"My father was taking this dug two times a day every twelve hours. Started off good  then developed a rash. Then got terribly sick. Went to the hospital and went into total organ failure. Would not recommend this drug."


"I switched from Yasmin to tri-cyclen because my acne was so bad. I'm 26 years old and have been on some type of birth control since I was 18. I have had the worst experience of my life being on tri-cyclen. I was on it for a few months until I started to have very severe panic attacks. I didn't know what it was until after a few months of going through this hell I stopped the pills. As soon as I stopped them I haven't had a bad panic attack like that since and it's been 8 months."


"I have a similar experience to other reviewers. I had my gallbladder removed in 2002. And have had irritable bowel syndrome for 15 years, with each year it seems to get worse. I couldn't tolerate spending 1/2 my day in the bathroom. It was so awful that I looked for where the bathroom was at a restaurant before I ordered, just so I knew where to go when the meal was done. When the stomach cramps and the, "oh poop, I gotta poop" feeling came on. By the 2nd day of taking Welchol, it started working for me. I only went to the bathroom once, the entire day! For me, that was a miracle. I still try not to eat trigger foods or drink coffee (I LOVE coffee, but my stomach thinks otherwise) But at least I can live a normal life again, something I had forgotten about."


"This medicine is truly great. It helped to stop my bi-polar swings and keep me level. The only reason that I did not give it a 10 is that it only lasted 3 years. Then the symptoms came back but while it worked it was great. Hardly any side effects except some weight gain that may or may not be attributed to this drug. I would recommend this drug to anybody."


"Took Enbrel  with methotrexate for four years and it worked great. Developed optic neuritis in right eye and discontinued it. Optic neuritis is inflamation of the optic nerve and is one of the neurological disorder side effects of the drug. Changed diet to eliminate red meat and poultry and sugar and take natural supplements."


"My Methotrexate injections made me feel like absolute trash, BUT I am so thankful for this medication because it kept me from needing exploratory surgery to find my ectopic pregnancy. My ectopic was caught very early on due to being monitored with an RE. My number never went above 285. I was given the injection on 10/18/16 and my HcG levels were back down to negative as soon as 11/1/16. The only downside (other than the physical side effects) is that we have to wait 3 more months to try again because the drug can cause birth defects. I felt very weak and tired for a few weeks after my injection but after less than 1 month I'm starting to feel like myself again. If you're reading this and just found out you're having an ectopic-I'm so sorry."


"I was on Kadian for a few years and this medicine worked well for me. If the doctors prescribe it the right way (increasing the dosage every month or so) then it can be a very effective medicine. Sadly after several years I was switched to Opana."


"Before lolo I was on aleese and it was terrible for my skin. Before I changed birth controls I noticed my discharge was brown , my doctor said this was normal , but it slowly got heavier , and now that I've started lolo(a little over a week ago)  I have bad cramps and I've been bleeding the entire time on lolo. Also when I get up I'm very dizzy and easily exhausted. I'm not sure if it has changed my skin yet"


"I have nothing but great results from these pills, I was put on Amethia when I was 15 for very heavy and extremely painful periods so bad I would live on a heating pad for a week and miss school/work a few days each month) I've been taking it for 8 years now and have not had any noticeable side effects, no spotting, moodiness, weight gain or acne. My periods are much lighter and shorter, much more manageable. My only complaint is the price, normally my insurance covers it fully but between coverage when my deductible resets I end up paying close to $300 for a 3 month cycle pack."


"I have been on it now for 10 yrs & love it. Before I would be in bed for weeks with bad cramps, it was destroying my life. I get little cramping well the shot is due but I can live with that."


"I have recently started my 25 yo son with autism Risperdal. He has taken it when he was 13, but due to the combination of anti depressants and no improvement in his violent behaviour we stopped, but he did improve verbally.
After he refused to take anti depressants after 9 months of treatment with improvement made, he deteriorated over the next 7 months,  We insisted he try Risperdal, immediate improvement, 3 weeks in and he is more verbal and calmer with no more aggression.  He is sweet and happier again."


"I have had migraines since I was 13 years old. I started having them as soon as I started my period. I am now 24 years old. My grandmother(dad's mom) And my dad both suffer from migraines. I have tried preventive methods but have found most of them to be uncomfortable. i.e. I experienced a lot of numbness in my legs, feet, and hands. I have tried Imitrex, and hated every second of it. Every time I would take Imitrex I would experience a metal taste in mouth or that I was eating metal. When you have a migraine the last thing you want is to be more uncomfortable. One doctor told me I didn't suffer from migraines and that's how I found Frova. She told me if I "really" suffered from migraines it would work in 15 minutes to 1 hour. I LOVE IT!"


"I had sex the day of I was ovulating and the condom broke. I took plan b one step Aprox 3 hours later.

My period was 2 days late so I decided to take an at home pregnancy test which came out positive and 2 days later a blood test which came out positive. So for me it did not work. May be it was because I was ovulating at the time this happened."


"I've been using Epiduo for just under a week now, I've suffered with acne for as long as I can remember. On the first night I saw a significant difference and my skin improved quite a bit, the second night my skin burned majorly after putting on the cream, but i left it on because i'd read this was normal, and the next day my face just looked like it had been sunburned. I switched face wash's too - Cetaphil as it's non-comedogenic, this soothed my skin a lot. I've used it the same way every night and so far my skin is just breaking out more, but I'm hoping if I stay persistent it will clear, I've read this is the 'purging' stage! I will write another review when it's been 8-12 weeks."


"In Sept 2012 I was in car wreck that resulted in Several herniated Discs and Bulging discs, as the pain kept on and seemed to increase, I began getting depressed, mix that with trying to plan a wedding, starting a new job, and issues with my oldest child, last week (we are now in Feb 2013) I had 3 bad panic attacks, found myself crying all the time, generally unhappy, snapping at people, and just completely exhausted, stressed out, full of anxiety and depression. Was nervous about taking Celexa because of side effects from Paxil in the past, But I did this morning before going to work and halfway there I realized I immediately felt better than I have in a very long time. I am on 10mg and no bad side effects. I actually was happy today."


"On requip several yrs when it stopped working.  Switched to Mirapex 1 mg and had immediate relief.  Now, 6 months later, RLS back for 3 to 4 hours at bedtime.  Also some symptoms during day, so sometimes take .5 mgs during day with some relief.  No significant side effects."


"Wicked awesome. Works wonders. "


"Medication works fast - I received instant results. Amazing. If I only knew before, I could have experienced less miserable days."


"I've been on Ortho Evra for at least a year or two now, I don't exactly remember when I started. So far, it's been the best option for me. I have some negative physical side-effects at first (cramps increased and my skin tends to get somewhat irritated under the patch, although less and less as time goes on) but there are no emotional side effects for me, which was a big plus. I actually felt better on the patch at some points than I did off the patch. I've had very few times where it's fallen off, and I can usually get an extra patch for $20 at the nearest pharmacy. All in all it's been a good experience and it's definitely worth a shot if you have trouble remembering the pill like me."


"Have had back pain and leg pain since fall 2yrs ago, recently very severe. Started Gabapentin and now taking 900mg x3daily. Pain less but still not able to get on with most daily activities properly even though taking other painkillers alongside. Some side effects but surprisingly not sleepiness so still waking at night!"


"Was getting bad acid reflux within minutes of eating. After my EGD showed ulcers and inflammation my doctor put me on Dexilant 60 and within 2 days it was gone. My follow-up EGD showed no signs of ulcers, though I still have gastritis."


"I started Chantix in early March and was amazed at how well it worked. Within 2 weeks I stopped smoking with practically no urge to smoke while on the drug. I had only minor side effects such as nausea in the morning, a couple of times, when I started taking two 1mg pills a day. What I thought was even more amazing was that around week three I noticed I had stopped eating junk food and just felt like eating healthier. Soon after that I stopped smoking cannabis. I would often smoke a "J" in the evening while reading but the urge was just gone.  At this point I did start to experience some crazy dreams, but except for a few instances, I mostly enjoyed them. Felt the Best I had in years on Chantix. "


"I finished the loading dose with no improvement.  My Dr upped me to 300 mg. I'm on month 4, I'm very fatigued and still in pain so I'm not impressed with it.   I'm also experiencing mouth sores."


"I have used desiccated thyroid for an years for underactive thyroid and my T4, T3 and TSH are now in the normal range. It takes a few months to get to the normal levels as it does with any medicine. I have had no side effects. I would recommend it to anyone."


"Great medicine but I cannot stop gaining weight"


"Was taking 20mg of Prozac which worked pretty good. Have taken Adderall in the past for ADD and asked my doctor about it again. He suggested I take Wellbutrin. Been on it for 2 weeks and I really noticed a difference. I actually feel great! 300mg XL. Side effects are minimal. I did feel like a zombie the first and second day. The third day I had the giggles. But, things started to even out after that. It wasn't anything terrible. It is a little bit harder to go to sleep at night however, I've never been a good sleeper. And, dry mouth is kind of bad. Other than that no anxiety depression. Haven't noticed anything about my ADD yet. I'll give it a couple more weeks."


"I have several issues and was given Remeron along with Seroquel and Tegretol, I take it at night and I sleep now, its pretty amazing but I'm so tired after taking it that I can't keep my eyes open no matter what. In the 3 weeks I have been on it I have gained 3lbs which is awesome for me. I hope the sleepiness dies down some as it is a bit strong for me, but overall this is a great medicine."


"This birth control pill is awesome. It made my periods even lighter than they were before, I get no pimples, I've lost 15 pounds, my breasts went from a B to a D, and emotionally I feel the same as I did before it. I would highly recommend it."


"I have rapid clycling bipolar disorder and was diagnosed five years ago.

After trying, Seroquel, Risperdal and Lithium with failure, a combination of Lamictal and Rivotril works for me.

All the other medicines never work or side effects where making me drowsy.

I got side effects from Lamictal for 2 days when I increased the dose every two weeks until I got to the recommended dose and I take Rivoril to control anxiety every now and then.

Also the anxiety diminished as the Lamictal dose got closer to the full recommended dosage."


"I absolutely hate this pill. I started taking this as a treatment for my endometriosis (aka cripling cramps and painful sex.) The first month was horrendous as my period was twice as heavy and twice as long. And my cramps were totally intensified! So much that it made me cry. I was also off the wall emotional and crazy. My gyno obviously said to give it 3 months to let it set in. So I decided to keep going. It's the end of my 3rd month and I've literally had 3 periods this month, with my current one bringing on just as bad cramps as I experienced without the pill! This has done nothing to lessen my cramps and has made me (and my menstrual cycle) a total mess. Also complete loss of libido!"


"I was put on Celexa, Depakote, and Seroquel when I was a month into being 13 years old. I was fine for a week then the voices returned with a vengeance, much worse and far more taunting and tormenting than ever before (or since).  I became a zombie, unable to communicate the problems to my doctor or family. In addition, when I described problems to my doctor he insisted Seroquel didn't cause those effects. Drowsiness, craving sugar, problems with walking and balance, and becoming a far more ill person than I was when I began the medication. I gained 60 lbs in three months. When I stopped Seroquel, I returned to "base sanity". My weight returned to normal."


"I have been diagnosed with having panic & anxiety disorders and being bipolar. Klonopin helps me deal with that stress which is the greatest thing because I get to play with my kids a lot more now and take them places in large groups of people. Its helped my life improve, only take as directed."


"Well, I was actually being treated for secondary hypogonadism. Clomid worked like a charm. The first 4 days I could seriously feel my testicals growing and it felt like pressure, which sort of caused me to feel aroused all day...strange but sort of pleasant.  I also felt happy and young again, like I did when I was younger.. super positive...just all around great.

Then after around 5 days, the super positive effect wore off, not a bad deal, just sort of a bummer, then I started to get lightheaded sort of having balance issues. Not so bad I couldn't drive or anything, but uncomfortable for sure.

So I called my doc (endocrinologist) and he said it would be okay if I reduced my dose from 25mg/day to 12.5 mg/day (quarter tab). Just got worse."


"No issues or problems experienced at all. Been on this pill for almost two years and I am 46 years old.   "


"I've been on the depo shot for 7 years. I was 120lb when I started and now I'm 192lb.. I have constantly tried to loose weight and can't... I'm 24 years old and have experienced a lot of the side effects.. Weight gain ,hair loss, mood swings joint and muscle pain,  constant headaches and dizzy, no sex drive at all and more.. The first three year I had spotting every now and then and would some times bleed for 12 days straight.. And then I was only getting a period once a year....I just recently stopped the depo shot after getting a lap procedure done ... I was told that I may not ever be able to have kids because of how long I was on the depo. Others say it may take 2 years... I decided to stop now in case there might still be a chance"


"Honestly I absolutely love it!!! Its the only pills that have worked for me"


"Dx with idiopathic hypothyroidism 45yrs ago. At 23yrs ago Dx with Hashimoto's. Is it possible to have both?! Dx depends on doc, seems random. TSH is at 50 whether taking 3 or 4 or 5 or 6++ grains (>200mg) of Armour. (Btw, Synthroid & etc are totally useless.) Also Dx with (seriously bad) Narcolepsy some 35yrs ago...Tried Lyrica about 2 yrs ago because it helps my cousin with hers. "


"This BC is not bad to be honest. I mean, this is the first one I have ever tried but I will be coming off completely in the next month. I workout and eat right for the most part and I have gained 7lbs on this BC in less than 3 months. It is concerning and I would like to discontinue. Also, I have noticed less hair growth, which I think is great but now for others. I also, noticed more migraines and more acne. I have had more depressing thoughts and way more mood swings- which I think is almost normal on BC. However, I really don't want to have tender breasts and significant weight gain and be a crazy person. Different for everyone I suppose.. but not pregnant.. so that's a plus.

I also got my period twice a month on this and both bad ."


"I was put on clarithromycin for a mild sinus infection after two weeks being untreated. Side effects (GI upset and unusual tiredness) were mild but irritating. Symptoms (fever, headache, postnasal drip) were greatly relieved by 3 days of taking the drug."


"I have been struggling with my weight most of my life.  Due to needing a total knee replacement was already trying to lose the 70lbs needed to have the surgery with little success.  Thank goodness, I was restarted on Victoza on October 16, 2017.  Since then, my blood sugar
has consistently been 110-120.  I have very little appetite along with nausea after the daily shot. I eat very little but was shocked to find out I am down 40 lbs since Oct 16th.  I honestly believe this is due to the Victoza and diurectics I have for excessive water retention.
Thanks Victoza!"


"So I took the one day cream last night, a little apprehensive about whether or not I would be on fire, since I read reviews beforehand, and I didn't have a single problem with it. It hardly itched or burned, maybe slightly more than it already did, but it wasn't noticeable. It was a few hours before I went to sleep because I was playing a computer game, but once I went to sleep I stayed out all night.
I would like to say that my yeast infection was very mild, only a little itching or burning to begin with, just lots of discharge. I am also not very sensitive, which may be why the treatment didn't burn me. I'm glad that I did the cream instead of the ovule, and I'm looking forward to being completely rid of this thing!"


"I started the shot about 4 months ago. The first few weeks it was great and I loved not having to take a pill everyday. Then I started spotting, but I knew it was a side effect and thought it would stop. The spotting/bleeding continued for 3 months, on and off. When I would think it stopped, I'd have sex and it would start bleeding during or after sex. After the 3 months ended I was so excited that I wouldn't have to ruin anymore underwear and buy any more tampons but I was wrong, every now and then I spot and bleed during or after sex. It is annoying and inconvenient. This is a great thing if you really don't want to get pregnant but if it is just for cramps and heavy periods I do not recommend."


"I took this medicine for the first time and I ended up dreaming a very romantic dream. It helps me with my panic/anxiety attacks, I would like to figure out what triggers my freaking out. Never Drive when You take Vistaril. It mellows You Out. Thank You."


"If you take this medication and do a complete diet change and add exercise it makes a lot of difference. The first month, I only used the pills and changed my diet. My killers were the cheesecakes, apple pies and lots of bread. I completely cut all of these out of my diet. About a month ago I joined the YMCA and now it has become an obsession. I got all the symptoms listed above but because I take mine in the morning, I do not get the insomnia. For the constipation, I drink lots of water. I add Miralax to a pitcher of water and only drink that and drink green tea. This has helped me combat the constipation. I started mine on 1/11 and I have lost 30lbs and down 2 dress sizes. Now I am on 1/2 tablet when needed. I call it my brain programmer."


"I have recently been prescribed Percocet for pain in relation to blood clots and 2 herniated discs in my back. I was on Dilaudid for a long time, and obviously, the doctor wanted me off.  He initially took me down to 5mg Lortab which did NOTHING.  Then he bumped me up to 10/325mg Percocet 4 x daily using 2 of them for breakthrough pain. I've yet to get the prescription filled because I have no insurance, but I have used them in the past with fairly decent results.  It comes nowhere near IV Dilaudid which is the ONLY thing that takes my pain completely away for about 2-3 hours, but I can't be hooked up to an IV the rest of my life. (Although I would if I could just so I could be pain free!)  I'll give it a 7 for what it does."


"I'm going to eventually have to have hip surgery, but Celebrex is the only medication that currently reduces my right hip pain to the point where I have restored quality of life."


"I took Miconazole 1 after having had a YI for a few days. The first few hours were fine, but four hours after taking the vaginal insert and cream I used the bathroom and go ended up setting my vagina on fire. The product leaked from my vagina and mixed with my urine causing the most uncomfortable itchiness and burning that I have ever experienced in my life. I was convinced that I needed to go to the ER. Instead I took some Benadryl and fell asleep after hours of burning with an ice pack on my vag. Do not take this product. Go to a medical professional."


"Yeah, I'm pretty sure the ingredients of this ovule include FIRE AND BRIMSTONE! My actual symptoms did not cause me this much agony. After one hour of writhing around my bed in pain, I hit the shower and washed what I could  out and took a couple of Benadryl to help with the itching. I'll be calling my doc for Diflucan tomorrow!"


"I have onychomycosis in both big toes. The Jublia helped somewhat with one of two. The other toe looks no different than before I started the medication."


"I have been smoking since I was 15 yrs old. I am now 50 I tried everything to stop smoking nothing helped. When my Dr said about Chantix I said why bother its not going to help. In 1 1/2 months I stopped  smoking my family is so happy I have more energy and don't have the feeling that I want a smoke"


"I was prescribed a 1%HC 1/4% camphor 1/4% menthol mix for a PUPPP's rash I have developed at 32 weeks of pregnancy. I was told only to apply it twice a day,but I find it works for about an hour only and then is pretty much useless to me. I spend majority of my days and nights sleepless with an ice pack on the effected areas.  Nothing works.  I can't even take a cool bath because its uncomfortable to have a cool bath, but any amount of heat just makes it more itchy and stings."


"I LOVED this birth control when I first started it. I was switched from Levora hoping that it would help my endometriosis - that time of the month is very painful for me. This pill worked WONDERFULLY for that. I had minor cramps for two days or so, max. No other side effects too. It made my periods shorter and lighter, and I could easily tell when I was going to start my period and stop it. After a few months the timing went WAY off. My period would come WAY too early, then I'd just be spotting on my placebo pills. It became very unpredictable. It's also pretty expensive as there is no generic. For those reasons I'm now taking Apri. I would recommend this pill though, especially if you have endometriosis."


"I've been on Symbyax for almost two weeks. It has been a tremendous help. Only thing I'm worried about is the cost! But this seems to be my wonder drug, I'm happier, healthier, more energetic, on and on. It's amazing! Only problem I would say is I sleep like a rock and it's hard to wake me up, so that can be a good and a bad thing. Good because I need more sleep, bad because if something were to happen you wouldn't be able to wake me up! I still love it though. 9/10 for inability to wake up and cost. I've been on several other medications for months waiting for it to take effect. On this one I felt better after 4 days. "


"I started taking Loestrin 24 Fe because I didn't want anymore kids. To my surprise my periods became nonexistent and it also cleared my acne. Before starting the pill my period was normal (3-5 days of flow and bleeding was normal to light by the last day) and I had mild breakouts but keep in mind, I have always suffered from these breakouts. Well after being on the pill for about 2 months my skin was clear and I didn't have a period. I stayed on the pill for about 3 years. I did have severe mood swings and my breast size did increase just a little. I never gained weight, in fact, I actually gained 5lbs after stopping the pill. I was taken of the pill because I've been having swelling reactions which my doctor thinks is being caused by the pill."


"
xanax forums are full of how xanax can  be so strong for some people. to me it was like a sledgehammer over my head. I woke 6 hours later with no recollection of what went on other than I slept. this was a low dose. It is either panic or been knocked out. Where are all these pleasant experiences I hear about?"


"Currently 21 years old, I switched to Tri-Sprintec about 1 year ago due to cost reasons, and honesty I should have stayed on Loestrin 24 Fe. My experience with this pill was negative, aside from the fact that I have not gotten pregnant. I cry at inappropriate times, I'm moody and I've gained weight.(On the Loestrin I was losing weight). This pill was not for me."


"This medications helped with my arthritis a little but did nothing for anxiety"


"Took this twice as prep for Colonoscopy.  It was disgusting to drink but they all are.  Then came the weakness, dizziness and the migraine headache.  Very very bad migraine headache.  Never again."


"I was on this medicine for two weeks,  i felt fine even a little happier,  but for 3 days straight I went into a major depression, I have stopped taking it."


"I've had it in for about a month. Insertion was painful. I've never had children, though. Make sure you take Ibuprofen and eat something before your appointment, and have someone to drive you home.

I had bad cramps for about a day and a half and spotting for 4-5 days.  Since then I have light cramps everyday that are easily remedied with a heating pad, and on occasion I may take some pain reliever. I find that working out helps the cramping. Sex is a little uncomfortable still (makes me crampy), but it is getting better.

I'm almost a week late. I've been told that isn't uncommon, but it's a little nerve racking.

I feel more lively and my sex drive has increased! Best part? Completely covered by my insurance."


"Been on it for a week now and lost 8 pounds already, only thing is I think my body is getting use to the pill because the first three days It was hard to eat and now I'm starting to crave food again."


"Even though I have read that atenolol may raise 50% the risk for diabetes, I have used it for more than 20 years without any problems."


"I'm 19 and have never had children. I had Kyleena placed yesterday (9/27/2017). It hurt like crazy, but I have a very low pain tolerance. The cramps I had last month from my menstruation had me pass out twice, and the cramps from getting Kyleena almost put me under, too. I was sore for the rest of yesterday, and was grateful that my night class was cancelled. I took a 30 minute nap right after the procedure, but it took until this morning for me to feel any sort of normal.

Today has been fine. No cramps, no bleeding, just some small headaches that went away with ibuprofen or a nap. However, ever since I got Kyleena, I've been snacking non-stop. Watch out.

Will update."


"I was scared about taking this birth control because I've read so many bad about it. I took a chance (mostly because it was prescribed to me by mistake) and I am pleased with it! I got off of Ortho Tri Cyclen because it was making me SUPER moody and decrease my sex drive. I was off of it for a month before I started the mini pill and things are a lot better. I haven't experienced any breakthrough bleeding like a lot of other people did (and I hope I never do), my sex drive is up, and I'm a lot more easy to get along with. Only downside to it is you have to take it at the same time everyday which I didn't think would be a problem but it's harder than I thought with a one year old running around!"


"I started Forteo full of optimism that I would be a "10" in experience. The daily shots were fine, no big deal. But after a few days I felt sick all over as if I had the flu. I actually thought, this is how chemo patients feel. I persevered...... Then the pain in my left upper arm started and nearly crippled me. I am 68 and a recently retired physiotherapist who plays tennis, skis, skates, sails, swims, etc etc. I felt horrible and ended up in tears. I saw my doctor, a Rheumatologist, who dismissed me and my symptoms, left me bereft as a hopeless case. I stopped Forteo and it took approx 2 weeks for my left arm pain to go away. I feel great now."


"I started taking Norvasc after trying many other meds. including Topamax which had too many bad side effects for me. So far since starting about a month ago; I have only had 1 headache and that was at the very beginning. No side effects. I was having headaches which was affected by weather pressure; about 1 a week. So nice not to have them and to feel good on this medication."


"I could not handle the teeth clenching."


"I have been suffering with a UTI for at least a month and a half, I have been prescribed nitrofurantonin and Cipro 2 times...with those drugs I had still had the urge to urinate and immediately when I stopped those two antibiotics the symptoms came right back. Doctors were getting ready to send me to a urologist until I mentioned bactrim. After one dose of the antibiotic I was feeling 80% better. I haven't had any side effects yet and its day 2...These drug is God sent!"


"About 2 years ago, I took 20mg Prozac for suspected depression for approx. 4  months. I experienced the slightest lift in my mood for about 3 days during the course of treatment. Otherwise, I experienced severe anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, random bouts of euphoria, and, worst of all, incredibly gruesome nightmares. I have no military experience and I am not in a medical/emergency field. I have never been exposed to blood/gore through anything except basic cable and an occasional scary movie. But, I just want to warn as many people as I can that this drug can cause the most brutal, disgusting nightmares a person can experience. I woke up sweating and crying/trying to scream hysterically. I stopped taking it and never looked back."


"Mirtazapine is amazing in the fact that it has no negative effect on libido, and positive if your libido was low due to the depression.  I also take ADHD medication so the side effect of hunger is not an unwelcome thing, should note that at higher doses (30mg ) it works more as an antidepressant and around 15mg it has a nice effect on appetite stimulation and sedation to sleep.  You don't feel as if you're in a fog, you just feel "balanced" I suppose.  You feel emotions but they're not as extreme, doesn't have that zombie effect.  Good for keeping a clear head and keeping it up in general."


"Received Mylan lidocaine patch 5% for maralthia parastetic thigh pain. This is my first experience with this brand. Total waste of money. The patches don't stick! If a patch won't stick even when sitting absolutely still, they are ineffective. I am returning them to my pharmacist tomorrow & will request a refund. I am requesting my dr write scripts for Endo or Watson. My patch barely hangs on as I get into bed (even while in holding it down) I get in a position and don't move. The minute I slightly move the patch begins peeling away.  I wake up with a twisty curly sticky thing in the bed. The most infuriating thing to me is to read Mylan website. They made 3.3 billion dollars by June 2015 & these patches came out Aug 2015. RIP OFF!!"


"I was on Levora (brand) for several months before switching to Levlen (generic) due to my pharmacy being unable to stock the brand name drug.  Over the last several months on Levlen I've noticed my moodiness increasing and my sex drive drastically decreasing.  This happened once before when switching from brand to generic."


"Doctor prescribed this medication for my depression. I had tried taking three different brands of anti depressants over the coarse of several years. First one, I don't recall the name, but the side effects were too much for my 18 year old self to handle. Fast forward several years and events, I attempted Lexapro. First dose gave me severe anxiety and I slept only 2 to 3 hours. After discontinuing that, and going another year or so without much to help with how low and anxious I felt, I finally tried Sertralin (Zoloft). I was told to give it at least a month. I am not going to lie. It was rough. My stomach was a mess. More side effects and a month later, I started having patience with my kids again. I don't feel like crying all of the time."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I was diagnosed August 3, 2013. I started taking STRIBILD September 1st.

20 days later I had my first blood test and today October 11th I got my results. My viral load went from 69,000 to 196 and my CD4 count went up from 365 to 547...in only 20 says!. This medication is amazing. Most importantly I don't have side effects. In the beginning I was very worried because I thought my life would changed dramatically due to some horrible side effects. However I'm very pleased now. I take STRIBILD once a day at my lunch time and I'm looking forward to continuing living a healthy life."


"After I had my son, 6 weeks later I got the implant. I thought it was a great idea. (I have always been fit and was able to lose weight with no problem). After the implant, I bled for 3 months STRAIGHT. Doctor said this was normal. It eventually died down. During those 3 months I also gained 30 pounds! I would work out 6 days a week, health diet. I have lost nothing. I bleed for months at a time. Horrible cramps and headaches. So moody. And tired. I'm not pregnant though.
Needless to say, the implant will be removed in a few days after having it for 2 years.
Use at your own risk. Works for some, but not all. Good luck. Hope this helps."


"I was on the patch. Due to migraines I switched to this, which gave me no migraine. Just a little mood swing when I'm on my period. If you take it on time, you will have no bleeding problem. It is very good."


"I have had seizures from a kick to the head. For 6 years, they started out giving me Valium and it worked great for the prevention of the seizures for about 4 1/2 years. Then it was no longer effective. They had to switch me to Klonopin, another benzodiazepine, but that is working for me now."


"This drug helped with insomnia almost immediately. But antidepressant effects seem to be lacking as I feel it really only increases my mood swings. I am usually groggy the next morning which wears off, but it's still a significant factor in the morning.
My anxiety is helped a little bit but I still have random panic attacks that seem to be brought on by my moodiness so it's give and take. So far the sleep benefits started to really decrease after the first month but I started taking two a night and I'm sleeping better again but we'll see for how long.
I don't feel that my anxiety has been helped very much by this drug but I am mostly calmer due to the sedating nature of the drug.
I am scheduled to follow up with my psych about this drug."


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

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


"I've been on this medication for about 2 months and I've already gained 15 pounds. I'm not complaining about bigger boobs and a bigger butt, but when your starting weight is only 102 gaining that much weight makes me feel huge! I initially went on it to help with bleeding between periods and it did a great job of stopping that, but I'm scared to keep taking it because I'm gaining soooo much weight!"


"Flomax gave me serious side-effects including the following ; tooth ache, gum infection, sinus infection, cough, chest pain, vision problem, muscle ache, muscle weakness, dizziness, premature ejaculation, inability to hold erection for sex, lack of orgasm after painful ejaculation."


"After 6 months of severe congestion, sinusitis, and bronchitis that triggered wheezing with my asthma, unsuccessfully treated with other antibiotics, my doctor prescribed Avelox.  I can breathe and not wheezing and on my way to less congestion!  I have not had side effects that preclude my stopping this medicine.  Powerful and effective."


"It does not work for me. Has anyone else ever realized that capsule is empty or is it just my bottles I open the capsule up I am on one45 MCG one to two times daily I quit taking it because it was not working I started back on it 6 days ago then today open the capsule and realized there is nothing in it!"


"I bought this medication this morning and took two puffs! Now I am cough cough coughing!  It did clear my sinuses but created another irritant...I do not have asthma nor suffer from year round allergies."


"My child started taking Clonidine one month ago. She now falls asleep much faster and stays asleep through out the night. She is more focused at school than she ever was before."


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


"Linzess is my friend.  I have breakfast in the morning and I take one every day before lunch.  No problems."


"Terrible... Gave it a 3 because yes it works but also gave it only a 3 because of the TERRIBLE side effects. Gained about 40+ pounds in 6 months which is crazy, mood swings, complete and total loss of sex drive, headaches and had a period for 3 weeks and it was completely irregular. The cons out way the pros here. Yes it works as a birth control but do you really"


"I have been on Alesse, Aviane and Sronyx and they were amazing. No acne, weight gain or mood swings.  I have been on for Orsythia for three months. The first month I noticed I felt strange and high anxiety with many mood swings. The second month I had all the same symptoms with a five pound weight gain. This month I got vertigo so bad I could barely stand and walk. It made me feel so dizzy and so irritated that I was snapping at everybody. I called my insurance carrier and beg them to put me on any thing but Orsythia and they are going to put me back on Aviane.  I've been on the pill for over 12 years straight and I have never had a series of side effects like I did with this pill. I would not recommend this to anyone."


"I was put on 25mg of amitriptyline because of my dependence to zoplicone (a horrible sleeping pill). It took a few weeks for the amitriptyline to kick in but once it did I was able to easily fall asleep, stay asleep for 8-10 hours and wake up feeling refreshed. I am happy to say that it's been 3 months and I haven't had to take any zopiclone which is a big deal for me. I only take 10mg now a night but actually feel like I don't even need it. I plan to completely stop it next week.

"


"I put this patch on on Friday. At first I felt dizzy and nauseous so I had to take a zofran and the feeling went away. It seemed like the pain relief was almost immediate, it was a 7.25 mcg/hr patch. Keep in mind that I've been taking other pain meds since 2004 for fibromyalgia and I had stopped them the day before in anticipation of this patch. I woke up in quite a bit of pain on Saturday and took a norco and with that and moving around I felt fine. I had to take a zofran Saturday, Sunday, and today for nauseousness but other than that I feel fine and the pain is gone. It has only been 3 days, but if it keeps working like this, I'm sticking with the patch. Very happy so far."


"Most stable I've been in years, seem to be more in the moment, a bit more confident with people, less nervous, no feelings of depression, don't really worry so much about anything. I'm getting positive feedback from people. Not full of energy but I'm wondering whether the emotional stability I now have will facilitate my projects, I'm more consistent, perhaps likely to get waylaid by instability. It would seem that it'd be a silly idea to go off parnate. The food restrictions are irrelevant for me, why would anybody who values their body and life eat pizza and cured meats ? I'm feeling stronger, more clear about life - and how short it is. I take 40mg per day"


"I am 37 and have had 1 child. I have been on the pill most of my adult life, but have always been hormone-sensitive. That has only become worse with age...my periods we're all over the place, I gave up keeping track. Tried nexplanon and bled for 8 months straight before having it removed. I have had my copper iud for about3 months now, and I love it! The insertion was painful (like labor cramps) but only for a couple seconds. Had minor cramping for about a week or so. Started my period right away, now they are like clockwork. The flow is only slightly heavier for me than it usually was. I'm not pregnant so far either, so there's that too. I would recommend it."


"I think it's day 28, yep on my last pill of the entire first month. Had to use the patch for a while but stopped 5-7 days ago. Still have some cravings but not nearly as bad as first on the medicines. Had to refill my prescription today.  So month 2 coming up."


"I'm 46, healthy bull of a man but use high blood pressure medication for the past year.  The medication has made my erections not quite as firm as I like and can remember.  Viagra - wow.  Made me as hard as I was when I was in my 20s. I forgot what that was like.  My wife and I enjoyed the heck out of my magic blue pill."


"I've been on Lolo for a year now. I literally thought I was pregnant until reading these reviews (still going to the doc today of course), I am dizzy, hungry, nauseous, breast are very sore (mostly at days end), I've been a tiny girl my whole life and gained 15 lbs in the last 2 months! I work out nearly everyday and eat super healthy. I've also had depression and suicidal / irrational thoughts. Dryness has also been a problem along with severe chest pain from time to time. I'm 31 and do not recommend this pill."


"I'm not sure what mg I took... but the 1st day I took a whole pill and became very aggressive (not in my character at all). I figured the whole dose may have been too much and took 1/2 pill the next day.  I was less aggressive, but very verbally abusive and extremely irritable. I stopped taking it. "


"works great for numbness pain in feet"


"Been on latuda about 3 weeks now. The only down fall is staying asleep for the whole night. I go to bed around 10pm and i wake up about one hour later feeling restless. Doctor told me to take melitonin before bed. I'll see if that works. Also,like someone above my message said. My doctor ask me to go off the medication and notice the signs of depression again and see what the medication has been doing. So true. After 3 days off the medication,I notice my symptoms of anger and impulsiveness  return, also my depression hitting hard again. So am going back on after today and staying on. Its finally a miracle that I can be symptoms free and no more racing thoughts. Thank you medicine. "


"I experience mood swings, break outs, and cramps during the first two weeks. After that I have not had any issues. I did not spot for the first two months. On the third month I took the pill 4 hours late and I spotted lightly for two days. My skin is flawless. I had no weight gain. I have no crazy mood swings. Its the perfect pill. Oh and my breast increased about a cup size. The breast tenderness I experienced was a minimum soreness for a month. I recommend Seasonale!"


"Worked as described."


"I used Mirena for 11 months for birth control. I am very sensitive so the insertion was painful (lots of cramping and spotting after).  I would then (for the first 3 months or so) get random, painful cramps. I also instantly gained 5 lbs and 10 lbs over this past year in total.  Apart from the hair thinning (which I am unsure was from the Mirena) I got really bad acne on my chin area and on my back. I was hoping that would change bc aside from that, I got no periods at all and it was very effective in preventing pregnancy. I just got mine out today and taking it out was a cinch.  I'm hoping my body will regulate itself quickly."


"I have been on this medication since 3/12/15, I've lost 25 pounds. I am on a lower carb (only fruits and veggies- no grains). I feel great. I've stopped binge eating. You can't have high fat foods on this medication or you will get sick. Stick with lean protein and fruits and vegetables. I've stopped craving snack foods or fast foods. I walk 4 miles a day. This isn't a magic pill. You still have to put in the work. I do have trouble with constipation, so I upped my water intake to ten glasses a day and Miralax once a day. I'm sleeping better. The first two months, I slept awful. It could have been sugar withdrawal."


"This is the best birth control I've had. It's so easy to remember and you just slap it on and don't have to worry about it for a week. It cleared up my skin significantly, made my periods shorter and lighter, and helped with cramps. I gained about 6 pounds but for me that was helpful and went up about half a cup size but again, perfectly okay with that! The only bad effect I've seen is a little skin irritation where the patch was when I take it off. A little lotion and it goes away though. Only spotted one day. Love this!"


"Taking Embel once a week now (Started the day before Christmas 12/24/16). I have had Ankylosing Spondylitis for over 17 years but was misdiagnosed until 3/15. The doctors always told me that I had chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. It first started at @ age 37. I could hardly make it through a week without going in and getting IVs full of vitamins and saline. I finally came across a Nurse Practitioner who prescribed me vitamin B injections (twice a week), vitamin D (once a week), and Folic Acid  (Deplin - once a week). This really was helpful but the pain was horrific & I never felt right. And I had boughts with bad pain in my Achilles - left foot. There is more to my story but this site will not allow me to type it."


"Took for 3 weeks: 15 mg/day. I have GAD -and get nervous randomly, sometimes to the level of panic. This drug made me nauseous and have brain zaps. The zaps went away after a few days, but I still got nauseous for a while after taking it. Since my anxiety didn't improve, combined with the nausea not going away, I was taken off it. I'd say give it a try if your doc recommends it - I see lots of positive reviews and it's not addictive.

I now take 10mg Lexapro and 5 mg Valium (as needed). Anxiety is less potent than before."


"I have been on several different kinds of birth control. Pills, nuva ring, implanon, spermicides, condoms. All the hormones were too much for my body to handle, eventually I had to quit trying. I had my implanon removed after a year and a half of nonstop bleeding and suffering from severe vertigo and headaches, and depression.  So I went to my doctor and expressed my concerns. She prescribed this to me and I was SO reluctant to take them. I honestly expected the worst. The first month was rough, not going to lie... My body was adjusting. I was dizzy and nauseous, a lot. But then.. It all stopped. My body regulated and I couldn't be happier with this choice! My period is on time every month and it is SUPER light the whole time. It's amazing."


"I have been taking Neurontin (Gabapentin) for over a year now, can't remember exactly how long, but it has helped me to function better although I still have a headache on a daily basis. That sounds contradictory, but when I don't take it my I can hardly function. I do have memory problems lately and I'm usually tired, but it's better than not having it."


"I was previously on Ocella for a few years and found that one to work great except for breakthrough bleeding. I switched to Loestrin 24 for about 6 months and I am coming off of it. I became so depressed and felt like I was in a fog. I have always been a pretty happy person. It was so bad I had to just stop taking the pills in the middle of the 7th month after constantly being on birth control pills since I was a teenager. I did a lot of research about the estrogen and progestin ingredients and am going to try Apri. "


"I have used it for over 15 years.

An EEG showed I had quite a bit of extraneous thought, a left and right hemisphere that had identical thought processes and a temporal lobe that was off the chart.

Dexedrine changed my life.

Unfortunately many Doctors are using outdated/outmoded technology and refuse to prescribe it."


"I am on week 4. I am proud to say I have not had any side effects at all. Right away I noticed the difference. I would eat all day if I could and snack as well. I had Gastric Bypass back in 03 and gained a lot of weight back so I had gotten to 240lbs from 159lbs back in 04 however I had twins a few years ago. I am down so far to 227 which is great for a little under a month (13lbs) I will add in exercise this month and change to a even more healthier diet to see how much more I can lose. I think this is the wonder pill."


"Until about 5 years ago (when I turned 40), I very rarely had any problems with bowel movements.  Then I got a toe infection which required antibiotics to clear up.  It worked, but after that I started having problems with constipation.  I tried more bran and fiber.  It did not work.  I tried eating more fruit and vegetables.  It didnt work.  It was getting so bad that I started get hemorrhoids that bled bright red blood when I wiped.  It was scary.  I had to strain and strain just to get to the bathroom.  I tried prunes and prune juice, and when it did work, it gave me the runs and lots of gas and cramping.  I tried magnesium, and in order for it to work, I had to take so much that it gave me the runs unexpectedly.  Miralax worked for me."


"I have used Bromfed since I was a child and it is the only thing that really works for my hay fever.  I am miserable since it was taken off the market and am searching desperately for something that works half as well."


"I took this drug for a couple of days but had to stop because it gave me a bad case of nausea. You could set your watch by it. Ninety minutes after taking the drug I felt so sick I had to lie down."


"Switched to this from Lo Loestrin FE due to insurance only covering generics. There's no generic form of Lo Loestrin FE, so I was given what I was told would be the most similar pill. Unfortunately it didn't work out. I've gained weight, feel bloated often, started getting acne again at age 32, feel tired/moody/depressed with less interest in sex...but the worst is the headaches. They start at random times with no apparent trigger and can last as long as 48 hours. They do not respond to any over the counter medications. They can be very severe and often make it impossible to work, sleep, and enjoy life. I had no side effects with Lo Loestrin FE, except positive ones like lighter periods, so I think I'll be switching back despite the cost."


"I've been on and off for 9 years and I'm 25. I have been on 10mg before and am currently on 5mg. I went off it for a while and I find that I am able to laugh harder but also feel deeper sadness without them. They stabilize me. I get to a very dark place without just that 5mg to keep me level. I would rather be a bit unable to express emotion than over emotional. I struggle with anxiety, paranoia and low stress tolerance. It helps me live somewhat normally. Higher doses make me feel robotic, unable to process my own emotion. I am sensitive to meds and so 5mg (half of the minimum  dose) helps me! The therapeutic dose is 20mg, and for me that would lessen the quality of my life as I would be unable to feel emotion. I love it celexa. Try it."


"I just wanted to write this review to say DON'T freak out this pill works, just stay calm. I'm over 200 pounds and took this and my period came on, I also had no side affects."


"my first trial experience :fall a sleep within one hour after taking the tablet  but just for one hour then again for 3 hours .it help in starting sleep but not  its not continuous , next day felt as if i took antihistamine."


"12-14 days after taking Plan B still no period at my normal time so I was kind of getting worried. I used some hot compresses, I had a few soaks in the tub and my period came raging 2 days later than expected. My stomach had never been so "full" before a period ever. After this experience I am glad everything worked out with getting my period. "


"I was misdiagnosed with depression/anxiety.  Stopped menstruating in 2000 after taking the birth control shot. Gained 80lbs I can't shed.  Started taking metformin after doctor connected the symptoms I had with my 4 miscarriages, and that I had to take fertility drugs to have the 2 children I have. I felt immediately better. Still have a hard time trying to shed the weight, but I feel like awful when I don't take this medicine."


"I had a blood clot during my first pregnancy and this is the only thing they could prescribe. I have been taking it for 7 days and I'm moody, crampy, my face broke out (I have clear skin),no sex drive, spacey, I'm extremely tired and I'm so overly hungry. I'm very athletic so it's frustrating. Birth control is ridiculous. I have never found a good one. Even the IUD moved twice! Where the hell is male birth control?"


"Helped for several years but effect stopped recently and I had to switch"


"After 4 hours I woke up with such bad cramping I almost passed out. I took 2 of the 5 mg laxatives. I got really weak for about 30 minutes. Hoping it don't hit me again.  I will never ever take this stuff again. Almost called 911..."


"I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Ambien worked like a charm for two months. Then it completely stopped being effective."


"I constantly worry about everything, causing me lots of anxiety. Cymbalta has helped me so much!!"


"I have had extreme sweating in my armpits for my whole life, it really started in middle school, but once I got to high school I decided that enough was enough and there must be some kind of medicine to fix this horrible problem. I told my doctor about it and she prescribed Hypercare, and now I couldn't be happier. This product has completely changed my life, I highly recommend it."


"This is an amazing drug, I've never had any side effects besides that one where my bladder infection went away, if your reading people's posts who have horrible side effects they probably have an easily upset stomach. Don't eat or drink water. In most people these don't cause side effects when properly taken. Or allergic! I wouldn't be too worried."


"I am on my 9th day of Chantix which is up to the 1 mg pills twice a day now. The first week taking Chantix I smoked 3 cigarettes to "finish off the pack", and hated every single puff. I actually ended up putting the cigarettes out after 2-3 puffs. The smell was disgusting, and the taste was awful. I still have cravings to smoke, but know that it won't do me any good to buy another pack. Waste of money because I won't smoke them. However,the side effects are EXTREMELY intense for me. I have had EXTREME ANGER outbursts, and very severe depression. My stomach hurts after taking the pill, and I just want to roll up in a ball. I think I could quit taking the pill now and be smoke free to lessen the psychotic episodes, but I'm really not sure."


"There should be a WARNING on this, NOT to take while driving. Can make you extremely dizzy, spaced out, eye pain, etc."


"I had been using Cymbalta for 3 years and all was great until the generic one appeared and I took it for several weeks and started getting a metallic taste in my mouth and got cyst in my mouth and on both sides of my tongue; nothing tasted right.  I had my doc write a script for use of only the original Cymbalta because I saw on another forum that this was a reaction of the generic.  All the cyst cleared up and gone and everything is normal after 2 weeks of original Cymbalta!"


"I was on estroidot 25 patch for nine years after a complete hysterectomy. Concerned about breast cancer my doctor put me on venlafaxine 37.5 mg to help with hot flashes plus anxiety after my son passed away,  the effect was unbelievable. Minimal hot flashes and my grief and sadness was not nearly as bad as before. It was immediate. I was nauseated for a couple of weeks at first which passed. I also had anxiety for about two weeks which has passed. It has done wonders for me. I suggest that you not give up on it at the beginning because after about a month it really calmed me and helped with both situations that I needed help with. Hope this helps. Did not increase my dose as of yet.... four months."


"I have been using Nuvaring for about 4 months now and I absolutely love it. I do think that it changes my hormones around the first week or so I have it in but I think that's because my body is still getting used to the medicine (it's gotten a lot better than when I first started using it). It's so much easier than taking the pill and my worries of becoming pregnant have gone down tremendously since being on this. It is effective and a great medicine, I would highly recommend it!"


"I had a choice between the suboxene which then I wouldn't be able to take my adderall or the vivitral which I can take with any meds. So of course I did the half pill test in the Dr's office and sat for 15 mins to see if I would have bad reaction. I was ok so then we went ahead and did the shot. I was excited to finally get this burden of the opiates that led to suboxene  then stuck without knowing what to do. I'm done, don't want to live on this anymore...it's not living. I went in and did this shot and at first I freaked out when I got home like my body went into instant withdrawal . My body was spasming and I was freaked out. My cousin called 911 and they had given me 4 shots of ativan on top of two of my 2mg klonopin that I barely take."


"Previously prescribed oxycontin 40mg, new doctor switched me to Duragesic.  For me it's convenient, apply the patch to clean dry skin and leave it alone but Oxycontin 40mg time release is much more effective for my continuous pain but doctors won't prescribe it."


"I have been taking Efracea ( the UK name for Oracea I believe) for nearly two weeks now. I would say that for the first 7-10 days my skin was somewhat worse: it was aggravated in that there seemed to be more spots, more obvious red rashly pimples/whiteheads but now at day 12 there is finally a definite improvement.  It seemed during the first 7-10 days like the medicine was "forcing out toxins" - I know that's not science but that is how I would describe it.  The redness is now reduced.  The spots and bumps have gradually shrunken and reduced. My skin feels smoother when I run my fingers over it and looks smoother in the mirror.  This is all over my face.  My face looks less puffy. I can't believe the improvement.  no side effects for me"


"Have just had weigh in and lost 3kgs!!!! So happy But have had bad 24 hrs with abdominal pain believe my own fault as had heavy meal when out with friends.  I know I have to be more aware! Had some stomach gremlins....and urgent visits to loo but find am not snacking as much and when I do its some nuts and mixed dried fruit instead of big bar of choc and crisps!! Am pleased with this weight loss after just 2wks and am not very mobile due to OA so will continue to update as need to lose 26kgs!"


"As many of you know, the pain of gastro issues leave very little to laugh over, so that said: I've gained three inches in height back since taking this medicine!  See, I'm NO LONGER walking hunched over with my hand clasping my abdomen with my eyebrows scrunched up! I can stand upright again, now that the pain has subsided.  Truth be told, I had very little hope that this medication would work, I'd had "nerve" pills and "stomach" meds and just could NOT fathom that finally something WOULD kick in!  I had been in gastro pain for approx 3 years and my eating has become an issue due to it.  Having been 93 lbs not very long ago, and now hanging in around 106, I say try this if you can.  It MAY have saved my life."


"Nexplanon has been the best. I originally selected it 3 yrs ago because I was terrible about remembering to take the pill. When it was first inserted, I was a little moody and almost had a light constant period for a couple months. BUT, when I made it out of that, it was amazing. I have not had mood swings, cramps, or regular periods while I have had the implant the last 3 yrs. I typically had a light period every 3 or 4 months. I am currently going through my first period without Nexplanon. I had mood swings again, cramps, semi-heavy period (much heavier than it was on bc), and I just feel yucky. Definitely recommend!!"


"Didn't work for my acne."


"I love the patch. I started out with the pill and didn't feel satisfied. I always felt like it wouldn't work if I took later then the time I had to take it (which was constant). My first week of taking the patch it was annoying and I wanted to take it off but now I hate having that week off the patch because I noticed that whenever I have it off I'm very moody, tired, and have a lot of anxiety. I love the patch because not only it helps my period, no babies, etc. but it makes me feel normal."


"I'm 20 and I'm on my second pack with Sprintec. I recently had a baby in January so I needed birth control considering I was still going to be sexually active. Doctor told me to try this because I suffered with terrible acne. My face is the clearest it's ever been! Pores are smaller, acne scars are fading and everything. BUT I've recently been feeling nauseous on and off during the day along with diarrhea. I'm going to continue taking it in hopes that these side effects will chill out. Along with that, my period came as expected once it was time to take the "reminder pills". I did have a heavier period that only lasted 5-4 days though. Inexpensive and does its job."


"12 years addicted, 4 prison #s, 40 jobs at least, 6 different homes, 3 evictions, 4 children let down. My life has changed! SUBOXONE saved my life! Now active in my church and in treatment I've been clean for 8 months. PRAISE GOD."


"I took this just today for a dental procedure.  I woke up laughing and happy.  Was not groggy.  I did wake up sneezing like crazy and I am blowing my nose a lot.  I hope this goes away soon."


"My acne wasn't bad I just had a few black heads and once in a while I would get deep pimples and they hurt like crap. My mom took me to the dermatologist because she was scared my skin would get worse as I got older. The doctor gave me epiduo and it seems to work amazingly. I still have blackheads but not as many or as noticeable ( granted I do wear a full face a makeup most the time )
Overall it's worth the money"


"Received one shot for three full months. Nearing the end . Major side effects were the hot flashes and some weird feeling of uneasiness. I would not take it again. Hot flashes are not cool.  Just had ultrasound and will be seeing doctor soon to see if shot was a success in killing cysts. The drug may work but wow all these side effects."


"I started having allergies about two years ago during the spring and I never took any medications for it. I have two cats, and during this time of year my eyes get red and "poofy", the back of my throat itches badly, I have phlegm when I cough, and my nose is always congested, itchy and runs at the same time. When I sneeze I have to blow my nose about ten times to get all the mucus out. I started taking Claritin about 3 weeks ago, and immediately I noticed no red and itchy dry eyes and my throat is relaxed but I still had my crazy nasal congestion, itchy and runny nose. About a week ago I bought Claritin-D 24 hour dose, and I am amazed. I am able to breath again - through my nose. I highly recommend this medicine."


"I've been on this for a week and lost 9 pounds. Probably water weight but it's still pounds! I recommend."


"I'm 20, and I've had migraines since I was 6 years old. I had tried everything my doctor could think of before I went to a neurologist, and she suggested Relpax. I will never go back to any of the "home remedies" or any other medication as long as Relpax is on the market. I get visual blind spots when a migraine is setting in and I take it as soon as the spots appear, which is usually 10 minutes before the pain starts. Within 30 minutes, I'm back to feeling great."


"I got on to this medicine during a rough time in my life. I thought it was working great until I realized they had me in the highest dose and were using it as a bandaid. I got curious about the drug itself and into further research I found that this drug is one of the WORST on the market. This drug will slowly kill you. This drug causes issues not only in your mind, but your body, if you're trying to conceive it affect that body, it is extremely addictive and causes more issue than the reason you were put on it. After my research I decided to come off of it. If I had more space to write how the detox of this pill was I would need a novel."


"I went on Nexplanon because I wanted to eventually stop my periods.  I was diagnosed with UC and my periods became very heavy and painful.   The first month was symptom free.  At the start of the second month though the spotting began.  It is constant but with a few days of a break once in a while.  A liner is all I need to manage.  I no longer have period pains which is a big deal for me..  I do have a problem with breast soreness now though.   My breasts have grown atleast 2 cup sizes and they are really sensitive and constantly bothering me.  I also have slight hormonal acne but Primrose Oil supplements are helping with that.  I don't feel my doctor made any attempt to inform me of common side effects."


"About 7 years ago, my cholestrol, BMI, BP were 260, > 30, and 180/110, respectively. After 8 weeks of exercise, I lost 40 lb, new BMI =19. Cholestrol < 170, BP=145/100. Started Toporol 25mg. A year later, added Benicar 20/12.5. I have a frequent side effect that Doctor doesn't understand: I call it GyaRel11am Syndrome. At around 11 am (after 3 hrs of intake of medicine), I feel bad. Hand/feet feel cold. I am confused. I rush to take lunch. In next 15 min, I am normal for whole day. "


"DON'T USE THIS.....two hours after using this product I am ON FIRE.  I went from slight discomfort to absolute misery.   Sounds like this drug needs to be taken off the market."


"The first month I got the implant I bleed for 2 weeks and then it stopped, which was manageable. Now I'm back at school the second month that I was due to have a period with Nexplanon, and have been bleeding for 4 weeks straight. I had to call the doctor to see if this is normal because it is really hindering on the amount of money spent on tampons and pads, and my relationship with my significant other. The only thing the doctor recommended was taking ibuprofen to help slow the bleeding, which helps slightly. I got Nexplanon to ease the difficulty with having to be on my feet all day long, however this honestly sucks more than a normal period."


"What can I say..it works. I've suffered with acne for 25 years. I was afraid to use it at first, but I'm glad I jumped in."


"I have tried different sinus medications over the years and this seems to be the best of them all. Just 2 pills a day breakfast and dinner, no noticeable negative effects. Cured my bout of sinusitis in about 3-days but I continued to take it for the full 14 days."


"i promised myself if it worked, I'd write a review for all the ladies freaking out. personally, the condom had slipped off inside of me and was stuck in there for a bit. I took plan b within the hour and I had minor side effects. my period was a day or two late but for the most part perfectly fine. the whole time I was worried because the side effects make you feel like you're pregnant and i kept reading stuff online. trust the pill! It'll be nerve wrecking but just follow the instructions and be patient!"


"Musinex D worked great to clear up my chest congestion that two rounds of antibiotics didn't touch. But I didn't know that a side effect was insomnia. So, although I started feeling better soon after taking it last night, I was well aware of how good I was feeling right on up to 3am!  I asked the pharmacist at our local store if Musinex D could have caused the insomnia, and she said yes, and not to take it at night."


"It's THE best thing for an acute panic attack.  Nothing works faster.  Just make sure you follow your doctor's guidelines.  Actually, the less you use it, the better it works."


"I have been dealing with depression since 1990 and run the whole inventory of SSRI's available.  Prozac was effective the first 2 years then became ineffective. The only drug that has helped me for an extended period of time was Paxil.  Paxil eventually became ineffective after 5 years. So the wonder drug Cymbalta comes on the scene and I thought I had finally found the magical cure. I've been on 60 mg of Cymbalta for about a year and once again the roof is caving in and very abruptly. This past week I've been suicidal for 3 days.  Why? The circumstances in my life that so often can trigger anxiety or depression are the same as always.  How can an SSRI become instantaneously ineffective?  I'm not raving about Cymbalta any longer."


"I had the mirena since 4 th june 2015, im 45, and had 12days of light spotting, and the odd headache now and then, and feel really good, i dont feel depresed, i would highly recomend the mirena!  You read all these stories, but everyone is different , so, far, so good!"


"Worked wonders at the start.  Was up to 600mg a day.  I don't eat the best  but I do think this did make me gain weight.  I live in the great white north but I struggled with balance, fell often, and also had trouble putting my thoughts into words.  These side effects are now gone now that I'm off this.

Balance and communication much better now that I'm off."


"I have had three kids and had the mirena put in a few days ago, no pain at all with the doctor putting it in , had some bleeding the same day and it has stopped since, but there is some cramping and bloating hopefully it will go away after the 3 months."


"Finally some relief!! This is a hands down miracle drug for IBS. Not a 100% cure but I'd say it controls my symptoms 90% of the time which is outstanding."


"I HAVE CHRONIC ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (CONVERTED ONCE), WHICH ONLY LASTED 1O DAYS. NOW TAKE 100MG A DAY. RATE 70-85 BPM. Side effects-some drowsiness and fatigue."


"I am 18 years old and before Monodox I was on Minocycline for almost two years and it worked tremendously until about two months ago. My old breakouts came back much stronger and my dermatologist said that I had gained tolerance for the medicine. I continue to use benzaclin but I am now using Monodox. It seemed to work well at first although the doctor told me it would take about 3 weeks. I just finished my second week. Although I do still have breakouts, certain spots on my face feel very clean and have healing acne scars. Hopefully the rest of the breakout will clear up in this coming week but otherwise I have not experienced any side effects mentioned such as nausea or dizziness."


"I got Liletta in 2015 after my 3rd child. The first couple months kinda sucked as my body adjusted....random spotting, cramping, periods although much lighter lasting 8-9 days, After the first few months it was great! I still got my period every month but it was very light. Normally I suffer from very heavy periods. The cramping was still there though and my boyfriend said he could feel the strings during sex (but that's the Dr fault who put it in didn't cut them short enough I guess). After 2 years I just had it removed because it was slightly out of place and causing me pain. It didn't hurt to get it removed but I started bleeding super heavy the very next day. OB says its normal. Hopefully periods don't go back to heavy. :("

"This year has been the absolute worst for me. My allergies are ridiculous. The sneezing and itchy throat is my biggest issue. I am now using Allegra D every 12 hours. I am going to try adding the regular Allegra for 24 hours as well. Just can't take it anymore. Hoping this year is not repeated."


"I just started taking Apri.  I have not been on birth control since 2008 when I was taking Tri-Sprintec. After a few months of Tri-Sprintec I gained 17 lbs!  I have always been small (5'4 108 lbs) so this weight gain was very noticeable and I could not shed the weight. I got off Tri-Sprintec and do not recommend it to anyone!  Anyways, I'm on Apri now and I really like it. The only downside I've noticed is intense cramping the first week I took it. Hope this helps!"


"This pill does work girls !!! I took it right in time since I believe you have to take it within the 72 hour frame. It was expensive ( $50 ) but it was completely worth it! I did have a few side effects a few days after taking it like nausea and a few cramps. I started spotting brown before my normal period came . I was 2 days late on my period but it did come. Don't worry , as long as you take it in time and restrain from sexual intercourse while you wait for your next period & for the pill to do it's magic , the pill will be effective. Highly recommend this pill and it's effectiveness. I did learn my lesson though! Use protection ( condoms ) or birth control pills ladies."


"Before lexapro I spent the majority of my time sleeping in bed and hiding away from people, plus I felt really depressed.  It's really good for anxiety.  I rarely worry anymore.   I only focus on solutions and try not to worry about the things I can't control, and lexapro has helped me feel more emotionally balanced."


"I've had been on Nexplanon since 2013 (if you don't count the three years beforehand when I was on 'Implanon') I've given it a 9-10 because it achieved its #1 goal, I have not gotten pregnant, or had any complications with removal or insertion, however I am going to talk to my doctor about other options. I've gained 45 lbs since I've started, I've gotten worse acne than when I was a teenager, and the depression and anxiety has practically crippled me (and has definitely not helped the first two issues). Something has got to change, I can't stand this anymore."


"I had to come here to give another view of how this works as I came here last night was both shocked and  laughing reading the comments. I had already taken ONE tablet so it was a bit late to back out and I prepared myself for the excruciating poop storm to wake me at some point during the night. I was mildly disappointed when I woke at my usual time without so much as a tiny cramp. I did have a few rumbles that told me something was on it's way. The first BM was a bit of effort but far easier and closer to normal than the last 5 days (I had actually had some BM but scant and a lot of straining), I then proceeded to have 3 more BM's each one more liquid than the last but again no pain, no passing out. Try it, take ONE, it works"


"I was diagnosed with PCOS (PLOY CYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME) and my spots were horrible, on my face, back, shoulders. Since in been using duac - once every two days as told by my Gp, my confidence is returning, I don't feel the need to wear make up all the time, all I now have are some acne scars on my chin and back, which will clear up in time. I give my body a week to two weeks off at the 12 week cycle and re start as my hormones release the spots again. Don't know what I'd do without Duac!!!"


"This pill was the first kind of birth control my doctor recommended me with. I was very nervous at first because she said it would help with my size and because I have had chronic episodes of anemia. I also had the fears of every girl: gaining weight, acne, mood swings, and the contraceptive failing. I've been on Chateal for a year now and none of those things have occurred! I'm very happy with this pill and will renew my prescription."


"I use 600mg of guaifenesin twice a day as part of the Guaifenesin Protocol as outlined in the book "What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Fibromyalgia."

I also avoid topical and dental salicylates (also in the book) and I have begun the process of reversing my fibromyalgia symptoms by expelling the excess phosphates from my system which contribute to my fibro pain (please read the aforementioned book to get the complete description of the mechanism for this).

Guaifenesin is the only thing that has ever worked on my insomnia (suffered for over 40 years of sleep issues) and now I can get good quality sleep!

I have had no bad side effects and guaifenesin has no interaction with other drugs. But I don't need any drugs for pain or fibro!"


"I'm 19, and this is the first birth control I've ever tried.

I started taking it 3 months ago, for contraceptive purposes.

The first week was a nightmare. I had the absolute worst stomach pain, cramping, bloating and nausea I've ever had in my life. I was crying my eyes out because I felt so awful, and I couldn't sleep at night.

I kept taking it, and that side effect went away after a week. I had a little bit of spotting over the first month, but that's long gone now.

I've always had extremely horrible periods. They were so heavy, I was anemic, I had to use both pads AND tampons at the same time, and I had to change them every 30 minutes. They're so much lighter now, and my formerly debilitating cramps are almost non-existent."


"Pros: Didn't get pregnant, regular periods, no cramping, no weight loss

Cons: NO libido at all, heavy periods on the first two days

I have been on the pill, the shot, and Nuvaring. I would LOVE this birth control if it weren't for the absence of libido on it. If you only want it regulate your period, I would suggest it."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for a few years now but I may have to go off of it now due to my job loss. It has really helped my depression and not caused a huge weight gain like Effexor and Zoloft did.
"


"While this medicine was effective in lowering my blood pressure it had numerous negative side effects.  It made me very sleepy, sensitive to heat, caused my ankles and legs to swell up so I needed a diuretic, it caused acid reflux with or without food, flushing, and made my depression much worse.  I have since weaned off."


"Very effective, no side effects"


"Great med feel a lot better. Tiredness in the morning and a few weird dreams but otherwise great hope it continues."


"I have been on microgestin for over two years now, and have had absolutely no problems with. My period always comes the exact time every month. I used to have bad break outs from time to time, but my skin is perfectly clear now. The only thing I have noticed is mood swings, and increased sex drive. Overall I am very pleased with this pill."


"I've been on Sprintec for about 7 or 8 months. I noticed I began getting very depressed after about 2 or 3 months and now it has only gotten worse I'm on antidepressants which aren't helping. I have horrible migraines almost every day which seem to get worse. My period happens about every 2-3 weeks. I'm tired all the time and I have ridiculous mood swings.. I'm so touchy and sensitive. After reading this I'm going to stop taking this birth control."


"I was told that I had to get two shots or else it could be potentially dangerous to be taken off of the shot. Three months later and a ton of anxiety attacks and bleeding, I'm in the office going back on my pill. The worst thing I could've ever possibly done to myself was this shot."


"I started taking Saxenda July 1st, Today is December 17th, I am down 45 pounds! Portions are way smaller now. I feel a lot better. I did have alot of nausea at first, my PCP suggested I inject this before bedtime to sleep through the symptoms. It has worked and now no side effects! I will continue taking this medication."


"I have chronic sinusitis and was prescribed cefdinir. I had no known allergies to antibiotics (and have been on MANY over the years) Two days into treatment I woke with my face swollen and covered in hives. My throat began swelling and I was rushed to the ER. After two Epi shots and IV epinephrine, I spent 5 days in intensive care with anaphylaxis and the worst case of hives I have ever experienced. It was, by far, the most agonizing pain I've endured. It took months to go away with steroids, antibiotics and prescription antihistamines. It have permanent scarring on my body as a result of the hives. I'm now allergic to all cephalosporins."


"If my mania wasn't a thing to be reckoned with, I'd stop taking this. My hair has been thinning for the past year, and without Abilify in my combination of meds I'm a total zombie."


"This birth control has been a savior for me. After trying two different birth controls (Alesse and NuvaRing), I was losing hope that there was a good bcp out there. But velivet has been great! I didn't gain any weight, I don't feel any moodier, my acne has cleared up, my periods are lighter. Only complaint (which isn't really one, it's subjective) is that my sex drive is a lot more."


"At the age of 70, I can go back to interval training and my stomach has got flatter and my energy increased by 60% since taking Cymbalta. A true miracle. No pain at all whereas, I could barely walk six weeks ago."


"Me and my partner had a minor slip up, both scared of having a baby (they're pretty expensive). I went to get a Plan B about 28 hours after the incident, scared it didn't work because I had no immediate side effects. Safe to say about 4 days after taking the pill I had some off and on cramps for about a day. On the 5th day I started bleeding for about 3-4 days. So that $46 I spent was well worth it! It works."


"No side effects at all. Only positives - energy, better sleep.My god - how did I survive the last 20+ years working full time, raising kids and busy/stressful lifestyle, but always tired and everything felt like an impossible huge task. I never attributed these feeling to Hep C. Didn't want to use it as an excuse. I cry for all the years where I struggled to get up and do whatever had to be done. Each day was torture. I am a 54 yr old female, 1b, probably got it from my mother or in childhood, due to imperfect sterilisation in those days. I have 3 tablets left after taking 81. No tests during that time. I had a very high viral load (but normal liver funct test and fibroscan). Afraid,hoping very high load is not a factor for a cure."


"11-23-15 I got shot #1of Orthovisc. The shot itself was not painful, but afterwards the pain became intense. There was swelling, redness at the injection site and at times, excruciating pain. 11-30-15 I was given a cortisone shot to get the reaction under control. 12-3-15 I got shot #2. The injection wasn't painful but afterwards was horrible. There was redness at the injection site; swelling from the thigh to the ankle; fatigue; weakness; mild edema; pain body-wide, with arthritis type pain in my joints and the excruciating pain in the knee. 12-7-15 Given a prescription for Prednisone. Did not receive shot #3.  Finally, the last couple of days I can say the symptoms are about half gone. 1-29-16 Do your research."


"I have had the Mirena for 5 months. I HATE IT!! I've had my period for 2 months at a time with some light spotting in between. I'm experiencing abdominal pain all the time. I lose my appetite for 2-4 days at a time. Yet, I'm still gaining weight. I have literally no sex drive, and I'm always moody. I have had 3 kidney infections, 4 bladder infections and one cyst. Don't get me started on my acne, weird discharge and chin hairs!! I love the idea of 5yr protection, but this is NOT for me. Thankfully tomorrow my fianc"


"Had basal thumb joint tendon replacement and carpal tunnel release 11-13.  Still experiencing significant swelling interfering with occupational therapy end of December.  Dr. prescribed this med 2 days ago, and the pain is almost totally gone as well as the swelling!  I had  been icing and epsom salt baths, no improvement until this medication.  I have experienced acid reflux and bit of tummy ache.  Adjusted sleeping position and avoiding foods before sleeping.  I'll keep you posted."


"I was put on this medicine for 10 days. It's HORRIBLE!!! On the 8th day I ended up passing out and waking up on my tile floor in a pile of blood!!!! I had broke all 5 of my front teeth and my nose!!! I was rushed to the dentist, oral surgeon and then the EMERGENCY ROOM!! THEY WANTED TO KEEP ME OVERNIGHT!!! This drug should be banned!!! Its terrible!!! "


"I've been taking Benicar HTC for a little over a year. I eat a lot more salads and reduced my sugar intake to lose weight. After losing 15 lbs my doctor lowered my dose from 40/12.5 to 20/12.5. I wish this drug was not so expensive."


"Worsened heart problems.
I was on the medication a month and was doing fairly well. However, I suffer from occasional Afib ( usually about 1-2x month) Had it daily while using this drug. My Cardiologist took me off and Afib went back to 1-2 month. I'd be weary if you have any heart problems."


"I have been on tri sprintec for almost 3 years now. It was pretty bad for months after starting this pill. I had mood swings, I had moments were I felt depressed. I changed for a few months to the patch and depo, I liked the patch which I lost weight on, but I constantly worried it would fall off and the adhesive gave me a rash. Depo made me way to emotion and hungry. I gained weight on the pill but I'm not sure if it was because of the pill or because I started college. I have lost some of the weight since. I love that my periods are predictable and regular as well as short. I still get a few cramps and acne, but that only happens the day before my period. I no longer feel depressed or have crazy mood swings."


"Unfortunately after losing insurance coverage I had to switch from Lexapro to Citalopram for affordability.  I sure hope Lexapro has a generic form soon because it helped a little better than what I am currently taking.  I have a couple of friends who have been on Lexapro, and versus other medications it has yielded the best results."


"I started having seizures when I was 14 and tried several seizure medicines and nothing was working. I am now 20 and we think they could be hormonal so my Doctor put me on Jolivette and I have been seizure free for 2 months! My prayers have been answered!"


"I started Trinessa about 2 months ago while visiting family.vThe 1st day was seemingly perfect. My period ended within hours of taking it. Then the 2nd day we went to the water park and I was attacked by a horrible bout of nausea. I ended up vomiting at the water park then 2 more times later that afternoon. I took it the next day and 4 more days following and threw up 3 times each day about 4 hours after taking the dosage. I had no choice but to quit taking it. I couldn't handle the nausea and ongoing sickness. "


"Caused excess morning sleep."


"The first day I wanted to rip my vagina out. It was the most unbearable pain I have ever felt and maybe slept 2 hours the entire night. It was horrible. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Also, I had some slight abdominal cramping.  But in the morning, the itching and burning was gone. I was seriously dreading the second night, but this time, it burned for like 10 minutes and after that was very slightly uncomfortable. If you can get thru the first night, I think the product actually works rather well. Wish me luck that the third night is more like the second."


"I started this in mid October after I went off my old pill (LoLoestrin Fe) due to the fact I couldn't afford it anymore and theres no generic. My reaction to this pill is odd....sometimes it gives me an insane intiatiable sex drive, and sometimes I have no drive at all. Sometimes I bleed/spot for 2.5 weeks, sometimes I bleed for 3 days. I have a little acne which is bothersome since I have PCOS and was hoping for this pill to get rid of the spots, but so far theres been no improvement. Sometimes get nausea and headaches, but not consistently. Had my first ever yeast infection after being on it for 2 weeks, none since.I'll give this a few more months before I look into switching, since I may still just adjusting to it."


"Save yourself the frustration and choose something other than Depo shot! I've been on it since November and I cannot wait to have this drug out of my system. I have been bleeding for three weeks straight and it's not a regular period. It's thick and dark and just clumps of nastiness. My periods used to be light 2-3 days long and no cramps so this is torture! I get random cramping, awful acne, gain weight, mood swings and zero sex drive. Please please DO NOT GET IT!"


"Love it. Works great for acne, and menstrual cramps. No weight gain and I grew a cup size."


"I'm not sure what other people experience months after the insertion, but I had my Liletta inserted in mid November and I have bled or have had spotting every day since insertion. I either have to use tampons or a  pad depending on the day but I can never go without one or the other. It is super effective as birth control for me, as I never want to have sex with my husband per all the blood. I will be looking for an alternative birth control method."


"This medication completely gets rid of my chronic, terrible pain. I'm thankful for this medicine due to the fact that it gives me the ability to walk. People take the ability to move without pain for granted, but not I, and this medicine is the reason why that is the case."


"I began having severe nausea and dry heaving during my pregnancy. Doctor prescribed Zofran, and within minutes the buzz of nausea was gone. Instant relief. It really took the edge off. I highly recommend Zofran."


"I was started on Methylphenidate as a teenager due to fatigue and ADD. Not ADHD. For a long time, I found that it helped, I could stay focused, my mood was better...until I was into my 30's...I was put back on it and a year or two later, I was switched to Adderall, then back to Methylphenidate. I began to feel very emotional, crying out of nowhere, everything seemed amplified and my anxiety was through the roof! My behavior was reckless, it was a nightmare! I went from a stable single mom, to an emotional wreck, on a downward spiral. My doctor took me off of it, immediately. Once off of it, all of that stopped. Its definitely a drug to be careful with."


"I have been on June for a little over 4 years now. I never had any mood swings or weight gain and it cleared up my acne. I don't get my period ever- which I don't mind at all. Probably going to stay on Junel for a long time! I see a lot of bad reviews, but this is my honest opinion!"


"I am 17 years old and I have been going to a dermatologist for 3 years. I have tried almost every other type of medication they offered before finally going on Accutane. My acne was moderate, but it never showed signs of clearing, and my dermatologist said that going on Accutane would most likely be my only solution to clear skin. I have been on Accutane now for 5 and a half months, and I am done with the 6 month treatment in about 10 days. Going on this medicine was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. My skin in totally clear, and I haven't had a breakout in months. It has made me so much more confident, and now I don't feel pressured to wear makeup all the time to cover my acne. Side effects I have include dry skin and chapped lips."


"I can say that until my PA figures out a dosage, for it to work with my system I will never be healed. I first stated at 1 in the morning. That didn't work so I was taking 1 in the morning and one at bedtime. That was to strong for me. So the next thing I did was to cut them in half. That didn't work because half is not enough. Still had hallucinations. If anyone has any clue as to what I can do, leave a message."


"I had been diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri when I was 10 years old. That was 16 years ago and have been taking DIAMOX on an off for that long.  I get very bothersome tingling that doesn't go away, often waking at night with extremely painful tingling in my feet that causes me to have to get up. I get crippling headaches, that hurts when I even breathe, and the last time I was on the medication, the headaches got worse while I was taking it. I am currently back on the medicine and have to go to the bathroom every 10 minutes. I take 1000 mg a day and can no longer drink pop. Anyway, I have good and bad experience with the Diamox but the benefits to my eyes well outway  the inconvenience."


"I have been using Nubain for the last 6 years and I can honestly say, it's changed my life.  I am in dire need of a knee replacement but nobody will do the procedure due to my age..I am told by orthopedic doctors to wait until I'm at least 46( I'm 44) so I have 2 more years to wait.  I was a collegiate gymnast and coached for 17 years, have had 2 ACL surgeries and basically have bone on bone knee pain.  I have tried everything..but this is a life changer.  "


"Have been on this for over a month and each increase by my doctor provides no relief whatsoever. The last increase has resulted in severe dizziness, light-headedness, memory loss and forgetfulness, fatigue, racing thoughts during sleep, inability to sleep more than a few hours, and most importantly, no effect on the severe pain from postherpetic neuralgia.  I will not be accepting another increase from the doctor, the side effects are intolerable, not to mention the side effects of weaning off this ineffective drug that I have yet to suffer."


"My 6 yr old son just starting taking the medicine a week ago and has been over the top emotional, a lot of crying over nothing at his daycare during the day.  He started at 10mg which did nothing but makes him cry so he went to 20mg for 3 days which seemed to work for about 2 days.  Today we put him up to 30mg to see how it goes.  I'm worried about the emotional side effects and really hope that it subsides."


"My right knee has no cartilage left and cortisone shots were tried with little relief. Supartz was suggested and other than having to wait a month for insurance approval, the outcome has been positive. I just finished the third shot and no more sleeping with right knee elevated, I look forward to walking our neighborhood again!"


"I was on both cymbalta dueloxetine and I would swing in and out of black moods and get very angry and uncontrollable. I'm a small girl 5"3 114lbs at the time and it took 3 full grown men to get me held down several times. We're now trying new medications after we discovered I was having seizures for months before starting the meds, It is a great medication to be on if it fits with you and your current medications. Do your research thoroughly"


"It makes me calm but I'm tired all the time."


"I have allergies and asthma. My albuterol inhaler was no longer giving me any relief. I have had a bad cold and when I would cough it would turn into an asthma attack and I would see stars, feel faint, my throat would start to close and I felt like I was going to pass out. I purchase the EZ Breathe atomizer with Racepinephrine. The relief was immediate, it was easy to use and is portable. I did experience a little hand shaking for a few min after, but my other inhaler made me dizzy, shaky, and gave me headaches, so this was VERY mild comparatively. Some  stated it burned the throat, but if your throat was sore prior, that kind of makes sense, although it did not burn my throat. The ONLY reason I did not give this a 10 is for the shakiness."


"This pill was my 3rd try at birth control pills. From my last pill, this one decreased my severe headaches. But, after going off of the pill for a couple months and going back to this I felt like I went crazy during PMS week. I have never in my life experienced such severe depression and mood-swings that I felt I was going crazy. I did have regular periods, but headaches came back full force and I am moody always."


"74 years old and developed UTI after flu. On the medicine for just 2 days and will stop.Developed scary pounding heart beat. Need to stay around a while longer to see younger daughter wed."


"Took it last Sunday morning. I was right in the middle of my cycle, so I made sure to take it as early as I could, which was within 12 hours. Seems to have done it's job as 6 days later, my period started, a whole 8 or 9 days early (have a short, 25 days cycle)."


"I had acne along the chin and forehead since I was a teen. At 20 I was diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian syndrome and my acne only got worse over the next five years. Nothing seemed to help, neither a dermatologist's skin care routine nor significant diet changes. At 25, I begged a dermatologist to prescribe spironolactone and was 100% clear after three months. In the beginning I had stomach discomfort but stuck it out and it went away after a month or two. I'm six months in and feel like I'm almost taking for granted how much easier life is with a clear face! This stuff is gold to me. Just wanted to write a review in hopes that some other PCOS girls can find this sooner than I did."


"I have been taking flecainide 100mg twice a day for 8 months. Had two episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation prior to this - cardioverted within 12 hours with the first and converted to normal rhythm while waiting for a cardioversion the second time.  No episodes of atrial fibrillation since, though I think I may be getting occasional ectopics (probably had them before but more vigilant now). Feel fit and well but holiday insurance is higher than my husband's now!"


"Seem to work well! This is the only one that  seem to work. I have recurring urinary tract infections."
