"I was prescribed Cipro after having a SEVERE bladder infection. Within 3-4 hours, I started feeling relief, by 12 hours I was almost completely better. Be sure to take all of the medication, or it may come back worse. Overall, Cipro worked like a charm and gave me almost instant relief. "


"Other users complaining of peeling and dryness- my doctor explained that this product is essentially an acid peel so that it can get deeper into your skin. I had the same sunburnt-like skin but I used Vaseline for a week and it went away. I have sensitive skin but it was prescribed for me anyway. Ultimately you've got to be VERY careful about how much you apply and when you apply it."


"I am 11 days into my diet/contrave. i have lost 13 pounds. the only side affect i have experienced is dry lips. Love it! i am only at two pills a day. i dont have the cravings i used to have. With the prescription card you get when you sign up.. brought my prescription cost to $70 a month. Which i have already saved in food! I was a donut and soda morning person. No longer feel the need for the sweets or soda! Also don't use the vending machines at work. Huge Savings!"


"I lost my darling husband 5 weeks ago. My doctor gave me Lorazepam 0.50 mg. I still get upset but I'm much better than I was. The crying and not eating was making me feel so much worse. These pills are a God send."


"I was on immediate release version of Seroquel 200mg and the side effects were horrible! Everlasting hungover and craving for foods like if it's a drug or I would be going withdraw aka blood sugar crashes. So my Dr switched to seroquel 200mg extended release and it was a GODSEND form of drug! Barely any of sedating effects and even lack of any hungover.... And the best part was that I forgot to eat breakfast by accident several times in a week.... If for immediate release I would be going crazy for missing breakfast. Imagine that!"


"I took the medication for two years as a teenager. It stopped the seizures but I lost all my energy and put on 40 pounds.  Once I stopped Depakote, I nearly lost all the weight within 2 months."


"Great for fibromyalgia"


"I've had botox injections 5 times and would definitely recommend it. They say it lasts for 6/8 months but mine have lasted the longest being 2 years. I'm very pleased with the outcome of it, it has made a massive improvement in my life."


"I am a 57 year old woman, 5' 6" and weighed in @ 234.6 lbs.  I started with the lower dose as recommended by my doctor on July 14, 2014 and it is now two-weeks later and I have lost 7 lbs.  I have been steadily gaining weight over the past 20 years but in particular the past 7 years.  This medication seems to be helping.  I will admit that the very first day I questioned whether I could continue taking this because I was so drowsy I could barely function at work.  However, each day got better and by the 4th day I did not feel any effects at all. I have now moved onto the stronger dosage.  I have also not experienced the constipation that many have complained about here on this commentary.  I am hoping for good results as time goes by."


"I have been on this anti-depressant for many years and while it has helped me to sleep, I have had really bad tinnitus, so I won't be taking it again."


"I think I was depressed when I was born. Had tried many antidepressants, but none worked even half as well as Nardil. I was on Nardil for 20 years until I was forced to come off of it by a psychiatrist, and cold turkey at that. That's been almost 2 years ago and I've not been the same since."


"Gabapentin not only helped with migraines, shortening their intensity, duration and also my recovery time afterward, but it also helped with spasticity, my duration and quality of sleep, muscle stiffness and pain and some cognition. I take it for issues surrounding traumatic brain injury and have had no negative side effects, but several positive ones."


"I got pregnant on this pill at 40! Missed four menstrual cycles in less than a year. Find something else to use."


"I had my first panic attacks immediately following the birth of my first son 18 years ago when I was 28 years old.  The panic attacks were horrific and occurred randomly. I was prescribed a few different medications that weren't successful, but when I was prescribed Imipramine, I felt I had my life back. I doubt that I could have continued to be a primary school teacher without Imipramine.  It has really been a miracle medication to me.  When doctors hear that I take Imipramine, they usually comment that it is a really old drug that has been around since the 60's. Then they ask if I'd like to try one of the newer drugs.  No way!  I feel perfect on Imipramine. I can't say enough great things about it."


"Hi girls (and guys), I know you're probably scared and worried right now and searching every single website on the internet right now to see what is going on. My boyfriend and I had sex on February 20th on the last day of my period without a condom, just to be safe we thought we should take the pill. Well I was scheduled to get my period on the 19th and I had taken the pill 2 times before just to be safe. I waited and waited and read reviews on this site just like you are now. I took two pregnancy tests after I had waited 4 days without a period (most nerve wracking moments of my life), they were negative and finally 8 days late came Aunt Flow. So with that ladies and gentlemen, be patient, don't stress as easy as it is, it will come soon!"


"Effective for stopping migraine but headaches and other side effects don't make it an effective remedy,  muscle pain, sleep apnea, stomach upsets even though I take omeprazole.  I was much happier taking imigran when I got a migraine rather than taking these tablets, and shall be seeing my doctor to ask about other possible medication that doesn't impose on my wellbeing as much,"


"I was given this to treat anxiety after buspar failed to work. It failed to work treating anxiety, but really knocks you out. The first time I took it to relieve anxiety I was asleep in 30 minutes all drowsy and knocked out. I awoke groggy, and wondered what in the hell happened to me."


"I loved it, when I lost awareness in the Hospital: I was given Ativan. It brought me back to normal. I wish I had some now."


"This is the ONLY birth control pill that's been effective for me; I tried around 4 other pills before I discovered this one. No breakthrough bleeding (one of the biggest problems I had with the other pills) and it's made my periods so much lighter (I used to bleed through tampons and pads and now my period is way lighter). I haven't gotten pregnant so I guess it's also doing what it's supposed to do, lol. Another bonus: I used to get painful cystic acne on my chin whenever it was my time of the month, and since beginning this pill I haven't had to deal with any acne whatsoever! The only problem I have with it is that I cry a bit more than I used to, but I don't really mind."


"I've had stubborn acne for years and have tried so many different products. This gel hasn't totally cleared up my skin, but it has definitely improved it. At first, I piled it on problem areas like a spot treatment and didn't follow the instructions to apply a thin layer all over every night. It didn't work that way- it needs to be used consistently. When I started using it properly, my skin got dry and irritated especially around my mouth but it adjusted pretty quickly (I skip a night when needed). My old hyperpigmentation has started to fade a bit and new breakouts go away faster, but it's not a miracle cure for me."


"I had a very long treatment time, 3Xweek, 2 8 hr. sessions with three types of chemo   radiation.  It was every 3rd week, Wed, Thur, & Fri. Wed/Thur were 8 hr. sessions, Fri, 4 hrs.  I was constantly vomiting, morning, noon and night.  I took this from the get go, but after about my 2nd session, I threw up a lot in the mornings, or if I coughed too hard even.  I know it would have been SO much worse without the Zofran. I think with the amount of treatment I had, both chemo and radiation, to both my chest and to my brain that I was VERY lucky I wasn't more sick, and frankly, I'm lucky to be here at all. Thank you  Cancer Treatment center and of course, thank you God!"


"I loved this birth control pill! I knew what day I would get my period and even what time. Every other birth control pill I would constantly spot and with this one I didn't. The one draw back about this pill is every month when starting a new pack, I would be very nauseous for about 3-4 days(usually just in the morning)."


"I've had terrible anxiety and stress problems for a few years. I've been on this medication for 2 weeks and I can feel the difference all ready .. The first week was weird... Trippy . I'm on 10mg and I'm so happy my constant worry is going.. I'm free to live again"


"I chose the Skyla after my second child. It was inserted 8 weeks after baby. At the 4 week follow up, they could not find the strings. 2 ultrasounds, pregnancy test, x Ray,  and CT scan later, they located the IUD in my abdominal cavity which required lap surgery to remove! What a disaster!"


"Honestly, I can't even believe this drug is still on the market.  Sure it may work for a couple weeks, but after I was on this for 3 months back ending in about 2012, I had every side affect listed in the brochure. I literally had to stop by the fire station on the way home from the pain clinic because I felt dizzy and like something wasn't right.  My blood pressure was 184/142.  The problem was it took over 6 months for it to come down, and now it's like 130/85.  This medication also turned my urine black, like blackened blood, that smelled putrid.  I got off the medication, then heard it was pulled due to a class action law suit.  Then I just stumbled on this... Wow!  I guess if your going to be on it, I wouldn't stay on for more than a mo"


"I've tried lunesta, ambien, and trazodone for insomnia. None of these worked very well for me. Thank god I found Belsoma. I received a trial pack and experimented with different doses. The 5 mg and 10 mg seemed worthless and had no noticeable effect. I decided to go with the 20 mg and wow, what a difference!

It usually takes me over 1 hour to fall asleep, but with the 20 mg belsoma, I've been consistently falling asleep within 20 minutes!!

I understand this medicine has not performed well for a majority of other people, however, my body chemistry has responded very positively to it.

So my opinion is if other insomnia medications have not worked for you, give this one a try and make sure you go with the 20 mg."


"Have been on topamax for migraine prevention for many years now. Have not had side effects from it. 100 lbs 5 ft. Works up to now for me! Love it!"


"I love Cambia. I took 4 doses of Imitrex in a 24 hour period and couldn't get rid of a migraine. Out of desperation I took a sample dose of Cambia my doctor gave me and my migraine was gone in 15 minutes. I called my doctor and had him call in a prescription for me.  It was the fastest acting pain reliever ever."


"I was on this first with tablets for a fortnight then injections once a month for 3 months. It gave me SEVERE mood swings and forgetfulness. "


Insulin lispro / insulin lispro protamine

"I have dropped my vial (3 different occasions) and broken them. That is over $700. out of pocket. I am sure I am not the only one this has happened to. I believe either plastic container or rubberized coating over the container could help to prevent this. The pen form is more expensive than the vials so that won't work. I consider use a "1".
"


"I just started my 4th week- up to 4 pills now and still very nauseated. This medicine works though! I've lost about 4 pounds so far. I have absolutely no cravings anymore and my portion size has greatly decreased. I hope it continues to work, minus the nausea though."


"Tysabri is the first medication I was put on after being diagnosed with MS. So far it has been very effective, I started taking it after recovering from my first attack. I don't know if it is the Tysabri or just my body healing, but over the last 6 months I have continued to feel fewer and fewer MS symptoms. I was even able to run a marathon recently.

I do treat positive for the JC virus antibodies, but my doctor had assured me that I can take Tysabri for up to two years with minimum risk of PML.

The injection typically takes 1 hour, with another hour of waiting (something the government had mandated for some reason or another), but I have not felt any side effects."


"I have acid reflux and Plavix is effected by Proton Pump Inhibitors since it has to be digested to be effective. Effient does not need this. This has really reduced my acid reflux distress."


"I like this pill! Ended my 2nd month and no nausea or irregular bleeding. I was on a higher dose pill before and was absolutely sick from it. My period is right on time from last month and I will continue this pill! It works great considering the condom fell off a few times, makes me absolutely thankful I'm on birth control!"


"I've used it on and off for 15 years.  It works fast for my anxiety.  While I only use it infrequently, it has always been safe and effective."


"Just about to start the full dose tomorrow. Other than the first day, I haven't really had any side effects. I'm now starting to notice a decrease in my appetite. I have lost 7.6lbs in 3 weeks. I guess that is good. After reading some comments though, I was hoping to have lost more. Will check back in, in about another 3 weeks."


"I had been taking the name-brand of this contraceptive for probably 18 years.  Then my insurance decided it would only pay for generic.  I started this one in October.  By Thanksgiving I had a raging allergic rash on most of my body.  ER dr wrongly diagnosed me, and after 2 other dr visits and a biopsy, they discovered it was an allergy to this drug.  It is now mid-February, and after 3 rounds of steroids, I STILL have some of the rash.  Torture for sure!"


"After started taking medication I have dry cough, chast heaviness and ED. Even when my primary doctor said it has no side effects"


Aluminum hydroxide / magnesium trisilicate

"I'm never having these again! I'm going to stick with the liquid.

When I chewed the tablets, they stuck to my teeth all over and some teeth became sensitive. It was hard to brush the pieces off. I didn't like the sensation either, nearly made me wretch."


"Yaz gave me my life back.  Before I started taking it, I had reached a point where I just couldn't imagine living the rest of my life with the upheaval caused by PMDD.  While it doesn't take 100% of the symptoms away, it makes life livable again.  I had to stop taking it for a month, recently, because of a prescribing miscommunication, and I was reminded just how much it does help, and how much my quality of life declines without it.  The drawback, however, is the cost.  My insurance does not cover it, and the cost steadily increases.  It's an awful catch-22, to need something so badly in order to be able to fully live one's live, but to have to struggle to afford it.  I'm waiting anxiously for a generic to be available!"


"When younger, I was a competative skier & let's just say falls on your back and Moguls catch up to you. 2014 MRI diagnosed, Congenital (short pedicless) Lumbar Stenosis, Foraminal Stenosis, Facet Disese, T2 hyperintensit 8mm synivoal cyst (lateral recess of exiting L5-S1 roots), also direct pressure on right Faccet. Herniated Disk, level II/L5. Much more, no room, what dd it take an ER Dr. after 11 yrs. after a decade of 5-7 yrs of injections (facets, etc), worse, nacotics, yet a tiny 7 pack, made me feel like 20 again? Why do what are called pain doctors push all these shots combined with narcotics, (which are disgusting), as opposed to long-term therapy with these. Over a 15 Yrs. of my life was wasted until two days ago. Side effects: 0."


"I have been on this pill for only two weeks now.  I absolutely can not get full and I want to eat everything.  Before I got back on the pill I had been losing weight and could control my eating, but now I can't get enough.  I have gained 4lbs in just 2 weeks.  My mood is terrible so far, unhappy and tearful most of the time.  I had taken this birth control years ago but I don't remember having any problem then."


"Taking Nuvigil  about 8 years for hypersomnia and SWD. It has greatly improved my quality of life. I was experiencing the insomnia that could result from this medicine, but once I found out the best time in my schedule to take it, insomnia is rarely an issue. I am grateful my doctor talked me into taking this medication so long ago."


"I have been taking Latuda for about two years now and I must say that it really works good for stopping the voices in my head. I also do not get depressed anymore like I was without the Latuda and my Bipolar disorder is a lot less hectic. I recommend this medication to anyone who might be suffering with Bipolar, Depression, and Scizophrenia. Latuda really works."


"After 30 plus years of SUFFERING with Psoriasis and after being on Stelara for 5 years now I don't have a skerik any where on my body.

I had a PASI rating of 91, now its 0.

Thank you Stelara."


"Had a bad respiratory infection. This worked great! For the metallic taste eat chocolate-peanut butter cups. It really works on getting rid of the taste in your mouth."


"While it did prevent pregnancy while I was using it, it has also stolen every bit of desire for sex I once had, putting a huge strain on my marriage. "


"I have been taking Amitriptyline for Fibromyalgia and have found it has worked well up until recently when I was put on Mirtazapine for depression.  Since then I have noticed the joint pain has increased markedly."


"This medicine wrecked me.  I had a drug induced psychosis, they had no business putting me on this.  The only positive is that it did snap me back into reality, but some clean time would have done that.  I have gained weight all in my stomach, I developed akathisia that lasted 2 months after discontinuing.  Also extreme anhedonia which can persist for up to a year.  I hope I return to normal way before that.  Please only attempt this med if you don't know which way is up."


"I take 45mg of mirtazapine! It helps me fall asleep but I still wake every 1 1/2hours or so, it has helped with my depression but like other users my appetite has gone through the roof."


"Have been taking this med since 1992 w/ some breaks here and there. I too have been on, what would seem, every med for Bipolar diagnosis. I take 1750mg and also take 400mg of Lamictal (another mood stabilizer which seems to help with the depression) My only issue had been weight gain which remains a problem. 10 years stable, after being hospitalized for 8 months due to manic episode and psychotic break (was only taking Topamax at that time). Would highly recommend."


"I was addicted to opiates for about a year, my boyfriend for 2 years or so. We did pretty much any sort of opiate under the sun we could get our hands on. We thrived on them. Our friend had the same PROBLEM we did and was expecting a son that coming year. He got his life straight and got put on Suboxone. Couple of weeks down the road we saw how GREAT he was doing and how he hadn't touched anything for those couple of weeks already. We were shocked, we decided that it was time to get our lives on track again. We went to the same doctor as our friend and now we have been absolutely clean for the past 2 1/2 months to the day. If you are addicted and want help, don't hesitate to get into the nearest doctor - trust me!"


"I was just wondering what does everyone started out at, and if and when they knew to increase.

I am currently at 5mg 2x day, I originally started out just taking 5mgs once a day at night, and then just recently increased to 5mgs 2xs a day. I know that is has helped, but i am still waking up anxious, and having some breakthrough anxiety in the day. I was wondering how others increased their does, and how they knew when they were at the right does for them."


"I was really excited initially to get NuvaRing. During the first week, I had really heavy bleeding, which ultimately turned into spotting almost every day for the next three months until I finally decided to have it removed. When I started Nexplanon, I was at a healthy weight for my height and frame, but lost about ten pounds despite no change in my eating habits, lost all of my breasts, and started looking too thin. I was also incredibly irritable and depressed on an almost daily basis, which put just as much of a damper on intimacy with my boyfriend as the virtually nonexistent libido that it gave me. After I got it removed and got back on the Pill, all of my symptoms went away. I wouldn't recommend Nexplanon to anyone."


"I have Shingles, on the 5th day I had pain so bad I could no longer sleep, a rash on left side front and back. I started on an antiviral on the 3rd day, which now at over a week is starting to lessen the symptoms of pain and red rash with blisters. But that gabapertin did not help at all with the pain, and caused anxiety and irritation. I asked my doctors office, to take note of it for the manufacturer, but they said they don't do that, that its up to the manufacturer, which made no sense, if the doctors who prescribe it don't inform the manufacturer, how would they know? The medicine is bad news, and didn't work for me at all, worse that that, it made me feel worse."


"Day 5 today, my doctor prescribed me this for mild panic attacks I have when at work. So far it has not been to bad, slight headaches and I am finding I am having trouble with my sleep. Its either a broken sleep, waking up a lot or sleeping but feeling like I'm not asleep (if that makes sense). However I have found that it has slightly worked so far, have had my thoughts of stopping because of the sleeping thing, but will keep at it after reading the reviews, seems to work for most people."


"This is a wonder drug. I was an avid Advil user for years. Then one day the pain just wouldn't go away. My mom suggested excedrin migraine and I've never looked back. Within 15 minutes that awful pain is gone. 1-2 pills depending on how bad the pain is and you'll be feeling better in no time!"


"My boyfriend of a year started on Zoloft 5 months ago, after trying many antidepressants. He totally lost his sex drive, and it changed his personality completely. He was no longer romantically interested in me and left me after 4 months on Zoloft. We would only reconcile on days when he didn't take his medicines. He recently switched and I hope the new medicine is an improvement."


"Got severe menstrual-like and abdominal cramps as well as severe diarrhea. But it worked!"


"History:  Switched directly from Depo-Provera after 3 years of use. Age 24.
Experience: Yes, it hurt.  The girl at planned parenthood called it "the vasovagal response" which is fancy for "feeling like you're going to pass out and throw up".  I've donated over a gallon of blood all total (pint by pint since I was 17) and am familiar with the feeling. Juice, water, rest and I was able to drive home.  I ADVISE HAVING A RIDE HOME PREPARED!  I get motion sickness and was fighting hard the whole drive.  About a day in bed with a hot pad, my body likes to sleep pain off.  Moving hurt, laying still hurt. I advise rolling back and forth so that the pressure is evenly distributed. "Menstrual-like cramps" for a week. 4 months, now GREAT, no pain or bleed."


"I have been taking Geodon for 2 weeks yesterday 20mg x 2. And this is my first day on 40mg x 2 . So far I can't tell if in manic or getting better.  I'm getting a lot more done and feels like manic.  I don't mind. But you hope it lasts I have been in a ....dark?... depression for almost 3 years ( and had 2 children), so now I'm just happy to be motivated to do anything at all. I'm really happy
"


"I have used this medication for over three years, with great success in combating lifelong inability to maintain focus, or to complete tasks, get to work on time, etc., etc.
Recently, my physician informed me that the manufacturer of Adderall had quit making immediate release tablets (was taking 1-2 20mg/day)- and switched me over to Vyvanse 40mg time released. Now I'm having problems sleeping, feel generally depressed. Doubt they quit making Adderall/as my doctor said...and think it is more likely the authorities was coming down."


"18, from the UK so get this lovely stuff for free. First smelt it and I was pleasantly surprised at the fragrance. I thought this won't be so bad! Made up my first litre of Moviprep in good spirit, and took the first sip; it was absolutely awful. The best way to describe it I think is if you fully dissolved salt into water and then tried to put as much sweetener in it as possible as if the salt would be masked! Along with that artificial lemon taste you get from things like Soothers for sore throats I was gagging every mouthful or sip. The only reason I gave this 3/10 is because after about 2 hours of starting the first litre I was able to flush my intestines out with a powerful gush."


"Zyprexa withdrawal is the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my 55 year old life. I took 2.5 mg for 6 years. Sure it helped me sleep for a few months and that is why I did not know what was causing the terrible grief and over all health problems I was experiencing. I was fainting without warning because of this drug. It ruined my life and I have not touched zyprexa in almost 2 years! It is a drug so terrible it should not be prescribed to anybody. The makers of this drug should be totally ashamed of themselves. They really should be punished for what they have done and continue doing to peoples lives with this drug. No joke."


"I went on Tri-Sprintec for acne and irregular periods, and it has definitely helped me regulate both. Upon being prescribed this particular BC I was terrified because of all of the negative reviews, so I figured I'd share my positive experience for someone who was in my position. The only noticeable side effect I've had is a bit of chest acne (which I never had before), but as I'm only on my third pack now I'm hoping it will eventually clear up!"


"Zoloft is a very good medication for anxiety and depression.  For me better with anxiety.  I am BiPolar I, am also on Zyban 150 a day. Taking these two medications together is fine as is also taking when you are BiPolar.  Only with a specialists direction, though.  I have been on Zoloft a couple of times the only side effect before was severe diarrhea.  This time when I started taking it I got butterflies in the stomach and flutters, but over time this unusual for me side effect left me.    Some say how many weeks to feel a impact. For me this last time was around 6 weeks. Which is normal. It's been proven that any time prior 4 weeks is most likely placebo effect.  But if you feel better well, whether a placebo effect or not, it's good."


"I have been taking Loestrin 24 for 3 months. I got a little moody at times, my period is lighter and shorter about a couple of days ago I started getting dizzy when I moved too fast and my breast got a little bigger. I'm going to keep using this  for months but if the dizziness don't go away I'm going to stop it. But all these comments I read are so positive then all the other ones. Thanks."


"I just got a sample pack of Lorzone along with a prescription for it. I took it just a little bit ago and while sitting there with my neck, back and legs cramping, all of a sudden, it was like a sort of rush came over me and a lot of the cramping and spasms just went away. Pretty awesome! I hope it continues to be this effective. I have a connective tissue disorder along with a long list of issues that stem from that. The only thing is, my doctor said its very expensive. I'm on medicare and disability. When I just dropped off the script, they said they have to get a pre-auth so insurance will cover it but I'm not sure how high my co-pay will be. I hope its not too much so I can continue taking this!"


"I started taking sigmapharm brand liothyronine. Almost immediately I got terrible tremors that last for hours. I was taking a very low dose 25mcg. After a week I also got a hypoglycemia attack, and I am not diabetic. Discontinuing and going to try perrigo brand liothyronine."


"I was put on this after attempting suicide and being diagnosed with depression, this medication definitely made me stable but I wouldn't necessarily say it was the best one for me. There was still many occasions that I would think about cutting and suicide, although I never took it upon myself to attempt again, I did cut multiple times while on this medication. It worked best for me when it was paired with Zoloft or Prozac."


"This medication works so well. The depression just goes away, and stays away. I wouldn't and don't ask for anything else."


"I have had a periodic skin rash on my legs that comes and goes, usually in the winter months but can appear any time. This cream clears this condition up in a matter of days. I recommend it."


"I was a bit scared to take this due to a bad experience years ago but the doctor said its the only anti biotic that will get rid of my current bacteria. First hour I took it, I was nauseous but I kept myself distracted and it's been a few hours and the nauseous has gone. The best thing is to drink a lot of water and eat well even if u don't have the appetite. It's only been a few hours so my symptoms are still there but I'm feeling quite positive that I'll be back to normal in the next couple days due to how strong this anti biotic is"


"I started on 30mg 2x/daily. I had initial loose stools, but have gone back to constipation. I didn't get much relief from my tachycardia, and also noticed an increase in body twitches (not tremors). I'm now trying 60mg 2x/daily and I still have the increase in twitches and most notably, headaches (worse than the normal every day ones), and breathing issues (I already have asthma and laryngospams). Not sure any benefit is worth these side effects, but it's only been a couple of days, so I'll give it a little more time."


"I have been on this birth control for about 2 years now.  I was originally put on it to help manage my acne, which it had little effect on but definitely did not make it worse.  I had no real side effects other than moodiness during my period which is normal BUT my periods would last 7 days.  Periods would be manageable but on the heavier side.  For a birth control it does it's job but I just switched to Loestrin 24 to shorten my period.  All in all, Tri-Sprintec is a good pill."


"This is the best preventer I've taken in thirty years of suffering from asthma - I've had no attacks at all since starting it three months ago, and minimal side-effects. Hoarseness was always a huge problem for me with other inhaled steroids, so much so that I frequently stopped taking them, and instead relied on relievers to treat my allergic and exercise-induced asthma, until my attacks became so frequent that I had no choice but to go back onto steroid inhalers. However, Alvesco produces only minimal hoarseness, and despite being expensive (apparently. Living in Scotland, I get free prescriptions :-)) I'd recommend strongly to other sufferers who've had problems with steroid-induced hoarseness"


"I suffer from erectile dysfunction and take one 20mg pill approximately every week. The effects kick in after at least couple of hours and can last 2 days or so. I can quickly rise to the occasion, feel thicker and much harder than usual and last for a long time.  The downsides are the high expense, mild headache, nasal congestion and temporary loss of sense of smell. All in all Cialis has helped me, and as the pros outweigh the cons and I will continue with the 20mg tablets."


"I got mine placed in August of 2014, I had a normal period after insertion and then the annoying "last day period" nonsense for three weeks. From September to March I had no period! Absolutely wonderful! However, now I'm getting break through bleeding, curiously the day after I have intercourse. It will be very tissue-y and not the typical period-like stuff. It lasts anywhere from a couple of days to over a week. I thought at first that maybe I was just getting a period. But since the beginning of March it has happened 4 times. I called my doc and she is going to get me in for an ultrasound and exam. She doesn't think its normal. Besides that however, I've had no issues."


"Doxycycline didn't work for me.  I still had acne on my back and face after being on it for almost a year.  It may have reduced massive breakouts on my face, but I'm not that impressed."


"This medication works well for me and I had no side effects. The monthly cost is so expensive!! $1875.72 monthly without insurance! With little to no help from the pharmaceutical company. When my insurance will pay for it it's $240. Monthly"


"My 4 year old was diagnosed with severe ADHD and we had tried several different medications before we got the clonidine, after being on the clonidine for about a week he had become calm, he listens better, he is just all round a more well behaved child. Clonidine is a God-send for anyone who has a child with ADHD."


"I've been on the patch two weeks now. The thing that's changed is I had spotting instead of a full period. I so recommend this. I tried mononessa the side effects were instant and horrific. I'm falling in love with the patch"


"Every drug I tried, allowed me to only achieve a sub-optimal response.  I have been in MMR for over a year."


"Took it for about a month and a half after being diagnosed with SVT.  No episodes but had 2-3 episodes of fuzziness/confusion  while trying to work.  Dr switched me to Diltiazem."


"I think this medication has really helped my state of mind and my ability to cope with new situations that I come across.  Some side effects, mainly the restlessness, is something I have an issue with, but its entirely manageable.  I feel like this medication has dramatically improved my quality of life."


"This medication does help with my anxiety, but after about an hour I'm so tired. I have trouble staying awake, and then I sleep on and off for half the day. On a better note though it does help me control my anxiety attacks."


"I have been on the lowest dose of injection pen for 1 week. I lost 4 pounds and had no noticeable side effects. Week 2 I increased dosage to next strength up and still no major side effects. So far so good. Only negative is price and I am battling with my insurance company to cover it."


"Horrible drug. Do not take this.

I was up to 250 mg before I decided to quit cold turkey. I was hearing things, nauseous, seeing things. I thought I was going insane.

I was a first timer in meds and I had to work on top of it. I fully trusted the doctor to prescribe me the right meds. The doctor laughed me off when I told him what I went through.  I thought I was going to die. After taking this drug I can never trust doctors again. It ruined me. He acted like it was no big deal.

Do not take this drug lightly. I'm so surprised that dotors are so cautious about giving benzos but not antidepressants.  They only care about the money  they are getting paid by big pharma. Don't get me wrong some meds work. But be careful you only get one brain"


"admit it losing weight is really a lifestyle adjustment. ive taken qsymia for a year now have had no side affects and great results. withe exception of a little fatigue but i also work 70 hours a work the doc suggested taking b-12 and vitamin d and it has helped a lot. i started out at 248 lbs and now weigh 182 and still going. slow but surely its hard for me not alot of time to get in the exercise and that is realy the key with medicine. as long as you do that the diet isnt as important. i have found in my case!"


"Wow, all negative reviews.... I am 26 yrs old. I had the Mirena placed in March. I've never had any kids, and we don't plan to for a while. Sure the Mirena placement wasn't the most comfortable thing, but think about it, it's not going to feel that great going in. I've had kidney stones, and a stent placed, so maybe my pain tolerance is higher than most others. I haven't had any problems with my Mirena. I am so glad I don't have to worry about taking pills every single day. My insurance covered the procedure 100% so I am saving about $2,000 during the next 5 years. I'm a happy camper."


"I have been on the generic of lamisil (terbinafine) for 3 months and have about a week left.  My toenails (4 severely affected, the rest just with a slight yellow tint) appear to be growing in clear.  I declined this medication for years because I had read about possible bad side effects.  I have had zero side effects with this medication and am kicking myself for putting up with years of embarrassment.  I would definitely recommend it.  The only bummer was not being able to drink for 3 months, but it appears to be worth it!"


"Newly diagnosed, but this has really helped me feel normal again. So far so good. I do struggle with the amount of pills needed though - right now I'm taking 4 in the morning and 4 at night."


"Have taken three different drugs of the same nature and purpose.
This has the mildest side effects. Nausea, sweats, insomnia, headache, joint pain, increased appetite, lethargy, dizziness are some of the side effects I am experiencing."


"Although I had some really crazy side effects, I highly recommend Chantix to those who are serious about wanting to quit.  I have taken Chantix for 3 weeks and am smoke free. I took before and quit but I took myself off and started back up once I was around smokers.  Now I will definitely take it for 3 months.  The side effects were the worst part. I had the very vivid dreams.  Some good but most of them were very very strange. Other side effects I had were nausea but that is only when I am around smoke right now.  And the last side effect I have is depression.  I notice that due to the other side effects I seem to be having more depression which I need to seriously take into consideration as to why and not really worry about it."


"I have degenerative spinal damage which in turn has also caused osteoarthritis in my back. I wake up stiff as a board and in pain. And I suffer from an overall achy feeling throughout the day. Tramadol has been a God-send (quite literally). I take 50mg first thing in the morning. And then a 2nd pill if my pain is greater that day. It only took a week or two to adjust and not feel like a zombie or sleepy. These work wonders for my pain and stiffness, and I have no side effects. Tramadol, I swear by. I'd be in excruciating pain without them, or have to deal with all the risks and effects of having to take heavy duty pain medicines. I recommend."


"37 yr old f..Suffered with ibsc going on 2y now.1st prescription of lizness for this issue this week (was trying otc products, they stopped working) all I gotta say is I can't complain about side effects or cost because I feel myself again FINALLY! My symptoms have caused me to become unreliable I just quit planning period,lost weight (gradually went to 112 from 130..now I'm 119 before linzess)taken 2 doses so far..have some gas/rumbling but no bloating yet. Have to take it in evening due to work sch..I don't think I will need it every day but will take it every day the 1st week just to see how it does. It would be good if ins covered..this is a REAL DEBILITATING ISSUE! I wish they new what causes IBS and I pray this med cont to work!☺"


"I'm am shocked to hear how disappointed everyone is with Botox and I'm sad too.
I completely understand the frustration, embarrassment and all round annoyance of peeing yourself.
I started having Botox when I was 33 (I have MS). I had to start catheterising after my 2nd lot of Botox.
This was the end of the world to me, 33 and having to use a catheter.
Now, I think Botox is a huge benefit to my life and using a catheter is the norm.
Obviously, everyone has different experiences but I love it x"


"Started Saxenda 1 week ago at 0.6. Today was my first increase to 1.2. Down 11 pounds so far. Side effects for first 2 days on 0.6 and again on 1st day of 1.2 are zero appetite and nausea, but after a couple days they go away. Stating weight of 297 hoping to get to 200. I have not exercised in last week."


"Was on Celexa but came off because of horrible side effects such as lack of focus, and EXTREME memory loss. I suffered in class because of this, I could not retain anything I learned and it didn't make me feel happy, just numb. I stopped it a few years ago. Started 10mg Viibryd a couple months ago and I feel happier, more focused and more ambitious than ever, I use it along side Vistaril for anxiety and Its incredible. For how bad of a rep it gets, its been a life changer for me. I am doing amazing in school now and I just generally feel right all the time now. Occasional brain zaps at night but they are infrequent. The payoff of this medicine is just too great to let a couple minor side effects stop me from taking it."


"Took Jalyn  for several months.  Leg cramps and weakness.  Began to experience a throat problem. Taken off and put on Avodart."


"I will never ever take this drug again. Never mind the cost and the horrendous taste. What bothers me is this: the same dose is given to someone who is  5'2'', 115 lb. and someone who is 6'4'', 225 lbs. Yes, I'm the smaller one in this scenario; three times I couldn't even make it to the bathroom. Yes, I spent a lot of time just sitting in the bathroom.  It didn't matter. It was way too much for me and I even reduced the amount I drank down on the 1st round. There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all when it comes to this drug. It works? It works for whom and in what way? Repeat: never again."


"Day 7, not so bad for me, the reviews really scared me. Slight headaches, metal taste in my mouth. That's about it, hope it works. Good luck."


"This medication is a painful experience. I took it last night to care for a mild yeast infection. After waking I found that my symptoms intensified and new ones occurred. The medication caused me to experience vaginal discharge that irritated my vagina even more, I became swollen and red, and it started to burn when I urinate.
I made a doc appointment and recieved oral medication to help the infection. My doc informed me that the reason Monistat1 is so painful for so many women is due the high levels of medicine within the 1 dose. The medication also irritates the skin so much that it causes the swelling , redness, and burn. She said that the 5 or 7 is much better...or paying a visit with the doc for some med."


"This is my second yeast infection that I've used monistat/miconazole for. The first time I had the worst infection ever--massive cultures that hurt when I walked because they rubbed together. I did the 7 day Monistat and found immediate relief. No itching or burning. I used it all week. Now, a year later, I have another yeast infection, but not as bad. This one I tried the natural remedy for a few days, but it wasn't clearing up fast enough for my liking so I got miconazole 1. I have NEVER felt a burning and itching like this. It's been about an hour now and the sensations have gone away, but this better work so that I didn't suffer for nothing. Yeast infections are the worst."


"This is a great medicine. It keeps my anxiety in check and I no longer have panic attacks. I take 1mg 2x a day and have had nothing but great results. Have been on it for 10 years now."


"It was fantastic when I started taking it, I finally felt myself after 3 years of feeling possessed or going crazy...after 3 years of taking it I started to have cysts behind my ears, in my face, especially in the chin, and when I realized it was lamictal that was causing it I stopped it. I still have cysts, I was told it's an allergic reaction on my skin to the drug. Now, after 2 years not taking it the cysts are appearing still but not as fast or defacing as it was. I read on forums the condition could never cure, but I am seeing good progress on my skin. It was a nightmare, it even gave me cysts on my scrotum. The body is slowly expelling them, but very slowly. I also have 3 cysts on my left nipple and I think those will need surgery."


"At first this medication impaired my ability to drive a lot. My depth perception was way off making it very dangerous for me to be on the road, over time I did notice my migraines were less often and sometimes I would get all the symptoms of a migraine (light sensitivity, nausea) but no pain, kind of like a ghost migraine, which was weird and inconvenient. For the most part I think this medication is worth a try. I am currently on 25mg."


"My Raynaud's Syndrome is about 90% better. A cold steering wheel in the winter or early spring is almost the only time I have white fingers anymore.  I can shop in the dairy and meat departments now, and don't get cold at work anymore.  Taking felodipine has been a blessing for me."


"Been on Buspar for 3 weeks. Weened off of lorazepam and using Buspar instead.  Big difference.  Started on 15mg 3 times a day. Then 30 mg 3 times a day.  Now experiencing muscle pain, upset stomach, bad taste in mouth. I think my dosage is to high. At 15mg no bad side effects. When I get dosage straightened out. I think this will be a fine medication for my anxiety problem."


"Having the skyla inserted was one of the worst pains I have felt. For about an hour after I was super nauseated and faint. I would definitely recommend taking pain killers before. I have now had it in a little over a year and I love it however I have struggled with my weight this whole time. I have gained about 8 lbs. I am a person who constantly works out and eats pretty healthy most the time. Because of this I am thinking of getting it removed and getting the copper IUD. I also have pretty bad bloating, however my periods are great and light."


"Changed my life. I had been experiencing slight bouts of anxiety starting at around age 19. Hitting me hard, randomly of course, only a few times a year. Then when I was 24 something changed with my anxiety and I became completely crippled by it. I was being consumed by constant anxiety, worry, fear, etc every single minute of everyday including when I slept. I was out of control emotionally and mentally. I had to take a box of tissues with me everywhere because the anxiety was so severe I would burst out into tears even during the "happiest" of times. Finally after suffering for months I decided to give  Cymbalta a try, reluctantly though. After a week of relatively mild side effects it had changed my life and saved my life."


"Got the implant in Sept. 2016 (not that long I know) but I already am scheduling to take it out. My Dr. said she wont remove until after month 3, she said the first couple months are your body adjusting to it. Cool. But I haven't had a 'real' period but Sept & Oct I have been spotting for at least 2 1/2 weeks. First time, was OK I get it.. adjusting. This time I'm just over it. I'll wait another month to see if it gets better, I have a friend who said by her 4th month everything was 'normal' but I get everyone is different. Or maybe I shouldn't complain and just get used to spotting every day for the rest of my life :|"


"I have taken for about 7 years now. I never had stomach problems but got what they thought was an ulcer, later endoscopy showed no ulcer, but signs of Barrett's esophagus.  I also had hoarse voice, especially in the morning. Ph study pointed to GERD.  Long story short, no more hoarseness. Subsequent scopes show no signs of esophagus damage. Now for the bad. Very rarely, when I eat fast, I do get choking sensations that I did not ever have before. Also, if I run out of the medicine and/or miss a dose or two, wicked bad heartburn. Never had heartburn before. As long as I stay on it I am good. "


"I've only been taking Trazadone for about a week, but it has been a life changer for me so far. My insomnia was so bad at times that I would be lucky to get 2, 3 hours of sleep, it even that. Followed up with a 9 hour work day. I tried every natural approach for years but I would wake up constantly every night and not be able to fall back asleep. Since taking trazadone (50 mg) I fall asleep and wake up maybe once a night, but fall back asleep fast. I've taking anti depressants in the past, and I find all of them very mild. No night sweats, and I haven't even had a vivid dream yet. I also only have taken this on nights that I really need to. And morning grogginess goes away after a shower and cup of tea and sure beats a day of hell at work."

"I've been taking Alesse during my course of Accutane, which requires a birth control be used simultaneously regardless of sexual activity. I've enjoyed it a lot! My acne is clearer, without extreme breakouts around my period like I used to have. In fact, I now have no period symptoms and the easiest, lightest period. I've also noticed that I don't have to worry about bleaching the hair on my upper lip - a nice perk. For me, there have been no side effects at all."


"Had cold sores on lips & nose regularly since childhood.  But not in the 10 or more years that I've had a Denavir prescription.  In that time, if I apply at the first tingle, it rarely ever breaks through to become a sore.  It has been a blessing.  The cost is ridiculous.  $700 plus, with a ~$175 insurance co-pay usually.  Almost fainted last time I refilled, as CVS listed a $135 coupon on the receipt, so I wound up paying only $20.  Do not know what that was about (asked no questions).  I skipped out of the pharmacy quickly and enjoyed my surprise Christmas present!"


"I have been using Taclonex for about 10 months. It seems to do some good for a week or so at a time, then things flare up as it seems like I have been using nothing. It just is not very consistent. "


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


"My 6 yo son was only on this 10 days before yanking him off of it. The first day he ate almost nothing, threw up by 5pm and was awake at least 3 hours after putting him to bed. That day and the next few days he talked incessantly and had dry mouth, but his ability to attend in school was a little better but only for maybe 4 hours tops. By the last 3 days, it was making him worse. He was very irritable and was literally bouncing off the walls, and made his impulsiveness even worse. He was crawling on the floor, biting his nails wildly, licking things...you name it. This was a kid that most other people never even knew had issues, but within a week on Vyvanse, he was definitely acting wild."


"I started out on 100mg in the morning.   I was falling asleep an hour later, so the doctor put me on 200mg.  I still was very sleepy, but then the sleepiness would wear off.  I drove about 60 miles into town and I was driving very fast and taking risks I would never do normally.  It also made me want to buy lottery tickets. The increase of compulsive behaviors is very true with this medication..
I stopped taking it immediately. It was too expensive anyway!"


"This medicine has kept my periods regular and predictable. I had problems with Yaz and Ocella causing major mood swings and decided to go off birth control. My obgyn suggested Norethindrone to keep my periods monthly since I don't cycle without medicine helping me. It hasn't failed me yet in 15 months."


"I always get bronchitis in February.  Last February was no exception but it actually went into pneumonia very quickly.  Probably had something to do with fact I was moving that week...Worked too hard and got no rest. Had no choice, went to Urgent care and as I said I get bronchitis every yr.  Always take Z-pack, good cough syrup and an atomizer and rest and get well.  This time they gave me Augmentin.  875 mg. twice a day for 10 days and Steriod round and cough medication. Long story short ended up in ER with Jaundice. and weakness that was indescribable. Spent a wk. in hospital pushing fluids as this was a rare reaction to the Augmentin.  Very scary drug. Tested me for everything.  Dr was convinced that it was a reaction to the Augmentin."


"I'm a 21 year old who has never given birth and had skyla inserted yesterday. Honestly if I had it my way I would've stuck to the pill! But as I've recently been  put on medication that severely decreases the effects of hormonal birth control, IUD it is!
I took the 800mg of Advil (and a klonopin) an hour before. This definitely was not a fun experience for me. And I don't say this to scare anyone, the pain is definitely uncomfortable, but my body went into shock after all the anxiety and I wound up almost passing out and throwing up. My doctor handled it great though, did an ultrasound to make sure my discomfort wasn't due to anything messed up. Some people have strong reactions some don't. Just know your body, 24 hrs later and I'm all good!"


"I've been diagnosed with rhabdomiolitis. The pain it brought was excruciating - 15 on a scale of 1 to 10.

The rheumatologist ordered an initial dose of 4 mg by IV (this is an unusually high dose, the pharmacy double checked with the doctor before releasing the medicine). Subsequent doses were only 2 mg.

Dilaudid took away ALL of my pain within 60 seconds. The relief lasted through the night, allowing me a full night of sleep. Hydromorphone, the tablet form, is far less effective than I.V. In fact, I was down right disappointed with the tablets. They seemed to do nothing at all for the pain. It's hard to believe that hydromorphone tablets and Dilaudid I.V. are the same medicine.

I will request for my doctor to prescribe the Dilaudid injections."


"I LOVE this birth control! I've been on it for almost a year. The first month or two my appetite shot up, and I gained a little weight. But after that first month or two my body finally got used to it, and my appetite went back to normal, and weight went down again. Other than that there were no side effects! And it's done its job in preventing pregnancy!"


"I've tried many medications for Fibromyalgia. Most of which made me tired and lethargic all the time. They also made me sick constantly! Ever since I started taking the Savella, I've felt much better on a day to day basis. The Savella doesn't help with all the symptoms, but it takes away a lot of the burning feeling/sensation and also helps with the anxiety and depression as well. I wouldn't trade it for anything else!"


"I am almost on my third week of the patch. The first day was AWFUL, my cramps were so bad I couldn't sit through a meeting with my professor and he told me not to go to class. The next day was absolutely fine and has been fine ever since. My breasts have already gotten much fuller. So far no weight gain I don't think, a little itchiness at the site of application, but it seems to be working really well."


"Epiduo is amazing and I feel like I can go to school without having people look at me like I'm a big target. I have been on Epiduo for 2 days and all of my scars/major pimples have vanished into thin air. My skin doesn't dry out or have any of the side effects because I have used such intense things on my face like salicylic acid pads. But be sure to put on CeraVe Am lotion with SPF 30 to protect your face!!! I'll be giving an update in another month, so I wish you luck in your skin troubles and for Epiduo to cure them."


"I have read all the posts and they all sound very similar. I will tell you I had the problem since I was a small child but it was chalked up as being a bed wetter. No treatment. Got married and symptoms not only worsened with intercourse but was treated as bladder infections instead of sever IC (was never diagnosed until many many years later). After having three children the spasms were so intense with the severe pain of IC I thought I would loose my mind. Pads were my best friend for the most part but would not be able to control the urine with the intense spasms so had a lot of wetting accidents even after taking every med created to treat the spasms to no avail. The vicious cycle became quite depressing. Always making sure I knew where.."


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"I have been taking plaquenil for over 6 weeks to treat autoimmune hair loss. My hair and itchy scalp has not improved at all. In fact it was even worse for a few weeks. Now I'm getting sores all around my eyes with a cyst on my eyelid and an inflamed blood vessel. I called my rheumy today to ask for a switch. I'm very disappointed because it seemed like the best out of the bunch for side effects."


"I strongly feel without DuoNeb every four hours up to five times a day I would no longer be here. I qualify for a lung transplant but because of my reaction to steroids this is the next best thing along with Serevent twice a day."


"Absolutely love this medication. I suffer from chronic migraines and daily headaches. I take 4mg of Zanaflex at breakfast, 2mg at lunch, and 4mg at bedtime. I'll take 6mg during a migraine attack and it helps tremendously with the pain, helps me sleep, and actually helps with the nausea.

Zanaflex made me very drowsy at first and still does taken at doses of 4mg. Overall, incredibly helpful drug!"


"I absolutely have to say this drug is a miracle. I have severe insomnia and clonodine helps me greatly. I mean it completely knocks me out at night and I do not wake until the next morning. Which is just a wonderful thing for me and my long journey of struggles with insomnia."


"I've had an up and down experience with Jolivette. The first week was a bit rough with some dizziness, increase in appetite, and slightly more emotional. However, those initial symptoms disappeared within the first month. What's been driving me crazy is my period. It came a week after I began the pill (I also was incredibly emotional the day my period came). Then I had two weeks off before it came again. And again. And again. Three months on Jolivette and my periods are becoming longer (7+ days from 4 days) and with only 4 or 5 days in between. And recently my hair has started growing in straight after being solidly curly. I recently went off it and still got my period right on schedule as if I was still on it!"


"I have just about menopausal symtom listed and it makes my life extremely difficult. Sweats, mood changes, muscle pains, depression, general irritability, you name it, I have it.

I was on Angeliq for 2 months and felt tremendous relief after 15 days. I did a BP checkup once and had a slightly increased BP (140/100), got afraid and stopped (BP could have gone up for 1000 various reasons, right).

All the symptoms came vack within 5 days, with vengeance. I have been consuming large amounts of soy, macca powder, linseed oil, as well as started raw food diet. Nothing helped, not even a slight bit.

I decided to go back on Angeliq as soon as possible, my checkup is OK

Really helpful medication"


"I began taking Valium from doctors in 1968 or 1969 when I was in the Vietnam War and experienced a great deal of combat which affected me very much. It helped.

I have been taking Valium for decades. It increases irritability greatly probably because of head wounds that caused brain damage. 1000 to 1200mg Carbamazepine stops or reduces the irritability.  Unfortunately, the combination of the two medicines causes tiredness."


"I rate this bc a 5 because right now I'm not sure what's going on. I started on Aug 30 first day of my period on a Sunday.  In between then and now haven't noticed too many side effects other than feeling sensitive. There's only 21 days on the pack my period last about 6 days once I started. Its the end of the pack and I started spotting early this week on A Monday the 15 and still bleeding and it's Saturday. It's light but of course it's not like my normal cycle. There's a lot of cramping.  But I don't like that I haven't finished the pack and bleeding already so I'm just really unsure if I want to continue."


"It's the silver bullet! Well, for me at least. I can only add my highest recommendation for Bactrim to treat my cystic acne, the kind that produces cysts around 2-3 cm in diameter all over my body and face. I've been on Accutane and every other antibiotic there is, but the Bactrim has saved me. It is hard on your digestive system, and I still haven't come up with a good solution for that yet, but I can certainly live with it if it means no more painful cysts which need to be cut out and operated on medically (no fun at all).

I've always had cystic acne, but the Bactrim seems to kill the bacteria that produce the cysts, so as long as it keeps working I'm happy."


"Used it for 3 days. Ankle swelling and pain now much reduced and can walk properly on left leg. Still some pain in big toe."


"I got the Depo shot in Aug. of 2015. My husband had just gotten home from the army and we did not want children until I finished college. The 1st shot cycle I did not get my period but we were still using other forms of contraceptive just in case. During the 2nd shot cycle I started lightly spotting but the doctor told me that was normal. I noticed the spotting was not going away throughout the entire 3 months and decided I did not want to go in and get my 3rd shot.  I had gained weight, was irritable, and my sex drive had significantly decreased and was beginning to take a toll on my marriage. It has now been exactly 32 days since I should have gotten the 3rd shot and I am still bleeding extremely heavily, everyday and absolutely miserable."


"This pill was awful for me.  I had the worst mood swings.  I was constantly depressed, crying or miserable.  I gained close to 15lbs in the first month I was on it.  My appetite could not be curbed and was eating everything in sight.  The bloating was terrible too.  Overall I hated this pill for me."


"My oncologist was enthusiastic to put me on Ibrance due to the reports and fast tracking of approval for the drug.   I was on Ibrance for 6 months and it was a disaster.   The drug did nothing for the cancer.  In fact, the cancer spread a little with use of Ibrance.   The side effects were great.   Normal hematocrit levels should have been 35-45, but with Ibrance, mine were 20-25.  It wiped out my immune system, made me anemic, and provided a whole host of negative side effects.   I know of a few people who were also on Ibrance and it did not work for them.   One of them ended up in the hospital for weeks.  I have had a hard time connecting or finding patients who have had a positive experience.   Ibrance is not as advertised."


"Hot flashes throughout the day; moodiness and moderate depression and moderate fatigue."


"I have been taking saxenda for just over two weeks and I'm on the 1.2 ml dose. I have had no nausea apart from the first dose but after the 11th day I have noticed a rash on my tummy that doesn't want to go away (very itchy) has anyone experienced a rash from using saxenda? I have lost 2 kilos in 2 weeks."


"This medication is excellent for anxiety ,depression, bipolar type 2 disorder and also helps with any pain that the patient my be suffering from from pain from depression and/or chronic pain. However this medication will not cure your pain if it's chronic, but it will alleviate it a lot and you wont have to take so much prescription pain killers. I'm speaking from personal experience and from the experiences of others. The only problem is that this medication is very expensive especially if you don't have prescription drug insurance and there's no generic for this yet."


"Tramadol is my miracle drug! 50mg 4-6 times a day but usually only need about 3 for my chronic pain. It doesn't keep me up at night like other opiates (i've tried many others) but what I love most about Tram's is that they aren't as addicting as the other opiate pain meds on the market! Take 1 tramadol and the pain goes away! Not to mention it puts me in a great mood- not like a "high" or euphoria but almost like what an antidepressant should do- or a mood enhancer. I don't find it addicting as it is extremely mild, but it definitely gets the job done. I've been on it for months and i'm so glad I asked my dr to switch me from Oxycodone to these. Tramadol also helps with my anxiety too! Only downside is that they give me headaches sometimes."


"I started balziva because I was having irregular periods( every 7-10 days), within 3 months, my period was regular. I did not gain weight because of the pill but it did cause my breasts to get a bit bigger. I still get periods on this pill lasting 2-6 days, with only one day of bad cramping and they tend to be light. The lack of side effects make this a good choice. The cost is a bit much where I get it currently, at around 17 dollars a month."


"I started taking Ceftin for Bronchitis and I felt better within 2 days. I stayed on it for 6 weeks and my sinus condition and ETD symptoms went away after 4 years. This was a miracle for me."


"Just got prescribed this drug yesterday. 2 a day for 3 days. Took my first dose in the morning and the second at night, I fell asleep soon after. A few hours later I was woken up with terrible stomach pain and serious nausea. I ended up vomiting several times. After, it felt a little better but then the pains came right back and nausea persists. Cant sleep, don't think I want to deal with another night of this, hate this medication"


"I started on Depo 4 months ago after having my birth control pills switched 4 times in the past 12 months.  I had to keep switching pills because I was having EXTREME bleeding, which eventually lead my doctor to test me for cancer.  Being tested for cancer at 26 years old, is life changing.  Luckily it came back negative.  I already suffer from migraines, and had been changed to a new migraine medication that conflicted with birth control pills, so I needed to chose a new method of birth control.  We found out through the cancer tests that I have an abnormal cervix, so IUDs are not an option for me, so I chose Depo. So far, so good.  No periods!  No weight gain, no mood swings. Working for me so far!"


"I've had my implant for a year now and tho it has prevent a pregnancy the first 3 months were great no complaints but then I started getting headaches everyday. I stuck with it cause I wanted my body to adjust to the implant but then my periods went from a week long to now they are almost 2 months long! I get maybe a week and a half off no bleeding at most. I had an IUD and loved it but I want to start having kids in October after my wedding. I can't do the pill everyday and don't want the shot either but I am sick and tired of these periods. Also does anyone else get severe cramps after an orgasm since you've had this implant?"


"My feet have always been the worst, with hands next. My feet actually got better but my hands are way worse and now I have plaques on the front of my legs. A bad trade off !!"


"I've had a horrible experience on this medicine. It makes me really irritable, even more depressed and anxious. "


"4 1/2 Months into taking INH. Just got back from the doctor and my liver enzyme levels are over twice the normal! I Have only starting feeling the side effects in the last couple of weeks. slight liver pain, yellow urine, vomiting etc. I think for the most part though I did it to myself as I did drink heavily 3 times over the last few months (I'm a 21 year old male).  Going for check ups regularly to finish out the 6 months. If liver enzymes go above 3 times the norm, advise is to stop medication."


"I have used Enbrel for more than a year to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis.  I have had no adverse reactions to the injections and have been pain-free/symptom-free since the 3rd day after my first injection. I have used both the pre-filled syringe and the pen, both are fairly easy to use, but the pen is by far the easiest between the two."


"Too many warnings. I want a refund. There is plastic in these pills. They bounce. Wtf? Gave me a nasty flu like headache. Do not waste your money. Don't know why doc wrote this crap. Never again."


"I started on Contrave a month ago and have lost 7 pounds, I really did not start to lose until I got up to the full dose and now am dropping almost every day. I have had zero negative side effects. In fact, I feel more energetic and focused. I tried Qsymia and it was awful. Contrave is great, I really think I will finally be able to lose weight now that I am on this medicine."


"I do not know if it is just me, but I had to discontinue using Sprintec because, apart from the horrible mood swings, I almost vomited in my boss' face on the first month. Everybody thought I was an alcoholic, because I was found vomiting in really questionable places; I also started getting really bad acne (my face skin was like a baby before I started the medication), to the point where that made me really self aware and uncomfortable. The acne was horrible and was accompanied by itchy skin and a reddish, burning feeling... I stopped the pill one year ago and it took my body a while to go back to how it was. Right now, my face is not like before, but the acne went away and left scars"


"I have had a headache for four weeks with no other symptoms. Had tried other allergy medicines but they did not work. Within a matter of hours my headache started to fade after my doctor gave me Xyzal. I didn't even think the headache was allergy related until then. Feels so good."


"I must be far off from where I should be, hormone-wise, because I've only been on this Medicine for one full day when I woke up extremely aroused. I'm not taking this for libido,  but for depression. A nice side effect, although I imagine it will balance out soon."


"I am taking 4mg of risperidone for 6 years. I was feeling much better. Now a month ago my blood glucose has gone up and my doctor told me I can't have  sugar any more . I have stop having my period 6 month ago . I am worrying . "


"After multiple surgeries, office procedures and test done on me the results are low progesterone.  My doctor put me on this pill.  For the last two months and now into my third pack of pills I no longer have heavy long periods.  I do recall missing a dose and/or taking my pill late caused me to have a period and/or spotting and/or long heavy periods.

Now, I make sure I take them every day at the same time clockwise %u2026 so far it works and I have not had a period or spotting in about 35 days.  I am not pregnant; occasionally, I get a light headache or feel a little dizzy and realize that I need to eat something; after I eat, the light headache and little dizziness goes away.  I've lost weight vs. gain weight from the pill.  "


"I am a healthy, 15 year old girl that decided to start taking Loestrin 24 as a birth control. I've been on it for 4 months. My periods are only for the 4 days that I am off the pill, and I spot irregularly in between periods, but not very often. This pill has made me cry much more easily, but I have not become depressed. I haven't gotten pregnant either, so it works. This pill is very effective and doesn't have many side effects, recommended."


"I have been on (or was on) orsythia for about two years. I took a break from it to try the Nexplanon implant, but came back after a few months. The first time being on it was so-so. My first period on it lasted about 3 weeks. After stopping and being on it again, they lasted a normal amount of time. This birth control never did anything to lighten my period, but it did help regulate it and my cramps stopped. I also never experienced any of the bad side effects that the other people leaving reviews have. However, I have not ever taken it late, nor have I missed a day, and I still ended up pregnant. I still give it 5 stars because of the positive experience I had with it before I got pregnant, but I guess it does happen."


"Since I've been changed to Viread/ Epivir/ + Kaletra, my viral load has remained constantly Undetecable for ~4 Yrs;  my T-cell count went from 210 to 325 very quickly; in the last year, with no changes to anything my V-load remains undetectable & my T-cell count has soared to 725!!!  Sounds fantastic.  However, during this same period of rapid TC rise I have slowly become more & more tired, weak, & my bones ache from head to toe.  I no longer have the strength to ride my horse or even do the yard work.  My Doctor believes I may be suffering from Lactic Acidosis.  But he is convinced that it is because of the Viread ~ NOT because of the Kaletra.  I will now be replacing Viread with Abacavir & CONTINUE taking Kaletra.   Hope it works."


"I took one tablet with water and an hour later had the worse pain I have ever had this carried on and I called 999 I later blacked out and woke up to find my bowel had emptied then the ambulance came. I have never had pain like this and  now use a fig based natural remedy which is a lot softer"


"I am now taking Provera for the 3rd time . It works but I have had some extra hair growth on my stomach but I am willing to deal with that because I have been trying to conceive for 8 years. After I get my period under control I will start taking Clomid. My husband and I are praying this time it will work."


"Pros:
didn't get pregnant

Cons:
had to go on the combined pill anyway to stop a constant heavy and extremely painful period.
Period between packs of the pill was even heavier and more painful. Took over a week of taking the pill again to make it stop.
Awful mood swings.
Pain at the insertion site
Once it's in, the NHS will be VERY reluctant to remove it if you have problems
Botched insertion made removal even more difficult difficult when I had to be hospitalised due to the blood loss
Bottom line: don't do it"


"I've been on this for a week, on 100mg dose, but this stuff is tearing me up. I am urinating frequently and every time it's an emergency run to the bathroom. I have to walk out of meetings at work. I used to have a bladder of steel. I wake up 3 times per night to pee.  My thirst is almost unbearable. After 1 week, both my wife and I have yeast infections. My penis is burning. Now, I also have diarrhea. I am a mess."


"I've been taking this medication for three weeks. I have had some nausea, (when my body is telling me is time to eat). I could go all day without eating but my stomach will start to rumble telling me to eat. Yesterday I started the two in the morning and one at night,  but I became very anxious,  and jittery later in the day,  so today I went back to one in the morning and one at night,  because that is working well for me right now.  I'm 5'4 and I started at 206 pounds. Today I'm 194 pounds. This medication will not take weight off, you have to eat healthy and exercise. I have totally made a life style change taking carbs,  and sugar out of my diet.  My body does not even crave sweets anymore."


"Treating for high (and increasing) IR. Two weeks of .75 and just did first 1.5 today.

Biggest thing I noticed is...it takes a really long time for me to be hungry again after a meal. Reading the effects, it makes sense. One of the effects of the medicine is to slow down stomach clearing. So, I ate a reasonable dinner on Monday night...Yogurt Tuesday that I could barely finish. Yogurt Wednesday. Thursday night, another reasonable dinner. Friday and Saturday yogurt, Sunday soup and salad...and very seldom do I get hungry. Down 5 lbs in 2 weeks (from 182 to 177). No nausea, but I did have a few bouts where I felt a little cramping. No bad stools (actually, with so little eating, very few stools at all). Won't retest for IR until September."


"Been on Belviq for four month lost 43.2 pounds. No side effects. Started at 5"10 243 pounds and now at 200 pounds, 59 year old guy. Feel great blood work getting cleaner. Cardio on the way along with fewer carbs. Stopped smoking after six weeks but was a half pack a day, 20 year smoker."


"I was taking a lot of pills, some of which weren't working for me. Of course what works for the guy next to me might not work for me and vice-versa because our genetic make up is different. I have been taking this drug for about 3ish years and well I didn't noticed a difference until about 2 months ago when I raised the dosage by 5mg a day. I was on other antipsychotics as well as antidepressants and stuff for bipolar disorder. I'm on 400mg injection of abilify monthly as well as 5mg pill form a day still to this day. When I raised the dosage the voices stopped. They usually come back in some environments like at work, the gym or even when I get stressed but the voices and abnormal thoughts dimmed down dramatically I feel almost normal.."


"Had excruciating right shoulder pain radiating down my right upper arm to my shoulder with limited restrictive  movement in my right arm/hand. Diagnosed tendonitis. Doctor prescribed Flector Patches which I started and noted "pain relief" in 48hours with full movement in my right shoulder, arm and hand. Very, very satisfied with Flector treatment and returning to full range of motion with my right upper extremity."


"I have been on this medication on and off for about 5 months now and it’s been rough I can’t think of anything positive to say about it I can’t sleep I have to take medicine just to sleep I have been feeling depressed and unmotivated and I have gained so much weight I use to weigh 165lb after getting back on this medication I am now 187lb after about a couple of weeks.  I'd honestly rather that I have delusions and hear voices than to have life stripped away from me like this. I am not hearing voices but my doctor still wants to keep me on it no emotions or feelings on this med currently on 156mg injection"


"Black female with cystic acne and dark spots on cheeks and under chin! I am so happy with Aczone. 2 months in and I look different without the bumps on my face. It is also slowly breaking up my dark spots too! Really calmed down my acne and I feel good about the progress!"


"Be very careful! With in an hour of taking the first dose my husband was in a coma and never recovered."


"I've been on quite a few different kinds of medications for anxiety and depression, but I've never had a reaction quite like I did with this one. Within hours of taking it for the first time, I began to feel nauseous, drowsy, uncoordinated, shaky; my vision was blurry and I couldn't drive a car. These symptoms persisted until I stopped the medication. I tried it once or twice after stopping the first time, and the horrible symptoms came right back. I couldn't even do my work. If you have any sensitivities to this medication I would not recommend it. I'm no doctor, but even I know when a pill isn't worth the risk."


"Did not work"


"it helps me"


"was prescribed this for dealing with pain after 4 of my wisdom teeth got extracted. all I can say is that the pain relief lasts very momentarily and I still feel absolutely awful after. tried doubling up and that didn't help much either. considering asking my doctor to put me on stronger medication, because this stuff hasn't worked wonders at all.

I'm not excited to see how the next few days will pan out if this medication is barely able to hold my pain back."


"Good adjunct with analgesics."


"I've had Nexplanon for about 4 months now. My first period after getting it was a week late but regular as far as bleeding amount and length, after that I have not had a period in over 2 months which is great and it is very effective as far as me not getting pregnant. After I first had it implanted I had a lot of cystic acne on my jaw and cheeks but that cleared up after about 2 months and hasn't returned. No cramping at all since getting it. But I've gained about 15 pounds which is the only reason I'm thinking of getting it removed. I'm happy with it otherwise. I'm dieting and exercising more to see if I can drop the weight but if not or I keep gaining weight I will be having it removed."


"I had the mirena for 3 1/2 years.. 1 year in I began having pains in my left hip. I couldn't locate exactly where the pain was as it was internal and moved. I began to get aches and pain and gain weight although I was still doing my usual routine. I thought the aches and pains where due to weight gain. Then I researched a bit.. My goodness I had all the symptoms I was reading about and had spent $1000's of dollars at physiotherapist, podiatrists, nutritionists had numerous X-Ray's and ultrasounds I had even tried reiki acupuncture and lots of alternative therapies. The moment it was removed the pain disapated in my hip and by the end of day 1 after removal 40% of the pain in my whole body was gone. Day 2 I could bend my knee to put socks on"


"I have been on Seroquel for couple years. My psychiatrist prescribed me this medication for GAD. It controls my anxiety well. The most notable side effects is weight gain and feeling relaxed."


"After years of feeling as though I were slowly losing my mind to ruminations, agitation, depression, lack of focus and general brain-cooties, it finally dawned on me that I was bipolar and I sought treatment. You may read the other positive reviews on here and think they could be written by manufacturers, but you may be underestimating the efficacy of this medication, it is truly amazing. I feel like I did when I was a younger man, before mental illness took hold in my life. My mind is unencumbered and clear. I feel normal! I still can get sad, I still get annoyed by things, I still feel enthusiasm, but it's tempered, appropriate emotion. Symbyax is great. Try it. Minimal weight gain, by the way."


"Me & my boyfriend were having sex when all of a sudden his condom broke & the oops happened. I took this pill 67 hours later I thought it was very late to take it. But it wasn't. I had no side effects & also got my period right on time. Thanks Plan B."


"Doxycycline is a very good easy to take once a day medicine that works very well with my bronchiectasis  , no side effects when taken with food  , no ill feeling or dizziness as with other antibiotics  , overall very good drug."


"I had been on Pristiq for about 1 year at 50mg. While on it, the feelings of depression and anxiety pretty much disappeared. However, after changing my lifestyle for the better and going off Pristiq I have been dealing with withdrawal side effects. It has been 4 weeks now and I still have the brain zaps which make me feel unsteady. These zaps have been continuous and extremely upsetting.  Add to this the deep states of sadness (mention the least sad thing and I would start crying) and the nightmares....it has been a very rough 4 weeks. For the last week I have had blood pressure swings from 110/60 to 218/111 and weakness in the large muscles of my legs and arms. For those going on or off, be careful!"


"I just got my results of my first blood test after being on Livalo for two months. My total cholesterol was 189, and my good cholesterol was 60. Very happy with the results as my cholesterol hovered around 240 for the past 20 years. I had tried Crestor and Pravachol with bad muscle aches. My doctor finally talked me in to trying another Statin, since she said Livalo was better tolerated. So far, so good!"


"Does it's job but about 5 days in I'm having extreme heart burn, chest and back pain. It's really painful, worst I've ever had I thought about going to the hospital but I'm drinking some warm tea trying to take deep breaths"


"tried a few other brands first, by had terrible nausea and couldn't hold them down - this is the only one i could tolerate and along with a topical that my doctor prescribed me, my acne really cleared up"


"I had the mirena placed in April of 2015.
I have had long, irregular periods ever since I got it. At first I just dealt with the bleeding because I felt better than being on the pill, but things quickly changed in May of this year. From May 2015 to January of 2017 my periods were: The first was 8 weeks, 2nd was 6 weeks,  periods 3 -7 were 3 weeks long. Then in May of 2017 I started having MONTHLY 3+week periods with a few days of breast tenderness then it starts back up.

I have had two ovarian cysts with it. I have extreme breast tenderness a few days before the start of every period. I have zero sex drive. This does nothing for my skin and I have issues with hidradenitis. I have very low energy levels. I am just ready to have it removed"


"Been taking it for years. Not as effective as at first. I sleep maybe 4 hours, then wake. Take a 350 mg soma about 3am watch 30 min TV, awake at 6am like clock work. No groggy or med hangover though. Better than ambian or lunista. I can take a fist full of those and watch the middle of the night programming. Like others, never had a problem sleeping. I think interferon destroyed that ability, but I'm alive and cured, so I'll take a little insomnia. Hope this helps you!"


"I am a 44 year old married mother of three. My doctor suggested Mirena for heavy bleeding as well as birth control. I told him I would think about it and have spent the last month reading everything I could about the product. It did not look good and I almost decided against it. The reviews I read were very frightening! I scheduled another appointment to discuss my concerns and he assured me that every woman is different and I should give it a try. I had the Mirena placed yesterday afternoon. It was so easy! Immediately after my husband and I went out for dinner with friends. Mild cramps for about 30 mins. It's like it never happened! Looking forward to 5 years of worry free sex and no periods."


"Very strong medicine. Good for long lasting relief."


"I have now been on this med almost a month now I am down to 218 pounds which I have lost a little over 10 pounds since starting and I am feeling great. I do get the tingling in the lips and I already got it in my feet and hands before but it is not biggie. I hardly ever sleep anyway so that doesn't bother me much but it does curb my appetite pretty well and I am loving the progress I am making!"


"Been on vitoza since 2013. I have lost 60 lbs and still losing but slower. My A1C has been 6.9 mostly. I sometimes get nauseated but not often. It has been a miracle for me!"


"For me it was pretty great. I used it for about 10 months, didn't feel it during sex but my partner did. Side effects I did gain about 15 pounds and my hair would fall out not that much but enough to notice it.
Good thing about it though it cleared up my face I didn't have to take it daily."


"I have tried everything out there and for me this is a drug that allows me to finally have a day without pain.  I have had four cervical spine surgeries and two shoulder replacements.

After the surgeries I started having terrible muscle spasms around the neck/shoulder area.  I pretty much gave up and just stayed home.

I feel like a new person."


"I realized I had been with my partner on a very fertile day, about 14 days before my period was due.  I panicked and took Plan B about 20-24 hours later.  I was able to buy it at Rite Aid over the counter, which was a relief!  I took the pill and had no side effects until about the time my period was due, and then I got a migraine aura twice in a day.  Very scary, but I am prone to migraine auras when my hormones change.  I figured my period was very close, but it didn't come.  I had no other symptoms except maybe slight nausea.   Finally, 6 days later I started spotting and having cramps.  Hallelujah!  I've never been happier to get my period.  It was 6 days late. So don't worry - this medication DOES work."


"Very good experience with Zoloft. My Dr prescribed vitamin D for my dead sex drive, but I'm not waiting for that to improve. "


"I started taking this after I got a depo shot, which made me gain like 15lbs and made it hurt to have sex. When I started taking jolessa, I gained weight very quickly, going from 160lbs (I was 145lbs before depo shot) to 200lbs in like 6 months. No matter how healthy I eat, or how much I exercise, the weight won't drop. Even doing p90x I can't get anywhere weight wise. This pill also totally killed my sex drive. I get moody, especially if I forget to take it a day or two, and start taking it again. I'm always tired. I never had any issues with pimples ever in my life, but when I take the white pills for the period or forget to take a few pills, I break out SO bad. I hate this pill."


"The only drug that has worked to help me get my Atrial fibrillation under control."


"I have been on Aubra for one month and I felt that I should give my experience since I was scared to death to take it based on the reviews online.  So here it goes:  I am a 33 year old female who was not taking any form of BCP and I wanted to get on the pill because I had been having really annoying acne lately (not sure why) and also my periods had become heavy and bothersome.  Long story short, I decided to get on the pill and Planned Parenthood prescribed me Aubra.  One month later, my acne is completely cleared up, no new breakouts at all, my entire completion even looks clearer, I have absolutely no side effects WHATSOEVER, and my period is even much lighter than usual!  I don't know if I'm lucky or what but try it out- I am glad I did"


"Day Two of Methylprednisolone 4mg.  Tendonitis in elbow hurts worse than it did before beginning medication, general feeling of lethargy and slight depression but no other apparent side effects."


"I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and suffer from night terrors and have been on prazosin and this does not help with my night terrors."


"I didn't have a good experience with nexplanon. I had an implanon before that and had no problems, but this birth control really did a number on my hormones! It caused major depression, terrible acne, crazy mood swings, and low sex drive. If I experienced any stress at all, I would bleed like having my period. I have discussed several other options multiple times with my doctor and decided to try paragard. The doctor recommended trying a hormone free method, because all of the side effects I've experienced are results of imbalanced hormone levels. I know paragard causes longer and heavier periods with worse cramping, but that actually doesn't sound so bad after my nexplanon experience. I want to go back to having regular periods again."


"I've had crohn's for about 6 years (age 25) and only 1 surgery so far. I started Humira about 7 months ago and was so happy with how well it worked & how affordable! I went from probably my worst flare up ever to feeling 100% every day. However, I have been experiencing the most random side effects from it. I'm seeing multiple different doctors right now for many different things and still don't know if anything is actually wrong, but it sure feels like something isn't right.

Some of the side effects I've experienced: severe skin rash on chest and back, sudden urge to urinate all the time, fatigue, headaches, muscle soreness, arms and legs easily going numb, and sweating A LOT..there's more but I'll spare you."


"Love this medicine!!! I have year round allergies and I am allergic to everything; dust, cats, hamsters, everything outside, etc. I feel like I should live in a bubble. Nothing seemed to work. I've taken OTC drugs and prescribed drugs. All of them stunk. Allergy shots really work, but are too time consuming. Then I found Xyzal. Love it! Fair warning though, this drug does knock you out and the lasting effects carry into the next day, but I discovered that if you take it about an hour to two hours before your bedtime, you will feel fine the next day."


"This drug was a nightmare for me.  I unfortunately had B12 deficiency at the same time so it took a longish time to figure this drug was murdering me in addition to my troubles with B12.  It did keep my BP very low but.... it made my legs feel almost lame and if I tried to walk even remotely fast I'd feel like I was going to pass out.  It also cranked by A1C way up.  The worst 6 months of my life pretty much.  A week after coming off it I felt reborn."


"My skin naturally is not that oily, and I was put on Acanya by my dermatologist. It was not only thick and white, but it dried out my skin very badly. It did somewhat help my acne, but it left my skin with bad marks, and dry to the point where I could not move it without pain. I did not like this medicine. I am off of it now and on a much better one that nourishes my skin as well as treats the acne. Acanya was just not for me."


"Works for me. thank you."


"Have had migraines for about 7 yrs. Seems to have started a while after slipping and falling on my back in the kitchen. Held out arms to break fall and my head tucked slammed back. Headaches so intense you literally will call 911 to get immediate pain relief NOW . Vomiting which intensifies the pressure and blurred vision that is in no way a typical headache. Relpax 40 is the only thing I have ever tried and works. Add a ice pack and a BC powder and it works faster to relieve my pain. Makes me feel much better after a long nap in a dark cold room. Like any other illness it takes a day or so to feel normal again. I have ins. and pay $10 for 10 pills per month with the discount card. Before that I paid $10 per pill. Its truly a miracle med."


"benzonatate medicine is useless for suppressing cough while you sleep.

It makes your cough worse.

I don't understand why most doctors like to prescribe Benzonatate to their patients. It is a killer and wasted .

I agree most people's comment."


"After two days I started to feel better. The pain in my kidney caused by the infection decreased and disappeared after two days. It is very important that you take the pill at the same time each day and I was late a couple hours, a couple times. Overall it worked well for me, with no side effects."


"Helped with spasms, but can't live with this heartburn. I have had heartburn 4 days straight. On this medicine for 10 days, have tried several kinds of antacids and nothing touches this. I have rarely ever had heartburn. I have to stop taking this."


"After a year of cortisone shots doc recommended the euflexxa shots 3 over 3 wks it been 4 weeks since the shots and I'm still waiting for some relief. My doc told me it could take 2 to 3 weeks to see the difference. Now I been reading some people said they felt better after 6 wks so will wait and see
I have a small tear in my mcl I might have to have fix maybe to feel the difference.I would appreciate any feedback."


"Love Mirena. I had it put in almost 4 years ago after my daughter was born and I have had no side effects or issues with it. I do still get my period monthly but it is super lite. We are planning on having another baby and so I am taking it out in a few months and then I will use Mirena again after that baby. Maybe I'll write again after that experience."


"I have lost 66 pounds since last July.Since Jenny Craig,Adkins,Lipozene and everything else is a yo yo trap. I am happy to be where  I am now based on past failures. Do not lose hope this will change your life for the better. Headache yes, great sleep yes. No lap band, no awful gastric bypass for me."


"I've been using Epiduo Gel for 4 weeks now and I'm starting to see good results this forth week. First week, I had itchy skin and my face felt dry and red. Second week I started peeling, with no real noticable changes. Third week I started to notice my acne shrinking and became less red. Even my family and work friends mentioned how much better my face was looking. Now being in the forth week, I only have a few acne spots and my face is less red. Will be continuing on with it due to seeing good results. I reccomend this acje product if you are serious about getting rid of those annoying spots! It does take a lot of patience. But I promise, it is worth it! Stick with it."


"I'm 28 and was just diagnosed with Schizophrenia about a month ago. I was given Saphris, this is my first antipsychotic medication and it makes me immensely drowsy after 10 minutes. It slowed down the racing thoughts and negative ideas in my head in order to set aside my wants and needs and socially accept what is happening around me and what I need to do. Only down side so far is the intense drowsiness and that gnawing restless sleep feeling when I tried to go to sleep before my regular sleeping schedule. I can't remember falling asleep at all due to the tossing and turning. I do recommend taking it when you're 100% positive your going to sleep and not a moment sooner. Woke up calm and well rested. DAY 1."


"I was diagnosed with early emphysema on 11th October 2017 (5 weeks ago).  I have never used a bronchodilator previously and I find this product easy to use.  I no longer wheeze when lying down and believe my breathing is easier than before."


"I've been on this medicine for about a month.  I am currently on 1 mg 3x daily.   There is no kick to it, in that it's so smooth I'm not sure it's working.  I have less outbursts so I think it helps with that."


"I respond great to contrave.  I've been on it 3 weeks and I've lost 10 pounds.  I have reduced the number of calories I eat down to 2000 but sometimes I eat less and sometimes I eat more.  I am 5'9 382 pounds.  I have stopped drinking soda as well so I'm sure that helps.  I was on this medication before and lost 50 pounds but had to quit due to the cost and gained all the weight back.  Hopefully this time I will lose the weight and keep it off."


"Genuinely hate this medicine! The side effects of dry mouth and a terrible taste (even though pills are coated) make it impossible not to drink extra water.  Drinking extra water caused me to wake to pee in the middle of the night every night. One night I was so groggy & out of it - feeling really drugged - I fell and hit my head, shoulder & elbow. In the week I took Lunesta, I never got more than 4-5 hours sleep & each night to use the bathroom.  My sleep tracker showed little REM. Dry mouth was constant day & night. I never woke refreshed once & always felt like I had a residual “hangover” of a drugged feeling in the AM. I took Lunesta because Ambien seemed to stop working for me. I took it years ago & couldn’t remember why I disliked it."
