"I've been on Loestrin 24 for a little over a year now and I think its fabulous! I don't get acne, I didn't gain weight, my breasts grew (which isn't a problem), my cramps have gone down to barely there and my period went from being 10 days to 2. The only issue I ever had with it was that the first month I was pretty moody and also my period is so light and quick it's borderline scary when it doesnt come."


"I have finished my first pack and started on my second pack. I absolutely love this birth control. I have had no extra weight gain (I'm a steady 120), I have had no acne break outs, I haven't spotted and my periods are light. I was so nervous to try it, but I'm glad I did. Like they say it all depends how it interacts with your body, so try it for yourself."


"Taken( 2) 1mg, 3 times a day and (3)1 mg at bed time. No issues still helping after two plus years."


"Plan B did what it was suppose to do. Had unprotected sex a day before  ovulation (assuming ovulating day due to my period app) by accident. 11 hours later I went to Walgreens purchased Plan B.  2 weeks later I got period only 1 day late. However 1 week after Plan B was taken I started spotting lightly until actual day of period.  So everything went great, as far as taking this on or before ovulation day."


"I have had high blood pressure since I was a child. I have tryed many different meds for this problem. I had bad reactions to many of the poplar blood pressure meds and I am highly allergic to red rice so colesterol meds were no an option. I fired my doctor and went with a new doctor that prescribed bystolic it changed my whole life I am forever in his debt. I went from having multi side effect to almost none in 2 weeks I felt like a new person."


"UPDATE: It worked for about a month and a half and then stopped working. Fiddling with the dose didn't help. Then I tried to stop taking it and felt bad so had to go back on and taper off very slowly. I had terrible withdrawal symptoms including mental issues and increased pain. I started in April and now its almost December. Most of that time I've been withdrawing. I've gained 70 pounds!!! Reducing the dose has not reduced the weight. This is the only drug I have ever had dependancy issues with. I will never take it again."


"I have been on microgestin for almost two weeks now. I am a pretty active individual almost everyday so the weight gain hasn't been too much of an issue for me. It has increased my appetite a little, and have made my breasts pretty tender. Other than that, I have no complaints about this pill. I have been on other birth controls before, but this one isn't as bad as everyone says it is... if you have preexisting conditions of diabetes, heart problems, high bp, of course those symptoms might increase on a birth control medication, but as long as you are staying active, maintaining a fairly balanced diet, and drinking plenty of water, please don't fear this birth control."


"You are probably on here reading all these reviews panicking whether the plan b pill is working for you or not. I'm here to calm the nerves, plan b does work!!! I am a teen and me and my boyfriend made the huge mistake of having unprotected sex one night. He pulled out but just to be sure I purchased a plan b the next day. About 1-2 days later I began experiencing symptoms. Fatigue, nausea, back pain, all symptoms that mimick pregnancy://. But do not worry! I got my period even earlier than expected and everything was completely normal! Calm those nerves ladies, plan b does work((:"


"I am writing this in hopes that I will help some girl out there who is as naive as I was when I blindly decided to take these emergency contraceptive pills.

Let me start off by admitting to my very first mistake, which was sex without a condom. Even though my boyfriend didn't cum inside of me, I still was afraid of becoming pregnant since I have read numerous stories about women getting pregnant on the pull out method.

Anyways, let's get straight to the story... So, I ended up taking the morning after pill every time we would have sex without condoms. To make a long story short, I ended up taking 4 pills in a time period of 3 months. (Stupid, I know!)

I took these pills and thought nothing of it. Until, I started feeling the symptoms that come with it: I was depressed (crying over anything), sleeping 18 hours a day, lost appetite, bloating, my breasts were tender and tingling, frequent urination, nausea, dizziness, wild vivid dreams, etc... I actually thought I was pregnant because it gives you EVERY symptom of pregnancy.

After noticing all these symptoms, I decided to stop using these pills and to remind myself to buy condoms. I haven't taken another pill for 3 months, and all I can say is ITS NOT OVER!!! Three months later, I am still haunted by the long term side effects of the pill.

I gained 10 pounds from the pill! I've always been skinny and muscular; it's gone! I have a gut and a muffin top for the first time in my life! Had to get new jeans in a bigger size because I could no longer fit in them. My breasts grew a whole cup size bigger and had to get a brand new bra wardrobe. My physical body was ruined by these pills!! :( BUT THATS NOT ALL!!

The pill had given me a yeast infection, which was then followed by a urinary tract infection, and the urinary tract infection eventually caused Bacterial vaginosis, in which 3 months later, I am still dealing with!!! I WAS NEVER THE SAME!

Please stay away from this pill! Use condoms or some other type of birth control. This will ruin your life in every aspect: mental, emotional, physical, internal... Please take my advice and avoid this as much possible. If it's a true emergency, go and take it, but don't be stupid like me! Be proactive when it comes to sex! This pill isn't something to fool around with!"


"I cut my finger on a piece of metal under the seat of my car and developed a skin infection. Had the infection drained, but was also prescribed Bactrim twice a day for 10 days. After 2 days I saw my finger start healing up and within the 10 days it was completely healed. I only experienced mild nausea and some insomnia. Other than that it did a great job! Very satisfied."


"Took it expecting to cure my stuffy nose/cough. I feel like it made it worse."


"I am a 42 year old mother of three and I have been having issues with eczema for the last 4 years. It covered  75% of my body. Just like one of the posts on here, I tried EVERYTHING!!! I took all the medications, creams, light treatment, I was willing to try any and everything. I went to several doctors and they just could not offer me any help, until my last doctor. She did all the usual testing first, then she suggested the dupixent. She said that it was new and I was like, sign me up. I have been on it since June and I cannot be happier. My skin has cleared up 85% and it's getting better by the day. I am more than satisfied with the outcome and I highly recommend it! Give it a "shot"!"


"I got the Mirena inserted a month ago and so far so good.  The only complaint I have about it is that since the insertion, I've had spotting everyday.  I did get my 1st period and it hasn't stopped yet either.  I did do my homework on both Mirena and Paraguard before I decided to get it and despite the negative reviews for both, I chose Mirena.  I do get slight headaches and have acne but both are manageable.  Although I'm still fairly new to the whole IUD thing, I'd definitely recommend it to any woman who is not trying to conceive now."


"Lithium is a good drug to control Bipolar but beware it damages your kidneys eventually.

Make sure you discuss all blood tests with a doctor."


"I just had my first injection both knees a few days ago. When I came home from the clinic, I ran down to the basement to get something and noticed right away my knees felt better. I had really bothersome aching in my knees at night, that is gone. So far, I am very impressed."


"I've been on Sprintec for 5 years now. Overall pretty good. No pregnancies, keeps acne at bay, periods only last ~4 days when it used to be heavy flow for 7  days without birth control (plus, can predict what time it will come; mine starts between 3-7 pm every first day of period). My breasts also went up 1.5 cup sizes.

The only down side for me would be extreme mood swings (mad, sad, crying for no reason... But only towards my husband lol!) during period, breast tenderness (near and during period time), occasional nausea.

After 5 months of use, I tried skipped the series of white pills and went straight into the next pack in hopes of not getting my period for that month... went terribly. Bled/ spotted for the next 30 days."


"I have been on seasonale for 2 yrs now and have now just realized that it's the reason I can't lose weight and I feel depressed and absolutely 0 sex drive. I didn't know until now only cause I have researched it today and I am planning to get off it asap."


"Started with a cholesterol of 235 and 3 months later my cholesterol went down to 140. No side effects!"


"I used 3mg melatonin in the past with a good result. Recently I saw 5 and 10mg pills at the pharmacy and tried the 5mg. This time I experienced great difficulty breathing. Very glad I didn't buy the 10mg. I seem to always be the exception to the rule and melatonin probably works great for anybody else. Just start with a low dose for sure."


"Been on this for a year and so far it's helped me lose 80lbs which anybody that knows or experiences PCOS knows it's hard as heck to lose any weight. It's helped the unwanted body hair go away for the most part and my periods come every month and are usually between 7-9 days compared to once every 4-5 months and being at least 2 weeks long before I started this birth control. The hair on my head grows fuller and faster and the facial hair is almost completely gone.  I suggest this birth control to anybody that experiences PCOS or symptoms like it"


"I have been on birth control for 6 years. I went on it because my period were painful and made me very sick two days out of the month. I was on a generic brand of ortho tri cyclen and when insurance started to cover the name brand completely I switch to ortho tri cyclen. During the first couple years on birth control my period were much better and predictable but I would feel nauseous when I started taking my pill again after my period. Once my body got used to being on the pill the nausea stopped. Spring 2015, after being on ortho tri cyclen my insurance out of the blue stopped covering it and that is when I switched to ortho tri cyclen lo. This is the best BC I have been on. I haven't gained weight and the only side effect is headaches."


"Made my face really itchy and red so that I could stop scratching it, which caused the acne to spread further."


"After 8 months of sleep problems caused by anxiety started to take 3x300mg. First two days were amazing. No more anxiety when falling a sleep and during a day. After 5 days started to noticing anxiety again so went up to 600x2 300x1. Its totally miracle drug. No more anxiety, I feel calm and relax with social situations and have proper deep sleep. I love it!"


"Ive had this thing in me for a year and seven months. All it has done is make my depression and anxiety worse and cause really bad mood swings. I didn't have a period until recently and im having severe cramps. Thqbkfully I go to gwt it taken out soon. Im just gonna switch to the pill. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone."


"Just started the medication, & I understand it takes up to 90 days to realize full benefits. However, I've noticed minor improvement in my eyes, without side effects.

One big issue: the dose is 1 drop 2x/day. The eye dropper provided is terrible at delivering 1 drop. The stuff goops out, and when I first started, I was probably getting 3-4 drops in my eye. I found the old fashioned nipple glass eye dropper works great at administering 1 drop at a time. However, this means unsealing the plastic containers in which the med is provided. They appear to be sealed, requiring cutting the top off. And, this risks contamination of the medicine. Allergin needs to provide a suitable delivery dropper. Hence, the 1 star."


"Was on this for three weeks when I noticed a mild rash. Stopped taking it but rash became much worse after 4 days.I had to go to A and E due to other symptoms. Diagnosed with an allergic reaction and prescribed Steroids and to continue with antihistamine. Took over a week to settle. This was disappointing as I was beginning to feel better,  stiffness and tiredness was reducing. Now waiting to see Consultant to discuss other options."


"I have been on this damn thing since June '15, it's Jan '16. I cannot exactly explain the emotional feeling that I have had since switching to this bc, I was on depo for the full 3 years and got on this one thinking well maybe it could be the same..  NO, stupid thinking, I'm actually crying right now because how crazy emotional I am, I absolutely hate the way I feel. My poor fianc"


"I would NOT recommend Aubra to anyone. The entire six months I was in it I constantly felt depressed and exhausted. Staying awake was a constant struggle. I also experienced crazy mood swings that caused major problems in my relationship. I also developed extremely bad acne which I never had before. Also, I never felt hungry and whenever I did eat I always felt so bloated and uncomfortable afterwards. On top of that, my periods actually got worse; heavier bleeding, really bad cramps, etc. I wish I would have talked to my doctor sooner about getting off this birth control and would strongly discourage anyone else from ever taking it."


"This drug is pure garbage.

The good news: side effects are temporary and will fade away.

Even if they continiue for a couple of weeks."


"Gabapentin/neurontin helped with my fibromyalgia body pain.  However, it did nothing for the electric shock like paresthesias or other neuropathic pain in my feet and legs.  Lyrica helped with that, but had side effects.

Now, I'm on an effective cocktail of drugs:  Celexa, 50mg Seroquel at bedtime for sleep, Buspar/buspirone, 400mg Skelaxin for skeletal muscle pain at bedtime, and Mirapex for burning foot neuropathic pain."


"Side effects were unbearable for my girlfriend so she stopped after only 1.5 days. She suffered from headaches, vomiting, achy all over, stomach pains, taste buds (bad taste). It seemed to help with the infection but at the end cycle of the dosage she was feeling much better. In 45 minutes after taking a pill it made her feel so sick again."


"My son is 14 and has suffered with OCD for 2 years. Lexapro made him a happier obsessive with extreme gas but OCD symptoms no better. Anafranil has been great. Has fewer obsessions with less anxiety. It's an older drug you have to ask for."


"Before you read everyone's comments, understand that mental illness is not all the same and isn't fully understood. (With your doctor) you have to experiment which out works best for you. All medications take a few months to work for their full potential. Take them exactly how your doctor recommends them and take them exactly on time. I know it's hard but be patient, you'll get their and it'll change your life.

I've been taking Lexapro ( escitalopram ) for a few years now. Before taking it, I tried everything in the book. I went from sweaty palms, forgetful thoughts, sweaty armpits, loss of sleep, overwhelmed with anxiety, stomach issues...etc to feeling sharp, happy and not depressed. I take it exactly within 24 hours everyday."


"I love Mononessa. I used to have extremely painful cramps, I would have to miss work and school because I was in so much pain, and  Mononessa has definitely helped. At first it didn't seem to help with the cramps so I went back to my doctor and she uped my dosage. My periods come on the exact same day every month which is really nice. I definitely don't have as heavy of a period and it normally lasts 3-4 days. I do seem to be a little more emotional the week before I start but I never had any weight gain/loss issues with it."


"The pill has served its purpose- I have not gotten pregnant while on it. However, I have experienced weight gain, VERY low libido, and more vaginal discharge than normal. On the plus side my periods have been regular and I rarely experience cramps. When I do cramp it is nothing like before I was on birth control."


"Mid 30's with depression for over 4 years.  Was on Lexapro 10mg then 20mg for a lil while, but it wasn't enough and the psych doc wouldn't listen to me or change my meds.  So after 2 years of dealing with him I switched to another psych doc who actually listened to me.  First she added Wellbutrin 150 then 300 XL, it wasn't such a great difference so she switched me to Brintellix after insurance approval.  She started me out at 5mg then titrated up to 10mg then 20mg.  The first few days were the worst with side effects, but mine were nausea and diarrhea, that only I got better in time.  The feeling after being on this medication was great!  I felt more like my old self again, happier, more motivated, less isolation, and got my sex drive back"


"Don't buy!  The bottle is freakin' impossible to open especially when you can't breathe and all you want is relief.  Tried everything to get lid off. Eventually I got it off with my teeth as this was only way I could keep the bottom half from turning as I twisted lid. I still ended up with medicine in my mouth because leaked while I was trying to turn lid off.  Most stupid design ever, go with a different brand, trust me!"


"I've taken these pills twice and each time I have had very bad anxiety attacks. I was mostly concentrating on the sensation of floating and nothing being real to check if I still had a headache. I don't know if it was because I took these at night, but nevertheless, I will probably never take these again because the attacks are terrifying. I'm not saying this wouldn't work for some other person but I'm putting this up to warn people. I thought it was just my anxiety acting up but then I read other reviews. Please, people with anxiety, take caution."


"I'm 53, I was given propofol for a preventive colonoscopy screening intravenously and within 10 seconds I was out. When I woke up fifteen minutes later I felt like I was waking up from a restful nap.  Within 15 minutes I was up, dressed, and out the door. I felt great the rest of the day. I might add I'm in good health and physically fit."


"My 18 year old son was diagnosed with panic disorder after an episode occurred on his second day of college. The attacks began to come regularly after that, not only in class, but even at home. He would panic when he was outside, and wanted to just stay in his room. It got very bad, so bad we had to withdraw him from his classes so he could get some treatment. We initially started him on a low dose of Klonopin to help ease some of the symptoms, which helped for a couple weeks, but he needed to begin increasing and also had some bad breakthrough panic attacks. We switched him to Zoloft 25mg for 1 week, and then 50mg second week. It is truly the best medication ever! He is back to being and feeling like himself and is able to do everything!"


"I have been taking Lortab for 6 years since I was 13 yrs old for migraine headaches because I'm allergic to NSAIDs. I started out taking 5/500 for 2 years. Then my Dr put me on 7.5/500 for 3 1/2 years. Now I'm on 10/500. The 10/500 work the best for my pain problems. They help me get on about my day I only need to take 2 a day because they work good. Thanks."


"Cured most of my reflux problems. I definitely feel better in that way, but it makes me really tired. The side effect for me is that I find it difficult to stay awake throughout the day without napping."


"I am 26 yrs. old and after 3 kids in 4 years have gained 72 lbs!  I became so self conscious of going out to public that I would make up excuses for why I had to stay home. Finally, I could not bear it any longer and went to my doctor. He prescribed phentermine 37.5mg. I am on my 2nd month and so far I have lost 22lbs! I am so excited!  I do 30- 45 mins cardio 4-5 times a week, and strength with a healthy food plan. I know some of you said that you are losing the weight without exercising, but I'm afraid of flabby ugly looking skin so I'm trying to stick to a lot of toning and cardio. I'm actually trying to do more workouts to hurry the weight loss along! The only side effect I have is the dry, fuzzy mouth. I really am glad for this!"


"I took two pills last night and the next morning I was sick to my stomach. I'm vomiting, dizzy, and nauseous. I can't even keep water down.
Be careful with this medicine."


"I just got through my first pack of Ortho Cyclen and have noticed a few side effects: increased sensitivity, vaginal dryness, spotting, and acne. I had really clear skin and never any acne problems before starting this pill (except the occasional pimple around that time of the month), but now it seems as though my face breaks out every few days. As for the vaginal dryness, I never had any problems with that before either. Now sex is really painful unless I make sure to use lube. Hopefully these side effects go away once my body adjusts."


"I have been on Implanon for about a month now, first of all I don't regret getting this type of birth control. It was painless to get put in, and if you are like me and forget to take the pill everyday with Implanon you don't have to worry about it at all. I was really scared when I first got it. I read all these reviews saying it was a terrible product. I have not had any irregular bleeding whatsoever or bloating. Implanon makes you want to eat a lot which is why people complain they gain weight, if you stay eating normally like I have been doing you will only gain about five pounds. The worst part I would have to say, is I always feel very sleepy. I will definitely recommend it."


"I took this drug at bedtime for GERD. Sick to my stomach all night long. Stopped taking it for one night and wasn't sick at all."


"Didn't work at all. I have a friend where the weight just fell off, so wanted to try it. He had side effects of lots of nausea and eventually stopped it because of that. I used it for six months at the highest dose and didn't lose any weight. Actually, I lost about 5 lbs the first month which is why I kept going, but regained that 5 and finished 6 months (at great expense!) with no weight loss. I will say I also had zero side effects. Nada. Zip. No nausea, nothing. Maybe having side effects is a marker for those it works in."


"I am an Active Duty female Soldier - my husband is deployed  - and I have 2 children one with autism - and yes I am a Soldier - and with certain events happening I was losing it bad. After 6 months my doctor increased my dosage to 40mg. It's been a week with the increase and I feel better. I am tired all the time and forgetful. I have to make lists - but I am dealing with it and going to therapy - try it - it does work."


"My D.O. and I worked for years to find something that would stop my daily hives and stuffy, runny nose without much success until I tried cetirizine.  My hives and extreme itchiness disappeared after the first dose, and I've been on it since.  For this, I rate it a 10.  Unfortunately, it didn't help my sinus situation at all.  I can't take a decongestant because every time I take one, I get bronchitis.  Silly, I know, but that's my body.  Because cetirizine doesn't help my sinus situation at all, it rates a zero in this category, giving the drug an effectiveness rating of five."


"I was on Tylox for 4 yrs to control pain in my Left foot. had 3 op on foot in 7 yrs. Tried every pain killer out there, but my pain was killing me until a doctor gave me this. I took this drug 4 yrs, then went off it myself, I had to cut back until I did not need it no more. Now I got wounded in IRAQ due to a IED, same leg.  Now left knee and same foot. Back on Tylox, only medicine that works for me."


"By reading the reviews I was shocked by all of the negative comments & terrible side effects. I've been on this pill for two months & I am loving it. I was on ortho tricyclen before and that was terrible. I got off of it due to how bad my mood swings were. Ever since I've been on this pill I haven't had any weight gain, my face is clear (every once in a while I'll get pimples on my face & breast) but I think that is because I live a very active lifestyle. My moods have been the same. The only difference that I experienced was my sex drive, it seemed to have decreased a bit but nothing major."


"This medication has wiped out almost all of my daily bouts of depression. For the longest time I would have depression daily and now to be free of this burden, this weight, it's like living in a different body. I love feeling more up beat, even the days when its simply a good casual uneventful day. I am happy and content."


"My daughter was finally diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive-type at age 16 after a lot of stress regarding high school academics and feeling "dumb."  Concerta has been nothing short of a miracle for her.  She finally ended up on the 54mg dosage and does very well.  The only side effect she has had is loss of appetite which she now knows to eat a healthy/big breakfast before her medication in the morning. She then eats a normal dinner. She has occasionally had insomnia if she takes her medication later in the morning or if she has accidentally had caffeine.  Overall, she is in a good groove with this medication and her SAT score went from 1600 to 2000 after medication and a prep course; GPA from 3.3 to 3.9."


"35 year history here of familial high cholesterol. Participated in medical studies many of these years-first for new statins, then other drugs. Lowest my overall cholesterol went was 259, that with max dose of Crestor and Zetia combined. Took that before and after triple bypass and stent on the 4th artery. Eventually all statins cause too much muscoskeletal pain for me but had to keep taking them. Up next was clinical studies for Praluent. Never knew for sure that I was on it. Today, 1 year after it was officially on the market, my cholesterol was 149!!!! Lowest in 34 years, from a high of 600! I will take any mild side effects!! I also get help with copay from PAN and worry their help will run out. Thank you God!!"


"I think maybe the 19 year old should have had something like Clonazepam prescribed as well.  I've been taking 150 mg of "V" in the PM for awhile now and at first in the morning I feel really shaky all over and wonder if I made a mistake, then I take 0.5 mg, the lowest dose of Clonazepam and I level off and stay that way the rest of the day."


"I had always been a chronic oversleeper and could never find a remedy. I have ADHD on top of insomnia and could never sleep even when I was a child. I literally overslept through morning classes until I turned twenty two. My first two years of college were terrible because of this. My life changed when my psychiatrist prescribed trazodone. I had NO side effects and could sleep entirely through the night with one to two 100 mg pills. For the first time in my life I felt "normal" and woke up before 3 pm and went to bed before 7 am. Your life will change if you get sleep and trazodone helps you in a way that leaves you feeling like you fell asleep naturally! It also works quickly. I definitely recommend it.

For those taking it for the first time, I recommed starting taking it on a Friday if you have to wake up for work Monday-Friday. The very first day I took it I slept a long time the next morning, but I think your body just needs a couple days to get used to it. Also, you have to go to bed at a decent time! I know I need about 8-10 hours of sleep, sometimes 12...so I go to bed around 8 pm on nights when I can. You waked up refreshed and EARLY that way."


"It helps with the cough but gave me uncontrollable diarrhea. I wouldn't recommend this product"


"I had this implant fitted in my arm on Friday. Since Monday I start developing a very nasty rash on some parts of my body, I had my eyes that swollen I couldn't even open my eyes. Doctors prescribed me steroids and everything but can't seem do to anything. It's Friday night now I am itching like mad and having horrible cramps!! My lip got so swollen I couldn't even speak yesterday! Lost my food appetite and I am absolutely out of words how much stress it caused me! I never in my entired life suffered with eczema or hayfever and never had any allergic reaction to anything! Wanted removed asap!!"


"24, no kids, virgin (this is to lighten my period) I had skyla inserted on Tuesday and so far so good. I'm not feeling crazy or depressed like I was on the mini pill and I barely spot, only a little brown discharge. I really should not have read all the terrible insertion experiences because it honestly was just uncomfortable like any other pap. There was a cramp that I'd give like a 3/10 on the pain scale( my doctor gave me misoprostol and I took 2 aleve an hour before). I have minor cramping every now and then but they say of course that's normal for the first couple of months. I'm also not as dry as I was on Nexplanon, the combo pill or the mini pill and I can say my physical attraction for people is returning."


"I began taking Effexor after coming off of Paxil. I did not like the weight gain and sexual side effects from the Paxil. The Effexor does not do either of those to me even though I have heard some people complain about it. It has also vastly improved my mood and depression. I have been using it combined with Depakote for the past few months and I feel much better then I have in years. My current dose is 150mg a day."


"I want to keep following up on my experience. I have now been on Belviq almost two months. This has been an amazing experience. I have lost 14 lbs, effortlessly. I don't have any side effects. I feel normal, except no cravings, no urge to overeat, no snacking, high satisfaction from eating normal portions of good food. Stopped biting my nails, it has to be the medicine. Each week, a couple more lbs. No food stress. I can't say enough about this medication! It's pharmaceutical willpower, best way I can describe it. I take only 1 a day, at 3:30 PM, works fine for me, script will last 2 months, saves me $$."


"I took the pill 3 hours after unprotected sex, he literally came inside me. I freaked out and made him buy it. Because I was in my most ovulated day. After taking it I experienced mild cramping nothing bad but I was able to handle. I recommend staying in. Bed the morning after. Because I was very drowsy and sleepy!! I literally took naps that completed 15 hours of sleep! More than half of a day hours!! Plus my appetite increased by a lot!!! I was eating and craving all in sight. I guess it was the amount of hormones in my body. On day 3 I experienced a lot of nausea but it went away and then 8 days later I got my period! Lord!!! It was painful cramps but pop some painkillers like advil or aleeve and you should be fine!!"


"I've been suffering from severe dysmenohrea (menstrual pain) since I was 14 years old. Every month I experienced nauseating pain from uterine contractions. Over the counter medications never helped me. I used Buscopan for 10 years and it completely stopped working for me.

My physician recommended Ponstel (Mefenamic Acid) and ever since I've been walking on clouds. It works wonders and COMPLETELY relieves my pain within 30 minutes. It works all day so I only have to take one pill in the morning. This medication saved me."


"My 7 yr old has been on Focalin for 5 weeks with no side effects.  His teacher noticed a difference in him on the FIRST day which amazed me. I didn't even have a chance to tell her he was taking it and she commented that he was more focused, better behaved, etc.  So far, it's been great!"


"I have SLE, and was prescribed Clarithromycin for respiratory/lung infection. I had  previously taken a course of antibiotics but it didn't work, and was thus prescribed Clarithromycin.

The first two days I didn't feel better, i was nauseated, still coughing like crazy, and vomiting/hacking out phelgm every 5 mins.

On the third day, my coughing subsided moderately and I didn't seem to be producing much phelgm.

But a metallic taste crept into my mouth and i was getting increasingly nauseous every time I took the medicine, to the extent that I vomited my food and perhaps the medication twice. It also gave me nightmares, hallucinations, palpitations, when I take it at night.

Now its day 5 and I'm considering stopping it altogether.."


"so far in 1st 6 weeks has lowered my eye pressure from 23  in both eyes to 14 in both eyes. It is a beta blocker so also can lower your blood pressure.  I've reduced that effect by putting pressure at side of nose-corner of eyes with my fingers, where  medicine can enter the blood stream. I recommend those that don't do this technique, see how to do it correctly on some instructional you tube videos."


"I was placed on Cymbalta for chronic pain as a result from injuries sustained in a head on car accident right before my 19th birthday that also caused 2 very rare recessive gene's to activate (hemiplegic migraines (neurological migraines) and Raynauds disease (circulation disorder) in my lower leg's and feet). At first the pain control was unbelievable. However, 2-3 months into my treatment I began having psychological repercussions where I felt like all my emotions were trapped inside my head. Although I felt angry, sad, happy, etc, I was unable to exhibit those emotions. Cymbalta was discontinued. My head injury was suspected to be the issue as to why I had the adverse reactions I did because my brain didn't function or process normally."


"My Doctor diagnosed me with dermatographia, and prescribed Singulair and Alavert.  The condition lessened, but did not go away.  I would still break out into hives on a daily basis, though they were not as frequent and covered a smaller portion of my body.  After a few months, she prescribed Vistaril in place of Alavert, and kept me on the Singulair.  Almost immediately, I noticed a significant change!  For the first time in months, I went an entire day without any hives - though I had to take the capsule four times a day.  If I took fewer capsules, my hives would come back.  I did experience severe drowsiness and a slight "euphoric" feeling, but it lessened over time."


"Don't be scared reading the reviews! I made the mistake of looking at this website's user reviews on nitrofurantoin and was so terrified of taking the pill, I had to call my PCP at night to calm myself down. It's really IMPORTANT to note that you have to take this drug AFTER eating a substantial meal. I was prescribed to take it 2 times a day, but whatever your dosage is - just remember to take it with food. There was only one day when I had the antibiotic after only eating a few pieces of fruit, and I suffered from mild nausea. But aside from that, I didn't have any other side effects - so DON'T BE SCARED! Just try it out with food in your system. Good luck!"


"Best birth control ever have not had any problems with this medication."


"Has Stopped my twitching, muscle jerks, and minor pain."


"I have been on rexulti for about a year. a lifesaver!! I'm no longer stricken by depression and doomed with sadness and unmotivated. Rexulti has given me life back and I actually want to leave the house and do things. great medication, not for everyone tho. I also did gain 30 pounds. only downside"


"I have been taking Nubain 2x a day for 11 years without ever needing to increase my dosage except for during hospital stays. I take it IV with Phenergan and it has allowed me to work a job AND enjoy watching my children throughout their recreational activities. Before Nubain I pretty much remained on the couch."


"I took this pill for birth control and to help my cramps.  It made my cramps so much better, hardly any at all.  When I got my period it was very light.  Spotting and just slight cramps.  I also did not get pregnant on this pill.  Those were the pros.  The cons were the lack of sex drive.  My sex drive greatly diminished, which was very frustrating for me and my fianc"


"I have found that Dextroamphetamine ER cap (AKA Dexedrine spansules) are best for treating my ADHD.  I have tried Ritalin and Adderall and both came with bad side effects.  Ritalin made me a zombie and Adderall had sexual and hyper-tension side effects.  The switch to Dextroamphetamine has increased my focus, alleviated my ADHD symptoms, and also increased my sex drive.  I had to take 10mg x 4 Adderall but find that 10mg x 2 Dexedrine ER works for me.  So I was able to decrease my intake of amphetamine while switching to Dexedrine.  After 1/2 year, I have found no negative side effects whatsoever."


"I started out on Darvocet many years ago for my knee pain and ended up on Percocets.  That was a horrible place to be after years of use and it would take so many more than prescribed to work.  Since I started taking methadone I haven't felt this good in the last 25 years of dealing with this pain and pain medicine.  I take what I am prescribed and even though I still am a bit uncomfortable my quality of life is so much better!"

"When I first started taking Desogen it seemed fine. As a few months went by I noticed that it made me cry a lot and I mean a lot. There was a lot of emotional ups and downs for me and a bit of weight gain. I also had very severe migraines as well as blurry vision but I guess its different for everyone. I stopped taking Desogen and all these side effects stopped thankfully."


"Made my asthma better."


"First 2 weeks emotionally draining. Uncontrollable mood swings. Breast enlargement, up two cup sizes. Bloating. Weight gain. Nightmares. Cravings.

Going on my third week, crazy mood swings have stopped, still up two cup sizes, bloating is going down, no weight gain. Nightmares rare. No cravings.

I eat healthy and exercise  daily. So the bloating is frustrating but I see it lessens as days pass. The mood swings were scary but it started the first week and it's over now. Thank God. I keep in mind it's a big hormonal change for my body and I'm hopeful the side effects completely stop when my body gets used to it.
I'm giving it 2 mths."

"I've been taking Tenuate for 2 months and I've lost 13.5 pounds! I don't have any side effects. My doctor told me to go at least one day a week without taking the pill and I've noticed that on those days when I don't take the pill I can eat like I used to. I'm kind of worried that when I stop taking the pill that I would gain all my weight back. I've read everyones posts and we all kind of have that same effect....you would gain weight back if you stop taking it. My problem is that I really like to snack ALL the time, but with taking this it really does suppress your appetite. If I eat a little too much I feel like I could throw up. So this pill really does work by helping you lose weight and to stop eating all the time. Try it!"


"I've been on Microgestin for about 6 months and it's worked very well for me. Light periods, no problems with acne, no cramps, not even mood swings nor drastic change in libido. Highly recommended."


"I have tried just about everything for migraine pain. I am sensitive/allergic to the triptans. Plus, most of them last about 4-6 hours, my headaches last about 36 and you aren't supposed to use them two days in a row. I use Stadol for relief from the pain when it becomes unbearable.  I use self-hypnosis, biofeedback, and Aleve but there are times when I need something stronger.  This works quickly and there is no risk of vomiting it up as with a pill.  "


"I got skyla on August 23. The doctor gave me Ibuprofen about 10 mintues before. So she went in with 1 swab of numbing cream and 2 shots. It took her awhile to insert it because I wasn't dilated all the way. It didn't hurt that bad during the procedure. When the procedure was done they had me lay on my side and I was turning pale and cramping alot afterwards. I asked if I could get up and go to the restroom. So I got up and the doctor asked if I was okay. I said no I feel like I'm going to faint. Next thing I know I'm on the ground with the doctor beside me. When I came back into the room a laid down somemore until my mom got in the room. I was begging to leave that instant but they wouldn't let me go. Because the cramps were so bad I couldn't go to school for the rest of the day. It's September 22 and I've been cramping and bleeding everyday since. I've been hot all the time and I've been eating more than usual."


"No side effects, same as Copaxone."


"I hadn't had a "satisfying" bowel movement for weeks. Just a little bit here and there. I weight lift and monitor my calories and weight so I knew the constipation was getting serious when my weight was up by at least 5 lbs despite being on a "cutting" diet.

I took miralax over two days (two doses total )- and wow, it really worked. Once I went to the bathroom, it was like a floodgate opened (sorry for the graphic description). But it came out firm yet soft.

I had no painful urgency or side effects, just a natural urge to go.

The only negative side effect I had was painless gas. Lots of it. But totally worth getting back to a regular state.

I'm going to keep taking this for a few more days just to make sure I get back to regularity."


"This has to be one of the worst drugs I have ever been prescribed , the side effects are horrible , and have to take more medication to deal with them ! I started off on 50mg , then was weekly increased to 200mg . After 6 months of feeling like death I have decided to wean myself off of them . Everyone I talk to seem to be taking them , they appear to be the fashionable drug at the moment ( probably the cheapest )  and I have heard good and bad reviews , but everyone I've spoken to has some kind of ongoing side effects . Definitely not the drug for me , can't wait to get off of them and hopefully start to feel more human again !"


"I was suffering from extreme panic disorder, could barely leave the house, didn't think I would ever feel like myself again. I was put on Celexa and within a few weeks I started doing things that I thought I would never do again. I didn't think I would be able to go to college but with the help of Celexa I went off to college and felt like myself again after a few months. It was still a struggle at first, don't get me wrong, it is not magic, but it makes the panic manageable. I would definitely recommend the combination of this and CBT."


"I was started in 5mg. No effect. Then went to 10 mg.  Oh my god I feel absolutely fantastic. Intrusive thoughts are easier to brush off a little bit of increased appetite and tiredness and that's it!! Brilliant. This is the only one that's worked for me!! I have been on sertaline and prozac and they were no good. Fab drug. Will be staying on this one."


"I've been taking 2.5mg for a month with great results and no side effects, until the weather got colder so the doctor increased dose to 5mg, partly because he wanted a better result to my high blood pressure as well. The sudden increase has caused severe sleepiness and a tight chest. I cut back to 3mg for now to ease into it and will increase to 5mg if/when the side effects decrease. I believe in caution and I know my doctor takes the same stand."


"I started as a size 26 weighing 285 pounds on May 15th 2015. As of right now, November 1st 2016, I weigh 173 and am wearing a size 12. I take Belviq twice a day, walk for at least 30min per day as I walk the dogs and I use Lose It! to track my foods so that I am aware of what I eat. Even if I go over my recommended daily caloric intake, at least I know where I stand. This has worked perfectly for me and my weight loss, I've been very successful. The only thing that changed for me was adding in Belviq, I was already doing the rest for at least a year prior avg was unsuccessful. So, I credit Belviq for my success."


"Went in Novemeber to have my nose put back in place as it was broken. They applied a patch to me + other meds before, during, and after and still got sick. Woke up the next morning with my heart skipping beats and racing. I called their center, they convince me I'm dehydrated. As I am no longer puking, I remove the patch and drink water at the same time. Don't think anything of it. In February, I went under to get my meniscus fixed and an ACL put in my right knee. Patch goes on, into surgery I go. I wake up disoriented with nurses and doctors yelling in my face that I have to wake up. I become slightly coherent and notice I have nurses all over my body trying to find a better IV site (had 18 pokes-very hard to find my veins) to administer drugs because my heart was in AFIB going about 185 beats and skipping. They try several drugs ,15 more people enter the room, the cardiologist and his team are called down, and the crash cart is paged to my recovery room. They JUST managed to find a drug that took my heart down to 120-135 beats seconds before they were going to administer the paddles. Several hours later in the hospital room (I had to stay) I managed to connect the dots and talked to the anesthesiologist. I take off the patch and within 5-10 min my heart went down from a stable minimum of 120 beats to 85. I had to receive 3 heart ultrasounds, 2 EKGs, and wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks under the care of the cardiologist that I had to see for a month and a half."


"Made stomach upset early on, gurgly/hunger feeling. Goes away. Severe prolonged sub-clinical hypothyroidism resulted in needing this medicine. Makes my Cytomel work. And reduced my anxiety to manageable levels. Even the little painful scab bumps I used to get on my scalp are gone.. gone! Those things were as painful as a bee sting the day after."


"I started having PMDD when I was 24, I would be depressed and suicidal for 3 weeks every month, and I knew those feelings were not real so I try to fight it by exercising/yoga/massage/oils. After 3 years I finally decided to try birth control. I've read bad reviews about Yaz but it's what doctors recommend for PMDD. I decided to give it a shot. The first week I felt nauseous with migraines. But on the first month my suicidal idealisations are gone and I felt like I'm just having normal PMS. I'm starting my 3rd pack, and really happy with the results."


"Omg horrible I have been getting breakthrough bleeding and here I am today on my second week and I am spotting..... not only that but I can cry on the dime and it is so annoying I called my doctor today and they're switching me to Ortho Tri-Cyclen"


"The side effects of this cream were bad. Very painful sinus, swelling of throat and inside mouth, continuous cough on chest, headache (don't usually suffer headaches, dizziness). May be good for some people but not me. (I am 74)."


"I have been suffering from what I thought was sinus pressure. Only to find out it was a migraine. This has been going on for two days. Vomiting , pain piercing my right eye and neck pain. About an hour after taking this med almost all my pain and vomiting is gone. I'm in love with this pill. Great med."


"I just started using Campral only two days ago and have noticed an immediate change--no urge or desire to drink.  Is this possible or am I that desperate for the "silver bullet"?  I've managed a few months of sobriety before relapsing.  Even when not drinking, there was always that constant urge/desire.  Just about all the reviews have described an almost miraculous change in behavior.  I can only hope."


"Clear up moderate to severe hormonal acne in a matter of days and have helped with not a single breakout in months ."


"I chose the Paragard since it was hormone free and a long term birth control option. Insertion wasn't very painful, but I did bleed for 4 days afterwards. The first 6 months my periods were extremely painful and 7-8 days long. After 6 months the cramping wasn't as bad but the length of period remained. I've had it over a year and have noticed some extreme differences in my life. I feel fatigued often, have gained 10 lbs without a dietary change, my mood swings are crazy. I can't prove that Paragard is the cause of these, but I have a great reason to believe that. I am having it removed this week and I cannot wait."


"I had Skyla inserted in October of 2015. The insertion wasn't very painful at all. There was a pinch when they inserted it, but nothing more. I had taken 2 ibuprofen prior to the procedure. For about 2 months after the insertion, I had constant spotting, which was pretty annoying. Since then, my periods have been normal. Twice, I have gotten pelvic cramps after having sex, though I am not sure whether this is related to the IUD. Overall, it is more than worth it to have the peace of mind that I won't get pregnant."


"I have been using this for about one year now but I don't like it. I have gained over 56 pounds and have had really bad back pain and my husband says I have become really hormonal. I don't think this is a bad birth control but I don't think it is the one for me."


"Have had RLS since I was 10 years old (now 62 yrs old). In my 20's RLS really started causing me problems. I have had different types of medications, dosages and combinations. My doctor put me on .5 mg Mirapex three times a day. Usually only take it twice, afternoon and bedtime, unless I am having a bad day of RLS. Mirapex has been fantastic for me. If I am very active during the day, I take a pill in the morning. Never experienced side effects. Some evenings the RLS stays active, I get up take a 15 minute hot bath, back to bed, this seems to resolve this problem. Every nerve in my body now becomes unnerved for about 5 minutes 30 minutes after taking Mirapex. My Neurologist said the RLS is problem since I have had RLS for over 50 years."


"I'm already on a BP med, but my PCP wanted to start me on losartan because of diet-controlled diabetes. I started at 25mg/day, but, after a week, she increased it to 100mg/day. The first two nights were wrecked with insanely severe back pain (I have a long history of degenerative arthritis in my spine, but this pain was insane!) and the 3rd culminated in a full blown 24-hour anxiety/panic attack the likes of which I have never dealt with (I also take meds for depression/anxiety). I also have a long history of IBS and have had 3 days of watery stools. I refuse to live like this... There has to be a better way. I cannot wait out the "week or so" for the side effects when I already had these issues to begin with..."


"I was prescribed Lo Loestrin by my ob to reset my ovaries since my hormones are all over the place and my period were very long cycle and irregular. She recommend me to take it for two months. I finished taking my first pack and I didn't get any severe side effects, just breast feeling tender and swollen. I also got spotting during my third weeks of taking it. And I didn't get any withdraw bleeding during my two placebo pills. Hoping Loestrin would regulate my hormones after I finish taking it for two months so I can try conceiving again."


"I have been on Lantus for over 3 weeks and I feel I HAVE less control of my sugar levels.  I take 22 units at bedtime, and it isnt lowering my levels like it should.  Per doctor, I cannot take regular insulin with it as the Lantus is a 24 hr dose. So if my level spikes to sway 435, I can't take a shot of regular insulin to bring it down, I have to ride it out till bedtime when I can take another does of Lantus.  I would rather take regular insulin every 6 hrs than do the Lantus, as It gives me more control of the dose I need for my sugar levels."

"I was on Sprintec for about 2 years. At first I was very nauseous and felt depressed/moody. 2 or 3 months took care of the depression, but for the whole 2 years I was on Sprintec I couldn't shake the nausea due to it being too high of a dose. Sprintec would've been great if it hadnt made me so nauseous."


"Painful insertion do to tilted uterus no spotting and back pain, should have went for hysterectomy"


"I have been on Sprintec for a year now. It is good in that it's only $9, it has prevented pregnancy, and periods are only a few days. Every time I start a new pack (after period) I get severely nauseated for several days, so I am finally going to go back to the doctor and try something different. During certain times I have very swollen and tender breasts, but that's not too awful to bear."


"The nexplanon caused me infertility. I got it removed 08MAY17 and I had to get labs done today. And I have to take pills to stop a period because I've had a period twice this month so heavy I had to buy super tampons for the first time ever. And for three months after taking the nexplanon out I had pregnancy symptoms so serve it would make anyone not want to be pregnant. It's been horrible, never get the nexplanon!"


"How to be a zombie 101... Quetiapine use for anxiety should not be allowed IMO."


"Worst decision I ever made as I am far worse now with frequency, always feeling like I need to urinate, UTIs and pain.  Can't sleep at night with going to the bathroom 8 or more times, and lack of sleep triggered my depression."


"I got Implanon on August 6th 2013. Soon after I noticed non-stop bleeding, and mood swings. I cried very often, and also ended a relationship. I went through depression, anxiety and had serious headaches. I haven't quit bleeding for more than a week since I've been on it. I don't recommend it to anyone under 18."


"I took my first Vivitrol shot 7/31/12. 3 hours later I was having the worst withdrawals one could ever imagine. The worst lasted about 2 days followed by 7 days of symptoms like constant anxiety, sleeplessness, muscle spasms, then 3 or 4 days of regular side effects. My Dr. told me that I may not have been completely detoxed when I took the shot and that might have been the cause of my extreme reaction.  I'm going to get my 2nd shot on 8/31.  I feel that without the shot the possibility of relapse will be greater, so the benefit outweighs the negative side-effects.  I'll let you know how it turns out."


"I have been on this pill for about a month in a half. I gained 20 pounds in about a month without changing my diet. I have been a complete antisocial freak who doesn't want to do anything besides sleep and be alone. My period was terrible and I went from having sex with my boyfriend 2-3 times a day to 2 times a week. I have been to a therapist because of how emotional I've been and I have wanted to drop out of college. The only "semi" good thing about this birth control is no babies and huge breasts. I went from a C to a DD which my boyfriend loves but me not so much. I am getting off of it."


"I am male age 65 years old. My nurse practitioner is trying to wean me off Valium after taking it ( 5 mgs) since I was 23..that's 43 years. It has been doing it's job for me. It gave me back my life.  I have extreme anxiety disorders. My original physician gave me no hassle. He died, and I had to get a new Doctor. Things were fine until this past year when out of the blue she recommended me getting off the drug. I never abused it, but she is adamant about it. So, I am trying..truly am. It's not going too well. I am wondering if I should find a new Dr. and take my records there.  I think my age has something to do with it, but getting off it is almost a nightmare. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I really would like some feedback from others."


"Atarax was very effective in treating interstitial cystitis.  I could not take the generic form.  I was told when I went to get a refill that it had been taken off the market.  Nothing has helped me as much as Atarax.  "


"I started using Oracea about four months ago and it has been good for the most part.  But it seems like my face is starting to break out again and I have noticed that my teeth seem dull or a little yellow.  "


"1983 sub zero air temps, transmission fluid blew into my husbands eyes/face. Burns all over his face. Silvadene cream applied and you honestly could not tell within 48 hours that he's had burns!  We've used it over the last 29 years as sparingly as possible when needed on various cooking burns.  "


"Been on for a month and totally love it. Skin is clear, no weight changes, and actually my mood is a little better overall."


"I have had chronic back pain for years, taking pain pills and was always constipated. I was miserable. My doctor prescribed Amitiza and I have had excellent results. No more straining and trying one laxative after another. Absolutely no side effects. What a great medicine!"


"Let me begin writing this comment about Lipo-Flavonoid that this is the only tinnitus treatment that ever worked for me. My ringing in the ear didn't changed at all with many other types of medicines.  Natural and hearing aids did nothing for me compared to how well this vitamin supplement worked. My tinnitus dropped over 50% which was a big deal for me.  This tinnitus treatment isn't a cure, it is good ear ringing medicine that helps with tinnitus.  It will not go away all together. Secondly, you need to be serious about this, you need to take everyday at a certain time for two months. If you get results that you tinnitus want, keep taking it. Lastly, those two months that you are waiting for it to work are rough. Be prepared mentally."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"My wife has been taken Midrin for 15 years after the try this and this, oh and try this. "IT IS THE MEDICINE FOR HER".  And now we find out they took it off the market.  It is the only thing she has taken that has worked. Thank you FDA and DEA."


"I had been taking Topamax for a year, but have just taken myself off due to excessive hair loss, loss of concentration and memory, and sleep problems. My hair was falling out by the handfuls every day, and the concentration and memory loss were preventing me from working as I am a translator. I have been on propranolol 160 mg daily for 2 years now, and have had good results from that with not too many side effects. I take rizatriptan when I do get a migraine and it stops it usually. If it doesn't I take Fioricet as well and that works."


"I had exactly the same thing happen to me as jayall and jall did.No breathing problems or skin problems prior, but on my seventh injection I got deathly ill with pneumonia,2 weeks in hospital with different antibiotics and antifungal. Had lung fluid drained , now have scar tissue and copd and psoriasis.Was and still on methotrexate and plaqunil and Orencia IV now.Joint pain not better after six months IV ,just upped IV dosage hoping for some relief. Humira Made things extremely worse for me but may work for others."


"After using Beyaz only for a month I have already seen a dramatic improvement in my acne. I have been suffering with acne for over a year and this birth control seems to be working. I%u2019m so excited. Only other side effects I have are occasional migraines and fatigue. But I'm hoping it will lessen as my body adjusts."


"We just started this a week ago and have not had good results yet.  My 11 yr son had been on Focalin for about 2 yrs for Aspergers Syndrome and was doing great, then like any other drug he's been on since he was 5, it just stopped working.  Sure wish I knew that this would work, but so far the results are not great.  His Doctor added his Risperdal back to try to cut down on the yelling out, singing at school, but so far I am not convinced that this is going to work.  We are sticking it out through this week and I pray that I start to see some results soon.  He does get very sleepy around 8pm and falls asleep on the couch. Last night was the first night that he didn't wake up during the night crying and saying he nauseous, yay!"


"okay so I came to this page after applying the medicine at night and burning for the next 15 hours. I wanted to see how it worked for everyone else and most of them had the same reaction. Although it was very uncomfortable, I have to admit it worked! the 1st night and day after was the worst, but after day 2 i noticed my symptoms from the YI and the medicine were gone."


"I started Neurontin 3 weeks ago for my migraines.  I started at 400 mg per day and now I'm at 1200 mg per day.  I'm supposed to go up to 1600 mg next week.  These are taken in divided doses. At first I didn't notice anything but today I woke up and I didn't have a headache (I've had daily headaches along with frequent severe migraines for the past 3 straight months).  A mild one came and went a few times today but I feel better.  I'm a bit sleepy and I've been having some trouble remembering things (words, what I've done, etc.) and I've noticed that I've been a little more moody (not by much) but overall I'm happy that my headaches have improved.  They were ruining my life."


"What a low-hassle birth control method! I love that I can easily insert it and forget about it for 3 weeks. It's flexible- you can use it continuously or on a cycle so that you get a period week - which I appreciate. I experienced a bit of breakthrough bleeding the first month, but other than that I experienced no negative side effects. The only thing I don't like is having to refrigerate it before use since I share the refrigerator with many other people."


"Do not go to sleep after taking! Take in the morning and cramping will be mild. If you go to sleep, you're body is not going to wake you until you're really hurting. Expect diarrhea for several hours so plan to stay home for the day. Starts working in about 3 hrs if you're awake. One 5mg tab is more than enough!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Was very nervous to take this prep. I ev e n cancelled my first appt.  I took this prep at 6pm and it's 745 pm and I only had slight tummy rumbling and  4 watery movements. Worst part so far is drinking the prep and being hungry. So far not bad. I'm just hoping it stays that way but I still have the 2nd dose to take in morning."


"It works but I haven't tried any other forms of testosterone so I am not sure how well it is working. It has been helpful to me though."


"After the first day of taking Concerta I feel like: Oh , this is how normal people feel like. The medicine did not get me hyper but instead it made me feel a lot more alive. Exactly fit my expectation. Thank you."


"I got my Skyla IUD placed yesterday at about noon. I am 18. 5/7 and 105lbs. The insertion for me was SOO painful! I cried my eyes out:( The opening of my uturus was so small that it took 4 tries inorder for the Skyla to fit. Luckily it did but the cramping and gas afterwards was bad.. Pain relievers and a heating pad and tums helped for a while but this morning they are back. So far I have had no bleeding hopefully all this pain will be worth it."


"I have severe back pain and have been prescribed norco 10 Mg 6x day for almost two years. I moved and got in with a new doctor. She prefers a conservative approach since I am young and there is risk for addiction with opiates. I am on Nucynta 100 mg IR and it works great. There really is no change in the way it helps with pain or makes me feel from the norco. I like the nucynta better personally. Only con is that it is expensive and insurance does not want to cover it."


"Atenolol

What a joke, sure it lowers your blood pressure at what cost ,you lose your inner well being thank God i found about Nitric Factor, I am now on 12.5 mg of Atenolol to keep my heart rate at about 60 even after alcohol. I was on 50 mg a day and really felt i was not enjoying my life as felt so ill !!!!!!!! My B/P is now 130/70 it was 160/90. I know we are all different but to be honest for me i hated the dose i was given with such horrific side effects for me. I only hope this helps just one person in life as these Cardiologists have no idea of the true side affects."


"I had Slyla inserted in August 2015 after being on the pill off and on for four years. The insertion was the most painful experience. I cramped and bled lightly for almost two weeks after the insertion and had mild paranoia from it. During my first period I had very sharp, very centralized cramps and lasted only for a few minutes but happened once a day for the first three days. I would always spot two weeks before my period as well. My periods did become slightly lighter. I noticed during my second month that my sex drive was gone and my husband noticed as well. I also started feeling depressed during the fourth month and noticed mood swings and weight gain. I've gained 10 pounds with no change to my lifestyle. I'm have it removed tomorrow"


"I had tried EVERYTHING over 35 years to stop smoking.  A nurse recommended Chantix.  It worked for me - first thing that ever did."


"My hair started thinning and falling out.  The dermatologist prescribed 100 mg of Spironolactone daily.  I had problems with high potassium levels so my dosage was decreased to 50 mg daily for a month and now I am back on the 100 mg.  I do not see any increased hair growth but it seems to have slowed down my hair loss. I have been on the medicine for 3 months."


"I recieved my second shot at the beginning of November. I had been bleeding constantly for almost 6 weeks beforehand, and have continued to bleed every day since. I despise wearing a pad 24/7 as I find them unsanitary and smelly, but not quite enough blood to warrant a tampon. Enough to make walking, running, & standing uncomfortable, and sex is absolutely out if the question."


"I am 24 years old, have had one child.  I got the Mirena put in about 9 weeks after delivery which was one week ago.  Didn't hurt at all. My doctor did use numbing spray on my cervix though.  After I left the doctors I experienced slight cramping and have continued too off and on for about a week now.  Spotting is slight and more of a brownish discharge then actual blood.  I have also experienced some yeast like symptoms, itching mostly.  My doctor says that this could be because my body is still adjusting to the Mirena.  Otherwise I'm very happy and will post again in a few weeks."


"Night before procedure: Tasted fine, like candy. It took 4.5 hours to work.

Morning of procedure: Not such a good taste the second time, but not repulsive either. Took 2.5 hours to work."


"I'd had a toenail infection on my little toe for over 10 years but in the last year it spread to my big toe and also to one of my wife's toes so it was time to challenge this thing once and for all.

I considered the various creams but these are fiddly, take time to apply and are expensive so I opted for Terbinafine. I was aware that some people experience side effect however the only minor side effect I got was mild diarrhoea in the first couple of days as my body adjusted to the tablet. After this everything was fine.

In total I was prescribed 42 tablets on 3 occasions, therefore took them for just over 4 months and I am delighted to report that both affected toenails are no perfectly pink again with all the fungus grown out."


"I didnt have a headache while taking Savela (I could only take it for 5 days due to severe side effects), but Savella didn't work for me. I experienced a rapid heart beat, chest pain, painful urination and stomach pain. I was only taking 50 mg/day.
My heart beat went from mid 60's-70's to 105. My blood pressure was changing constantly."


"So I started trinessa when I was about 15 due to irregular periods. It worked VERY well for me - a bit rocky at first, but after about 3 months, my periods were regular (I was having them twice a month) and my skin was much clearer. No cramps with little bloating. I got off of the pill due to my doctor being a bit forgetful of refills, and I didn't see a huge change until the every-two-week period came back. I am now back on it and am so thankful for it!!! 10/10 would recommend"


"Bactrim ds works for me. I had cystic acne all over my face and body it was so scary .I only work and stayed in the house but as soon as I stop taking this medicine I got  acne back all on my face."


"I am a 26 year old man who has mild depression. I constantly took my problems out on others and lost my cool at the first hint of a problem. Now that I am on Lexapro I am not 100 percent better but I'm at least 50%, which is better than nothing. I think if it wasn't for Lexapro I would have eventually had a breakdown."


"I'm glad I tried Afrezza, works well for me."


"I am 33 and have SLE with Raynaulds. I do not have high blood pressure, I am actually on the low side. I took this medicine at 3:30 pm and by 5pm I developed a severe headache, this headache continued all evening and at 9:30pm I was shaking severely, dizzy, and the headache was the worst one I have ever experienced. At that point I started to get very scared. Called my brother over just in case I needed to go to the ER. When he arrived he immediately wanted to call an ambulance. I ended up waiting it out and finally the shaking subsided. The headache still continued the next day, but it was not as severe. The night when everything was going on, I do not remember much of anything. I think from now on I will just keep my blue  fingers and toes."


"No pill is for everyone, but this medication honestly changed my life. I am 23 and have been on it since I was 17. Before it, I was miserable, couldn't focus, and constantly wanted to die. I struggle with GAD and Depression, and this medication has honestly been the only thing to make it bearable. My life feels manageable, and I know I can conquer anything. I interact with people in a way that represents who I really am, not in a way that reflects my anxieties and insecurities.  I almost didn't finish high school before Effexor and I now have a BA in Political Science and am heading off to law school.  Like I said, this medication isn't for everyone, but it honestly changed my life and I will forever be grateful."


"I have been taking antidepressants for around 30 years. Zoloft, prozac, bupropion just to name a few.
Last night was my first foray into mirtazapine 15mg soltabs. It took very little time to begin to work. I felt altered right away. Quickly I got sleepy and began hearing faint voices. Turned out I could hear my partners laptop on very low volume from across the room. My hearing is not very good so I would count that as a good thing if in fact it was her laptop.
I was soon totally wrecked, could hardy walk. I went to bed.
Had to use the toilet 5 times throughout the night. Lack of balance made this interesting.
I feel hung over and I can no longer concentrate to finish my story."


"I was on Effexor XR for over 9 years and it finally pooped out on me.  My Anxiety and Panic Attacks came back with a vengeance!  I was barely functioning, always afraid that I was going to drop dead.  My psychiatrist recommended a tricyclic antidepressant but I am afraid of those medications.  He then recommended Lexapro.  So I've been on Lexapro generic 10 Mgs for 2 and half weeks now.  I have mixed feelings about it right now.  The first week I felt no difference in my anxiety. The second week, I felt great! Hardly felt anxious and hardly reached for the Ativan.  I was sure this was the med for me.  Now I feel out of and a bit anxious again"


"Had cut my foot at a beach and was prescribed Bactrim, got the chills and chattering

teeth, told to continue and next day had severe diahareea and vomiting at same time

hospitalized for several days, body bloated to twice my normal size, near died, would

never take a sulphur drug again especially Bactrim."


"I have moderately severe sensorineural hearing loss. Xanax alleviated my tinnitus a great deal for a couple years. After that, I reached tolerance to Xanax and it was no longer effective. What's more, unless I increased the dose, the tinnitus was louder than ever. Because of tolerance, I was having withdrawal symptoms between doses. Since tapering off and discontinuing Xanax, I have been out of my mind with anxiety and loud hissing tinnitus. These will subside as my brain recovers from the damage the drug has caused. Please educate yourselves about benzodiazepines. Don't rely on your doctor because most of them are recklessly uneducated about the dangers of benzos.  0.5 mg. of Xanax is not a low dose; it is roughly equal to 10mg of Valium."


"Awful Birth Control - If your doctor has prescribed this to you, please ask them to reconsider because it truly shouldn't even be on the market. Spotting, nausea, headaches, weight gain, are all a few side effects."


"Hope you are all feeling a least a little bit better having used this medication. I suffer from depression, anxiety and severe neck and lower back pain. I have been on Effexor-XR for almost a year now. In my case, it has been a very good choice of medication, having tried many others.
It has reduced my depression and anxiety considerably, in addition to this, I had over time, developed a social phobia. I was always falling asleep and felt like I was turning into a junkie due to the the oxycontin medicines I was on for pain. Effexor-XR has eased this phobia to a comfortable level, I am now able to go out and feel comfortable around others."


"After using Synvisc for years, I tried Synvisc-One this week. The process of Synvisc was somewhat painful and I walked away with minimal pain. Synvisc-One was excruciating. For the first time, the injections (one in each knee) were incredibly painful. I sat for 20 minutes in the exam room working up the nerve to walk to the waiting room. Then I took 30 minutes to work up the nerve to walk the 35 yards to the car. After 3 days, I am starting to walk again without severe pain. This was the first time I had it, and in 6 or 8 months I'll do it again. Just know it is a bigger syringe, a bigger dose, and a much bigger needle. In the end, I believe it to be a good cushion for my knees, and will be longer lasting."


"I was on this birth control for about three months. The only positive thing I have to say about this pill is my breasts grew a little bit. That being said I did not like this pill otherwise, it gave me bad cramps, my breasts were very sore, and for a while thought I was pregnant because of the side effects that I was having (I wasn't pregnant). The worse side effect though was my period. My period has always been normal and comes at the same time every month for about 5-6 days. This pill made my period come every other day for the three months I was on it , and when my period stayed I would have it for about 10-14 days which absolutely sucked. I have since switched birth control and will never take this again."


"My grandaughter ran a 102 fever that night so the next day we took her to the doc. And they gave her tamiflu after testing her twice, the first came out negetive then the second was positive so not knowing any of the side effects we gave it to her after she had eaten and gave it to her with applesauce and thank god she had none of the side effects everyone has mentioned ,so we gave it to her for two days and she is not running a fever now so where sending her back to school. I don't know if she really had the flu or not since me and my wife was sick for a week before she got sick and we both had low fevers for three days and congestion and cough.  After reading all the horror stories I will never take it. Just suffer it out and run its coarse."


"Dry Mouth
Severe Gum Soreness and pain"


"Hi. I have always been sick with each pregnancy and was put on Zofran. It worked sometimes. I have been taking Diclegis for about a month and it work the same as Zofran for me. Sometimes it work- other times it doesn't. I am up to 4 polls per day. Sometimes I still throw up and feel nauseous - like today. I guess the best thing for me is to get my tubes tied. I can't deal with this whole pregnancy thing ever again. I know one thing for sure that this is the very last pregnancy for me."


"Didn't want to be on any birth control. In the past I've been on the shot, the pill, nuvaring, hated it all.
Gyno said I should be on bc so now I'm on the patch. Been on it less than a month and it's a terrible experience. I'm throwing up all the time, stomach hurts, boobs hurt so bad, so moody I don't want to be around myself(can go from crying because it's the most ridiculous thing to wanting to rip somebody's face off for breathing in seconds), when I think I'm done bleeding it starts right back up, I eat everything because I'm always starving, and I'm breaking out. :("


"I had colonoscopy done with propofol.I am a physician who previously had a colonoscopy with Versed and did great. I asked not to use propofol,but got persuaded into going along with it.It was a nightmare as I awoke with projectile vomiting,severe abdominal pain and distention even though my colonoscopy was totally normal.I have been sick for days.I recently read an article in consumer reports about propofol being used excessively and unnecessarily in colonoscopies and they are correct.There are major risks with this drug even after the fact.These are unnecessary risks when one can use conscious sedation with Versed and not have these side effects or risks.Propofol is being used to speed the turnover in the recovery room....not for safety."


"I've been on Pristiq for about a month now. The results have been varied. It's hard to gauge exactly how it has affected me, because my fianc"


"After about a week on this birth control I started to get awful acne and had to stop taking it after two weeks. According to my doctor, a side effect for some people is worsening complexion. It also made it very difficult to sleep and wake up in the morning. All of these side effects stopped a few days after I was taken off the pills."


"I have a bunch of issues in cervical & lumbar spine. I'm delaying neck surgery indefinitely & am still in the injection phase of attempted treatment for lumbar. I take pain meds & had used flexeril, but it didn't work well at all. So dr replaced flexeril with this at 4mg 3x/day. It helped, but not enough. Now on 8mg 3x/day.  This dosage helps the spasms, but had to lower AM dose back to 4mg or I can't stay awake. 2nd dose I take either 4 or 8mg, depending on pain & spasms. At bedtime I  take 8mg, which pretty much knocks me out. At least this way I get a couple hours deep sleep, which is hard to come by with constant spinal pain.  Side effects: sleepiness, very dry mouth, some constipation.  Worth it - it helps!"


"I've had Nexplanon in for almost three years now (got it after having my 2nd kid).  I got it because like others I couldn't keep up with taking BC pills every day.  It took about 6 months for my body to get used to it.  I don't have a period for 3 months which is great, but then I bleed for 3 weeks straight (not fun).  The Acne it causes comes and goes, and my mood swings are major but I guess every woman has a different reaction to it. I'm supposed to get it removed in 2018...I'm not sure if I want to stick with it or try something else.  But after my body finally got used to it I figure why try something else that will throw my body out of whack.  The implant does it's job, but the side effects (like other Birth Control methods) suck."


"I recently stopped taking trivora after using it for 2 years. It gave me a reoccuring bacterial vagenosis and a yeast infection. It also made my anxiety really bad and gave me mild depression. I also gained a lot of weight on the pill throughout the years. It was really effective in preventing pregnancy though, I was having unprotected sex with a partner for a year and did not get pregnant. Although I would say all the cons outweigh the pros. Would not recommend this drug for the reason being mental sanity."


"Worked well in terms of stopping my cough, but even at the lowest dose (5ml) I got extreme nausea and vomiting and had to switch to a different hydrocodone-based syrup."


"My boyfriend and I were having protected sex, the condom ripped and I sent him to the drugstore after a minor freak out because we are no where near ready for children.  I am on birth control but missed my pill that day so I took plan B just incase.  I took it within 2 hours post unprotected sex.  The side effects I experienced were cravings, discharge, fatigue, cramps and mood swings.  I looked at reviews for hours and hours, and was confused because the side effects for periods and early pregnancy are very similar, which was scary to read while so stressed.  The wait for your period is the most killer part of all, mine came 3 days late but its here!!! Trust me ladies you will be fine."


"I took one pill of this as it's supposed to help with treating nausea. At the time, I was experiencing severe nausea and this pill did absolutely nothing to help me. It caused stomach upset, which I find to be really weird. As it is supposed to be designed to get rid of such."


"I started 500mg at 5pm when I returned home from Urgent Care.  I was diagnosed with a UTI/Bladder Infection. I was severely uncomfortable, unable to empty my bladder completely and had spasms in my bladder.  By 11pm I could feel the pressure in my abdomen start to decrease.  After the 2nd does at 5am in the morning I am feeling better.  I can completely empty my bladder now and the spasming has stopped.  Levaquin is too harsh for me because my tendons start to ache, unable to sleep, anxious and restless by the 2nd or 3rd day into treatment.  I do much better with Cipro because side effects of feeling a bit restless don't kick in until about the 6th or 7th day which is a full treatment.
Just don't take with dairy or iron."


"Works great to stop anxiety and panic attacks. I take the low dose 0.5 mg pill only when needed. However, after using it occasionally for 2 years, I feel I am a little emotionally dependent on it. If I'm out of these pills, I feel nervous. I would recommend using this pill only when in panic or anxiety and also learning other coping strategies, such as regular exercise, meditation, self-talk, yoga, crafts & artwork or something fun & productive, or a relaxing bubble bath!!!"


"I started depo when I was 14. Stayed on it for a year (4 shots) with no periods or period side effects, just some spotting. The first 2 shots, I had lost 15 lbs, and the second 2 shots I gained back that 15 lbs plus another 20. So 35 lbs later, I decided to switch to the pills. I was on aubra for about 2 weeks before I had to stop due to extreme nausea. After that, I tried nuvaring, only to find out it wouldnt sit properly and caused burning and itching. so then, I switched to a non hormonal IUD (paraguard). I stayed on the paraguard for about 7 months before I had to have it removed for extremely heavy painful periods. After all this, I'm back on depo. I just got my second shot today. Lost about 8 lbs already. No symptoms but spotting."


"I've taken Coreg CR for 3 years now since I was diagnosed with CHF. I was 425 lbs of sick puppy.

Now I'm 225 and taking short walks. THis stuff saved my life. The side effects are minimal and manageable. If you feel dizzy take your coreg with food. A banana will stop the Nausea cold.

I'd hug the people responsible for this drug!

Thank you!"


"I have always been fearful of public presentation and had a lot of nervous

symptoms but it was manageable and I was on an antidepressant on and off. It wasn't until I got into the medical field that I started shaking in my class when I had to do blood draws in front of the entire class and my reaction really surprised me. My PCP thankfully rx'd me propanolol 10 mg which I took before blood draws and presentations and it completely took away shaking/blushing/lump in throat. Now I'm working in the medical field and I have to take everyday because my work is fast pased and I'm not sure when an anxiety reaction will show up. I have to use it when training new people and when someone is teaching me a new task."


"This is very strong medication. I came from abroad with a bronchial infection and had to see my doctor. Cephalaxin and Clarithromycin prescribed to me abroad by doctors apparently could not suppress the infection and my doctor put me on Avelox on a 7 day course. I finished the course with great reluctance yesterday. It did relieve the symptoms to a great degree, but the side effects have been severe. I have severe loss of appetite, continue to be nauseous, lethargic, experience loss of energy and became dizzy. I had extremely uncomfortable palpitations, tightness and pain in the chest throughout the course, and several sleepless nights. I have lost nearly 5 pounds over the seven days."


"I started taking one pill a day in October, switched to generic, which didn't work so the doctor suggested I take 2 a day. Still nothing, so I switched back to Prilosec and continued to take twice a day. Works pretty well, except for some days when I need to use a backup of tums or Zantac."


"Works well but the taste is horrid."


"I just have to write this because what people told me seems to be right. People only come on these sites to complain. So I'm here to give a positive review. I just finished my first dose of suprep and ran through the runs that go along with it. I did feel nausea about half way through the dose but it fades quickly once I started drinking slower. It kicked in in about an hour and lasted for about 2 hours. After the initial nausea passed I had no issues whatsoever. It did its job. It didn't give me cramps or headache.

Also the taste really isn't terrible. I'd compare it to salty Gatorade. Just don't take huge swigs of it and you'll be fine.

Overall I'm not too nervous about my second dose. Not a terrible experience at all."


"I took my fourth dose (0.6) of Victoza last night. Easiest thing in the world...I've never self administered an injection before and this has been easier and shockingly, without pain!
It was suggested to me, that to avoid the nausea, I ought to eat less each time I eat and eat s-l-o-w.....which makes me more thoughtful about the food I eat. Thus far, I have had no nausea and I have dropped a few pounds already, which keeps me motivated to keep doing what I'm doing. I'm not happy to be on "shots" but it could be a whole lot worse! I'm looking forward to more weight loss."


"I have been on Atripla successfully for over 2 years but now am having increased trouble concentrating and remembering things that I used to take for granted.  I used to be a very sharp and alert person, but now I am seeing my doctor on Monday to ask if I can switch to something else because my depression and concentration is unbearable.  I am a very high functioning partner at a firm and I am noticeably less sharp! I am bummed because I don't want to switch yet!  I thought I would be on this for 10 years before I had to find something else.  Also fatigue and muscle loss is more evident.  I am however grateful that my counts are very good, but wow - I need to get a grip on my joy and alertness again!"


"Ive been on saxenda 6wks now with absolutely no side effects and have lost 7kgs and 10cms from my waist yes its expensive yes it has risks but so does being over weight for so long.."


"I was so unbelievably petrified when I had sex and the condom broke. I ran to cvs the second it opened which was around 8 hours after I had sex. They were out of plan b and aftera was the only option. I figured better than nothing. I googled the entire day, it said I was in my highest fertility window and I had absolutely no side effects. That made me even more nervous. I woke up today knowing I should get my period in absolute panic but it worked. I wrote this because I didn't find many happy reviews and I really could have used one while I was excessively googling. I hope this helps one person. I am one happy customer!"


"I have taken Prograf since my liver transplant eight years ago.  Very few side effects. Nothing compared to dying with liver disease. Very blessed from the drug and my donor Spencer."


"I've got Lupus and RSD from a recent total knee replacement surgery. It's only been 8 weeks that I've been on it. I started out on 200mg 2x a day, then to 300mg 3x a day, then to 600mg 3 times a day and now 900mg 3x a day. Still waiting on some relief. Every week they keep raising it. Before I had the RSD it worked fine now it seems like I have to go higher. How much is to much??"


"Like another girl said, don't read these reviews if you are about to get Skyla. I am only writing my own personal experience of it so that girls who have the same heavy periods and weird cervical issues know what to expect. My doctor was a pro and it only took ten seconds. However, it WAS PAINFUL. Don't let anyone tell you it won't be because I guarantee every single person who has gotten one in has at least felt a pinch from the cervix opener. That was the most painful part. And I have a high pain tolerance. No kids, 22. But once again, everyone's body is different. The pain from contractions after was way worse than the insertion. But I will update after a week. I've been on almost every pill. Take STRONG pain meds prior and after and SLEEP!!"


"Been on this for just a week now at 25 mg also on 50 mg of amitriptalyne  of a night. The first few days I felt really spaced out, but sort of kept coming in waves through the day. I also suffer from m.e as well but have found the past few days I have had lots of energy. I don't feel tired at all. Supposed to up dose to 50 mgs on second week, but I'm thinking may stick to the 25 for a little while to see how things go. No migraines up to now.
Reading all the reviews most of the side effects seem to come when the dose is increased. Really worried about the hair loss business, don't think I could deal with that one .
Think I'm going to give this a go for a few months and see how things go, it's all trial and error, or kill or cure."


"68 year old male who has had Psoriasis for 46 years with coverage up to 90% of my body.  No one would initially R(x) me methotrexate so I flew to Trinidad from Canada to see a doc there that would prescribe it.   After the initial treatment I was totally free for three years then it came back. I was on every research pgm my cream  passes could put me on PUVA, Soralyn, vit A, coal tar, retanoic acid, that stuff that turns everything purple (can't recall name).  Finally I had to see a head shrinker as I was fairly emotionally messed up.  He R(x)ed me methotrexate 2.5x3 every 12 hours for 36 hours,  said not to drink and that I should get liver bios.  I've had 10 invasive liver bios in 46 years 10 years ago I said no thanks no more. I'm clear."


"Just came off Lithium and Lamictal combo. I needed a change plus having surgery, have pain medication needs that can't be addressed with a drug like Lithium. Loving the Geodon so far. Energetic and "lifted," sleeping like a baby. I hope it lasts."


"Took half dose, 15 mg, and spent two days feeling terrible. It caused chest and back pain, shortness of breath, confusion, dizziness, anxiety, and a general really sick feeling. It did relieve angina but it was not worth the side effects. Really bad medicine."


"I felt healthier than I had in a long time, while taking this medicine. I had energy without the jitters.  Great appetite suppressant as well."


"32 year old male with Nail Fungus on left thumbnail. 4 years ago I closed my thumb in my car door at the center of my nail. The nail never healed right and fungus set in within a couple months. I got terbinafine and started on April 15th 2010 with 60 day prescription. I took the pill at night before bed with 3-4 glasses of water. I drank a LOT of water. Never really had any side effects. After first 30 pills I could tell the fungus was dying. The nail looking healthier. After final 30 pills it was dead. As of today August 30th 2010 there is no trace of the fungus on my nail. If it was on my feet I would've never taken this medicine due to all the side effects I read about here. I also stayed away from alcohol completely, which is recommended."


"I absolutely love Ambien. Love it. However, building up a tolerance sucks, the drug testing sucks, having to have a doctors appointment monthly to get a prescription sucks, and knowing I'm taking something I know I could become dependent on sucks. No groggy mornings, if taken within a half hour of going to bed I can fall asleep easily, and a few funny text conversations to wake up to. I have tried SO many things and this is so far the only one that has even helped."

"I have been on this medicine exaCTLY A MONTH. My right foot, which was affected is having smooth skin no itching the nail is getting harder and better. I love the fact when foot touches the sheets is not snaggling and is not itching. However I have nausea, upset stomach some headaches, tired and my skin on face is very sensitive slightest scratch it swells ups and red. I have a rash on my upper hard palate that just came on yesterday. I want to finish the course I will have to see. I wish there was a single shot that would take care of this. Why is there such a tedious fungus that has to be eradicated in this fashion? "


"I tried several other medications to treat my anxiety and panic attacks, this is the only medication that made me feel good without feeling like a zombie.."


"Honestly this stuff is extremely effective and will make you poop a LOT, but I'm not sure if it's worth the awful pain in my stomach! :/"


"I have been taking Topiramate for about 3 years for depression along with Viibryd. I did lose 30 pounds and do have some memory problems. But what I have discovered is, my hair has been thinning out. My hairdresser told me that she has been noticing the last 6 months that my hair is a lot thinner and has been wanting to tell me. This prompt to go on line to see if my medicine was the caused of this. The 1st few comments I started reading were people saying their hair thinning out. So I am going to assume this medication is culprit of my hair thinning. What do you think?"


"Unfortunately Humira did not work for my plaque psoriasis. I have psoriasis on the trunks of my legs, elbows, arms, hands and did not experience any clearing after 5 months."


"I take 150mg at night and it's the best medicine I've ever tried. It does make me very hungry."


"I'm 56 and have lost the lead in my pencil.  I had not had relations with my wife of 30 years for about 2 years.  This affliction was combined with Premature ejaculation, which my wife has always hated.  I finally got some Cialis (20mg) and Poxet (30mg).  Have tried  them both and the results were incredible.  We are both very happy.

"Just finished my first week at 0.6 and was quite ill all week.  Headache and nausea being the main symptoms along with mild fever and lack of energy... But I'm down 7lbs ! No wonder though, I hardly ate. I'm a little nervous about upping the dose to 1.2 tomorrow as I'm just starting to feel better, but I'll give it a shot. If I find it's too much too quick I will go back to 0.6 for a while longer until my body can tolerate it more. Even though I was sick, the 7lbs lost in that first week was worth it and gave me that boost I needed. I feel motivated now."


"okay so the night before I got the skyla I read tons of negative reviews but I can honestly say this is the best thing I could have done for myself! I was always forgetting to take the pill so this sounded like a good option. the procedure wasn't as bad as people made it out to seem. the only uncomfortable part was when the doctor measured my cervix but it only lasted 30 seconds. I felt light headed after but it went away in less than a minute. I barely had any cramping and it's day three and i feel amazing!!! 10/10 would reconmend"


"I have been dealing with constipation on and off for a month.  I had taken some stool softeners with limited success, and my mom recommended that I try Dulcolax.  I took two pills at 10 PM.  I started feel rumblings in my stomach around 45 minutes later, so I did some research to find out if that was normal.  I saw all the negative reviews and immediately drank 32 more ounces of water on top of the 8 I had taken with the pill.  I slept soundly through the night and had three bouts of diarrhea followed by a normal BM in the morning.  I was completely done within one hour of waking up, and I had a normal day after that.  I didn't have any cramping, sweating, nausea,etc."


"I just got it put in April 2015 and I am about to get it taking out because I stay tired. I always wanna sleep. I have mood swings all the time. I do not feel like myself. I'm just starting to see my period and its January 2016. I'm going with out any birth controls because none of them are good for me."


"I have on phentermine for 4 years on and off. 3 times total. First time I lost 55 lbs,second 35 lbs and Now I am looking for 40 lbs. I started at 265 in 2009 down to 210 than in 2011 down to 195 than now I am 190 and looking to get in 150's."


"I had really bad acne and I would get made fun of but when my doctor gave me tretinoin gel 0.025 my face to this day is so much better my confidence is better I like looking at my self in the mirror I feel better this is such an amazing medicating!"


"I was prescribed Loestrin to get my irregular periods regular, and Gildess is the generic that my pharmacy carried. It did a really terrible job of regulating my periods, because they are crazier now than they were before. The first month, I spotted almost the entire month, but my period was on time, short, and light. When I didn't spot at all the second month, I figured it would be smooth sailing. Nope. My period was really early that month and longer than usual. I either had an extremely early period the third month, or heavy spotting accompanied by bad cramps and no period at all.

It didn't effect my sex drive, but it did cause me to have vaginal dryness for about the first six weeks of taking it, although thankfully that side effect did go away after a while. I found myself to be incredibly short tempered after starting this medication, but I think that side effect subsided (ask my friends, I guess haha). I also became alarmed at the amount of hair that was falling out, but a call to the doctor assured me that the hair is falling out faster, but also growing back in faster. I haven't noticed a change in the fullness of my hair, so I'll take her word on it. I have noticed myself having more pimples in the last month, but this could be related to stress, because I hadn't noticed it the first two months.

Bottom line, I'm giving it a six, because while it served me well as a birth control and I didn't get pregnant while taking it and most of its side effects subsided for me, it has served me poorly for the reason it was prescribed, to regulate my period."
