"I use to get called "hydro" because my arms leaked water.  I tried hypercare without shaving my under arms or reading the directions and felt like it didn't help.  After reading the directions and shaving my arms so that the product could actually reach my skin I've had amazing results.  Life feels different, I can now wear any color tee-shirt. I can live without the fear that someone will touch my wet underarms, and I can wear expensive leather coats without ruining them.  This is the best product made and I wish I would have known about it 20 years earlier."


"This is for the Newbies out there. I started this medication when I was 15. Had my first seizure few days before before my 15th birthday. The first side effect you will experience is sleepiness, don't fight it. Let your body get a nap between 1-3, which I found to be the best time. I sleep for 1 hour and still can fall asleep at night. I am 21 now. Some advice to you, whenever you don't feel like eating I found that sweet tea gets me hungry, find that X factor in you. The weight loss is insane. I lost 40 pounds in 6 months just by breathing. Now, sleep patterns are important. If an average person needs 8 hours you and I need 9-10 MINIMUM also try to take the dose at the same time every day, you will fall asleep faster. Hang out to see sunrise."


"I've been on nuvaring for about 5 months and it was pretty good until i got a different partner. Initially I experienced some bleeding in the very beginning during hard sex, but now with a "bigger guy" I've blead quite a bit, and he says that he can totally feel it (and it doesn't feel the best). We tried having sex with out it and I didn't bleed, but still having to take something out before every time you have sex and being on a 3 hour time constraint per 24 hours is not that fun. It does have its pluses though, like you don't have to take the pill everyday. However also, explaining to a guy that he might feel something up there during foreplay is also not the funnest..."


"It works just fine without any side effects.  I've been on it for 4 years."


"Very good detailed information about this condition. I take Reglan for bloating and early feeling of fullness and it works. I also have diabetes so that contributes to my condition."


"A first time user, I took two little orange pills and experienced the worst abdominal pain, ever. I once terminated a colonoscopy that was underway on me with no anesthesia (long story), and this pain equaled that. My thanks to you fellow website contributors who gave me confidence to avoid the emergency room after searching on "Dulcolax cramps." The extreme pain lasted at least an hour; it subsided gradually over the next 5 hours. Have someone aware of what you're going through, and be safe about possibly passing out. I did not pass out. (Age 67/male.)"


"I used Zyban to quit smoking in 1999.  To me, it was a miracle drug.  I had smoked 1-1.5 packs/day for 33 years! What it does is change your brain chemistry to like you never smoked; consequently, you don't have any inclination to even want a cigarette!  I have never smoked since nor had any desire to.  If I had kept smoking, I probably wouldn't be alive to have my 72nd birthday next October (2015)."


"Over priced medications

Probably government sponsored at tax payers expense and then billed for profit....

Should be 5 bucks for 30 days."


"My doctor put me on Amaryl & it quickly lowered my readings.

My problem is that I have a SULFA allergy & now I'm broken out in a HORRIBLE RASH & the doc doesn't think it might be the Amaryl."


"The pain in my legs from the hips to the knee was excruciating. I thought I had bone cancer. This lasted for 2.5 weeks even after I stopped taking the med. Walking was almost impossible even with pain meds."


"I had pretty bad breakouts when I first started using this product, but now that I use it my face is so much clearer! Any time I'm having a breakout, I put some Epiduo on it at night and it's already better in the morning. The only bad thing with using this is it dries out your skin. So I have to use plenty of moisturizer! But it's great!"


"Received Kenalog injection in right thumb, for Osteoarthritis. I had side effects with Dr saying these were NOT related to the Kenalog Injection.
Dizziness, bloody nose, confusion, Migraines.
Dr. knew from my chart that I had Diabetes- Thyroid, AND PREVIOUS bad reaction with 'Prednsone'
Dr. told me before injection on the same day, "I've never heard of anyone being allergic to "Corticosteroids" I agreed then to Injection & suffered since 12/16/2015 with the adverse effects.  Grrrr! I'm female-77 years."


"Awoke with banging headache similar to a whisky hangover!Not good..."


"I started taking apri because I was trying to do fertility treatments. The first day I took it I was fine but I felt really warm after taking it. The second day I took it I still felt warm when taking it. I went to work and was very nauseous. I ended up vomiting all day while at work. I could barely stand up my stomach hurt so bad. So I quit taking it. My stomach hurt for 3 days after that. Now i am supposed to be ovulating and have seemed to come on my period again but a lighter color than usual and much lighter. But I was just on a week ago."


"This drug is horrible.
Pros: yes, it destroys your appetite and you lose weight bc of that. You also don't enjoy food, which made me less inclined to want to cook for others  (note: I am a foodie and love to cook).
Cons: This drug did zero for my migraines. I take Amerge; works!
I felt so foggy and "in and out" of ability the abilty to concentrate in the mornings (100mg nightly dosage). ok after 4 hrs.
My mouth was literally so dry and my tongue so thick feeling, I could not get 3 syllable words out. Also, I had to grasp for words. I was losing confidence in my own performance and others commented on my lack of "snap." This was after a YEAR!
Short term memory was shot, perhaps bc of "in and out" concentration. Hair! Had to get extensions!"


"Worked a little bit, was expecting more results, used cherry flavored and lemon flavors. Liked cherry, disliked lime."


"This was the biggest mistake of my life. My doctor and I thought it might help balance out my hormones and help my migraines. It did the opposite. I had migraines for days on end with no relief not even form sleep. My skin has been clear with the occasional pimple. My entire face is now covered with acne and my back. My period was more painful than ever the one time I had it on the shot. It caused back and hip pains. I also gained 25 pounds. I only got the shit once. it's been 5 months and I'm still waiting for it to leave my system completely."


"I began taking this pill in August 2015. I have since gained 15 pounds that I can not get rid of and for the past two months, I've had two periods a month. Needless to say, I called my doctor and asked to change. This pill was the worst I've ever taken."


"I have been suffering from Chronic Urticaria and Angioedema (Hives and Swelling of the face, lips, etc. ). I have been afraid to try this medication as I have heard about the side effects of steroids to the body. My recent flare has pushed me to the hospital and the doctor said I have to take this medication to get better. I am now on my 4th day and no signs of hives and swelling. I am under a 2 week intake plan and am crossing my fingers that this will be the answer I'm desperately looking for. Can't wait to be hive free!"


"To those of you who are having nightmares, they will go away. I had them so bad but it worked so well for the low back neuropathy I was finally able to walk again. My back kills me.  I take 30 MG throughout the day now.  Taking it with tramadol decreases the effectiveness of the drug.   Nortryptilline is a tricyclic antidepressant.  It blocks the receptors in the cerebellum so pain signals cannot be received.  This is not FDA approved because being an antidepressant when one is  it depressed can be very risky and cause serious side effects.  For those of you who are waking up on this medication, you could be low on serotonin and those that are falling asleep you could have too much.  It will also make you very constipated.  Be careful."


"I am 29 years old and I have had 3 jabs of the depo in the last year and a bit,

MY PRO'S:   No period pain every month. No babies ( three is enough for us ). No worries about tampons etc.

My CONS: headaches alot, Mood swings - am a little depressed and snappy at the kids, I don't want to get intimate with my poor husband at all, and my face is covered in acne (not really, but for me YES). I have gained weight!! (5kg) I was supposed to have my next jab in June this year and I didn't go for it and I still don't have my period 5 months later!!!

I think for me personally, It is no good."


"Been on Lutera 4 months now, and it's been good! Went to Planned Parenthood bc the wait for my gyno was 2 months and I didn't want to continue risking pregnancy....newlywed here! I was worried at first bc I had terrible side effects from other bc's (Depo made my hair fall out and Seasonique made me overly emotional and gave me sharp chest pains). I take this one at 10:30pm each night. Side effects for me: my boobs are larger and sore; I was a little crampy the first few weeks; I get moody around 6:30pm each night like clockwork (I'm guessing due to the hormone levels dropping in my body?) Skin and weight stayed the same. Periods are light, short, barely any cramps. No baby. Also, I still have my HAIR! Happy so far"


"Well, with what I have noticed with the Nuvaring is that I'm having HORRIBLE mood swings. I've been on birth control for years and I've had to switch at least 4 times now. I'm going to give this a try for the next month, but my relationship with my boyfriend of 3 years now is on the rocks because of my depression spells. I am tired and have no interest in anything it seems. I have taken this type before but it has been years and I don't remember my symptoms, I do enjoy not having to remember to take a small pill everyday, but I feel better when I'm not on any type of birth control. So like others said - this could be just my reaction and what it does to me- who knows."


"My son is 14 and has always been super sensitive to these meds- he was diagnosed at 6 ADHD. We started with concerta- he lost 11 lbs in 5 weeks. We switched to a slow release methylphenidate.  At Christmas, it was felt that maybe he needed something different- his last increase didn't seem to be helping. That's when we started vyvanse. I have seriously mixed feelings about this drug. There is some control of the hyperactivity component but he's grouchier, more argumentative and not really more productive. Is it age and adolescence?"


"I have found that taking this medicine for 3 years, it has helped me move mountains to help myself. I do experience very few side effects. Constipation is the only side effect I experience on a regular basis and with that said, I would much rather deal with a little constipation than still be buying pills off the street, and being unhealthy. I have recommended it to every person I know with drug addiction. The few that were ready to stop have also sang its praises to me and any one they recommended it to. Even with the word of mouth, it has helped so many people in my community. "


"I have only been taking this medicine for a week but I am 100% a totally different person! My husband has been as patient with me as humanly possible but I could see that my constant anxiety, depression and crazy up all night crying feeling like I was a person that couldn't be loved by anyone begging him to love me (he would just sit there and say I do love you baby with all my heart) but it was pushing him further and further away I am 23 and have been in emotional and mental hell since I can remember with sick and demented dreams. I have tried several different meds lexapro Wellbutrin seraquil xr Xanax Zoloft. I'm now on celxa and lamictal and I feel like a new person my Dr saved me my relationship, my life and my family!!"


"I just took the first 100mg pill a few hours ago and I feel different. I feel almost normal. I'm not thinking about being depressed and my energy is almost back to normal. No antidepressant, antipsychotic or mood stabilizer has ever done that! If this feeling keeps up or gets better, I don't know what I'll do. I'll probably cry tears of joy. Is this what normal people feel like?"


"In the past I have had serious problems when it comes to hormones after being on the pill for 3 months I developed anxiety and panic attacks, this was unusual considering I'm a public speaker and have had no problems with standing in front of a crowd. I had the copper coil inserted in March and I have read that the procedure should only take 2 mins really... I was unlucky by having a trainee nurse who took 4 attempts and who had actually left the job half done. I spent 4 hours in A&E last night trying to figure out why I was in so much agony. And as you do, I tried to to see if I could feel anything unusual... Surprise surprise the coil had dropped down and the wire was I fact 3cm away from the entrance of my vagina!"


"I am 30 started taking this due to excessive daydreaming and quite frankly not getting anything done. Could not focus for more than 10 minutes before a thought would come and get distracted by it. Apartment was in a mess. Priorities are all over the place. Wanted to do so many things and all at the same time. So I went to the doctor and left with a prescription for Concerta 18-27-36mg.I don't know if he had the right diagnosis but shit is getting done and everything is great. Less tired, less naps, did not take a nap since I started this. Now I'm at the 36mg step. Truth is the drug is only 10% of the solution. Once you know you can do something, you have to keep that mindset and go with it or else you will take this drug forever and ever."


"After having a sinus infection for three days, I went to the immediate care center: they recommended Mucinex D and a saline nasal wash.  I felt relief from the two combined methods that I started that morning. However, after taking the second dose of Mucinex D that night, I found that I only had a couple of hours of interrupted sleep. Now on my second night, while  the congestion is much better, I am still not sleepy - even after hardly sleeping the night before.  I checked the Internet and found this site - apparently  this is not uncommon. Tomorrow, I will only use it during the day and rely on the saline nasal wash more."


"I had the Implanon inserted after my Mirena fell out. It hurt a little bit to get it put in. I liked it for a little while but now it has moved further down in my arm. I have non stop bleeding and I have no desire to have sex. My arm goes numb every once in a while and is very tender and I cry over silly things. "


"I guess a bronchodilator was needed. This did nothing for me. Always needed my ProAir."


Mucinex Fast-Max Severe Congestion & Cough

"This medicine works great. I had mild diarreah as a side effect, but my annoying mucus cough was relieved."


"I got the implant on 7/10/2014 and have not had any bleeding since it was inserted. Moods have changed where I will be fine then feel like crying but other than that I have been 100%. I also have lost weight instead of gaining despite the constant sweet craving. I would recommend this as it has been a major benefit to me. I'm 19 and currently undergoing A2 exams and this has meant that I don't have to worry about cramps or periods throughout the exam time."


"Works great if you have flank pain from kidney stones/Polycystic Kidney Disease!"


"I'm 40 and have been having issues recently with erectile dysfunction and maintaining an erection.

My doctor prescribed Cialis and I feel 16 again.  I have been taking for 3 weeks - half of a 5 mg tablet every other day with no side effects.

Get an erection with no stimulation and it is rock hard like I'm a teenager.  I also wake up to a long lost friend - morning wood.

Don't wait any longer to ask your doctor - no reason to be embarrassed.  I thought I was too you to be having issues.  I wish I would have gone to the doctor earlier."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"I suffer from sleep apnea. Provigil really helps improve my focus and concentration. I only wish it had been available when I was a student in college! No telling what I could have accomplished!

"


"horrible taste, heartburn first time in life, abdominal pain like a knife twisting, hopefully infection is going away...still taking 150mg every 6 hrs. halfway through...would never take again...had infection in molar and a half ass dentist."


"I'm 30 years old and was recently diagnosed with PCOS. It will be 66 days till I got my next period and would last for over a month. So, my doctor prescribed medroxyprogesterone 30 pills to STOP the bleed! Took 3 pills a day till bleeding subsides and then 1 pill a day till finished! The bleeding stopped after 3 days, ok GREAT! Uh NoT after 4 days the bleeding returned worse then ever! I was passing quarter size blood clots every day! I was literally gushing out blood like a faucet! Since the bleeding returned it's been 15 days and still bleeding and I finished the dosage! These pills are awful! So disappointed! :("

"This is by far the worst birth control I have ever used. I'm not normally a moody person but nuvaring has effected my mood like no other. I either feel extremely happy, angry, or sad. There is no in between. These mood swings have caused several fights with my boyfriend. I finally had to take it out because I couldn't take it anymore. A day later, I finally felt like myself again. I would never recommend this to anybody. It's terrible."


"I have been fighting my doctors about Advair for about 4 years. About 1 year ago I got sick and I was using my Advair and I chose to stay on everyday. I was doing good then I stopped because I wanted to see if there was any difference, and oh my God, I realize a need Advair everyday. Moral of the story I take Advair everyday now and doing so much better."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have afib and have had multiple cardioversions, ablation, and antiarrythmic drugs and cannot stay in sinus rhythm.  I was on coumadin for a while but had large swings in INR despite frequent monitoring and no change in diet.  I have been on Eliquis for 3 years and have had no bleeding or side effects.  Other than the fact that it is expensive and must be dosed twice daily, I have no complaints whatsoever."


"Worked very well for me in controlling my symptoms, was on medication for more than 5 years. Recent lifestyle changes for the good had me reconsider the need for continuing the treatment and I began a gradual tapering down over several weeks. Other than morning headaches, which passed shortly after waking, I feel great and no longer take the medicine. I must stress that I made major lifestyle changes which were for the good and did a slow decrease over several weeks."


"I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and was prescribed Provigil, insurance denied coverage. Doctor then gave me samples of Nuvigil 150mg. WOW! what a difference, first couple of days a few heart racing minutes but then after that, it was great. Ran out so asked doctor to order at pharmacy, insurance denied again. When I take Nuvigil I can work all day and sleep just fine at night, instead of taking a 3 hour nap after school and then back to bed at 8PM. I have so much energy, I take it at lunch time, this way it won't wear off too soon.  I have skipped days to make samples last and there is definitely a difference in my quality of life. Actually  I HAVE A LIFE when I take Nuvigil."


"I have had fibromyalgia for 12 years and have been on high doses of morphine,durogesic patches, methadone, and many other narcotics. I am now on 225mg of lyrice twice a day and low doses of opana. I feel like a new person, never though it would every happen.  I feel like a did years ago and I am 63 now but am able to do most of the things I was able to to before the fibro hit me. I can"t work my old job as an RN but I can do most things. Some days are better than others but this is a great drug."


"I was not sure about taking this.     But. It works. It's the only med that has worked for.me.

Thanks

CM2015"


"Absolutely hate this pill. Was on nuvaring but co-pay was going up to 65bucks a month and I couldn't afford that! This pill makes me moody and little things bother me that shouldn't. I have no sex drive, breasts are tender and don't want to be touch. Unfortunately I have to wait out the month before switching to another pill. Definitely not a fan of this birth control."


"I've been taking the 10mg dose of Lexapro for 3 weeks. I'm actually quite impressed with the improvement I've seen so far, as I've heard you often need a solid 6 weeks to feel the effects. I no longer have this sense of dread when I wake up in the morning. I'm not "triggered" as easily either. Something so simple like dropping a pencil would result in depressive and suicidal thoughts for hours. Now I can brush most things off without an issue. Fatigue, VERY restless legs and vomiting were rough the first 2 weeks but have subsided now. No problems with weight gain, insomnia or nightmares/hallucinations. I still have some lingering anxiety and I'm hoping I'll get even more of a boost in my mood in the weeks to come, but so far so good."


"I've only gotten a year left on my implant and I like it. I did gain some weight, but I no longer have to buy tampons all the time, and my period was very irregular before and I never knew when it would come, but since I don't get a period anymore, I no longer have to worry about ruining my underwear or always carrying tampons with me. I also no longer have debilitating cramps since I don't menstruate"


"Absolutely horrible.  Took one at 2 o'clock in the morning from my mother to help me sleep. It knocked me out but I remember 15 minutes after I took it I started to feel very odd in my eyes would not relax. I woke up in the morning with extremely red bloodshot eyes and a extremely horrible painful headache  and I felt weak and dizzy. I have been laying in bed all day and my headache is still not gone and it is 10:39 PM. I do not recommend this medication."


"I had Botox treatments for my migraines for about a year and a half.  I was thrilled as it completely took away my migraines and I had no side effects.  I had my life back.  Then last August I went to get my regular 3 month injections at 4 p.m.  By  7 p.m. that evening I experiencing dizziness.  By the next day I had a severe headache, next pain, dizziness, trouble swallowing, pain in my shoulders, etc.  It was terrible.  My doctor told me he didn't think it was from the Boxtox, but that I probably caught a virus at the same time I got the shots.  Seriously?  Here I am, 3 months later, and I can hardly hold up my head.  I have headaches, shoulder pain, neck pain, pain and numbness going down my arms.  The dizziness has never gone away."


"I'm currently in college and from only a year being on this medicine I have seen a noticeable difference in my ability to focus. My grades have gone from almost all C's to almost all A's. Highly recommended!"


"Okay so as with most reviews I've read so far my experience with the liletta is very bad. I had my IUD placed Feb 19 2017 so currently on month 4 insertion was slightly painful and bled an extra week since it was placed on the last day of my period. Since  having it my period comes and last 17-20 days and will be heavy then if we have sex I begin spotting and have severe cramps even pain in certain areas. My dr ask me to at least give it 6 months for my body to adjust but at this point symptoms are not getting better at all so most likely going to have removed at month 6. This has been a major inconvenience and painful experience so far but on the plus side no pregnancy so far so at least its doing what its supposed to lmao"


"I stopped smoking with Chantix six months ago and I took it for three months. Chantix is a help not a miracle, but it will help you to quit smoking. You will still experience some mild cravings, but they are not intense at all. I reduced those with stop smoking subliminal sessions you could find in youtube. Chantix was covered 100 % by my health insurance, thanks for that and thanks to Pfizer. Side effects are not bad compared to smoking. Dreams were vivid and I enjoyed them. I do advice if you can't stand the side effects, reduce the dose or do a liver detox before taking the pill. Unless you are allergic (rash), if that your case you might need to wait for Pfizer to come with another drug. I hope you quit smoking like I did. Best luck."


"Desoxyn has opened doors to my life, heart, and mind that I thought would never be able to be opened and be shared with the world.  The side effects were little to none and other medicines side effects greatly outweighed the Desoxyn effects."


"I was suffering from migraine, 10 times a month on average during late 2014. I have been always suffering from Migraine for years, but it was more frequently than before. I consulted a doctor in Dubai, educated in Sweden and Canada, a very successful doctor. He prescribed Topamax, for 6 months. In 2 months, I ended up going into depression, first time in my life! I had to quit the medicine as I was travelling to UK, and forgot taking the medicine with me and they don't sell this without prescription. After quitting, depression gone. I thought this is coincidence. Until I saw the doctor again, again prescribed Topamax. Again, after 2 months - depression. Mood swings, almost suicidal thoughts - I quit, depression gone. NOT RECOMMENDED!!"


"I've had the Mirena inserted on Monday November 4th. So far so good. I thought it was going to hurt during insertion. To my surprise , when the doctor was done I didn't even realize it. No cramping so far and very little spotting. My Mirena was inserted after the last day of my period, I have it to help with heavy menstrual bleeding. I think the reason I don't have a lot of the complications that I have read that most women have is because my tubes are already tied, clipped and burnt. So far so good."


"I should have never put the skyla in.. I was on the Nuva ring for years and didn't like how I would have to keep changing it every month and that it kept slipping out. I was skeptical about the skyla.. but i decided to give it a try. I went into the doctors office and she was only measuring my cervix and I was screaming in pain.. so she gave me a shot in my cervix to numb me but it still really really hurt. Tried having sex 3 days later and he could feel my strings and hurt us. Went to get them cut & the dr. cut them too short. They couldn't find my strings so i got an ultra sound and it turns out I have a 5cm ovarian cyst from the skyla. Getting it taken out but they have to go in with a scope because the strings are too short to pull out."


"Two months and no change at all :("


"Omg I have been sick since day one of taking this shot I do not recommend to anyone! Unless you like to vomit and have diarrhea 24/7 BTW that's how you lose weight you can't eat or stay off the toilet.. No no no more shots for this lady"


"Thousands of  patients with neurogenic dysfunction of lower urinary tract was treated by me with Mandelamine 1g three times daily, for the past 20 years, with very good results and without any side effects. It decreased urinary infection in this group of patients by about 60 - 70 %."


"Check out the article entitled " The antidepressant drug best for sex". Phycology Today"


"This is a short acting symptom relief inhaler.  It is the most effective inhaler I have used for this purpose, and gives me significantly less cardiac side effects than albuterol."


"I would say I've had an overall good experience. I just took my last pill from my first pack. It was a little rocky at first. I did experience some unusal heavy bleeding that lasted about 10 days mid-way through the pack. But it has calmed down. I've had no mood swings or emotional/mental side effects. My weight is pretty much the same and I didn't get sick or have headaches. I'm just going to monitor the bleeding on my next pack of pill. I also have to see if my insurance will cover it. I got my first three pack from my obgyn as samples to see if I like it. I'm going to continue using it and I'll update you guys in 28 days lol. I hope this helped someone."


"I take 10mg for just 14 days before I get my period.  It definitely helps with my mood and uncontrollable anger.  Before taking this, the silliest things would make me want to scream!  When my husband asked me why I take it, I tell him that I take it in order to extend HIS life expectancy :-)  Enough Said?  Only down side:  Insomnia.  Worth it though."


"My joint pain in hand and feet are all gone . The only side affect I have is a tension headache every evening about the same time, it a good drug I am please with it, going to give it a other month or two to see if tension headache goes away it always on the right side on the back of the head.  It help to hear other people side effect to see if any other people have the same effects."


"I have had a few bouts with diverticulitis close together and was prescribed Cipro and Flagyl both strong antibiotics. When trying to take both at the same time I felt very sick, and nausea.
I went online to read more about each of these meds. Someone with experience suggested taken them an hour apart and when taking Flagyl take it in a spoon of applesauce because it leaves a bitter taste if it touches any part of the inside of your mouth.  Put it in the back of mouth w/ applesauce and swallow with lots of water. Also DO NOT Take your Cipro with milk or yoghurt it tells you on you med info on bottle and paper info. The last time the prescription for Flagyl was dbled from 250 mg to 500 mg and it made me throw it up. "


"The first few years, I didn't puff Spiriva daily, and I didn't think it worked. As my COPD got worse I used it daily. It took about 1 month to work, but it really helps."


"Ok here is an update .. I am into the last 2 days of the first 30 days on Qsymia 3.75-23mg  I was 233 and now down to 215 I have more energy and did change my eating habits and I am exercising more this medication does curb your appetite and you do not really crave sweets which was a problem for me ..  the dr was excited to see the results I just saw him and I went down 1 point on the BMI scale and he has upped the dose to the next level .. I shall report back to see if there are any side effects with the higher dose ..  in reference to the cost my deductible was up to 200 then after that I pay only my copay which is 50.00 a month there are websites that offer coupons for this med so please do some research like it did I got 2 weeks free"


"I stopped taking Gianvi two months ago and wow was that a mistake. The first period I had was absolutely horrible. It was super heavy, lasted a long time, and my cramps were really bad. It has really messed up my hormones as well. I get so mad very easily and I feel like a crazy person with emotions that I'm feeling that I never felt before. My breasts shrank a lot and my acne has come back. SO I started taking Gianvi again a few days ago so I can get back on track to normalness! I don't want to wait for my body to adjust without it. "


"I started smoking August 28 1983, tried to quit several times. Took Chantix for 3 weeks haven't had the thought or care for a smoke since February 14 2014."


"I recently started this medication for my ic , the side effects startrd right away . Fatigue, headaches,  severe pain in my lower stomach almost like constipation pains sharp and intense  this would happen about 20-30 mins after taking the medication and the pain would last a few hours before easing up, just in time to take the next dose , pain behind my eyes and the hair on the top of my head stated to hurt ... i stopped taking the medication days later .. I plan on going back to the doctor to find something else."


"Hey!

I started taking Yaz over a year ago for birth control and partially for mild acne, I do think it helped my acne and it was an extremely reliable birth control but I fell into a serious state of depression that led to a hospitalization. I think it's great for skin and birth control, but definitely ask your doctor about depression!"


"Generic clonazepam isn't as effective as Klonopin. The generic doesn't work as fast to stop a panic attack."


"I had Mirena inserted in 2011 due to endometriosis, which is aggravated by estrogen so an IUD was the way to go at the time. Did not have any problems whatsoever. No weight gain or skin problems. Absolutely nothing. My 5 years with Mirena ended. I had Liletta inserted July 2016 only b/c my doctor suggested it. BIG MISTAKE! I have gained almost 30 lbs. I work out, watch what I eat and any other thing you can think of to lose weight. I'm STILL gaining & I now have really bad acid reflux because of it! It reminds me off the Depo experience I had years ago. On top of the extreme weight gain, my skin looks like I'm going through puberty. Heck my skin wasn't this bad during puberty! Not to mention the never ending cramps!  Got to get it out ASAP!"


"I was prescribed Terbanifine by my GP. I have had severe toenail fungus on nearly all of my toenails, and dry cracked heels for 10 years. I was told that you only need to take this drug for 3 months and  then wait for the nails to grow out, I was extremely sceptical at first as although my heels cleared quickly my nails were still awful.  But 3 months after stopping this medication the improvement is obvious and I am looking forward to wearing sandals and strappy shoes this summer. You must only take this on prescription and for a short time, and most important be patient! I had no side effects."


"Caused severe heart palpitations. Resting heart rate at a constant 155 bpm. After being taken off by doctor did notice it helped amazing with my fibromyalgia pain. I actually forgot for a few weeks about my constant pain. Since being off it pain is back. Wish I didn't have the side effects."


"I was diagnosed Bipolar I with OCD When i was 14. I am now 38 and a mother of 3. I have been taking Equatro/Tegratol XR (carbamazepine) for 3 years now. I also take it with a mild antidepressant. I think on its own, the carbamazepine worked ok, but I found myself still depressed. No more rage or bursts of anger, but zombie like. As soon as my doctor introduced the antidepressant into my regimen, I feel wonderful!!! I take 600 MG a day total of the carbamazepine XR. 1 tablet in the am and 2 before bed. My morbid thoughts have stopped, suicidal tendency went away almost completely.  My moods are elevated and stable now. I am able to enjoy life now."


"Horrible drug.  Felt like a zombie for about 14 hours after taking 1/2 a 25mg capsule.  Never again."


"This medicine made me really suicidal and depressed. I was wrought with paranoid thinking, dark depression, and a host of physical side effects.  I have been coming off of it and I'm feeling my mood improve.  Things are seeming brighter again.  I had speech problems while on this, I had a hard time working out, my eyes felt so sensitive to sunlight, and my head felt really weird, especially in the morning.  I cannot believe I took it for so long.  I didn't know that what I was going through was related to this medicine.  It was awful for me."


"I have had cold sores since I have been a child. I would get them about every six weeks. I would treat them as soon as,I felt the the tingle.. A year ago I was getting tests done in preparation for a trip to Germany.. I had a fever blister. Dr prescribed Valtrex.. I took one pill for two days... I have not had another break out in over a year..miracle for me."


"Symbax is like gold It has done wonders for my bipolar I can sleep at night with no racing thoughts my manic episodes no longer happen my depression is gone and my anxiety level is down I don't have that constant worry in my every day life that I use to have it keeps me level headed"


"I love Mirena. I had it put in about a month or so ago and I have not had any problems with it. There has been some mild spotting maybe 2 times a week and only in the morning and it only lasts for about an hour. I have an increased libido, and it is nice to not have to remember to take a pill every single night. I work at an OBGYN clinic as a medical assistant and I would say that it is one of our top birth controls prescribed. We put a Mirena in our patients at least 2 times a week. I love it. It is amazing."


"It didnt seem to help me"


"I am on day 3 of the plan. I kinda feel a little different. My cravings are not as intense for food or nicotine. No real side effects other than feeling tired in the afternoon. After reading some of the reviews, I was a little worried, but , I'm going for stick with it. I will check in next week"


"Had a colonoscopy with propofol. I went out quickly and didn't experience any problems during the exam. But afterwards,  in recovery I felt drowsy and unbalanced when asked to get up to get dressed. It seems like you are forced to leave recovery too fast. Finally, I was able to walk to the car. Once we arrived home I had severe nausea and I felt like vomiting.  I wasn't able to get out of the car. We called the doctor. He told me to stay reclined in the car and do not eat or drink anything. The good thing is I was in my garage away from the cold rain. After 2 hours I was able to go into the house. Called doctor back. He informed me I had a reaction to the "new drug" aka Propofol. Other effects:Chills, sleepy, tired. NEVER again!!!"


"I was 17 when I used apri 21 .now 20 ..It releived my irregular periods BUT I also got multiple blood clots in the lungs and are now infertile this medication nearly killed me this shouldn't be sold"


"Started on .75 initially for two weeks, then upped to 1.5.  After a week at 1.5 dosage, began getting severe acid reflux.  I did loose about 10 lbs. but I woke up several times choking on stomac acid, got so bad it was in my lungs.  Great.  Lowers A1C but at the risk of choking to death in my sleep.  Trulicity sucks.  AT this point I'm taking Lantus and novolog, still can't get AM before breakfast numbers and after meal numbers anywhere near goal.  I'm beyond frustrated.  About ready to chuck the whole program and just take my chances.  The alleged cure seems worse than the disease!"

"After moving into a new home, secretly harboring mold, my asthma became uncontrollable. I was using several inhalers, prednisone, allergy medicines, nebulizers, etc. I gained 20 pounds because I was unable to function and do anything.
My doctor (my angel) did allergy testing and started me on Xolair and allergy shots. Within 3 weeks I was down to using only Advair and occasionally Proventil. It really is an amazing drug, and it has been my saving grace. I can play with my kids, run, ride bikes, hike, etc. I have been on Xolair now for almost 6 months. I take the maximum dose of 3(150) injections every other week, with 3 allergy shots weekly. I feel amazing! I even walk a mile each way to the doctor to get my shots! I highly recommend it!"


"I have been battling with depression for years and recently hit a plateau while taking Prozac. Not just with my depression but with my weight as well. I did some research online about Wellbutrin, read many reviews and decided to ask my doctor for a prescription. It was the best decision I could have made. I feel so much better not just mentally but physically. I have finally been able to lose weight again and feel good about my life. I am not sure about others but my side effects were a small headache and a little anxiety to begin with but it subsided within 2 weeks. I will never switch to anything else."


"infusion #2 and my joint pain and swelling went down almost immediately. I think I have finally FINALLY found the answer for me!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"My poor 9 year old son has had 4 colonoscopy's already and he didn't even complain like this at the age of 2! Anyway,  this was my first time and I have to disagree with the majority of reviews.  The taste is really not that bad!  I mean it's not something I would consume as a drink next to my dinner plate,  but  my goodness people.  I was able to chug it in seconds.  I then downed two bottles of water as instructed.  I had a horrible full bloated feeling for about three hours until the bomb exploded.  I'm in here as I type.  Not a pleasant experience... But compared to what I've seen my poor son go through, this easily deserves a 10!  It does what it needs to do and the taste is bearable."


"I was on Apri for a while and had no problems with it but early this year I had a problem with my periods and was possibly diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) but my OBGYN disagreed, however she switched my birth control to the Low-Ogesterel 28. My period is super light and very short. I'm a model/body builder and have had no acne/weight gain which is very important for me. And still maintain a high libido. LOVE it. Almost afraid to switch. Would only switch to get less periods a year. However my period was replaced with a brown discharge which was concerning but got it confirmed as normal."


"So my first experience was just on the cosmetic side and it helped with my migraines beautifully! My forehead looked amazing, and my migraines had been reduced. However I still felt the onset of them in my neck and shoulders. So upon talking to my neurologist, he said since I benefitted from the cosmetic one, I should try the actual one for migraines. Its been four days and I'm so sore and like other people have said AVOID getting the neck injections!!! I can hardly hold my head up and I wake with neck and shoulder pain. I'm bruised on my shoulders and it's swollen. Now I'm just in overall pain. The neck weakness is horrible it's weird to think holding your head up is hard."


"I am really an odd duck on this site!  I had no stomach problems what so ever when I began taking Dexilant. I had been diagnosed with RA and were starting the RA regiment of drugs. My doc thought it might be wise to put a layer between those drugs and my stomach lining. All went along fine until we changed insurance companies and the new one would not pay for Dexilant. Now I have problems. At first my doc wrote to the insurance company to appeal their decision about Dexilant. While we waited he kept giving me samples to hold me over. Now out, nausea horrible. Test after test reveals nothing. Thanks"


"No matter what medication I take I only sleep between 4 - 6 hours before waking.  After trying Silenor, I tossed and turned all night, waking up every few hours and felt a bit nauseous in the morning.  I was so hopeful by all the good reviews on here, I figured I'd give it a shot.  "


"I have had this implant for seven months now and I have not had a single full period which is really awesome. I spot every few months or so. I feel spoiled.

The only negative thing is a possibly weight gain but I'm not sure if that's the nexplanon or just recovery from anorexia."


"I was addicted to cocaine and then pain killers for almost 6 years. I spent that entire time hating myself, trying to kick, going through horrible withdrawals and then relapsing over and over again.  I stole money from my father, I stole his drugs, I lied, all I cared about for 6 of those 8 years was finding more and more painkillers. Then one day I was at a doctors office trying to get more drugs and saw a handout that described Suboxone. I made an appointment to see that doctor.  That was 3 years ago, since that day I haven't looked back! I take 2.5 8mg tablets a day and finally live a normal life.  This IS a miracle drug, if you are addicted and think you life is ruined THINK again. Find a Dr. who can help you NOW. It will save your life"


"My 4 1/2 year old started taking this when he was 2 for a severe dust mite allergy.  He takes the maximum dose for his weight.  It does help tremendously.  If he misses a dose, his skin breaks out in a rash.  Unfortunately for him, it has the opposite effect than it does with most people.  It causes hyperactivity and insomnia."


"After more than a year of taking a pill every day I was tired of it so my Doctor suggested the ring. I am currently on my second month and it seems to be working fine. I'm actively trying to lose the rest of my baby weight and it hasn't hindered me in the slightest. It has decreased my sex drive, but that's okay for me. My husband has a high stress job and we don't have sex very often anyway. It actually helps that I'm not as aroused. Two reasons that I didn't give it a 10. 1: It's EXPENSIVE. One ring is almost $70. 2: I vomit uncontrollably on the second day. (Is that normal?) I'm fine the rest of the month."


"I started taking this when I was having difficulties with coping with my anxiety. The doctor who I am not visiting anymore put me on this but asked me a few questions before I consumed I. This was helpful but then ever since I have been on sertraline 150 mg I feel more anxiety and then at another point I don't. I was having a few problems with friendship but this has made me cope much better and to feel more relaxed when communicating with other people. My dosage was increased very quickly and I felt like I needed to be higher up with the dosage as my anxiety was severe. I have had dry mouth and a few withdrawal symptoms. I also have to keep drinking water."


"My MD put me on Cozaar for my hypertension and rapid pulse. I also take Verapamil. I have a condition called Marfan's Syndrome and Doctor hopes this medicine will help prevent any further dilation of my aorta. I had to go off the hydrochlorothiazide and now have a lot of edema in my legs to above my knees so started on Lasix today also. But it's worth using in order to protect my blood vessels."


"Wonder and reconcile pill, being using it for 2 years I am extremely satisfied. Advised it to my divorced friend to see his doctor, he started using the pills (10 mg) with sporadic women who knew his wife. Those women start spreading news about his sex performance. Then the ex-wife decided to reconcile and live with the ex-husband. Wonderful and life restoration pills. Guys, contact your doctor, life is so beautiful with having satisfied sex."


"I was on about one 60mg a day of Oxycodone for about 2 years.  Tried going cold turkey about 1 month ago and it was horrible. Had to get back on at least one 40mg of Oxycodone per day. I was given 5 8mg Suboxone pills and after about 12 hours after the last Oxycodone dosage, I started withdrawing so I took the first Suboxone pill entirely.  Amazing how the withdrawal went away after a few minutes.  Since then I've taken half a pill a day.  I'm on the third day so I have 2 and a half Suboxone pills, but I doubt I will take them all.  I will stop taking them now and only take more if, and only if, I get any withdrawal symptoms.  This is amazing, life-saving stuff."


"I crashed a motorcycle almost ten years ago at 80 mph. I am lucky to be alive and walking. I have tons back problems now though. The doctors fed me high doses of every narco out there. I became addicted to the feeling of being painfree, no matter how many pills I had to take. Life got unmanagable and I was tired of it. After ten years of this I decided to start from scratch and clean up and get re-evaluated and try a different path. I was put on suboxone 8mg for about 8 months to treat the addiction. After that I had no desire to put a pill in my mouth. SUBOXONE WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. Just taking Opana ER 30mg twice a day now."

"DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE.  I had one shot of invega two years ago. I have quit my jobs, dropped out of school, and hate myself.  I now suffer irregular muscle movements, inability to resensitize(process new information), hypertension, and slow metabolism.  Don't take this medication. Don't take this medication. Don't take this medication.

Do not take this medication.

If you don't believe me then search keep searching invega sustenna reviews.

Thousands of negative reviews."


"Have suffered sinus infections for years, particularly in Spring and early Summer. This is the only antibiotic that really works for me. Initially the doctors prescribed weaker antibiotics. I have never noticed any side effects whatsoever.  Great drug.  I have four friends who take it for sinus infections and they also swear by it. No problems whatsoever."


"I have been on trintellix for over 6 months. I also had stomach issues with this medicine. I took a lot of Zofran along with the medication so I wouldn’t throw up. Once I got through about 3 months, I was able to take the 20mg trintellix tablet with my dinner. I noticed that the samples from the Drs office made me extremely sick versus my pharmacy, might have something to do with the brand of medicine because I do not believe this is generic at this time. It has helped my depression. My anxiety comes and goes in waves but I have a lot in my life right now that is worrisome. I also take namenda to help with chronic pain, that seemed to help also, neurotin, xanax, remeron, zenzadi, vistaril, and ambien."


"The only diet pill other than Phen-Fen that ever worked."


"I have been an opiate addict since I was 18 and I am now 31. While having gone through opiate withdrawal  at least once.  The clonidine is and has been the only thing that makes my symptoms practically  none existent. I can firmly with out any hesitation say it works. I was very skeptic but it proved me so wrong. I am now on my 5th day into withdrawing and haven't had cold sweats, nausea, loss of appetite nor any other symptoms .
I can say this is going to be the beginning to a sober life so if you're scared to go threw withdrawal just see a doctor and ask for because it works almost 100%"


"Have been on contrave for nine months now and have lost 72 lbs. weight loss is slower now but I am still losing. Only side effects have been constipation and dry mouth but both have been tolerable"


"Lamotrigine has worked for me, I'm bipolar 2 and other meds have been ineffective.  I have been on 100mg a day for three years with a break for pregnancy.  I have had spots at the times of dose increases and headaches when I have forgotten to take it. I do occasionally up my dose for a few days if I'm feeling down, this seems to stop a depressive episode from developing. After a few days I drop the dose down again and seem to go on as before. Overall I feel normal and would be lost without this medicine."


"I've had Nexplanon since October 2013 and so far its been alright. The insertion was painless but my only concern is the bleeding and discharge. A week or two after having it inserted I spotted and discharged on and off which was really annoying being that I have a high sex drive and I'm not the type to have sex while I'm discharging or on my period. I just recently started my first full period this week so hopefully once it pass everything will get back to normal! Other than that I love it and I would still recommend it to anyone."


"I'm on night 2 of 7.

It has worked great so far and I even noticed significant improvement by this morning.

It's a little messy, but definitely worth it!

Highly recommend this product."


"I have been on Prozac for only 6 days. I noticed a mild improvement where my depression episodes weren't so severe. The thoughts of suicide are subsiding, but I'm beginning to feel a bit absent minded. There are times of the day that I feel very tired or sleepy, but I don't feel like crying or over reacting for everything. My doctor said that the level needs to build up in my system.  I hope I keep feeling better and the blah feeling improves. Decreased libido? I didn't have much to begin with. I noticed no change."


"These drops were not very effective with my itchy red eyes. "


"Have been on Xarelto for 2 1/2 yrs after pulmonary embolism.  First 20mg, then 15mg, now 10 mg.

Have experienced a lot of negative side effects.  Muscle and skeletal pain, intense burning pain in legs and other parts of body.  Limits my movement tremendously and has had a very negative effect on my lifestyle.  Am in pain everyday even with pain killers.

If I stop Xarelto for a few days feel a lot better and am able to walk without little pain.  My doctor says it's my imagination. That pain is not coming from Xarelto!  Frustrating."


"This medication worked perfectly. No side effects and it really helped with my anxiety and dystonia. This medication helped my sex life as I was more relaxed, and really helped me socially, as I was no longer anxious in social situations. Clonazepam stopped they dystonic movements completely and they have not returned. I would highly recommend this drug."


"This has made such a difference to my life. It is like the "voice" that continues to tell me I am too fat and that all the "bad" things in life would be better if only I were thinner, has weakened. It is still there but I don't have to listen, if fact I can even ignore it. What a relief. It has made me realize just how much time I was spending listening to all the negative thoughts, planning the food, covering up the vomiting. I finally feel "normal" what a relief."


"I get cold sores frequently in fall and winter. Denavir is wonderful! When I use it at the first sign, sometimes it doesn't even develop into a cold sore.  I always keep this on hand."


"I've used this product before and have never had an issue and now it's unbearable itching and burning and we're going on about 5 hours of it being in there. I have already had one shower trying to rinse it out and I'm about to try a second time. This hurts worse than it did without treatment. I went from no odor to now an iron/ blood smell. I honestly didn't have that bad of an infection. I will never buy this product again."


"I was given this medication while I was in the ER with food poisoning. It made me feel like I was crawling out of my skin with anxiety. It was like having the worst panic attack ever that I couldn't escape.... My heart was racing and I felt like I was going to die. The nurse came in and gave me some Benadryl, saying that reaction sometimes occurs with that medication. It made me go to sleep and it was such a relief."


"My 82 year old dad went on this med to slow the memory loss.  It did seem to help that but we have had uncharacteristic behavioral issues where he can't keep his hands off the ladies.  So much that it is a problem in the assisted living memory care unit  he lives in and now he has to go to a behavioral place to change his Medicene.  Sheeeesh!"


"Taking 10mg daily. Controls blood pressure to normal level. Only side effect experienced is swelling in ankles. Brisk walk for 1/2 hour daily reduces the swelling."


"Dr. Prescribed several antidepressants before trying Viibryd. Major difference once I was in a routine. Took care of about 90% of my depression/anxiety. Been on it for four plus years."


"My son had been on Adderall XR (25mg) for well over 6 years and it has really worked well for him. I would say the only side effect that was difficult to deal with was the lack of appetite.  However, after hitting the teenage years it has fallen back  into normal teenage young man trying to eat everything lol. On a very good note: my son finished his 8 th grade year with A's & B's as well as a 3.4 GPA and is now looking forward to attending high school in the fall."


"I have had Nexplanon for about 6 weeks now. I was pregnant for 6 weeks before I got the implant and the slight mood swings are nothing compared to my awful pregnancy hormones. Most of my occasional moodiness can be blamed on my demanding job and sleep deprivation. I have not had a normal period since insertion of implant, except for 2 spotting days. I live an active, healthy lifestyle and have actually lost a few pounds in 6 weeks. I am also vigilant about taking a shower everyday and washing my face twice a day, so I have not noticed any changes in my skin."


"I was on Otho-Tricyclen for about 8-9 years and I had no acne problems.  However, when I stopped Otho-Tricyclen at 28, my acne was terrible.  I had painful cysts on my cheeks and forehead.  I tried Solodyn and it worked for a while, however it was NOT very effective for an extended period of time."


"Have used once or twice a year for last 10 years and start to have relief within 24 hours with symptoms usually gone by day three.  I take two a day after first tinge of pain (you know what I am talking about) and continue for one week minimum or two days more than symptoms persist.  Makes me a little fatigued and I start to get diarrhea after about 4 days but it is worth it."


"This review site is just a bunch of people fear mongering. Saying that you have hormonal side effects after switching from the pill, and blaming it all on the copper IUD, is uninformed. All the horrible reviews almost scared me out of getting the Paragard, but I'm so happy I did it. It did hurt really, really bad going in, but it was so worth it. Every woman is different, and things affect us differently. Try it for yourself, and don't let all the negativity here scare you. You can always have it removed."


"I have been on lexapro for a week and it's been a ride. I have had horrible side effects from the start. Really bad headaches, night sweats, frequent suicidal thoughts. It has had an opposite effect on me. My depression/anxiety are worse. I sleep way too much. I also have experienced loss of appetite while a lot of people gain weight. I've lost 9 pounds in a week, which is really weird because my weight has been the same for years. I never really gain or lose so I know it's the medicines. I'm hoping that all the bad side effects will pass. I don't want to give up on the drug yet. I'm going to at least try and stick it out for a month."


"What a nightmare.  I even got lock-jaw symptoms."


"Taking 0.4mg x 1 daily in the evening. Started two weeks ago. Doctor took me off Hytrin (terazosin 10mg).  After two weeks my flow is less than on Hytrin.  My frequency and urge to pee is higher than on Hytrin. My volume of output is less. This is the second time a doctor took me off Hytrin to put me on a "better", newer, drug. In both cases these other medicines didn't work as well as Hytrin. Will continue the Flomax for one more week just in case it has something to do with building up in blood levels."


"Diagnosed with mild hypothyroid a month ago. Started feeling great, but also started getting a rash all over my upper thigh, it isn't itchy or red. It's just raised like poisin oak rash. Waiting to see if it is truly the Armour causing the rash. I haven't seen many people with this side effect. I would hate to stop it (30 mg)."


"Dosage: 1 x 30mg pill.  Positives: Clearer thought processes, less sadness and fatigue.  Negatives: Felt loopy "high", talked excessively/rapidly, extremities "felt" cold but actual temperature was normal/warm, skin "felt" like it was rubbed off - very sensitive, intermittent/uncontrollable muscle spasms, insomnia, sweating.  Refused to take another pill.  Side effects lasted 48 and more hours."


"I am a 40yo female and took this drug for 3 mos for undesired weight gain as a side effect of another medication. I  lost only 3 lbs and the entire time it was up/down lose 3 lbs gain 3 lbs. I stopped taking this medicine because it does not work. I exercise daily and watch my diet and the results are no different than if you don't do anything differently. Side effects at first were nausea and headache but they subsided. Maybe this drug works if the reason for your weight gain is excess caloric intake and/or lack of exercise but it doesn't help you lose weight when you're already trying to and nothing is working. Also the $ is conflicting. My first prescription was the price it should've been if you have insurance thereafter it was 3x cost."


"DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!! My vagina is on fire and itches and burns SO much worse than it did with my mild yeast infection. Worst decision. Feels like an allergic reaction"


"I decided to try out Yasmin in the hopes that it would help clear my skin. For a long time I had suffered from hormonal acne primarily along my jawline and my doctor thought that Yasmin might be a good solution for me. It took exactly 3 months on the pill for my hormones to stabilize but since then my skin looks great.

I've been on the pill for 7 months now and I never get breakouts anymore, it has really boosted my confidence. I've also been lucky in that I haven't really noticed any side effects. I've gotten slightly bigger boobs, but that's about it. For me, Yasmin is the best.

And for everybody out there who's trying it out - be patient, it takes a while for the hormones to stabilize but when it happens the result is wonderful."


"I could accept things better."


"I have had the nexplanon for 6 months now and I love it! I barely have periods and when I do they are normal. I also have not had no major side affects besides when I first got it my arm itched a Lil bit."


"I'm getting married in 3 months and did not want to get pregnant before the wedding. Usually I do family planning for birth control and that has worked out great. But me and my fiancé have been having unprotected sex a lot so I decided to go on the pill until the wedding. I started Sunday and it has been a NIGHTMARE! I started crying about the smallest things, which is so abnormal for me. I have never been the emotional type. This began on Day 3. By day 5, I was truly depressed and yelling at my fiancé because he fell asleep before I made it back from the store to help me with my bags. Day 6 is when I came to the realization and started reading about the side effects. For such a small pill, it does a lot of damage. Please do not take this."


"I am taking 900mg of lithium for bipolar and Seroquel. I was on 600mg and it made me gain 20 pounds in 3 weeks so I got off also due to high cholesterol. and I was put on Latuda last week. I threw up the 1st two days taking it and it was hell but now I'm used to it and feel calm and sleep better. So far so good. Stopped gaining and now I don't care to eat as much. GREAT."


"Took a plan b about 1 hour after unprotected sex. About 15 minutes after taking it I had cramps not sure if it had anything to do with the pill. I read reviews about how women said that after taking plan b their periods changed drastically and they bled heavier and for more days. Usually my periods last 4 days and I'm a light bleeder. I got my period last week and nothing changed. Very positive experience for me."


"I have the paragaurd for 4 and half years.

I never had any problems.   I did end up getting pregnant on it.  I would say change it out every 4 years."


"I am 58 and erections are sometimes slow or fading. I have experimented with dosages and have found that less actually works better than more. At 50 mg, quite rigid but also insensitive, at 12.5 mg same rigidity but far more sensitive to the touch. Lasts into the next day and no side effects at low dose. I use the generic which is quite cheaper and does the same job."


"I started Adipex back in 2011 and within 5 months I was down 40lbs, looked and felt amazing. I'm 5'11", male and started at 250lbs, At the peak of Adipex working I got down to 175lbs with minimal working out but I worked at a job on my feet all day and active. In 2012 I left my active job for a desk job and stopped smoking... I gained around 20lbs... unfair but understandable. I was then told by my doctor that she wanted to take me off of it because I had plateaued and she didn't think it was working... 2 years later and I'm up to 265lbs, and miserable. I've started Adipex again but it doesn't appear to be working... I'm drastically less active but I'm seeing no change. Great for short time... but it will catch up when you stop."


"I got the Depo shot in October 2014.
It is now February 2015 and I have been either spotting or full on bleeding since then. I can't have sex because I start to bleed as if my period just started. I've been on and off the Depo for 4 years and this is the first time I've had a bad experience with it. I also gained 25 pounds since October, but I eat healthy and go to the gym regularly."


"I've been on this pill for 6 months, I have lost my sex drive, my cramps are worse then normal, my period last a full week, and I have worse acne then normal. I am changing my b/c at my next doctors visit!"


"I took Accutane for my acne, a dermatologist prescribed it to me. I took it for about a year to a year and a half. My dermatologist promised me it would get rid of my acne forever. Here I am a year or two later and am breaking out worse than I was before Accutane. "


"I have the Implanon, an I'm seriously thinking about removing it. The birth control part WORKS but what I've been going through to prevent pregnancy is awful.

My mood swings are often and more stressful than before, I'm never in the mood to have sex, I could go without it forever, is how I feel. I get the inflammation issue down there as well. My periods are spuratic and heavy or light but never consistent. I also haven't been able to loose my baby weight since I've been on this. The other times I was able to shed the weight no problem.

I miss the Patch!"


"Honestly, I was skeptical of this product at first because I couldn't seem to find something that would deal with my cystic pimples (I am 31).

The product works on my skin, but it took at least 3 months to see results. Since then, I have not had any cystic acne since. I use it in the morning and at night. I also use Retin-A at night. I only wash my face 1x a day to avoid killing my good bacteria and this actually helped my acne improve too. The product is so worth it, but be patient and give it at least 3 months before deciding if it works or not."


"I took a full week of Amoxil for bronchitis, with not much relief.  I am now taking another antibiotic."


"Love/hate relationship with the nexplanon it's so convenient & easy but it has caused me to bleed for a year straight & mostly heavy bleeding, going to the gyno for the 4th time since having it tomorrow to sadly get it removed, I've had stuff prescribed to stop the bleeding but it only takes affect for a week & comes back. I've lost 10-15 pounds while on nexplanon which is a plus. Everyone reacts different & this birth control would be so perfect for me if I would stop bleeding!!!!"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"F, 26, 150 lbs. Was given Prepopik because I had issues keeping down the normal prep. Was given three packets of miralax and the prepotik kit. I didn't have to start until 6pm the before the colonoscopy, so I was able to work the day before - first perk right off the bat. I took the miralax packets, one each morning, the three days leading to my prep. My stool was already soft by the time prep day came, which helped. Got home from work at 5:30 and started. I was going to the bathroom 30 minutes to an hour after. No intense cramps or discomfort, just the urge to run to the bathroom lol. Woke up at 4:30am to finish second half. The Dr performed the colonoscopy later that day with no issues. Love this product, worked great for me!"


"I've recently been diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear, osteoarthritis in my neck, and peripheral neuropathy.  I'm also waiting to get surgery for herniated discs L-5 to S-1.  I've been on Lortab and really couldn't tell it was doing anything.  I had become very depressed due to the severe pain I've been experiencing.  The doctor gave me Percocet and at first I was very hesitant to take it.  But now that I am it has made such a huge difference.  I've only been on it for a few days but for the first time in a very long time I was able to go to sleep last night and stay asleep for more than 3 hours at a time.  My shoulder that has the tear is still painful but it is bearable now.  I really hope that it has the antidepressant effect too."


"This website has reassured me that I am not crazy! I had Implanon inserted in February 2011. Insertion was fairly painless, it took months of getting used to it in my arm. My periods were unpredictable but not constant. However, the biggest side effect for me was the weight gain, 30 pounds in a year. I made my appointment to have it removed last month, my doctor did not want to remove it. She told me that weight gain is not a side effect, I just need to exercise. I had it removed anyway. I found this website with reviews from women with my experiences and I am so grateful! Implanon is effective, but the weight gain and mood change was not worth it for me in the end."


"I've been using Nuvaring for 6 years now and think that it's pretty good. Overall, my skin is clear, my hair is super soft, my period is regular and easy to manage, and my PMS symptoms seem to be well controlled. I have mood swings and struggle with anxiety regulation but I'm not sure that these issues are due to the birth control. I would recommend this to most people."


"Had procedure done 3 days ago. Shook during the procedure, but it was very quick. I was on the last day of my period, and still spotting. Feels like every time I eat I get intense cramps. Hoping it will get better soon."


"Great, helped me a lot!"


"Along with Celexa at 20mg, for about 5 weeks, I take 150mg of Wellbutrin, and 40 mg of methadone. I've had several back surgeries so live with chronic pain.  Along with an improvement of depression and anxiety, I noticed that my appetite has decreased. No weight gain, maybe lost a couple pounds. I noticed improvement on the first couple days! I've tried Prozac & Welbutrin, individually & together, but not much help.  I recommend giving Celexa a try over any other medicines."


"This medicine literally worked for me within two days I have to take it for 14 days due to 50mg dosage. I've noticed I become hungry after taking it but other than that it has cleared up any odor or discharge I recommend taking it as suggested to prevent getting pid or any lower pain."


"I have a really hard time taking estrogen birth control and I decided to get the Depo shot. After reading the reviews I was so scared I canceled my appointment to get it. After thinking about it I decided to just go ahead with it and see what happens. I've been on it a little more than 3 weeks and I've noticed that I am a little more tired and I have some pimples that are starting to go away. Other than that I haven't had any spotting, tender breasts, sex-drive changes, etc. Usually before my period I eat non-stop and have cravings and it's nice to not have that! I will write again to update how it's going in a few weeks. I wanted to let people know not to be terrified. It may work for you and if it doesn't just don't get another shot."


"I was on ortho tri cyxlen lo for 10 years and loved it and had no side effects. I had to switch to tri sprintec lo 2 years ago after my insurance wouldn't cover ortho any more. Since switching, I have gotten horrible acne and I never had acne before, even as a teenager. I've also become very moody and have no sex drive. I've also gained between 5-10 pounds that I just can't get rid of. After reading other reviews on this pill, I was finally able to put the pieces together and realized the pill seems to be the culprit for my issues. Once i finish this pack, I'm getting off of it. Stay away from this birth control!"


"Before I tried this pill I tried so many others and the experiences were bad. This is the only pill that I feel like myself on! It probably is because this is the lowest dose pill available. Why put extra hormones in your body if you can prevent pregnancy and lighten periods with the minimal amount of hormones? I really like it! I've recommended it to several friends and they are liking it too!"


"I did not receive pre-medication before planned insertion. I had it inserted at age 24 & had never given birth. It was very painful to have inserted. I began having pain radiating down from my uterus to my hips, thighs, and knees. Now it mainly begins a wk prior to my period. I have heavy periods, most of the heavy bleeding is only for 2-3 days. The other days are light to normal, with several days of spotting after. The PMS symptoms have been amplified. Pain during sex. Breakthrough bleeding. Occasionally I get an extra period. I have kept the Paragard because it is highly effective. I am allergic to hormonal contraceptives, spermicide, and have a latex sensitivity. So far, no babies."


"Do not get this shot. I got it for birth control about five months ago and I have been bleeding for the past four. The effective birth control is not worth the risk. I feel like my whole life now surrounds the blood. I just want the bleeding to stop. I'm so scared and sad. Please, do not get this shot."


"This works well if taken as needed like any other for serious pain sustained from injuries. I give it a ten, works for me."


"Taking Predisone causes me to heart-burn, but a simple antacids helps get rid of the heart-burn. Also, makes me edgey,  and my feet swell some times when taking predisone. But it's totally worth taking predisone because the feeling of suffocation is so much worse."


"I have been depressed with major social anxiety for over five years. I've always been scared to try any medication. Lately it's been unbearable. I have too much social anxiety that I can't even sit through job interviews or simple things like going shopping alone. I'm 25 and have been on Paxil for less than a month. The first two weeks were bad. I'd wake up at odd hours of the night and be wide awake. I'd feel like puking throughout the day along with being very drowsy. Don't worry. It does subside. I feel like going out more and I'm not too worried as I usually am about people judging me or looking at me. I participate in small talk with strangers. I am free to go out without worrying. I'm content."


"I've been taking mirtazapine for 16 months. It helps with my depression but I still get very depressed sometimes and it's made me gain so much weight and I'm always hungry. That's the negative thing about it, I get hungry at night especially."


"I've had Nexplanon for almost 2 months and it's fantastic. I had one veeeery long period after insertion, but now it seems that I'll be period free for the rest of my 3 years!

In terms of emotions, I've found that Nexplanon has made me more clearheaded. Its definitely much harder for me to get upset now.

One drawback: my boobs hurt!"


"I didn't have a heart attack, but was getting ready for one when I had an angiogram and and then had 3 stents put in my right coronary artery. I have been taking Plavix for the last month with no problems.  The doctors tell me I will be on Plavix for the rest of my life.  At this point in my life (64) I have a cast iron stomach.  Because of the aspirin I have been taking for years (perhaps the reason I didn't have a heart attack) I bruise easily and bleed profusely.  Different bodies, different results.  I'll try to check back in a year and update my experience."


"Started taking Lyrica yesterday for severe diabetic neuropathy in both feet and lower legs. I am currently on Suboxone for a 15 year addiction to opiates and was concerned that Lyrica wouldn't work because my body is so screwed up from all the years of opiate use and most medications do not work well for me. Thirty minutes after the first dose I noticed a significant improvement in the neuropathic pain. My bedtime dose was another 75 milligram capsule and I slept better than I have slept in months! This medicine has been a God send for me so far. Hoping that it continues to work well for me! Thanks Pfizer!"


"this is my second time having a yeast infection the first time I used monistat and this time I tried this one. Its awful, minutes after I applied it I was extreamly itchy and there was a burning feeling. wouldn't recommend"


"Began adipex on 7/7/16, feeling great about it and a little nervous at the same time. I started out at 233 lbs and I am 5'5" so I was pretty chunky.. a 38.77 on the BMI chart to be exact... Well, I changed the way I ate, I only ate salads, meats, nuts and slim jims for the first week and I lost 12 pounds in 7 days. I cut out all sugary drinks, Haven't touched a drink with sugar in it since the 6th of July, so very proud of myself! Well, to cut this short, I now weigh 183 lbs and I'm still losing even though I'm not on this pill anymore. Just stick to your diet & you'll be good to go! It's hard at first, but I promise you get used to it fast & it just becomes natural!! GOOD LUCK!"


"I was prescribed 20mg of Vyvanse last year after trying different medications for a couple of years without much success. I had found bupropion (Wellbutrin) before after being on SSRIs and felt better immediately after I began taking it. As a result of my mood improving dramatically on more of a stimulant type of medication, and the fact that I smoke cigarettes and drink plenty of coffee, I was prescribed a CNS stimulant to try. My doctor suggested Adderall but I didn't want the up and down mood swings that came with it, so I asked for Vyvanse instead. I moved from 20mg to 30mg a month after I started and haven't looked back. It's a very subtle medication that I find gives me the alertness I need to not feel panicky on a day to day basis."


"I got nexplanon about 8 months ago and I have been constantly bleeding the whole time. I guess you can consider it effective birth control since I haven't had much sex in theses past 8 months due to the consistent bleeding. There are 1-3 days were there might not be any bleeding but then it is followed by weeks of constant spotting. I also noticed that sex became a bit painful after a few months of being on nexplanon. I am only 92lbs so my small size may be the reason my body is reacting to it in this way but i honestly wouldnt reccomend this form of birth control."


"I had strep throat and have been taking this medicine for 3 days and I still have a sore throat. I feel like I have a sinus infection now."


"Amazing - only thing that works for me- allows me to be at work functioning on medication - all my other meds made me dopey or stupid (stupimax:topamax)"


"Hi, I've been suffering from anxiety, panic attacks and sometimes depression but not serious depression, for around 3 months now due to an experience I had whilst taking MDMA. I had a panic attack the other night that led to me calling an ambulance because I felt faint, fast breathing then when the paramedics arrived my arms went numb due to my fast breathing, so I decided to see my GP the next day and he prescribed me with fluoxetine. Its now coming up to the sixth day of me using this medication and I kind of feel myself calmer, but this is only the first week. It was a kind of last resort thing to start and use medication so all fingers and toes crossed that I, and hope many more can overcome this anxiety and stress problem!"


"I took a 10 day dose 1 year ago for a sinus infection, and only remember feeling much better in a short time. Since I was already miserable, I don't remember having any adverse reactions.  Recently, I got a 7 day dose for another sinus infection and an ear infection, and I felt good on day 3 and 4 with only mild nausea and dizziness. Taking it on a full stomach helped.  I started to feel poor on day 5 and developed a terrible headache that lasted 2 days. By day 7, I developed severe fatigue, muscle, tendon and joint pain.  I agree with other reviews, in that this is a very effective medicine, but the side effects can be severe.  I am glad to hear that these go away in a few days."


"I am a 30 year old female. I battled with alcohol for many years drinking mostly 7 days a week.  I am currently finishing a recovery program and asked my counselor about something to help with the intense (overpowering) cravings. She recommended Campral and I was able to get a prescription from my doctor.  I have been on the Campral for 2 days now and can't even believe how well it is working.  Now I can focus my time on being productive, rather than wasting so much time dwelling on the cravings. My mood also seems better too. Life feels good. Thank God for Campral."


"The only drug that works for me"


"Clomipramine has done a wonderful job for my dermatillomania. I've tried many different meds and this one works the best. I think it caused a bit of weight gain, but that could've been

due to my hypothyroidism! I'm on thyroid meds now so I'll check back when stable and metabolism starts getting in gear. I'm on 75-100mgs daily of the Anafranil. I don't plan on going off this med in the near future!"


"Well, started taking strattera around 6 weeks back, had ADHD since I was a child. (23 now) been on ritilin and a couple of other ones when I was young, can't remember the name of the other two. Took myself off the meds when I was old enough to leave school, looking at how people are describing their children's symptoms are bringing it all back. How every day at school trying to eat was the biggest challenge, YES I could sit still, YES I was "well behaved" but all the time every day I just felt ill. All some parents and mostly schools care about is if every child in the room is quiet and being educated. I'd never felt so free when I took myself off the meds. Strattera is kind of working for me now but is causing a lot of changes to my body"


"Have been on Oxytrol for several years now and found it to work very well for me.  Now I find that none of the retailers, in my area of Texas, are carrying it any more.  Anyone know why?     To the question of whether or not did my insurance cover this drug, it is an OTC, no insurance required."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I'm French . I'm using Stribld and I am coming to US . So where can I find Stribild and how Much is a box ?"


"The trick is to use it just before you go to sleep. This way it has a chance to work instead of being washed away by blinking when you are awake.  It's a bit sticky when you first wake up the next morning but somehow it works magically the rest of the day."


"The Nuvaring is very easy to use however I had some odd problems with. I didn't gain any weight or get acne. The only problem that I did have with it was the dryness. I was very dry during sex and before. The doctor recommended that we use lubricant and remove the ring which we did and that didn't help to much. The worst part was the itchiness that I had around the lips. The doctor told me that would go away and that I needed to use the product longer. However, the itchiness got worse and the whole vaginal area became very dry and painful. During urination it would burn. I was tested for urinary infection and yeast infection and the doctor did not find anything. After 3 months I had enough of the itching and not that great of a sex drive."


"I had a moderate case of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis, and was prescribed minocycline. It had pretty much cleared it up (not 100%), but I had developed pulsatile tinnitus (hearing my pulse due to a mucus buildup in my inner ear) in my right ear as a side effect of the medication, and it has persisted for about 4-5 months. I was on the minocycline regimen for about 3 months. I've seen the doctor about my ear, and the pulsing sound has reduced greatly and doesn't really bother me anymore (though I going to return to try to get rid of it completely). Minocycline is effective, but just be aware that this can also be a side effect of this medication."


"The brand that you get makes a huge difference. I can only find the Apotex  brand at the pharmacies within a 70 mile range(25mcg/hr). Some times these patches have very little or no effect on my pain.I am sure it is the lack of consistent medication on some of the patches because I have actually suffered through about 24 hours of no relief then take the patch off and try a new patch,my pain was better 5 minutes later.By each patch being so inconsistent, it can not possibly control my pain consistently.My friend uses Pac brand which she has her pharmacy order, and says they work fine.I will check reviews on different brands and try to have them ordered."


"Got terrible acne. No cramps though, no noticeable mood swings. I don't mind weight gain (or increase in breast size) however this pill didn't seem to alter with either one in any way. Can't decide if I want to switch to something that will increase my cup size even just a little and not cause acne."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Started drinking this moviprep at 11pm it's the most disgusting thing I have drank every time I took a sip I felt like throwing up but had no choice taking it so took it in big gulps finished the first litre with in 1.5 hours after 45 mins all hell broke loose went toilet about 10 times it was all watery it's worked absolutely fine but tastes awful I wish I don't have to take the second litre."


"Nortrel is the third birth control I've tried. I have been taking it the for 2 months now. I haven't experienced any breakthrough bleeding, which was my problem on the other two pills, but my periods on this pill have been unbearable. This pill has caused me to have extreme cramps, major mood swings, bloating, back pain, breast tenderness, and a very very heavy period. It lasts about 5 days, but it's far heavier than my period has ever been. I thought that my body just needed to get used to it, but my second period on this pill seemed considerably worse than the first. "


"I have been taking Wellbutrin SR for about 4 yrs. In combo with a few other different meds.  I didn't think I would ever find my cocktail. But recently I do believe I finally have found it. So I'm on Wellbutrin SR, Seroquel, and Klonopin. I was taking Lamictal and Ativan before. But unfortunately got the Lamictal rash. I love the combo I have now. I have been sleeping like a baby. No more 100 miles an hour at bedtime."


"I got Nexplanon bout 5 mouths ago and it works good for the birth control part but I have been Bleeding none stop. Out of the 5 mouths I probably didn't bleed for 2-3 weeks  but I have moods swings and my sex life is same cause my bf don't mind the blood."


"44 years old officially diagnosed 3 years ago. Although I was manic for many years.  I had huge opportunity and am a successful business man with a number of company's. I have 3 beautiful children that are the only reason I'm here today.. like many I'm so fed up with my illness I can drag you down in life. it's extremely complicated affair.. I have been pretty much on many combinations, quetiapine which I still take 600mg tried all of the following without any success side effects horrendous for me  venlaxerfin, abiblify, pregabaline like,  olanzapine, I currently have to taking the gamble and trying lithium now on 400 mg with 600mg quetiapine, 150 lamatrogine, zoucline 7.5 6 mill diagram. . On lithium so far no side effects however not feeling a benefit"


"I wasn't sleeping before I started taking this medicine, which was causing me to have more seizures. Now that I'm taking it I sleep like a baby and my seizures have reduced drastically."


"This medicine is a lifesaver. My doctor put me on blood pressure medicine when I turned 40. It made me feel tired and just bad and in about 8 months after I started taking it I started having chest pains. She swapped me to Diovan and I've been on it for 3 years now. I have no side effects,  I don't feel bad anymore and it controls my blood pressure."


"Severe ear infection with much mucus from nostrils. Levaquin 750mg didn't help. After taking it I felt my heart was beating somewhat harder. Requested something else that actually worked."


"I've been on Sutent 50mg for eight months and it's working for me, thank you! It does knock the stuffing out of me, but I'm loathe to drop to 37.5mg. I never get sick or have diarrhea, just exhaustion. I'm planning to go on for a long time yet, my biggest problem is myself not responding fast enough to my body, which is screaming at me to rest. When the clock is ticking, you don't want to stop do you?"


"I got nexplanon in August 2013, the procedure was not to bad it just felt like a bee sting. At first the bruise lasts awhile and I had spotting for 8 months after insertion which was fine except it made sex a lot messier. During this last 2.5 years I have been bloated had nausea and horrible IBS symptoms which I believe to be associated from the birth control. I had diarrhea almost everyday and I've had to call in to work sick because of diarrhea up to 15 times a day. I'm not sure why I'm getting horrible bloating weight gain or diarrhea. But aside from this my periods have stopped and it has been wonderful not bleeding but the diarrhea has made it almost worse than having a regular period. I would have kept this in if not for the diarrhea/weigh"


"I got paragard in February of 2015. It is now October of 2015 and the side effects have yet to subside or lessen at all. That is over 8 months, when the side effects are supposed to lessen after 6. Honestly this would be a great birth control but it made my period much heavier and longer. I used to only get mine for 3-4 days and now it's almost 7 days with very heavy bleeding the first few days. My cramps are much worse, and the worst part is I get my period almost every 2-3 weeks. It sucks. I took this to avoid hormones but PMSing so much is essentially the same problem..... Anyways, I plan to get it removed within the next couple weeks. I cannot say for sure if it was effective in I had high hopes for this, but it just wasn't for me."


"Dose up on Seroquel slowly, if need be.  I take 100 Mg three times per day for GAD

and it does help me to think more clearly.  It is better than taking too many Benzos."


"OMG. Anxiety. With this BC I have only had it for 2 years and I'm sitting in the dr office right now waiting to get it out because I have had my period for a month and I've totally flew off the handle. Emotionally unstable. I can not function in daily situations because of this. And I never had anxiety before this. I would not recommend this to anyone."


"I gained 20 lbs on Nexplanon over the course of a year and a half, gaining 10 of those during the last 3 months while dieting. When I had it taken out I lost 4 lbs during the first week. I stopped gaining weight and after a couple months my body was back to normal and I was able to lose another 6 lbs (so far).

Not everyone gains weight and I also gained weight very easily during pregnancy. I suspect those two responses may be related. It seems like it would be a great option for lots of people, but beware of this side effect. It's not good for your heart to carry around extra pounds. Good luck!"


"Still having hot flashes at 73.

Used Prempro for 30 years but doctors would no longer

Script it. 4 months now on 10mg Paxil and loving it. Had some minor GI issues but nothing serious. I'm happy without hot flashes and I seem to have a better out"


"I've taken One Nexium 40mg for 13 years . It has been very helpful. Could only eat baby food when diagnosed.  When my health insurance said I had to use the Generic Brand I tried it for five days, began having very bad episodes of heart burn. They have agreed to pay for the name brand."


"I started having Gardasil at 14 (I'm a female) and my last shot was given to me this past December. I have never had a problem nor have I had any of the side effects that they list. The shots stung but not to the point where it hurt (the third one was the worst of the three). I can say that I am confident that it will protect me from the forms of HPV that they state and also from getting genital warts if I decide to become sexually active well into the future."


"I cannot express enough how INCREDIBLE vivitrol is! I am proud to say I have 4 months clean. All the glory goes to vivitrol and God! After years spent being in a self destructive, repetetive, hopeless cycle... My Drug Of Choice's were methamphetamine and heroin (both IV). Now I no longer have cravings for EITHER substances. I  am finally working. Got my drivers licence and a car. Am working on getting my GED. All things I never would have been able to do if I'd kept going from where I was. I am thankful and blessed to be alive and sober today. I 100% recommend this to everybody still suffering. My brother also got the shot after years of being in and out of jail, living on the streets, he is working now and doing wonderfully! So thankful"


"I used the Kira brand of St. John's Wort because it was one of the ones used in the clinical trials done in Europe. While I feel this is a good brand of St. John's Wort, I had side effects from it which prevented me from continuing on it. I had diarrhea, gas and abdominal pain. I was unable to continue on the medication. While I was on it, I did not see any improvement, but I was not on it long enough. Also, I should note that I was only on 300 mg and got this side effect. Perhaps I am very sensitive."


"The first night I took Lyrica I slept 9 hours. Got out of bed without any pain.  This has been a lifesaver for me.  I am so happy with the results. I am only on 50mg at night.  Not seeing a reason to increase the dose yet."


"I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 14 and I'm now 23. I've been on and off different forms of BC. Tri-Sprintec is the ONLY form of BC that has helped me. My periods are regulated, I have no acne, no unwanted facial hair, and it hasn't made me gain any kind of weight. The only negative affect I've experienced with Tri-Sprintec is an occasional headache. Other than that, it works great!"


"Buprenorphine has been helpful for my fibro and chronic pain, however I still have a pain level of between 4 to 6."


"Worked very well. I had very mild side effects."


"Found out at my 6 month checkup that I had chlamydia, asked for the 4-pills at once deal. This is my first and ONLY time I will ever contract this again so I was very eager to get this over with. I was prescribed 4 pills of 250mg azithromycin, took them around 2:00pm and around 5:00pm I started experiencing diarrhea to the max. Haven't gotten off the toilet since and it's not 6:30pm, but I'm confident it will go away and just thankful I no longer have chlamydia"


"I was on Seasonique for a little over 2 weeks, I developed a blood clot about halfway through that time from it, I didn't know it until it started hurting. I'm not trying to scare the rest of you ladies!I just wanted to say ,pay VERY close attention to your body when you start this therapy. Especially your limbs. Report any pain, swelling, aching or burning sensations in your arms or legs ASAP to your doctors or go to the nearest emergency room!"


"Sooooo I decided, since I'm a long-term Paraguard user that I would finally review it!

Honestly for me this birth control is the best way to go. I never had heavy periods before it, nor did I have cramps. I got it when I was 17 and I'm 20 now.

Cons: Slightly uncomfortable insertion, heavier flow & bad cramping for the first 6 periods with Paraguard

Pros: After a few months cramps and heavy flow return to normal, it doesn't mess with your hormones, IT LASTS FOR 10 YEARS, won't negatively affect you later in life if you are trying to conceive, is not affected by antibiotics, you don't have to remember to take a pill, you don't pay a monthly co-pay for a prescription.

I LOVE my IUD and I am so so glad I got it!"


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


"The drug did not work for me.  I felt I was about to have a heart attack.  I thought I was going to die. I was ready to call 911.  I didn't realize it could have such an adverse effect on you.   The doctor prescribed another drug which worked much better without giving me the feeling of an oncoming heart attack."


"Ignore all negative comments, it stopped me from taking this medicine for two years. I was unable to work, drive, fly, function. Panic attacks, exhausted all my life. Sporty, lived for exercise, tried CBT. Am pill phobic.
My life was a mess so I worked with a great doc starting very slowly and here I am 6 months later and I'm a new person. No panic, mild anxiety every now and then like normal people but I'm manageable. Please do it. It's a wonderful medicine, no side effects and it'll change your life. Start living."


"The only RX that treats my acne immediately and empties my pores of all impurities. When I skip a few weeks of using my acne comes back. It does make your skin itch a little when you first put it on but it goes away as you sleep. People experiencing burning and redness (stay out of the direct sun light and no sun lamps!!) only use once a day or less! This stuff truly does work like a miracle on my skin. Sucks my insurance never wants to cover it!"


"I have have been taking Lo Loestrin for 5 months now and only had one short light period, which scares me because I am not used to not having a period. I haven't has any side effects with the birth control. I'm 24 yrs old and about 180lbs, I gain weight very easily with other birth control pills but haven't with Lo Loestrin. I love the pill other than not having a period for 4 months, I'm not sure if that's normal or not, definitely have to speak to the doctor. Lo Loestrin works real well preventing pregnancy,  that's the reason I am sticking with it, and plus it doesn't have all these extra hormones like other birth controls."


"Not my experience but my wife's,very effective and addictive,after work the highlight to her day is taking this, has changed her personality and what's important to her. Tried many different things and this is where where at,"


"I am 52 and started having very bad hot flashes and night sweats six months ago. Up until then I was still getting a regular period.  I still have all original parts (ie: ovaries and uterus)  I went on the Sandoz generic estradiol patch 1 1/2 weeks ago.  My hot flashes are down to near nothing.  I will continue this regimen for as long as my doctor says.  She mentioned me also using a progesterone in the future as well.  I would recommend this to any women.  It's about quality of our lives. :)"


"I have had a problem with underarm sweat for years now. My shirts get drenched. It's so embarrassing. I have tried every over the counter clinical strength, and nothing works. I even asked my doctor about it, and she declined giving me a prescription strength, saying that they don't work! She wanted to send me to a dermatologist right away for laser treatments or Botox. I didn't want to do that. So I kept suffering. Until last week, I did an internet search on sweaty underarms and I found Drysol. It arrived this weekend, I have used it 3 nights now and I am totally dry!! It does burn and itch some at night, but that is totally fine with me! Because I feel like I have a new lease on life! It's a life changer for me. Drysol Rocks!!!"
