prescribed Praluent to control cholestoral. I had one injection in October of 2015. within 24 hours my joints swelled to the point where for example I could not safely grasp my steering wheel. My B/P rose by 52 points to 191/ 106. My Cardiologist made no diagnosis outside of it might not be the Praulent, but began to try every drug that was available.

My new normal B/P is  161/98. I have contacted the manufacturer talked generlities for an hour,who cordially let me speak with their research person and we but was unable to get any list of could be's or look for's.

After perusing the Internet today, I find that the injection could have caused Vasculitis or Immunogenicity."


"Great at first, but I got tolerance within a couple weeks. At first it was like I was 16 years old but with a lot more stamina. But the super erection effect didn't last past 3 weeks."


"I am new to having to use insulin, and I hate injections. While this lantus works well to control my blood sugar, twice now, the pen has lock up with 30 units of insulin remaining. Forcing me to open a new pen and inject myself a second time to complete the prescribed dosage, this along with the loss now of 60 units of medication is very annoying."


"I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis about 12 years ago and have been on Remicade for about 2 of those years. I am still taking Asacol and getting the Remicade infusions every 8 weeks, but I feel about 90-95% better since being on Remicade. I have not noticed any real side effects from taking Remicade, but I have heard from other patients that they have had them. I still think that if I had any side effects (with the exception) of major ones, I would stay on it as long as I can. The only thing I honestly can complain about is the cost. I would say if anyone is being told that it is an option for their ulcerative colitis or any of the other issues that are in the same family (IBS, Crohn's, etc) it is a huge help."


"Made me blurry, drowsy and cognitive dulling. Short trial only (two weeks) then stopped due to side effects."


"Very bad cough, congestion, sneezing with flu symptoms. After the 1st dose, the coughing had almost subsided and made me drowsy enough to get some much needed rest since not sleeping in about 48 hours. It felt warm in my throat and chest which took away that "burning" feeling. I only used 3 days before cough was barely noticeable."


"This handy little device is great for vacation or just the diabetic on the go."


"Reading these reviews will make people anxious to try this medication. All I will say is to keep in mind most of these people are taking multiple pills at once (you should start with one then progress as needed) and/or they're not drinking enough water with the pill. You should drink about two glasses worth of water and keep drinking a full glass every hour or so.

I take this medication because my meds give me constipation quite badly and the doctor said to drink a lot of water with it. Don't take anything that effects the stomach like Zantac or Prevacid for the first hour, so the bisacodyl isn't hindered by anything."


"Aderrall has really helped me stay alert and concentrate, as I have chronic pain issues which leave me sleepy and unfocused.  I have the energy to enjoy life again.  I do have difficulty sleeping, and also since I do not take XR can "crush" it  if I forget my second dose. I have noticed it makes me most irritable and difficult to be around.  This side effect seems to have waned over time, but I am still occasionally cranky when it wears off."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I have had five injections of Neulasta in conjunction with chemo therapy.  The only side effect I notice is one that is not listed.  About 12 hours after the injection I develop a headache, low grade fever, and very tender glands. This lasts 48 hours and eases away.  It does improve my counts."


"I am a 21 year old, no kids, I was on the pill for a couple years- absolutely nothing wrong with it except for that fact that I hated worrying about taking it every morning (especially on trips, weekends, staying over at my boyfriend's house, etc) such a hassle! So I got Mirena in about 3 weeks ago. I absolutely love it so far. It was semi-painful to insert, I felt cramping for a couple hours, and very tired all day long but woke up the next morning and felt almost 100% normal! The cramping and expected bleeding/spotting stopped after about a week and I literally have noticed no side effects since. Also, I have dropped 5 lbs I believe due to the lack of hormones from the pill, so I'm back to my normal weight! Love this and would recommend to all."


"It's amazing what this medicine does!! I have been a smoker for 15-16 yrs. I was up to a pack a day easily.  I'm on week 3 and have already quit smoking! I don't get the dreams others talk about mine are just normal.  I was kinda wanting the dreams as I don't dream much lol.  My only side affect to report is I do wake up in the middle of the night only once though and I'm able to go right back to sleep.

I quit in 2007 with the patch and let me tell you Chantix is way easier! My insurance paid my RX 100% which was a wonderful surprises at checkout. If you have tried it all and wasn't able to quit you really should try Chantix! Why? Because it works!! Get your life back get your money back too Happy Quitting :)"


"Thiss pill makes it alot easier to cope with life and its everyday activities. Some side effects are obvious but this really does work"


"I started taking Viibryd ramping up to 40 mg. I did well for a while and was feeling good. However, I started experiencing tingling in my feet. It steadily got worse. I finally went to a neurologist for my feet problem. He told me to stop the Viibryd."


"I am an RN in the over 65 population, and used Prevident 5000 Plus for 3 months.  I had to discontinue it due to sensitivity, noted to be a higher risk in my age group.  The sensitivity wasn't immediate, but gradual, with increasing tongue and throat soreness and GI upset over time, until it reached a level that could not be ignored.  In the 36 hours since discontinuing it, the discomfort has reduced considerably, so it seems to be the culprit.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to tolerate this long enough to judge its effectiveness for prevention."


"I have been on Pristiq for about a year now, I have depression, and rage disorder, I have been a lot better but recently I am starting to feel as though I just don't care to go on. I am not sure if I am developing a tolerance to the drug but I am starting to worry about getting the blues completely back. I had an episode recently where I went straight to rage, no being upset or mad, just straight to aggression. I yelled and screamed but did not hurt anyone. I have not felt like this since before Pristiq. I am only posting this to warn of what may be down the road for some. I have an appointment with my doctor to see what is next. Just when I thought this was over."


"I had the implant placed in my arm in June of 2015. In the beggining everything was great. My skin cleared up and I had no periods at all, which is great. After 3-4 months I began gaining weight. I started putting on 4 lbs here and there every month. I've gained 20 lbs in a about a year and half. I also feel that I'm always moody and anxious. I've never suffered from

Anxiety until I got this implant. Could it be all the weight gain? Maybe but I've finally decided to take the next step and have it removed. Besides the weight gain, anxiety, depression and moodiness this implant has prevented me from conceiving which is great! But the side effects are not worth it for me anymore. I will be getting it out December, 2 2016! And taking the pill!"


"I began Belviq in August 2015. Overall I was very pleased with my results. I took it religiously for 3 months, and lost 30 pounds! The only side effect I experienced was weight loss.  I had to make myself eat, and used My Fitness Pal to journal my nutrition/calories. I tried to stick to a 1000 to 1200 calorie limit, but most of the time I ate less.
The down side to Belviq: just after I ordered anothe 3 month supply, it quit working altogether. I tried waiting a month, then trying again, unfortunately, it no longer worked for me...period. I was devastated. I have switched to another weight loss program, but too soon to see results."


"I'm a 46yr old female with cystic/hormonal acne. My dermatologist just prescribed this medication to me a few days ago, along with Retin A and Solodyne (oral antibiotic). The Aczone leaves my skin very white and dry in the areas I put it on. My whole chin area, jaw area is like walking around with white chalk on my face. I do use moisturizer over it, but it still returns when the moisturizer dries. The cystic bumps appears to gotten smaller rather quickly which is what I like about it. I just don't like the dry white flakiness it leaves behind. Maybe I'll switch to only at night and see what happens."


"Works great but expensive"


"Nightmare! I was on the xulane birth control patch for 2 full months. I have felt like a complete Zombie with no energy at all. I can feel depression, anxiety and mood swings getting worse. I'm starting to get headaches and nausea which I have never experienced before. The patch doesn't stick very well on the skin. I've gotten rashes and it's always itchy at the site. I'm giving up on birth control because the crippling mental side effects are not worth it. I'm going back to condoms forever. BEWARE the mental/emotional side effects sneak up on you over time."


"Xanax made me a normal person again. I had bouts of anxiety seemingly my entire life, but it didn't become debilitating until I reached my 20s and became overwhelmed with everything on my plate and I lost sight of who I was. I couldn't focus on anything because I was too worried about school and work and my health issues. It became too much, and I dropped out of school with a 4.0! Anxiety stole my life away, but Xanax gave me the strength to gain it back. I'm finally about to graduate, have a wonderful job, and just recently got engaged! I am a normal person, and I thank anxiety for calming my brain and enabling me to live a beautiful, productive life. I highly recommend it if you genuinely suffer from debilitating anxiety."


"Best laxative out there! I have chronic constipation due to psych meds. I've tried every laxative out there, and have a very healthy, plant based diet etc. but nothing has helped. Milk of magnesia is the only effective remedy I've found. Best to take it on an empty stomach- it doesn't seem to work if you're full of food- and drink lots of water. Within 2 hours of taking 4tbsp I had 2 bowel movements. No cramps or bloating or pain or diarrhea. This stuff works great."


"I've been using Retin-A for about a week now. If you have oily skin or experience breakouts every morning like me, I would definitely recommend this. I use the .01% dosage recommended by my doctor. They told me I may experience peeling of the skin. My skin has peeled in some spots, but it's not very noticeable. I removed the peeled skin by using baking soda and water(great exfoliant!) Skin varies by person. I've given up on every acne regimen and decided to see my doctor. I swear by this stuff. All my acne scars are fading and my skin has become significantly smoother."


"Ativan is the best drug ever prescribed to me. I take 2 mg twice a day. It calms me during the day and at night I sleep like a baby. There are no side effects when you wake as well."


"I'm currently on alprazolam-1mg a day. I've been diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic disorder, afraid of dying; threw my experience because of my symptoms, which are rapid heart beat, trouble breathing sweaty feet or clammy hands, nausea, trembling, trouble sleeping, going out to do anything became an issue too, socializing and even faint, dizzy, pure fear of death. This has conflicted with my wife, children, jobs and my entire life period. Xanax has given me my life back in full and am currently regaining my life back.  "


"Have taken Multaq 10 months. Still have about 14 missed beats a minute. Some weakness."


"This was the foulest tasting prep I've ever tried. I didn't experience the cough syrup taste; to me it was very bitter. I chilled it & used a straw. Mixed the first dose with apple juice which didn't help at all. I didn't know about the lemon wedges, but chasing each sip with diet Mountain Dew helped a great deal. Not very good results after the first dose but did with the second. Have had queasiness & mild headache & some cramping, but not any worse side effects."


"This is my second mirena I have has in. No pain with getting it inserted and no periods for 10 years. I am now 50 years old and I'm overdue by 12 months to get it removed. Going in October. Is has been the best thing for me and I would recommend it to anyone with terrible bleeding I couldn't cough sneeze without have blood all over the floor. Had to sit on the toilet for hours until the bleeding would slow down.  Best thing ever."


"I've been using Differin for 2 years now, and it has worked well for me. I still get small bumps though and am going to ask my dermatologist for the 0.3% Differin because I am currently on the 0.1%. I think using the stronger cream will clear it all up. "


"Suffered from insomnia for ~5 years before being prescribed Zolpidem 10mg. It took about 15 minutes to work and it put me to sleep very quickly. After ~1 week I built up tolerance and my doctor increased my dose to 20mg before bed. This gave me increased side effects - seeing double, increased drowsiness the morning after. I would also do/say things I had no memory of, and sometimes I wouldn't be able to tell if what I was remembering was a dream or whether it actually happened. Overall, it put me to sleep but the side effects were quite severe. A very good treatment in the short term, but it starts to mess with your sense of reality at higher doses once your tolerance builds up."


"So I've had two shots so far

 My period has been heavy when I get it and I spot all month long. I've experienced depression in the past and it seems like it's gotten worse on the shot. I've actually attempted suicide since I've started the shot.my sex drive is crap and my mood swings are crazy. I don't recommend this shot to anyone"


"Few days on it. Ability didn't work for me. Doctor has me on cogentin and Inderal for akathisia. Taking Trilafon also. Quiting Klonopin slowly, taking Adderall for sleep issues: hypersomnia. Taking Paxil bc it was good in the past(20years ago). Slightly hypomanic which is good for socializing but not for calm mind. Can't keep a calm mind, not hearing voices, but having a discussion with imaginary person in my head. Is this Pyschosis bc I would hate to get off AD(Paxil) which is great for social phobia"
