"I have had vertigo/Menieres' since 2003 and Valium seems to be the only medicine that helped me. It takes the edge off of the dizzy feeling the frustration that goes alone with it. My experience is different than most, in that I get dizzy when chopping veggies, washing dishes, sometimes driving on roads with hills (there aren't many where I live thank God!) But it comes and goes and happens almost every day. I think I would probably freak out if my doctor said I couldn't take it any more. "


"I was looking for reviews for a while trying to find someone who took the pill as late as I did and I couldn't find any so this is my experience. I Had sex a week and a half ago on April 22nd. We didn't use protection and I am not on birth control. It was very in the moment and honestly we had been drinking so I wasn't sure on how sharp his judgement was on pulling out. I ended up taking plan B the following Tuesday night on the 25th so almost 72 hours later which was really cutting it close. I was nervous about it because I had to go to work and still had classes but I ended up feeling fine.  I had absolutely no side effects and got my period right on time which was one week after taking the pill."

"I am 18 and this is my first time taking birth control. I took the pill to be safe for when I go to college, and to get rid of my acne and regulate my periods. The first month I was doing fine, minimum to no weight gain, increase in breast size, but no change to my acne. However, when my period came, I experienced the worst cramps I have ever had! They were so bad I had to call out sick from work since I could not move without being in pain. My period was also a lot heavier, and it was different. I felt extremely nauseous and faint. Not to mention scared because the flow was so heavy. I am now on my second month and my cramps are worse and my mood swings are bad."


"*DISCLAIMER* I only used tri-sprintec for 8 days.
I discontinued use because of the side-effects.  I had previously used NuvaRing, which did not give me any noticeable side-effects, but with tri-sprintec I was nauseous all eight days, felt bloated, and had severe mood depression.  The reason I stopped so early on was the depression.  I'm a student and it just wasn't worthwhile to me to be dealing with depression on top of a heavy course load."


"Hi folks. Have been on Vega inj. For 2months. Most hallucinations, auditory, visual, and mental gone. Has been a game changer for me as my life was completely unmanageable before. Still not leaving home much and have gained a few pounds nothing to drastic but it beats having conversations with people only I can see and not having a choice about it.  Also my insurance wouldn't cover it, it's about $2000usd for 1month inj.   Thanks, hope this helps."


"Following on from my previous comments, it has been three weeks since I had the injections and the right knee drained (twice). After resting and icing for two weeks, I am now back to normal. No more popping/clicking. Started walking last week and slowly built up the distance. Walked 8km this morning and had no problems. Just needed to stretch before and after, which I should be doing anyway. Hope to get another 9 months out of it. Am willing to put up with 2-3 weeks of pain to get 9 months of relief (and a life)."


"Got on Microgestin 1.5/30 after getting married (had sex with husband before we were married, but wanted to start birth control to eliminate condoms or pulling out for him).
PERIOD: I had a short but consistent & heavy period beforehand, and now it's VERY light or non existent in the off week. Didn't get pregnant so overall effective.
MOOD/LIBIDO: the hard part is being able to determine if my mood, weight gain, what feels like depression (never have experienced depression before), and decreased libido (LEAST cool) have been primarily due to the pill, of my life change/transition. Looked here today due to my first acne spike (2 huge pimples a day on face &chin) since starting to see if this has caused acne for others."


"I had a horrible sore throat and pain in all my body, after using the first tablet, I noticed the difference. By night I had no sore throat and no muscle pain. It worked amazingly fast BUT the side effect I experienced was extreme bitterness in my mouth which caused me to wake up in the middle of night & wash my mouth, eat some fruit & wash again & went back to sleep but the next morning I woke up with the same taste in my mouth & it continues the same way all along. I also experienced some nausea."


"After a stressful event in my mid 20's I experienced full-blown anxiety.  I had hypochondriasis to be exact. I thought I had every serious illness you can imagine.  I finally hit rock bottom when I was missing a ton of work due to panic attacks and endless doctor visits.  My doctor prescribed 10 mg of Lexapro.  I decided to cut the pill in half and only take 5 mg a day.  Such a small dose and it made a huge difference! It was a miracle that saved me from a very sad life of constant fear. Since taking the 1st pill, I never experienced another panic attack.  I am happy to report that I came off the medication a year ago and I am still anxiety free. I highly recommend it.  I had severe severe anxiety and all it took was 5 mg a day to fix it."


"Have been using Benicar 20mg for a couple of years now (age 47). Slight dizziness first week after hard exercise in sun (bike riding up steep hill, singles tennis in 85 degree sun). Doctor suggested taking at night before bedtime. Now no problems. Was 140 /95 . Now 122/70 still exercising (tennis, biking) 3-4 days per week without dizziness. Feels like no side effects. Love it."


"It works great. I was prescribed 10mg, but I cut them in half and take 5mg instead. Why? I only need to get that tired feeling, not to be knocked out like I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled out. You take it at night, get in bed right after you take it and wait for it to kick in. Of course you're going to get dizzy if you're looking at your phone or binge watching on Netflix, while it's kicking in. So don't do that, haha! If you're afraid that you'll get addicted to it, I mean come on, it's not like it's xanax . And if you are still afraid to take it, there's also this thing called "exercise." It makes you tired and the worst side effect is losing weight."


"I was in a car accident a year and half ago and suffered from lower back and sciatic pain ever since.  My pain management doctor prescribed Nucynta which worked great for the pain but made me extremely dizzy and sleepy which affected my ability to take it since I need to be alert and work and be with my kids.  Just recently switched to Vicodin which is working for the pain and only have mild sleepiness.  Work with your doctor to find the right fit for you."


"Thats sad so many people write so negative about this birth control. I on the other hand have had no issues I first got it in 2008 had it in all of the three years with a normal period and no side effects. After I got it out two months later I was pregnant.  My baby girl is healthy and 4 weeks now. I have gotten Implanon a second time because it worked so well the first time. I highly recommend it as I do to all my friends and family."


"I take one before bed which keeps me breathing easily during the night despite my allergies.  It also helps me get to sleep and stay asleep.  The active ingredient, dyphenhydramine HCL, you will find is the main ingredient in quite a few over the counter sleep medications so that should tell us something.  And Benadryl or a generic drugstore brand are cheaper and just as effective.  Have been taking this for over 20 years and have no side effects"


"I've taken a lot of meds in 19 years and took Depakote for around 1 yr.  Weight gain about same as Lithium. This drug gave me hallucinations at night and freaked me out big time. Beware. I didn't hallucinate before the drug and now that I've stopped it 6 months ago - no Depakote = no hallucinations"


"I had an infection that caused irritation to my trigeminal nerve in my face.  I had intense and constant pain on the right side of my face, from my lower eyelid to my bottom jaw, which lasted about 2 weeks.  It was worse than child birth, which I had done without pain relief!  At least labour pains end eventually.  I was given Tylenol #3s at first, which maybe lowered the pain from a 9/10 to an 8.5, and made me nauseated on top of everything else.  Eventually I cracked, I hadn't slept in days, and I went back to the doctor in tears.  I was then prescribed Toradol, and within an hour, my pain was at a 2/10! That was the first night I actually slept in two weeks. It was a life saver, I could not believe the difference it made for me."


"So I wanted to take the time to review this birth control, I had tried several before this one & none of them were the right one I would bleed days at a time through out the whole month on the other brands. Then one day my dr. told me to try this one, I read so many reviews & they were bad I was terrified to try it but you don't know until you try right? Well this is my 4th month on chateal & I couldn't be any more pleased. No weight gain, spotting, or mood swings. The only issue I have sometimes is bloating & breaking out but it goes away. If you struggle with break through bleeding I definitely recommend this & push the bad reviews out of the way & remember everyone is different."


"I suffer with post traumatic stress disorder from years of trauma and then the death of my mother really was the icing on the cake. I've also been dealing with physical ailments in the past 7 years, and panic attacks since I could remember. With all this going on, it's no wonder that I've became depressed and anxious about life. I am not the type of person who believes in medication without trying alternatives first. In the past I've tried other antidepressants to no avail. Was off of them for a year, but decided to go back on, trying Zoloft this time, when I became suicidal. That was the LAST straw. Been on 50mg for about a month, but started on 25mg a month prior. It LITERALLY saved my life. Don't give up! What one medication won't do for you another will."


"I was getting frequent outbreaks and was very miserable. I felt I would never be normal again. Started this treatment and it improved my daily and intimate life by a milestone. Maybe get a little thing or two in a year and very possibly not. If so its quickly resolved with these meds..I reccomend it. Give yourself and love a chance. I am still very worthy and so are you. There is a huge and scary stigma about it but you are still normal and so am I. Its a small complication we have to deal with until God provides a cure. In the meantime take care of yourself and your partner. Be careful and safe. But don't underestimate your worth like I did. Try this treatment."


"I've been taking this pill on and off for a while now. I say about a year. And until I read everyone else's review I've notice why I was moody for a while. Depression was bad I always thought my boyfriend didn't want me. My sex drive went up. I think my over all attitude was kind of trashy. Even if things were going ok the brighter side wouldn't make my day. I like it because I'm never questioning if I'm pregnant but it's best not to miss any pills where you have to take more then one at once because I became really sick...Hours of constant up chucking. I didn't notice no weight issues."


"Great. I've taken it twice and didn't experience any major side effects. Kicked in after 20-30 minutes, was fully ready to go at 60 minutes after. That said I did experience some side effects including:

-mild heartburn-like feeling during the first 1-2 hours after taking it.

-moderate heaviness/tightness in my jaw that lasted just about 12 hours after taking.

-some drowsiness

-some mild neck pain (which could have been the migraine)

-a tightness/tingling (very mild) in my forearms.

But I'm free and clear of the headache. Definitely plan on taking again"


"Experienced sudden severe pain in left abdomen & back a week ago. An ultrasound at the Gastroenterologist (yeah, I went to one..) singled out the culprit as a 5mm stone in left ureter close to VUJ.  I consulted a urologist a day after & he prescribed Tamsulosin (Flomax) 0.4mg each day in the night after meal. I used it for three days and got a CT KUB done since my pain wan't coming down much. - The CT KUB showed the stone intact at the same position (VUJ), The doctor suggested Laser Lithotripsy after two days. My pain stopped from that night & to check if stone got into bladder I went to a nearby diagnostic center & got another ultrasound scan done, the 5mm stone is gone!"


"It gave horrible stiffness in the back of my neck leading  down to my spine.
And I couldn't turn my head. The pain became on a scale of one to ten, a10 at times . I thought  I was having  a stroke...."


"As birth control it worked great because it made be feel protected all the time, and I'm awful at taking pills everyday, but side effect wise-it sucked. I bled for the entire 7 months I had it in my arm (except for 4 day out of the entire 7 months). I also cramped like a mad man ( the number one reason I started taking birth control years ago)  . It made me extremely emotional, and that's what made me take it out despite the other side effects. It was literally driving me crazy to the point where my family asked is maybe I should think about getting it taken out. I had a past of severe anxiety, and it made it even worse unfortunately. Good thing everyone's body chemistry is different, hopefully it will help someone else."


"I have used this medicine for almost a year (as needed) within my arsenal of other medicine to treat my bronchitis.  It is extremely effective.  I use the max dosage of 200 mg.  As far as I can tell I have had no side effects from this medication and usually I'm very sensitive to many medicines."


"Was first freaked out because I had no period, now I'm thrilled. I had normal periods for about four months, now nothing. No crazy side effects, no weight gain (that I didn't do to myself). Slight headaches occasionally, irritable occasionally too. But nothing dramatic. So stoked to not be pregnant, and not have a period."


"My son became aggressive when he hit puberty (age 11), so the psychiatrist put him on this. For the first 2 months I was happy with the results.  But his aggression started increasing, and he became extremely aggressive over the next year.  His psychiatrist attributed it to rising male hormones and kept increasing the dosage, until my son was on 8 mg/day.  I finally had to have my son hospitalized, as he was a danger to me and others.  I was fed up, so I changed psychiatrists.  She prescribed Abilify, but it took weeks to wean my son off the Risperdal.  However, once he was off it, he became the lovely boy he used to be.  Every child is different, so keep that in mind!"


"Medicine kept me from sleep. It had the opposite effect."


"I've been dealing with gout attacks for years. Throughout for some reason during the winter months, my feet really start to flare up? I've tried everything, from changing my whole diet to drinking cherry juice like its my day job. Nothing seemed to help. I went to the doctors, they prescribed me prednisone. After two hours of taking it, my ankle subsided. I went to bed, woke up feeling like a million bucks."


"Never again, first 10'days macrobid. Still had infection.  Put me on bactrim.  I was so sick after day 5. I missed 7 days of work, I think 10 days was to much. Had loose poop, neasea every day, dizzy, loss 7 lbs in 7 days and the worst was the dry eyes and mouth.  I felt like poo. I thought I would end up in hospital.  It even made me depressed!  Never again!"


"Worst cream ever, it literally burnt my face, I couldn't apply anything to my face for weeks because it was so painful, my skin became excessively flaky and sensitive I couldn't even wash it, because the skin was so sensitive. Waste of money"


"I ben taking 1,000mg a day .I split up 500 in morning and 500 at night for 3 months. I gained 35pounds in the first month. Its a great mood stabilizer,  but it only works part of the time.  I have the shakes ,acne , vision problems from it. I took topimax before it was great but I got kidney stones from it . I need to get another med that actually works!"


"As everyone knows kidney stones are very painful and very uncomfortable. My doctor prescribed me this medication to help to ease the pain. And it seriously works. I do not like taking pain medication, so I was pleased when I took this and it actually worked."


"I was diagnosed with uc in my twenties. For many years I maintained with various medications and only a couple of relatively minor flare ups.  Suddenly at age 56 I had a severe flare up that did not respond to prednisone. Removing colon was brought up. After much suffering and weight loss for about 3 months I was put on Remicade by my wonderful GI. Within a couple of weeks my condition began to improve. I am now almost 7 years with infusions every 8 weeks. I am very grateful for this medication, although I do wonder if my immune system is weakened. It really doesn't compare to almost dying or having major surgery. I know it doesn't work for everyone but for me it was a miracle."


"Been on Flomax for BPH for 2 yrs now. Its improved my urinary volume and flow rate tremendously. Most night, don't even get up at all. Better now that I take it at 10pm with a small snack. While it has also caused me to have dry ejaculations (my other half has not complained about this) , I can maintain erection and have multiple ejaculations."


"I started the depo in July to help with my endometriosis. First shot went fine, I didn't start bleeding until the end of August. From that point on its been hell. There was a time where I went a month without bleeding. I am due for my 5th shot in February. I highly doubt I will get it. It's not heavy bleeding but it's enough to drive you insane. I also had a myometmy (the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus) I'm not saying the depo caused a cyst but I got a cyst on my ovaries. I read someone else had one too. I'm just really over it. I rather just have a steady period each month and go from there. Honestly, this isn't worth it. And it's not even guaranteed it will help my endometriosis."


"I have been on Opana about three weeks now for severe, chronic pain. I used to be on 60mg of Oxy-Contin and I took the first dose prior to getting ready to leave for work, after that I would spend the next 10-20 minutes vomiting. Opana doesn't do that to me in a 20mg dose and I find the pain relief much more lasting and comfortable.  The only medicine I ever took better than Opana for chronic pain relief was the once a day ,now defunct Pallodan."


"Rebif has worked better than Avonex for me.  Still get some of the flu-like symptoms."


"I have tried many many medication to treat my severe and frequent migraines!! My only complaint is the price. It is cost-prohibitive to take as needed."


"I would just like to say, it is very important to know what other medications you are taking with this medicine. It can have very bad side effects.  I only took this medicine 2 times when I had a very bad interaction.  It was before they made it known not to mix an antidepressant with it and it took years to find out what really had happened other than a drug interaction.  I was on Paxil at the time, I wound up going to the hospital for them to tell me that everything was fine, but it took about a week before I was feeling normal.  My heartbeat was very rapid, I was delusional and uncoordinated.  It felt like my inside were burning from the inside out, but yet I felt a constant chill. I am not saying not to take this drug, but be careful."


"I had Implanon inserted May 2010, immediately after high school.  I chose Implanon because I am quite forgetful and the thought of hassle free 3 year birth control was like heaven!  Side effects? Lighter period slight depression and moody but nothing serious! Other than that the Implanon is perfect! I've had it removed today and I'm considering an alternate method for birth control.  ONLY because I don't want the implant for another 3yrs, yes you can have it removed before then but I want to go through the process again."


"I got the implant in October 2 months before I turned 18. Those 2 months were horrible. Nonstop bleeding, cravings, hunger, moodswings, everything. After that's I still had the mood swings and hunger. My periods would come twice a month but it was light spotting and only lasted about 4 days. I did gain weight but it was only because I couldn't control the hunger that was cause by the nexplanon. It's the first of June and I haven't had a period in 3 months, my skin is clear, and I'm not pregnant. Everyone's body is different and the side effects are different. Other than that this is a very effective method of birth control."


Prevention of Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease

"I'm 31, I have my tonsils and I have never had any problems with my ears/nose/throat. I was prescribed amoxicillin. The doctor said I was not responding to amoxicillin, the strep was antibiotic resistant, I now had 2 ear infections and was in danger of the strep causing heart or kidney damage. I take clindamycin 300mg 3X a day, I've been on it 3 days and will be taking it a total of 10 days.
I experienced diarrhea the first day only. Then again I am not eating much either.  My throat is improving, ears too. An added bonus is that my complexion is clear."


"This medicine has really helped me. I can focus in school, get my work done in time, and it controls my temper. This medicine tastes very horrible, but regardless it does a good job and keeps me steady. It also helps me sleep alot better at night. But I have been gaining a couple of pounds."


"Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!! I have been suffering from Hyperhidrosis for almost 10 years when a coworker suggested drysol. And to my surprise it actually worked!! I tried all the over the counter deodorants and they never did the trick but this did. I use about once a week and have no problems. If i do miss a dosage I do notice that the sweating is a little worse but then i just put it on that night and all is good. I would HIGHLY recommend this product!"

"It has been great for treating the stomach ulcers but my insurance will only pay for 90 days in a 6 month period."


"I'm a 54yo male. I started Contrave on Feb 9th at 236-pounds. Today (March 26) I weight 211-pounds... a 25-pound weight loss in 6 weeks! I've actually dropped a pant & shirt size! I haven't seen 211 on the scale in 25+ years!

Unlike many others, I've had no side effects what so ever.

In addition to Contrave, I am watching my carbs and drinking lots of water daily. I keep a food / drink diary and many days I must make myself eat additional food to increase my calorie intake.

I purchase my script at the pharmacy at Sam's Wholesale. It costs $92.05 a month (120 tablets) with the Contrave savings card. My insurance doesn't cover it.....

I have a follow-up appointment with my DR in 6 weeks. I'll post an update and report my progress."


"I started Loestrin over a year and a half ago, two months before my wedding, and it is a great pill. I did gain quite a bit of weight (but I attribute that to my love of fast food). Before going on this pill, I had absolutely horrible period cramps, terrible iron deficiency, and very excessive bleeding. I had few pimples. When I started the pill, my bleeding decreased a ton and I didn't feel lightheaded anymore, I have not had a single pimple since I started it, and cramps are nonexistent. I take the pill at the exact same time every night and have never forgotten. I'm careful to use extra protection 48 hours after starting white pills and before brown pills. I haven't gotten pregnant. Only negative- did decrease sex drive a LOT."


"This stuff is amazing! At first I had my doubts because in the first week my face became red, sore, dry and flaky. However, that is something that you have to put up with for a week or two. My skin is almost completely clear and I am up to about month 4 of using the gel. My advice is do not give up on the gel, keep using it and you will see improvements!"


"I have been on Yasmin for a few years and I will never come off it now. I tried so many different things to clear up my cystic acne. I had it for about 5 years mainly on my jaw line and nothing got rid of it. I tried different topical treatments, face washes, not wearing make up and different pills but nothing worked.

Within a month or so of being on Yasmin I noticed I wasn't getting any big spots. My skin was clearing up majorly and It has been a life saver since. I get the odd spot here and there now but I can deal with that."


"No problems with Vagifem. After using Yuvafem for a couple of weeks I started getting a discharge and feeling like I had an infection with burning and itching. It feels as if I am allergic to something in the drug. Going back to Vagifem."


"I have been on a few other anti-anxiety meds over the past decade.  The last one I was on was an absolute nightmare, so I vowed to NEVER take meds again.  Since then, I tried natural remedies, exercise etc. to combat this constant agitation and anxiety I have been feeling.  I couldn't really be in the moment and enjoy.  I've been on 10 mg. of Lexapro for over 2 months now and haven't felt this good in a forever (it seems).  I feel normal again and I actually want to get out and do things.  I see now how severely depressed/anxious I have been for so long.  This medication has given me my life back.  I have not gained any weight, thus far and have stayed the same.  Everyone is different, so I feel very lucky that this is working for me."


"I was diagnosed at 13 years old with grand mal seizures due to my period. Was put on Keppra 250 mg twice a day. I'm 21 now and still take it. It does control my seizures ( though I still get Aura's once in a while) and I have experienced all the side effects. My parents and friends will be the first to tell you how drastically I have changed from this medication. It makes you very irritable, tired, depressed, CRAZY mood swings and short tempered. Through the years, I've learned to handle it better. When I was 15 I stopped taking them to see if I grew it out of it, suggested by my neuro, and had 3 seizures in 3 days. Have been taking it every day ever since. Keeps me to live a normal life, like drive a car and go to school!"


"When I first started having my period I would get really sick. My flow has never been heavy and only lasts 5-3 days. I had acne really bad before I started the pill and the worst cramps of life. My doctor put me on the pill my sophomore year in high school to balance my hormone imbalance, help with periods, and help me gain a little bit of extra weight because of the fact that I was so athletic my body didn't have enough weight to support my menstrual cycle. I'm now a sophomore in college and actually use it as a way of contraception. My skin has been clear, my cramps gone, weight even, no period sickness, and I have not become pregnant while on it. The only bad thing is that I get really sick if I don't eat something with it."


"I've always suspected that when I use abreva, while it may shorten the life of one cold sore, another often developed right after it. It happened this time, so now I'm convinced. I had 3 different spots that took 9 days to heal and now that those are gone, I have another popping up!  I'm thinking you just have to let them run their course- maybe use a lysine product to reduce pain."


"Zocor 20mg/daay for two months. My sister's lipid level is normal

already and no any side effect."


"I had a pacemaker installed, was started on Amiodarone immediately after and left hospital 4 days later.  Three days later was returned to hospital with serious pulmonary problems.  Everyone thought I had pneumonia but it was side effects from the Amiodarone and the pulmonary Doctor replaced it immediately with another medicine.  "


"I have been on Zyprexa for over 2 months now. I take 7.5mg daily and also take Paxil and Ativan. All I can say is I'm much better than I was 2 months ago and have learned that I will have to be on medicines for the rest of my life. Small price to pay for piece of mind. I have gained 30lbs and need to exercise more to try and combat the weight gain. My doctor says we may go down in mgs here soon. But overall I have to say it helped pull me out of a major depression."


"I've been on this pill for about a year, personally, it helped stable my emotions. The pill I was on previously made it so that I was constantly emotional. Sobbing constantly, snappy and always frustrated, plus extremely tired. The only problems I have with Azurette, is that I now have extreme cramps, and I also have issues with my sex drive. My sex drive is super high, but sex is extremely painful if i'm taking my pill."


"I could describe my suffering for the past 43 years, but instead I'm going to sing the praise of what the next 43 years will be like.  For the first time ever, my skin is clear, itch free, and I sleep through the night.  I'm been on Dupixent for 4 weeks (just took 3rd injection yesterday)."


"I only took this 1 1/2 days because I had a severe bad reaction physically, but the second evening I was on it I felt so calm, peaceful, and happy, that I didn't even want to fall asleep knowing it would be gone in the morning. I would've given it a 10 if not the physical reaction. I really recommend trying this mood stabilizer for anyone with bipolar and it works in just a couple of days. I was just an unlucky one, again."


"Diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis in 2015, psoriatic arthritis a few months ago. I'm 35 years old and I am desperate for something to work. I've had 3 injections (one per fortnight) and haven't had any relief at all yet. Psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema all coexisting and it's a shame the PSA means I can't scratch myself. I really want to be able to come back later and say this has saved my life. No side effects though which is a positive!"


"I've only been on this pill for two days... That's why I gave it 5 stars and I know it's a bit rushed but oh boy. I've had an insane head ache all day. I also feel very nauseous, like I could throw up any minute. My heart is also pounding pretty fast and hard. Not sure what that's about but if it doesn't fix within a month I'll definitely be discontinuing this brand."


"I have been using the exforge 10/160 medicine for the last 6-7 years. My blood pressure is controlled but now a days I feel too tired and sleepy feeling all the time."


"I started using Adipex on March 31.  Today is April 2nd.  I used to drink at LEAST 2 cups of coffee a day.  I haven't thought about or needed coffee at all since I've been taking Adipex. I was a chronic pusher-of-the-snooze-button 20 times every morning.  Now, I wake up feeling refreshed and energized.  The dry mouth?  I personally think it's the best part.  I'm drinking a liter of water a day.  I don't think I drank a liter of water the entire year of 2008.  I haven't weighed myself yet. I'm trying to hold off as long as possible but I can say that my face has gotten a lot thinner.  So if I haven't lost any weight I know its coming."


"On day 10 feel good."


"I think it doesn't  work that well.  Also it didn't help my temper & I still have OCD issues ."


"I got the nexpanon inserted a month after giving birth, during that month I lost all my baby weight. After that I gained it all back and then some, I've worked out and watched my portions but nothing has helped. I don't have a period but I also breastfeed so it could be due to that. The only good thing about the birth control is that it works. It has also caused terrible depression and mood swings."


"Omg! This product cause burning and itching. It says you can use it day or night BUT!!!!!!!! DONT. It is worse than the actual yeast infection. I did it at home around 3ish took a nap work up to BURNING AND ITCHING SO BAD! Ended up taking the prescribed antibotics for it by 7pm. Wow won't ever use again!"


"After using for about 1 week, having increased SOB and rash. Reaction to inhaler anaphylactic shock and angioedema, intubated now requiring long term care"


"This medication did not lower my blood pressure or pulse rate at all."


"This did increase my son's asthma numbers and he took it for a year w/o noticeable side effects. However, I took ONE tablet after asking to be prescribed this drug for allergies. And I turned way crazy! Took it before bed, sweated so much all night my sheets were drenched! Woke up to tremors, big time. At work, the first little thing that I could not figure out, I lost all control over my emotions! It then went from bad to worse, as I suddenly did not care about my life, I was down at the bottom of a dark hole. I texted my SO I was going to write up my will in case I didn't last the weekend! Did not suspect pill at first...but thank God I didn't take it again and was back to normal-Beware!"


"My doctor suggested Kariva to me because I was previously on Ortho Tri-Cyclen (which made me extremely moody/emotional) and more recently Lo-Estrin (which gave me no sex drive whatsoever and made me completely emotionless).  I was anxious to find a happy medium after going from one extreme to the other.  I've been on Kariva for three months now.  I've never been one to have any type of headaches of any kind, and after being on Kariva I experience headaches multiple times a day.  I'm extremely tired all the time and I've gained weight in my breasts (I'm naturally a D and I've went up to a large DD). No sex drive, extreme mood swings, acne and increased appetite. I can't wait to get off this pill.  Look for other options before taking Kariva."


"Just switched from the Nuva-ring because it was giving me horrible hormone headaches. Been slightly nauseous switching back to an oral pill. Only thing to note is super intense nipple sensitivity. Ow!  Hope it subsides soon."


"I started using byetta in May 07 my A1C was 9.1 now it's 5.2 by blood sugar levels are excellent and as an added bonus. When I started I weighed 340lbs and currently weigh 239lbs. I have watched my diet. It makes you feel full and controls blood sugars. It is awesome I would highly recommend to anyone. 5mg is what I use. 10 mg is too much, it makes me sick.  Good luck to you all."


"First time I took it a year ago, I couldn't function. I took it this year, it helps."


"I just started taking this pill this week, so far not that bad of side effects except I'll get nauseous at night usually after I eat. (I take it in the afternoon). I just recently switched birth controls from Sorynox to this one. I was getting horrible mood swings and getting extremely depressed out of nowhere. It was driving my boyfriend crazy. My doctor switched me to this one and told me to take a vitamin B pill with it. So if you're getting mood swings and depressed try taking a vitamin B pill with your birth control."


"I noticed blood pressure began to stabilize. The side effects were overwhelming. I had very dry mouth, no appetite. During the day constant drowsiness and weakness along with body aches I do not normally experience. I take three other blood pressure medicines."


"Second time taking. 400mg  3 x a day.....always clears up abscess & I've never ever had a single side effect."


"This drug has been a life saver more than once. I intend to stay on it forever. I have taken it for several extended periods 6-18 months at times at doses up to 450 mg per day. I've stopped and started but eventually my depression returns.

On 150 mg per day, I feel horrible. I have the worst agitation inside where I feel like I could crawl out of my skin. I have a tightness in my chest that will not go away. I'm unable to sit and concentrate at work.

On 300mg/day - it's like night and day from 150 mg. This is when I feel perfectly fine. The agitation disappears, and in fact, I almost feel sleepy. The chest tightness goes away and I'm able to sit and do my work for a full 8 hour day. I sleep amazing.

On 450mg/day is when I feel "normal"."


"Didn't do anything for my pain! This stuffs is rubbish."


"Insertion was straight forward. Did leave a little scar, despite being told it wouldn't. It's not noticeable.

The only reason why I would advise the implant is because of its reliability - it lasts a few years and once it's in you never have to worry about it. I had no periods for the entire time I had it in (9 months). Carries no risk of infection like down there but make sure you keep the wound clean and dry. Didn't notice any difference with acne. I actually lost weight around the time I had it inserted.

However, I would say to be careful of a few things. One of which is the mood swings. I was emotional - cried for the first 3 months but it settled. Lower sex drive. Once I started eating refined sugar I put on weight. No more than 4kg"


"I have had Skyla for a little over 2 years. I'm not going to lie, the application SUCKED. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but your doctor has to force your cervix to dilate, so that obviously isn't going to feel pleasant. I took Advil an hour before my appointment, as well. I had cramping for 2 weeks and I spotted for a little over a month, but not heavily. The worst part for me was the uncontrollable emotions for the first few days while the hormones set in. I would be talking about something happy, and tears would start flowing (I looked insane.) I decided to keep my Skyla and give it time because I'm only 20 and I would rather have some light spotting and uneasy emotions than a child. Now, I'm so happy and everything is normal!"


"I took one pill at night as directed  by my doctor and the next day I had tightness in the chest and could feel my heart racing. Disappointed that this medication is not for me. Hope there is something that will be able to help  this frustrating problem."


"I was so hopeful for this medication, after trying so many others without success.  However, after taking it for a few weeks at the maximum dosage I felt absolutely no relief from pain.  No side effects, either, which is great, but I kept having to write down when I took them to ensure I did not double up (just because I felt absolutely nothing at all). "


"I've been on Sprintec for about 3 years and I take it around 1 pm (mid day). Side effects were minimum. Cramping I only get when I'm about to start my period but that's normal for me, face did seem to clear up but I do have outbreaks every now and then but again normal for me (tends to be closer towards my cycle), but one thing I did notice is I do tend to have a lot of vaginal discharge. So for the most part I've had no problems with this pill."


"So, I'm 5'3 and 135 lbs. I have tried Dulcolax in the past for constipation, but decided that it might be a better experience this time. I took 2 pills around 5pm I think. It says to take 1-2 for adults. I had horrible cramps and abdominal discomfort. About 11:50pm I had the feeling that I needed to have a bowel movement. I had a lot of diarrhea, but it really does help with constipation. My advice, take 1 pill. If you can't go after that, take 2 the next day. Honestly, once it kicks in, you will feel so much better after it's all over. If you can't handle cramping very well, you might not be able to handle the effects of this medicine."


"I found that there are too many side effects with this medicine. The worst was numbing of my face, also I had nausea and vomiting which caused dehydration. I only took it for 2 weeks."


"I'm so sad reading all these great reviews . I am the odd one out I first time I took gabapentin it was prescribed 300mg 3x daily prn for anxiety and I took one and it helped alottle but not much so I waited about 30 minutes and took another I was on cloud 9 nothing bothered me and I slept like a baby . But my dr told me to take 2before bed and that was too much on my heart and I've never suffered heart problems on my life 600mg had my heart going so slow it hurt and I had to tell myself to breathe. Very scary and even days later I was still suffering complications. I'm too scared to go back to how I originally took it because anything that messes with my heart is a no for me"


"For the first month, I had no issues with this pill. The second month, I started bleeding a week and a half before I was supposed to start my period and was emotional 24/7. The third pack I was on, I didn't bleed early but I was still emotional. The fourth and fifth, which I'm currently on the fifth, I started bleeding a week and a half early again... I also have terrible cramps. I take the pill every morning, I never miss it... Will be switching birth controls after this pack."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Let me preface this by saying I had gastric sleeve 16 months ago. My stomach holds 6 ounces. Took me 20 minutes to get the first prep drink in. I've forced 16 more ounces of water in and I'm in some serious pain.  It's been 54 minutes and I'm trying not to throw up. I gotta get another 16 ounces down in 20 minutes. Then do this all over again at 5:30 tomorrow? Oh I had to do a pre pre prep last nite. 10 ounces of magnesium citrate. That was worse tasting than this stuff."


"At 65yo and lifetime in the sun and numerous treatments including surgery, cryotherapy etc Doctor said will have to use Efudix to whole face as had untold AK's plus Bowens Disease. Told it was a ''brutal'' treatment. He was right.
All I can say is that this treatment was the most painfull experience in my life. By week two I was in agony but forced myself to continue the three week treatment. A word of warning. Under no circumstances get this stuff on your genitals. I did and it was agonising. Pain so intense sent me into depression for 3 months. Results were excellent however and no regrets."


"My hot flashes started at 34 and I'm 54. Since going through menopause a couple years ago, the flashes have been debilitating! Twenty or more a day and waking 4 or 5 times at night. I've complained to many doctors and none ever suggested this medication. Since starting on it my flashes have reduced about 75%! Amazing! I'm sleeping again. However, I'm also struggling with the side effects - tired, constipated, depressed, dry mouth/sinuses causing snoring and I'm having trouble focusing. I'm able to get through my work day okay, but I'm just not myself. Hoping the side effects will pass."


"I have to say that Zoloft saved my life.
I have been on it for over 10 years but about a year and half ago I switched to another pill just to try it. WHY I don't know, should have never left Zoloft.

I then started to take a muscle relaxer for a sore shoulder, BE VERY CAREFUL in taking other medications with any antidepressants.
The dread, the worthlessness the crying all came back. Back on Zoloft for about a week and I can function once again. THANK YOU ZOLOFT."


"I first got Depo 4 years ago March 2013....  my periods disappeared completely... yes..  I've had no period for 4 years. It's hard to say any other symptoms at the time as I was on other meds as well. But I've just got off it for the first time March 2017 and the side affects getting off are terrible! I haven't stopped a mix of spotting and well lots of brown and black blood. I'm in a new relationship and we can't even have sex. I've had mood swings, Nausea, extremely sore breast, cramps and omg the acne. This drug was all well and good until I realised some of my issues the past couple yrs could have very much so been this drug. I've been referred to a gyn for abnormal issues such as post coital bleeding (b4 getting off depo) and pain in ovaries."


"I suffer from severe panic disorder and depression, I have been using Xanax for over a year now. I am a large man with a high tolerance so I do have to use the 2 mg now due to building a tolerance  but I must say it is the only thing that has worked for me. No more wanting to die or refusing to go outside because I would panic and make stupid decisions that would get me into trouble or arguments. I feel like a normal person again, I can live a normal life again. I owe it to this medicine. Do not take more than your DR prescribes. "


"My invasive procedure went great, was quick and I felt refreshed afterwards!"


"I've been taking birth control for about a year now and my doctor just switched me on to Lutera from Aviane. I've been on it for 2 months now and though it's effective,  I have to say it makes me a little nauseous at the start of a new pack and I've gained like 10 lbs. Acne is a teeny bit worse but I'm also using a new soap so that may or may not be it. My breasts have gotten fuller but when I PMS they HURT. I guess these are normal for a birth control in general though."


"I have been having considerable reconstructive work in my mouth lately.  It is very effective in controlling my tooth pain as long as I take it on an empty stomach. "


"I had been suffering with anxiety and panic attacks for nearly a year. I, like many others thought I had something physically wrong with me. Several trips to the ER led me to the diagnosis of anxiety disorder/panic attacks. I was prescribed Xanax which I took 3-4 times a day to try to control the anxiety. My anxiety ended up leading to depression. I started on Lexapro just over 3 weeks ago. I was initially afraid to take it but I didn't want to continue on the Xanax that often. The truth is Lexapro gave me my life back! If I would have known that it would helped me like this I could have not suffered for so long. I'm so glad I decided to try it!"


"I started it in February and I was 310. I had been working out prior but seem like I was stuck at 310. My weight didn't go up or down. Then I got on the pill. First day I took it around 7am, at 7:30am I picked up a rag to whip of my kitchen counter. By 2 am the next day I finally stopped cleaning the house. LOL. Within the first month I went from 310 to 288. Month 2 I was down to 276. I got off of it for a couple of months due to financial reasons but then got back on it again and still without it was losing weight. 269lbs I started again and the weight is still piling off 3 days back on it and I am down to 263. I am 6'3 so 240 or less is what I am pushing for and I am so close. Thanks Phentermine."


"I have been known to fix a meal, send texts and emails while still asleep. I have also had phone conversations and not remembered having them on waking.,"


"Keeps my heart rate down to 54-75 which is way better than 170 but I still get AF. I was in AF most of yesterday. I am on low dose, 50mg. Think I need to up it maybe."


"I started this birth control in January shortly after I had my son and kept taking it for almost 9 months..I was loosing hair the entire time but I blamed it on the fact I just had a baby so I kept waiting for it to stop and it didn't. Besides that everything was fine up until the 8th month taking it..my period became irregular I had 0 sex drive and vaginal dryness which was terrible..I also gained some weight on this pill...over all it didn't work for me but that's not to say it won't work for anyone else!"


"Accutane is the best drug out there. Extreme acne runs in my family and I had to complete two series of Accutane to get rid of it. While I was on the medicine I had the best skin of my entire life. I would always receive complements on how amazing my skin looked. One kid I don't even know told me one day my skin looks like paper due to it's smoothness. I fully back this product. It's the best thing you'll find on the market."


"To be completely honest I have only been on it a week. The first thing I noticed is at bedtime I became really tired, or fatigued. Just tired !! I am hoping these are the only things that distress me. I mean come on people  hep C will kill you, in a horrible way. What is wrong with a little discomfort for a short period of  time, to save your life? Be positive, pray to GOD above and thank him for your healing."


"I been taking this medication for about a week and can still feel some pain but other then that it's works really well. I been taking 400 mg three times a day."


"I started the starter pack and my depression med a week ago, just upped my dosage to the 1 mg. I'm taking it in conjunction with 20 mg of celexa. I've had MDD for about 10 years and nothing has worked. My mood is elevated and I don't have the bouts of crying right now BUT I'm tired. It has me super nauseous. I have very weird dreams. It fights my insomnia allowing me to sleep for atleast 7 hours but during the day I'm so lethargic I don't want to move. When I try to get up and move around, I'm super dizzy. I don't know if I will continue with this medication. I don't know how long this feeling will last or if it will last indefinitely while on the medication."


"I've been on Prozac only for a week now but I've noticed a big change in my sleeping schedule and headaches...they've gotten so much worse!!! Can't think straight anymore and my head's always pounding. My review on this drug will change if i begin to see positive effects, but as of now, I'm ready to ask my psychiatrist for a new drug!"


"I started taking Suboxone, 6 years ago because I was getting off of Roxy's. I heard, at the time that it wasn't hard to get off of and was a way better choice than the roxys. Little did I know that what I was told about getting off of the Suboxone was easy was a COMPLETE LIE!!!!!! I regret the day I ever started taking them! I've tried numerous times to wean myself off, only to fail MISERABLY! I also have tried to medically detox but of course you know what happened.. FAIL.. If you are thinking of trying this or Subutex PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT... It may take a week to a week and a ½ to get over the withdrawals of roxys, Loritab, even oxys but getting off of the Suboxone/Subutex takes at least 3-6 months.."


"It does work, but you need to give it a few weeks to help with the cravings. I lost my partner, my friends and my licence. Thanks to finding out about Campral myself on the net, my life has turned full circle and I got my REAL friends and life back again.
My side affects were gas and lightheadness. I can live with that."


"Experience actually was pretty good. My doctor told me to take the first dose at 5 PM, followed by the second dose at 9 PM. After taking each those I was in the bathroom within 30 minutes.   The only difficulty was just the taste but not nearly as bad as some of the previous reviews that I've read. I would have to say that the overall experience was tolerable. That said I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy."


"I've had high blood pressure since I was 19 & been on MANY blood pressures Meds that just stopped working. My doctor put me on Acebutolol, when I was 35. I'm 45 now & my blood pressure is ALWAYS PERFECT or low! I was on a 2nd medication when I started & I was off that 2 years after starting Acebutolol. This medication is awesome! When I was unemployed, Medicaid required a prior-auth! So I had to borrow the money to fill it! "


"Medication caused ketoacidodis and hospitalization for 9 days."


"This medication saved my life. I have been struggling with anxiety for 20 years and nothing has worked. Finally decided to go on an SSRI for this and mild depression and it's like the weight has been lifted off of me. No longer am sick all of the time. No longer do my triggers affect me to the extent that they once did. I had panic attacks about taking this medication, and if you have anxiety about medication I ask you to just give it a try. If this isn't the one for you then your doctor can switch you. If you're looking for a sign to start I hope that this is it!"


"I have taken doxy before and was fine both then and now .I was taking it for a sinus and lung infection.
I have no complaints as long as I stick to the instructions .
ALWAYS drink A WHOLE GLASS OF WATER  (250 ml's +)  with the dose .
avoid dairy foods
and avoid anything high in metals  iron, magnesium, zinc etc.
DON'T lie down for at least 20 minutes after .
no side affects ."


"The side effects of this medicine ALMOST KILLED ME!!! I had trouble breathing. It lowered my left ventricle ejection fraction 30-35% to 15-20%, and I went from a normal sized heart to severely enlarged in just 6 months.

Read about the side effects and the incomplete clinical trials this medicine maybe detrimental to your health."


"Oh my! Why didn't my dumb ass read reviews before I bought this terrible nightmare in a tube? I mean seriously, nothing mild at all about it!  The itching sensation you feel within a minute of applying of the medicine and the cream! And please don't try to fan "down there", it makes it worst! The worst mistake of my life, I wish I had just washed out my yeast infection."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"Amazing. No noticeable effect on one 0.1mg, but docs doubled dose to 2tablets ie 0.2mg and it's amazing. Can sit up, walk, and haven't fainted since 0.2mg started. Trialed going to 0.1mg and a day and a half later, was back to dizzy, faint, tachy etc."


"Amazing for me!

I react poorly to pain medications in general, typically resulting in intense nausea. This medication however, on multiple occasions, turned migraines so severe all I can do is scream and flail, into pure nothing within 15 minutes.

This seems almost a miracle for me."


"I  started on 60 MG of noritripteline at the age of 65 as a replacement for Cymbalta, which I could no longer afford.  I found that when it was combined with 100 MG of sertaline (zoloft).  This combination gave me the greatest relief from the chronic depression I have suffered from since the age of 15.

But I was not aware of its anticholinergic effects on older people which manifested at age 67 when I began to experience problems walking,  repeated falls, lethargy, mental confusion and memory problems.  In addition to the noritripteline,  I was also taking benadryl (over the counter) to aid with sleep at night,  another anticholinergic drug. Both medications can be detrimental in older population groups and result in my symptoms."


"I have been suffering with migraines for about three years now. I got sent for a brain scan but the doctor then said I didn't need one. Got put back on amitriptyline but then weaned myself off it, the migraines had gone! Then in January this year I had an implant replaced. In June this year my migraines came back and I now take 30mg of Amitriptyline every night! I think personally its my implant that has triggered them? But amitriptyline only works for me when on a high dosage."


"I've had been on two types of birth control pills and I had break through bleeding no matter what for months. So I tried the patch. This was nice because I didn't forget to take it etc...lasts a week you can take it off a day later if needed. It for sure regulated my period which was great. I've always had a crazy high sex drive and that didn't change. BUT I hated the patch because it would collect fabric around the rim, the skin under would get super itchy, if your sexually active etc...its can shift or fall off. once taking it off it left terrible rashes and would leave a mark for about 2weeks after. It was really bad so I'm now going off it to try a different pills now instead of the patch. not good for your skin at all."


"I have been on this pill for 10 months and I completely lost my sex drive - it wouldn't be a bad thing for people who are single but I am in a committed relationship. The lack of intimacy started to make me question about how I feel and it brought guilt to me. I thought it was normal for couples who have been dating for years but later found out it was because of the birth control.."


"On Day 6 of the 14 day treatment. The side effects I've experienced haven't been too bad: the bad taste in your mouth (usually at night and first thing in the morning), hard time staying asleep (insomnia), yellow stools, and some left side aches which I think may have to do with constipation. I'm sure I would be worse if I didn't take a probiotic with every dose of these meds."


"I take Zoloft along with Trileptal for my bipolar disorder. It is a very good medicine that hasn't given me any side effects at all. The only problem is it makes me real manic at times, which is common. Besides that I have no complaints! It is one of the best medicines I have ever taken."


"I have only been taking this pill for 3 nights already....my appetite has gone down since I started.  So far, only side effect...hope it stays that way!  I don't get sick, just nothing sounds good and I am eating less."


"I'm 30 yrs old and just started Axiron 3 days ago. Already seeing positive results. Mood has gotten much much better, increase in libido and better erections. Hope all stays this way and its not just my mind playing tricks on me. T levels prior to use were 267. Hope it goes up from here!! Will post again when I get my levels checked again. "


"I got strep throat for the 2nd time in a month, so they wanted to prescribe something more heavy duty I guess. I got prescribed 875-125 mg tablets, and I had to take them every 12 hours. After my 2nd dose, I fell asleep and woke up about 4 hours later to myself really needing to vomit. After I think 8 doses (5 days out of the 10 I was supposed to) nothing changed at all, well at least nothing changed for the better. None of my symptoms changed, I was still throwing up every few hours -sometimes it had blood in it-, when I wasn't throwing up I was continuously nauseous, I couldn't walk or really see, I couldn't eat, it was just really bad, so I stopped taking them. After I stopped I had really bad diarrhea, but my strep symptoms went away"


"I have had fibromyalgia for over 10 years and have tried almost everything for it with no relief. The Cymbalta and Lyrica helped a little, but not enough. I started on the Savella 9 days ago and had to stop on the 7th day. Yes, it did help incredibly well with the pain, but the side effects I was having were worse than any amount of pain. I was only sleeping 2 hours a night, if that. I just really didn't feel like I was all there and I couldn't even function in my every day life. For now, I'll be dealing with the pain and hoping these side effects go away very soon. Good luck to all of you who try it."


"I have been using Atralin for a month now.  Though most users had seen significant improvement within 12 months, I've seen my face improved within the first week.  I've always had mild-moderate acne since I was 12 for the past 20 years and had never thought of going to the dermatologist until a month ago when my esthetician tried to introduce Retin-A/Treninoid to me during a facial.  My face did not have the initial breakout like most people and only a little peeling that lasted for a week, but of course, that was resolved with exfoliating my face.  Though I still have some acne, my dermatologist saw me today and said that they will go away with time and not leave a scar.  Since the first week, I had noticed the smoothness on my skin."


"This pill does not help with abnormal bleeding.  Everything that people have been saying is true. Emotions and bad bleeding is bad. The whole thing is bad"


"I began taking Qsymia about 3 weeks ago and I am down a little over 10lbs already which is awesome!  I am 5'5'' and weighed 184 when I began taking it.  Had my 3rd child about a year ago, and needed some help losing the weight this time. Diet soda definitely tastes flat and gross now, and I used to love it.  I have also noticed that I seem to space out, and forget things a lot more than I used to.  I do work full time and have an infant that doesn't sleep well to take care of, but I (and my husband) definitely notice a change since I've been on it.  I also get the dry mouth, but usually only notice it in the mornings when I wake up since I make sure to drink plenty of fluids during the day.  Really not hungry at all - love it!!"


"I was on the patch for about 4 years and I absolutely loved it. They switched from the Ortho Evra to the Xulane and I loved them both. Xulane is just a little smaller and sticks a lot better. I had no bad side effects, I bled for about 3 days every month after taking off my patch. I recently switched to Skyla and I am having horrible cramps with it. I am looking forward to switching back to the patch soon."


"No sex drive at all. In a bad mood sometimes throughout the day for no apparent reason. Thinking of switching to something else."


"In 2005 after 20  yrs with plaque psoriasis I began to experience severe body aches & pains. My dermatologist recommended Enbrel to treat both Psoriatic Arthritis and plaque psoriasis. I started it in September 2005.  After 6-8 wks I had remarkable results, aches and pains ceased and psoriasis plaques cleared.  In May 09 during a routine follow-up w/ my dermatologist I complained of fatigue and other issues.  They assumed it was not related to the Enbrel. Instead intense Thyroid testing was recommended.  I was diagnosed with various thyroid nodules, biopsy showed suspicious cells.  My entire thyroid was removed in September 09 - No Cancer-hooray!  Very Scared to resume Enbrel after 8 wks but feeling desperate.  Aside from the cancer scare, drug has worked for me!"


"I've been on Depo-Provera for about 6 weeks now. As for my period it's been amazing. I haven't gotten my period once and I've gotten spotting once and it last around 2 seconds. Unfortunetly about once a week I get excruciating migraines to the point where I can't see. Also I am having such bad hair loss I'm starting to get worried. I'm also finding some foods I love, are making me nauseous and I've became slightly claustrophobic. The worst of all though are my constant mood swings. I am constantly mad over nothing at my boyfriend. Almost every other day I seem to get really mad out of no where.  It's like I'm not myself. Depression isn't really an issue but it comes with my mood swings. I also have no sex drive whatsoever."


"I was prescribed Spiriva about a year ago. At first it was easier breathing with it. I developed, over time, issues. Ocular Migraines, severe dry mouth, muscle pain, coughing that I didn't put together with the Spiriva. A few weeks ago I began having badly blurred vision and did notice that it was happening about an hour after using Spiriva. I looked up the side effects online and found that this was a bad side effect of the drug. I stopped taking it and called my doctor. He simply told me to stop using it, but he did not tell me that some people get severe withdrawal symptoms. After three days I had severe panic/anxiety attacks, lighheadedness and felt like I was losing my mind. I was taking Xanax twice a day. All is gone now."


"This was life changing to me. I have only had Psoriasis for 2 years but it took over my entire body and life. Without this medicine I would have had to stop working and probably would have hidden from the entire world.  Thank you Enbrel."


"I got Skyla inserted about two and a half months ago. The insertion process was intense the pain was a lot and I have a high pain tolerance. Once I got up I almost passed out and the doctor had me sit for a while. The cramping pain was immediate. That night I did not sleep the cramps were so bad I was crying and contemplating having my boyfriend take me to the hospital. The cramps stayed around for about another 7 day with them decreasing around the 4th day. I was bleeding for about two weeks then it stopped a couple days and started back. I never know if it is my period or just my random bleeding.. I am trying to stick with it but I think I will have it removed soon."


"As an aspiring nurse I did my research on every type of birth control and chose paraguard based on the longevity of protection and the lack of hormones which are more natural to the body's environment. The procedure was simple: lay back, take deep breaths through the cramping, and you're done. Hardest part for me was that my cervix had to be dilated because I am 23, no kids, and didn't have the misoprostol to soften in which some providers use. It was painful but no more than a typical period. I forgot to premedicate, but naproxen is a miracle drug for me! My drive home I was worried because I felt extremely nauseous and faint feeling. Took naproxen when I got home and feel great. Some spotting, but no babies for 10 years! Good luck!"


"It really does help if you stick to the plan. I didn't and now I feel lots of different pains and also my condition is progressing."


"So far, life changing"


"Basically I've been taking 50mg of this and its my 3rd day I've now got insomnia, never had an issue sleeping before, no appetite, paranoid, and I'm scared to leave the house all these symptoms have occurred since taking the pills, going to carry on for another two weeks if there's no change I'll go see my doctor"


"I'm 19 and have suffered with anxiety for three years or so. Previously had been on Prozac and Lexapro which were both hellish. Began taking Effexor XR two months ago and started feeling better two weeks through but out of no where the medication not only ceased to work but actually made my anxiety a lot worse. Have horrible agitation, depression, irritability and insomnia. Pity I could really do with an antidepressant than works!"


"I started chantix in November of 2016 followed the directions to a T and have now been smoke free for 3 months!! You have to have the will-power to want to quit otherwise it will be a waste of money. Chantix definitely cut the cravings which made the transition from heavy smoker to non-smoker as easy as possible. Although I did have many crying and angry episodes it was very well worth the struggle. I am very proud to say that I'm 3 months smoke free and couldn't be happier. Definitely recommend chantix to start you healthy new you!! Congratulations on you new journey to becoming smoke free!!"


"I'm 16 and have been on this birth control for about a year and few months now. The first few months, had weird brown discharge and I was really moody, boobs were really sore, and they grew. I've gained about 15 pounds since being on birth control.. I was put on it for regulating my period but have had my first boyfriend and I have been sexually active. My acne wasn't bad to begin with but now its starting to act up, I still get moody.. And sometimes my periods come three days late (its exactly 3 days every time) but it ends up coming which worried me before. But it does its job in regulating and preventing pregnancy."


"I've been taking ultracet for over a year now. My elbow was shattered and the radial head was destroyed.  Because of the injury not healing properly my arm can't straighten out all the way. I also have terrible arthritis and tendonitis in that elbow which causes severe pain throughout the day. My doctors wanted to give me a healthy dose of percocet and oxycontin but I didn't want it. I was given ultracet and it has worked great ever since. I take anywhere from 4-8 in a day and can still function and do my job without being on a cloud."


"I am male, 62 year old. Got a blood clot the entire length of my saphenous vein. I was put on generic warfarin first at 2.5mg/day. I got sweaty, headachy, and felt depressed. This went on for two weeks until I read reviews about Coumadin on this site. Switched to Coumadin. INR stabilized, sweats went away, and headaches went away in about 10 days.
I know that Coumadin and Warfarin are supposed to be chemically the same molecule. I propose that the objective differences between these two drugs most likely can be accounted for by considering that one may have more pure isomers than the other."


"After many (84) years of trying to combat constipation, I have finally discovered Miralax, and it has made my life so improved that I almost can't believe it."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I cannot believe I had to pay $148 bucks for this! Medicare part D didnt cover it...so the pharmacy called the Dr to let him know which ones they DID cover- but know-he said this was "the best". So I stopped eating 24 hrs before colonoscopy. Nothing but water/chicken broth/ apple juice. Trust me I have taken milk of magnesia and had 100% better results! When I told the Dr that I didn't feel my colon was cleansed enough they went ahead and did it anyways...anything for a buck! Of course he said he couldn't finish and only got the lower bowel-Duh!  Next time I will do my own cleanse! This is just a shame knowing he got a kickback from pharmaceutical company!"


"This product is very good. I have problems with yeast due to periods and eating starchy products. This products works rapidly. I recommend this product 100%."


"I took augmentin for 3 days and developed severe tachycardia.  My heart rate even went to 180  where I had to end up going to the emergency room.  Left there with orders not to take augmentin and  was given prescriptions for ativan (my resting heart rate was 130) and clindamycin"


"Took this for relief as I looked and sounded pretty bad. I was keeping everyone up with my coughing and sneezing. I don't take medicine but I caved in and grabbed this. I guess from hours of exhaustion I passed out but woke up 2 hours later just wide awake! I couldn't go back to sleep, which made me so incredibly mad. I'm already an anxious person who is paranoid about everything. So this didn't help. It helped my cough calm down but the next day it was worse. I was able to sleep without feeling like my nose was plugged up!"


"Was given Levaquin for bronchitis/pneumonia. Within 15 minutes of first dose, I had violent vomiting that lasted almost a half hour. Cannot know if this would help or not. Doctor advised to discontinue use and continue with the steroids. After 4 days,congestion in chest almost cleared. Check all interactions before using."


"Oh my goodness I took lexapro 10 mg ONCE 3 nights ago I woke up feeling crazy, heart racing and my veins were on fire it was like my body went into a total shock. It has been over 48 hours and I'm still waiting for the effects to go away the depression is not so bad I feel better and have more energy to actually do Day to Day things. But the pain in my veins still pops up and the heart palpitations won't stop. I don't want to tell anyone not to take medicine when they need it but I am a natural remedy lover. I went to the beach yesterday I relaxed all day I ate three meals I drank lots of water and have been trying to sweat the pill out. This pill made me feel like I could deal with the panic better than actual medicine. Scariest experience ever."


"Outstanding product. Works really well. Easy to use. Worth every dollar."


"I previously wrote a review but need to update. My skyla ended up dropping into my cervix where I could feel it. I didn't have pain or bleeding but I could feel it on my self examinations at home. I got it replaced today and took cyetec to soften my cervix 2 hours before. Last time, it was tolerable pain. This time, it was SO painful!! I got shakey, hot, dizzy and felt like throwing up. The pain made me jerk away from the doctor and clench every muscle in my body. Removal of my first one just felt weird and non painful. Mild cramping. They had me take 800mg of ibuprofen before I left. Thankfully it only needs to be done every 3 years!"


"Within just days of my first dose, I could fell a huge, positive difference. My mind and speech were clearer, my anxiety was nearly unrecognizable, and I was just plain happy. I admit that the cost has been somewhat limiting at times. When I have chosen to delay filling a prescription for a week or two, not only can I feel the difference, but my coworkers, family and friends quickly point out the changes. It's an amazing supplement and worth every penny (when I have it to spare). Plan to stay on it from now on!"


"I have been on Trajenta for about a month along side metformin. Since taking Trajenta I have a permanent blocked nose and severe hand pain to the point that I cannot use my hand. I have stopped taking this medicine and hope the pain subsides. Blood sugar levels are still erratic."


"If you don't know what Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome is, Google it. It can not be cured. I have CVS and Zofran is the ONLY thing that helps me."


"Haloperidol is not for use in psychotic conditions related to dementia. Haloperidol may cause heart failure, sudden death, or pneumonia in older adults with dementia-related conditions.

"This medication should not be being prescribed for Bipolar 2, a milder form of a different illness, called Biploar 1, for which this medication works very well. Folks, Doctors NEED to be using SCIENCE to treat illnesses, not giving out random prescriptions for 2+ medications for 1 illness. If your Doctor is not doing monthly blood tests AT LEAST to see how the medications are affecting your body chemistry and serotonin levels, then you need to fire the Doctor and find one who does do his/her job the right way, and who is good at the science part of the job. Every medication you take counteracts and interacts with the other medications and the foods and other things that you put into your body each day messing with the chemistry of your body"


"My child ran a fever for days from a throat infection. It got up to 105.6. He got a shot of Rocephin and was 90% better by the next day."


"My first experience was when I quick smoking.  7 months after I had stopped I developed severe anxiety and panic attacks.  It took 3 months to figure out what was going on.  The neurosurgeon prescribed it to me and told me to take it immediately and call back in 30 minutes.  O M G!!!   What a miracle that was.  I took it for 2 months, switch to Zoloft, then back to the Cigs.  Thank God for E-Cigs.

Now several years later.  Tinnitus hit me.   Mine is very weird as it comes and goes in cycles.  After seeing every doctor known to man, my ENT finally had me try Xanax so I could sleep at night.  OMG...what a difference.

I take .5mg at bedtime every-night.  I sleep find.  Feel great.  And generally in a good mood."


"I went to my Doctor with main concern being sex drive. He suggested I'm probably very stressed. And I was, I have two small children. Welbutrin helped my sex drive, I quit stress smoking, and it suppressed my appetite. I just felt really unstable, and was lashing out. I took it for a couple of months then asked to change. I was given Viibryd. I was given 10mg the first week, 20 the second week, 40 the third. Everything was great until I started taking the 40mg. I took it for two days. During those two days I started having panic attacks that I had never experienced before. I thought I was losing my mind! I went back down to 20mg and things got back to normal and I love it! I did experience diarrhea for a while, I'm not sure if it was related."


"I was lucky enough to get most of the side effects from this drug. For the first two weeks, I lost my ability to walk. My entire body went numb (including my face), I had crippling anxiety, insane nightmares, and all of my major tendons were damaged. I had so much fatigue that I slept 18hrs a day. Thankfully, I was only sick for four months, but I lost my job and had to move back in with my parents. Now, I am okay. 0/10 would recommend. Even if you don't get a reaction the first time you take it, it is NOT WORTH TAKING. My friend's achilles heels ruptured after her fifteenth round having no problems before that. Take another antibiotic or eat some garlic. I had $3000 in med bills"


"This medicine is great at preventing the physical symptoms of panic attacks which are my biggest concern.  At 10mg, it keeps my heart rate at a tolerable level and I don't shake or feel nauseous.  However, if I take it and don't experience any stress it completely wipes me out and makes me feel like I just want to sleep all day."


"For the longest time I have always little sleep. After being prescribed Sertraline and trazodone to help me sleep. I have noticed a big improvement in my sleeping habits. I get 9 hours of sleep and I actually stay asleep.

The downside for me is that I feel tired and groggy throughout the day. Hopefully I will find a new way to not feel this way in which I will share.

I take 100mg before I go to sleep"


"I suffer from anxiety/ panic attacks as well as live a somewhat stressful life style. Xanax has been my life saver and has been a tremendous aide in allowing me to continue  to function in life on a daily basis. Truly a blessing in my life 100%."


"I was on Junel Fe for 6 months. From the very beginning it made my acne horrible. I normally never have acne except for the week of my period, and then it will only be like one or two Whitehead’s. But the entire time I was on this pill, terrible terrible acne all over my face. After being off Junel for a month my face is totally clear and back to normal.

I stopped this pill because of the breakthrough bleeding I was having. It felt like I had to wear a light pad all the time because I never knew when I was going to bleed and sometimes the spotting was heavier than just spotting. Super annoying. My MD said it was normal, wait 3 more months. Welp, after 6 months no change so I switched pills. Didn’t really decrease cramping either."


"I started using sutent 50 mg for stage 4 kidney cancer for last 2 weeks but there is no improvement in blood test result. can anyone please tell me know the time required to get the result."


"succeededin improving EF by 60 per cent"


"Product worked great! Me and my boyfriend went and got the pill immediately. About an hour after our mishap. I had no side effects and started my period a week later. Very satisfied. I recommend this."


"I'm 26 years old and have always had irregular periods. Recently found out that I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and was prescribed provera. I took it twice a day for 10 days...and started bleeding about 3 days after they finished. I can honestly say it was the worst period I've ever had! It was very heavy & I felt sick and dizzy. And I was so emotional and I never get any sort of PMS usually. My period also lasted for 10 days. It stopped on Sunday there and I'm bleeding again today (Thursday). Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?"


"Been on it one month. Put on after a suicide attempt. I am no longer obsessing  about suicide but I can't get out of bed. It has reduced my anxiety very much, which is great. I was terrified of everything. But I wish I had the energy and desire to get up and do something during the day. So I'm still depressed but hoping for more improvement since I no longer want to kill  myself."


"Been on Mirena IUD now 4 over 5 yrs. I got it for 2 reasons. I'm a kidney transplant patient & was/am anemic and reason two I needed birth control. I would have my period 4 weeks at a time. Exhausted & weak all the time my Doctor suggested this form of IUD. Yes, getting the insertion is not fun, it is painful for all of the minute that it takes to insert it,  I have a high tolerance for pain; it does hurt but, if your a strong women (most of U R -  U can do it.)  U do feel sore 4 a few days. I have in the pass Yrs felt twinge of pain down there (depends on UR positions). I've gotten it check 2x since having it & going in to get it check again & see if its time for a new 1. ,Periods in beginning were lite stopping completely with in 1st Yr. I spot occasionally."


"I have been struggling with night sweats, flashes and mood swings.  I have noticed caffeine and stress brings on the flashes. I haven't figured out what starts the night sweats, so i keep my house 70 degrees and below sometimes to sleep.  I noticed that when I put a washcloth next to my bed (in a plastic bag not to ruin furniture) at night to place on my chest when the flashing starts, helps it to subside immediately.  I am on day for of the Prempro and this stuff is awesome.  The frequency of the flashing has decreased and when it tries to come back it isn't as intense.  I think taking it the same time everyday has helped with that.  I will sit down maybe an hour after taking the Prempro and it feels like I'm super relaxed or sleepy."


"Originally I was prescribed this and Meloxicam as a two-pronged approach for pain, and it has reduced my opioid dosages. Let's say my pain management doctor had me on levels greater than given to cancer patients. When my PM increased it to that level, my primary took over. First I was taking Gabapentin 200mg 3x. However, still having sleep issues. She sent me to a neurologist and she changed how I take it, kept the dosage. Now, I take 200mg at noon, and 400mg two hours before I go to sleep. What a difference it made. And it still helps with pain management as it was originally prescribed. Due soon for an increase. It helped reduce my opioid dosage."


"Implanon often tends to get a bad rap, but so to does every other type of contraception. I was on my first lot for 3 years never having a period, after it ran out I wait two months before getting a new one. In those two months I had regular periods. When the new one was inserted I went back to no periods. My mother had an implant for years with regular periods and loved it. I have loved it. It was the best thing for me as I have depression and the pill and some injections caused me to become lifeless and made my depression horrible. Everyone is different so different things work for different people. The upside of the implant is that if you do have issues you can take it straight back out with no side affects. I recommend it"


"I have to say I love Relpax. I sit under florescent lights and in front of a computer all day long and when I have a migraine I take Relpax and within 20 minutes the pain goes away. The only side effects I have are the pain in my jaws and throat and my arms get really heavy. But it's nothing compared to the pain I fell under these bright lights with a migraine. I don't think that this is an expensive medicine, with my insurance I pay less than 10 dollars for a box of 12 of them. I think I would think different if I didn't have insurance for sure but I would pay any amount of money for these little orange pills."


"Hi, I was tried to be put on Ritalin when I was 5 and it simply wasn’t gonna happen w my parents.  So I continued school and still had c and d grades.  I went to a Dr, did all these tests and said I have ADD/ADHD\ w anxiety disorder.  Which was from all the MDMA abuse.  So I am on 30 mg IR adderall (the ones with the 30 on em) only ones that don’t make my mouth dry and 2mg xanax 4 times a day.  Let me say I wake up everyday excited to go to work.  I used to be a hardcore tablet junkie and now since I take these two I don’t drink and I don’t do illegal drugs.  These two rx’s We’re a match made in heaven.  I take 2 green bars and 1 adderall in the morning and I’m flying at work in the IT/ software field.  These two have saved my life. Best combo"


"I have been on these now for around 4 months - they really are impressive.

I was previously on Citalopram and Sertraline but didn't find these to be any help, so these were next in my thoughts to try.

I have suffered from anxiety, BDD, panics, OCD, overactive thoughts and depressive mood for some time now, and I was recommended to go on these because i was feeling so low always. I also experienced high amounts of anger outbursts from the issues, which have now been cut down greatly thanks to these tablets. Taking these has also improved my relationships. Although I am far from being mentally well, I am happy to say that i am now more stable and hopefully more able to manage the problems better than before.

40mg"


"On day one, I noticed a calmness come about me. Now I'm on day 6 of 20 mg and still calm but, not emotionless. I love that I'm not quick to anger anymore. I am having minor panic attacks however. The doctor said it may take a full 6 weeks to feel the full effects. I was having serious panic attacks at night in my sleep and those have gone away. I keep clenching my jaw, that started on day 2. I am really tired like I've taken a Benadryl and I have to nap or I wont make it to bedtime. I am enjoying life much more though and I'm seeing all of the things I missed because I couldn't relax or enjoy the moment. I have two months of pills and then the doctor wants to see me so hopefully shes not going to pull me off. I feel like a new woman."


"Needed to use the remaining suppositories, due to itching and minor bleeding from hard stool. Noticed blood sugar rising about 40 pts now that I stopped using it, condition somewhat better and sugars are lower."


"Before taking sronyx I used to take loestrin 24 fe and I had no problems with that I enjoyed it ..my doctor prescribed me sronyx recently and as soon as I took this bc I gained about 5 lbs the first month even though I exercise for almost 2 hours 4-5 times a week and my appetite has increased ...I have never felt so hungry to the point where i feel like I'm going to snap! My stomach growls also from so much hunger even though I ate 1-2 hours before!! This pill made me so irritable and angry at everyone around me ! I hate this pill , I am switching !"


"I have been fighting psoriasis for many years on and off, have tried everything topicals, steroids, uvb light, laser, natural products, coal tar except have not tried biologicals, I had a bad flare 2 years ago mostly on my legs, and a few spots in other areas, nothing has worked so far, my dermatologist gave me a started pack of Oztela, I have been on it no 6 days, so far not too many side effects when it comes to digestive issues but I do suffer from migranes and last night I had one of the worst migranes in a very long time. My skin does look like its getting better already so I will keep taking it for a while and hope the side effects start to disappear."


"Works great"


"It was prescribed post surgery as prophylaxis. Caused intense pain in the Achilles tendon and calf muscles.  Enough to discontinue use."


"I have been suffering from asthma from the age of about 10. I have been using Symbicort for the last 10 years but have had no proper relief. I have to say this is just a miracle for me and my asthma. I have been on it for about a month and a half and after struggling with my asthma for almost 25 years, I think I've finally reached a point where I almost feel secure with leaving inhalers at home (although I typically don't). I have not had one attack since I've started this medication! It worked for me."


"Great so far! I have used this for four months and only experienced slight breast tenderness in the beginning. I am taking this for BC (of course) but also for stage 1 Endo. It has been a godsend in that regard- my periods are so light, I can get away with just a pantyliner when I used to have to do a tampon and pad. My cramps are slight on day one and then gone for the rest of my period. I cannot describe how wonderful that is in comparison to the excruciating pain I used to have. It would have been great to get bigger boobs from this but alas, nothing is perfect ;) Try this for sure if you have very heavy periods, very strong cramps and endo in its beginning stages."


"This stuff is killing us faster than the hiv and they are lying to us.  Do your research people."


"My experience with Concerta was unbelievable. I started getting hostile with everyone, banging things, flipping things, over throwing things. I had to have the police and EMT come take me to the hospital. "


"I have been on Trinessa for 3 months now. I am 14 years old and am taking it for consistency in my period, acne, and consistent flow. I was very excited to start it because I didn't have a doubt in my mind that it wouldnt work the way I wanted it to. The first month I was on my period for 24 days. In the short time I've been on it i have gained 15 POUNDS!!!! I used to weigh 100-108 pounds now I weigh 120! Makes me wanna cry. I haven't changed my diet, and I have always exercised daily and remain very active. My acne has not improved, these to things are very devastating to my confidence. It has left me somewhat depressed and moody. I don't think I would recommend this however every person is different and it may work differently for the"


"I've been using Mirvaso since it came out.  It really helps me.  I use a small amount and usually mix it with moisturizer or Metrogel before applying it"


"I started out on 10mg, worked a couple of nights, slept great, then it didn't work anymore, just be awake wishing I could sleep.
Dr raised dose to 20mg. Worked great for about 10 nights, now I'm here awake wishing I could fall asleep.
No bad dreams or paralysis, just can't fall asleep.
Going back to try something else.
Dang it! Was hoping this would work."


"I was diagnosed with left-sided UC in May of 2015. My GI prescribed 4.8 grams (4 pills in the am) of Lialda, plus 1 Canasa suppository (1 gram) at night. The suppository was for 3 weeks only.

Within 2 weeks, the bleeding stopped, and I no longer saw the remnants of the colon tissue erosions when I had a bowl movement. I stopped taking the Canasa after a week and a half, because I think it was leading me towards diarrhea, and I felt slight rectal pain. There was no noticeable negative effect to me stopping the Canasa dose at that point. I continued to take the regular dosage of Lialda.

I had some dizziness the first week or two, but that had since abated. I also noticed acne that I haven't had in many years. No issues with hair thinning."


"I have been taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for about five weeks now. I had some back pain the first week. When my period came it was very heavy and lasted longer. Now in week five I am having terrible low back pains, slight nausea and I'm a bit emotional at night...not sure if I should wait for the hormones to balance out in the next couple of months or talk to the doctor about other options?"


"I had been suffering from psoriasis for 5  years and began to feel arthritis pain 3 years ago. The psoriatic symptoms and arthritis pain disappeared when I was pregnant but had since come back three fold. My debilitating arthritis pain in my hands and wrist, knees and hips prevented me from being the best mom I could be. I could not take it anymore. I'm relatively young (38) so I had to be very proactive in my diagnosis and treatment. I was sure that I did not want to take methotrexate and wanted a biological. I did my research and knew the risks. Enbrel is a miracle for me. The pain relief was instant, within 5 hours of the first shot. It's been three months and I have full movement, minimal to no pain. I am excited to ski again!"


"My mom was given Namenda and got worse. Had hallucinations and got to the point that she didnt know me got very aggressive."


"This medication has worked wonders for me. However, I also have additional medications that work along with this in order to provide me relief. But when I have run out of this medication, I am certainly aware, it is great for my nerve pain and my Depression that accompanies my Fibromyalgia. "


"I've only been on Seroquel for 2/3 weeks but I have had a largely positive experience. I have had a diagnosis of depression for about ten years and was using Cipralex (Lexapro). I came off Cipralex twice, and both times I became very depressed.

Even on Cipralex my mood was constantly changing so I went to see a psychiatrist who thinks I may have Cyclothymia or bipolar 2 so started me on 50mg of Seroquel.

Initially I was very groggy but have gotten over that. I've also gained a stone in weight. But my mood has really stabilised for the first time. I feel happy,  confident and passionate. I no longer have a million thoughts in my head so can focus better. Hopefully this continues."


"There is a level of inconsistency in its quality and in its potency. I have tried taking it in different ways. Starting with swallowing it (cause immediate bloating). Tried it sublingually and finally crushing it. Again, I have found some difference in the way it crushes. Some are crumbly (more potent) and some are sticky (same batch).  One whole box was totally useless. I didnt realise this immediately. Side effects kept increasing with each dose and I kept feeling tired, nauseated, and lacked energy. This effect wore out 4-5 hrs after taking the pill and felt almost back to normal. I opened a new batch and things improved withi 2 days..less side effects and more energy levels. Other side effect is sweet taste. I will try a different brand"


"Been on Daliresp for 6 weeks now and I feel great no side effects I feel so good I forget to take my inhaler twice a day. Thank you for this amazing medication."


"I spent most of Saturday in bed.  I felt like someone had punched me in the gut repeatedly or like i had done an extreme ab workout.  Neither of those things actually took place.  The pain was terrible.  On Sunday,  i purchased a generic "cherry flavored" milk of magnesia.  I took four tablespoons. My head began to hurt which i attribute to dehydration as i was unable to eat anything but soup while i was in pain.  A couple of hours layer,  i drank two more tablespoons.  It seemed as if the entirety of my intestinal tract began gurgling.  And the medicine started working.  I,personally, did not experience any if the cramping that others are describing and am experiencing great relief. Drink a lot of water with it."


"ASCOMP 30mg. Works wonders for my horrible headaches. I take with a meal or small snack, so my tummy doesn't get upset by the aspirin."


"I have been taking this because of a fall in the produce department at the store (slipped on water). Severe hamstring issues and lower back. Not giving much relief."


"I'm a week into using Epiduo and Solodyn and I must say I haven't seen this many pimples on my face since I was a teenager! I have heard that it has to get worse before it gets better, so I'm going to stick it out and see what happens."


"I had a yeast infection for a couple of months. Like most people I thought I would go away on its own, but it didn't. I finally decided to order monistat 1 day. But once I received it, I got scared to use it because of all the negative reviews. I was scared of the intese burning! So I put it off for 2 weeks. Finally, I knew I had to use the product or the infection will never go away. I used it on a Monday morning. I waited for that intese burning/pain that others had mentioned, but it never happened. I was so thankful. Only bad thing, there was a lot of discharge. Other than that i was fine. I felt better immediately, but it took about 2 weeks for it to completely go away. I definitely recommend this product!"


"I never review anything, but this I had to review!! This stuff has basically given me my life back! Before I started taking this I had severe depression issues, high anxiety and stress, and a touch of PTSD. Since taking this stuff all of that has faded especially anxiety and stress. This stuff is a blessing! I take 20 mg in the morning and 20 mg in the evening.  Took it about two weeks or so to kick in, but once it did my god it was incredible!! I still get depressed, but it's nowhere near as bad as it use to be. As far as side effects go, I haven't had any!! They must be very rare. Would recommend this to anyone! I am a riverboat pilot, so if any offshore or towboat pilots are looking into trying this---it IS a coast guard approved med. "


"I've tried about 15 to 20 different antidepressants in the last 21 years. Nothing has really helped, or it would help for awhile then stop working. Cymbalta is only the second medication that is not only a SSRI but works with the dopamine in your body,  that I've tried. First was Pristiq and that affected me so badly I wouldn't shower for a week. I didn't want to do anything.  Now with the Cymbalta I'm more energetic and less hungry and feel much better! So far it's working out wonderfully."


"I got Mirena about 9 months ago, and am so pleased with it. I am 23 years old and have never had children. The doctor told me this might make insertion more painful, but he decided to try something. He gave me a pill normally used for people with stomach ulcers (sorry, I can't remember the  name of the drug), which had the side effect of softening the cervix. The insertion was not bad at all. It hurt, yes, but not as badly as I've heard from other women who got an IUD before having children. Now, my period is much lighter, my sex life is even better than before because I don't feel worried about pregnancy. Also, it was cost effective. I have health insurance and so it cost about the same amount as 3 months Ortho Tri-cyclen and it's good for 5 years."


"This pill is the worst one I've taken, I've never been on such a problematic birth control like this before and it's causing so much stress on my daily life. I switched from reclipsen because it gave me a migraine every day, on the bright side this pill hasn't given me any. Unfortunately what it has given me is terrible acne, depression, day long lasting nausea, and the day before my period I had horrible pains in my right side from my belly button to the bottom of my pubic bone that I nearly went into the e.r. It was so debilitating that I couldn't move a muscle. Now, upon my self examination I've discovered a lump and have nipple discharge, I'm not entirely sure if the birth control is the direct link; but my Drs and I will see."


"The headache and nausea from this medication is absolutely horrible. I have never in my life taken a medication that actually makes me feel worse than the reason I'm taking. This should be taken off the market! 2x a day for 7 days. I have only taken 2."


"Cyclessa had all the negative side effects that it lists.  I was irritable, irrational and depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts.  I gained 15 pounds on the drug in less than a month.  It didn't help at all with my terrible cramps.  However, I'm not pregnant, but I don't know if that had to do with it killing my sex drive."


"This medication completely ruined my life. I gained 15kg over six months on this injection whereas before I was fit. I grew manboobs on this medication. I have no libido and complete sexual dysfunction. This medication gives you terrible anhedonia. I was forced to take Invega Sustenna after some stupid psychiatrist diagnosed me with "psychosis". I had no symptoms of psychosis."


"I've been using Doxycycline for 5 days now and I've had very crazy dreams from it, bad diarrhea and wake up every morning extremely thirsty, but it is helping with my acne. I just hope the side effects stop."


"Could not concentrate or think on this medicine , I took it for a week and stopped.  Felt depressed and anxious on it"
