"I'm glad to hear Azor is working well for people and I must add that it works wonderfully for me as well. The only side effect I have from it so far after 6 months is sort of a good relaxed feeling throughout my body. My blood pressure (BP) was averaging 180/110, sometimes very close to 200/110. Though some people have no symptoms at all with high BP I certainly did; I felt awful, very anxious, had migraine type headaches, small nosebleeds and knew something was wrong with me but didn't know what. I eventually felt so horrible I went to the emergency room and that%u2019s how I found out I had high BP. I thought because of my age (35) and good health and weight that a diagnosis of high BP was going to floor me but this medicine changed that. While in the hospital getting stabilized we tried 4 different medications which were not very effective. I found a general practitioner the next day and Azor was the first drug he put me on. The following day my readings were 130/85 and within 2 days down to 105/65 to 115/75! That was 6 months ago and my readings are consistently in that range except for a very rare reading in the high 120's/80's. I have energy again, I have no headaches or nosebleeds, I'm not anxious, and I feel human again. I can%u2019t put it into words though how much better I feel with a healthy blood pressure range. Thank goodness for Azor, it has made a major difference for me and the quality of my life. I wish you all good health and hope you have continued success with this medication. If you are browsing this page looking for medications to talk to your doctor about, don%u2019t forget to mention Azor, it might be the one that is right for you too."


"I have been using this drug since close to FDA approval in 1976.  No side effects, works within ten minutes.  Doctors have tried to get me to use "newer" drugs but this one works like a charm. When I was younger I used it at least twice a month now only use it twice a year if at all."


"effective in controlling chronic back pain. A"


"In 1976 I had a motorcycle accident & tore the cartilage in my knee.  Back then, they didn't know any better & my cartilage was surgically removed.  I have rubbed bone on bone for 38 years & suffer from osteoarthritis.  I have taken MANY pills for pain relief & nothing has really seemed to give me relief until now.  I took my first 15mg dose on Tuesday evening.  The very next morning I was able to get out of bed and walk with nearly no pain.  In addition, the swelling in my leg was significantly reduced.   I highly recommend talking to your Dr. about prescribing this to you for osteoarthritis."


"I am 28 years old, I have 1 child and have only had skyla for about a week. First off I had originally gotten the Nexplanon implant back in December and after 3 months of constant bleeding well it was time for a change. I was hesitant on getting an IUD because of the horror stories of how bad it hurt. Well I didn't think it was bad at all. I felt minor cramps for about 10 seconds and had just an uncomfortable feeling the next day but after that everything has been fine. I have had a few days of spotting but just used a panty liner cause it wasn't even that bad! hopefully I have a good experience with this birth control as I don't want to have to change again! I will update my review after a few months to see how it goes!"


"I had severe headaches, blurred vision and I could NOT produce a bowel movement without laxatives, while on this medicine."


"This medication works well if taken as directed for your insomnia and for no longer than about 1 month.  I began taking 1-50mg twice a week which worked very well but I continued to increase the dosage every 2 weeks.  It did make me tired enough to fall right to sleep after about 45 minutes of taking it and with no drowsiness the following morning. "


"sad that I'm seeing so many negative reviews! I've been on this stuff about 5 years now and it's the only thing that helps my acne! I don't think I'll ever stop using epiduo. it's changed my life, I now have confidence I never had. people would always say "she's pretty but she has so much acne" to me in high school. everyone teased me. now my skin is clear and I love it! only rated a 9/10 because this doesn't help with scars. but it keeps the acne away so I'm not complaining!"


"Takes a while to feel any relief.  I have experienced dizziness, shallow breathing, hypotention."


"Been on the tablets for a week and only went one time and it was difficult to pass. Not happy"


"Had two doses over many years.  At 15 / 16 my skin was masked by spots and only a little could be seen around my eyes and in addition I suffered with cold sores breaking out all around my lips.  Ugly was the only way I felt.  So it was a Dr Freshwater in Chester who prescribed the first time after a very tearful consultation in approximately  1975/1976.

The result was amazing and it gave me my confidence to go out and comments about my skin stopped.

However the spots came back again in my early 40's - so off to the docs again and private this time with a Dr Lister in Wrexham and a lot more rigid processes to be checked.  Again the course cleared my spots.

Side effects were dry lips and facial skin that was easily managed with creams."


"Had my first episode of gout. Dr. prescribed Indomethacin. Symptoms significantly reduced in 12 hours and completely gone in 48 hours. No noticed side effects."


"My insurance is not covering Butrans patch anymore so my doctor started me on Belbeca 300mcg every 12 hours.  I was concerned about it because of the negative reviews it received about its effectiveness and adhesive not staying put in the mouth.  I suffer with fibromyalgia, and herniated discs in cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions and sciatic nerve pain down to my foot.  I have not had issues with it sticking in my mouth, I place a finger inside till it sticks and one outside my check if needed.  It stays put with no issues.  It has helped my pain better than the patch and I'm taking less tramadol and zanaflex, some days I don't need it.  Past few weeks I feel my pain is controlled. I'm not waking up in pain and feel alert to work!"


"I'm about to hit my placebo week. So far I haven't really had a good experience. But I'm willing to be patient and see if the side effects subside. I've been bloated, tired, and my skin  is at its worse. The only pros so far is I haven't gotten my period every two weeks which is why I started it. I have PCOS and this is made my hair stop falling out.  I also take 50 mg of spironolactone. What's bothering me the most is that I'm an extremely active person and this makes me want to sleep all day and eat everything. I'm doing my best to make good choices. I haven't really had any significant weight gain just the feeling of being swollen in the abdomen area from retaining so much water. And my boobs got slightly bigger nothing crazy."


"Severe abdominal pain due to Crohn's disease put me on this. Taking 45mg per 12 hours.  Absolutely could not have lived without it."


"I am a 25 y/o African american female and I never had to see a dermatologist up until Nov 2016 because my face had turned for the worst after quitting BC! I had huge PAINFUL cystic acne on my jawline and cheeks(hormonal). My first few visits to the derm I was recommended the normal cetaphil, & topical & oral clindamycin. FAIL. I was prescribed Aczone 5% (once a day) in March 2017 & my skin is on its way to being flawless! It DEFINITELY gets worse between weeks 2-5, like additional acne in places I never had it before worse, but it will get better! DON'T QUIT! I'm on week 8 now. I may get a tiny pimple or 2 here & there but thats it. I will say that I upped my dose to 2x a day & still use the cetaphil prior. I'm happy I didn't have to resort to spiro =)"


"A very good cream. I was initially prescribed a corticosteroid for seborrhoeic dermatitis on my scrotum and ouch, which gave a horrible burning and itching sensation like never before in my life. I went back to the doctor and he prescribed me desonide. It didn't burn and results were almost overnight. It really is incredible. I struggled with dermatitis on the front part of my scalp, and he gave me a horrible smelling oil that I had to put on each night for two weeks, I got rid of it somewhat but never fully, a year and a half later and I'm fed up with putting that stuff on, so I just went ahead and put desonide on it, it works way better better than that oil! Desonide is simply awesome!"


"When I first got it on the date of July 22 2015 it made my period heavy and up to 3 months long. Leading into the end of my first year having it my period stoped. Later on I gained 35 pounds  I have stretch marks every where. I cry for no reason at times and get Bad headaches. The implant birth control definitely does its job by keeping babies away. The side effects are bad."


"I've had my Mirena for 4 months now. I'm 26 and have never had a child or been pregnant. My periods prior to using any hormonal birth control, my periods were always inconsistent and sometimes heavy. My gyno recommended switching me to an IUD since I have no desire for children in the future. The insertion process was extremely painful for me. I had awful cramps for a week after I got it. I even had to get the dr to write me a prescription for pain medication so that I could tolerate going to work. I consider myself someone that can tolerate a high amount of physical pain but getting the Mirena put in it was a terrible experience. I do not want another one after the 5 years is up."


"After working with the top Doc in the field of Pain Management  (Philadelphia ) for years, I ended up on Roxicodone.  We literally tried everything available/appropriate before resorting to narcotics.  Some things worked for a while & then stopped, some meds caused awful side effects.  Roxicodone works well for me;it doesn't provide 100% relief, but is better than other things I've tried."


"Do not think about food at all. If I eat whenever I am hungry I am well under 1500 kcal/day. I am worried about gallstones forming due to very rapid weight loss. But this medicine is a clear winner.

I can also report some sleep problems, but they go away. The effect of alcohol also seems intensified.

"


"I've been on Contrave for 3 weeks.  I've lost 7 lbs total.  I'm really watching my calories and stay around 1100 calories a day.  No side effects but I do get cravings in the afternoons.  I did have a headache the first week, but I think that was from my body reacting to no junk food."


"I've decided to stop taking this pill because I have noticed it has effected my personality and how I feel in general. I've became withdrawn, sensitive and just sad after about 3 weeks on this pill. I noticed a decrease in my sex drive as well. Physically, I have had no side effects, but the psychological side effects mentioned don't seem worth it to me so I'm going to try ortho tri-cyclen lo. My sisters take that one and are very happy with it. If that doesn't work I'm going to switch to a non-hormonal method of birth control."


"I had nexplanon inserted in September 2014 after my 2nd child was born. I bled for the 1st month and then I haven't had period since. I weigh more than I did during my pregnancy. No matter how I eat, I can't lose the weight. I'm extremely irritable,  and my sex drive has gone down. I also got really bad headaches at first. I definitely think I'm going to have it removed. I think I gave it a fair shot and it's just not working for me."


"Reading these reviews Really helped I knew it was this BC!! Ok I have had the nexplanon for like 10 months when I say my mood swings are the worst and the weight gain is ridiculous I was never a small girl but I was never huge tho!!! My sex drive does not exist like I really had to sit down a few days ago and think about what was wrong with me and the birth control is the only difference I have made since then. The depression and mood swings is crazy I will be scheduling me an appt to get this thing taken out. I just be yelling at my boyfriend and thats when it hit me because Im really laid back and cool this thing has to get out my arm"


"Bonine did not work at all for me and I really suffered during a 2-hour flight."


"I cannot tell you how this product helped me. Background: I am 32 years old, never had acne until 30 years old. I went to the doctor and tried this out; it worked miracles. My faced purged for about a month, but I let it do its thing. If you use this the way you are suppose to, then this should cure it. I have used it for about 2 months. Yes, my face got dry, it purged, it got red, but it goes away. If you wanna put make up on after the cream, you must wait at least 30 minutes after application. I swear by this cream; my dermatologist, Dr.Brown. This cream takes time; you are not gonna see results right away. Just like any cream, machine(clearisonic) needs to purge all your pimples and the ones that are embedded in your skin."


"The sickest six weeks of my life. Constant nausea accompanied by intermittent vomiting, headaches and flu-like symptoms.  I would have  had to die to feel better.  An emotional wreck, severe bouts of crying, feelings of utter despondency and hopelessness that were not present before taking.  I am amazed that this drug made it through the FDA with such high incidences of nausea.  Absolutely horrible experience."


"(18 years old, 104lbs, 5'0) I was on 25 mg and switched to 40mg as I hadn't noticed anything after a month. So far I have dry mouth sometimes, feel more tired, nausea after taking pill. Also, those around had noticed that I am blah all the time after I take it and that I completely change from my upbeat personality to very flat. I will be talking to my doctor about taking a stimulant instead so I won't have to take it everyday."


"Nexplanon is great as far as preventing pregnancy. It is nice not having to take the pill every single day and it is very effective. I have been on Nexplanon since August 15, 2014. After about a month, I started spotting everyday and I haven't stopped since. It has been 10 months of constant spotting. I also always feel bloated. Initially, I had moon swings, my mood has definitely leveled out since then. I am getting the implant out next week and I cannot wait to go back to a normal cycle. I would not suggest getting Nexplanon."


"I have had nausea, headache and body pain. The body pain has been the most difficult. I had to stop taking medications because of this medication but also seem to have hypersensitivity in smell. So far all looks good but still in early stages."


"Started a week ago after gabapentin was wearing off about 5 am. Hate it! Severe headaches and dry mouth wake me up several times a night and feel out of it in the morning. Also very expensive. Going back to gabapentin."


"I am using this drug since doctors told me that I have high blood pressure. So 3 years now. In the beginning it worked fine but like for everyone here I started to feel tired and dizzy all the time. I can't even talk about sex.... Because if you will use this drug you can forget about sex. Furthermore I think this drug doesn't work anymore for me because I often getting chest pain and my blood pressure before drinking and after drinking almost doesn't changing."


"I started taking phentermine 15mg 4/16/15 today is 4/20/15 and already lost 7lbs. Highest weight 361lbs now I am 354lbs, only side effect is dry month so I have been drinking more water. Stopped drinking soda and eating my favorite chips I will give you guys update in May when I go in for my month check up to see how much lost."


"I am 31 and have been on Meridia since April 29, 2009. I have to date lost 28lbs. I have not experienced any major side effects besides dry mouth, which usually goes away with water. The pills are expensive since they are not covered by my insurance. Therefore I don't plan on being on them for more then 5-6 months. I work out a few times a week and really watch what I eat. If you don't change your eating habits you will definitely gain all the weight back. I wish you all success."

"I have a very high tolerance to opiates. I have spondylolithesis (broken joints in my spine resulting in movement and nerve pain). I have just started taking the Exalgo recently along with oxycodone, ibuprofen and the results are great. If you have an increased tolerance to your pain medicines talk to your doctor about adding once a day Exalgo."


"It didn't work for my incontinence problem (which occurred after laser TURP), and I think it made it worse. It caused me to have a dry mouth, which caused me to drink more, which caused more incontinence. I told the doctor that I wasn't having bladder spasms, but he ignored what I said and said to give it a try and come back in 30 days. "


"I experience being thirsty all the time on this, but it eliminates cyclical worrying thoughts and decreases my irritability.  I do have difficulty reaching sexual climax, but can sometimes. But on the generic, I could not climax at all, so it is better in that regard."


"Downside of this med is the first few days, it's tough getting in a regular sleeping sync, it can cause nausea without food or with too much water at one time, and you can't go off abruptly or start taking large doses right away because it can have side effects.

However, this medication leaves an unbelievable amount of satisfaction feeling after it takes effect.  It took effect on me instantly, but that's my body.  I take it midday or late morning after a good meal so it doesn't interrupt my sleep as much.  If you don't have slow release, splitting it up might be a good idea, with at least a few hours in between.  It prevents me from overeating, but it also prevents me from starving myself because if I don't eat enough I'll feel nauseated."


"My RA attacked my lungs, turning my lung tissue into scar tissue, which does not expand. My first pulmonologist gave me five years. Then I changed Dr. And my rheumatologist & pulmonologist put their heads together, after I had 3 bad reactions to drugs, and decided to put me on Orencia infusions. I have been on it for 2 & 1/2 years.
My lung damage has stopped. My lungs are not healing, but they are no longer getting
worse. The rest of my body isn't receiving much relief, but I am thrilled about my lungs! If they are not getting worse, that means my 5 years is no longer counting down. Thank you Orencia! And my insurance covers my infusion clinic bill in full. I am still on oxygen
24/7 at a rate of 4 liters, which I have been on since 2012."


"I have agoraphobia with panic attacks and severe anxiety.  I have been switching between valium and  klonopin for  years. I recently starting taking 2mg klonopin wafers. I find they work extremely faster then the pill. I now feel relaxed almost immediately vs up to 30 minutes or longer with the pill which isn't helpful when having a panic attack. I can leave my house more often than before. I can go to the store with out dragging one of my kids with me. Still struggling but easier for sure. Before I would drive my kids to and from school and normally wait till picking them up to shop. It's difficult but I'm finding myself more often now going after dropping them off. There for saving them from torture of shopping."


"I have taken this medication from time to time for many years with wonderfully positive results. For me, it completely eliminates my appetite which can be a problem if you aren't careful.  I strongly recommend this medication for people who are serious about controlling their weight but who also understand that simply taking a pill is not the answer for anything. Beware of becoming dehydrated. Do not interpret the 'slight buzz' as a sign of feeling better. This medicine increases your metabolism, thus, more energy. I keep strict records of how long I allow myself to take it. And because it can be habit forming, I 'prepare' myself before I take a break from it.  If you have drug or alcohol issues this medicine may not be appropriate for you."


"Crushed knee, shattered tib and fib. Leg was a mess with lot's of soft tissue damage as well. Natural morphine couldn't stop the bone pain but Dilaudid did the trick in a minute. I have to have a combination of pain killers for everything to stop but Dilaudid was the breakthrough med. It was by IV only."


"I started on 25mg and went up to 50mg/day for a relapse of pure-obsessional OCD. It took about a month for it to start working but this drug in combination with learning the principles of Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP Therapy) - a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have allowed me to regain control of my mind.

The depression that came with the relapse vanished in two weeks, anxiety and intrusive thoughts slowly dissipated/reduced in intensity about a month afterwards. I feel normal again and I couldn't be happier.

If you're one of the unlucky folks who have been blessed with OCD, give sertraline (Zoloft) a shot. Just make sure to combine it with therapy otherwise it won't be as effective."


"I've been on 20 mg of amitriptyline at bedtime for insomnia for 6 years now.  I had been on valium after a bout with acute stress disorder, but found it highly addictive and found myself going to my shrink not for therapy, but just to get my RX renewed.  I knew then that I had to get off the valium.  My GP suggested the amitriptyline, and it is great.  No side effects, and it LETS me sleep, it doesn't MAKE me sleep.  It also lets me get back to sleep if I have to get up at night to use the bathroom.  My doc told me to start with 10 mg and move up by 10 mg increments until I found a dose that worked but that didn't leave me hung over the next day.  10 mg worked.  30 mg put me in a fog til noon the next day.  20 mg has been perfect!"


"I switched from Lo Loestrin Fe to Apri because I was getting married and wanted to ensure I was having a monthly period (no pregnancy scares for me, thanks). I didn't experience many side effects at first, but with my first period on the new pill came painful cramping and heavy bleeding. Mind you, I hadn't had a real period in about a year thanks to Lo Lo Fe, but that sort of pain was why I started birth control in the first place. I've been on it about four months now and have seen a significant decrease in my sex drive, which, hello, sucks (newlywed, remember?). I've also seen mood swings and nausea the last couple months as my body has been adjusting, and I'm just not about that life. Switching as soon as I can."


"I've been taking Armour for several years now. Somewhere along the line all of my symptoms such as constipation, weight gain and trouble losing weight, hairloss, trouble falling asleep despite being extremely tired, low energy, headaches, brain fog, etc came back with a vengeance. My endo sees nothing wrong with my labs and tells me it must be something I'm eating. I went along with this theory until one day I went online to find out why my prescription cost went up so much. Much to my surprise I stumbled across many others like me complaining of symptoms coming back despite labwork being in range. Everyone noticed the changes came about when Forest sold! I'm switching doctors and hope to find another medication!"


"I am laying In bed right now in the worst pain of my life and I wish I read these reviews before doing this.
This hurts soooo bad"


"Klonopin works. I can go from anger to a puppy within fifteen minutes or less. Sometimes when I anticipate a major issue I take one to prepare myself and I'm fit to go nice and smooth. No anxiety, no anger, just calm, cool and collected. It's an excellent anxiety medication."


"I was so excited for this birth control and now I can't wait to get it out of my system.  Only 2 weeks in and already have a yeast infection, major  anxiety, feeling depressed and a loss of sex drive.... I'm miserable and can literally cry at any moment. I will never try this again."


"My doctor prescribed me celexa ten days ago as I suffer from bad anxiety attacks im also diabetic so she thinks the anxiety is brought on because of my unstable blood sugars ...the attacks were making my life hell also being a mum of three this was just not good ... I'm not sure on how I feel at the moment ???...i sweat so much feel sick and like I'm high on drugs ( such a weird feeling ) but I get a moment in the day where I feel okish and can see hope at the end of the tunnel .. I'm not sure if this means the tablets are working or not ?? I hope they do :))"


"I've been on cryselle for about 6 years, never had a problem. No side effects never experienced a headache (but I never get headaches prior) periods always come on the 3rd placebo pill day and last 2 days and the 3rd day is spotting. No crazy hormones and no acne AT ALL. The first pack u will experience nausea as any birth control pill because the hormones but should subside by the second pack. I did stop taking the pills after about 5 1/2 years when I noticed my vaginal mucus started smelling funky for about 2 months, when I stopped birth controll completely it went away and then I had a baby, just finished my first pack of cryselle post pregnancy and the same smell is back. Maybe I was on it for too long though! Hope this helps"

"I have a colonoscopy every three years so this isn't my first rodeo!  I have successfully  used Golytely and Suprep in the past.  This time, the nurse wrote a script for Prepopik.  I was on clear liquids the day before the scheduled colonoscopy.  At 8pm I consumed the first packet of Prepopik mixed with 5 oz of water and chased it within 2 hours of 50 oz of water.   I waited and waited but felt nothing, not even a little toot!  At 4am I took the second packet mixed with 5 oz of water.   I chased it with 24 oz of water within an hour.  I waited again but felt nothing until 7:30am when I had a very small movement. My stool never cleared more than normal diarrhea.  I was forced to cancel my 10:30 am colonoscopy appointment.   Never again!"


"I have a variety of GI issues as well as a phobia of throwing up and ever since I've been taking Zofran ODT, I've been able to function without throwing up in the middle of the night every night. My only complaint would be that after 5 years of taking it, it doesn't work as magically as it did at the start, but it still works wonders."


"I have experienced daily pain of endometriosis for a number of years now.  This medication has allowed me to have more energy as my energy is no longer taken by managing my pain.  I do experience bloating in the third month but that's a minor side effect I can live with."


"I've been on this drug for four years, and I will admit, it did help me out at first. I was deeply depressed and going through some major life changing situations. As this calmed down and I developed spiritually, emotionally and mentally, I gradually decreased the dose. I was on 100mg the first year, the second year, 50mg, the third, 25mg, and the fourth, 12.5mg (cutting the 25mg pill in half.)
I just got off of it two days ago, and I feel like a new person. I had no idea how much it tampered with my mind. I was in a fog for FOUR YEARS. Although I'm sleep deprived, achy, and irritable from the withdrawals (this med's withdrawals are heinous) I feel better than I have in four years. I do not recommend this drug- save your mind!"


"I was worried about possible side effects but I didn't experience ANY. No headache, no nausea, no dizziness. I ate indian food for lunch about 2 hours after taking my pill. You'll be fine."


"I started on Contrave 7/23/15 as of 10/1/15.  I  weighed 199 to start as of today I weight 178. In two months 8 days, I have lost 21 pounds. I want to lose about 50 more pounds.  It works great. I take 2 at 7:00am and 2 at 3:30pm. I didn't have any side effects. My insurance does cover the medication. I love it!"


"I had my 1st shot on Sept 2nd.  I have had nonstop bleeding since.  Other side effects include extreme fatigue, chills, headache, menstrual cramps almost daily, depression and painful urination.  I want my life back.  I have made 3 calls to my clinic and can't get past the front desk.  All I get told is there is nothing they will do about it until after I've had my 3rd shot.  Please,if your considering this shot, don't do it."


"My friend suggested this when I told her I had a yeast infection. I have burning, itching, and discharge. The discharge is so bad that I have a rash as well from how irritated my skin is. I got the Monistat 1 with the applicator and the exterior cream. I used it last night before bed, was up at 3:30 putting more cream on because I was uncomfortable. Then again at 5:30 and again at 9. I have no relief at all."


"They work!"


"Xyrem got rid of my pain significantly as well as the feeling of being drained.  I felt as if I no longer had fibro.  The side effects were difficult.  Still trying to work with those."


"I get very sore, swollen, cyst like spots around my chin area, I would only get 2-3 at a time but they were so big & sore! I used duac for a couple of years & this worked, until a few months back when it became less effective. My doctor mentioned Yasmin & thought I would give it a go despite it's mixed reviews & I am so glad I did! My skin has never looked so smooth on my face! I had one large spot a couple of weeks into using Yasmin (this was normal as I always got these at this time of month) however the spot was gone in a couple of days & usually they would be angry & sore for weeks! Since then, I have not had one cystic spot. I used to use microgynon 30 before I switched, & other than better skin, I have had no other noticeable affects"


"I've suffered from this condition my whole life. When I was younger people would always make comments on my hands. After years of begging I was taken to get it checked out. I'm amazed at the results. For the first time that I can remember my hands and feet are dry! The problem for me is the soles of my feet are itchy. Not just a slight itch, no, it's much worse. After a few days it fades. As a result of taking this it has caused my skin to peel from it's dryness."


"This is the absolute worst. I’ve had yeast infections in the past and always purchased store brand creams. This time around I gave Monistat a try and I hate it and my life. Not only have my actual symptoms not improved, but when I use it, it burns so bad.  It’s a mix of itching and burning. I’m going to buy the equate brand today."


"I have to post on this website, I started Enbrel and after 1 treatment I have considerable less redness already.  I am really excited to see what will become of my skin in a month! I will keep in touch."


"I would not recommend this to ANYONE. I have had bleeding in my urine for over two weeks and the doctors associated it with a UTI. After being given macrobid, and symptoms persisting they gave me septa. I took it for two days twice a day with food was fine, on the third day not so much. I began shaking uncontrollably, dry mouth, I was incoherent to the point I couldn't even understand what people were saying to me, heart was racing, I was dizzy, and extremely nauseous. It literally felt like I had been roofied (drugged up) . I don't even remember half the night and I had horrible insomnia.
 I don't even understand how this is on the market. Would never EVER take this again."


"I am having PCO problem for 2 years but when I started taking this medicine my periods were normal and I conceived within 4 months. The best medicine for women with PCO issues."


"It helped at first but stopped after one month. It may be better for teens."


"I'll just go cold turkey from here on out or try another smoking cessation method.  I'm on week 4 and have episodes of nausea everyday of the week thus far. Everybody says they enjoy the weird dreams. Dreams are always weird; that's why their dreams! Never mind the unrelenting fatigue as it still feels like I have been up all night. Therefore even the "vivid" dreams are forgotten by wake time because I'm too tired to remember. Then there's the foggy vision, unbalanced feeling and somehow I am still not put together right.  The plus side: It curbs the nicotine craving. Anyway, good luck to all!"


"So I barely got the IUD today. And it was the best decision ever. I read a whole bunch of other experiences so I freaked myself out, and went on youtube and just freaked myself even more. Honestly, the process of the insertion was not painful at all. My whole body was shaking because I was so nervous but it did not hurt. After I went home I started cramping a little. I got the IUD inserted at 1pm and Its almost 8pm and the cramps are a little painful but its nothing I cant handle. I would highly recommend this to any other girl who wants to get one. I am 22 years old and I had my daughter at 18, so I do not want children for a while because i am trying to focus on college and getting my degree so this was a perfect choice for me."


"I take Adderall XR 30mg 1 time per day, when I started I worked great as long as I took it before 12:00 noon, afternoon I was up all night, after about 3 months, I could not tell that I had taken anything, my Dr. added 1mg intuitive it seems to work ok, I am about to the 7th month and back to I can't tell weather or not I take it. I do not have a past of any dependencies or addictions (except nicotine) so I am not sure where I will go from here. All in all it is a good Med for ADHD. The only side effects are dry mouth and grinding my teeth as it wears off."


"I have been on trinessa for almost 2 years now and I haven't had any problems with it. I gained some weight at beginning but not too much. I started using it for acne and then was also using it for birth control and both work great for me. Recently I started getting a little acne back but I'm pretty sure its because of stress. Overall, does the job well."


"I started taking Cymbalta 6 months ago.  I know that they say this medicine can take about 3 weeks to kick in, however, I felt relief within hours of taking it.  Maybe it's some medical miracle or my body finally got what it needed.  I am a well educated woman who had a rough childhood.  I tried different anti-depressants over the years and never felt anything like this.  I stopped having suicidal thoughts.  The side effects were: loss of appetite and so tired that I had to lay down in the afternoon.  The only other medication I take is birth control.  I discovered the following:  If I take my birth control at night before bed and the 30mg Cymbalta in the morning then I'm not tired.  The side effects went away by the 12th week so hang in there!"


"I have had this in for a year now, so given this a fair chance. It was all good for the first few months but then started noticing my Breast always gets sore a week before my period. so sore that it hurts taking and putting a bra on, also increased weight gain I have went to a size 12 to a 16 in trousers and uncomfatable bloating regularly, noticing incresed cravings for sweet things they can be so bad!! Feeling tired a lot! I will be getting this removed soon as I can't bare it any longer"


"I had been placed on depression pill upon depression pill and I seemed to be on an emotional roller coaster, then I was put on 20 mg Paxil. I have been on it now for almost four years and it has helped me through some down times. I was able to get through it the past years and am so grateful for it."


"I have 4 kids and all of them had lice. My babies were miserable. Sklice was easy to use, and by the time I got the medicine in each of their hair, it was time to start washing out. Made this momma happy and my kids as well! Thank you Sklice!"


"I tried everything else on the market.  Nexium works, but not as good as dexiliant.  With Nexium I got most of the listed side effects plus my new insurance will not pay for nexium prescription . I had to buy it over the counter and take double dosage which came out of be about 46 instead of 23.   I really need prescription of 40 mg?   I am glad I do not have stomach pain, lower back pain, dry mouth, etc from taking nexium.   All the other acid reflux prescription or over the counter didn't work and gave me side effect . My new insurance will pay for dexiliant, but a small portion and I couldn't afford the $150 a month co-pay.  I found out that the maker of dexiliant with pay the remaining $130 for me and I just have to pay $20out of pocket"


"Zero relief from back pain.  But it provides a lot of relief for kidney stones, post surgery pain, bone fracture pain.  But lower back pain (non kidney stone pain), nothing."


"My daughter was put on Keppra when she was 14 months old & she walked like she was drunk after she started on it.  The doctor said not to ever give her Keppra again!!"


"Prescribed by ER doc for bladder infection. It's giving me dry mouth, diarrhea and bad gas but it's tolerable. Drink lots of water right after you take it."


"I have had my Implanon for 2 1/2 months now and I've had minimal side effects. I get slight acne on my forehead and my breasts grew a little. No weight gain, mood changes, or cramping during my period. However, my period itself is a bit of a problem. Since insertion, I've been having my period every other week and it lasts about 6 or 7 days. I can hardly tell I'm having them, but it interferes with my sex life (boyfriend is not a fan) and I go through a lot of tampons. I've also noticed that I spot or fully start my period after sex sometimes. However, I haven't had the Implanon for very long, so I'm going to give it more time for the hormones to balance out."


"Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) immediate release has greatly (95%) improved my symptoms of ADHD including concentration, focus, memory, attention span, retention of imformation, and to some extent my energy and grades. It's a very strong stimulant so it does have temporary side effects, most will go away in two-four weeks like euphoria, anxiety, and teeth grinding but the dry mouth and insomnia if taken late will not subside for months, but it has helped me A LOT."


"At the beginning, Kariva seemed to be working well, my skin started to clear up, lighter periods, and emotional stabilization. However, once I started my second pack, my emotional state felt off. I didn't realize that it could be the pill I was taking, so I continued to use it. I felt very depressed, and sad, and on the verge of crying most times. Once I told my doctor, I changed to Blisovi 24 Fe and my emotional state began to change in a positive way!"


"Taking for All over pain and arthritis from car crash. After suffering for 14 years of spine knee neck and wrist pain I was on tramadol and Co-codamol but was bedridden nearly everyday, Nhs changed me onto naproxen and I could potter about doing housework after three doses of 500mg with Co-codamol. I couldn't believe the difference after all the years of suffering! Hopefully get back to the old me in no time. Looking forward to all the ups and not so many downs."


"I was placed on Cymbalta for depression in 2006  worked generally for the most part for the depression then in 08 or 09 I found out that they were prescribing it for FM which I do have FM & Cymbalta did absolutely nothing for pain I've had no side effects from the drug at all none. In my research for new SSRI I came across Savella which is designed for FM & I did a less than 30 days switch over from Cymbalta to Savella with 0 adverse effects or side effects( this medicine is working both for the depression & the FM.) I am also taking oxycodone 2/10Mg every 4hrs (in a 24 tyme frame)-12 pills a day. I'm also taking Flexeril 10 mg 3x a day & ibuprofen 800 mg 3x a day, & Tylenol I don't take the Tylenol because of the deaths that occurred!"


"I used Liada for approx 1 month after a relapse of my Ulcerative Colitis. My doctor gave me samples of it. It worked very well. I had been on sulfasalazine for many years and was happy to find something else to take since I didn't have to take as many pills with Lialda.  That said, after the samples ran out I was given a prescription and when I went to fill it at the pharmacy, I was shocked to see it was going to cost me over $300 for one months supply and that was AFTER my insurance paid more than half of it.  I normally have a $5.00 copay so, needless to say, I am back on sulfasalazine and dealing with flareups again.  (I got a discount card from Shire so the prescription would only cost me $120 a month but that's still too much)."


"Excellent results within 24 hours, maybe less. Terrible knee pain, limping, no flexibility. Now, not quite ready for a 10K race, but happy to be where I am and very pleased with the results."


"Been on this medication for over 12 years.  Works well for me. Calms me down without the "brain zapping" I got from Paxil and Lexapro. Dosage has been adjusted throughout the years. I am told 60mgs a day is the maximum dose. I am currently on 15mgs 3 times per day.  It took a good two weeks to get into my system, and I remember thinking it wasn't working at first.  It's no Xanax, but it has helped me much more then Paxil and Lexapro did.  This works well for me, and I have no issues taking it for the rest of my life.  I do get some increased hunger and minor dizziness after each dose for about 15 minutes, but that beats being anxious and worrying all the time.  It is also pretty cheap."


"This medicine, combined with 15mg of Remeron (the sedating antidepressant) has improved my quality of life ten-fold! Ambien (zolpidem) works very quickly and puts me to sleep within 20 minutes; Remeron works more slowly and keeps me in a deep, restful sleep. I've tried both medicines in isolation, with limited success. Taking only zolpidem gives me a short sleep of  about 4 hours.  On its own, Remeron will put me to sleep for 7-9 hours but takes two hours to start working. The combination of the two is perfectly synergistic!  It's the "silver bullet" to my insomnia and low-grade depression, which I've had all of my 35 years. I've never been happier or healthier!"


"Doctor gave me 24mcg samples in February for OIC and the resulting anal fissures. We started at once daily, but it worked a little TOO well! Once we reduced it to every other day, things seem to be working properly."


"Very convenient, especially if your schedule makes it difficult to take a pill at the same time every day.  However, I found that NuvaRing changed the nature and odor of my discharge, which I was not comfortable.  I love the low dose hormones that it administers, but I ultimately switched to an oral contraceptive because I didn't like the changes it caused in my discharge.  It also seemed to make me more likely to develop a yeast infection.  Once I went off the ring, all those side effects stopped.    Also I had breakthrough spotting the ENTIRE first month I was on the ring."


"The writing on the package is so small. I do not know how many to take for the 12 hour cold and sinus. The product is good. Knowing how to take it is horrendous at best."


"I have recurrent back pain, and I'm currently experiencing an acute episode of back pain and sciatica. I was referred to a pain management doctor, who switched me from 40 mg Percocet per day to 30 mg Xartemis XR per day in the hopes that I could sleep through the night and wake up without extreme pain. After a week, I had to see him again because the medication is supposed to last 12 hours, but it starts to wear off after about 6 hours, and it doesn't relieve the pain well even when it is in effect. He gave me a prescription for 10 mg Percocet to take twice a day as breakthrough medication, so now I'm taking a higher daily dose with less effective relief. I'm asking about other options at my next appointment."


"I was prescribed Sprix for a severe fibromyalgia flare that lasted almost 3 months and nothing my Pain Management Dr. prescribed had helped.  I was prescribed Sprix and by the 2nd day I noted a considerable decrease in pain and by the end of day 4 the pain was gone.  I finished up the 5 day treatment and 4 days post treatment am still pain free."


"I switched to Cardizem from Toprol-XL. Cardizem tires me for about 3 hours, then I'm good."


"I've a degenerative spinal disorder known as syringomyelia (without Arnold Chirari mal) which was caused after an auto accident in which I was ejected from my car as it flipped. I suffered several fractures to the skull, sub-arachnoid hematoma (resolved itself) in addition to a broken spine. I was initially taking Norco 10/325 4 x daily, which worked fine at the time, then my Syrinx began presenting symptoms; mainly horrid pain at the site of it (C3-T2). Tramadol 50mg was added in addition to Zanaflex and Xanax for the accompanying exacerbation of anxiety, but still in pain. This medicine is short acting and not sufficient for SM sufferers."


"I have struggled with anxiety/depression/insomnia my whole life. Nothing ever had any noticeable effects until I was prescribed Celexa back in 2007. I was on it for years, then decided to try life without it and was tapered off. The thing about Celexa (and all antidepressants) is they work well in that you wont spend as much time crying and all that but they also inhibit you from feeling genuine euphoria! You just stay at a base-line. "


"My urinary tract infection symptoms were not nearly as painful as the side effects of this medicine. It cleared up the UTI in a day but by the second day, it was nausea, extreme fatigue, no appetite, joint and muscle pain, stomach pain and complete weakness, chills and fever. Pharmacist said it was probably the UTI. Now it's day 5 and I'm in agony. Stopping Macrobid and calling the doctor in the morning."


"I have had nexplanon for 7 months now and so far it's been great. Biggest change has been the breakouts, I was never one to breakout and now I do, I always have at least one pimple but never more than 3. I had mild spotting a week after it was put in and no period since, however, I did get a real heavy period that was nothing but brown blood (old blood) but no big deal. Overall, it's been good, I'll take a few zits over an unwanted pregnancy! I know everyone is different, I wish this worked for more women because it's so convenient to put it in and not worry. I would recommend everyone to try it at least and see how it goes."


"Severe burning and itching..... worst thing I have ever felt"


"I decided to share my experience to add a positive review about the Mirena IUD. I had my IUD inserted about a week ago. Going in for the insertion I was terrified based on all the reviews I read online referring to the pain. An hour before my appointment I took 800mg of ibuprofen, my gyno didn’t recommend anything else before the insertion. When the insertion started, I kept waiting for the worst pain of my life to come but it didn't. The pain was about 4/10, but I wouldn’t even consider it pain, uncomfortable may be a better word (sharp cramping but bearable) My period is already much lighter than usual to the point that I’m only wearing panty liners (I never had very heavy periods previously and I’ve been on the pill for about 5 years)"


"I was referred to GI Dr. due to years of constipation and unproductive trial after trial of every over the counter medication and whollistic remedy known to man, I surrendered and began taking approximately 4 times the suggested dose of OTC stimulant laxative. This went on for 3-4 years and I knew I was dehydrating when began to have cotton eye- (like cotton mouth).
So my GI doc prescribed linzess and it worked right away but unfortunately I didn't know it! Its weird, I had none of the normal sensations of a bowel movement but SHWOOSH there it was and there was no stopping it! It was too late before I even felt anything! Thank God I was home! I have a sensitive awareness of my body and its processes so its not like I have no feeling either"


"Holy Hell!  I suffer from chronic constipation, IBS and I have Diverticulosis.  I tried fiber products that you mix with water, chia seed, every laxative and nothing worked "right".  Laxatives gave me cramps and fiber gave me bloat. I took Linzess 145mcg and 30 mins later I literally exploded at least 8 times. Over a month I took it 2-3 times a week, couldn't handle daily. But I did lose pounds. From 142 to 128. It has helped me so much I love it! I've always been thin but my gut was growing. Problem solved. No more constipation! Highly recommend it, but stay close to a toilet."


"I began taking this medicine primarily to not get pregnant and a little for the acne part. I have not gotten pregnant and it really didn't do much for my skin. You definitely need to have food in your system when you take it, I figured that out the hard way. My only complaint on this is I have TERRIBLE mood swings with this medicine and it has worsened my already present anxiety and depression. I thought it was just me but other women I know taking this have said the same thing. Going to talk to my doctor about switiching during my next appointment because the moods are unbearable & affecting my relationships."


"I have vertigo, Meniere's Disease. When I have an attack it gets me out quick, it settles my daily symptoms I bite the pill in halve, just one mg once or twice a day takes symptoms away I would be disabled or dead without this medicine. I take lorazepam. If I go on caveman diet with no dairy, wheat, MSG high fructose corn syrup aspirin alcohol etc etc symptoms disappear after about six weeks but never completely and I carry the medicinr wherever I go."


"WORST BIRTH CONTROL EVER!!

I was taking this pill for a little over a year and yea, I gained about 10 lbs, and had breakouts, but the real issues were that it made me extremely irritable, emotional, as well as depressed, my sex drive became nonexistent, and I was having severe dryness, plus yeast infections. So I guess yes, it completely worked as an effective birth control, because I just didn't want to have sex, plus what boyfriend would want to have sex with their emotionally crazy girlfriend who is dry or having a yeast infection??

Honestly, I've been off of it for 6 months, but I remember even after the first week off, my body was normalizing, and I felt radiant :)

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PILL!! You've been warned."


"I had no problem inserting the ring and I was able to get it in far enough that I don't even know it's there.  So far it's been in for two weeks and the only side effect I've noticed is an occasional lower backache which has not been bad at all.  If this truly works I will be one happy camper.  So will my husband."


"My cardiologist added this drug to my other drugs I have been on and taking with no problems. Not even two days into taking Losartan I am experiencing side effects. I noticed I could not taste my oatmeal this morning, terrible whole body feeling of being so ill, stomach pains, sweating in my feet, blurred vision, not wanting to eat, wanting to throw up even after a sip of water, and feeling tired, dizzy, and buzzing in my ears to name a few.... and this is ONLY after two days of taking this med. I called my doctor and told them I do not want to and will NOT take this med anymore. Waiting for them to call me back right now.....had enough of these so called drugs that make me feel so absolutely horrible."


"Have had paroxysmal Afib since 1978.  Digoxin controlled my Afib reasonable successfully until summer of 2012 when the frequency and duration of my Afib occurrences increased to an event every two or three months.  Then in May 2013, I almost passed out during an Afib episode.  Switched to MULTAQ 400mg twice daily after being admitted to the hospital and my Afib has been under control ever since.  I notice some missed beats occasionally, but nothing like the random palpitations I had during Afib.  MULTAQ is working for me."


"Worked well!!!"


"1mg of alprazolam XR at night and sleep like a baby. No side effects, no need to increase the dose. It's a wonder medicine for me because I can't stop my mind racing. But this does."


"I have tried low dose doxycycline and Periostat to treat ocular rosacea but both cause me to have a severe headache which does not go away. Only Oracea, unfortunately, with time-release doxycycline, keeps the dosage constant enough to avoid headaches. However, I no longer have pain and a feeling of "grittiness" in my eyes.

Insurance covers some of cost (generic)"


"Very vivid hallucinations afterward. Used for chronic pain management and for anesthesia."


"I had mirena inserted on May 27th.... Terrible pain but only for a minute. My doc was quick and talked me through the procedure. Since the 27th, I have bled constantly. It is terrible ... I have an extremely heightened sex drive but the bleeding is getting in the way. My husband wants it out he said I was better off without it. I have been very moody and tired. Also notice a weird odor but no infection is present. Ugh."


"I started taking Lutera because I had bad cramps and my doctor recommended it. And it is by far amazing. I've been on it for a year now and I haven't gained any weight, I have less acne, and I don't crumple up on the bed for a straight week anymore! But for the past few months, the day I start my period week my emotions have been everywhere. Mostly with annoyance and frustration. I'd cry cause I couldn't get the lid off the jar of jelly. I would yell at someone cause they didn't hear what I said. It's only for the first few days I am on my period. (Sometimes it happens if I forget a day also.) Other than what is recent, Lutera is very good."


"Little if any pain relief. Stomach aches, headaches, and lethargic."


"Never take this drug. I am a healthy individual that had a bad experience with this drug.  I Received one shot because I had the flu. 1 week later I had burning pains running all through my body. They gave me a shot in my butt and its still sore 2 sweeks later. I had trouble sleeping, couldn't breath at night and thought I was going crazy. My resting heart rate went from 49-58 beats a minute. I don't know what this drug does to the body but its not good. You have mood swings from anger, confusion, weakness, coordination etc..... Please ask the doctor what they are giving you before they inject you. It could do more harm than good later."


"I was seen in the local ER, for uti, was taking macrobid,didn't work .so the ER doc gave me cipro 500mg twice day for five days.only side effect is weird dreams,and thirsty.this med works!!"


"I was given the Mirena on recommendation from my OBGYN doctor to treat constant bleeding.  I was advised that I could expect spotting throughout the first three months, but that after that it should be very light or non-existent.  Insertion was not horrible, but definitely not fun.  I bled for 4 months straight while on the Mirena, not to mention other not so fun side effects, like bloating, acne, and that awful smell (which they don't warn you about by the way).  I tried additional birth control pills on top of the Mirena, in order to stop the bleeding, but it only worked short term.  Finally I pulled the plug, quite literally actually.  Removal was painless and quick.  I opted for the Depo shot instead.  Miraculously the bleeding stopped!"


"I've only been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for like 2 weeks now I love it. I started the first day of my cycle, very skeptical at first about birth control in general. But I started my cycle, was two days longer than usual with extremes light bleeding the last two days, I guess you consider that breakthrough bleeding. Other than I have not experienced much side effects which I am so glad about. Other than being very emotional I'm already a ball of tears so it kind of made me extra sad but not to much. One day my feet were swollen...don't know if that's a side effect. But once again nothing serious. I'm hoping my breasts do up a size, or two. Definitely recommend for 1st time birth control."


"I find it does a good job. I have been on it (on & off) since 2004 for multiple sclerosis."


"I have been taking this medication for years. At first it was great it helped me a lot with my temper and sad feelings. I have had some ups and downs with it.  At one time I was taking 2.5 pills and was having trouble remembering things, and extreme trouble driving due to drowsiness. I cut back to one and tried to go off them but my moods started to swing out of control.  Now I am on one and half tabs, and am feeling depressed again.  My eyes are watery and I feel like crying a lot but that may be due to the fall coming on."


"My first day of Nuva Ring is today. I inserted it without a problem although I was scared at first because of course I thought it would "get lost". I admit, I feel tired and nauseous but that is probably because I have not been on birth control for 3 months since I was not sexually active during that time. I do hope it does not kill my sex drive. I am turning 25 in a week and am hoping that this birth control can be for me. I will post again when I have been a month with it."


"I have tried several different medicines for weight loss including Wellbutrin and Concerta. Nothing has worked nearly well as Belviq. I have lost 12 pounds in 4 weeks (started at high base of 230lbs). I have no desire to eat or over eat. Belviq really seems to reduce the craving for sugar and alcohol. Good luck to all, I think this is a miracle."


"After a major car accident two years ago, subsequent shoulder reconstruction surgeries and months of physical therapy, I am left with painful nerve damage in my shoulder. I tried many medicines intended for other uses but found to alleviate pain from nerve damage. But, they all made me ill. I also took hydrocodone until it started making me ill. A month ago, my doctor switched me to hydromorphone 2 mg, and it helped a little. When he upped my dosage to 4 mg every 4-6 hours, the relief was much greater and I've had no major side effects. It's not a medicine that I want to take for the rest of my life, but it is certainly helping now. I would say it relieves about 75% of the pain. I would recommend trying it if other medicines have failed you."


"I get recurrent sinus infections and oral medications make me too jittery. This nasal spray within a few minutes has me breathing through my nose again and helps relieve the pressure in my sinuses. My only complaint is the horrible burning and stinging felt when sprayed. Its worth it though."


"I started Paxil  to control anxiety.  The first brand was Auribindo. It worked about one month.  I was using less Klonopin. Then out of the blue I had a Panic attack that put me in the hospital overnight.  Then I switched generic brands to Zydus.  On my first dose I thought I would die.  It felt like I had overdosed. It happened within 10 minutes of taking that brand.  It was only 15mg.  I have now received the Dylan brand and will take it in the morning.  I say this for people who think the Paxil may not work.  You need to do a trial run on these no good generics.  I felt like I was dying plus so nauseated on the Zydus brand.  Hopefully the Nylon will work.  I am running out of brands to try."


"My anxiety peaked 6 years ago.  Not only did I dread social interaction of any kind (talking to co-workers, going out with friends, even being around my own family) but I had experienced a panic attack on the freeway which kept me from driving anywhere far from my home for two years.  I was extremely stubborn and didn't want chemicals to "change" my reality.  I finally had to admit to myself that my reality sucked - bad. I'm overjoyed to report that Lexapro saved me.  It took a month for me to realize I was greeting people in passing again.  I drive on the freeway again and love being around people.  Stick with it even if you feel "weird" at first.  You CAN have your life back!  I take it at night, the initial drowsiness helps me sleep."


"Dexilant is a God send! I experienced acid reflux out of the blue for the first time that was very severe. For three days straight regardless of the position I was in. My doctor gave me a sample of Dexilant and I felt better within hours, and by the end of the day my reflux subsided. I take 60mg every day, once a day and have been well. I did experience constipation for a few days, but it went away however my stool is not fully normal. The medication is more expensive then other ones on the market, but talk to your doctor and see if he will give you a months worth of samples to see how you feel before you get it prescribed. I eat lots of dairy and spicy foods and all is well."


"Mirtazapine worked for me.Or is it that my circumstances became more favorable in treating my depression? im slightly on the fence with the outcome, its made me incredibly level headded and monotone, boring even! Which is totally out of character for me.. this was alot better than not being able to cope with day to day life.. night one of taking a 15mg tablet  gave me a good night sleep however for the following 2-3 days i became very "strange" anxious and jittery..i think this was my brain adjusting to the meds. 6 months in im ready to stop taking it, if stacked on 7 kgs in the process which isny doing anything for my self esteem, not sure that this drug increased my appetite but gave me a who cares attitude and ill eat whatever i want!"


"So far not any significant changes. Still feel terrible, back pain, legs ache, upset stomach. "


"Received the first shot the end of June, within a week I started with a rash on my neck, red swollen and itched day and night. Second week started with red blotches on either side on my mouth, blistered and peeled and was painful and itchy. It is now over 2 months later and the redness is fading but the itching still is awful, wakes me up at night with the itching. I have tried everything with no relief. I will not be taking another shot."


"I have been on a 75mg of Elavil for over a year now for degenerative disc decease and 2 bad knees, it helps me sleep but the pain is still bad even with a morphine patch and oxycodone, but maybe my case is a rare one."


"I got on this birth control a month and a half after I had my first baby. Everything was fine and it worked well to help me not get pregnant until the depression started. The doctors thought I had PPD it was so bad I couldn't go 20 mins without having a panic attack. The doctors put me on depression meds also and that completely made me feel like I was on auto pilot. After reading everyone's comments inhere I'm convinced that my high anxiety and depression is caused from this. I will be stopping immediately. Take my advice, use condoms and don't let a birth control take your mental health."


"I have had this implant since December of 2015. It is February 2017 and I have had almost constant bleeding the whole time. At first it was for a few months then stopped for two weeks, and then I'd bleed for months. It ranges from just a spot to a full period. I can stop for a day but it hasn't been longer than a day since maybe October 2016. Friends have gotten it and stopped bleeding within 6 months but I'm going to my doctor soon because I'm fed up with this bleeding. It's been over a year and it hasn't stopped. Other than that I have not had any pregnancy scares or other issues such as weight gain or depression."


"Great for muscle spasms"


"I got the implant put in mid September and had it taken out in February five months later. The insertion was fine in the doctors office and did not hurt at all. Major bruising and tenderness was the only side effect. My doctor told me a few side effects and that most women get used to the implant within 4 months or less and bleeding goes back to normal. However I was on my period from the time I got the implant until the day I got it taken out. It caused me to have horrible mood swings and it made me very short with people. I noticed I got mad at little things and just was moody a lot. No other side effects. My doctor recommended it be taken out because I had not stopped bleeding. A great birth control but just wasn't for my body."


"I use Rozerem as a back up when my Halcion stops working due to overuse.  I find that the Rozerem definitely knocks me out for a good number of hours.  The only side effect is the feeling of a mild hangover in the morning.  But overall, it is a good back up to have in your arsenal when you suffer from severe insomnia as I do."


"I  smoked about 35 years.  Non smoker since August 1, 2012.  Quit in 4 days."


"I took it because it has a different mechanism of action than most benzos and its an alt to zolpediem (ambiem). But it really didn't do much of anything. I gave it a 2 because it had no side effects. Still, I didn't even feel drowsy after taking it. Big let down! Its expensive and totally ineffective..."


"This is my fourth month on Lexapro. I was having debilitating anxiety and phobias that interfered greatly with my life and my Dr said was causing me to be depressed. I never wanted to take a medicine before because I was too scared (anxiety) but I'm so glad my Dr talked me into it. Other people even notice a difference in me and say I just look better. I feel so much better. I'm not scared all the time and having dissociative thoughts. My fear kept me in bed because I couldn't make a decision but now I get up and do all the things I love again and I'm not so tired. The first few weeks were hell with side effects but I knew those would wear off and they did. You just have to stick it out. But then again, nobody knows how anyone will react."


"I am overweight by 50 pounds and my doctor prescribed me Belviq. I have been taking it for 30 days and I have already lost 15 pounds! This medicine is amazing and a life saver! If you are overweight and have not been able to lose it naturally like me, ask your doctor and get Belviq now. You will not be disappointed."


"Im a 29 year old woman who recently has voluntarily lost 40lbs (from 220) after having emergency gallbladder surgery that could have been prevented had i have chosen healthier/ less fast fat foods for years. Now i suffer from IBS with constipation & the pain from that brings me to tears. After trying everything else i grabbed ducolax pink & i couldnt believe it. It cleared my colon out & I lost 3 lbs of poo weight. I knew what to exspect (side effects wise) with this type of laxative. This works better than magnesium sitrate for me. I just felt the normal belly rumbles that comes with taking a huge poop. I even loved the fact it still worked the next day. I went to work and everything. I took 2 pink pills with a litre water at 8pm thank u"


"I had Liletta inserted a few days ago and the pain of the insertion was like no pain I've ever felt before, even if it did only last about five minutes. The cramps I'm having now are so INTENSE and nothing seems to alleviate them - not Advil or a heating pad. I didn't bleed at all, just a bit of liquidy discharge. Despite all of the pain and intense cramping, I'm hopeful that it'll be better than the pill."


"It works (5mg) VERY, VERY well for BPH! BUT I'm paying $270 every month because there's no generic, so I've had to skip doses or refills because I cannot afford to pay 270 bucks a month on top of all my other medicine!

When I do skip a month ALL of my symtoms of BPH return with a vengeance. Too bad Medicare won't pay part of it, nor will my Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska!

My brother has BPH & he pays $70 thri

Gotta figure it out why mines not covered"


"My experience with Otezla was brutal, I had extreme issues with the company itself it was as if no one was on the same page, some times the medicine wouldn't get there before I ran out and was being told 10 different things from their reps. Trying to get insurance to  assist did not happen. I would never recommend this product or co. My usage saw very, very, minimal results after 3 months straight. I saw maybe a 1/2 of a  percent change in appearance etc. And what they don't tell you is if you have to stop to taking this medication re: Can't afford it etc. Your Psoriasis will not only fully return but it sends it into Hyper drive creating way worse conditions than you started with."


"This drug is awesome. It is only my first day on it but I have to make a review. If you suffer from both Adhd and major depression, you need to try vyvanase.
I've been on Dexedrine, adderall xr, and adderall ir. All of them made me tired. So tired I couldn't function. On vyvanase, I don't get tired. Is this what life is supposed to feel like? Life is good."


"I've always had dermatitis on my scalp and face, but the rashes on my body started out as allergic dermatitis after it reacted to an antibiotic called Vancomycin. But then even after all my antibiotics, the rashes kept getting worse and worse. I got a biopsy done, and the results were that I had psoriasis form of dermatitis, which is similar to psoriasis. At first the dermatologist prescribed Clobex, but it only worked on my arms. I still use the Clobex shampoo for my scalp. After that, the dermatologist told me to try Olux. I've been using Olux for a couple of weeks now, and my body is clearing up, especially my back and thighs."


"Love this medicine. Great for bipolar and anxiety. I try not to use it all the time, it won't work the same if you take it all the time. This medicine is safe. I see some people have be on it for over 20 years!"


"Worst decision ever!  I have literally had my period every single day since about having it in for a month since Aug 2014 With maybe a couple days or a week here and there of breaks but right back.  Yes it has prevented me from getting pregnant but at this point sex is a complete turn off I get so embarrassed with the constant bleeding even though my partner doesn't care,  I can't even think about sex anymore. My doctor kept telling me to wait it out that the bleeding would stop eventually and almost 2 years later,  no thanks!!  Thankfully I will be having it removed the 21st. Never had any issues with depo."


"Yes, I am type 1 diabetic and I know Trulicity is for type 2; but my endocrinologist felt it was worth a shot (pun intended). My blood sugar was controlled but not very well, I mostly estimated the amount of Novolog I needed for meals and rarely used my glucose meter. I was constantly hungry and snacking, pretty much acting as if I wasn't diabetic. Over the past few years, I watched my A1C go higher as did my weight.
February 14, 2017 I began seeing my new endocrinologist who prescribed Trulicity. She administered my first injection at her office that morning. I'm not sure if it was the Trulicity, but later that evening I began having flu-like symptoms. Since, extremely decreased appetite, lost 20lbs, sugars are great! Love it!"


"I was diagnosed about a year ago and put on Onglyza. It worked well, keeping my blood sugar at a normal level. About 6 months ago my Dr lowered my dose from 5 mg once a day to 2.5 mg per day. Still great blood sugars. About a month ago he stopped all meds and my sugar climbed up, so back on Onglyza 5 mg once a day.

Last week my sugar went to 300-400, even my fasting levels. So today I went in an was immediately given a shot of insulin, prescribed Tresiba and an oral med with Metformin in it.

Can't figure out why Onglyza stopped working for me. But it did. Very unhappy now."


"Bactrim worked great for me, provided I drank lots of water, otherwise you can become dehydrated."


"Weight gain and fatigue."


"2nd degree burns on large areas, 3 weeks later you can hardly tell I was injured, almost made me look like a liar lol.. wish I had known about this amazing cream on previous accidents XD Neosporin can't touch this imo"


"I take this for my extreme anxiety disorder. Just 25mg alone will knock me out for hours. Personally it causes me incredibly vivid dreams, a lot of the time they are nightmares. Not sure if it's connected to the medicine, or it's just me. I do wake up feeling an extreme hangover. But it works really well for my anxiety at 50mg."


"Azelastine nasal spray has finally ended the stuffy nose and coughing that I've been dealing with forever. Taste isn't an issue if used correctly. It's much easier to wake up in the mornings without the never ending drowsiness that comes with some of the other antihistamines."


"I was put on 50mg for Anxiety and minor depression 3 years ago. I took it for 2 years, and have been off it for 1. I am about to start again at 20mg daily. It was really a life saver for me. It reduced emotions without touching intellect, and I found it much easier to just roll with things. Unlike other drugs, this one didn't cause cognitive impairment or "fog". I was clear headed and much less high strung. I was able to focus on work, get things done, and deal.  However, it should be noted that it doesn't select WHICH emotions it dampens..it dampens all of them. The result is that you can be somewhat "cold" in general. You fail to show empathy when you should. There are also sexual side effects. Orgasms lack pleasure."


"I applied this cream twice daily, after cleansing my face with Spectro Gel, and it works amazing! It has cleared up my face completely. All of my friends have noticed, too. I would recommend this to any teenager with issues with acne or pimples and blemishes.

Just make sure you apply it faithfully! Your blemishes, acne, and pimples will come back if you don't stick to your facial cleansing routine."


"I have been on 3 month birth control for 8 years. I have had various brand based on availability at various pharmacies. This is the first time I've had this brand I will specifically ask to never get it again. The packaging is HORRIBLE. It doesnt stay folded or compact (god forbid anyone on this pill travel or have to pack it away discreetly). I have never had this problem with any other generic brands.

The pills are also hard to get out since there is no firm leverage against the cardboard. One would think that for medication costing $200 (if no insurance) a reasonable package could be included. Lastly, the package says 'keep out of sumlight'. Well that is difficult when there is no way of folding the package and keeping it compact."


"Almost $1000 for a 5 gram tube!  The owners should be ashamed.  They'll get rich, and hopefully be able to take all their riches to the grave."


"UPDATE***I started on 7/24/17 230lbs and  today 8/7/17 I'm 219lbs. I'm up to 1.8 and I'm very nauseous and I'm hoping that it ends soon."


"I've been taking Contrave for just over 2 weeks and have had no side effects, other than not being hungry.  I have much more energy and have been exercising and keeping a food log.  I've lost 10 lbs so far, so I'm pretty pumped!"


"I went from my regular Othro Tri-Cyclen lo, to this version. It is by far one of the worst pills. While it did prevent pregnancy, I have been very moody, I could get angry or cry over the smallest things. This pill has had me depressed. My blood pressure is also unusually high, on top of that I've broken out on my face. This pill has me feeling unlike myself, I've never had problems until I started this pill. Never again!"


"Sleepy sleepy mental things mostly no complaints im greatful gtype 3a and on my way regardless of any side effects id recomend to anybody in need"


"The first time I took Saphris this feeling of panic came over me and I had to call someone to talk me down. I took it for 2 months for the 1st month it was ok but into the 2nd month I had such extreme anxiety that I couldn't leave the house and had to take sick leave from my job for a month. It didn't work for me."


"After 11 knee surgeries (one replacement) , shot 3 times, surgery to remove bullets, surgery to try to repair nerve damage in left leg, and numerous other surgeries, Oxycodone is the ONLY medication that kills the pain and allows me to get through the day.  Six months ago the doc reduced my oxy and added MS Contin for long term pain relief.  I prefer the oxycodone as the MS CONTIN (morphine) reduces energy level and make me groggy.  Oxycodone is an Awesome drug...too bad the "younger generation" use it to get "High".  Makes all of us that really need it, difficult to get it."


"I have been on this almost 4 years, but I do not remember any side effects when I switched over from a pill. I have had acne since I was 12 but now I get maybe one pimple when I'm on my off week. I have not experienced weight gain that I attribute to the patch. My main complaint is my libido does not exist anymore and sometimes I get moody, but I feel like that is normal for women. I personally have had a great experience with it and am thankful that it has been free for me! The application area is itchy sometimes but it's not a huge inconvenience."


"This works and works very fast. It clears my acne completely in anywhere from 2-5 days, depending on how bad the outbreak. It's shocking how fast it works. I'm 43 and over the years tried everything to clear up bad cystic acne. My diet is fantastic, lots of fruits and veggies/no processed food. Tried every topical product out there,  vitamins, you name it. I always break out and always get immediately clear with minocycline. I will keep trying non antibiotic approaches,  but so far,  nothing else comes even close.

I tried doxycycline twice.   As another reviewer said,  it took much longer to do what minocycline does for acne."


"Have been on blisovi Fe 1/20 pill for 2-3 years. I had ups and downs on it, but mostly downs. Had very bad anxiety, mood swings, and low sex drive/libido. Now most recently, have been experiencing bad dryness making sex more unpleasurable. Worked at preventing pregnancy though."


"I suffered for over 5 years in an episode state, I was diagnosed bipolar schizoaffective in January of 2008. Was prescribed Abilify for the schizoaffective disorder and Zoloft for the bipolar disorder the combination of the two has changed my life. I'm not homeless anymore and am able to hold a part time job to support myself. "


"The round pills make me sick.

The oblong seem ok to me"


"I have Asthma so maybe it makes it worse . But it came on suddenly with no fever. No change in pulse . Just a cough that hurt the back of my head so bad that it rattled my brain and made me see fireworks in my head .  I don't think this z pac worked for me because after laying in bed no energy for 1 week I went to the doc again . This time he prescribed Bactrim and it seems to be working - I'm feeling better.  The doc asked if I had a loose stool , no I didn't but my BF has the same symptons and a very loose stool . I just wish he would go to the Doc so we don't pass this back and forth ..Arithamyicin has worked for me in the past but not with whatever this supercough is.  Its feeling like nothing ever before  is ... I just wonder how contagious it is"


"I have been on this birth control for 4 months now. I plan on switching as soon as I can. I would not even get through my 21 day pack before I started spotting bad. I'm currently spotting now because the time change through my vacation has apparently messed it up even though I've been taking them the same time. I got on the birth control to help lighten my cramps and flow, but I have yet to experience that."


"I like this inhaler except for the ridiculous dose counter.
It's only worth a 4 rating for that.
Who in the world thought this counter would be better?
"


"The itching and scaling went away after one day of using this treatment. I am very pleased with this drug. I just hope that my condition doesn't become immune to it as it did with all the other OTC treatments I've used."


"Honestly, I know it's hard for anyone with a mood disorder to take hormone-related birth control, but this was the worst experience I ever had. I have moderate anxiety disorder, and after a week of being on this pill, I had severe panic attacks. Worse than I've ever had them. I couldn't control myself and was shaking and extremely dizzy and it felt as if the world was going to end. I always get sick after anxiety attacks but that one was the worst. I couldn't eat for a day or two. I know different medications work differently for everyone, but that by far was the worst reaction I've gotten. Going to try non hormonal from now on."


"So far I have lost a pound a day using this. I do crossfit in the mornings and I eat under 1800 calories a day. I also drink a gallon of water and get 8 hours of sleep everyday."


"I read a lot of reviews so was so scared cuz it seem like a bad pill but honestly I love it so much the only side effect I have is dizziness & nauseous but they are minimum after that I feel good. I have been on this pill for a week Today I will report after I finish my pack. BTW this is the 1st birth control pill I ever take"


"I was 1 cm dilated with soft cervix. Cervidil inserted at 8:30am, after 2 hrs no change. Sent home. At 2:30 started getting contractions quite far apart. At 6am no more contractions. At 6:35am very intense frequent contractions which seemed to come up through the rectum/colon. The contractions became quite aggressive. Epidural started at 7am. The contractions still coming through the colon could still be felt for quite some time and the cervidil was still not removed. I was not dialated enough to deliver until after 3pm. 11 days later I still have colon spasms and tenderness. Extreme pain during bowl movements."


"I started taking Lyrica 4 months ago. I am always anxious when taking a new medicine as I am also on Paxil, which is horrible if I do not have a dose within 24 hours. Within an hour I felt 'weird' like I do if i miss a dose of Paxil. That feeling subsided throughout the day. Over the next days I did feel quite vague and forgetful (like I couldn't remember my bank account number, which I use daily). Again I persisted, taking 75mg twice a day, on waking and then at 2pm. I noticed an increase in energy and a decrease in pain. "


"I was diagnosed with strep, nasal infection, and a ear infection about 5 days ago. I took cefdinir as directed for 5 days and saw little to no results. Some side affects for me that were not listed were my stool smelling of the dissolved pill and also my urine."


"I was first prescribed this while on vacation in Australia.  It helped immediately.  So, I asked my doctor in the U. S. to prescribe it, so I could have it onhand for bladder infections.  Was lucky to have it yesterday, Friday, at 5 p.m. after the doc was gone for the weekend and a bladder infection came on!  The pain, burning, and pressure subsided in an hour or two, and it's only a 3-day treatment protocol.  The side effects for me are just a little feeling of fatigue.  Highly recommend!"


"I started the shot in June. The first month I spotted and when it was about the time I get my period it got a little heavier for two days and back to spotting for 2 more weeks. I've had heavy periods since I was ten, I don't have fibroids just bleed really heavy. I recommend this shot if you have heavy periods. We don't use any other contraception and no pregnancies here. The only reason I give it a 8 is because it made my anxiety come back. This is a secret weapon and I think a lot of the negative reviews are just women who want to keep the depo shot secret to themselves. Give it a shot but also some time for your body to adjust to it."


"This medicine is way too powerful for my issue. I was attacked by bedbugs and given this prescription for itching. I am overly tired, get dizzy spells, and have had consecutive nightmares. It works if you plan on spending the next 24 hours at home."


"My grandson has silent seizures and has been on Lamictal for about 3 years. He is 16 years old. He started off on a 100mg a day. He was increased to 200mg daily. His seizures has stopped but he has lost a lot of weight. I discussed this with his doctor and he said it wasn't the medication. I had already done some research and saw that it could be a side effect. He told me to take him to his family doctor. When I took him to his family doctor she said it was the Lamictal. He also has terrible acne, has a hard time concentrating, has a hard time expressing himself and has severe constipation to the point he has bowel incontinence. He has had several problems with anger issues. These symptoms started when they upped his medication."


"I did increase in awareness but the grades are still the same for me."


"Buspar (or buspirone hydrochloride) works very well for me.  I have severe social anxiety and i never could talk to people.  It's still weird sometimes talking to people but i don't feel as nervous while I'm talking or when people i don't know start a conversation with me. I was taking xanax before but that wasn't working. Buspar works much better and is much safer in my opinion. I take 60 mgs a day,  15 mgs in the morning,  15mgs in the afternoon and 30mgs in the evening. It's very effective."


"I have suffered several types of chronic psoriasis, including the life threatening form for 50 years. After developing severe disability from Psoriatic Arthritis I gave in to taking this drug, my skin is 90% improved, inflammation much better, but still have high inflammatory markers in blood tests. Now on steroids. Nausea still persists so I take folic acid."


"Made my asthma better."


"I was recently diagnosed with AS at 35, after developing severe iritis in both eyes following my hysterectomy. My inflammation was so severe, my eyes swelled shut! After rounds of testing, everything came back normal. Then my severe lower back pain, and everything that comes with AS came on fast and I got iritis back in one eye!! I could not walk, bend or sleep without crying and kept gaining weight! Finally they tested me for the gene, it came back positive. After seeing a specialist this past April, I began a variety of testing and was officially diagnosed! I started humira in May and wow, I sometimes forget I have the disease!! I lost 12 lbs in the first 2 weeks and now, not much pain. I am very thankful for this treatment and coverage!"


"So my mom bought me the 3 day pack. As soon as I inserted it up my vagina I was like "okay this isn't so bad." However, It only took about 10 seconds before I could barely stand and I felt INTENSE burning throughout my whole vagina. Worst pain ever. It's been about an hour and it's finally calmed down somewhat.. after I got all my anger and tears out. Probably annoyed the crap out of my mom and made her feel bad for buying it. Oh well. So anyway.. Don't use this. I'm sure there are other options that are less painful. I'm going to the gyno tomorrow to get a prescription so ADIOS you'd crappy medicine. DAMN IT I just felt another sharp burning pain."


"I was prescribed premarin 1.25 right after a total hysterectomy 11-1983.  This was to help avoid at age 32 hot flashes, dryness in skin and hair, and protect my bones.  Personal dryness.  I took it for 20 yrs.  Then when the doctors thought I was having a heart attack in in 4-2004 they took my off of it cold turkey. in 2-2009 I was found to have stage 1.5 breast cancer.  Cancer dr. told me it was from taking premarin for 20 yrs.  Should only been prescribed no more than 7 yrs.  The cancer was caused by extra hormones.  Extra hormones was driving my endometriosis that was the cause of removing everything in 1983.  My cancer dr. said with my family background I was lucky never to had a major heartattack."


"After a few weeks of taking this my blood sugars came right down and have stayed low."


"On day 7 of 10 of taking Metronidazole and i still feel like shit! Being treated for a parasite that was making me feel awful but not this awful! I know in the long run this will be beneficial as the parasite will be gone however, taking for ten days is exhausting. I have had to take the entire week off work. Side effects include stomach pain, nausea upon movement, brown urine, back pain, fatigue. And the foul taste!!!! People really haven't exaggerated the taste - it is vile and constant! Can't wait to be done!"


"I started on Blisovi after the Junel brand switched to it, and before Junel it had another name. Contrary to most of the other reviewers, I have had a fairly easygoing time on this pill. No mood effects that I've noticed, no abnormal weight gain. and my acne is bad but it was that way before the pill- Blisovi has made it neither better nor worse. My periods are around 4 days. However, it has definitely caused nipple sensitivity/tenderness, so that's an issue as I'm in a long term relationship. That's the only side effect I've experienced thus far."


"When I first started taking ortho lo, my moderate acne cleared up! My periods were SO much lighter. However, adjusting to this pill was hell. Mood swings, crying, psycho basically. After 6 months, I was fine. 5 years later and I am still on, never got pregnant, no acne, light periods, very moody during PMS but no cramps. I think it is worth it for sure. I have gained weight however I started at 17 and am now 22- college probably made me gain those few pounds."


"I suffer major depressive disorder, anxiety and insomnia, also a recovering alcoholic.
I was taking this medication for years to stabilize my moods.
I found it helpful at 20mg, I did go down to 10mg at one point and realized I needed the 20mg.
I am switching to a SNRI because although cipralex is a good medication, it numbed me out. Not feeling happy, not feeling sad. So the Dr suggested a SNRI (Effexor) because there is less numbing effect.
It did help me in early sobriety thought.
No side effects whatsoever."


"It worked great for the first few Months but then I felt bloated and constipated 24-7 and it got to an extreme back and forth to the bathroom 30-40 times a night trying to pass gas, etc. I stopped taking Linzess and started on IBGuard Peppermint oil and the sensation I've been living with is gone! I feel the best I've felt in 20 years."


"I have been on Invega 6mg for about 3 years now.  I have gained about 70 extra pounds, and nothing I do seems to drop the weight.  Also it messed with my periods so much that I had to have a hysterectomy.  But it does keep my moods stable for the most part.  I think its time for me to start a new medication though.  Because when I do have outbursts they are really bad.  And the depression is still here."


"I suffered for years with migraines,  I have lost intire weekends and days from these headaches. Relpax  is  a life saver , I had times I thought I wanted to die during these headaches . No more , don't have to suffer anymore get the script. It works. Does make you pee alot"


"I have tried so many different birth control pills for so long and could never find the right one. Then tried Minastrin Fe. I'm very pleased with it. It does make me a little more hungry. But I am aware it's only a side effect and ignore any extra appetite I may feel. In general it's a good pill!"


"This worked well for me at 40 mg/day. My doc said it was ok even though only 20 mg is the suggested max.

Although it really helped with my MDD, I also had tremors in my hands. They were problematic enough tat I stopped the drug.

Back on old reliable Zoloft 150 ... Works fine!"


"I went to my doctor for general eye irritation and most likely an incorrect fitting of my current contacts which is causing eye irritation.  I was prescribed Lotemax, 1 drop in each eye, 4 x day.  Obviously Lotemax is a steriod.  I have NO history of anxiety or mental illness. After first day I noticed I was having weird thoughts that I couldn't get out of my head.  In the days that followed, I started to have SEVERE anxiety with full blown panic attacks.  I was scared to be around my husband and my children worried that I might cause them harm or them harming themselves, or somehow being subjected to harm... my worst fear.  I was manic with worry and paranoia and cried repeatedly. I stopped the meds and the symptoms started to disappear."


"I was prescribed Ambien for insomnia. It later became a problem as I continued to build a tolerance for it. I am no longer taking and have been off the medicine this week. Following are reasons that I stopped taking it. I lost my job, got arrested, picked up a felony charge for prescription fraud, among other consequences due to my dependency on the drug. In short, DO NOT TAKE ANY FORM  of Z -PILLS. I lost a very good job with the government and can no longer return to the job due to Ambien and Lunesta. I have a master's degree and still cannot find work due to the felony charge. Please take it from me, this drug will progressively ruin your life. It should be taken off of the market."


"I am diagnosed with a type of "Meralgia Peresthetica", a Neuropathic pain in my right leg.  I also get pain "breakthrough" where pain attacks can reach up to 10 on a pain scale.
I started Lyrica last year, and now am on 225Mg twice a day and have the same amount of pain control as the Gabapentin, but at a much lower dose.  My wife says that I am much more "aware" and "responsive" on Lyrica and my short term memory issues are not quite as severe, however still there. My weight gain has ceased, however I am having a tough time trying to lose all the weight I have gained."


"I feel relatively "up" compared to how my lows used to be.  My up times seem more productive and I have gained some interest in things I used to do i.e. painting.  My lows still put me in a horrible state but I do not cry constantly like I used to.  I am very happy with Wellbutrin."


"Tried every type of diet Nutrisystem, met fast, Atkins, and dozens of diet pills.   I researched belviq and qsmyia and my doctor and I decided to go with belviq because I don't like what phentermine makes me feel.

In exactly 3 months starting belviq, I loss 22 lbs and 5 inches in hips.    Exercise was same on belviq with other diet routes.     Pre belviq and thus might sound strange my stomach was always growling for food. My brain new I was full but my stomach was deaf.

Not only am I losing weight pretty much effortlessly, my insomnia issues and waking up every couple of hours has diminished greatly and another perk is that it's the best antidepressant I have ever had!!!"


"I just started taking this medication daily at night bc I just can't sleep at all. It has been a month now and I can finally sleep all night. I feel great to get my life back in order with no side affects thus far and feel much happier. Heaven sent for me. Love my neurologist."


"I had my first UC flare end of March lost 40 lbs and was bleeding so badly I was hospitalised on IV prednisone for 7 days. My symptoms remained. I've been on 40mg Prednisone for 4 weeks now together with lialda. I finally stopped bleeding 2 weeks ago, but it has not been a fast process wonder drug for me. My doc took me off lialda because she is not convinced it is working. I am still on 40 mg prednisone and pain is still there not as severe though and I go 3-5 times a day and about the same in the night.  Side effects weight gain on belly and moon face, peeling skin, neck and leg pain, heart palpitations and hard time sleeping."


"I have not experienced any decrease in pain and I have had trouble sleeping, feeling constantly drowsy and find it difficult to concentrate at work. Have had some instances of irritability."


"I was prescribed chantix by my Dr.when I wanted to quit smoking.I've been smoking for yrs.To make a long story short,all was going fine for the first 2.5 weeks&then I woke up one day&had severe allergic reaction.I had welts all over my body,from head to toes.I called my Dr.&got into see her that same day&She gave me a shot in her office&a prescription for the itching.After taking one of the pills&a cool shower,I laid down to rest.After about 30 minutes of laying down,I sat up&the itching was still severe,but I couldn't catch my breath&my voice was barely there.My bf wanted to call 911,but being stubborn I agreed to driving me to hospital,where they gave me IV benadryl&the welts got better.Worst experience ever.Be VERY careful with this med."


"I have been on Sinemet for at least 15 years. I have not had to raise the dosage due to augmentation as of yet. This is the very first medicine I tried for restless legs syndrome and it works so well for me I don't feel the need to try the newer medicines. I have had restless legs syndrome since my teens and am now hitting 60."


"Wow. Started to get some major symptoms of TMJ this morning. I've never had to deal with it until today. The ibuprofen (Advil) did an amazing job at reducing the pain and discomfort. Granted, any medication that deals with TMJ helps temporarily and the root cause will need to be addressed. I believe that since my night guard got bent slightly and that I grind my teeth, the possible change in bite with the night-guard and overall grinding contributed. Having the dentist readjust my mouth guard should help do the job. A warm compress also helped me as well."


"I've taken Yaz for 3 months now and it has cleared up 90% of my acne. All I have left are some tiny clogged pores which are clearing. I have adult acne and tried every OTC, prescription, and expensive creams, microdermabrasion etc and nothing worked. Previously intolerant to the pill, but on Yaz I'm calm, happy, no problems. Be warned, the first 6 weeks your face will look horrendous, worse than ever,  but it gets so much better."


"Omg awful tablets! made me cramp at 2am  which woke me up and then the drama started. Drink water and try a more natural approach! ..No way I could take this daily! its not a nice feeling! and tad nauseated."


"Cold sores last up to 1 week to even 2 weeks if you don't use treatment. By using Abreva, you can shorten that time to around 4-6 days. Abreva isn't used to lower your cold sore nor get rid of it completely after only a couple of uses. It's used to shorten the length of your cold sore, very effectively."


"I've been meaning to post my positive review of Zoloft for a while. This past summer I suffered probably the worst social anxiety I had ever encountered in my life. I had started a new job where I was expected to speak to others on a daily basis. It was gut wrenching. I fell apart, crying, screaming, and forcing myself to go to work. Even when I was at work I would hide in the bathroom and pee incessantly out of nervousness. Finally I found a good psychiatrist and got back on Zoloft. I had been on Zoloft 50mg earlier in the year, but stopped because I feared it might affect my fertility. After meeting with the shrink I was upped to 200 mgs gradually. Since then I have been so happy and full of life. This drug really has worked for me."


"I never write reviews, but after seeing everyone else's experience I thought I would have to share mine. I was taking these for BV, which I had for a while as I was too embarrassed to go to the doctors. They work wonders on getting rid of the BV. Around day 5-6, I was suddenly hit with cold/flu like symptoms. Stuffy nose, headaches, dizziness. As its close to Christmas I thought I had just come down with a cold. But then I started feeling nausea, exhausted, waking up through out the night and not being able to sleep. I even had to leave work early one day because I couldn't function much! I just decided to google the symptoms of the drug, and wow! Who knows one little thing could bring in so many side effects!"
