"I use Clarinex tabs 5mg for sinusitis. It helps me more then all the antibiotics and nasal sprays the doctor was prescribes."


"Relives pain fast"


"I too had a rash close to my vagina, a pretty bad one & my gynecologist said it was bacterial vaginosis along with a yeast infection. It was my 1st infection so I had no idea what was going on. She prescribed me metronidazole 500 mg for 7 days, on day 4 I took Diflucan 1, on day 7 I took another Diflucan 1, three days later I took my last one. I didn't start seeing  results until I was taking both medications together. For those of you who have to pay for your medicine go on their website they have a $5 off coupon."


"I LOVE my IUD!  It's so worth the 2 minutes of pain to have 3+ years of not worrying or taking a pill.  Got mine inserted at pp and it was free and they were all very nice and let me lay down for 15 min afterward.  I had been on the pill for a couple years and had not had my period in a while, my first period after the IUD lasted 9 days.  After that I had a couple days of spotting each month and now, about 3 months later, I have no period at all.  I have no skin or mood issues with this IUD, and minimal bloating.  This is so worth it to have no period or worries about pregnancy."


"Dentist took my blood pressure at 218/105, a total shock to me since it has always been low except for white coat usually around 150/90. She sent me to the ER. EKG was normal, and I felt shaky but otherwise okay. 10 mg Norvasc was prescribed and within 2 days BP was down in the 130/70 range in the morning. 6 weeks later it is often 115-125/70 and is rarely above 135/75. I had a strongly pounding heartbeat for a few days the first week, which went away. I was also tired the first couple of days and my legs felt heavy on my daily 2-mile walk -- that also resolved by the second week. It's working for me though my goal is to lose enough weight and exercise enough to eventually get off it. I'm a 62-year old female."


"Have had colitis for 40 yrs, started with Librax. Helps relieve the spasms and reduce trips to the bathroom."


"It worked very well in making me stay asleep but it gave me such a stuffy nose I had trouble falling asleep but when I finally did fall asleep it was great. Needless to say I couldn't handle the stuffy nose so I stopped taking them."


"I've been using it for about 18 months. Had used ointments, creams, etc.  They helped. This has me about 90% cleared 80% of the time, even in winter (when it's usually worse).  No real side effects -- upset stomach the first few days but that went away.  Miracle drug so far for me."


"I just finished my third pack of the pills and overall, I have gained weight, my acne got worse, but in all honesty, I have been eating pure sh*t while on the pill and even before so I can't really say if the acne and weight gain came from taking the pill. I also got migraines and felt nauseous sometimes. I did not get the pill to prevent pregnancy because I'm not having sex at all lol I just got on the pill to regulate my period and so far, it is doing that."


"Terrible product that should be avoided!  Don't let your dermatologist talk you into this by giving you a small sample tube first.  You try it and initially it seems like a miracle rosacea cure.  You then have to buy a bigger tube for $80 but it is not a solution to the problem.  It starts off working for a full day at a time but after a week or so the rebound flushing is terrible.  I was applying at 7.30am in the morning before work but after a couple of weeks the severe rebound flushing was kicking in around 4pm in the afternoon.  Face goes severely red for rest of the night.  I had to stop using it, stay at home for a few days until it gets out of your system."


"I'm 48 years old and had the Mirena for 4 years now, it totally stopped my period and I was very pleased due to heavy bleeding. I have had dizziness, weight gain, and lots of acne, hair loss etc. I'm getting it removed a year early. It took a toll on my body, but everybody is effected in different ways."


"I had the Mirena inserted in August 2015. The insertion was not fun, but it wasn't awful. I had pretty intense cramps off and on for about two months. Also, only incredibly light periods since insertion. Like, only needing a panty liner. No weight gain, and no acne. All in all, a great experience."


"I have suffered from acne for about 4 years. It is moderate not severe. I tried antibiotics but nothing cleared it. My dermatologist suggested Accutane but my acne just wasn't severe enough to risk all of those horrible side effects. I went back to my family doctor and he prescribed me Benzaclin. I began using this with Neutrogena rapid clear oil removing face wash and immediately I saw results. This wash really helped dry up my oily skin and keep it matte all day long. No moisturizer as this seems to just encourage breakouts for acne prone skin. My acne is totally clear right now and I just have red pigmentation spots from where my acne was, for now I cover it with make up until it fades but already the Benzaclin has done wonders to lighten."


"Made my feet swell"


"My doctor is insisting I start taking this in spite of having NOOO problem AT ALL whatsoever with what I am taking now !!   I have had OIC for 20 years. This Movantix has a huge risk of side effects. I take a dose of miralax and  one stool softener ( ducosate CALCIUM ,NOT ducosate SODIUM ) and PROBLEM SOLVED for years!!!!! If I eat a lot of bread I take extra ducosate calcium pill. NO SIDE EFFECTS WHATSOEVER !!!  Every time I see a TV commercial for all of these prescription laxatives I cringe. Why take meds with side effect worries???  My new doctor is adamant that I try this Movantik when I don't need to switch what works!!"


"This medicine worked at first, but after taking it for a few (2) weeks, I developed anxiety & panic attacks. I've had panic attacks in the past but not like these. I wasn't afraid of anything specific; it was like a constant fear. Also, my heart would race so bad. I am being weaned off this & switching to Zyprexa."


"I began taking Lo Loestrin Fe in December 2011. I am 5'3" and 110 lbs so my OB/GYN prescribed it because of its low amount of hormones. It took about three months for it to regulate my periods and for the headaches and nausea to go away, and then my periods came two days a month and were extremely light with no cramps. All of a sudden, my periods started arriving earlier and earlier to the point where I started two weeks early and had a week-long period. I haven't had any pregnancy scares, weight gain, or crazy side affects from Lo Loestrin Fe but the fact that the low hormone dosage can't control my menstrual cycle is making me switch birth control."


"Diagnosed with sciatica , and confirmed via MRI.  Took Gabapentin for over 1 month, starting with 100 mg 3x daily, then titrating up to 600 mg 3x daily.  It didn't work at all for me.  Had to take Advil 3 capsules 3x daily, which worked on alleving the pain, but the Advil started to affect my kidneys.  Doctor is prescribing another med to try next."


"Never have taken the generic brand before the pharmacy took it upon themselves to switch it ( Rite Aid) I have to say I'm on day 3 of 5 and it's not working.With original the 3 day Pak I started feeling better that night now got to call the doc back and have it represcribed somewhere else and tell them to do not do generic!!!"


"2 years ago I realised that if I wasn't careful I was going to end up losing everything as a result of my very heavy drinking. I've taken disulfiram regularly since then. I have occasionally stopped taking it for a few weeks at a time (and drank as a result) but I'm sober 99% of the time now. I once had a reaction when I misjudged the amount of time I need to be off it before drinking and believe me......you don't want to experience that. Ever. I thought my heart was going to explode and I was covered in terrible blotches and felt very sick for several hours. I was told that it's generally a very safe medication provided that you DO NOT DRINKING WHILE ON IT."


"I'm a 25 year old woman who has struggled with IBS-C for about 5 years now. I started off taking linzess but it was too strong and I would just have to run to the bathroom every 15 minutes for hours. So my doctor put me on the 8 mg dose of amitiza and my life has changed for the better. It still takes me an hour to go to the bathroom in the morning but I'm not waiting to go anymore. The medication works. I take it before bed and 2 hours before I wake up to give it a chance to work in my body and then drink a glass or 2 of water to kickstart it when I get up. And I don't have to worry about constipation anymore. I've been on it for 4 months and I love Amitiza."


"It works so much better than albuterol. It doesn't make you choke and there is little or no heart racing after using it."


"I had very bad anxiety in 2008. After visiting my Dr. he prescribed Inderal. Within ten days, I became a new man. I stopped taking it since my anxiety reduced from 10 to 2. The remaining 2 degree remained within my control. This last for roughly 6 years. This was back in the Middle East where I am originally from. In 2015, my anxiety suddenly came back. This times I was/am in the US. I went to Dr and told him I had the same problem (anxiety) which I overcame it with roughly two weeks of taking Inderal. Well, he was glad that I had ready treatment for myself. But even after for 40 days of taking it with the same dosage, I did not get more than 3 in 10 improvement in my anxiety. Not sure why; whether it was my age or company/country issue."


"Brand Name works great. Does the job and not even noticeable to myself that I've taken it. It will make me sleepy once I lay down, but fully functional on this medication until then. I've taken this drug since 1992.

Unfortunately can NOT find this medicine in Brand name."


"My daughter is 11 years old and she has been on 10mg of strattera for 28 days and has just jumped to 18mg. My concerns are the side effects. Skin rash, headaches and severe stomach cramps since going onto the higher dosage. Do I persist or take her off? Doctor wants me to persist but I am worried I am doing more harm. She battles to fall asleep taking pill at 6pm and in bed at 8:15pm. She cried every morning because she is tired. Should I be taking it in the morning?"


"Just didn't work."


"Helped me urinate a stream like you wouldn't believe. Took this medicine for 6 years and saw my sexual performance fade away fast. Sex felt numb. No ejaculation, poor performance for my wife. Finally quit and have better erections and love life is much better now. "


"I have severe endometriosis, frequent ovarian cysts, pain from Crohn's, as well as some unexplained abdominal pain. I've been dealing with this for close to 5 years and have been in and out of the ER, seeing doctors weekly, missing work and just had an overall poor life due to all the pain. I've been put on every narcotic pain medication out there and still was having pain, it seemed like nothing would touch it. My doctor suggested getting a hysterectomy and I was devastated because I was only 25 without children. His one last attempt was tramadol. It is a miracle for me. I was so happy that I found this and my quality of life has improved 100 fold."


"Has helped me more than any treatment in the past with no weight gain and anxiety"


"I was diagnosed with Diabetes in February 2010 after I passed out in my office and my blood sugar taken at the time was 580. My doctor initially out me on Metformin but it was not controlling my blood sugar. He switched me to Janumet and now my reading are consistently in the 90's and I have suffered no side effects. I started working out and eating nutritiously right after being diagnosed and I have dropped 100 lbs."


"I have a very high tolerance for a lot of pain medications due to pain issues. Your body always needs more and more to produce the same effect until almost nothing works.

Fortunately, this type of medication doesn't affect me that way. Although I guess it is mainly used for depression. It has worked like a charm for me to get my body to sleep much longer. And I have never had to increase the dose. The only drawback for me with this medication is that when I do wake up I am pretty groggy for about 45 minutes."


"This patch provided much needed relief from my constant need for a bathroom. I can now enjoy so many things that I could not do before the patch like the movies, walking, or running errands without looking for a bathroom. The only draw back is the sticky adhesive marks left by the patch. But these sticky adhesive marks come off with bath oil and a finger nail brush."


"Has caused extreme depression with me."


"To start out here a brief background. I've never had issues with my weight. Even after I had my 3rd child at 28. I still was able to loose the weight in about 6 months. I was back at 140. Then I had my 4th child at 31. 2 months after having her, I got a tubal. Than packed on more weight on top of just having a baby. When I stepped on the scales at 213, I about cried. So I went to my doctor and got the diet medicine. Out of curiosity I stepped on the scale. It read 199. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. But I'm excited to be back under 200. My goal is 140. Besides the dry mouth and running to the bathroom is the only side effects I've had. And I can live with that till this weight comes off.  I'm excited to see what it will be in a month."


"I've been taking Plaquenil since May 2008 for Dermatomyositis and rheumatoid arthritis. It's been great!  It helped greatly with the fatigue.

Highly recommended."


"I take Naproxen when my knees hurt from arthritis, but I have to take it every day for at least  3 days for the pain to go away. Now my Dr. doesn't want me to Naproxen any longer, he said it's not good for  people 65 to take it, I want to find out why?"


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


"I was amazed how fast this worked.  I was having sciatic back pain and nothing was helping.  It took away almost all my pain.  Meds usually upset my stomach but this did not as long as I ate a small snack with it."


"If you suffer with occasional constipation like me and you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome then this is a great medication. It is very safe with very little side effects that most women will already go through. Like headaches and random nausea and dizziness. I take this medication 2-3 pills twice a day and I feel so much better being on this medication. It isn't normal to go a day or two or three or even a week like what used to happen to me without having a bowel movement. This medication will help you release all that waste you need to. It works great for me. IBS is not a fun condition but I guess it's just for all of us lucky people to struggle with and experiment trial and error. Give Amitiza a try it really works. Good luck!"


"Severe burning nerve pain from Shingles on side of my face and scalp. Pain was so severe it broke me down. Standard pain medications (tylenol, etc) were not strong enough to take even the edge of my pain.

Doctor prescribed this. Took two days to fully work. Now I'm aprox 90% pain free. Taking 300 mg three times a day. When I first started taking it I right away it made me very drowsy--enough to overshadow the pain to get a bit of sleep. I was grateful for at least that. This drug has also has a nice relaxing effect. It still makes me drowsy. I'm o.k. with that as it is helping me rest so I can recover. I know drugs don't work for everyone, but I'm grateful it is working for me. Winter 2016"


"It worked well with the first dose, but the sinus headache, rubbery limb feeling, and upper respiratory scratchiness make it not worth taking."


"I don't recommend this medicine for anyone.   I stopped taking Alli (which is over the counter orlistat) after experiencing pain in my upper abdomen.  This medication causes liver damage!!!  I wish someone would have to me.  I have seen specialists after specialists to determine what is wrong with me.  YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE IT!  Also I was diagnosed with h pylori. This bacteria in rare cases causes stomach"


"Took it for 6 weeks, 2 x 100mg for prostate problem.

Worked after taking it for 5 weeks.

But had unexpected side effects of mood swings - temperamental, depressed easily. Also sweat easily in BIG droplets. Reduced energy/vitality levels.

"


"Out of all the benzodiazepines I think that Xanax (alprazolam) is the best for me, acts quick & does what it says, just be careful & if you are going to ask your Dr. For them I recommend maybe starting out a smaller dose and work up from there. If that doesn't work, the reason is, after a bit you get a little immune to strength & can bump up in dosage if this happens, unless you have a high tolerance, then maybe start at 1 mg, that way you can still move up if that doesn't work, but I recommend starting small & moving up in dosage if needed."


"Simponi felt like it was working the first 2 months. But my flare ups are still monthly and today after 6 months, my doctor said I am getting worse, and is taking me off Simponi. I am 53, have rheumatoid arthritis since 2007."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Had done this  process  3 timesbefore, 1st time use Prepopkit. Co-pay is $125 since insurance won't cover this. Followed instruction exactly and no effect ion.  No BM after 1st dose, has three after 2nd dose. I have one hour left and still not clean. Sucks."


"My diagnosis is Bipolar one.  I have been on Serequel XR for 3 years now.  I have been stable for one year which is amazing.  I am very lucky that this medication works really well for me.  For the first few months or so it increased my appetite and I was fairly sedated throughout the day.  As I adjusted to the medication this wore off.  I now function better than I ever have.  Suicidal thoughts are pretty much all gone, and when they do come, they pass.  Have not had any depression, and only slightly concerning elevated moods (which happen rarely.)  This drug prevents me from psychosis and for that I am extremely thankful.  I am on 600mg once at night.  UK resident."


"Worst decision ever!  I have literally had my period every single day since about having it in for a month since Aug 2014 With maybe a couple days or a week here and there of breaks but right back.  Yes it has prevented me from getting pregnant but at this point sex is a complete turn off I get so embarrassed with the constant bleeding even though my partner doesn't care,  I can't even think about sex anymore. My doctor kept telling me to wait it out that the bleeding would stop eventually and almost 2 years later,  no thanks!!  Thankfully I will be having it removed the 21st. Never had any issues with depo."


"Saved my life I can now socialise, work and function properly no weight gain issues but it makes me sweat while sleeping not sure if this will pass as the weeks go on but that's the only issue I have otherwise it's a good med for me"


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host

"I recently went to the doctor after seeing a small bump on my vagina. I was so freaked out because it hurt and burned when I used the restroom. I was so nervous going in and embarrassed. I looked online and thought the worst. As soon as my doctor seen it she said it was herpes. I thought it was the end of the world I fainted and thought I was going to die. But she explained that about 85 percent of people have it. There are two types. Type 1 and 2. Type 1 being from the waist and above. And type 2 being anything below the waist. Herpes can be treated and it's not HIV or aids so don't freak out."


"Three years ago following somr major life changes I became depressed for the first and only time in my life....so far at least! Out of now I began to feel more and more isolated and detached from everyone around me and could find no happiness in anything.... despite embarking on a new relationship with a lovely person I continued over a few months to spiral downwards until thoughts of suicide started to become appealing as a solution. I spoke to a trusted colleague and considered therapy but decided, without much hope, to see my doctor. My doctor prescribed citalopram which I took over the next few months....10mg tablets..   ...all I can say is that it worked. Gradually the feelings of dismay and helplessness eased until I felt....normal. x"


"I went to the ER with sunstroke. I was vomiting, a massive headache and stomach pain. I became quite out of it and was moaning and in and out of consciousness. My mum called an ambulance and they gave me a needle with a nausea medication (I can't remember the name) but it worked well and the nausea started the disappear but I was so exhausted I was still out of it. Once I got to the hospital the ambulance men told the doctors what they gave me but the nurse still decided to give me something else. She put in an IV of what I thought was just fluids but I was wrong. My heart started to race and I became anxious. I started shaking and had a massive anxiety attack wanting to rip my IV out. It didn't go away for 3 days!! DON'T HAVE THIS DRUG!!"


"I just recently had my 4th Botox injection. For the first time, other than needing to use catheters due to retention (just 1 1/2 wks now), I feel normal. Every 4 hrs, and my bladder is actually full!! Over the next couple of weeks that will get better, but I still might have to cath. (knowledge from past experience) after intercourse and 1st thing in the AM. I'm okay with that. Forgot what that was like since my hyst 10 yrs. ago. For those who are frustrated after two weeks: Patience...give it time. It takes a few times for things to begin to be better, and each Botox brings better relief.

The pain during the injections, although quite powerful, are well worth the results!! At least for me."


"I am 18 Years old and was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst just about a little more that 1 month ago so I was put on the birth control for that reason.
Week 1: Was on period. Horrible on the 2nd day of taking the pill I threw up all day and had nothing to eat.
Week 2: Not as bad as week one though experiencing weight gain from 132.2 to weight 138.8 almost 139lbs
Week 3: Started period early noticing a lot of shedding of the hair. Moody boyfriend can see that I am very angry and mean at this point.
Week 4: Diet change, feeling a lot better no more sleepiness.
1 Mo.: Doing alot better weight going back down (134.8)."


"I have severe chronic pain and have had everything that every doctor ever wanted to try on me only to make everything worse. I have been on pain medicines for 10 years and I tried Suboxone. It's great for getting off the pain medicines because it stops the withdrawals but it doesn't work for pain for more than about a week. I tried it for a month but the pain I am in was just too much to handle for me."


"I got the depo shot at my 8 week check. I wanted to try the patch but doctor said my body had been through a lot (4th baby in 11 years) and should get something bomb proof so agreed to the depo shot. My first issue was when I went online to do some research and found it can take a long time to get fertility back, I know I have 4 but my last it took me two years and multiple losses, it's not her choice to make for me to not have more children, if I was to have another I would want it soon and would then get my tubes tied. The day after horrific cramps started. A week after I started spotting, the following week I bled heavily and that's where I'm at, no sign of it stopping. I won't get pregnant I can't even have sex, which was the point!"


"My 13 yo daughter is on this.  None of the SSRIs worked to control her Obsessive compulsive disorder.  Anafranil had been awesome."


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

"(2/2) from 0.6 to 1.2 I know my digestive system has slowed way down My doctor prescribed Metonia and Domperidone to counteract these side effects which seems to be working for me  I also notice my appetite has continued to be low and I get full very quickly my blood sugar stabilized with 3-4 day after starting the Victoza and despite the side effects I am happy with this medication but hope not to be on it long term as I worry about long term side effects I would recommend this"


"I started using depo when I was 18 after the birth of my first child. Worked excellent!! 0 complaints, i had no period,weight gain or emotional crap. I LOVED IT plus I was breastfeeding and it didnt mess with that. I used it for 3 years. I quit and about 6 months later got pregnant with my second baby. About a year and a half after baby #2 I tried depo agian.... i was moody but not to bad and agian no period.. took it at the 3 month mark and it bit me in the butt badly... I had every bad side effect possiable. I felt like I was crazy and pregnant, had constant spotting it was horriable. Needless to say I stopped.. and about 6 months later was pregnant with baby#3  my doc tells me its a great BC for younger girls....."


"Been on this med 3 weeks .Experienced slight nausea daily no impact on sugar levels ."


"I was prescribed Zyprexa as a one pill cure for my OCD, Insomnia, Anxiety, And Manic Mood Disorder.  I am steadily increasing the Zyprexa dosage starting with 2.5mg.  At 5mg I can state that my OCD is practically gone.  I still have the desire to keep things orderly, but I am not getting frustrated or angry.  I can now leave things to do for another day without obsessing over and over in my mind.  No changes for the Insomnia or Anxiety at this dosage.  I will post as the dosage increases and the symptoms are relieved.  I have no negative effects to report at 5mg Zyprexa."


"Don't take it!  First, it doesn't work. Second, I had stomach pain starting about 15 minutes after I took it. Sick stomach for hours. Then about 5 hours in I started throwing up violently. Delysim is the only thing I had in my stomach."


"I could make it to the bathroom door, but could not even get into the bathroom when there was a small leakage of urine.  That happened twice and while at my doctor's office for a routine visit I consulted with him.  He sent me home with a seven day sample of Detrol LA 4mg capsules. I tried them 14 more days with my pharmacist. For me (a female age 84) this medication has been excellent. There may be side effects but they are easy to deal with compared to any of the other overactive bladder medications that I have studied about."


"I have had the first shot of depo and I bleed for 2 months strait I went to the gyno and they had to get the layer of decayed uterin wall and the gyno advised me not get on the depo shot anymore because he's had to many women come in with the same problem. So I would advise get the rod in your arm it's strictly progestin just like depo but you don't have any bleeding at all"


"I just got my Liletta inserted about 2 hours ago.  I was mentally prepared for the pain which never came.  There was a little pressure, but no pinch, and no shooting sensation.  I will add that I am 35 and have 3 kids with no anesthesia so maybe my tolerance for pain is a bit above average, but I feel more confident that it was the expertise of my physician.  I did take a prescription ibuprofen before I went and was able to drive to work.  I will be back to update if I experience any side effects that I may attribute to the device."


"I've been on Topiramate now for 3 yrs after switching from Lamotrogine, on which I had a full-on epileptic seizure. My experience on Topiramate however has been fine. I lost weight like others seem to have, but have since put it back on. I surrendered my driving license for a year after the seizure but have since got that back. I carry out my job with ease as well so really can't complain there. The only issues I've had are the side effects of tingly hands and feet, sudden dizziness, becoming very, very tired all of a sudden - and more recently - losing my train of thought, getting confused easily and being unable to focus. I've noticed this mainly happens though when I'm bored and have nothing to do. When I'm busy, all works well."


"Eighteen year old female, just started taking Strattera on Thanksgiving.  Slept through the entire day and night, had lucid dreams, woke up angry and crying.  I tried it a second day, Friday, and managed to stay awake (more due to the fact that I was reading a good book).  I refused to take it on Saturday because I was visiting family and I didn't want to be moody or drowsy around people that I get to see maybe twice a year.  Took it again this morning, barely managed to finish a short story before falling asleep in the car, which I have NEVER done before.  Still feeling the effects of it right now, got yelled at for falling asleep, still moody, still have homework to do.  I'll check back in a few days after school.  "


"This drug has really helped me get back to the " the old me" again. I gain five sounds with this medication which I am not happy about but medication has really help me with my deprestion."


"I am a physically healthy (runner) 25 year old male. I have never been mentally healthy, so I have tried antidepressants. I tried Prozac and Wellbutrin. Prozac didn't help or hurt ,but it gave me dangerous mood swings. I was prescribed Effexor 2.5 months ago. It seemed a perfect fit for me. I was wrong. I was on 75 mg each day. It actually made me sadder. I had no weight or sexual side-effects but had vertigo. The worst was CRIPPLING insomnia while taking it, and now I am close to 0 mg, but I still get night sweats and "brain zaps". As I write this, I've had 13 hours of sleep in the past 5 days. "


"This medication completely turned my life around. For 2 years I've been going through countless of antidepressant cocktails without much luck (one of them was Effexor and Mirtazapine which apparently is one of the most effective combos)

It was until a few months ago when I demanded being evaluated for bipolar disorder, and after a few tests they put me on Lamictal (in combination with Wellbutrin, Prozac and Mirtazapine) the first titration weeks was hell, my mood was all over the place. But early February everything did a 180 and now I'm finally able to live a normal adult life"


"I was opiate dependent for almost 6 years.  Six years of my life that I hardly remember because I was in a cloud of Oxycontin and other heroin like prescription drugs. About 6 months ago I was introduced to the Suboxone program and ever since that day I've had my life back.  I used to steal, lie and do whatever it took to get a fix. I lost my family, friendships, jobs, cars, everything. Now over the last six months I've turned into a different person, the person I was before taking drugs.  I would recommend Suboxone for anyone who is dependent on pain killers.  I would also however, recommend seeking counseling along with it to prevent any relapsing."


"Tooth infection. After taking 5 of the 28 pills I had the worst heartburn of my life and could not even lay down. After 10 of them I ended up in the ER with chest pains, excruciating heartburn, diarrhea, and the itchiest hives from head to toe. They were however very effective at clearing up the infection which in turn reduced the pain in my mouth significantly. So for me, where tooth pain is almost intolerable it was a trade off I accept."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Pretty salty, but not as salty as magnesium citrate.  Clear liquid, like a watered down cough syrup.  Mine was "cherry" flavored.  Choked it down by holding my nose and thought I did okay but after about five minutes threw everything up.  Have to reschedule my upper and lower and they are going to try me on Miralax and Gatorade to see if I can keep that down.  I have some problems with sugars and it sounds like I shouldn't have even been given this one b/c it's loaded with sugar.  With all this technology you would think someone would have figured out a better way to do this by now.  Especially considering a good chunk of people having these procedures are doing so because they are experiencing stomach/intestinal upset."


"PAIN. CRAMPS. HEAVY BLEEDING. I had been on this for 2 and 1/2 weeks and the bleeding and pain started. Will get a sonogram this week to check everything because the Dr. said this should not be happening, but after reading the reviews this seems to be normal. With no medical insurance, I am mad. This is costly, painful, unnecessary."


"I take Elavil for insomnia and without it I have a terrible time trying to fall asleep."


"I am 14 in 9th grade and it's my first day after I applied it. It worked til about the 3rd hour class, then started to sweat a little. Not so much people noticed, but I am super self-conscious and was paranoid. I hope it gets better for gym the next day. Since the beginning of last year, I had to wear sweaters every day or I'd have soaked underarms. Today I wore only a plaid over shirt, and barely sweat. again, hope for better results soon!"


"My allergies are terrible, it doesn't matter the season. I have tried Claritin, Zyrtec, you name it I've tried it for my allergies. I finally came sleep at night and wake up without an itchy throat. No more constant sneezing, coughing. I can finally go outside and enjoy the spring time. I have read other reviews of people being tired the next day and I haven't experienced that."


"After using pills and the the shot this I'd the best one by far, I've never had a regular period and after having twins I would get my period twice a month and spot in between. I went on the patch and it regulated me instantl . The only negative is when I first puton the patch it irritates my skin a little and can pul on my skin a little and taking it off unless you're in the shower is hell."


"I was given this for my first colonoscopy. Procedure was successful, relaxed during procedure. It was after the procedure that I became sick to my stomach and was not able to keep anything down for 5 days. Three months later at my annual physical when they went through my blood work with me, my physician asked me if I was drinking again(I am a recovering alcoholic), as my liver functions were askew! After back tracking, we suspected it was the VERSED. I’ve had three more procedures since and it’s in my file that I get severe GI problems from Versed. No more problems since."


"Second time trying this pill first time was awesome no periods at all but this time around (2 years later)  I'm having breakthrough bleeding and I'm noticing I'm more moody than usual. I'm going to finish my pack off, I don't like it so then I'm going to try something different"


"Have been on 30mg mirtazapine for almost a year now, it has made my anxiety stop completely."


"I have been diagnosed as manic depressive, A.D.D. & suffer from high levels of stress & anxiety. I was on Zoloft from 2004 (13y.o.) to 2013 (22), with my highest mg being 150 or 175. Worked ok, but made me zobified. I still had panic attacks & my mood was off. I've been on Citalopram for a month now, just 20mg, & it's helped a LOT. After having my son in 2013, I decided to stay off meds (weaned myself at 22 weeks bc of risk of defects), figuring I might be able to do this on my own. I noticed irritability immediately after he was born. It took me a while to convince myself I needed meds again, when I had an awful panic attack & couldn't sleep. Being on Citalopram has decreased my irritability, & made me a lot less nervous. I'm even working!"


"Sonata is useless. Even when the dose is bumped up to 20 mgs.
 Skip this one and just go for the Ambien."


"Gave me diarrhea, stomach gurgling and felt thirst"


"I started taking Lyza because of my high blood pressure. I have been taking it now for 3 months. Everything was normal until this month. Normally, my cycle would last about 4 to 5 days with little to no cramps or bloating. I'm in my 3rd month and I have been bleeding for 14 days straight. This is not normal for me. I can do 7, but 14 days is to long. What is wrong with this pill?"


"Wow if you get prescribed this vile stuff, beg for a substitution. The taste is purely beyond belief. I complained to the doc today before the procedure and he said he usually prescribes Miralax and Gatoraid.  That would have been heaven.  But I got prescribed this by the admissions team. It is horrible horrible stuff.  It works but it's awful"


"I was very skeptical, but did ended up getting Viagra. I can't recommend these pills enough. I feel like a man all over again. Thank you Viagra."


"I got some relief from constant dry cough but I wouldn't say it's brilliant although I am asthmatic too.  This cough however  was not my normal now and again asthmatic cough.  Once I took the dextromethorphan I had bad diahorrea.   I have found I am now allergic to lots of medication that I never used to be prior to early menopause and and asthma. I  won't be taking again unless I am very desperate."


"I have osteoarthritis in my right knee, and I run.  I also get IT band pain.  So sometimes, I am so stiff and achy either from running, or just because.  I get super stiff behind my knee, and it makes it hard to even walk, or straighten my leg all the way.  I take ibuprofen, I ice it...and that helps some.  I woke up this morning with it being extremely stiff behind my knee.  I applied Pennsaid all over the back and front of my knee.  No kidding - within 5 minutes, most of that stiffness is GONE.  I am in shock.  And if you have knee pain, you know how debilitating it can feel.  This stuff is INSANE - in a good way!!  I'm so glad I have it.  I literally can't believe how much it helped me.  And no, I don't work for a pharmaceutical company."

"Best results for me if I take the 50 mg dose before eating anything.  After a meal, I find that Viagra does not help me get an erection for hours, if at all.  If taken on an empty stomach, it works fast.

I also get flushed, but this tells me that it's working.  I get occasional headaches from Viagra, but the side effects are well worth it!"


"I was put on Natazia by my Ob about a month ago to stop the growth of my ovarian cyst, heavy periods, & cramping. I did notice I was a bit moody, but it shrank one cyst to half it size. I lost 10lbs in the first month. It lightened my cycle the first four days, but it's day 10 with no end in sight. I decided to stay on it for my cyst though."


"Started 10 mg Citalopram 8 days ago and although they said it would take 2 weeks to really work I started to feel better the first day! Minor nausea the first couple times I took it but it went away quick. This stuff has changed my life. Helped me quit smoking. It's so strange being able to walk around and interact in public without anxiety. Improved my sleep overall however you will probably want to make sure you are active during the day because it takes a little more time to fall asleep. Wonderful Medication, wish I started it much sooner."


"I had shoulder surgery back in July 2015. I was prescribed 50mg every 6 hours for pain. I took it just a couple days because I did not need much of it and the side effect dry mouth drove me insane. Fast forward to November 2015. I'm still experiencing severe pain in my shoulder 9/10. So I started using these sparingly whenever I feel like I want to be pain free. It works great and the dry mouth is worth the pain free time I get."


"I'm 47 years old and never even heard of oral "thrush". Went to see my Doc today with the worst cough and horrible sore throat. Yep, he said I had this thrush, put me on Nystatin and one other antibiotic. I mainly came in here to see other comments on how quickly this stuff works. I can't get over how bad my throat hurts and just pray this medicine works."


"I had full blown AIDS in 2004 with a count of 93 and viral load was enormous. I heard you can build a tolerance to Atripla in 3 or 4 years but I haven't. I've taken it for a decade now. No side effects at all. My count is at a steady 800 and I'm always undetectable. I never had any effects. When I first took it I felt a bit high. But I just took it before I went to bed. Now I can't even tell if I've taken it or not.
This is a guess and simply a personal observation of myself but I think it may cause a heightened sensitivity to wheat. I gained weight, cholesterol went up, triglycerides Sky rocketed about 5 years into it. I just stopped soy, wheat and dairy for three months and everything went back to normal. I have no clue if the medicine is it."


"I've been using this product since nov 07, I love it. Having my cycle every month, with just enough cramping to let me know. I still have a period. Works well enough for me and with regular check-ups with my gyn, I'm glad we've made the decision with loestrin 24 fe."


"My son had been on Adderall XR (25mg) for well over 6 years and it has really worked well for him. I would say the only side effect that was difficult to deal with was the lack of appetite.  However, after hitting the teenage years it has fallen back  into normal teenage young man trying to eat everything lol. On a very good note: my son finished his 8 th grade year with A's & B's as well as a 3.4 GPA and is now looking forward to attending high school in the fall."


"I was only able to take 40mg once.  It took all the strength out of my legs - I couldn't even stand up."


"The first time I ever had diverticulitis I ended up in the hospital for three days with massive doses of flagyl through an IV. After that I had a couple of bouts of what I thought were UTI's but ended up the start of diverticulitis (which mostly happens when I travel). Because I recognize the symptoms, I am allowed to have a few pills with me at all times just in case and catching the attack soon enough usually only requires a couple of doses. It has been an absolute lifesaver!!!!! I've had to do the routine of many days and add in Cipro, so it's one of those cases where you need to be in tune with what's happening with your body to avoid getting that sick."


"I have been taking LoSeasonique for 6 1/2 weeks, thought I was going to really like it but started my period 7 days ago with cramps and all and it is still going on, I have a call in to my doctor just waiting for a phone call. I am seriously thinking about giving it up as it was only to alleviate PMS symptoms as I am done having kids and my periods before were only 3 days so would rather have 3 days with severe cramps then non-stop spotting or period as I would call it. Oh and I have also gained weight from it, not much but it has only been 6 weeks."


"Only took this for a week. I couldn't function at all. Was sent home on a daily basis as I couldn't speak, was dizzy to the point of falling over, everything smelt funny tasted funny. as a busy mother and teaching assistant I found this medications side effects not worth the time or effort."


"I am on my third day of taking Chantix. Surprisingly, I already have extreme lack of cravings, however the side effects of this medicine are bad. I have night terrors of which are very graphic and violent. I wake up sweating and at times cried after waking because of the dreams. This has happened every single night so far since taking Chantix. I have nausea, heart palpitations, and headaches. I have also experienced bloating and constipation. I took the medicine today, but I have decided to stop taking it. "


"I was on BC for years and loved the convenience of it. I took a break for a few years but my cycle became irregular. Hoping the pill would help regulate my cycle, I went on Blisovi. I was traveling a lot and assumed my extreme fatigue was due to my busy travel schedule. But no, it is definitely the pill. I'm constantly tired, have a persistent headache, feel like rundown like I'm about to develop a cold, sinus pressure, irritable mood, achy body. The only pros are clearer skin. I eat less, but haven't lost any weight. It's the worst pill I've ever been on."


"Took Ella 48 hours after sex, experienced no symptoms. Period came 4 days late."


"I have never taken any sort of prescription medicine for any type of mental issues in my life. And to be honest, I was scared to take this. I recently found myself going through a life changing experience and was finding myself unable to function at even the most basic level. I was crying all day, every day and was worthless at home and work. It%u2019s now been two weeks since I started taking Pristiq and I find it a God send. I wonder if I could have used something like this in the past.
I find myself much more even keeled. I don%u2019t lose my temper and seem to be a mellower, happier person and in much less of a hurry. I have only cried once since starting my regimen and that was during a very intense moment.
I%u2019ve been a better father and husband and I really like this."


"The time release system seems to be different with everyone cutting the patch into 16 strips allows one to better control this drug to there own need.Naturally a Dr. Can't tell you this but will agree if they know you well and trust you opinion."


"I was very anti-medication. I think people with anxiety often have a phobia of medication. This is too bad, because it can be a total life saver. After a year of anxiety and agoraphobia with hypochondria, I relented and tried the Lexapro. I had not been able to leave the house which was debilitating. I had very few side effects with the meds-maybe minor headaches. After 2 weeks I was able to travel. After 6 weeks I was able to go back to work. It has been two months and I continue to do better. I still need to work on some of the phobic situations, but have not had a panic attack in 2 months. It is a miracle medicine. I do hope I don't need to be on it forever, but for now I am so very happy I took the plunge."


"I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for 2 years and the only time I experienced any side effects was the first month and it was nausea around my period. But since then my periods have been like clock work and light, I haven't gotten pregnant, my acne is totally under control, and my breasts have increased a little. This is the best I've ever taken."


"Epiduo has changed my life. I am a 30 year old women always suffered from acne breakouts especially at that time of the month. My doctor prescribed me Epiduo 3 months ago to use once a night he advised me it wouldn't work over night and to give it time. Within 4 weeks my skin completely cleared up and I haven't had another spot since. The first week I suffered red dry skin so I used Sudocrem and persevered, my skin soon got used to it and now I use it every night as part of my routine. I hardly have any dark red marks left and I've never been happier. Give it a go and give it time. :-)"


"My doctor took me off my pump because I was doing so well.  We began with 10 units.  I am now on 30 units after increasing over 4 month period.  I am beginning to see some improvement but I am going to increase some more.  I have used Novolog with better results.  I have switched doctors and hope to go to a different injector pen to keep me of a pump."


"I also had a horrible time getting it down.  Don't know how I will drink the second one. And the warning as too how long I would sit on the commode...ENOUGH"


"10 pound weight gain that I have not been able to lose.  Excellent with lowering my blood pressure."


"Had my colonoscopy on Thursday and the Suprep really did it's job.  I had never used this prep before so went to the site to read patient's reviews.  Have to say after reading many of them I wanted to change my mind.  Started my prep Wednesday late afternoon.  I did not find the taste unbearable--I have paid for drinks that taste worse.  I did chill the solution and mixed it with cold water. I finished it in about 5 gulps--sucking on a lemon wedge in between, the lemon takes the aftertaste away.  Finished the additional water in the next half hour.  I then walked around and it started to do it's thing in about 1/2 hour.  2nd dose finished up and was finished going in about 1 1/2 hours.  It did it's job!!"


"My acne erupted at 23 with moderate cystic acne. I took many topical and antibiotics for 2.5 years and experienced little impact on my facial acne and developed gut issues from antibiotic use. Anyway, I've been on clarvis for nearly 2 months now, first 80mg (dry skin, lips, severe joint pain and fatigue) dermatologist reduced to 60mg daily for second month (dry lips, slight joint pain, conjunctivitis in both eyes). I have had a noticeable slowing in my acne lesions although the pitted scarring seems to be here for good. I look forward to the 6 month result and plan to stick with it! Make sure you take care of your eyes with artificial tears daily, my double eye infection is still healing after 3 weeks. Good luck you guys!!"


"At first, the medication was very effective. Reflux and pain stopped almost at once. Was on lansoprazole for 18 months, for GERD and a hiatus hernia. Small side effects (visual disturbance, vertigo, tiredness) not a problem. BUT, after 1 yr, started to have terrible diarrhea, thin yellow and of sudden onset. Almost amounted to incontinence, at any time night or day.  The tiredness became unacceptable. Eventually, I decided to come off the lansoprazole, for 2 weeks suffered bad recurrence of GERD. However, persevered (with help of Gaviscon) and after 2-3 weeks am now completely normal, no reflux, no pain. Have been great now for 3 months, far more energy, Would recommend a 'break' from the medicine to see if you can manage."


"I am in my 30's and have been taking Adderall XR for three months.  Seriously what a difference I have seen in my life!  My mind is 100% more clear and I am so much more level headed and organized.  I wish I had gone to the doctor years ago for my ADHD, instead of just living with it. Now I am so happy to have the ability to control my thoughts and accomplish my goals.  I occasionally get insomnia, but I have had insomnia for most of my life.  I also have lost weight and didn't have much to lose, so I have to start eating even if I'm not hungry.  No other side effects for me."


"I take a small dosage as needed and it's very helpful in keeping my anxiety under control."


"I enjoy sport fishing. most of the time about 3 to 4 days out at sea on a 30footer boat which could rocks severally during storms. to help myself from being seasick/motion-sickness I frequently take 1 NOVOMIT pill every 8-9 hourly. I am in my mid 40s and I felt the pills do really help. it would cost abt USD$4 per box/8pills from pharmacy. hope these information is useful."


"Well I've been on sprintec for two months now. The first two weeks were ok then after that I noticed I was throwing up anything I ate or just the greasy foods. I don't feel like eating. I've lost my appetite for almost everything, I would go a whole day not eating and wouldn't notice til night time, now I'm just eating two to three smaller portions or food a day. I have already lost 10 pounds from this (I was 140 now I'm 130lbs) its been regulating my monthly cycle pretty good so far. The only bad thing is the nauseated feelings everyday and loss of appetite but the weight loss is pretty good :)"


"If you're a teen like me and you were bein stupid and didn't use protection you're probably terrified. I was too. Plan b works 100%. Don't stress it. You will get your period. Stressing with make it late. I took plan b an hour after the occurance and got my period 9 days later. Use protection. Be careful but if you're not. This is a great back up plan for a mistake. You'll be okay. Take it with ginger ale though because it makes you have a bad tummy ache. Better than being pregnant."


"I am 52 years old and have struggled with chronic high blood pressure for about 6 years.  I have used Exforge as a supplement blood pressure medication for about 2 years.  At the dosage of 10/160 mg, I did experience some swelling and weight gain, but it was manageable.  However, after recently (45 days ago) being increased to 10/320mg dosage, I immediately developed a almost constant dry unproductive and painful cough, very sore throat, sinus problems, some additional swelling, and unprecedented tiredness.  I will stop taking this medication due to the uncontrollable coughing, sore throat and resulting headache.  The higher dosage did assist in dropping my lower number, but the side effects are too excessive.  I will seek other alternatives."


"I have taken Dramamine every day of my adult
Life. I have suffered from motion sickness my entire life and it is not unusual for me to become motion sick from working on the computer if I haven't taken a Dramamine yet. I recently noticed yellowing of my skin and eyes. My doctor Ordered blood work and I was diagnosed with Hepatitis A. there is no reason I would have contracted hepatitis. Is there a correlation with Dramamine?"


"I started on uloric due to having an allergic reaction to allopurinol. Well the 2nd day on it I broke out in a small rash not very noticeable and the 3rd day I have a burning painful rash all over my body!!! My face started swelling and the slightest touch feels like someone is ripping my skin. I was told to stop immediately and now it's the wait game for the reaction to go away now :-("


"My experience on Loestrin was terrible. My anxiety was through the roof, I had so many panic attacks, I didn't feel like I was myself the 9 months I was on it. It was an effective birth control, but it made my mind not okay. I told my doctor that I hated the way it made me feel and he switched me to Yaz. It took me a little while to realize how amazing I was doing on it. I don't suggest Loestrin to anyone."


"I have been on AndroGel for two months now and I can say this is the best I have felt in the last 5 years. I feel like I am 20 years old again. Not 53 anymore. My T count was at 101 I had no drive what so ever. Now 2 months on AndroGel and I am up to 780 count and still going up. Better body tone more muscle mass belly fat going away. I have lost over 15 lbs in 2 months. And I have more engery than I know  what to do with..And the wife has no complaints what so ever."


"The medicine helped tremendously with my paranoid.  However, I had insomnia and gained 45 pounds the six months I was on the medication.  For health risks, I had to be taken off the medication."


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


"Have used Multaq for almost 2 years. No side effects. I have noticed life is good (normal. Thank you Multaq."


"I'm on day 3 and have 101.8 fever, no appetite, extremely fatigued, and I think I have the chills (it's mid summer and I'm in bed wearing pants, socks, and under a sheet and 2 thin blankets while the thermostat reads 78). Saw two doctors: obgyn and gastroenterologist... my symptoms indicate I have either Chlamydia or an irritable bowel disease, like Chron's. Chlamydia test results come in tomorrow and then a colonoscopy in a few weeks."


"I NEVER take time out of my day to write reviews on products however I felt it was necessary for this.  Overall I am extremely unhappy with Zarah.  I am not sexually active therefore I took it more for my acne.  Before Zarah I was on Ocella which I LOVED but had to switch due to location purposes.  Ocella cleared my face up and did not give me any mood swings.  However, once I started Zarah I broke out SO bad on my chin and forehead, Its been about three weeks since I stopped and I am still suffering from acne.  If you are taking this pill merely just for acne, DO NOT DO IT.  I also got awful mood swings.  I do not advise."


"This is hands down the best cough medicine I've ever taken.  I had a cough so severe that I wet myself or threw up during uncontrollable coughing fits.  Needless to say, I couldn't sleep at night for more than the few hours when I just passed out from total exhaustion.  My first dose of Tussionex didn't totally get rid of the cough, but it did cut it by about 50%. The second dose helped more. My third dose was last night, and it made it possible for me to get a good night's sleep for the first time in two weeks. I did wake up once with a bad headache, but I can't tell if it's a side effect of the medicine or just part of being sick. Anyway, I'll trade a headache for vomiting from coughing fits any day."


"First of all I would like to say. The taste is SOUR! It is like drinking sour patch kids that are liquefied. Pucker up baby and drink! I think that was the worst part. I read reviews that said to refrigerate it over night. I did. Honestly I think the coldness made it harder to drink. I let it sit out for awhile and drink the other half at room temperature and it was so much easier. It made me cramp up a lot to start off with and somewhat nauseous. I went to my doctor yesterday, blocked up  for a week. Every week only going once a week but in pain so he told me to try this out as well as a blood test and x ray. It made me really feel more pressure to go but first when I started to push. Time went by and made great bowl movements."


"Controls my blood pressure but gives me stomach pain. Used to take 160 MG, had pain now I take 320/12.5 and I have terrible pains in my center and upper stomach. I am asking the doctor to try another pill. Can'tr take it any more!"


"I just started taking Latuda, and have found it makes me very sleepy, I'm wondering if I should take it at night instead of the morning.   I was on Wellbutrin but had to be taken off because of extreme anxiety and emotionality."


"After significant weight gain on depo and the Implant I told my doctor how I'm sensitive to hormones more specifically  progesterone. So this pill is considered low dose and is a mixture of progesterone and estrogen I decided tried it. Love the perks of clear skin and 15 pounds down in 5 months. Cons- nausea after placebo week, dark inner thighs, mild depression, and random head aches. Although I can't say there is a direct correlation between depression, head aches and the pill. Open to try extra low dose and see how it works for me. Positives out weight negatives at this point."


"Cipro is great! It can't be beat! If my name was Cipro, that would be neat!
Clearing up the kidney infection I've had finally. I did injure my back while on it though, which is a possible side effect and it makes me feel like bad but the kidney infection is finally going away."


"I am 49 years old & my skin NEVER broke out during puberty.  When I was in my mid 30's, it hit me slowly and then real bad about 3 years ago.   At first, antibiotics & Spirnolactone worked fine, then last year my body stopped responding to that treatment.

That is when I started on Amnesteem.   Aside from the initial pain in the neck of filing  with the Federal Government to ensure I wouldn't get pregnant, I was excited to try it.

The first month, my skin got really oily & broke out more, but my doctor said that  happens.   I am on my 5th month of treatment now, and my skin is almost clear.

My only complaint is joint pain - I feel like I am 30 years older than I really am & I eat Tylenol like candy, yet I am told that will also subside."


"I am using Kerydin for a year now. It has somewhat improved. For the cost of Kerydin, this medication is not satisfactory but rather an absolute rip off"


"This medicine has worked wonders on my chronic back pain. I have tried everything from Tramadol to Opana ER and for the price Roxicodone 30mg tops them all if taken as prescribed, and at the same time each day. The only downfall is that you must take the pills more frequently than say MS Contin or Oxycontin where you only need them every 12 hours. However that was my main problem with the Opana, Oxycontin, Etc., they didn't seem to last the full 12 hours as advertised. I was lucky if I got a good 8 hours from them."


"When I first started taking them for severe anxiety I thought it was sugar pills. I then learned to use them before my attack hit and it prevented the anxiety from coming as strongly but it makes me drowsy and makes it difficult to go to school. I want the anxiety to stop but not at the price of my education."


"False-positive urine immunoassay screening tests for amphetamines have been reported in patients taking bupropion (the active ingredient contained in Wellbutrin SR).
This happened to me with the birth of our second child.  Our daughter tested positive for amphetamines.  Child Services were called and we had to prove our own innocents!  The nurse reporting the "problem"  told us that they knew that Wellbutrin SR could cause this result but according to the law we were still reported.  "


"I started this medication via a sample pack about two months ago.  I went up to 20mg.  My Doctor thought that I should stay on it longer even though I felt it was doing nothing for me.  Now, after two months I have started having lower abdominal pain which turns into discomfort and pain again.  My bowels are all over the chart from the diarrhea to very slight constipation.  There is no rhyme or reason.  I also now have very uncomfortable boating.  I have a feeling of fullness in my lower abdomen, and had an ultra sound done by my OBGYN to se if I was having issues with my ovaries or uterus and that came back clean and clear.  I also have random nausea.  Sometimes early in the day, other times later on at night."


"400mg life saver for normal flare ups but not strong enough for bad attacks. Good when used in conjunction with Topamax"


"I have  been using AndroGel for almost 6 months.  Then, I had a Testosterone reading of 45.  Now, I am over 700 and feel much better about many things, including sex drive and desire as well as general outlook on life.  I do have VERY tender nipples and find that somewhat annoying, but I am hoping that will subside."


"It made me super restless without Cogentin, and also VERY hungry. I was always wanting to eat. However, it helped my psychosis and gave me good sleep. I only got off of it because it made me start lactating."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 12 years ago. Since then it has robbed me of much of my life. It took my social life away. I could no longer work. Basically I just learned to manage the pain everyday. I tried Lyrica but couldn't tolerate the nightmares. Then I tried Savella. First days were great at low doses. Then with increased dosage the side effects were nausea and vomiting, but I transitioned back to a lower dosage (total of 25 mg daily) and that helped.  I am exercising again and feel that I am getting my life back thanks to Savella. Try to get through the adjustment phase of the medication and it could make a huge difference in your life."


"I have been taking Oxycodone 10mg 4x daily this would help with my neck pain but never take away the pain completely. When I was prescribed Soma pain gone and reduced my pain medicine to almost none. This in my opinion is a great medicine.  I never had any side effects like the Oxy which made me really constipated."


"I had the Implanon inserted in January. No weight gain or mood swings. The only thing I do not like is my period which I have been on for about 5 weeks now. Wonder if it's ever going to stop. Other than that I'm fine. And I will not be taking this out any time soon because I hated the pills and the Depo shot and besides I'm not trying to have another child anytime soon."


"I'm on my second Implanon. My first one went fairly well. I spotted really lightly for 6 months and then I got a terrible period for 7 days. After that I didn't have a period for 4 years. Now all of a sudden for the past 2 months I've been getting my period every 1.5-3 weeks. It's light, but very random and hard to keep track of.  I give this birth control an 8 because for the majority of my time on it, it did the job. I didn't gain weight. I only experienced slight acne. And for the most part my mood and sex drive had no change."


"I smoked 1-1/2 packs of Cigarettes daily for 25+ years. I tried the patches, cold turkey, couldn't quit for long. I started using Nicorette gum 3-years ago and have been smoke free. I am still chewing the gum. 4-mg's multiple times daily. I told my Dr. I was still chewing the gum and was worried about the health effects. She told me studies have been done finding that nicotine in and of itself does not seem to cause significant harm. (I know, that seems strange to me too) Despite these findings she told me not to worry about the gum because smoking cigarettes with all the extra poisons in it is far worse for ones health. Especially in my case because I know I'd go back to smoking without the gum"


"I had my first Prolia shot in August, 2017 and have had no ill effects from it.  I do not know if it is doing the job, but at least, I am feeling great !!"


"I have tried everything - way too much otc medicines and several prescriptions which wouldn't touch the headache This drug is a miracle. Knocks out what would be a debilitating migraine in 30 to 60 minutes. I can even go back to work once it kicks in. I'm worried because I'm entering menopause and they recommend not taking it due to heart worries once you hit menopause, but I don't want to go back to the dark days where migraines would keep me in a dark room in bed for an entire day.  Side effects are a sore throat/painful swallowing and increased urination, but it is a small price to pay for relief."


"I smoked for a long time and tried quitting so many times but really did not have much luck on my own. I could tell some tales about trying to quit. My husband bought the patch for me to try and I was really impressed by the fact that I really did not feel the need to smoke a cigarette. That went on for about 17days. I then noticed that my eyes were very red all day so much so that I could see the small vessels in my eyes distended. Then one evening where I put the patch on my upper thigh (was running out of available spots) began itching more than usual. When the patch was removed the spot was swollen and very red and it stung and was painful. My doctor has stopped me from any further use and diagnosed that I may be allergic to the adhesive."


"I absolutely LOVE Paragard! I talk about it every time birth control comes up in a conversation. I wish I could prove to you all that I'm a real person cause I love it so much! I did a lot of research before hand. I really like that it was non hormonal cause I had been on two other hormonal types and my body reacted weird both times. I saw saw videos on Youtube of women talking about the insertion process and how it really hurt so I was nervous but mine didn't necessarily hurt it just made me feel like puking a bit until the insertion was over. I did feel pukey off and on for a while but after only 2 months my cramps are back to normal! Thank you whoever invented this!"


"So far so Great! I can't believe I found something that works for me! I'm 51 years old I have been over weight for 17 years! I was always able to control my weight before with weight watcher and Exercise but the pounds kept coming on! I got up to 250 and now I am down to 228 in 2 months!! What I can't believe is this is with no Exercise but I have Lots of energy! I do have some side effects with the biggest being insomnia so sometimes I'll skip a dose if I think I haven't been getting enough sleep and that helps some.. But the biggest part is the Energy and working all day without a nap or feeling tired! I don't want to go off it until I get to my goal weight how long can I stay on this medicine? I heard 3 months but that kinda scares me."


"I am prone to terrible and traumatizing panic attacks. I was afraid one was going to happen on an airplane, so I dreaded an upcoming flight for months. On the day of the flight, I took a 0.5 pill and felt all of my anxiety wash away. Took another pill at the gate before boarding and had the most calm flight of my life with essentially no notable anxiety. This medication has allowed me to no longer be a prisoner of my panic. It's really changed my life."


"Good for preventing pregnancy and clearing up Skin. But it does make some women gain water weight. I gained 20 lbs on it and rapidly lost it in a month when I switched to another brand. So make sure you notice how it affects your body while on it. To me the weight gain was not worth it."


"I took Alesse for a couple of years and liked it so well that I stopped taking oral contraceptives entirely when it went off the market. But for the sake of convenience I wanted to start again, and I assumed that inexpensive Aviane, the generic for Alesse, would be the same. Either it isn't or my body chemistry has changed. I've felt some occasional mood swings, but worse, my periods last for at least a week, and mid-cycle, my breasts are so tender and sore that I can't stand to go running. I think it's time to switch."


"I absolutely love this medicine. It works wonders for my small spots of plaque psoriasis on my body. I also have scalp psoriasis which I also treat with Taclonex. I use it mainly around my hair line because it makes my hair very greasy and oily looking. This is the only ointment type of topical medication I have been prescribed that legitimately works. I was diagnosed with psoriasis at the age of 3 and am now 16 and have been using this for about 3 years now. I find that there aren't really any side effects that I can think of. If I routinely apply this every night before I go to bed, my psoriasis will disappear within a week and stay gone or come back in about two weeks without applying it."


"I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy, cataplexy, and fibromyalgia. I was on Provigil and Adderall, and still falling asleep. Doc started me on 2.5 mg twice a night. I was sleeping. At night only! I am on 3.0 mg now, and still taking the Adderall during the day. I am not falling asleep at work, and my cataplexy and  hallucinations are almost nonexistent! I still get tired pretty early on in the evening, but I was starting to worry about my ability to continue working. It also seems to be helping with the pain. I get nauseous sometimes during the day, but have found that it's because I need to drink some water or eat something. I feel like the old me again. I just hope the insurance doesn't decide not to cover it."

"When I started taking it 4 months ago I was a beautiful and happy 41 yr old.  Now, I have horrible cystic acne, I cry nonstop and I've had some type of bleeding at least 70 of the last 90 days. Technically, it has not decreased my libido, but who wants to have sex when you are feeling the above? I can't wait to see my doctor next week and come up with another option! For me I think it will need to be non-hormonal."

"I'm not sure if it is just me or not but I had a terrible experience on this pill. I didn't even finish my first pack and I had to quit taking it. I got terrible migraines every single day and it would make me sick to my stomach. It also made me completely crazy. The smallest things would set me off. The day after I stopped taking the pill my migraines disappeared and my moods were back in check."


"Back story, I was on the mirena for 5 years and got off of it in Early 2017 (my body has already been used to the hormone in the morning after pill) I had taken the morning after pill about 16 hours after unprotected sex with someone I didn't know. The last 2 weeks of my life have been horrible. I had no initial symptoms of the pill until about a week after taking it. i track my periods using EVE. And it was during my most fertile day that I had sex. Which made me panic 10 times more. I felt sick 24-7. I even threw up. My period came 2 days late. And I'm still on it. It's much lighter than I'm used to and the cramps are horrible. The moral of the story is. Don't panic. Listen to your body. Every thing will be fine. The pill did work."


"I got Implanon in December 8, 2010, I had a light period on the 30th to the 4th of January. And I haven't had a period since. I love this birth control. It's great for me. I have had some spotting about twice, and discharge since inserted. And the process of insertion, was painless. A little sting when inserting the numbing stuff. But besides that it was fine. I would HIGHLY recommend this."


"Several years ago I was Diagnosed with Crohn's disease and long story short got hooked on pain killers. Anyway I decided that I hated being dependent on the pills, mainly was just on Vicoden. I've been on Subutex for a few years now and have little to no side effects other than I get HOT very fast. I want to add something important. I used to take maybe 3-4 Vicodens 3 times a day. Sometimes a little bit more (like 1 or 2). I was so desperate for relief because I was in withdrawal and was told about Suboxone. "


"I am taking Xarelto for a small PE (rt. lower lobe) detected upon battery of testing for origin of a "black out" I experienced.  (The PE just happened to be detected and is considered not to be the source of blackout.) So, I am sensitive to drugs, in general.
I am on the 2nd week or so of 1/day of 30mg.  I experience bizarre dreams and seem to be in a light sleep.  I have insomnia w/ the drug.  I also feel "whacked out", post even 20 hrs. after ingesting it.  In essence, I KNOW that I have taken a drug.  I sometimes have to take a nap; I feel better after doing this.  I am hoping that my body acclimates to X, but am realistic.  I am also hoping/praying that I only have to be on X for 6 mos.  I know that there are alternatives."


"I was on lo loestrin fe then had to get off for a month because of health insurance mishap.  I got on Sprintec because it is so much cheaper and it is SO much better!  I have a history with depression and this has not caused any problem at all.  In fact I've not even had a headache or any stomach pain.  I highly recommend this."


"I started taking Sarafem for my severe PMS about 2 months ago and am SHOCKED at how well it has worked for me!  I take it for about 7 days before my cycle - the same week that normally I would be paralyzed with anxiety and absurd thoughts due to my PMS.  The Sarafem worked the first day.  What is also odd is the rest of the month was even better, even though I wasn't taking anything.  The 15mg was a little too much for me -- I was WAY TOO HAPPY --- but splitting it in half is perfect."


"Just had my 2nd injection in the 5 part series. I noticed a major difference 7 days after the 1st injection.  I was almost 100% back to myself before the ACL and Menicus tears and the knee microfracture surgery!! I highly recommend the Supartz!! Excited to see how long I will be pain free after the 5th injection!! Hopefully it will last a few years!!"


"I've had Nexplanon since 2011, and I love it! I haven't had any major problems from the implant.

Pros:

Most effective contraceptive

I don't have to worry about taking it (for ~3 years)

Cons:

I get ovarian cysts from time to time that can be bothersome, but they always regress on their own.

Irregular periods. I never know when I will get my period. Sometimes I won't have it for months at a time, but not knowing when I might get my period doesn't bother me much. I just keep a tampon in my purse.

I highly recommend Nexplanon and will be getting my 3rd put in next year when it's time to remove this one."


"Hypertension under control hours after taking medicine only for  3 -4 days. So far so good!"


"For migraine pain = BEST = obliterates an attack.
Side effects = Severe = dizzy and sedated, tolerance develops rapidly with any repetitious use. I take Stadol to abort only the most severe migraine attacks, about 10 doses per year.

I can take it, but only if I have absolutely NO responsibilities for the 4 following hours.  Stadol has helped me avoid a trip to the ER numerous times. It's one of those "break glass in case of emergency" type medicines, for me.  It works EXTREMELY fast, starting in less than 2 minutes."


"Works great and fast"


"I have generalized anxiety, few panic attacks ever, mostly just obsessive irrational thoughts and constant fears which aren't normal. This definitely helps me calm down and keeps my brain quiet when it normally never stops. For about 2 weeks I would get spouts of dizziness, along with a feeling of restlessness and an inability to focus (felt very much like ADD) but it has been going away! This medicine helps for general anxiety, but I don't think it would do much for panic. I take 5mg 3x a day."


"I have been taking Prozac for a little over a year. I started out taking 20mgs then, switched to 40mgs 2 months after I starting taking it. It helped me with the feelings of worthlessness, feeling like a failure and my thoughts of taking myself out of the pain. I finally saw a mental health Dr who diagnosed me with severe depression and increased my dosage to 60 mgs a day. I feel much better and the little things don't send me over the edge like they used to. I do have side effects such as dry mouth, always tired, increased/decreased appetite and recently diagnosed with lichenoid dermatitis. My Dermatologist is encouraging my dr to change my psych meds. I am unsure on that; the Prozac has helped me to want to live."


"Cephalexin might be one of the best antibiotics I have ever taken. I was prescribed 500mg 3x a day for 7 days for an infected lymph node (? The doc didn't really explain, but the lymph node in my groin was swollen to the size of a grape and SO painful I could barely walk. He said it was abcessed)  By the 5th dose, almost all of the pain had subsided, swelling was down and I had ZERO side effects.  Usually I am very sensitive to antibiotics so I was sure to take the pills on a full stomach.  I also get nervous taking any type of medication because of the potential stomach upsets, as I am absolutely terrified of throwing up. But, currently on day 4 - No complaints what so ever.  Very happy with how it is working so far :)"


"I started Cymbalta about 3 months ago for depression.  At 30 mg I was fine.  We increased.  They are worse than when I was going through menopause.  My body is hot all the time.  My feet are always hot and sweat.  I don't want to stop the Cymbalta because it has had such a dramatic effect with the depression.  I feel like me again mentally.    I don't think these are listed as side effects. "


"I was on isotretinoin for 7 months at the age of 15-16.. I had moderate acne and it worked within 5 months and completely cleared my face up... I've now been off the treatment for 6 months and my acnes slowly creeping back. My skin looks oily again. It's good but it doesn't cure it, more like masks it for a short period of time."


"I started taking adderall in 2012 to 2015 with a 15 month break in 2014 due pregnancy and breastfeeding. I was diagnosed with ADD as a child but held off on taking medication until I was 26. Adderall immediately helped with focus and even energy and motivation. I excelled at work and finally was able to complete tasks instead of starting them and trailing off to something else. In 2015 when I discontinued adderall, I was taking a pretty high prescribed dose of 30mg twice a day. I started noticing the cons of the come downs were outweighing the pros of when the medication was working. I had anxiety, irritability and extreme fatigue. They switched me to dex which was much smoother but has increased my BP. I try Vyvanse tomorrow."


"Insurance changed and had to switch over from microgestin. I was on microgestin for 2 years with no problems or symptoms at all. Only a week into the new pills I started experiencing awful nausea and bloating. The stomach knots were non stop and for being a person who is rarely emotional, I have never cried more. Hormones were out of control, definitely don't recommend this birth control."


"Well I bought sudafed blocked nose capsules..my nose was blocked I could hardly breathe amongst other symptoms like flu fever sickness n high temperature. Anyway the thing that was bothering me the most was my blocked nose so I bought these sudufed capsules and it was the best thing I done I took one straight away when I bought them and thought at first they didn't work but as I continued to use them as stated on the packet the sure worked and made it so much easier to breathe so thank you I would definitely 100% recommend these brilliant product so thank you x"


"I have been on Butrans for about a week. Dealing with pain in my lower back for 25 years. Have received epidural shots in my L5 S1 area to no help. Was referred to a pain clinic. Was given a script for Butran 5mcg/1 hour. For the first time in 25 years I've had no pain. This has been a god send. No side effects no anything. I keep waiting for the pain to come back and it does not. I actually sleep now, can do more activities around the house then I could before, I'm not cranky anymore because of being in pain. So far no break through pain. Hope I don't get that. All I can say is YIPEE I'm pain free."


"Been taking belviq for 3-4 weeks. Side affects were mild headache,fatigue and sneezing in the 3rd week but now subsided for the most part.  I am though a little tired at the end of day and sleep well at night. I'm assuming the longer you take it the more your body gets used to it. I have lost 15 lbs so far. I have cut my portions to almost half. Still eating much of what I like but less. Also notice  that I have made some new healthy choices. I plan to start exercising this week as well, by walking regularly until I can jog comfortably.  I know there is no perfect pill that's not going to have side affects so if there's a little discomfort in the short term for long term gains I'm in. I truly belviq will help me achieve my long term goal."


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


"I started on Zoloft due to a number of losses-deaths in family & a breakup. While they say it may take weeks to fully enter your system, I would say for me it took a few days to feel it. Mine was a lower dosage, 25mg I believe but it still worked well enough to jump-start my life again. I would no longer dwell on the negative things, however sometimes it was equally hard to concentrate on important things, as my mind would go "spacy" on occasion. Slight dry mouth at first but it went away. I became more social and dated more. The downside- while interest in sex never waned, it would take a long time to perform. You would THINK that would be a good thing, but after 20 minutes, most ladies started glancing at the clock. So much for dating!"


"Busy mum."


"I have been on Sprintec for a month now. The first week was fine but starting the second week I got my period and it still has not gone away I have been on my period now for 20 days it is miserable. Alongside this I have been bloated, cramping, my skin has broken out, and my moods have been horrible. This pill was not the right choice for me it has poorly affected my quality of life. I recommend sharing a concern like this with your doctor as I never expected to have such a problem."


"Someone who has never experienced a full scale panic attack has no idea how incredibly bad it is. I don't know what it's going to feel like to die, but I'm betting it won't be a lot different from a panic attack. It feels like every part of my body is shutting down, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.  I would do ANYTHING to keep it from happening again. The only medicine my family doctor will prescribe is lorazepam because its slower onset makes it less attractive for abuse than what you get from Valium or Xanax.
I only take it when I feel an attack is about to happen. In my experience the onset of relief is about an hour from a 1 mg dosing. The relief is incredible, and I seldom need a 2nd dose. No euphoria,  just feel normal."


"I have bipolar, obsessive compulsive disorder, severe anxiety, panic attacks and I cannot shut my mind off without Seroquel. I take 800mg at bedtime and cannot sleep without it."


"I started taking this to prevent pregnancy, since I have light, painless periods and no acne. Even after a year, I had acne breakouts every month, significant cramping on my periods, loss of appetite, nausea, and mood swings/suicidal thoughts during my PMS week. I decided to switch after I kept waking up in the middle of the night with severe stomach pain. I'm sure it works fine for some women and it did prevent pregnancy, but the side effects weren't worth it."


"I started Latuda about a month ago. Its hard to know if is truly working because I am trying to come off of 300 mg of Seroquel. Whoever wrote Latuda made them restless, this happened to me too so my doctor gave me Cogentin and it worked. I'm still hungry all the time but once I'm off Seroquel I shouldn't be. I also take Vyvanse, Lorazepam, Restoril, and Keppra which is for my seizure disorder. I say Latuda is an 8 so far my paranoia is gone."


"I started taking this medicine when I was 24 years old for social anxiety. I hated meeting new people, felt intimidated easily, threw up on my first day of every new school semester and my mind was always racing. I was constantly thinking of scenarios in my head to prepare myself for whatever may come next. Started on 10mg then 20mg. The first night I experienced numbing in my left hand. In the following days I was having a hard time falling asleep, yawning whether I was tired or not, and for the longest time my jaw was always clenched. I also had a loss of appetite. Lost weight at first. Sex drive was terrible and say bye to orgasms for awhile. Now after a year, I feel human and no side effects at all! I have much more confidence!"


"This is to all the girls out there who are like me, thinking the worst and are worried sick about the possibility of being pregnant. I am here to assure you that this pill really works! I was in a really bad situation. A friend and I were both drunk and couldn't remember if a condom was in the picture or not. Just to be safe I took plan b 9 hours after unprotected sex. I was really depressed for a couple days, got a yeast infection, had minor cramps, and diarrhea but still no period. Finally, after 6 negative pregnancy tests and 5 days of being late, I got my period. This pill will really screw up your cycle. So DO NOT worry if you are late! Relax, keep yourself busy, and go eat some chocolate because this pill will take care of everything!"


"I've been prescribed 200 mg of zoloft daily and I think thats excessively too much - any opinions? I'm also on 2mg xanax 4 times a daily for panic attacks which works well. I was on Ativan 2mg 3 of them for night terrors  which worked well but they took them off me and gave me 200 mg of  zoloft! I was always told 100 mg was a max on zoloft  but the nurse practitioner seems to know more than my doc cause he was out and she was filling in! So next month I'm getting my ativan back and going back to 100 mg of zoloft."


"Had an endoscopy and colonoscopy this morning (26/6/16) and took the movieprep yesterday as part of the process.

I actually found it acceptable ( miles better than a barium meal) but was helped I think by these factors which I certainly think would help others.

1) i didnt eat at all the day before I took the movieprep( 2 days before the colonoscopy)

2) I took the movieprep at home in a quiet environment under my own steam

3) i made the movieprep 2 hours before drinking and placed it in the fridge to chill before drinking over the following 2 hours

4) i used a straw to drink the movieprep

5) I heavily flavoured the drink with lime juice

Good luck if you go through this process but I found it better than expected"


"The only way to combat acne is from the interior. All those soaps and cleansers don't work. Acne is just a bad genetic trait, so you cannot just put a cream on. You must take a pill to fight the problem from within."


"Sooooo.....I usually get a yeast infection after I take antibiotics, about once a year... I usually take Diflucan but my Husband is between job and we have no health insurance right now. So I thought no biggie, just got buy some OTC stuff... The first night it burned for about 30 minutes but eventually went away. The second night(right now) wow my vagina is itching so bad I can't barely stand it! I feel somewhat better knowing I'm not the only one this is happening to but c'mon!! The things us women have to go thru! Needless to say I am scared to use it tomorrow night! Ughhhh"


"I've been on Ortho Tri Cyclin for about 12 months and my skin has been flawless. I love how it's cleared up my acne but I'm having major breakthrough bleeding at the moment. I missed 2 pills about 2 weeks ago and I have since then been bleeding continuously and i'm just about to go on my placebo pills, so after i'm finished with this pack it will be about 3 weeks with constant bleeding and it's terrible. Even when I didn't miss any pills I would have breakthrough bleeding the week before I started my placebo pills and it would drive me nuts. Saw my doctor and i'm going to try out another acne birth control, Yasmin so hopefully all goes well...."


"I have been taking this BC for 2 years now and have had a very good experience. My periods are pretty much gone and when I do have them they are very short and light. I have no gained any weight from this BC or noticed anything off mentally however I do feel very tired a lot (but I'm not sure this is due to the BC). The only thing that I would say is my breast are tender all the time (which doesn't really bother me)."


"I've been on Nuvigil for 4 years and it's stopped being as effective.  I'm currently on 125 mg twice a day, and 37.5 mg Adipex twice a day. The Adipex has absolutely helped my weight (down 14 lbs in 15 days, 40lbs to go) but not much help with the wakefulness.  I'm falling asleep in the afternoon and driving is a nightmare.

It takes A LOT for insurance to cover.  Without all the hoops my doctor has agreed to jump through, it would be $685 per month."


"I've seen a lot of negative comments and I want to share mine to show people you can have a positive experience with Nexplanon. I got my implant December 2013 and am coming up on my 3 year mark. For the first couple of months on Nexplanon I had irregular periods, some lasting over 2 weeks at a time. Needless to say it was awful. However, after those two months, I stopped getting a period. I have experienced no side effects since then and have been absolutely satisfied with my birth control. I've read that a lot of people gained weight, but I actually lost over 15 pounds since being on Nexplanon. Obviously every person has a different reaction to birth control, but overall my experience has been amazing and I wouldn't choose anything else"


"I just get real moody and depress sometimes if this helps anyone I dont have to worry about and its very effective I LOVE MY DOCTOR"


"I find since taking Bentyl 10mg twice a day, I have a very salty taste in my mouth and I salivate more. Even though a side effect is dry mouth."


"I have a ruptured disc in my back (L5,S1) with my disk touching the sciatic nerve giving me excruciating pain, and before this my doctors had me on hydrocodone, Flexeril, and naproxen. This was no relief for me, the pain literally had me in tears at work and at all times of the day. There were days I wouldn't be able to sleep because of the pain. My lovely girlfriend told me to ask my primary about this medicine and I am so happy. I was at a level 9 pain this morning and now I can be in any position I want without feeling the sciatic pain in my leg.  I have absolutely zero pain now and I am very very happy! I got my life back, I am still doing the epidural steroid shot this week because I would like my disc to heal faster."


"cool"


"OMG what have I done. I usually get YI and I did not want to wait 3 weeks to see a doctor, so I thought of monistat. Oh lord why didn't I just called plan parenthood. I'm not in pain , it's the burning and itching like I don't know what. I bought the 7 day and well tonight is my first and my last day. I have to work tomorrow so I hope this stuff goes away...I'm just itching and burning and wondering why the one the doctor prescribes don't burn and itch"


"I had many obnoxious but small bumps on my forehead this past summer. Along with that, the occasional large zit. I got put on veltin by my dermatologist, and began using it on august 3rd. At first I used it every other night on my whole face except my cheeks, and experienced a bit of dryness around my mouth, and overall redness. That subsided fairly quickly and I began to use it once a day at night, at least a half hour after showering and moisturizing to minimize stinging. Today is september 24, and my skin has been perfectly clear for two weeks! I have adjusted to the dryness, and my skin is very happy!"


"A great non sedating/non addictive muscle relaxer. Works much better than flexiril. No side effects for me."


"I was given Dexilant to treat my Barrett's and reflux/GERD. When I had my second EGD, two years later, the Barrett's was completely gone!
   Since I was still having problems with reflux during the night, my physician had me switch from taking Dexilant in the morning to taking it at bedtime. That helped me tremendously!
    In addition, I noticed some comments that mentioned the price of Dexilant. At this time, you can sign up for the Dexilant advantage program, which is what I did. With my insurance  and that discount card, I only pay $21. The card is good for one year, however, you can renew it as long as they are offering the program.
I hope this helps!"


"I've switched between different generic versions of Ortho tri cyclen, and this is not my favorite. I have terrible cystic acne, and it did help a LOT with that. But it did nothing at all for my periods. My periods without birth control caused me to be in a haze, nausea, vomiting, terrible cramping, and heavy bleeding. With Tri-Linyah, it was mostly the same! The other generic pills I tried at least eased my periods so that they were bearable. On Tri-Linyah I also didn't know what to expect, some periods would be longer, start at different times, or be lighter/heavier.
I'm not sure how different generic medications of the same type can really be, but I noticed this one was definitely different."


"Best results I've experienced in a long time!!!!"


"This medication saved my life! I had severe depression since the age of 12. I've been on Cymbalta, Celexa, Zoloft etc. Nothing worked. Was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. On several occasions tried to take my own life. The last time I nearly succeeded, was on a 72 hour hold. The Dr. proscribed Lamictal at a low dose of 25mg. Gradually increased in increments of 25mg. I'm now taking 150mg. at bedtime and I no longer have thoughts of suicide, hopelessness or despair. I've been taking Lamictal for 2yrs. now, and I can honestly say that I enjoy life for the first time. Don't give up on this medication as it takes time to work. For me, it was about 2 months. I didn't have any side effects, but everyone is different. Good luck and God Bless!"


"I've been on these for 6 months, I'm a very petite person and ever since I was 17 I've had crazy bad cramps and acne. I've tried a few different kinds of pills but the low- Ogestrel 28 pills made me sick, cramps never went away and even got worse. My acne got good within a few months but then got bad again. My sex dive has decreased and I hate that, it also has messed with my hormones and I'm already emotional so I'm ten times more upset when I don't need to be. I don't have a good appetite anymore and it making me more sick, also made me throw up when I take them to late. My period goes from 4 days to 2 days, then a week, its all over the place and I would like a steady cycle. so in all these pills are to over the place not really helpful."


"Started having panic attacks with anxiety about 6 months ago.  Started taking Inderal 20 mg - once in the morning. Noticed significant improvement the first day. This drug has been awesome for me!  Was also given Xanax at the same time but I only feel I need it occasionally."


"I have been taking Ritalin for about a month now. It really helps me focus on things. But a downfall is, it is really hard to multi-task. I can only concentrate on one thing at a time, and that makes it very difficult for my school work. Also, I have had a huge loss in appetite. I am not hungry, EVER. During the month I have been on this medicine I have lost almost twenty pounds due to the fact that I never want to eat."
