"It works. No more cravings, no more stealing. The best part is I do not even miss the heroin. It does have side effects, I have a problem concentrating when I am on it. It also gets me constipated. I take Mylax daily to prevent that. It is amazing how I no longer crave opiates! None! Thank God for this as my life was spiraling out of control."


"I have been taking this medicine for a little over 2 months. I take it for 3 weeks at a time then I will break for a week. I have lost 28 pounds. This is extraordinary for me. I have been obese for 15 years and have tried everthing. This is the answer for me."


"I'm 53 years old and in good health but was finding that my erections were unreliable and would often be lost during foreplay before penetration. After three failures in a row I decided I had to do something. I take half of a 20mg Cialis and am ready to go in about 30 minutes. The erections are rock hard and I now have my confidence back knowing that they will not let me down. The pill is effective for about 2 days and I wake up with an erection next morning just like when I was in my 20's. I've been taking these for 9 months now with no side effects. Amazingly good medication. I wish I had got these years ago. They are expensive but by using half a pill which lasts all weekend it is well worth the cost."


"This is my first birth control pill and I have been using it for 1 year and 3 months. Some info: 5'4, 120 pounds, 22 years old. I started using Alesse 28 on recommendation from my doctor because I have had irregular periods since I was 12. After several tests I am confirmed to have Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which basically gave me major cystic acne, mild increase in body hair, and irregular periods (occurring 2-4 times a year).

This pill has worked great for me: no pain, no depression/anxiety, no weight gain, light nausea couple times a month, no cystic acne (only occasional small pimples but this is normal for me as I have very oily skin). I get a light period and light discharge sometimes seven days before I stop taking the pill."


"I had a torn labram. I had shoulder surgery and got this for the pain, it was alright. I had to take at least 2 too deal with the pain. Good luck."


"I have now been on NuvaRing for 2 years and I like it.  I was never one to forget to take my pill but it is nice to not worry about it.  I went on NuvaRing because it was recommended by a friend and the doctor.  I have read many of the poor reviews on the NuvaRing and all the bad reviews are common side effects of birth control in general.  I have been on birth control for about 13 years and have used different types all have the same side effects; mood swings, bloating, cramping, weight gain, lack of sex drive and poor natural lubrication during sex.  I have been happy with the NuvaRing and will continue to use it."


"I have been taking dexedrine for about seven days now and it has definitely helped with my chronic feelings of anxiety - that painful feeling in your chest. This in turn has allowed me to better concentrate on the daily issues at hand then constantly having that feeling of flight or flight regarding any number of daily life issues.

Thus far very helpful and I hope to continue down this path - I wish I had tried this drug years ago."


"I have only been sertraline for a week and already I feel so much more relaxed generally. The only side effect I have noticed so far is bloating. Did anybody else experience this?"


"I was involved in a major car accident. I'm lucky to have survived my neck and back including my whole left side wash in incredible amounts of pain. My Doctor prescribed me Percocet and now I can tend to my little ones taking them back and forth too school. I'm very thankful for this wonder pill. It's best for me and I've had my share of different medicine. I'm more than satisfied."


"Laying in bed reading all of your horror stories and about to cry because I am currently going through the same thing. I used this same product a year or two ago with no problems. So confused and upset WHY DID I SPEND $20 ON THIS?!?"


"I smoked for 30 years and took Chantix for 3 months. That was 7.5 YEARS ago! It was absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself. I did experience some stomach discomfort and unusual dreams, but they were well worth the result! I would and do recommend this medication for anyone who wants to finally quit!"


"Remeron helped my anxiety, but came with side effects. The worst was an uncontrollable appetite and subsequent weight-gain. But everyone is different."


"I started taking Lexapro about 4 months ago, first at just 5mg. As the weeks went by I increased it gradually to 10mg, then 15mg, and now I am on 20mg (have been for about 2 months). I have experienced absolutely no side effects whatsoever on this medication, to my amazement. However it did not really start working until about 2 months ago, it does take time. It does not feel as though I am on antidepressants, what this medication seems to do is prevent me from thinking depression or anxiety-driven thoughts...I am not super happy, but I am definitely not depressed either. It has worked seemlessly, I simply do not delve into those dark depressing thoughts anymore...and I do not experience anxiety. It's been very successful :)"


"This is THE best birth control. Ever since I got it I haven't had one scare nor have I needed to be worried. At first it did really screw with my periods and acne and emotions and I almost had it removed but my doctor said I should keep it for at least a year so my body would have enough time to adjust. Well, it's been about a year and I am so happy. I no longer bleed when I have my periods. I do still have the emotions and extra breakouts but other than that nothing! The only thing that hasn't gone away is my acne, it's actually gotten a little bit worse. I love it anyways and would suggest it to everyone and anyone."


"It worked when nothing in the past had. No real side effects, I did have some diarrhea, but it subsided in a day or two. Plus, I'm a girl, and I usually have the opposite problem, so it didn't bother me."


"I was sexually assaulted  (raped) December 15th and took Plan B 8hrs after the occurance. I was ovulating and I am overweight and I've read that the pill is worthless for someone like me. I was due for my period the 19th and it never came. I literally prayed for my period for Christmas. It came the day after, on the 26th lol. So even if you're ovulating and overweight, it will work. Put the phone down and relax. You will be fine."


"I so amazed of how this pill helped me! I have tried everything and nothing worked. One of my friends recommended it to me so I decided to ask my gyn if I can try it and he was like I see why not! So yes it works........And I have no side effects as many people say I think every body is different."


"I was worried the patch would be intrusive, but once I put it on, the only thing I noticed was my reduced need to go to the bathroom. I didn't experience any other side effects."


"I started seeing signs of a possible infection coming on and went in bought the equate version of Monistat 1 day treatment ...it's literally the same thing as  Monistat.oh my god I wanted to kill myself... Twice. I started to get irritation and itching beyond belief but I didn't even have before I put the thing in. it was legit driving me banana sandwich. so I went online and I saw women who had the same experience and lo and behold who ever knew putting yogurt on a tampon and putting it up there would take all of the horrible symptoms awayfrom the Monistat! I went from feeling like I had the Devils vagina to singing Ave Maria! fuck you monistat. .u suck"


"I've used this pill for a month and I've gained 10 pounds in just one month, and I became very moody. Besides, I've got a break through bleeding and it lasted over than a week. "


"Loss of sexual appetite, tingling fingers."


"DO NOT TAKE THIS BIRTH CONTROL!!!!! My gosh this is the worst thing to ever happen to me. Having clear skin my entire life I had never dealt with such harsh breakouts in my life. I looked like a 13 year old going through puberty. Also not to mention I was in such severe lower abdominal and lower back pain I could hardly move! I would not recommend this pill whatsoever! Super moody as well!"


"Fantastic! Takes all anxiety away and give your muscles relaxation as well. Best pill I've tried. And I've tried some thousands."


"I have had 5 back surgeries in four years with the last one being a double fusion at L-4 to S-1. This last surgery failed again, and they are now considering another one to fuse my lumber spine all together. I have been on Fentanyl patch along with Percocet for three plus years. I take 150 mcg every 48 hours along with ten Percocet a day and still in pain. I just wish I could find something that relieves the pain to at least allow me somewhat of a better life. Right now I am basically house bound and depressed and sometimes very angry."


"I'm very thankful for this website, I'm currently ending my second month and have no period. I of course took a test and resulted negative. I went into reviews to see toward the begining and through out it could be a possibility. As for mood swings I have none, no weight gain, my acne has lessened as well. I used to be on Yaz, I took it for six years but it was expensive and I had such severities with it. I'm going to stick it out a few months to see if I can mentally handle the period free lifestyle. I'm 23 and have been on birth control for almost 7 years total."


"I have been working out for the past year and a half. I've taken many kinds of diet pills and let me tell you this is by far the BEST thing. I've lost 35lbs and I feel wonderful. I do feel a little jittery but I can handle that. It's great and I hope it never goes away. Love it!"


"My pill has changed it was a tiny little blue blue. It's now beige with ez 3 and and an M o. The opposite. Seems like it doesn't work like the little blue pill I've taken for months."


"I am on day 8. Finally starting to feel some what normal again. This medicine has made me feel horrible. The first few days I was extremely agitated with crying bouts that are completely abnormal for me. My doctor told me that want a side effect, but I have seen several people mention the same issue. I still have a general feeling of being anxious and feeling ill. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches have all been frequent. Stool is very black. Metallic taste and dry mouth. I can say eating well before each dose and drinking water seems to have helped. I wish my doctor had given me more information,  so I was at least prepared. I won't know until 3 months if it works - for my breath test. If it works, I suppose it is worth it."


"I have been using Kerydin for over a year every day on my toenails. I have seen NO improvement. Very disappointed and would not recommend using thus medication."


"I was a little weary of trying it out because even after insurance it was $55 for the tiniest bottle ever, but I thought hey if it works then it might be worth it. I've been using it daily and have not noticed a change in the redness of my eyes. It has helped at relieving my eyes from being itchy, but I still notice that my eyes are red and veiny. I would not recommend it, I'm sure you can get another eye drop that works just as mediocre for much less!"


"Was given voltaren-XR for knee pain.  I am still unable to feel any effects.  I also can't take Advil with it, which seems to be the only thing that was helping. Tylenol makes me very sleepy. Taking that with the Voltaren is not an option as I need to be alert for my job."


"While this drug worked in terms of making me tired, I was woken and spent a good portion of the night fighting off sleep paralysis and horrendous nightmares of my kids having died...so for me, the purpose was defeated. Now, this may work for you, so please don't let my experience scare you away. I want to just point out what MAY happen. Good luck, and hopefully, good sleep to all of you."


"I think Humira works ok for psoriasis but almost nothing for arthritis.

I had to go back to enbrel so I can at least get to work.

If you just have psoriasis maybe its ok./"


"Medication is working well."


"I take 6 grains of Armour Thyroid. I do not swallow it whole, I let it melt under my tongue in order for it to become more readily absorbed. I take 2 grains 3 times a day in order for my body to have a continuous supply of the Thyroid hormone. I have more energy, am losing weight and no more depression."


"I usually get the yeast infection pill from my doctor, but it was so bad over the weekend that I couldn't wait. I decided to try monistat 1 and I have a love/hate relationship with it! It burned and itched so badly after inserting the ovule, but I'm not sure if part of that had to do with the cream. I ended up wiping the cream off with the cooling pads and not trying anything else to help with the itch. The itching and burning were worse than the original yeast infection but only for about a day. Other than that, it cured the infection and I am feeling much better! I will probably try the 3 day formula next time for less aggravation."


"Best medication for GERD on the market. It disappeared from South Africa in 2008 and I've had to take ranitidine since then. Ranitidine is not as effective and I would prefer to take Axid again but cannot get it."


"I really like Yasmin. I have been using it for nine months and it has been great. It has been great for cramps and I have only experienced slight weight gain (due to increased cravings). The only side effect I had was nausea. I experienced nausea when I took the pill and did not have food in my stomach. If I ate before taking it, it was great! Overall, I have had a great experience with Yasmin."


"Doctor did blood work and found I had Low T, started today with two tubes 1%. The smell is clean and barely noticiable.  Maybe different for different people.  Anyway I will post back."


"Best medication for social anxiety disorder with somatisation. I take 100mg of Zoloft, less side effects than other antidepressants."


"Abilify has worked wonders for me. I told my doctor that I just didn't seem to care if I did things or not, and that things just didn't bother me enough to make me want to fix them. She gave me Abilify and even though I had my doubts that anything would work, 3 days after starting taking them, I found myself not wanting to stay still long enough to watch a whole TV show, because I felt there was better things I could be doing. I have been cleaning, rearranging, and packing away things every day since it took effect. I have never been one to want to do stuff. I would do what needed doing, but nothing more. Now, I just want to do it all. Love this stuff."


"I have been great the last few months on synthroid until 2 weeks ago, started having chest pain, I can't take a breath, pulse is so low I can't find it."


"I was on MM for 6 years at 115mg.  I had clean UA's through this time.  I was prescribed some Librium by some ER docs due to a bad bloody nose caused by high BP and 3 months of drinking,  When the clinic I was going to found out, they dropped my dose immediately to 40 mgs and kicked me off their program 2 weeks later.  I had to go to another more expensive clinic and use heroin because of the withdrawal I was feeling.  I had to start at 25mgs and increase 5 mgs every 4 days.  I am on 40 it is still not working very well for me."


"I was skeptical about suboxone when I first heard about it, thinking it was just getting high off of one drug to replace another, but I was wrong.  Suboxone is actually working well to help get my life back in order.  It keeps me from having bad detox, controls my cravings, and also has some sedating, and sometimes annoying side effects, it does not flat out get me high like I originally thought it would.  Suboxone really is a serious treatment for opioid addiction and I strongly recomend it"


"Got the prescription of the hydroxyzine 25mgs on a Friday.  Picked up my prescription on my way to work.  I took 1 pill.  I felt great and energetic before I took the pill and probably about 30-50 min., I was in sleep mode.  On Saturday, I took a pill in the morning...  just to see if it was really the new meds that caused me to feel this way.  Yes, same thing happened to me.... I developed extreme dry mouth, extremely tired ( worse than a hangover).  All I wanted to do is go lay in my bed and sleep.  I stopped taking this medication.  I had to work on Sunday evening.  This pill would not get out of my system.  I drank 2 cups of coffee, chugged water...  couldn't get the zombie/sleepy feeling out of my body.  BAD BAD MEDICINE!"


"I used Claravis for 5 months and the results were amazing at first. However, I have been off Claravis for 2 months now and I'm getting stubborn cyst pimples and whiteheads again. I don't know what to do because I thought this was a "last resort" medication. I am going back to my dermatologist."


"I had been a smoker since I was 12 years old (serious smoker by age 16). I really enjoyed smoking and I never thought I would be able to quit. I had tried Nicorette, quitting cold turkey, Zyban and laser therapy - nothing worked. I always ended up going back.  I tried Chantix, and within 4 to 5 days noticed that I didn't have the craving any longer, and was forgetting to smoke. I have not smoked in 10 months - not even one cheat! I did visit with my doctor after a month, because I was worried about the side effects of depression. I stayed on the medication for 3 full months. By week 6, I cut the dosage in half, as I was having trouble with insomnia, & weened myself off the dosage at the end. The dreams are entertaining, the gas can be bad."


"I agree with the other ladies when they say -try it for yourself. I have never tried any other contraceptive, but I've had a great experience with Tri-sprintec. Of course the first month or two I had the nausea and I still wasn't "regular," but after those few months it's been smooth sailing. I have been on it for around 1 1/2 years now and it's been very successful. I haven't gotten pregnant, I know exactly when my cycle is going to start and end, and you cannot beat the price! I highly recommend it!"


"I dumbly took Botox for migraines after not researching the potentially dangerous and fatal side effects. Botox is a dangerous neurotoxin that can cause the symptoms of botulism if it spreads. This is exactly what has happened to me. Side effects included extreme muscle weakness, dropping eye lids, difficulty swallowing and breathing and as well as vertigo, ringing in the ears and burning and numbness in my arms and legs. Side effects lasted longer than the 3-6 months I was told they would by doctors. Do your research before trying Botox."


"It works well considering I didn't get pregnant.  My issue was I gained 30+ lbs and I was on it less than 1 year."


"I wanted to share my good news. I stopped my Saxenda about three weeks ago. I was on it for about 14 months, the doctor thought I was ready to go it alone. I started at 250lbs, I an 198 as we speak. My goal is 180. I have a protein shake each morning for breakfast, a salad for lunch and a one plate size dish for dinner.  The key is portion control, eat small sensible meals each time and you will be ok. Now I have to get to the gym. Good Luck To All!"


"Love it.  No side effects for me.  Arm was itchy for a while in the spot it was inserted and you can tell something is there but thats all."


"I am a female in her mid 20s. I've always had random breakouts due to hormonal changes and stress. Recently, my acne seemed to be getting out of hand and none of the at home treatments I was using helped. I have been using Epiduo for a little over 3 weeks now and I think my skin is just now getting used to it. At first, it really irritated my skin and caused it to burn, become red, and look swollen. I have no experienced any peeling like most other people have. I have to experiment with it a little bit, though. I just apply it to my forehead and chin, then bring the excess onto my nose. I use Cetaphil daily moisturizer for dry skin on top of the Epiduo. For the past week, my skin has been exceptionally clear and not nearly as irritated."


"Generic doxepin (25mg) helped wonderfully with my insomnia...at first. It's great for short-term use because it truly lets you sleep *as long as you want*.  However after about 3 weeks, I starting developing tolerance and began taking 50mg every night.  A month later and I was up to 75mg.  In months 4 and 5, I was taking 100mg every night.  With the increased dosage, so increased the unpleasant side effects ("hangovers" in the morning).  When I switched to a stronger sedative, I suffered withdrawal in the form of middle-of-the-night awakenings for several weeks.

One other note - it's not fast acting like newer drugs so I had to take it 2 hours before bedtime in order to feel sleepy."


"I take 5 milligrams as needed for school. I take it right before school, maybe around 6am, school starts around 7am. I've noticed extremely dizziness, I get hot so easily, even more anxious, so much more depressed, so tired, terrible headaches, and excessive talking. I wake up in the morning to bump into every possible wall, my vision is completely blacked out. I can't walk for more than a mile, without feeling faint. I eat well and drink lots of water (due to a horrible experience with Vyvanse, in which i lost 20lbs) Not only that but falling asleep is killer. I've never taken such a small dose, and have such poor results."


"I got real bad eczema shortly after having liletta inserted maybe 1 to 2 months after .... and it has only since gotten worse and I no longer have insurance to get it removed or get on another birth control .... be weary of this because it is no joy ride!! Extremely painful itchy skin!!"


"I took  2 Dulcolax around 1030pm, for constipation, with a pint of water. I woke just around 4am and went to bathroom, cramping and felt like I wanted to vomit and had a slight headache. The only thing that scared me was my hands clammed shut and my feet went numb.  I tried calling for my husband but my mouth seemed like it was also clamming shut. I tried to stand up but could not, cold sweat came over me. It lasted for about 20 minutes and now I am fine, good bowel movement. I might have to look for something a little gentler if I take a laxative again."


"I love it. It is a very effective product. I have had it for 1 year as of September 4th 2015. Bare with it! The beginning sucks. Spotting was insane, super long periods, and and back to back periods. After a few months, nothing. I haven't spotted or had a period in 3 months. My face is clear. No weight gain. Mood swings around the time I'm supposed to be on my period and minimal acne around that time as well. I've recommended this to many of my friends and they all say the same thing. If you can handle the initial spotting etc. It is perfect plus its changed every 3 years!!! Awesome."


"I had to leave work early today because, of how nauseous I feel. I have to work tomorrow too. I'm scared I'm going to go to work and, throw up. I didn't feel like this until the patch. Im currently laying down in nauseous agony. I feel extremely dizzy. I didn't really eat all day, I tried to eat some stuff but I started getting nauseous. I hope this patch will pay off but for right now I'm not happy with it. Really hope I can go to work tomorrow."


"This , dried my eyes out very bad and made them sore it also made my acne worse"


"Swelling, tingling feeling on my tongue and hives shortly after taking this product. I remember taking it for period pain in middle school and had little issues, now I must stay completely away from it."


"I've been occasional drinker for 10 years and that turned into another 10 years of everyday drinking. 1.5 L of wine or 350 oz of hard liquor together with  3 bottles of 0.5L of beer. Didn't have a willpower to quit on my own ( tried too many times). 500 mg of disulfiram (Antabuse) once a day along with 2 mg of Ativan solved my issue. I got my life back. I will recommend this combination to everyone who wants to get their life, dreams, family back. I would recommend not to chose a time, day or date (e.g. January 01, first day of each month or next day after birthday). Get those pills, wake up in the morning or on your way from work and just take that ONE pill!!!!"


"It really relieves my anxiety."


"I have been dealing with clinical depression since I was in kindergarten (I'm 41 now).  Have been on and off many different antidepressants over the years (mostly off because of the side effects and some making me feel worse).  Therapy never helped.  Have been on Celexa 20mg for last month- month 1/2 and it's working very well.  I have actually lost 11 lbs being on it because of loss of appetite.  The only side effects I don't like is increase headaches and decreased libido.  I do still feel sad and alone at times, but not as bad as I used to.  I am using Xanax a lot less too."


"Okay so I got my birth control in July of 2013 ! The first week I had a cold as an side effect ! After that everything was going smooth ! I got really light periods for a few months and then it eventually went away ! I weight 127 when I got on the BC! After the first year I was 144! And u am currently 161 ! This birth control has literally ruined my life! I was always very small with a fast metabolism ! I play sports and work out but the weight kept on coming in ! No matter how much I exercised or are healthy ! I begin to notice cellulite on my stomach and legs!! THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE BIRTH CONTROL ! I can't shake the weight !!! My arms have Increased in size ! Other effects (acne,mood swings, depression, laziness )"


"I am now on Day 14 of 20mg per day and every day has been awful.  Total fatigue, diarrhea, shaking body, horrible thoughts, lack of appetite, agoraphobia etc etc.  Sometimes around late afternoon into the evening I start to feel a little bit better.  I spoke to my doctor on Day 10 and he suggested taking the tablet at night.  I haven't managed to do that yet as I felt my body was craving the drug in the morning.  I have decided this morning to wait till night to take it.  I cannot help but think all of this is not worth it and I will never get any better."


"This medication worked like a charm. There were no negative side effects and I lost about 15 pounds on it. It controlled all my symptoms perfectly, and really helped me with my anxiety, mild psychosis and depression. I have a PHD and really appreciate how much this drug has helped me during my schooling. I did not relapse after I went off this drug. It has been 4 years since I went off this medication and I am symptom free."


"I have suffered from ADD/ADHD for all my life. I am currently 23 years old. I was on vyvanse (40 mgs, I am extremely sensitive to pills). I have tried about 5 different stimulant type medicines. Vyvanse really changed my life. I was able to transition from the food service industry to a Real Estate career. I got Mono, and had to stop the medicine while my body recovered. I really liked the way i felt off it. But i now feel as though my life is unmanageable. I don't like the feeling of being medicated so young with out any proof of long term effects, but i feel like i am drowning. I feel alone in my ADHD because its not something that people feel sympathetic toward. Vyvanse really changed that feeling."


"I got skyla on May 25th 2016 to help with a hormone problem and heavy bleeding. I was sleep when it was implanted so I do not know if that part hurt. But I have been up,down,happy,sad,angry all at once. I have had abdominal cramping 99% of the time since May 25th 2016. I'm not bleeding as heavy as I was prior, but I bleed lightly almost everyday. I have had a low sex drive, fatigue, nausea and night sweats. The past 2 weeks the cramping has gotten worse and as of 1/10/2017 it hurts when I walk or use the bathroom and my vision blurry and constantly vomiting. I am going to the ER today to get it removed It may work for some just not for me."


"5 weeks ago I had a full knee replacement.  The going was tough but I started taking celebrex and with therapy  I jogged down my driveway tonight.   (UNBELIEVABLE)  I stopped taking oxycodone.  I couldn't be more happier.  Now going back for a hip replacement.  All of this and I am 79 years old."


"I’ve been in various treatments for sciatica for the past year an a half. I’ve been in physical therapy for 14 months, tried dry needling, myofacasial release massage therapy, diet changes, prescription drugs, yoga, isolated/ active stretching & OTC icy hot & HO Capazain cream. My doctor prescribed this after the pain clinic refused to give me a steroid injection for pain relief. It’s more effective than anything else I’ve tried. I take a prescription drug for the pain and then put this cream on 4 or 5 times a day. Within minutes of applying it the pain dissipates & I’m pain free for several hours. This stuff works better than numbing yourself with ice. It helps the pain in both hips and my lower spine. I was given 3% strength & it rocks!"


"I have been on 20mgs of Lexapro for about 2 months now. I love it! I went from crying everyday and wanting to kill myself to being a normal person. It also relieved some of my social anxiety. I would definetly recommend it."


"the first month was horrible i was so moody and hated everyone it felt like. I am going back to discuss different options but this did make me very moody and gain weight. Also made me dry."


"I started treatment 6 months ago and have been rubbing this on my head twice daily. I have new hair growing on the top of my head and it is noticeable although it is very thin (partly because I'm blond). As for the front right and left I can see white peach fuzz. Overall for me and I stress me the cost vs results are unbalanced. I would recommend for others, as it does work but, takes a long time and is costly."


"I have taken Norco in increasing doses (though not above what my doctor recommended) since 2004.  Over the years I have tried a dozen or more medicines for my back pain, which is due to a L5/S1 herniation, and the only ones that have worked were Hydrocodone and Oxycodone - until the Butrans patch that is.  I started on the 5mg patch for a month, which cut my Norco intake in half.  I then was upped to the 10mg patch, which has cut my Norco down to about a pill a day for breakthrough pain.  It really helps - and I'm sleeping through the night for the first time in years since my medicines aren't wearing off at 2AM. Admittedly, I've only been on this for 6 weeks, but I am highly optimistic based on my early results."


"I sustained a lower back injury in January of 2008.  Obviously I was in severe pain, so I went to the ER.  The attending doctor who saw me prescribed Percocet for the pain.  This is an absolutely amazing pain medication.  The worst part is that I still have back pain that is still undiagnosed, and being only 25, find it almost impossible to find a doctor to prescribe this to me.  Even though it is the only thing that works.  I have tried Ultram, Vicodin and several other narcotics, but this is the only one that works.  "


"It works really well for my fibromyalgia/arthritis pain but had side effects due to aspirin."


"I have fibromyalgia and was in pain with body aches my Dr and I decided to use Cymbalta. I started at 30mg for a week then up to 60mg. The first day I felt a little strange I had no idea what it was the second day was worse and I wanted to stop taking it, so I found a site that talked about Cymbalta and Fibromyalgia most reviews said push through keep taking it you will be glad you did. I decided to keep taking the Cymbalta day three still felt strange but the pain was less

Because I wasn't sure I did the 30mg for 2weeks until I felt comfortable then I went to 60mg. I haven't felt this good in a very  long time almost like I don't have Fibromyalgia But I missed a dose and the pain was unbearable. I won't do that again. I love Cymbalta"


"Get ready for bed, sleep came fast and hard for me! I only take 50mg to sleep and it knocks me out every time. Can't imagine taking it during the day, I'd be a zombie."


"I have neck problems and been on Amrix for a month and it has done wonders."


"I am only 18 years old and had to take this for a Uti. This would be my 4th one this year and I haven't had any other problems with any of the other antiobiotics I've taken until this one. STAY CLEAR OF THIS!!! It is absolutely awful. I had to take it twice a day for 7 days and let me tell you this medication made me feel like RUBBISH  for all of the seven days. I dreaded taking this and everytime I took it I would have a minor breakdown and would gag just even looking at it. Like why would I purposely want to consume something that practically poisoned me. For seven days straight I had SEVERE nausea and i felt like I was going to puke all day, along with that, I had the worst pounding headaches. I couldnt even get out of bed the first 3 days"


"I have had the Mirena in for almost five years - this has been the best for quality of life. I used to be very unwell with endometriosis for many years - now I don't even get a period. I am 25 and without children. I have had some slight side effects of slight weight gain and loss of libido - however these I keep in check with exercise and an understanding partner. Worked for me - hope it can for you."


"am on my 8th day of taking phentermine, and I have lost 10lbs. I had a little trouble getting to sleep the first  day, but fine now. It does give you a lot of energy which was one of my problems and does keep you feeling FULL  My weight when starting was 189 and I am now down to 179 for a goal of 160-165 I am finally feeling strong enough to do the stepper at the gym for a longer period of time. I am so impressed with the medication from my Dr."


"I've been on Paxil for a few days now, I can already begain to feel it calming me down and controlling my attacks, seems each day I'm getting a bit better. I hope within the next two weeks it completely eliminates them like it has for so many others. Only time can tell I guess, just wanted to say that it is actually working and making me feel better so if you are suffering like I have my whole life (I'm now a 23 year old male) please look into this. This is the only thing I have found to actually do anything for me whatsoever. Don't live your life terrified you going to have a panic attack infront of people and fear losing your friends and life because of it. Make this move and talk to your doctor about Paxil."


"I started using these about 10 years ago for pain in my foot from a torn tendon. Now I am using for severe low back pain. This really works. It sticks fine as long as you smooth it on. You can tape it on as well. Also these patches can be cut to use in various places and to save money. I highly recommend"


"I take Cialis 20 mg at least 12 hour before sex surprisingly is more effective the I take it 3-4 hours before. I eat, drink couple of alcohol drinks too but it works all the time. Changed my sex life."

"I use to be addicted to xanax even though my first doctor in NC told me the drug was not addicted. I have gone from taking 3mg of xanax to almost not taking the drug at all.  I can focus much better and the sleep is unbelievable. A dreamlike state.  I sometimes sleep through my first alarm,  but eventually wake up.  At first I feel groggy, but after a shower I feel great. I feel like with any other drug your body builds up a tolerance and my doctor has gradually increases my dosage. This is a wonder drug for me.  I wish I would have known about it before getting addicted to xanax. The blurred vision eventually goes away."


"Where do I start? No sex drive, horrible attitude towards EVERYTHING, anxious, horrible cramps. I was on the pill for almost a year I felt fine but I wasn't always on time about taking it so I switched over to the implanon. For 10 months I got my period non stop. For some weeks it would be a light period, but still a period. Then for another month or so I would get heavy heavy periods with cramps that made it so hard to get up from bed. Which I had never experienced!!! I was so hard for me to want to have sex. I don't recommend this AT ALL and to top it off my Dr. didn't want me to get off it. Saying they could just give me ANOTHER HORMORNAL PILL to stop the bleeding. HECK NO!!"


"Received November 2015. At first, I didn't have a period until May. I did have light spotting here and there. Now I still don't have a regular period. I just get random, unpredictable bursts of blood. During extremely stressful times, I get nonstop heavy bleeding accompanied by cramps. I also gained 15 pounds and have severe acne which to me is the worst side effect.. I have never gotten acne before this. This is not just a couple of pimples, im talking about black/white heads covering the entire surface of my face. Will not go away. My facial skin texture feels and looks different. VERY moody! My bf hates my snapy moods"


"I TOTALLY agree with the comment about withdrawal symptoms...not worth it all for me."


"This medication worked immediately.  I do experience to odd taste, watery vision, and mild cough. I also still have to use eye drops though the day. My vision started to clear and I could see more clearly. Unfortunately, this did not continue to be the case. After 3 months, my eye doctor could see improvement in my eyes. Although, my insurance refused to approve the medication, we decided to continue its use and continue to try to convince my insurance to approve. Two months later, the medication has been approved by my insurance, although they won't pay anything on it until I meet my deductible, (praying that doesn't happen), and the medication no longer seems to be working for me. My vision is again blurry and cloudy."


"I've had great success with this medicine. I'm taking 500 mg per day. I've had a few bad incidents when my immune system  was low and I forgot to take Meds a couple of days.  I got the flu and had herpetic  seizures in my face. Another time in my left ear.  Both reactions were horrible with extreme pain and vertigo. Get on the medicine and stay on it for the least symptoms."


"I was prescribed Topamax many years ago... before they even offered a generic version and before they could legally prescribe it for obesity! So, my doctor prescribed it to me for migraines because I had a slight history of migraines but she said it would cause weight loss. Oh boy, did it! I was over 200lbs and in a size 18 pants, within 6 months I was in a size 8 pants! By the time a year rolled around, I was 103lbs and in a 00!!! No exercise! This is a wonder drug. I felt great! I had quit smoking, cut out all sugars and red meat, minimal alcohol. This medicine effects the addiction part of the brain as well as other areas. It's just amazing! I did warn my friends that I would forget sentences halfway thru; in 4 weeks no side effects."


"About five days after I took this medication, I my face slightly swelled. The other side effects to me include mild headache, low abdomen cramp, frequent urinating. The blood draw test does not show abnormal results in kidney and liver functions."


"I took miconozale 3 from CVS. The first two days I experienced some itching after the insertion of the cream, but my symptoms were improving and my period started after the second day. It's the third night and the burning is so bad that I'm clenching an ice pack between my legs and crying."


"I've had the nexplanon birth control since July 1, 2014. Overall I love it. It was inserted quickly. I don't have to worry about taking a pill every morning and I can have sex whenever. I haven't had a period since I had it in. I have gained a little weight and my mood swings are all over the place but its nothing I can't control."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for 2 years now and it worked great for about a year. Before the pill, I had horrible periods. Heavy bleeding for 5 days, cramps that shot down into my feet, nausea to the point of vomiting, etc. The first few months on the pill were bad, but I waited it out like my doc said to. Then I adjusted. I had lighter periods and my cramps were not so bad for the first year or so. But, the past few months my periods have been awful. I get cystic acne around my period that lasts forever, which I have never had before. Recently, I've started having two periods a month that last 5 days. I'm not bleeding heavy but the cramps are awful. Basically, it worked great for a year and now it sucks."


"I've only been on this med for a few days. I had a scope of my rt knee 5 months ago and the arthritis is advancing quickly and severely. In the past month I started having pain in my shoulders, wrists, and left hip. I'm a nurse and can not take opiods/narcotics for relief. I was taking more ibuprofen than I could count! I took my first mobic and not an ibuprofen since. I've been able to sleep, not be tied down by a clock for pain, and have more mobility than I've known in months! I'm grateful. I'm closely watching for side effects & scheduled lab work to check blood levels & liver function in 6 weeks. For the first time in a long time, I'm hopeful."


"Five because I never got pregnant, gained weight, spotted or lost my sex drive. However, my skin has been absolutely horrible the past 7 months on this pill. I had flawless skin before birth control. I also had flawless skin on the Nuva Ring. I wake up and dread seeing my face because I know there will be a  raised red bump(s). They never surface and are cyst like. I used to never wear foundation or powder, now I have to cake it on because I can't stand looking at the huge bumps. Beware.. As someone who had flawless skin until 19, this birth control can do a number on your face. Also, I have been extremely emotional and moody constantly."


"I was on Tri-cylen Lo for almost 9 years and my doctor forced me to stop because my BP was high. I miss this pill so much. My periods were consistent down to a time of day. I never had any issues with this pill and now after 4 months on a "less harmful" pill my BP is higher and I'm miserable. Lifestyle choices got in the way - not this pill."


"I finally talked my doctor into ordering Librax. I had heard about it before but never tried it....I have IBS, plus a bunch of unknown-cause bowel issues.....and the worst which is constant nausea.

Bentyl helped with cramps, not with nausea. Tried other meds that didn't work. My doctor suggested Donnatal.....not covered by insurance, and for one month it was over $700!! So frustrating!

Then he agreed to the Librax....I was SO happy, flew to the pharmacy to get it........NOT covered either! I got half of the script for $75 to see if it worked, and it DOES! Actually took my nausea away and let me relax for the first time in days! Now have to try and get the money to get the refill when I need it. :("


"I am 18 and have been on this for nearly a year now, and originally started this due to severe period cramps that became unbearable. It makes them less severe, but I still have them but it's bearable now. The only side effect is the breast pain and swelling. I get sore before the placebo week and my breasts have gone up literally 2 cup sizes, at first it was ok but now it's annoying. I haven't gained weight and I think I've lost weight instead so that's a plus considering the breast increase. For birth control it works well, just the breast soreness and delayed period on the placebos caused worry for a while, but now I know it's just the pill. Overall it works good and I'll continue to take it!"


"after searching for cause/solution to repeated near-nausea and upper intestinal cramps--matter what I did or didn't eat--my doctor after trying another med offered samples of brintellix.  I haven't had a cramp since I started the medication almost 4 weeks ago and after some early nausea, that also has gone away. I don't know if its because of the meds or because my guts don't hurt for the first time in almost 4 years--but my mood is also considerably better though I'm only taking a 5mg tablet. Now searching for alternative source. But I'll pay the $85/30 if thats what it takes."


"Good."


"Taking Embel once a week now (Started the day before Christmas 12/24/16). I have had Ankylosing Spondylitis for over 17 years but was misdiagnosed until 3/15. The doctors always told me that I had chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. It first started at @ age 37. I could hardly make it through a week without going in and getting IVs full of vitamins and saline. I finally came across a Nurse Practitioner who prescribed me vitamin B injections (twice a week), vitamin D (once a week), and Folic Acid  (Deplin - once a week). This really was helpful but the pain was horrific & I never felt right. And I had boughts with bad pain in my Achilles - left foot. There is more to my story but this site will not allow me to type it."


"My neurologist added Topamax to my tricyclic and beta-blocker in hopes that it would control my vestibular migraines (total balance loss). It failed completely, but its side effects included immediate impotence, decreased libido, and substantial difficulty finding words. My vocabulary for 3  syllable words dropped 50%. I sounded drunk."


"There's no such thing as a miracle cure for opiate addiction however when Subutex is taken as directed, withdrawal symptoms can be avoided completely and set you on your way to a drug free lifestyle."


"Thankfully I only took this med for a few weeks and at the lowest dose possible. I was taking .25 mg 2-3 times a day for a few weeks until my long term anxiety medication started to kick in. This medication truly does help for extreme anxiety and panic attacks but should only be used short-term. The use of this medication for any longer than a month on a daily basis is a recipe for disaster, this drug can be very addicting and is really hard to come off after long-time use. Luckily I researched this drug and knew this shortly after taking it so I was aware, because the doctors never informed me of the risks."


"I began taking Mononesse April 28th 2015. I was admitted to the hospital on June 10th with an arterial blood clot and hundreds of small clots in my right foot. It had cut off ALL blood flow to my foot. The doctors tried everything to get rid of the clots. They got the one in my artery to break up but couldn't get the ones in my foot as some were as small as a hair follicle. June 23rd I was in surgery having a below the knee amputation. I am 33 years old and been an athlete my whole life. So physically I have always been strong, so I expected no problems there. Whew, it is definitely a lot harder than what I expected. It has affected my entire life, as I have had to learn to do everything differently. No person should ever have to go thru it"


"works very well"


"It would be nice if there were a once daily extended release capsule. 3 times daily is hard.  Don't forget either."


"Since I started an Advair diskus regime many years ago - I rarely have to use my rescue inhalers.  In fact I lose more of them than I use.  The only negative is the cost - over $200 for a month's supply - that wasn't a big issue when I had a sweet low copay but all that has changed since the Affordable Healthcare Act (A nice oxymoron there !).  I was surprised to see Advair (actually under a different name, but still GSK's product) in Belize at just $55USD for the same dosage.  Can't wait for generics to hit the market."


"Worked well as an anti biotic however the side effects were very distressing .

Nausea . heart palpitations .

Severe anxiety and feelings of impending doom . Un steadiness . The worse S/e s were the awful feelings of fear which were out of proportion . I felt as if I was about to faint because of the anxiety . I felt very upset and tearful about half an hour after taking them and the mental symptoms just escalated for a few hours . I will report these side effects to the GP and hopefully there is an alternative if I ever need A/b s again for a severe chest infection ."


"Really in pain after using this cream."


"I am now able to not worry over stupid stuff and am way more cheerful!"


"My Doctor prescribed me this medication due to the fact I could not sleep at night. He warned me that I would have vivid dreams, but I haven't really.  I really like this medication as I can sleep through the night for the first time in years.  The only draw back is that it knocks me out cold, and the next morning I am really stiff from not tossing and turning all night.  I can live with that."


"I just got mine 2/12/2015 and I had quite a bit of bruising but nothing to worry about. No issues to start with. So far I have no period, acne, weight gain, mood, or sex drive issues. My only issue so far is itchiness. I haven't read this on any of the other reviews but I also have not read every single one. I hope this stops but I guess it's better than some of the other issues."


"This medication definitely reacts differently for everyone. This is my ninth birth control I've been on in my life. I used to get cystic acne terribly on my face and every birth control has had a different side effect for me. This one has been pretty bad. I no longer have terrible cystic acne on my face, but now it has appeared all over my back. Also, if you are taking depression medication, I really don't recommend. This has absolutely made me more depressed and I've also gained a lot of weight after almost 3 months of it. I think the pill makes me need to emotional eat."


"So it's been 6 days since I had paraguard inserted and let me tell you I'm doing a helluva lot better then day 1. The insertion was a pain I'd never felt before and had me thinking it's been placed incorrectly. I had chosen to get the insertion 4 hours before I was due in for work but inevitably ended up calling out. I laid on that table for over an hour trying to get the room to stop spinning so I could make the drive back home. Once I could finally stand I went straight home and curled up with a heating pad, ibuprofen and a glass of wine. I spotted the next day which lead to me bleeding heavily for two days. The bleeding has now pretty much stopped. I was able to have sex with my partner with no worries or pain. So far so good (:"


"I am on Zoloft 200mg. a day.  Have been taking Xanax 1mg. 3 or 4 x day.  My Dr. wants to switch me to Klonopin .5  2x day instead, but it does not seem to be helping.  I don't seem to feel any relief from the Klonopin."


"I have been on Trulicity for about 2 months now. It, along with diet and exercise, have helped me lose 12 pounds so far. I am only on the .75 dosage still. The first two days of taking this, I literally did not eat and forced myself to drink water. I just felt full, bloated and slightly nauseous. I typically feel nauseous after the first couple of days after my Sunday injection, but it wears off. I not sure why people are so surprised at their loss of appetite, what do you think the commercials mean when they say "while ____ is not intended for weight loss, it may help you lose weight". MANY diabetic medications have this side effort, and for a reason I believe. Morning sugars are MUCH better and I'm satisfied with Trulicity."


"I tried taking it for a total of 5 days and was so dizzy I was bouncing off the walls.  I felt very lethargic and couldn't even function.  I'd wake up in the morning feeling like I was 90 with all the aches and pains.  And worst of all, it didn't do anything to curb my appetite!  In fact, it made me hungrier!  I went back to my old buddy, Phentermine.  "


"Have had fms for 8yrs. Have tried all sorts of meds & have been on fentanyl 75mcg every 48 hrs for the last few years. Fentanyl for fms is like a heavy bat for the wrong ball but was the only bat available.

I have been taking Lyrica for 1 1/2 yrs now. Had 1st pain free days in years when 1st started. Unfortantely, still on fentanyl in addition because I cannot take more then 50mg a day of lyrica w/o it knocking me out. Tried to build tolerance over 3 wks w/o success. Have had wild vision changes also."


"This worked wonders for off shore sailing in our sail boat. It significantly reduced motion sickness!!! The only side effect was dry mouth. But who shouldn't be drinking more water? Especially when you live out of doors on a sail boat!"


"Gave me anxiety"


"My doctor has me on the six-month regimen. I am on my second month and have had to go to the ER five times since getting this injection. I don't recommend this to anyone I feel ill all the time. Very lethargic, very short of breath, heaviness in the chest, pains in my back and just overall horrible. I had my right ovary and fallopian tube removed due to severe endometriosis and the doctor recommended these injections and said I would have no problem and no buddy that she has treated his head any severe side effects so I guess I get them all. I've missed a lot of work almost losing my job because I just can't function on a day-to-day basis because of the medication. For any of you considering taking this medication please don't it is nothing but toxic"


"I had Implanon for 3 years and am now into my 2nd year of Nexplanon. I've had major weight gain, about 30 pounds, no acne. For the first year no period and then they became irregular. Same with my second one."


"I've tried many over the counter medicines for allergies. None come even close to working as well as Allegra-D. I also have suffered no side effects, including insomnia."


"Gave this to my kids and they were up with diarrhea all night. Lots of gas on the stomach, with cramping as well."


"My brother had a tumor 15 yrs ago removed after having a seizure. Takes 1000mg keppra a day. He has mood swings, diarrea if he does eat b4 so, and delusional. Still effective.

I started having anxiety attacks n seizures at 24yrs of age. Neurologist perscribed me keppra 500mg daily and 2mg xanax a day when needed, usually I break xanax into pieces as u can because they have little bars to do so. I don't have any side effects besides feeling sleepy at the end of the day. I don't take xanax til after work at the end of the day as xanax does makes me sleepy. Keppra deserves 10 for me. But my brother rates it 7. Every one is different. I know this is for keppra but XANAX is not for anyone a lot of people can't handle the drug and can't control themselves let doc determine."


"I've been on this birth control for about 2-3 years I would say, it is great for preventing pregnancy, but it has made my period weird, it stopped my period for 5 months, and stressed the hell out of me, I do feel incredibly tired taking this pill, and my sex drive isn't as high as it use to be before this pill. I'm deciding I'll probably be going off this pill."


"As a 44 year old male, who recently went for treatment of this problem.  I went for almost 43 with always knowing that something was missing. Being a over achiever I made every attempt to complete everything but never really completed anything. This drug has changed that. It allows me to focus on the task that I have in front of me and complete it. Which has been a breath of fresh air for my job, my marriage and my kids."


"My little son took that POISON for less than 2 weeks two years ago. He is still suffering with bad side effects like tics, anxiety, anger, sensitivity to light, symptoms of autism sometimes, feeling tired, changes of mood and behavior problems. :(  It is devastating. I am sorry for all the kids who took it or are taking that drug and I am also sorry for their families."


"Epitol has helped me immensely. It pulled me out of a manic phase (after withdrawing from lithium, which didn't work) and has helped me from going into a deep depression."


"started Seroquel at night combined with Effexor during the day for bipolar and it's changing my life and saving my marriage. Where I used to have one good day a week, I have one bad day a week. Upped from 50mgs to 100mgs because it's effectiveness wore off mid day and recently added topamax because I've been attempting to lose weight (I have not gained, but it's harder to lose)."


"I have been on Micardis HCT (telmisartan/hydrocholorothiazide) for over 5 years.  Lately my urine output has been less and I've developed a cough and leg cramp.  The leg cramp I assumed was from strain from exercise and the cough from dust due to construction work in the neighborhood.  However, after both conditions subsided the symptoms were still there. I checked the post marketing experience for Micardis and these symptoms were adverse signs.  Will consult with my physician as the warning says these symptoms should be reported immediately."


"Been on it about four months.  Getting it removed very soon. Bleeding on and off alot and have extreme nausea and migraines with it."


"My wife has a very aggressive cancer that started in the uterus (removed a 2.5 lb tumor last June) which had metastasized to the lung and elsewhere. She was stage 4 at diagnosis. Two chemo drugs did not work. After a bad spell at Christmas (including kidney failure) they were talking about hospice but also wanted to try votrient. The votrient resulted in visible tumor shrinkage within 24 hours. We have continued with the votrient and after six weeks the lung tumors shrank by 20 and 30 per cent.

The doctor tells us we may get one more good scan and then it may stop working. But the reprieve has been sweet and things are going in the right direction.

She takes 3 pills (600mg) not 4. About the fatigue: she gets some low dose Ritalin."


"I started taking Complera before it was even on the market during its Phase III clinical trials. I've been on the Edurant/Truvada combination for more than 5 years now with very minimal side effects. The medication is extremely effective in quickly getting your viral load to undetectable levels. My only concern with this medication is that it has caused consistent mild to moderate abdominal pains. Mostly bloating but sometimes diarrhea and nausea. "


"This medicine seemed to work well for a short period of time for a friend as well as myself. Now I find that if I increase my dosage drastically or decrease my dosage drastically (over 20 units) it will help get my blood sugar where I need them, according to my doctor."


"I have been taking this medicine for about two weeks. It is very effective in controlling my acid reflux. I do see in a post that someone is taking this three times per day. That is excessive and perhaps dangerous. Proton pump inhibitors have been implicated in osteoporosis, so I think once a day is sufficient."


"I have always had constipation I am now pregnant  I haven't been to the bathroom over 2 weeks I took one pill 5:30 pm I woke up with serve cramps and vomiting I mean very painful about 5:00am I use the bathroom like I never have before this pill is awesome !!!!"


"I got the Paraguard 2 years ago. The insertion process wasn't bad I had mild cramping during insertion and strong menstrual cramping after which lasted 2 days max. I experienced very heavy bleeding for about 4 to 6 months.  I had to wear thick pads and often bled through. After approx. 5 months the bleeding began to normalize. I like the fact that Paragard is very effective however my complaints are overactive bladder, break-through bleeding and long periods. My periods last 9 to 16 days. I consulted my doctor on my concerns and was informed that this is normal and within the side-effects of the paragard. Although my bleeding isn't heavy anymore, I dislike that it last so long. I am contemplating having it removed"


"I've just recently had 19 teeth pulled all at once and absolutely couldn't sleep at night. I was given 750 mg of Vicodin (Hydrocodone) and now I can sleep.  It takes the pain away but only lasts for 3 hours at the most.  I sometimes get a headache from it and have suffered from constipation.  All in all, the relief you feel from severe pain is well worth it. Do not drive while taking this medication. It makes some people sleepy and slows down your reaction time."


"I have chronic back pain (9 years plus), and had surgery. Been on all pain medicines through all that time. From Vicodin all the way up to Dilaudid and Fentanyl. Even though nothing is going to take away all the pain, I found that Dilaudid 8mg works the best. Most of the time about 80%."


"So, since I started my diet which consists of eating better, constipation has been an issue. I made the grave error of purchasing this medicine. I took ONE out of the suggested dose of three tablet. This was around 8:00 p.m. Around 10:00 p.m or so, I was feeling unwell and decided to go to bed early. To sum things up, I was constantly on the toilet from 12:00 a.m to about 5:00 a.m when I finally decided to try to head to my bed. I've had diarrhea before, but never to this level where it's thin like liquid and constantly comes out (even when I was half asleep on the toilet). Please trust me on this. Constipation is ten times better than shitting your intestines out with a merciless sickness."


"This is the best birth control I've been on. No weight gain at all. And it doesn't make it hard to lose weight. My boobs have gotten bigger. My skin is so clear I get compliments on it ( i used to have bad acne). And most importantly, no babies. I have sex with my SO without condoms so I know it works. I know exactly when my period will come every month.  That's a relief because I used to get my period anywhere from every 2-9 months apart.

Only side effects is occasional nausea on the first week of each pack. And random headaches but that's not often."


"I suffered severe and excruciating pain, sensitiveness to light, nausea, vomiting cold sweats every morning due to migraines.  I tried almost every pain medicine in the book and only found relief when the Dr. prescribed Naprosyn, I can't remember the dosage, sorry.  But it was a 12 hour pill so I was able to take it at night and not have to wait 20 minutes of pain like other medicines to kick in. it really was a God send for me!"


"I had the Kyleena inserted about 4 months ago and I am very happy with the results. I am only 18 years old and have never had sex or children so I will say the insertion was incredibly painful because I am not used to anything going inside me besides a tampon. The cramps afterwards only lasted that same day and were bearable and pretty much gone 24 hours later. I have only had one period since the insertion which was the whole point of me getting it because my periods came more than once a month and were very heavy. Since getting Kyleena I have very dull and barely even painful cramps during a period and not as much vaginal discharge either. I will say periods become a bit unpredictable but I haven't even had it a full year yet."


"I was skeptical at first but I went to sleep at 12 then woke up at 5:50 to take the most massive liquified dump ever. It didn't feel horrible and didn't feel bad. I weighed myself before and after and lost 3 lbs in waste and water. That was the first restroom experience. Apparently it lasts 2 days so hopefully it'll be in time for my testing for the army haha."


"Effective at preventing pregnancy. My skin was perfect on this pill. However, I was very tired, moody, and had increased amounts of discharge which is finally what made my doctor switch me to a new birth control pill. Didn't affect my sex drive though."


"Before I started Toprol XL I had migraines everyday for a year I had no idea that I had high blood pressure and it wasn't really high it was borderline. Anyway I started taking the Toprol and my migraines decreased and the palpitations seemed to stop after about a month. I ended up only taking Toprol for 8 months and I had no more migraines or palpitations and of course my blood pressure was under control. It stayed that way for about a year and a half until I became pregnant and that seemed to trigger it all back. But I did the same thing and am fine now and I never experienced any side effects."


"I was in an auto accident that left me in a Coma for 38 days & was told by all 5 of my orthopedic Dr's I'd NEVER STAND OR WALK AGAIN. 6 mo. Later I took my first steps! I broke both hips both femurs (thigh bones) in 2 places, shattered both tibia & fibula (shin bones) & both knees. I am titanium rods the length of the bones, wires, nails & screws. I was on 4 different pain Narcotics every 2 hrs. The ONLY ONE THAT GAVE ME RELIEF WAS THE DILAUDID! None of the oxy 's or even the 100mg Morphine phased me. Now I'm on Percocet 10-325 & 100mg Morphine. Percs just knock the edge off but gives me the energy to keep moving. I WANT MY DILAUDIDS BACK & KEEP MY PERCS FOR MY BREAKTHROUGH. THEY HELP ME LEAD A PRODUCTIVE LIFE! 2yrs on "


"Taking ambien as (exactly) prescribed has been a tremendous help to me. I get sleep, without waking up several times a night. I feel refreshed for a day of anything!"


"I Took just one tablet, i was rushed to hospital I could not even pick my hand up. Sadly someone gave me a 2nd dose in hospital the next day, 20 mins later I went into.. ANAPHYLAXIS SHOCK .. I had 8 Drs round my bed doing so many things. Thank GOD for those  8 Drs ACTING so FAST. Had I not been in hospital that day. I would not be here now to tell my Story. I was told is was a very close call even though I was in hospital.

This was a truly Terrifying thing to happen. I am now so scared to take any antibiotic.

"40 mg for 1 yr and 4 months. Remain on low dose clonazepam , and Ambien for sleep. Add weekly DBT group, counseling and exercise. Medication has helped reduce anxiety to manageable/tolerable levels. Diarrhea for couple weeks at first, libido killer, erection possible, orgasm takes effort/hours. Daily dosing schedule needs to be adhered to or you will feel it. Can cause sleeplessness. I'm not nearly as anxious, but often feel blunted and/or detached. 20 yr love/hate history with SSRI's and SNRI's...dread both going on them and coming off but they do level out the emotions. Sexual side effects for me/partner are a bummer. Insurance made sure at least two other SSRIs tried first."


"I had breast augmentation and was prescribed this. It took the pain away, and made me energetic and productive, but it also gave me appetite loss and gave me frequent upset stomachs. If I took it close to bedtime, it would keep me up at night. I frequently would get dizzy and lightheaded. I liked it for the initial energy."


"I was given a Rx for Predisone to help alleviate bursitis in my hip.  After taking the Z pack for 4 days I started have rapid heart rate.... I called the doctor and he said to go to the emergency room, I was admitted to hospital with a HR of 180.  After several days of trying different options  they decided to use the electrical shock method,   doctor tried it 3 times and he said it still did not get into right rate,  he called another doctor that specializes in the "electrical" part of the heart and he started me ton Tikosyn and Eliquis and within 4 hours my rate was normal.  Then I had to stay in the hospital for 3 more days   (7 days total).Having problems with feet  & leg swelling and getting my diabetes back in acceptable range."


"I've had Skyla for about two months now. After insertion, I had really bad cramps (I'm pretty tolerant to pain but this was these were worst cramps ever).

My flow hasn't really changed that much except I have spotting for about three days after I would normally stop bleeding.

I have gotten my period twice since getting skyla, and I've had pretty bad cramps both times, as well as nausea.

Hopefully everything will adjust soon so I don't have to be in such discomfort. But overall I think it was worth it since it is one of the best forms of birth control and I don't have to remember to take it everyday!"


"I have severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  I sleep so much but barely got any real deep sleep.  Add chronic pain and I no longer had a life.  I'm only 31. I do not take strong addictive meds because I don't believe in them.  However,  I was prescribed this from my doctor.  1x 4 mg tabs at night,  1 x 2mg for naps during the day.  I was sleeping 2-4 days straight before! Now I sleep less but it's real sleep.  2 or 3 naps a week to sustain me plus real 8 hrs at night.  It's great. However with research , I will be very careful with it and come off it slowly when i no longer need it...  I don't believe in cure-all drugs.  But this has given me a little piece of my life back! So far so good."


"Byetta is my life saver. It not only lowered my blood sugar levels but has helped me lose weight with only mild side effects (nausea). I have lost 28 pounds in three months and my appetite it way less than it used to be. It is expensive but as they say you get what you pay for."


"I was always someone with underlining anxiety about anything. Stupid things like where is the bathroom or how hot will the airplane be. I hated flying, be passenger in cars but even with all these silly things, I never had any physical symptoms.

No one know what anxiety is unless you experience the debilitating physical symptoms of it. I was an absolute mess. Was put on Celexa 10mg right away and it simply was way too much to jump on. I stopped after 4 days and freaked out thinking I was going out of my mind.
Then I reluctantly started Lexapro after seeing my first Psych. He started me on 2.5mg and went up to 10 within 6 weeks. Finally a year later and total CURE! No more anxiety. You'll love this medicine."


"Update to review below. I have now been on Effexor XR for six months, and I can honestly say that it's worked wonders in eliminating my depression and obsessive thinking. I wasn't able to stay on the low 37.5mg dose, as I discovered that this is a starting dose only. I have been on 150 mg for about four months, and apparently this is the lowest effective dose for achieving a therapeutic effect for most disorders. My depression has gone, and I no longer have obsessive thoughts that were making daily life a living hell. The only drawback with Effexor XR is that it has low half life, which means that it doesn't stay in your system for long, and if you miss a dose you will feel withdrawal within a few hours. This medicine has been a life saver!"


"Don't do it.  I went on this birth control because I was sexual active and I wanted something that would also minimize my breakouts. I would typically get a pimple a month. Towards the last week of taking this pill my face broke out worse than it ever has. I had thousands of pimples. It was a mixture of small pimples which are called comedo and big cystic pimples along my jawline. I read reviews saying that you have to stay on the pills for at least three months then things will balance out. I took the pill for another month and things started to get even worse. I was so depressed and anxious. I stopped after my second pack and my face immediately started to improve. If you're not reacting well just stop don't wait. I'm now on lo Loestrin fe"


"I have been on Abilify for 5 years. I take 15 mg. Abilify has changed the quality of my life for the better. I take this pill when I can't sleep."


"Had an elderly aunt that lost her appetite and was down to 82 pounds. Doctor told her if she loses anymore weight, she will need to be hospitalized. After 3 months, she is now up to 100lbs."


"Day one nauseous. Day two vomiting. Oh my gosh day 3) Diarrhoea three times horrible and night time bad aches and pains. Now I've had sepsis worst pain ever say a 10/10. Amoxicillin 6/10  for pain can't sleep helps if you sit up at night  try distracting yourself by reading!"


"Been taking Arimidex for nearly 6 years now. Side effects for me are joint & bone pain, weird feeling in my chest that wakes me up. Weight gain, hair thinning & occasional hot flushes. I take calcium tabs and alendronic acid for my bones. Apart from that I'm grateful to be alive."


"Taking 1 150mg XL tablet a day...  I began to notice a difference in just a few days...  I have come leaps and bounds from the saturated overwhelming feeling of depression in just two months.   I am so glad I found something that works!  Not only do I feel more energetic with a positive feeling of wellbeing... My anxiety has improved drastically as well... Or perhaps I just mistakened the racing thoughts and worries for anxiety when they were actually a part of my depression?   Either way, I haven't felt this mentally stable in years!  I feel normal again... So glad I reached out for help instead of continuing to live that way...  My relationship with family have improved as well... Very happy!  :)"


"I've been having UTIs for 7 years, my most recent one has lasted 24 days so far. Because of this I went to the doctor and they prescribed me pyridium twice a day. I was very hopeful but unfortunately it didn't work. The burning while urinating is still there and I've been on it for three days so far. Also discomfort all hours of the day down there. It may work well for others but my body doesn't accept it, it did nothing. Going to the doctor was useless, go straight to the urologist"


"The worse thing ever ! Gaining weight, depression, back pain and cramps!

I totally regret and I do not recommend!

I can't wait to to have it removed ASAP!"


"Implanon never caused any of these problems!!! Headaches, constant bleeding, no sex drive, hair loss, weight gain, cramps, mood swings, depression. The sooner it's gone out of my arm the better!"


"Made my heart race, had to see a cardiologist."


"I have been taking Loestrin 24 for a year now, and have to say that it is amazing. I'd been through three birth control pills before this one, which all lead to serious infections and had little effect on my extreme PMS symptoms. Since starting Loestrin, I have had shorter, lighter, predictable periods. To have one last for more than four days is rare, and I am able to continue my active lifestyle which was inhibited by unbearable cramps that would keep me in bed for several days before. I have not experienced any weight gain as a side effect of this medication. However, I did, and continue to, notice a change in mood on my "off" days, which can be best described as generally sad and down."


"I started feeling better within the hour   but as the night progressed I had a stomach ache and non stop diarrhea. I guess you can't win every time."


"I've had Nexplanon for 2 months now. I was really worried about all the side effects I read, but I took the risk anyway. I was mostly worried about weight gain. So far, I haven't had any issues with that. I've actually lost weight. My biggest side effect is how much it affects my emotions. It is crazy out of control. I haven't had much issue with periods. I got a really heavy one for 7 days straight a couple weeks after I got it in. Then a month later a very light/spotty one for about a week. I'm hoping the periods will go away all together! There is also a lot of nausea for me. But with all of that aside, its perfect. I'm hoping the side effects will calm down soon. I would definitely recommend it."


"I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. I know that everybody's body is different but if anyone has had the same experience I have had I feel super bad for them. I thought I would try the nexplanon out and the first few weeks went great. I have had it in for over two months now and it has caused depression, anxiety, and me to bleed every single day. It's effected my stomach and made me nauseous even. It's been so bad that I went to the doctor because I thought I was suffering from post partem depression but my baby is 5 and 1/2 months and I have not had it at all up until this point so it didn't make sense. Come to find out it's been this birth control. I am normally always happy but this has effected me bad. Just don't get it."


"I have been taking venlafaxine for about a year now. It has helped greatly with my anxiety. I take 37.5MG twice a day. I weaned myself off of it after taking it for the first 3 months because I was losing my medical benefits and wasn't able to afford the cost of it. The side effects were bad, extreme dizziness and nausea. I have had a lack of libido also which definitely puts a damper on the love life. I've also gained about 30 pounds but I'm actually happy about that side effect since I've been a 5'10 twig most of my life."


"Started methadone a week ago. Have been suffering with severe chronic pain after breaking my back three years ago. So far this is the best medication for pain relief I have ever taken. I am hoping the sleepy (can't keep my eyes open) side effect goes away once I'm on it for a bit longer."


"Didnt work. Hit my anxiety to the max in just 4 days. "


"Love it. Makes you forget all about the pain, due to surgery. "


"I haven't experienced any of the negative side-effects (admittedly it hasn't been very long, but supposedly the first three months are worst). I have noticed less intense period cramps and decreased flow, which is nice. I guess I'm one of the lucky people that doesn't get the negative effects, or at least they aren't any more noticeable than regular stress. I am getting it through my college health center, so it's cheaper as well."


"The results I get from Dulcolax are very unpredictable.  I always take 1 tablet.  Sometimes it just does its thing in one day or so with no appreciable side effects.  At other times I get fairly nasty cramps and the soft stools for days, which tends to dehydrate and make me feel fairly "energy free".   My recommendation is to take 1 tablet and see how it goes.  If cramps are severe, talk to your doctor before increasing the dose."


"Just the other day, my doctor informed me that I had chlamydia. I got the azithromycin 500mg that was prescribed to me. It was such an easy process. I really like how I only had to take the pill once instead of every few hours. I DID pick up diarrhea, but I think it's just your body trying to flush everything out. I recommend it."


"This medication made me very nervous and depressed. Almost like the effects I had from oxycodone. I had to stop taking it after 4 days."


"Just got Skyla yesterday. Didn't feel anything during insertion. I actually asked the Dr if that was really it when she said she was done. Went and got lunch after and started to cramp about an hour insertion. The cramps have been like strong period cramps since then. Just a little spotting afterwards but nothing today. As long as the cramping dies down after a couple of days, I think I will be in love with this form of birth control."


"My teen daughters were diagnosed with Fibromyalgia before I was. I did tons of research to help them and stumbled on Dr. St. Amand's Guaifenesin Protocol as well realizing that I had a lot of the symptoms as well. We went to Marina del Rey to see the doctor himself and were diagnosed. That was over a year ago. Guaifenesin has helped us all immensely. My daughter was dancing competitively and then couldn't do anything. Now she is dancing again, getting better all the time. My youngest has had her IBS symptoms disappear! You really have to follow the protocol as written, by removing salicylate products and taking long acting guaifenesin. I suggest getting the book, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia." Read it to understand."


"Magic. I actually used it for congestion/flu."


"I began taking mscontin 30mg twice daily about 11 years ago due to a chronic pain condition caused by , in a large part , by lack of treatment due to no insurance. About 2 years into being on this medication it was increased to 60 mg twice daily and , 2 years ago , 100 m twice daily. This medication has always kept my level of pain at a point where I could function in a manner where my quality of life increased , although I am unable to work because my left arm is basically useless. It's main drawback for me is that like with all opioids tolerance does occur and dosing increases are sometimes necessary. I also take , for BT pain , tylenol #4 , 1 or 2 tabs every 4-6 hrs when required I would personally recommend this medication to anyone with chronic pain issues."


"I began taking this pill in December 2014 and stopped taking it after I finished my third pack. My breasts were continuously very tender throughout the entire time. The first month I did not have a period and I had two light periods per month after that, however, I did not have any cramping. I also had slight weight gain and ance and extreme hair loss."


"Had first Prolia shot 9 days ago and it has been debilitating. Will not get another! It is not worth the pain and discomfort. I have had major bladder problems, chills, fatigue, all the bones in my back ache, I can't sleep at night. I have to take Advil to relieve back pain or I can't function. Can't leave the house for long because of bladder issues. I called my Oncologist about possible bladder infection and was promptly advised that was not a side effect of Prolia even though bladder issues was listed as a possible serious side effect!  I hope I don't have to suffer from this one shot as long as others have - it is truly life style restricting. I wish I had read these reviews before getting my 1st (and ONLY) shot."


"Not only do I have diabetic neuropathy, I also have nerve damage on both sides from total loss of L5S1 disc.  I could not live without Lyrica.  Just don't miss a dose, it's not pleasant. Lyrica doesn't stop it all, but I know how much it does stop and won't ever be without it"


"I couldn't tolerate these vitamins any longer than a few days! They smelled horrible and I began noticing that I tasted this smell in my mouth and my skin also smelled just like the vitamins!! It was unbearable along with nausea, and stomach upsets pain etc! These were not for me!! I'm not sure what this overpowering smell is but I just can't handle it!"


"I have been prescibed Spiriva for almost 7 years and have found a marked improvemment in my breathing and ability to carry on a normal active day. I have not experienced any adverse side effects the only effects have been totally positive. I don't think I can give it up now. As far as cost goes, my HMO covers it. I think its a great medicine. Thank you the inventor."


"This medicine has helped my jaw to relax, relieving a lot of the pain. More Doctors should be aware of TMJ and its effects!"


"I have been on Entyvio for 13 months. It doesn't seem to be helping the diarrhea or urgency.  I am fatigued, all the time. I am having LOTS of joint pain and weakness (fingers, wrists, toes, ankles, knees.)  I trip/fall because my ankles roll, I drop things because my fingers won't keep a grasp. I have been tested for RA - negative.  I don't think it is working, but my GI wants to try infusing every 4 weeks instead of every 8 weeks.  To me Entyvio is not worth the side effects."


"My Anxiety had crippled me to a state which my life could no longer function. The first few days on Lyrica I noted a sense of euphoria and confusion but by the 4th day I found myself able to think about  trigger points for my anxiety and was almost in awe of how it didn't raise its head. It seemed like anxiety had left my body, to the point where I had to look in a mirror and say "why did you care about all that so much?" Almost in disbelief of my previous behaviour, not being able to connect with those feelings or attitudes became freeing. lyrica gave me my life back it seems. Importantly, I'm still me. Friends and family all commented how much better I am without losing personality which i believe is one of the best qualities of the drug."


"I have spinal stinosis and have tried the gontlet of pain relievers.  I have found Norco to be one of the best that I have tried.  I take one number 10/750 every 6-8 hours and I find it keep's me feeling the best I can with the condition I have."


"I have ongoing difficulties with reactions to many foods..constant stomach aches, bloating, constipation, cramps, diarrhea, frequent bowel movements...this med has created more of the above and gives me a headache.  I really have no idea if I should stick with it for the 4 - 6 weeks to see if the lining of my gut will heal? I'm desperate and disgusted with my condition, and the lack of response to this "medicinal food"."


"A sudden fit of nonstop coughing landed me at doctor's office.  Nothing over the counter helped.  I felt like my ribs were cracked and pain was awful.  My Dr prescribed Tessalon Perles 100 MG. No more cough and no side effects.  I am back to normal.  "


"I started as a 220 lbs 6' man. I look good with a shirt on, and don't experience any social stigma for my weight, but knowing my BMI puts my ideal weight at 185. I decided to try this for a month and lose some Flab.
First two weeks were amazing. No altered mental status, no insomnia, just a little headache. It prevented food and alcohol cravings, it gave me the incentive to workout before work. So far, so good. After the 15 day mark, it considerably lost its effectiveness. Near the end (30 days total) it didn't have any effect whatsoever. I partook in all the Christmas feasting. I stopped cardio and started partying again. By the end, I was down to 205lbs, but its deceptive. I looked no different, and now am getting worse craving than before."


"I take hydrocodone 10mg/325MG.  Of acetaminophen.   I have bulging disks in my lower back on my spine and they hit certain nerves.  I have had a great experience with this medicine.   I don't have any side effects except for some itching.  It allows me to function and continue to work a fast paced job where I'm on my feet.  You just have to careful to not take more than prescribed because most people don't realize how addicting it can be.  Read the papers that you get from the pharmacy and ask questions.   If used correctly this drug is very beneficial."


"Caused hair loss"


"My biggest problem with this birth control is I have absolutely no sex drive. It really has gotten to the point where my husband thinks I don't love him. I try, but it's really awkward when you simply have no interest. It's due to be taken out in December and I'm praying that things turn around. This is obviously how the drug works, you can't get pregnant if you don't have sex!"


"I took 3 tbsp and it worked like crazy within 2 hours for me. So far I have been back and forth in the bathroom for 7 times. I drank some more water after the 5th time and it made me run back twice more. If I ever have to use it again, I will only take 1tbsp."


"My doctor swapped me onto this medicine because I was getting married and hoping to have a more "baby friendly" medicine in case I got pregnant in the near future. On cyproheptadine, I felt like the medicine took some of the edge off my chronic migraines.  The intensity lessened, but I saw no significant change in migraine frequency. I was taking 12mg per day.  But oh, the side effects! First, I felt this perpetual restless agitation. Second, I was hungry absolutely all the time.  I have a great deal of self-control and was able to keep things at bay for a while,  but my weight kept creeping up. In 6 months, I gained 15 lbs (my normal, very stable weight is 120lbs, so this was a lot for me). Eventually decided this one wasn't for me."


"I've been on this medicine for almost 2 weeks now. It has made me have spotting but I haven't really experienced anything else. I haven't had much of an appetite though, but hey, I'm not complaining."


"Got my kyleena on July 20 (4 days ago). Doc gave me misoprostol to insert the night before insertion and I took 800mg of ibuprofen an hour before. Insertion was mostly just uncomfortable, one bad cramp when she inserted the IUD 3 or 4/10 on the pain scale but only lasted for about 5 seconds. Went back to work right after, and had since cramping the rest of the day and took some more ibuprofen before bed. I spotted for a day or two but I was on my period when it was inserted, so if anything it seems to have stopped my period. Had sex yesterday, 3 days post-insertion and was totally normal. Partner said he could feel the string a few times at some angles. So far so good!"


"Instead of helping my headaches, cymbalta made them worse. With each dose increase, the severity of the pain increased, and so did my weight. In the year that I was on cymbalta, I gained sixty pounds. When I passed my pregnancy weight at nine months, I had finally had enough and took myself off. Never again!"


"Worked well after 5 days. Best if taken with cup of yogurt to avoid abdominal cramping."


"Been on Victoza for a month.  Nil side affects. Weight is down 8 pds.  Cravings gone.  Perfect drug but still not seeing better glucose, still running in 200s.  Hope the second month brings better control."


"No side effects. Reached undetectable in less than 3 months (never been treated for HIV / new ART treatment)."


"review is for Hydrocortisone 1% ointment only. Target Up and up brand, 2 oz, 6dollars. ointments are more potent than cream versions, especially if you use some kind of dressing or salycic acid(i never tried both). I used this on my body, but it has significant effect on my ear DERMATITIS, cleared up the flakeyness, and dryness. But doesnt stop the itching though. This ointment is extremely greasy, because of the petroleum."


"I suffered from UCI for close to a year.  Non stop hives with no relief other than steroids.  After many allergists one finally suggested xolair.  It was covered by my insurance (BCBS).  I had 3 shots, 1x per month for 3 months.  It's been a year with no issues and I no longer need Xolair.  Thank You to the prople who created Xolair.  It changed my life!!"


"Had first series 6 months ago and had to wait the full six weeks for relief. I would say that the pain subsided at that point but not completely. I have just completed my second series six months later and the relief was immediate and complete. I am pain free! Had some headaches at the back of my head but nothing bad enough that I would not continue with this life changing experience."


"My doctor put me on Xanax XR 2 mg and I have never felt better anxiety wise. I take it once a day in the morning and I am good for the entire day. Since going on Xanax XR, I have only had one panic attack and that was before my dose was increased from 1 mg to 2 mg of Xanax XR. I recommend this medication to anyone with severe anxiety and panic attacks. I am currently disabled from my anxiety. I am hoping with my new medication regimen and therapy that I will eventually be able to go to college and work again. I also take regular Xanax before bed-time if my anxiety is too severe since the Xanax XR lasts me about 12 hours and I take it in the morning. I'm also on Risperdal, Paxil CR, and Propranalol for anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, and PTSD."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, herniated discs in my neck and lower back, deterioration of my spine, etc. I've been on soma and a pain med, for over 15 years. I take them only when my back starts spasming out. A combination of being in pain constantly and the fibro. They are the only muscle relaxer that works, and I can only take one brand, as the others make me nauseous. Whatever they throw in for fill. Now the DEA, is getting into all our business, and on the doctors backs. I've never had a problem with my meds, I'm almost 60 yrs old, and they want to take the only thing that works for me away! All because of certain idiots that Don't take it properly. I have a child to take of, which i cant do laying in bed."


"Most painful thing ever! Did not think it would hurt as bad as the doctor told mr! However, I do have low pain tolerance, I feel the worst I've ever felt! I think bc I never had a kid. Not something, you take on your lunch break!"


"I am an 18 year old male. I started Cymbalta 3 weeks ago for Generalized Anxiety. My anxiety got to a point where I couldn't even sit down and watch T.V or surf the internet without getting stressed. My stress started to control me. It was controlling simple decisions, it controlled what I did! I started to avoid everything that would possibly stress me out. It became a viscous cycle. Even things like simply playing my guitar or attending my college classes was becoming difficult to do without getting anxious. NOW after taking Cymbalta I feel like I have the opportunity to be myself again, and without worrying about getting anxious or stressed! Now I control my anxiety, instead of it controlling me! Only side effect is delayed orgasm."


"This medication has improved my quality of life significantly. Since I went through premature ovarian failure and started menopause at age 38, by age 42, I had severe atrophic vaginitis which meant very painful sex and constant bladder infections. Sorry, I'm not giving up sex at age 42. Especially since otherwise I'm extremely fit and healthy. All the estrogen creams were a big mess and one of them even gave me a rash. A doctor suggested I try the vagifem and it was super easy, no mess and no reaction and solved my issues. I was happy and so was hubby.  Now if I could just get a generic. 8 tablets (1 month supply is $176!! And my insurance now has a $3000 deductible (thanks Obamacare) so I have to pay for it myself."


"I can't praise this drug highly enough. At the age of 59, I'm finally leading a level life - without quiting jobs in a rage, moving my family 1,400 miles to a house I'd never seen. Due to troubles with sleeping, I also take Seroquel."


"I really like NuvaRing. It's my first experience with birth control, and I've found it pleasant. For the first month, I got a pimple or two (which was likely unrelated). I also would suffer from a sense of anxiety before I fell asleep. However, my skin became PERFECT and anxiety went away after a month. The NuvaRing makes me a lot oilier than usual, but I actually prefer it; I usually have very dry skin/hair, and now it's more normal. Further, I've been able to lose like TEN POUNDS!
I deducted two points out of ten: one for the ring sometimes slipping and causing irritation, and another for the overall awkward experience of your partner finding a plastic ring inside."


"Really took away my muscle pain, but made everything else worse. My fibromyalgia was horrible. I had a fever for nearly two weeks, and was always nauseous. I loved the freedom from muscle pain but couldn't live with all the other side effects. "


"I’ve been on Vyvanse for 6 months and have slowly increased from 20mg to 40mg.  I’ve lost 24 pounds and plan to lose more.  I had the hardest time changing my eating habits after pregnancy and continued to eat more than I should have.  I gained the 34 pounds back that I had lost after giving birth to my son.  I ate large portions and didn’t realize it until after it was gone.  Vyvanse has changed my eating habits much more than I expected.  I eat very little and when I look at food, nothing looks appetizing not even crackers. I’ve started to experience issues with anxiety and depression and am worried that it is being brought on by Vyvanse as anxiety and agitation are side effects. Vyvanse works but listen to your body for signs of trouble!"


"This is the only birth control that I have used and it was recommended to me by a friend. I have been on it for over two years now and have had virtually no side effects at all. During my first month on it I spotted almost everyday, but after that I did not have a single issue with this pill. My periods are extremely light to the point where I have not even needed a pad or tampon in two years. I have not experienced any acne, mood swings, weight gain, or libido changes whatsoever."


"Yeaterday got my 4th injection in 4 months at home by a nurse!
I think it's working very well so far.....I have taken many other  types of medicines over 7 years with  big side effects for RA.
I have had Ulcerative Colitis  for 15 years and took some meds for that. Because of side effects I began a very stringent diet, (specific carbohydrate diet).
I eventually got better and all UC symptoms stopped. Years later went off the diet and was soon reduced to suffering immensely with undiagnosed  RA symptoms.
I believe  my diet  contributes to my symptoms. I know food chemicals  can cause inflammation  and I know UC is cousin to RA.
I  come from generations of alcoholics and am recovering  for 27 years. Sugar is a deadly &  strong addiction.
Today I was lethargic "


"I got Nexplanon in November. Started my period right away. My period lasted until March. The only reason it stopped was because my gyno put me on the pill WITH the Nexplanon for a month. Using that method it kind of "reset" my period so NO MORE BLEEDING! I love the Nexplanon because it is easy! But if you are having trouble bleeding I recommend trying to go on the pill too just for a month. You will be period free while on the pill, then have a period for a week, then be done bleeding!"


"Absolutely HORRIBLE! My pharmacy switched me over from Tri-Pravafram, which was working very well for me. I was told this medication was "exactly the same" as the Tri-P...Lies. Within one week, I had had two acne cysts near my mouth. This never happened to me. Two weeks later, my entire face was covered in cysts and painful whiteheads..my forehead and chin/jawline took the worst beating. I didn't really connect the medication to my issue since the pharmacist had assured me this drug was identical to what I was on before until about 3 months later. I switched pharmacies, and got on Tri-Sprintec and everything cleared up within a month."
