"I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid because I was our typical class clown that didn't do anything in class. My parents took me to the doctor and I was prescribed Adderall and it did what is was suppose to but I absolutely hated because instead of playing at recess I would just read a book, so I quit taking it. Fast forward to freshmen year in college I was completely overwhelmed with school so I went back got tested and they put me on Vyvanse, it did the job but I was so mad when I was on it, they switched be to Adderall. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, make you productive. I went from a 3.0 to a 3.8 from this medicine. But make sure you eat, if you are on it your body will not tell you you're hungry."


"I am taking Diamox this is the 3rd time I have been prescribed this. It definitely works but side effects this time worst of all. Am dizzy and fell, pins and needles hands, feet and face. Headache don't know if medication or from fall. Nausea."


"Pricey but works well. Usually takes about 45 minutes to take effect."


"I am into week 3 now, haven't had a smoke in a week. When I was smoking, i became very ill. I still get very sick to my stomach, dizzy, constipated, gas, metallic taste in my mouth, everything           smells bad, and my skin is super sensitive. I don't think I would have been able to quit without it, but I don't think I need it anymore."


"I have unexplained nerve pain for about two years..after trying so many pills I was at the end of my hope. All the pills either made me feel like a zombie or I gained weight.
I tried 10 mg of Nortriptyline and it has given me back my life! I have been on them for around 3 months now and hardly any pain."


"Lacrisert has saved my sanity!!! I can't live without this for my dry eyes. It's the first product that makes my eyes feel normal. I would rank it a 10, but I am discounting it by one due to the fact that they start to get gooey after having them in 10-12 hours (depending on humidity) & they don't last as long as my day does."


"I originally started taking Yaz for birth control, but instantly noticed that my face cleared up.  Yaz works wonders for acne, and I highly recommend it.  However, it made my emotions go crazy.  I became very anxious.  I was on it for a year and then decided to get off of it.  My anxiety decreased but acne slowly came back.  Now I am going to try it again for acne and hope that I can cope with the anxiety from it.  I'm out of school now so I'm hoping this makes it easier to cope with the side effects.  Also, I did not gain any weight, and my boobs grew a full size.  It's a myth that birth control causes weight gain, it only causes increase in appetite or causes you to crave a certain food (i.e. sugar) which in turn causes you to gain weight"


"I've had Nexplanon for two years this month. As soon as I had it inserted, I haven't had a period for two years. No spotting either. No acne and no weight gain. (Of course I'm a p90x student also). But yesterday my first period in two years started. I sure hope it doesn't last long because this will be the first one I've had. And my cramps are awful this time. And of course no period for two years I had to run out and buy tampons right away. But I do recommend it."


"I started taking Qsymia in July 2013. I was 294 lbs. I have lost over 100 lbs with the help of Qsymia and am loving life. This is the only thing that has worked for me and I've tried everything from Weight Watchers to Adipex and back around.

I love Qsymia. It is a life saver."


"It stings/burns BAD for a few minutes after putting on. Brings tears to my eyes, even places that doesn't have broken skin.  Think of a dead sea salt bathe and you know what I am writing about. However, I have only had it for a few hours, my doctor gave me a full size trial and it seems to REALLY REALLY help with the itch.  I had zyrtec and allegra on board and it wasn't touching it.
I am waiting fingers crossed hoping my insurance will cover it, since it is so new, it will be non-formulary so out of pocket costs will be high.  If it gives me relief it will be worth it.

Woman in 40s with lifelong Eczema non diet induced."


"Started taking nortriptyline in 2004 for neuropathic pain, primarily in my legs.  Tried Cymbalta when it came out in 2006 since it stated helpful with neuropathic pain.  It didn't work; the hives, itching, tingling, and burning all returned.  Back on the nortriptyline; my doctor allows me to vary my dosage from 50-80 mg depending on how my neuropathy is doing.  Very noticable difference when I lower it; thinking I could get by with less because feeling better.  80mg seems to work very well for me."


"2 weeks is working very good for me no complaints.
Medication has changed my life "FINALLY SOMETHING THAT'S WORKING""


"In my opinion this medicine is great. It feels good to be able to go outdoors with confidence. No more anxiety dizziness, I can say hello to a nice girl at a coffee shop  or even read a book without thinking everyone is looking and laughing at me. This medicine worked for me. I now go to the gym and have friends, and have a lively weekly routine. I slowly want to see if I can handle life without them but I always keep them around just in case I have an attack. Good luck guys."


"I took this for prostatitis last year and I'm on it for the same thing again this year. Last time i was on it, it helped the infection but the infection did not completely go away, and I had to go on a different antibiotic. I have had a tough time getting a good night of sleep since I started taking it. I wake up many times a night and lay awake in bed quite often. It's annoying but I've had worse drug interactions. It's extremely cheap which is a positive."


"I start May 11 no side effect!!! Going great!"


"Worth every penny. Cough was gone all day."


"The insertion was a breeze but the two weeks following it I was depressed and had a ongoing headache. I was on my period forever and it seemed like having sex caused me to have my period. I talked to my doctor about my continuous period and she prescribed me medroxyprogesterone. Its a pill that you take for 21days to stop the bleeding, it worked until a few days after I stopped the medication and my period came back. I'm on my third bottle now. My only issue are the periods but I doubt I'll take it out of my arm. I don't know if weight has anything to do it, I'm 5'6 and 118 pounds.. everyone's body is different. I didn't get acne or weight loss/gain."


"I used to have really heavy periods and Sprintec has really lightened my period. It has also taken away the cramps, bloating and diarrhea that my period used to cause. My back pain has gotten worse though and I have started to get cravings. All in all it is great at lightening my flow and making it to where I don't have any "surprises." It's the first pill I've tried and I don't plan on switching."

"I have struggled with nail for 8 or ten years. All but two toenails were dark. The big toes were thick and tender. I had tried all the home remedies and four bottles of Formula 3 bought from my podiatrist. The Formula 3 was the only thing that gave minimal results. My dermatologist prescribed Kerydin which is working great for me. I was applying twice a day for the first two months. This caused redness and peeling so I cut back to once a day. After four months of use, I can wear sandals again. My left pinky toenail is still thick but will probably heal in time. I'm sorry it isn't working for everyone but keep trying different things. You never know what might work for you. I'm blessed that my insurance covers this or I couldn't afford it."


"I love Advair. It stopped my chronic wheezing and has given me back my energy."


"I was a 2 pack a day smoker for 40 years - hopelessly addicted - UNTIL CHANTIX. Incredible - I had none of the listed side effects and only went through 4 weeks of treatment. I started Chantix 1 week before quitting and NEVER had another cigarette after I quit the first day. This is a miracle drug and should be offered for free to anyone trying to quit."


"Yes - dalmane is very effective at putting and keeping you asleep.  I was prescribed it for four years before the dangers were known. By blocking neuron transmissions, mine were not communicating next day. I had a career that required thought, concentration and problem solving. I no longer could do any of that.  My professional, domestic social and economic life fell apart insidiously over that time. I became agoraphobic and withdrawn, dependent on others who told me what to do.  Recovery of my own mind took well over five years, many of them in a spin. I had been made very very ill indeed"


"Was diagnosed with cluster headaches approximately 6 years ago in Canada. Took prednisone to end a couple of cycles, but decided to try verapamil. It works, but I must stress that you must stop drinking any alcohol whatsoever - NONE, don't even smell the bottle (no kidding!) Also, for me, other sure triggers include dark chocolate, white chocolate, but small quantities of milk chocolate are OK. Also, stay away from MSG (monosodium glutamate). Verapamil WILL work, but you have to stay away from triggers to give it a chance! It might take a week or two. I also had to spread it out to 3 times in a day, rather than all in one dose for it to block all headaches at first. Now I'm on 2x120mg and headache-free!"


"The best anti depressant I have tried. Have also used citalopram, fluoxetine and mirtazapine but this is the best! Least side affects, feeling happy and normal again and still have energy! Love it."


"Made me too tired to function."


"So happy this last for 10 years! 25 years old(I had it inserted a year ago)Now I gave it 9/10 due to the heavy bleeding for the first 3-4 months, Once you get over that hill Its amazing. No hormones which was VERY important for me personally. So if your looking for a very effective birth control, look no further! Just expect heavy bleeding for at least a few months, It gets better you just have to let your body adjust to the new device."


"I have taken both the 75 mg and the 100 mg Viberzi,  When I started on this medication, 75 mg it worked somewhat.  My diarrhea was slowed and the stool more solid.  However, after being on it for a month or a little longer the benefits decreased.  I went from having 3 to 4 bowel movements a day, to having 6 or more.  Usual pattern was first movement was the most solid, the next ones were more loose and runny.  My doctor increased the strength of Viberzi to the 100mg.  Same basic issues...worked good at first but after using for a while, I was back to having 6 or more movements with the first one the most solid.  I am again trying the lower dose as the cost of the 100mg was way too expensive, even with Medicare and my supplement drug plan."


"After trying almost everything to treat my sudden/severe cystic acne (diet changes, topical and internal antibiotics, regular aesthetician visits, other birth controls) this is the ONLY thing that has worked. My acne was isolated to where a man would grow a beard which indicated I had higher than normal testosterone levels. No initial breakout either! Within the first month, I noticed less breaking out. I broke out during my first period, but I'm in month two and my skin is almost totally clear of active breakouts and no cysts! Seriously a miracle, this medication saved my sanity, social life and self esteem. It costs me $85/month with no insurance but worth it. Still experiencing spotting but it should dissipate after a few more pill packs."


"I LOVE temazepam!  It is the only thing that works consistently for me. I only take it 1-3 times a week, but it is a God send for those nights where I know I won't be able to fall asleep.  I'm usually asleep within 20 minutes of taking it and usually sleep straight through until the morning.  I also have very little problem with feeling groggy the next day.  Usually I am relaxed enough that I want to keep sleeping past my alarm if I could, but since sleep is difficult for me, it's better to have more than less!  I don't really have any negatives."


"In my experience the first time I tried Damiana about an hour and half later it was already working  for me. There are others I know that have said it did work but that it took a couple of times taking it to get used to how it works. But  years have gone by now and I still am using this incredible herb, Especially when the prescription medications for Erectile Dysfunction cost hundreds of dollars for a handful of pills, you really can't beat it. And also it works great for stomach issues, anxiety, and if you get daily headaches it has also worked great for those as well. But Damiana just works great and you don't have to worry about having a pill on you at the right time either if you just take it daily."


"I've been on every antidepressant out there. I finally found what works! It is also very mild, which is a wonderful change from all of the other heavier medications I have been on. I too experienced much needed weight gain."


"This medication has saved my emotional distress caused by hyperhidrosis.  I wish I had discovered this before doing the thoracic sympanthectomy (SP).  That surgery was horrible, but the Botox takes away the sweating for up to 6 months.  If you have had the surgery, be prepared that from the damage the surgery does, Botox results can last for up to 3 months, but for me never longer.  Insurance can cover it though, and I have had it approved through BCBS."


"When I went to the doctor and told him Linzess 290 mg wasn't working for me ( I was lucky to go once a week).,He said I want to try you on Amitiza. He said this should help. Well I have been on it for 3 days and nothing!! I got a headache & chest pain the first day and only headaches on the second and third day. I can't understand why the doctors can't find out the underlying problem. I have tried everything!! I use to take Zelnorm but, they took that off the market. I don't care for this drug! My stomach makes noises and that's it!! I am still miserable!!"


"41 year old male. Started at 240 on 6/14/2014. Now 190 on 1/16/2015. Blood Pressure down to normal. This is the first medicine that has kept me to my diet! Tried every supplement on the market. This is the only one that actually curbed my appetite. No more late night eating. That was my biggest problem. Exercise a must."


"This medication was not for me.  Over the year that I was on it I gained 20 lbs and kept having to up the dosage.  The side effects were horrible.  If I was late taking a pill I would get a really funny feeling in my body."


"I have been taking Brintellix for about 2 months, after my Lexapro stopped working.  The first day after taking Brintellix, I was nauseous.  I stayed nauseous for 2 weeks.  Now that the nausea has worn off....I LOVE this medication!  I feel less calm, more happy and things don't get on my nerves as badly.  Just try to tough out the nausea for 2-3 weeks.  It gets better.  After that, you'll love it.  I highly recommend Brintellix!!"


"I love this! This is my first form of birth control and I have only been on it for about two and a half weeks, but I have to say that, so far, its great. I usuallly get terrible cramps, pains, nausea, etc. on my period; when I started using this on the first day of my period this month, it all went away. This was my first time NOT throwing up during my period, and I stopped getting those terrible cramps. Even my bloating went away. Plus, for some reason, since I started using this b.c., my occasional pimples have disappeared and stopped showing up. It's all really great and I feel so much better after taking this!! The only problem (though it's really not a big deal) is that I may have put on a pound since I started using it."


"After years struggling with acute Eczema, I was prescribed UVB 3 times a week. It worked for a while, then the effectiveness wore off slowly. Years later, after trying several medicines/creams I was prescribed Neoral 300mg/day. Within days I saw a remarkable recovery, within weeks I was mostly cured. The side effects I suffer from are minute compared to the suffering I have endured previously with Eczema. Most days my hands/feet are burning, so hot they feel cold, extreme temperatures, hot/cold seem to make it worse, when I wash my hands, I can't tell whether the water is ice cold or burning hot. Colds, flu, chest, ear and throat infections make up most of my winters but I still would prefer to take Neoral, than have debilating eczema."


"felt the pain of cold sore got up put abreva hours later severe pain more abreva...three hours later lips white with abreva and the damn sores multiplied and went to top lip!!!!
this used to work but lately Not!"


"I had surgery 6 days ago and was given percadet then I took motrin and tylenol for the pain which caused constipation. I had no bowel movements  for 5 days I tried prune juice, lots of water, walking and Zantac 150mg and on the 6th day my doctor recommended the magnesium citrate. I tried the cherry flavor did half at 1pm and very little happened then at 7pm drank the remaining bottle which to me wasn't that bad just sour. At 2am I was in the bathroom passing diarrhea in parts. My stomach has not stopped rumbling the entire time (it's extremely noisy). This is really uncomfortable and I took the day off for this. I recommend this product if you have constipation. I am thankful that it is finally coming down."


"I am currently on my second month of using Sprintec. I was excited to be paying significantly less but I have been experiencing about 1 yeast infection each month. It's costing me more in doctor visits. I am waiting until 4 months so my body can get used to it to see if these infections clear. The cramping was horrible last month but it was the first month since I switched from Zovia."


"I visited a rheumatologist the first time about 3 or 4 months ago because my osteoarthritis appeared to have worsened over many months.  I had gone to my family doctor but he couldn't understand the reason for my pain becoming so severe with my osteoarthritis.  I was frustrated as a nurse because I walk a lot at the hospital.  The pain was more than I could stand, starting at my lower back, down my right hip, and on down to my right leg above my knee.  I
cried numerous times with this discomfort.  I could tolerate the pain with my swollen knuckles, loss of cartilage in the knees or any other pain, but NOT the back pain. I have been taking Savella & the back pain is significantly reduced! I do have heavy sweats and  I remember my dreams."


"Diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 10 days ago.  Started 800MG 2 tablets, 3 times/day plus suppository at night.  Diarrhea quickly went down to once a day instead of eight times.  Experiencing fatigue, slight nausea and seem to be developing acne."


"Have you ever been laying in bed with a post nasal cough, and cannot get to sleep??  Spray Chloraseptic spray at the back of your throat and numb it up...then you are able to get to sleep!"


"I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome two years ago in August 2008. It's been a long, lousy 2 years.  I've been on many different medicines and none of them worked.  Finally nortriptyline (25mg) once a day before bed has FINALLY given me relief.  It's only been one week since I started this drug but it's been a week where I can actually leave the house and not worry about my IBS (diarrhea) issues.  I'm a 37 year old male.  Lomotil and Imodium have only worked partially for me.  Nortriptyline worked right away (the next day I was issue free - and I'm not exaggerating)  I wish my doctor had me try this medicine earlier, although I do understand him wanting me to try other medicines first.  HOWEVER, I still take a half Imodium every other day with this medicine."


"44 year old male 5mg/daily helped some in achieving and maintaining an erection ... however, the few times I doubled up and took 10mg actually did the trick for me, although it was still nothing like being 19 again.. maybe more like being 35 again.

Pleasant, few side effects."


"Zanaflex has really helped me. I had major hip surgery last year and have had a very difficult time bouncing back.

After the surgery I became very weak, lost significant amounts of muscle definition and tone, which resulted in a weakened lower back and core. I now live in excruciating pain, my L5 & S1 has completely compressed with my sciatic nerve in the middle. I have extreme nerve pain, and hypersensitivity down my right leg. Daily chores are very difficult, and my love for fitness now feels like a daunting chore.

My doctor switched me from Soma to Zanaflex. At first I didn't like it because it made me extremely drowsy and would knock me out. Now I am used to the side effects and can honestly say that this medication is the best muscle relaxer I have ever taken.

It reduces back pain, loosens up the tightness, and compliments my oxycodone very nicely. I can finally "function" again, and exercise, lift weights, and do my daily duties as a house wife & mother."


"I have been having migraines at least twice a week for over 25 years now.  I have been taking Klonopin for the last four months.  Although I still get them as often, the length and severity have decreased dramatically.  Some are still so severe that I have to stay in bed with no lights and no sound.  But I have had 50 to 60% improvement since taking Klonopin. I am able to function normally for the most part and no longer spend half of the week in bed. To date this has been the best and most effective treatment I have had.  I would certainly recommend it to anyone suffering frequent, severe migraines."


"Tried it for cost reasons. Blurred vision, 24 hour headache, 4 hours of diarrhea every afternoon. Might work for some. I'm going back on Diovan."


"Today was my 6th day taking Complera. I've been taking it between 7:30 and 8:30 every morning. I don't notice any side effects at all. The only thing I hate is that I have a cough. It doesn't matter if I drink it with juice and chocolate chip cookies or not--I will still taste it. From reading all the previous reviews, I can't wait to get my labs done in January. Today I felt a little sharp pain in my left arm. I'm not sure if it was from the medicine or from being crunched in a chair on my laptop. I'm definitely going to get that bone test done since I heard it can thin your bones."


"It dries up acne faster than any medication I have used before but you have to use cream to moisturize your skin cause it's start to peel where the acne is ! Quick and effective"


"Some personal background: I'm 22, no kids, 115lbs, I work out 3x a week & eat moderately healthy, & my period has always been irregular. After 3 months of rarely using condoms & mainly relying on my bf's "pull out game," I got tired of being paranoid every month of the possibility of being pregnant, so I decided to go on the pill. First month, it was great! No side effect. I loved it. 2nd month, bloated + boobs swelled/tender + constipation. 3rd, all same side effects from 2nd month + mental & emotional instability + gained 15lbs. Although I never got pregnant & it regulated my period with perfect timing, I couldn't take it anymore! So I quit it after the end of my 3rd pack, & my body + mental health immediately went back to normal."


"I apsolutly love this medication it has helped me tremendously. I suffer from multiple health problems such as planters fasciitis, back problems and arthritis so it's really difficult for me to get to the gym as I should. I started taking qsymia back in 2014 and took them for about 3 months and lost about 20lbs sometimes I watched what I ate sometimes I didn't  I never went on a strict diet because I suffer from hypoglycemia so I needed somewhat of sugar. I felt good about my weight got off also because my insurance don't cover the cost. I got back on them about 3 days ago because over the holidays I put some weight on with all the cooking not as much as before but I want to stay healthy.lol Most importantly I never got any side affects."


"I have recently started having back pain and my doctor started me on Soma. I have been pain free ever since. It really does take the pain away, and fast. Just do not drive on it. It relaxes your muscles and you can easily lose focus."


"I have been taking Zomjg for Migraine for the past 10 years, I used to suffer for 2 to 3 days with migraine. I was prescribed a lot of different medications, with no success. The first time I took Zomig, it took my migraine away within 30 to 45 minutes. It has just about always taken all my headaches away from then on. Usually one 2.5 dose tablet takes it away. On occasion, I have to take a second dose. It has improved my quality of life greatly. I rarely have side effects also."


"I've been on Effexor for 7 years now...after a crazy up-bringing coupled with drug and alcohol abuse as a teenager I spiraled into a deep depression after my wife died 13 yrs ago. I still have bouts of anxiety but they are short lived. I try to avoid people that trigger situations where I might start to feel like an anxiety attack is coming. I had a huge weight gain and struggle with that, I've lost 80 lbs so far due to a gastric bypass,and am on only 25 mgs down from 150 when I started."


"I've been taking Latuda since about November. I also take Klonopin to help me sleep which it doesn't seem to be doing anymore. I take my Latuda in the evening. I've also noticed a huge drop in my sexual appetite and it definietly has suppressed my appetite. I don't eat much don't really have much of an appetite at all. I've started waking with a lot of muscle pain over the past week or so I see my Dr. again on the 16th and am going to ask him if this is usual which it seems to be from other people. I honestly like this medication more than most others I've been on and it's nice to lose the weight my old medications made me gain. I have a hard time waking up and usually sleep till about noon."


"So far this drug has saved my life. After experiencing a traumatic experience I spiralled into a heavy depression coupled with anxiety. It's only been one week and I'm no longer crying daily and the hopeless feeling is subsiding. It's also helped stopped the obsessive thoughts I've been having about the traumatic event."


"Works pretty darn good. You have to apply it diligently though- every 2 hours. Do not apply gobs of it but a thin layer with a Q-tip. Throw away the Q-tip so you don't cross contaminate!! Use Abreva right when you notice your lip tingle or itch. I also ice my lip for as long as I can stand to prevent the virus from replicating. It loves a warm environment. Ice kills it. I recommend icing, then applying a fresh layer of Abreva and taking Valtrex or acyclovir (1G). It should prevent your sore from growing and possibly eliminate it entirely if you catch it quickly enough."


"This product is a miracle for me! I have had acne since I was 13. I have tried everything no thing worked. My story is I stumbled upon on fabior by participating in a clinical trial. I didn't care  about the money I just wanted to try anything to help my acne. The first month of using fabior it made my acne worse! It made me look like I got hit with the ugly stick. I had pimples everywhere and I was peeling a lot. I cried and my boyfriend convinced me to keep using it. He said that's your problem you always give up on a product if you don't see immediate results. I thank goodness I listened to him because the following week. My skin started to look beautiful. I never get pimples anymore  and all my dark spots I use to cover with makeup are gone."


"Just wanted to chime in a positive review for Mirena. I had the Mirena inserted in July of 2014. I did not think it was painful at all - just like an intense cramp for about 10 seconds, but I think everyone has a different body and a different pain tolerance. My gyno warned me that side effects take 3-6 months to go away. I randomly spotted for the first 2 months or so - not terrible, just annoying. The one side effect that I didn't like was that when my period would normally be happening, I wouldn't bleed, but I would get really light-headed/zoned out for a few days. I was a little worried by the second month that had happened (September 2014), but it never happened again. Mirena has been FANTASTIC since. No period/spotting, not pregnant."


"Many years of pain - After exploratory surgery and a part of one ovary taken than laparoscopic 3 times to get rid of the endo, I thought this was going to be my saving grace !
It has ruined my life and I'm talking well over 20 years Ago.
If I remember correctly it was a new drug they we're trying at the time.
Yes it stopped my period and pain but literally jumped from 110 to 140 in one month , had a complete breakdown first time ever in my life breaking a glass table . Depression and anxiety and Anger became my life . I reported all symptoms even the little ones , such as sweating and not sleeping , hot flashes etc . So not worth the lasting side effects depression never went away !
Don't use this drug / it took my happiness in life -"


"I have used Depo for years for Birth Control and to help with other uterine issues (heavy bleeding, etc).  I have never had side effects and it's wonderful..no periods! Talk about convenient. I'll never switch."


"I had a foot fracture 10 months ago and had my screw removed three months ago. I cannot take oral NSAIDS because of a stomach problem. I was taking lortab every day, one or two, in the later part of the day to make it through. I used one inch of Votaren Gel where I have the residual arthritis and covered it and taped it. After two hours I went for a walk and was able to walk farther in the same amount of time and without as bad of a limp. This morning my foot was tender. I don't think I will use it when my foot is really sore. I have learned to back off or pay for it the next day. There is always a trade off when I try to medicate this kind of pain."


"In my experience Aciphex proved far superior to the generic brand I was given. I don't know the technical difference, but  Aciphex (taken once in AM & once in PM) alleviated the painful burnings in my stomach and up to my throat within a few days. The generic form seemed not to work as well or quickly and I suspected as a possible cause of simultaneous depression (which may or may not have been related...)"


"Have been given Prednisone for severe back pain but was recently give 20mg dose for my COPD. I'm like a new man since taking it. The Dr. wanted me to stop taking it after a few months but there were side effects. I'm 68 years old and except for the COPD not in bad shape. I really don't understand why people my age who can have a much higher quality of life with a fairly mild medication as this are constantly being asked to stop taking it. I thought physicians took an oath to do no harm. This medication helps me breathe and I've grown very fond of it.... Breathing that is..."


"I've been taking Giavni instead of Yaz for three weeks now.  These brands have the same active ingredients.  The difference is the stabilizers or the process used to bind the two chemicals together.  The binder Bayer uses in YAZ is structurally different from the binder Teva uses.  I  wonder if it also changes the pace or manner that the active ingredients are released in the body.  Just a theory.  I have not had problems with generics in the past.  The way I feel right now reminds me of how I felt three years ago before I began taking Yaz.  I called my doctor for a new script.  I'm hypersensitive to medications in general so who knows what the culprit is.  A doctor or pharmacist should know whether your concerns are common or not."


"I have had tremendous problems with public speaking/presentations. I would almost pray that I would slip and break my leg prior to the presentation, so that I would be deliberated from the pressure. I get full blown panic attacks when speaking in front of a crowd. This is a nightmare considering the circumstances; 30 people sitting dead quiet in a room just staring at you while you are turning into a complete mess. For the first time in my life, at the age of 33, I tried Inderal 20 mg 1 hour prior to an academic presentation. I kid you not, it felt as if I was in my living room chatting with my parents. No anxiety. This tremendous problem vanished thanks to 2 pills. No side effects. Mind blowing."


"Good pill, does what it's supposed to- protects from pregnancy. Clears acne. Regulates periods. BUT mood swings were definitely noticed, and a small weight gain (10lbs or less). I had always weighed around 130 and have been 140 with the pill, and extremely moody- extremely happy or extremely sad- no medium. Every person will have different reactions obviously, just sharing my own experiences."


"OMG, this medicine needs to be removed from usage. I was given this medicine to try for my Type 2 Diabetes. On 1st injection,  I thought I was going to die. The side effects were absolutely horrible. The nausea, vomiting, diarrhea were all there. I stopped usage, and was admitted to the hospital for stent placement. Again, I was given Trulicity. Yet again, I have the side effects.  I won't be using it again. My other medications will have to suffice along with diet."


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


"I took this drug and it cleared up my problem in just 3 days."


"I have been on this drug for 16 years and it has been a life saver. The side effects were pretty intense at the start ..mainly constipation,dry mouth and gained 15 pounds. I persevered with the side effects for about 3 months because I just felt so damn normal. The side effects went away and weight returned to normal. I believe the only long term side effect is excessive sweating. Oh well I can live with that! I tried about 9 different meds for anxiety and depression and none of them gave me any side effects at all. 1 week on clomipramine and I was constipated big time and had major dry mouth but had joy back in my life!! Can't live without it!!  Cost has gone up in Canada because I believe there are no longer any generic  manufacturers.."


"10 times better than suboxone!"


"I first was given Zanaflex about 14 years ago. I had had lower back surgery and some time later started taking it for muscle spasms, with me not playing with muscle relaxers, afraid of damaging my heart, because your heart is a muscle..therefore, I'm real careful with taking relaxants. I love it, it helps alot..and since I'm much older, I'm even more careful. But recently I was in a car accident and hurt my neck and my left shoulder, I was given robaxin which is a skeletal relaxer/ muscle relaxer..it really helps with this new pain. But, I'm not taking the zanaflex and the robin for now. I give zanaflex a ten. It works Great! Hope I was able to help someone."


"I'm currently taking Camrese. I had no complaints my periods are shorter and bearable and my face is clear. I thought I was perfectly content until I realized a few things. I have night sweats, my boobs hurt,  I've gained like 20 pounds and I think  I am depressed"


"For years I took seroquel in various doses throughout the given day. I was prescribed Seroquel XR about 3 years ago for Anxiety and Bipolar l. Since then it has been very effective.  I did not gain weight at all. The only drawback is it does cause dizziness and sleepiness.  Therefore,  I sometimes opt to take it later than prescribed 7:30pm instead of 6."

"I really wish I had this in high school. It really does help you focus on the task at hand."


"This pill works great, I've been taking it for months however I am now starting to feel really intense cramping and bleeding. It's been four days now, and every time I wake up it's so painful. All in all I think it's great, just make sure you don't ever miss a pill you have to get into the habit of taking them and remembering to bring them with you when you go places overnight, you should pick up on the routine quickly though."


"I'm 16 and I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo because I suffer from hormonal severe acne. I've had horrible acne since 7th grade. On the issue of acne, while I was on the pill, after 3 months my skin was clear. In the last remaining week, I got sick everyday. Then I was finished with my pill because it cured my acne. Suddenly a couple months later, my acne returned again. I just started taking my pill again. I am feeling the nausea and headaches. I take the pill at night, so I don't feel it when I go to bed. Unfortunately the following morning I feel intense nausea. If you are looking to treat acne this is the pill. Just the side effects can be a pain."


"I have been using Nexplanon for 12 years with no breaks and I'm about to receive my 5th implant. As you can probably tell from my continued commitment, I find that the pro's of the implant strongly out weigh the con's. Firstly, there are side effects (like most medication). I did receive a little weight gain, I can be a little moody sometimes and my boobs and tummy get very tender once a month, but although I have the hormonal effect of a monthly period I very rarely (once every 3 months) receive very light bleeding/spotting. What's is most important to me is that I haven't never had a child or been pregnant, which is the purpose of the contraception.
Everyone will react differently. You know what is best for your body."


"I was in the middle of passing a kidney stone. I was admitted to the ER with severe pain in right side, tremors, cold sweats, nausea, vomiting, feeling of full bladder and need to urinate but inability to urinate.
I was given IV toradol and the pain subsided within a minute. I was even able to get some shut eye on and off for maybe an hour. Of the IV drugs I have received, this one had me the most clear headed, functional, aware.
It staved off the pain for about 3-4 hours, after which I asked for another injection before being released from the ER, as the pain was returning with the nausea.

NOTE: I have been having severe (2 or 3 at rest, 7-9 in wrong position) right leg pain for a few months. Toradol ineffective. Nerve pain?"


"I was prescribed Tramadol when diagnosed with a herniated disc at the start of this year. I have found Tramadol to be an effective painkiller, but at a price. Following my operation I suffered very bad withdrawal, the hot sweats for the first couple of weeks were quite frankly awful. I was taking 100mg 3 times a day. Unfortunately, post op I am still suffering pain, and occasionally take 1 x 50mg once or twice a day. Again I suffer awful sickness, dizziness and headaches. At night I suffer from nightmares, and generally do not feel myself. For those prescribed tramadol please be cautious as whilst it is a good painkiller, the side effects are very unpleasant."


"Went to the dr...realized I had bv...asked dr for creme flagyl but I was prescribed the pills instead. I eat ice usually everyday and drink only water... since the pills, I have had this metal taste and water especially doesn't taste right.. tastes like lead or something....food everything... how long does it take for this taste go away"


"I used Epiduo for three days and saw major results so I continued. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and I have no problems and no side effects. I wash my face with sulfacleanse and then use the Epiduo at night. Its amazing what its done for me."


"I Have fibromyalgia and severe pain this works for a while but the pain does come back but for those hard core flare ups it sure took the edge off the pain and made me functional again also had herniated disc in my back a few years ago and it took that pain away almost instantly  I say yes to toradol"


"started this medication about two months ago - hard to get BC to pay for it, but after I did - it was a life saver. after suffering from IBS-D for years and having a particularly rough flare up over 6 months, after one week I was NORMAL. I feel so much better now. I know it might not work for everyone but it did for me. I don't have a gallbladder and only take one per day."


"Cannot stress how grateful I am. A miracle cure for for my acne. Thank you for finally giving me clear skin"


"I had unprotected sex and took Plan B less than 24 hours after. A week later, I began to bleed for three days and by the fourth it was a brownish color. Im not sure if this was caused by the plan B or it's my period because I got my last period July 9th. I recently got very sick, sore throat, cough, back pains, tender breasts. I also threw up this morning. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and will see if this was caused from the plan B."


"I can not take pills so I decided to try the Nuva ring . I started to use it and a few hours after having it in I got sick ... Overly sick ... I have been up all night puking and I still am puking . Maybe it's just me but I don't like it so far ..."


"I've been using this product for about 2 weeks and I have seen a LITTLE difference. But it does take time, and my doctor said it would get better before it gets worse. I'm still holding out hope! My acne is pretty bad on my face. On my sides, my forehead, and my jawline. It is really bad. But I have faith in this product. Because my acne will not go away for anything! It is extremly stubborn. I'm 18 so that may be part of the problem. I got this free with my isurance otherwise it would have be $380!! So, it better work. Only problem is it drys out my skin so I'd recommend lotion!"


"I was prescribed this drug due to chronic constipation due to hyperparathyroid.

It helps most days, but only if I take Senokot the evening before.

On its own, it didn't work well.  I  cramp badly all day until I get relief."


"I never seen a medicine work so fast and been so efficient with cold sores."


"My husband just tried this last night. WOW, this is AMAZING and lasts."


"Within 10 minutes of placing the wafer under my tongue experienced the unpleasant tongue numbness and associated mouth sensations. Immediately my mood elevated. I discussed with this negative response with my psychiatrist immediately. Dose was maintained. Symptoms escalated significantly. Although my reporting to my psychiatrist I continued on the medication. I reviewed the literature and to my surprise Saphris had only limited studies with very minimal participants. Not significant research. My mood escalated to mania. Upon placing the wafer under my tongue it triggered mania as if a switch was turned on. "


"The doctor told me it would help within 48 hours and it did.

Thank God for cranberry juice which helped me pass the kidney stone that probably led to the urinary tract infection in the first place.  I drank the juice and 5 minutes later out came the stone, without any discomfort!  Saved me 48 hours of anguish!"


"I love adderall, it's the best. It gives great energy, and doesn't let you get tired. Also, you don't feel the urge to eat everything when you are sad. "


"I take Valtrex everyday no sign of break out what so ever it's awesome."


"I have taken this medicine for three years.  I have chronic bronchitis, COPD, and asthma.  I was coughing all the time, especially at night and couldn't sleep. I tried sleeping pills and a variety of cough medicines, none of which worked.  When given this, my cough immediately went away and stayed away for up to twelve hours, often longer. "


"Recently was prescribed Klonopin because my doctor didn't like how Xanax had such a quick onset but also quick fall.  I was okay with the change initially because even at 0.5mg, Xanax would make me so sleepy I couldn't function.  That made it pretty impossible to take during any day panic.  I've been have anxiety the last couple days, so I took a Klonopin last night hoping that I would wake with a sense of calm like I usually did with the Xanax.  Nope...the anxiety is actually worse.  Xanax isn't perfect; like I said, I generally try not to take it unless I am at home, so I've suffered a lot when I shouldn't have had to, but it has a much more calming affect than Klonopin is giving me.  I never took it long-term - only as needed."


"Was able to get a prescription within 48 hours of my flu symptoms. Horrible body aches, headache, sore throat, cough, fever, and chills. The stuff has really worked!  My symptoms were reduced considerably including my fever after two dosages. I have not had any of the other problems mentioned in these reviews at this time,  well into day two of taking the pills twice a day. Although I had absolutely no appetite, I made sure I ate a little something with the pill.  This may be partially why I have not had digestive issues, I really have not been eating.  Other than a little bit with the pill twice a day."


"I love Celexa. I was getting depressed after long hours of med school and studying and feeling like I had no time enjoyment. Celexa took about 3 weeks to work, but it worked and continues to work. I no longer feel depressed every day. Sometimes I sink into depression, but I am able to snap out of it much quicker. I feel less moody, and my boyfriend has noticed an improvement in my mood. The only side effect I experience is decreased sex drive/harder time climaxing, but I would prefer that over going off the deep end. I will continue to take this and consider weening myself from it once life is less stressful. Great medicine that can save your life."


"This medicine saves me. I get stomach aches a lot and it makes me feel so much better. And I was sick with the stomach flu about 2 weeks ago and it stopped me from throwing up. Works great. "


"I started this at the end of 1-30-17 weighing 141 lbs as of 3-15-17 I weigh 128 lbs
I have always exercised( I am blessed I love to and love water)- and tried eating healthy- and couldn't for the life of me to lose anything.
I take 1 in the morning and 1 before bed- I keep the bottle beside my bed so I don't forget to take both.  My Dr.  has me doing  a blood draw the once a month since this can damage your liver-  to make sure it isn't damaging my liver.  I will probably get off of it since I am at a weight I love and being 5'4 1/2 ( have to put that 1/2 in there:0 ) I feel great- Kind scared me that I lost so much in a little amount of time - though , I am not complaining.It will be interesting to see what happens when I get off of it."


"This medicine should not be given to the elderly due to side effects causing dizziness.  If you are experiencing nausea prior to the use of this medicine, do not take it, it will increase the symptoms."


"Restarted this medicine 2 weeks ago.  Only problem I have is lost of appetite.  I was on this medication this year and still the same. No major side effects."


"Imuran seemed to help for a few months but after prolonged use it weakened my immune system too much. I started getting colds about every three weeks. Which made me feel run down and tired more so than just having colitis alone, but it did at least calm my symptoms for a while."


"I had brain surgery in May, and was on Oxy for 4 months, at at least 40 mg a day. That may not seem like a lot for very long, but I had a history of being hooked on opiates and I knew it would get out of hand, so I went to pain management right away and asked how to taper properly and he gave me a schedule to follow and clondine bc I never want to go through withdrawal again. I took it yesterday and the craving feeling is gone. No anxiety, nothing. But...I am so tired. Flat on my back tired. I am hoping that it eases up, but I know it's a side effect of this med."


"I have never seen an antibiotic work as quickly as this one did.  It seemed to work faster than any over-counter-decongestant.  I really had no side effects that I know of aside from, perhaps a bit of sleeplessness the first night or two. I avoided caffeine while using this drug for that reason.  My only concern was the $245 doctor visit for about a 3.5 minute visit with the doctor. I have no insurance, so well maybe it wasn't so bad as I probably would have had to have paid that much per month for six years before the insurance company covered $50 dollars of that visit! Anyway, no matter it was worth it & I will just send them money little by little to pay them off. At least the let the bill get billed to me.  Avelox was a "free" sample!"


"I experienced most of the side effects that my dermatologist told me about, primarily the dry skin portion. I was instructed to avoid chlorine, avoid direct sun light w/o sunscreen, and other things. The dry skin was really the only really not fun part, it was almost like eczema. I had large patches on my arms, and primarily at the corners of my mouth that were extremely painful when cracked. The doctor did recommend some facial moisturizers (Cerave), cleansers(Cerave), and lip balm(Aquaphor) to help in the healing process, which I still use today :)  I was extremely pleased with my results and occasionally had zits after the use but nothing compared to the initial skin. My skin also recovered great!"


"I am a 48 year-old woman who has had bipolar I disorder since I was 12.  It hit me severely and I have had a very difficult time with it.  During one of the latest bouts I tried Abilify at 2 mg and definitely felt a bump up in my mood.  I was so so excited and totally would've stayed on it except my appetite increased to such a degree that I immediately started gaining weight.  Food was like crack - it became utterly and completely addictive.  I could not stop eating!  I would try and control it for a few days but I was utterly and totally unable to stop.  An improvement in mood was worth 10 pounds but at 13 pounds in 8 weeks and no stopping I had to stop.  Super disappointed.  It is the only medication where I felt immediate relief."


"Had IUD Mirena inserted last April, 2015, it was excruciating. I bleed for 10 days 1st 3 months & had consent spotting. My periods are dark black blood clots & very few months of heavey red bleeding. There are months I have anywhere to 2/3 periods. I also had extremely bad anxiety/depression, crying fits, gnarly headaches, major cramps and severe mood swings, family hates me/it!!!! I decided to do IUD after Loestrin 24 was disconnected. Am 44 & ever had children. Calling to get it out & back on the pill. I do not recommend this product."


"Enbrel worked wonderfully controlling my moderately severe psoriasis clearing it up completely.  My swollen and painful hands from psoriatic arthritis quickly had no more swelling, no more pain, and the joint damage was slowed to next to nothing.  The injections can burn sometimes, but the pain was worth it.  I had insurance to cover it for a year and a half.  It is VERY expensive at almost $500 per shot.  I needed one shot per week, sometimes two.  Now, I have no insurance and my Enbrel will be running out. I am so worried about the future. Without Enbrel, my life will be painful and the joint damage will quickly progress as well as severe psoriasis again!"


"My step dad was using this Medication for less than two weeks before the pill itself killed him, proof is in the death certificate. He was not abusing either. He complained from day one of taking it of many side affects. Sleeplessness dizziness trouble urinating hallucinations still felt pain couldn't stand without falling etc,. He asked his doctor to be off the pill and they told him to wait until they see him the following Month. Also fault in there practice too."


"I chose Skyla over the pills because I have horrible memory and I would forget to take one every night around the same time. Skylas insertion isn't as bad as I read about it. I was terrified because of what online said about it. The insertion is about 10 seconds long of period cramps on steroids. I took two 800mg of Advil before hand like my gyno suggested. I had cramps the first few days, spotting since I wanna say October 3, 2016 to mid November. My periods have been a day or two long with minimal to barely any blood. Highly recommended. No cramps, no headaches, tiny mood swings, a little acne but nothing a face wash can't fix. I have had a loss of appetite though, not sure if it is the Skyla though."


"Do NOT take this pill. It gave me blood clots when I switched to it from another brand. I had hundreds of blood clots scattered through out my brain and I was days away from dying. It controlled my symptoms (heavy flow, severe cramps), but NOT worth the side effects. Tell everyone you know never to take this pill!"


"Highly addictive medicine. Very angry I was put on this. I have worse anxiety and hand, feet, and head tremors. Docs give out benzos too easily. Then they do not want to help you get off them. It is awful. They treat you like a pill seeker instead of slowly weaning you off. More doctors need to use the Ashton Method of withdrawal. Taking someone off benzos too quickly can induce anger, crying spells, depression, and even seizures. Too many doctors do not want to help patients get off these pills and it is wrong."


"Fantastic. Had some stress related issues, never had erectile dysfunction before in my life (divorce, work, super stressful job). It worked incredibly well, no headache, no pain of any kind, very, VERY mild sinus congestion. Super satisfied."


"A sub-lingual dose of Levsin for IBS will begin working within 15 minutes, offering almost immediate relief of pain and discomfort. I highly recommend it if a doctor has prescribed it."


"Diagnosed with Pneumonia, had been on Cefuroxime for an URTI which didn't really help. Doxy got rid of the infection!"


"Amazing results from a Z-Pak!  I had strep throat, and love the convenience of a 5 day run of antibiotics.  I had no apparent side effects from the medication."


"I was on Tramadol for 4+ years, then not tapered and put on Nucynta for a weak and it wasn't great. So pain doctor put me on Butrans 5 and I'm not really sure if it is working. I feel kinda yucky but is it because of the stopping of the 2 other medications so close together and no tapering? I have sneezing and a few other symptoms going into day 3 of the patch. I'm just not sure."


"I am on this patch 5mg for three weeks.  I have been on tramadol for 13 years and maxed out. I am in miserable withdrawal and anxiety and leg cramps and diarrhea  the entire time.  So fidgety and miserable I cannot sleep. MD has  nothing to say.  Do I quit ?  I  want to forget it and go back on tramadol."


"I have been using Mirtazapine for over 10 years, I started with a does of 15mg which worked wonderful with insomnia, however during the time of first using it I was suffering from anxiety, and my doctor up the dose to 30mg which I was on for a few years, until anxiety became worse, which he up the dose to 45mg which I found was to strong as I noticed that dizziness started to happen, so I halfed the dose of 45mg and it all settled down. The dose was a little low, so I went back to 30mg and have been on this dose for the last 6 years. I do not get side effects from this medication of weight gain, or dizziness and even photo sensitive, I have been on it for quite some time and do not plan on getting off it as it works wonderful."


"Have been on and off hizentra for a few years. It really works; however; my hair is thinning and my hairline receding. I am tapering off now in order to save my hair but I am exhausted and starting to feel sick again. So frustrating."


"I was misdiagnosed for several years by numerous doctors who all kept throwing drugs upon drugs to deal with one symptom after another. I finally found my current psychiatrist who properly diagnosed me at that time with BP2. I started on Lamictal then and as the years have progressed and episodes have happened and my diagnosed changed to BP1 my dosage changed. I've been taking 600 mg for years and have had no side effects at all. To keep my mania at bay I take 600 mg of seroquel daily and then 300 mg of Wellbutrin to keep depression leveled out. I have to take 400 mg of Lamictal in the morning and then the other 200 mg at night before bed. That seems to keep a even range in my body."


"I hit 28 on the PSA test, was prescribed Hytrin and gradually went from 1 to 5 pills a night. After a couple weeks or so the side effects were so bad I had to stop taking it. Intense headaches, nausea. It was unpleasant. Awaiting my doctor to find something else, on the "plus" side, after a month my PSA went from 28.3 to 8.8 and I have no trouble peeing. "


"Great!"


"I started using the Nuvaring approximately one month before my wedding day and never used any kind of hormonal birth control before. That was a mistake. I thought it'd would be easier than trying to remember when to take a pill- and it was, except, that on my wedding night, I was experienced great discomfort, which I thought was due to lack of experience? Dryness and pain. Not fun at all. My newlywed husband and I didn't think of it, until after the three weeks, and then the one week of not having the Nuvaring in. One week later, put a new ring in, and then started having serious pee issues- pain and burning, moodiness like all get-out, headaches. So five days later, took the ring out, and had another period! Am going to try the FemCap (2nd generation)."


"I felt so much less anxious initially, so foolishly, and with doctors encouragement, I stayed on Paxil for 3-4 years.  Two months ago, I started to ween myself off this medicine very slowly. I have never felt so bad in my 72 years of life.  At first, I felt it must be the flu though I'd had a flu shot in November of last year (13).  The withdrawal symptoms of nausea, vomiting, hot flashes. Not thinking clearly, fatigue, extremely vivid and frightening dreams, dizziness, and depression lasted 5-6 days.  My doctor recommended that I go back on Paxil at half a tablet initially, and then a whole tablet after a week.  So it has been two weeks now of my taking a 40mg. Dose each evening.  I tried documenting my terrible experience."


"I am on my 3rd injections on both knees and in severe pain. The first one wasn't too bad, second was pretty bad, this time I can barely walk. The Dr said I should start getting some relief soon so I'm really hoping these work. I don't want to scare anyone away from getting these shots, I don't think my reaction is typical.,"


"I was diagnosed with IC shortly after the birth of my second son, in 1998.  Tried Elmiron and it did nothing to help with the pain or urgency.  I spent about 8 months thinking I had frequent UTI's, before diagnosing this correctly.  Once I went on the elavil, and changed my diet, my symptoms improved dramatically and quickly.  It worked very well.  After about 10 years, I decided to wean myself off of it and see if I could live without the medication and just watch my diet.  I was good for about a month.  The awful pain and urgency came back with a vengence.  I was in tears.  As soon as I went back on the elavil, within 1 day I was feeling almost completely normal again.  I am resigned to being on 25 mg daily of elavil for life."


"Been taking escitalopram every day for a little over a month now. I think it matters to mention I suffer from other diagnoses (OCD, anxiety, BPD, and another). My mood used to swing very violently between angry, energetic, and extremely depressed. Now, I don't shift from bored or underwhelmed (only every now and then - to very depressed). No matter how much I sleep I feel terribly tired. I'm unable to draw, sculpt, or run as I did every day before being medicated. I feel very disconnected from my friends as well."


"The doctor just put me on this medication for my high anxiety. I was taking Xanex 1mg and switched me to this, its been 2 days taking it at a 7.5 mg and I'm really not noticing any relief at all."


"I went to urgent care on second day of constantly vomiting and body aches with stuffy nose. And I ended up having flu and a stomach virus. So I was given nausea meds and tamiflu. So it did not make me sick like most people thanks to Zofran. But two days after starting I feel almost 100% unfortunetly it keeps me up ALL night. But no sleep is better than the flu..."


"I can honestly say this birth control almost ruined my life. Immediately I noticed a change in my mood and was crying all the time which wasnt like me. After being on it for a few months I started getting these weird light headed spells. I would mostly just ignore them until around month 8 I had a full blown panic attack out of no where. I had never experienced anything like this before and was extremely scared. That developed into months of anxiety and panic disorder. When I finally realized it was the bc causing my issues I stopped taking it and my anxiety went away. That was 4 years ago and I have never experienced anything like that again so I 100% believe it was because of avaine."


"I have used nuva ring for 7 years. It is the only birth control I have ever used besides condoms, so I don't have any other frame of reference, however I have had  such a good experience with it. I'm 23 now and have been on it since I was 15. I have been extremely sexually active since age 15, and have never been pregnant. As long as you keep track of your schedule of putting it in and taking it out, it is fine. My periods could literally be clocked to the hour, I always knew when I would have them. However, recently I have been having one horrible migraine every month the day before my period (the day I take nuvaring out). Which is probably due to a switch in hormones. But otherwise, I would suggest at least trying it. It's been great."


"Relieves pain faster but not quite like a narcotic...safer! 8.5 to a 9 out of 10 for 800mgs does the job!!"


"Keeps my mood even 24/7...also I have noticed no side effects either. Been on this medication for 9 years 300mgs daily."


"IM injections of Reglan helped to relieve my nausea and vomiting that resulted from serious side adverse effects from an antibiotic."


"Did nothing to lower my blood pressure, and I am quite certain caused chronic pleural effusions which required going on 4 thoracentesis procedures.  This is a condition where the pleural space around the lung, which already has fluid to help the lung glide easily in the chest, increases it's fluid to, well for me, TWO LITERS, on one side, and yesterday, 1.1 liters on the other.  I can time my lung issues directly to the initiation of Losartan.  I believe it altered the hydro-dynamics of my body , a common theme from Losartan users."


"I have had bad headaches for about 20 yrs. I have taken Migraine medications ( no luck )
I was finally diagnosed having tension combination migraines fioricet # 3 or fiorinal #3 have worked the best."


"Definitely does it's job. I've been on it for a  little over one year and there haven't been any complications, it's my only form of birth control (my fiance is the only man I sleep with) so it's been doing all the heavy lifting. I like it a lot because I don't have to remember to take a pill every day at seven  however there are some issues with my period. The longest period I had lasted one month however I haven't had it since, and it has been about three months. Make sure to keep track of your period. So it really sucks to have a month long period but to not have it for three, going on four months, has been super awesome!!"


"Terrible! After the third day, my chest was tight accompanied with headaches, body aches and chills.
I stopped after the third day and after reading side effects. Three days later, I'm still experiencing chills, headaches and I feel like I'm dragging."


"I've had Implanon for almost 2 months now. After the first 2 weeks I got my period and to this day I'm still bleeding. Some days it's very very light, some days it's heavy but most days it's just there. It's only enough bleeding for a light tampon, but the point is I'm still bleeding. This is my biggest complaint about Implanon and I'm hoping it'll stop eventually. But the only other side effect I've gotten from this is the occasional KILLER headache, but an 800mg Motrin takes that away. In fact I think I feel one coming on right now. I can't complain too much, every other birth control I've been on has failed me hence my 2 kids."


"Seroquel, 50mg nightly in addition to Lithium (2 x 200mg) and Cipramil (20mg) a dream combo for me. Stops the racing thoughts and knocks me out cold for 8 hours / night. Slight weight gain of maybe 2-3 kilos but hardly noticeable. I'll take the extra weight over hypomania and insomnia any dat."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The flavor of the drink made me gag and feel nausea. I was only able to sip it with a straw. I made it 2/3 of the way through the first drink before I was too nauseated to continue it. If I had not been sucking on lemons (as suggested by other reviewers), I would not have managed to drink the 2/3 cup. Regardless, I was in the bathroom within 15 minutes of my first sip of the drink, so this prep did what it was supposed to do. At 3:00 a.m., I started to drink cup 2. I could hardly stomach it and began to gag after drinking perhaps 1/4 of the cup and could no longer continue. However, even the 1/4 cup put me back in the bathroom, and when I went for the colonoscopy, I was told I was fully clean. I guess I did not need the whole dose."


"I've been using the 'Differin' Adapalene gel for around 3 years.  I used to have pretty severe acne when I was around 17/18. I started using the gel alongside Tetracyline anti biotic tablets and within a few months my skin had completely cleared up and marks had started to disappear. I'm now 22 and I haven't needed to use it for around 6 months."


"I have been on Phentermine 37.5 and Topamax 25mg since February 3rd 2016. I noticed immediately that I cannot drink carbonated beverages anymore after yelling at the poor fast food server that there seltzer machine was bad. I now only drink water or occasionally juice and tea. I did not change my eating habits during this first month but I did notice I would get full faster. I then began noticing that I was eating less and often times having to remind myself to eat. I am 5'8" and began my weight at 311lbs as of March 3rd 2016 I am 290 lbs. This month I have added daily walks around the block. As time goes by I will increase my distance and begin eating a little healthier."


"Hyper focused, dry mouth. Both this and Straterra put me into state of manic. Used Depakote 750mg for mental balance. "


"I started belviq last year July 2015, and for the first 7 months on it, only ate a healthy diet without excercise. Only lost 8 lbs. Was really disappointed.. Well 1 month ago, I began eating right AND exercising , and lost an additional 15 lbs. This is not a miracle drug. You can't take belviq alone and expect to lose weight. From my experience, I believe this med works well as a tool, but only if you completely change your lifestyle."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I can't imagine how it must taste plain.  The way I prepared it was not bad at ALL. I made homemade lemonade, LOTS of lemon juice and some sugar. Probably not super healthy, but it's all comin' out anyways! All you need is 1&3/4 cups white sugar, 6 cups of WARM water, and 1&1/2 cups lemon juice for each batch. The water *HAS* to be warm, or the laxative won't dissolve right, and it will be a nasty texture like many other people have complained of. Give it a taste test before you add it to the jug. The more lemon-y it is, the less you'll taste the saltiness of the meds. Lemon >sugar taste I promise! Hope this helps someone :) Chase it with a bit of water, and the only aftertaste will be a light lemon flavor!"


"I was given the 40 mcg injections. Like other people posted I got up in about 5 minutes. But when it came to performance, I went soft after inserting into my girlfriend. This is a big disappointment to her & makes her feel unwanted. She is very close to leaving me because I can't be a man in bed."


"I was on Lo-Ogesteral and was very happy with it but my doctor stopped carrying it and prescribed me Cryselle saying it was the same thing. I've been on it for almost 6 months now and am just as happy as I was with Lo-Ogestral. My period used to be really heavy and lasted a week before I was on birth control. Now it lasts 5 days and is pretty light to moderate depending on which day I'm on in my cycle, never heavy. No break through bleeding, no crying jags, no acne, no weight gain. The only thing that happens to me is the first few days of a new pack I get nauseous after taking the pill. But I get nauseous easily."


"Have been taking about 3 weeks (200mg/daily). Started having irregular heartbeats after about 2 weeks. Stopped taking and it cleared up, I started taking again and irregular heartbeats have returned. I guess I will have to stop, what a shame--- it really helps the pain!!!
	"


"I'm 23 and I've had my nexplanon in my arm for about 2 month now , took me a couple weeks to realize that this birth control definitely affects my mood. I've been crying over the littlest things , I have been very emotional and I've never experienced this kind of change due to birth control ever so it must have a lot of hormones in it to make me feel so depressed for no reason.  Also I've been breaking out on my face and spotting, I haven't bled a lot which is good and its the only reason I still have it in. Also pain in my breast and tenderness."


"Reading through these comments I am amazed nobody mentions the smell of the capsules.I 'm near 75 and have never encountered anything this foul. Really. Opening the bottle I thought of throwing it away.To get a capsules down I have to hold it away from my face and - essentially - throw it in my mouth.Takes a glass of water to make the odor go away."


"Today is Sat, and though I finished my amoxicillin (dental infection) on Wed, the side effects of vaginal dryness, burning and itching are still here.  I'm an RN, so I know side effects of Amoxicillin and I know Miconazole topical can itch and burn.  I used the generic version of the 1-day Monistat ovule- (1,200 mg miconazole nitrate), b/c you can use it during the day.  OMG! 30 mins later, the itching/burning became unbearable- fire ants are an accurate metaphor. I took 50 mg of Benedryl and put an ice pack on my crotch.  I cried.  A lot.  It was intense but it lasted only about an hour.  Now it feels like a hot throbbing but it's not painful- an unpleasant side effect of the medication.  Hang in there."


"Loestrin is about the 6th birth control pill that I have been on in the past 4 years.  Yaz, Ortho Tri, Sprintec, Yasmin and now Loestrin.  So far it has been one of my favorites.  The first month I was a bit moody but that subsided.  Periods only last for about a 2 days at the very most. Definitely increased my sex drive, no headaches or even pain around my period.  The only negative is that about 2 days before I start my period I tend to get really depressed but as soon as it starts the depression is gone and I'm back to normal."


"I found it totally amazing. I want everyone who smokes, no matter how long they've smoked, to take this medicine if able. I smoked for over 35 yrs and have tried different quitting methods but this took absolutely no effort, side effects minimal and manageable. And best of all I had no withdrawal symptoms no real cravings just need to keep my hands busy. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You."


"I was surprised when I read all the comments about the side effects, I should have read this site before I took Movantik. I also though I was going to die, I had all the side effects listed here. I'm afraid to take it again. I'll try cutting the pill to a quarter and see if it works without the side effects.. I will keep you posted."


"I've been on phentermine since Sep 2, 09. I was 291lbs. today, still taking it, I'm 248lbs.That's a loss of 43lbs & there are no words. For about 6 weeks I didn't take the drug because of certain reasons. Coupled with exercise, running 1.5 miles 3-4 times & doing Zumba 4-5 times a week & watching what I eat. I see the results & I'm very proud. I've found that phentermine is not meant as a simple, quick fix, but is to help change your body AND mind so that you can maintain because a change of mind has taken place once you are off. I suggest exercising when you start taking it because the weight will come off even if you do nothing, and that can be deceiving in that you won't think you have to work as hard and you'll gain it back plus some when you stop."


"I took Pristiq for 3 days and stopped it myself. I was taking it for anxiety. The first day I took it, my anxiety seemed worse. I was very jittery and extremely sleepy. I could fall asleep anywhere at any time of the day. The second day, my body still felt on edge. I started having bad thoughts that I would have never had before. Then I started feeling nauseous at times. The third day of taking it, I was so unhappy. I wasn't enjoying anything. I wasn't excited about anything. I still felt extremely sleepy and had bad thoughts going through my mind. I stopped taking it a couple of days ago. I feel a lot better than I did, but I still think it's going to take a little longer for this stuff to get out of my system!"


"I've had migraines for 26  years. I've tried every migraine medication with no success. They either didn't work or the side effects were intolerable. This migraine has lasted 1 year. I received Botox injections and woke up the next morning with no pain. Finally relief with relatively little side effects. I would recommend this to anyone who has minimal relief from typical migraine medications."


"The pill worked within a month. I stopped taking it and my acne came back so I'm back on the pill and now it's taking quite a bit of time to go away."


"I have had fibromyagia for about 10 years. I had got to the point that I was in so much pain that I was considering going to a pain specialist for more medicines for pain.  My doctor suggested Savella and I have finished the two week pack and I feel great!  A lot of people who have such side effects need to check what medicines they are on and make sure they do not interact with this drug. I have severe dry mouth, constipation and some twitches. But I am on a pain level of 3 or 4. My thing was when I was sitting I had throbbing pain and now I notice that I have no pain at all while sitting still and was amazed and so grateful. I have been going out with friends and walking and even walked to my mail box which is a good way away. I love Savella. "


"I love Mirena more then any other birth control method. Had it put in 3 months after my daughter was born. There was slight pain with insertion but my cervix had fully closed by that time. I had light spotting that day and nothing since. I am also breastfeeding so that might be why I am not bleeding like others. I have had no mood swings acne or weight gain. I do have a Masters in pharmacology and from an education background I can say most of those side effects people complain about are from your bodies adjusting from having a baby in you and then out of you. The amount of hormone transfer from uterus site to outside the body is minimal that is why it is safe for breastfeeding mothers."


"100% accurate."


"2-day migraine, ended up in urgent care. Wanted Vicodin they ended up giving me a shot of this. Waited 10 minutes for signs of allergic reaction. Pain was reduced although not gone. Left urgent care. 30 minutes later full blown allergic reaction, swelling of face.

My experience, this med is not nearly as good as vicodin. Allergic reaction for me marks this as never again."


"I took chantix for 2 weeks. The first couple of days were ok, though I felt a little edgy and short tempered. By the 6th day I had a bad case of "no filter". I said whatever I was thinking no matter how rude it happened to be, ( I work at a Hospice House). It just came out. By the 8th day I didn't feel like I was ready to quit but I did really grumpy and argumentative.  It just didn't work for me."


"This medication works but not for everyone. I took this medication and had been smoke free for 9 weeks. I stopped taking it because I was no longer myself. I had terrible nightmares and my mental state was altered and still is 4 years after stopping the medication. I do not recommend this medication if you have any mental health issues, depression, anxiety...etc."


"I had Skyla put in a few days ago and so far it has not been painful at all.  I expected the procedure to hurt, but honestly I was just uncomfortable.  I took cylotec before the procedure so that my cervix would be dilated, so I think it helped a lot.   I would rate my pain level a 2 immediately after the procedure because it was not bad at all.  Its been a few days and I feel nothing!! I am so happy I tried this birth control honestly the Depo shot hurt more. I am so happy with the IUD so far.  I would definitely recommend."


"I've been taking Xarelto for 5 months for a blood clot brain . I've felt a range of side effects including : dizziness/vertigo, headaches, photosensitivity, lesions on my nose, ear and tongue, sinusitis, nausea, diarrhea, HEAVY menstrual bleeding, and general aches/fatigue. Basically, any kind of infection I get is much worse than it would be normally. I haven't had any major bleeding events, but my periods have been debilitatingly heavy.
As far as effectiveness, it has worked for me and I have not developed any further clotting, which is the most important thing. Not sure if other blood thinners are as effective and have less severe side effects, but if they are, it probably would've been worth the extra trips to the doc for me."


"Took 1000 mg for minor withdrawls from heroin use, and it really did the trick. Completely alleviated my muscle pains, and definitely had an effect on the skin crawls as well. I'm really glad I had these."


"I was born anxious and have been on various meds most of my life. After self-medicating myself through the 80s and 90s, with a multitude of illegal substances, I eventually hit an all-time low point and just had to stop.

Sertraline is the best prescription drug I have used,  compared to all the other options I have tried.

Having been on it for many years and using my experiences of other, more nefarious substances, I personally find that by stopping for a week or two, every two to three months not only increases the positive effects of the drug but also makes it easier coming of sertraline for longer periods, without suffering any severe withdrawal symptoms.

Just my experience, I am NOT a doctor, ALWAYS consult a professional."


"1) Have become very forgetful.
2) I daze out alot.
3) Hard breathing sometimes.
4) sleeplessness.
5) constantly have to be moving.
6) no real drive"


"Horrible pain during injection after numbing to the point of being light headed and having to lay down. I have an extreme high pain tolerance. I have had multiple steroid injections with no pain. Pain medication injections that didn’t hurt.
Have had no relief after 2. Would not recommend this drug."


"Very good to help control asthma. No side effects. Wish there was a generic, but meanwhile, worth the cost."


"I can't  use the explicit language to describe my time with this, IMO, rat poison..Started at 37.5 ,then 75,eventually 225.Naturally, Dr's always say-"You've got to give it time to work!"..SURE DOC!..Want you to all know I'm no rookie at this, having battled depression for 23 years, and taken over 30 different meds, and certainly, THIS DRUG WAS BY FAR, THE WORSTTTTT..I refuse to believe that this drug was allowed to be given to humans.Getting on it, I became practically more dead, spending 20 hours a day in bed,, suicidal ideations one after another, crying, not eating, hopeless even more and every other negative symptom you can name associated with depression.Getting off is YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE-FOR ME?.3 ENTIRE MONTHS!=BEWARE!!"


"Had almost every side effect! Gained weight, very moody, my face and back broke out bad (which I usually never have), very tender breast, frequent headaches, tired. Was just NOT a good experience, after 3 1/2 months I couldn't take it anymore.  Scared to try a different one now since how bad of an experience this was."


"I had Liletta inserted on September 2016, I was on the first day of my period, as it was recommended by my gyn, the procedure lasted about 5 min really quick—although I had been a week before for a check up— it was super painful with nothing to compared it to, I have never been pregnant. I took ibuprofen since I had terrible cramps, discomfort and pain for two days. After that my period continue as usual although I had following spotting for two weeks. The next periods where shorter but I did experienced more cramping and spotting every now and then. I use an app called "clue" to help me track all the different things I have been experiencing. I have not put on any weight, but for the past two months I have had two periods per month."


"I got my Nexplanon implanted on October 15th of last year. Since then I have basically been on a constant menstrual cycle. The longest gap I have had without a period is a week. I go from being spotty to having a constant heavy flow. I am having it removed next week."


"Very good migraine medicine. I've taken it on several different migraine attacks and it works every time. I do get the side effect of the "warm/tingling sensation" that scared me the first time I took it, but I immediately called my doctor and that is a mild side effect of the drug. Also, I tend to get a heavy sensation around the neck area and tingly sensation in the nose, but they go away after an hour or two and the migraine is completely GONE. Miracle drug for sure! Ask your doctor or neurologist about Treximet!"


"I am very displeased. I started cryselle because my previous birth control wasn't strong enough to stop bleeding caused by endometriosis. This drug made me very sad, depressed and angry and I had a lot of mood swings. On top of all of that, I gained 14 pounds in a month. What fun."


"I am titrating on 3 mg of Vraylar for week 2 and all my agitation is gone. I feel calm and sensible now. I'm tapering off of seroquel so I do not know how beneficial it will be with sleep but there's less sedation during the day which is a plus. I would recommend vraylar because of its low side effects profile."


"My insurance switched me over to Xulane from Ortho Evra and at first it was going really well. I am now 4 months in and it's terrible. I have the worst mood swings, low libido, I've gained 10 pounds and I get a rash around the application area. I have a outline of the patch on my hip that has been there for 3 months.... I would not recommend this to anyone. While it does it's job, keeping me not pregnant, the side effects aren't worth it. Back to the pill I guess..."


"After reading the reviews here and seeing women having the same experience I had on the mirena I wanted to share my experience too.

PROS: execellent birth control! My fiancé and I have enjoyed not having to worry about babies and just enjoy each other. Very convenient set it and forget it birth control.

CONS (mind you this is my personal experience and everyone receives this birth control differently): painful insertion had cramps the rest of the day. Painful menstral cramps. Irregular periods. Weight gain. Painful acne that left scarring. I am prone to migraines and actually had them more often on mirena. Severe fatigue."


"Very exceptional. Has taken away the PAIN I thought would never stop. No side effects experienced nor was I out of control of my actions or any other media hype you read. Why are any medications developed if they cannot be used the way they are intended to be used. "


"I was recommended to take Senna-S but drug Mart said their brand Senna-lax was the same thing. I took 2 pills as directed and for the past 5 days I have had explosive constant diarrhea, black liquid, yellow mucous coming out non stop. Horrible stomach pain and can not eat and deathly afraid to eat. Made me feel worse than the flu. Have been in bed 4 days and I am Hospice patient so would never ever recommend this.

I have had several colonoscopies and their preparation was no way as bad as this. I won't buy drug generics from any drug store again. Pay the regular price as the drug mart generics are not worth the results."


"Works great even as a rescue inhaler"


"I'm from the UK, and  have had severe migraine for the past 20 years. They have affected not only me but my family in many ways. I don't know how they put up with it really.  I have been taking 10mg at night for the past 3 months and apart from a little sleepiness in the morning it has transformed my life.  My migraines initially lessened in intensity to the extent that now I just feel very tired on the days when I would have had one - this I can cope with.  My regret is that I did not find out about this medicine sooner as I could have enjoyed my life and my children when they were younger more."


"I was on Loestrin for 3 years with no problems but now I have acne which I haven't had for 10yrs. And missing periods and bad PMS and depression. And my sex drive has dropped."


"I came down with Bronchitis and was prescribed Zithromax. I was prone to ear infections when I was younger and was always prescribed this because I was allergic to penicillin. I had no side effects then, but now I have bad stomach cramps and diarrhea."


"Diflucan caused me to break out with a rash in my face and on my arms, neck, and back within two days of starting it. Therefore I can't honestly rate its effectiveness so good luck."


"The flector patch is the only medication that I have been prescribed that has significantly helped my lower back & hip pain.  I have been prescribed oral pain pills & they didn't touch
 Of course, the insurance won't pay for them.  Let me just say that without the patch my life is painful enough that I am pretty much in a recliner all day.  I am going without other things to have the patch.  My pain level would be 8 to 10. With the pain patch it is 3 to 5."


"If you are serious about making a change in you're life then this pill would be a good starting point. The first week is tough. It made me very nauseous, but if you put up with it, you're body adapts and you feel a lot better around week 2. It cuts you're food intake in 1/2. Cravings are gone. it also has made me want nothing but water. I usually drink a Pepsi in the morning and I no longer have a craving for that. Water only. I do get a bit sleepy, I believe that's from the pill. No headaches. I recommend this pill if you're serious about wanting to make a change and are not a cry baby."


"I was on Lexapro 20mg while I was caregiver for my Mom and Brother for 10 years. They both passed away and I decided to go off of the Lexapro so weaned off.. WRONG thing to do! I hit a low and was so depressed I became suicidal. I missed them both terribly and felt so empty. MY Doctor put me on Citalopram 10 mg and within a few days I could feel the difference again. I have been on it for over a month and am on 20 mg. Finally I am able to go out and meet people again and handle my depression. The only bad thing from both meds is my lack of sexual desire. I am 67 but am not dead so would like to be able to make love with my hubby. But if that has to be given up to keep my sanity and our home peaceful again then it is worth it to both of us."


"I adore Vyvanse. It totally improves my quality of life keeping me energized, making me think more clearly and putting me in the happiest mood ever. Different medications work better for different people, but I very highly recommend Vyvanse."


"After only being on this medicine 3 weeks, I have noticed a huge difference as my warts are all gone except for one, but it's so tiny & shriveled now that I don't think it'll last much longer either. During the first week/week and a half of using the Aldara (Imiquimod) Cream, I didn't notice much after applying the cream except that the warts got very red & stood out even more. This was a little distressing, but within a few more days the area on and around the warts started flaking up & falling off sort of like a healing scab. There have been some side effects of redness, slight rash, & itching, but Gold Bond powder daily & neosporin occasionally really have helped. One more week left this round, & will use it again in a flash if neeeed."


"I have been 5 months quit thanks to Chantix.  It really takes the edge off from day 1 if used as directed.  My problem is the internet uses cookies.  So even though I think I've quit, all I see are ads for Chantix, which reminds me of cigs when I'm not thinking about them.  I may start back because of the Chantix ads!!!  Please stop !!!  I'm also seeing nonstop Jimmy Fallon ads even though I only clicked on one thing of his please make that stop too Chantix."


"I was on this one for several years and the longer I was on it the more tender and painful my breasts became."


"I love this medicine.  My Dr originally gave it to me for weight loss but it got rid of all my joint pains.  I had it everywhere.  It was a miracle drug for me.  I am noticing some memory loss,  and difficulty concentrating but I'm 52 so it could be age.  I'm going to cut back on the dosage and see if I notice changes."


"Imitrex would eventually stop the headache but like others have stated, my heart feels like its about to jump out of my chest and I would get a worse headache before it got better. "


"I take 2mg it makes me calm but also depressed and sad with no energy. Mary"


"Excellent product. Works slightly better than zaditor the otc product.  Is great for spring pollen."


"I find this med works better than asacol for me."


"I have had head lice for 3 months, my teen age daughter passed it to me. I have thick curly hair. I'm desperate. I have used permethrins, and other over the counter medications. It seems it tames the lice, it stops itching me for 3 or 4 days and I go back again with itching. I am not infested. It is just one two or three that keeps on surviving. Some body checks my hair about every week and she can't find eggs but I see the red bumps in my scalp. I am going to get this natroba and I am praying it will work. I can't sleep because my scalp itches."


"I have been using this product  for 15 days along with a oral pill and have not seen any changes in my back acne. Going to use the bottle until it runs out. Have moderate back acne."


"I don't react well to blood pressure meds. Quick story: I'm 24, Female, overweight (but working on it now) and haven't had an issues with health at all until 3 weeks ago. My norm BP before this issues were around 125/76 (I work at the hospital, I check it often) 3 weeks ago I had chest pains and went to the ER and my BP was 160/103 and ever since Its been about 145/100 with meds when I wake up daily.

I started off on Metoprolol (I think its called) it helped lower my BP a little going down to 135/85 but the side effects were HORRIBLE. I felt like a zombie, I couldn't focus and almost got into a car accident, My chest pains would come back, I had tingling in my legs right arm and jaw, and eye twitching and spasms. My BP would shoot up."


"Works, but has to be dosed correctly.  There is little else that will help like this wonderful drug.  DO NOT USE OTHER OPIOIDS AS YOU WILL ONLY TRANSFER YOU DEPENDENCY.  AVOID KRATOM, SUBOXONE, METHADONE AS YOU WILL JUST BECOME DEPENDENT ON THEM.  The clonidine needs to be high enough to become slightly sedating.  But at this level it blocks the negative effects of the withdrawal.   To be done right, you need to be monitored by a health professional especially due to BP.   I would recommend checking your BP 4-5 times daily (or have someone else do it) and report to your doctor.  If you think it does not work, your dose is not high enough.  Some require 0.2 mg every 4-6 hours.  Watch BP close."


"This helped my urges and impulses !"


"I started using Zoloft one and a half years ago.  It definitely helped my mood, especially anxiety and depression.  I also have a much more stable mood throughout my day.  It did cause me to gain weight when I started taking it, but I was not eating enough prior to taking the medicine.  Occasionally, I would get headaches and after a while my body started having panic attacks again.  But for the first year at least, I would say it was the perfect medication"


"I have been on Gilenya for a year now and I am very happy with it. I can now do things I could not do while on Copaxone or Avonex. One issue I have found while on Gilenya is I get dizzy spells often, but other than that I am happy. For those of you that say it's costly call your Gilenya rep and get them to pay your co-pay it helps. Check with your doctor about taking more Vitamin-D and Vitamin-C, this will help with colds etc."


"I actually use this medicine for my bipolar disorder. So far I have had no side effects and no problems with it. My mood has improved a great deal and I don't have anything to complain about. This medicine is a life saver for me!"


"I started taking nitrofurantoin today for a bladder infection first and only pill at about 1pm, felt fine till about 6pm and started feeling extremely tired to the point I could hardly stay awake. Then came the horrible nausea (thanks for Zofran) along with, dizziness, chills, shortness of breath, headache, stuffy nose and not feeling well in general."


"My doctor prescribed me Lutera since I am new to birth control. One major thing is that you really need to set a reminder(on phone, alarm clock, anything) because it is pretty easy to forget about it. I've been on the pill for about 9 months, and pretty good. Small things include: weight change (decreased-also my change in diet I think), more acne then before I was on this pill, slim to non mood-swings, slight spotting between periods, and definitely lighter periods. I wouldn't say shorter but definitely lighter. Overall pretty good product for a first time user. Just make sure you set an alarm, also comes in a green sturdy pack so I guess you can find it if you put clothes or books over it and it's peaking out."


"Almost died. Severe lung scarring and severe hypoxia. 74% 02 saturation. 3 months of continual oxygen, fortunately I recovered."


"I have been on Zoloft for almost 30 years now and never any higher than 50mg. I was stricken with panic/anxiety disorder in my early 20's, and now early 50's, I have never had to go higher. It keeps the attacks at bay, but once in a while, I will get one. I have heard it is hereditary. I do believe this is the case. Both of my siblings struggle with the attacks, and take Zoloft as well. Both of my girls suffer as well. The youngest one, now 23, has just started on Zoloft, 25 mg and she is not sure if it is working just yet. The oldest one is able to keep them at bay without medicines. You lose your sex drive on these medicines. I have confidence on this drug and hope others will also."


"Love it. My doctor just tried to switch me to Buspar, but I just read all the reviews and found not one good thing. I don't even plan to try it.

I have been taking 1 mg of Ativan as needed for panic attacks for a year and will stick with it."


"In January 2009, I was prescribed Dilaudid 8mg (2 tabs 4X/day) to battle break-through pain, in conjunction with my constant regimen of OxyContin 80mg (2 tabs, 3X/day) therapy. It was as though I had been given a placebo. No effects - neither positive or negative. I have a high degree of opiate tolerance, which renders pain management a difficult chore. My doctor switched me over to morphine sulfate immediate release back in August (30mg, 2-3 tabs/every 3-4 hours), which (to my system, at least), is far more effective, despite the fact that Dilaudid's efficacy is about 6-7 times that of morphine's."


"Taken for a month and have noticed positive improvement in every part of my life! Only side effect was gas in the beginning but has gone away."


"I had unprotected sex while ovulating and he did cum inside me. I took plan b 1 hr later. I was freaking out but i bled 4 days after for about 4 days lightly and then my period came 2 weeks early n was very heavy with bad cramps but got my period and not pregnant the pill worked. All the worrying and  thinking for sure that  I was pregnant and I wasn't the pill did its job."


"I’ve been on Loryna for a couple of years now (maybe 3 or 4?). I absolutely LOVE this pill for controlling my acne. It is the only other thing besides daily antibiotics (doxycycline) that have controlled my acne. I tried Sprintec prior to this and it did nothing for my acne. Short term, I have had no side effects from Loryna. No weight gain, no extreme mood swings, nothing. My only complaint and reason for considering switching is that after taking this long term, I recently developed spider veins on my thighs. I have NEVER had such a thing so it was very concerning as I am only 25 and in very good health, and as I know there are increased risks for DVT while taking this drug. Recently the areas on my thigh where the spider veins developed have become somewhat painful at work (as I stand all day). I attribute the development of the spider veins directly to Loryna as this is only medication I have taken the past couple years. It is such a shame because I absolutely love what it has done for my skin (flawless even during the time around my period), but the veins cause a large concern for me so I am heavily considering switching.
Overall, I love Loryna for the shorter term, however if you plan to be on it for a few years, it may be concerning.

I also know someone else who was on Gianvi (another generic for Yaz) and the same thing happened to her regarding spider/varicose veins."


"My doctor gave me some samples of Movantik as well as an Rx for it.  Took first pill on an empty stomach one hour before a meal as directed.  Cramps started about an hour after taking it.  Cramps increased in intensity over the next few hours until I was experiencing the worst stomach pains of my life.  I've actually gone to the ER for stomach pain less severe than this.  Initial normal bowel movement quickly turned into total diarrhea (with the most horrible odor imaginable).  Additional side effects included intense nausea and just an overall feeling of being very sick.  These symptoms continued for an agonizing 8 to 10 hours.  I reported the side effects to my doctor and he advised against taking any more of it.  This drug is a nightmare"
