"I have suffered from asthma for over 20 years, almost died twice. I have been on all types of inhalers yet nothing seemed to work. I finally was put on Dulera which was better than other inhalers I have experienced but it was too expensive. So I saw the commercial about Breo and told my Doctor about it. My Doctor checked the ingredients and found they were similar. So I have been on Breo for about 9 months now and I finally see what it is to not have asthma. I have not had any Astoma attacks since being on the medication. On top of that,  I have seasonal asthma and I have not had any flares ups either. This inhaler saved my life and I have had not had any side effects!
Truly Amazing!! The best out there!"


"I am new to the birth control but I'm 18 years old and decided to give it a try. I have pretty bad acne and I heard that this pill could help. For the first two weeks my acne was a lot worse but I'm on the third week now and it's all cleared up now. I take the pill at night so I don't get tired during the day and it helps me sleep like a baby! I didn't have any nausea or mood swings, although a few times I have gotten more aggravated at little things people do. I was super horny the first week but that has dialed down a little bit but not enough that I have no sex drive. I have been a little bloated but I haven't gained weight. I wish that my breats would grow more than they have. All in all, a great pill for me."


"Great for urticaria, but very drowsy effects.  Take at bedtime."


"This medicine has given me my life back.
Prior to Synthroid: blood pressure spikes, panic, anxiety, insomnia, sweats, rapid heart rate, massive headaches, neck ache, muscle soreness, fatigued, weight loss, my nails would rip off, my skin was flakey etc. After two days and very SEVERE muscle pain I woke up on the third day a brand new person. One month on 50 mg and I was back to my normal self again. I was even able to exercise and paint my bedroom and was pain free the next day. My levels are still a bit high so it was raised to 75 mg a week ago and I just feel better and better.
All medicines are not for all people but this one has worked for me. I have long nails again and my dried out hair has taken a new life! LOVE it!"


"I have tried numerous medicines and natural alternatives for inflammation related to Lymes Disease. Have had a variety of ailments since 2009 including neck/back pain, rashes, hives, fatigue and muscle weakness to name a few. Prednisone has been the only drug that has significantly improved these symptoms. I take it when I am experiencing the " Herx" reactions of Lyme. Works very well for this!"


"Horrible. I would not recommend this to my enemy. I went through menopause 7 years before using this and all the while I stayed at a steady weight, no problems with weight gain. I used Estring for 3 months and gained 10 pounds. I think it did something to my hormones. Gaining weight wasn't the reason I stopped using it. I could not bear the extreme breast pain and and persistent abdominal cramps. I will never use anything like this again."


"I've been on a combination of Westhroid and Nature-throid due to the shortages for a couple months now.  Gradually been upping the dose and FINALLY today after yesterdays increase my abdominal bloating is down! I've been afraid to "up" my dose in fear of not getting enough supply. But the bloating was so bad- none of my clothes fit -and I looked 8 months pregnant that and other non abating symptoms forced me to up one more grain and voila! Now, the other fear is will my doctor "freak" out? last labs showed low end free T's and a very suppressed TSH- which as we know makes dr's go nutty. But it does appear Westhroid is a bit easier to get.  "


"I was a walking mess, until I got introduce to this miracle pill. I started off with 75 mg. My doctor notice a little difference in my speech and personality in general, so he upgrade to 2 pills of 75 mg. So now I'm up to 250 mg. a day...I'm doing very good. .love the ppl. who invented this medicine, btw I'm taking it with clonazepam 0.5 mg 3 times a day, I also have p.t.s.d, I'm doing amazingly gr8. Thank you Jesus #Amen God is good. ..Good luck with your struggles. ."


"I developed terrible heart palpitations on Lexapro and had to stop using it. Unfortunately the heart palpitations are still occurring even though I have been off the drug for almost 3 months."


"I have been on the medication for the last 7 days for chronic constipation and gastrointestinal pain.  It has produced daily bowel movements in the form of diarrhea or very loose stools.  However, it has also resulted in unbearable abdominal and intestinal pain, nausea, gas, disintention, bloating, inability to eat, intestinal gurgling and intestinal spasms that last 12 full hours after taking this medication.  I was so hopeful that this would be effective and it has produced daily stools (diarrhea and loose stools)  but at the compromise of feeling 10x's worse than I have felt not have any bowel movements or minimal bowel movements before taking this medication."


"This broke my appetite especially for junk food. Lost weight at 5mg/day. Made neck skinny!
Increases the potency of gliperide. Only take 2.5mg Trajenta and 5mg gliperide with pill cutter. 90-100 blood sugar with much decreased spikes after meals, almost as if it repaired my body's regulation. Exercise daily. Better than Metformin, can have 1 beer now. Gas is worst current issue (from gliperide)."


"After a year on Sporanox, my badly infected and painful toenail grew out. Odd part is having the infected toenail and other, minor, medical conditions for 30 years; Sporanox cleared up many other conditions. The doctors said not possible, however, I know there is a connection.  Heart arrhythmia, gone; non healing nose/anal fissures, gone; facial/scalp/pubic psoriasis plus mucus membrane inflammation gone for treatment duration, but back after year.  A year later, the original nails were still clear, but different nail infected with peeling, scaly, skin across 1/3 of my foot.  Strangely it didn't get worse.  Back on Sporanox. Seems to be clearing both conditions. The returning problems above also vanished when restarting Sporanox."


"Great ...I'm not pregnant."


"This is the ONLY medication that works!"


"Zithromax was given to my daughter for upper respiratory symptoms 3 days before her flight to Fla to visit grandparents. Within the day noticed a great difference. No side effects and she has a heart condition. My lovely daughter passed her buggies on to me been fighting it for a week. Went to doctor today, gave me the same thing.... Fingers crossed."


"I cannot take antidepressants, so I was put n Xanax and then Ativan as needed. I have general anxiety without anxiety attacks and sleep okay but wake early. Dr. Recommended Clonazepam to take as needed. I take 0.5 mg. most days plus at night. Takes the edge of daytime anxiety and helps me sleep well at night. Dr. Said that the low dose I take should not cause problems if I stop and I have no withdrawal symptoms if I do not take any. I also do regular exercise which greatly helps my anxiety and a drink at night can help too."


"This medicine is a God-send. I am not overly hungry on it...in fact, I have started losing weight. I have only had a little nausea, but it just seems like my stomach is weaker (aka I get more car-sick, or more queasy when hungry). I fall asleep 2 hours after taking this, so it helps me sleep, but I don't have to pass out right away. Barely any akathesia, hardly any agitation, happiness, and energy. I have started reading, working out, eating healthy again. I'm going back to school. It doesn't dull my senses or cognition so I'm still intelligent and aware. I'm on 40 mg right now and it's enough to hold back the voices and paranoia. The only frustrating thing about it is that you have to take it with 350 calories or it absorbs less."


"I have been on Risperdal Costa for over two years now and find it to be a life saver. I feel like I have my life back in order and my mind back in order. The only side effects I have experienced are decreased sex drive and weight gain."


"Aching or discomfort in the lower legs or sensation of crawling in the legs, unusual tiredness or weakness, dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness when getting up suddenly from a lying or sitting position, muscle pain or cramps."


"I had unprotected sex and he came in me twice. I was freaking out so he bought me the plan b. I know most freak out about it not working, but believe me relax. Three weeks after taking the pill, I got my period. I had no symptoms, but I did have weight gain and I craved food all the time.  But  during those three weeks were very stressful. But try not to stress. Think about other things and go on with your daily life. Things do end out ok in the end."


"I have been on primidone for 10 years, I'm 34. I take 250mg twice a day. No longer works. If I increase the dose anymore I'll be a zombie. About to start Gabapentin, time will tell."


"I lived in torture for years after back and neck surgery failed. Like a fool I refused to take narcotic medicine until I started studying their intrinsic effects on people. For the past 4 yrs I've been taking Oxycontin, now 320 mgs/day, and I can only thank God for these little green miracles. I've never felt "high" on them. I take them to function, PERIOD.

"


"I am scheduled for knee replacement in a few weeks and my doctor prescribed Celebrex for me to take daily starting the day before surgery.  I have been suffering with osteoarthritis for years.  I am only 57 years old but my knees are so bad I walk like I am 90 years old.  In addition to my knees I suffer with joint pain all over my body.  I filled my prescription using the Celebrex discount card that I received from my doctor.  My co pay with insurance was only $4.00.  Without the discount card it would have cost $50.00.  I decided to try the Celebrex now disregarding my doctors instructions. My very first day of taking Celebrex I noticed a big difference in my joint pain.  I am on day three and my pain is much improved.  Thank God!"


"I got my liletta May 28th, 2017. I have never been pregnant or had sex before, so insertion was uncomfortable and painful. The pinch on the cervix hurt, but the foreign object holding open my vaginal opening hurt more for me. Post insertion, pain subsided after about 45 minutes and I felt fine. I was mid-menstrual cycle when I got mine inserted. Days following, cramps began to develop every day and light bleeding followed.  I lost my appetite, and felt sleepy all the time. Light bleeding (only had to use light tampons) was consistent and cramps got worse and occurred every day. (Cramps are the worst part by far) At about 2.5 weeks after insertion, I began to feel some mood swings and had acne breakout. Symptoms still occurring 5 weeks out."


"I've used Reclipsen since I was 16 and have never had any problems. Most importantly, I've never gotten pregnant. It helped with my acne as a teenager, and I've never experienced mood swings. Periods are light and very regular. I gained a little weight in high school and college, but this is probably due to many other factors (quitting sports, not exercising, eating poorly, etc.) as opposed to the birth control. Both of my sisters have also switched to Reclipsen after experiencing mood swings/other problems with other birth controls and have seen good results. Highly recommend."


"I'm 30 years old and have been on the birth control pill since I was 14 years old due to endometriosis. I've had slight side effects from different pills I have taken but this one by far is the worst. I'm on a higher dose of my antidepressant to counter act the mood swings but it sure isn't helping the weight gain or acne. Also, I've had two full blown periods since starting this pill 2 months ago. For me, the weight gain and acne isn't worth it. For my husband, he was looking forward to "no periods" but that ain't happening! Don't take this pill."


"I have had two plantar fasciitis surgery, I have a broken clavicle with a plate and screws both my knees have no cartilage one was scoping done but didn't help after a few days taking this medicine I feel like a new person I could chase her on my three year old I Dread day I have to stop. I have to take pain meds every day in order to do my job I love my life but gets tiring thank God this medicine for short-term helps"


"I started Trulicity 0.75mg in December of 2015 along with 1500mg of metformin. My A1C was 9.3 at that time. My weight was 170lbs. It is now July 2016, my A1C is 6.2 and my weight is 145lbs. I lost a lot of weight, simply because I don't eat much now. Trulicity definitely helped with A1C and weight loss, but it totally destroyed my appetite. For this reason, I feel tired, fatigued, dizzy and lightheaded. My doctor reduced my metformin to 500mg a day extended release. I was taking the regular metformin before, will see how I do with 1 a day 500mg extended release...Diabetes totally sucks! Ughhh. I hope they find a cure for it soon. Best wishes and good luck everyone! I will update you on how I do with this new change."


"So I have terrible allergies, which most people on here say they do. I typically use Claritin and Zyrtec. I switch the 2 every other month. Also I use allergy shots. (3 shots every time, which sucks!) Some co-workers of mine mentioned using Xyzal and having good experiences so I decided to try it out. I decided to get the 10 pack first just to try it out since it's so expensive. As far as helping my allergies... the medicine has helped me a lot. The downside is it makes me extremely tired. Basically I better be ready for bed soon after taking it. But I having had any grogginess the next morning. I just wake up feeling really good. But keep in mind, what works for me may or may not work for you. Benedryl and Allegra does nothing for me."


"Save yourself some money, visit a doctor &... DO NOT BUY THIS OFF THE SHELF TREATMENT!

Worst experience in my life.
I used to treat a yeast infection, not only did it not solve my symptoms it gave me excruciating pain and burning sensation every time I applied it. Had to discontinue on day 3 because the discomfort was unbearable...
The yeast infection went away with the second day of my period.
This product should never be for sale!"


"I started on a low dose 5mg of Vesicare for OAB.  Worked by third dose.  Its working really well for me, no more accidents, no side effects.  I take mine with dinner as the evening was when I was up and down to the toilet, which was difficult as I have Rheumatoid arthritits and by the evening I don't want to be getting up and down and can not do so quickly.  Also my Goldie dog tends to somehow always be laying in the wrong place when I'm in a hurry LOL.  I notice it can make you drowsy and I have been sleeping really well and thats not because of not having to get up at night when in bed as that wasn't much of a problem anyway."


"So far so good.  I followed the tips to drink it very cold, with a wedge of lemon handy (Best. Tip. Ever.) and through a large straw.  It was nasty but drinkable.  I had an immediate reaction and apart from feeling a little gross for about an hour after drinking it, it was no big deal.  No, I'm not especially looking forward to the next bottle but it's not the worst thing I've had to do.   Comparable to warm barium if you ask me."


"Ive been on Nimotop since 1997. It is truly a miracle drug. I went from a stroke and an inoperable aneurysm and wasn't able to speak, think or walk. Today I am walking, writing, speaking and feel like I'm a miracle."


"Bactrim is the best medication I've even taken for acne, cleared my skin up in 5 days."


"After each of my rituxan infusuion I feel nauseated, extremely tired, and headache for anywhere 5 days to week. Is that normal? Works great for RA though so definitely worth it!"


"My doctor switched me to Viibryd due to the weight gain on Lexapro, telling me Viibryd was supposed to be considered "weight neutral". I started off the first couple of months with a 20mg dose and it was a little effective, but my anxiety that the Lexapro was so effective in dealing with was back.

Last month my dosage was increased to 40mg and so far it is working well. No depression nor anxiety on this dose. Additionally, my sex drive is back and other sexual side effects are gone. However, I gotta say...it causes me upset stomach pretty often as well as diarrhea."


"I took the pill within an hour after having unprotected sex. It was my first time. I was so freaked out. But now, I write this as my Aunt Flow is in town. Super happy. I was only a day late too, and cramping was normal so no complaints."


"Mood was boosted for awhile when I first started taking it, but then levelled off to the point of ineffectiveness. Did work very well for my fibromyalgia pain, but not worth the extremely high price."


"Very impressed.  After four injections my psoriasis is very close to being gone.  Still some scarring but itching has stopped.  I generally feel much better physically and emotionally."


"This drug was prescribed to after ritilin didn't work well. This medication helped my ADHD but the side affects were unbearable. Cotton mouth, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks. I seemed like the cons outweighed the pros. Much more successful than ritilin but not enough. My doctor decided to try Vyvanse, a new version of adderall with less side effects and better outcomes for treatment plus no crash after dinner "


"Please don't be scared to take this medication.   I read the reviews and was horrified, but honestly the drug was very tolerable.  I went through 2 other medications for UTI before I was prescribed this one. First it was Bactrim, which a few hours after taking 3rd dose I got hives.  Second was Ciprofloxacin Hcl 500mg and I ended up with tendinitis in both legs.  Thirdly is Macrobid 100mg 2x a day for 7 days.  My advice is to take it with a full meal.  Only side effects I get is slight drowsiness, and nausea close to the 12 hours mark of my next dose.  Eat large meals before taking Macrobid and then snack throughout the day and drink lots of fluids.  You'll be ok."


"For years I dealt with acne on my face, chest, and back.. I was so insecure, I hated taking close up pictures, I hated wearing clothes that showed my back or chest. It just sucked. My dermatologist prescribed me to Accutane and within two weeks I seen a major difference. I will say, it gets worse before it gets better because it brings all your bumps to a head. But once your pores are dried out, your bumps will be gone. My lips got really dry fast so I had to apply chapstick constantly throughout my day. That was two years ago, i get a bump every now and then like normal people. But my skin is clear. Accutane changed my life :)"


"im 25yrs of age and have been on prescription benzodiazepines since the age of 16, mostly for panic attacks and GAD. I started on klonopin 0.5 BID and in the last nine years you could imagine the roller coaster ride it has been. Xanax 2mg po qid. Ativan 2mg po tid. valium 10mg po tid.(all at separate times) and the valium I was on 2 years up until 2 months ago. it started to quit working. I hated the Xanax and Ativan but the valium saved my life, it was a bitter sweet ending. and 2 months in now on klonopin 1mg qam. then 2mg qhs. miracle medicine!!!! highly recommend this medication for severe to chonic GAD, panic attacks, insomnia associated with stress and I could just go on and on. cant say enough about this medicine that gave hope!"


"My Dr. prescribed this for me very recently in place of Lunesta which Kaiser does not carry. Lunesta works wonders for me, knocks me on my butt without any weird feelings or tiredness or drowsiness the following day. This Trazodone does absolutely nothing for me, zero, nada, zippo! I would have much rather spent the $10 on a bottle of cheap vodka to knock my butt out. Luckily, I do still have my muscle relaxers that I can always count on to do the trick, I just never know how long......or how short, I have before I get knocked out."

"I have tried several sprays for my allergies. Nothing has worked better for me  than Dymista. My HMO refuses to pay for Dymista since it is not on the formulary and it is too costly.

I will have to pay for the next bottle."


"I was on Apri for 3 months.  I have always had easy, 3-day long periods but I needed birth control. I stopped using it because I had awful, 2-week long periods each month.  I was in pain and felt a general sense of sickness. I understand that it takes awhile to acclimate, but it was like it was fighting against my body."


"Definitely didn't find enough pain relief until I was prescribed with powerful pain meds - side effects tired all the time, itchy all the time, very annoying!!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Monday I drank this and it works fine. Love it. Tastes good"


"Helps to relieve the sharp pains in my big toe joints when the arthritis flares up."


"I have three bulging discs, arthritis, and sciatica in my lower back and also was just recently diagnosed with fibramyalgia. I have been on Oxycontin for about a year now, and yes it has been increased about three times within that period of time. I am now on 80mg 4x's a day. It works great with the pain relief, but it makes me sweat so uncontrollably that I have to keep a fan on my on a constant basis. I am also on about 8 more kinds of medicines, so I'm not sure which ones are causing the dizziness. But when I wake up every morning, I can barely walk, and it takes about 45 minutes for the pain to subside. And then I start the sweating. But I can handle the sweating if it helps me walk so I can keep up with my four year old son. Truly a life saver."


"Nothing worked for my anxiety attacks except Paxil; my quality of life improved significantly with this."


"Love the product. The only problem is it does not stick if I put it on a area that flexes a lot, like my side or upper arm. Sticks fine to shoulder blades no falling off and the itching subsides after about 20-30 mins."


"Was prescribed this just over a month ago. The side effects have been minimal and now gone. My GP recommended I took it with my evening meal to minimise them and it worked for me. Within days I was sleeping better and even if I wake in the night I can get back to sleep unlike before when I'd wake after a couple of hours with an overactive mind. I don't feel half as frantic, irritable and miserable as I did."


"Took Lipitor for about 5 years.  It kept my lipids under control well, but developed severe leg aching and muscle cramps, especially at night.  Went off it and within a week, all these reactions disappeared."


"I was on Tri-cyclen Lo for five years, it was my first contraceptive and it was amazing. I had no side effects and I never got pregnant once. I did not gain weight and it did not affect me in any negative way possible. I recently switched to Alysena and so far it has been horrible. Recommend Tri-cyclen lo for anyone! It's a great contraceptive and 100% effective for me."


"I've been applying this every night before bed, and went through the process of having my skin flake off everywhere, and now I don't have dryness from it but I have to say it's been like 5 months and I still have acne.  Looks the same as before.  "


"I've been struggling with depression but mostly anxiety for 16 years. I take an antidepressant and last year I tried to change it three times.  During this time I began to use Lorazapam daily and began to increase it when it wasn't working for me. Needless to say this was the worst year ever.  My anxiety symptoms were hell. After reading about Lorazapam and the problems with tolerance, rebound anxiety, looping and withdrawal, I realized my problem was not the antidepressants but Lorazapam. If you take it once a month or several times per year it could help and shouldn't hurt you, but if you take it every day, you are asking for trouble. my recommendation is avoid Lorazapam at all costs."


"For 3 years I aim taking this medicine and the results of the bone scan showed a worsening of the situation. I have problems with my stomac, so it's the best to look for an other solution."


"This was the first birth control pill I went on, and I wish I never stopped. I've been on like 4-5 other types but this one has been the best so far from my experience. The only downside was gaining 5 pounds, but it wasn't noticeable at all. If my current pill doesn't work out, I will be requested a prescription for Desogen again."


"You should only read this review if you have a cold sore that you need to have removed ASAP. I am 18 and in high school so there is nothing worse than walking around school with one. In my situation, I woke up in the middle of the Monday morning with a tingle on my lip. Prom is Friday. I was in panic mode because mine usually last 1-2 weeks. In this desperate measure, my mom called and got prescribed Valtex. I didn't think it would work because the cold sore was completely out and I missed the pre-forming stage. I took 2 Valtex on Monday at around 2 p.m and another 2 before I went to bed. I also applied Denavir. It is Tuesday night and the cold sore is completely gone! It's a miracle!"


"Nexplanon has been good to me. I've been on it for almost 2 years. When I first got it, I spotted for about a month and a half and then I completely stopped getting a period since then. Also the first couple of months I was very moody. I have lost some weight. But other than that I love it, and sex life is great and haven't had any pregnancy scares"


"Great for insomnia."


"I am a 59 year old women who has successfully cured of my Hep C. for 2 1/2 years. I Had contracted Hep C from a blood transfusion in 1985.. My acute phase I was fluish, fatigued and very nauseous.

Fast forward 25 years and the chronic phase began with nausea, extreme rashes, and terrible fatigue.  I felt 80 years oldI  I was Genotype 1 with liver stage 3 and viral load off the chart.  I waited for the new medicine to be approved and started my 12 week treatment.  I took Sovaldi, ribavirin and Interferon. I was very sick from the shots.  I got C-diff, it lasted 1 month.

I did not respond to the antibiotics.  Then I developed multiple blood clots in my legs.  It was a hard 12 weeks.  But today I feel like I have a new life!  Life is good"


"Worked very well during pregnancy. Helped me get through the day."


"I was given Ocella by my doctor to help cure my hormonal acne. My acne when from bad to very severe but I kept taking the pill hoping that all it was just an initial breakout. Seven months passed and my acne was at its worse. I finally gave up on the pill. What has cleared my face of acne is the regimen which I purchased online. My acne is gone but now I have acne scars which are deep pits in my cheeks. I'm now trying to get rid of the scars that Ocella caused me to have in the first place. DO NOT TAKE OCELLA!"


"At the age of 24 I started taking Lexapro which did absolutely nothing.  Then I started taking Zoloft which did the trick except I gained weight and had absolutely no sex drive which was causing serious issues in my marriage.  Just a couple months ago I started taking Viibryd to help with the sexual side effects.  It worked, I felt fine.  Until now, I have been on Viibryd for about two months and take 40mg a day.  I feel like it just stopped working.  The past two weeks have been torture.  I think I will go back to the Zoloft and deal with the side effects.  Not to mention my insurance doesn't cover Viibryd so it costs about $158 a month out of pocket."


"I was on this medication for 3 months and didn't have a great experience with this one. For the first two weeks I was extremely nauseous, once that died down my breasts were sore and grew from a small B to a full C, at that time my sex drive dramatically decreased and I became very moody which never really stopped. Starting a different birth control at the end of this cycle and I am very relieved. I am giving it a two because it did prevent pregnancy and made my periods regular."


"I have a major complaint about the changing of the OC's to the OP's. I have been taking the 80mg OC's for the last 2 years for my Neuropathy from my diabetes and it seems to have been the only thing that works for the pains that I have. Now after the change of them to the OP's I have been taking them now for today being the third day and they don't do much for my pain. On top of that they make my whole body itch very bad and today discovering that I'm now passing blood in my urine. Have never done that in my life of 48 years. So what do I to do now? I understand why the changes were made with the formulation, but what about the people who use it the right way and who really need it? We are the one's who are suffering because of people who abuse it."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"It makes me have tremendous heart burn and trouble breathing too. I didn't think it was the pill at first, but when I forget to take it I'm ok no problems at all. It's definitely this pill that's not good for me. It taste and smells good and it's a small blue oval very convenient size for a pill but it just doesn't do what I feel it should be doing. I also get migraines and I am not your typical migrainer."


"Im currently 16 years old, about 4 months ago I had been told I had hypothyroidism, before starting the levothyroxine I gained 80 pounds over a span of 6 months, before this I weighed 117, I was then put on levothyroxine at 197 pounds, it has done nothing but worsen the side effects I already had, shaky hands, hair loss, irregular menstural cycles, weight gain, dry skin, sensitvity to heat, extreme lack of energy, insomnia, I've also gained 20 more pounds since being on it, though I workout 2 hours a day and have 1000 calorie diet I still gain 2 pounds a week, my doctor doesnt think the weight gain is associated with the disease and blew it off, I don't know what else to do - not much more I can take"


"I'm 24 and have been taking Pristiq for about 6 weeks now. The first 3 weeks were hell. I went through horrible emotional spells. I would cry then get angry for no reason. I would just want to be left alone. My husband and my family were so worried about me. I wasn't myself at all, my mood changed so frequently. Now I am feeling balanced - I haven't had an anxiety attack for about 4 weeks now. I never thought I would get here. The only thing I am experiencing now is trouble sleeping but that's been going on a while, and a slight decrease in my sex drive. If that doesn't change in the next couple of weeks my doctor wants to put me on Wellbutrin, we'll see how that goes."


"I have be type 2 for almost 9 months.  I inject Trisiba once a night  and take 2000 mg of Metformin a day (100 mg twice a day)  I was taking Jenuvia, but that made me feel very sick.  The T shot took its place and has allowed me to take less units of insulin, thus helping me lose weight. I've been doing the T shot for 2 months now.  the first 2 shots were BAD.  Every possible side effect. The sulfur burps and the diarrhea were HORRIBLE.   I stuck it out and it seemed to level out.  Some time I get REALLY nauseated and cannot eat.  Other times I get really tired and some blurry vision on occasion ( I think maybe 3 times in 2 months) The trick is to drink lots of fluids and have your Dr. prescribe a medical grade antacid and it will be great!"


"I had my right kidney removed December 2014 they thought all cancer was gone but few months later they found cancer in my lymph nodes. I started on Votrient July 2015 at 800 mg but had Doctor reduce amount because of stomachs issues. I'm still nauseated daily and throw up almost every day. My hands are bright red my hair is white I have sores on certain parts of my body that act like blisters then go away after a few weeks. All in all the cancer is shrinking and I have another cat scan this month."


"I fractured and hemorrhaged my neck in 2001 at the age of 12. I've been on and off all kinds of narcotics and was recently introduced to Avinza. This stuff is awesome! Even at the low 30mg dose I feel much better but I still keep my Norco around for break through pain when needed. I recommend this medicine to anyone dealing with chronic pain."


"I've been using the DP for almost 2years. I was left with this choice due to being a migraine sufferer I could not take the pill & was hospitalized from the iud with swollen tubes & ovarian cysts & abscesses (surgery to remove burst ones) & a personal preference of not wanting the rod . Before using the DP my periods were pain free, very light & lasted maybe 3 days Max. I had done my research & read about breakthrough bleeding for up to a year & thought "better than being pregnant right", because in my mind I was imagining sporadic spotting. Not incessant bleeding of weird colours & clots accompanied with constant stabbing pain. Gyno says continue with jab, take this, do that but I've given up, I may be a rare case but I wouldn't recommend"


"I have stoped taking glucophage 3 mounths ago and i have gained 3kg please help"


"I have only been on Celexa for 4 days. I take 10mg. I sleep very little,  sweating, naseau and have become very anxious about everything.  I do drink a lot of water. I just want to feel like myself again."


"I was on Mirena for about last two months. First month wasn't to bad...spotting all day. Started breaking out some then second month everything got MUCH worse. Constanly tired, acne constant around jaw line (never had much problem with before), cravings for food and biggest one hair coming out in clumps. Doctor immediately recommended getting it removed. I did 3 days ago. I'm 32 and mother of 2. Hadn't been on birth control in 4 1/2 yrs. I know everyone is not the same though. Just my experience...now starting Loesrin 24 FE pills. Pretty nervous now and hoping no side effects like used to be before having my kids. Birth control touchy thing...good luck."


"Tried SSRI antidepressants for two years. No relief until took this medicine."


"Is This Antibiotic responsible for the Huge Increase in Parkinsons Diseease??

     There is a Condition that affects a Great Percentage of the Western World an Antibiotic Infection. In most cases this leads to Coeliac Food intolerances Through Disbiosis of the Large Intestine and the resultant Leaky Gut and Possibly Bowel Cancer in later life. However this version of Antibiotic can cause a problem with Trytophan production from the Large intestine and a resultant Dopamine Deficency - "


"I use Xanax occasionally as required. I feel relaxed in real sense, feel increase in mental abilities, sleep well and when I wake up I'm in a very fresh mood."


"I got on April 2015. I starting bleeding the same day I was put on and bled for about 30 days straight. (heavy period style for about 25 of those days) I thankfully haven't had one since, but I do brestfeed and hadn't had one for 8 months prior, so that could be why. But I started noticing about a month and a half ago all of the side effects it was giving me. Headaches, fatigue, strong uncontrollable cravings, bloating, no interest in intimacy, and weight gain. To top it off I spotted light pink and brown for two days randomly a couple weeks ago. I seriously thought I was pregnant. But no my doctor assured me that this is how the bc works. I'll be getting off in December as he told me to wait it out a few more months. Can't wait to get off!"


"This is my fourth month on this medication and my 7th period. I was originally asking about birth control methods that would keep me from having my period every month and was told by my doctor that I could continue onto a second pack, skipping the week of fake pills and that should prevent my period. After that didn't work the first time I decided to just take it normally, but that's when my period started happening every other week. I have been abnormally emotional, but until I read the other reviews on this site I never thought to blame this medication. I'm normally a very subdued person who deals with my problems internally, these last few months I've been incredibly emotional and sensitive, crying a lot. I have had some extra acne too."


""Treated daughter as directed with Sklice, and 5 days later, live lice reappeared. Disappointed to say the least after washing bedding, putting away stuffed animals, etc. Any health care provider I talked to about the re-occurrence said that you MUST comb out the nits even though the Sklice directions and website advertise that no combing is needed. Feel greatly misled."  But that was not the problem because in addition I did nit comb every time.  This has been the 4th time doing this at $200 a treatment(Yes one time use per tube) wow is SkyLice getting over on us.  Seems Skylice owes me some money back.  It does not work...."


"I was experiencing some bad acne for about 2 years before I went and saw a dermatologist about it. She prescribed me ziana. My main acne was on my cheeks which also lead to brown spots. The first month on this medicine was the worst, you will want to give up, but DONT!  It made my skin super sensitive; it made you want to cry but it hurt for tears to even touch your face. No makeup looked good bc of how dry it got. About 2-3 months I started seeing some results. About 5 - 6 months in and I had no blemishes left and the brown spots have faded significantly. There's still some there but I was told those will take the longest to go away. I wish I knew how to share a picture of the difference."


"this medication only made me feel worse I took it for my anxiety and panic attacks and honestly it didn't help at all if anything made things worse. I put on about 10kg the hungers been horrible the weight gain makes me feel worse. at the start of taking it it stopped my ability to have panic attack so my anxiety would build to no release but now the panic attacks have come back and theyre worse. ineffective and horrible side effects"


"Relpax has changed my life! I have suffered with migraines for years. I know they are usually hormone related. Relpax is like a miracle, most days I can take it as soon as my headache starts and within the hour I am pain free.  Relpax recently saved my Disney Vacation!"


"Taking it for three months  and no bowel movements.  I  have  one movement  a month. I  really  need to poop . All this medicine does is make me felt sick.I take as it says and nothing happens  .In between  I take Mira lax still nothing.

  I  get nausea vomiting  alot of the time.Cramps  I  am so tired of being  full of bowel. ."


"I am 18 years old and I have had a sweating problem under my arms since I was 13. I have been wearing black T-shirts since I can remember only because they didn't show sweat! I went to my doctor about a month ago and she prescribed me Hypercare. I love it. I could feel the difference just after one use. It really is a miracle! Yes it itches and sometimes burns when you put it on but it is totally worth it and many people say that I would start sweating a lot in other places but I haven't noticed that anywhere so I am super happy with Hypercare."


"Humira gave me my life back. It's so convenient because I can take it at home and not have to wait in the hospital for infusions."


"I started taking this medication last week, I started suffering from depression when my marraige began to fall apart! I was trying for years to be there for my husband as he returned from a deployment suffering from serve ptsd! Right now I can say my opinion on this medication differs. One day I'm fine and can get through my day calm, other days I have serve anxiety and I'm freaking out or I'm so tired with headaches that I just want to be alone and sleep all day! A big concern,even through I shouldn't be complaining about is losing weight in a week I have already dropped 5 pounds! I feel as if I should give this more time to balance me out! I'm only on 150mg once a day"


Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"I have had bad headaches for about 20 yrs. I have taken Migraine medications ( no luck )
I was finally diagnosed having tension combination migraines fioricet # 3 or fiorinal #3 have worked the best."


"Made me lethargic and very thirsty. My thirst interfered with my sleeping. I had to drink in the middle of the night and use restroom. So, taken off this one."


"When I was experiencing erection problems my doctor recommended Staxyn. It worked great for use and allowed my wife and I to have extended session. I even felt the effects the next morning, if too much time hadn't passed."


"It works!!! I smoked for 20+ years and on Dec 17, 2013 will be 1 year without 1 drag. I was buying 2 packs a day for the final 6-7 years. Around $12 a day and about $4400 a year with a total in the last 5 years $22,000. That makes me crazy. The addiction is real. I don't know if I could of stopped without Chantix, but I know I did stop because of it. It made the taste become disgusting like no other. The urge slowly left my head. After 3 weeks and the "WANT" to really quit. I DID IT! The withdrawals were in the form of severe muscle aches about a month after. That lasted also 1 month. Bring cigarette free is truly being free. My wife kisses me again. I tried literally every method to quit before Chantix. Nothing worked. Chantix does...."


"Well I'm on day 4 of this medicine. And before I was a pack a day smoker.

The medicine has made me feel kinda crappy, very tired, no appetite, and weak feeling. But I've only had 2.5 cigarettes today and it's 5:30pm...

After the second day I felt like when I smoked I felt worse, now they taste like crap or just have no taste and I'm like why am I smoking these... I hope my body adjust to the pills so I stop feeling like crap, but so far the quitting smoking thing seems like it's working..."


"Been taking 5mg Trintellix for 3 days and having unbearable adrenaline rush in the mornings? Anyone else experience this? Can I safely stop after only 3 days?"


"I started taking Orsythia about a month ago. Since then, I’ve been depressed and I have no clue why; I have also had more anxiety in the past month than I have had in the past 3. I read that others have had some anxiety and depression problems while on Orsythia. However, I am not as overly-emotional as I was on the birth control that I was taking before this one. I’d honestly be overly emotional 24/7 than depressed often. I don’t have very noticeable cramps but Tylenol helps take them away. I also have gained a couple pounds while on  Orsythia. I would not recommend this to someone that has a history of anxiety/depression because it will drain you. Many others have also had this problem while on Orsythia"


"Tried it all after Radical Prostatectomy. Stendra was/is a last resort. Like others a Big Fat Zero. Very expensive for no result. Next stop is surgeons for Implant surgery."


"I was prescribed to phentermine last year and had amazing results but I lost it so quickly I gained it back. So my doctor re prescribed it to me and for some odd odd reason I had the worlds worst side effects so he put me on Tenuate. So far, in the past oh say 6 days I have felt...normal. which is a good thing. I'm not eating as much and definitely am enjoying working out! This pill is awesome. Though when I went to the doctor I was 147 I don't plan on weighing myself until I go back or my pants start falling loose (because that'll get me extra curious). I definitely feel though that I have possibly lost a a few pounds, hope so. I recommend this pill to anyone who wants to lose weight and not feel like a crack head like you will on phentermine!"


"This product worked. It dropped my blood pressure in the normal stage to where I felt good."


"I was so excited to try this medication, because I always watch my diet, count calories, and exercise regularly but my metabolism is awful and I can never drop weight. After a discount card I paid $111 for it. After a week on the medication, I feel awful. I have GAINED 4 pounds. My head feels foggy all the time, energy is low, my stomach has an acid reflux type feeling and my appetite feels increased where I am eating everything in sight and craving sweets...stopping this medication today."


"I have been on Victoza for close to 7 months.  When I started my A1C was 8.4.  After 90 days my A1C was 6.3.  My use of Lantus was 36 units per day and within 90 days was 12 units per day.  My weight dropped from 185 lbs to 160 lbs within the same 90 day period.  The common side effect of nausea still continues.  At first I could not even stand the sight of food and certainly not the smell of food.  I have determined that if I eliminate all fat from my diet that I can eat.  I have been a vegetarian since I learned I was Type 2 diabetic in 1994.  I have been a lifelong runner so at first I was able to control my diabetes with diet and exercise. But over the years that changed.  Various pills and then insulin.  Now Victoza.  Great results."


"After being on birth control for 4 months and never missing a pill, the night I had sex for the first time I had forgotten to take my pill that day. After having sex, we realized the condom had broke and I tried not to freak out. The next morning I went to the pharmacy and bought Plan B about 10 hours later. I took it and it was the worst month of waiting for my period to come because I had just gotten off my period when I had sex. It took forever but 3 weeks later it finally came 1 day early and I am so relieved!!! Plan B is the best 50 dollars I've ever spent."


"I took this medication for insomnia twice. The first time I tried it, I heard voices. I realized that these voices weren't normal or "mine," but I said to myself, "you know what? Maybe that was just a one time thing. I really want to sleep. Let me try this again." Next night I tried it I heard screaming (in my head). I then proceeded to put the medication right in the trash. My sleeping patterns are [still] also trash."


"Have had a sinus infection for two weeks with a round of azithromycin that didn't work. My doctor prescribed Avelox and I was pretty scared after reading some of the side effects others have had. I'm on day 4 and my sinus infection is so much better and the coughing from my bronchitis is almost gone.  So much better!  Only side effect is not being able to fall asleep."


"It has given me my lowest bp reading in months. Just started losartan hctz 50/12.5 and I'm 33 male. I'm much calmer with my family. My bp reading at noon was 129/85 and my last 90 day average is 141/95. I feel great but it's only been a week and no side affects."


"Takes a little getting used too, but once I did I found I liked how it works. I didn't get the side effects like I do with the other brands."


"I love Trinessa. I've been on it for about a year and a half now. Unlike other birth controls the most weight I gained since I started it is 2 pounds. I love it. Simple, easy to use, and effective. Give it a shot. Plus cleared up my acne!"


"I was initially prescribed escitalopram for situational depression without being warned about start up anxiety and insomnia.  After a week, I was switched to mirtazapine 7.5mg, which helped me sleep and regain the 10 pounds I had lost the previous week.  However, as the situation worsened, my dosage was increased to 30mg, at which point the drug became too activating, and sleep disappeared.  When I attempted to reduce my dosage, I got hit with massive withdrawals.  I now have chronic insomnia, severe cognitive problems, and an anxiety disorder that resulted in countless additional medications, including an antipsychotic.  These drugs have rendered me numb, unmotivated, impotent, and stupid.  Simply stated, this drug ruined my life."


"I love this patch and would recommend it to anyone! I'm British so the cost is all covered too which is even better! On the first full day of using the patch I was violently sick and felt nauseous for the morning but that was it. Since then I have actually calmed down with mood swings and a lot less snappy! Also I'm quite small and have naturally small breasts but have gone up about half a cup size in the 3 weeks I've been on it!"


"Diagnosed in 1992 ADHD & prescribed Ritalin. Before I took Ritalin, I was forgetful, daydreamed, moody, couldn't focus for long, did soft drugs, drank alcohol, smoked cigs., and was negative minded. Now, I do none of the above. It makes me feel motivated to go to work, everyday, and I read novels from page 1 to the last page. Before, I never had the patience  to read past page 1. My Doc. prescribes me 60 mg. per day. To start my day, I take 1- SR20mg. with 1-10mg; then 4hrs. later, I take 1-10mg.; then 4hrs. later I take 1-SR20mg. The problem is, after the first 8hrs., I know I need a 10mg. for the next 4hrs. But my Doc. won't prescribe me over 60mg. per day cause he thinks that is the max. per day allowed. Any suggestions?"


"I took a 6 month course of Accutane. I have cystic acne on my chin and my neck, all of it in the area of facial hair. I only got somewhat chapped lips, but the drug did no good whatsoever. Sure, my skin became less oily, but that's all. I'm 35 and I get cysts almost on a daily basis. It gets worse and worse with age, I believe. "


"For me, latuda is the best drug available and so far I've lost 25lbs. My emotions are in check, paranoia and hallucinations are gone. I feel real and as close to normal than I've been in a really, really long time. Other than a slight tremor, I've noticed no other side effects

I'd highly recommend trying this medication."


"I have Bipolar 1 with psychotic features and have taken Lamictal for years. It is a great medication to control the symptoms of my mental illness. I had no unsavory side effects and my mood has remained pretty level. My doctor does adjust the amount that I take throughout the year, as needed."


"Flagyl works, didn't get any nasty side effects except maybe constipation. Otherwise great."


"I am currently on 250 mg  I have fatigue, weakness, painful arms & legs, can't sleep very well, no motivation.."


"Stadol along with Vistaril are the best combination on the planet for my migraines.  When I get one that will not respond to the other medicines I am supposed to try first, and if I can convince the ever suspicious doctors and my local emergency room that not everyone is a drug seeker and some of us REALLY DO have REAL pain issues, this is usually what they give me.  When I have one that bad, all I want to do is sleep through it anyway and the Stadol alone kind of makes me drowsy, but ambitious.  But the Vistaril makes me relaxed and sleepy so I don't wake up to some kind of half done project that I neither recognize nor remember.  Plus I almost NEVER wake up with a migraine again.  "


"This has been the worst for my girlfriend.... she constantly gets mood swings and her libido has dramatically decreased to the point where I kiss her sets her unease. I would recommend not getting this treatment unless you want to have depression almost all the time and gain mood swings. Seriously, I'm afraid that it's doing more harm then good to her body. Sure, her period stopped after 3 months, which I can see as a plus for most, but to have her with little to no energy it's not worth it."


"This is my first time taking any sort of birth control and so the NP prescribed me Lutera. I guess since it's easy to take and it's a low dosage of hormones. It's been a week for me so far and I've had little to no side effects. I was a little moody the first day and the second day, but after that I felt normal. I don't feel like I need to eat often or more, and I have no nausea/dizziness or headaches. The first day I got my pills I looked online to see the reviews for Lutera, and I was shocked and a little concerned when reading all the bad reviews. I'm not anymore, because it seems like Lutera is right for me. And not one pill is right for everyone, I think girls should know that."


"I have chronic pain in my lower back, and this medication enables me to get out of bed each day and keep working. That said, I don't get the full 12hrs sustained release. For me its more like 9-10hrs relief before I feel it progressively wearing off (and supplement with a small dose of IR Oxycodone). Side effects? Finding the right dosage was tricky. Too little and I was in pain, but too much and I could barely keep my eyes open to function. I was fatigued the whole time and itchy all over. I've now found a stable balance between pain relief and side effects that is workable with the rest of my life.
Overall, it's been a miracle medicine for me to relieve debilitating pain. I'm still in my 30's and am too young to be feeling 80 every day."


"It works!!!!I have been battling with acne for years, I am 35 yrs old and I have been using epiduo for over 6 or more yrs and I can say it's a life saving. ...A little redness and irritation is nothing to complain about the results is great."


"So this is day 2 after getting Paragard and am still in pain. The insertion was unbelievably bad! No kids and already heavy cycle to start. I have many tattoos so I can take the pain but I am glad that its over with. The cramps are painful and come and go! I am hopeful and will stick this out bc I can't have any hormonal bc any more due to migraines with aura and possibility of stroke with use. I can't wait for this pain to go away!"


"I took plan B years ago when it was 2 pills never had any issues. In  March 2011 I took it again and it was only 1 pill, I ended up getting pregnant (he was my miracle baby) I couldn't be happier.

I took it again 1 week and starting bleeding very badly on Sat."


"Have periodic leg and foot pain due to being on them for 10+ a day.  It works well but takes about 2 hours to kick in.  Have used Lortab but feel crappy the next day"


"The only thing to work for me so far."


"I've had this sharp pain in my lower back for 2 days. Within 2 mins of taking Voltaren the pain has absolutely gone away. This is definitely a wonder pill."


"I have been on Tamoxifen for four months now & have been told I will be taking it for the standard 5yrs. I have had hot flashes, no period (that stopped after my second Chemo in April 2013), sex drive has disappeared (also from Chemo & Tamoxifen combined) and I have had pelvic pain (tend to be more apparent when I lay on my back), joint pain(in my elbow and where legs join pelvic) and lower back pain. I am hoping that some of these side effects will soon subside.  Wow, it is amazing all the different side effects that Tamoxifen causes for people. Reading a lot of these comments has made me now realize that all the pains & aches I have been having, truly are side effects from the Tamoxifen. It's nice to know I'm not alone! "


"I lived in pain from most foods, until a new Gastroenterology doctor (Mayo Clinic) tested me for lactose intolerance. I proved to be VERY lactose intolerant. He recommended that I avoid milk, yogurt, and ice cream but try Lactaid with every meal, particularly canned foods and restaurant foods.  Trace amounts of lactose can be present in canned products. When dining out, there are no guarantees of what is put in the food. Even foods that seem relatively safe, could contain lactose.
Lactaid has worked GREAT! I no longer get sick after canned tuna fish or eating out. I continue to avoid milk and ice cream, but I can eat cheese within moderation.
I hope the product works for those who need it. For me, it's been a lifeline to normalcy."


"I have only been on Junel 1/20 for almost a month, but I'm already starting to notice differences with my body that I'm not too happy with. Firstly, I started developing cystic acne on my chin, which never happened before. It's really painful and hard to cover up with makeup. Secondly, my period is irregular. On my second week of the pill, I started feeling crampy and then a day or two later, I got my period. I am going to give it three months, and if nothing changes or if my symptoms worsen, I'm asking my doctor for something else.

Any recommendations?"


"I'm on my 10th day now yes they don't stick but if you get a bandaid type tape it will stick.  It's not expensive - I haven't had a hit or a cigarette. And I've never felt better."


"So far so good. I've been taking the medicine for about 2 weeks now and I definitely like it better than other medicines I've been on."


"I'm diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Have only scalp issues and joint swellings and pain in legs, knees, ankles, hand and fingers. Got approved for Enbrel and did 2 weeks ago the first shot. All went well other than I got a cough, night sweat and high blood pressure which it controlled. The second shot gave me a small red stain after 3 days of the size of a quarter which grew to the size my hand palm within a day. My cough is like crazy and my throat itchy. Blood pressure high... I went to the doctor who told me I have to get off I'm allergic to it and a next shot could be life threatening. Benadryl did not help, I got 20 mg Prednisone and it's slightly got better with the redness and pain. I will be changed to Humira."


"Got my free sample of salonpas pain patch the same day I worked 8 straight hours. I work in a Vets office in the kennel and most days we do 20 to 30 dog baths a day. I was exhausted and sore and I just knew I would be sore and unable to move the next day, but I applied solonpas pain patch before bed and woke up ready to face another day. I would recommend this to everyone and I will be purchasing more. Thank you for the free sample, it really works!"


"Well, I have always been a little heavy.... not an avid athlete or calorie cruncher.  However, when I had the IUD put in 4 years ago , I was only 10 lbs, from my pre-baby weight.  Since then, I have gotten progressively moody, have close to no sex drive and have gained close to fifty pounds!  I was told that these were not side effects by my doctor.  When I told him that I was having mood problems he prescribed my prozac.   (MY OB/GYN)   Now that I have read some reviews, I realized that maybe I am not crazy...........  I had no pain when inserted and have had no periods since I had it put in.  Which is great.  There has been a clear discharge, almost monthly, some odor and I have absolutely no bladder control.  Time to take it out!"


"I have been on several different medicines from Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, Effexor to name a few. I LOVE Pristiq. I can get up in the morning and feel it's going be a good day. Before, I would avoid social places where I knew there would be a lot of people because I panic. I also raged and get irradiated very easy, it almost cost me my marriage. "


"Just took the pill and already making me sick "


"After dealing with social anxiety every day, avoiding situations, and constantly being tense I decided that medication was the choice for me.

Effexor is the second drug I have tried. This medication has improved my social anxiety in a way that I never thought was possible. I enjoy talking with people and can't believe almost all of my anxiety has vanished. I have read that Effexor can be a slight stimulant, and I do notice this is a big reason I am more talkative and confident.

NEGATIVES: My memory is way worse than it's ever been. I do not concentrate well when people are speaking and retaining the information is difficult. My worries are gone, but so are my thoughts about everything. Feel foggy. No other side effects"


"This birth control has been HELL for me. I've been on the shot and I had to stop after 2 years because it drove me crazy and I started having bone issues. So I decided to get on implanon after my daughter. I thought things was going okay but It is not and I really need this thing out of me ASAP. Since having this thing in my arm. I've had non stop spotting and periods all month, no energy, mood swings, depression, dizziness on a daily and I've been having tingling in my arm and legs but especially in the arm that the implant is in. I've also experienced weight gain and sharp pains where the implant is inserted. I touch and feel it on a daily and it is still in the spot the doctor put it in. I think I'll just go WITHOUT birth control."


"Definitely helped with vertigo. Made me very sleepy."


"Best migraine medicine I have ever used. The injection does hurt for a few seconds but the pain is gone as fast as it came. Within a few minutes I can feel the medicine rushing through my head. It feels very heavy and leaves me with a dizzy sensation. I usually need about an hour of sleep and then the migraine is gone completely. I suffer about three migraines a week and only need a second dose about once a month. Pretty effective if you ask me! I have noticed that if I am feeling nauseous already, the medicine intensifies this. I found that taking a sublingual anti nausea medicine a few minutes before the injection greatly reduces this side effect."


"I have been using Benicar for 1 week. So far the only side effect I have had with Benicar is excessive thirst. My blood pressure is now 113/75."


"I had a nervous breakdown last year. Thought death was imminent and I would go to hell. My psychiatric CNP would not prescribe benzos. I was completely terrified, like a 2 month long panic attack. Went to the ER twice. They gave me ativan and I felt blissful relief.  Right back to the terror the next day.  I have a prescribing psychologist now who would give it to me if I needed it. But finally got prescribed clonazepam. It was okay but not nearly as good as the ativan. I used it for a while until the morbid dread subsided, had no rebound problems. Maybe if I took it for months on end I would. But nothing but benzos worked for me."


"I had broken my heel in 3 places and fractured my ankle. I was given morphine for the intense pain but morphine didn't last long. I finally received dilaudid through an IV which made all the difference in the world! Dilaudid for me took away the horrible pain and made me sleep a lot. Spent 5 days in the hospital and don't remember much."


"Within 2 weeks saw blood glucose more than half to good levels I've not seen for years (literally) no major side effects - felt sick twice within a day or two of first dose but apart from that all ok. Injecting in fatty tissue of stomach hardly any pain. Very well designed device and needle almost painless. I would recommend this for T2s who have gone to max on oral meds and need that extra help, this really is the magic bullet for me. I can handle weekly injections but not daily that's too much imho."


"I have endometrosis and have stomach pain, digestive problems, and abnormal bleeding. The digestive problems are just as bad as they were. My periods are better. The medicine does have side effects such as unsettled stomach and headaches."


"Pristiq definitely works. Psychiatry also works. I was in severe severe depression due to cyberchondria introduced by googling symptom of hiv after a zero risk episode. I fell into major depressive disorder with depersonalization and derealization. I started taking Pristiq and it took really long to kick in. It took me two months to feel normal. No happy high no sadness...just my usual normal. The best part is the anxiety and depression reduces day by day and after 2 months you will feel the cloud lifting. The worst side effects are extreme sleep, fatigue and very very very weird vivid dreams. I don't know if I have to take this for the rest of my life but it definitely reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am enjoying my time now."


"I never heard of this medicine. After being on every pain medicine (I thought) out there and still in horrid pain, I was about to give up, I couldn't live with the pain. I saw a new PM and he got me off my high dose of Oxycontin which did nothing for me along with Dilaudid and Roxicodone and put me on 240 once a day with 30 MSIR at 4 hrs. The MSIR does not help, I have to get something else, and the 240 has done things nothing ever has before. I can walk again, have some quality of my life back, not stoned feeling, it's amazing. I still have pain, I need to get my dosage adjusted. This is by far a miracle for me and my family. I don't sleep with a foot massager."


"I got prescribed 2mg hydromorphone pills for a throat ulcer. I took a 2mg the first day and felt nothing and had 0 pain relief. I moved up to 4mg the next time and also felt the exact same, which I find weird because everyone seems to have good results with it and my doctor told me was a really good pain reliever."


"Just some of my background so some of you can relate: I'm 115lbs, 23 years old, in my third month of taking Try Cyclen which is the first BC I ever went on. So far thank God no pregnancies, although increased amount of discharge and I got a vaginal infection which I never had before and that was strange. At first I gained weight and my breasts went up a size which was great but now I'm back to loosing a lot of weight. Yes mood swings have increased but I was always emotional and thought of myself as someone with depression lol so you guys really have to be careful about what is really considered to be called depression. Periods have stayed the same, just a little bit more regulated which is also a plus. So far no drastic changes."


""Been on amitriptyline for 2 weeks for nerve pain following MRI scan, which revealed a soft disc touching main nerve. It has reduced discomfort from an 9 to a 3 most days. I take 2x10 mg at night and other than some grogginess the first 3-4 days, . I sleep well on it too.""


"Have been on this drug for the full four weeks now.  I've noticed in an improvement in my energy and mood.  The muscle pains have all but gone too.  I did have sweating/hot flashes with it but those are better now.  Luckily my insurance covers it but it's still $60/month.

I also noticed the increased heart rate so I quit drinking caffeine during the day and keep my beer/wine consumption down a lot.  Increase your intake of water as that helps with the head pounding feeling.  I also take Ambien so my sleep has not suffered.  Consider taking something to help you sleep, at least until you get used to the medication."


"I have suffered from ibs for 10 years, after many trips to the er for debilitating pain and no solutions from my gi Doctor. My PCP told me to try viberzi. I have been on viberzi 100mg since the first week in February and I finally have my life back. I have been able to spend more time away from home with my family without the fear or embarrassment of needing a bathroom immediately. This medicine is a godsend for me and my family!!"


"I have been on different birth controls over the years and due to changes in my hormones I have been spotting before my period so my doctor put me on this BCP and I have getting really bad acne, mood swings, and my lips are very chapped. I've been on it for 2 months and I'm still spotting and now I have side effects! After I finish this pack I'm gonna stop taking this pill. My doctor said to give it 3 months but I just can't with these side effects."


"I am 25 and have been put on fluoxetine for the 3rd time this year for an anxiety disorder. I like this medication but I have experienced some weird side affects. In the beginning of each new time prescribed I get really nervous, sweaty, panic attacks, and some times feel dizzy. All side effects eventually go away, but it is very tough to get through the first 2-3 weeks. I am on the 3rd week now, but the side effects don't seem to be getting better. I don't want to give up though because it has been so helpful in the past for me."


"I got the  first depo shot on November 15 2016 the Dr said ooh you'll have irregular bleeding what she failed to tell me was that I could have nonstop heavy bleeding which has happened not to mention I have a blood  disorder so having this nonstop bleeding from the depo isn't good at all then after seeing her again she goes well there isn't anything I can do for you and if you choose to stop it the bleeding will get worse before it gets better I'm furious because she knows I have a blood disorder causing my blood not to clot and she didn't mention the possible side effects until after I got the shot now because of this I have to be monitored more often and closely with the blood disorder"


"I had a major addiction problem to many kinds of pain medicines for almost 3 years. I did a lot of oxycodones everyday and any other pain medicine I could get a hold of. I'll admit I loved the high but I hated not being able to get out of bed in the morning. I was so depressed everyday all I wanted was to just feel normal again. I have a beautiful 3 year old little boy who is my whole world. Although it took me some time I finally checking into rehab about a year ago. From there they prescribed me to Suboxone 2 x 8mg tablets daily. I am still currently on Suboxone beginning to wean down. Thanks to Suboxone I regained my life back and now I have many more years to look forward to with my son. Suboxone is the greatest thing for any opiate dependent person. "


"I have been on this pill for almost a year now. It does its job in that I have not gotten pregnant and it does give me a regular period (when I'm not on birth control, I rarely get periods). However, I have pretty much no sex drive whatsoever and am very dry. This is quite troublesome, and I will be looking for a new pill soon."


"Ladies do not do what I did and read all these reviews and freak yourself out! When I got my iud placed they gave me a pill to help open up my cervix so it would be less painful. I was so terrified to get it done due to the horrifying reviews. I finally got up the courage to finally have the doctor do it. Ladies it was nothing! They put the clamp on my cervix which didn't feel great but it wasn't ungodly painful. The actual insertion took like 30 seconds and then it was done. I felt a cramp but not worse than the ones I get before I'm about to start. After it was done I had mild cramping for an hour then nothing. I also had no spotting at all. Please remember pain is subjective and don't let a terrible review stop you from getting it."


"This is a great drug for anybody that has gastrointestinal issues when taking metformin. It is a mix of metformin and avandia. For some reason the avandia lessens those side effects. For me the side effects disappeared completely. For my wife the side effects were only lessened."


"I have had a non-productive cough for the last four months. I had two  laryngoscopies which were both negative. My wife asked me to try this drug which as a physician I took reluctantly. My cough miraculously stopped after two hours. It has been 48 hours since my first and last dose and no cough. I cannot rule out a psychosomatic reaction. However I don't care I am no longer coughing!!"


"Nortiptyline has helped to make me virtually symptom free for almost seven years.  I have cyclic vomiting syndrome episodes but this medicine is a miracle. It has definitely improved my quality of life."


"I love this! This is my first form of birth control and I have only been on it for about two and a half weeks, but I have to say that, so far, its great. I usuallly get terrible cramps, pains, nausea, etc. on my period; when I started using this on the first day of my period this month, it all went away. This was my first time NOT throwing up during my period, and I stopped getting those terrible cramps. Even my bloating went away. Plus, for some reason, since I started using this b.c., my occasional pimples have disappeared and stopped showing up. It's all really great and I feel so much better after taking this!! The only problem (though it's really not a big deal) is that I may have put on a pound since I started using it."


"I started taking this med 15 years ago. Have had to take a reflux tablet too since commencing this but unsure if it was related. All in all has kept my Bp in normal range. Just starting to get slight raises now in Bp after 15 years."


"I started this pill with the intent of settling my hormonal acne and it worked WONDERS! My skin is very clear and my periods are right on time and light. However, I am switching to a different pill as a trial because of the emotional side effects this has given me. My mental PMS is much worse and I find myself very depressed often. I've also gained 5-10 pounds and it's harder for me to lose weight, but nothing significant. I've also noticed a slight decrease in sex drive if that's what you're into. However, there are ups and downs to all birth controls, if the next one I try isn't good then I am definitely going back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo because it's overall been reliable."


"I have had a sinus infection with cough & congestion for 3 months.  I tried 3 antibiotics and the codeine cough syrup, nothing worked.  I was prescribed Zutripro and immediately felt better after 2 doses.  This medicine is a miracle. I would recommend to anyone!  It was on the high tier of my prescription plan but so worth it!"


"I have been using NuvaRing for year. I have had no negative side effects from using it. I have been on hormonal birth control for 10 years and this is the best option I've used. I have been on three different pills in the past and they all had negative side effects, that I have not seen with NuvaRing. I feel that as with any medication, every one affects a person different and it's about finding the right medication for your body."


"I used Norco for two years, at the dose of 2 10/325 every 6-8 hours. I was being treated for loose stools and pain as a result of colorectal cancer.  Don't know what I would have done without this medicine."


"I’ve been on this pill for about 2 months, I wanted to try a low hormonal pill to hope for no or less weight gain. Camila by far is the worst birth control I have been on. My period is light but the duration is about 9-11 days SMH! I rather bleed heavy for 3-4! The cramps are deadly. I’ve always had bad cramps but this is different now. Oh, if you miss a pill by a few hours.. you start to cramp & bleed. I haven’t experienced any major breakouts. My mood is pretty normal, except for when I’m cramping & bloating. NOW the weight gain is no joke. I’m sure it’s all water weight & bloat.. but who wants that? I’ve gained 6lbs in one month! My appetite has definitely increased for the worst. I’m a normal healthy eater but all I want to do is snack."


"I'm only on day 3 of meds, dose is 2 x a day for the week. Must say I see an improvement already! I've had BV for months and no prescription helped. I've tried things for my flora, ph, baths, alkaline water, vitamin c, you name it. 3 days in, and I'm already happier. No odor, no discharge, finally !!! Relief from this awful embarrassment. Yes, the pill can taste bad, however I take a sip of milk BEFORE and after taking the dose. Hadn't the 1st time and it tastes awful yes, but the milk coats your throat nicely and haven't tasted it since doing that. As for side effects I definitely have a suppressed appetite but I'm not complaining. The benefits of taking the Flagyl much outweigh any negative I can see."


"Skeptical at first but I absolutely love it. On my third month and no side effects. Period starts like clock work 3 days after I take it out, and last about 3 days. I give it a 9 because I do dry out during intercourse, otherwise it's been great!"


"I waited to start until today, since I am off work today. I've never been on a prescription before. (Outside of antibiotics for cold, flu..etc.) I didn't feel anything until around an hour. My throat got extremely dry and I had an insatiable thirst. I drank glass after glass of water for at least two hours. (I also had to use the restroom every 10/15min, which is a concern for days I have to work. I drive long distances for work) At the second hour I had a crazy burst of energy and started deep cleaning my entire house. After I finished, I felt tired so I laid in my bed. I was in it for 30-45min, but could not go to sleep. I got up and ate two pizza slices, which is normal for me. I guess it takes a while before your appetite is suppressed."


"Today I took Excedrin migraine for the first time, it worked very well for the pain, it took it away completely but now I am in bed feeling with stomach pain, nausea and heartburn. I feel miserable, I've never had medication bother my stomach before. I don't have a sensitive stomach at all. It's amazing for killing the migraine but the stomach pain is not worth it. I normally take 800 mg of ibuprofen and a strong cup of coffee when I get a migraine and it works great for me but this time a friend asked me to try this so I did and it hasn't worked.  "


"Night sweats. Many trips to bathroom during the night, urinating."


"Constipation, dizziness, hallucinations while sleeping."


"My experience has been HORRIBLE. I got it after I gave birth on Nov 2012 and at the begginig it was cool. I have not gained weight i have just lost mad weight and it sucks I weigh less then I've ever weighed before. On March of 2013 I got my period and now is Nov. and I still have it non-stop full on period and it sucks I have an appt on Nov 13th to get it removed. I have lost my sex drive, I've been bipolar this thing had made me crazy I cannot wait to get it removed and have my life back. Would not recomend it to anyone."


"I absolutely love this product and recommend to everyone. I know everyone's body is different, so it is not for everyone, but it is not the medicines fault. I have NO negative symptoms since I started this. I used to have heavy periods, terrible cramps and headaches, and my periods were super long. I now have super consistent 3-4 LIGHT periods, no cramps or headaches. I have been on this pill for over a year now and have no desire to switch."


"I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer & had a total thyroidectomy & also lost one parathyroid. The dr used high levels of iodine during my surgery and my endocrinologist had to put me on an iodine free diet for 4 months to clear it from my body. During this time I wasn't allowed to take any thyroid meds at all. I spent that entire time in bed under an electric blanket turned on high during a Vegas summer. Nothing normal there. I was a zombie. I had to have help to use the bathroom, shower & everything I was so weak. After RAI I started Synthroid. A few months later I noticed small improvements but gained 50# within the first year. It's been 7 years now and I'm worse all the time. I've lost my life to this. I'm switching to Armour."


"I have a form of muscular dystrophy and take this for my chronic severe pain. I've been on the immediate release 2x 50 mg a day. It is a miracle for me. I can function way better than I could on norco or oxy and it works way better for managing my pain than lesser pain killers like ultram. I've tried both the ER and IR and found the ER to not be as effective for me.

nucynta IR has seriously given me more quality of life. The only downside for me is there is not yet a generic available and it's extremely expensive (even with insurance)."


"Was on bc when I was 18, had every side effect possible with the pill stayed on it about 3 weeks.   Was afraid to start bc again because past experiences,  I'm 25 now and was recommended yas because of adult acne after pregnancy. The first 3 months were fine no side effects and face has been clearing up great.  2 weeks into month 4 and I have literally gained over half a stone in 2 weeks and severe bloating.  I've been bleeding for the last 3 weeks.  Don't know what's going on but I'm stopping it as of now.  Would not recommend this."


"I have been using nuva ring for 6 months now after switching from the pill for 5 years. I have mixed emotions about nuva ring. I love the fact that it is very convenient and I never have to worry about taking a pill on time every day. I hardly have to thinkg about and most of the time I don’t feel the ring at all, occasionally it slips down and I just have to push it back up- not a big deal. My periods actually seem heavier and last longer than what I experienced with the pill. I’m hoping with continued use, they won’t be as bad. Also, nuva ring is pretty expensive, I wish there was a generic version on the market. The biggest draw back for me is my diminished sex drive. My fiancé and I went from having sex at least 4-5 times a week to maybe once a week and that’s because I force myself to. I’m seriously considering switching back to the pill solely because of this. Other than the decreased sex drive, I haven’t experienced any other side effects like weight gain or moodiness."


"I got the implant in March 2009... a little over a year. My only problem is the weight gain. I have gained 48lbs. I also got acne and have had my period twice since I got it."


"My arm burned and itched all the time and I had a extremely pain full period that lasted months non-stop the length of the time it was in my arm"


"I've had the Paragard for 3.5 years. It's great for women who want/need a hormone free birth control.  It is pretty expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it, so I'm sure that's a major factor for a lot of women. If I didn't want to be hormone free, I think the Mirena would be better for me. Insertion was painful...don't make any plans the rest of the day and have someone nearby to whine to and do stuff for you. And ibuprofen is necessary when I'm cramping from my period/ovulation. But it's worth it for me and I'd recommend it."


"Neurologist started me on 25 mcg and I didn't feel any relief until 50mcg and no side effects. Over time went to 75 mcg and then to 100mcg with fabulous results. Patch is to be changed every 3 days, but I had to every two days and was prescribed to do so. This is a fabulous medication for severe chronic pain relief, HOWEVER it's really hard to come off of, so be sure it's done properly down 25mcg every 3 months and the last 25 goes than to 12mcg for 3 months and done. "


"After taking Nexium for a year with little relief, I asked for something BETTER...they were hesitant due to the cost (that's a shame, but true) and after a few samples, I was CONVINCED that it was a miracle and worth the extra money. I have been on it over 6 months now and my husband hasn't heard me complain once, about my stomach, that is. "


"I started taking phentermine 30mg on Feb 25 201. My start weight was 244.9 lb , now March 22 2017 I weigh 224 lbs so I've lost 20 lbs . I drink nothing but water LOTS of water and eat at least 3 small meals a day vegetable, chicken, tuna , etc and snack on nuts. I do exercise at least 3-4 times a week , I stop eating after 7 pm my goal weight is 160! I just want to feel good and like what I see when I look in the mirror."


"First 2 days were euphoric and nothing could upset me. Then got more irritable and anxious. Stomach in knots. Then came depression & thoughts of suicide along with anxiety. Yawning all the time. This is day 7 and I left a message with my doctor this morning letting her know I couldn't feel like this for another week in hopes that it would possibly even out."


"I was on Microgestin for about half a year when my insurance made me choose between paying or switching to Blisovi. I chose Blisovi and only after being on another birth control did I truly recognize how amazing Microgestin is. It stopped my horrible cramps and excessively heavy and long periods in their tracks and gave me my life back. I've never experienced any negative side effects on it. The only bad thing I can say is it almost works a little too good, as in my periods pretty much disappeared. It's weird to go from a week long blood bath to like an hour-long spot of blood as your period, but hey beggars can't be choosers! I don't care, I'll pay to stay on Microgestin than that horrible Blisovi!"


"This is the worst product ever, I had a severe allergic reaction, and had to go to the emergency room, for them to prescribe me 5 different medicine's, just to make the swelling and pain go away 3 days later... I do not recommend this product to anyone especially if your pregnant. I know for sure it will make it worst."


"Bigger than expected pill.  I prefer a smaller prenatal vitamin.  I am not sure if I like the egg product."


"I was given 1mg IV prior to surgery. The first 30 seconds were scary, I felt warmth spreading through my body and my vision was blurry. I was instructed to close my eyes. After the initial strangeness passed, I felt no pain at all. This is powerful, but when in pain, it did the trick quickly."


"I've never felt better. I can't believe I've been missing this. My energy has gone up. My moods are more stable than ever. It's only been three weeks and hope this good momentum continues!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"My low mark is all based on the taste.  Yes, it cleared me completely in the first 2hrs of first dose.  This hell in a cup tasted like what blood smells like.  I wouldn't wish this stuff on my worst enemy.  I don't know how I'll get up at 6am & drink it again...gagging at the thought."


"I've been taking Aciphex since 2001 and it has worked wonders on my GERD.  Before I retired from active duty in 2003, one doctor switched me to another brand.  Next thing you know I was in the hospital with extreme chest pain - all caused by GERD.  I went back on the Aciphex and have been comfortable ever since."


"I was bleeding large clots nonstop for 3 months.  I kept going to the ER and they did nothing.  The last time I went my RBC count was so low I had to have 2 blood transfusions along with surgery.  I was given Provera to take.  I have been taking it now for 5 days and the blood is completely gone.  I am just worried it will come back when the pills are gone."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I had a MRSA staph infection when I was 14. I had almost died from the infection and due to my heart problems it made things even more complicated with treatment. I was in the hospital and had to get surgery on my right had to remove the mass of it. I was released days later after Zyvox started to kill off the rest of it. I took the medicine for 2 weeks and a charity started by the Zyvox company covered most of the expenses."


"My anxiety was constant through out the day and night, crippling, preventing me from doing much other then sleep to avoid it. After trying pregabalin over a two years, with limited success. 150mg once a day (which I was advised, but its not right dosage as it dissipates in 12 hours as I understand it). I then tried 150mg twice a day with limited success and then 300mg twice a day (this had no different). But then I hit on, the idea of taking it, three times, a day, exactly every eight hours (8am, 4pm, 12am)  and this completely eliminated my GAD, making  me functional, but I have to be very careful to stick to the correct times to take the dose, out by an hour and my GAD returns with vengeance."


"I did not have any problems with it. I used it for one year and then later for two years straight. It is really good for short-term birth control. It is expensive, though. I could not use the generic Kariva. "


"Aftera does not work!!! I took it maybe 12 hours after I had unprotected sex and it failed me. The box says you have up to 72 hours to take it. I am now 6 weeks pregnant. So disappointed"


Hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate

"I developed very sudden urges and discomfort which I thought was a UTI. After many cultures and a negative diagnosis it took 5 months of sheer misery for anyone to tell me I might have IC I am in my 60s this was all new for me. The spasms and urgency are through the roof yet no infection is present. Without Uribel, my life would be unmanageable. As it is, I still can't leave the house too often, but Uribel takes away a lot of the discomfort. I have no idea how or why this happened to me, but at least this medication makes life a little more bearable. The only problem that it may present is that I have developed an inflammation in the public/vaginal area that may be an allergy to this medication. Tests show nothing but inflammation."


"Taking 1-2mg as needed for panic disorder. I try to limit taking it 2, 3 times a week and only when my anxiety is so bad I can not cope with it on my own. I do not want to be on antidepressants because of the side effects so this is a great option for me."


"I was diagnosed wit Ulcerative Colitis 3 years ago after being on several different meds for it. My doc and I decided to try Remicade.. it works fine I think but the side effect for me was diarrhea. Plus the cost I just couldn't afford it any longer. I am back on Asacol."


"I suffer from migraines, and although this drug significantly reduced my acid, it seemed to trigger my migraines for four consecutive days. I am disappointed that I had to get off it, am trying Prilosec now."


"Was on this for a few months, it's newer to the market. It didn't work at all for me. Prozac is the only successful antidepressant I've taken."


"I love how fast I get relief with this and how the melting form ones work when I'm nauseated."


"Got this for chlamydia- This treatment's effective but side effects have me crying and shaking uncontrollably.  I got excruciating stomach cramps (felt like I was giving birth) about 3 hours later and then nausea/diarrhea. The fever just kicked in after 6 hours. Worth the quick treatment but not an easy recovery."


"After taking this medicine for six months now I feel much better I have a lot more energy I could think more clear. However when I first started it I had headaches for the first month and still to this day I sweat excessively but it's worth the side effects to know that my head is clear and my anxiety is half of what it used to be."


"My insomnia has gotten gradually worse for the past 5 years (I'm in my early 50s). Never had a problem falling asleep, but wouldn't sleep longer than 4 hours before I would wake up feeling almost wide awake. Then I would lie awake for a few hours, by then I would doze for up to an hour before it would be time to get up. My Dr. had me on Ambien for a couple years but I hardly ever took it, in fact the medicine would lose their potency before I ever finished the supply.
Dr. changed me over to 30 mg. of temazapam and over the past 10 days I've tried it twice and each time I had the best nights' sleep I'd had in years! With a minimum of 6 hours without waking up. I love this medication but I'm only going to take 1 /week."


"Bactrim was prescribed to my 3 year old for a boil. Although the boil went away after 4 doses she got a super high fever and complained of headache and was very lethargic. I called her doctor and he directed me to continue the medication for a few more days to complete a 7 day regimen. Eventually she broke out in hives head to toe and I rushed her to the emergency room. Allergic reaction to sulfa drugs."


"Severe diarrhea within 36 hours of starting.  875 mg twice a day."


"Rated Alli an 8 as I am using in conjunction with weight watchers, so don’t know if it is WW, Alli or the combination of the two, I have not experienced any side effects and week 1 lost 5lb"


"I could stop using it without withdrawals and it didn't have the extreme highs and lows of most benzodiazepines."


"First I tried Ambien, loved it! But after a week or so I started having a reaction of itching so they stopped it. Then on to Lunesta it gave me a headache every morning but it did make me sleep.  They stopped it. Then on to Temazapam 30 mg. It works within 1-2 hours. I sleep good for 6-8 hrs. Usually, sometimes I still will have trouble falling asleep or waking in the night but it's not every night so it's an improvement!"


"This muscle relaxer is very good at relaxing my muscle if taken for several days; it is slow acting.  The negative side is that my doctor only lets me take it when I have a flare-up, so I have to take it about 4 days before I get any relief and then when I stop taking it, it stays in my system for about 3 days and then I go right back to my normal baseline level of pain.  I wish I could take it everyday because I feel so much less pain overall when I have it built up in my system."


"Had taken this for 60 days, now I am experiencing severe head/forehead pain. I can't take the pain anymore. When I realised that this is causing head pain, I had stop taking. Now its ok. Also this tabs will decrease your sex drive. If you are married and still young, please think twice before taking this. My BP is fine and heart rate is normal now."


"I'm not sure about this birth control quite yet. I was on trinessa back in November or so and it worked fantastic for me, cleared up my acne, no nausea or any other side affects. Then I got really sick and had to  stop taking the pill for a month or two, and when I tried to get back on it I had continuous discharge for over 5 months so I decided to switch to the shot but didn't like it, so here I am. When I started  I felt nauseous all the time, my boobs hurt, stomach pains and cramps, and worst of all my acne. I never used to get cystic acne, but now I get it all over my mouth, chin, forehead, and under my nose, I hate it I keep reading reviews, and it's freaking me out. I'm not sure if I should continue taking this or not for 2 or 3 month"


"So I started on Contrave on March 20th. Before I was on Wellbutrin for many years and since the Wellbutrin is in Contrave, my doctor had me discontinue the Wellbutrin when I started. With this in mind my doctor had me start my 1st day with 1 in the am and 1 in the pm.
So now I am at 2 and 2 a day. The 1st week I was super hungry, 2 week I was extremely nauseous with no cravings and Fuller but I still wanted to eat. I am gaining weight and have extreme constipation. I regularly take Linzess and senekot for this and it doesn't help.
Can anyone relate? Will it get better?"


"I have only been on Estarylla for a month and I am having nothing but issues. I go to the gym regularly and eat a healthy diet and I have done nothing but gain weight. I feel swollen and bloated constantly and I have headaches almost every day. It was given to me as the generic for Sprintec (which was amazing) and I can't believe how different they are. I am emotional and on edge all of the time. I don't even want to know what my period will feel like if this is what I am going through already. I don't know why anyone would want to put themselves through this even for just a birth control. I do not recommend Estarylla at all."


"Took for 5 months.  First 4 months great.  Then got intermittent tingling and numbess in arms.  Over next month tingling went to constant throbbing.  Pain shooting down right arm.  Stopped pill.  It has been 7 days and left arm back to normal.  Right arm slight numbness and some discomfort but getting much better.  Be aware of symptoms!"


"Context- I have the Sklya IUD to prevent pregnancy and also because of extremely painful and heavy periods. I got the Skyla (my first IUD) inserted in May 2015 (10 months ago). The insertion- Very painful. However, keep in mind that I've always had very severe cramps. It felt like a pinch combined with the worst period cramps I've ever had. After about 10 minutes of severe pain, I went from a 10 to a 2; it's amazing how fast relief comes after. Result 10 months later- I ultimately love the Skyla. I love having worry-free sex with my husband, my periods are extremely consistent & light. The only downside is that unlike BC with estrogen, this doesn't do much for my skin. It didn't make it worse, but it didn't really help either. I recommend!!"


"I have tried a lot of different medications for my anxiety, and nothing has ever worked, that is; until I was prescribed Atarax.  I was going through some very, very stressful times and had to go on something.  Nothing has ever helped me, not Paxil, Lexapro, Effexor, Zoloft.  I know that is a lot of different ones!  But this is spread out over many years of trying new ones, not one of them really worked for me, and I had lots of bad side effects from them.  Atarax was one that I had never heard of, till the doctor prescribed it to me.  Immediately it works.  You take it, and within 30 mins it kicks in, and last for hours.  You can take one or two at a time, every six hours.  The only side effect is sleepiness, and I did experience this."


"I used to smoke at least 2 packets per day for almost 20 years. I severally tried to quit without sucess. It was in 2001 while visiting a doctor friend when I learnt about the wonder drug zyban and decided to give it a try. I took 1 tablet per day for 1 week and has never looked back. No claving and no side effects.  After 1 week of no smoking at all, I gave the rest of the medication to a friend. The way I think zyban has a degree of success is when an individual also desires and is determined to quit. All I needed was 3 days of no smoking"


"Reading all the posts/comments on here - PEOPLE - if you are still feeling bad and not noticing relief from symptoms of an underactive thryoid PLEASE TELL YOUR doctor.  If your doctor disagrees with you then find an ENDOCRINOLOGIST to get a second opinion.  They specialize in endocrine issues which the thyroid falls under.

You know your own body better than your doctor - research the symptoms of an underactive thryoid and if you are still feeling them - then get a second opinion.

Never stop taking this medication on your own,  it takes 4 to 6 And be aware that when you start this m weeks to notice a difference in your body.  Also, ask your doctor to write DISPENSE AS WRITTEN on your prescription to avoid the pharmacy giving generic"


"I have been taking Yasmin for 8 years (with a 10 month break after 5 years). I stopped to have a baby, pregnant within the first month off the pill and back on it right after birth. This pill has been great! Clear skin, no weight gain or side effects. I think people starting any pill will have a rough beginning but give it a chance. All body types are different so nothing works for everyone.... But this worked great for me."


"Been using treximet since 2008. Was upgrade from relpax 40mg. I get 6-8 migraines per month. Treximet works    faster than imitrex and relpax. For me, treximet is active within 30-40 min or 2 hours if the migraine is very strong. Imitrex took 4-6 hours, relpax took 2-3 hours. Only side effect is drowsiness. Very happy with results but prefer if it was not so expensive."


"I've had an annoying and embarrassing hay fever related symptom for about 10 years. First red eyes and  itchy tear ducts which progressed to eyelid twitching. At first my eyelids twitched whenever I sneezed, but then it would happen randomly and increased in frequency. It became so bad I would avoid meetings at the office. I tried the common hayfever medication and some helped off and on but I could never get the darn twitching to stop. A few months ago I saw my doctor for an unrelated issue and he prescribed Nasonex. My hay fever, itchy eyes and eyelid twitching DISAPPEARED within a few days. I feel like a new person now!!!"
