"Taking Invokana for at least several years now. Also take metformin and Tradjenta, but the latter is new for me. One thing I noticed almost right away was a "weird" feeling that was kind of like skin sensitivity which could be related to (decreased) circulation. When I told doctor about it, was told very firmly that "that is not something associated with this drug." Now all of a sudden there is new info about increased amputations! Also get the aches, muscle pains and swollen arm pits/arms. I was really wondering about that! Why? No yeast problems, though. Did help as the "final push" to really help normalize sugars, but will now reconsider taking it! Prob. not worth it."


"I have Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS, as well as depression and anxiety resulting from PTSD. I have been on Zoloft for over 10 years, trying to taper from it for the last 5. I couldn't get down past 50mg of Zoloft without dreadful side effects, until my doctor suggested I cross taper with Cymbalta. It has made all of the difference in the world. I am now down to 20mg of Zoloft (without any withdrawal symptoms), and up to 30mg of Cymbalta. I noticed within the first few days that my depression and anxiety had subsided almost completely, and my Fibromyalgia pain has measurably decreased. I haven't had to use as much oxycontin, or klonopin. I look forward to seeing if combining Lyrica will allow me to get off the oxycodone altogether."


"Luckily I recovered from Stage 4B Lymphoma most likely caused by Aldara. Russian roulette is safer."


"After three days of perscribed use of the generic bactrim, my headaches and nasal discharge have decrease dramatically. Side Effects, insomnia (reason I am writing this review), pain in jaw and throat if not taken with ample water."


"Started byetta in mid October 5mgs at first. Moved on to 10mgs from mid November.  I almost finished that pen now but I have had no nausea or any other side effects, no weight loss, no difference in my food intake, no diff in my sugar levels. #sad face."


"I have had the WORST luck with birth control over the years and had to completely go off the pill for almost 2 years because of my extreme anxiety I was experiencing. I finally gave lolo a shot and it has been the first pill I've had zero side effects from except some breast tenderness. I would highly recommend this pill for anyone who is extremely sensitive to hormones like myself. I have however been on for over 3 months and have not had a period but have been told this is totally fine and not to worry so kind of an added bonus! Definitely worth a try!"


"This one made me dizzy to the point of being afraid I was going to faint at the slightest turn of the head."


"I have been saddled with sciatic pain off and on for over 15 months now. About a month ago, my Doctor switched me off of Naproxen and onto this drug. It seems to be a little more effective and I am only taking it twice a day. I would rate my daily pain level about a 3 on a scale of 10, and almost 0 an hour after taking this one tablet with a meal."


"I do not want kids and have tried various birth control w horrible side effects. This Nora BE mini pill was my last shot. Im on month 2. Headaches, weight gain, depression, panic attacks, super dry vag and cystic acne. Im done. Looking at getting the hormone-free copper IUD!!!"


"I got the implant on January 1st of this year and I have lost weight I weighed 125 pounds and I now weigh 113. I can't even tell its inserted in my arm and I still have a very high sex drive. I had tried birth control before this and I would forget to take the pill well with this I don't have to worry about talking a pill. I highly recomend this I had my period the first month but now I don't have it at all. I don't get bad cramps or anything. So far I haven't had any problems with it.!"


"This was my third colonoscopy and had never had problems before with other prep kits.    This one did me in.    I woke up the day of the procedure feeling queasy, and sure enough, about 40 minutes after drinking the prep, I was vomiting profusely.  I had to run the drug store to get magnesium citrate to complete the process, but got sick after that as well.   Luckily, I kept the latter down long enough to get the necessary affect.

My gastro was not happy that I'd had the problem.  He apologized profusely and said that was the last one he was prescribing.   Too many patients were reporting problems."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"So as someone who used to get drunk on rumpleminze peppermint schnapps, the taste is really not that bad. Surprisingly savory. I've drank worse. I started going about 2 hours ago after first dose, seems to be tailing off now. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Don't try to get an errand in after you drink this stuff.

Also keep a bland diet for the week of. I ate spicy noodles yesterday, and I wish I could have that decision back.

All humor aside, I'm really just hoping I don't have colon cancer. The prep is what it is, but you'll get through it. Drink the solution as cold as you can make it and do it fast. I chugged it and it wasn't that gross until the aftertaste. Sipping would be rough."


"This is my third week on this pill . I have taken birth control before and it was all smooth sailing. But with this pill I feel miserable, I have been bleeding for 5 days (two weeks after my period) and I have been in a horrible mood! Not wanting to talk to anyone or do anything. I would NOT recommend this birth control. I’m stopping immediately"


"This medicine was prescribed to me for bipolar disorder, along with irritability problems, serious anger was becoming a problem. I read these reviews after being prescribed and I can honestly say that I was not one who felt its benefits immediately. This medicine takes 3 to 4 weeks to fully affect you. So far the main thing I have noticed is that I feel more balanced, and have not had an over the top anger explosion. This medicine in combination to my others seems to be helping overall. Everyone's own body is a chemistry set, you just have to try things in combination with others and see if it helps. "


"I have taken Effexor for twenty-five years. I take 75 milligrams at night. I sleep like a baby even though I am 70 and most women my age have some sleep issues. I actually was diagnosed with adult ADD and prescribed the medication for that. I also had anxiety, a hair trigger anger problem, and no social filter. My psychciatrist didn't tell me all that, just that I had ADD. I could accept meds for that. The Effexor started to work within a week and I would not be without it. I like myself a lot better today than before Effexor."


"I have been taking xyzal now for 10 days. The first couple of days I thought I had finally found the answer to my chronic cough and allergy symptoms. It helped me to sleep through the night without coughing and most of the day. By about the fifth or sixth day I started having severe muscle aches and joint pain over my entire body. My mother is 88 years old and I feel like how she describes her body pain. The last few days I have been trying to decide if its worth the pain and fatigue until this morning on the 10th day. On top of the joint pain, muscle aches, tiredness, oh and crazy vivid dreams, I felt myself wanting to cry several times today. thats just not me. I'm done!!!"


"I'm glad it works for most people - it most definitely did not work for me. My doctor warned me about feeling tingly but that wasn't all-I took it at night like I used to do with Imitrex.My migraine had progressed to the point of not being able to function, nausea-the usual. I woke up and felt groggy, probably shouldn't have gone into work and DRIVE my kids to school but, the pain was done, it was a good 12 hours since I had taken the medication so I figured I was OK. Boy was I wrong. I could not function, my brain was dead BUT the worst part was the uncontrollable sobbing. I was crying for no apparent reason, for HOURS- The whole day! I had to leave work and have my mom pick up my kids and take care of me-nausea lasted all day too. NOPE!"


"I have had a severe case RSD/CRPS1 since 2007, as it began with an injury to my spinal cord in 2006 after a fracture. I have been on, and am still on, many medications to treat different aspects of it. I have been taking Savella since 2009 to help with the severe burning in both my feet, as well as my legs and pelvis. I also experience something that feels like a red hot fire poker sticking in the bottom of my foot. Savella has been the only medicine that has helped reduce these symptoms- and I have tried every single medicine out there for nerve pain/burning- either with horrible side effects or no results. Savella has worked the best. The only issue is I do notice headaches as I titrated up on the medicine."


"All these really good reviews are depressing me. I had my first ever gout attack 7 days ago and have been in mind blowing pain the entire time. My doc prescribed methyl prednisone 3 days ago, but I have so far seen absolutely no improvement, in fact, my symptoms might be worse. I have another 3 days of the pills to take, but so far it's not been effective for me. I hope that changes soon!"


"I was on Doxy for over 5 years because ever time I stopped it which you have to periodically, I felt so sick, confusion got worse, memory loss was HORRIBLE & all Lyme symptoms returned immediately. After 5 years my doctor said she could no longer give this to me due to the length I have been on it. It did help me while I was on it.I saw someone ask about a resurgence of Lyme symptoms that her daughter had, YES-ABSOLUTELY---the very first time I was placed on this the same issues happened to me & also if I was off it for more than 3 months to give my body a break it all started up again. I am still experienceing Lyme symptoms & always will, I was told I am at the best I will ever get. I am just grateful that I am no longer in a wheelchair..."


"So yes the first use was an experience. I had been so raw from constant itching that seemed to get worse within a few hours. I applied the cream to my lady parts and talk about wanting to take a cheese grater to your down under itchy fire parts. I had to take some Benadryl to help the itching. The vaginal insert of the cream wasn't bad until it melts....and then it gets itchy inside your lady cave so to speak. After the first hour it seemed to calm down a lot! I shouldn't have waited so long to have done something about it. I never had any thick discharge so I thought it was just a little irritated. I had never had a yeast infection and lord knows don't ever want to go through this again. But the product overall works."


"After a routine blood test for a physical it was discovered that I had a vitamin D deficiency. My Dr recommended ergocalciferol 50,000 IU capsules once a week for 12 weeks. Around 6 hours after I took that first dose I woke up confused and weak, it was the worse  day of my life. My personality changed completely, I thought I was going crazy. I cried, I was screaming, I couldn't even stand up from my bed. At some point I passed out for a short period and  when I finally opened my eyes everything was spinning. My husband rushed me to the hospital, and after a few tests and a CT scan it was determined that I had a really bad adverse reaction to the vitamin D. They gave me fluids and I guess that's what helped me to recover."


"I've had the nexplanon implant for about a year now and I have mixed feelings about it. Yes, it worked great in the aspect of me not getting pregnant, however I did gain about 20 pounds since getting the implant.  It's also made it almost impossible for me to lose any weight, I've been exercising, eating healthy, etc. At first I would get a lot of headaches but they've died down now, and I've also been very "gaggy," any little smell, texture, or sight of something gross makes me gag a lot. The one thing that's been keeping me from having it removed is the fact that I only get my period about 3-4 times a year. I used to have very painful cramps and heavy bleeding but since getting the implant my periods have been a lot lighter."


"Lipitor gave huge muscle cramps in my legs, sides and stomach."


"I had NEXPLANON insert on my arm about a year ago.
Since I had it on I been bleeding badly to a point that I am having it removed. My doctor prescribed me 2 months of birth control pills to see if would help me with the bleeding but as soon as I stop taking the pills my bleeding came back again. I contact the 1800 and they said this bleeding was normal and it was part of the symptoms, but how can you have any sex intercourse if you are bleeding 80% of the time. Asked Rep if NEXPLANON would reimburse me for the other 2 years that i have on the product since I wanna this remove as soon as possible and he laugh at me. Is frustrating that they insert the products on your body and if doesn't work properly they are not responsible. Never again."


"I'm 51, been having seizures since I was 12. Carbatrol and Depakote are what I'm taking now for about 20 years. These are the only medications that seem to work for me, I've been considered controlled, I drive, the best thing that happen to me. Only thing they are just so expensive."


"I never comment on these this but I feel this website sharing positive experiences helped me a lot. I had my first panic attack two months ago after a night out. Weeks of having 3-4 panic attacks a day and massive levels of anxiety followed. I tried to carry on with life as normal going to work, etc. and started CBT, which helped me establish it had started due to increased stress from work. I struggled to get on trains, tubes, eating in restaurant's, shopping...pretty much every day to day task. When I was put onto Cipralex and for the first four weeks I had high levels on anxiety, headaches, disassociation, tight chest, chest pains. Now on week 5 on Lexapro I am feeling much better and can do everything I did before with only low levels of anxiety."


"I was having a very hard time with the anxiety of thinking something was wrong with my heart (which turned out to be nothing), when I was put on Remeron.  I had virtually stopped eating, and just felt very anxious and not myself.  It helped a good bit with the anxiety, but it turbo charged my appetite.  Would not recommend this to anyone who is overweight, but it's great for anxiety sufferers who lose their appetite when they get anxious.  It does make you very sleepy the first week or so you take it, so I would take it before bed.  I didn't notice any sexual side effects though, which was another big selling point.  The sedation seems stronger at lower doses, and I had some bizarre dreams at lower doses as well."


"I have had Implanon since September 7, 2012 I haven't gotten my period since or spotting. I don't have any side effects at all, I love it and I haven't gotten pregnant. I was on the pill before this and  would always forget to drink it so this has made my life so much easier. no weight gain, no headaches, no side effects  I LOVE LOVE IT!!"


"I don't know about the efficacy of this vaccine but I had no issues with the shot itself. It stung maybe slightly more than a flu vaccine but not bad. I had no other side effects. I got it in my 20s. My son got the vaccine too and his experience was similar - no issues. It seems to be a well-researched vaccine with a good safety record and HPV is so common these days that I think it's a good idea."


"I was taking 30mg of temazepam. It's the only medication that has actually worked for my insomnia. But I can't have it for more than 2 weeks because I'm under 18."


"I started taking Cefdining for an upper respiratory infection and within 4 days I had the worse vaginal itching. I stopped using this medicine and my symptoms have calmed down.This medicine is horrible!"


"This was a game changing medication for me. I was diagnosed schizoaffective, later changed to bipolar 1. I was a zombie from the medication combination I used to be on, zyprexa and depakote. Changing the zyprexa to rexulti gave me my life back. At first, it gave me side effects of dizziness and anxiety, but after stopping and trying again, its given me energy, concentration, and the mood swings and psychosis stopped. I'm very happy with this medication. I just upped the dosage from 2mg to 3mg after being on it for a year and a half."


"I am looking forward to my second injection. The obsession of taking a drink has been diminished significantly. I am motivated and happy. I attend 12 step meetings and do everything suggested from the fellowship however, this medication has taken me to the next level in my sobriety.  It is merely a band aid to my disease and support is still extremely important. I recommend this medication to any chronic alcoholic who has a problem staying sober."


"I had not slept in over two years when I finally found Seroquel, my savior! I sleep so great but I have had to increase the amount I take ever so often. Taking 300mg now."


"I have been taking 300mg of Lamotrigine each day for about 3 years.  When I first took it, it made me feel sick and anxious and gave me headaches, but after following some simple advice from my psychiatrist I now DONT GET ANY SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL!!  He told me to increase the dose slowly (25mg per week) and to always eat when I take the tablets.  I've found this medication very effective as an antidepressant but not effective at controlling mania / hypomania.  Despite this, I still rate it very highly because it is so much more bearable than any other psychiatric medication that I've taken in the past."


"Ditto what jrpem stated above. Side effects proved to much TOO much for me."


"Blurred vision, medication did not help sinus issues."


"After years of pain I decided to get relief with "euflexxa" shots. Worst decision I ever made. I got my first shot on 11-4-15 and I have been sick with a fever-99.3 - 101.5 since then and it is now 12-6-15.  I went back to the doctor who gave me the 2 shots for the 3rd. shot on 11-18-15 & showed him the swelling in my neck, along with the constant fever, muscle spasms, with back, shoulder pain, headaches,joint pain, feel weak, & constant terrible neck pain, so I can't drive. The doctor said that I have had an adverse reaction to "euflexxa" as after the first 2 shots my fever spiked within 24 hours. He wouldn't give me the 3rd. shot & told me to apply ice on my neck swelling & allow the "euflexxa" to wear off. Horrible Nightmare-Never Again"


"I have been on Metoprolol for 20 yrs. I was diagnosed with High Blood pressure when I was 23 yrs old, started on 100mg now I'm on 25mg. I do experience anxiety a lot and tiredness, along with dizziness at times. The medicine does work,just hoping some day my kidneys will mend themselves so I can STOP taking this medicine."


"Starting feeling bad on Sunday went to my Dr. On Monday she said I had the flu so I started Tamiflu it seems to have helped me a lot and pretty quick I just have had a terrible headache for 2 days and diarrhea other than that its been great.. Just can't handle this headache"


"Some of the stomach pain went away but this medicine gave me blurred vision."


"I was reluctant to take Viagra because of some of the reviews regarding health problems after taking Viagra, but I tried it once. I took the Viagra at 5.30 pm. I felt nothing till 6.15 pm, At 6.15 pm, I felt some heat in my body, with slight fullness in my head. At 6.40 pm, I met my girl friend and I took her to room, I felt somewhat difference in body, I felt erection for long time (previously without Viagra, when I tried putting condom, I lost the erection), but now after taking Viagra, I can hold the erection after condom and can do good sex too. I did sex twice on that session. But one thing I have noticed is that time to ejaculate is same with and without taking Viagra, only difference I felt is that I can hold the erection."


"I have take Lialda for 3 weeks and not much improvement. My doctor increased my intake to 3 pills everyday and started me on prednisone. In my opinion prednisone will do most of the work. I do not plan on taking Lialda long term because of side effects of headache, cramping, bloating, etc. This pill does not work fast enough."


"I have had three Lucentis treatments at 3 to 4 week intervals and my eyesight has improved significantly. I have a slight discomfort for a couple of days after a treatment. My Doctor is also pleased with my results."


"I was on this medication for a few years and it worked wonders on my mood.  I can get moody very quickly and while taking this medication, mood swings were rare.  Unfortunately, I began suffering from body tremors and had to stop taking it.  My hands would shake uncontrollably and my head actually shook back and forth.  I didn't notice it but when I would talk to my sister, she would tell me that my head was rapidly shaking back and forth.  That is why I rated this a 9 instead of a 10."


"Only took the first round 3 wks of morning and night. I didn't know that was only step1!  Found out watching commercial its 3 months treatment.  I'm glad I quit. Chantix worked with no cravings,couldn't believe it."


"I took another type of microgestion Fe which worked great but when I switched to Blisovi Fe, I started to get horrible hives. I didn't think it could be the birthvcontrol since I had been taken it over a year, but the dermatologist said my hives looked like a drug reaction so I went off Blisovi and my hives went away. Blisovi has an inactive ingredient that can cause allergic reactions."


"My only problem is that of I ever miss my pill just by 1 day I automatically get a normal 4 day period the next day even if I take a double dose, and once again get my period every 16th of the month.

 "


"Drank extra water and drank the Suprep.  It took me almost an hour to get the mixture down as I was gagging from the taste! At first gulp I thought it wasn't so bad, but a third through I could not take the saltiness!  There was a little still left when I had to dash to the potty to start eliminating water.  I could not leave the toilet at all for an hour, but this part was easier than the drink! No cramps, no headaches, really not so bad. After 1.5 hours I was able to take a shower. Still have to urinate every 30 mins or so with minimal watery stool. Not sure how I will get the second dose down tomorrow, but so far besides the drink part, it's not that bad."


"Going on day 2 with this medicine. I was prescribe this because of excruciating pain in my thoracic spine. This has worked wonderfully!! Although I could not sleep at all last night I am pain free this morning :)"


"I had tried Orencia, which worked for three months and then quit. Next, I was on Rituximab, but after a year and a half, my rheumatologist and myself decided to switch, as it was not helping enough. My rheumatologist suggested Actemra and life has come back to me! I have only been on it a year and a half, but during this time, I have felt so much better. My C-reactive protein went from 38 to 1 and my SED rate has gone from 18 to 0.1.
Interestingly, the IL-6 protein was my culprit and Actemra targets that protein. With todays Vectra-DA blood test, studies are finding which biologic medications can work the best for you.
Rheumatologists are also finding the sooner they turn down your symptoms, the easier it is to control inflammation caused by autoimmune disease."


"The great thing about the pill is that my breast went up a full cup size which is wonderful. The bad part is that I got severe migraines about 2.5 weeks into the pack and I have never gotten one before. My cramps were so bad I felt like my insides were going to fall out and I never had serious problems like this. Lately I have been more emotional than usual, I don't act like myself at all I'm always angry, sad, or depressed. My sex life with my bf is completely trash now so guess that makes my increased cup size a waste. No positive or negative changes in Acne. Since I'm only just finishing the first pack I'm going to try and keep going and see if the side-effects subside."


"This medication is adequate compared to others in its class, despite it still causing significant side effects such as weight gain (which is very undesirable). At first, this medicine seemed very strong and made me 'zombie-like' (e.g. slow, unemotional, sleepy) but after a couple of days these were significantly improved. I was on a dose of up to 75mg, and as far as the effects of each individual dose; 25mg help with sleep and 'anger management', 50mg increased my hunger (a lot) and 75mg helped a little more with anxiety and emotional stability."


"This doesn't allow me to write very much so I can't share my whole story. I hate taking prescription drugs, but I gave Doryx a chance and it's been a God send. I developed acne in my late 20's, after being acne free since puberty. The cyst like acne would hurt badly and leave terrible marks. With Doryx, every zit on my problem areas were completely gone within 4 days and the red marks from past zits have already faded. I was concerned of side effects and I have had none whatsoever. I am supposed to take it everyday, but I only take it Monday-Friday. I once went 5 days without taking it and got a zit, but getting back on the pills cleared it right up. I pay $25 for a months supply, worth every penny."


"Suboxone nearly killed me. The first time it was ever prescribed to me, I placed one film under my tongue and within 3 minutes, I started getting a headache, feeling dizzy and then I started having difficulty breathing. I allowed the film to dissolve and placed the second film under my tongue, the symptoms described above seemed to get worse and I started noticing hives forming on my neck. Before I knew it, I was covered with hives and could not breathe, my partner gave me liquid Benadryl and rushed me to the doctor. I had to receive steroids and other medications and carried the hives for a few days. I am highly allergic to the Naloxone AND artificial sweeteners in the Suboxone and it's alternatives. Be careful with this medication!"


"Absolutely the worst medicine I have ever been on. I've been on antidepressants for years and they all suppressed my emotions. I was on trazodone for depression/chronic insomnia but unfortunately the medicine quit working for me so my doctor prescribed me amitriptyline 25mg and when I tell you every single horrible emotion was brought forward, I'm not even lying. Everyone around me noticed a difference and I felt trapped but was expressing externally. I had a psychotic break on this medication however I was not suocidal. If I had the power to take this medicine off the market, I'm sorry I would. The range of emotions I had was sadness to anger to agitation and it was on a repeat cycle and I couldn't control it no matter how much I wanted to"


"I did not know nor was I given any information on this injection.  About 1 month in I experienced hair loss in places.  Have a tingling around the lips. I felt very nauseous on and off out of the blue.  Am very tired and just cannot get rid of chest infection/cough which just seems to be on loop... I think it's clearing up then it hits again.  I will not get this injection again.  Nothing is conclusive about the cause of what I am experiencing."


"Helped control my tremors immediately. Tremors were so bad my whole body would shake and had bad muscle cramps. Seemed to lose a bit of its effectiveness after a few months but still way better than before. I'm on Levetiracetam as well for epilepsy which can be a roller coaster ride sometimes when it wears off."


"I recently just stopped taking Necon because of my terrible experience with it. I only took it for about 3 months but it made my periods very irregular, I would have spotting on and off two weeks before my period and it caused me to gain 10 pounds. I thought I was getting fat but had no change in my diet. I also have severe period cramps and this does not help with them at all. I do not recommend this product."


"I went on this for my intense period cramps. When I first started it, I immediately started spotting-which is a common side effect. However the flow was heavy, I had severe cramps that made me feel nauseous and I was SUPER moody. I was easily irritated which got me into a few heated arguments. However, I barely felt any cramps and flow was light. No sign of weight gain nor acne changes either. The next few months, it felt like I wasn’t even on the pill, since my period cramps returned, my face broke out with more pimples, my appetite grew, and I was bloated all the time. The spotting with cramps returned and when I contacted my doctor, she gave me the option to try it for one more month. But I had enough and I switched brands."


"As far as I'm concerned, Spironolactone is a miracle drug for female hair loss.  It ABSOLUTELY regrows hair in addition to preventing further hair loss.  I had a lot of hair loss around my crown from PCOS and after 6 months on spiro, my hair was growing back very thickly."


"Have had peripheral neuropathy and restless legs for over ten years. I take 100 mg of gabapentin before bed. It worked wonders for my RLS for many years, but I may soon need to increase the dose somewhat.  It has not had any apparent effect on my neuropathy."


"I'm 64 yrs old, 5'2" female with an A1C of 8.1 and an Average 3 month glucose of 185.  My morning sugars 160. Evenings from 170 to 290.  I'm on 2000 mg of Metformin a and 100mg of Januvia.
My new doctor suggested Victoza.  First week had 1 day of nausea, 4 days of loose stools and 1 day with a minor headache.  All was gone by day 6.
Have lost 10 pounds in 10 days Sugars now run in the 140's in the morning and 120's - 140's in the evening. Not as hungry. Have not specifically exercised but have tried to eat at least 2x a day and -0- after 8pm. Less thirsty too.  Now to get my thyroid levels back under control which I was just informed were off and need a higher dose (0.150mcg)  of Synthroid. But I'm THRILLED with this medicine after 10 days of use."


"I was given this medication after a series of painful surgeries.  I took 100 mg every 4-6 hours for pain.  This medicine did relieve all of my pain.  It made me a bit itchy.  The problem came when I tried to get off of it 3 days ago.  I'm having SEVERE anxiety, which I've never had before.  My doctor said its withdrawal symptoms.  I pray I get over this feeling soon. "


"Started on Norvasc about 1 wk ago and my bld pressure has gone from 180-200/100 to 120 /75, my heart rate has increased which is ok because I was on Bystolic for a short time and my heart rate dropped into the 40's. "


"I have been prescribed skelaxin for muscle spasms, but have only found it useful for menstral cramps."


"I only use Dulera once a day and only one puff, but I do this every single day usually just before I go to bed. On occasion I will need a second puff during the day after I wake up. I occasionally get the pain in the side and lower back but it does not last long. I have many of the side effects but I had them long before I started using Dulera. The pain is a new one though."


"I have been using this medication for approximately 35 years.  I have had two healthy children during this time.  I am now in my 50's and find that I am experiencing tiredness, fatigue, and incoordination to the extent that I stumble or run into people or things easier than before.  Whether this medication is a cause to my clumsiness or not, I am not sure.  It has helped to control my seizures since my last one in 1975."


"This medicine worked for the pain, but it caused minor itching."


"Used it at the onset of my eye infection ( bacterial conjunctivitis) and immediately it was gone. Works every time. Very effective drug"


"My father had passed away of taking pazopanib just for 3 months due to tumour rupture because of this tablet...please do not consume it.."


"I have been on the medication for 3 weeks now. Just started 3 pills per day. No problems at all. More energy and eating right. Not spending the day thinking about food. Have lost 9lbs and definitely inches. Only one day when I first started the medication did I have nausea. Sometimes headache in the afternoon. Drinking more water and Tylenol takes care of it. So far so good!"


"I am 42 yo and have had no energy or ambition for the last 5-6 years.  Had no clue that my testosterone may be low.  Had it checked and it was 125 so went to see a Urologist who did more labwork and in one week it dropped to 88.  Started me Androgel 5 daily and I cannot believe the difference it has already made.  I feel alive again.  I have my levels checked again tomorrow and I know they are higher.  Every man should have their T checked.  Low affects everything in your body."


"Have been on Avastin since December 2008 and have had very positive effects.  I am off chemotherapy for the first time in 2 1/2 years and have been in remission since the 1st of February.  I feel like a new woman and I have not had any side effects."


"Awesome birth control. It helped with my bloating, acne and mood swings. Also, I only get my period once every 3 months. This pill saved me a lot of trouble and I would recommend it to anyone."


"For me, Methylin has been so positive. In the competitive world that is SALES; Methylin has been a God send. It's helped me focus, stay focused and follow through on sales leads and potential. I just wish I'd discovered it 15 years ago. If you have ADD, Methylin should help you."


"I've been on this birth control for about 5 months now...And it sure is doing its job very well. But I do get huge headaches from time to time and feeling dizzy for about 2 months now. When I started to take this birth control everything was fine. But until now I'm thinking of trying another brand of birth control."


"Calms muscles enough to be able to work them, and therapy is essential."


"Switched to this from Abilify.  Abilify left me lethargic and I gained substantial weight.  Since switching, I fall asleep easier, have lost weight, and do not feel sleepy all day anymore."


"In terms of solving my hormone imbalance (I had low estrogen due to previous weight loss) this didn't jump start me, but it did make me feel a lot better. My mood increased, my libido increased, my non existent breasts actually fit into an A cup, less vaginal dryness. I was happy. Until my doctor thought it'd be best to up my dosage. It was probably the worst mistake ever. I have one more medication to try before she lets me back onto Lo Loestrin. I'm honestly praying the new medicine doesn't work because I've been miserable since stopping."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Read some negative about MoviPrep so was a little worried. However it turned out to be no problem for me. No matter what you take its not going to be fun. First container I drank the taste was okay but the second one it got a little worse. Used apple juice to chase it. Just drink as fast as one can and get it over with. Cleaned me out without a whole lot of discomfort. Works as advertised. Cost was high. All done, but the day before of all liquid diet is no fun no matter what prep you do. Would recommend it."


"I started taking Zoloft 50mg for 2 days now and really felt no change yet. My Doctor said it could take up to 6 weeks to get the full effect. Think I had an anxiety attack the other day at work. Blood pressure was up, nervous, sweating, throwing up.  "


"I started Victoza about 5 days ago. I don't have diabetes, but my endochronologist put me on it for weight loss. and I have already lost 6lbs! But my stomach has been killing me, and I have slight pain in the injection sight. But overall, it's been amazing! It also gives me energy."


"Celebrex is the ONLY medicine that signifcantly relieves my knee pain and allows me to walk in almost complete comfort. I take as needed, not everyday, per my doctor's recommendation, since I have high blood pressure (controlled with medicine) and high cholesterol, and have not taken it for longer than one month in a row without taking a significant break from the medicine afterward. However I will take 1 x 200 mg pill if I have a particularly active day ahead of me. I am 70 and have had no significant side effects."


"Great for pain relief."


"I have been using 0.5 mg for over a year and it has worked well for me. I have no side effects but am worried for effects that may surface in the long run. As with any medication the ultimate goal should be to be free of the need for it but in the absence of such possibility my aim is to keep a look out for medications with the least amount of interference in the natural abilities of my body/organs.
"


"I've had spring allergies as far back as I can remember.   I get severe sinus pressure, loose focus,  lose energy,  etc. The inflammation in my body makes my blood feel like it's on fire.  I get a Kenalog shot 1-2 times every spring and it has been more effective than anything I've every used in my life.  The world comes into focus and my body feels like it comes back to life throughout the course of the day that I get it.  Usually lasts 3-4 months for me and works wonders in my life."


"To be honest Lunesta has never worked for me.
"


"My experience has been mirrored by another recent poster; I got mine I  mid-November 2014. I had two very light periods and then mid-January 2015, I started a period that hasn't stopped for more than 18 hours. I've been spotting for more than three months straight!

I can still work out, I drink plenty of water and eat good food, and the cramps have only been bad once or twice (after a nap I was ok). I think staying hydrated and eating a diet rich in protein will help some of the symptoms others experience. I've lost about 15 lbs (neither hindered or helped by the device), been a little moody and had a very mild increase in acne."


"I took this for a while. Have not taken it in like 1 year, boy can I tell a difference. When I do take it I'm calm and can sleep good. Needless to say that the past year I've had major anxiety attacks, I'm going to ask my Dr to prescribe them again since it seems to calm me down."


"I have always had very mild asthma that would go into remission for years. Over the last year however, my asthma had worsened to the point where even stronger dose preventers didn't work effectively. I'd go to sleep clutching a Ventolin spray as I'd invariably have an asthma attack during the night. Every night. Often I would wheeze all day.

My asthma specialists suspected allergies were distabilising my asthma and added dymista to my preventer.

Within 24 hours I was a new person. I haven't used ventolin in 6 weeks nor had an asthma attack. On the downside the after taste is truly awful and lasts for hours and there is some minor taste sensation alteration but this is a small price to pay for breathing properly."


"I have been using oxy for over a year and half daily for the last 3 months. I knew I needed help to get off of these drugs, and so I went to seek help from a doctor. He prescribed me zubsolv ... and after 15 hours of being in withdrawal I took my first dose and went hard into precipitated withdrawal. The doctor was sure that enough time had passed using the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS method), but maybe I have a slow metabolism?!? It was terrible for the first 24 hours. However I am now finishing up my second day on the medication taking two pills a day and my withdrawal symptoms are gone. I still feel very achey in my joints and just have been lying in bed but this medication has really given me hope that I can stay strong and off of using. Give it a chance!"


"65 year old male. Started having panic attacks mid-July. Sense of doom, cardiophobia, fluttering in chest, loss of appetite. My internist diagnosed panic attacks and started me on Sertraline @ 25 mg./ day for one week, then up to 50 mg/day. I had some mild nausea and diminished libido for a few weeks, so doctor reduced dosage to 25 mg. where its been for 3 months. After the first 10 days or so of starting this medication anxiety and panic attacks became history. I feel like I got my life back. This drug worked wonders for me and I am thankful that my doctor recognized the problem and prescribed the correct treatment."


"It's effective when used correctly. During the first two months I experienced headaches and slight hair loss around my hairline. I used to go around 40 days between periods and they lasted 8 or 9 days. I now have "normal" or predictable periods. My breasts are always tender during the third week, but I've grown at least a cup size, so I'm OK with that. Most importantly, I'm not pregnant."


"I have been taking Portia for 7 months now. Everything was fine the first 6 months and than all of a sudden I got really bad acne. I have also noticed I have crazy mood swings and so has my boyfriend. I am going to switch ."


"Over the past weekend my boyfriend and I had a 'uh oh' accident. About 5 hours later I went to walgreens and got plan B (which I found out is no longer over the counter). It works great!  It's a little expensive but it beats having a baby in my belly! I'm so glad this product exist. If your afraid to take it, don't be! As long as you take it within 72 hours you'll be fine. But the sooner you take it the better."


"I'm on my third day of metoprolol and feel very mellow.  My heart feels quiet in the way you feel when you finally hit the pavement after a dirt road.  I feel nervous having my natural rhythm manipulated but when it comes to the heart, I'll just do what they say.  Had an attack of pericarditis 3 weeks ago and then Atrial fibrillation two days ago.  I was told that this was normal after pericarditis.  Metoprolol is recommended while heart recovers.  "


"Started Saxenda in May 2016, it's May 31st, 2016 and I'm down 24lbs.  I have had a lot of nausea and fatigue.  I'm staying on the 2.4 dose, it's working for me.  I'm so excited to not be hungry all the time and to actually be seeing results.  :)"


"24 year old female. Had this implant for the past half year. Initially thought this was going to be a perfect birth control - it's not a pill so I never forget having to routinely take medicine and it's invisible. You never have to think about it so the sex is spontaneous and worry free. I've had no emotional problems with it, but I started to notice over time my clothes were getting tighter even with no drastic changes in my diet or exercise. Not having a weighing scale at home, I never knew that I had gained 30 pounds on Nexplanon, then another 13 when I had checked again. I went from a steady 132 to a 175 the entire time I've had it in me. If it weren't for the weight gain I would stick with it but I'm getting it out tomorrow."


"OH MY GOSH. I'm 17 and I had implanon since June 18 and I've been on my period ever since. I get these crazy headaches and HOLY SHIIT I have never had acne before and now I have it and it's bad. I have so many zits my face it hurts. It's terrible I don't want to go anywhere or see anyone with my face looking like a crunch bar. I've gone through so many packs of tampons luckily I just bought this feminine cup called the diva cup where you put it in twice a day and clean it and it last for years I highly recommend it. Instead of putting tampons in which Is made from non organic cotton which is the reason why a lot of people get infections and cancer down there. LADIES KNOW WHATS INSIDE YOUR PRODUCTS. Good luck."


"I've been on it for over 2 months now and I still haven't seen any improvement in my acne, if anything it has been getting progressively worse :(. Can everyone write how long it has taken for yasmin to have an effect because I'm losing hope."


"This medicine gets rid of my back pain from spondylosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Pain relief within 15 minutes."


"I've been on it for 5 months now...during the 3rd month, I started bleeding (at first I thought it was spotting, but it lasts for like 2 weeks). No acne, no itchiness, some slight mood swings but I've gained weight and my sex drive is gooone.I was on beyaz before but switched because my new insurance company didn't cover beyaz. It's nice not having to remember  to take a pill, but I'm calling my Doctor to recommend something else."


"I was prescribed this in 2013. I took as needed for my terrible anxiety attacks and was able to completely stop after I got pregnant in 2014. I had my baby & got another script because I am experimenting some post partum depression. I also take celexa 20 mg. the klonapin is .5 twice a day. I usually only take one and break it in half (.25) and use it for my situational anxiety. These pills are very easy to get addicted to and you can build a tolerance so please take with precaution. That being said, I would recommend for anyone with bad anxiety disorders. They kick in after about 15 minutes. I refer to them as my little miracle pills. God bless."


"Started this medication 4 months ago as trial/alternative to hysterectomy. Thus far, I have experienced bleeding more than not. (Great way to spend summer!) The abdominal pain & never knowing when you will start to bleed out is awful!! Can't wait to meet with doctor next month & get OFF of this drug :("


"Two days ago I started feeling the YI coming on. Since I had one before there was no way I was going to wait as long as I had last time. I decided to try monistat-1 because I am insurance less at the moment and figured it would be cheaper. 10 to 15 minutes after inserting the egg I was in heaven. I actually took it in the evening around 6pm and stayed in bed reading all night. When I finally went to sleep, and woke up about 7am, it was like I never took the meds at all. Applied a little of the cream it came with and I'm back to a dull roar. I definitely feel better, but I am hoping that the itching stops completely by work time tomorrow. I never experienced pain or itching so bad it brought me to tears after taking it thankfully."


"It works great at first then you have to keep increasing the amount every two weeks. By about a week into each increase I feel like its not working and I feel mania coming on. I always know because I start biting my fingernail. I'm about two months into and really think I should find something stronger. Or combine it with something else. You are not supposed to drink alcohol but that is he only way I have found to even out it not being strong enough for me. I you are taking it, and it is working for you, that is great!"


"I'm 34 ...5' 4".  I had jitters, nausea, severe constipation, and trouble concentrating. This was going on through the first month. Starting the second month of Contrave,  I have NO side effects. "


"I did Monistat 3 day, but symptoms had not gone completely away by the 4th evening. So I thought, hey, I'll just pick up a 7 day treatment and try that for a few more days.

 Almost immediately after inserting the cream, the burning began! So bad I couldn't even think. 30 minutes later i'm still lying on the couch with a freezer pack between my legs. This is horrible. I've had YI's before but never have I ever had a reaction like this. I used to think hell would be like one eternal yeast infection. Now I think it would be more like one eternal dose of Monistat 7."


"I've been living with IBS-D for 10+ years and symptoms got much , much worse within the last several years. I had my gall bladder removed and tested positive for many food sensitivities.  I thought I would just have to live with this the rest of my life. My Dr recently prescribed this drug and started taking it a month ago. I take it with food in the morning and with food at night mixed in a glass of water and it doesn't taste bad, it's like Tang.  The results are miraculous!!!  I have normal BMs, and have started eating foods I previously avoided and I've been fine!! It's still shocking to me that this works so well.  I only wish I would've known about it sooner."


"Previous user of Adipex (phentermine), which would work great for the first few weeks, but then totally wear off, not to mention the side effects (insomnia, heart palpitations, constipation, anxiety) were annoying to deal with. Switched to Bontril and am so happy I did. I feel calm and focused. It's the oddest thing to not have to "stress" over counting calories and choosing good food options. It just sort of is a perk with Bontril. One tip: drink lots of water. Bontril, water and clean eating dropped 8.7 pounds off me in a week. One of the best parts is going to bed and being able to sleep, which was hard with Adipex."


"Been taking 200mg for 4 years and also 2mg clonazepam.  Only problem was when I first started I would sleep walk.  One time I was downstairs taking down the blinds in the family room till my wife woke me up.  No problems anymore."


"The condom broke on Saturday night and we didn't realize it until much later that night. I was completely freaking out so I made him go buy me the Plan B pill. I took the pill around 13 hours after sex. I don't think I've ever been that scared in my entire life. (Way too young to have a child) After taking this pill, I got sharp stomach pains. And 3 hours after I took it I experienced sore breasts that were so sore that I couldn't ever wear a t-shirt. This pain lasted for 3-4 days. The days went on and my period tracker (if you don't have one I suggest you download one) indicated that I was 3 days late for my period. I finally got it and I've never been so happy! So glad I took this pill. I recommend this pill."


"I requested my MD to prescribe me the patch for lower T4 pain last week. Started taking it on Wednesday and today is Sunday same week. I'm now 80% better and changing the patch every 12 hours as prescribed to me. The first day (for whatever reason), I got a surge of energy when I first put on the patch. The pain subsided to about a level 3 from a level 6 after wearing it for just a few short hours.

Do not stop wearing the patch as the pain will come back quickly. I did have to supplement the pain with additional meds after I did some light home repairs (despite the the warnings) and this kept the pain level down."


"The doctor's office suggested adding lemon juice to cut the flavor but I was afraid to use too much. I added some ice after the first sip. I don't know how fast you're supposed to drink it, I went slow because I didn't want to vomit. Anyway, 25 minutes after first sip it was flowing. Couldn't think about getting off the toilet absolutely no control. After about 2.5 hours I could venture out and dash back. The morning one I used a lot more lemon juice and ice with the water and it was much more tolerable. Been on the perch for an hour so far. Wonder if I'll make it to the procedure with soiling myself. I have a super bad headache last night and today and I am freezing."


"I had ruptured disks in my spine due to an ongoing issue I was having.  I cannot take morphine because it does not react well with me. My doctor gave me 100 mg. 2X a day and for once in my life I didn't want to die anymore because I was in so much pain. I had tried everything Tylenol  to oxycontin.  Nothing even touched it. So I was very pleased and relieved when I found something that worked.  And I can even move around with less pain."


"I am on a lot of medication, but thanks to the previous comment, it may be the Pristiq that is causing my constant hot flashes!"


"At first I did not like it at all - I started off on 50mg (recommended) and found it wasn't working. I also was super spaced out, unfocused and constantly feeling like my brain was going but my body wasn't (It was WEIRD). This went on for about a week, then it worked perfectly and I was completely normal. However the migraines started coming back so I am now on 100mg a day and the same thing happened when I upped the dosage. It's working now though! I didn't notice any difference in tasting things but I did get tingles in my fingers and toes! Otherwise all round amazing medicine!!"


"Doc prescribed this for me but I didn't think it would help, since my main symptoms of shortness of breath and chest tightness and rarely heartburn. Left it in the cabinet for months until recurring stomach pains landed me in the ER. All blood tests, urine tests, and ultrasounds came back normal and once again my doc suggested the Prilosec. Finally caved. I kid you not, within the first day my stomach pains disappeared. I had the best nights sleep the first few days that I could remember, realizing it was actually heartburn waking me up (I contributed my early wakings to anxiety or poor sleep habits). Absolutely no side effects. I can eat whatever I want. I feel like a new person after one week. Hoping this lasts once my 14 days are up!"


"I thought I was pregnant, I was nauseous, throwing up, extremely exhausted, dizzy, and hot flashes. I am not saying everyone will react this way I just know I feel horrible I tried it for the 28 days tomorrow I am going to get a different kind."


"I started using another weight loss medicine on March 24th.  The first 60 days I lost 22 lbs.  During the third month I was not seeing any changes and switched to Adipex-P. I used Adipex for 45 days and have lost an additional 10-12 pounds. I did not experience any of the side effects or jitters except sleeping.  I tend to only get 6 hours of sleep a night."


"I received a sample of this from my ortho hand surgeon. He said it should help while I wait for my EMG test. He wasn't lying. I have several trigger points and my right side is painful and numb due to compression from my neck and what he suspects, compression of carpal tunnel radial nerve, ulnar nerve, etc. basically everything is compressed. This patch worked wonders. Very disappointed to learn its not covered by insurance"


"great birth control device definitely protects from pregnancy! Considering the continuous  bleeding "


"I have been taking Provigil 3 x 200mg tabs in the morning. It works but not great. I would be sitting at my desk and do "head bobs".  This is not acceptable to me.   My doctor suggested I try Nuvigil.  I started taking it last week.  I took one 250mg in the morning.   It is a sleeping pill to me.  This week has been the longest week for me.  I am fighting to stay away at work. I am interested to see if other have this same reaction to Nuvigil."


"I've been on this pill now (10mg) for 3 weeks. My anxiety has reached an all time high and I'm hardly able to get to work and function. Wake up every morning sick in the stomach.

Not sure if its normal and gets better or if its just not for me.............."


"Ive been on it for about 3 years. Has worked well and no problems. I was on a triphasic for a year and it made my migraines horrible the monophasic pill has helped. An interesting side effect is I do not continuously take the pills, i just take it normally. After a few months my periods completely disappeared. I freaked out thinking i was pregnant and took a test, it was negative and told my doctor and had a blood test ran and found no pregnancy or other problems. He said it was a side effect that my periods would just go away. It's great but still weird to me, I've only had spotting for 2 days in the last 3 years. Save money on tampons though! I also noted that your sex drive does go down, never had any problems with dryness though."


"I have been addicted to morphine since I was 16. I am 31 now, three years ago I got on Suboxone and never used again. This is a miracle. "


"Amazing product!! Finally an alternative to needles!! Very convenient to use and it works! I don't understand the negative 1 star reviews. Please try it and judge it for yourself."


"I have bipolar 2, generalized anxiety disorder and suffer panic attacks. I am given Valium 5mg to take 'when needed'. While I feel it works well on generalized (mild to moderate) anxiety, it's not the most effective medication to take to during acute episodes like in a panic attack. I feel the 5mg isn't enough. Also if you take it even every few days, it pretty quickly becomes less effective meaning you may have to increase the dose. I now take 10mg as needed. It's very helpful, and I find it to be very effective, but perhaps not strong enough during acute panic attacks, but in general this medication is a blessing."


"Actemra is the best medicine! I was diagnosed with polyarticular JIA when I was 13 years old. Now I am 19 years old. I tried many medicines: methotrexate, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, enbrel, remicade. And my arthritis was always active... But after my first Actemra infusion I felt the difference. Now I get these infusions since May. And I don't feel any pain, stiffness or swelling. I remember that I have arthritis not because my joints hurt but just because I need to go to the hospital for IV infusions. Now I feel like a healthy person! And I feel like that just because Actemra! Oh, and I also want to say that I don't have any side effects!

P.s. sorry, I can write with some mistakes because english is not my first language, I'm from Europe."


"59 yr old female 5'6 195lbs. Been taking Qsymia for 10 weeks down 26 lbs. Feel fantastic! Minimal side effects. Kicked a long standing diet coke habit due to the metallic taste. Making healthy choices and very satisfying to work at weight loss and see progress. This has been a wonderful experience!"


"I always had pretty great skin until now, and although I wasn't appreciative at the time, I would give anything to have it back. A few months ago I started breaking out on my cheeks very badly and it has been constantly bad since. My doctor prescribed me a topical cream that has done nothing. Now for the past few weeks my forehead has been breaking out horribly which has never happened before. I've been on doxy for a week now (100mg twice a day) and I have seen no improvement. Granted I have only been on it for a week, but it definitely does not seem like a miracle drug. I am trying to stay hopeful though!"


"I have allergies along with daily vertigo.  Not only did this extremely helpful with the allergies, it virtually eliminated my daily vertigo.  My ENT recommended this for my vertigo mainly.  I have noticed others complain about sleepiness.  I only use this at night."


"I used to use tons of OTC nasal sprays to then point of addiction really. I had to stop, but both nostrils would clog completely shut without it, I have also severe nasal allergic reaction and swollen air passages/asthma. My Dr gives me Flonase by Rx. Within a couple weeks my nose cleared, both nostrils stopped swelling, no more nasal allergy and this has been a miracle med for me! I never needed Afrin or anything again. My sense of smell is still low, but I can smell now!"

"I started taking Seasonique a month ago.  My doctor told me to take it on the first day of my period.  I've been bleeding ever since, although it's not heavy, I still need to wear a pad everyday.  I'm going to stop in the middle of the pack because I can't take this bleeding anymore. My sex drive is non existence right now.  I took Seasonique last summer and absolutely loved it!  Had no problem at all.  "


"Metamucil works if you use it everyday. I just can't stand the taste of it."


"My experience was very smooth and easy to adjust to. I have been smoke free for two years now and am very thankful that Chantix has changed my life forever."


"I was given 10mg of citalopram by my gp last year but still haven't tried it.  I know its stupid because I have suffered from anxiety and stress for 30 yrs  I lost my husband in October  last year on my birthday. I live alone and worry about everything.  Because I don't cope very well with tablets I am really scared of bad side effects and no one here to help me . I know there is only me who can decide what to do but why these meds have such side effects baffles because thats the very thing you are taking them for. I am British and found this website ."


"Took 5 mg on a Friday, it put me to sleep for 12 hours. Took another 5 mg the next day and my chest seized up and my left arm lost sensation. I then started having heart arrhythmia every minute to the point where my entire left side of my chest hurt. I had no energy for the entire weekend. I felt depressed and miserable and in pain. I tried one more time Sunday night before bed and it woke me up from a dead sleep with chest pain and arrhythmia.  I still have chest pain and arrhythmia and I've been off of it for 1 week. My energy levels are still low and I get out of breath easily. I have never had any problems cardio wise in the past."


"Invokana 100 mg daily  in addition to Metformin took my blood sugar levels way down..never over 150s range. . lost weight without trying. .main side effect was constant urination. .about every hour..great med  other than that"


"I was on this medication for five months with initial astounding results. My dosage was 125 grams. My daily headaches ceased as did my migraines. However, at around the four month mark, both came back to haunt me with a vengeance, seemingly doubling pain and severity. I also began experiencing tingling in my hands and numbness in my face, a totally unpleasant and unforeseen side effect that I only discovered by exploring online forums reviewing the medication. Additionally, this medication severely affected my anxiety and also led me to have extreme suicidal ideation, so much so that I had to stop altogether. I lost 15% of my total body weight whilst on this medication. If possible, avoid if you have a history of anxiety or depression."


"I had withdrawals before...I had no idea this medicine existed! My new Dr. Who happens to be my PC prescribed this to me when I had been gradually dosing down for about a year from Suboxone. It doesn't stop all withdrawal symptoms but no sweats, hot/cold flashes, helps psychologically and is safe to use with anxiety meds, Xanax/Valium etc. I'm headed in to day 3 and had a little trouble sleeping through the night - but I did get sleep and am able to go about my mandatory daily tasks without crawling out of my skin and suffering from "the ick" for the most part. I'm psyched to reach the end of the tunnel - I have been pretty hard on myself during this experience. I 100% recommend asking your doctor for it! Good luck out there."


"I've been on it for about 2 weeks and I feel zero side effects. I'm in my mid thirties and have had horrible PMDD depression for 20 freaking years! I started lybrel so I can stop my period for a while and have a break from those dark days. I was so worried lybrel would cause mood problems and I'm so relieved it has not. I give it an 8 rather than 10 because it's only been a couple of weeks. There's still time for things to go south but so far I'm so glad I started this! Only wish I'd done it sooner."


"I hurt my shoulder in a fall two years ago, and have not been able to recover full use of my arm, even with treatment and physical therapy.  Pain woke me up at night and my arm would go numb at times.  My Dr. gave me Motrin 800mg to take 2x a day, but it only helped about 50%, and I started to get side effects from the Motrin.  One month ago, I went to a new Dr. and they gave me Meloxicam to try and within 2 days, I felt so much better, I couldn't believe it.  Not only did it help my shoulder pain, it took away my other aches and pains.  Now I don't even think about it.  I just take my one pill a day and I feel normal and can do whatever I want!  Exercise included.  Amazing.  No negative side effects so far.  I LOVE it!"


"I was on the depo for 1 n a half years, got off in Feburary. started my period march. It's now June 4 and still bleeding! I hate this b.c!"


"Got shingles on my scalp and face, was treated with Valtrex, Neurontin,and pain medicine. I have repeatedly had bouts of shingles for the last 15 months, resulting in PHN. I now take Lyrica, 1 at 8 am, 1 at 3pm and 3 at bedtime. This dose was gradually increased over time. Although very fatigued I am 50% better and am able to function better. The initial drowsiness subsided after a couple of months. Do still have a bit of brain fog, not sure if it's the Lyrica or lack of sleep."


"I believe if used right this medicine is great for people who cannot take morphine."


"The pain management Dr prescribed  morphine sulfate ( due to cost) rather than OxyContin . It was horrible. I felt loopy and sick with pain in my side . So a different Dr switched me to Exalgo SR .. What a relief! Ian finally thinking clearer . I take dilaudid for breakthrough pain and between the two , I am functioning much better. I think it is much better than OxyContin as well , because OxyContin always made me feel flushed and a bit dopey in a different kind of way. ( not as bad as morphine though) I am so glad I am getting pain relief without feel sick and doped up . I think Exalgo is a perfect match for me ."


"I took this pill for a year and a half before I decided enough was enough. It cleared my face up, and I did not experience tremendous weight gain but I lost my sex drive and became extremely moody and depressed. I was crying over everything, I was always irritated and angry at my boyfriend, and on top of that I never wanted him to touch me. I stopped taking the pill about three weeks ago and I cannot begin to explain the difference that I already feel. I finally feel like my bubbly, love-able self again and it feels great."


"At one point during the 5 months that I was taking these pills, I came across tightness of my chest which gave me difficulty breathing and I felt as though I was suffocating. I never had acne, once I quit the pills, I suffered, and am still suffering, from severe acne. I refuse to go back on the pill, but I also don't know what to do about this acne problem now. I stopped taking the pills in January and have had bad acne since. No problems breathing, though."


"I just started taking TriNessa (I'm on my fourth pill). I'm 21 years old and it's my first time ever taking a birth control pill. So far, I love it! The first couple of days, I experienced a tiny headache. Nothing horrible. I barely even noticed it. I really don't feel any different. So far so good!"


"Having taken Mirapex for 15 years, about 6 months ago it stopped working.  I couldn't figure it all out, but decided to try adjusting my other meds.  Then, I realized that I started taking anti-acids about  6 months ago.  Sure enough, the antacid med was causing my problem.  I started taking it at another time of the day, and the problem went away.  Go on the internet and ask the question " do antacids interfere with Mirapex."  You will get your answer"


"It usually works in between 3hours. I'll recommended."


"I have been taking Simponi Injections for over a year now. It works better than Humira. I also take Methotrexate which has my hair coming out. I was taking 4pills every week, now I'm taking 3 pills every week. I'm 39 years old and my hair is coming out even when I just have it braided. I love the Simponi. I know when it's time to take it again though."


"It gave me profuse sweating, minimal weight gain. I had nausea, elevated liver enzymes and elevated cholesterol during the 8 week course for acute disease."


"I have been taking Ocella for about 3 years now, I didn't have any issues when I first started. My periods are only 3 days long, and I lost a lot of weight when I went on Ocella. I have developed anxiety but I never had it this bad and mood swings I have gotten too I can get very depressed and emotional about things and that has never been like me at all. I'm thinking about switching to something different to help lower my anxiety and mood swings, its the only birth control I have taken and my doctor was recommending something with a lower hormone count. Otherwise its been a good birth control for me."


"I hope this is helpful for those that are taking this medication. I am on day 6 now and I'm feeling better. But the first 3 days my stomach was burning. Make sure you take  a probiotic  2 hours before or after taking this medication. The reason for the stomach burn is that the good bacteria is being destroyed by the METRONIZOLE? so the probiotic replaces the good bacteria that has been lost. Also I take 3 pepto bismol  chewable tablets 1 hour before I take the medication - it really helps out so much. I take this medication twice a day and I take 6 peptobismol in total all day good luck."


"My 9yr old daughter was on the Daytrana 10mg patch the last half of the school year. The daytrana patch did eliminate the spacing out, and she did excell in her classes the last quarter of the school year. She brought her D's and U's up to C's and B's.

I took her off the medication over the summer and now she's been back on the same 10mg Daytrana patch for 4 days. She has barely been able to eat anything. She cries because of the constant stomach pain. She's been complaining that her vision is getting blurry (which is listed as a known side effect) she has also been throwing up about once a day. I'm currently trying to work with the specialist to see if this will even out or if I should pull her off the patch ASAP."


"Ok almost 3 months into taking Nora Be and I'm back with an update... So I had break through bleeding first 2 months but slowly went away. You have to make sure to take pill exact same time every day.

I've lost weight, typically looking at BC makes me gain weight.

All the pain and bleeding I had for years with endo is gone. I haven't been taking week 4 pills and jumping to a new pack but I just read somewhere that pop don't have placebo pill so the 4th week is also hormone? I'm not 100% on that yet.

Ok back to side effects... No more acne, bug skin feels dry. I'm dry everywhere unfortunately.  Small price to pay for pain free, cyst free existence. No headaches, no nausea, no more break through bleeding.

Will update in anklet month..."


"I took 1 yesterday approx 11am (I work nights).  It's 18:22 now & I'm still exhausted. Slept all day, night and today. I also had nightmares! HORRIBLE!! I'll NEVER take this again."


"After a chainsaw accident in 2001. Where I ran the saw under my knee cap down into the joint. I was left with a permanent limp. Which in turn went into my back. I have tried all kinds of pain medicines. Kadian, Percocet, Hydro's you name it. The doctor put me on 120 Avinza. After finding the right dose. I can finally live with what pain I have. I love this medication."


"I've had bad skin since 4th grade, I never did anything about it I would just wear makeup and coverup, last year in grade 9 I went on the pill for my skin, it completely cleared the acne on my back and chest but my face was still bad. I eventually got put on differin gel, and within the first week my skin was clear for the first time! But I began getting a red rash on my face and my skin was peeling and very sensitive to anything else I put on there, even my makeup. I've now been using it for about 4 months, to anyone who is looking to go on differin gel I highly recommend it, but do not judge your skin within the first few weeks because your skin will be getting used to it. I now have completely clear skin and am very happy."


"GP recommended effexor when 7 months ago when I was going through some extremely stressful life events. The seroxat I was on for GAD for the previous 17 years was no longer effective & now I had become depressed. Effexor 37.5mg worked well at first, was upped to 70mg.  Benefits: Immediately made me feel less depressed (hooray - no more tears), No panic attacks at all, Able to sleep all night. Costs: Felt like a zombie, Lost my spark, Didn't feel present when talking to people (the lights were on but no-one was in), Not bothered about anything including if I upset someone; More aggressive verbally (usually very placid person), Withdrawn (usually very social person). Withdrawal if missed dose was torture.

Currently tapering off it."


"I am 22 and have been taking prozac for almost two months now. Before I started taking it, my life was a wreck. There were only two weeks out of every month when I felt semi-normal/happy. The rest of the time, I was miserable. I would lay in my bed and cry, thinking my life was ending for no reason. There was nothing bad happening in my life, but my mind would make me think everyone hated me and that I was disgusting. I was overemotional all the time and constantly to torturing myself with sad thoughts.

I put off going to see a psychiatrist for so long because of the stigma. I regret it so much. Had I gone on this medication sooner, so many of my relationships could have been saved and I could have been truly enjoying my life."


"I originally took the pill, but the mood swings were too intense for me. I have not experienced any mood swings on the patch. I really like the patch because it cleared up my moderate teenage hormonal acne.  I also like that I just have to change it once a week around the same time, and then I can forget about it. In addition, it has been my only form of birth control as long as I've been on it (other than pulling out) and having sex regularly, I have not gotten pregnant.

However, it does leave my skin irritated and dry, and it can be very itchy. I prefer to put it on my back, which makes it hard to wear tank tops or other shirts that expose my back without having people ask about it.

Overall I think more people should look into the patch"


"Started prep yesterday at 5:30 pm, drank 32oz of water and almost immediately the flood gates opened. It was violent and nonstop. Was pretty much stuck to toilet for three hours and then off and on for another hour or so. Was able to sleep until 5:30 am but had to run to bathroom and it exploded again. Started second prep and could only get about half down and couldn't do anymore without gagging and spitting out. I have cramping and exploding stools again. I hope the drug companies bring back the pill my mom took years ago. I won't do this again."


"It's a very useful drug as it it not only control blood pressure but also gives other long term benefits to the patients."


"I just wanted to say that I had a lot of these negative symptoms when I was in the generic "Buproprion" (headaches, vivid nightmares) but after switching to the "name brand only" I no longer had those horrible side effects..  It's hard to tell in these reviews which people are taking the generic version ( which was horrific) and who is reviewing the actual Wellbutin SR.  The name brand worked so much better!!!"


"Cancer returned (metastasized) in abdomen Sept 2011. I ended up in hospital, first parenthesis withdrew 10 liters of abdominal fluid. Given 5 months maximum to live. It is now April 2012. Zelboraf has extended and saved my life.
I've been told by specialist in Denver (university of Colorado hospital) that in Europe 42 month life extension has been documented at present time. By dosing with 2 x 240mg pills twice a day! I'd be dead if not for Zelboraf! "


"I have been on it so a for over six years. I am 44 years old and suffer from chronic migraines, degenerative disk disease, fybromyalgia,and more. I get tight muscle knots in my neck muscles that cause me terrible pain, causing headaches and stiffness. Soma has been a miraculous medication, allowing me to function better and live a more productive life. I have tried other muscle relaxers but like Soma the best because I do not get tired from it. It has been a blessing."


"Having lost a quarter shape size of cartilage in my right knee, so bone on bone in that one and in the left knee advanced osteo which hurts more than the right, I know about pain. Synvisc is the best! I take 3 shots over 3 weeks ( 2ml per injection) and it lasts anywhere from 3-5 months. The lasting relief is that I don't get pain from walking or sudden nerve pains in the duration. everyone is different but I just get the shots done, no numbing..that's just silly cuz it's only a needle for God's sake. Yes, I sometimes get swelling after shots but reading some claims about "ruining my life" and "pain" is really foreign to me. I really like Synvisc, it greatly improves my quality of life. My advise is to "suck it up buttercup" get the shots."


"I have no sex drive and have been bleeding for about 3 weeks!! I'm going crazy!! I've only had it for about a month and a half."


"I used the spray. It was very convienent, kept scales at a minimal level, helps with itching and burning of psoriasis. It did not get rid of the red patches. This medicine is a great management drug, but will not put you into remission."


"I've been on Flecainide for about 3 months. Before, I was having Afib everyday, usually at night for over a year. And even after taking other medications prior to Flecainide , it would take several hours before the Afib would go away. It was a terrible existence. Since taking Flecainide, I have had NO Afib. This to me has been remarkable.  The side effects for me are mainly tiredness for a couple of hours after taking it. It might give me constipation but I really think that diet plays a greater role. Eating more fiber and veggies, and less meat is better for me. I have been taking Flecainide once in the early afternoon and then once usually an hour before bedtime, each time with 100 mg. I wonder if I can stop taking it in the future?"


"I've been on Complera over a year now which at over $6000 a month equates to $72,000. There are some rage issues related to the medicine, as well as some insomnia issues and general mental health issues.  My labs are great which is an upside. I'm an LTS of this disease having dealt with HIV into AIDS for 20 years now and been on about every HIV med in existence -- I come with a wealth of life experience."


"I will give this medicine a higher rating perhaps when I finish the treatment. At this point (day 5 in the first round), I have muscle pain, lethargy and a dull headache. I feel like I have a mild virus. I have eruptions - red, itchy bumps - but that doesn't bother me as it means the medicines is working and that's exactly what I want. It will be worth it to be rid of precancerous cells on my forehead and hands. But there are some side effects and they seem to vary person to person. For me they are manageable."


"Hi I am a 35 yo with one child and a tubal ligation.  I have had the Mirena almost two years. I have it in place due to bleeding cause from my fibroids. I was bleeding 20 days a month. Initially I was grateful to have a normal cycle. As time progresses I have started spotting for 5 day then bleeding heavy with cramping. I have a foul odor and back pain keep getting Antibiotics and it goes away while taking them then comes back a few days later. I have been very uncomfortable, acne, bloating, and Moody. I don't like it and it has to go. It does not effect women the same but consider alternative options before choosing this one."


"I've had Implanon since November 2009 and at first I had irregular spotting for up to 3 weeks at a time but it gradually lessened. I forgot I had it over summer, only had light spotting for a few days after traveling in September. Other than that it works great for me; I'm going to hate giving it up when I return home after I graduate next year."


"I have had a severe tooth abscess which I fought on and off for a few years. Last time I had it, it gave me  the most severe pain I have ever experienced in my life! Half of my face was swollen, I couldn't eat or sleep. I would stay up all night crying due to the extreme pain. I was prescribed amoxicillin and ibuprofen. Took them for more than a week but they didn't seem to do much, and the swelling was getting worse. Then the dentist prescribed me metrodinazole along with the antibiotics I was already taking and it changed my life! The pain was completely  gone within less than 24h and the swelling went down within the first 3 days! I have personally not experienced any side effects and would take this medication again if needed."


"I been on contrave for 1week and 2 days . I already lost 10 lbs I'm so excited. It curbs my appetite. I had no side effect ."


"I had a lung infection (emphysema and an abscess) and I had always had very low weight. I have had appetite problems all my life. During my illness I was down to 104 lbs, after taking megestrol I am now up to 154lbs and am doing fine. I credit megestrol with saving my life. I still take 20mg everyday to keep my appetite going. What a great medicine."


"I have been taking 2mg of Abilify for a week and I am a different person. I am alive again."


"I have been using Mobic every other day for a week now, and my pain is almost diminished.

My fingers don't hurt as bad, and I can make a full fist without hurting.  The pain in my upper legs is gone, and I can move once again like I am 30.  I am 63!  The side effects worry me some, so that is why I do not take it every day."


"I have been taking hysingla 40 ER approximately 2 weeks. I am experiencing severe headache, nausea,  and the pain has not subsided one bit. I have tried taking this medicine different times of day hoping it was just the time frame. I have severe withdraw symptoms and can not function. I'm very close to losing my job. I was not abusing my norco, why am I being punished for drug addicts??!!!"


"I've been on it for about a week now. Weight loss isn't significant, but it is there, and again it's only been a week. Definitely has curbed my appetite; there are some days I have to force myself to eat actually. Just physically emotionally uninterested in food. My side effects have been moodiness, irritability and anxiety, but those seemed to have passed after a few days. I feel a little loopy when I first take it, but if I eat a slice of cheese or scrambled egg with it that seems to help. Going to stick with it for sure."


"Hey there, I was on oxycodone 30 mg and oxymorphone 20 mg ER for 7 years . In western New York there has been a horrible problem with these meds in particular. They then tried to switch me to the fentynal patch and percocet for breakthru, WHAT A NIGHTMARE. Dr. was finally convinced to put me back on my oxy s. I could not get out of bed or have any kind of life without them. Going to be back performing again on Broadway this fall. Thank GOD for Oxy's."


"I started taking asthma to control my adult-onset asthma.  It works very well, and when I am on it, my asthma is very well-controlled. I have gone off of it twice, due to my doctor thinking I did not need to be on it long-term, but after my last series of asthma attacks we agreed I should stay on it for the foreseeable future. My only comment is that I do think it makes me gain weight, especially in my mid-section.  Not a lot (yet) but we will see what happens if I go off of it again. The weight gain is on average about 5 lbs., so not much, but on my frame, it is noticeable.  Every time I go off it, the weight goes as well.  I'd rather breathe and have 5 extra lbs., but I haven't seen this listed as a significant side effect anywhere."


"I am 42 yes old and have had social anxiety my whole life. It's been hard to deal with. I became an addict because I couldn't cope. After serving in the military I went to the VA for help. I was on so many medicines I can't remember them all. Gabapentin has changed my life. Been completely clean for years and no anxiety."


"I weighed 163lbs when I started this medicine. I dropped 10lb during the first month. I also started medicines for thyroid issues, so that might be part of it. However, my cravings are completely gone! The medicine also helps a bit with my depression, and I feel more determined to work out. I'm pretty happy with it."


"I just wanted to share the info I got from my doctor. I just got prescribed this medication today. Some people on here mentioned headaches, nausea and tanning both of which my doctor told me could be some side effects. Hope that helped!  I hope this medicine helps me."


"I have been taking Xanax (alprazolam) in moderation for a few years. I do not take it unless I feel extremely stressed, which leads to depression. Although I take Lexapro for depression and anxiety, Xanax is still needed for the severely stressful times. It quickly calms my nerves and helps me to not worry and stress so much about things most people would not stress over. It also helps with my short temper. Overall it has been helpful. Also, I tend to forget what I've done or said or experienced while under the influence of Xanax. Also, I noticed it increases my appetite for not-so-healthy foods. Use with caution and moderation."


"Love it. Energy. Lost 15 pounds in 6 weeks. Happy with clear thoughts and reasonable thinking."


"So far so good. I have one child, natural birth and he is almost two. I was so nervous to get it done but their is no way I can have another baby now. I would have to quit my job. Anyway, the insertion was not that bad at all, little bit of cramps and discomfort but that was it. I left and picked up my son and didn't really think of it again. Very very little cramping almost unnoticeable and very little bleeding, just a drop or two. "


"I've been on Xeloda for 5 months. I have extreme traveling pains. Once I woke up at 3am and my right hand felt like someone had stabbed me with a knife and the knife was still in it. This lasted for 3 days. Next it was my left leg at the hip joint. I couldn't walk on it. Lots of pain when I moved it. It lasted about 4 days. Next was in my jaw joint. Painful swelling, couldn't bite down on anything..another 3 day episode. The pain is horrible. I go for scans in two weeks to see why my tumor markers went up. Could be from the inflammation xeloda is causing, could be xeloda is not working for me and the cancer is spreading. Will know soon."


"I have taken plan b multiple times and for the most part it worked. However the last time I took it I started what I thought was my period and went to go have a surgery. They tested me and found out I was pregnant. Moral of the story is even if you think you got your "period" take a test to be safe."


"I love Mirena. I've had it for 6 months and I am SO GLAD I got it. I've had 2 vaginal births and don't want any more. Insertion was easy - just some mild discomfort. The rest of that day I had mild cramps, no worse than the average menstrual cramps. And that's it. No other cramps or symptoms at all. And best of all - no period! It stopped and I haven't had anything at all - no spotting or anything. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MIRENA."


"This works well. It takes time, but if you follow the instructions precisely the warts get smaller and smaller until they're gone. No scar, no freezing or drying, no acid. The warts just shrink until they're gone.  Less side effects than Condylox. It does not affect healthy skin like Condylox does."


"I've always had breakouts on my chin every month for the last 3 years so I tried this. I had a breakout on the 1st month of using this and it was the worse, good thing I don't have any school that time. But it healed faster when I steamed it and let all the cyst pop up. Although it left me a reddish chin that is really annoying. Im on my way to 2nd month and my face is 70% smooth. I can feel another breakout coming. How do I treat this redness on my face? Was it because of the steaming?"


"Subutex/Buprenorphine MIRACLE for me! My life was being destroyed by narcotic pain medication. I was switched back and forth between Dilaudid, Hydrocodone 10mg (Norco) and Oxycodone. My tolerance got higher and higher for the medication with lower thresholds for pain. I was heavily into abuse. Oxycontin was the next choice, (which I never abused) but I was in a stupor. Neglecting my family and experiencing blackouts. Drug treatment alone did nothing to manage the chronic pain I had from an almost fatal car accident. I found Subutex. Four yrs on Subutex I'm employed and mending family damage. Subutex has a ceiling and was created to prevent abuse. It works! I have a life again."


"Pulmonary embolism in 2014, tries clexane, rivaroxaban and warfarin all of which made me so ill, apixaban has been ok, have experienced some gastrointestinal issues but can't be sure if there is a link, taken it now for over 18months and dr hopes for me to stay on it for life."


"Skelaxin has been wonderful for me. I first tried it 3 years ago when I could no longer tolerate the pain and spasms associated with my fibromyalgia. Like many other people, I needed something that I could function with and Flexeril had a sedating effect. I have experienced no side effects on Skelaxin."


"It works!"


"I have been taking Ativan for the past 28 years! Initially it was 0.5mg 2/3 times a day for a few months. Later 0.5mg twice a day for about 2/3 years. Then once a day for 5/6 years. Since then I regularly take 0.75mg once a day in the morning during all these years. I have never exceeded the dosage and I am able to skip the tablet on many Sundays when I don't need to go out or do stressful things. I am sure I will be able to stop taking the medicine when I want but as the dosage is small I have made it a habit to pop 3/4th of 1mg pill daily before I start to office. Side effects - I am unable to distinguish as I am 61 yrs now and have formed some forgetfulness and some usual age related minor personal problems. Ativan is a great medicine!"


"I had been putting off colonoscopy for years due to fear of prep, despite the fact my mother had colon cancer when she was 48!! I am 48 now and couldn't put it off any longer. I have to say Suprep was great! Follow doctor/kit instructions exactly. Works within 30-45 min after dosing. Done using bathroom within 3-3 1/2 hours. Tips: Eat lightly 2 or so days prior, eating mainly soft foods. Hydrate yourself several days prior also, making sure to get lots of extra fluids/electrolytes. Don't drink too much right before dosing so that you can get all the solution/water down comfortably. Do drink as much fluid as you can in between doses to stay hydrated. And RELAX! Positive attitude goes along way! I would definitely use this product again."


"I love this stuff. Works like a charm for someone with hypertension. There are no side effects for me. Also had no migraines while on this one which many others have caused. Great energy and overall condition while taking it."


"I've been on this pill for a year to treat PCOS. My periods were very irregular and I experienced spotting and a low sex drive for first three months after starting. Then I was having normal 3-4 day periods every other month.  I also had trouble with nausea and an upset stomach but it subsided after a week or so. I continued to workout and eat somewhat healthy and I was still able to lose weight. My only complaint was that after starting the pill, my skin got very sensitive to the chlorine in the pool."


"I had experienced sore wrists, neck ache and groin pain on and off for 6 months, then overnight I became almost totally disabled.  Neck pain so bad it hurt to turn my head, shoulder pain I couldn't lift my arms, wrist pain and couldn't take the top of the jam and groin pain I could hardly walk.  Inflammatory markers initially normal and rheumatologist didn't even mention PMR.  It was only after speaking to an Osteopath who suggested it could be Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).  I requested another blood test and my inflammatory markers were raised significantly.   My dr. agreed we should try Prednisone  After just a few days on 15mg/day, the acute pain had gone and I was able to at least dress myself."


"It calms me down a little bit, but it makes me drowsy more than anything."


"I took plan b 9/28 & had a period that ended Oct . 9 I don't know when it started but I had one . did plan b work? Because I'm pregnant and I want to know if I got pregnant before or after plan b . I was not ovulating at all so my period came when expected ."


"I started taking Naltrexone for the first time on April 26, 2017. I turned 50 this year and have had a secret battle with alcohol for 30 years. I have sought help through drug rehabs and GP in the past who have given me Campral and asked me to do some therapy CBT. Unfortunately Campral did absolutely nothing for me. I tried it many times and it just didn't work at all. CBT was a waste of time for me too. All through my struggle I managed to keep a good job, raise kids and not many people would of thought that each day I would stop at the bottle shop and buy a bottle of wine or two. All I can say is Naltrexone looks like the drug that has saved me. I am using TSM and it's day 4 and the thought of drinking makes me feel ill."


"I have mixed feelings about this medication. I had taken Pristiq for almost 6 months.  The side effects of a headache daily, nausea, the night sweats, teeth hurting, jaw clenching. The 1st month I was so tired, taking a nap  shortly after the dose.  I have to admit I wasn't so emotional to the point of crying at the drop of trying situation. I then had Topomax added as well, it seemed okay for a couple of months until I just wasn't myself at all. I made the hasty action to stop all the medicines which I must say, do not do this.  The withdrawal effects were terrible to say the least. I strongly suggest seeking medical advice on taking this action."


"In October of 2015, I experienced a defibrillation, after 3 days in the hospital it was determined that I was to have a triple bypass. A week after I had that operation I had another defibrillation.

I had average to low pressure prior to my surgery and defibrillation, my cardiologist put me on Cardevilol generic 3.125 twice a day to help my heart gain strength after the operation. I also had a Defibrillator installed.

In the beginning of my recuperation I didn't feel anything but as time went on I felt tired, gained weight and after 8 months started to experience dizzy spells when getting up or laying down. Moodiness, lack of sex drive were also side effects that hit me.

My doctor has now taken me off the medication. Let's see any change"


"At the start of every summer for 5 years my son gets the worst mystery rash on his back (Contact Dermatitis) they call it. We just can't figure out what that contact is. It has itched so badly in the past that he had actually scratched himself bloody and had to be sedated at the ER.  Finally his doctor prescribed Lidex 0.05% and almost instant relief. It's been amazing. No side affects to date for him. I don't know who created it but Thank you."


"I recently lost my husband and I was prescribed Trazodone for depression. Before this, I was taking Ambien for sleeplessness. I am now off Ambien which gave me bad headaches, not only am I sleeping better than ever, but my depression seems to be somewhat in check. I do not expect any miracle medicine to take away the pain and sadness of losing the love of my life, but this is more than helping with no side effects at all."


"Week 1 down 4 lbs.  Very little sickness, not craving food either.  I eat because I know its needed.  I'm excited so far.  Just moved up to 1.2 and still doing great."


"I just got the mirena yesterday, naturally I read all about it online and read many negative reviews however my colleague has had the mirena for ten years and swears by it so I thought id give it a go. Getting pap smears have never been pleasant  for me due to the size of the speculum however my Dr was very understanding and the procedure wasn't painful at all. There was pressure in my abdomen upon insertion but this was expected and the first night I had fairly bad cramping. The next day has gone by as if nothing happened and my period has stopped already when it was meant to go on for four more days. So far pleased however will keep posted."


"i have been on this medication for a year. I have had post traumatic stress disorder for 12 years. This medication has caused significant changes in my daily life living with PTSD. I have been able to go out and shop talk to people etc."


"I have had the Nexplanon since Oct. 2014. I loved it at first - I was so excited that I could be on a birth control that I didn't have to worry about taking daily and also make my period lighter, shorter, or even non existent. I was very concerned when my gyno said that It could cause some spotting but very rare. I definitely should have done more research because based on all these reviews it just shows that everyone has a problem with there periods being more existent than ever before. I have my period for 8 days on and then 8 days off. Literally every other week. I've also gained at lease 5-10 lbs of weight. I've been 10 X more moody. My face has never broken out like this before (it's aweful) pimples in places I've never had."


"Latuda is the first antipsychotic I've taken, and I have to say it works. Yeah nausea sets in if you don't eat with it but it's been pretty fine. Started with 20 MG for the past 6 months, and auditory hallucinations diminished at least 90%. Anxiety about 60% which is why I'm looking to up my dosage to 40mg along with upping my zoloft dosage to 100mg.But with any medicine there are side effects and diarrhea is an issue with this medication. So, with my uptake in dosage hopefully I'll be all the way me again."


"This is just about the insertion because I feel it's my duty to quell the fears of other women out there after I let myself go way overboard in reading horror stories online and freaking myself out... I was prepared for the worst pain of my life based on what everyone was saying, and I can't believe how completely fine it was. Seriously, I would describe it as discomfort. I squeezed the nurse's hand really hard for a second and then it was over. Barely had any cramping afterwards.

I know this isn't true for everyone, but it is probably way more likely that you will have an experience like mine, so don't freak out, please! It's a non-issue, don't waste energy getting stressed over this like I stupidly did."


"When I first started this medicine I was dizzy, couldn't eat, shaking, nervous, sick, and much more. But after 2 weeks that all went away. I love this medicine I no longer suffer from depression or anxiety attack. The one thing I Dont like about this medicine is the irregular heartbeat. I Dont like that at all. But other than that this medicine is a miracle."


"I used to take the Depo shot but wanted something to clear my skin. These reviews scared me! My first week on the pack I broke out a little bit more than usual and was very moody, I kept telling myself that its my body getting used to the hormones. And sure enough, after my first week my skin is clear (a few blemishes from sleeping with makeup on) my mood is great, just like its always been, and intimacy with my boyfriend isn't a problem. I'm not experiencing the vaginal dryness. I'm starting my second pack and I'm glad I gave this a try. Ladies, take Vitamin A daily, 10,000 IU this should help with the skin clearing! Best of luck!"


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