"I have finished a 3- month pack for the purpose of reducing heavy bleeding probably caused by fibroids. The breakthrough bleeding never stopped. The package insert says this symptom occurs in 10% of the patients. Pros: more energy because I have fewer heavy periods. Cons: Still have abdominal pain once in 3 months during period, and have small amount of bleeding every day. I haven't decided whether to continue for another 3 months or seek a different treatment."


"After suffering from various forms of an eating disorder throughout my life, I've been battling binge eating for 4 years, which at times is out of control. I've tried other medications for depression and anxiety, but this is the only drug...the absolute only med that's helped with the binge eating. I am not taking anything else at the time of start & I'm now beginning the second month with only Vyvanse. At first while taking the med, I had no desire to binge eat & I would not have any urge to plan my day around the binging.This was unbelievable as I've been consumed every single day with binge eating. I have to say this med is exactly what I need while I work on the other components of recovery & therapy."


"I know what it's like to lose 30 pounds in one month from depression. No appetite, can't walk without getting tired, laying in bed all day crying & nightmares night after night. It's so annoying when psychs' won't prescribe this because of fear of addiction. Well guess what? If I hadn't have found xanax, I would have committed suicide a long time ago. You can take this medicine long term if you have severe depression and are responsible."


"Had sex last day of my period, no condom. Finished completely inside. Took plan be 6 hours after incident. Abdominal pain, depression, and extreme tiredness. I kid you not, I slept a full day and into the evening. This weight limit crap that has been surfacing the internet is the biggest load of crap I've ever seen. Seriously, the average weight of a woman in the US is about 150-160 pounds, you do the math. I'm about 170. Anyways, experienced heavy spotting a week after taking the pill for about 3 days. Honestly was heavy enough to be a short period. My period was scheduled to start March 15th. It's March 24th, and I finally started (which is right on time if you count the number of days since the induced period from the plan B)."


"I had Kyleena inserted 3 weeks ago. The procedure did not hurt me at all. I took ibuprofen prior to it. And my doctor gave me localized anesthesia. Upon leaving the office, I became extremely light-headed and had to sit down for a bit. I was ok for the rest of that day but the following two days I had cramps that were mildly painful and some dried period blood. For the next 10 days, I had some cramping and some brown discharge. Exactly two weeks after insertion I was very crampy and started bleeding and now have been bleeding for a week straight. Cramps come and go, and I've been a mixture of constipated and have more than usual bowel movements. I'm not sure this is worth it. Considering removal at follow-up appointment."


"I started on May 19 with the free trial and was taking 2 pills a day, (morning & night). My insurance won't pay for it, so it's $75 a month per refill. First day I had a little trouble focusing on things in the distance & was pretty sleepy the first week. After the 2 week trial, I decided I was going to do just one pill a day, in the morning. As far as losing the weight, I started on Tuesday and we left for the beach on Friday for the weekend. I actually gained about 5 lbs but once we got home and I got serious about my eating habits, I lost the 5lbs & have lost another 3lbs. I don't crave sugar as bad as I used to, but it still tastes pretty good to me when I eat it. If I eat slowly and pay attention to what I'm doing, I fill fuller faster"


"Diagnosed with pneumonia and sinusitis, coughing really hurt!  It took a few doses and was able to slow down the cough.  Tussinex at night didn't help me sleep but this did.  With the antibiotics, am well on the road to full recovery.  Will use again if needed.  Husband also using with same results I have experienced."


"I have had anxiety and depression since childhood and self medicated with alcohol and street drugs. I got sober 29 years ago but after being sober for 2 years I had a nervous breakdown my Dr put me on Xanax and Clomiprine I got better. Years passed and I have had setbacks and Drs prescribed all SSRI's and continued to increase benzodiazepines to an unsafe level. The Drs took me off the benzodiazepines and Clomiprine. My anxiety and depression have returned.

I went back to my Clomiprine a week ago and I already have my life back."


"If you are taking Synthroid and you are still depressed, overweight or losing hair (all symptoms of hypothyroidism, which this drug treats) then your dose is still not high enough. If your doctor tells you that you are "within the normal range, "switch doctors - if you are still having symptoms then your dose should be higher. I have been on this medication for several years now and as long as I'm on the right dose, I feel fine. I know I need an adjustment when I start to get tired and depressed. Those are the two most obvious symptoms for me (as well as hair loss). I have used low-carb diets effectively (New Atkins for a New You is good - has a section for vegetarians) to lose the weight I had gained when my thyroid became inactive."


"I have suffered from depression and anxiety for some time now, the first time the doctor prescribed citalopram , which worked just fine, last week i got prescribed Bupropion , the first day it made a little nervous , the second day i felt really depressed and little moody.. The third day gave a manic episode which i never had before , i stopped right away , it is definitively not for me."


"DO NOT TAKE THIS. there's no other way to put it. I've been on it for going on five months and ever since day one it has been awful. I've become severely depressed I cry all the time I feel nauseous 24/7. My anxiety has gone through the roof. I feel like my whole life has changed for the worse ever since I started this medicine."


"I'm 42 years old and perimenopause has taken over my life. My estrogen dominance was so bad that for 8 whole days before I even started my period I was almost bed ridden. My breasts were so sore, it was as if they were engorged and I, at times, felt a low grade fever coming on. I have a 21 day cycle.  I have one week a month that I felt pretty OK... Only one week a month!!  Went to the Obgyn and begged for help.  I'm now day 5 on prometrium. So far my head is clear, no boob pain, I'm awake not tired, not hungery either. I do have some uterine cramps every afternoon for some reason. I can't wait to see how my whole cycle will be. So far so good, very happy."


"I'm into my second pack and am not pregnant (which is good) but I'm very nauseous, queasy, dizzy and lightheaded.  Also, I'm experiencing anxiety and nervousness.  I think if these symptoms continue after pack 3 I'll need to switch."


"Was diagnosed with chlamydia this morning sadly and was prescribed two 500mg tablets to be taken at once. After about an hour and a half of taking them I got the most excruciating stomach pain I've ever experienced. The pain was so bad I couldn't stand up straight without feeling like I was going to vomit everywhere. It's been about two and a half hours since I took them now and my stomach is starting to calm down, no diarrhea "so far", but if it will get rid of the infection I'm happy."


"I've been on for a little over a month, and I'm 19 years old. My breast grew from a 34B to a 26C in one month and they are still tender. I'm fairly certain my sex drive has gone down. Other than that no problems."


"While in the hospital, I was suffering from nausea and vomiting. Since I could not keep anything down because of the vomiting, I was given Zofran via IV.  It worked quickly and controlled my nausea and vomiting.  I was given a prescription for Zofran when I was discharged.

When the vomiting began again at home, I was unable to hold down the Zofran long enough for it to work. My doctor called in a script for Phenergan (promethazine) rectal suppositories. I found that they worked almost as quickly as the IV Zofran and actually did a better job controlling the nausea and vomiting. As mentioned in other reviews, both the pills and suppositories can make you a bit sleepy."


"I really am grateful for my doctor prescribing this for me.  I personally only take one when I am having an episode (even though the bottle says something different.  I don't like taking pills if I don't need too), and within a few minutes I'm feeling more relaxed.  The only side effect that I seem to have is I get a little "loopy", dizzy and tired as well... but maybe the tiredness is from everything being released from my body. Not sure... I do NOT drive while the medicine is in my body because my judgement and reflexes are a bit slower then normal.  When my daughter was a week old, I had an irritable bowel syndrome episode. I took a pill and then I was unable to breastfeed for 24 hours. I just pumped and dumped. Otherwise, I love this."


"Ativan has changed my life for the better. I can do things now that I used to have to avoid because of my anxiety, such as public speaking and being in high places. I even went on a roller coaster last month for the first time in 20 years. I have extreme hypertension (taking Lisinopril for that), and sometimes blood pressure spikes will trigger an anxiety attack. I take a 0.5 Ativan when that happens, and in about 20 minutes I'm fine. I'm so grateful to now have this medicine."


"I am 18 years old, I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for 1 year and 2 months so far and I am very happy with it. Before the pill I had unbearable cramps and my periods were very heavy, however within the first month on the pill my period became light, lasting 4-5 days, and my cramps became barely noticeable. As far as side-effects, honestly, I can be very irritable and/or emotional at times and occasionally a little nauseous, but that only lasts for a couple of minutes. Also, I did not gain any weight. I would recommend trying this pill, however everyone reacts differently."


"Have used this medication for months and found it to be ineffective in controlling the rosacea.  I continued to use it only at the urging of my physician, applying it three times daily with NO symptomatic relief."


"Zyprexa (along with Prozac) worked miracles for me right away. No mood swings, no irritability/anger, no depression, no suicidal thoughts, no impulsivity, I don't feel nearly as cynical, very little emptiness/boredom. Energy is up during the day, Zyprexa helps me sleep. Slight lightheadedness, but nothing troubling. I have my life back."


"MIRACLE! I used it 5 hours after unprotected sex and I got my period 2 weeks later, the exact day it was due. Had no side effects either except I was really tired for a couple of days. If you're reading these reviews and freaking out about being pregnant, STOP! It will work. I've had a friend who has used it 6 times, and it worked Everytime. Only thing is that its kind of expensive. "


"I'm pregnant and bought Emetrol for morning sickness. I took one dose and within 2 hours I broke out in a rash on my hands, arms, neck, face and back. I guess I'm allergic to it."


"NEVER NEVER give this medicine to your children! If I could give this medicine a zero I would. My 4 year old son started taking the Qvar inhaler for his asthma. Over the next 3-4 months he started to have nosebleeds. I've tried everything from antibiotics, saline, humidifiers, nothing was helping. One day my son woke up with a nosebleed screaming he was blind, he turned blue, puked up a lot of blood and went limp in my arms. This qvar inhaler caused severe swelling in his sinuses, nosebleeds and low blood pressure. I thought my child had died in my arms I was terrified. I took him off the inhaler and he hasn't had a nosebleed in 3 months. Theres no reason that should have happened to a 4 year old. I would never want anybody to experience that"


"Psychotropic medications are appropriate for the small percentage of us who would literally die by our own hands if we didn't take them. For that reason, their relative levels of effectiveness are often viewed by us through a completely different lens (realistically) than by those who take them for less serious reasons. Even bouts of major depression don't constitute a definite reason for taking pharmaceuticals. If it keeps you alive & lets you to work towards having something better BEYOND just 'existing', it's working. Try to reevaluate the manner in which YOU are evaluating the medication's effectiveness based upon what it is TRULY intended to do. As with everything in life, maintaining realistic goals & expectations is key to happiness."


"I have taken a low dose of Seroquel (100mg) for 9 months. Over this time
the full on cravings and my weight
have slowly crept up on me. I worry if
they keep going like this that I may end
up with diabetes. I have put on 12kgs extra since I started on March 5th 2015.

I also have no feeling down there during sex- just feels like pressure or a massage- I have no enjoyment.

I am also on Lithium and Lovan. Neither of these medications have caused these problems in the past.

My boyfriend says I have improved since being on this drug.

I think I will with the help of my doctor take myself off this drug."


"excellent med if you are afraid of side effects, had none. used for 10 yrs until stopped working. was on celexa also for 10 yrs excellent med for no side effects .both Lexapro and Celexa are excellent for treating mental disease. avoid ZOLOFT was on for two weeks my brain was in another dimension , made anxiety worse. now its hell on earth for me looking for another ssri. clonzepam is excellent for anxiety no side effects. docs wont prescribe it for me."


"Just finished split prep for colonoscopy this morning. Not as bad as I had feared - chilled solution, used straw and chasers, finished with mints. Could not drink final glass (knew I would vomit) but was well cleaned out.  Clear your schedule and have good reading material handy and it's not too bad."


"It really helped me out."


"My daughter was diagnosed with CPP at 2 years old, the pubic hair and breast development disappeared by changing to an all organic diet even before starting the treatment. She still has mood swings and her height has improved with the lupron, but the doctor still can't give me a cause or hope of when we'll stop the vaccine."


"My acne ranged anywhere from moderate to severe before I started taking Yasmin. I've been consistently using Yasmin for three months now, and I've seen a massive improvement in my skin. During the first couple of months there were no visible changes to my acne, if anything it got worse. Nearing the third month all the bumps on my forehead disappeared, leaving my forehead smooth for the first time in years. I still occasionally get large whiteheads on my chin and cheeks, but not nearly as severe. Hopefully in a month or two I will be acne free."


"I suffered from common migraine most of my adult life and had gone through just about every conceivable medicine there was including Sansert. Nothing seemed to help prevent them but I did have Imitrex to take when I had a migraine. But I took it too often and got rebound headaches. Then, with the 4th neurologist within 25 years, she prescribed 50 mg of amitriptyline to take at night. Immediately I was free of migraines and over 10 years have never had to resort to Imitrex. Amitriptyline changed my life."


"Great no nightmares, anxiety almost nonexistent, and does get me feeling loopy like xanax, klonopin, or Ativan. No flashbacks either.  :)"


"I'm currently writing this as I'm laying down sick to my stomach. This is my first time trying any birth control so I had no idea what to expect. I heard nuvaring was popular so I gave it a try. At first I was fine, happy and feeling great. Then as the weeks go by it was hell. I started spitting brown discharge. Then at the 3rd week I couldn't find the ring. I was bleeding so bad, I had horrible migraines, blood clots coming out and vomiting. I thought I was going to die. This birth control is not for everyone."


"I didn’t like this pill. I stayed on it a full 3 months but it made me crazy. The week before my period I became  even more crazy, and depressed and anxious. Pretty much sad everyday. Then I started getting my period the last week of my active pill and acne all over my chin. Switched pills."


"In the sense of clearing skin, yes it did amazing,
Almost to good to be true. I honestly told everyone about it.
I took it for 6 months,
Later that year I self harmed for the first time, this continued for years after taking Accutane I've suffered from depression, my weight starting changing dramatically I went from almost 200 to just just below 100 back up to 170 in a short amount of time. Around that time I was checked into an eating disorder center. The depression plus eating issues and lack of energy I looked for another way to be okay, I started on street drugs to control my depression, before Accutane I was such a happy guy, I know it's discounted, and for good reason too I just thought people might be able to relate."

"My Dr. put me on Zonegran for my migraines and I was just wondering if anyone else is on this for just that?  I have only been on this for 5 weeks so that is why I was curious."


"I am had unprotected sex on September 16. I took the plan b pill within 24 hours and had no side effects. Turns out that the pill didn't work and I am now 6 weeks pregant! This pill does not work 100%! If you are not experiencing any side effects from the pill, odds are it didn't work on you."


"I started taking this for acne, which Ocella cleared up REALLY well (except for the period week, during which I'll get minor acne breakouts), but I must add that now I've been experiencing a huge decrease in my sex drive.  I'm starting to wonder if I should get off of it just to feel like a normal sexual adult.  This is just getting weird."


Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone / pseudoephedrine

"Hands down the best cough syrup for my bronchitis.  During my most recent bout the doc first prescribed Hycodan (hydrocodone/homatropine) which helped the cough but gave me awful nausea and vomiting.  Zutripro clears my cough with no adverse side effects.  The pseudoephedrine gives me a little extra pep which is badly needed after many nights of not sleeping due to cough."


"**This is a missing side effect that should've been noted in the prescription information! *** For the first two years this medication came out I continue to use it along with my disease management drug. I was taking tecfidera.  These two medications combined  drastically slow down your lower intestinal.  Ampyra lists constipation as a minor, less common  side effect. After some research with my doctor he researched the medications in medical journals and the chemical compounds and he thought two should not be taken together for this particular reason."


"Worked very well the first week, now in week 2 not so well. Great for short term."


"wow the side effects! I have never experienced acne like this before....I seriously break out all the time and I'm 31 years old I wanted the 5 year plan but I'm breaking out like I remember 7th grade"


"Pain reduction with memory loss. I've been on Lyrica 4 yrs and take 450 mg a day for fibromyalgia, migraines, and nerve damage. Also on Fentanyl pain patch, Norco, and Flexeril daily for herniated discs C3-C7, T3, L1.  Lyrica significantly improves my pain and migraine recurrance; however, it is likely the cause of memory loss and slower thought process. I teach high school and college courses, am the parent of five young adults, and am sole breadwinner and insurance provider. I intend to reduce my Lyrica and pray I can manage increased pain better than memory loss or dementia, two common side effects of Lryica. Female, 53 yrs. Check Pfizer patient assistance programs on web to defray costs. I got free Lyrica when needed. No weight gain."


"Medicine works very well for the specified 12 hours but wow it is very strong. I weigh 105 pounds and taking an entire pill will have me falling over and seeing double very shakey also but giving it a seven because at least I can breathe now and this is the only medication that works for that my inhaler won't even help me any more."


"I'm having a very severe nasal congestion from a cold. My normal DayQuil/NyQuil were not helping at all. Tried Sudafed, also did not help. Went to chemist in search of powerful medication and got the highest dosage of Mucinex D at the pharmacist's recommendation. Was warned about possible insomnia so I took 1 pill at 5pm thinking it's still more than 5 hours to bed time and I should be fine. Well, the congestion was gone. But I was up for the next 28 hours straight. The congestion returned after about 15 hours which makes me think the medicines effect must have worn off and I can take a nap. But no. After being up for 28 hours I decided that if I'm not getting any rest I may never get over my cold so I took a sleeping pill."


"I reviewed this site because I have been on Invokana for a month- and I've noticed significant hair loss.  I see that at least one other person has mentioned that."


"Had kyleena inserted 5 days ago as I decided to switch from the pill. Having never been pregnant before insertion was uncomfortable for me. I felt some strong cramps during but was able to return to work as normal about half an hour later. Cramping was not enjoyable the first night, and I had Advil and Tylenol on repeat with my hot water bottle, however I woke up the next day with no cramps and a few spots. Same a few days later. Time will tell what it will do to my period but overall a great experience. Everyone's different though, and please don't believe every bad thing you read online. I love my kyleena and it sure beats taking the pill everyday."


"This is my second attempt with Amitiza (this time at the lower dose). Unbearably nauseated once again on top of the constipation and abdominal cramping. Does not work for me AT ALL."


"It's great for sleeping but I just recently found out on here! That extra strength you can take during the day. Yipppeee!"


"Since 2002, when I had a terrible car accident....Durango hit my Civic, while I was 1st at a stoplight, (stopped), at 50 mph. Been thru 3 cervical fusions from the best docs in the USA, 2nd surgery was a failed fusion. Third surgery in 2013, I now have 7 levels fused, from C2-T1, and a recent lumbar fusion from L3-L5. I am bionic, except for the agonizing pain I've endured for YEARS!
Finally on disability, both b/c of spine, severe poly-neuropathy, and severe fibro all over. Nucynta is a HUGE blessing! No foggy head and dwindling down on Norco intake! I feel ALIVE! 200 mg ER x 2/day and down to 4 Norcos for breakthru. It IS A GOD SEND! I can once again be productive, happy and damn nearly pain free. I am blessed! No, it doesnt give you a hi"


"I started taking Chantix no joke 4 days ago and today I have had NO desire to smoke at all! Very happy about that. I will continue to take Chantix. No weird dreams, actually feel more energetic and alert. Clear headed and able to breathe. Smoked since I was 12 and am getting ready to celebrate my 51st Birthday in a few weeks. Only thing I DO notice - I cannot get the smell of cigarettes out of my nose. No one around me smokes. It is really annoying. ANYONE ELSE have this happen to them?"


"I posted the last review saying there was no burning but a lot of itching. Boy did I speak too soon. The burning is so bad I've been holding my pee to avoid the fire. The itching seemed to have slightly calmed but the burning is absolutely excruciating. I don't have kids so this is by far the worst pain I've ever felt down there. It has now been about 32 hours since I inserted the egg. Worst decision of my life."


"Worked well for a 5 years. No side effect.

."


"I'm taking Benicar 40mg for High Blood Pressure 163/100 on average I'm slightly overweight (47. Benicar has actually reduced my dizziness I had prior to taking blood pressure medicines. I tried water pills but blood pressure got worse. My doctor knows I'm the kind of patient that will stop taking medicines that bother me so she skipped the lisinopril and went straight for the Benicar and I'm glad she did although day 4 now and my blood pressure is 124/58 ...sort of low after being in the 100's a few days ago. Maybe I'll need the 20mg but love the focus and energy I have again and the looser bowels are an additional perk! Knees stopped hurting from arthritis too."


"I use to have really bad cystic acne on my forehead,  between my eyes and on my jawline. I started using this medication my senior year in high school along side Accutane and my problems were solved.  My prayers answered.  I quit using it after high school and I began to break out again.  Just last year I began taking it again,  Just the doxycycline and I feel happy with the results.  My acne is not totally cleared up.  But I rarely, almost never get cystic acne. Just a few little ones here and there. I find that benzoyl peroxide acne wash is best pared with this medication for me.  But everyone is different."


"I've been on the generic of Alesse called Alesyna for about 3 years. I put on over 20 pounds with this BC going from 107-130. I have terrible anxiety and extreme exhaustion. For preventing pregnancy, it worked, but I did NOT enjoy gaining so much weight."


"I've been on this medicine for three months 50mg twice a day. I have notice great hair loss as well as been tried and sleepy. I have always been a early riser but since taking this medicine its hard for me to get out of bed."


"Have been using for five years sometimes it works and sometimes not is the best over the counter Sleep Aid ' I have found
                          Sleep tight"


"I have taken Junel Fe 1/20 for two months primarily as a method of birth control. So far, I have had a few episodes of mild nausea, and one more serious episode where the nausea was nearly immobilizing and accompanied with harsh pelvic pain and spotting. I have had some mood swings and low feelings -- though I experienced this prior in the form of PMS, too.  My breasts seem slightly larger, though I have not gained weight otherwise. Prior to taking Junel Fe 1/20, I had very occasional breakouts, which I am still experiencing. I experienced spotting and light bleeding on the active pills -- which will hopefully subside as the hormones regulate."


"My wife and I are in are in our early sixties and having great sex. What I like the best about Cialis compared to the the blue pills that I tried is that I don't get the stuffy nose issues. It is also great that if you take it on a Friday night it lasts through Sunday morning."


"I've actually had no health problems at all with the patch so far and I've been on it just over a month now. I read up on it beforehand and the reviews were playing on my mind but I've had NO sickness, NO headaches and NO spotting which has been great! I've been wearing it on my bum (alternating sides each week) for a few weeks and this seems alright but I'm trying my inner arm now.

The only downside of this I've had is the pain when taking it off - I thought it would be like taking a plaster off but it's much worse!! Like getting an unwanted wax each time. Granted this means that it stays on for a week!

This is enough to put me off the patch and I'll be trying something different next time."


"I was on this pill from age 17-21, at first to regulate periods and later for birth control. It worked great. I tried it after my first child and it worked until after a year when I missed 2 pills. I immediately started a light period, so I thought I wasn't pregnant and started a new pack the following week. However, I started bleeding again and bled the whole month but I thought it was my body adjusting to missing those pills. Finally, I tested and I got a   test but it turned out I'd been miscarrying and that weekend, I finished the process. So I switched to the shot in between other pregnancies. However, I'm about to go on it again because my last pregnancy ended in stillbirth (true knot) so I don't want anything long-acting."


"I had a Mirena placed 2 years ago for heavy periods. I was 38 at the time, and it had been 16 years since my last child. The doctor said it can maybe more painful, the longer you wait after having children, However, I had no pain with insertion. I had some cramping for a few days, as well as spotting, after 6 months, my period stopped completely. I have NO issues with Mirena, from extremely heavy periods to none and I didn't have to get a hysterectomy I would recommend it."


"Great results!!..which was unexpected after I read all the reviews on here...If you only take one with plenty of water you most likely won't feel a lot of pain...I took one pill at 4pm,it's 7:30 now and I've already had 2 BM...I'm really impressed and so glad I didn't listen to the negative comments!!..It's such a relief and I had hardly even felt anything was happening!..THE SECRET IS WATER and don't be afraid to eat!!..Nausea and sickness usually occur when your dehydrated because this product sucks all the water out of you, so yeah stay hydrated and you should be good!! Definitely will use this again"


"So far so good. The only side effect so far has been many things now have an ammonia smell to them."


"Although the drug works while you are on it you don't really want to take it long term.

It causes serious weight gain and leaves you with insomnia if you try to stop it."


"I have suffered from GAD for most if my life. In the last 10 years it had slowly gotten worse and side problems showed like health anxiety, physical symptoms like back pain, neck pain, lump in throat, etc. Worry had taken over my life....unfortunately I didn't notice it associate most of these things with GAD. But it had been effecting my family for sometime. Got to the point where my wife moved out and filed for divorce. I finally made the decision to try an SSSRI. I had tried in the past but had rare side effects from all I tried. I started Lexapro 5mg and within 5 days began to feel better. Then after a few weeks it was like waking up from a deep sleep. I had my life back! Been 8 months now and I feel fantastic! Thank God for Lexapro!"


"After awakening and emptying a completely full bladder on myself and the floor, I called my doctor for help.  Myrbetric was prescribed and has worked wonders.  Having insurance that wouldn't cover this, I'm unfortunately having to try a different route.  :("


"Definitely would NOT take this again.

I experienced headache, dizziness, stomach pain, diarrhea, muscle pain, tingling in my limbs, I was so weak. I really thought something was wrong, and it just so happened all this started when I took the first pill!

I am definitely sticking to my ciprofloxacin!

I know everyone's different, goodluck to the ones that do take it :/"


"I've been on birth control since I was 16 now 22, I've tried 3 birth controls before Ocella. All previous ones had break through bleeding, mood swings & one gave me out of control yeast infections.
That's when I switched to Ocella, zero acne, I skip my period, no breakthrough bleeds, no weight gain besides 3 pounds and a little bloating every so often.
Best part, no pregnancy scares for the last 2 years. Love the protection and stability it's supplied! I will say I've experience intermittent anxiety on it, might try another kind of it continues.

Hope this helped. Worth a try, it's kept me safe, happy and acne/pregnancy free."


"+1000 to all the other ladies with fire ants currently residing in their nether regions. I've been battling a yeast infection for a month and on the recommendation of my doctors office am trying monostat 7 for the first time.

Five minutes after inserting it I literally leaped from my bed, ran to my bathroom, and started itching my vagina like a mad woman. It's the most gutteral instinct I've ever had. Thanks to these reviews though I'm gutting it out with my teeth grinding and laying flat in bed praying for the fire to die down.

Godspeed to all of you. I hope days two and three aren't this bad..."


"I've been taking 25mg for PMDD for about a month and a half. On advice of my doctor I am taking it everyday instead of just during PMDD symptoms. It has been absolutely wonderful! The first couple of days I took the whole 25 mg in the morning. I found this to give me headaches and tremors. So I decided to split the pill in 2 pieces and take half in the morning and half with lunch. I only had to do this for about a week; I now take the whole 25 mg in the morning, with or without food, no problems. No serious side effects, definitely not enough to outweigh the benefits. Zoloft has absolutely given me my life back! I was afraid to take it, especially after all of the negative reviews, but I am so happy I gave it a try. Wonderful!"


"I thought I'd submit an update to my Saxenda experience. I am on my third month and I've lost about 8 pounds. It has been an up and down journey. With the advice of my health care team I have slowly increased my dosage over a longer period. I am only at 1.8 mg and am presently having mild side effects such as tiredness and indigestion. I take a antacid before going to bed which helps curb the acid reflux. I've been told to have smaller meals more often. I find having sweets causes more of the indigestion problem.  I try to do some form of activity everyday even if it is just a walk. I try to keep my expectations reasonable and consider Saxenda just another tool in my weight management. I find the other posts very helpful."


"I've suffered with bad migraines as far back as I can remember and finally after 52 years they got so severe I ended up in hospital. A new doctor took my history and decided to try Depakote (500mg) for 2 weeks and then in 2 weeks double the dose. I started with the 500mg and never had to double the dose. This July 2nd 09 it will have been 2 years without any kind of headache. Not even a little one. THANKS Depakote."


"I don't like it at all. Have taken 2 times and causes me to yawn alot and jaw tightness. Makes me feel really weird."


"I was on the Nuva Ring before the patch and It was working for me just fine but my sex drive was non existent. I switched to the Patch because I wanted something easy, and let me tell you its amazing! The first two months I did have random cramping and sore breasts but It was manageable and did not really bother me. The patch is easy to remember because I change it on Sunday and that is my "me day": I do my nails, facial, change my patch, and plan the week ahead. The only problem I had was sometimes it did come off, but I easily fixed that my using rubbing alcohol on my bum before I applied patch, now it never falls off. I would recommend the patch to those of us who are control freaks and love to plan everything including your period,"


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine

"I experienced euphoria for about 3 hours. It was very surprising for my family members to see me in this state, they were very worried."


"I heard a lot of horror stories about this medicine, but, though I realize I'm only on my second pack, I'm happy to say the side effects are bearable. The first month I was really nauseous a lot and I spotted blood every single day for a month. That, admittedly was annoying. But it's better than a lot of what I was hearing. Aside from maybe being a tiny bit more prone to crying, I've not had mood swings, anxiety, depression, or unreasonable anger. I haven't gained tremendous weight, though my breasts have gotten HUGE. Husband isn't complaining. They're still sore often, but nothing terrible. Overall, I'd recommend it. I still don't totally trust birth control pills, but this one is bearable."


"I had spinal fusion on my lower back 6 months ago. NOTHING helped with the pain. My wonderful Dr. prescribed Voltaren Gel 1% 4x a day. All that I can say is......WOW. This stuff is top notch!"


"I took this as an emergency contraceptive 15 days after the start of my last period 12 hours after the condom broke. My boyfriend since left for deployment and 3 weeks later I found out  a surprise! 3 weeks pregnant. 10/10 would never trust this again my doctor was even shocked."


"After I inserted the Monistat 1 ovule I thought it discharged very quickly within 3-4 hours i though but couldnt tell for sure  & I did not feel any extreme pain.This made me worried because i was reading reviews that were saying terrible things like "remove it! "& "it was causing extreme burning & the worst decision I've ever made".By almost 24 hours im at work freaking out reading all of these reviews. I was having lots of discharge & of course I was uncomfortable being at work. I went ahead & bought a 3day treatmen for back up just in case..Bottom line.... I didnt feel any burning just warm sensations at any given time. I took one of the 3day treatments 6hours after the one day treat ment just to be sure! I feel great now! hope ths helps"


"I got Liletta inserted in Dec 2015 after being on problem free (for me at least) NuvaRing for 9 years but wanted less estrogen in my BC.
I’m 27yo, 5’1”, approx 115 pounds, half marathoner.
Pros: No weight gain, stopped periods
Cons: daily headaches, chronic yeast infections (11 months!),  diagnosed w/chronic migraines, severe anxiety, panic attacks, and  brain fog so severe for over a month that Drs thought I was having seizures in my sleep/tumor/MS/etc. , strings made for occasional painful sex for my SO
I saw my GP last week who is convinced Liletta has caused my issues. Had my GYN remove it 19Jun17 and fingers crossed I feel like myself soon"


"Great so far"


"Didn't really help at all with my gas"


"has given me diarrhea  for the last 5 days but I've been taken it longer. The doctor has given a 6 month prescription
I am having to take 4 a day and am feeling sick."


"KYBELLA warning it's not worth it . I had KYBELLA injections in January of 2016 and from that day forward I have been so sick, several Dr. Involved I've been to hostipal several times only nobody knew what KYBELLA was.  I'm having short time memory loss , headache , for the last 4 months. More test next week CT SCANS, MRI, X-RAYS DR AFTER DR. RIGHT EYE BLURRY and getting worse by the day. Intentional infection. I've actually contacted an attorney so when I loose my memory or die to fight for my children."


"It worked perfectly . Recommend !"


"After reading all you posts I don't feel alone any more...
Depo has broken my spirit and me....
The same as many of you I had my reasons for going on Depo, I'm 44 and was looking to relieve my period symptoms that have been getting more painful and heavier as I get older I had the shot 1 Early Nov 15, it slowed that period and stopped the cramps within an hour, started liking this Deop stuff, why had I not done this sooner.....
55 days of no bleeding had me feeling on top of the world and thinking I'd finally found a solution... I had missed a whole painful period..
Then 22nd Dec 15 spotting/bleeding started, as time goes on cramps are also now part of my daily life, It's Feb 13th 16 and still bleeding.... Very upset and bordering on depression..."


"There's no such thing as complete relief, but this drug gave me the best that I've experienced."


"I have not yet seen much changes in my disease, but I have had a lot of side effects from this medicine."


"I have found this medicine to be more effective with less side effects than hydrocodone. I am able to function and perform daily tasks without feeling high and it actually helps the pain not mask it."


"I started with 100,then cut them in half,last night tried half of the 50. Found that 25 mg worked even better. I am in my 70's and the milder dose gave little flushing and no headache . Much cheaper when you get 4 for 1."


"By far the only things that's touched my back pain. Got 3 rods, 6 pins going from T10-T12. Been on literally every pain medicine except the pump."


"Prescribed 500 mg 4x a day for 10 days for an infected ingrown hair on my bikini line. I've gotten lots of ingrown hair infections in the past and usually just let them run their course, but taking this was SO much better! Cleared up by day 4, absolutely no side effects, even drinking alcohol went well. Only giving it a 9 because waking up to take it every 6 hours was very annoying, especially once it seemed to have gotten better."


"I absolutely love the NuvaRing. I cannot take pills and the shot would have caused me to gain weight, so the NuvaRing was perfect. No mood swings, no weight gain, shorter period, and barely any PMS. Before the NuvaRing I had the WORST period ever. I was in pain all day long. After the NuvaRing no cramps at all and my period lasts about 3-4 days tops!"


"I'm 52 years old and had a Grand Mal 4 years ago and have been taking Dilantin since without incidence.  No side effects.  The medicine is effective and relatively affordable."


"Best fast acting cough/congestion med I have ever used.  Minimal side effects that get better after a day. I could feel relief within an hour that lasted beyond its 6 hr dosing. If I'd had this medicine first would've not developed bronchitis from a sinus infection. Will ask for it again!"


"After a bad stint operation I have been left with serious nerve damage that causes me severe pain daily. I already had enough pain due to bulging discs and curvature of the spine causing sciatic nerve pain. After four operations in a one month period involving instruments being inserted into my ephemeral artery, there is a lot of nerve damage in my right leg now as well. Needless to say, it's difficult to get up each day with intense pain in my back and leg as soon as my mind registers consciousness.Beside"regular" daily pain, I also have the occasional "sciatic lock" pain. Anyone who suffers sciatic nerve pain knows what I mean.  Only experience can convey the pain. After trying every drug on the market, only Meperedine works for me!"


"I have suffered with anxiety for many years now but recently it has been extremely bad I have had multiple hospital admissions due to chest pain every test and every appointment with my doctor has pointed directly at anxiety my I'm currently on proplanalol to decrease my heart rate when panicking and on mirtazapine 30mg nightly and my doctor has prescribed 50mg pre gabalin but as with all new medications I'm petrified to take it even though there are a lot of positive reviews I guess this is more of a question than a review but has anybody else experienced being scared to take this and if so how did it plan out for you ?"


"First month was absolutely horrible. This is my first birth control pill. The nausea seemed to occur 2 hrs after taking the pill (I take it at 3pm everyday). I was also unmotivated and felt like my back ached all the time.

Then it got better. I don't get headaches anymore. But looking back, I definitely gained weight, like A LOT. I didn't lose my sex drive. Anyway, I'm okay now."


"Ok so I have  Fibromyalgia, DJD, Reynauds Syndrome, bulging and herniated disks, possible Lupus(awaiting further testing).  This treats mild muscle spasms and muscle pain without making you sleepy or groggy. When in severe muscular pain I have to use Soma 350 mg instead."


"For the past four months I have had terrible anxiety and multiple terrifying panic attacks per day. I was having to take more and more lorazepam just to get through the day. My doctor prescribed Lexapro. I was nervous because I had read such horrible things about the side effects and I really didn't want to go through it, but Lexapro has been great for me! The anxiety disappeared on the first day and I was more chilled out than I have been in years. I was weak and tired and had no appetite but that is all as far as side effects. I am very happy with how I feel and my anxiety free life!"


"I have been on various nasal sprays and antihistamines every spring and fall for years.  I kept getting sinus infections, severe sore throats and having problems with my ears.  Nothing was very effective until my doctor prescribed Astelin.  It has been wonderful!  The bitter taste I get if when I sniff too hard is well worth the relief it gives me."


"Been dealing with cold sores for 26 years now. As soon as I feel the tingle I grab 2 Valtrex from my glove compartment or back pack combined with Denavir cream and I'm going on 2 years with no visible outbreaks. Officially have the perfect herpes weapon. Even though the medication is expensive it is so worth it because you only take it when you need it if your able to tell when you may get one."


"I have nerve damage in my brachial plexus. Also I've had cubital tunnel and carpel tunnel surgery. Nerve pain is aweful, it's constant and it's exhausting. I've had the pain for over 10 years and I've been on every thing from Vicodin, percocette, opana, dilauded and OxyContin....my pain doctor and I switch meds every few months due to  my building a tolerance. I usually take 60mg OxyContin x 3 daily, sometimes switching to morphine 15mgx 4 daily. We decided to try Belbucca; HUGE mistake. It did nothing for pain and the stomach issues were the same as everyone else's. I'm going back on OxyContin in a week."


"I've taken Lo Loestrin Fe for about 2 and half years now. I am very prompt about taking it everyday at the same time. I never forget to take it. I rarely had acne before I went on but I do still normally as before the pill get an occasional zit, nothing too bad. My period is off every other month though. Sometimes it 3-4 days and other times just 2 days. My period prior to the pill was heavy and a full 7 days so that's why I first got put on the pill."


"I started Victoza on October 28, 2010, and have no energy.  Today October 30, 2010 I changed my injection to night time.  I feel good today, and my blood sugars are beautiful.  I do have concerns with the long term effect of this medicine.  I will post my B/S levels on November 4, 2010."


"I have found this drug to be very effective in controlling my IBS/ inflammatory bowel disease.  Clearly it's possible herpes has a role to play in these conditions."


"Well, I had tried everything to beat the demon booze. Tried Nalmofene, Campral and Naltroxene medication, went countless AA meetings etc. But Nothing worked. Then I did some research and saw this medication and thankfully my doc prescribed it. Have been on it 6 days and stupidly enough decided to see on the fourth day what would 1 can of lager do? Managed to get through half the can and suddenly the symptoms begun. Flushing, my throat felt like it was swelling, thought my heart wars going to pop out my chest it was pounding so much and then I experienced uncontrollable shaking like Shaking Stevens.  Then I burst into tears.  Felt Awful!  This tablet is a brilliant deterrent."


"While methadone/methadose does do it's job very well, it is not the best medication for withdrawal of opiates. Suboxone is a newer drug that works very well for the suppression of withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone is an agonist and antagonist as well. Not only does it work to suppress withdrawal symptoms of opiate withdrawal, but it also acts as a deterrent from using any opiates because it is a blocker. It is a sublingual pill that is absorbed under the tongue and you should not eat or drink anything for 20 minutes before or after as it will decrease the drugs potency. "


"This has helped my cough from bronchitis a lot.  I've only been taking it for two days with no side effects so far.  My coughing went from hours day and night to very rarely.  My dosage per pill is 200mg and I can take every eight hours if necessary.  I cough somewhat more when I'm laying down but not enough to keep me up all night like it was.  I think it's worth a try but everyone is different and, as expected, results vary from person to person."


"I am 20 years old & have never had kids. I've had paragard for 6 months now. Insertion was awful, despite the fact that I took 800mg of ibuprofen before. Worse than the insertion,  was the excruciating pain I felt for the next 4 days. I also had continuous spotting for about a week. Up until my first period after insertion, I would randomly get cramps. When I got my period I did have cramps, but nothing unbearable like before, although it was super heavy & lasted much much longer (about 6 days total). Now, on month 6, I no longer get random cramps. My periods are still much heavier & longer than before, but they're almost painless. Sex with my bf is great & I haven't gotten pregnant lol so I def say all the earlier pain was worth it."


"I used this for my 8 day cruise, it is the only thing that has ever worked for me. The only problem I had was when I came home and took it off, 24hrs later I had horrible side effects (headache, stomach, dizzy). Bottom line I would do it again so that I could enjoy a motion sick free cruise vacation."


"I only used Nuvaring for 8 days. I didn't have cramping or anything but in the first 5 days I gained 5 lbs despite exercising 5 days per week.  I also started salivating a lot more (on the verge of drooling), had a much increased appetite, was nauseous, and on the day I decided to remove it, I was very dizzy for most of the day, nauseous, and had a headache. I think I'll be going with a copper IUD."


"I started contrave on Dec1st at 213 lbs. It is now March 22nd and I have lost a total of 38 pounds! I can't say enough about this medicine. I did have some side effects at first. Dry mouth, anxiety, slight headache but nothing to keep me from taking it. Actually the first 2 weeks i felt amazing! I will continue to take contrave and hope to reach my goal of another 30 pounds. Also I have noticed that I can't take any other meds while on this medicine, not even Tylenol, makes me sick. But other then that i love it."


"2or3 months ago I did a review for this product. It starts off around me saying that "I'm 18 years old and started using retin a for 6 weeks or so." So this is an update... I'm into my 5th month and WOW! My skin is so much clearer. Trust me no one likes acne I've gone through it. But this cream has been helping me so much. The purging sucks! Whiteheads show up but don't give up on it. After 1 month you'll see a difference. When I started I had red blemishes on my cheeks and now it's long gone. Just some marks here and there. I still get pimples here and there but not as much as I used to. This product is the best I'm so happy using retin a. I recommend washing face morning and night(Cetaphil Soap). Take antibiotic. Mine is (minocycline50)"


"I am 35 , female, n have ulcerative colitis for all of my life, I have done a ton of preps before. I took my first dose at 10 a.m. today, n it took till 130 to kick in. I was getting worried, but I also was in bed whole time. I drank the fluids, more then it says only because I know our  body requires more then we think. The first round was easy n I was relieved, second bout excuse the language but, I'm sure I was yelling as my poor but was on fire! It was that bad, everytime till first dose ran dry.  Took my second dose around 5 it is now 715, n it just kicked in. Thankful to say, no burning n it's just liquid. I don't tend to follow the dosing times, I stay on clear liquids all day so nothing solid is being processed. GL!"


"Right before and after getting the nexplanon I would lose sleep over reading the reviews on here. I am on a year long traveling trip and my doctor told me this would be the best option. After reading all the horrifying reviews I vowed that if I had a good experience I would come back and share since usually unhappy customers are more likely to write reviews. I think it really just depends on your body. For me so far it's been about two months and I've had zero side effects except for the fact that it took away my periods completely which exactly what I needed. Praise God! I am grateful."


"Yaz was great for the first 4 months. I then had a huge jump in my blood pressure. My doctor took me off of it immediately. After one week my blood pressure started dropping. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE! I had no clue. I have never had a problem with high blood pressure before taking YAZ."


"I took this medicine for two weeks and had neck and back aches and lost my appetite. I could only manage to have breakfast, other mealtimes I just wasn't hungry. I had severe pains in my left side which I believe is pancreatitis. I have stopped taking this and replaced it with my old dose of Metformin (1000mg morning and evening). I will not take this medication again."


"Works Great"


"Very effective for diabetes. Blood sugars are lower and am losing weight."


"I had surgery because because I blew out 3 disc.  I used oxycodone. At my request I started going to a Pain Management Clinic. I was put on Morphine and Dilaudid was on them for about a year.  Then they decided to try me on Buprenorphine 8mg. Pill under the tongue. I was also having caudal  injections which they gave me IV sedation. I also had a pain stimulator implanted .  I wish I never did that it doesn't help either. Being on Buprenorphine I have horrible swelling in my legs and feet I also can't sleep more than 3 to 4 hours at night. I take 100 mg of Trazodone which still won't let me sleep.  I also have bruising  after my 4 th back surgery (laminectomy) they took my off oxycodone and started me back on 8 mg of buprenorphine. I hate it."


"This is the third time quitting. The second time I had quite for two yrs and unfortunately started again. After three months of smoking again I decided I need to quit again. I was worried the third time it wouldn't work. After the six day the cravings were nearly gone and smoking tasted horrendous. When I took a drag I didn't get any good feelings from it. So at that point smoking was useless. I didn't even finish my pack. I also learned to take the pills on a full stomach and no problems with nausea this time around. Some dreams but I sleep like a baby!! This drug is my life savour!!!"


"Lortab 5/500 is great for Fibromyalgia pain, Migraines headaches, and just about any other type of moderate to severe pain."


"I've been on this for five months. Don't, just don't. If you have any history of depression on BC, run fast and far. I'm bloated, I hate everyone, I'm tired no matter how much sleep I get, my acne is terrible, and my mind is muddled. I wish I could just find a pill that doesn't make me so depressed.
I definitely was not like this before. I used to be kind to most and happy to be alive.
Now I wish everyone would leave me alone

But hey, I'm not pregnant."


"Crestor worked wonderfully in reducing my cholesterol. It worked quickly and I was very happy with my lab results. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking Crestor because I developed severe muscle pain and aching in my legs, as I did with several of the other statin drugs."


"Took this pill less than 24 hours later and I'm now 5 weeks pregnant."


"In '97 I was suffering from depression so badly, I entered a clinical trial for antidepressants. Specifically, Effexor XR. I had never been on antidepressants before and I was astounded at how much better I felt. Then in '06, after the 2nd work supervisor said I had "no sense of urgency" I decided to switch medicines. My doctor said so many patients became apathetic after long term use. Getting off was a nightmare! But now I'm on Lexapro. It hasn't lifted me up like I'd like either, but maybe that's the way it's going to be. I experienced weight gain with Effexor and actually lost weight since I've been on Lexapro, which has been for about 2 years now. Would like to get off all medicines period."


"I want to share my experience because I was terrified when I first started Pristiq. It was the first time I'd taken an antidepressant following a severe depressive episode. I read so many negative things about Pristiq and people over analysing it. It took 6 weeks to work and yes I had dry mouth, headaches and nausea but they passed after a few days. The anxiety went away gradually and I felt like I could control it again. The depression lifted too and I could function. I went cold turkey to come off it (Dr supervised) and yep side effects but no big deal. The brain zaps were full on but they lasted about 4 days. I feel great. Of course I'm doing lots of exercise and eating well too...but Pristiq helped."


"I tried Lithium, Depakote, and Lamotrigine.  I had horrible side effects with all three.  But Carbamazepine is a miracle drug, as far as I'm concerned.  It started working within just a few days and I only had to take 300 mg a day, in 100mg doses.  My doctor and I found I had to have 400 mg a day if I took it twice a day, but spread out in 3 doses 300 mg worked.  I always prefer to take the minimum useful dose of drugs if possible.  Side effects: 1) teeth, especially at the gums, seem to be in worse shape on it, 2) I have to drink quite a lot of water, or I start to lose some cognitive function, 3) at a higher dose, I seemed to develop empathy deficits as if I had Asperger's or something."


"My new doctor put me on Viibryd to help with my severe depression and anxiety 4 months ago. My previous doctor had tried many medications such as Lexapro, Celexa, and Cymbalta...and to be quite frank every one of them was horrible! I gained 60lbs between them over a year, which only deepened my depression. I felt like I was insane with those medications and hated myself and everyone around me even more and began to feel like people were "out to get me". All the while on those medications I had to take Ativan and Valium for my severe anxiety. Since I've been on Viibryd I feel like a new person! I did not gain any weight and Viibryd helps control my anxiety without the need for other medications! It's expensive but worth every penny!"


"Clindamycin was the only antibiotic that worked for severe jaw bone infection.  "


"It's day 3 of the 5mg and honestly have never felt my body ache like this before. I have thrown up all day, can't keep anything down. And I'm so weak I can barely hold my son. I found this forum trying to find out what is going on with me right now and if this medication is the reason. It definitely is. I feel betrayed by my Dr."


"For a year post surgery I could not get cold. My family froze in the winter, honestly they blew smoke in the air it was so cold in my house. I was burning up still. I can't remember the few meds I tried before my GYN finally prescribed Cenestin. End of story. Total fix within a few days. But now I'm told it is no longer being manufactured. On Premarin now.... We will see."


"Took this medicine for a horrible horrible HORRIBLE kidney infection. Worked within 2 days and cleared up all of my symptoms, which was such a relief. I was told to finish off the bottle by my doctor, and the next day I developed a horrible case if the hives. I stopped taking the medicine immediately, but the hives stuck around for another 3 days. What a miserable week! So, Bactrim worked wonders for my kidney infection, but little did I know I was severely allergic to it. Take with caution."


"This month was my two year mark of having the implant in. I have not had a full period, or used a tampon once in the last two years. I have about one, rarely two, days of very light spotting approximately once every three to four months. My fiancé always finishes inside of me, without a condom or another form of birth control, and we have never had any issues or concerns. Nexplanon definitely serves it's purpose in my case. However, I have slowly gained about 30 pounds in the last two years, while eating well and exercising. I cannot get the weight off, and may get the implant out to lose weight before my wedding. Overall I'd recommend Nexplanon as it's serves it's purpose. If it weren't for the weight gain I'd get it done again."


"This pill has been awful. I took it for two months and decided to stop because it made me feel terrible. I originally started taking it for really bad PMS symptoms and birth control, and it was covered by my insurance. During first month, I had DEBILITATING anxiety. Some days it was so bad I had to skip class some days. I also was incredibly paranoid, especially with my boyfriend. I nearly destroyed our relationship, but luckily he's incredibly understanding so everything is fine. I did have some issues with depression previously, but it wasn't this bad before the pill and it's much better now that I'm off of it. Regardless, I'm done with the pill overall. I'm going to the fertility awareness method and natural PMS remedies."


"I took Cymbalta for about 6 months for clinical depression. Although it helped the depression a lot, I couldn't stand the side effects. I lost about 20 lbs (I'm already underweight), I started having almost constant migraines, and all I wanted to do was sleep.  It was hard to get through work because I was so tired.  Then on my days off, I would only wake up to make dinner for my husband, then I'd be back in bed."


"The pill gives you a lot of energy, pill makes your heart beat fast for the first hour , is a great appetite suppressant ."


"Today was day 15....definitely noticed clothes fitting looser.  Have not weighed myself, but I wear a uniform so it is noticeable.  Was worried about negative side affects and have not experienced any of them yet.  Can't afford to be short tempered on my job as it is high stress already.   My insurance did not cover the drug.  My cost was $140 at CVS."


"I have been on Campral for only five days now. Previous drinking was about 3 cases of beer a week and two of those being on the weekend.  Past weekend - as everyone else here has reported - no cravings for beer.  Usually, if I was trying to not drink on the weekends, the craving would be persistent about every two minutes. It just didn't have the appeal.  Really weird but it seems to be working.  Also, not centering the day around being able to drive, and I know a DUI was getting very close. That is what scared me into doing something and I am glad for doing so.  The cost savings of an estimated 300  dollars per month is already felt. So went shopping since I could drive and had extra money. Small reward."


"First time depot user and it has been one of the worst mistakes of my life. Its day 35 post the shot and I have bleed everyday with HORRIBLE cramps. I have experienced weakness, dizziness, headaches, depression and am always tired.

I can not wait until this is out of my system."


"I'm on my second bar now, the Implanon NXT. First time I had it inserted I bled a lot for 3 months and have not had a period since. I've also lost weight (54kg down to 47kg over the years) and no other side effects. Except once in a while I'll get VERY cranky for a few days - worth it though."

"ive gone thru about 15 different types of bcp's all with neg results from being a bitch 24/7, being depressed, sore breasts, skin discolor, weight gain, uti's, u name it its happened. this is the only one ive taken that has not had any effect on me physically, emotionally, or even persona wise. i love it and have been on it for 2yrs with no problem. i would recommend it to someone whos had as picky as a body as i do."


"Started taking this about 8 years ago after developing an ulcer from taking Aleve.
Was fine for a few years, with only flatulance and loose bowel movements.  For the last 3 years, I started developing asthma symptoms (phlegm in throat and lungs, coughing).  Stopping Protonix cleared it up.  Took 1 pill again and the asthma started again.  Too bad, I really liked this medication."


"I keep the jar in the refrigerator . The cold medicine feels so good on kitchen burns and takes the pain away instantly...I was given a prescription for this medicine after 2ND and3rd degree burns to my face , chest, and legs.. I healed completely.. I'm the only one that can see my scars."


"I was on the depo for about a year, everything was perfect. Then I had stopped taking birth control, went back on the patch, then I had to go back on the shot. Now, I'm due for my third shot and I've been bleeding for two weeks. Every time I think it's done, I become active with my partner and it all starts coming out again! He and I have been together for a year and a half, so the only good thing about it right now is that I'm not pregnant."


"I have been on Victoza for 3 months now. I am a type 2 diabetic with poor control. Victoza has steadily increased and I am at 1.8.   I am slightly overweight but since starting the Victoza I have dropped 15 pounds. I did drop all this weight in the first month, and have not lost any weight since. I did find the first month to be a little difficult with nausea and headaches. My fasting blood sugar levels have gone from the 150's down to the 90's, and I'm very happy with this! I am really hoping this will work long term!"


"I started tri sprintec in November 2013. The first month, I was extremely moody and had anger problems. After three months, my acne cleared up. It's been over a year, and I haven't seen an spot since! This is great; I also am very active. Some days, my sex drive is not there, usually this happens the first week of the pack. So for birth control purposes, I would rate this as a 10, as well. I've never had any problems and never had any pregnancy scares. My boyfriend noticed that I went up a cup in size. I didn't gain any weight really, I'm just 98 lbs and the maximum, I would be 100 lbs. I would recommend it to anyone who has acne problems. But wait 3-4 months for results."


"I have been on this drug for five years and have had no problems. Since being on it, my cholesterol levels have drastically reduced, although I am on lipid lowering drugs as well. It is certainly better than Kaletra"


"This medication works great for my tension headaches. I only need them once or twice a week; taking two relieves the headache or at least reduces it so much that it does not bother me."


"No side effects, that I can tell. I have been taking it for years at bedtime so if I don't take it I don't sleep."


"This product worked for me so I decided to write a review. Took it after me and my boyfriend went unprotected and he came as he pulled out. There was some cum on the outside of my vagina but we both played it safe and bout plan b. I took it 30 mins after the accident . My last period started on January 12 and ended January 16th so I wasn't ovulating. About a week after taking the pill I bled brownish red for about 4-5 days. Didn't experience any other symptoms besides tender breasts.I was supposed to get my next period on February 12 but just got it today ,  February 15. About 3 days late! Please don't stress. As long as you take the pill asap and when you're not ovulating you should be totally fine."


"I have been taking Risperidone for over four years now. I felt great the first year but had to constantly have my dosage increased. I don't like some of the side effects (anxiety, difficulty concentrating, weight gain, faster heart rate, flu-like symptoms) but have learned to deal with them. Once you start to gain weight it is virtually impossible to lose the weight as I have tried everything. It seems you peak at a certain level."


"I have been on Victoza since March 3 2010. I had previously been on Byetta. Byetta didn't seem to be working for me anymore so my doctor wanted to try me on Victoza. It has made a big change my blood sugars are around 120 verses near 200. I have lost a total of 24 lbs since March 3rd  and I feel great and life is good. It seems like I am hardly ever hungry  and when I do eat I am full very quickly. Something I would definitely recommend to another diabetic!"


"I was prescribed Buspar for anxiety. If I knew that Buspar had the side effects that I got, I would never drink it. I drank it for 4 days only and it almost got me killed. I started having panic attacks, I could hardly breath, I had electric shocks, brain zaps,  horrible medicine. I quit right away. Little I knew that quitting even after 4 days would cause side effects. I could not sleep for 2 weeks afterwards, I thought I was dying. Horrible medicine. I will never drink any anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medicin that is not natural!!!!"


"Update:

My skin initially cleared up for the First week but then the next 2-3 weeks were horrible with a lot of breakouts!

For the first 3 weeks my skin was so red, painful, dry and peeling. Then all of a sudden everything went away...

My acne is minimal/almost completely gone after a little over a month and my skin feels so hydrated! Such a great product!"


"I had my IUD put in about 2 hours ago, so this is going to be based off that experience. Also I'm 20 and never had a child. I hadn't gotten my period yet, and I was worried that this would make the pain worse, but it didn't at all! The only part that bothered me was the clamp on my cervix, that pinched at first and then just felt like a mild cramp. I didn't even realize he was measuring my uterus until the dr. asked if it hurt. Then he actually put the IUD in and again I barely felt it. I felt better once the clamp was taken off but slowly started to get cramps. Now I'm home laying in bed with a heating pad with some cramps. Everyone is different but to anyone thinking of getting one don't be scared of the pain, because I didn't feel any!"


"Attackef at age 60. Totally bedridden many years. Husband took me to many neuros who ended up not believing in fibromyalgia. Very insulting suggesting it was"all in my head". Many days could just not make myself move or interact. I had great tired feeling and feeling of pain running thru all parts of my body. Oct 2014 I was lucky. Went to another neuro, prescribed 25mg bid lyrica. In 2 weeks I was myself and have not looked back. Befote this I was an avid runner, pilates, overall exerciser. This came fromnowhere. My lyrica is very low but I just needed it evidently."


"The medication was amazing. I loved how quickly it worked for my migraines. I get too many a month to use Zecuity exclusively so I saved it for the bad nausea ones. Unfortunately, the second time I used it, the patch burned a hole in my leg. When I called to report it, the company insisted it was just an allergic reaction. I literally had a chunk of skin missing and I still have a scar, several months later. The medication is great but whatever they use to push it through the skin is not good. Obviously, since it has since been recalled. Disposal of all of the materials is ridiculous. I would have driven an hour or two to the nearest speciality pharmacy to not have to deal with the delivery and packaging of the medication."


"I was put on 5 mg of Abilify 2 months ago to add to 60 mg of Prozac that had stopped working.  I was afraid at first due to all the negative comments of weight gain.  This medication is a blessing.  Felt alive again after taking only 2 weeks.  My life is better than ever.  No weight gain.  This medication does increase your appetite but if you don't over eat you will be fine."


"I have taken this for about two months now and it has worked wonders for my anxiety. I also have depression and panic disorder, so it seems to help with both. The only downside I have experienced is decreased sexual interest, but my Wellbutrin has seemed to help with this a bit."


"LOVE Zyrtec D...HATE HATE HATE THE PACKAGING....why can't you put it in a bottle instead of having to open ALL these tiny blister packs!!! This packaging is AWFUL!!"


"It works! I do have the wonderful side effect of diarrhea a few hours following ingestion of it (even with food) but it's a small price to pay. I am allergic to sulfas and penicillins so there aren't many options. I've taken it before and it works, so I'm happy with it overall. Good thing I only have to take it for 3 days, though."


"Nexplanon started off great but after about 6 months, it was the worst decision I had made. I tried to ride it out because I thought it would get better but it never did. My periods last almost 3 weeks with heavy bleeding the entire time, and constant moodiness and fatigue. I am scheduling an appointment to get it removed!!!"


"I don't feel anything. I can't tell if it's working or not, though."


"After a visit to emergency with pain from left abdomen to shoulder, after many tests and a two-day hospital stay I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism in my left lung. My hematologist prescribed Xarelto and it seems to be working so far. I will be on this medication for 6 months along with iron supplements."


"I've had Nexplanon going on 2 years and have had no issues. I have not had a period since it was put in.  Only side effect I have had is my headaches have become stronger than when I didn't have it in.  I would recommend this to everyone and plan on having another put in after the 3 years is up."


"Just finished week one of starter pack. So far, little to no side effects. Just slightly flushed face and slightly groggy first thing in the morning. Not sure about pain relief just yet. Yesterday pain level was at 3-4 (which is great compared to the usual 7-8). Don't know if it was just a good day or from the medicine. Time will tell."


"Works great"


"Ever since I was little I had extremely sweaty hands. Anything I touched became wet and I left little drops of sweat all over the place. It even came to the point where I couldn't cut my food sometimes because the knife would slip out of my sweaty fingers. Touching other people and shaking hands were things that I always dreaded and avoided. I'm 17 now and things began to be even more awkward for me when holding hands with my boyfriend and practically leaving them dripping. Since about 6 weeks ago I have been using Drysol and it is amazing. I would say my hands are 75% less sweaty. The only thing that you have to deal with is your hands getting extremely dry and uncomfortable. But if you have a problem like I did, it's completely worth it."


"I went on Kariva because I was told that it helped with acne along with being an effective birth control method. I've tried several other birth controls (including Nuvaring, Tri-Sprintec, etc.) and had VERY intense side effects from them. I finally happened upon this miracle that evened out my mood swings, gave me a shorter lighter period and gave me clearer skin than I've had in 10 years. I have ZERO complaints about this medicine."


"Lyrica has helped me deal with my pain better. I have had no side effects with it. I still hurt bad, but it does help some."


"Helps concentrate tremendously keeps my mind on a task rather than jumping around doing other things instead of not finishing what I started"


"I expected the side effects to be horrible, but happily it's okay, and much better than the symptoms I am taking it for. I am day 4 of a 7 day treatment. I have had legs that hurt, the first two days and initially didn't sleep well and the feeling that all strong antibiotics cause. I am taking plenty rest and my anxiety is much better. It appears these bacteria etc. were making that much worse too. My horrible small bowel problems are almost gone. I would give 10/10 if I know that after I finish the course I can eat normally. Complex carbohydrates are out of my diet, they feed the bacteria, and I need to be able to eat normally again."


"I am 26 and started taking classes again. I was diagnosed ADD at 9 and was off and on Adderall and Ritialin through high school. I would always take it in the morning of school days, and not take it on weekends. I'm on 70 mg Vyvanse now I've been on for 3 months. I like it because it suppresses my appetite the least of the 3 medicines. I'm getting concerned though, because with school and work I will take 2 a day sometimes. But I still don't take it on non work or school days, but my concern is I think I am feeling withdrawal effects. I took it 12 days straight between 70 and 140mg a day, and the first day I didn't take it I couldn't get out of bed and felt depressed and had no motivation. I'm on day 2 and my brain feels like mush."


"Have been taking Requip for 6 months. You have to be careful not to exceed recommended dosage and keep it as low as possible. It will or won't work for you, don't get impatient and take more shortly after first dose.
I am lucky in that I do not get the vomiting/stomach issues. But you can almost time it to the minute, I start to cough, my nose feels like it is swollen inside and no air can get thru. Draining in to the throat makes the cough much worse. 2 1/2 to 3 hrs later-all better.
Higher doses ( 2mg) make it much worse. However it still beats RLS without a doubt!!"


"I have been on Zetia for a number of years.   The retail price has now gone over the  one thousand dollar amount for a three month suppy.  $12 for each tiny capsule.  What is the deal.  My dr. has recently told me to take one every other day to cut the cost.   I am on social security and have a good RX policy....but it still costs me over $5.50 in cash.  That is prohibitive for a drug that has been on the market for years and years.  I think the makers of it are out of their minds.   My last refill the retail was $899.  Please tell  WHY has it gone up almost $200."


"Besides the help and support I experienced with my personal relation with Jesus, I can say Emend 3 days was an added blessing from A to Z. Almost no nausea at all!!! Thanks Lord!!"


"My cycles are regulated now which is nice but the part that is driving me crazy is my nipples hurt so bad around the same time every month. I feel nausea, heartburn, same symptoms as a pregnancy. I am going to use for one more month and if it doesn't go away. I am switching."


"Works up to 3 days"


"Well I started this medicine on Monday and its Thursday and I am extremely sick. My stomach is killing me I sit on the toilet because I feel like I am going to go to the bathroom but nothing ever comes out. I have severe abdominal cramping and cold chills that make it even worse. My chest feels tight and I am so uncomfortable and grouchy because of the pain. This is awful I would not recommend because I was so excited about being able to go to the bathroom and be normal but this has not worked. I am not taking any more of this medication when it is suppose to help with chronic idiopathic constipation and IBS and its made it worse!! So upset I could scream..."


"I was prescribed flexeril for migraines and it was the WORST experience of my life. After developing a migraine, I took one 5mg flexeril in the afternoon and, about 6 hours later, one 50mg tramadol and one 100 mg imitrex. I ended up in the ER at 3 o'clock in the morning unable to breathe, barely able to move and in a full blown panic attack. Apparently, flexeril is similar in chemical make up to Elavil  - a drug a had a VIOLENT reaction to! - and can cause something called serotonin syndrome (which is what I had) when taken with tramadol. Why didn't my doctor know this?? Why was I never warned that flexeril should NOT be taken with tramadol due to possible dangerous interactions. I'll NEVER take this dangerous drug again."


"I was told to take this after what turns out to only have been a nasty stomach virus. Hospital thought it was ulcer. By day four of a 14 day course, I developed severe gum pain and it hurt to chew, I had a horrible taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away, throat gurgles that kept me awake, and shoulder pain. A quick internet search prompted me to quit this drug."


"1 hour after inserting the itching was very very intense!! No burning or pain, but the itch is unbearable!! As soon as I urinated the medicine came out all in the toilet and a huge glob in my panties!! I will never use this again!"


"Second time around for this drug in the last  5 months was diagnosed with clostridial infection  after hospital stay in June  now after this dose I expect to have fecal implant surgery to clear up all issues"


"I developed severe allergies to several types of plants that grow in my state. I have severe hives throughout my entire body day and night for months on end. My allergist prescribed Xyzal and within a day or two my hives were 95% gone. I still get one or two here and there, but not as badly as before. I think this medication is perfect for those who suffer from urticaria."


"Nothing worked but this drug"


"I have had severe hip, lower back and leg pain lately, and have had so much pain walking, sleeping and could hardly bend. I made an appointment with my doctor and though I have fibromyalgia, I thought I was really headed for trouble. Then wham - I was hit with a bad cold. I took my hubbie's Mucinex and thought - am I imagining things or did my pain magically subside? I don't know why, but boy what a difference it made! After a second dose, I looked it up and found this post. Going to the doc's tomorrow and will tell him."


"I have suffered with constipation for years after having a major surgery. The pain would be in my lower back and made it difficult for me to stand particularly in the early morning. I have been taking over the counter acidophilus pills (3) times a day with meals and I don't experience the excruciating pain anymore. I carry my pills in purse. I highly recommend these tablets."


"I'm a 32 year old male and have had symptoms of ADHD all my life, but chose not to treat it because the types of medications available seemed to 'take something away' from my personality.  I finally reached a point that my wife begged me to do something, so I started with Strattera due to my doctor's recommendation.  I've been on 40mg for 2 months now, and notice a major difference.  I now have a desire to get on the floor and play with the kids, whereas before it seemed tedious and boring.  I find that I'm not as tired at the end of the day/week because my thoughts are not distracted, by all the 'noise' that I seem to have from the ADHD.  I'm still new to the drug, and things could change, but for now, I am really happy."


"I have been on Contrave for 3 weeks. I haven't been feeling hungry but I am very tired and painfully constipated. I plan to drop down to 2 pills to see if it makes a difference. I do like that this med has you taking a pill at night which seems to help with my binge eating rather than taking a med only in the am,"


"This product works for hyperhidrosis. If you have sweaty hands, this will work. I been using it for about two years now and thank God it still works. But lately, for some reason, its causing irritation between my fingers, but doesn't matter. I will endure it, as long as it stops my hands from sweating."


"Good"


"WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! this BC gave me SEVERE depression and made me the saddest i have ever been in my life!!! definitely is not worth it for me, i have stopped taking this pill. it made me so overly sensitive to where i cry over the smallest things and it hard to not cry in public, i cried every day after two weeks of taking this pill"


"The only medication that kicks my migraines. Generic is now available, will be trying that with RX renewal. Its very pricey so if the generic works looking to save $."


"Prescribed Bactrim for a urinary tract infection. On day 4 of medication and have been experiencing diarrhea since day 2. Severe nausea and no appetite. Terrible migraine and cannot sleep."


"I love this pill so much I plan on taking it until I'm 50! Regulated my periods right to the hour of arrival. No cramps, shortened them from 7 days to 4 days. Skin became dewy soft and clear. It did cause some weight gain but not much more than 5-7 lbs. Been taking this for 5 years and no side effects. I do recommend this."


"No problem with the medicine - don't know yet how effective for bone density but it has helped my back stop hurting!"


"Taken this for two months and now had to stop due to increasingly severe pressure headaches and then nosebleeds. After a couple of days both have stopped. Going back to docs to see what alternative treatments are available."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / dihydrocodeine

"I used Panlor for about 10 years for chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis. It helped me so much without side effects. Then I was told it was discontinued and went to Trezix which was the same thing and helped just as well. Now they tell me it is discontinued. The doctor gave me another pain medicine but it made me so sick. I don't know where to turn for a medicine like Panlor. "


"I am in my 40's and have got Frozen Shoulder in my left shoulder.  My doctor prescribed Vicodin 5-500mg and it takes the edge off the pain. After the the first prescription of 30 pill were gone I requested a refill my doctor said he would only refill that bottle once more and that is it.  Stating that I would have to endure the pain.  He did not want me to become addicted.  Well I appreciate the concern, but what about my pain? My pills have not run out yet but when they do there will a constant pain. It affects my happiness, work, etc."


"I have been taking this BC for about 4 months, it was great until the last month when I started getting headaches, quick heartbeats, lose of sleep. I gained weight in all the right areas so that was a plus. But I can't put up with the headaches, I'm tired all the time and total loss in sex drive (which is weird because I think about sex all the time). Made me cry here and there but no serious emotional outbreaks. I switched to Azurette so we will see."


"I went into labor at 24 weeks with my first child and she was born at 27 weeks. I started taking Makena when I was 16 weeks pregnant with my second child. My last injection was at 36 weeks and I thought for sure he would be born soon after because of my history. He was 3 days overdue, and probably would have stayed put a few days longer if my doctor hadn't broke my water. I'm currently taking Makena again for my third child and am 31 weeks. Braxton Hicks seem intense this time around, but I'm still confident I've got some time left... and we've already made it a month longer than my first :)"


"Taste accurately described as salty cough syrup...best to chug it down if you can and then sip the water to get rid of the taste. A warm cup of tea helps too and also helps with the chills. Took first dose at 5PM and took about an hour to work...finished about 10PM but was up twice. Second dose this morning seems to be working about the same but just pretty clear at this point...procedure not until 12:30...so we'll see if it worked."


"I've been on TriNessa for about six months now. I used to take microgestin but I was getting two periods a month so my doctor switched me to this one. The first month or two my face broke out horribly, honestly I was debating getting my doctor to switch me to another one. With some time, I'm guessing my body got used to the hormones and now my face is super clear, we're talking I maybe get a pimple around my period but that's it. I now only get my period once a month, honestly this is a blessing because pads and tampons are expensive. The only thing is that it didn't really do much for alleviating cramps or the flow of my period. I still get it for roughly the entire time I'm on the inactive week."


"Prescribed oxybutnin er 10 MG once a day for OAB. Female 23 yes old. Ive been taking it for a little over two weeks with no real improvement. The only thing I can notice us perhaps I am able to empty my bladder a little easier, but not much. Still have urgency, spasms, and frequentl urination. Made my mouth and lips very very very dry. Made me thirsty but didn't help me at all. I'm sorry but I don't recommend it. Vesicare was the only thing I think will actually help me, too bad it costs $200 and my insurance refuses to pay for it."


"I have been on this pill for five months now going on 6.  I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for years, almost 10, then my body started to reject it.  But I loved it.  Perfectly timed periods and no side effects whatsoever. My doctor switched me to Natazia.  Terrible.  I had terrible acne and ridiculous bloating and weight gain all in my stomach area.  I work out regularly and eat healthy.  My only vice is alcohol.  So after three months on that pill, I was switched to Safyral.  I get very bloated one week before my period.  My period is very heavy.  I get bad cramps, although this month they seem to have subsided as today is the first of my placebo pills and no cramps this month.  But I am very bloated.  Acne minimum."


"I havae been on this drug for 6 months, still having problems maintaining sugar levels. My sugar has dropped to 44, 67,70, so I eat something before bed time. Some mornings it is at 130,160 or as high as 235. It seems as though the pill will bring levels down very quickly causing me to eat late to get them up again, only to have them rebound to high by morning."


"I was given a starter pack of a month long supply of Strattera from my Psychiatrist. I'm currently about two weeks in (starts you at 20mg and ends at 80mg) and the reason I am giving the drug this rating is due to me being unsure about how it's affected me thus far. When I first started to take it my anxiety subsided and I felt normal and back on track again. This lasted for the first week. I was even able to travel alone to be with my fiancé in Mexico. I've never traveled much, let alone by myself. I did this with ease. Now back from my trip and having increased the dosage to I believe 60 or 80 right now, I don't feel the same. Sadly. :-( I'm disheartened because I thought this was my cure all after a terrible winter."


"I had the Skyla inserted Friday and removed it the following Monday. I had no cramps or pain afterwards but I had chills, diarrhea, dizziness, I was unbearably nauseous and my anxiety was off the charts.  It was one of the worst weekends of my life.

I really wanted it to work for me but it didn't."


"This drug truly saved my life and my career. I always had a paralyzing fear of speaking in public. Interviews, speeches, meetings, or even just a name introduction would give me such bad anxiety. I wouldn't be able to sleep and I couldn't live my life without thinking about it all the time. I was still nervous and skeptical before I had to speak to a group recently but I hung in there and it worked magic. I was calm, I could focus, no shaking, no panic. Highly recommend!"


"Jublia is the only thing that worked for me. Over the past 7 years I had various treatments - laser therapy, topical anti fungals, tea tree oil, prescription and non-prescription meds (no oral meds) - none of it worked. I've been on jublia 1.5 years. One nail is cured, the other two are 90%. Prior to starting, the nails had detached from the nail bed and were nearly disintegrated. They have all grown back, grown strong and are only slightly cloudy. Luckily I had not side effects. The only downsides of this medication is that it's very slow and expensive.   I've spent nearly $1000 on this medication alone. But I spent way more on stuff that didn't work so it's worth the money."


"I have muscle spasms in my neck and upper back. I have bone spurs on my cervical spine that compress my spinal nerves causing numbness in my shoulders and arms. I have to hold my head in very specific positions to avoid pain and numbness. This causes tension and muscle spasms in my neck and back. My doctor prescribed 500mg tablets once a day at bedtime. I'm confident that I am under dosed. Not any relief at this point."


"I started w/ Victoza but I switched to Trulicity in Feb & WOW it has worked wonders, no side effects. I've lost 25 pounds including exercise & no snacking on junk food, no fried food or red meat.  This med really curbs your appetite. Works great for me! I pray it works for whomever is reading this good luck..."


"I started on Depakote by my new neurologist. I've had bad depressions and bipolar attacks, but about 2 yrs ago I started having seizures. This new neurologist took me off of all my medicines and just put me on a low dose of Depakote. I've been seizure free and much happier in general. The only things are the constant snacking and I seem to catch colds and flus easier. Any advice about that?"


"I've had moderate psoriasis for over 30 yrs also severe pitting and deteriated finger and toe nails, swollen fingers and toes. After 1 yr on Humira I was 95 % clear including my nails. I'm still doing good on Humira after 4 yrs. I'm probably 80 -85% clear and no scalp psoriasis at all which was real bad. I use the pen for injections. I know eventually it will lose it's effect and then I'll move on to something else. But for now it's shorts, tank tops and a crew cut."


"I agree with the other reviews published here.
1) single use applicators are unnecessarily old fashioned and wasteful. Those of us with lifetime eye conditions experience a wide array of applicators dispensing a wide array of meds.

2) Xiidra (Shire)  vendor wants our "business" but fails when it comes to learning the needs, wants, and desires of (users). An authentic interest in their patients in the form of personalized queries just might unveil how the product can be improved and more user-friendly."


"$ 28.00 worth of water.  Absolutely useless."


"I am on my 3rd colonoscopy and 3rd experience with this kit and I really struggle with the taste. it without a doubt does the job it's meant to do, but the taste! I have found, however, that if I eat a cold Popsicle or Italian ice before trying to chug this down, it numbs the mouth a little. I still need to take breaks between chugs and get some more Popsicle in to do some more damage control, but I have definitely found that it helps more than other things I've tried."


"This is my sixth month on Sprintec for acne. I started on Yaz and within the first week, I was so sick I couldn't take it and called my doctor to switch. I was also nauseous for the first week of every month, for about four months. It slowly got better and now I feel no side effects at all. My acne is a thousand times better and it's so relieving to have clear skin. Also I recently became sexually active and it's much more convenient than any other form of birth control.

Make sure you stick it out, you'll get over the nausea eventually. I took Dramamine which helped suppress the sickness but it made me tired, but it made it bearable so I say try it."


"I had 2 broken knuckles replaced. Sent home with oxycontin and oxycodone. They were like eating a tic tac. I ended up spending a week in the hospital pushing a button on a pain pump which contained morphine. IT did absolutely nothing for my pain. Finally, I was seen by a pain management doctor who prescribed 50 mcg fentanyl patches every other day. I was able to go home and start physical therapy. I am so thankful they found something that worked fro ME. Every patient is different and everyone responds differently to different medications. I am a 100 pound 55 year old woman."


"I have been on Belviq for 9 days now and have lost 7 lbs.  The first day I had a severe headache and some dizziness.  I only took one pill that day.  My headache and dizziness went away once the pill wore off.  Started again the next day and no headache so I kept going and took the two pills that day.  I have had no side effects since that first day.  It does curb my appetite and I haven't been hungry.  I am using my fitbit and the MyFitnessPal app to keep up with my exercise, calories and water intake.  I need to lose around 65 pounds.   Belviq costs me $75 a month, I got the discount coupon from my doctor.

Update...One Month 15 pounds down.  No problems at all, it's working for me."


"Very effective. Eliminates the anxiety associated with ADHD.

Able to process and function. None of the jittery side effects that I had with Adderall, Straterra or Concerta. It was the smoothest thing I ever took.

The only two knocks is that the medicine is off labeled and will not be covered by my insurance. Out of pocket can be $3-$400 a month? I can't cover that, so my joy will be short lived. "


"I didn't notice the heartburn until the second day of taking the medicine and it wasn't really too bad until the fourth.. that's when I decided to read the label.  Here's the thing with this one, I think the main problem is the capsule and our tendency to take medicine just before going to bed - with this one that is very bad!  I can take pretty much any pill without water (I wasn't doing that), I almost *never* get heartburn and it took me a while to figure out what was going on. Reading the pill container label it specifically tells you - do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking this.  That should be your first warning that this one doesn't go down easily.  So drink plenty of water with it and be prepared for the burn."


"The pen normally gets stuck in the middle of the each pens use. I normally throw away 1/4 to 1/2 of the medicine"


"This medication is Great."


"I've been on this medicine off and on for almost a year now. After I am on it for a few weeks, my joints start to hurt really bad. I think it is because of the diuretic nature of the drug. It doesn't stop the black heads. It also makes me get up in the night to pee. My Dermatologist says he has never heard of the joint pain being a problem and refused to believe its the spironolactone causing it. But after starting and stopping the medicine three times, I am sure it's the cause."


"I've been taking this medicine for almost a year now and have had little to no side effects. I take 200mg every two weeks by injection. The way that this medicine has improved my life is almost unbelievable. I feel like a teenager again! The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is the injections, but it's still worth a little pain to feel so much better!"


"Only 2 weeks into treatment so don't know about efficacy.  But no side effects whatsoever."


"I did increase in awareness but the grades are still the same for me."


"I am currently on 6mg of Risperdal and thinking about going up to 8mg. It has helped me control my impulses and stay on the right path. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia without paranoid thoughts. The paranoid thoughts only happen with street drugs. I still hear voices, but I seem to be managing them a lot better now. Both Halodol and Risperdal work extremely well for schizophrenia."


"I got hooked on painkillers because of chronic neck pain and have been so for the last 9 years. I have detox cold turkey at least a hundred times off of painkillers. Each time I wanted to die. This time I finally got on some suboxone and I mean to tell you that stuff is a miracle drug. First day I took 4 milligrams second day 4 milligrams third and fourth day. I'm going to cut the last 8 milligram strip into quarters and take that for four days and then I'm going to be done and I I'm never going to go back on the painkillers again it's too hard to get off of but that Suboxone works like a miracle."
