"I absolutely love this prescription. I use the .5% medication (looking forward to using the new Aczone 7.5% that just came out that I can apply once a day) which I apply to my face twice a day. I also use this along with Retin-A (but the generic version) and it works great! I never used Aczone by itself so I don't know what the results would be for me. I also took Amoxicillin while using these products which sped up the healing process but I stopped taking the Amoxicillin since I am on another medication so it's not necessary. Anyway, I think this product is great and has truly worked for me and I have tried other products that didn't necessarily give me the results I was looking for."


"I started taking this due to my severe Sinusitis, I started noticing more frequent nightmares 4 nights in a row and decided to search this medication's side effects/symptoms as another medication has caused me nightmares. Sure enough there are many reports of nightmares, as well as, the medication having no improvements. I have no relief and will just take OTC cough meds again. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!!!"


"I'm taking this in combination with Zoloft. I take 0.25 mg of Klonopin (half a pill) twice a day. It's a very low dose, but in combination with the Zoloft has been effective at managing my anxiety. I was originally taking 0.5 twice a day but that was making me too drowsy to concentrate on work. Overall this is a great med for anxiety, especially when waiting for an SSRI to start working."


"I have have had mild/persistent acne for about 6 years now (I'm 22) and have tried several treatments. The most effective was doryx which I was on for nearly 6 months, it cleared my skin up completely. However, that clear skin only lasted  few months, and by the end of the treatment my acne was flaring up again. That is when my dermatologist prescribed me accutane. I was assured there would be no new flare ups because my acne was mild. However, I am on day 12 now and I can say my skin was clearer when I started accutane than it is now. On top of that I am experiencing very dry skin and chapped/cracked lips. I am going to stick the full treatment out, but just a warning that more likely than not you will break out before it gets better."


"This medicine is great. I was diagnosed with sinusitis and could not breath at all through my nose. After taking Claritin D what a difference. I could breath again and finally could get a good nights sleep. It does give me dry mouth so I just drink more water."


"I smoked for over 25 years. Doc wrote me a script for Chantix. In less than a week I was sickened by nicotine. I was completely smoke free within two weeks of using it. That was 3 1/2 years ago. I was lucky, no dreams, no loss of sleep, no suicidal thought, nothing but minor nausea about an hour after consuming the daily pill. I didn't even have to use it for more than a month. I don't know if it matters, but I have always responded favorably to any kind of anti-depressant. I wonder if that is why this worked so well for me and not for others? Who knows. I'm just a happy ex-smoker."


"Apri made me sick to my stomach everyday and I had to quit taking it because I kept getting nauseous and wanted to get sick! Have to call the doctor to try and get a new kind!"


"I've only been on it for 7 days at 30 mg. My Dr said to increase to 60 mg after a week.  I feel it's working for my anxiety at this level so I don't think I should go up. Thoughts?"


"I have been dealing with undiagnosed depression and anxiety for the last year or so, and a few weeks ago I was finally diagnosed with both, and I was prescribed 50mg of Zoloft, initially, and then 100mg eventually. While the Zoloft was helping with my depression, it made me unbearably anxious. My dosage was lowered to 75mg and I was prescribed Seroquel as well. The combination of both has been very successful. I feel no sadness or anxiety currently, and I take 12.5mg each of Seroquel in the morning and the evening. I'm a little slow and lethargic, but otherwise have had no side effects, and the lethargy is usually solved by a 30-minute nap. In low doses, I highly recommend this drug."


"I've had the nexplanon implant for just under three months. The beginning had some unpleasant side effects but not much worse than any other hormonal birth control; 9 day moderate to light bleeding but then no period for two months.  Effects that still persist are that my appetite increased noticeably and came with cravings for red meat even though I've been a vegetarian for years. I still get a little crampy each month, and migraines. My breasts are usually tender and have increased an entire cup size. I've put on about 12 pounds; thats after slacking off on my once regular workout routine. I'm back at the gym and the lbs are coming off, but don't let it creep up on you.  You absolutely MUST exercise regularly, or you'll gain weight fast."


"Saved my life when I had a bacterial pneumonia."


"About 13 hours after taking the pill, BOOM. The worst cramps and intestinal pains that I've ever experienced. I sat on the toilet for 20 minutes in total agony trying not to wake anyone up. It felt like a rabid raccoon was trying to claw its way out from my bowels. It hurt so bad that I felt like I was going to throw up. At one point I thought "okay, this is my limit, if it gets any worse, I'm going to the ER"

After several waves of this, it finally ended and now, 24 hours later, I'm still having diarrhea and some cramping, but not as bad as last night.

LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS! This stuff is no joke! I took 2 tablets and I drank so much water. At least 7 or 8 glasses of water. It doesn't matter - you will get awful cramps.

Never again."


"I have had the nexplanon implant for about 3 months now. I thought that it was so far so good, until I literally started bleeding during sexual intercourse! Now you ladies can only imagine how embarrassed I was! Without birth control I have a very harsh period that consists of heavy bleeding, vomiting, nausea, fatigued and sometimes I even faint. So of course I wanted something that was very affective with the least amount of side affects as possible. And of course something that slows my period down or stops it completely. In my case, that's not the case at all! I've been bleeding since about 3 weeks after the insertion. I've been really moody and getting upset at the slightest things! I don't like how it's affecting my moods and behavior."


"I have been taking Citalopram for about 6 months. It has helped me with my depression bit I seem to have a reduced sex drive and am unable to orgasm and get a headache before I orgasm. My lover can't stand this and thinks it is her fault (not good enough). I have no problems getting an erection and keeping one. Just have a problem reaching orgasm. Plus the head pain is bad taking the pleasure away."


"I started taking Celexa almost 3 weeks ago. For the first week I took half a pill (10 mg). Then I went almost two weeks on 20 mg. I felt it working at first, but then my mood swings were coming back and so was the depression. I just had it upped yesterday to 40 mg, along with Ativan 1 mg for panic/anxiety and Trazodone 50 mg for sleep. It was working well for awhile, so I'm assuming I just needed it to be increased. I LOVE the fact it doesn't make you eat more or feel "weird" like most depression medications. I am very happy with this medicine and can't wait to have my life back."


"I am weary of medication so I only took two tylenol before the procedure. It was uncomfortable, with two quick sharper pinches and over. I did get dizzy but was able to stand up, walk and drive home afterwards. I planned on working the next day but had to stay home due to bad cramping....on par with a very bad period. I switched to aleve from tylenol and that made all the difference. The cramping subsided over the next few days ( I went on a long run on day 3) but skinny jeans bothered me a bit. Now a month in I got my first period/spotting episode. More anything else as its lingering longer than usual. Overall getting it so far was way worth it. Mood is great, no headaches, no anxiety and no weight gain and we can't feel it."


"After brain surgery my vocabulary and speech became very bad. A doctor suggested Aricept. I didn't notice any improvement in my speech but my kids did. Apparently it works for different things. Because of the surgery my short term memory is out. Long term memory is still there."


"First medicine in years that has seemed to help depression without causing mania."


"I have been bleeding for 42 days. When I was at 31 days bleeding I went to my doc and he gave me 10mg provera for 10 days, I started the pill on a Thursday and Saturday and Sunday no bleeding so I was super excited! Monday I started bleeding again and have been ever since which is now 42 days. Had bloodwork and ultrasound just to be told all is normal. Anyone else experience this??"


"Been on this birth control over a year now and I gained so much weight. Thinking about changing it up. The periods are normal. It's always 4-5 days regular. I thought I was the only one gaining weight from this birth control."


"Recurring infection and two courses of different medications prior to macro bid.  It started working in 24hrs but did have headache and visual episode, plus dizzy spell over course of five days.  Relief of the infection outweighs side effects."


"I went through menopause from 50-55 and Paxil was a lifesaver.  My gynecologist prescribed it when all of the supplements for menopause symptoms were of no help.  Hot flashes have returned at the age of 60 for some reason, and I'm taking Paxil again.  Working like a charm with no side effects."


"Side effects were not tolerated well."


"i was prescribed dianete for years and my face was beautiful! Bar the odd spot if I had a few too many drinks on a sat night =\ however due to docs weaning women off Dianete because of health issues such as blood clots, strokes they switched me to Yasmin! Worst pill I have ever had! My face looks like a giant Pizza! It's vile, I get up everyday with another spot, angry red ones that lay under the skin so I can't even attempt to get rid of them. I cry all the time, depression is creeping in. I'm crying at TV adverts it's that bad! I will be returning back to the docs to get a new pill."


"Cleared up my stuffy nose within hours. Highly recommend."


"Given a sample of the 8mg dose.  Flow improved dramatically after about 30 mins.  Effect lasts 2-3 days.  There does seem to be a meaningful reduction in ejaculate.  Overall orgasm experience is somewhat less as a result.  So, some tradeoff.  In my case flow had become so poor it is one worth making.  Rapaflo is expensive, so trying tamsulosin as an alternative now.

55 year old male with no other meaningful health issues."


"I'm on my 10th week of the drug, and it usually takes 12-16 week to see the full effects.I apply it at nighttime, and sometimes apply a layer of moisturizer 15-30 minutes afterwards. It dried me out SO much in my first month and a half of use that I had to start skipping nights and use three layers of moisturizer. My skin burned when I would put on my lotion because it was THAT dry. I now use it everyday and still have 2-4 active breakouts at any given time. I also get A LOT of small whiteheads (those may be from shaving my face though) and I extract them myself, which probably isn't a good idea. My skin is definitely better on the medication than off, I just hope the results are better in 2-4 additional weeks of use."


"I was switch from Ocella to Loryna when my doctor prescribed me Yaz. Both are generic forms of the drug. 3 weeks into my pack I became severely depressed and tired. I slept for almost 3 days straight and could barely get out of bed. My skin started to break out all over, including my neck, back, cheeks, jawline, and forehead - and I hardly ever break out."


"I took this pill once at 37.5mg to start my regimen. I got serotonin syndrome and was hospitalized. Steer clear from this medicine."


"I took my first dosage at 6pm, 2 hrs. ago. I breathed through my mouth, so all I tasted was slightly grapey, slightly salty. I drank the 32 oz of water in 15 minutes. No cramps or nausea. I ate very lightly yesterday and just drank liquids today. I take my second dose an hour from now, and don't think I'll have any problems."


"I just started taking TriNessa, So far I have horrible nausea and terrible migraines. I am getting signs of depression and I am restless all night. Its hard for me to eat or ride in a car because of nausea. I am constantly dehydrated all day and I have the worst case of dry mouth. I hope that all of this will go away after a few months so I'll continue to take the pill. The only positive so far is that my acne is going away."


"I've been on Rexulti for a month. It was added in addition to my Zoloft 150mg and Klonopin 1mg regimen after I told my psychiatrist that I felt like I was right on the brink of breaking out of my depression, but couldn't quite get there. I started with the sample pack, which consists of a week of .5mg tablets and a week of 1mg tablets. After about the 4th day, I started feeling better -- more energy, less anxiety. When I upped the dose to 1mg on the second week, I felt even better. At the end of the 2 weeks, I felt 100% myself. The only side effects I've experienced are slight insomnia (waking up in the middle of the night) and increased appetite. But I've got my life back, so it's worth it. I love this drug. It saved my life."


"The amount of pain you experience when taking Dulcolax makes whether or not it works a completely moot point.  I took this as directed and was up in the middle of the night writhing in some of the very worst pain I have ever felt.  The type of pain where you think to yourself, "I am going to need to go to the hospital".  They are small pills, easy to swallow, but don't let the size fool you.  Serious waste of money.  Because of the pain it caused, after only one dose the remainder of the box went in the bin.

If you don't like pain but need to relieve your bowels, I STRONGLY recommend you find a different product."


"this medication almost took my life.  during the 6 years I was on it my cardiologist kept raising the  dose. I had difficulty standing on my feet, developed severe headaches, slurred speech and dark veiled vision. over time my fingers turned dark purple like grape juice. I reached the point where I could not sit up one morning without help. my daughter discovered my back was dark purple as well. the emergency room doctor took me off immediately stating a severe reaction."


"Was prescribed Advair two weeks ago and haven't used Albuterol inhaler since. I notice easier breathing immediately and had absolutely no side affects. I don't even taste it but always rinse anyway. Before using Advair, I was using the inhaler about 10 times a day and still was out of breath when I tied my boots. After two days on Advair, I was able to attend a Packers game and walked about a mile to the stadium and another 60 flights of stairs to get to our seats. I would have been dead the week before. I'm hoping I can continue using this medication without getting any side affects. I have my life back and want to keep it that way."


"I had Skyla placed just over month ago. I read the reviews and was expecting some really bad cramps during and after insertion. The cramping during insertion was minor and after insertion I experienced cramps for a day. These cramps was comparable to a bad period. As for the bleeding some people experienced, I still have yet to bleed or have my period. My doctor told me that this is can happen and I may not experience bleeding while on Skyla. Overall, I am so far pleased that I have had minor if any side effects and would recommend this to people."

"I took the Suprep Bowel Prep at 6:00 p.m. and it started to work at 6:30'ish. It is now 7:06 p.m. and I have had no cramping, nausea, headache or vomiting. When my stomach rumbles, I run to the bathroom. Lots of watery diarrhea. I have been drinking tons of water, about 14- 8 oz cups so far.  My only complaint is the Suprep tastes like ocean water. Very salty. I chewed a piece of cinnamon gum after drinking it."


"The medication worked for a few days. but this problem comes from a long time ago surgery like 30 years ago. Now I have a fallen arch and very bad pain. The medicine works great but I think something else needs to go with this. thanks"


"This has been the best treatment for my constant pain so far and I can function normally. I am allergic to most other narcotic pain medicines."


"I tried 4 different medications for overactive bladder prior to Myrbetriq. All of them included terrible side effects. Myrbetriq is one of the medications for overactive bladder with limited side effects. I was having constipation, inability to urinate, and other symptoms when trying the various older overactive bladder medicines. Myrbetriq was night and day compared to the others, and I highly recommend anyone to give it a try if the other more affordable options are not working. If you can afford the cost until it goes off patent, then I would try Myrbetriq first due to the limited side effects. I currently do not experience any noticeable side effects."

"I have been on the pill before, the patch, and NuvaRing. But I have never had problems like this. I heard that Yaz was supposed to help clear up acne so that's why I chose it. The pharmacy ended up giving me Gianvi because it was the generic of Yaz. I have been on it for 3 months now and I am miserable. This last month it has made my breasts feel sore and I'm not even on my period and I have horrible cramps. It has done nothing for acne either. This is the last pack I am going to take."


"This was a re-occurance of my PMR.  My Family Practice doctor did an ESR which was elevated.  He put me on Prednisone 40mg q d in Nov. He said he'd check my last bone density--if he did he failed to mention it to me.  I FELT BETTER!  --had tons of energy and appetite.  went on to gain 30 lbs. Within a month I developed L knee pain;  then R sciatic pain; then R groin (L3-4) pain; then L sciatic pain and inability to ambulate because of the pain, muscle weakness and gen'l disability .  The Prednisone was gradually decreased/increased per results of the ESRs.  I demanded an MRI, this showed an Insuffuciency Fracture of my Sacrum.  This meant 12  weeks of pain, bed rest, visiting nurses,PT/OT, etc. Now, I'm starting Fosamax"


"My constipation caused a rectal fissure.  The tear would re-open every time I had a bowel movement.  I'd been on various stool softeners and laxatives trying to heal the fissure, but nothing worked until I started on Miralax.  Now the fissure is healed and I am pain free.  So very thankful.  Just wondering why I had to go to a colon specialist before I found out about this product.  Why didn't the other doctor I went to suggest this product?"


"After L3,4,5s1 fusions,have been on 75 fentanyl

every 72 hours,I would prefer every 48 but insurance gives a hard time.this drug let's me live a normal life, I use Norco for break through

am so happy I have this fentanyl

weaned off one time.lasted two weeks my pain Management doctor put me back on,immediate relief!!!"


"I absolutely LOVE this pill. I'm 22 now, but I started it back in May of 2006 and stopped in March of 2007 (due to me not being sexually active anymore). During this time I had absolutely no side effects. I did gain a bit of weight, but I attribute that to me being lazy and starting college without exercising regularly. Flash forward a few years, I decided to start taking it again. I'm on week 3 and like before, I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I'm exercising better than I have before and have been losing weight successfully.

All women have different bodies, so what may work for some may not be effective for others."


"I took Accutane a few years ago to clear up my swamp face (so oily!) and my breakouts weren't bad, but whenever I had one I'd scar so bad...So I did 30mg 2x a day...took about two weeks but the oiliness went away and after about a month or two I was seeing beautiful skin. Stayed clear for years after. Chapstick, and heavy duty lotions and creams are important, and I also had to use eye drops as my eyes got dry. Wonderful, wonderful medicine."


"I've been on Tri sprintec for about 3 or 4 years. It regulated my period and made my cramps disappear. I can pinpoint when I'm getting my period to the day since my second month on it.  I had to skip a month one time but the next month my period went back to the schedule it has been on for years. it cleared up my acne as well, but took a couple months."


"While this medication alleviated the pain in my husband's arm after taking it for about 5 years he was recently rushed into emergency surgery  with a large gastric ulcer. The condition came on without symptoms or warning. His surgeon said Mobic was the cause. If you take this medication do so with Extreme Caution."


"Took for 6 months messed up my heart couldn't control my BP dropped my heart rate very low I played handball which is  a very aggressive sport I could not sweat but it made my lower heart chambers thicken I think I have some heart problem gonna go to doc soon.
No history of family heart disease only had hbp no side effects until I started taking bystolic fainting, hard time breathing, went to ER 4 times -
 he didn't want me to come off. He is an idiot"


"Works in about 15 minutes for me which is about twice as fast as the pill form. Creates a bad taste but well worth it for the faster speed."


"I was on this years ago after having tried SSRIs which really messed me up and then caused nasty withdrawals. It is amazing - it works fast - and no side effects except increased appetite. This time around I need that because I lost so much weight having no appetite. I avoided social situations and drank wine just to calm anxiety or relax. This zonks you out into a great slumber so take a bedtime for sure. I stay at 15mg but dr said in future might raise. It really is awesome. You just feel stable and normal and pleased to do daily activities I used to avoid."


"Over the years, through the overuse of antibiotics, I developed side effects to penicillin, the mycins, and Cipro. However, I am still able to take Lorabid with no side effects and it is successful in treating my sinusitis, when taken for the full course of treatment."


"I've been using this drug for almost eight years and have absolutely no complaints except every year no matter what I do I put on a lot of weight. "


"I have had chronic constipation for most of my life.  I have had to take a laxative on a weekly basis to be able to go once a week. My Doc gave me this at my request and I have to say it has been a lifesaver.  I now am able to go every day.  I have some discomfort in my abdomen that lasts for a couple of hours but it is minimal and certainly nothing like the discomfort of being blocked up. I am so very pleased and hope it continues to work.  I would highly recommend this drug!"


"I have used Fiorinal for over 30 years and like others try to use it sparingly.  My goal is to only use it no more than 10 pills per month - usually less.  It is the only thing that works for my headaches.  I have tried all other over the counter medicine and they do nothing.  I find that if I catch the headache early one pill will do the trick.  However, if I wait too long it may not work.  I have Fioricet for bad headaches but I don't like the side effects of the codeine.  I rarely ever use it.  The only bad thing with Fiorinal is that I can't take it at night because the caffeine will keep me awake.  My pharmacist says that they may discontinue the drug in a few years - I hope not as I need it."


"Amitriptyline has helped my insomnia by a ten fold. I have issues staying asleep due to my fibromyalgia and anxiety. I sleep all night for once.

Unfortunately it has side effects:

- No Appetite

- Impotence

- Daytime Drowsiness

- Constipation"


"Fever, chills, nausea, pounding migraine Friday, took a dose Fri night, Saturday morning and by Saturday night was feeling better. I was skeptical about the drug and scared of vomiting/nausea/diarrhea side effect but glad that decided to try it. To those who get nauseous taking it, take it with a piece of bread and ginger ale. LITERALLY with a piece of plain bread (I had Hawaiian sliced) and ginger ale. DO NOT eat a heavy meal. The RX says "Take it with a meal or a piece of bread". Nope, do not eat a meal, you will get nauseous. I do want to add that those who are more nauseous than others probably have more mucus in their stomach. Just my opinion. I was taking Mucinex at the same time so it helped with being nauseous from mucus greatly."


"I started using Belviq 10/01/15 and I am down 15lbs, from 256. I have lost the cravings for sweets as well as increased my water intake, 90ozs. I am so excited and feel great. Also, I have enrolled in a fitness boot-camp and for the first time, I am not the weakest link."


"To those about to get Skyla implanted, ignore the horror stories. It was virtually painless. You just feel mild pressure and will feel yourself getting cramps immediately, or they are just normal period cramps. Just take ibuprofen before going and you will be fine. I read some of these reviews before having mine done and expected so much worse. Some people must just be very sensitive I guess. Skyla was painless and works great for me!"


"Age 67.  I have used Levitra, Cialis, and Viagra since prostate surgery 17 years ago.  My longest experience is with Levitra.  Usually take it in the morning on an empty stomach.  For a long time I was able to get a good erection with 10mg within about 30 minutes.  Head stuffiness was minimal.  A few weeks ago I had a couple of Levitra failures, meaning that I was unable to get more than a weak erection.  About 3 weeks ago I then switched to 20mg doses, and erection results were really excellent.  Stuffiness did not increase significantly if over the 10mg dose.  However, two days ago, even the 20mg does failed to produce a good erection.  After some manual stimulation I was able to get an erection barely good enough for sex."


"Pack a day smoker for years!  Loved to puff on those cigs.  But realized I needed to quit.  Chantix made cigarettes seem so gross and disgusting.  No real negative side affects.  Weird dreams and I kept hearing this strange clicking in my head?  Anyways...it worked. "


"I take this about three times a week to help me sleep. I have had insomnia for two years.  Even though I work 12-14 hours a day and jog 5 miles 4 times a week, I still could not sleep. Started taking this and it did not do much at first.  But now it really works! I can sleep about 7 hours and only wake once or twice and can go back to sleep pretty quickly usually. I wish I could take it every night but doing this lessens its effect on me.  I save it for 3 nights a week and struggle through the others.  Side effects are constipation, I never 'go' the next day.  Also, pretty bad rebound insomnia, I do not sleep well the night after I have taken it."


"I used to use this for years.  But recently I have been constipated due to my medications.  I bought a bottle and when I used it (according to instructions 2 tbsp for an adult) it made me very ill.  I was nauseated and I was vomiting.  I thought it was just a bad bottle, so I went and bought another one and the same thing happened when I used it.  I don't know if they changed something with the ingredients but this is the first time this stuff made me sick."


"Helpless migraine victim for 20  years. My Dr. Recommended imitrex, so I took it. I took one 100mg, it tasted horrible, I had an upset stomach for almost 4 hours. I did get a heartburn feeling in my chest, hotflash, mood swings but my Migraine disappeared. I will speak to my neurologist regarding my side effects. I would consider using imitrex again in the future."


"I have been on Tegretol for 8 days now, I'm very happy with the results so far. My mood and energy seems to have improved.  I'm taking Tegretol 200mg twice a day along with Prosac and Ambien for my insomnia.  The only side effect so far is a little bit lightheaded, but no biggie.  I have begun a journal/to do list and I'm very happy when I cross off the items I have completed, in addition in my daily journal I'm drafting my daily feelings and my accomplishments.  I would highly recommend this as this is helping me out tremendously.  My memory is not as sharp and this HELPS big time."


"I was started on addaroll in 2002, while in a rehabilitation center for teenagers. I didn't know what ADD was , I knew I couldn't concentrate but never seemed I had a disorder. When I started taking, I realized I could focus easier. I went on to graduate high school. I'm 29 years old now, I'm still prescribed, however the pills dont do much since I've been taking the highest dose for several years every day. Without iim so tired, literally fall asleep sitting up. I've realized how addictive these are, they are becoming harder to fill in certain areas because more n more people are getting prescriptions, I myself was the only person i knew of prescribed in small town indiana, years ago, now my entire home town is on this medicine."


"Increased anxiety and insomnia, did not control my SPS."


"I'm 19 with 2 kids I decided to get the Mirena because I didn't want anymore children. Insertion was just a little pinch and cramping for a whole day. Here I am now 6 months later and very much satisfied. After insertion I had my period for 3 weeks straight. Now I spot every now and then but not very much. I'm happy with my decision to get the Mirena and once the 5 years are up I do want another one!"


"The day before I was supposed to start my period the condom broke. So within about 22 hours or so I took the pill the day if my expected period. I got some mild cramps and some migraines. I got a little snappy too. I went 2 days after I took the pill to take to a test at planparenthood and the pregnancy test came back negative. So I signed up for birthcontrol the implant.
They told me I had to wait For my My period.
So I ended up getting my period 7days late. The first day it was light then got heavy again the second day it was already really light. Enough for a panty liner. Then the third day I was taking a shower and I was getting really bad cramps and then I just started bleeding a whole bunch. Luckily I was in the shower. It worked tho"


"Nexplanon hasn't been the worst. I have no worries about getting pregnant, it's easy and it's comfortable. That's the best part-IT WORKS! But there's pros and cons to everything. I've been on this for 9 months. I get a period every month, usually lasting for 2 weeks and the cramps are bad. I've definitely noticed my skin worsen, I also agree with other reviews about the mood swings. Nothing too crazy, but noticeable. My sex drive is sometimes effected, but no weight gain. I'm going to give it a year to get it together, but I'm looking forward to having it removed."


"I am having a great experience with Nexplanon. I had it inserted the day after my period ended and I have had no period for two months now. My arm was grossly bruised for about 8 days and it was sensitive, but it is fine now. I have experienced no spotting, no bleeding, no pain associated with my cycle and have found my moodiness to have curbed. The only side effect I have is eating too much sugary foods during the week I am supposed to bleed. But I always have. There is no associated weight gain with this drug so I don't understand how women can blame Nexplanon for their weight. Anyway. Works like a charm for me!"


"I was prescribed Lo Loestrin Fe for my debilitating cramps and anemia. I was on another hormone treatment a few years back but stopped taking it due to low finances. On a regular check-up, my doctor suggested trying birth control pills again even though it is not pregnancy prevention I am seeking. I agreed since I am unmarried and do not intend on having children in the next few years.

Now I am on my third month of using Lo Loestrin and I am liking it so far. My cramps have slowly become minimal, my bleeding is no longer insanely heavy, my last period lasted 4 days instead of 7, and best of all I do not feel severely ill due to my anemia."


"Commit really works if you want to stop smoking. The cons are: stinging or burning at first which goes away; heartburn definitely if you use them frequently; gas. The major CON is COMMIT REALLY ARE ADDICTIVE THEMSELVES!  Considering that we are dealing with an addict in the first place....we will use Commit constantly.  I have a lozenger in my mouth constantly. ...even while sleeping! There has to be a better way.  Trying to go down to the 2mg lozenger and use according to the directions. Certainly don't think of cigarettes. Hate them now.  Have been on Commit since 2003. Have bad heartburn and ulcers. Concerned about effect on my red blood cells."


"I have had lumbar and cervical neck surgery. I tried to go without medicine and suffered anxiety/depression and was at times overly ruminating on body symmetry, checking myself for lumps bumps and whatever - I guess after the surgeries and being home, I was now switched on to be ever so vigilant to an anxious degree.

Well anyways I went onto cymbalta and that helped greatly with my chemical imbalance that was causing my depression but I needed a little more to simply be in a relaxed mode. I had tried Lyrica 75mg which was fantastic but the insurance company wanted me to go with gabapentin (Neurontin) 600mg cost savings.

So far gabapentin has been very effective in reducing my pain and my anxious responses. Fantastic!"


"Ever since I was taken ill with mono and strep which occurred at the same time, I have suffered terrible anxiety, OCD with my throat, and some other strange changes.  I had been through Zoloft, Prozac, and Paxil until I was given chlorazepate.  Chlorazepate was the only one that even worked in the slightest.  I told my doctor I could tell it was working but felt that there might be something better,  That's where Klonopin comes in.  It helps control my anxiety and OCD to a manageable level.  Sometimes I'll just break them in half and take 0.5mg in a day, other days sometimes ill need to take 2-3. Basically it has changed my life for the better and I'm glad to have finally found a medicine that works."


"Taking it for both fibromyalgia and major depressive disorder.  Works great for me!!  I no longer have insurance so I get it thru the drug company."


"I have been in pain care since I had my child a year and a half ago due to arthritis, my hips being offset from giving birth, and a spine curvature which I need a breast reduction for. I started out with Vicodin and was going through about 7 pills a day. I was later switched to Oxycontin 15 mg three times daily. It worked for a while but it would make me high and then very tired. I became very tolerant to the medication and was switched to Morphine Sulfate ER and it works wonders! I take one in the morning and one before bed and the one I take in the morning lasts all day and keeps me pain free!"


"Provigil (modafinil), literally changed the entire course of my life! I was prescribed this medicine for off-label use to treat depression & acute chronic fatigue. I also have BiPolar II, and I have had only minor difficulty with increased mania. The only reason I did not give this amazing medicine a 10 Rating is because I have experienced issues with building tolerance - that is - its effectiveness began to subside about 5 months after I began to take it. At that time I was taking 100mgs once a day in the mornings. My Dr. and I decided to increase the dose to 150mgs once a day in the morning and I felt terrific again! It's about 6 months later now, and again the amazingly wonderful effectiveness has decreased a great deal."


"I had intercourse with my hubby if 10 years and we have 3 children already,  2 of which were from a previous relationship and one of our own. We did not want anymore children at this point in our lives. We had sex at 3-4 a.m. , at. 10 a.m I was already at the pharmacy picking up Next Choice and took it in the car with a bottle of water. 4 days later it happend again so again within hours I took the Next Choice.Upon googling wgat happens if you take 2 within a months cycle, it looked like everything was okay.when I took the pills I did not have bleeding at either time,it wasnt till about a week later my boobs got sore and i had back and leg pain and pinching like cramps.I thought a heavy period was coming but it didnt and Im pregnant......."


"I've been on this pill for almost a year now and it's great. I'm 18, this is my first pill, so I have nothing to. Before I started this I had a period maybe every 3-6 months. My doctor said it's because I am so active. Now I get my period every month and have found that my mood has gotten much better. Before I used to be very somber and now I am a lot happier. I still have acne, most likely because I am still a teen. However I do find it strange that my breasts fluctuate in size every month. Usually a week and a half before I get my period they get a lot fuller. I have noticed weight loss, and am quite happy with it. Overall this is a great pill, plus I don't mind the unprotected sex."


"I started taking Beyaz after trying Lo Loestrin Fe, that made me terribly sick. My friend had recommended it to me. I had no side effects and my period is only like 4 or 5 days long. There's no tiredness or mood swings before I get my period either. No spotting, no increase in acne. My sex drive has stayed the same. My mood has been so much lighter. Beyaz is great! I would recommend it to anyone that has had problems with other birth control pills. It's a miracle."


"Had implant fitted 13th December 2014. Had one period in December and then nothing for two months. February I started bleeding again and have been constantly bleeding since (it is now March 2016). It occasionally stops for 3-4 days and when I say occasionally I mean maybe one every 5 months or so... Tried Cerazette at the same time and it didn't stop. Took norethisterone for a week when I went away, three days after stopping I started bleeding again and I have never felt anything like it. I was off work for two days, couldn't stand up with the pain and was bleeding through tampons in less than 2 hours. Along with the constant bleeding, I have terrible mood swings and extremely low libido."


"Won't dissolve, takes forever.  Severe  headaches  after  20 minutes  of taking ."


"Tried this for the first time last night and the results were amazing. I have tried Viagra and have not had the results like I did taking Levitra. I have had issues with not being able to get an erection and when I do it didn't last long enough to satisfy my wife. Long story short our sex life was almost nil. I went to Dr, he told me to try Viagra, it worked first couple of times but it gave me bad case of heartburn so he suggested Levitra and all I can say is wow, my wife said its the best sex we have had in years so think this may be the answer to our problems and having GOOD sex. Hope this helps someone as it sure is good for me. Oh did I mention I am over 60 and have a new outlook on life."


"I've been on Orsythia since January. Ever since I've basically completely lost my sex drive. I'm never in the mood and I have terrible sleep and very irritable. I thought it was just me but reading the reviews and people saying basically the same things I'm having makes sense. The only good thing is that Ive barely had any cramps."


"First few months were fine, after 2 months I experienced mood swings, depression and the worst acne of my life which did not help with my depression at all! "


"I was prescribed birth control about 6 years ago due to complications from ovarian cysts. The very first one I tried was lo-estrin 24 which made me incredibly nauseas. I then tried a couple other ones but they all made me nauseous as well. Finally I was prescribed ocella. I felt pretty good on it. Didn't notice any weight changes. My skin looked AMAZING. I would just get bad migraines/nauseas/sick a day or two before my period and some days randomly during the month.
It wasn't until I STOPPED taking ocella (or any birth control...long story/not sexually active at the moment) about 6 months ago that made me realize how much better I feel off of it.
I feel like a new person. My mood is 10x better. Sex drive is back. Only down side- my skin"


"This medicine is very good for my sinus, I feel very well now."


"First off, this medication made me lactate and not be able to lose weight, which was disturbing and frustrating. However, it really helped me sleep. It definitely mellowed me out and made me less anxious and irritable. I stopped it because I started to lose interest in life, but it may have been because 3 mg was too much for me; I believe this is a good medicine for psychosis and mood disorders."


"I had taken Effexor XR for a year or so and wanted to see if there might be something else out there that may work better.  My doctor suggested Remeron.  Unfortunately I had a severe reaction on 2 separate occasions (6 months apart) after my first dose.  I had trouble falling asleep then could not get out of bed the whole day.  I also had very severe mood swings, to the extent of screaming at my small children when they asked a question too many times.  I had  terrible rage.  "


"12-14 days after taking Plan B still no period at my normal time so I was kind of getting worried. I used some hot compresses, I had a few soaks in the tub and my period came raging 2 days later than expected. My stomach had never been so "full" before a period ever. After this experience I am glad everything worked out with getting my period. "


"I have been on the patch for about 4-5 years because I have anemia and used to have very heavy periods. I chose it because it is much more convenient to have than having to remember to take a pill everyday at the same time. With Ortho Evra I probably gained a few pounds but that comes with every birth control. As far as side effects: no depression, few mood swings, and a high sex drive. My periods used to go 7 days now they are more 5 days and the bleeding has decreased a lot. The one thing that I don't like about the patch residue it leaves when you take it off. Like you have to scrub to get the sticky stuff off your skin and even then some is still left over. But all in all I love the patch."


"I've been using Nuvaring since 2007 and have been very happy with it. I've had no instances of it slipping out, and I can't feel it at all. I never really thought I was very acne prone when I started it. However, I had to go off of it due to insurance issues for 3 months and my acne EXPLODED like it never has before in my life. My hair was also super greasy at the same time. Once I got back on the ring, the acne and greasiness went away.
During the same time when I had the ring out, my sex drive was back in full force. I didn't really notice it was missing it before hand though! Light periods, no periods if you want. Weight gain? Not sure, I'm fat anyhow and am always kind of gaining!"


"currently on my second attempt of champix. And having a totally different experience. First time was about six years ago...possibly more! First time nausea was brutal but I persisted to the book. Day 9 I started to smoke a cig and I was nearly sick it was so vile. I took the tablets for another five days and stopped. I didn't smoke for two years. Then I started night duty and my co worker smoked about 40 in a shift and thats were is all went wrong again. Second time on tablets its day 13 and I have reduced but can't seem to kick it totally, stomach is grand. Missed a few doses unfortunately as I'm on nights. Disappointed and can't understand how its not the same as first. Probably cause my sleep/wake hours are a mess. But hopefully I get there."


"I have been on this medicine since 1998 and as long I as I replace it on time, there are no issues. Even at 53 if it is not replaced on time, I start getting agitated and hot flashes start in. I always joke that it is not for my benefit that I take this, but it is for the benefit of those that are around me that I do. My only gripe is the outrageous expense."


"Yesterday- 5th course Rituximab Infusions.2016

Last 18months ago,  I thought I was in remission. Despite a complete removal of processed foods and a very healthy diet and exercise 'plan' (self motivated) I had a big flare up.

I have refused Methotrexate for 2.5yrs having tried for 3yrs. I'm happier +healthier.

The 1st ever infusion was stopped due to  allergic reaction in throat, mouth + rash face+chest.  But, Piriton was given +infusion continued. Piriton is now given to everyone now(UK chester),  before infusion +advise to take to combat further reactions rash,  sore throat etc for 3 days after.  This works.

I feel washed out,headache3-6days.steroid shakes, lack of sleep, flushes but no ill effects between courses 7months apart."


"Commit really works if you want to stop smoking. The cons are: stinging or burning at first which goes away; heartburn definitely if you use them frequently; gas. The major CON is COMMIT REALLY ARE ADDICTIVE THEMSELVES!  Considering that we are dealing with an addict in the first place....we will use Commit constantly.  I have a lozenger in my mouth constantly. ...even while sleeping! There has to be a better way.  Trying to go down to the 2mg lozenger and use according to the directions. Certainly don't think of cigarettes. Hate them now.  Have been on Commit since 2003. Have bad heartburn and ulcers. Concerned about effect on my red blood cells."


"Just recently have got Depo subQ provera for the first time--(at the same time my best friend has gotten the regular Depo-Provera shot)--I haven't had any side effects: no mood swings, no weight gaining, nothing. While she's had some mood swings going on. I don't know if it's because it's a different Depo or just because I'm a different person, but I'd recommend this to people. Plus it's a much smaller needle that goes in your stomach instead of your arm."


"I experience cold sores 3-4 times a year. I'd run out of my prescription acyclovir which works the best for me. Walgreens only had the pump dispensed available. The product worked fairly well, but the pump dispenses 3-4 times the amount needed. It's very expensive, so too much uncontrolled wasted product!!"


"Didn't work for me (4weeks) and made me tired"


"I started Victoza 2 weeks ago with the 0.6 dose for four days and then increased to 1.2. On about day 10 I had a rough day of feeling sick to my stomach. Stayed home from work and slept it off.  Since then I have some feelings of mild stomach sickness, but I find if I just get busy I forget.  I have lost about 5 lbs but most importantly my blood sugars are down in the 110 to 120 range with morning spikes at 150. Far better than the 190  I was running all the time.  There are times when I feel full and eat less, not always, but this is giving me a real opportunity to re-evaluate my portions at meal time.  I hope the medicine continues to work and if I can lose about 40 lbs, keep it off, manage my food, I must just be able to control type 2!"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I was diagnosed in April 2015. My VL was over a million and CD4 was down to 180. I seroconverted for 4 weeks. By the bad luck of timing every time I got to feeling worse I went to urgent care on the weekend. Saw intern after intern with no results and none of them asking the right questions. Finally saw my PCD and ran the viral load test. My dr started me on Stribild the same day. My VL went from over a million down to 700 in the first month and down to 200 two months after that. My CD4 rebounded right away and has remained over 800. 6 months into taking Stribild daily and I'm undetectable. I will say the side affects for the first two weeks were pretty tough. I was nauseous constantly, the awful heart burn. 2 weeks later,  all is well!"


"After changing my pill after being on the same one for 10 years, I broke out in terrible acne. I had never had bad skin when I was growing up, and I have become so self conscious.
I have only been using Adapalene for two weeks. After reading so many reviews, I was prepared to go through a really bad phase before any improvement.
In this first days, I broke out worse than ever in my life, but it felt like Adapalene was pushing dirt out of my pores that had been stuck in there forever.
Right now my chin and and jaw line are very sore and flaky, I have been moisturising as much as possible, but even this is irritating the skin. I am pushing through because I really think I am starting to see a change already!"


"Taking for high blood pressure. Now I know why my migraines have gone away almost completely. Also the best blood pressure medicine I have found for me. No side effects for me."


"Sadly, this medicine was at one time my worst enemy. I couldn't sit still on it, I kept pacing and twitching, half screaming half crying, agitated, itchy and angry. I couldn't sleep for more than 4 hours a night and I was only on 2.5 mg of it. I don't remember if I ate or not on it, but probably not because I was in a type of hell. I know it's a good medicine for a lot of people, but for me, it turned my life upside down."


"I recently switched from Microgestin 1/20 to the 1.5/30 (gynecologist suggestion). I noticed even less cramping, a less heavy period, HOWEVER, I did get a few cystic nodular pimples around my mouth. I am not sure if it's because of the increase in hormones or something else, however I will wait for a few more months (I've been on this new birth control for about 2 months) to see if it goes away/gets better. I may switch back to the 1/20 if the acne doesn't get better. I also noticed a few pounds of weight gain."


"I used this product and my vagina was on fire like nothing I'd ever felt before... two baths later I am just now relaxed. I will never use this product again - and to the people who felt tolerable burning, clearly you did not have the same experience as me. This product should be banned."


"I've been taking Prevacid for over 10 years, 1 in the morning, that's it. I've had acid reflux since I was 13 years old, used to keep bottles of tums in my car, my night stand, my pocket. I suffered for years. Not anymore. I'm 53, I eat drink whatever I want, hardly ever get indigestion anymore. Sure works for me."


"Love Welchol...... Thanks to my family doctor I can feel normal again"


"Had this with versed for my upper/lower endoscopy today. It was wonderful! I wasn't drowsy today and I have no adverse reaction. The only thing that I didn't like was that the versed burned when they started it. I wouldn't do another endoscopy without the propofol again."


"I took plan B an hour after loosing my virginity and having unprotected sex,it been about a day and I'm mostly just experiencing cramping and nausea, I had just gotten off my period and I'm just praying that I'm not pregnant."


"Diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years ago but am highly functioning with Ultram (tramadol) and Flexeril. Added 25mg of Seroquel for insomnia and I can finally sleep through the night! Because I am so groggy in the morning, I cut them in half on work nights and enjoy the whole dose on Friday and Saturday nights. No side effects after a few weeks (other than the grogginess). I am hopeful it will also help with my depression from dealing with chronic pain."


"I have had depression for most of my life and had been taking Zoloft for about 7 years after I had my first child, recently felt it wasn't working as well anymore so I talked to my doctor and they suggested this.Took it for 6 weeks but had to stop. I know everyone is different, but for me it made my depression worse, I started having mood swings, anger issues, crying over everything, panic attacks, around the 2nd week I developed a cough, No other symptoms. When the cough persisted for about 2 1/2 weeks I went back to doc and they prescribed me antibiotics. Completed those, still had cough, then I had panic attacks 2 days in a row so I stopped taking the trintellix, as soon as I did, the cough was gone. definitely don't recommend this med"


"My first day was awful and the next two days weren't any better,but by day four the upset stomach had stopped. By my second week I noticed that I was not able to finish my food, even if I wanted because it looked so good,I just didn't feel like eating it anymore. As I continued to take the the medicine I figured out that I can't eat like I use to and I never felt better, so far I have listed 3lbs over  2 weeks. I enjoy this medicine because its helping me be the person that I know that I could be."


"This drug is awful! Gives me bloating and not a very good laxative. I took 1 pill unlike the other reviews, I didn't get terrible diarrhea. But it woke me in the night every time I took it (maybe I took it 4 times) with terrible pain like my stomach was burning and ON FIRE. So sick sick sick and not sure whether I would throw up or what was going to happen. Sweating, shaking... the stabbing pain in my belly was so bad.  Anyways I am going to throw the rest of the package out to avoid taking it again.
One time I was so super constipated I took 3 pills and less than an hour later I got gas and diarrhea, but no abdominal pain. Then I kept waking up in the night and rushing to the bathroom I almost pooped the bed!"


"Enbrel seems to work for Still's disease. I'm also on 15mg of prednisone daily."


"This is amazing medication.  It works!  It will take around 4-6 weeks (for me it was 4.5 weeks) and then you will notice the pain is greatly reduced.  I've read some reviews here that say they are pain free.  I didn't believe it when I first started this medicine but I sure do now!
I take Tramadol with the Gabapentin.  I purposely didn't state the doses because everyone is different, so its not important.  I tend to be somewhere about average.
Yes, there are side effects, this is a powerful medicine, so it's to be expected. Not much else I can say except it has changed my life. I literally felt like someone gave me a new lease on life!"


"How bad is your Acne?
How bad do you want it gone?
These are just a couple of questions that you need to answer before taking this drug. If your acne is bearable and you feel you can control it with over the counter medicines than do so. I had moderate acne since I was in 8th grade and I had tried everything out there. Accutane worked miracles. I have confidence... you just start waking up without breakouts. The side effects are bad (severe chapped lips, chapped face, I was tired all the time, acne got worse). I would do it again if I could. 6 months of hell for a lifetime of great skin. When I visited home after 4 months on the Accutane EVERYONE commented on my skin. PLEASE take this if you want to get ride of acne.

"


"I have suffered  from  depression for over 25 years. I've taken more medicines than I can count, none of which have worked very long. I have been on Pristiq for over a year and it is working well. There are side effects, but they are tolerable and most go away with time."


"I have had nausea for years and nothing worked so my doctor gave me Reglan.  At first it worked and I was so happy then the side effects blasted in!  I have never been sicker in my life.  I was unable to get out of bed.  I lost my mind for a long time.  I even named the sides of my bed.  Right side was chocolate and left was vanilla!.  I could not get comfortable.  I lost around 100 lbs because I couldn't eat.  My kids thought I had gone crazy.  THEN the worst side effect, Tardis Dykinesia set in.  It is an untreatable disease that caused crazy facial ticks and body movements.  This disease NEVER goes away.  I have been bed bound for 8 years because of this drug!  DON'T TAKE IT!!! It has a black label that warns of the horrible side effect"


"Like the other comments explained: the drug does not eliminate the nerves, but it enables you to function normally. Definitely the number one choice for anyone suffering from fear of public speaking."


"I got diagnosed in Nov of 2014 that I was HIV positive & my viral load was over 500,000 & c 6.  I was started on Stribild in March of 2015 & when I went back a month later my blood work showed that my viral load was undetected & c 72.  I had only minimal side effects for the first couple of weeks (mild headaches & tingling in fingers/feet) which went away shortly thereafter.   I just went in for my checkup & my blood work showed my viral load is less than 20 & c 79.  My doctor said this is normal especially if you're under stress but it will improve.  I go back to see her in 3 months & will post the results later.  I recommend Stribild to anyone that is apprehensive of taking drugs (as I was)."


"I suffer from lower back pain. I had a back fusion in November 2013 about 6 months ago I started having really bad back spasms around the area they did the fusion which was my L-5/S-1.  They had me on Flexeril but did not help they tried the Valium and it works. I do not take it every day only when I have the spasms between that and the Percocet it is the only thing that works.  But I only take them as needed."


"I'm in my thirties. I thought I'd give a new medicine a chance so I took this new Belsomra. I had the 10mg free trial from my doctor. Whoa... WEIRD STUFF. It did not help me fall asleep at all. I was spaced out and couldn't sleep. Then when I finally did fall asleep, I had a hard time getting up in the morning... about 12 hours after I took the Belsomra. My husband woke me up to get our kids ready for school and I couldn't think, I couldn't trust myself to drive our kids to school. The drugged out feeling lingered around all day. Completely shot my day. As a side note: I have been taking Ambien for about 6 years... never ever had this kind of experience with Ambien. No thank you!"


"I am 25 and got my Minera a little over a month ago.  I have a very high pain tolerance, but I won't lie to insertion hurt a lot, but I also haven't had children.  I spotted bad for two weeks, and then that stopped, now I just get random cramps sometimes, but nothing compared to the disabling cramps I got while on the pill.  My random back pain has also almost completely gone away.  I feel like I have come out of a brain fog and can think better.  I am no longer crying at everything and feel much more myself--even my husband has mentioned I seem more myself.  I also have much more of a libido now--my husband loves it.  We aren't ready for kids yet, so not having to remember to take a pill every days has really helped me not stress over sex."


"It did do okay for my seizures but I ended up with so many of the side effects it was unbelievable. They had to take me off I still have seizures to this day because they haven't found the right medicines. I have had a VNS inplant though but still having seizures."


"It was awesome while it lasted but it eventually caused pressure in my spinal fluid and gave me
very severe headaches. I had to go off of Humira. I developed severe Crohn's symptoms and had to have a permanent ostomy. I will soon get a proctectomy also."


"I tried Cymbalta unsuccessfully (intolerable side effects) before one of my doctors had me try Pristiq. Side effects are not too bad. This may be helping with my Fibromyalgia pains."


"I have fairly severe Ulcerative Colitis & after 4 months of feeling horrible, tired, bloody diarrhea with the constant urge to go & fear of eating & setting it off again I was finally diagnosed & put on Lialda - 4 pills once a day. At first it caused horrible gas & bloating & took about a week or so to help the symptoms at all but after a few weeks the symptoms were completely gone & the side effects went away as my body got used to the medication. Then about 1 month into taking it I developed horrible cystic acne all over my face, neck, chest, even in my nostrils & ears! My Dr cut the dose in half to 2 pills once a day & within a few days my skin started to clear & heal. I have been on the lower dose for about a month with NO PROBLEMS!!"


"I started Adipex on January 15, 2013. I am 24 years old  5'5 and my weight during that time was 259lbs sadly. Today it is April 23, 2013 and I have lost 38lbs! I have tried many other diet pills but never had any luck. I have tried to exercise and watch calories without the help of diet pills but it just wasn't working for me. Yes, there were side effects high blood pressure/high heart rate (WATCH FOR IRREGULAR HEART BEAT), If so call the doctor that gave medicine. As long as I drank a lot of water the side effects decreased and was tolerable. I would recommend this to anyone who has a hard time sticking to diet and exercise. This pill has worked great for me. Drink only water, get rid of sugar. Walk at least on mile a day."


"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've been on nexplanon for almost 11 months now and it's been a rollercoaster. The first 6 months were very different from my normal periods. I would have constant prolonged periods, up to 2-3 weeks. that was the "norm" it would stop then I would randomly spot and it was a mess it was so irregular. I recently skipped my period for a month, then boom, I've been nonstop bleeding for 3 weeks and it's just getting heavier and heavier. It definitely keeps you protected I've only had unprotected sex and no pregnancy (the only reason why I've kept it in bc it's so effective) but I'm sadly throwing in the rag, I can't live like this anymore"


"I get very frequent migraines, up to 15  per month. Have tried just about everything, including narcotics to control migraines. I am currently on Inderall daily as preventative (have tried many, many, other drugs as well). Am currently taking Maxalt and Treximet, but doctor suggested we try the nasal spray. I had a full blown migraine when I tried it, so results may be a little off. Migranal caused burning in the nose, and throat, nasal congestion. It also left a nasty taste in my mouth. Woke up the next day with the migraine still lingering."


"My experience with Mirena was terrible. This is by far the worst birth control I have ever tried. Granted it did what it was supposed to do by preventing pregnancy, this came at great expense. I have moderate acne and this made my face even worse. My periods were painful and never really stopped. I had spot bleeding for over 2 months and the worst part was the abnormal smell and discharge. Talk about a mood killer. I also noticed a serious increase in hair loss. Everyone is different and will obviously react differently but I can safely say this birth control is the worst I have ever experienced. I had it removed after 4 months and am now on a birth control pill."


"I was on Seasonique for a year or two and then a generic was made available and I switched to Camrese. I've  been on Camrese for at least 5-6 years and it is truly awesome for me. But here's my advice to everyone: Spotting. I spotted occasionally on Camrese/Seasonique and yes, it's normal. But what my doctor told me and I have shared with friends experiencing the same is to stop your pill for 4 days. Allow the spotting to happen just as if it was a period, and then resume your pill. Be smart: use backup birth control those days. I found not always taking at the same time, within 2 hours, to be the cause of the spotting. I've taken roughly 5 different pills over the past 10 years and Camrese worked best for me. But everyone is different!!"

"I've been on Victoza going on 3 weeks now. I have to make my self eat. The only thing is I don't want to dehydrate so make sure you drink when you are on it. But overall I love it and have lost about 8 lbs..But I feel weak."


"I have a degenerative condition resulting in all the cartilage in my joints and spine deteriorating. I now have 6 completely collapsed vertebrae with severe spinal stenosis.  I have had one hip replacement and am trying to hold off as long as possible for other hip, both knees, and shoulder although stem cell therapy has held some promise. I went for 10 years to physical therapy, water treatment, injections into my spine, as well as alternative treatments if acupuncture, chiropractic etc.. with only limited effect. I missed out on activities with my child, lost my job due, and generally was in a constant 8/10 pain daily. After agreeing to pain medication I was able to return to work and have lead a productive life."


"I've just completed my first pack and for me so far so good.  There's always so may negatives that I thought I'd do a positive... I was on the Mirena for 9 months - the worst (for me). I essentially bled/spotted for those 9 months, gained weight & had severe back acne, I'm surprised I held out that long. Had Mirena removed, along w/ a polyp and b/c of high BP, I'm on lolo.  No nausea, headaches, bloating, mood swings at all. Only "issue" is some minor spotting for about 9 days.  I'm pretty sure this is b/c I didn't know when my actual cycle was with Mirena so I just started lolo the day after my polyp removal.  I'm guessing my body is just trying to figure itself out.  I'm hopeful the spotting will stop and I'll be back to "normal" soon!"

"Lescol lowered my LDL cholesterol from 270 to 101, but my HDL remains at only 36. I am a 63 year old male . My doctor recently prescribed Simcor, a combination of Zocor and Niacin 500/20 , to try and raise the HDL. During tests over the last 8 years on Lescol my HDL has been anywhere from the present 36 to 40. My liver enzymes have been slightly high, but evidently not enough to concern my doctor. I have no muscle pain or weakness, but am also on blood pressure medicines, which make me feel tired and lethargic. Since I have depleted the types of BP medicines, I assume I will just have to live with it. Exercise helps this tiredness, but a bad back and nerves in my lower back and hip prevent much exercise."


"Solodyn really worked great for me. My skin cleared up extremely fast and has stayed clear. I might get a slight pimple here and there but it usually goes away in about 2 days and is hardly even noticeable. I haven't experienced any side effects whatsoever. Solodyn is the first antibiotic I have ever taken for my acne so maybe that is why it has worked so well. I would definitely recommend Solodyn for anyone who has never taken oral antibiotics for their acne before."


"I've been on Zoloft (generic) for a few weeks now. I'm on a low dose (25mg) to get me started. I haven't noticed much of a lift in my mood, in fact I tend to get sad more easily, but I have fewer headaches, which used to be a big problem for me. Also I've noticed it makes me really tired so I take it at night to help me sleep."


"Been on about 6 weeks, do not have cravings like used to but NO SEX DRIVE AT ALL. Only down about 6 lbs overall without diet or exercise, but definitely side effects override benefits.  Headaches, no sex drive and now numbness and tingling in fingers and toes."


"I have had Doxycycline 100mg for 7 days in two occasions, first for a gynecological infection and recently for sinusitis. In both cases, the drug had a very slow unset of action. The symptoms mostly disappeared on day 5 but the short treatment couldn't clear the infection. In the first occasion, I couldn't get it continued and got a bad recurring infection. This time I try a prolonged treatment.

I believe the reason is that doxycycline is a bacteriostatic agent and merely prevents bacteria from reproducing. The immune system itself should kill the bacteria. So, if your immune system is somehow weak it can't do the work in time.

Anyway, doxycycline had a positive effect, even if it was prescribed empirically."


"Recently started taking this pill and it has been working great so far. I have tried many other pills and have had horrible side effects but with Gildess 1/20 so far so good. I have had very mild side effects ( light nausea and sore breasts) which only lasted two days. I would definitely reccomend this pill to anyone looking for a birth control pill with little to no side effects!"


"Reglan, given in a small dose in her IV takes my 16 year old daughter's migraine away. She is a chronic sufferer and has been for many years. She has been hospitalized for migraines. In an hour she is back to normal but sleepy from Reoglan, Toridol and another anti-nausea med. I'm going to see if she can take Reglan at home in pill form to save a trip to the ER."


"Once I decided I was going to stop smoking (after about 28 yrs of smoking more than a pack a day I started Chantix in May 2013 and I haven't smoked again since.  Luckily I didn't have any side effects.  I did gain 20 lbs since then but I do feel better.  I don't have to worry about long flights anymore etc.  I didn't even finish the second phase of the medication.  It's definitely worth trying.  If I can quit anyone can!"


"I have only been taking Depakote ER 500 mg for 10 days now, or maybe I should say nights. I take it at bed time, & was supposed to start taking it twice a day after a week but the upset stomach, the shakes, (or extra nervousness),  no sign of relief of my migraines, & I haven't been able to sleep at night either.. I'm going to tell my Dr. that I just can't take it any more."


"It works for pain."


"I had unprotected sex a day after my period tracking calendar said I ovulated. My partner used the pull out method and said he did not ejaculate in me but I am a very worrisome person. I took the plan b one step almost 48 hours after. I weigh 206 pounds and am 5'6, if this helps. Well a week after I was having dizzy spells, some nausea, hot flashes, constipation, sore boobs and was very tired. I ended up getting my period a day before I expected it so I would say that the pill worked for me in this instant. Don't freak out and do not spend your money on pregnancy tests before you are actually late for it. Stress can cause your period to be late so just relax and don't think every little thing means your pregnant because it will kill you."


"After years of suffering with PMDD I persuaded my Gp to let me try Yasmin as a last ditch attempt at trying to have a normal life on birth control but to help the severity of my periods. I agree with some of the comments on here about mood swings but I also think that is to do with my own level of hormones and that if you stick with it after a while this pill does work!! I have found my happy medium which is 10mg of Citalopram (AD) and this pill combined.... I feel happy and myself all the time and although maybe a tiny bit irritable prior to my period ... generally a lot happier!! Go Yasmin! :)"


"I started on 30mg Cymbalta 3 weeks ago, mainly for Fibromyalgia and anxiety. Initially, I experienced extreme nausea, apathy, sleepiness and brain fog. I read reviews which said, stick with it, so I did! My first night of taking it, my head was buzzing, I was awake all through. So I decided to take it in the morning, but I slept most of the day. No good!

I reverted back to taking it at 7.30 in the evening, with food. Over the last 3 weeks, I stopped noticing any side effects and I slept like a log! Fabulous!

My pain is now less, I feel really motivated and my brain is now as it was years ago! I actually feel that I have more wisdom and intelligence!

I am more outgoing and sociable and life is worth living! Give it a chance!!"


"What started out as a simple back strain/sprain at 19 yrs old has, over the years, evolved into an all encompassing condition leaving me with Multiple Sclerosis, handicapped and needing a walker for any mobility. Through the years I have been on NSAIDs which have proven time and again to be so helpful in relieving pain to where I was taking 3200 mg of ibuprofen/day. Finally given Relafen, which has saved my stomach from all the pain medicines and ibuprofen. Have never had a problem with Relafen (nabumetone) over the 7 yrs I've been on them, and they continue to be instrumental in relief from daily pains due to MS. A great product!"


"I have a bipolar disorder with anxiety and have been taking Seroquel for the bipolar condition for more than 5 years.  I decided to try the Buspar to help with the anxiety using 2 X 10mg per day and it works wonders.  At first the side effects made me cry for nothing but after 1 week everything got resolved and I see the benefits.  No real side effects for me since I use Seroquel which is much stronger on the side effects.  What I see is that I can have dreams again which didn't happen for for the last 20 years and a lot less anxiety.  Less closing of the hands reflects, calm, no social phobia, or performance anxiety.  It is working very well for me and now I need to do more with my life since I have the capacity.  Thanks"


"Took 200mg four x/day for 7 days. Cellulitis was still very pink and ozing. Now trying doxycyline for 10 days."


"For 25 years I suffered with migraines with aura, numbness in my hands, face, + nausea etc. I tried everything the doctors suggested, & avoided triggers. I haven't eaten chocolate in 32 years, never eat bananas, & I've never had red wine. In 1997, a neurologist prescribed 100mg of Pamalor, and 500mg of Naproxen 2x a day. It completely changed my life. I now stay away from the obvious triggers, & take 50mg a night(75 during my periods) & 250mg naproxen. I get migraines about 5x a year now, & use Imitrex then). I've taken it for 18 years & would like to ween off of it. I don't like the heart concerns associated with it, constipation, nor the weight gain. I exercise daily, maintain a 1200 cal diet, & still gain weight.. 50 lbs in 18 years."


"Reduced acne significantly and skin is now clear after 3 months of use"


"Was fine the first two weeks but was very moody. My boyfriend and I got into some unecessary tifs and he said I was moody. Then week three I have been nausiated every day 24 hours a day and have had insomnia for a week. Also some light spotting and cramping.  I threw up once but I think it is because I did not have enough in my stomach.  Will keep moving forward but gosh I hope this gets better! My mood is better but still stick to my stomach. Atleast I am losing weight versus gaining. I was also given this as a replacment to ortho tri cylen lo."


"I'm back to report my findings. After a month on Stribild, my physician just called. I have less than 20 copies per ML of blood, which means I'm clinically undetectable. This medicine has very few side effects, if any, is easy on my body and is effective at knocking down the viral load in a very short period of time. Now instead of worrying about an AIDS related illness, I can plan for the future. Get tested, get treated and stay healthy."


"My experience with Valsartan was terrible muscle stiffness, joint pain, chronic cough, vision changes, painful stiffness in my neck and shoulder I felt terrible every day.  I will never take this medicine nor recomended to anyone. I went back to Diovan is more expense but it works."


"Lexapro is amazing!  I started out on 10 mg because of my anxiety.  It worked great.  I was bumped up to 20 mg and I feel FANTASTIC.  I have never been so happy.  I am no longer irritable and I feel hope in my life.  The only bad side effect is the sleepiness. By about 3 in the afternoon I am ready to fall asleep.  I also have to make sure I eat before I take it or else my stomach gets upset.  Not bad costs for the price of being HAPPY."


"Used duac years ago when I was a teenager with severe acne and now with mild acne as a 26 year old. Worked brilliantly both times. Skin started breaking out after my contraceptive implant was installed. Duac 5% was not available but 3% worked fine. I used along with bio oil and tea tree face wash. Did not experience any drying or flaking. Very pleased, I think it also levelled out my complexion by lightening the dark scars but that may be the bio-oil"


"I would always be in class with wet armpits.  I would be doing nothing but sitting and my shirt and armpits would be soaked.  I never understood why.  When I first got Hypercare, it worked great!  I didn't need to reapply because it was working.  Now my sweat is starting to come back and after re applying, it no longer works.  I do not know why but I really wish it would work again."


"Last night I panicked from side effects from this antibiotic I'm taking for a UTI! The first couple days I felt a tingling/electric feeling & muscle twitches all over my body, was restless, and woke a few times during the night.  Tonight was my 3rd dose & the electric pins and needles/skin crawling feeling was intense and affected my ENTIRE body (I could feel it in my ear lobes and my eyes!), muscle spasms & twitches, uncontrollable shaking, hard to get a deep breath, hard to swallow, hard to talk, my tongue felt fat, jaw clenching, stuttering, dry mouth, stiff calf muscles, the arches of my feet were twitching, my rib muscles were cramping, paranoia, hearing things, difficulty thinking.  Hope no permanent damage!  I'm a fit 29-year-old."


"I've noticed miconazole has directions that list side effects and it lists itching and intense burning. These side effects are products of healing. I inserted it last night (9 oclock), the yeast infection making me swollen down there it was a tad painful. I strongly recommend taking this product at night as it melts and leaks. Also wear a panty liner or pad. About an hour after I took it I had some itching but it wasn't anything worse than the yeast infection caused me to experience. I slept peacefully through the night after I applied the anti itch medication that it came with. DO NOT use scented soap or any soap while using this product it will cause itching. Yes this product causes MILD burning sensations that last about an hour."

"I've been on Beyaz for about a month and a half after getting off of the Depo shot. I do notice breast tenderness sometimes but it seems to be clearing up my face and I am actually less emotional than usual. The one thing that I have noticed that isn't listed as a side effect of this birth control but can occur with other types is night sweats. I've never had this in my life until a week after I went on Beyaz. All I can figure is that it was too rare of a side effect in the studies that it didn't make it into the side effects list."


"This medication caused me severe nausea and vomiting."


"I am 61.5 inches and I weighed 179 at the first Dr. apt.  for 41 years old that is not a good place to be but with the medication I am hoping to drop 30 - 40 pounds...  First day I had absolutely no appetite, was awake longer than normal but I did finally sleep.  Day 2 I still had no appetite but I did force myself to eat little bit easier of a time sleeping still up later than I wished  but once I fell asleep I was out.  Today is day 3 and I weighed myself and I am down 173lbs, 6 pounds in 3 days I am Ecstatic!  I have been exercising by doing Zumba and lifting weights it is amazing to me how much energy I have. I can do an hour of Zumba. I sweat like crazy so you need to remember to drink  a lot of water.  Hope to meet my goal in no time."


"'I had sex on 1/16 the condom slipped off and we didnt notice till we where done. According to my period tracker I was fertile the day I had sex my ovulation day was the 20. I was totally freaking out. The next day I went to buy Plan B($54) I took the pill at 5:40pm 18 hours after the accident. The next week I had swollen breast, cramps and I was eating a lot I was scared that I might be pregnant. I took a pregnancy test and it show negative. . I was stressing out for two weeks. Till finally Feb 1 I got my period right on time. I have never been so happy to get my period. Plan B worked for me. I Hope It works for you too. Good Luck"


"I was prescribed Tylenol with codeine for when my gallstones act up. Well it does nothing for me. This last episode of pain woke me up out of my sleep, took my Tylenol with codeine and 30 minutes later, no relief. To top it off, because I had no relief from the pain I ended up puking.....ugh! I'm better off with the ibruprofen 600mg I have from the birth of my son."


"Since I've been using Levermir, I found it to be very rewarding to my cause."


"Hi people, I've been following these comments for a couple months, they helped me so much. I had to write in about my experience with Zoloft 50mg for panic and anxiety.
First, you have to stick with it for ***8 weeks*** minimum. I had terrible side effects for 4 weeks, increased panic and anxiety and insomnia. I also lost 10 lbs, felt like my metabolism increased. At just about 4 weeks, side effects-gone. At 8 weeks I feel so relaxed and panic-free. It is AMAZING, wow. So this is what you are supposed to feel like! If you have a stressful job like me, I don't have time for anxiety and panic. I am also doing talk therapy and meditation. I sleep great..I do use medicinal herb for sleep every night. I am completely off of benzos!"


"23 yrs old and I've never had a YI before, started getting symptoms of one 2 days before I had my wisdom teeth pulled (yesterday) and I guess the anitobiotics made it worse.. it's currently 3:30 am (1 hour after application) the original itching was so bad I went out at 2 am, came home and inserted the cream and instantly I thought I was allergic because of the BURNINGGGGG.  The burning subsided SOME after about 30 mins and now it feels like flame throwing fire ants are crawling in and out of my vagina, omg.. my 5 month old son will be awake soon and I'm in tears with an ice pack between my legs.. I hate Monistat"


"It was great! I also have adhesions which cause constipation too, used the Relistor injection and it never worked."


"I've been using Aczone twice a day for 4 and a half weeks for my red pimples. When I went to my dermatologist she put a needle in each pimple it was a medicine which helped a little bit. And ever since using aczone nothing worked. It clearly says after a specific period of time if the cream doesn't work change it to a new cream or gel. This cream is not so great. Giorgio armani CC cream works for my skin way better, and the dior nude air powder is great for my oily skin.  I will definitely get a different  prescription cream."


"I've taken Geodon for the past year and it's the best thing that has ever happened to me.  It gave me my life back.  I no longer bounce between mania and depression.  The best thing is that I can sleep at night.  I had never experienced a good night's sleep until this medicine was prescribed for me.  I didn't even know it.  While I do miss the mania, I feel much more stable and well.  I eventually got used to the drowsy feeling and it's mild now.  My only wish is that I didn't have to ingest the calories for it to work.  Sometime I would like to have a salad for dinner but can't because it's not enough calories.  That is my only complaint.  This is a great medication that changed my life for the better."


"I am not very happy because it left me red spots and I look like a tomato."


"I have only been on BuSpar a few days.  I can tell a difference in the anxiety and general anxious feeling.  I had been thinking that it might not be helping as much as it needs to be, but after reading everyones comments I think I will stick with it.  Maybe I need a higher dose than what I am taking now.  Thank you for making me see that this medicine is worth sticking with it."


"I use Voltaren Gel for knee arthritis.  If I take a pain pill, it takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to work.  This works in seconds, and fixes "most" of the pain, "most" of the time.  It also helps my very sore feet, probably plantar fasciatis.   I don't know why they did not give this to me earlier, its much more effective than oral NSAID's or even Vicodin, as this works faster, much faster.   I use it less often than recommended (up to 4 times a day), because its not needed.  Once or twice a day for me relieves the pain, pronto.  It also helps my wife, with her osteoarthritis pain."


"I have severe allergies and life has been miserable. I couldn't afford the time or money anymore for allergy shots. Claritan stopped working. So did a bunch of over the counter allergy medications. I took so many cough and zinc lozenges my tongue became sore. I coughed all the time, to the point of stomach pain and incontinence. My coworker just gave me a Benadryl. I was on the verge of going home sick, but now I'm 100% better. A stress rash that was erupting on the back of my neck just now went away. This is a marvelous product, and I didn't know it had so many uses."


"I'm 19 years old, 105lbs, and I've never been pregnant. I had skyla inserted about 4 days ago and so far it's absolutely amazing and worth it. I was looking for a birth control that was long term, easily reversible, effective, and something that I didn't have to worry about every single day. After lots of research an IUD fitted all of the requirements. My doctor recommended skyla because it was a smaller IUD with hormones. The insertion was kinda painful and uncomfortable but not anything that I couldn't handle. The pain just felt like intense menstrual cramps. The symptoms I experienced after were mild cramping a few hours after insertion, light bleeding for about a day, and nausea a couple days later. Overall I am so glad I chose skyla!"


"I admit I was sooo worried! I've only taken Plan B once, back when it was two pills..this time it was one pill and I had to get the generic brand, Take Action, But it WORKS JUST AS GOOD! I did do my research, and I asked the pharmacist was it just as efficient, he assured me it was the same exact pill as Plan B just a few dollars cheaper! I paid 46$ and it was WORTH IT! Im so thankful, I experienced mild cramps and bloating. My period started 5 days after taking Take Action and boy was I happy to see her! Its' a little heavy and my cramps are out of this world! But ladies it Works! Please don't worry yourselves like I did this week!"


"I have been off of birth control for 2 years. Started back on Tri-Sprintec. I have not stopped having nausea. Feel very sad as well. I got in the middle of the pack, break-through bleeding, which has turned into a period from hell. Cramping is so bad. No weight gain yet, too sick to eat! This is my first month though. Good Luck."


"Have had sleep problems last 10 years or so. Went to sleep clinic, apparently I do not fall into deep sleep stage. Doctor put me on Ambien 5mg. Wonderful. I slept all night and felt great next day! Fast forward 4 months. End up being tested for Lupus, Lyme disease and bloodwork galore because of muscle and joint pain that would show up  in different places and I was suffering EXTREME tiredness and weakness during day. All tests negative so doctor wanted me to stop taking Ambien and switched me to trazadone. Been a week now. So far so good but insomnia is back. Will NOT be continuing trazadone. Causing excessive pvc's and feels like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. Does NOT help me sleep even a little. Sad about the Ambien."


"First placed on medication for severe arthritis of one hip. Helped with pain at the lower dose however eventually I needed an increased dose. The increased dose increased my nausea, weird dreams, itchy skin and twitching. My blood pressure also increased. I began to stumble and fall while walking slowly. My nerves seemed  to cause me to tremble internally. Currently I am tired all the time however I can not stay asleep at night. Last year I tried to get off the medication however I had severe withdrawal. I had trouble standing up, I was so dizzy and my stomach was upset. I will soon be getting a hip replacement since the side effects decrease your quality of life.  I am withdrawing from this medication prior to surgery."


"Buspirone worked for me in the beginning by eliminating anxiety as well as nightmares.  However, nightmares and anxiety returned and in response my doctor increased my dose.  Now, I experience anxiety at night that has  progressed to paranoia,as well as vivid nightmares.  I cannot stay asleep when I can actually fall asleep.  My mind goes a mile a minute and I have tried meditation and exercise.  On average, I get about 3 hours of sleep a night.  I have even started drinking a glass of wine or two just to calm my nerves. I now avoid going to bed just so I don't have to deal with the anxiety."


"Can take in the middle of the day and it doesn't even make me sleepy."


"I took Wellbutrin at first to quit smoking. This was last year. It really did help me quit smoking and that was great. I have to say DO NOT DRINK ON WELLBUTRIN because it made me black out and huge problems from this. After my bad experience drinking on Wellbutrin I stopped taking it. After reading these reviews again I have decided to get back on it and this time around I wont have a problem seeing as I quit drinking completely. I have been in denial for a ling time but I do suffer from severe depression and weight problems and I am praying that this time around I can stick to it and turn my life around. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories they are very inspiring!

"


"So, I've been on it 4 days?  I'm starving.  Because I'm on a 1,000 cal diet with it.  The suppressed appetite hasn't kicked in yet.  I'd say I've probably lost some water weight - mostly because I'm drinking so much water to keep from starving.  I went through CMWL at the recommendation of another doctor, and because I've gained about 50 lbs in the last year - some of them were that boyfriend belly & then I got that break-up belly.  Now I'm 33, 5'5, 263 lbs (!!!), and I just have to make a change.  I've finally reached the point where I don't want to be like this forever.  I was always around 200... and okay with that.  But I can't anymore.  I don't even want to look in the mirror.  So I'm ready to get over the side effects."


"I was diagnosed with Rosacea years before taking this drug. The usual topical prescription did not give much relief so I quit using them. When I developed little hard bumps I went to a new doctor and was given Oracea samples to try. I was AMAZED! I thought for years that my face was always "puffy" due to lack of sleep or diet but after taking this for just 2 weeks I looked and felt so much better. Puffy skin GONE, redness DRASTICALLY decreased. I am SO EXCITED about this drug. I have just 2 negatives: #1 - my side effect was a burning sensation around my mouth and on my lips. No redness, just the sensation - this subsided in my 4th week of use. #2 - cost of this drug is too much. After my samples ran out I was unable to afford it and now suffer again."


"I started on March 6. I've lost 10lbs within 10 days on March 16. The only thing that I am worried about is that I am spotting a lot. "


"I had to have oral surgery as the first stage of dental implants. I had four molars extracted, a sinus lift and bone grafting. I asked to be put out. I was crying from fear before the surgery, worried about getting sick from the anesthesia. They gave me some versed in my iv and everything was okay. I loved it, maybe too much. No anesthesia sickness and NO fear. I highly recommend it."


"I was on tri- lo in high school and I was fine with it but my life now is so miserable. I am always depressed and everytime I eat I just feel sick to my stomach. I have no motavation to get up in the morning and I'm always tired no matter how many hours I sleep, I have headaches like nobody's business. I highly recommend talking to your doctor before getting on this ."


"Experienced dizziness and headaches, lumps and pain first day after injection. Week has passed and symptoms are still present."


"I have taken Zoloft for a while but I was packing on the pounds and noticed I was getting kind of irritable when I'm normally very laid back. Doc gave me 2 sample packs of Viibryd to try. 10mg I had some stomach upset (mostly diarrhea) and an INTENSE craving for sweets/carbs. These went away eventually. Then up to the 20mg. I found that I had zero appetite and literally had to force myself to eat. Normally I'd be happy about this but my mood became so dark (weeping/angry). I got to the point where I couldn't handle it anymore and had to stop. Hopefully it works better for you all! Good luck! :)"


"So I will NEVER take dulcolax ever again!! I took the correct dose before bed and went sleep but around early hours that morning I ended up in the bathroom with agonising stomach cramps and diarrhoea. I felt awful and the pain was ridiculous! Would rather have constipation and suffer the pain of going when it happens than help it along with this stuff. Glad it's not just me who experienced this pain. I'm so nervous about taking laxatives now to the point where I'm bleeding when I go because I'm on tablets for my health problems that cause constipation however I'm too nervous to take laxatives with it."


"I took the 4 pills at once, I wasn't really told anything about it, it was a kind of "take these, don't have sex for a week" kind of thing. So I took them and went home, because of what time is was when I got home, I had to get changed and go straight to work, not leaving myself anytime to eat (I hadn't eaten anything all day). I got to work and I was feeling perfectly fine, I didn't have any of the being sick or anything like everybody else seems to have had. However around 10pm when I was on the bar, I went very pale and felt extremely faint; I do think this was because of me not eating though."


"This drug has worked great for my anxiety. I'm prescribed 25mg twice a day as needed and then two before bedtime for sleep issues. It definitely works. Just be warned that it will make you extremely loopy until you get used to it. Be careful with the alcohol with it because it triples the effect of it. Keep it to one drink maximum."


"I was diagnosed w/Crohn's in 2005 after having years of severe diarrhea, stomach pain/cramping & nausea.  After a few weeks of taking the Pentasa (4 grams daily) I felt unbelievably better.   Within the last year I have had lots of break through flares & have had to add other meds (6-MP & Humira shots).  I have had an active flare since mid-December w/no relief.  I have reduced my Pentasa to 2 grams a day because I had noticed that my nausea & other symptoms were more severe on the 4 grams.  Even though I feel better my symptoms have not improved enough & I have to now add Remicade infussion therapy to my long list of meds.  I think that these meds are helpful as long as they are adjusted depending on your symptoms."


"I read a lot of scary reviews before I went out and bought the overnight anyway... Either those reviews are exaggerated extremely, or I got lucky. The burning was pretty minimal, you have to also consider the medicine is doing a job in one night instead of 7... So there will be itching and burning. It's about 20 hours into treatment and it itches a little, but when you get a yeast infection, it causes little tiny cuts on the inside.. This is why it itches and burns a bit! All in all, it seems to be doing its job, and the pain is not horrendous ( for me anyway ). If you start experiencing pain, or swelling, try benydrl or ibuprofen respectively !!"


"I was on Byetta from April 2010 until Aug 2012.  My sugars were great, I lost weight, but my nails became thin and weak, my hair became brittle and balding.  I am now 57.  My doctor ran test, my thyroid is find.  My skin is EXTREMELY dry.  I read that there were complaints of hair loss - so I quit taking it (my Dr's. suggestion).  I only hope my hair will get healthier and COME BACK!"


"Happy, hard and excited again says it all."


"Very bad. It is one pill a day. Got anxiety, skin rash and was not hungry.
Would not recommend"


"I started Copaxone about six months ago.  I had been diagnosed with MS 10 years ago but didn't take anything for it but a giant dose of B vitamins daily.  Last December, I had my first real flare up and it was awful.  The nuero told me I had no choice now, but to take something.  So after researching with my husband, I decided on Copaxone.  Do not give up if you just started and are having itchy bumps and stinging when injecting.  It really did get better for me.  I did have one incident of the chest tightness and anxiety which lasted about three minutes but only once.  When I read the side effects from other drugs (Flu like symptoms and hallucinations!) I picked this drug.  So far, so good.  Neuro thinks I am not progressing at this point."


"So, I started this because I'm terrible with rememebering to take the pill daily. I absolutely LOVED the fact that I only had to go in every 3 months to get it done. The shot was very minor, with little to no pain. For the first three months it was heavenly, I had no side effects, and no period what so ever. But the road after that was hell. I gained a total of 40 pounds (in 6 months) due to the fact that I was hungry all the time. I was very moody and depressed also. Not only that, but I basically lost all my sex drive, and the majority of the time on the shot I spotted, and when I wasn't spotting, I was on my period. "


"I have been on Lutera now for 8 months and it has made a very positive difference in my life. This was my first time going on birth control, and it was originally because I had such horrible headaches and cramps, but now I have a lighter period, headaches and cramps are rare, and I don't get depressed every month. Overall, it has worked really well for me. Only downside is having to remember to take it at the same time every day...and for the first week or two I just felt a little off and had some headaches and breast tenderness. Everyone is different, but after my experience, would recommend Lutera."


"I have been on this since September and I have a scar on my arm where it was inserted, which they said I wouldn't get. Since then, I have had a HEAVY period EVERY SINGLE DAY except TWO DAYS. This constant period has been going on for over 5 months now, almost 6. I have gone from 120lbs to 160lbs, get terrible acne, and deal with even more debilitating depression and anxiety.   However, this is just MY experience, and more people with bad experiences will share on here than people with good experiences. It would not exist if there were more bad than good experiences. Although, without this birth control, I would be getting my periods just as often and heaver, so might as well take what I can get and not be pregnant yet."
