"I'm 23 and have never had children. I got my Paraguard IUD a year ago. The insertion hurt a lot less than I thought it was going to and was more uncomfortable than anything. I had mild cramping and spotting for about a week after and no cramping since. My periods have been more irregular and heavier with the Paraguard than previously, but overall I'm very happy with it."


"50 Y.O. male, diagnosed Stage IV mRCC on 1 may 2014. Radical nephrectomy of right kidney June 2015. Tumour had invaded surrounding fat, IVC and adheared to bowel. Mets appeared in Jan 2015 (liver). Started 800mg Votrient feb 2015; side effects included, white hair, gastric issues, loss of taste, high BP otherwise felt ok. After 1 Month high liver enzymes forced me to stop. After 4 weeks off, recommenced 400mg  of Votrient. Side effects not as severe but similar to 800mg dose. Required a week off Votrient recently due to a bout of pneumonia. Liver Mets have shrunk from 20mm to 7.5 mm since Jan, 400mg seems to be working, lets hope it stays that way."


"I suffer from PTSD, Ive tried nearly everything legal on the market, I don't suffer from depression, when I was on anti depressants It was like my brain, personality and soul was gone, I became a living zombie. Diazepam was the first thing my Doctor prescribed for "short relief". I find it to be one of the best things for dealing with PTSD, Anxiety and night terrors! it calms you down but you can still think and continue with day to day life"


"After months of struggling to sleep and trying different medication (Ambien, Halcion, Trazodone, and others) I found 30mg Restoril with the Melatonin and Benadry would put me to sleep. Restoril stopped working after a while and I couldn't fall asleep and couldn't stay asleep. Over the next 3 months I averaged 3 hours of sleep a night and only 45 minutes at a time. My body was completely exhausted but my brain would keep going. I have never been diagnosed as bi-polar or any other mental illness. I just have a very active mind. Finally taking 2mg Klonopin, 25mg Elavil, 600mg Seroquel, 10mg Melatonin and 50mg Benadryl at night would put me to sleep. I sleep like a normal and no side effects besides restless leg syndrome and morning drowsiness."


"I fall between fatigue and narcolepsy.  Things like falling aslleep at traffic lights, work and at home.  The doctor thought it might be the side effect of sleep apnea, so I took the test and ended up very low (6x per hour).  I was put on Provigil which I soon fell asleep on, then on to Nuvigil, which wasn't strong enough.  Ritalin was next but it gave a big crash when it ebbed.  Now I am on dextroamphetamine and it is helping immensley.  No more falling asleep in the car or at work and at home (which was putting a strain on my marrage.)"


"I had my implanon inserted September 17th 2012. Before that I had a baby June 30th 2012. So im not so sure as to if I have gained weight from this product or from having a baby or even if it's from one or the other and im just overweight.  Anyways I had it removed in February this year 2015. I have to say this is a great form of birth control.  Never got pregnant on it. That was the whole purpose of having it inserted. The reason I decided to have it extracted is due to possible weight gain, mood swings, no period at all, and I did have a lower sex strive. Since I had it removed my mood swings got better,  I have more of a sex strive which I didn't think it was decreasing, and I didn't start my period till after I had my paragard inserted."


"Severe hair loss. pain in shoulders. sleep problems. depression."


"I've never struggled with cold sores has much as I did the past week I started with one and it went away with aberva than the next morning I woke up with another one. It was so painful the aberva didn't work any house hold remedies I tried failed. It got the point where I couldn't take it anymore I went to the doctor and got the acyclovir ointment ( and I did take the pills as well just because the level of pain I had was horrible and to make sure it wouldn't spread) but the ointment does work very well I put in on 4-6 times the day got the ointment and the pain went away and it started to scab the next day. I 100% recommend this!"


"I normally take generic opana (oxymorphone) 30mg and it works great for my pain. I can function good such as go to the store, light yard work, and enjoy family. But I recently got the Brand name opana (endo) and it is awful. I'm in so much pain and experiencing withdrawal symptoms. It's been 18 days and it is still like taking a Placebo. My breakthrough oxycodone 30mg is the only thing keeping me out of the hospital. I've been in bed 90% of the time since taking this Endo brand. I think it's the amount of additive in the medication. "

"Depo worked great for me. Reading people's horror stories almost put me off, but I am glad I decided to try it. I had bleeding for the first few weeks after the first shot, but absolutely none since (I am between 2nd and 3rd shot now). I was on a diet when I got the first shot, my weight remained the same. I think the diet and shot canceled each other out."


"I found Mysoline effective for my essential tremor, but the side effects of tiredness, lack of energy, plus reduced sexual function (difficulty in ejaculating) is quite frustrating."


"I was on it for a month & lost 7 pounds. I started having really weird dreams & my mouth was super dry. Started taking it again after stopping for about a week taking 1 in the morning & 1 late afternoon. I am going to increase again bc this medicine really does curb my appetite & no cravings. I do feel nauseous but it goes away after chewing gum"


"Side effects, a bit of fatigue passed after four days. Weight loss 30lbs. 24 pounds in three months. Combination with low carb diet and simple slow cardio walking. Weight  loss doc as my regular doc does not believe in weight loss medicine. Steady, level headed weight loss and better blood labs for me. Not a doctor but this is right up my alley. Money well spent for my good health no insurance coverage yet."


"these drugs are dangerous... they ruined my life.  made my illness much worse. the doctors are do not believe me as they think I'm an inferior life form.
SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
TOOTH DECAY
LACK OF MOTIVATION
EXTREME WEIGHT GAIN
HEART PAINS
REDUCED LEVEL OFCONSCIOUSNESS
THEY ALSO MADE EXTREMELY DELUSIONAL TO THE POINT I DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE ANYMORE."


"May have caused uterine hyperstimulation.  Even after removal, contractions continued to come 1 minute apart at 1 cm dilation.  Ended with cesarean. Mother required 2 years of physical therapy for complete loss of abdominal control and severe pain during bowel movements."


"I have been on Saxenda since September.  It is now the beginning of January and I have lost 32 lbs.  I experienced a lot of nausea in the beginning, however, I stuck it out.  Currently I am at 3.0 dose and feel amazing!  I started at 216 lbs and now weigh in at 184 lbs."


"I am usually not the type to comment or write a review I feel so lost, helpless and alone about this subject. I decided to go on some method of birth control because I was having abnormal bleeding since October 2014 (two times a month, week long heavy bleeding). I got Depo shot in Feb. and wouldn't stop bleeding. Then my doc decided I should try IUD Mirena in April. I literally bleed (Feb-End of July) non stop! It stopped for 3 weeks in August .... So far I've been on my period since start of Sept! I see no sign of stopping. I've never been pregnant and the insertion process was painful it put me to tears. Worst cramp I've ever had and that lasted all day. Occasionally I get sharp cramping that last 5-10minutes. :( I feel helpless."


"I've taken lamictal for many years for depression. Prior I took Prozac and Zoloft with many side effects. I have a daughter with bipolar.  It's worked great for bipolar and it works amazingly well for my depression and no side effects."


"Tamiflu helped reduce my 2yr old's symptoms to cold like symptoms. The coughing remained, but decreased. The vomiting stopped as did the fever and diarrhea. I would recommend this medicine."


"I really like Seasonique. I have been taking it for 7 years now. I have never had the spotting that other people have talked about. I have short periods every three months and don't have to worry about it in between. My only problem is that my weight fluctuates during the three months and I have put on a lot of weight since being on this medication."


"I've tried them all only to be met with violent dreams. Triazolam has given me my only restful sleep."


"This medication is wonderful for patients who cannot tolerate triptans.  I had a terrible cardiac reaction to Relpax years ago and spent a night in the hospital being monitored.  I am a healthy, young woman so this experience was horrifying and I was very afraid that I would never find relief for my migraines.  My neurologist prescribed this medication along with starting Botox treatments.  She was right on the money with this treatment plan!  My headaches have become less frequent and far less severe and with the addition of Fioricet with codeine, I can easily treat my migraines with minimum intrusion into my busy life."


"I've had CIU for 15 years, have been to docs from Boston to Colorado, and more cocktails of different medications on and off label.  The hives took away lots of my life!  Welts and angioedema....started xolair ten months ago.... Very few hives for several months then they were all gone.... After 5 months I came off all other antihistamines.   Now hive free!  Still get one shot once a month"


"First time taking Nitrofurantoin. I have a urinary tract infection about twice a year and have been on a few different things. I can not take sulfur based medicines as they produce a rash and can no longer take Cipro as it has caused panic in me before. I am taking a 10 day course 4 times a day of Nitro. On the positive, I felt almost immediate relief from the urgency of the UTI after taking the first  pill. It changes the color of urine to a bright yellow, and from the first urination after taking the Nitro the urgency was gone. This medicine did cause me to feel slightly sick the first few times I took it, and also causes me to be in bed at 8:30 pm every night, other than that works fantastic"


"Causes extensive bruising but is effective in it's  role as a blood thinner."


"Prescribed Bactrim for a urinary tract infection. On day 4 of medication and have been experiencing diarrhea since day 2. Severe nausea and no appetite. Terrible migraine and cannot sleep."


"I have been taking two months now lexapro 10 mg and it helped with the insomnia I had due to anxiety.I was taking ambien for two years, but now with lexapro I didn't need ambien anymore to sleep."


"I got Nexplanon 6wks post partum. August 2014. I have loved it! No periods, no weight gain, no mood swings. I am back to my normal pre pregnancy weight. Best thing about it is I am still able to breastfeed! I have had no negative side affects. Definitely getting again if I decide to not have another baby."


"I was prescribed Ativan (aka Lorezapam) because I had a head injury and my Doctor presumably thought that I had a very high level of anxiety (I wasn't getting enough sleep with the head injury so the Doctors perception was incorrect), but once I started using Ativan sleep woes disappeared completely of which I had always had problems staying asleep for virtually all of my life !

Ativan (Lorezapam) puts you into a "deep" sleep, you don't wake up during the middle of the night (Or late night for that matter!), cuts dreaming down to virtually zero and is THE BEST SLEEP MEDICATION I HAVE "EVER" SEEN !!!

My prescription was for 1mg and to be taken 1 hour before going to sleep which is exactly what I did !

Effective Rating = "10" !"


"At first I thought it was helpful because I want to remain open and optimistic, I do think the medication helped with some anxiety.  The side effects for me were so negative.  It became very clear once off the Fanapt how the side effects were adversely impacting me.  I had severe joint and muscle pain as a result of taking Fanapt.  I can deal with a little anxiety.  My other medications take care of that Lamictal and  Topamax.  Fanapt side effects outweigh the benefits for me.  Yoga and breathing exercises and mindful meditation.  Also the restlessness and dry nasal passage ways and feeling that I had to constantly have to move and shuffling of my feet as well as the long term possible tardive dyskinesia. "


"tried a few other brands first, by had terrible nausea and couldn't hold them down - this is the only one i could tolerate and along with a topical that my doctor prescribed me, my acne really cleared up"


"Awful. I'm currently on this birth control and literally everyday I bleed. And there's an odor that comes with it. It's awfull. I'm going to give it a few days but it's bad."


"I had a long fusion of my spine, from T-3 to the pelvis.  This was a huge operation and it took over a year to heal, but chronic pain is the price I pay.  I used to take oxycontin and oxycodone but my physician switched me to Ryzolt, 200 mg.  It works better than the Oxycontin that I was trying to wean off.  But I expected to be able to wean off of the Ryzolt as well and am now trying to take the 100 mg., but it is difficult.  I'm hoping that the pain will subside with time, and am trying to go slowly by first alternating days that I take the 100 and 200 mg pills.  My goal is to be medication free, but I'm not sure it's possible."


"66 yrs old with moderate urinary difficulty, up a couple of times a night. Tried Flomax for a few months, but did not like the stuffy nose, light headedness, sore muscles and crazy dreams. Now taking Rapaflo, with only slight stuffiness.  Seems to work consistently well.  It does cause complete anejaculation (no ejaculation), slight to somewhat diminished climax remains, which feels a little strange but okay.  Overall, Rapaflo works well and the pluses outweigh the minuses - much better for me than Flomax."


"I had painful and extreme cystic acne in isolated areas on both sides of my chin when I was in college. I underwent accurate treatment at 23 right when Accutane was approved by the FDA. I took the treatment for 3 months and the side effects were very dry lips, sometimes splitting. It totally eliminated my acne and my self confidence, social life, and career soared. I tried everything before this treatment and nothing worked and was extremely happy with the results.

At about age 35, my acne cysts reappeared, although not as severe. I underwent another 90 day treatment and haven't had any reoccurrence since."


"I just started this medication after using Lexapro for 18 months and it quit working. My doctors office had some samples of Brintellix and switched me over. Since I started this medication I have been so sleepy I can't get off the couch. My mood/depression is much better but I can't stand being tired all the time. I will give it another week, and if it does not get better I will call my doctor."


"I have also been suffering from vertigo attacks...last one 7 hours....oh my! Any way after being fobbed off with being diagnosed with menieres....i realised my atlas was out...had atlas profilax to put it back ...and take valium to relax the muscles around the neck ....and i am as good as new again.....good luck to you all...xxxx"


"I just started this med yesterday for osteoarthritis & fibromyalgia. After reading the other comments my experience is pretty normal. I'm itching like crazy, had a bad night-no rest, nausea & mild headache. With all those side effects, it appears to have knocked off the edge of the pain. I will continue using if for a few days if I can handle the itching. I want to give it some time because I cannot use narcotics. I end up in the hospital with dehydration from vomiting when I use any narcotics."


"Been on Invokana for 2 years now and A1c went from 8.8 to 6.5. Weight loss was the best part of taking this medication. Really no side effects except having to pee more often if I eat too much. Was advised by my doctor to drink more water than usual to avoid yeast infection. So far so good. I hope my insurance continues to cover this medicine."


"I had my gullbladder removed in 2004, resulting in always needing to know where a potty was at all times. After several Dr & 12 yrs of getting sick. I had a colonoscopy & endoscopy done where is came back normal to the naked eye but the biopsy didn't. It showed Mastocytosis (masked cell disease). Was put in Welchol before my procedure & it was like a miracle pill, after finding out what I had they changed me to Zertek & Zantak within three days I was back to getting sick. So back to Welchol I go & prob will never try anything else agian.

Happy to finally not worry about when to eat & where the bathrooms are. Life is going to get better!"


"I've been on this BC for less than a month, I love it. I'm 5'6" 110 lbs and 23 years old, I workout 6 days a week and have a normal diet, nothing radical. Noticed no weight gain with this pill, no mood swings, no headaches, this has improved my skin and is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, just be sure to set an alarm & take it at the same time each day (I take mine at 10pm) before I go to bed. If you're hesitating, Don't. Give this a shot and stick with it, you'll be happy you did. Cheers!"


"My name is Emily and I took Kroger's Next Choice morning after pill recently June 15th 71hrs after unprotected sex on May 12 the day I ovulated. Yesterday was June 29th and I have a positive pregnancy test, even though I have mixed feelings about this pregnancy I can tell you that this pill was not effective in preventing fertilization of sperm meets egg in my case. The only morning after pill that I can say that has worked for me in the past was Plan B - ladies if there's ever any doubt go with a Name Brand or talk with your doctor I've wasted many hrs. researching web links to find out the effectiveness of this pill & this was my result."


"If I could rate a 0 I would. While I was on it for only 4 weeks I became extremely irritable and was constantly hating myself. Worst meds I've ever been on and I've tried a lot."


"After the birth of my son in June 2011, I started Lo Seasonique. Before the birth of my son, I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen and loved it with no problems. I only stayed on Lo Seasonique for one month due to a flow like a heavy period on an almost every day basis. It stopped for two weeks on the second month, and started again very heavily with severe abdominal pain and cramping. The only reason I wanted to try LoSeasonique was for the "fewer periods" purposes. After trying LoSeasonique for a three months (one pack), I have discontinued the use and will be going back to Ortho Tri Cyclen!"


"Use for lower back pain and spine arthritis. The patches make it possible to function, significant pain relief. It helps to tape the edges down with athletic tape otherwise the edges catch on clothing and pull the patch loose. Far fewer side effects than oral NSAIDS and better relief."


"I had Synvisc-One injection in January, 2010. I'm due for another this month (every six months). I'm an avid 56 year old tennis player and my knee has developed severe arthritis through injury (tear and scope) and years of pounding on the court. I haven't been able to play the Singles that I love for three years, as a consequence - and have had to settled for Doubles.

No more - this is a miracle drug for me personally. I'm playing singles again and being very active in other ways with no debilitating swelling and pain. It is all good for now.

I'll keep taking the shot and I am so grateful for this drug."


"Prescription  trimcinolone acetonide cream USP 0.1% - did not work at all.  Day and Night for a month, no change.  Momestaone furoate didn't work after that either."


"Had to put up with 1 AM awakenings for the first few months on this medicine but it is good from anxiety/social anxiety.  No other side effects and seems helpful. "


"I've been on the Implanon for a little over a year now and I'm ready to have it removed! The constant MOOD SWINGS, TERRIBLE ACNE AND CONSTANT NON STOP HEAVY PERIODS are just too much. My periods last anywhere from 12-15 days! I was told that it would evenually regulate and it hasn't. Yes it's effective because you bleed so much that you're unable to have sex!!!! I have not had any pregnancy scares but who wants to go through all the extra nonesense? I don't! I'm having it removed soon!"


"I have been on a couple different types of birth control, and I have to say I like mononessa the least of all the ones I've tried. I started taking Mononessa about two years ago when I graduated from high school,  because my insurance no longer covers the birth control I was previously on. My senior year of high school I weighed approximately 125 pounds, and now I'm up to 155. I can't say the weight gain is completely from the birth control, but I think it has mostly come from me switching. I am very moody, constantly hungry, and I feel as if I keep gaining weight. Other than that, I've been taking birth control since I was 13 (so for 8 years now), and I have never had any major problems."


"Got hurt on the job. So for the pain I got hooked on oxycodone and Percocets. I lost my family, house, kids, you name it I lost it. Had a friend after 7 years of addiction take me to the clinic and got on Methadone and have not touched any pain meds for 3 years. I was at one time a dose of 130mg of methadone now down to 40mg. If you choose this way remember it is a long hard road and you must try not to be on it forever. I am now just getting my self respect back and trying to start a new life. Have been cut off my benefits after 7 years and looking for work. "


"It definitely helps with the pain and mobility part of rheumatoid arthritis, but I am nauseous usually 2 or three days after I do the shot.  I'm also tired a lot and feel weak after I take my weekly shot.  Sometimes I don't take it consistently because I don't feel like being sick that week.  I do enjoy it when my fingers actually bend though."


"Zoloft is a very good medication for anxiety and depression.  For me better with anxiety.  I am BiPolar I, am also on Zyban 150 a day. Taking these two medications together is fine as is also taking when you are BiPolar.  Only with a specialists direction, though.  I have been on Zoloft a couple of times the only side effect before was severe diarrhea.  This time when I started taking it I got butterflies in the stomach and flutters, but over time this unusual for me side effect left me.    Some say how many weeks to feel a impact. For me this last time was around 6 weeks. Which is normal. It's been proven that any time prior 4 weeks is most likely placebo effect.  But if you feel better well, whether a placebo effect or not, it's good."


"Was so traumatized to take this med based on other reviews. I'm 120 and 5"4 and get sick and nauseous from even one tynenol regular strength. I got pedialyte to prepare... Took the pill and waited. And NOTHING happened except my uti going away. Do yourself a favor and don't read the Internet. Trust your dr!"


"A dentist prescribed it to me and it works very well. The pain goes almost instantly."


"I'm at seven weeks on the full dose and I've lost about 15 pounds. Started at 202lbs, down to 187lbs.  I say "about" because, like others, I've plateaued for the last two weeks with my weight going up and down by a pound or two.  But, I'm going to hold on and see if it moves over time.  I've always eaten well and been very active, working out 5-6 times a week, so this is really the only option I have left.  I'm going to keep doing the right things and hope the scale starts moving again.  At $150 a month, this is expensive but 15 pounds beats a blank."


"I've been on 10mg now for 4 weeks.  I was on zoloft before that and was noticing tiredness and being unmotivated to do anything.

While weaning off zoloft and being on brintellix i did notice more energy and better mood, but now I seem back to how I was before.  My doctor just upped my dose to 20mg and said that should help.

I did notice increased appetite and it feels like I am hungry ALL the time!  I hope this stops soon."


"This is one of a handful of meds that I have been prescribed over my 35 year battle with panic and I have to say that this drug had no effect at all, good or bad.   My panic just continued.  Today I am on 100mg of Elavil and it is working quite well.  Best of all, Elavil has the added bonus of curbing my neuropathy which had forced me to be on fentanyl for over 4 years."


"Got the squirts like crazy!"


"Works great for the urinary problem but created a whole lot of other issues. Severe weight gain, anxiety(moody), constipation, etc. Taking 4 mg every other day I was up to 1 to 2 hours but still had issues. Up it to 4 mg daily is when I really noticed the above. Not a good fit for me."


"I have been taking "Mirtazapine" for 2 years. I was under weight with no appetite and was taking over the counter medicines to sleep. I was 40 years old weighing 89lbs before my doctor prescribe me this medicine - 2 years later I'm 111 lbs and sleep well every night. This really worked for me I would recommend this if you need to gain weight (because it makes you hungry) and if you have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep."


"I have used this for about a year now. I used to be on a high dose of xanax for several years but my new Dr. Didn't agree with that, so here I am on adivan.

I don't feel as if it helps with anxiety that well. It takes a high dose for me when I have panic attacks. Most definitely not used for sleep."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Tastes awful, but it could be worse. I read a gazillion reviews and tips before undertaking my first dose at 3:30 p.m. I did divide the diluted dose into two portions, added a little Polar Half and Half (lemon/grapefruit soda) and some crushed ice. Still very bitter and salty. Took long gulps through a wide straw, breathed through my mouth and then "chased" between with lemon wedges and sips of the 32 oz of water you are supposed to follow up with. Some burping while drinking. Took 30 mins to drink and 30 mins to kick in and I've been going for the last 2.5 hrs. Some cramps; a tad nauseous. Not looking forward to the 2nd dose. Keep telling yourself that it's better than getting colon cancer (my dad died of it)."


"Fast acting (25-30 minutes) and very few mild side effects - stuffy nose. Can be taken after a meal so no empty stomach requirement. Delivers excellent long lasting results without the Viagra/Cialis side effects."


"I bled, oh did I bleed. I had baseball sized clots falling out of me. For months. Let that sink in. Got through that and started having irregular periods, never knew how long they'd last or how heavy they'd be. They'd go away for a day or two and come back full force. No big deal. I had a long standing boyfriend and we dealt with it. The weight gain...oh lord. I gained close to 40 pounds in a year, despite being on a ketogenic diet and working out. I couldn't shed it. I hated it. Then came the mood swings. When I say mood swings, I mean it felt like I wasn't even being treated for my Bipolar (which was controlled for over a year btw). I was scared of myself, others were scared of me.

I'm done. Being removed 12/28!!! Couldn't be happier."


"My boyfriend and I decided to have unprotected sex (stupid idea) we were in the moment you know. This happened around 1am in the morning he came inside me for the first time ever in my life. I took Norlevo 11 hours after this but I'm so terrified I might be pregnant. I've used it before and it worked wonders but thing is before he use to pull out or we used condoms and I've only had unprotected sex with him 3 times the third being last night 29/12/16. I'm so terrified as next year I'm starting law school and he's finishing his PhD in economics. We're both just not in a space for a child and if I could turn back time I would but I promise to write another review to let you know my results. "


Insulin aspart / insulin aspart protamine

"Very fast acting and accurate results."


"I was on Zarah for about eighteen months, and I didn't get pregnant so I'd say it's effective :)

Unfortunately, I've finally decided it's not the right solution for me. I felt AMAZING for the first month on it, but since then I've been on a steady decline and I just couldn't even think about taking it anymore after last month.

Side effects have included muscle twitches, extreme fatigue (I've ALWAYS been a 4-6 hours/night kind of person but on the pill I need 12  hours- it's crazy), massive spontaneous hematomas, depressive episodes, shortness of breath, difficulty maintaining/developing muscle (I'm very athletic ordinarily so this was not cool) and generally depressed mood. Not worth it for me."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for 3 months now to combat depression and anxiety. I am taking 30mg per day. When I first started taking it I was very sleepy. I had to take naps during the day which wasn't too good. I finally had a breakthrough with it and now no longer need the naps. I had good side effects for a few weeks like no hunger pangs. Those went away. I haven't gained any weight either like I did on Zoloft and Serazone. I feel great and during my PMS now it is so nice to actually be nice to others again. It is a wonderful medicine. Keep taking it and you will feel better. The sleepiness will go away and the sun will start shining again. I laugh again like I used to and I have NO SEXUAL SIDE EFFECTS yeah."


"Ive been taking Lo Loestrin for 5 months now my body has not adjusted to this dumb pill I've had 2weeks periods one week without bleeding than I start again I'm feeling depressed all I wanna do is cry. I haven't had sex with My husband because the bleeding and all we've been doing is fighting. I hate this pill I'm done taking this damn pill it's no good."


"I used lidoderm patches for many years and I relief my pain. It is horrible that medicare not allow to use it because I don't have shingles or diabetic! I wish to know who made that stupid decision or it is medicare doesn't want to pay for it."


"Was on Soma for over three years. 250 mg 3 times a day. After my eye sight was effected, my eye Doctor suggested that I stop the Soma. I talked with my MD., who agreed.  Was very shocked to find that after 24 hours of stopping medication, I went into a full migraine headache, extreme sweating, extreme pain. I was hurting everywhere. Then vomiting started. This continued for days! Please if you are on this medication for any length of time slowly get off it. No one should go through what I went through. Finally got the Doctor to prescribe a few more pills to slowly get off this medication. READ before stopping any medication! IT worked great while taking it."


"I was suffering from moderate acne from when I was 16 but I did nothing and they cleared up in about 8-9 months and then after a year my acne flared up again and they were more bad cystic acne on my cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, and small whiteheads all over face. Doctor gave me tretinion cream with a cream called Fusate-B for a month I have been using it for 2 weeks and it has made my 70% pimples vanish and yes I get breakouts but very small with small pimples. I have wheat complexion so those pimple left me with black spots and they have also faded about 20-30% I have never imagined this good results in 2 weeks I will continue this for months and see what happens."


"Took the top edge off of the pain caused by several broken bones in my foot, which was making life pretty difficult.

I was left with what I'd describe as the pain from a bad bruise, but fairly easy to deal with."


"I was diagnosed with anxiety many years ago, and started initially taking prozac, which did nothing for me. I switched about 6 months ago to sertraline, and started on a tiny dose of 25 mg which didn't help very much. I am currently on 50 mg and the difference has been wonderful. I stopped freaking out about everything, crying for no reason, shaking, feeling faint, or any of the other awful things that come with anxiety. This dose has worked well for the past 6 months, however I notice it is becoming slightly less effective, so I'm going to bump it up to 75 mg. All in all, though, sertraline works very well for me personally."


"Was on fluoxetine for 20 years. Initially I thought they wouldn't help me. At first I felt worse, but then one day, three months later I realised I felt like my old self again. It was wonderful. The only time I had anxiety was whenever I tried to stop taking my tablets, otherwise I was completely 'normal'. Then the most awful  thing happened. I had surgery this year ( not the first time I've had surgery) and when I woke up from the anaesthetic I was suffering from severe anxiety. I was terrified. I increased my dose of fluoxetine but after 4 months of severe anxiety, I reluctantly asked to try another SSRI. I noticed a difference almost straight away. Now after taking them for 5 weeks I'm almost back to my old self."


"I'm only taking 50 mg at night for my leg sciatica pain and I feel dizzy at times. I'm also using Dr. Ho TENS machine on my lower back for 40 minutes to scramble the signal pain. I think both are helping right now.

I was on a higher dose over 300mg a few years ago and my hands and feet swelled up and I gained 30 pounds I can't get rid of now even with water pills, so I had to stop med.

I've had shingles right when I turned 50 before I could get the Shingles vaccine which I recommend to everyone as shingles is painful! I took only Lyrica 25mg two or three times a day to stop the shingles pain, A low dose due to side effects from a larger dose."


"I had Eczema on my right and and was prescribed this medicine. After dealing with the itching, broken skin, bleeding of the area and so on for a few weeks I was diagnosed with Adult Eczema and this cream did a great job at clearing the affected area rather quickly."


"This medicine was used for a racking cough.  It gave relief and allowed sleep.  It is an important tool in the physicians medicine chest.  Take only the exact prescribed dose.  it is very strong.  Go to bed."


"I have been on just about every pill/needle contraceptive out there and usually all the side affects take about a year to show up. I was on depo needle for 2 years and LOVED it but my doctor made a point of mentioning every 3 months that I should go off of it. Now thislovely little pill - destroyed my sex drive within the first 3 months, only positive is that I grew a cup size over night. Downfall, gained 23 pounds over 6 months. Constant bloating and took 5 months for my period to regulate. Another bad side affect is I no longer sleep longer than 5 hours a night when I am known for sleeping like a log (and night sweats are so bad I wake up soaking to the point I have to change my clothes and sheets)never had that before in my life."


"I'm eighteen and just became sexually active for the first time and just wanted to be extra protected even though my boyfriend always uses condoms and still does. I have had horrible cramps and spotting. It's disgusting and really scared me. My boyfriend took me to the doctor and they determined that, that's what it was. I've just been taking over the counter pain medication to help, but this has been a really bad experience."


"I started saxenda on 09/19. I have just moved up to  my 1.8 dose today. I have lost 9 pounds as of today (2 weeks later). I have had mild nausea when I take it but I take it before bed so it's not a big deal. I kept myself on my same high protein low carb diet. I am excited to see how it all works out. Good luck to all of you and I hope it all works out for you!"


"My 14-year-old son suffers from major depressive disorder/social anxiety disorder. He was previously on lexapro for 10 months, which worked well for his symptoms but gradually stopped working. He was switched to Zoloft and increased from 25 mg to 50 mg after a week. Only 3 days into the  50 mg dose he reports much improvement in his depression symptoms. It doesnt control his anxiety symptoms as well (yet) but we are hoping that will change in the next few weeks. Overall, he feels better on Zoloft. Takes it in the evening due to initial side effect of headache."


"I started taking this because my doctor insisted in me trying something after many failed programs after I read most of you guys reviews I gave it a try and the 1st day I felt weird as hell had a tingling feeling on my left hand and a headache from hell but after my 2nd day it's like I don't feel a thing maybe only a headache but ibuprofen took care of that. I would tell anyone scared to try it give it at least two days. And I believe you'll love it. I'm starting out with 266 pounds."


"I had Mirena inserted at 10 weeks postpartum.  There was a little cramping but I've had worse cramping during my period than having this inserted.  I have 2 kids and had c-sections with both.  Only ever got to 4 cm with the first one so they did a repeat c-section w/ the second. I love it. I don't have to think about birth control and I've had it for 4 months now and no problems.  I've recommended it to all my friends."


"I have been sweating since I was about 12. I am 16 now and I went to the doctor 3 days ago. She prescribed me Hypercare and so far this product has changed my life!  After my first night, my sweating was significantly decreased though still present, but each day after I use it, it works better and better. Today I thought for sure I was sweating. I felt like I was and it was 90 outside and nope: not a drop of sweat. Even on a clingy colored shirt.  I wish I had tried this years ago. I have wasted half my high school experience wearing only black jackets and never raising my hand. I can't wait to start school in the fall now being worry free. It burns and itches BAD but its worth it."


"I am sleepy that's all I have to say "


"My son is almost 7 years old and has ADHD.  His Doctor put him on Strattera and Metadate CD 2 years ago.  His behavior got worse and worse (Doctor even diagnosed him with ODD).  I refused to believe that my child could control his behavior and I knew this was a result of his medicines.  His Doctor kept saying no, he just needs more structure etc.  I finally DEMANDED that we take him off both medicines and try something else.  I insisted we try Vyvanse. The BEST thing I have ever done.  My son is now a sweet, happy, normal little boy who rarely gives us problems.  His appetite is back, he gets along great with other kids and we are amazed at the change in him.  I highly recommend that other parents give this medication a try for their ADHD children."


"I'm a 48 year old female.  I've been on Lexapro for around a year due to panic attacks. Unable to function, I couldn't breathe, or drive myself to and from work without having an attack. My Doctor put me on 10 mg Lexapro, and all of that stopped.  Have not had a problem with that since. I was absolutely exhausted and numb, though.  I have also gained around 20 pounds, and no libido at all.  My Doctor cut me down to 5 mg, and I took myself down after a couple of weeks to none.  Probably not the smartest move.  Now have dizziness to the extreme and some headaches, but I'm determined to get drug free if possible."


"This drug killed my mom.  She was recuperating from heart surgery and developed afib, which I understand is not unusual.  Rather, than prescribing a safer drug, her cardiologist prescribed Amiodarone - the drug of last resort. We did not even know that he had prescribed this drug until she was showing certain side effects such as coughing, weakness, swelling, inability to sleep, etc.  Only after I said that maybe there is a conflict in the drugs she was given did another cardiologist take my mom off of Amiodarone.  But it was too late - the damage was done.  She went into the hospital on October 21st and never came out, dying - no, suffocating to death from lung toxicity on December 19th.  Amiodarone and the cardiologist's neglect killed my"


"I regret doing this because the bleeding is relentless; when you have it put in and after you have it taken out. It is stressful bleeding for months on end all day and night long."


"Doctor gave me this to help me sleep after the usual drugs (lunesta, ambien, etc) didn't help much and made me sleep walk.  Been taking for 10 days now and the stuff is fantastic.  I pretty much sleep through the night every night and no more sleep walking."


"This is the first birth control I have ever been on, and it's awful. I only gave it a 10 because it does what it's suppose to. I've been on the pill for 6 months. The first three months I had severe acne. I've never had an acne problem until then. Spotting is a severe problem, I have to wear pads majority of the time (two weeks at the most with no spotting). Periods are very irregular, one day I'm good the next few days I'm not. I've experienced mood swings, and cramping. Not a good experience at all."


"I love Differin. I seriously cannot live without it! My face is acne free for the first time ever! In the beginning yes you might not notice any changes but just keep using it day after day and after a few months you'll see the progress."


"I've struggled with IBS-D for the last 4 years and nothing has helped until I tried Viberzi. Viberzi allows me to enjoy my day without running to the bathroom constantly. This medicine is a life saver! I saw results within the first couple of days!"


"Did not help my cough or sickness at all."


"I was on Loestrin 24 FE for about 7 months between 2011 and 2012. My doctor perscribed it as I have excessive cramping that makes me miss work due to such painful cramps I throw up. I was in the hospital once because I could not stop throwing up and needed an IV as I was so dehydrated. I also could not keep pain medication down so cramps would not go away. I started taking this medication. I noticed my period getting less and less painful and heavy every month. Some months I would not get a period! My doctor said this was normal. Why did I stop taking it? I have no clue. I must have been deranged at the time. I am starting this medication again and WILL NOT quit until I am ready for a baby. It's not birth control, it's CRAMP CONTROL!"


"I took this pill one day and that was all I needed to, I took it at 5:30 pm and was fine, until I wanted to sleep. I tossed and turned all night, my heart racing, I was literally so tired but my mind just would not shut down. Those things they call brain zaps are terrifying, DO NOT TAKE THIS."


"It eliminated my prostatitis but left me with plantar fasciitis in both feet & tendinitis in my arm.  I used to play tennis twice a week without any tendon issues.  I was on cipro for 30 days twice a day and 2 months later still have plantar fasciitis in both feet after doing nothing but walking."


"Travatan effective in controlling glaucoma.   Travantan no longer available.  Travatan-Z's additives were extremely uncomfortable.  Used Travatan from 2003 until around 2009-2010. "


"I had my first infusion today.  No ill effects with the exception of exhaustion...additional that is as I already am sleeping 16 hours per day. Not sure how a person is supposed to make a living with this advanced RA.  I am hoping that Simponi will resolve that in the near future Will let you know when things start to work and I can return to the land of the living."


"Hi everybody! I am the stalker who reads post for my own benefit, but rarely contribute. Today I decided it was time to give back in the form of sharing my experience. I have ALWAYS been a hard gainer. I've had four kids and still maintained a size zero (93lbs) weight at 5'1. After fighting to gain weight for the last two years I was up to 108lbs. Fast forward after having the flu followed by new braces which limited eating, I ended up 96lbs and fragile looking. I tried to gain it back but since I was a hard gainer I couldn't. Went to my doctor, got these pills after reading posts and gained 11lbs in ten days. From 96lbs on 5/1/16 to 107lbs on 5/11/16. Drowsy days 1-2 only. Now no sleepiness and mega apettite. 4mgs three times per day."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Not really diarrhea, but a little fecal leakage at times. Loose stools a lot."


"Cleared infection right away but had to stop medicine early because of all of the side effects I had from this. 4 days later,still having some of the effects. Not sure how long the effects will last,but I never want to feel this bad again"


"I'm a 17 yr old girl and I had acne all over my cheeks and forehead. I had tried another form of oral acne medication and prescription face gels, but nothing helped. I'm almost on my 3rd month of Accutane and my skin has improved 150%. I still will get a pimple every now and then, but they're nowhere near as severe. The dryness is annoying. Cetaphil soap and lotion has worked well for my face. I use Aquaphor and Burt's bees for my lips but they still flake away all the time. I also get nosebleeds because of the dryness in my nose. I also sleep a lot more since I've been on Accutane. It's worth it though!"


"Loestrin was the first birth control I used. I've had minimal problems with my period before and was using it purely as a contraceptive. Unfortunately, I was quickly disappointed with it. My emotions were all over the map and it didn't help that I had a period for 12 days straight. This wasn't a nice, light period like I was expecting. It was about twice as heavy as it normally is. My breakthrough bleeding was almost daily as well. I have now switched birth control (to Portia) and am very satisfied. Plus, Loestrin hurts the bank account! There is no generic alternative. "


"I have had injections for a severe lower back injury and have tried many different pain meds. Nothing helped me until My Dr. prescribed Duexis. This medication has given me my life back! I do think it might make me retain a little fluid and I maybe gained a few  pounds but nothing significant. Also causes some gas. Nothing severe though! My pain level went from  a 9/10 to a 2/3 sometimes even a 1 on this medicine!"


"Worst allergy medication on the market. Buyer be ware! I cannot stop sneezing and my eyes are watery. Don't have this issue with Zyrtec. I'm going back to it!"


"I've taken tizanidine for almost a year now. I LOVE it! I have painful muscle spasms and cluster headaches. It helps incredibly with both of those. It does make me a little drowsy, but nothing severe. Doesn't help me sleep at night, however. Am still having chronic insomnia issues."


"I just wanted to start taking this BC because I have a bf. But this pill is giving me all sorts of symptoms.
1. I spot every morning
2. I get really sad and confused or irritated
3. Gas...
4. Acne is taking over my face
5. Worst nausea after I eat anything
6. And occasional headaches.
I am getting off this pill asap..
If you want these symptoms, this is the pill that you are looking for."


"Come to the end of my second week of the trial.  I am not to full dose yet but I don't see or feel any different.  My appetite is the same, sometimes I feel more hungry than before.  I am hoping when I get to the full dose it will click but right now hopes are low"


"Was the best help I had ever. Bring it back.
"


"Have been taking 40mg Opana 2 x's/day for about 10 months now for a compressed disc/pinched nerve in my neck, chronic migraines and fibromyalgia. Opana SAVED MY LIFE! I was on 8 x 10mg Norco daily which was NOT working. We began Opana and I was able to gradually function almost normally again as a busy photographer and mother of 5! HOWEVER, lately, I have noticed increased breakthrough pain EVERYDAY, but am scared to ask my doctor about increasing my dosage for fear he'll REDUCE my dosage, and thoughts of me curled up in bed in pain again terrify me! Does anyone have any thoughts on this dosage? I KNOW it would help me regain my normal activities that have decreased. I want my LIFE back and Opana has TRULY enabled me to function productively up until now."


Aspirin / chlorpheniramine / phenylephrine

"I love taking this before bedtime, or when I have time to rest as it does make me drowsy. It tends to work faster than others and when sinuses are bad, it is a major plus. Only downside is it makes me drowsy so cannot take it when working (although half works well enough to keep symptoms tolerable until I can take a whole one)."


"Inderal was a miracle medicine for me. It prevented migraines with common triggers. The only migraines it was unable to prevent were those triggered by bad weather and hormones."


"I love this birth control. I have been on it for four years and I have not experienced any side effects at all. I think that the woman that experienced weight gain were just eating too much and blaming it on the pill, I actually lost from weight ( but I have been trying to by working out more) . My favorite thing about this pill is it is tiny and easy to take"


"I've suffered from anxiety and depression off and on for most of my life. I've tried many antidepressants (mostly SSRI's) without success. The side effects of these drugs were unbearable (mainly acute insomnia and panic attacks). Finally, after 30 years of intermittent mental suffering, despite running 30 miles a week and seeing a therapist on a regular basis, my primary care physician prescribed Cymbalta. It is a miracle drug. Although I've only been on it for 3 weeks, I'm already feeling relief from a major depression that started 6 months ago. I no longer have suicidal thoughts; negative, obsessive thinking; panic attacks; and I sleep like a rock. the world is so much brighter - I feel a sense of calm, contentment, and happiness."


"Went through 8 weeks like a champ. Lots of energy. Felt great and never missed any work. However almost a month after treatment I am noticing my joints ache. As well as my hands. More than usual. Anyone else? I go back for my last test the middle of October. 6 month check."


"So many of you, like me, reading these reviews have read these over and over. I was in ur position and thought my life was over, I'm a teen who thought I was pregnant. What happened was on Oct 19 me and my boyfriend had sex for only the 2 time, and only my 2 time ever so I was obviously still nervous. Sadly the condom broke, & we didn't notice until after the fact but I think it only broke about 5 min before we stopped. Although he didn't cum and it was only a short time before we stopped, we were both super scared and freaking out bc I'm not on birth control. We could only go as soon as 5 hr later, but I took the pill. only cramps and back pains side effects, but the pill worked!!! I got my period today on time! best day ever! It will work just wait it out!"


"I find Auryxia superior to Phoslo and Renvella.  In particular the additional Iron has allowed me to stop taking IV Iron and avoid Anemia.  The Renvella also caused excessive farting  The Auryexia does cause flatulance but less so.  Now, why the heck can't Keryx make enough of it to meet demand?"


"I have tried this formula the plain Vicks 44 for the past year and a half. It helps and is better than others on the market but just does not do the job like the formulas 44D and 44M . I would rate the D formula as the best ever made and then the M formula the next best with that making the plain 44 as the bottom product. But now I can't even find the straight 44 formula at the places to shop in my town. So I came on line to find out if I could order it online."


"I find Xiidra very effective. My vision is briefly blurred for about 15 minutes after use, but I just plan accordingly. The biggest problem I have with Xiidra is that the delivery mechanism is difficult to use. The drops are difficult to get out, and if you shake the vial between drops, a drop comes out and is wasted. I used to use Restasis. While Xiidra is more effective for me, the Restasis vial had a far superior delivery. Perhaps the Xiidra vial opening should be slightly larger."


"I have to admit I purchased my saxenda and after reading the reviews on side affects I didn't touch it for 2 weeks. So negative.  Eventually I had the courage to try it.  Well I will tell you I have been on saxenda now for 3 weeks. I have never even had any side affects at all.  I have lost the urge to eat so much, little is better.  I have this new energy and just feel so much better.  I've lost 12 lbs and feel I'm on my way.  After reading all the negative comments  then you read the drug info about the side effects which  happen to 1 out if 10.
I hope to be off meds in the near future.
Give it a try.   It works.  You will like yourself again"


"I am on the third month of this birth control. Since I have started Camrese, my face remains clear and my breats grew a bit as well. And I like the idea of having only four periods a year. However, the spotting has been an absolute nightmare. I had no spotting at all up until the end of month two, and the spotting has not stopped since (I am nearing the end of month three). Sometimes it will seem like it has stopped, but then an hour later I will be bleeding again. It is exhausting. I don't know when it will stop, but I hope it will stop soon, or I'll definitely switch pills again. The spotting is the only negative side affect I have had thus far."


"The ring doesn't look huge but once in you takes up a lot of space and is very close to the vaginal opening.. I imagined in my head it being smaller, tucked further in and snugger fitting around the cervix. A few hours after insertion my ovaries began to have a slight dull ache. I thought my lower pelvic region is just adjusting to a foreign object. I woke up the next day and it was a worse ache and my lower abdomen was sore, vaginal cannel was painfully sensitive and my stomach had a empty sick feeling even when eating. Day 3 I had to remove it! I was so bloated, with severe stabbing gastrointestinal pains so bad I couldn't move! I tried to wait a few hours and let my body calm down but upon reinsertion it reoccurred. Horrible!!"


"I wrote my expirence with this pill before, back when I started and it actually worked.

I've been on it for 6 months now and let me tell you, i'm already going to the doctor to switch.

Sure, no babies. That part was effective.

But eventually, I ended up having cramps again (they had gone away when i first started) my acne flared up like nobody's buisness, my headaches are horrible and daily, and i've been suffering from depression. I never have any motivation, i burst out crying for no reasons, and I get angry out of no where. This is very out of character for me.

I'm disapointed but hopefully I will find a better option."


"So if you are like me, something as simple as using the rest room can become quite a scary event.  Ive heard so many people talk about "picking the stuff out of their ass" and i about threw up!!

I have been taking the usual go to products like milk of magnesia, miralax, mineral oil, ducolox stood softer and basically every over the counter thing you can image for some relief.

Without fail MAGNESIUM CITRATE is a GOD SEND! I am a bigger guy so i have to drink 2 bottles and a ton of water but IT WILL WORK!

The first inital poop might hurt but after that blockage goes, its smooth sailing.

I would MUCH RATHER sit on the toilet with diahreah then STRAIN AND BE IN THE WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE everytime i try to poop.

THANK GOD FOR THIS PRODUCT"


"I took this med once a day for 1 year. Before being prescribed this med was having migraines 25 out of 30/31 days per month. Birth control pills made the migraines worse. Could not tolerate prescription pain medication, severe vomiting. Lights and sound were not to be tolerated. Emergency Room Shots then available would not stop the migraine, still had to go to bed. Blood pressure would soar during an attack. Had to have suppositories for the vomiting. Could not keep pills down. I don't remember about weight gain; however I discontinued this medication because I developed numbness all over my body. Arms, legs, stomach, hips, private places. I worked a physical job and had many contact bruises where I didn't notice pain on item contact."


"I've been on Natazia for over 17 days and I've had good and bad results. Before taking the pill, I got several fibroids and had 2 surgeries to remove them before they returned again. I've very extreme painful periods with heavy bleeding 3 days out of the 7-8 day period. And I'm going through pre-menopause. Natazia made the pain go away this time. But I'm having very dry, dark brown spotting.  I have no cervical mucus. I think this pill is good for the pain and bleeding but bad for what I'm experiencing now. I think I need to try something else or get the hysterectomy."


"For years, I didnt know what was wrong with me.  I gave up drinking alcohol because even enjoying one glass of wine would cause my stomach to bloat and I would be in so much pain it would even be hard to get to sleep. I guessed maybe an ulcer or acid reflux, something along those lines.  Finally, I was able to go see a specialist. I told him I would have severe pain from eating certain foods or drinking certain things. I also had a lot of trouble with constipation and having regular bowel motions.  He decided to first give me DICYCLOMINE and see how things went.  I also started to change my diet, in with the good, out with the bad. Been almost a year now ....DICYCLOMINE-my lifesaver!"


"I was proscribed this medication for 7 days, twice a day. 500 mgs. I have to say this is only been my 2nd day taking it and I feel like my infection has already started clearing up. I'm finally felling like myself again. One thing that sucks about this medication is the taste it starts to leave in your mouth. I feel like I always need to be eating or drinking otherwise I'm stuck with this chalky taste in my mouth. Also, make sure you eat before or right after you take this, otherwise you will feel very sick. Wish they warned you more about this."


"I take so many meds - rhythmol, coreg, levothyroxine, aspirin, statins - all of which have some of the listed propafenone side effects that I simply cannot know which is causing the effects or whether I have some other  problems not shown in tests.. I have paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, CAD one  stent placed May 2010  RCA, hypothyroid and god knows what else. I'm 85 and can still do 30 mins aerobics daily and the same day feel sick as a dog, There must be tjousamds who cannot pìnpoint their side effects.. Come forward and comment please."


"This drug is amazing. My father was an addict. He was having horrible back pain and ended up getting addicted to hydrocodone. He turned into someone I didn't know. It was horrible. He went to detox three times and it didn't work. He'd get right back on it once he got back into the real world. A few months after the last detox, his counselor put him in touch with a doctor who worked with addicts and Suboxone. Since then, he's back to the dad I know. I never thought he'd be able to completely kick the pain pills. I wanted to believe it, but deep down, I just didn't think he could do it, based on his track record. But he did! If you or someone you love is addicted to opiates, try this drug. God bless whoever created it."


"Three hours after I first put on the Neupro patch for the first time, I felt like I was reborn.  I suffered from restless legs 24 hours a day and was heading for a serious meltdown.  After about 4 or 5 months, the restless legs returned on occasion.  I stopped drinking diet coke and continued the patch.  I have been restless legs free for almost a year and I feel like a new person.  I am a woman, age 64.  I started with Restless Legs Syndrome in my early twenties but only occasionally.  When I was 60, they came almost regularly, then 24 hours a day.  My neurologist put me on every pill imaginable.  They would work for a month and RLS returned with a vengeance.  My husband searched the Internet and found Neupro.  My doctor prescribed it and I am back to normal."


"I have been miserable.  Took a one dose of Diflucan last night and I can say swelling is less but everything else that is awful is still there.  But, wine lady, please don't tell me I can't drink wine.  I'm almost finished with my glass when I read your review....  Should I take another one-time-dose?  I'm way too old for this!!"


"Horrible side effects immediately. Could not finish a sentence, felt drunk and tired. "


"Blood pressure dropped sharply and nicely.  Able to halve the dose after a week.  Very noticeable pedal edema during medication and after stopping the medication due to excellent response and the disfiguring foot and lower leg swelling.."


"Contracted Stevens Johnson's  spent 2 months in hospital kidneys shut down 80% of body  blistered still having problems 2 years later"


"Works well to treat moderate pain and increase flexibility.  If new to usage you can expect a "head buzz" but with continued usage the euphoria dissipates, but the pharmaceutical effects remain.  Does tend to cause constipation, but by comparison to some other pain killers out there, it is far more manageable.  Prescribed to me with muscle relaxers, but the muscle relaxers make me too sleepy to function."


"This is my first time ever taking birth control of any kind. I've been seeing my boyfriend for about 8 months and until about a month and a half ago we used condoms, then I decided to get put on birth control. I'm currently about halfway through my second pack, and things seem to be going pretty well. Probably about the second week of my first pack I had abdominal cramps. Just like period cramps. My breasts also hurt really bad. But both of these symptoms went away within a few days. My period was also shorter and lighter, but my cramps were just as horrible as normal. I haven't gained any weight, that I know of. I don't weigh myself weekly so I'm not sure about that. But everything else seems pretty normal."


"I've had it for three years. After the 3rd year I got it reinserted, simply because it works FOR ME. I didn't gain weight, no headaches, no extended menstrual cycles. If anything my cycles became very light. The only thing is I experienced cramps, but I get them anyway so that wasn't a bother for me. Everyone's body is different, so if you want to try it, then do so. Don't base your decision from other people's Experience."


"Really helps out, puts you in a Normal mood and keeps you steady. No side effects . Does a great job"


"At 25 i started taking celexia. When I became pregnant less then a year later I noticed it not working any more. Then after my daughter was born I noticed a huge difference. My doctor perscribed my cymbalta, starting at 30mg and finally leveling out at 90mg. This is the best I have ever felt and have now been taking it for almost 5 years. A year ago I tried to lower my dosage (through my doctor of course) and with in the week noticed a huge difference, I was more irritable, less patient, and more anxiety. And when I dont take it for a few days my head pounds, I feel nausious, and not like my self at all. At the end of the day the good out ways the bad. Although I do wish they were not so expensive but how can you put a price on feeling normal?"


"Does not work well for severe pain plus it takes too long to start working."


"Had a Renal Nuclear Scan with Lasix Injection for die contrast to appear on the scan to identify the source of blockage in a kidney.  Prior to the scan, 5 weeks of recovering from an Upper Respiratory Infection including Bronchitis, all of my URTI symptoms returned with a severe cough and esophagus (throat) constriction DURING the 45 minute scan after the Lasix was injected.  Fortunately, I was in a hospital where they treated me immediately for the allergic reaction.  READ all of the interactions and side effects.  After 12 hours, I feel much better."


"Have to have a colonoscopy every 2 years . MoviPrep tastes bad but it works. Tastes better than others ."


"I take 25mg in the morning and 50 at night. Within the first two weeks of taking it, I tried to commit suicide, I was fighting major depression at the time too. By week four the feeling went away. Took 2-3 months for the fingers and toes to stop tingling but I had that in the toes any ways from nerve damage in the back. They increased my evening dose and within two weeks again I tried to commit suicide again. This time twice in one week and within a month I stabilized again. My doctor will not raise it anymore even though I just begged her to, it's only day 7-21 that I need to be watched and the last time, I called my sister to take me to the hospital the second attempt.I didn't lose weight on it."


"I started taking Wellbutrin XL August of 2016. After starting this drug, I had the motivation and desire to go out and change my life! As a man, this drug drastically increased my sex drive! Which was a huge relief! That first day and all that night all I could dream about was sex - Everything was much "bigger" too. I think because Wellbutrin increased my blood flow and heart rate. This went on for about two weeks until everything levelled out. However, my sex drive still remained more elevated. The only negative side effects I had were extreme migraines those same two weeks. I think I also lost a lot of weight but I'm not sure how much. I was the skinniest I had ever been at that time."


"I've had chronic constipation issues my whole life (in my early 30s) and this is literally the only thing that will basically clear me out. I only really use it when my constipation is particularly bad - it's one of those things where you really have to make sure you are very close by to a bathroom for at least 24 hours after taking it. It's definitely not the most comfortable experience - you will get stomach cramps and be up on the toilet for most of the night. But it's definitely effective. To me it is worth it  to get cleared out and not have to deal with the nausea and pain that comes from being severely constipated."


"Denavir is the only medication I've ever found that takes care of a cold sore as soon as you feel the tingle. I just don't understand why a small tube costs almost a thousand dollars!!"


"I have been taking Loestrin for 8 months now. After about the 3rd month of taking it, I have had no period. It has not helped my acne, though. I was on the Depo shot for about a year and it was nice, until I gained 15 pounds. That's why I switched to the pill. So far, I love it. No period, no weight gain, and no increased acne. I have been on a slew of different birth controls and they all seemed to either make me depressed, gain weight, make my periods weird, and even almost costed me my marriage. My husband said "no more birth control." It all made me crazy. This is a wonderful little white pill. He has no complaints about my moods with this one."


"This product is absolutely AMAZING! I am so glad that I have found something that finally works! I used it one night, it itched and burned but I braved through it, because pain is beauty! I use it one day, and for the next 3 days I had not 1 drop of sweat! Just used it again last night and I'm still bone dry! Love it! "


"Used both Flagyl and Cipro. Also I found that after 7 days the color of my urine did not look right, freaked out and did some calling around to pharmacist, only to find out said yes this is a side effect although not real common, of course I would be the odd ball."


"My experience has been horrible. I completed all three doses and each time was overwhelmed by intense itching and burning. By the third dose I was up half the night miserable. It didn't even help with the infection. I will never be buying this again."


"I started saxenda in August 2016. I have been a yoyo dieter all my life. When I started I weighed 273lbs. I now weigh 216 lbs. I have always been an active person. I go to the gym 2-3 times per week for 45 minutes. I also take a 20 minute walk during my lunch time. The weekends are my most difficult time so I make it a point to at least get my 10,000 steps in each day and do some type of activity . I have never denied myself any food although I make sure to eat as healthily as I can. From time to time I still have DQ blizzards, French fries and anything else I love but in much smaller portion sizes. This is the first time In my life that I continue to stay motivated and continue to reach for my goal weight. Better late than never."


"Two years ago, I had my first bout with Gout, in my right foot. Last week, to my surprise, I had Gout, in my right wrist. This medicine relieved the swelling in 2 days, but I had severe runs with it, and an upset stomach."


"Life-changing!  With Botox my almost daily migraines are well-controlled for 2-1/2 months of the three-month treatment period.  If I do get a migraine, most of the time ibuprofen is all I need.  Before Botox, ibuprofen would do nothing."


"I have used this for four years, since my dad died, and I recommend it to anyone who is depressed or angry. I went off it once, at a stupid time, and I will never stop taking it again."


"The things you have to go through if you stop taking this drug are awful. I would never of started taking it if I knew how bad it is when you stop"


"Third episode of afib cardiology placed on sotalol 80mg bid. I'm starving all the time, nauseated, and gained 3 lbs. in two weeks. Is not stopping afub from occurring"


"Just started it today. Doctor wants to stop the Haldol and taper off the Zyprexa. I also take something for ADD which helps the intrusive thoughts which then allows me to finally concentrate. No nausea as others have stated and just a mild sleepiness. See doctor in 2 weeks."


"I actually had no desire to quit smoking.  I enjoyed the feeling, smell and taste. My boyfriend and family and everyone except for my co-workers, didn't smoke. I figured I'd shush them all and give it a shot and be done with "trying to quit". Read a ton of reviews and told my boyfriend that If I tried it, I might go crazy, but he said he didn't care as long as I quit smoking. I got a prescription from my doctor. Bought a pack the same day I started. Took me 3 days to smoke it, down from a pack a day. The next pack took a week and the last pack took me 2 weeks. Haven't bought a pack or bummed since. Made me cranky and gave me vivid dreams, but not scary ones. Been off Chantix for 2 weeks and still nothing. Very VERY thankful in the long run."


"This medication has given me no pain relief. All it has done is give me about every side effect listed in the warnings and a few more. After a Utility pole fall over 15 years ago I was doing just fine on Flexeril until I had a drug interaction and my doctor has been searching ever since for another drug. I have tried 3 different ones at this point and am getting frustrated."


"Have been using this medicine for several years and it has made a great improvement in my quality of life.  Much fewer infections since starting on Vivaglovin but I'm facing the probability of stopping the use due to the increased cost of the medicine through my insurance company. It went from a normal co-pay to a percentage and cannot afford over $1000 a month.  But it works great."


"My migraines started when I was about 8 years old and not until I was about 30 my doctor put on Sansert after all the other medicines on the market at that time failed to help. He would slowly wean on the tablet till I took 3 a day then after a time he would gradually wean off to none when the headaches started again we went through the same process. I did this 3 or 4 times. After the last time I never had another migraine I had no side effects to this medication and can only be grateful to no longer have to suffer from those debilitating headaches."


"It worked for the most part, but the side effects were miserable. Ever since I started taking the generic I've had terrible migraines and can't sleep through the night. I think the side effects outweigh the benefits."


"I was given this medicine in the 6 Day Pack for an allergic reaction. Since I started taking this medication I can't sleep, I maybe doze off for 20 minutes if I'm lucky. I feel very hostile and confused, like I can't progress my thoughts at all and I keep forgetting what I'm doing. On top of that I'm experiencing a lot of shortness of breath and every time I stand up I get dizzy. I'm incredibly thirsty and have to use the bathroom more often now since starting to take this medication. I can't wait to be finished with it seeing it's 50/50 helped with my symptoms.. The taste is horrible, like acid in my mouth and I have to take it with milk to make sure it doesn't burn. Since yesterday morning I've developed a short throat and bloating. :/"


"Since using Levemir, my blood sugar has been a lot lower, but have developed a itchy rash where I inject."


"I had kidney surgery and Extra strength Tylenol worked just as well as this . Saddened by the prescribed addicts on here.  No thanks."


"I have completed my second shot on Tuesday and will be getting my 3rd shot this Tuesday, and have not had any relief in either knee. Both knees seem exactly the same as before I had the shots.  Over the past 3 years I have had about 3 cortisone shots in each knee every year. That gave immediate relief, although only a temporary fix. I am hoping after Tuesday, I'll get some relief. The doctor told me to be patient for an additional SIX weeks."


"I recently got this birth control. My periods are normally off a little so it's hard to track them anyway. But this was different,  my period usually comes on the 2-3 week out of the month this time it came on the 4 week. That was fine Lol,  though it did put a dent in my Florida trip. However,  my period usually lasts 5 days , 7 the longest it's ever lasted. , my period has been on for 11 days so far and still is!!  The cramps have not really been painful and my bleeding has been lighter than normal,  but still!  It's summer!  I'd like to enjoy it lol!  But besides this I haven't experienced any other symptoms!  So far I like it,  besides the period lol. It's Okay thou!  Better and more effective than the pill or shot!"


"I wanted to share my experience with Plan B since I know many of you are reading these reviews scared, anxious, and grasping for something to calm you down. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend using the pull out method, but it was the day before my ovulation day (according to the Period Tracker App), and I was terrified of the possibility of pre-ejaculation. I also had egg-white discharge, so I knew I was fertile. I took Plan B within twelve hours of unprotected sex, and had about a two week wait until my next period. I woke up very nauseous the next day. For about a week after, I had really bad cramps, and thick, white discharge. This morning, I got my period on time! It works! Stay calm, ladies! You can get through this, I promise!"


"Just upped the dose to 50mg, this medicine works good as far as getting things done and having energy, the first time I took it I was really concerned about my school work and helps me stay on task. The only bad thing about it, for a few minutes at different times of the day this medicine makes me feel like it's wearing off and I feel down or kind of worried then it goes away. So my "happy" felling goes up and down throughout the day."


"Blood Pressure went from about 140 over 70 to 190 over 98  with Lisinopril. I was surprised that Lisinopril stopped working for me. Started taking Azor 5/40 about a month ago and my blood pressure is 118 to 125 over 60 to 67. I never had blood pressure as good as this."


"Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex , he admitted that he came right after we had sex. Then and there I cried because I knew I had to be fertile because my period was coming soon . So later that night we managed to buy and afford plan b . Even though I took it ... I still panicked .. He even called the pharmacist to ask if it works. But a day or two later I noticed I was cramping everyday up to 6 days I used the bathroom and I got my PERIOD. It came earlier! I was relieved but in pain ... The cramps I have are horrible , I feel nauseous and sick and my period is as heavy as can be. All I want to do is lay in bed and rest and drink something hot or really cold . But I rather have this pain than to be expecting!. Glad my period came back"


"I've been on birth control for over a decade and Levora for over five years with no issues. The past three months, the pharmacist has substituted Portia for my normal medication, insisting it was the same. In the first month, I noticed severe pain and bloating with my period; the following two months brought bouts of depression, rage and hysteria. If you are prone to depression, avoid this medication. Additionally, I lost my appetite almost completely and probably ate less than 1500 calories a day, AND gained weight! Four days ago, I switched to Syeda (a Yasmin generic) and already I feel better - and my libido has improved."


"I started with GERD symptoms in August 2010.  Tried over the counter medications and my NP precribed aciphex.  No change. Discouraged. She then prescribed Dexilant and it has been a miracle. I can drink a cup of coffee again.   However, for a month now I have the diarrhea side effect, but I'll put up with it for now."


"I found Cymbalta to be a miracle for me.  Within a week of taking it most of my aches and pains disappeared and even my massage therapist stated she noticed a big difference.  The problem was the side effects of sexual dysfunction and dry mouth.  I added Wellbutrin and love that medication as it greatly improved my mood, but still did not help with the sexual dysfunction.  I am now on Lamotrigine and Wellbutrin but the pains in my joints worsened unbelievably, intolerable really.  I think I will be dropping the Lamotrigine and going back to the Cymbalta, and just put up with the side effects."


"I was prescribed this by the doctor. She never mentioned that it could make my skin raw, dry, flaky etc so when I read reviews, I was a bit afraid to use it. I didn't slather it on but put it on the spots directly (though it says it's not for that). I figured if they dried out, it wouldn't be too bad. I tried this and I thought it was really gentle. I had no red dry skin, the spots looked smaller...this made me think that maybe mine was out of date or hadn't been kept in the fridge before use like it says to do. Maybe I just have really resilient skin (as I have had acid peels). So for me, this was good. My skin isn't perfect but the big spots I used to get are a thing of the past and any new ones shrink quickly."


"First of all there isn't any decent bowel prep as of yet that I've heard of.  If anyone knows of one please share. I thought this was the worst ever until I tried the straw. I had to drink the first part at 6pm mixed with water or Gatorade. Gatorade was my choice. Followed by two 16 ozs of water.  Pow!! Within an hour I was busy.   I didn't have the straw when I started the first part of the prep.  It was so gross. I really had trouble getting it down.  My husband ran out to a fast food joint , to get a straw. I didn't use the straw till my second dose which was 7am. Followed by two 16 ozs of water  The straw works, so does the prep. The bum gets so sore you barely can sit so be prepared with either moist aloe wipes, Vaseline, or desitin."


"Really took away my muscle pain, but made everything else worse. My fibromyalgia was horrible. I had a fever for nearly two weeks, and was always nauseous. I loved the freedom from muscle pain but couldn't live with all the other side effects. "


"I have been on diazepam long term,  started because of PTSD.  It is a mild sedative if I'm relaxing I'll get tired, if I'm working I don't get tired I just feel no negative feelings.  It really is a chill pill.  I am in construction field now and no issues and if I take one before going to bed my back pain  soothes (Valium is mild muscle relaxer) and I always seem to have pleasant dreams.  Never had a bad dream since on Valium, but at the same time it isn't luxurious or fantasy dreams either.  It has been a miracle drug for me.  I do not like how doctors now like to avoid benzos.  Valium is a great medicine.  I take 30mg per day generic brand.  Hope this helps someone."


"i HAVE FINALLY FOUND AN MD. THAT KNOWS WHERE TO INJECT IT.  I almost gave up after 2 and 1/2 years of failures by guessing Dr.s who didn't really know where to inject.  They were always hitting the opposite side of my neck thinking that was where the problem lied... finally found a dr. who knew where to inject it.  Now I have been straight necked for the first time in 25 years.  Hell yes it works and no side effects... but for some reason I still have the pain (radiculopathy) on left side."


"I have a lot of different types of pain, but the two constant pains I have are arthritis and tailbone pain. The best way I have found to describe it is that it's like sitting on a sharpened egg. For fourteen years . I am only pain free for about three hours every day. I take two Vicodin in the morning (my bedtime, as I work third shift). It takes about an hour to really hit. I take one when I wake up and four and one more when I go back to sleep for three hours at nine. With the two latter doses, my pain isn't completely gone, but the edge is dulled. I can deal with it. I have been taking Vicodin for eight years. If someone knows a physician who would be willing to remove my tailbone, it would probably cut my use in half."


"Started this pill as a form of BC and for acne. Only on my second cycle and I no longer get cystic acne and my other bumps are completely gone. A few whiteheads here and there, but nothing terrible. Only complain I have is that skipping periods can be tricky on TriNessa. If you're looking for primarily an acne-reducer, try this pill!! No complaints for its affect on my skin."


"I am a 27 y.o. male. My doctor started me on a Focalin XR 20 mg regimen a month ago to treat my ADD and hopefully control my anxiety at the same time. I loved the Focalin for the first week or so that I was on. I could immediately tell a huge difference in my mood, concentration, focus and general outlook on life. My anxiety was decreased tremendously as well. As the month went on I started to notice that the Focalin was very hot and cold. Some days I would feel on top of the world and other days it didn't seem to work at all. My irritability increased too, so my doctor has switched me to Vyvanse 40 mg. This is my first day on it and no complaints so far."


"I absolutely loved Pristiq - great energy - great sex - felt good. I unfortunately suffered a side effect that I couldn't empty my bladder all the way. So that meant sleep deprivation. My MD thought it was a UTI, but getting off the medicine and seeing a urologist cleared up the symptoms. The urologist said it was a very common side effect of Pristiq. He put me on Flomax for a couple of weeks... Loved Pristiq, hate that I can't take it."


"I had the Depo shot 3 times and for the whole 9 months I was bleeding. The first 3 months I was told it was normal and to wait another 3 months so I did. Then I was told that I needed to wait ANOTHER 3 months and so I did. Finally I couldn't take it anymore. I was going through boxes of tampons and it had ruined my sex life with my boyfriend at that time. Now I have best friend who had been on it for over 3 years and she has had NO PERIODS whatsoever! Not fair right? This is not for everyone. I would recommend only giving it 3 months to see what your body does."


"I have been on Xarelto for three  years now with not one single problem"


"I have been on fluoxetine for about 4 years.
It has been most effective in eliminating low mood swings, panic attacks and even helps tame anger issues and irritability over the little stuff. Has enabled me to balance home and work life and be a reasonably good father of two and husband without driving everyone crazy. I'm in my late 40's and would recommend it highly to anyone who constantly is confronted by overwhelming negative thoughts which inhibit enjoyment of daily life."


"Taken pill day after intercourse. This is no the first time I've used the pill. This time was a lot different from others. I had been on the day of my period when I had unprotected sex. After i took the pill I immediately started bleeding again, starts cramping and had diarrhea. The fist time I used the pill i had blood clots the size of quarters come out, but this time there is just a lot of blood. Very painful. But it seems it is normal for this to happen."


"I started taking buspar about 2 months ago. I started having "brain zaps" and I thought it was temporary. It was not. I started getting water retention and I wanted to eat more than usual. I also was extremely irritable constantly.

I was told to take 5mg twice daily. I started with half a pill then after a week the whole pill 2x daily.

I since then I decreased my dose to half. Now I'm off completely.  All of the side effects have stopped almost immediately.  No brain zaps, irritability decreased slowly, and water retention stopped.

This pill didn't do anything except all of the bad. On the positive side - getting off of it does not give you severe withdrawal."


"I have been on Arixtra for 4 years now and am in law school.  I had tried all the other medications for DVT's and pulmonary embolism, which I have had both and this is the only one that allows me to have a normal life."


"I have been so sick I had average of 104 temp. Couldn't breathe. I went to the dr. They ran tests and xrays turns out I had pneumonia. They fave me two shots a steroid and also this besides my butt feeling sore I feel so much better. I also was given antibiotics. But three hours after this shot I can breathe without mini painful short breathes."


"Prescribed 30mg 3x daily. Used to be on Opana 40mg. Opana was definitely a better solution because 1 pill a day is better than 3. New formula causes stomach problems for me, but now I am on roxicodone and it does great for my spinal disc pain
Just wish I didn't have to take 3 a day"


"Used for prep sedation..4mg slept for 4hrs.complete amnesia"


"I'm going to give you the total rundown of this pill because I couldn't find one single descriptive review and my anxiety was through the roof when I first started. I am 18 years old with terrible, irregular heavy flow so my doctor prescribed this for me. My mom also wanted me to be safe if I were to try anything with my boyfriend. So, I am 5'2, around 107 pounds and I have been taking this for almost 2 months now. I have not gained any weight nor have I experienced any acne, if anything, I've lost 3 pounds and my skin is glowy (mind you, I am a couch potato). I did, although, experience nausea every day. I started at 6 PM-I would wake up in the middle of the night with low blood pressure. Don't recommend this starting time. Helped flow!"


"I started methadone in 2011 and it has been a life saver. I am currently on 100 mg of liquid methadone daily. Before I started treatment I was using oxycodone 30 mg, lets just say I had a 100 to 200 dollar a day habit that I'm not proud of. "


"I've only been using it for 3 days and I haven't used or needed my pump once. I usually use the pump at least once a day. It might be too soon to tell, but I haven't had any side effects and I'm not winded when walking up the steps like prior to using Advair."


"Horrible reaction to a drug, gave me chills, restless legs, anxiety, pain. Like opioid withdrawal, but I was using it after 7 day of abstinence."


"ONLY 25mg/day 2nd try. Lasted 3 days. Whoa just whoa! Within 1 hour my pain lessened but side effects were already producing. First my vision got really distorted. I couldn't focus on command at all. Then my bottom lip wouldn't stop tingling with a numb feeling. I got extremely dizzy, felt out of it. So I thought let me lay down. Feel asleep 15 min.. Woke up thought an hour passed was completely out of it. Whole left side of face felt palsy completely numb. Tingling/numbness arms, hands, legs + feet. Next day visual less but symptoms still there. Then the suicidal thoughts and worthlessness came. I made it one more day. Missed a day. And took following day. I can't do anything on it. Comatosed n psychiatric mind games. DONE!! I'm better w/o it"


"Worked very well for bladder control (hopefully. Not too well for those that develop too much flow restriction).
To beware of:
Dry mouth
Loss of interest in sex
Inability to have an erection"


"Have been through Klonopin, Xanax, Valium. I didn't care for the high feeling from any of these drugs. Librium has a way of mellowing me out without behaving differently. Great job of relieving my anxiety."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"ABSOLUTELY foul. Don't let these reviews fool you where they say it isn't that bad. I struggled with completing the first half of the gallon bc the taste is ATROCIOUS- very very salty and no, the Crystal Light Lemonaide doesn't help. All the science in the 21st century and nothing has come up that's better tasting or easier to get down? I'm LITERALLY awake after spending a tremendous amount if time in the bathroom pooping liquid that after all my efforts isn't CLEAR yet but the thought of drinking this next half makes me want to break into hives and a profuse sweat. Would I do this again? Heck no. If I God forbid get bowel related illness, then take me home sweet Jesus, bc I can NOT go through drinking this again."


"I posted throughout my 7 month experience. My breakouts never got better and I couldn't take it anymore. As soon as I quit, my face started healing and I'm back to maybe 2 pimples a month, verses 2 new pimples a day. I'm left with smooth red marks, that are slowly fading, and get covered with my makeup. On the other side, I knew when my cycles would start and the pill made me very mellow, which was great, but not worth not wanting to leave my house!"


"I was in remission with Arava and oral methotrexate for 7 years, but stopped taking methotrexate because I didn't think I needed it anymore and I was slightly nauseated every time I took it. It was a big mistake because my feet are a hot mess. I became totally out of remission with major shoulder/neck pain and fatigue. I recently added Otrexup, in additional taking Arava. After 2 weeks I was pain free and my energy level has returned. I am paying $179 per month for Otrexup and it's a hardship. I am planning to discuss with my doctor going back on oral methotrexate which is only $10 per month."


"I suffer from acute symptoms of psoriasis and Keibners phenomenon with severe itching. I also have asthma, coughing constantly. I'm newly diagnosed with psoriasis so I couldn't figure out what was going on with the severe itching and what was triggering my rashes. After seeing 5 other doctors, I went to an allergist and he suggested to take Zyrtec. I didn't think it would help but it really does. It doesn't cause me drowsiness but it wears off after 12 hrs and my itching from psoriasis comes back. My rheumatologist suggested to take one in the morning and one at night. It helps with the severe itching. It stops my coughing as well."


"I was put on Clomid for cycle days
5-9 not sure when I ovulated, now I'm 5 weeks pregnant after 1st round! This is my 2nd child my first was natural."


"I have been on Xanax for a few years due to my anxiety discover. This tablet which I only take a quarter of when it is necessary which doesn't happen very often has helped me sleep and calm down.

My sister has terminal cancer.

It also helped me go through tough events."


"I have Bipolar 2. I was diagnosed in 2009 but had suspicions long beforehand.  So was put on Prozac, Abilify. While I notice Prozac helping, especially when I don't have any and I begin having withdrawal, I've found that Lamictal really does the job! It's very subtle,  maybe because I'm on a very low dosage. Yet, I notice it. I'm more calmer. Not calm completely,  just calMER."


"After failing all other RA treatments, I was high-dose steroid dependent and running out of options.  I'll admit, the PML risk had scared me off from trying Rituxan sooner; however the increasing (and very real) risk of becoming non-functional scared me more.  I began infusions about 4 years ago. While most patients receive concomitant methotrexate therapy, I do not, due to liver damage from previous methotrexate use.  Rituxan has improved my quality of life physically, mentally, emotionally.  My advanced RA will never allow me to live "normally" but I am the best me I can be with this treatment.  Side effects are minimal for me; nausea for a few days after each infusion.  That's my story!"


"This medication does nothing for me. I still can't concentrate or remember much. I am taking 60mg(12ml) daily. I have read a lot of positive reviews for Dexedrine and will be asking for it."


"I have MS and experienced a severe relapse and spent a week in the hospital with chronic face pain. After determining it was Trigeminal neuralgia, my neurologist and I spent several weeks trying numerous treatments. Trileptal was the only one that gave me not only immediate relief, but I haven't had any face pain for months now!"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"It's three days after finishing the tenth day of taking Pylera. The first four days of taking the medication, I felt no side effects. On days five through ten, I was nauseous, dizzy, and had a headache, especially right after taking my daily doses. I took the medicine with a meal three times a day and with a light snack before bed. Stools also turned a dark greenish color and were often irregular throughout the day bordering on diarrhea. Also had a feeling of uneasiness, like a panic attack, right after taking the medicine on three occasions. I'll have to check with my doctor to confirm if the H. pylori has been eradicated and also wait a few weeks to see if my ulcers heal (which I've read can take from a few weeks to a few months)."


"Will never take it again worst experience in my life. Took it twice the first time rashes all over my back spend a lot of money going to the dermatologist. Second time  severe pain in the body specially in both legs still going to Dr  to try to solve the problems. On top of that lots of headache. Can't sleep at night with pain in my legs. No one should have to go through that much suffering to treat an illness. FDA should stop this drug on the market. Not recommended for anyone."


"Amazing stuff. After 1 pill I coughed up stuff that would scare Dr. House, but felt much better immediately. I will live with mild side effects considering that pneumonia can kill you or cause permanent damage. 3 doses left and I continue to practice breathing deeply and slowly. I'm grateful for medicines like these."


"I've been on this for about 8 months so far. I take 300mg at bed time. It helps with sleep, but I do feel a bit tired during the day. This has really reduced my mania. I used to argue with people until I was literally foaming at the mouth, but now I lose interest in arguments within 5 or 10 minutes. Twitter and news used to upset me and I'd get ampted up about stories, but that's gone away mostly. Now I can react to things that used to make me furious with a laugh or just a short discussion with someone. Seroquel's not perfect, but the weirdness and intensity I used to experience has gone. It also helps greatly with my IBSd. I haven't had any weight gain, but my diet is low-fat and limited. Seroquel is MUCH better than TCAs btw. Good luck!"


"Had sex on the 7th of August. Took Plan B about 23 hours after from the intercourse. Haven't gotten my period yet because I'm not supposed to be due until the 20th of August but a major side effect that I've been experiencing is a MAJOR amount of tiredness and exhaustion! When I got home from work the day after I took the pill, I went upstairs around 9pm to sleep and woke up the next day around 1pm. I wake up extremely exhausted and my feet start to get tired as well. Also I barely ever hungry anymore... I'm 18 years old so this is very unusual for a teen... Hopefully my period comes soon."


"I promised that I would give a review here if it works. So here I am. Condom broke during the time we were doing it, it was too thin for my bf I guess. The thing is i was ovulating that time. So I was really worried that id fall preggo, Took the pill after 10 hrs, felt too sensitive and bloated and I really thought it didnt work. But it came 5 days earlier. It doe make u feel paranoid though with its effects. Worry less for it delays ur period as well. Wheew! Thinking of having an IUD when bf comes back from vacation."


"Made a substantial difference in my quality of life. I get about 10 hours of pain free (angina) time per dose. I take a pill 2x daily and get almost full relief.  Only time I get some little pain now is after a full dinner and some exertion. Before Isosorbide any exertion caused pain."


"I was on Seroquel for a year. I was fat, no energy, restless leg syndrome and elevated glucose. Seroquel has too many serious side effects. "


"I had my Implanon inserted in August 2011. The procedure was absolutely painless, only bad result was the ugly bruise, but it went away. No scar and no need to remember taking it everyday, I love it! No bad side effects, it actually helped me lose a few pounds! Although I have had light bleeding for about 2 months now but it doesn't affect my relationship or sex drive. I'm as happy as I was before I got it. I'm anxious for the bleeding to stop completely but other than that it's GREAT!"


"I used to have moderate cystic acne - down my back, on my arms and of course all over my face. It was my greatest insecurity and the cause for my low self esteem. I would simply refuse to go outside without wearing layers of makeup first and would constantly pop my pimples in order to flatten them out and attempt to conceal them better with makeup- stupid, I know .
I have Accutane to thank for changing this about me. It has been my messiah. I won't claim to have picture perfect skin but after 8 months on this drug my skin is nothing like it used to be. Nowadays I don't wake up and pat my face for new breakouts , first thing in the morning filled with dread.

Of course it is important to take this drug responsibly and keep your Derm informed"
