"I have dealt with chronic constipation and IBS for years and nothing has worked. I have been prescribed Miralax and used laxatives that leave me nauseated and major stomach cramps. I usually go 2-3 weeks without a bowel movement and my Dr. didn't seem concerned. When I was finally able to have a bowel movement I had to miss work because I became extremely nauseated and had major stomach cramps. I finally talked my Dr. into prescribing Linzess and I took it for the first time yesterday morning 30 minutes before eating. It took about 2 hours to work and I had warning with my stomach cramping a little but nothing major. I went to the bathroom 3 times and although it was loose stools it was a nice relief. No nausea and no horrible side effects."


"I've been through 10 medications trying to find what worked, because I was so miserable. Wellbutrin along with Seroquel and Effexor were the only thing that have worked for me and I haven't dared to meddle with the wonderful combination I take."


"Been taking Jakafi for 9 months .... 10mg 2x daily. Just now counts slightly increasing so my Dr is adding another 5mg daily to my dose. This med has improved my life significantly .... my over functioning has improved 100% but still with some issues.

It's scary to change medications, I hope my comment will give others courage and hope ... if their Dr thinks it's worth giving it a try."


"I took Zubsolv 5.7mg (2/day, #60 tabs per month) and this is no where near the same dose as the strips, I'm sorry but I don't buy it. I never woke up in sweat from Suboxone strips like I do when I take Zubsolv (I need to take another half in the evenings because they don't last as long) and it certainly is a sucky drug. I have state funded health insurance (it doesn't cover many name brands) either and use their coupon but it is still SO expensive! $211 after the coupon for one box, or $496 for both boxes. If you need 3 boxes, forget it! My Suboxone film is $12 cheaper per box with their own coupon. I gave Zubsolv more than a shot, I put up with it for several months!"


"Had several colonoscopies, endured dreaded gallon GoLytly, NuLytly, MoviPrep, OTC Mag Sulfate/water mixtures. Pros: smaller amt of bad tasting prep. Thats it for Pros! Cons: within a few minutes of starting to drink, got nasty chills; lips/face and progressing thru the body, inside and out. Finger tips and lips turning bluish and my teeth chattering! I'm 48yrs. 5' 10" and 135# active female with no fear of vomiting after going thru chemo...but this was tough! Felt like sudden flu! Wicked nausea, nervousness, muscle aches, freezing cold, cramps, and if i sat up...barf! Took 2 hrs to work aftr being on 24h liquid diet. No sleep, just projectile water-shoot-poop for 8 hrs. 2nd dose=water running out rear uncontrolled! Prefer old MoviPrep."


"My ENT prescribed this for me and it is so totally amazing.  I have not had headaches, or drowsiness as mentioned by others.  I must be using it properly because I have never tasted it.  All I know is my nose is not running all the time, I don't have to always have a tissue in my hand and I can go for walks without having to pay the consequences of being outside.  It is expensive, but I'm worth it!  LOL"


"Worst kind of torture. Want to rip my vagina from my body. SO MUCH STINGING AND BURNING"


"This medicine worked on my cough but gave me such a bad sunburn even with protection on that I will not use it. Be careful and take the warning labels seriously."


"Thank God, for this wonderful medication. I am allergic to literally every other medicine that may be used to treat bladder infections, I have allergies to almost all antibiotics making it very difficult to treat me when I get sick. I was told by my Dr there were no other options literally to treat me with when he took one last look before having to admit me to hospital for I.V. treatment when he said wait, there is one option left called Monurol and he prescribed it, I was a little hesitant at first due to the fact it is only a single dose treatment but I was wrong. Monurol started taking symptoms away in 5 hours after treatment, and by day 3 completely cured my severe urinary tract infection. This medicine is amazing. Thank God for Monurol."


"I had the nerves in my lower back burned due to several back surgeries. I started this bloating, throwing up and terrible stomach pain. My doctor did a gastric emptying study and yes I have gastropries. After doing tons of research and my great doctor the main way to get this gastropries is from the injury to nerves in the back. It all fell into place. Some days r great some are horrible. My biggest problem is my diet. I am not over weight have lost 25 lbs sense January. I just eat whatever I want then pay later. My biggest problem is the fullness, sometimes it's hard to catch my breath . Does anyone have that problem. Like right now my tummy is just making real weird noises. Anybody have that?"


"I've been taking phentermine for 1 week and I've lost 15lbs. Day 1, I weighed in at 271lbs and exactly 2 week later 256lbs. I've weighed in almost everyday because after the first day I'd lost 5lbs and I couldn't believe it. I feel nauseous a lot and don't desire any food but overall I'm having a good experience."


"This is a great product. I have run the whole course of home cures, doctor visits, constant pain in the A** all this year. My latest Doctor prescribed ProctoFoam and 1st use was a God Send. Relief was instant. Burning, itch and pain faded away. Slept so good."


"I got my Skyla about 6 hours ago, so this is only in reference to insertion. I almost cancelled 5 minutes before my appointment because of these reviews, and it wasn't bad at all! The slightest cramping for maybe 10 seconds twice during a 5 minute time period. I did start to get cramps when I got home that started somewhat painful but have been getting slowly better. I've never had cramps before with my periods and I don't think they're awful. Only thing I don't like is I can't wear a tampon for 48 hours, I feel very uncomfortable and I'm worried about infection from being too damp (I'm on my period because they suggested I be for insertion). Hoping my bleeding stops as my normal period would, will keep updated."


"I take 10 mg generic Ritalin as needed. It gets me moving and I can focus a little better. I already have hair thinning and the doc warned me that this is a known side effect for some. However, I don't know if the Ritalin contributes to my hair loss or not. For me, I need to take it about 2 hours after breakfast for it to work. Then it lasts about 4 hours. I probably need a script to take this twice a day instead of once."


"I had Implanon inserted after having my second child. I have had it for almost 3 years now and I absolutely love it. I've had maybe 7 short periods in 3 years. Yes it gives me headaches occasionally but another child would do the same. I am actually wanting to get another one. I have been a little moody but you just have to have relax time too (helps a lot.) I have not experienced the decreased sex drive thing so my hubby is fortunate for that. I would recommend this to anyone. It is better than any other birth control out there. That's my opinion and I've tried almost every kind you can think of. I give it a 10."


"My first time ever trying birth control. I accidentally started it when I was spotting and and week later my period came. Now I'm on my 18th day and I've never been on my period this long before. I have in the past but only because I've had a stressful month. I'm shedding a lot more and have cramps and back ache from time to time. I'm thinking of staying it on it for one more month since maybe my body is getting used to it so we'll see. I'm going to let my doctor know and keep her updated"


"Saved my life because I didn't want to live like that.

On my 20th year , 1996.   It's life long treatment , not a cure , but symptom free in five years."


"I am on day 6 of wearing the patch for the first time.  On the 3rd day, nausea began and it has come in waves everyday since.  I also feel extremely tired.  I have had moments where I want to rip it off but I have read that the symptoms will lessen if I stick it out.  I am 31 years old and have not been on any birth control in at least 13 years and have no children.  So at this point, I am going to stick it out a bit longer."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I drank the first cup within about 25 minutes, sucking on a minute maid frozen lemonade to help with the taste (I have a weak stomach).  The taste is not really "that" bad though....has a fruity/salty taste.  About 30 minutes later my stomach began turning and I sprinted unsuccessfully to the restroom; I simply could not control my bowel movement.  I am only 50 and am in great physical condition....but I was no match for the Suprep.  I spent the next two hours visiting the bathroom frequently.  The second dosage wasn't as bad urgency wise, but I've spent a lot of time in the bathroom and now feel raw in that area from the frequent wipings.  I'm hoping all is finished before I go to bed later.  Good news is there was absolutely NO cramping."


"They put me on palperidone and within a week, I was very aggressive. They took me straight off it again. "


"Broke my arm and was given the drug. Caused respiratory distress. Was told to never take it again. I woke up and the medical staff was slapping me on the chest and screaming for me to breathe!"


"Lyrica did not work particularly well for me. I had previously taken Cymbalta 60mg for 7/8 years and was feeling that it was no longer as effective so my doctor prescribed Lyrica. I noticed a large amount of weight gain (which I would not have minded if helped the pain!) about 50 pounds over 6 months before it stabilized. After some time of taking the medication (9 months or a year I forget) I was always complaining to my doctor about pain and fatigue being bad so he switched me to Savella. I noticed a huge difference and I lost the weight!"


"works great...starts working right away and doesn't stain."


"I have severe insomnia, secondary to serious problems with my back.  Basically I need help falling asleep and staying asleep as something as simple as rolling over will cause me to bolt right awake.

I take secobarbital (Seconal Sodium) and temazepam (Restoril). Usually, I take temazepam with Seconal at bedtime and another temazepam during my nightly awakening.

Seconal is not used as a "first line" insomnia treatment any longer.  However, if the weaker sedatives fail you, it really will get you to sleep. Absolute caution is needed, the reputed strength and history of this medication is no joke.  "


"I took Adderall for about 7-8 months.  It was the first medication that I have taken for ADHD as in the past I have suffered through the symptoms.  Overall I would say that it helped my focus and drowsiness.  Other than that I didn't notice a huge change in other areas, though the ability to stay awake and keep focused helped at work. I still managed to forget important events.  It works well for those of us who have the in-attentive type ADHD."


"Muscle pain
Max dosage does not bring my BP to a safe level
Only staying with it because I've tried dozens of others with extreme side effects"


"I have been on Microgestin since October of 2009. What I have noticed is that with every hair washing I would pull out lots and lots of hair from my head. At the same time my chin hairs has gotten lighter and I don't have to pluck as often (my facial hair was always a real problem - it was dark and stubby and right under my chin). Since being on this birth control, it has gotten softer, lighter, and less noticeable--but I'M GOING BALD. Also, I seem to be depressed a lot and have very little energy and overall good feeling. I seem agitated a lot and raise my voice more often. "


"Had a severe UTI that wouldn't clear up on it's own so I had a doctor that called in Bactrim. Within 15 minutes of taking it I had severe flu-like symptoms. It is now 3 years later ... I can only eat about 10 different foods due to intolerances and severe allergies to most anything. I cannot tolerate chemicals or outside allergens either. I basically live in a bubble- of pain, fatigue and misery. When people ask what happened to me, all I can say is, I don't know, I took Bactrim and it ruined my immune system. Did the Bactrim clear up the infection? Yep... sure did."


"I had a basal cell carcinoma on my face, right under my left eye. I had surgery to remove it but it came back. The Imiquimod cream did the trick.  It never came back and I'm writing this 4 years after the fact."


"I’m a 19 year old athletic kid, and when I was prescribed this 3 years ago it did wonders. It was my junior year of high school and I was prescribed 10mg twice a day, once in the morning and once at lunch, with an optional one in the afternoon if I had a lot of homework or studying. My grades were much better and it didn’t have any side effects. Now, 3 years later I have a bad tolerance and I had to up my dosage to 20mg three times a day. I now take it to even make it to class and if I don’t take it I can barely stay awake. Like many people said it makes you feel extremely sluggish like a zombie, and it’s an absolutely awful feeling. I lose emotions, have mood swings and even my sex drive with my girlfriend is completely destroyed."


"On day 1, no change in the symptoms. Day 2: I got diarrhea. Day: 3 no more fever and pain relief, diarrhea reduces as well. Day 4: No fever, no diarrhea and a little headache. Days 5 to 7: I forgot I was sick, had to put reminders on the phone in order to remember to follow the 7 days prescription. Worked for me."


"This is my second insertion of Implanon. The first three years I had no side effects, other than some breast tenderness and the implant site was sore for a few days. I did not have weight gain, I actually lost some weight. I did not have a single period for the first two and a half years after the insertion. Then for the last six months I began to get one every month. I recently had my second Implanon put in a few months ago and have not had a period yet or any side effects. I love this method, my only complaint is that it is so expensive! Mine cost nearly $2,000.00 for the device and the insertion. I am in my thirties and have not had any children yet, so I like the fact that my fertility will return quickly after removal."


"This medication was a miracle for my OCD like I swear my intrusive thoughts had almost gone! I was able to do things that I couldn't do with OCD! Sadly I couldn't continue it as I got a really bad side affect of low blood pressure! I wasn't able to do much during this time. It was worth a try though!"


"I've been on Nuvaring for two weeks and I've been having a heavy period since I put it in. I've also been tired, cranky, nauseated and I never want sex. I love sex! So I don't like this birth control. I'd rather go back to the high school method and use condoms!"


"Bottle impossible to open without vice grip pliers. Diagram on the bottle lid is completely useless. It indicates " 1.push down and 2. turn anticlockwise" but will not open with these manipulations. Possible that I got a bottle from a defective batch in manufacturing (bar code 3 63824 21366 8), made in England, where the QC is much better than in, say, China. Written instructions on the peel to read label would be useful. Also why not add a trivial amount of sucrose such as 1 gram (1/100th of the carbs in one slice of bread) instead of toxic/carcinogenic/laxative EDTA,  benzoate, propylene glycol, propyl gallate, sorbitol, sucralose, and beet color instead of FD&C Red #40? The anhydrous citric acid would suffice as a nontoxic preservative."


"Itching"


"Was on this pill for two months and had a horrible experience. Please do not take this pill! It causes a lot of weight gain, acne, depression, bleeding, great tenderness, and mood swings."


"I was diagnosed with allergy induced asthma last year after suffering for many years.Was prescribe Breo Ellipta which worked almost instantly and totally resolved my symptoms. I was ecstatic as it was an absolute miracle drug and all my coughing and tight chest issues were gone!

The very unfortunate downside was that I started with severe headaches which literally crippled me. I went off the Breo and the severe headaches stopped, but chesty issues have returned. GP has now put me onto Symbicort to see how that goes. Im so upset that the Breo didn't work out for me as it is truly effective. Would highly recommend it (and hopefully no headaches for you)"


"I had Kyleena inserted two days before my period. I'm not going to sugar coat my experience. The insertion was the most painful thing I've ever had to go through. My doctor told me I would feel some slight cramping, but instead I had the worst cramps I've ever experienced. I also almost passed out during the procedure because the pain was so bad. I ended up hanging out in the room for a few minutes before I could even move around. For the rest of the day, I had very bad cramps. The second day was a little better. On the third day, I got my period and also had very bad cramps. At one point I was driving and had to pull over because I was in so much discomfort. My period then lasted for 12 days. I had mild cramping and moderate back aches."


"Stage IIIc Lobular breast CA, node ,
Started generic Femara 18 months ago after radiation. Minor side effects- hair loss, nails, skin, vaginal dryness. Major- started out with tolerable joint, bone and muscle pain. But about a month ago, these symptoms became severe enough to decrease my quality of life. My oncologist did blood work, all okay. She wanted a bone scan but after ready reviews, this is the Femara not bone cancer. She just has not had amy Patients do this, the literature is based on trials not general population. The literature( and she told me) the symptoms go away by 8 months! Not!!
I also have MS ( still mobile, but that has some same/ similar side affects) but Femara more like arthritis. Knees, ankles. Stay on though!"


"Amazing. My doctor prescribed this with Phenergan to help with the nausea. Usually just half of each pill will stop an oncoming migraine in its tracks. If it's bad, I take the other half a little later.

It's cheap and effective and the only side effect I've noticed, drowsiness, is pretty benign as side effects go, especially compared to most migraine medicines.
Can't ask for better than that."


"This is amazing I've been on it for 3 months and my period is only 2 days and very light, as before it would last up to 8 days and was extremely painful. The only side effect I had was some nausea, but that went away after a few days. Overall this is great I would definitely recommend it."


"I had one injection in June 2012 after seeing a GP about wanting to try for a baby soon and he suggested I need to take Rubella immunisation and contraceptive. He recommended Depo as he suggested it has minimum impact on my body before getting pregnant because it's a progesterone only. After the visit I found out on the net that the Depo shot can stop my ovulation for up to 2 years! I was a mess for a couple of month, but after 6 months I felt my cycle were coming back, and after 10 month before I even got a regular period back I fell pregnant. Now we have a very healthy and happy 1.5 year old :) It is effective as a contraceptive and I'm now feel happy for what happened because I had a chronic anemia before but it got better while pregnant"


"A very positive experience without noside effects."


"Gained tolerance quickly on this med- maxed out dosage/ frequency and had to add additional pains meds to address pain issues. Have not had issues with dependency thankfully-"


"I love Implanon. Insertion was a breeze. I did have a few mood swings at first but my body adjusted. This is a great reliable birth control."


"Hi everyone,   in 2011 I was diagnosed with stage 3A invasive ductal breast cancer - I went through chemo for 4 months and had double mastectomy in March 2012 - followed by 6 weeks of radiation.  I was put on tamoxifen for a year and then femara which I currently take now. The biggest thing with femara is being like I am constantly tired and "foggy" - I can handle the hot flashes ( we live in Minnesota - where the winter lasts for 6 months) - I just walk around outside with a t shirt on and I'm good to go!  Lately, I have been experiencing hair loss and I don't know if its due to the femara?  Anyone else have this problem?  Please let me know.  Hang in there beautiful ladies (& men)"


"I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2nd grade. I have been on medication ever since (I'm 31 now). I started Concerta in high school and I must say it did very well to get me through class in college. I was even in my majors honor society. Now I have to say I think the years of various medicines have caused some real adverse reactions. I'm very depressed and moody. I've gone from being the big go getter in my company to borderline at best. Worst of all I have a new son and my anxiety is really getting in the way of me enjoying him."


"Been on this for 3 months. I'm 20 years old and was put on this due to: Ovarian cysts, acne, incredibly painful/irregular & as future birth control method.

It didn't seem to do anything other than make me hungry, achey, & VERY VERY tired. My period is still irregular & painful. My face hasn't cleared up. I definitely experience spotting a week before the brown pills. I BARELY bleed or not at all on the brown pills which makes me nervous for when I do start to have sex and would like reassurance that i'm not pregnant.

I go back to the doctor this week, i'm definitely switching to a different birth control! Something to get rid of my acne, my painful periods & something that will regulate them!"


"I have horrible arthritis pain for many years...tried everything..I've been on Vicodin (10mg) 4 a day for about 6 years..Finally a pain clinic Dr. gave me Zohydro (40mg) 2 a day. I would say I am 80 percent pain free. Overall quality of life has changed.  No more ups and downs. I have to remind myself to take the second pill. Thanks ZOHYDRO!"


"I suffer from chronic sinus infections and migraine headaches. I usually can tell if a sinus infection has taken hold when sumatriptan ( migraine med) is not working!  first go round a couple year ago with Augmentin 875 mg big pills was awful, and I experienced what others reported with horrible chemo like diareah effects, barely made it through 5 of 10 days, but felt better in head afterwards. decided to gut it out again a couple years later with another sinus infection after weaker antibiotics did not work and had a much easier time with augmentin. perhaps body needs to adjust yo this med, but thank god it works!"


"I get shots of this when I have a migraine. The shot hurts, but once the medicine kicks in, you feel a lot better. You probably wouldn't want to drive on it though."


"So a year ago when I got this I saw a lot of bad reviews. One lady said she itched every time she would sweat. I thought she was over reacting. I Sweat and get hives that look and feel like mosquito bites all over. I don't get my cycle any more but I cramp bad as he'll and that's the only reason I got it."


"I'm not a swimmer, but I get ear infections a lot. I always get prescribed this and it always works in under 10 days. Wish it was available OTC."


"I've been dealing with nagging neck and shoulder pain for almost 2 months now. Stemming from a hard fall on ice, resulting in a severe concussion, back sprain, and whiplash.
Last week when I was trying to stretch my neck to relieve the nagging ache. Pulling my head to the right I heard a loud pop and a sudden release. And then, oh boy, not 30 seconds later, extreme pain. Unbearable pain. Referring down my arm to my middle fingers. Having had four herniated lumbar discs and two surgeries as a result, I immediately thought I'd herniated or torn a disc.
As the painkillers, muscle relaxants, and physio did not help. My doctor put me on a 5 day steroid taper. I was skeptic. But it started working within 24 hours. This is literally saving my life."


"This product saves me all the time, if any one has issues they should be sure to consider how to maintain your lip on the path of healing.
Examples: DO NOT LICK LIPS, it is such a terrible way to spread to the other parts of your lips and also the inside. I also advise to make sure you put chap-stick to moisten the rest of your lips but not including the infected area because you will spread it.
Best advise I can give you is apply Abreva as soon as you feel even the slightest bump. It helps it prevent it and quicken the process. Make sure you use a Q-tip because I think the best way to cure a cold sore is being very clean with it and fast to cure.
Abreva is probably best in the market and the first to consider."


"I loved this drug--until my insurance company said it was the 'same' as another less expensive drug. I've been miserable ever since. The acid reflux is returning, I am bloated and bowels are always a surprise. My surgeon is thinking a second surgery might be needed - if only I could afford the Protonix it could be avoided."


"Had panic attacks and major depression. This medication changed my life for the better. Been on this medication for almost a year. Takes about 3 months to feel the full effect. If the dose is too strong you may feel worse. Its trial and error."


"I had Implanon inserted in March, 2008 about 6 weeks after my son's birth.
- periods are very infrequent (I skip 3-6 months at a time)
- periods last 4-6 WEEKS (as opposed to my normal 4-6 days)
- weight gain (I weigh as much today as the day I walked into the hospital to deliver my son!)
- mood swings (I'm nearly as emotional as during pregnancy)
- dizziness (I get light headed/dizzy quite often).

I loved the convenience, but the side effects have become too much for me.  I'm getting it removed this week."


"Really helped stop my panic attacks. I take as needed."


"Although this drug has paused my seizure activity, I feel like a different person. The first month my mood swings were unreal and almost indescribable. I'd wake up so happy in the morning and be depressed by around 4-5pm. I was and still am fatigued all the time, and little things like walking up the stairs make me out of breath. I also let little things annoy me and unfortunately take it out on the people around me. I have lost 10 pounds since I've started this medication, I have no desire to eat even though I know my body needs food. I feel like Dory from Finding Nemo and it makes me embarrassed at times. My friends will tell me something and I'll completely forget what they said and ask them about it a few minutes later."


"I had spinal fusion on 1 disc over 13 years ago. Maybe I should have done the 3 as recommended by one of the 3 opinions because I've have had chronic pain ever since. Still 3 cervical herniations and 3 lumbar. I was on Vicodin and Robaxin and the need increased over time I guess due to tolerance. I was miserable. I finally  I gave up and decided to live with the pain. I didn't see a dr for 5 years. Last yr I just couldn't do it anymore. I found the right Dr.- I feel HUMAN again. 10 mg patches work ok with Percocet but they don't work because Butrans has something in it that counteracts narcotics). I do get joint pain in my arms (weird). May need to go to 20mg since percs don't work. On Neurontin for nerve pain. Gained 10lbs but eat less. ???"


"I had been suffering from severe nausea and vomiting on and off including migraine, fever and flank pain. It was my second time in the ER so they gave me compazine  and I'd never had it, it relieved my nausea and migraine but I started feeling so restless I was freaking out, like I wanted to rip out my iv and leave and run away. Then they told me it's a side effect and I already suffered from severe anxiety it made it 1000x worse. I had the worst time trying to sleep, then had the weirdest dreams of my life. They gave me Morphine shortly after which calmed me a little and took the rest of my pain away but I was hoping it'd honestly put me out. 24hrs layer and I still feel that restlessness in my body but it's so much better than it was."


"I love the Juvederm Ultra Plus. A doctor recommended the ultra plus for my smile lines because of its thicker consistency. It has been seven months and can still visibly notice the results."


"I have had a shaking problem since I was eight and I had insomnia I was self medicating with Xanex but if I went one day without one it was hell, plus they would not last all night I would wake up and could not sleep. Then the doctor prescribed clonazePAM and I had no problems I had to increase my dose after a while to two mg twice daily and I never had side effects slept well and was calm it worked great for three years now"


"I was given this medication IV before a radiofrequency nerve ablation.  I had absolutely no response and had to tolerate the procedure with no assistance.  It was extremely painful and nerve-wracking.  They gave me the medication and started the procedure without ever checking to see if I was comfortable."


"I have been on different opiods for a chronic pain issue for 15yrs but, since I started taking methadone 5 years ago I've had horrible problems with constipation. They kept me on myralax 34mg twice a day  and stool softners but even that would only allow me to use the bathroom maybe 3x's a week. I was given relastor as the injection at home and the pain was unbearable for 9 hours and, it did not work. I was so scared to take Movantik but, I'm so glad that I did! Just one pill and everything inside me finally came out! My cramping is very minimal, nothing that really hurts much at all, more "Hey, the pill is working" type of movement and cramps. They have coupons for $20!"


"I started the meds on Monday 2/1/15 and I have seen a significant changed in my hunger.  My food intake for the past 2 days has been way less than the normal.  I am following the diet plan my doctor gave me and have included an exercise plan.  My only complaint is the dry mouth and lack of sleep.  I've managed to get about 5-6 hours each night which has me feeling rested in the mornings.  And yes I've lost 2 pounds!!!"


"I haven't had any serious complications like most of you have. I've only had slight weight gain,  very headaches and just irregular spotting that would go away within a couple of days of start. My sex drive is the same,  I love the fact that I don't have periods. Everyone is different.  I'd  recommend it."


"This medicine is a miracle!! OMG! It nearly has made my RLS dissapear, only had it 2 times in 4 weeks since I have been on it! Before I was getting RLS around 2-3 times a day! I couldn't go to a movie or sit to watch tv, car rides were miserable. Since being on this medication, I have been to a movie and 3 concerts without RLS! I have tryed Requip and Gaberpentin and neither of those worked. I am so happy with this med! I take .50 once a day at night. I think the reason I have had RLS the 2 times in this 4 weeks is that I didn't take it at the same time those 2 nights, I took it later than usual! All in all, I am very happy with this, I am taking the generic."


"Positives: No periods now, no upkeep, easy, cheaper.

Negatives: I had a continuous period for about the first 8 months with basically no breaks.

Ultimately, I would suggest this to a user if they are very patient and wont become frustrated from the almost constant period that many women seem to experience from the implant. I was about to get it removed but now that i've gotten past the constant period stage, it is wonderful. Now there is little to no side effects and I no longer have periods."


"This medicine was fantastic - it allowed me to live my life without mood swings and I finally felt like a normal person. I was able to go about my daily routine without getting severely depressed or getting angry at people. Unfortunately this medicine had a very bad side effect for me that made it so I could no longer take it - my private parts were constantly itchy. I went to doctors and they could not tell me anything because they were just as confused as I was, I did not have any infections or anything like that. I traced back the timeline and thought that this medicine was causing it so I decided to stop taking it and sure enough my itchiness went away. This is a great medication but if you have this side effect you are not alone!"


"Never have taken the generic brand before the pharmacy took it upon themselves to switch it ( Rite Aid) I have to say I'm on day 3 of 5 and it's not working.With original the 3 day Pak I started feeling better that night now got to call the doc back and have it represcribed somewhere else and tell them to do not do generic!!!"


"I have been taking this OC for 4 years. I have mild endometriosis with occasional pain and/or discomfort. This pill is amazing. It helps decrease the level of pain. I have had fewer mood swings. I have less bleeding during menstruation. I highly recommend this oral contraceptive to any woman who has had trouble with other OCs."


"I am a 36 year old male police officer and avid outdoor enthusiast.  I had my 2nd ACL surgery in 2012.  I am very active and having constant knee pain was not an option.  My doctor decided to try Orthovist injections to help with the arthritis.  The Orthovist worked great.  Unfortunately my insurance required my doctor to switch to Euflexxa.  After my first injection I was in incredible pain.  The second shot my knee swelled and the pain was unbearable.  The third shot was even worse.  I ran a fever, had nausea, headaches; basic flu like symptoms.  I have read a lot of the reviews on this website.  It seems like patients either have good results or results like mine.  I want future patients to be aware of the potential risks."


"After years of being a zombie I found a psychiatrist who prescribed it for me and I changed into a functioning person.    I've never had a bad experience.  I only take 5 mg a night, 10 if I wake up in the middle of the night.  I never take more and about half the time 5 mg is enough."


"Well my experience with Implanon I thought was going to be wonderful. The only thing wonderful is that I cant get pregnant. Besides that I bleed for almost two weeks with blood lots and all but now I bleed regular with occasional spotting but my mood swings are ridiculous. I've gained some extra pounds and my eating habit has been the same. Everyones body is different. For some people this is right -but not for me."


"I've only been taking this for two weeks but I feel a major difference. I am normally super irritable and moody, I feel like this medication has helped me gain the self control to think before I speak. I also feel like it's relieved me of anxiety, when a situation happens I feel so chill. I also am no longer suffering from extreme depression fatigue, I never had energy to help out around the house and I am able to do dishes, laundry etc."


"I should start by letting you know that I was an addict of medicines (and having been through treatment, now enjoy 2 years and 9 months of sobriety) but I am also a sufferer of a wretched case of anxiety complete with full blown crippling panic attacks.  Which I have suffered from for many years, but upon completing treatment for my recreational use and now being honest with doctors it was very difficult for that reason to get one to prescribe something that would help my condition.  When I found one that would I would have to have my wife allocate the Xanax out to me but I will say it has helped and worked wonders.  IN MODERATION!!"


"For everyone freaking out. Calm your nerves. I had unpototected sex with my boyfriend and he 100% ejaculated inside me. I started reading online about how it's possible but not likely to get pregnant while on or near your period and freaked myself out. So I went and bought plan b 52 hours later to be exact. I too was scared because I thought I might have taken it too late.I got my usual symptoms but my breast were really tender. To the point where I thought it didn't work. I was on my way to buy a pregnancy test because my period was 2 days late and in the past it only delayed it for a day. But BAM! It started. Turned back around and went home lol. Never been so happy to see it. My advice would be not to stress. And just relax. It will come"


"I was only able to take it 4 days on day four I got very I'll started as uncontrollable depression then violent vomiting. I proceed with Dr advice to go back to old medicines. I've been off it 2 days. I can't eat without severe stomach pain no matter what I eat."


"I've suffered with allergies for YEEEEEARS. Non-stop sneezing (at least 100 times in a row daily) and runny noses until my Dr prescribed me this heavenly medicine. I immediately felt amazing results and by day three my allergies were completely gone. I love you flonase!"


"Most effective medicine I've had so far. Unfortunately, had to stop taking due to kidney effects."


"I don't have any complaints about Methimazole. It got my thyroid where it needed to be & I didn't experience any side effects from it. I highly recommend this thyroid medication."


"I started on Belviq late April 2016. I told my physician that I wanted to seriously lose weight & wanted something safe with not a lot of side effects to help me jump start the weight coming off.   He told me his patients that took Belviq had had good success. He is not the type of Dr. Just to préscribe whatever u want. He does his research and I did mine.

Today, is August 1st and I have lost 20 lbs. it's not a miracle pill, but Belviq's main purpose is to make your brain make your body feel not hungry.  I really have to work at planning out my meals.  The only side effect I have noticed is that I am tired/sleepy.  I sometimes have to drink a strong cup of coffee just to keep awake in the early evening when my husband comes from work."


"I thought I was going to die. I vomited everything in my stomach out on the bathroom floor. I considered calling 911. once I vomited I felt better. Never again will I take this dulcolax."


"If you decide to take this med, or your doctor wants you to, ask for the XR version. It truly is 24 hours of pain relief, I take 100mg XR every night and the best part is that you get to wake up mostly pain free. The mild pain relief all day that can be enhanced easily with tylenol. I have tried muscle relaxers, creams, injections, opiates, and this is the only med to be side effect free and mixes well with over the counter pain meds well to manage. Last thing is the mood elevation that accompanies the XR version, I actually stopped taking my anti-depressant. This works better than anything I have ever taken for my depression, though anxiety is not helped that much."


"I have been on Humira for nearly a year now. At first my rheumatologist was having me inject myself every 14 days, but that was not as effective as we would have liked, so he upped it to every 10 days. I kept it that way for a couple months, but my pain still was bad sometimes. So now he has me injecting myself once a week. Overall I think I'm having some success with the Humira, but I still feel quite tired and have days when my hands and back hurt too much for me to perform my job at work and do things around the house. My finger nails look better, but I'm not sure if the Humira has the ability to help that. I did have clearing of some of the plaques on my skin, but recently I have noticed that they are returning again."


"I have an anal-rectal abscess, and as you can imagine, it is debilitatingly painful. Once it is drained, all will be well, but the thing is, the doctors cannot drain it until it is 'ripe', which won't be for another 3-4 days. 3 days ago, after having this thing growing in me for over a week, I finally went to the walk in clinic, and they gave me antibiotics, and 30 T3s. The T3s I ate like candy, did NOTHING for the pain, and only helped with the fever like symptons these abscesses comes with, and knocked me out. Just got back from the doctor, and he prescribed me Dilaudid, 8 mg tablets, and so far I've only taken one, but I can walk almost normally for the first time in almost two weeks, wihtout grunting and wincing in pain."


"The only medicine that doesn't produces sedation or sexual dysfunction. Very good for anxiety also."


"Every BODY is different and that's the truth with my experience with Suprep. I finished my first dose at 7pm and at 10:30 pm I had my first real liquid movement. I had one or two soft solid movements before this but for me it took a long time. I'm ok. Watching Netflix.  Finished drinking in 18 minutes.  I took someone's advice and sucked on lemon wedges between gulps, which was a life saver for me. Since I had such a long time in between drinking the drink and the true cleansing part of this process, I did have some bloating and "felt the drink working" in my intestinal track, so some cramps and no movement. Now that the flood gates have opened it's better. Early appointment. Up at 3:30 am to drink again. Not much sleep tonight."


"Good"


"Female, 46yrs, depression for ~10yrs. I went on Trintellix 10mg at the end of January and from the very first day, I've been dizzy and nauseous. Yesterday, the nausea was at its worst. I also take Vyvanse 50mg for ADD and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg for high blood pressure plus another BP med. Shortly after going on Trintellix, I started to develop bruising on my upper thighs as well as itching. I think as I scratch, I end up bruising and it looks awful. I contacted my doc and am still waiting for a reply. Hopefully, I'll be taken off of it and will go back to Cipralex and Wellbutrin even though my libido has improved somewhat. At least I'm not crying at the drop of a dime as happens when I don't take any meds at all. Good luck everyone!"


"It's been a year since implant, and my periods are constant, for the last two month I've been bleeding non-stop. It is very effective birth control method since there are no sex involved anyway because of constant bleeding! I was hoping it would go away, but no such luck."


"This drug has changed my life. I wish it hadn't taken going through 7-8 medications and 2 years of feeling like a test subject, but I finally found the one! Doctors tend to use SSRIs for the first line of defence against anxiety and depression (also insomnia). I tried Lexapro, Hydroxyzine, Celexa, Zoloft, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Zoloft (again), and a variety of over the counter supplements. I also did yoga, crossfit, all the natural cures to mental instability. The SSRIs helped significantly but resulted in bad side effects such as sexual, feeling like a robot, and wearing off, over time.  After a few melt downs, 3 doctors, and 2 years, I tried amitriptyline (a tricyclic antidepressant). Now, I feel fantastic- happy, sleeping well, anxiety-free"


"Be aware take this medication and immediately lay down !!!!!the first night I took this medication I was up apparently I don't remember !!!!so I was told, serving myself a shot ,eating, requested weird sexual favors,and was having conversations and answering myself,and had no memory of all these fun festivies the next day,lol,thanks ambien,lesson learned my boyfriend had a blast though!!!!!!!"


"I have been suffering with sleepless nights for over 8 years.  Nothing seemed to work.   Since I have been prescribed a small dosage of amitryptiline my sleep has very much improved.  I fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.  I actually look forward to going to bed now."


"I have been using Bydureon for about 3 1/2 months now. My first month with the pen went well. The next month only one malfunctioned due to the plunger would not push in after it has been twisted out. So far I have been able to get 1 of 5 pens to work in the past 5 weeks. This pen sucks. I would rather have the one you have to mix yourself. I have missed a lot of shots since my insurance will not refill once every 30 days as well as lost on on the money spent for this worthless pen."


"I must say that I am truly greatful that my doctor prescribed this. It changed my life so much that I don't have to be ashamed of the odor caused by sweating under my arms anymore because it's gone. I've tried almost every deodorant over the counter there is and nothing worked. Because of drysol I now have the confidence to walk around freely wearing clothing other than all cotton and not have sweat marks under my arms. I am so thankful for this product and glad I went to the doctor about my problem which led me to discover this product."


"I had it for a year, I had never experienced migraines until I got this in, Now I constantly have headache! I cannot wait to get this out! I would bleed every 6 weeks for 2 weeks at a time. NO SEX DRIVE, Moody and grumpy all the time. This is the worst form of contraceptive I have ever had. I will NEVER recommend this to anyone."


"I began taking this medicine for birth control. It was effective for that purpose but I kept having repeat yeast infections & bacterial vaginitis. I will most definitely stop this medicine when I'm done with this pack of pills. Everyone's body is different though."


"I started using the NuvaRing right after my wedding about two months ago. I was looking for a better alternative than the pill. But since then, my moods have drastically changed. I feel like I'm always angry and I can't even stand my husband sometimes. My husband and friends tell me they've notice a huge change in my mood. I have very little tolerance and will go 0 to 100 real quick!! I'll cry over anything and I just can't stand myself sometimes. I have not gained any weight and it has not affected intercourse but it may cost me my relationship. Definitely switching back to the pill. My friends are also on the Ring and have no complaints...so it may depend."


"I have been on this birth control for one cycle. After reading some of the reviews on this type and similar birth controls I was a bit apprehensive to start. Im giving this birth control a 9 out of 10 as I have not been on it long enough for a 10. So far I love this birth control! My side effects have been so minimal its like Im not even on birth control! I have experienced mild headaches here and there and some nausea but other than that ive been feeling great! I got my period on cue on the third day of the inactive pills and I had no idea it was coming because I had zero pms! My period was very light and I barely had any cramping! I had unprotected sex the first month and obviously didn't get pregnant so I'm very pleased! Highly recommend"


"Relieved my headache quickly!  The best I've tried in the last 5 years!  Been through pain medicines and imitrex, Maxalt works best hands down."


"I'm on week three and have lost 4 pounds so far. But unfortunately I'm going to stop taking the medicine because my blood pressure is increasing severely. I'm on blood pressure medicine already but its not working with me taking contrave."


"Tried this after Lexapro didn't work for me. Started 50mg of Zoloft and gradually got worse. Really didn't enjoy this drug. Decreased mood & irritability, increased suicidal thoughts, completely wiped out my appetite. Felt much better after I stopped taking it (had taken it for 4 weeks)."


"I have been on NuvaRing for 5 months now. I have become very moody, tired, upset, angry, and the thought of sex disgusts me. Now I hate the thought of sex most time which is very unusual for a 19 year old girl. We argue and fuss all the time. Everyday after school I am just tired and want to come home and sleep. I randomly get nausea and cannot eat.  I did not notice that the ring may be affecting me until I decided to look at other users reviews. On the other hand it is so easy to use, and my periods are very light, but despite all of this I am going off of it."


"I am a 48 year old athlete with little body fat.  I have not had a period or 4 years.  Recently my hair began thinning and sex has been very painful.  My doc suggested that I have blood tests to determine whether or not I was in menopause.  The tests showed that my estrogen was low, so he prescribed me Aviane.  This pill has been my MIRACLE drug.  My hair stopped falling out, sex is no longer painful, and I feel happy all the time.  NO issues except for very light spotting while taking the hormonal pills.  I did call my doc to ask if this was normal, and he said that it was my body adjusting to the new hormone.  I am very very satisfied with the outcome!"


"I have suffered from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder for most of my life but wasn't aware that's what I was going through. Just last month got diagnosed FINALLY and I am a totally new person on the Sarafem. Not different in terms of my personality. Just who I am without all the rage and mood swings. My relationships with my husband and kids is drastically improved. I did have some sleeplessness in the first week but other than that, no side effects. It has changed my life. I look forward to actually living now. I don't like resorting to medicine right away. But I really wish I would have considered this sooner."


"I took synthroid for 10 years, I had severe insomnia so also took sleeping pills everyday, I was depressed to took anti depressants everyday, had high blood pressured so took drugs for that. I couldn't focus at work and just getting up in the morning felt like a chore

In 2013, I switched to  natural desiccated thyroid drugs (NDT). It felt like waking up from a bad dream. I'm no longer depressed, my sleep hasn't been this good in my entire adult life. It's like night and day, I wish more doctors gave their patients the opportunity to try solutions other then synthroid; because clearly, it doesn't work for everyone."


"I started taking Contrave on July 26.  I have tried many diets.  I have a very hard time sticking to any program very long, only to gain the weight back plus more!  I felt effects with Contrave the first day.  The side effects I have had has been some nausea and lack of appetite, which I consider a good thing.  It has helped me not to over eat, snack, or eat from being bored.  I love to cook, and I have been able to do that for my family without over eating.  Lost 5 pounds in 7 days.  I am excited and hoping I have found something that will finally work for me.  Will see my doctor in 4 weeks."


"I have been battling toenail fungus for the past 2 years and I really tried everything I could in order to not take any medicines but I looked at my toe and the nail was starting to rise so I decided to ask my doctor for a prescription.  I've only been taking it for a week and a half and this is what I've experienced.  After about 2 days of taking it I started experiencing nausea, gas and bloating but I tried switching my dose to the evening before bed and I feel so much better.  I guess it all happens in my sleep now.  So far my toe looks good but I will post my results once I've been on it longer."


"I've used Magnesium Citrate before and it works like a charm. On and off stomach bloating, pressure, I knew I was stuffed up. Drank a whole bottle at 11:15am, by  6:45pm I was off to the races. Definitely recommend clearing your calendar for a day or so cause you're gonna go."


"Tried most antidepressants, and I was ready to give up. I was tired of trying antidepressants, getting sick while I waited for the positives, only to find out it didn't really help.  I've tried Prozac, Paxil (good but stopped working for me), Zoloft (allergic to it), Effexor, Citalopram (worst of all).  I don't know what made me ask my doctor for Cymbalta, but I did. It started working the second day I took it!  I have been slowly recovering from depression and getting my life back.  I hope the same for the people who read this.  Never give up hope!"


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for treatment of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis for going on 5 months, and I have to say that I am very happy with this pill. After the nightmare experience with my last pill, Seasonique (severe depression, constant bleeding, upset stomach, zero libido) this pill is a Godsend. The first month was, admittedly, rough (as it normally is when switching birth control pills). I had massive mood swings and 1 week of spotting. But since then it has been smooth sailing! The only issue I have is low libido. I'm guessing I'd probably have that problem with any hormonal pill, so I'm making the best of it. But Lo Loestrin Fe helps keep me pain free and has the added bonus of no bleeding! A   so far!"


"It works great! It helps numbs the pain a lot which helps. It also speeds up the healing process. If I start using it the second I feel the tingle sometimes the blister doesn't even form! If I can't get another tube before it starts to blister but I can get to it within a day, it shortens the time I have it from 7 days to only 2 maybe 3. Totally worth it! I've dealt with these all my life, it's nice to have something out there that works."


"I'm 35 years old and no children. I had Mirena put in about a month and a half ago. Insertion was not painful. Kind of like pap smear but longer. Little cramps but I thought - was that it? So nothing major there. Just that I've been spotting ever since. I feel like it's getting old but I'm trying to hang in there like my doctor told me. Already had my check up visit and she said everything looks fine. I do think I'm gaining weight. In-between the insertion and check up 5 bounds. Now I feel bloated and fat. But I'm determined to hang in there and see what happens. Overall I would recommend Mirena. The easiness of having birth control for the next 5 years for couple of months of spotting - I'll take it."


"I recently had my second Mirena inserted. I had my first one for 6 years. I had a little bit of spotting for the last year or so, perhaps due to the hormones reducing.  I had gained almost 60 pounds since my first insertion. But it was gradual and I never attributed it to the Mirena. I recently went on a low carb diet...started exercising and voila, 40lbs lost in a 3 month period! I guess it wasn't the Mirena after all. When I got my second one inserted I gained 5 lbs of water overnight and bloated something fierce.  I began to worry, what if I start to gain again? Well I gave it 2 weeks I'm down on the scale lower than ever! I'm a happy Mirena user."


"I am 37 years old and I have high blood pressure and asthma, and a history of kidney issues that required surgery to fix kinked ureters. I have tired Viagra and Cialis due to erectile dysfunction issues primarily from side effects of ACE Inhibitor treatment. I have had lasting erections with both medicines but the Cialis seems to last longer for me; up to 48 hours. I have had Viagra fail me during intercourse, the down side of Cialis is the skull splitting headache that I get after taking it. Doctor switched me to Diovan for the high blood pressure and now I only have to take erectile dysfunction medicines every now and then. I think the Cialis works better than Viagra."


"My uncle has had epilepsy since he was 18. He is now 60. He was on Dilanton up until 4 years ago when he was put on Depakote after a 45  minute seizure. Then no more until February. Then he started having seizures once a week. The doctor added Keppra. The seizures kept happening every couple weeks so the doctor sent him to a neurologist which maxed out the doses of both pills. Last month he had 4 lengthy seizures within 2 hour time period. That's when the doctor added Vimpat. As of today he has not had a seizure but the doc wants to up the Vimpat again. Since he has been on it he has had horrible memory loss. "


"I was on Androgel when I read about Axiron.  While Androgel was OK, it didn't seem to do much for my libido.  It did help with weight loss but other effects were mild. I asked my doctor to switch my prescription, which he did.  Wow, this stuff really upped my libido significantly.  I am 69 and feeling more like 45.  Other than the mild burning after applying it (like some deodorants) I have not experienced any negative side effects.  Application, once you realize you don't push the pump like you do with Androgel (sends it flying), but press slowly and apply slowly it is actually faster and easier to do with less mess.  I would highly recommend trying this if you are having problems with diminished libido."


"I wish they have me something with less side effects, since I haven't had UTI in 5 years and this is the 2nd one I've ever had, I'm not immune to antibiotics because I'm never on them. I have a headache, muscle & joint pain, and I feel very nauseated I'm now on my 2nd dose and my urinary tract feels 85% better though. I'm praying I don't get tendinitis or nerve damage as it says on the warnings. I have to take this for 5 days."


"I am many years with eye allergies and patanol used to help me cure this. Until recently where I bought this expensive eye drops and expecting same results. But too bad, it's either the ingredients changed or its only contains water in it.. The allergies stays and the drops don't do any I mean any improvement except make it worse! It sux! I was in middle of why this still happening to me while I am using patanol?! For 3 weeks no improvement! Till I use generic anti allergic eye drops which cures instantly!!!"


"It was okay. I didn't get pregnant, though my sex drive was extremely low. I had break through bleeding almost the whole time, which didn't help the sex drive.
When I got off it, my husband said I seemed more happy and acted more my age (mid 20s). Apparently it affected my mood greatly and I hadn't noticed.

"


"20 years ago I was diagnosed with hepatitis c genotype 1. So my doctor recommended the interferon treatment and it did not work and the side effects were terrible. 6 months ago my liver enzymes were really high and I went to the doctor and they put me on Harvoni for 3 months. I highly recommend this medicine because I am now cured and hepatitis c free. Fight with your insurance to cover this drug because I had to fight for it as well. Good luck."


"It was very helpful."


"I have been on Zoloft for just over a year. I take 75-100 mg daily. I'm definitely more comfortable in social situations. My only complaints are drowsiness and not really having ANY emotions. It did help a lot when I was downsized. I'm still looking for a job but it seems to help with anxieties associated with job interviews. People say I'm a HAPPY person now."


"I got it inserted in October 2014, no periods since. The only downfall is now would be the time of my second period and I have horrible acne! Other than the acne no other side effects, I can deal with the acne if it's only once a month."


"I had severe stomach cramps and diarrhea while taking this medication.  Symptoms disappeared within days after I quit taking it."


"Since June 2017! I was scared after reading these painful insertion stories, but the actual insertion didn't end up hurting. Took two Motrin 40 min before and it was just a slight pressure for ~2 min. I had some spotting that day and mild cramping, but felt fine. I started spotting about a week after insertion; for a few months I spotted for a week every other week. By September, I was back to regular light periods. I've had no side effects besides feeling slightly emotional around my period.
My biggest comment is to remember that everyone will have a different insertion experience depending on pain tolerance, OBGYN, and your individual body. Talk to an OBGYN you trust and follow up if you're having excess pain or side effects. :)"


"Been on Truvada/Norvir/Prezista combination for 3 years after Zerit was discontinued and I developed a resistance to Sustiva. No noted side effects other than urine diluted. "


"I have gained about 6 or 7 pounds (i.e. half a stone or 3 kilos) in total. My reflection in the mirror is fine but my clothes have become too tight, I feel very uncomfortable in them and in fact, I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. Somehow, I just feel inflated. The weight gain is really around the waist, the bottom and the thighs (and the bust, the one area I am not complaining about). I did a quick search on the internet and quick enough I found a number of forums discussing weight gain with spiro (in the exact same areas). Weight is a sensitive issue for me because I did struggle a bit with it in my teens/early twenties."


"I don't recommend this shot to anyone!!!  Especially, if you plan on having kids in the future.  It caused my daughter to become sterile.  At the ripe age of 19 years old, she is told she is going through menopause and will never have kids on her own."


"I've been on Contrave for several months now and I can't say I lost much if any weight. I feel different. My head always feels full and I am a bit nauseated. I don't think I will be continuing this beyond 3 months. Thanks."


"I have been taking Neurontin 800 mg 4 times a day for several years. I can say it helped me in more ways than one. Been underweight for most of my life, and over the years Neurontin has helped me get an appetite back. Now I am the right weight for my height. Also, after 4 years addicted to Suboxone and Klonopin, I never would have been able to get clean without Neurontin. Overall I feel that Neurontin has saved my life. I haven't attempted suicide since I started on it. But for SEVERE bi-polar like I have, counseling really does help."


"Absolutely terrible birth control. I've been on this for 4 months and had nothing but problems. Nonstop bleeding and vagina blood clots (6 in one day and largest the size of an egg). Horrible pain like my right ovary was going to blow up inside of me. My boobs have swollen so much (2 cup sizes) and hurt. Gained 15 pounds. Have cravings and bad mood swings. I feel like this has too many hormones or too much released. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT GETTING THIS. Constant problems and it's not worth it. I was on the Depo shot for 5 years and had no problems but the Nexplanon is TERRIBLE."


"Oh my gosh. I've been using this since August and I thought my skin was truly hopeless. My skin is CLEAR. When I was done with the three months, I still had cysts and I was crying all the time bc I missed my skin. My skin was never this bad, just comedonal acne and random pimples on my cheeks. While on epiduo, I experienced like 15 cysts on my cheeks and forehead and I was in pain. BE PATIENT EVEN AFTER THE THREE MONTHS. I just started doxy but my skin has been clear for like 3 weeks and it's beautiful and glowing. Thank you epiduo! You ruined my skin and saved it at the same time. It's so soft and I have really red scarring but it's apparently "SO SUPERFICIAL." None of the scarring is deep."


"Was prescribed 6 over 3 day no appetite severe burning of my sinuses slow working"


"Great stuff, best blood pressure medicine so far. Almost no side effect, alas libido. If you are a jealous type and its killing you that your girlfriend is partying without you ... this is the medicine to take. It reduces sexual desire to a degree where you don't care. It's strange, because I have (had) a good sex drive. It's almost like the female world lost her power over me."


"This is a terrific medication for me. I take it for excessively heavy monthly periods. Normally they are so heavy I can't leave the house for a day or two. This really has helped me to deal with the problem without taking hormones or having to have a hysterectomy. I have had no side effects whatsoever and find it very tolerable."


"I have only been taking the Methotrexate since the end of September and I am on 25mg per week. I was also prescribed the Folic Acid but can't take that as it causes such an upset stomach that I stopped it all together.  So far the only symptoms I have had were in the beginning and that was feeling nausea, and very tired the day after taking it. It has helped with the swelling and pain and I have no pain in my knees anymore and just a bit in the hands, wrists and my one foot."


"I suffered from severe asthma from childhood till I was 50. Several attacks required hospitalization and I was on every medicine known to treat asthma over this time period including extended periods of prednisolone, rescue inhalers, plus theophyline, Alupent, etc. I started taking Advair in 2002 and since that time have had no attacks whatsoever. For the first 3 years I still carried my Albuterol inhaler but finally had the confidence to stop carrying them. A momentous day indeed and not without some trepidation. I have suffered no side effects at all and this medicine has been a life changer and potentially a life saver for me. I hope it can do the same for you. I never believed I would be rid of asthma but I am."


"I was taking Natazia for about a year 1/2 or more. It wasn't until recently that my doctor's office stopped carrying this as a free sample. I was put on a different form of birth control that my insurance covers. I have been on this for a month and I noticed fairly noticeable slight differences in the two. I almost never had periods on Natazia which I thought must be a bad thing. I also never had PMS on Natazia which was fortunate. Now on this new birth control I feel like I am 18 again emotion-wise. My period was actually a NORMAL period like I used to get when I was never even on birth control. I never even used tampons on Natazia because it was so light. I had to go buy tampons for the first time in 6 months or more due to discontinuing Natazia."


"I started takeing Adipex in April of 2009 at 253 pounds. I have lost a total of 45 pounds. It works great, I have so much energy, I walk two miles everyday except for Sunday. My doctor brags on me all the time about my success. I am going to keep losing until I lose 100 pounds. The pill really does work and I eat what I want, just small portions and no soda at all just water. Good luck! Hope it works for you."


"My experience is always abnormal from anyone. My BP goes down, I feel normal instead of fatigued, and I lose 10-15 lb per mo until they stop. It doesn't change my diet as I am not a big eater, and I always exercise. I just have a non-existent metabolism. I lose about 40 lb, and then gain it back w/o it. In VA I took it for a year, first few months every day, then I took it every other day. It kept my weight at a normal range, and my BMI was great. I wish I could take it year round."


"This was my first colonoscopy prep and it was not bad at all! The reviews really scared me. The stuff doesn't taste that bad. It's like super intense salty cherry sweet tarts. I refrigerated the Suprep and the water to mix it with. That really seemed to help. I used a straw and sucked it down within a few minutes. First movement came in about 30 minutes and tapered off about 3 hours later."


"Took this for UTI nausea and bad headaches kicked in within an hour of taking every pill. Did work for UTI but I would not take this again."


"My doctor recommended 5 mg to help with some insomnia. I couldn't stay asleep. It had the opposite effect of what it should have done. Awoke feeling dizzy, nauseous and also had a headache for most of the next day. I couldn't go to work the next day from feeling so sick. Definitely not for me."


"I have been taking Haldol for a long time and it has controlled my condition very well."


"I have had the Nexplanon for almost 1 year. It is great! I had an awful time with birth control pills and couldn't remember to take them. The numbing shot for the insertion hurt and I was sore and bruised for a few days. I did have spotting for a few months and some moodiness. After a about 4 or 5 months, it stopped and I have no periods! I certainly recommend it and will probably get it again when it's time to remove it. Like all medicine, it's not for everyone, but I like it the best of all birth control I've used."


"I am a 36 year old African American female graduate student who is currently applying to med school, while working full-time in a hospital pharmacy. I had been on Effexor 150mg daily for several years for depression. Last March (2011), I was diagnosed with ADHD by a LCSW with 30 years of experience in the field. Initially, I was on Concerta 36mg, but switched to the less expensive Adderall XR 20mg daily. I find that my concentration is much better, but I have lost 30 lbs. & have a decreased libido. After taking Adderall XR 20mg for only 3 months, I saw significant improvements in my MCAT score (8th MCAT attempt)! This year, I am will definitely obtain a competitive score & finally secure my spot in med school. THANKS ADDERALL XR!"


"I have been taking Valtrex as a suppression for 2 years right after my initial Hsv2 outbreak, which was THE WORST pain of my life, urinary retention, had to wear a catheter. I refuse to come off this drug because it scared the living heck out of me. I never want to go through that EVER again. Valtrex is my savior drug. My gyno put me on it right after the initial. Cleared me up fast and I have zero side effects (I literally don't even know I've taken the drug) I asked if I can stay on it, as I am more terrified of getting anything like my initial outbreak. Since I have been on Valtrex I have not had any outbreaks but 1 little sore per year will pop up.I even skip days sometimes, but if I do I have this constant itch. Keeps Hsv2 away."


"I got diagnosed with genital herpes last year around september and I got prescribed acyclovir and the initial outbreak was HELL!  I was in so much pain with teeny tiny barely visible blisters around private area.   But anyways,  I started taking the pills,  3 a day and after a couple of days,  the outbreak cleared up completely.  I feel tingling around my bits like every month,  when my period comes on and take the pills and the tingling goes away with a small blister barely noticeable.  The pills don't cure the outbreaks but they do make them bare able and waaaaaaay less annoying.  Sometimes you'll forget completely about it."


"It always gets the job done soon when you first start taking the medication."


"My close friend's very healthy 12 year old daughter was on Solodyn for what I would consider mild to moderate acne.  A few weeks ago she started having significant stomach pain.  They thought it was lactose intolerance, then maybe gluten intolerance.  The pain worsened.  Then she became severely constipated.  The doctors did all types of GI testing.  She began vomiting uncontrollably for days on end.  Only upon going to the ER did they find after some blood work specifically checking for liver problems, that she had elevated enzymes.  Scans showed liver enlargement.  They took her off of the Solodyn.  A few days later her liver is showing improvement and she can eat a bit.  Official diagnosis was drug induced liver damage from the Solodyn."


"Right now I am currently on my second pack. My nurse recommend this. I'm a beginner, I'm still nervous about this though. A little bit of history, I had TERRIBLE irregular period, and I'm sexually active. After the first pack, my period came and gone exact when it should be (which is the last 7 days). My mild acne seem to be SLOWLY cleaning up. Plus side is it helps my partner and I saving money from buy boxes of condoms. I saw quite a few reviews about breast growing, that hasn't happened to me but I'm hoping maybe later on. Side effects are just cramps and I noticed that I get drunk a lot easier and faster than normally would. I would give it a 10 but I'm only on my 2nd pack so not so sure yet. However ladies, EVERYONE is DIFFERENT. But it doesn't hurt to try out."


"I joined  weight loss program and I take this medication 1 pill at 6am and 1 pill at 11am. It really suppresses my appetite well. I weight in every Wednesday and my weight loss for the Month of May totals 26.4lbs

week#1 10.2lbs - no exercise

week#2 4.2lbs- no exercise

week#3 7.2lbs- 2 days of exercise

week#4 4.8lbs - 4 days of exercise

Overall the medication works well with a high protein diet and minimal exercise."


"I use Voltaren since I was 30 years old due to ankylosis spondylitis pain . I am now 56. I use to take 100 mg  SR per day. For the last 3 years I have reduced to 1x50D mg  per day and really feel very comfortable. I found it very effective and  I didn't noticed  any side effects yet. I think that Voltaren helped me to keep my ankylosis under contol. Doctor told me to avoid using it for so long but the pain was coming back the next day. I don't know what problems I may face in future but my life quality is good and I am happy."


"My panic attacks used to be so severe in the same year that I experienced them, that I was almost rushed to the hospital because my family was worried. My heart would pound so fast and hard. I literally thought it was going to explode. By my heart beating uncontrollably for panicking, my chest would hurt a lot and I would get so dizzy and lightheaded. After a year and a half of the horrible random attacks, I was prescribed Celexa and my life has been amazing. I no longer have worries and in the 2 months that I have been on it, I have not had 1 attack since.
I highly recommend Celexa to those who experience panic / anxiety attacks. "


"I have been on Belviq for almost a month.  I am down 20lbs.  I am 5'10 36yr old Mother of two, starting weight 265. Now at 245!! I also had to take a week off of pills because I couldn't afford to get refill after the free trial.

 I can not say enough positive things about this medication. I have barely any appetite, and when I do eat it's about a quarter of the serving size.   I haven't had any side effects, and am exited to continue this weight loss journey.

My goal is to get down to 170lbs, and as long as this medication continues to curb my appetite this much, I know I'll be able to reach my goal.

I would say without hesitation that Belviq is a non surgical equivalent to gastric bypass surgery!"


"Suboxone changed my life!  Is it that magic pill that everyone is looking for that solves all of our problems?  No. If you don't change things about yourself, and or  change your behavior, you'll just be a drug addict with character defects on Suboxone.  If you are an addict, like me, then you know what its like to be a slave to a drug.  Its an insane,  non-stop,  & endless quest to get our drug of choice every day.  Suboxone makes it possible to not live that way.  Wish they had generics though."


"The reasons am did a review on this is because of the comfort I got from reading other reviews in my moment of panic, in hopes that mine will comfort another. Took Ella after a few hours after unprotected sex (bad Idea) and I was a few weeks from my next period. My cycle was fairly consistent and you could only imagine the sheer panic of missing my period for 5 days. Relief only came the next morning when my period resume.I was panicked because this was the longest I had gone without my period and I had no symptoms associated with taking Ella so I assumed it didn't work.All I will advice is be patient, not only does Ella work, but there were very few symptoms. Very effective, definitely recommend it."


"I am thirteen weeks pregnant and have been taking this medicine since 6 weeks. At first I didn't notice any difference but one day my nausea disappeared. Completely! I thought that the medicine had nothing to do with it since I was sick for Two weeks while taking it. 3 times I have forgotten to take it l and spent the following day puking. This medicine has given me my life back. I have two younger kids at home and I don't have the time to be sick."


"I have been taking this pill for almost a year, probably by far the worst birth control I've ever taken (side effects wise).  This pill makes you bleed and spot ALL the TIME. I take it at the exact time every single day and yet somehow my period will start like 2 weeks before I'm supposed to get it and it will last for like a week of just pure spotting. This is verrrrrry annoying and inconvenient for a woman with a boyfriend. You  never know if one day you're just going to start bleeding or not. Periods are just as bad as before I was on the pill, cramps, bloating, and heaviness of bleeding varies. I also have almost a non existent sex drive which sucks. Also I have been having stomach issues on and off since I've been taking this."


"I take Vicodin for back pain and it does take the edge off."


"If the purpose the taking gabapentin is to hurl you into a state of psychosis then it gets a ten because this is a very real side effect of this drug. The Pfizer company does not want you to know that it can and has caused many people to go into a psychotic state. Not for a day mind you  but for as yet an indeterminate amount of time.They put on the warning do not abruptly stop this medication, but they don't tell you why. "


"Severe diarrhea after starting."


"My son tried every prescription spray out there for his allergies. QNasl finally worked for him! He loves that it's not a drippy wet spray- it's more like a fine powder. It stays where it needs to be. He loves it. I can tell when he forgets to use it because he has a runny nose and watery eyes again. Only occasionally when pollen counts are extremely high does it still gives him breakthrough runny nose. Most of the time it's as if he doesn't have terrible allergies at all. Worked miracles for us!"


"I am ten years sober now and I also took Campral when I hit bottom and started my recovery. I took Campral in conjunction with a program of sobriety, AA. I believe Campral helped me with my uphill battle when I started. I had been drinking regularly for over 30 years."


"Was diagnosed as hypothyroid and started immediately on Armour. Actually gained weight on it, despite strict diet and exercise. Always felt very bloated in abdomen while taking it and still felt tired. During the time I was on it, they reformulated it and I felt even worse. Switched over to a combination of Levoxyl and Cytomel. Felt more energetic and even lost a bit of the weight.  Armour may work well for some but it just didn't do anything for me."


"I suffer from IBS and haven't gone to the toilet properly in 9 days. I have taken Dulcolax before so I  know the pains can be intense but somehow when time passes and you haven't taken them in a while you think I'll give them another go but NEVER again! I took 2 tablets around 6pm. It is now 22.40 and I'm in agony I mean severe stomach cramps and not even any BM what a waste of time and the pain is just so bad! Please be very careful when taking these and would advise if you suffer from severe constipation take a some thing else and drink plenty of water. I can't even go to bed as the pain is too intense. Please avoid!"


"We generally use the prednisone (Deltasone is the brand name) for our chronic lung disease patients. It seems to be effective for opening the air ways, but it is not for immediate rescue. We generally use it to keep the airway open after we give something like albuterol initially. Some things to keep in mind, your blood sugar may be checked because cortisones (which is what this is) can cause hyperglycemia. Also, cortisones can cause water retention and weight gain. Generally, over a long period of time, I have seen it also affect skin tissue, but it is better to be able to breath."


"Vyvanse has changed my life, for the better. It gives me the motivation and confidence I need to complete tasks that otherwise would be daunting and unappealing. Talk to your doctor first to make sure you actually would benefit from it. The only down side is how expensive it can get if you're not covered."


"Wonder stuff wIth little to no side effects IF taken at migraine onset! So important and I can not stress enough that it must be taken immediately! If it hasn't worked for you ask yourself if you waited too long before taking it. I carry it with me every where because i never know when I'll need it. Sometimes I'm stupid and think, "I'll just try and tough it out, I don't want to waste the good stuff.... " So dumb, last time I ended up with a three day migraine that I could have prevented. I wasted like 8 pills trying to manage it, whereas two at onset would have eradicated it altogether. Note: these still help to reduce the pain of an existing migraine better than anything else I've tried, but I'm am still cooped up in my room avoiding light, sounds and all stimuli that might make it worse."


"I am not having any (-) side effects, and it is working really good for me!"


"Being diagnosed with IC was a life changer. I got depressed, didn't want to leave my house unless I would be close to a bathroom. I would have emergencies at work and get awful flares where I had to see me and get a cocktail which only lasted until I peed it out. I have an abnormally small bladder and also urethral structure. I have a severe case of the IC and Elmiron saved my life. I get a moderate flare here and there if I splurge and have a coffee, which use to be my life. I don't drink alcohol at anymore. Really only water now. Spicy foods give me flares. But on Elmiron they are tolerable and way less frequent. I'm so thankful for this drug as I've tried everything else. I always went into retention (which would burn me up) I love this."


"I had sex on the day of my ovulation. I took a plan b as instructed, no later then 8 hours. I am now 5weeks pregnant. I have done some research and I found that if you are ovulating it will only delay it. So the next three days the sperm can still get to the egg. I'm happy but I'm fortunate to be in a good place... Just be careful out there!"


"I commenced Byetta 5ug/mL 10 days ago. I experienced no side effects and as this dose was not quite bringing my blood sugar levels into the therapeutic range, my consultant increased the dose from 5 to 10ug/mL after one week.  I have now been on the higher dose for 3 days and continue to feel extremely well with no side effects.  On diagnosis of my type 2 diabetes three weeks ago I decided to stop snacking between meals and after dinner and to be more committed to my chosen exercise regime.  I have lost 6Kg (6.2Kg is 14 pounds) in three weeks.  For me Byetta has contributed to a feeling of satiety which enables me to use this positive side effect to my advantage and only eat when feeling hungry and never between meals or after dinner."


"My doctor gave me a 30 day trial of Strattera with incrementing doses each week. It started with 10mg and the last week was 60mg. I didn't really notice a positive difference with any dosage but I did have an extremely detailed and horrific dream the first two nights but after that my sleeping was normal. As far as side effects other than the two night terrors I was slightly constipated. It took a lot more effort to make myself do #2. I'm currently on Adderall XR and it seems to do the trick."


"What happened to this formula?!? I've never had issues with this brand before. And just like most of the comments on here, I inserted the cream and everything was fine until I stood up, the cream naturally started to leak out, and immediately it started to burn but it was the unbearable itchiness that sucks. Then I came on this site and now wonder if there has been a bad batch! Complaints are almost all recent--July 2017. I used ice to help with relief... Monistat, what's going on?!? Lot # on box: R41816 Exp: 02/2019"


"Cymbalta is from the devil  Evil, evil drug. Trying to stop it is hell on earth. Severe anxiety and emotional pain.
Horrible dreams. I am an absolute wreck. Didn't take it for three days and was in extreme trouble. They don't make the dose low enough so you can get off it. Lowest is 30mg. Load of garbage."


"My doctor prescribed Doxy for and put me on 100mg twice a day for 4 months. So far its 2 months and already there is very big improvement in that am confident with my face and every one is commenting on how flawless my skin is. "


"I suffer with fibromyalgia mostly in my upper back and both sides of my neck. Flector patches ARE INCREDIBLE! I had been receiving pain shots for years to relieve the muscle pain that in turn caused me to have migraine/tension headaches more than 15 days per month. The major problem is that Insurance does NOT cover these patches and I have drained my Dr. of all of their samples.  I highly recommend them if you can afford them!"


"For anyone experiencing nausea and upset stomach, I went through the same thing for the first 2 weeks, which made me almost give up on it.  I asked my doctor for a script for an anti-nausea, and  I started taking that(Zofran), with a pepto bismol tablet immediately before I gave the injection,  It did the trick and I was able to continue on with increasing my dose. I did have to take a Zofran and pepto bismol for about a week before I was fine without it.  However, I've lost 15 pounds in about. month, but for the past month I haven't lost anything, nor gained. Has anyone gotten over the platteau?  I've been on it for 2 months"


"It stopped the stomach pains just fine BUT it caused extreme depression and hopelessness. After about 14 days I left it off and started seeking something better as the emotional issues it created were exhausting."


"I've been using Lutera for a bout a month now and I hate it! My acne is so bad

On this brand. Although it does protect against pregnancy which is good. I haven't gotten a period yet. Just a little bit of spotting. When I 1st started taking Lutera I got real bad body aches... And I feel very moody... Will be talking to my doctor about switching back to Aubra"


"Was a 2.5/3 pint a day vodka drinker for 3 yrs. I'd medicate on it. 2 or 3 shots every couple hours around the clock. I started needing the vodka to stay asleep at night. I'd wake up with the pounding heart and shakes. And my guts were sour (constant diarrhea). I couldn't go more than 3 hrs without it or I'd go into full blown paranoia and anxiety attacks. I'm afraid of drugs. I hate pharmaceuticals. And I was DONE drinking so I tried to wean myself over and over again and failed hard. Finally broke down and went to detox. Librium was their go to. The stuff is amazing. Made detox a breeze to be honest. I wasn't even tired on it. I felt normal to be honest. No shakes, no paranoia, slept good (vivid dreams). 25mg 3 times day for 10 days."


"I started the pack on Sunday and experienced diarrhea and mild itchiness. I'm on my last day and I'm feeling really good. This medicine seemed to work very well. I was hesitant at first, but it seems to clear things up very well."


"I have been taking Qsymia for 6 months now...on the highest dose at this point.  I have been taking it exactly how it is supposed to be taken per my doctor.  I have physical limitations (bad knees) that keep me from being able to exercise much.  Walking is about all I am able to do.  I did not change my diet radically, the Qsymia changed it for me making me want to eat healthier because the crap food had negative effects on me and/or tasted like crap.  Becoming soda-free was the best thing that ever happened to me.  To date I have lost 83 pounds and have 57 more to go and know I will lose it with the help of this.  Would I recommend this to people?  Absolutely!!  Is it worth the tingling in the feet?  The dry mouth? YES!"


"A half of one of these helps me a lot. I have these feelings of overwhelming anxiety. I feel like I just robbed a bank and the cops are on thier way or my mind is racing with bad scary thoughts. This helps take them away and calm me and also when someone is attacking me at work, making me feel like I would normally explode or do/say the wrong thing, it helps me not to and to stop and think for a minute before I react. Sometimes I really need to do this but my normal self cannot. Thank God for these as they also help with much more and make me feel more normal and able to be in the world with others."


"Just started contrave today. Wish me luck.!!!"


"I had interferon with robaviron in 1993 with failure results, so when I heard about harvoni I was interested but skeptical.  The cure rates made me try it since my insurance would cover it for 12 weeks. At the end I'm glad it was over because I wasn't getting any sleep and going to work was getting harder for 10 hours a day.  I took both 6 robavirin and 1 harvoni daily, and the last 4 weeks I took 4 robavirin.  It didn't matter I still couldn't sleep.  I waited 12 weeks and the cure was in, but the nurse made it clear to stay off of alcohol and watch out for being around blood.  I had this virus for 36 years so you know I'm very happy with the results."


"Effexor worsened my depression. Made me feel exhausted all the time and impossible to be able to wake up in the mornings. I was unable to concentrate. My mood worsened and my motivation to do anything lessened. My depression got worse every time they increased my dose."


"I take mine every day around the same time but sometimes it's hard to get it right on the dot. I definitley get very emotional and in my first 3 months had basically constant spotting but now since then I haven't gotten spotting or period bleeding and it's been about 4 months, it practically eliminated my period completely besides some symptoms like bloating. I would recommend it if you willing to stick out the first month or two while your bodies adjusting"


"Yeah it was hardly getting used down here.  I love it now"


"Buspar has worked great on my mild to moderate anxiety. I take it in combination with Ativan (as needed), but generally find I do not need the Ativan more than a couple times a month. Buspar has worked very well for me and has the great advantage of not being habit forming, so I feel safe taking it on the long term.

That being said, it takes about 3 weeks to kick in fully. It also makes me dizzy if I take it differently than normal (with food as opposed to without, vice versa). It would also not be a good choice for someone with moderate to severe anxiety, as it is not a very strong drug. I take it in combination with a good diet and exercise, but doubt it would work as well without them."


"For bipolar 1 Lamictal has worked wonders for me. I did have to watch my moods because with all mental health medicines it can make side effect better or worse and it did enduce me into a state of depression. Other than that I have been on it for 9 months and has been doing good so far."


"I am a Helicopter pilot for the US Army and I have Chronic upper back pain.  I am on the 200mg Ultram and it is a life savor.  It still allows me to fly and controls the pain.  My only issues with this drug is it tends to make me itch and I can't take it before bed or i will be awake all night.  I have been taking it as needed for the past 6 months."


"I recently switched from Loestrin to Zovia. Loestrin make me cramp really bad when I spotted.  And I took them everyday at the same time. I also would spot for about a week. When I started taking Zovia which has been for a month and a half it made nauseous and had/have tenderness of the breast. Nausea went away and my skin cleared up but I am still experiencing tenderness of the breast.. they hurt really bad and my nipples are sore. My breast have also enlarged to a cup size. I don't know if this will be for only a short time or will I continue having this soreness. But overall I like it minus my breast being sore and huge!!"


"I had a health issue that printed severe anxiety 2 plus years ago. I tried a couple of SSRI's.  They made me feel worse. This is the ONLY medication that helps me to feel normal. Also battled insomnia for 15 years and took nothing for it. Now with Klonopin I sleep. I also have a fear of medication /building up tolerance but physical impact of stress I have been told is worse for my mind and body. The life saving plus no side effect profile of this medicine is amazing. I just hope I can continue to take it long term because without it I would be in far worse shape.  Thank you for all the rave reviews nice to know I am not alone in my love for this medicine. And this is from a medication averse, workout everyday, eat right person."


"I first started birth control around 2004, age 22.  I tried the Pill, and all it did was make me spot and have periods that lasted for weeks- so I stopped using it. Then I tried the NuvaRing- that worked for about 3 months then the spotting started again.  I then had no birth control until August of 2010.  I wasn't sexually active- so didn't worry about it.  I had been told when I first tried to get the IUD in 2004 that you can't have one unless you've had at least one child, so I gave up.  It was either between Mirena or Paragard-since I have heavy menstrual cycles and cramps and PMS, I chose the Mirena. I had the first one in August of 2010 and my second one in September of 2015.  I have had no bad experience with it- my periods are light"


"Worst experience ever.  I took one capsule and two hours started diarrhea.  I only took one more tablet 12 hours later. I had diarrhea for 4 weeks.  I had hemorrhoid flair up.  Never again will I take this drug. I think it took about 4 months to get my gut straightened out. Be very cautious of this drug"


"Started taking uloric after allopurinol gave me neuropothy in my feet and kept me up at night.  First drug to get uric acid below 6...so happy doctor.  I'm 65 and have only had 2 major gout attacks and never want to experience that again.  The expense has driven my drug costs into the "donut hole" and can't use the discount card due to the many restrictions.  Way to expensive but don't want gout again."


"It works! My doctor said to be careful of it though and NOT to ever take more than prescribed. Follow doctors instructions and works great for bad headaches."


"I have been on this for four days. Feeling much better. Light headed and tired with that awful taste in my mouth.   I wish that they could make drugs with much less side effects"


"Pramipexole has worked great foe me cant live without them  i take 4 a day would like to know  has anyone tried a diet plan to help restless legs as everyone does not like taking medication please reply"


"Do not use. It did not work as an effective birth control. Was successfully on the pill for 5 tears got pregnate on the shot."


"I was on this for almost 4 years. It worked great, my periods were really heavy and I had a lot of cramping but when I started taking this I had little to no period and no cramping. But this past year I've realized it has made me very moody. It and some other factors broke up my engagement because I was so moody and just a nightmare to be around sometimes. It made me bipolar. I stopped taking it a month ago and my boyfriend says he can notice a difference in my mood. Now I'm back to heavy periods and lots of cramping. It feels like I have to choose between my relationship and my BC. My insurance paid for some of this, but I still had to pay $50 a month. But I would call my Dr and they would give me a discount card and samples."


"I've been on Trinessa for years as the generic to OrthotriCyclin.  It was free compared to the expensive version.   I have not noticed issues with this pill at all,  at least not that are very noticeable.   I think the mood swings and emotional distress others are mentioning would happen with or without any BCP because of PMS.  My skin breaks out only the week before my cycle starts, but nothing crazy.   I don't have breast tenderness,  cramps or discomfort either.   The periods are light and painless as well.   I do notice the bloat like clockwork a week prior to the period,  but it is what it is.   I have not gotten pregnant while on the pill though my guy and I are highly fertile, so it's obviously working.   Overall I'm happy with it."


"So far i am really liking this medication. i am only on the second refill of Q and i have already lost 16 lbs. the only real side effects i am having are tingling of the hands and feet from time to time and if i happen to wake up at night i have a harder time falling asleep. thats never been  problem before. ive always been great with sleep. i love that im not always hungry and needing to eat. i get full so quick and hardly eat."


"I've been in this BC since late Aug. I sadly had to have with a medical abortion 4 1/2 months in due to health problems. I started another BC 7 days after my procedure, but I wanted to switch back to my old BC (lo lo) when I finished the 1st pack of the other BC. I've had periods and the only BC related side affect has been tender breasts, which has only started recently. I was nervous I may be pregnant again (I am still recovering from the damage and severe weight loss caused by the pregnancy), but she reassured me it is normal to not have periods. She said during the procedure, they scraped my uterus lining clean, so I started with no lining & the BC didn't have to break anything down. I have been emotional, but I'm happy w/ the progress"


"I have chronic pain and have tried everything and this works best. Roxicodone is a great "break through" medicine. I take 8, 30mg pills a day as needed.  I also take 3 80mg pills of Oxycontin 3x a day for constant pain control.  This is a very large amount but after years it is needed. "


"I am still trying to find the right birth control for me but this IS NOT IT. I was an emotional wreck, constantly crying, fighting with my boy friend and had no energy whatsoever. Only pro is it made my bleeding become normal again, also had zero sex drive and my breasts did not grow like all other pills have made them."


"This is an ABSOULUTE LIFE SAVER if you have bad anxiety or having a panic attack. Would be lost without it"


"I was talking to my sister about my bad reaction to a medication I took 15 years ago called Compazine. I took this prescribed medicine while at home. I remember my experience like it was yesterday. At first I felt a twitching in my jaws. All at once, my bottom jaw started going to the right, and my top jaw started going to the left. I could not stop it and I could not talk. In fact, my jaw felt like it was trying to break off my face. I remember the emotional and physical pain. Me and my husband were both crying, because we both didn't understand what was happening! My husband ended up taking me to another clinic, and they admitted me at once. So BEWARE! Just from talking - I found out this same medication hurt my sister just last year."


"Took my first pill after going to the urgent care for anxiety due to stomach issues. I took the first pill that night it kinda helped me sleep. Awoke the next day around 1pm started to get an uncomfortable feeling. Felt super anxious, jittery, cold feet, sweaty palms, tingling sensation in hands and feet. Warm sensation in chest. Felt as if all my nerves in my stomach was in a knot. The more I took the worse it got. Stop taking med 3 days after started and slowly begin to feel like myself at 24-48 hours. Worst feeling ever"


"It was good."
