"I have been positive for 11 years but only  started taking complera a little over a year ago. Up until then my body did an excellent job keeping it under control. Despite all the drugs and hard living  I was doing I would say my side effects hit pretty hard I have been dealing with the most life-altering uncomfortable nausea that I couldn't even begin to explain. Everyday when I wake up sometimes I'm woken up out of my sleep with the nausea that is constant I tell my doctor about this and I feel like it my doctor is not taking me seriously I don't know if this is something that is something to be worried about or if it's normal butt it is seriously ruining my life it is making me consider stopping my meds and just dealing with AIDS"


"it doesn't treat urinary tract infections ."


"I had read a lot of negative reviews about Moviprep and was terrified of the stuff. In reality it was straight-forward to use, fairly palatable (better than soluble aspirin) and the results were not as unpleasant as my chronic IBS symptoms.

I recommend mixing the solution with a cordial (ginger worked well) and drinking through a straw. Do not take large mouthfuls of it.

The first dose might take between 3-4 hours to take effect. Don't worry - it will!

Just make sure you take the sedation for your procedure. I did not and it was incredibly painful. Curiously, for a few weeks after the Moviprep and colonoscopy I experienced no IBS symptoms - it has been 6 weeks now and they've returned, unfortunately."


"Gets you to sleep every time. Don't wake up throughout the night. No sleeping pill hangover effect. Never experienced any bad side effects."


"I've been on phentermine for two weeks, within the first week I lost 16 lbs without changing my diet or exercise routine. I'm about 5'8" and have a very athletic muscular build so I'm heavy anyways. I'm a size 12 weighing 211 as of last week but I can see a drastic change in my body, it's insane and a little scary how well this has worked!"


"Wow ladies!!!! All I have to say is "wow". This stuff seriously works. I'm 18 years old and I had sex with my boyfriend on the 22nd of January, and while he was pulling out, the condom stayed inside of me. We were worried about any leakage so I decided to take plan b about 18 hours later.  according to my period tracker it said that I was supposed to ovulate on the 21st so I started to freak out thinking I could've been ovulating while I took plan b. My side effects were very little but it did make more anxious about my period starting and a little bit more irritable than I usually am the week before my period. I was only a day late for my period and I could not be happier. This medicine is a lifesaver. Just sit back, relax, and don't stress"


"After using Ambien for about a week (I was desperate for sleep) I started to experience short term memory loss. I traveled to attend a workshop and could not recall or review much of the information just hours after."


"Works good to prevent pregnancy, BUT you might gain a lot of weight, I gain 70+ pounds, I just got it out a few months ago and now I’m down 40 pounds and I was SO MEAN , not worth it, trust me"


"I have found that Metrogel works wonders for me. It made a difference the first time I applied it! (Applied at night, woke up in the morning with noticeably clearer skin.)

It is recommended to use it twice a day but I just apply it once, at night (because it causes a filmy layer over the skin and I wouldn't want to go out in public like that!) and that seems to be enough for me."


"I've been on this birth control for about three weeks now, going into my second cycle. I so far have not experienced any side effects that I know of. The first week I had a few intense headaches, but there was also a major weather fluctuation where I live, so I can't say for sure what was the cause. Otherwise, no migraines, spotting, nausea, or muscle pain. I have actually been losing weight since I started the pill, but I would like to think it's my healthy lifestyle doing the work.
Contraceptive wise, still not pregnant, so that's fine.

For long term benefits risks i.e.: acne, hair loss I cannot say much. My skin is more or less the same. I have moderate to slight acne, so it may not even be hormonal. So far, so good."


"I started taking 20mg daily after losing my job, moving to a new house and town and my Mom was diagnosed with cancer.  It has been about 20 days and I am feeling better already.  Placebo effect or not I am handling the stresses of life much better.   I mainly chose to seek help because I was wrecking my relationship with my true love.  I lost my appetite for the first 2 weeks but it is coming back slowly. I have not experienced any side effects.  I recommend this medicine and I have never taken a prescription medicine for stress/anxiety or depression before. For those of you looking for some relief and calm- I say Do It.  It is definitely worth trying."


"I am a 24 year old male with high blood pressure. I started Amlodipine back in October 2014 and it did an excellent job to lower my pressure. I was perfectly fine taking 5 mg each day for the first several months. Then around June of 2015, I started getting pains in my upper left and right chests, headaches began to hit me, and I began to develop an anxiety problem. I am typing this review 3 days after I have now stopped taking Amlodipine. The past few weeks have been worse than a nightmare for me - my anxiety has reached severe levels, the pains in my upper chest, shoulders, and forearms was becoming unbearable, I've been continuously nauseous for nearly 2 weeks now, had high-pitched ringing in my ears, and was completely depersonalized."


"I only take prednisone in the bubble pack as a last resort. It does work effectively but, the short & long term side effects of the medication need the user to proceed with caution.

I have to use it for my chronic episodes of bronchitis & when my asthma gets too bad for just albuterol. Short term caused my liver function to go wonky. When i use a pred blister pack I usually gain 5-10lbs. It also causes sebaceous hyperplasia which look like raised whiteheads that never go away. If you go to a gym w/ steroid abusers you will see that they have whiteheads all over their back & face. That is s. Hyperplasia. You have to get it burnt or cut out of your skin to get rid of it.

If I didn't need it for my asthma i would never take it willingly."


"Thank you Celgene for creating such a wonderful medicine.  I have been using it for a year and it has really lessened the effects of my plaque psoriasis.  As an added benefit, it has helped me to lose weight, and I no long crave sweets!    It's an all-round wonderful thing!"


" I had unprotected sex and my partner did not pull out in time. I wasn't on birth control and it had been 3 days after my period ended. I took the pill about 2 hours after and panicked for a whole month. The side effects definitely got to me, I was nauseous for four days and experienced dizziness as well and lost my appetite. I thought I was pregnant for sure. Even though my period was a day late, it still arrived therefore the pill worked!! Worth the money."


"I got the shot last month to help with my endometriosis, I was on my period at the time, after my period stopped everything was fine but once I got my period things started to go down hill *not by much*, I started my period and it wasn't so heavy at first and my pain was gone but now I'm stuck on my period, I have been bleeding for over two weeks now and cramps come and go, my face broke out and hasn't stopped which is weird for me because it doesn't ever last this long. I'm really starting to think it's not worth it if I'm still on my period all the time because now I feel like I can't do much, like swimming or being crazy active, because I feel weak and just drained."


"Though never clinically depressed, I discovered the powerful side effect of tramadol while taking 150 mg/day for chronic sciatica.  The unrelenting pain was a real downer, but the tramadol reliably helped me maintain an optimistic, upbeat attitude.  During five years of taking it, I never had to increase the dosage for the desired effect.  The downside is that it often interfered with sleep so that I found a mid-day nap essential."


"I have been to AA and did not find it effective.  Please know, I respect anyone in the program.  I found myself craving MORE after meeting and found so many that attended drinking between meetings. I just didn't get it.  I have hidden my alcoholism, ashamed, a noticeable binge once a year or so (driving drunk, falling, bad decisions). I thought if I had a successful career and didn't go to jail I was "good at it".  WRONG.  I found a doctor I could trust and confided EVERYTHING.  He recommended antabuse. I was so scared, I felt like it was going to be a "crutch" and a complete lazy failure.  I am so grateful.  I feel like it gives me a "beat" in the decision to drink.  My "maybe I can drink" has turned into NO WAY!"


"Methadone is THE ONLY drug that handles my stenosis and osteoarthritis. I have been on it for 5 yrs. Dr had me up to 200mg/day at one point which, I admit, was too much. However lately the Drs around here are terrified of the newer FDA reports and want nothing to do with it. My GP lowered me to 30 mg/day and this IS INSUFFICIENT. He actually handed me off to a pain center that is 40 miles away and I can't drive due to eye problems. This is VERY hard on my wife and her job. The pain center pushed suboxone but, after much consideration and research, I decided against it. Suboxone apparently does nothing for the pain that is the root of the problem! I can usually be fine on 60mg/day but weather related breakthrough pain requires more maybe 3 or 4 days /month average. My Drs won't allow me to live my life. Anyone have any suggestions?"


"I was put on Topamax 2 months ago after a serious car accident that left me in a flare up of my fibromyalgia. I have not reacted well to medications in the past and have had serious reactions which lead to serious consequences to the other meds I was on. Topamax has been the only medication that I have been able to tolerate well. It does take a while for it to start working though and I have had a few side effects but none that I'm not willing to put up with and 2 of them have gone away since I have started the Topamax."


"I just started Loestrin about one month ago. Before I started taking it that I had no problems with acne. Most Recently about a 2 weeks ago I began having the worst breakout on my life cheeks, chin, forehead! I thought it was from my use of makeup but now that I have read these posts I definitely see it is from the pill."


"I was put on 2mg of generic Abilify (aripiprazole) in June 2016 for tics caused by Tourette Syndrome, and titrated to 5mg after about a month. At 5mg, this medicine worked for my tics quite well, but some of the common side effects I experienced after a few months on the medicine is weight gain, blood sugar spikes (I also have type 1 diabetes), and the inability to sit still (i.e. the need to always be doing something, because everything I once enjoyed now bored me). I would also add that this medication is very expensive. I was uninsured for a month, and the pharmacy charged me $864.00 for a 1-month supply of GENERIC aripiprazole, made in India; needless to say, I did not buy it. This medicine is also difficult to withdraw from; TAPER SLOW"


"I have been on 25mg 2x a day for a month now for weight control and as a mood stabilizer. When I started I weighed 235lbs and I am 5' and I have lost 11lbs. It makes it so I just don't want to eat as much. I feel full very quickly. I get thirsty very fast so I keep drinking a lot of water but that isn't a change for me. I have noticed that my feet and hands go numb but it is worth the weight loss. My vision is blurred a bit even with my glasses but nothing terrible. I'm hoping to keep going and continue with my weight loss."


"I have been on this birth control for 8 years!  I feel like the reviews are based on people that haven't given their body time to adjust to it.  On this pill I had no acne problems, no weight gain no crampy periods.  Generally, my periods would be 3-4 days long without pain sometimes would forget it was that time of the month.  So while on it this pill was great.  I recently almost 4 months ago got off due to how long I've been on it and hyper pigmentation on forehead and cheeks.  Now I feel my periods and gained 9 lbs.  Considering getting back on again.....especially since hyper pigmentation is pretty much gone."


"I've been on Suboxone/Subutex off-on the past 4 years. I would definitely say that these medicines are helpful, as far as preventing withdrawal and decreasing cravings. (No more daily drug seeking-such a relief:). However, it's been my experience that you can find yourself in another inappropriate relationship with these drugs if you aren't careful and really committed to your goal in recovery. It is imperative that we have strong support systems (family, friends, meetings, therapists) along with this medication. I was pretty much on my own, increasing my dosage and landed back into detox. Just started treatment again, ALONG WITH people that I'm accountable to, and things are good. Stay aware and you can do it!"


"I have only been in this birth control for almost a month. Immediately after the first few pills my breasts began to get very tender and they have definitely grown a bit. I'm having terrible stomach pains, bloating, nausea, I'm constantly sad. My acne got worse, but I haven't gained any weight. I've been spotting for about 2 days now, but I'm not supposed to starty period until next Friday. Hopefully all is well, and it's just my body getting used to the hormones. However, if these symptoms do not clear up within the next month, I'm going to try to switch or just stay off of the pill. I'm going insane due to the fact that I feel like I'm pregnant, but I'm hoping it's just the birth control side effects."


"I researched OTC medicines for urinary tract infection last night when I was very uncomfortable with symptoms and had not been able to get to the Dr. The previous night I could not sleep due to excessive urgency after already emptying my bladder.  At 9:30PM I decided to get to the pharmacy to find this medication or something similar.  I was skeptical but amazed after taking 2 tabs as directed at 10:00PM I was able to sleep all night comfortably.  I did as the medication instructed and contacted my Dr. today.  All I wanted was to get through the night and it really worked! It works so well but don't be fooled that you don't need to see a Doctor. It will not cure the infection."


"Worst experience ever!. I cant even walk properly. My vagina is burning. Never buy this one."


"Was given this for knee surgery in 1989. At onset I heard a vibratory humming and the ceiling started strobing, being a deadhead I remember uttering WOW! out loud. One of the nurses said wow back. Then I was out.
When I woke I was very groggy for about a half hour but had no pain for the rest of the day but was kind of out of it.
"


"I took Arava for about 8 months. It gave me a new lease on life to the point I was having no symptoms, pain or stiffness. I had to stop the medication because of Valley Fever. I want to get the message out to anyone living in a high risk state for "Valley Fever" be very aware and see your provider if you have any symptoms. I only had a persistent cough. Had chest X-ray done and was found to have a very large lung nodule that ended up being "valley fever" abscess."


"I've been on phentermine / topamax combo for about a week now. When I started I was 218 I'm down to 210 so that's 8 lbs in a week.:) yea! But the topamax is nasty stuff makes me feel weird , eyes sensitive to light blurred vision. Confusion hard to concentrate, itchy skin. And grumpy . Thank god my plan is to only use this for a short while. It dose seem to help with hunger. However it's still not a cure all.  For me it's worth it because I couldn't lose the weight my own. If you can stand the side effects I would recommend it."


"This was prescribed for my 14-year-old's anxiety/depression and panic attacks.  It turned our lives upside down, my daughter was on it for three terrible weeks.  It increased her anxiety and the severity of her panic attacks by a lot.  The black box warning happened, my daughter was suicidal  on several occasions.  We did gene testing during this time (Genomind) and it showed she would have an adverse reaction to it.  Took her off of it and within two days she felt much better.  Genetic testing should be protocol for all doctors prescribing these meds, and please be cautious giving your teenager anti-depressants."


"I got my implanon about 6 weeks after my son was born. I love everything about it except the bleeding. It took two weeks after I got it implanted for me to start my period and here I am three weeks later and I'm still on it. It's light but its been light for about a week. Other than the bleeding I love it. No bad side effects. I don't know if age makes a difference but I got it the day before I turned twenty."


"I took the regular Keppra and it made me feel groggy and tired. Since taking the Keppra XR I feel more normal and balanced."


"Regarding the comment above that states Flexeril works but Amrix does not... as a pharmacist, I would like to clarify that both Flexeril and Amrix are brand names of the drug cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxant. Flexeril is released all at once, thus must be taken multiple times daily. Amrix is released slowly over 24 hrs, thus it is taken once daily."


"My wife has been on everything for bipolar. the Dr. added Vraylar to Bupropion, clonazepam and lithium.  At first We thought it was amazing. She went from curled up in bed to going places and doing things. Her manic episodes had been limited to rage, and after starting Vraylar, they seemed to become euphoric just prior to turning radically disphoric. The get up and go turned to akathesia. It tapered off to simply loose it's efficacy. going up to 3 mg just brought the same roller coaster. My wife is treatment resistant to many meds. If you choose to try this medication, please look out for these side effects, and keep your optimism in check."


"I had high hopes when starting this pill, I had read some good reviews on its website and my doctor thought it would work perfect for me. The first month on it was okay but I slowly started to become a different person, I had feelings of depression most of the time I was very pessimistic and had constant mood swings. This pill also made me very analytical, I looked into every little thing and made it seem negative. After 6 months on this I can not stand it anymore and am getting off. I am a completely different person and I haven't been cheerful in months."


"Restarted contrave after taking for one week then got sick with a bad head cold. On my second week and I'm was down 10 pounds but gained 2 back. Could be PMS...not discouraged. It has made my "eyes bigger than my stomach". I work 12 hour night shift and there's always snacks. I would snack throughout the night to stay awake. Now I barely graze and I've been craving a lot of fruits and salads. Hoping to get some relief from the side effects...very sleepy, mild dizziness and I have this heaviness in my stomach after I take the pill that gets resolved after I eat something that has carbs (fruit, sandwich, crackers and cheese or a cup of soda). It almost feels like a hunger pang. Fingers crossed. My doc is happy"


"I took Lyrica for a couple of months. It helped with some of the fibro pain and I felt tired and a little dizzy along with having dry mouth which I expected as common side effects. What surprised me was I got new pains in new places--my big toe felt like it was on fire and my lower back hurt badly. I started weaning off of Lyrica and the new pains went away. I also had insomnia from weaning process. I think it does work to dull the fibro pain but not sure if it's worth it if there are new pains."


"Had this in for about 3hours. Found reviews here because the burning was unbearable. It's almost 1030 p.m. and I haven't been able to sleep. I just had my husband cut slits in a bottle cap so I could douche myself to get rid of the burn. The medicine is too strong. And the douche didn't really work so I had to dig out the meds to get rid of the burn. Needless to say I'm not using this product again. If you've got the mother of all infections, go for it. If you've got an annoying one that started going away after 2 days, don't touch this stuff!"

"This medication DID eventually help with the migraines BUT I started losing cognitive skills.  I lost my ability to process thoughts, complete sentences, was even being lost in the place I lived for 35 years.  I was very scared.  My mind was clouded all the time.  The Doctor thought I was possibly having a break down due to stress. At his same time I had been battling continual Urinary Tract Infections.  The Doctor immediately took me off of this drug and everything is coming back to normal!  I was told this is a VERY common side effect and eventually I would probably have had kidney stones also.  "


"This medication did work for me but I was on it for about 3-4 months before my skin actually cleared up. Don't give up hope if you see no change in the first couple of months. I went from having moderate, hormonal acne mostly around the chin and jaw (but also would appear on other parts of the face) to having a perfectly clear and glowing complexion. I am also taking the OCP (and had been on it prior to starting on Bactrim)"


"I think this is one of the best medication's out there at this time. It has really changed me 100%. I have bipolar and I can't tell you how happy I am. I have also been on regular Seroquel and there is no comparison XR for me works far better than the regular. "


"Although it was with the girl I love and everything turned out alright. My gf did get pregnant after taking Plan B one step about 16 hours after hooking up. I have used it with other girls and with her before, and nothing ever came from it. So maybe it saved me before. But with my current gf, it did not. She got off Birth Control 2 weeks before we hooked up. Two weeks after that she had light bleeding and cramps. Figured we were all good. For shits and gigs she took a pregnancy test, followed by 2 others, and what do you know. Pregnant. So just letting people know. It can still happen. It did for me and my gf, so be careful. Its not a guarantee."


"My 15 year old son has been using this to treat his acne because just the topical treatment was not working. I see a BIg improvement after using the Vibramycin for a month. It works."


"I've had the Nexplanon bar in my arm for about 14 months now. If I could warn every woman on earth about this hideous I implant, I would! I am not exaggerating when I say that this implant has ruined my life. Massive multiple times a week migraines, rapid weight gain (50lbs in 14 months), major mood swings and anxiety, random chest pain, random gushes of blood which makes me think I'm having a cycle then it just stop, it has zapped all my energy.. This thing is a nightmare. I get it out in 3 weeks which can't come soon enough. I do not wish this on my worst enemy. I have thought about taking it out myself on numerous occasions! DO NOT get this form of birth control, please just don't. I don't want anyone to go through what I have."


"Excellent! I wish they would have left me on it! "


"Well I for one do not know what the big hullabaloo was/is about drinking the stuff..no offense to anyone but I've had worse tap water !! I did put the meds in the fridge but kept my drinking water at room temp.1st dose shot the stuff right down no problem didn't breathe thru nose.. the water - it's just 32 oz of water for pete's sake ! some cramping and nausea 3 hrs all done went to sleep next am-re.2nd dose -much easier took abt 2 1/2 hrs than drank some gatorade

I would never use a straw that just prolongs the agony for those who are so freaked out abt the taste !!! Drink it right done and get it over with !!! I stayed in the bathroom the whole time w/my laptop wouldn't think of getting more than 5' from toilet !  My first colonoscopy-65y"


"Stings at first but is my total solution to my itchy dry skin on my back and chest. Helps repair my skin within a week."


"I was diagnosed with major depression several years back. I've been on almost everything out there. I would try the medicine and hate the side effects or how it made me feel and taper myself off. Wellbutrin came on the market and I asked to be put on it. I take 300mg everyday and up until recently it was working great. As I age other emotional problems occurred (anxiety disorder) that Wellbutrin was not helping with, and Effexor was added. Wellbutrin is the ONLY psychotropic medicine I've not had any side effects with and have stayed on as long as I have. It also helped me quit smoking after being a 25 yr /1pk a day smoker."


"I have been miserable for the past few months while on Levora. At first it just started with some moodiness but it has escalated after about four months (I've been on it for about 6 months). My moodiness is just so unpredictable now I feel physically depressed and anxious. Also my decreased sex drive has become a huge problem. I have no interest whatsoever and have had increased vaginal dryness. Also I have had increased food cravings, I feel like I am always hungry and combined with feeling depressed that is a dangerous combination, I've gained about 30 lbs in 6 months. I have had much lighter periods since I have been on Levora, no cramping and no acne but the positives really don't outway the negatives."


"I have been on oxycontin for the past 7 years, but my pain had been increasing more and more over the in the past few months.  I discussed my lack of pain control and he mentioned Belbuca.  We discussed all of the pros and cons.

I tried Belbuca and during the first two  weeks, it was a bit hairy. I may have been a bit apprehensive, so I didn't think it was working.  On the third week, my pain subsided, with Norco for breakthrough pain.

I didn't like the idea of being on oxycontin for such a long time, and Belbuca gives me pain relief I do desperately needed."


"Love it, it's a life saver and if u forget to take it, you will get upset."


"I've been on Valtrex as suppression therapy for two months. After first contracting HSV2 I was getting outbreak upon outbreak with no break. It has significantly reduced my outbreaks but I am still getting them and presently not much relief. My doctor thinks it may take more time for the medication to work. But I did notice a review where this person upped their dosage while in outbreak. Will try this and see."


"I started Loestrin 24 2.5 months ago. My period which is normally 7 days long, was reduced to 2 to 4 days and it was very light but my acne got so much worse! I broke out everywhere, I got extremely moody, I cried about everything. All together it was good for lightening my period but I could not take the acne and the moodiness so I went off of it."


"I at the same time went on a dairy free and gluten free diet so I think it's a combo. I have not lost weight for 10 years of dieting. Did everything. Work out. I used to swim like a beast. Started the meds 5 days ago, and lost 4 pounds so far which is amazing cause I never ever lost. My belly is finally starting to go and my clothes feel loose. I was so nauseated and dizzy so I'm on one pill and started to take it really early in the morning so i'm fine now. Will definitely use. Belviq (I lost 10 at first and then nothing for 8 months).

Good luck."


"This drug has improved my quality of life immensely. I don't know what I would do without it. "


"It has the most disgusting taste it made me sick. Retail price over $900.00 and I threw it away."


"This is my second week on Trulicity.  Nausea(comes and goes), abdominal cramping, constant full feeling, Guess thats what helps you loose weight, who wants to eat when they feel like they just ate.  UUUUGH!!! headaches all day, muscle at base of neck on left side hurts. No diarrhea thank god (yet anyway). Just an over all not so good feeling. Not sure if I will stay on this Med.  But trying it out to see if it lowers my sugar.  I can deal with nausea but stomach pain and diarrhea  no way."


"I have tried multiple acne creams, medication and home made remedies there is. Epiduo truly cleared my face. My face has never been more clear/soft in my whole life. I HIGHLY recommend it!"


"This medicine has changed my life. On for 2 months now. Almost didn't try because of bad postings. 46 y.o. male with lifetime insomnia, worse the last 8 years. Off and on sleeping pills and self medicating daily with alcohol was destroying my marriage and life. Sleep 7 hrs   every night without fail now. A little slow to get going first thing in the morning but otherwise feel like I'm 20 again. Taking 200mg at bedtime. Zero weight gain. Just had bloods. Cholesterol 140, Triglycerides 53, glucose 79. I work out daily, eat extremely healthy, take no other medicines, and have had no alcohol for 2 months with zero desire for it."


"After a week of suffering constant pain, itching and burning, I finally made a doctor appointment and he prescribed this.    Went from constant pain to practically pain free within about 10 minutes!   I can't say enough good about this product.   I just wish I had gone to the doctor earlier in the week!"


"First started off on 30 mg for ADHD and OCD. I have noticed a complete 180 in just two and a half weeks and not just with concentration but my mood of frustration and confusion. In beginning it did make me tired but that has gone and I've actually had have dose increase to 60 mg. Overall, great medication for me."


"I'm 40 years old and have battled with acne on and off since I was a teenager. Have tried everything from natural remedies to Proactive, benzoyl peroxide etc. and they seemed to work for a short time. For the last year I started having cystic acne on my jawline that seemed to be getting worse and after going to a new dermatologist she prescribed Aczone. After 3 wks and almost giving up I can finally say that I have not had one pimple. I would have one almost everyone other day! You do have to be patient as the current pimples I had seemed to take forever to heal and fade, I can say that this is working for me now. I have some scarring  to deal with but my face will now have a chance to start healing without any new breakouts. Give it a try!"


"I highly recommend this medication for panic attacks.  Without Klonopin, I could not function in life...I couldn't hold a job, go on trips, even go to the store without having wave after wave of panic.  It works quickly, too, because with panic attacks, we want them gone or at least minimized.  I only use when needed as the body does become adjusted to them and its not as effective.  Thank goodness for this medication!"

"Never have been on birth control and started this pill a week ago. Doctor told me to start right away so I took the first row and started on a Thursday. I was also on my last day of my period. 6 days later I started spotting and I've been somewhat on my period since then. Also. my mood swings are like a rollercoaster. Is this normal for birth control because my body is adjusting?"


"Awesome."


"I was taking 50-70 Vicodins a day. That's about $300 a day. I found the man of my dreams and all I could think about was getting my pills everyday. He noticed and started to step back from the relationship. By the time I came clean to him and asked for help he was fed up and of course another girl was showing interest so before I knew it, he was calling me a worthless person and kicking me out of our house. I lost him forever so I started Suboxone 2 days ago and I'm myself again. It's great for me but too late for us. So get the drug before it's too late. It works I promise. I tried cold turkey. It's not worth it. Just give it a shot. You have nothing to lose. "


"I have had mt implant since July 2013.

Pros:

I lost 50 lbs.

I'm not pregnant.

My cycle is predictable.

I have fewer heavy days.

My periods are less crampy.

Cons:

My period has gone from a week to 2 full weeks plus a few days of spotting.

My iron is subsequently low. Low like 10.9.

I am a bit moody.

Overall, I'm a bit ambivalent. I like the not worrying about getting pregnant. The cycle issues are inconvenient at most.  Most women I've talked to have  no cycle so it seems to react at a very personal level."


"Very happy with my experience taking 50 mg. as needed for anxiety and insomnia issues. This med takes the major edge off and calms me and I sleep well. I am also taking Lexapro, which controls my panic attacks but I still experience occasional episodes and this med is perfect. Gets a 10 as a non-addictive alternative to benzos!"


"Gout is so painful. After first doses of Colcrys had immediate relief. I had fallen on my knee and was being treated for osteoarthritis with no relief. Went to arthritis doctor who told me it was gout in my knee. Went on Colcyrs and I can walk again."


"I recently just switched to this pill because I kept spotting and having heavy periods on the estrogen pills, but I have to say this pill is working great for me so far. I have little to no periods, the only place I gained weight was in my breasts so that's cool, and my mood has been so stable I barely PMS anymore. The only negative is that I sometimes breakout on my face a little bit before my period, but a few pimples over heavy bleeding and spotting in the past is no problem! Great pill, highly recommend it if you have heavy periods and want a lighter one."


"This is my second time around using Nexplanon. First time wasn't so bad. For the first couple of months I did not see my period which was something that they explained, and then when I did get my period it was very irregular. I also gained weight which was not so bad, I went from 155 lbs to 165lb. I lasted three years with it without getting pregnant which was great since those were the only two side effects I really had to endure. So I decided to go back on it for this time 4 years. What a big mistake!!! First of I am four months in and I have not stopped spotting. I also gained about 20 lbs that have been so hard for me to lose. I've been exercising and just recently turned into a vegan, but still have not been able to shed the extra pounds!"


"This is my first go with birth control; I have been on the patch for 6 months and I am not that impressed. It has resolved some issues but also made some things worse. Before Xulane, I would get debilitating vomiting during my period but cramps were scarce. It was heavy and I would often get headaches. Now that I'm on Xulane, I haven't thrown up at all and headaches are scarce but cramps have been made so much worse. It's to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night because it hurts so bad and I can't just sleep it off. On top of that, I'm getting two periods - very heavy "spotting" a week before it's supposed to come and then another period the week I'm off the patch. I chose the patch because I have a hard time swallowing pills, but I think I'm going to have to reconsider this method and probably switch to pills."


"When I can get the pen to work , I get great results.. but I have six pens that won't allow the plunger to dispense the med. This is hopeless."


"Well I got nexplanon inserted in June, so I've had it for about 6 months now. Well it is very effective, I haven't had any scares of pregnancy. BUT the side effects are horrible. I've put on about 26 pounds and I'm covered in stretch marks everywhere! From my thighs to my sides, my stomach, breasts, arms. I hate it! I feel real low about myself. I excercise regularly but nothing changes. I've also gotten very moody and bitchy. I'm debating if I should get it removed. I don't want to go on 2 more years and being a dang tiger!"


"I had my Implanon inserted about 6 months ago. I love this birth control! Relatively painless insertion,  great for those who have trouble remembering to take their pill. I did have post partum depression and that I didn't treat. Implanon intensified the feelings of depression but I knew I was depressed before the insertion. I am now on antidepressants for 6 months and will be done with them soon! Everyone is different but don't be afraid to try this form of birth control. I didn't have a period for 6 months and I had one last week that was 3 days and very light. LOVE IT. No other unusual side effects."


"Been on invokana 100 mg for 2 month to treat my type 2 diabetes I also take 2000 mg metformin daily and Trajenta 5 mg  I did get a yeast infection and horrible rash on my thighs but cleared with steroid cream yeast infection did settle after 2 weeks my sugar has lowered but still not enough I was 77 kg when starting but with a healthier diet and some excercise I'm now 71 kg the lowest I've been in years

I have now been upped dosage to 300 mg bit apprehensive how my body will cope but long term I think it will benefit me as I don't want to be taking insulin ."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 or 4 years. Up until about 6 months ago, this pill was a blessing. I have been on everything else (Depo, a laundry list of other pills) and nothing worked as well as Seasonique. A few months ago I gained about 30 pounds out of no where and I lost about 20 pounds with a lot of hard work but no matter what I do, I can't get under 130. I have severe headaches and recently I've been bleeding through and not just spotting like full on period. On top of that I was cramping severely and having stomach problems. My husband and I just decided to quit the pill and see what happens and let me tell you I feel much better. I would say yes to this pill except for the side effects I started having."


"This medicine just gave me constant yeast infections."


"I am in my 5th month with this medicine and my face is flawless and I love it-but it did come at a cost.

My side effects are bad - I have horrible joint pain, temper/anger issues, dry skin on my nose, chapped lips constantly and patches of dry skin all over my body...

The pain in my body is my biggest complaint- somedays I can barely move, my feet and my back hurt the most with the 80mg dosage and my ability to control my temper pretty much goes out the window...but I know I'm almost done, so I don't want to change a thing.

But overall, my face cleared up on my 4th month and that's all I wanted.  I'm so happy on how clear it is- but I will be even happier to not be in so much pain."


"Although I've only had Nexplanon since the 29th of July, my first months experience hasn't been a good one. To this day my period hasn't stopped for the last two weeks and I'm betting it won't stop now, which is interfering in my relationship and resulting as unexpectedly costly when it comes to pads. In the first few weeks I also had terrible mood swings, taking them out on my partner felt horrible. Have been considering having it removed already, seems like its not worth the hassle it causes, personally."


"Was ready to retire from teaching from the pain and tiredness from difficulty walking from RA. Simponi gave me my life back. Reduced immune system from RA meds given as reason for Legionnaires disease but benefits far out way any negatives. At 7.00 am about to go on extended world trip."


"have used this drug as maintenance over 100 cycles - 35day cycles.  1/2 normal dose slightly longer interval (28 day usual cycle).  Some side effects but recover.  Worth the side effects - 10years since surgery and radiotherapy"


"I am only 7 days into this birth control and already I have packed on 5 lbs and my appetite is insane. I am also hungry and typically I eat a moderate amount . I am usually 173-175 and I have gone up to 179. I am stopping this birth control today! I spent alot of hard work to lose weight and packing on pounds is not worth it for me. My sex drive seems to be about the same, so as of just a week it had no effects over that. But 5 lbs in 7 days is unacceptable."


"Seroquel has worked wonders for me.  I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 2, and after 7 months on Seroquel, I feel like a whole new person.  I had been severely depressed and was self harming before getting on Seroquel, and now I have never been so happy before!  The only problem is the weight gain - I have gained about 20 pounds since I started taking this medicine.  But this side effect is worth it to have my depression and anxiety gone!"


"I began using this medication to reduce sciatic nerve inflammation. It worked great for 9 hours and then the pain was back. Not strong enough for my needs, but again worked well for the first 9 hours."


"At first, I had ups and downs with Mirvaso.  Then I discovered (from someone online) that I only need to use a very small amount.  Now I have no problems and it really helps to control my rosacea."


"I was terribly bullied in high school, made fun of my sexuality and developed an extremely high amount of social anxiety. I would shudder at the thought of going to school. I had lost hope.  Visited a psychiastrist. Was prescribed Escitalopram. The medicine did not seem as if it was working in the first few months.

I was given anti anxiety medicines too so I always credited them whenever I felt better. However,  it has almost been an year and now I am only on Escitlopram. I realised I do not need to take any medicine at all because I am just soo confident. I realised that i am suddenly not at all hesitant to go for movies or anywhere

Confidence = restored and depression = forgotten."


"Well I'm an 18 year old teen just trying to be safe and smart, but continue a normal life with little side affects and this pill definitely did that for my twin sister and I. We love it. It's small and easy to swallow. No mood swings, no cramps, no sleepiness, or confusing abnormal bleeding that worries you for days it's wonderful. We both recommend this to whoever is looking for a reliable contraceptive pill."


"ALERT: will light your vag on fire. I stupidly inserted just before an amazing date night with my man. I ended up considering medevac-ing myself to the nearest IVU (Intensive Vag Unit). Still burning the next day. I wanna punch myself in the face. Horrible, horrible, torturous product. Must have been created by a misogynist."


"This is the third time I am submitting a review for Xulane. I was approaching 1 year using this patch, but discontinued it this past Friday. Over the past 6 months, I have had high blood pressure readings (extremely high). The only change I have made over the past year is switching from Ortho Evra to Xulane. My Doctor thinks this is causing my high blood pressure. Not only that, but I have been having headaches, which I never had prior to taking this patch. Not sure if anyone else has had an increase in blood pressure, since they started this patch? I hoped I was not the only one. Anyone else?"


"Its a great drug for pain, I have been on every pain med out there and this as by far been the best, For you people who say "I took 2 tabs about 90 mins apart. Did not sleep a wink all night. I will discontinue taking this medicine. " And things like that.  You need to give it more then a day  or even a month to work itself into your system. Give it time."


"So, the taste (doctor recommended the lemon flavor, but I'm feeling like I should have went with cherry instead) is similar to that of rancid vinegar.  As soon as I chugged the 10oz bottle I began feeling really sick to my stomach.  I even vomited.  After about 30 minutes to an hour I decided I had enough.  My stomach started churning and before I knew it I was running to the bathroom.  I stayed glued to the toilet seat for a good hour.  Basically rinse and repeat that for the duration of 5 or 6 hours.  The remainder of the medicine just leaves my stomach feeling terrible and noisy.  Good medicine, bad side-effects."


"This was my first experience with any pain medication beyond the over the counter variety. I had surgery for Crohn's Disease: bowel resection. Due to the complex nature this required fully opening up my abdomen. I was given Dilaudid through my IV every 4 hours. It totally relieved my pain. Everywhere that warm glow touched the pain disappeared. After about 20 minutes I would fall asleep and would wake up an hour later. The pain free feeling would last for about 3 hours. "


"I hear voices and hallucinate. I see people that others can't that I believe are real but others don't. I also have depression and anxiety, neither of which are a cause of the psychosis but both are made worse by it. I've tried other medication (quetiapine) but although it's helped, there have been too many side effects like weight gain that increased my negative self-image. And so now I'm on aripiprazole."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I am 61 years old. Have been in permanent Afib for approximately 6 years. I was originally put on 100mg aspirin for 18 months, then went on to Warfarin prior to an attempt at cardioversion. Heart remained in Afib so was soon after put on to Eliquis (5mg tab twice a day). I have been on this medication now for 4 years. Prior to being on Elequis, I had to inject with Clexane prior to any air travel as a precaution. Since being on Eliquis I have not had any side effects, no need for Clexane when travelling. The only precaution recommended was NOT to take any medications such as Ibroprufen for pain relief or flu and cold capsules that contain pseudoephedrine."


"I was put on Lexapro by my family doctor in May after experiencing chest pain and elevated blood pressure. Test were done to make sure I wasn't experiencing a heart attack before my doctor determined that stress was my issue.  For the first several weeks I had increased anxiety, loss of appetite and vivid dreams.  I was quite sure this medicine wasn't for me.  My doctor encouraged me to keep taking it and prescribed Ativan to help me get through some rough days.  After being on Lexapro for 8 months now, I can honestly say I feel better than I have for years! I had no idea how much anxiety I had until it went away.  I'm so thankful for this medicine and for my doctor who encouraged me to try it."


"I have been constipated for about a week or so now. I took 2 pills around 9:00 p.m. for the first time last night. I woke up around 2:00 a.m. with excruciating abdominal pains. I thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room. I've been relieved of my constipation, but have had loose/watery diarrhea about 6 or 7 times. My stomach is still uneasy, and I am still experiencing watery/loose diarrhea at 1:45 p.m. It has done it's job, but next time I will be taking just one."


"I had Implanon put in March 2010.  No problems in the beginning; still had my period only lighter, with some spotting.  Now I've been spotting for the past 3 weeks and all I want to do it eat.  My breasts are tender and swollen.  Sex drive - not there.  I'm really considering having the Implanon removed and just rely on condoms.  Unfortunately I can't take the pill because it has estrogen and I've had a history of a blood clots after a knee surgery."


"This is my second post here.  My first indicated that Pristiq was working well for me after a month or so.  However, after two months, almost to the day, it stopped and I slipped back into a depressive state. My Dr bumped me from 50 MG to 100 MG, but that only made my heart race and blood pressure go up and increased my anxiety levels.  Because of the holidays I haven't been able to get back into the Dr. but want to get off Pristiq and try something else.  Lexapro also didn't work and I find myself longing for the days when good old Paxil 20MG was enough to get me back on my feet and stable. I do find that Inositol helps with the anxiety."


"After 3 years of Rebif, I couldn't poke myself any more!!  I was then on Tysabri for 2 years, until my JCV test came back positive. I am now on my 11th month of Gilenya, and LOVE it. My only real symptom is fatigue. I have had a few more headaches than usual, and a very low WBC count, but otherwise, no other side effects.  Have always been a yoga-loving vegetarian. Am on Novartis's $0 copay program, so my portion is nothing!"


"I gave it a two star because while it was the worst birth control ever.. I didn't get pregnant. I guess it did its job.

The side effects are simply not worth it.

Within the first week, I was breaking out more than I did when I was going through puberty.. and not just the small pimples. I'm talking painful, cystic acne. My cramps were amplified x5, I had the worst pms, and the tenderness of my breasts was almost unbearable. I couldn't even sleep comfortably. I thought it would go away once my body adjusted. NO.

I got off of it and notice all my symptoms had vanished.

I started using my old birth control again (which I stopped using because it caused me to bloat a lot) but I would rather bloat than feel what I felt on Lo loestrin."


"I am giving it a 9 only because I have only been on it a few days. It works. I used to get so tired just doing my grocery shopping and have to sit 2 or 3 times during and feel like I can go for miles now. I do notice in the reviews the different ways people are using it. I was told after inhaling to rinse mouth thoroughly as the medicine can cause thrush. Anyway, I have a little chest tightness and get a bit of a headache at first but that goes away after about 30 minutes. "


"Nexplanon is my best friend. As a sexually active teenager, pregnancy is my worst nightmare. With an effectiveness of 99.95%, I can breathe easy and enjoy my relationship with my boyfriend in a responsible way. Of course with all drugs, there are side effects. The first 4 months or so I was bleeding almost all the time. That really sucked. However, the 4 months of off and on bleeding is way better than get knocked up in my opinion! I have been on nexplanon since January of 2016 and each month I experience light bleeding. Nexplanon's job is to keep me from getting pregnant. And it has done its job!"


"Been on 30mg Cymbalta 1x/day for just a week. Helps a lot with my back pain, almost like its not there and I don't obsess about it constantly. I've had 2 lower back surgeries for herniated disks over the past 15 years. So far a wonder drug with only minimal nausea at first and some fatigue. Never took any other medicines except Aleve in the past, but that just didn't cut it."


"Broke, fractured, and crushed a number of bones in a serious car accident 15 years ago. I never fully recovered but over the last 5 years the pain totally interferes with my quality of life. I prefer oxycodone (generic percocet) 10s for my pain with only 325 mgs of acetaminophen over 2000 mgs of acetaminophen. I had severe constipation for the first month or so unless I ate bran cereal every day."


"Propranolol has been a life saver for me since I started taking it in grad school for performance anxiety. For years I had avoided public speaking and any situation where I was the focus of attention. It really works...and I don't think much of it is placebo at all. I still get nervous before a large presentation (my job now requires frequent presentations), but my body stays calm. My face doesn't get as red as a tomato. I feel I can think clearly. It's truly wonderful.

Does anyone have any knowledge or evidence of propranolol having adverse effects on triglycerides/cholesterol? My triglycerides have been so high but I have also had thyroid issues too. I would love to be able to continue using this drug forever and ever, when I need it."


"Went cold turkey with Baclofen and a couple of other medications prescribed by a specialist medication, addiction doctor. Managed to hold the cravings at bay really well with 20 mg per day for 10 weeks (longest stint for 30 years!).  Then,  had a drink and went back to normal use (around 15-20 standard drinks per day) very quickly.   After a year asked the same doctor if I could up my medication by myself whist drinking until the cravings disappeared - he was happy with this. Upped the meds by 10 mg per week (Baclofen only) and then when on 80 mg per day started having mild hallucinations and could not stop a dry mouth and constant coughing (very violent coughing fits).  Stop the meds very quickly and took many many months to feel normal."


"I'm on day 10 and the 1 mg pills do upset my stomach, some days worse than others. I sleep okay but am up beat after I take the pills. I've been coming home to take a nap, which I never did before. I'm down from a pack a day to 6. I had a cigarette 13 hours after my last one today. Broke out in a sweat. Didn't enjoy the smoke. Here's hoping I can beat this sooner rather than later. Mornings are my downfall but I'm taking this one day at a time."


"I've been taking Bupropion 1 pill 150mg once a day for anxiety and depression for a month and it hasn't really been working. I feel the same way. The first day I felt that it limited my brain somehow, but that was all. And I find myself not being able to sleep at all at night ever since I started taking it. I've been sleeping 2-3 hours. Maybe I should take a higher dose or change medication."


"Was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis at 28 years old. In a span of about 8 weeks I had 3 joint flare ups. At first I just thought I jammed a few few fingers, but after having the same issue in my toe (and the fact they weren't healing) I finally saw a doctor who recommended a rheumatologist and I was diagnosed.

Took a while to take effect, but I started noticing a difference at 10 weeks. After 10 weeks, sulfasalazine plus 660 mg naproxen sodium was enough for my fingers to feel 85% normal. After 4 months my joints felt 85% on sulfasalazine alone. By 6 months it's as if I don't have arthritis at all. Truly miracle drug."


"I haven't taken this Rx for long but it definitely is *not* the best option if you have no breakthrough meds. I'm on 30mg which is to last 24 hours. I'd say it does for 18. It's not horrible but I do think people will keep complaining until they are on a higher dose. The oral bioavailability of this drug is actually lower than Norco. I take Norco 10/325 tid and combined with the Hysingla it's not the worse... but I feel little relief during the day. It does however help me a bit at night. I think docs need to give higher doses than what they are of this med because it's a 24 hour med... 30mgs in 24 hours is not a lot. Well, at least I have my Norco 10/325 to help. Also, I think this med would work better if taken twice daily! But not the worst med!"


"I started taking Vyvanse about 2 weeks ago. I am 14 years old I have noticed a huge difference and school and my grades have good from d's and f's to a's and b's. I LOVE YOU VYVANSE"


"I just wanted to say that i have been on Lunesta over 2 years.  Works like a charm, exactly as advertised.  For me anyways.  As far as the taste goes, no longer bothersome for me.  Someone told me ginger works great for taking the taste away, give it a whirl if that is all you hate about it.  I love it, saved my life."


"I hate Norvasc! It made my blood pressure worse. I was always borderline with my blood pressure. It didn't help that I work nights and my diet isn't the greatest. My doctor wanted to me try this medication for a month to see if my blood pressure would lower. Within a week my blood pressure which usually hovers at 140/80 with a pulse of 80 shot to a ridiculous 200/98 with a pulse of 98. My blood pressure will always spike around the evening. My anxiety worsened and I got headaches. This medication does not work for me and I am not going to be tricked into staying on it longer."


"I found that there are too many side effects with this medicine. The worst was numbing of my face, also I had nausea and vomiting which caused dehydration. I only took it for 2 weeks."


"Today is day 8 of my starter pack.  I've still been smoking since I started,  but definitely less. With the first 1mg tablet which was this morning I vomited for the first time, though I have been feeling nausea since day 1. Also. I realised today that my sense of smell for tobacco smoke is exstra.  I stink when I smoke. I have tried quitting once before.  Lasted about a day. So far I definitely think it will be possible with all the changes I'm noticing.  Will keep posting and rating as time goes."


"I LOVE THIS! I have been on 2 other types of birth control before Loestrin and they both made me a crazy person! I don't have any mood swings and haven't gained any weight, in fact I've lost weight! The only negative thing I have to say is I'm pretty sure that it made my breasts bigger, but hubby isn't complaining. It can be pricey if you don't have insurance, but for me its worth it because I have zero side effects. The first month I had spotting and now I get my period every month, its very light, and lasts 2-3 days. Its best to remember that every birth control is different for each individual. I was skeptical about trying Loestrin 24 when I read the reviews, but I tried it anyways and I don't regret it!"


"I have suffered from major depression since Junior High School.  In the last 4 or so years all anti-depressants stopped working for me.  I am in my 40's. Abilify has helped me tremendously.  The only side effect I seem to have is bad headaches but I guess the price is worth it as I am starting to have a life again."


"I've had Nexplanon in for a year now and absolutely LOVE IT! Getting it in was tolerable, just a small shot of lidocaine to numb it and the rest I didn't feel at all. After about 4 days my period started and lasted about two weeks but after that I haven't even spotted once. Seriously, no period for a whole year is amazing. I haven't had one pregnancy scare and my long term boyfriend and I use no other form of protection. My boobs have gone from a 36B to a 36D though, but that's not a bad thing! My mood is finally normal which is unusual for me on birth control, and my skin hasnot gotten any worse at all, if anything it's gotten a little better! I love Nexplanon! I should be the spokesperson!"


"Not good at all. I just started my 3 pack and I'm taking myself off of it. Experience has been horrible. I've had unbelievable mood swings since the start. Major breast tenderness, my PMS starts about 2 weeks early. Lots of chin acne. Nausea every single night. Slight weight gain. But my worst side effect is my hair started falling out. Literally in clumps. I have very very thick hair and it's noticeably thinner. My mother noticed just by looking at my hair line and my hairdresser also confirmed it was significantly thinner. Unfortunately I have to be on a birth control otherwise I have to many issues without it, however I've taken myself off of this and thrown away my last pack. I know pills work different for everyone but I would not reco"


"Have been taking flomax for past 6 days, usually get up 5 or 6 times a night to pee. Still getting up the same. No side affects for me. Still waiting for a good nights sleep."


"Only been on this for 3 days but don't think I can take this medicine anymore. Important note this was added to 50mg Zoloft. I have really bad depression and anxiety and fatigue in the mornings. First night I took Remeron hadn't slept in 20 hours, hadn't eaten for 8 hours, thought it would help me sleep. Wrong, couldn't lie still and massive erection for 2 hours, finally got up after 4 hrs tossing and turning ate something then was able to sleep.  2nd night I took with dinner had tacos I ate like 7 tacos, couldn't stop. Went to sleep 45 mins later even though I was not tired at all, woke up 12 hours later. Incredibly hard to get out of bed felt like I was hit by a train all day."


"It helps me sleep and not have running thoughts or wake up panicked."


"I just came through another manic episode, but with Geodon I don't think it was a severe as it has been in the past. Bipolar disorder has made me make some very poor and self destructive choice, but Geodon has really helped. I don't know where I would be without it."


"I used this medicine and it works great but initially it causes nausea and is very hard on your stomach. My stomach felt "queezy" after ingestion but the feeling was temporary. The pain relief was immediate."


"I had the Nexplanon inserted a few months ago. It has been nothing but a hassle ever since. The procedure was quick and painless. A couple weeks after I had it, I  started breaking out pretty bad. My self-esteem began to drop drastically. After using multiple remedies and medications to help with the acne, I noticed that it wasn't improving, just moving from one side to the other. That is when I decided to have it removed. So I only had it in for a few months. Some would say I didn't give it chance to improve, however, the acne was already leaving scars and progressively getting worse. Not to mention the oil on my face was uncontrollable. My best advice is if acne is something that would bother you, don't bother with this method."


"I was affected by the Levoxyl recall and was devastated. I had been on Levoxyl for Hashimotos for about 3 years, it was the only thyroid med that made me feel what I thought at the time was 'good'. Looking back, I wasn't good at all...no sex drive, weight gain, swollen face, extreme anxiety. I switchd to Tirosint about a month ago and when I noticed these side effects dissipating I was ECSTATIC but also so confused! I had no idea the Levoxyl was causing so much negativity in my life. Tirosint has NO Fillers, and for that reason...all those negative side effects from Levoxyl were gone. I dropped 5 lbs almost immediately taking me back to my post Hashimotos weight. Sex drive was back, anxiety decreased. Best of all, I'm just happy again!"


"I just got the skyla put in a little over 4 weeks ago, I was not expecting to get it that day so I had not taken any meds, it was a bit uncomfortable but totally tolerable, just felt like a bad cramp. I was able to sit right up and drive myself home. I had a regular period about 3 weeks after it was inserted and was able to have sex about a week after! My partner says he can't feel a thing too. My checkup was yesterday and my doctor said everything was perfect! I recommend this IUD!"


"I had hyperhydrosis for years and I couldn't even drive because my hands would sweat so much I couldn't grip the wheel. My hyperhydrosis was generalized all over. I was put on rubinol forte for this... The sweats stopped within HOURS of the first dose. I now take 3mg in the morning and 3 mg at night. This drug is an antichollergenic which is why it works. If oxybutin isn't making you 100% dry, try rubinol instead. I was to the point where I was so uncomfortable in my own skin after two years of looking like I'd just had a shower all the time, I considered suicide.  I tried hyoscyamine before rubinol. Which did NOTHING. Please look up rubinol on this same site drugs.com. It is prescribed for ibs, but it's side effect will stop your sweats in their tracks"


"Started Victoza October 6th 2010. I have lost 13 lbs. I am having severe abdominal pain. I really need to lose this weight. I also am taking Actos. My blood sugar is now normal."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Today was my 4th colonoscopy (I have polyps). It was the first time I used Suprep. To prepare for the big day :-) I checked out this site, and quickly realized there were many differences of opinions, and lots of good tips. I stocked up on chicken broth, green KoolAid, lemonade, water, Sprite, lemon drops, lemon slices, and apple juice which I used throughout the all liquids day.The real star of the show once I began the actual prep was something I read about on this site: White Cherry Powerade mixed with the CHILLED prep solution, instead of water.  At 6PM drank this down fairly easily over 20 minutes.  Slept from 11-3. Alternated solution with sips of apple juice and water for second dose. No cramps/pain/nausea. Cleans you out!"


"I've been using Trentinion gel for about a month now on and off I've been using it for clogged pores or acne and it's really been helping me I told my dermatologist about having a lot of dry skin so he prescribed me a prescription strength moisturizer which I put on in the morning after I wash my face and put on my make up but with the moisturizer it's been working very well but if I forget to put it on I can see the bumps on my face because of my clogged pores starting to come back but as long as I keep applying it, it works great."


"I went on Lexapro for depression and anxiety. I noticed that generally it relieved my anxiety symptoms, but had some bad side effects for me. Most troubling was the weight gain. I've always been quite slim, but while on Lexapro I gained about 30 pounds, so that was very distressing for me. Also, if I forgot to take my medication I'd get terrible migraines. I'm now transitioning off of this medication because of the weight gain. I've already started to see a difference and lost a couple of pounds (with healthy eating and regular exercise). Overall, this med was good for my anxiety, but meh for everything else."


"I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years.  I started out with the drugs used then.  In the last 5 years, we had to change the medications due to increased pain.  When Lyrica came out, it helped a lot.  Adding tramadol has been the best answer to my pain needs now.  I take 100mg two times daily.  The only side effect I see is a good one.  I am less tired.  Can't take it too close to bed or it will keep me up.  It helps me so much sometimes I wonder if that is good.  For now, I am very glad for this drug."


"I have a question. I am daily using Irbesartan combined with hydrochlorothiazide with good results, but some problems with diastolic pulse have appeared. For that reason my doctor prescribed me 20 mg of Nifedipine at night.

My question is: If I have glaucoma is there some problem by using these drugs?"


"Bleeding basically every day (heavy and light), light headed, heart palpitations, bad ache"


"Amlactin was a life saver for me.  I had tried everything under the sun.  Couldn't stand to take a bath, couldn't stand not to.  When I took off my clothes, skin flew everywhere.  Big scales, cracked, red skin. Anyway, I use  it all over my whole body, and it works.  It stinks, but it works.

It is too strong for my face.  I haven't found a product for a face regimen.

I am trying some stuff on my scalp.  I have "cradle cap".  My head always smells funky, and lately I have lost lots of hair.

So, no solution yet for face or scalp.

"


"A little trouble sleeping yet the inflammation simply disappears!"


"I have been on Yasmin for about 3 years now. I recently switched to Loestrin 24 because of all the scare with Yasmin and yaz, but now I'm loyally back to taking Yasmin. I was so worried, although I don't know why as I'm not a smoker and I'm under the age of 35. So I consulted my doctor and asked her. She said there were minute risk JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MEDICATION ESPECIALLY BIRTH CONTROL. I would recommend this birth control to anyone! My face has never looked better. I struggled with acne for years and this truly is the only thing that has helped. My periods were extremely regular, with minimum cramping and NO bloating. I did become more moody. I did experience bouts of emotional rage because of hormones, this should be expected."


"I've had IBS -c&d since I was a kid and it worsened as I got older. I learned within the past year that Lactose and wheat irritates it greatly causing severe pain, diarrhea and bloating. Until 2 months ago I had just resigned myself to having this problem and the depression/anxiety that comes with it. I finally saw a gastroenterologist 2 months ago and he took the time to go over my symptoms and some tests. Finally he suggested Elavil at a dose of 20mg at night since it can have a sedative effect. After 2 weeks I felt WONDERFUL! I felt normal! This has been a medical God send. We might increase the dose to 50mg in a few months since I am on 3 other medications for my bipolar which can lower the effectiveness of Elavil."


"I will be starting my third month on Nuva Ring tomorrow. I'm not in love with this birth control and might discontinue. The first month was great, no symptoms at all. On the third week I took the ring out as directed and started my period the next day. This second month hasn't been so great. I pretty much began having pregnancy symptoms. I have nausea, I vomited once, and tender breasts. I just feel slightly sick and have been for the last 2 1/2 weeks. This week I am off the ring and I was supposed to put a ring in tomorrow but had to go to the doctor to get a pregnancy test because I have completely missed my period. I'm not thank goodness, but these side effects have been getting worse.I have been getting headaches and I am moody brat lately. Not good"


"Mucinex works great for colds and to help get the nasty stuff up before it takes root in the lungs, but for Bronchitis you will definitely need something much stronger (see a doctor) unless you want to be sick for about 4 weeks."


"I rated this medication once before, I felt a need to update my review. I've taken Saphris since '13 @ 30 mg. Nightly and over the past 5 months I've slowly tapered down to 10 mg. With high hopes of discontinuing. Saphris got me out of a bad spot, I remember being horrified of answering the door let alone leaving the house I was so delusional. I got out of that spot, SLOWLY got on my feet and SOME WHAT rejoined society. My positive manic spirit is gone, I'm always tired & feel like life goes on around me, not with me. Its very hard to discontinue, I have panic attacks daily now and am beyond stressed. I feel like I'm trapped, no worse--or better--on or off after all these years."


"I'm 34 years old mother of one and had my paragard in for a year and a half.  The only positive thing I can say about this iud is that I did not get pregnant.  That being said, the side effects were so awful that I just recently had it removed.  My periods were almost unmanageable.  Think super plus tampon, with a pad, and bleeding through both within 2 1/2 hours for the first few days.  Please believe me when I say this is not an exaggeration.  I also experienced: painful cramping, spotting between cycles, weight gain, acne (not usual for me), and horrible bloating.  I only give it five stars because, as I said before, I didn't get pregnant.  However I would never recommend this iud to anyone and am very anxious to feel like myself again"


"My 8 year old son has ADHD and was put on this medication. Well the entire family thinks it's the best thing for him. We notice right away if he hasn't taken his medicine, as soon as he wakes up. It didn't really help calm him down, but more helps him focus clearly. We have seen a drastic change in school as well. I would tell anyone who has ADHD about it."


"I'm not an easy patient, unsatisfied with the weight gain from the typical atypicals, lacking an 'oomph' from lithium, allergic to lamotrgine and anti-depressants give me a one way ticket to the manic rollercoaster.

I started Abilify and within 3 days I was hypermanic and nauseous to boot. No sleep, spending $400 on some bed sheets seemed like a marvellous idea, thrill seeking etc and throwing up every 3 hours.

However my psychiatrist guided me through it with sleep meds and something to settle the stomach and I'm so glad I pushed through.

Yeah, the restlessness is an issue but I'd like to consider myself an 'experience and going out' person now. Anything better than the listlessness of depression or meds that are supposed to cure it."


"My Mother was placed on this after broken wrist, broken hip and fractured pelvis.  I do believe that this medicine keep her from having a broken shoulder when she fell out of her wheel chair.  Granted there was a small hairline fracture.  I just know it could have been worse. (she was also a T2 and with dementia).  Her Encro had her placed in a study that paid for the medicine."


"I had been taking these pills for about 6 months and my period were great, skin was perfectly clear. Then I got off of them and now I'm back on them and my entire chin has broken out. I'm only on the 3rd week of restarting them so I hope it goes back to the way it used to be. Maybe its just the hormones going crazy for now. I don't know."


"It helps with my narcolepsy but isn't strong enough. I can still fall asleep almost anytime."


"I started taking Contrave on Dec. 16. At that time, my BMI was over 31. I am 5'7'', femaile, aged 57, starting weight was 218. I weigh 194 this Am on my ScaleDown program. I am also using Jenny Craig low- cal food program. My exercise is extremely light at present due to low energy. I expect this to improve as I learn to eat a bit more. Very very happy with Contrave, ScaleDown, and Jenny Craig. Great support from MD as well. NO side effects at max. dose except a bit of nausea occasionally, correlates with extremely low food intake. ( much less than Jenny Craig recommends). ."


"Added naltrexone to my current regime which includes Bupropion about 2 months ago when I weighed in at 188lb, and although I haven't stepped on a scale since that day I can tell you that the weight is definitely coming off. The journey hasn't been without some side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and a definite aversion to food about 85% of the time. The aversion to food took me totally by surprise since I genuinely love food."


"I have suffered from menstrual migraines for many years. Was taking too much Imitrex (10x per month) so asked the doctor about a preventive, everyday. He prescribed 25mg of Elavil at bedtime. Makes me very drowsy but this month had only 3 migraines instead of the usual 10. So I'm crossing my fingers."


"I started taking these tablets for a cheat infection I am on day 4 and thinking of stopping. My mouth tastes vile I am constantly drinking or swilling my mouth out as I have a metallic perfume taste in it, I keep having some weird dreams and I am very restful on a night time since I started these tablets. Another thing is I don't have a appetite at all. I have been taking these tablets for 4 days and the only thing I feel is my chest loosening but everything else I still have and the pain I suffer from in my stomach is not nice. I just say since taking this medication I have felt worse in regards to stomach trouble, not eating or sleeping and the worse thing is the taste in my mouth is really is VILE!!!!!"


"I'm currently on venlafaxine, 300mg/day, and have been on it for 6 months now.  This stuff works beautifully for me.  I had/have MDD, GAD, SAD, and took Paxil for 10 years, which worked quite well until 8 months ago.  I was scared of switching because of the fact that not all anti-depressants work for everyone, and I was terrified of fully reverting back to my suicidal, petrified old self.  My psychiatrist was able to convince me after a couple months to go for it.  On the venlafaxine I feel calm, HAPPY, able to concentrate, mildly euphoric, and better than I did in my early days of taking Paxil.  This stuff is hit or miss for different people, but don't be scared to try it if you haven't.  And give it time to work."


"I started on Keppra before I got pregnant, I was on a large dose of Epilim, and it would not be safe for me to be pregnant on such a large dose therefore my neurologist reduced my Epilim dose to 500g twice a day and introduced Keppra 500mg twice a day. Thankfully my son was born healthy. Next week I am planning to start to come of Epilim gradually due to constant tiredness, irritability and agitation that is made worse from being on two medications. Will just be on Keppra, hope it works as I have been seizure free for 2 1/2 years. I have juvenile myocolonic epilepsy, and I have had epilepsy for 14 years but have only been controlled for 2 1/2 years Lamictal was a waste of time."


"I was always mad and very anxious. When I would think about any situation my heart would race and I would feel all panicky. At times I even would have suicidal thoughts. I've been taking Lexapro for 1 month and feel great. I enjoy life and am not always stressing. I don't get anxiety and have no suicidal feelings. The only side effect I have is I'm not sleeping so heavy. I still suffer from OCD but I'm trying to have more control."


"Over the past 11 years, I've been on every antidepressant on the market (well, besides the MAOIs).  Cymbalta does something for me that NOTHING else can, and for that I'm both glad and thankful.  Nothing is perfect, but this is the best thing out there, in my experience."


"Ok so I've always had clear skin until a few weeks ago when I broke out with a large amount of red dots all along me cheeks and forehead. I was prescribed this and I've only been using it for 1 day but my face is almost 100% better this medicine works wonders. It can be very drying to the skin so I suggest moisturizing before and then a few hours after applying I'm very IMPRESSED and exited to continue using this product"


"UPDATE: so I've been on bydureon for 6 weeks. I do now get the itchy lumps at injection site. The nausea I had in the beginning  is gone. Blood sugars are much better. No weight loss to report and what little appetite suppression i had In the beginning is also gone. I am 40lbs overweight and just absolutely struggle to lose 1 pound. I was really hoping this would work for me in losing weight. So far nothing."


"Can I say.... awful cramps? Never in my life have I had cramps like these! I've only been on Sprintec for a month. My first period was this past weekend and it was bad! I had to take muscle relaxers to get the pain to lessen and those barely touched it. Also, I'm still bleeding four days into my new pill pack. I'm ready to be DONE with this ridiculously long period! My moods are insane. I'm emotional.
One positive: My face is amazingly clear. That's it."


"SO...
DO  NOT BE AFRAID!!!
I have been panicked for 2 months about the taste of this stuff...
I tried the gallon jug stuff 2 months ago and completely wimped out and cancelled the appt...
A friend of mine died just last night due to complications from colon cancer if that was not a sign to get this medicine down I don't know what was...
ANYWAY...
Refrigerate the night before...get crystal light powder mix...
mix up a batch and keep in refrigerator over night..
slice up one lemon..
mix your solution with crystal light mixture...
I also got a starbucks valencia orange refresher and some pineapple tea..
pour your suprep mixture into 4 4oz cups...
suck a lemon..chug one 4oz cup...suck a lemon....wait 5 minutes repeat...drink 32oz of warm tea...."


"If anyone is thinking about taking this medicine don't. I lost some weight, but the side effects was very bad for me. I took  it for about 2 months cause I spent so much money on it I thought the side effects would go away but they didn't. I don't want to eat cause I stayed sick all day. My Doctor give me some medicine for the nausea, but it only help a little. I have never felt like this in my life and I will never take another diet pill again it is not worth it. I had headaches, stomach pain, dry mouth, couldn't sleep. Don't buy this medicine please. This medicine should be taking off the market."


"Clonazepam 0.5 mg. worked for me better than diazepam or Librium in relieving panic/anxiety and helping me to dose into a mild sleep. I am satisfied with this treatment, works well along with Effexer XR for me."


"When I finally get this medication filled I will give an update on its effectiveness then.

Contrave charges an obseen amount for this perscription and insurance does not help."


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex and he pulled out but came all over my vagina. I was really scared that somehow sperm would make their way to an egg. I was ovulating at the time. I took Plan B about 20 hours after it happened. I had no serious side effects except a little light headedness every once and awhile. I started to regularly check my cervix position to make sure that it wasn't low and soft (which would mean I was most likely pregnant). It never was and I got my period on the exact day it was supposed to come! So girls - don't stress yourself out too much."


"58 years old. Had the Prolia injection for newly diagnosed osteoporosis 3 months ago.  Experienced flu-like symptoms for 2 weeks; muscle aches, constant burping, loose stools, extreme fatigue in thigh muscles.  The manufacturer side effects list included depression.  I wouldn't classify it as that, but, I definitely felt very exasperated for a couple of weeks, and, just not my usual cheery self.  Then it all went away.  I have no symptoms now & I don't know if it's helped my disease or not."


"I was switched to Trintellix after several other SSRI medications didn't seem to work. I was started on 10mg, the first week I felt fine. But then its as if overnight I became a different person. I went straight into a mania phase. I wasn't sleeping, eating. I felt like I had no control of my emotions or my body. It almost cost me my marriage. Thankfully, my husband knew me well enough to know this was not normal for me and had me go back to my PCP and now I'm back on Zoloft and waiting to get in with a Psychiatrist to find some other options. I don't  want to experience anything like that again."


"First allergy medicine that has helped me. Love it."


"Just finished dosaging, I waiting for results"


"Since I have been on it less than a month, my breasts are painfully tender as well as HUGE, I'm extremely moody and bitchy, weight gain/bloated not sure which, nausea, 0 sex drive, the only good side is I'm extremely project oriented on task."


"Works well."


"Might work for others, but I came down with most of the adverse side effects within hours of taking one 500mg tab. Ended up in emergency 12 hours later with difficulty breathing from swollen airways. Hives. Scary part was how it can effects the mind. I had residual effects for a number of days."


"Got mine inserted on December 31,08. Have had problem since. I have a headache every other day. I will spot for four days then period for 20 days. This has been going on since I got it. Only good thing about it is I don't have to worry about taking the pill. I cry for no reason and mood swing are crazy. I barely have a sex drive. I cannot take the bleeding, headache and mood swings."


"Girls, if you think it's not going to work stop sweating it. My boyfriend and I had sex while I was ovulating and the comdom broke and about 9 hours later we got Plan B and I took it. I got my period 2 weeks early and broke out pretty bad and had terrible headaches but it's better than pregnancy and taking care of a baby when you aren't ready. Don't worry it works"


"I've been using this product for 4  years. Anyone who is concerned about spotting and immediately switches is just being impatient. It's not easy for your body to be programmed to have a period monthly and then switch in an instant to every 3months. You WILL have spotting for the 1st 2-3 cycles, but it will go away! You must be patient and give your body time to adjust. There are so many versions of this available now: Seasonique, Seasonale. If one isn't working for you because you feel as though it's giving you worse cramps, acne, etc., try another brand. I have not experienced worse acne and my periods are shorter and less painful. Remember your life changes- just because your acne got worse doesn't mean it was automatically your birth control."


"I been on this medicine since 6 years, I love it. Never  thought I was going to get better especially after my last pregnancy, oh my gosh couldn't even get out of the house, but than my doctor introduced me to this amazing pill, 150 mg a day. That's all I needed, and bang ....my life was like before."


"I am a veteran and the VA recently contracted with Mylan for patches.  THEY ARE HORRIBLE! I have to tape them on. They will not stay on without tape. What a way to scam our VETS. VA pharmacy told me that everyone at the hospital hates them. If you have to buy your own, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!"


"I have been on Gabapentin for about 2 years. I had severe anxiety and tried Amitriptyline and Citalopram without success. I take 3 x 300mg Gabapentin a day and my anxiety has certainly decreased quite significantly. I still have the occasional 'black cloud' day, but I can honestly say these tablets have definately tsken the edge off it. I sleep better, have not gained weight and do not feel like a zombie. For me, Gabapentin has been a good alternative to usual antidepressants."


"Condom broke, got plan B over the counter no problem. Took it yesterday and so far I've had none of the symptoms whatsoever. So for all of you girls who are sitting there terrified reading this like I was.. Don't be afraid to take it. I've had NONE of the side effects. And its better to be safe than sorry. You'd rather take it and not need it than to look back in a month while you're staring at your positive pregnancy test and wish you had just taken the stupid thing. Hopefully it works :)"


"I have very sensitive skin and am prone to dry/itchy skin however Duac has not affected me in this way at all. Duac literally got rid of all my spots on my forehead within a few uses, and not only that, but that was 3 years ago and I haven't suffered since. I use it every now and then on the odd spot but that's all...Duac is a miracle!!!"


"I've had the Nexplanon insert since September 17, 2013. I just started what I think is my period. Before birth control I had a regular period that was extremely heavy. I have been spotting since yesterday but it is on schedule for my cycle. I've had slight cramping but nothing out of the ordinary associated with that. Other than that, I had the usual bruising at insertion site and it itches like crazy at night. However the pros of not having to worry about a pill, patch, or shot makes it worth while. I have an extremely clear face and got my first bump ever last week, but with a little TLC it went away. I love it so far and haven't noticed any weight gain or change in appetite. Looking forward to the rest of these 3 years!"


"Y'all, I'm an ob/gyn and it took me using this stuff myself to decide I will NEVER recommend it to a patient again. My vagina is on FIRE. I am completely miserable. This is way worse than any yeast infection I could dream up. I feel like I must have third degree burns on the inside. I thought I could tough it out, but no girl is that tough! Monistat, this is NOT okay. I will be prescribing oral treatment from now on."


"THE PILL WORKS! My period ended on June 9th. Days after on the 17th, I had unprotected sex and was not sure if my boyfriend had came in me or not. Seven hours later I had bought the pill and drank it just in case.Stupidly, on the 20th, I had sex again. This time my boyfriend had a condom on. But it broke and he came inside of me completely. I was freaking out cause I'm only 17, and can't afford to be pregnant. But I bought the pill three hours later and drank it. Some side effects I was experiencing was backaches, headaches, nausea, vaginal discharge and brown spotting. Lucky to say I got my period today! At the expected time. Thank you plan B! Any side effects you experience ladies are all alike to pregnancy, just don't stress!."


"I was severely depressed before deciding to try this medication. I recently graduated (May 10) with my second B.S.  I am also a mother. I knew before that I wasn't happy like I should be.  I never ever was proud of my accomplishments, it was difficult for me to do daily tasks and play with my daughter.  I was never happy. When I graduated with my bio degree, I sunk really low, the weight above my head felt like a building was being held on top of me.  A friend suggested depression. I decided to talk to my doctor about it and we gave Paxil a try.  I felt better almost immediately.  Within 1 week I can honestly say the weight was gone and I felt better than I have in a REALLY long time. It has changed my life! Highly recommend!"


"I take prestiq for anxiety (first) & depression. I don't know what the true definition of "normal" is but, this is the closest I've felt to it in quite some time.  My most recent attempt of feeling "normal" was with 8 years/ lexapro. My concentration level was on point & my anxiety level was low but,  the zombie like feel, the lack of sex drive & weight gain eventually drove me to find an alternative. After several failed attempts with various other options, I can say that prestiq has proven to disprove most, if not all, of my concerns. Yes,  I still get fiery mad at times (with good reason) but, it's controllable. Yes, I still get sad/anxious but,  there are tangible reasons & I am now able to pull myself out a lot sooner."


"Since early childhood I've gotten painful and gross cold sores. Just awful. In my nose sometimes, down my chin...yuck. I hate this virus. I tried all the wacky home remedies...yeah that battery powered silvery piece of rubbish

I figured I'd just be Quasimoto every 3 or 4 months and just deal with it. :(

Until Acyclovir 800. What IS this stuff?!?! It's magic, that's what it is. YMMV, I personally have to take 4 at first tingle to stop it "cold." It never gets red, never gets to blister. Certainly not that fun cracked, bleeding horror show round about day 6 without this stuff.

So to make a long story longer, get Acyclovir 800. An interesting side effect is that I also have fewer, and less severe outbreaks.

Thanks for reading,"


"This has been a life changing experience. I suffered from migraines for years having 3-4 a month with a constant daily headache. I tried everything and things helped but not like this. I haven't had a migraine in 3 months and the one I did have was nothing like the ones in my past. I still get random headaches but again nothing like before. I feel brand new. I feel free from my migraines.

I would recommend this to anyone struggling with migraines or daily headaches"


"I had a copper IUD for 9.5 years, inserted after birth of first (and only) child. It was the best birth control experience I ever had. I did not have pain to speak of on insertion--I got it inserted and drove myself home and felt fine. (It might be more painful if you've never had a child.) I really liked never having to remember to take a pill, or do anything, and I felt my libido was better on the copper IUD than on BCP. I did have heavy period, like 5 days of solid bleeding, but no cramping or pain. I just replaced it with a Mirena, as I am older now (46) and have a fibroid so I want to cut down on the heavy flow. But I had a very positive experience with the copper IUD and liked being hormone-free after many years on the pill."


"I am 17. Epiduo clears my acne so well. If I have a bad breakout and I use the Epiduo, my face is pretty much clear within a week after I start using it. I really love this product and it has definitely helped with my acne."


"I really am thankful to have came across all of these reviews because I was ready to dial 911 just minutes after putting this in, thats how bad this stuff burns!!!!!! But I wish even more I had read the reviews first. Omg.. I wish I could undo what I just did. I literally spent 30 mins trying to get this stuff out. Never again will I use this product!!!!"


"Dropped elevated b/p within 10 days. I had been inactive because of knee surgery and unable to walk every day as before, knee is as good as new and have resumed walking. This med works."


"This didn't agree with my body at all.  After only 2 or 3 days I was convulsing, vomiting, diarrhea and was very lethargic.  I was on a very low dosage. (10 mg)"


"Reading these reviews Really helped I knew it was this BC!! Ok I have had the nexplanon for like 10 months when I say my mood swings are the worst and the weight gain is ridiculous I was never a small girl but I was never huge tho!!! My sex drive does not exist like I really had to sit down a few days ago and think about what was wrong with me and the birth control is the only difference I have made since then. The depression and mood swings is crazy I will be scheduling me an appt to get this thing taken out. I just be yelling at my boyfriend and thats when it hit me because Im really laid back and cool this thing has to get out my arm"


"I am a little over two months now from insertion.  Never had children, 45 years old and insertion was almost unbearable for me.  However, after about 10-15 minutes after the insertion, I felt perfectly fine and went shopping!  I had almost no spotting the first month and then had a much lighter than normal period with almost no cramping.  I use to have very heavy periods with a lot of cramping.  The past month I have had no real period and no cramping, but I am spotting pretty much every day.  It does vary from bright red blood, to some days the brown blood.  Not really enjoying it, however I did read beforehand that this was pretty normal for the first few months.  Other than that, no side effects.  Still happy with my decision to do it."


"I was on this medication for two months and did not drop one pound. In fact when i decided to stop taking it due to the fact I was not happy with the product, within a week and a half i gained 10lbs and have now hit a record high As far as weightc"


"This medication works great for my high blood pressure (when I first started Bystolic it brought both numbers down tremendously) and a small leak (Mitral Valve Prolapse) The flutters in my chest weren't as frequent as they used to be."


"At first I saw little effect, until I reached 65 units, It was not a remarkable change 10 pts on my sugar reading. But I got a weird laryngitis and a persistent cough with throat phlegm that went from Christmas until mid  March when I finally figured out it was caused by Tresiba. Stopping the inject let the symptoms go away. Very uncomfortable side effects."


"So I'm almost a month into using aczone twice a day and minocycline 100mg twice a day. So my face us actually getting worst "


"I started taking Victoza 3 weeks ago and feel much better.  The only side effect I have had is dry mouth.  I have lost 10 lbs and have about 35 more to go.  My blood sugars are around normal and I feel better"


"This product really works!  It is the first thing that really provided fast pain relief.  It is a little on the expensive side but worth every penny since it actually works."


"I am a 35 year old woman who has been fighting with my eating issues since I was a child.  Thanks to this medicine for the first time in my life I am not compelled to finish my plate and am perfectly happy sticking to a 1200-1500 calorie diet.  I finally know when I'm full from eating. I have had zero side effects from contrave.  No nausea, no constipation, and thankfully no seizures.  I had decided along with my doctor that the possible side effects were far outweighed by the results.  I started the pills April 21st and am down 50 pounds as of June 22nd.  This is a life changer!"


"I started using Epiduo on May 8th 2013, the next 5 days didn't find any visible change. I applied very little gel every night before bed. Next day washed face.
On 5th day I got few acne on my cheeks and forehead. Day 6 - heavy redness on full face with severe itchy. Day 7- called my Dermatologist. She said use it alternate days and it will be fine. Still heavy redness and very severe itching. Day 8- itching reduced leaving no changes to redness. Day 9- itching reduced further and redness became rose. I could see its healing. Skin dried out so I had to use Cetaphil moisturizer whole day.
Day 10- I could see the redness visibly fading away leaving the skin clearer. Itching reduced a lot, skin dry.
I hope I could see positive results within next 2 week."


"Very effective by the second week of starting the treatment."


"This is my third week on this brand. I'm really not too sure if I fully like it or not! I don't get as many headaches but I have been getting random body pains. I feel like when I get the smallest cuts I bleed more then normal. I can agree with some other reviews that I want sex more then normal and my breast feel very swollen and firmer then normal. I have noticed that if I take my pill at least an hour after the time I normally do I start to get such bad pains near my hips And its not a little, I mean sharp pain. I also have no interest in food at all since I have started this brand. When I do force myself to eat I personally eat almost three times less then I did before this pill"


"Switched from Pentasa which I was throwing up or having it come out in bits in my stool (not absorbed). Salofalk is easier to swallow and has kept me in remission although how much of it is due to the drug and not just avoiding stress which triggers my symptoms I don't know. It is coated better than Pentasa and the oblong shape works better for swallowing as they are not small."


"Skyla was the best birth control decision I have ever had. I've been on it for three months now and absolutely love it. There was certainly a fair amount of pain on insertion and the week after; I will admit that, but it has improved my sex life, hasn't tampered with my systemic hormones/weight gain/etc., makes me feel comfortable and safe, and my partner can hardly ever feel it.

10/10 would reccommend!"


"Got one shot, hair started falling out withing 2 weeks, got second shot- hair continues to fall out. Also have had other severe side effects including weight loss, constipation, numbness. "


"Ritalin has changed my life for the better. Family and friends could see how happy I was. I was able to finish what I started instead of 20 progject. A fill in Dr said he would not prescribed me my Ritalin because I was 61years old that I was too old. My regular dr is out of town. I am withdrawing and very tired and depressed and I want to die or I will if. These thoughts of after life will be painless live alone and no one will find me for days"


"Okay... I have finally stopped bleeding, loss all the weight I gained (12lbs). So I guess, if you can get through the first 90 days of nonstop bleeding  then you'll be okay. My Dr. Advised me not to remove it and give it time, he was right. I like not having to think about birth control, I  was just freaked out by the 3 months of bleeding. Like I've previously said the insertion wasn't bad for me."


"helps prevent my migraines most of of the time/"


"Tried Tegretol to no avail. Trileptel is great for me."
