"I just had my fourth Botox injection for migraine. So far it's helping. The migraines haven't been eliminated, but they've been reduced in number and severity, and there are more days between clusters of headache days. I STRONGLY recommend going to a headache specialist or neurologist for an evaluation before trying this. Botox works best for migraines that involve involuntary tightening of the tiny muscles in the forehead, temples, and along the "migraine band" on the sides of the head. If those aren't contributing to a person's migraines, then Botox is unlikely to work. Be forewarned that getting needles stuck in your tender scalp does hurt, some days more than others. My neurologist prescribed a topical anesthetic cream for next time."


"I am 47 having AS for 26 years.
last 5 months have starting using Embrel, I can not describe the results...
try it yourself...
amazing"


"I have had Mirena 5 years and it worked perfectly and had no problems... Then I had it taken out and another put in. Ever since I have had migraines and acne on chin and back and sometimes I get a sharp pain in the area where the mirena is placed, it hasn't moved, or embedded. I don't understand how the first one was so perfect and now the past year with second one has been so awful... I don't know what to do at this point!?"


"I was on trinessa for 4.5 years, originally went on it to control my acne, which it did for the most part, but definitely not 100%, despite having a strict face cleansing routine. It didn't start to clear my skin for at least 2 months, at that time I also increased about two cup sizes which was nice. I had slight moodswings in the first 3 months but I think thats to be expected when going on the pill. Haven't had moodswings since the first 3 months. Im going off of it now because in the past week I have noticed I'm breaking out a lot and i think I've been on this too long for it to keep controlling my acne."


"After one injection I experienced swelling of hands and feet. My blood pressure elevated by more than 50 #.

Praulent researchers said I had an autoimmune reaction and that it all would pass as the Praulent left my system. After 8 months I still have the High blood pressure.

I am currently being checked for Vasculitis as the result of my autoimmune reaction."


"I have suffered from migraines for over 30 years and tried so many different medicines. Treximet is the ONLY medicine I have found that I can trust to actually get rid of my headache. It is completely gone within 2 hours - but I can feel it going away within 30 minutes. I have my life back because I know it works. Took some getting used to - it made my neck feel warm and very tired, but the trade-off of being free from a debilitating headache is so worth it.  I find that if I keep busy after it starts working I don't get as tired as if I just sit down with it (then I will want to sleep and this lasts for several hours.) Downside? Getting 9 in a prescription is irritating - makes me have to decide if my headache is "Treximet-worthy.""


"I was at the end of my rope I had come to the point where I hated getting high. The only reason I used was to take away the physical pain. So yes I agree Suboxone IS a miracle medicine. "


"I found this medication to numb everything.  I had no emotion.  I was extreemly tired and would sleep 14 hrs a night.  I also gained 120 pounds in a year.  I found this medication provoked my bulimia due to uncontrollable hunger.  I would recommend this medication for very short term on an emergency basis."


"Although with side effects, this medication made my bipolar symptoms almost disappear. It works a little on my delusions. The side effects I have a tiredness, akathisia (internal restlessness) and muscle twitches. My hands especially tremble a lot. Overall it's worth it not be suicidal constantly."


"I am a 19 year old healthy female, 5'2 138 pounds, however I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I was having readings as high as 165/106. My doctor prescribed me this, 25MG once before I go to bed every night. I was on this for about two weeks before I started noticing a lot of hair falling out. Thank God she took me off before it got too noticeable, but other than this side affect I feel it was a pretty decent medication, it definitely lowered my blood pressure."


"I took Methadone for 2 years for back pain. I never use it for Herion addiction. After I stopped using it ( which was 3 years ago) I still can not be medicated with any of the other opiates, or any type of tranq, not even cold medicine All my DR could say was, I've got a lot of patients like you. What the heck does the mean, that I'm on my own? Next time I have surgery I guess I drink a fifth of whiskey and bite the bullet? Does anyone a medicine that can help reverse this,"


"I had the Mirena placed a month ago and I have to say I really like it. No effort besides the panty liners from the never ending spotting/clot like blood spots. I am a breastfeeding mother this or the estrogen free pill was my only choice and knowing me having a 8 month old I would NEVER get around to taking that pill. The insertion was not fun but since I breastfeed I finally got my period back 6 months postp and they disappeared again so my Dr. Decided to put in the Mirena without me being on my period. very painful with serious contractions then

2hrs later my period came back tooksome T3 this passed all together in one night. I would recommend!! I didn't give it a higher score because I have only had it for a month. Happy!"


"Last night was the first time I tried trazadone 25mg.  Fell asleep pretty quickly but had unpleasant dreams.  Woke after about 7 or 8 hrs. with a horrible hangover feeling.  After taking 2 Excedrin I felt almost normal.  Will try again to see if I can overcome side effects."


"This is the first medicine that has helped my 14 year old daughter. She has tried Prozac, zoloft, vyvanse, pristiq and some help from Wellbutrin. She has not been accurately diagnosed. Many different professionals have suggested dysthymia, anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, MDD and bipolar II. She has been hospitalized 3 times. The last time she got out of the hospital, I asked if we could try a mood stabilizer. Lamictal was the doctors first choice. We slowly titrated up to 200 (it took 3 months), but it was well worth the wait. No side affects. No more roller coaster rides. Most importantly, my daughter has an understanding of what can trigger her moods and has the clarity to learn more about herself."


"I took this a while back and lost 16 lbs in one month. I wanted to try the Belviq instead so Dr prescribed that. Made me dizzy and disoriented so started back on the Bontril again.  This time around in doing the Atkins diet along with it so I should be ready to go to Cozemel in January. This stuff is great."


"I had been taking warfarin for many years  for Antiphospholipid syndrome and been pestering my Dr. if I could switch to Xarelto instead, as I'd had enough of the constant INR tests. Finally, my haematologist agreed. (The drug is not normally prescribed for my condition.) I was given 20mg to be taken once daily with breakfast. The first two weeks passed with no problems, but on the third week, I had a really bad dizzy spell and almost fainted. Fortunately, I managed to sit down before I did faint. I spoke to my haematologist and she suggested that I take it just before going to bed instead of the morning. So far it's worked. With my condition, migraines are a symptom and they have got slightly worse since taking Xarelto. But I still much prefer it to warfarin & INR tests!"


"I was on Augmentin twice a day for 7 days. I thought I would have diarrhea and cramps, headaches all the fun stuff with antibiotics but all that happened to me is about 2 hours after taking it I found myself VERY sleepy which it was bedtime anyways. Just try to take it 2 to 3 hours BEFORE bed so it won't upset you stomach while you are sleeping. Also what really helped me is drinking Dan Active yogurt so I get no diarrhea while taking it and it works well but I also was taking Culturelle (Probiotics). That AND the yogurt helped with diarrhea very well. "


"I started Mononessa after one injection of Depo and I absolutely love this pill. My periods are so predictable in terms of heaviness and length. Cleared up my skin a lot. It's a pain to remember to take it every day but I've only ever forgotten twice in my two years. Never had a pregnancy scare on it (knock on wood) and I haven't used any other method of BC since starting it which is probably not recommended. I was nauseous for the first few months only after starting a new pack but now I never am. The only thing is, I think it negatively effects my mood and sex drive. I'm currently considering a non hormonal method to experience my natural hormones and moods for a change. It's hard to say good-bye to a BC that's been so good to me though"


"The nausea alone is what made me give this medication a 1. Not only are you over-the-top nauseous, but the tired feeling and nasty metallic taste is overwhelming! I will most definitely be calling my doctor tomorrow for the gel."


"I've been taking Bupropion 150mg XL for a number of years. It has worked quite well for me, but I began taking it just every other day, and I find I'm still doing well. I don't like taking any more medication than I have to.  I also take generic Lexapro 10mg at bedtime. I started to notice a big difference when that was added about 3 yrs ago. It doesn't put me to sleep, but helps turn off my mind so I can. I've tried decreasing use, like with the Buproprion, but that didn't work. Depression increased. The only thing I don't like is that I just don't feel happy as often as I used to; sometimes I realize I feel kind of blank, and don't think I should. But it's worth not feeling depressed. My brain thinks before my emotions kick in. Good!"


"I've been on Buspirone for many years. I also take Lamotrigine (Lamictil).  I have a less anxiety but a lot of social anxiety still. What I didn't connect, until reading a lot of fellow Buspirone takers here, is that the faintness I get (feeling like I'll pass out if I don't sit) and also about every 3 months I get the dizzyness.  Sometimes when I lay down in bed the ceiling looks like it's spinning wildly.  I always have to bring snacks with me everywhere for those times of faintness.  I thought they were just how I am normally.  I'll have to check with my doctor. I'd have thought she'd have brought that up before :(  I don't remember if I had the other symptoms of some here, with the headaches and nausea.  Too long ago."


"I am 56 and was initially tested at 246.  Symptoms were low energy, continuous minor ailments, grumpiness, occasional inability to concentrate, and a low sex drive.  I was put on 1% Androgel and felt better almost immediately.  It was easy to apply and absorbed quickly.  At refill time my insurance company denied Androgel and switched me to Fortesta.  After starting Fortesta (4 pumps) the brain fog has not returned, but I don't always feel as sharp as when I was on Androgel.  My energy level is okay but not great.  And it's not as easy to apply, it goes on the thigh and does not absorb quickly.  My 60-day lab work had me at 244, actually lower than before treatment, so now I am at 8 pumps.  We'll see how it goes."


"I've been taking Soma for one week. It works. Fell from a horse 25 years ago - chronic back spasms. Tried Flexeril, Robaxin and Skelaxin. This works best. Flexeril comes in 2nd. I did notice some disorientation while driving. Not sure if it is a combination of Chantix and Soma, or only one. I can sleep almost through the entire night - what a relief!"


"I may not be the right demographic for this medication but works well and better than lugging around a pill bottle and swallowing a pill with water.  Comes in individual blister packs and easy to transport for ADHD travelling business professionals like myself."


"Cycled off opiates after a severe multi-trauma accident onto a pamelor/amitryptilline combo.  Worked very well.  Definitely get yourself some eyedrops, though.  Needed the brand name, because the generic gave me cardiac arrythmias.  I am very impressed with this drug."


"Smoked for close to 40 years. Never tried to quit but wife had melanoma and I could not see myself taking her to a cancer waiting room smelling like a cigratte. Took Chantix for the first 3 days while smoking (tasted like straw); took the full dose on a Thursday and by Friday stopped taking Chantix (made me feel weird). Who cares. Haven't smoked in 5 years, have had absolutely no desire to smoke (or take Chantix). Try it. You have nothing to lose."


"I have had Nexplanon for about a year now. I got it since I can't remember to take the pill. I have gained 20lbs, I haven't had a period since my daughter was born last July (2014) and I get headaches everyday , depressed moods and get angry very quickly, which is unlike me. I am always hungry. I had to go on an antidepressant to calm my depression down. Only pro is I haven't gotten pregnant."


"Suffered from cold sores since a young teen.  Not only do I break out from large ones that cover half my lips but I will get them on my cheeks.  Without treatment they will last around 9 days.

I take valtrex at the first signs.  I will take 4 pills and then another 4 12 hours later.  I just had a break out and the bump was already big and itchy took my 4 pills before bed and another 4 when I woke up.  Bumps were gone with no cabbing by day 2!"


"Prescribed 750mg for 5 days to treat UTI. It worked faster than ciprofloxacin, and no diarrhea."


"I have PTSD. Depression. Anxiety. Bone pain. I'm not one for pills, in the past I've been used as a Guinea pig for a plethora of meds and I've also self medicated before PTSD was diagnosed. I've several issues from long term injuries including broken leg and multiple internal injuries from stabbing.

I was on sertraline for a year while on diazepam and dehydracodeine for pain relief, they made me a shadow of myself. I found a new doctor who recognised instantly my TBI, PTSD ISSUES etc. He prescribed me duloxetine 30mg, a month later I've felt nothing, if anything I was doing less, still in pain and still in a dark place mentally.

I revisited him last week to review, he upped my dose to 60mg and the difference is unbelievable! Pain down, depression gone!Anxiety all time low!✅ "


"Very useful medicine.  Could finally sleep while on it and wasnt nearly as anxious as usual.  No side effects so far."


"It worked very well. It cured my infection, but constant severe pelvic cramps, light headedness, dissiness and nausea were my side effects."


"I've had chronic pain in my shoulder for years which is a result from a pinched nerve in my 5th vertebrae which causes my entire left arm to go numb. Roxicet has made a real difference in my life because sometimes the pain is so unbearable that it wakes me out of a sleep when I don't take them. It get a thumbs up from me."


"I am 33, and have been suffering with toenail fungus and athlete's feet for over ten years.  I have tried everything OTC with no results on the nails and good results on the atrial fibrillation but it always came back.  Like many of you I don't go out often with open toed shoes unless I wear socks.  I am in my first 30 days of Lamisil and I can already tell a difference in my atrial fibrillation, not quite sure about toenails yet it's too early to tell.  So far no side effects."


"I've been on Nexplanon for 4 months and I love it! It has helped my cystic acne and I only had my period the first month.  No pills to remember and no side effects for me other than no more period. It's so nice not having a period! No weight gain issues either.  Very happy with this decision!!"


"I quit with Chantix in December and have not picked up since. I have thought about it, but then I smell smoke and I want to throw up. I smoked for almost 40 years."


"I started taking it about 6 weeks ago for sarcoma.  The only trouble I have had with it has been some gastro discomfort.  But I was taking it first thing in the morning on a totally empty stomach.  Now I eat breakfast and take it two hours later.  Then eat some yogurt an hour later and so far all the stomach pain is gone.  I do have some food allergies and a slight case of irritable bowel syndrome so I was not really surprised when I had the stomach pain.
I have a CT 2/13/13 to see if the tumors are continuing to stay shrunk.  But I feel fine.
"


"Dulera is working great on my breathing and helping me cough up excess mucus but my pain level in the parts of my body that have osteoarthritis seems to have increased. I know my blood pressure is up so my doctor did add another blood pressure that's helping take care of that. I just am in pain wherever I have osteoarthritis, has anyone else experienced this?"


"I started this medication for weight loss on 01/15/10 and Today is 02/14/10 I am a female, age 22 and started out at 227lbs and I am down to 210lbs. That's 17 lbs. The first day I took this medication I could not believe my lack of interest in food. However, the first 2 days on this medication I had a horrible headache, bad taste in my mouth, and extreme dry mouth. Symptoms DID go away after 2 days, so that was the good part.  I exercise about 2 days a week, at this time. I would suggest to team up with your Dr with this so he can keep an eye on your blood pressure, wt loss, heart rate, etc. This medication has started to wear off recently but my eating habits are on the right track. Other than that, this medication is amazing!"


"Reading all your testimonies gives me hope. All though a few of you have had a bad experience or no relief at all. Majority seems in favor. I was recently diagnosed with TN. Never heard of it, also never felt pain like this in my life. Wakes me up, only eat when I'n starving, haven't been to the gym in 3 weeks. I've only been on it for 3 days and so far no change. I guess it takes sometime to get into your system. 100 Mg 2 times a day. Not tired or dopey at all. Seems like the people with the higher Mg have those symptoms. Well wish me luck. One thing I just recently discovered, if i'm looking down I start to get that twitch in my lip. Then I lean my head way back as I was lookin in the sky it seems to calm down."


"Hello everyone

I have been using CONTRAVE since September 30th 2016 and as of today October 11th  i have lost 10lbs.I have not had any side effects. I have never been so happy taking a pill.. I recommend  you trying it if nothing else has worked for you.  I think everyone that experiencing the Nausea did not quit drinking with this pill. Make sure your Dr tells you exactly how this drug was discovered to help many people loose weight.  I did also cut my calorie intake down as well. Be sure and sign up on the CONTRAVE website so you can get your discounts and support. I am also involved in a group called Scale Down. They sent me a scale and I weigh everyday which by the way makes you accountable  for what you eat."


"Been on amlodipine 3 years. Initially basileate but got pain and itching in hands and arms like RSI. Allergic to basileate. Now on amlodipine maleate and no probs. Slight swelling in ankles but remedied with additional candasartan 16mg. Feel lots better. Worth checking out the maleate if probs with itching tingling and pain in upper limbs."


"I got the nexplanon implanted on December 11, 2016. My experience has been great so far. The first two months my period stay on for a total of nine days each, since then I have not any bleeding at all. I also had headaches and cramping the first two months but that has also diminish. The only problems I have is nausea, breast tenderness and weight gain but I am fine with the weight gain because I could use a little weight. I hate the nausea feeling and the small increase in breast size but I can handle it.  Hopefully, I don't become overweight. Overall, I love this birth control method. I don't have to worry about remembering to take the pill."


"Have been taking 2 per day, 50 mg tablets for about 3 years. Irregular heart beat and high pulse rate with even brief exertion have been essentially eliminated.   My life is much more comfortable and much less worrisome.  I do believe my vision has become somewhat more blurry, but the + outweighs the -."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Eliquis for eight months now.  I have been in and out of atrial fibrillation, and have had no problems with Eliquis.  None of the side effects have appeared for me.  It is easy to use and a huge improvement over warfarin."


"I've been on this for 3 weeks now. It has definitely helped my mania. But I'm still very depressed. I've been having very vivid nightmares. Which is strange because I take medicine for those. I also take Ambien and citolopram. I feel like that's a lot of chemicals in my body. I am a drinker but that hasn't seemed to affect anything. My side effects are pretty much exactly what I've been told and read up on. With the exception of the bad dreams. Blood work must be fine. Doc hasn't called. So far so good."


"I have tried many pills and this one was better than the rest but I am switching because I get terrible migraines. On this pill I was getting 16-20 days of migraines even though this has the lowest, constant dose of estrogen. Multi-phasic pills gave me 20-25 days of migraines. I switch to an intrauterine device and had 1-2 days but I don't want to deal with the cramping again so I am going to try something else. Good Birth Control but bad for migraines."


"So this drug really helped with my depression but it also has some bad side effects. Please please please never skip a dose of this stuff. You will feel like absolute trash. As long as I take it every 24 hours it works perfectly for both my anxiety and depression but if I miss a dose, the side effects are awful. My whole body feels like white noise, my limbs buzz, I'm dizzy and nauseous, and can barely concentrate. Also, I don't know everyone else's experience with the medicine, but I used to be on the 150 mg dose and let me tell you. I couldn't orgasm no matter how much I wanted to and it sucked. I know it was the medicines fault cause when I lowered my dose to 75 mg I could orgasm again. The medicine ridiculously lowers my libido."


"I am 25 years old and have never been pregnant.  Due to having migraines with aura, I needed an estrogen-free form of BC.  I was on Depo Provera ('the shot') for 1.5 years and HATED it.  I gained 20lb without changing my diet, spotted for a year straight with no breaks, and was an overall mess.  Mirena was the obvious choice for me.  Insertion was not fun (<5 min.) and the 2 hours after insertion I had awful period-like cramps.  However, they subsided and by the end of the night, I was okay. The next morning, no pain!  My spotting from the Depo even lifted.  I have only been on Mirena less than a week, but so far I love it.   My anxiety definitely made the insertion process worse, so try to relax."


"I started taking this drug to battle mild depression.  50mg a day.

Pros:

1) more energy than usual.  I go to the gym more than I used to (losing weight).  I go the "extra mile" at work, I got a promotion (financial industry/hedge funds).  2) depression started to fade

Cons: 1) DR told me to take it before bed. INSOMNIA was so severe I switched to morning. 2) no desire for sex. 3) I started to feel numb, not literally.  Stuff I care about, I no longer do.  This is where the depression starts to fade (partly). Hard to explain this one... 4) I'm alienating myself from friends. I like spending time alone, but I'm spending even more so now. 5) I have to take Ativan before bed from time to time due to extra energy"


"I have been off and on meds for many years, I thought 120mg of Cymbalta a day was working, then I went to see another DR about racing thoughts and ways that I could end my life. So the DR and I went over my protocol with a fine tooth comb and he moved some things around. He put me on Pristiq (oh great another one to try) but this was different. I started with 50 mg and then to 100 mg within 48 hours. He also added Valium 10 mg 4 times a day and I feel great. Everything is changing for the good and I hope that you talk with your DR about this. The only thing bad I can say about this medicine is that I wished that I had found it sooner. "


"I was first prescribed fioricet for hormonal headaches during my pregnancy. It was so effective and helped ease the pain. It did make me drowsy. I still use it for chronic headaches as-needed. The only thing I wish for is that it would work a little more quickly. It takes 45min-1hr for my headaches to ease off. Great help all-around, though!"


"My Doctor put me on TriCor 145mg because she said my triglycerides were way to high.  I don't know what the numbers were.  I just do what my doc says I should do.   Went and did lab test.  My doctor said Tricor brought my triglycerides and other things way down to where she is happy. I asked her if the dose was too big because TriCor left me feeling tired.  She agreed that I could half the pill and take labs in a month.  So, TriCor I would say is doing me good and will continue to take till the doctor says I don't have to take it anymore."


"After a few days of taking this medication, I was awoken in the middle of night with the the warm red rash on my abdomen which was also extremely itchy.  After 3 consecutive nights of the same reaction, I discontinued the medicine and called my doctor. He changed my prescription to another cholesterol medicine."


"I use the generic halobetasol along with Dovenex. It works great on the elbows and knees.  Sometimes on the hands.  Rarely on the feet.  I do agree that when you use the HP, it does work rather quickly."


"I'm a 40 year old black female. I'm 5'6" and was 315lbs. I started moving more and eating less and got down to about 265lbs but I got stuck there. My doctor prescribed contrave for me about a year ago and today I weigh 223lbs. I wasn't able to increase the dosage as quickly as instucted but I eventually got up to 2 pills twice a day. I'm still taking it and the weight is still coming off. I've had no major side effects but I did experience nausea during the first couple of months. As long as it continues to work for me, I'll continue to take it. The price is a bit high but totally worth it. My doctor was able to take me completely off of one of the 2 diabetes meds I was taking. Contrave definitely isn't for everyone but I'd recommend it."


"I was inpatient in the hospital for a 5 day migraine. I was given Reglan and benadryl thru IV several times over a 4 day hospital stay and it helped the migraines in mins. I want you to understand how miserable I was. I had to have the curtains always drawn, couldn't watch TV or listen to music, and the room always felt like it was spinning. l noticed that when they administer the benadryl, it burns when given thru IV. I had competent nurses who administered it slowly to prevent intense burning. I also noticed after both were administered, I felt like I needed to move around, so my fingers and legs twitched a little, but not too much. It helped more than anything, and I'm really happy it was there as an option."


"It has improved my sex life and also eliminated UTI. I use once or twice a week.  I also use vaseline daily after each shower."


"I used it in Bali and it took care of the diarrhea immediately.  Highly recommended."


"Relief without the overwhelming fatigue and nausea some medicines give me. Loved it! Consider it part of my miracle."


"This medicine obliterated my social anxiety,anxiety ,fear,phobia,paranoia,panic,worrying and racing thoughts! I can actually function again thanks to a little green pill. I feel like superman now! I'm no longer chained downed by my own mind! I've been battling through it for years and now it's finally gone! I can be outgoing again! I feel calm now."


"First time using valtrex(generic) after mixed results with every single treatment out there.  First sign was a very small red bump at 9pm, missed the tingle stage.  Took 2 1g tablets and started using ice to not let it grow.  Fell asleep around 11pm and applied some tea tree oil.  Woke up to almost nothing.  Small red mark that was not raised or tender.  Unnoticeable. Forgotten by next day.  Worth every penny"


"I was insomniac for many months due to anxiety.  Within a week or two of commencing a 10 mg dose 1x per day I was sleeping through. The only side effect has been flatulence. Cheap drug for me, but I live in Australia where many drugs are subsidised under our universal health coverage."


"Cleared spots on legs, back, and foot by 90 percent in 6 days. No other medication has worked, no side effects. Tube size was 50G, and I used 95 percent in 6 days, Doctor stated I was using too much, and reduced amount available to me until office visit in 45 days. Extremely satisfied ."


"I had the Implanon inserted in December of 2008. It was great and worked just like the Depo I was on for about 9 years before. After about 16 months, I started getting my periods again. It started out being monthly. Then the started to get closer and closer together. Now I never know when I may start. It is usually about 2 weeks apart. I can't plan to do anything and I am now worried about my up coming vacation. I plan to call the doctor this week and see how quickly I can get it removed. I get migraines with my periods. It's one thing to get a migraine once a month but now it's like every other week. This makes work difficult. I am also very moody."


"I'm going on 3 months with Kyleena.  I'm 32 with 2 kids. Insertion was a very short-lived pinching pain. But I took ibuprofen beforehand. So far I've experienced pretty consistent spotting (can't wait to not HAVE to wear a panty liner everyday)  minor back breakouts, 5 lb weight gain, and it seems that this past month I've had 2 periods- each lasting 6 days (2 days longer than usual). I get infrequent split second sharp uterine pains that come out of no where. Overall, I can't say that it has been horrible. I do think that the hormones have helped me get out of my pregnancy fog and has helped control my emotions. So that's awesome! I will give it a solid 6 months before I can make my final conclusion about Kyleena, but so far so good!"


"I am a 49 year old white male that was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis just after my 47th birthday. It took 7 years of various tests before I was finally diagnosed. Mestinon side effects for me was hot flashes, diarrhea so bad that I often wondered which was worse; MG Symptoms or the Mesinon Side Effects. I did however tolerate it and learn to adjust dosage so I could go hiking."


"Is the best muscle relaxer I've used so far, I have fibromyalgia and I take it with Vicodin and get enough relief to get by...I still have to have steroid injections and go to a Chiropractor and have trigger point injections.  Fibromyalgia drugs don't work at all for me which is a bummer!"


"I took one Sumatriptan tablet when the migraine aura began. I found that it upset my stomach and wasn't as effective for headache pain as Excedrin Migraine."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"So far the taste is ok. Drank it warm. Not bad, a little salty. Took the whole bottle to finally be able to go. Now just wait and see and start next bottle at 6 pm."


"I hate the Liletta. First I was not informed by my doctor all the possible side affects and second if I was I would never had this thing in. I had it put in May 2016. I have not yet stopped bleeding. Heavy with clots and can be extreme sometimes. I went to the doctor because I was very concerned that is when they informed me that the bleeding could last a year. This IUD is causing more issues than positives. I went out last week. I changed my pad right before leaving the house and not an hour later I was rushing to find a place to get new clothes and more pads. It only lasted  30 minutes and I went through 4 heavy duty night pads. I now want this thing out and planing on making that appointment tomorrow."


"I just want to review this birth control because I know people are more likely to hop on the interweb to write negative reviews rather than positive ones. I had the Mirena for almost five years and all the sudden CRAZY ACNE started. I wanted a BC pill to help with it, and I was given Lutera.
PROS: After the first few weeks, I didn't break out nearly as bad as I was before taking it. Regulated period after the second month. My boobs! They're bigger!
CONS: Acne was worse the first couple of weeks. First period was gross. Brown, and it came before the off week.
Give it a chance, I'm on my tenth week. You need to give it a few months before deciding you hate it!! It takes a while to regulate everything."


"I had asthma as a kid. I recently got bronchitis and my asthma returned. This inhaler should be recalled. It does not work. It is dangerous. I just found my girlfriends pro air hfa inhaler and it worked perfectly. I have been suffocating for 3 days on this horrible dangerous poorly designed product."


"I have been using Generic Viagra for more than 2 years,  Viagra is the only medicine I have taken long time. it has really been a help for me.

"


"As someone that HATES crowds & dealing with people in general, Zoloft seems to be helping. I have also tried Lexapro, which caused horrible weight gain & total numbness when it came to feelings. Zoloft has been doing the opposite...my appetite is pretty much non-existent. So far, I wouldn't say I'm having any major side effects & im overall happy with everything."


"MDD for over 25 years and little to no positive response to 15 or so SSRIs and SNRIs aside from a slight improvement with Escitalopram which gave me utterly vile nightmares and sexual issues so it had to go.

Started on 5mg first month, 10mg second month and been on 20mg for the last 3 weeks. Genuine improvement in mood over the last 6 weeks or so without feeling cloudy or out of it. Zero adverse sexual side effects. Slight stomach problems this past week but it may be unrelated as also on diclofenac for a herniated disc so it may be that. Time will tell.

For someone who has been largely considered treatment resistant, this drug has been in a different league for me and with the fewest side effects of anything taken to date."


"I'm 18 years old and I've had horrible red inflamed acne since I was 14. My derm has put me on every topical cream he could think of and I was on Minocycline for six months I believe and at first my skin was the worst its ever been but then it was flawless due to the pill and my birth control. I stopped taking minocycline because my acne cleared up. I just recently started breaking out again so he put me on solodyn and its only been a week and my acne is worse than it ever was before taking oral prescriptions and even worse than my skin at its worst while on minocycline. I'm hoping that it'll have the same effect and clear my skin completely but right now its hopeless."


"My rheumatologist feels that this medication allows me to sleep without extreme night time pain. If I do not get sleep, I am unable to function during the day. This medicine allows me to sleep without pain causing tears every time I turn over. Sorry, I have had none of the side affects except for the ability to sleep for 8 hours---the reason I agreed to take this medication. Quality of life trumps pain and the chance that I will have any of these side effects. "


"As somebody with high anxiety I can't recommend this medication to anyone with any kind of stress disorder. I have only been on this pill for about 3 months, so when I was constantly sick I thought it was my body adjusting to the hormones. However, I recently figured out that my nausea is due to high anxiety, which has been made VERY intense by this medication. I feel anxious until point of vomiting. My breasts grew which wasn't an issue for me but I didn't gain any other weight. My periods are much shorter and lighter but my cramps are just as bad as always. My appetite has decreased and although I feel hungry the second I eat I start to feel sick again. The drug did its job, but I am so uncomfortable I am considering switching pills."


"I just got Skyla yesterday, and I took 800 mg Motrin before and after. The insertion was the most painful experience I've ever experienced. (But keep in mind I'm 16 and have had no kids lol, also it is different for everyone I guess) after I got it inserted which only took about 3-5 minutes I had the worst cramps ever, my knees and my back also started hurting. I cried because the cramps were so painful. But today (which is the day after) I'm not feeling any cramps or hurting any where. I don't even feel it now."


"Got my kyleena on July 20 (4 days ago). Doc gave me misoprostol to insert the night before insertion and I took 800mg of ibuprofen an hour before. Insertion was mostly just uncomfortable, one bad cramp when she inserted the IUD 3 or 4/10 on the pain scale but only lasted for about 5 seconds. Went back to work right after, and had since cramping the rest of the day and took some more ibuprofen before bed. I spotted for a day or two but I was on my period when it was inserted, so if anything it seems to have stopped my period. Had sex yesterday, 3 days post-insertion and was totally normal. Partner said he could feel the string a few times at some angles. So far so good!"


"Did not find this drug beneficial for me.  May have helped with some depression symptoms, but overall, I don't feel that it is doing anything positive for me at this point.
Have been on it for almost 5 months.  Find I am careless, impulsive, lazy, lethargic, etc. "


"My daughter is just started this medicine. She is taken guanfacine as well. Her stomach hurt she she was on but medicine seems to work her asperger. She is happy.  We are given another try to this med with half dose to eliminate her stomach pain. Everything is better than weight gain asperger meds."


"Works good, but the bug has to bite you in order for it to be effective. Administered by body weight formula. Saturation to full strength within 4 hours after ingestion. Remains at full strength for appx. 18 hours. Dissipation afterwards  at appx. 2.5mg per day. Estimated half life is 12 days per dose. All conditions depend on body weight. Kills bugs wherever they feed, including those in the skin, which may cause ulcers from the decomposing dead parasite. Effectiveness on pre-existing eggs is questionable. Work closely with a doctor on the dosage and saturation levels or overlap doses. Keep records on reactions/results."


"Very good medication I took and in 3 days my mood improved also I found my self being more social , joking around alot more but it also made me very hyper in extremely talkative now im on the road to recovery"


"I received kenalog/lidocaine injections in my c spine (neck) three months on (once a month shot) and six months off. I noticed immediately my hair grew!! I went from this fragile hair to a freakin awesome thick head of hair what seemed to be overnight! First time in my life!! I was thrilled! Literally seemed over night! I swear by the injections for my spine did it!!"


"My experience of over 40 years of IC (started after a hemeroidectomy). I was on the protocol for Cisapride at the University of Pennsylvania in the 80's. It worked great, they took it off the market. However, 3 daily was recommended, I had to take 10 daily. Been on Zornorm, Amitizia Reglan (horrible), then, Linzess 290 & 145, it was the answer to prayer. However, I would take it and then suddenly it would stop working, I knew there had to be a reasonable answer. However, I would switch then to the samples my Dr gave me, and, the Linzess would work again. Finally, in front of the Pharmacist, I took the seal of both bottles of Linzess and there was barely a dusting of powder inside of them. The capsules were nearly empty, they were replaced."


"I had depression and anxiety since 2 years . Tried prozac and from 3rd pill it was terrible ! Severe headache ! Changed to zoloft and started increasing dose gradually from 12.5 till 25 then 50 . Noticed improvement in about 1-2 month . I recommend this drug . Tried to stop it 2 month ago and I relapsed so am taking it now again hoping it could work again .. However my insomnia is killing me !!!!"


"I've been on Lexapro for maybe 1.5 years, and this drug has worked pretty well in reducing my anxiety and depression. I started on 10mg which may have helped a tiny bit, but I still felt awful. A month or two after having my dose increased to 20mg, I started to feel better. Lexapro helped me lift myself out of my ~6 month long period of anxiety and depression, but I wasn't "cured." I still have mental issues which I need to work on.

In terms of side effects, there were almost none. I got headaches right when I started and also after going on 20mg, but they only lasted a few days. I also find my long-term memory is a bit worse, and time seems to fly by faster.

Oh, and it's super cheap if you can get the generic version."


"Terrible packaging and not effective.  Cut my finger...Maybe the company should be investigating the results and packaging if their product before they end up with a class action law suit."


"No side effects,  easy to take, no more symptoms since taking."


"23 years old, petite body size. i've been using the nuva ring for a little over a month now and so far i really like it. prior to using the nuva ring i was taking birth control pills. not having to remember to take a pill everyday is such a relief! the first time i got my period using the nuva ring it normal. slight cramping but nothing out of the ordinary. my boob size has increased probably a half cup so far. the only down side is that my partner can feel the nuva ring when we have intercourse. intercourse can be uncomfortable for him if the ring is in, so we have to take it out. removing and inserting the nuva ring is very simple. i would recommend this birth control."


"I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for about five years. It was fantastic, no problems at all. My insurance switched me to Tri Lo Sprintec and initially I was excited because its fully covered. The first month was fine, and then the breakouts started. They have gradually gotten worse. I gave it six months to see if things would settle down, but they haven't at all. I'm broken out on my chest, back, all up my neck and behind my ears, along my jaw and forehead. I even had a huge zit on my earlobe this week. These are not normal breakouts. I'm so disappointed in this generic and I'm switching."


"It has always worked for me, but it is accompanied by intense cramping. It does not last forever but it is most painful. However, this drug does work and quickly cleared the constipation.

However, next time, I will probably try an osmotic laxative instead."


"Before I was on Prozac,I would just feel sad all the time..I had been feeling like crying alot,and just in this constant depressive state. One day,I went to the doctor's office..I broke down, almost cried and told the doctor what was going on. He was so understanding,and said he was gonna start me on an antidepressant. So after having been on Prozac 20mg going on my 2nd week, I feel so much better. I'm more positive ,I don't get into hardly any depressive modes anymore ,and it feels like I finally have my life back. Plus the doctor added in a daily dose of .05 mg of Ativan to help ease with the panic attacks. I feel so much calmer, happier, and I'm able to function better at work. The combination of Prozac and Ativan works wonders for me:)"


"Hot sweats were the thing most mentioned and most noticeable. My apologies for lack of empathy to all those who I've known going through them.
Muscle mass loss and decreased exercise tolerance.  My total weight lifted in a usual work out fell to about 1/3.
Dry scaling skin and increased dry hair. However, my creeping male pattern baldness was certainly less noticeable.
Testicular size and libido took a hit."


"Took Levaquin since I am allergic to Penicllin.  On day 9 of 10 I starting having soreness in both my achilles heal.  Hope it does not linger."


"Tried a sample from my doctor, ended up wasting 3 of the 4 due to the wife's waffling moods. The last one worked great, rock hard and lasting. Kind of a pricy gamble with the timing and such."


"Caused me to be hungry. Moody and decreased sex drive"


"On Saturday April 18 at 11pm I had sex and the condom broke, and that was the only protection I had. I was not on my fertile days. I was so scared, the next day at 10 am I went to buy the Plan B One-step pill. I was so nervous that it wouldn't work. But finally my period came 5 days after I had it! It works! Girls just keep calm, relax and let it work. Thanks a lot Plan B! You literally saved my life!"


"I had it implanted about 2 weeks ago on the day I should have started my period.  My period did not start instead I had all the PMS symptoms and a little bit of spotting.  However a week after I got it my period came, bleeding, cramps. The worst period I have ever had by far. My periods usually last 3-5 days and I am now on day 8 of heavy bleeding and cramping.  I also feel very emotional and moody.  The site was badly bruised and hurt for 3-4 days when it was put in.  It looks a lot better now.  I am seriously thinking about having it taken out already because I can't handle the bleeding.  What's the point in taking birth control if you can't make use of it because you can't stop bleeding? "


"Had all of the requirements - PD-L1,  90% effaced,  did not have the tumor mutations,  1st line of defense.   Bought in to the "wonder" drug hype and it FAIL MISERABLY.   Cancer metastasized.   Now being treated with chemo and responding but it's too late"


"Improved Benign Prostate Hyperplasia but not dramatically. Side effect no semen when ejaculating."


"I've been on Xarelto 20mg a day for a year now, after I was hospitalized with a clot in my lung that came up from my leg. I've got no side effect at all."


"First time I have seen my cheeks in years!   Prescribed by my regular doctor, and unfortunately not covered by insurance this ran me about $150 for the tube, but if you are like me - I spent many more dollars trying everything else. This is working, so it has been worth every penny!   In 1 week I thought I was imagining things because the doc said to give it several weeks to make a difference.  In 2 weeks, there was no denying a difference.  I am at 3 weeks now, and I can hardly make out where my melasma once was, and had been there for almost 3 years.   This has been a miracle for me, and I hope this review will steer someone to have a similar experience as I have had.   Best of luck to you!"


"I have chronic bronchitis and when I get a cold and let it go too long, the chronic bronchitis shows itself and if I don't recognize the onset soon enough, pneumonia --single or double- is the result.  My doctor prescribed Tussionex five years ago and it has become my "go to" medicine--if used early, it allows me to sleep, cough less throughout the night. While it does not cure the bronchitis, it allows the body to do its work by allowing you to rest without coughing.  I have one bit of advice - do not abuse this medication - regardless of what the prescription says--one teaspoon (2 ML) a day preferably before bedtime is the only way you should take it.  I use it very sparingly because of it's expense and because it always works for me."


"Worst decesion in my life ! Don' t recommend it to anyone !!! I never struggled with depression until now . I got it taken out 3 months ago & I'm still feeling depressed & have horrible headaches & beyond tired . Don't use it just because you don't wanna get pregnant because this is something that will damage you in the long run ."


"I have used Synvisc it for 7 years (getting injections every 6 months) and my doctor said I could be the poster child for the treatment. It held off my knee replacement by at least 5 years. I'd recommend it to anyone"


"EXTREME HEADACHES!!
Lupron - I started the medication 5 days ago and starting on day 3 I began getting really bad headaches and it doesn't seem to ever go away. I cannot take Advil so I'm not sure if that would help. I tried taking a nap but I wake up and it's still there. Never had this problem before so I'm certain it's the Lupron. Other than that I have no other complaints."


"I have been on Contrave for one month and have lost 18 pounds.  I have not had any side effects and I feel great.  I have a lot of energy and my mood is good.  I have been dieting by counting calories with a weight loss app., trying to keep it around 1500 calories a day, but I have not exercised yet.  When I go out to eat, I cut everything in half and take home a doggy bag.  I try to make smart choices--less carbs, but not no carbs.  The drug works by making me not think about food all the time.  I can go without snacking in between meals, and it's helping me stick to just one portion at dinner as opposed to going back for seconds.  I would say this drug is worth a try.  It helps your willpower."


"This medicine was WAY too strong for me.  I'm 5'8" and 135 pounds, but the minimum dose knocked me out the first night I started taking it, I had twitchy, bizarre dreams, woke up the next morning feeling "stoned", had a headache and stomachache, shaky hands and the jitters all day and my pupils were hugely dilated.  This was all just after 1 dose of the timed-release tabs.  Not a good choice for me."


"I recently started taking this birth control and after looking at the reviews I was very skeptical but I sure have learned that every body is different and will have a different acceptance to anything new. I have no complains with this, so far. I wanted to write a review, even though I have not been on it too long as sometimes one gets concerned on how it will make you feel in the beginning. Well, I have not felt mood swings, cramping or overly emotional at all. I have also not experienced any weight gain so far. I started taking this on the first day of my menstrual cycle to increase its effectiveness."


"This is a life changing amazing medication. I found that it works best for me if I do not eat past 6pm and then take the pill before bed around 9 or 10 pm. Then I go to the bathroom in the morning 2-3 times before work and I have never felt better. I have to much energy now and a flatter not bloated painful stomach!! I know it does not work for everyone but it worked for me and if you have issued you should try this for sure. I had to play with the time I took it for awhile but now that I have it dialed in I hope I never have to live without it!!"


"I am bipolar I and went on topomax as an alternative to the awful weight gaining meds I have been subjected to in past. My anxiety went through the roof! I was crying constantly, my heart was pounding and I became fearful to leave the house. I love the 10 pd weight loss but not worth the anxiety and hair loss...sad I wanted it to work"


"I was just prescribed Dulera today and noticed that my lungs felt slightly better immediately however it has been only 2 hours since I used the inhaler and my hands are shaking like I have low blood sugar. "


"Worked great for my upper respiratory infection.  My doctor gave me a prescription of Zofran and I took that first and waited about ten minutes before taking the antibiotic.  It solved the nausea/vomiting side effect."


"I've been actively seeking a remedy for my 'weirdness' for 40 years. I've tried counselling, antidepressants, and bipolar meds. While all of these have helped, none of them could do what I really needed for them to do to reach my ultimate goal; To fit in with society. I went to a shrink for GAD, and was prescribed Saphris. The effects were virtually immediate. The list of improvements in my life is 26 items and counting.
     The drug is over $200/month in the states WITH good insurance. I found online pharmacies in Canada that sell it for $90 for a 3-month supply. It is shipped from India, which scares lots of folks because of their legendary lack of gov't regulations. I'm not made of money, so, to me, the risk is worth it!"


"I can't live without Orudis 200mg once daily.  Within 1 hour starts working and stops inflammation.

I have been on it around 25 years and no serious side effects  !

Had an asthma attack when they gave me the generic oruvail as generics only have half the main ingredient and some awful fillers. Available on our pbs in Australia"


"I used this drug for the sole purpose to control my moderate acne.

Side effects: Noticeably more emotional for the first few weeks.

After usage of 1 year: My acne has decreased dramatically, but I'm not quite sure if it's because I stopped stressing about my acne, or because I changed my hair products, or because of this drug by itself. My skin started getting clearer around 7 months in to taking this medication. Like I said, I don't know if it was because of this, but I don't want to stop taking it because I'm scared my acne will return back to the way it was. It seems that the longer I've taken it, the clearer my skin has become. :)"


"I got this put in yesterday. The insertion wasn't anything terrible. I would rate it a 7.5/10. Nothing you can't handle if you've had bad cramps before. Immediately after the doc took out the tools the cramping disappeared. About 3 hours later the cramps came back, at like a 5/10 pain level. Still nothing too bad. I took some ibuprofen and went to bed and woke up today with no pain. However every once in a while the pain comes back for a couple of minutes. I had some very light bleeding immediately after insertion that lasted for a day about. Now there is little to no spotting and almost no pain.
I felt down there and it just feels a little different but i believe that it is some swelling because of the insertion process."


"It works great for anxiety.  The 2 major downfalls I've noticed, is 1) I built up a tolerance FAST, so I need a stronger dosage quite often, and 2) it sometimes takes up to 2 hrs to kick in!  but its a good pill I can take to get me through stressful classes. "


"I have had fibro, Depression, anxiety, chronic horrible pain. Cymbalta does nothing at all. I don't even know why I take it. If you stop it's worse than stopping anything else I have ever tried to except maybe Xanax. I am so happy for all you that it works for. Life is depressing and miserable. Pain meds were the only thing that has helped for pain but I have been on them so long I want to try something else. So sick of people who think pain meds cause the problem. Of course I am on a higher dose than someone who just started. It's been ten years. I wish cymbalta helped as much as you guys."


"My dermatologist prescribed 100 mg minocycline, twice a day. Once I started taking the pills, I got really dizzy during the day. So I decided just to take one pill at night before I go to bed instead of 2 a day. My skinn has cleared up a lot and it has only been 6 days. Either take this pill one hour before eating or 2 hours after eating or you will feel sick. Plus drink a lot of water."


"I needed a full 10 week regimen because the staph infection had been "cooking" for over 4 1/2 years in my prosthetic knee joint.  Other antibiotics by mouth wouldn't work, so the original joint was removed, and replaced with an antibiotic spacer.  After 9 weeks, my Infectious disease specialist said my test was absolutely normal for the previous 2 weeks. In 2 weeks,  I'll see the orthopedic surgeon, hopefully getting a date to remove the spacer in favor of a proper prosthetic joint.

I had no noticeable side effects.  Previously, at a convalescent facility, using a different antibiotic, I experienced a lower pulse, extremely low blood pressure, very high ProTime, and total loss of appetite."


"I can't tell how much Gabapentin is helping because I am either having severe leg cramps, nausea, dizzy or sleeping. I would rather be on pain pills instead of this stuff."


"This medicine is very effective for short-term use.  My experience is mostly good however, I do find that it does not work well when I have eaten recently.  You must take it on an empty stomach, I believe the Drug Facts say 1 hour without food before taking it.  When you take it with food, it sometimes does not absorb or takes longer to absorb.  Also, tolerance for me with this medicine goes up quickly so I try to only take it a couple of times a week.  I have not experienced any addiction symptoms by doing this.

Side Note:  A lot of people who take it and report driving significant memory lapses are NOT TAKING IT AS DIRECTED.  You only take ONE (1) before bedtime and then you GO TO BED.  DON'T take it and go grocery shopping!"


"I love how easy the patch is, well at least how easy it seems, patch didn't stick to my skin, kept lifting up, wore it less then 24hrs before it started lifting. Made my skin rash out completely bad. Not for me, even though the application seemed so easy."


"I've been on phentermine for 17 days now and I started at 181 lbs. I weighed in a 168lbs this morning. I'm still hungry while taking it, but I don't eat huge plate fulls like I used too. Sometimes I eat very little, like 5 bites of food all day.  I do not have increased energy, actually I was quite tired the first week. The second Week, insomnia. I actually stayed awake for over 24 hours one day last week. I'm 29 and haven't done that since I was a teen. No headaches or nausea. EXTREME dry mouth and diarrhea every other day, also whenever I stand up I have to do it slowly, I get dizzy every time and almost fall over. I work out 3 times a week to kickboxing but that's about it, besides chasing my kids around."


"I used Yaz for years with no problems but Gianvi made me moody, depressed, and seriously suicidal. Once I made the connection that my depression and suicidal thoughts were from the pill, I stopped immediately. Sure enough, two days later, I felt cheerful and fine. I also noticed this pill gave me zero sex drive--so maybe it is really effective birth control."


"I could not walk or move until I took the first prednisone.  In 7 hours I felt fine.  Now that I am on a low dosage, I am again in a lot of pain.  So far there is no diagnosis as to what I have."


"Originally I had been prescribed epiduo as well as sulfacleanse to use together, which was fine for about a week or so before my skin became incredibly irritated to the point of painful burning. I stopped using the sulfacleanse and continued with only epiduo. After doing that my experience was amazing - the epiduo did cause my skin to become very dry and sensitive, but that was manageable with a gentle moisturizer. The longer I used it, the less irritated my skin was. I've been on it for about a year now and I am amazed at the condition of my skin. I rarely if ever get pimples and my scars have faded to the point that I have stopped wearing makeup to cover them! I love epiduo and highly recommend it."


"I was at 260 pounds which made me very scared and determined to do something about it.  I started Qsymia on Feb.13 and have only been on the starter dose of 3.75.  I have been using MyfitnessPal and tracking my food intake, trying to eat less carbs/sugars and more proteins and more complex carbs (like vegetables and whole grains).  I went to doctor today, March 18 and lost  9 pounds.  I am super happy.  I have the tingling toes and fingers.  I have the somewhat blurry vision but it's not that bad.  My goal is to get off high blood pressure meds and get to a healty weight.  The doctor upped my prescription to 7.5 and I'm hoping for even better results."


"This is the only medicine that works for my wife.  She has tried all of the other migraine type medicines, and none of them work.  Years ago she started taking Cafergot, then it was taken off the market and she was hardly able to function.  Then after Migergot was available her Doctor prescribed that, and she was like a new person.  When Migergot was not available for a few months in 2012 she was miserable again, so we were most thankful when it once again became available.  She does not have side effects from it, is able to function normally, and goes to the YMCA almost every day and is able to participate in Yoga, Pilates, strength training,  hiking,  biking and traveling  at age 83.   Migergot has been a God Send for her."


"Had acne forever, went through accutane which cleared it up for a good 2 years and the acne came back. Went back to the dermatologist and was prescribed bactrim. It didn't start working till a few weeks in but after that, I started noticing my face getting clearer. Unfortunately, taking bactrim for a long time isn't good for you for a long time so here I am starting back at square one, but it was the best few months I've in a while."


"I am on week 3 now of epiduo and lemme tell you my first two weeks were pretty hard. My skin started peeling very badly after the first couple days and made my self esteem go way down... Now however my skin is used to it and I haven't seen any results YET. I'm holing to see some after week 4 but make sure you stick with it cause I have a feeling it is going to start getting better very soon"


"I started taking 100 mg each night a couple of months ago.

It works beautifully to help me fall asleep - usually in about 15-20 minutes.

Sure, I'm a little groggy when I get up. But a trip to the bathroom, feed the cat and pour myself a cup of coffee, and I'm good as new."


"This product seemed to work for my nasal congestion but it made me EXTREMELY sleepy. I have never experienced drowsiness with Sudafed or its generic. I took one 30mg Nexafed pill at 8 pm and I actually had to take 2.5 hours off of work in the morning because I could not function! I didn't feel myself again until 10 am. I suppose if I took the medication very early in the evening, I might be able to wake up in the morning. But having young children, I must be present for nighttime routines and I can never guarantee that my sleep will not be interrupted. For now, Nexafed simply will not work for me. I will be returning it to the pharmacy and will have to find a new pharmacy to shop from as my mine is currently only carrying this new product."


"I have been experiencing increasing anxiety the more I progress into menopause.  Tried Cymbalta and it made me so drowzy that I was afraid of falling asleep while driving.  Started on Vybrid about 2 months ago and I feel fabulous. My anxiety is totally under control and I have energy to go out and do things. Recently lost 5 pounds because I had the energy to work in the yard.  There has been some diarrhea but it does not bother me as the benefits are such a difference in how I feel."


"I think this pill is amazing. I went on it because I wanted something with lower estrogen that still prevented pregnancy, but less hormones (mood swings, breaking out, nausea) was horrid. I was on Sprintec for 3 years.

With Junel Fe, I have maintained weight and have not seen a significant change in my body physiologically. Not pregnant...

The only "con" is that it's so low estrogen that I have not had a period in about a year....which may seem great, but not really knowing if you ever "skip a period" to indiciate if you're pregnant."


"Pentasa is the only drug I take and it works great! Never have had any side affects.  I was in horrible pain from the cramping until I started taking it over a year ago.  I am very pleased with this medicine."


"Dry, hacking cough! It took about a year for this side effect to develop, and about 6 months to realize it was the Benicar. I should have known, as Lisinopril and Diovan made me cough previously. I had taken Hyzaar for 2 years, but had to switch because of insurance issues. I did not have the coughing with Hyzaar."


"So it came back a LOT since last posting. I have had to figure everything out myself.  It was hormone related big time ! Got on nuvaring birth control for 3 or 4 months recently and have come off the last month. That helped more than anything. Reset your hormone Balance with birth control.  Also BV has a hard time living when you take birth controls."


"I’ve found Buspar to be fairly effective helping control health-related anxiety. Buspar has helped tremendously. Two very important things: First, it took probably two weeks to really kick in. Second, the correct dosage was critical. The doctor initially started me on 15mg per day. While it helped, I was still having days. We bumped it to 20 mg, and it has made a world of difference. We gradually increased the dosage to 30 mg, but my arms began aching with no significant improvement, so we went back to 20 mg. My morning dose still makes me lightheaded for a bit, but I’m better able cope with my anxiety."


"From bad to good.
Wk1, great. Obviously placebo.
Wk2 was a low week. SO tired all day long. I struggled to concentrate. Work performance was affected. I learned that alcohol brings you right down. DON'T DO IT! Some anxiety
Wk3 Another low week. I felt zombified. Tired all day. I could barely stay awake in meetings. I couldn't pay attention for more than a minute. Noticed my hands are shaking. Some anxiety.
Wk4 Better but still tired. Small up but still zombified & shaking hands
Wk5 Less tired but still shaky. Mood is lifting. Strange confidence. Loving it!
Wk6 Confidence & mood grows. Little anxious
Wk7 Definitely better. Small wobble due to alcohol.
Wk8 Feeling great. There is hope!
Avoid too much alcohol & coffee. 2 or 3 per day is ok."


"I Just started this bc last week tues and I'm already feeling nauseous every so often. One day I wake up fine the next I feel real sick it has also cause me to have a loss of appetite i've vomited twice because of this is anybody else experiencing this problem?"


"I was switched from Loestrin 24 to this since it was discontinued and at first I was super nervous because it was chewable, but I liked Loestrin so I went with it. The first month was okay, and it was exactly like Loestrin 24 with nothing different. The second month I was told by my doctor that I can skip the placebo pills to not have my period and I did just that. The first week after doing so was great but then I started to spot. I knew it would happen but it's been going on consecutively for three weeks and it's into the next pack now. It's also caused mood swings, headaches (and I never get those), vision blurriness here and there, cramps, bloating, gassy, all the upsetting side effects. Overall, not good and I may switch to another bc"


"I am finishing my third pack of Sronyx and I love it. I didn't really have any problems adjusting. The first month I did experience breast pain, one week of irritability and just a couple days of spotting. I had a couple of zits pop up around my period when I was off of the active pills. By the end of the second month my skin is fine! I can honestly say this is a really good starter birth control pill. The low dose of hormones makes the transition very easy. My advice, of course you will most likely experience some sort of side effect because of the hormones. Don't let the fear of a couple of zits or a few hormonal days keep you from trying it. It's worth it."


"I have been on Phentermine since 4/8/08 and have lost 47 lbs.  It is really is a miracle drug.  The energy it gives has changed my life- I am a new person.  The appetite suppressent is amazing- I changed my eating habits and the food I eat.  I started at 247 lbs and am now 200 lbs- the lowest in the past 5 years.  I can't say enough about this drug."


"Unfortunately I am a large breasted woman, breast fed three sons so its no wonder under my breasts became sensitive when I reached my 40s. My primary doctor gave me creams and eventually steroid cream, which also thinned my skin as well (I see others had the same issue) dermatologist gave me Zeasorb powder which strangely enough is sold for athletes foot and then the Elides cream which was 30 bucks for a small tube! However after using it for a week rash is completely gone for the first time in over three years. Next time Ill go right to the dermatologist for skin issues. I had no side effects."


"Have been taking Pradaxa 150 twice a day since Sept 2011. Initially had extreme acid reflux and heartburn.  Tried Nexium, Zantac, Tums, GasX.  What has worked best for me is to NEVER take it on an empty stomach. In the evening I eat a small carton of some kind of yogurt before taking my evening dose. Since beginning this regimen I rarely have to take an antacid of any kind."


"I had my Implanon inserted almost 5 months ago, in May 2009.
The pros that I personally experienced with this method of Birth contro are as follows:
-No periods. Very minimal spotting.
-No pregnancy.
-No real serious weight gain. Maybe 5 lbs over the 5 month period.
While these pros are all really nice things, I found the cons I experienced outweighed the pros.
The cons I experienced are as follows:
-Terrible breakouts. I've had very good skin my entire life, up until I had this inserted.
-Ridiculous mood swings and just outrageous emotional-ness. I have no past history of mental illness whatsoever, and since having the Implanon inserted, my mood swings have been insane, and I've experienced unexplainable bouts of depression."


"I started taking Lyrica about 5 months ago. It has worked great for relieving my pain from fibro, however I have experienced bladder retention at times and since I also suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD, over the last couple months, I have been having really scary thoughts of suicide. (I would never, ever do that. I know myself well enough to know that I would never do anything. I lost my husband that way.) I feel like it has increased my symptoms of depression and PTSD. I stopped taking it 2 days ago and while I am in a lot of pain, it's better than the side effects of this medicine. I'm going to my Dr in a couple days and I'm going to talk to her about another option."


"I was prescribed this twice a day for 7 days. I'm halfway through and I recently developed severe headaches, decreased appreciate, decreased urination, and shortness of breath. No diahrrea yet, but I did feel nauseous this morning. I hope not to get diahrrea because I'm trying to heal an anal fissure. I tested negative for some common STDs so I don't know what I have but my groin lymph nodes still seem to be swollen. :/"


"It does not work for treating recurrent yeast infections and there is burning and itching after insertion. If you do not get them often it is okay."


"My husband swears you will poop a paper clip from when you were 3 years old. He wouldn't be surprised if after this miracle drug, you happened to also see a lego in there. You won't be disappointed.It really works"


"Xanax is a miracle for me. I can't live without it. It is not addicting. I never experienced withdrawl symptoms either. I am usually tense, high strung and anxious. Xanax makes me happy, easy going, talkative, calm. It helps me sleep, I can't sleep without it. I take zoloft and seroquel but without xanax nothing seems to work or help me. I love xanax and I take it daily or else I really just can't get through the day. I have anger and a short fuse and bad temper and xanax calms my storms. Xanax is the only thing that works for me and makes me sane and able to face life head on."


"been taking this for back pain, so far has worked the best out of vicodin, lortabs, and low mg percocets"


"I  switched  from  Victoza to  Trulicity  because  of  nausea. But, when  I  stopped  the  victoza, I  realized  that  nausea  was  the  least  of  my  side  effects. I  had  been  having  pain  in  my  hands  and  wrists  so  bad  that  I  was  sent  for  testing  to  see if I  had  carpal  tunnel  or  neuropathy. My  hands  stayed  so  cold  that  I  was  wearing  compression  gloves  all  day  at  work. When  I  stopped  the  victoza, the  pain  stopped  completely .  Now  I  am  on  Trulicity  and  am  having  horrible  muscle  pain  in  my  shoulder, arm  and  down  to  my  left  hand .  I  have  spent  a  fortune  on  chiropractic  care  and  massage  therapy. I  am  at  a  loss  on  what  to  do ."


"LADIES, PLEASE DO NOT USE this treatment! Looking through the reviews, some women have found this medication effective, but the number who've taken the trouble to write how horrific their experience has been must surely set some red flags waving! I live in the UK and ordered this medication from the U.S. (It's unavailable over the counter here - I wonder why!!) I'd heard about it so thought I'd give it a try as I'd started my 4th Y.I. this year. I wondered if I might have become resistant to my usual single fluconazole tablet and/or Canesten cream. The burning was indescribable, the itching intense. Pure hell. NEVER AGAIN. I'd rather pull out my toe nails & teeth without anaesthesia than suffer this again. Took 2 out of 7 days, and no more!"


"I was initially prescribed Enbrel but my insurance company denied it.  They did, however, approve Humira.  I wasn't sure what to expect with having never used a biologic but all I can say is wow!   After 25yrs of scalp coverage, nail pitting/damage and typical skin plaques, I am absolutely thrilled with this drug.  After 3 weeks, I am 95% clearer than I was beforehand and my joints feel 15yrs younger.  Side effects?  I've had exactly zero except for the cathartic release of happiness with the feeling of happiness that I'm almost 100% normal.  Thank you abbvie!!!!!!!!!"


"Started to take Darvon after 642 were no longer available.  They were as good as the 642's if not better. I live in Canada though and they are very hard to get. I've lived with chronic nerve pain since 1986 and Darvon helps me keep my job.  "


"Please, if you`re going to try and treat a cold then go the natural route ! I learned the hard way. I`ve been sick with sore throat and nasal congestion since Tuesday-Wednesday and finally I asked my mom to go out and get medicine. My Mom went out and brought me Children`s Mucinex and after taking 2 doses [I`m 18 years old and 2 doses of the children's medicine is equivalent to the original] I lost all senses of smell and it wasn't worth it at all. I regret taking Mucinex and I googled this symptom and the people who has had this problem still has yet to gain there sense of smell back. I'm so afraid. On top of that I feel no real relief, just more pressure on my breathing."


"Best experience .. I had horrible itching and burning .. Once I used the first dose and the anti itching cream I started feeling relieve within 15 mins ... Today is my second day and it's as if it's gone! Definitely will buy this product again"


"To answer Whynotme's question and anyone else who is questioning Suboxone in your first few days of taking it... we are all different and our bodies react differently to certain things and at different times. So if you just started taking Suboxone and aren't feeling 100%, no worries, you soon will. The first few days for me were rough. First, I was violently vomiting because of the strength (I was addicted to 10mg Vicodins, about 3-5 per day for well over 5 yrs). So Suboxone was kinda strong for me. Second, I didn't feel fantastic right away but very soon after, I felt better than that. I got my life back, finishing up 2 yr degree, and feel great! Do it and get your life back!"


"I have had migraines since I was 6 years old, they are very strong in my family. I have been using the Imitrex injections since I was 17, I am now 25. I am always amazed at how well the Imitrex works, because I get migraines so often I usually wait until my migraine is pretty bad before taking an injection (You are supposed to take it at the first sign of a migraine but if I did that I would take an injection almost daily). I take the injection, lie down for 30-60 minuted and the migraine is totally gone! Seriously. The only side effects I have are a tingly/tight feeling that lasts 2-3 minutes, and as of the last 3 years a red itchy injection site reaction, that resolves in 2 hours or less."


"I will never take this medicine again. I was given some 15 mg samples to try. Was on Lunesta, but it wasn't working. Belsomra did indeed help me sleep, but the am grogginess was terrible. I slept at least 8 hours the night before, but couldn't concentrate. I was in a fog all day. I fell asleep at the wheel twice and ran right through a red light at a busy intersection. It took all day for this medicine to wear off. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone."


"I started Sanctura 4 months ago, I have had urgency and incontinence for many years, and have just lived with it.  I have tried all of the other medications to no avail, one or 2 days benefit only. I complained, with much embarrassment to my Urologist he gave me samples of Sanctura. I will tell you I have been accident free for 4 months, the second day I took the medicine I saw a drastic difference, I wasn't running to the bathroom every 15 minutes. Wonderful medicine. No side effects."


"First off, this tablet makes me feel SO nauseous, however, I've had trouble hearing anything recently and it has picked up since I was prescribed this drug. Though it always leaves an awful, hard to describe metallic tangy taste on the sides of my tongue, it is SO disgusting!  I went through a whole packet of mints in 1 hour trying to get rid of it. I always feel sick taking this but it works. Embarrasing to say, I have to poop twice a day now, but they're always small bits! It's uncomfortable, but it gets the job done."


"This medicine worked extremely well to treat my anxiety disorder. It did not take long for the medicine to help me control the problems I was experiencing. I used 20mgs for about 4 and half years. The only thing that prevents this treatment from receiving a higher score are the side effects and withdrawal symptoms. The side effects I experienced were a definite decrease in sexual desire and a weight gain in my mid section. Personally I don't feel that any drug treatment is a permanent option, so when I decided to wean off of the drug I figured it would not have that great of an effect on me. Yet the withdrawal symptoms that I am currently experiencing are quite terrible. I am sure they will go away with time, but I could definitely do without."


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


"I have been on Sprintec for about 2 weeks and every time I take it I get bad headaches and my breasts have been so tender. That only happens when it's that time of the month."


"A severe joint/muscle pain was completely cleared after the first injection. No further joint inflammation occurred; the affected joints remained as deformed as they were but without any pain. A widespread scalp psoriasis was cleared during the first two months. Subsequent occurrences of psoriasis were very mild and short."


"A must for anyone with panic attacks.  Works fast, gives you your life back."


"It works , took it with 52 hours left. My period was due 3 days before hand. (It was my boyfriend  birthday weekend. We both admit to never spend  4 days drinking like there no tomorrow again lol)

It made my period 2 days late but It ran it course. Heavier than usually and I felt shitty for a few days but a really great reminder of don't be stupid. My period is off and that was three weeks ago. So it works. The side effects weren't too bad and totally worth it vs being knocked up before we are ready.

Again this will be my first and our last time having unprotected sex. We been together for three years and we are not ready for a baby of any sort. But I would take again if had too,"


"So I have a pretty good dependency for pain killers, oxycodone 15mg to be exact. I was snorting about 120 to 210 mg's a day it varied from day to day. I have a buddy that had some subutex. I bought 8, 8mg pills from him and I've been slicing it in quarters and it has killed all withdrawal symptoms. I am using the subutex to come off of taking opiates since 2013. I haven't had any oxy in 4 days I think and have 4 subs left. I hope this works because I am sick of being a slave to oxy."


"I was on this birth control for 8 months and it wasn't until now that I realized my emotions were gone. I'd either feel extreme anger or extreme apathy and nothingness. It made my cramps worse, I constantly got spotting days before my scheduled period. Do not take this."


"I recently started using Acanya and so far I am very pleased. My skin is almost completely cleared up after only 4 DAYS! It does itch a LITTLE when you first apply it, but as soon as it dries and soaks into the skin, it's fine. I recommend trying this product."


"Success - Promised myself that I would come back & write a review of my experience so here we go. First time having sex and it was the day after my period ended & didn't use a condom so I took plan B about 12 hours later. I've always had a super irregular period so for the next almost 2 months (yes,2) I had anxiety every hour of the day about being pregnant. I would wake up feeling nauseous, Have back pain, heartburn, and always felt bloated. Personally I think that I was making myself feel that way bc I had so much anxiety. Anyways, PLAN B DOES WORK. I'm sitting heer right now chillin on my period and super happy about it. Like you, I read this website and many others over and over trying to calm myself down. But you will be fine!!!!"


"I have been on Sutent for three years and my renal tumor has been reduced by half and the metastasis almost eliminated. Side effects are not as bad as when I first started on the drug."


"I find Norflex to be an amazing treatment for neck muscle spasms. I lead a pretty stressful life and every now (once every 3 months or so) and then suffer from muscle spasms in my neck and upper shoulder areas. This can be extremely painful. Sometimes by just taking 2 tables before I go to bed, will cure the problem. I have never needed to take more than 3 doses to relieve the spasm. There have been occasions that I did not have any Norflex and it will take quite a few days for the spasm to pass, even with regular massaging."

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


"28 year old who suffers from generalised anxiety (which can turn into panic disorder when I'm peak anxiety) and premenstrual dysphoria.

St John's Wort is amazing. I'm still 'myself' and never had any of the awful onset symptoms of Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro et al. All the symptoms of prescribed SSRIs turned me off them immediately.

St John's Wort turns my anxiety and the "you can't do this/aren't enough/are screwing life up" internal voice track down to about a 2 or 3, when it's usually between a 7 on an average day.

Life is still tough and I still have a neurotic personality, but 4 weeks into taking this and I'm enjoying life again and want to make positive plans for the future :). Definitely take it but it will take some time to kick in!"


"I had gone to my obgyn for my 6 week postpartum check up. She discussed the different options for birth control. Since I am Breast feeding, I wanted to make sure I chose an estrogen free method. So the depo shot would do I thought since it's good for 3 months. After the first 3 weeks of being on the shot. I started spotting for 2 weeks and then the bleeding got heavier and heavier. I also felt like I was getting weaker and feeling more tired than ever. I would not recommend the depo shot and I'm going to just take the pill next time around."


"I've been taking this medication for a long time. 10 yrs..!! I wasn't warned about the memory problems,   or any way of becoming addicted. I can happily say, it has helped me, I even went into agoraphobia stage. Also, from my own personal experience. Be very careful in taking this medication. I actually saw, for myself, how bad the memory problems can be. When I experienced that. I went to my Dr an said, I wanted ween myself off, but slowly, not stupid either. I've have been addicted to this medication, but u have to realize, our brain, our mind, is powerful than we give it credit for.  I was using 0.5mg 6-8 times a day. I'm now, down to 3 & a half times per day, I'm getting better again"


"I have had this condition for 3.5 years now and no diagnosis as why it's happening. Epidurals, narcotics, Tramadol, Lyrica don't seem to work for the "painful tingles". Gabapentin helps with that, but my pain is still acute. The numbness over my right rib cage is nearly unbearable. 12 doctors want to ease the pain, but no one wants to find out WHY! Plus, they are not very good at easing the pain. Now they want to put a neural stimulator in me and if it's anything like a TENS machine, all it will do is irritate me. I will not go off the Gabapentin until my diagnosis. The side effect of not being able to remember words really bothers me."


"I had  Chemo induced itching/inflamation .I struggled with the side effects of perjeta (pertuzumab) to the point were I was considering stopping treatment.   My arms were completely scabbed from scratching in my sleep and I was not finding relief from other options.  Within a week of using fluocinonide, the constant itching stopped and within three months all my scabs were healing. I still have scars, but the constant itching is gone."


"It didn't help at all with the panic attacks and actually made my anxiety worse. The first few weeks it would just put me to sleep. After four weeks I became very depressed and had suicidal thoughts constantly throughout the day. It gave me horrible headaches, it made me really dizzy all the time and I felt lightheaded and nauseous often. After four weeks I could not sleep at all and my anxiety increased along with the panic attacks. I don't recommend this medicine for anyone who has suffered PTSD or who has had high anxiety levels for a long time. It just makes things worse. After five weeks I stopped taking this medication I could no longer handle the side effects."


"Ceftin has been more effective for me than penicillin, when it comes to infections. I have a very sensitive stomach and unlike most antibiotics Ceftin, does not cause me gastrointestinal upset. Be sure to take a probiotic in between doses of your antibiotic."


"I got the Mirena after I had my second ( and last) child.  I'd had problems with the pill, like blood clots.  I had the insertion in 10-14-2007. It was a bit painful, but not unbearable.  My period became lighter and non existent.  So when the 5 years was up, I got another one.  Same thing except for the bleeding, I now get a lot of the other symptoms.  I am now 44 and if I still need one in 2017, I will get a new one."


"I'm 27 years old and been a cold sore sufferer ever since I can remember. I've Tried everything under the sun to keep my outbreaks under control but nothing seemed to work. I went to my dermatologist and he prescribed this medicine. I usually get about 4 cold sores a year and since I have been prescribed this medicine I literally have not had one! I take 2 pills when I feel it coming on and it stops it dead in its tracks. This medication is a miracle to me, as we all know how embarrassing having a cold sore is. It has saved me from many Friday nights spent in bed hiding my face while all my friends are out and having fun. 10 out of 10!"


"I have taken this medicine and so far nothing still coughing my head off I have coughed to so much my chest hurts and I've been vomiting and even after I took it still coughing my head off"


"I began .06 dose on November 9th at 8:45 pm. So far so good, as I do not have any side effects that were reported by others. Saxenda has definitely suppressed my appetite. I have to make myself eat. I eat small and often. I’m so excited about this journey. I am 5’8 and weighed in at 244 lbs. I will keep posted my progress. Good luck to everyone!"


"I'm pretty frustrated that they didn't have Xyrem for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome because it is such a huge help for it. Like many I have fibromyalgia and CFS (like a world renowned doc I have seen he believes that it is the same condition). I would just like to say that for 10-11 hours each day I now shower, get ready, take my son to school, take my son to his practices, go to his games, go on vacations, go places, do laundry, iron, wash the dishes, make lunches, take care of the dog, etc. Before Xyrem all I could do was lay and feel horrible. I take it's different than most because this is how it works for me. I have to wait at least 3 hours (due to digestion) after eating a meal before taking it. "


"This reduced my flu and pneumonia symptoms tremendously. I was having severe head and body aches along with a horrible cough, and it relieved the pain so I could rest."


"I felt like I was getting a YI so I bought the 7 fay treatment, took it the first day and felt better the next day so I went to take it tonight and within 2 mins I had intense itching in my vagina. It was unbearable. It did only last 10 mins but it was awful. Now I feel some burning but it's bearable. I should've just called my doctor. I'm Def not risking this pain again."


"I've been taking this for the past six months and I'm so ready to ditch it! Yes, it cleared up my acne but I've gained almost 10 lbs and cannot get rid of them! I've tried exercise and changed my eating habits, but no success. It's also made me really irritable and tired. Thankfully I'm meeting with my doctor next month!"


"Do NOT use this! I got a very mild yeast infection right after my period and decided I didn't want to wait another month, so I picked this up at the store to speed things along. A couple minutes after application my vagina was ON FIRE. It burned and itched so badly my whole body was twitching and I was tossing and turning in bed and crying. The burning finally mostly subsided in about 2 hours, my vagina was still pretty itchy, but I managed to fall asleep. The next day I picked up a store brand of clotrimazole and that stuff worked wonders, I got relief immediately and there was absolutely no burning or itching!"


"I have had emotional disorders all my life.  I am 48 years old.  I've always been taking something most of my adult life.  I recently went off Lithium (after 2 years of 900 mg/day) and was put on Abilify.  Wow.  It's only been 3-4 days of taking it and I can tell a big difference.  Taking 1/2 10 mg for 2 weeks then the whole 10 mg after that.  I also take Prozac 40 mg/day.  Thyroid medicines, blood pressure medicines and 2 mg clonazepam to sleep.  I am surprised this Abilify has put energy in me so quick.  "


"Have taken Paxil 10mg/daily for the last 9 yrs off and on. I have very few side effects. I do get the dry mouth and hot flashes the first month of starting and hot flashes after missing a couple of doses. The side effects are different for everyone, I actually lose weight on Paxil because without it I am a nervous eater. Paxil does help with my concentration and memory. I tend to worry about all the "what-if's?" which clogs up my mind. Paxil helps me put things in prospective, I don't sweat all the small while I take it. Works well for me."


"I'm 22, I have very sensitive skin and stomach. I started this pill in September and it's now mid-December. The first month I had nausea, the second month I had various digestive issues (slightly worse than usual), and now in the 3rd full month, I am having breakouts. The nausea and the stomach issues have cleared up so I'm holding out for the acne to clear up. Meanwhile, my breasts have grown two inches! The side effects aren't so bad and the acne I have now isn't much worse than what I had before. Some people say they've experienced mood swings, depression, or change in sex drive but I haven't noticed that at all."


"I am giving it 10, because it simply works, and it's the best med out there for anxiety. Bad thing is.. it's very addictive . I have been taking it for almost a year now, on and off, 0.5 if I feel very anxious before going to bed. Yes withdrawals can be bad, but don't listen to all the bad things people say when going off, if you need it you take it.. My mother has been on this med for 10 years as prescribed. If you don't abuse it. You have no reason to be scared. Cheers A!"


"I've only been on this for a week, but I wanted to write a positive review because there are a lot of terrible reviews of this product out there. I can't say much about weight gain, because I've only been on it a week, but I haven't noticed any chance as far as that goes.  The first day I took it in the morning and had a bad headache that evening.  It didn't go away even after taking pain killers.  The second day, right after I took it, I was pretty uncomfortable for a few hours.  It felt like really bad cramps.  The third day, and ever since, I've learned to take it while eating breakfast (not right before or after, but rather during).  l haven't had any more problems.  I had noticed increased breast size and clearing skin already."


"I have been on tri-spintec for about 1 year now. At first it wasnt really matching when my period should come but every pill does that for the first few months until you body gets use to it. Besides that I think my boobs grew a tiny bit. I've heard some negative but nothing wrong with me. Seems to fit me fine."

"Yaz was amazing for my life.  I was on it since a teenager.  I stopped taking it when all the new health warnings came out because my OB recommended it.  I didn't like every other birth control after.  I then had two children and went to an intrauterine device and didn't like that either. I then switched to another pill (awful) along with the Nuvaring.  Then I begged to switch back to Yaz.  I love it still.  Although the cost is higher this time around."


"I was put on this birth control when Gildess was recalled. Gildess was PERFECT for me so I hoped that the change wouldn't be as different, but I was wrong. Granted, this pill did a good job in preventing pregnancy and there was no breakthrough bleeding. I experienced mood swings about a week into taking this pill and honestly did not recognize myself. I never understood depression caused by the pill because I never experienced it but this pill literally made my life hell. I was so moody, crying at the smallest things, and my sex drive was GONE. I also had no desire to eat because of the constant nausea and abdominal pain. Avoid this pill, the side effects are NOT worth it. Currently waiting to be switched to brand Loestrin fe."


"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!"


"This is the only anti-nausea drug that has ever worked for me following surgery or a medical procedure.  No matter how mild the sedation I always ended up vomiting. Now I'm a believer.  I can come out of surgery and go home and sleep (yes, it does make you sleep), and not spend hours vomiting."


"No stomach upset or drowsiness...FINALLY"


"This medication has literally saved my life!! I was severely depressed and had horrible anxiety and almost committed suicide. The first week on this drug was awful and I was very sick....then a miracle happened. After only a couple of weeks I suddenly realised that I felt 'normal', my thoughts were clear and organised, I was able to laugh, focus, I didn't feel like crying anymore, my fun-loving personality was shining through once more and I became a better version of me. Everyone has noticed and commented, I am now a great person to be around. I am able to work and eat and sleep and function like a normal young woman and it's all thanks to this amazing drug. It really has given me my life back."


"I love this medication, it has made such a difference in my life. I was on the Zofran pump while pregnant for hyperemesis gravidarum, it is the reason I was able to carry my child to term. It is the reason we are both here today. I continue to take Zofran as needed for nausea stemming from complications with fibromyalgia, ibs and celiacs. It can cause constipation from time to time, but that is much easier than nausea and vomiting all the time. It melts quickly and within minutes the nausea is gone."


"This drug is great. Sure you can go med free, which I've done, to prove to yourself that anxiety can't hurt you and there is nothing to fear (blah blah blah) - BUT my life truly was misery with this approach. What's the point, I told myself, of proving I can tough it out.

Left unchecked anxiety can spin you into fearing all kinds of silly stuff - doctor/dentist visits, flying, being stuck in traffic, shopping ....

Klonopin kills the deep down anxiety.

Oh - and if all you have is anxiety (no depression) - stay far far away from the antidepressants......some friendly advice."


"Easy to take haven't felt any side effects. No secondary infection.   12.5 years experience used with CellCept and for a while with Prednisone."


"i would like to say to anyone that really wants to quit abusing opiates that Subutex saved my life. I've been abusing prescription pain medicines for 5 yrs. I began taking Suboxone then after about a year switched over to Subutex because it cost less. Today I have no cravings and live a very normal life. At least I will not go to jail on a felony drug charge if I'm caught with them and I'm taking them under doctors supervision. I thank GOD and my wife for standing by me through all this. I've come a long way."


"Was prescribed Phenergan with opioids after highly invasive complex oral surgery. Slept for a week & did not care if my mouth hurt. Best stuff ever."


"Was prescribed mirtazipine after citalopram failed to lift my depression and anxiety. I must say I was in a deep depression, you know, the place where everything is gloomy and hopeless and you just want to crawl into some cave and die. 15mg for the first couple of weeks nearly made me give up hope on this drug. The lethargy, hopelessness and anxiety deepened.  I am into my third week and I have upped the dose to 30mg as prescribed and I feel completely different. The anxiety is reducing by the day, I feel hopeful, upbeat and for once in eight months, I wake up in the morning with a spring in my steps. The zombie days seem to be disappearing. Mirtazipine is working for me and I hope it works for anyone who has started taking it."
