"Increased urination and loss of bladder control."


"Hey ladies!! STOP WORRYING!! The more you stress the nervous you get. I've taken this pill twice and was afraid if it wouldn't work the 2nd time, but it did!! This pill is a life saver! I had unprotective sex on July 4th and wasn't sure if he came in me or not, but I wanted to be sure. So I went and bought the pill 7 hours after sex and took it instantly. I had no reactions towards the pill and received no symptoms. I felt bloated and nauseous at times and wanted to ge my period ASAP! But it never came...after waiting for 5 lonnnnnnggg stressful days, I finally got my period!!!! I'm sitting on the toilet as I'm writing this review and I see blot clots and I'm receiving horrible cramps, but I'm super happy that I can finally stop stressing!"


"I have used Humira for about 1 year and 4 months.  This has been great.  I still use the Clobex spray on the tough spots that seem to never clear up.  But, they are very small.  If you are suffering from psoriasis then I would recommend trying Humira for sure.  The warnings they give make me a little nervous however.  I had moderate Psoriasis that seemed to be getting worse with time.  I had large places on my shins and was getting places on my scalp and my back and chest.  I thank my Doctor every time I see him for offering Humira to me.  I hope it keeps working with no side effects.  I am 46 years old and this Psoriasis hit me about three years ago from nowhere, no family history of it."


"Felt like the energizer bunny! Within an hour I was racing around work. Pain I normally have(back surgery) disappeared but after 6 hrs when I slowed down finally, I ached everywhere!"


"This pill is just simplest Amazing. I have severe to moderate constipation. Three pills alway does the trick for me. Although you may experience pain cramps. But out other than that this pill is a lifesavior"


"I first took cryselle when I was 15 and I had the worst side effects. break through bleeding, headaches, anxiety attacks, weight gain,and my periods lasted 2 weeks. Got on it again when I was 18 and had Little side effects! My periods are a little heavier and hurt a bit more, and have very sore boobs other than that it's a charm. No pregnancy"


"This medication not only helped my mood to pull me out of my depression but it also decreased my migraines which could last for several days at a time."


"I am only 34 and suffer from a serious back injury so I have periodical need for the massive pitting edema I tend to show up with from time to time. And this does it's job! "


"I just wanted to share my experience with the skipped period side effect that can happen with this pill. I have taken Plan b twice before this last time and had experienced no side effects those times. This time I took it the day after my period ended, When it came time for my next period to start there was nothing. I searched online and it seemed a lot of people posted about skipped period but never followed up to say if they got there period or not. I took 3 pregnancy test and all came back negative. I skipped 1 whole period and then the next month my period came right on time. So if you experience this same effect and your test come back negative, dont panic. See your doctor if you have to or just wait for your body to get back on track"


"Solodyn has cleared up my skin completely. Contrary to the first comment someone posted, this is the first antibiotic that has worked without giving me constant yeast infections.  The only drawback is the sensitivity to sunlight. One day at the beach with SPF 30 still caused me to become ill and badly burned."


"I have only been on Falmina for about 2 months but I'm switching soon due to the ridiculous amount of cystic acne it has caused. I'm prone to acne anyway, but this put it through the roof. I never got chin or cheek acne until this product. The up side it besides that I have no other side effects. My mood is good, no nausea or headaches, and I think it's slowed my hair growth. Most of the problems I've heard about this birth control have to do with skin so if you're not acne prone then I would recommend it."


"I was on this for Bipolar II, but diagnosis later withdrawn. This drug.  Knocks.  You.  Out.  And it also gives you tremors, so don't plan to do precision anything if you're on it.  It dehydrates you and makes you have to pee a lot."


"Nexplanon is a wonderful bc for preventing pregnancy. I've had Nexplanon for over 2 yrs now and I'm ready to get it out. Insertion was a breeze. I got my first period 2mo after insertion and that lasted for 7mo straight. Then I had no period for 8mo. During that time, my mood was really off and I was so irritable. I gained weight, I didn't change my eating or exercise habits so I know it wasn't my lifestyle that did it. My sex drive dipped for a long time and it only finally started to come back recently. Everybody's body will react differently. I would recommend though because it's so effective. I'm just tired of the side effects and want to go back to normal."


"Been suffering with low back pain worse in the buttocks and sometimes hips.  Numbness, tingling in both legs.  Underwent a laminotomy for spinal compression due to synovial cyst and facet joint disease.  Have a couple herniated discs, but left alone in surgery...felt I would recover from this on its own as I have very mild degenerative disc disease..  Since taking Lyrica for only 3 days at a low dose my pain has subsided enough so I could actually leave my home to go out to dinner.  Pain went from about "10" at its worst down to about a m "2-3".   I would say try it as it may work for you. Side effects are less than gabapention."


"Okay, if your reading this you are probably in the boat I was in 2 months ago. So like all of you reading this I did something I feel like I shouldn't have, so to prevent another mistake from happening I prevented it. I went 8 hours after having unprotected sex to buy plan b one step to do the trick. I took the pill 8 hours after unprotected sex and then the urge of waiting from the kicked in I had just literally got off my period 2 days prior. 4/5 days later I started minor bleeding brown blood and not like a normal period for 4-5 days so this was literally my second period in a month and it scared the crap out of me because it was almost like spotting. So after a week late pregnancy test were my friend then AUNT FLOW CAME 2 wks late !!"


"I started taking this during a time that I felt like I was at the end of my rope and frantic to find something to help me feel better (I had previously tried Cipralex and Effexor). I started at 150mg XL (moved to 300 after 2 weeks) and I noticed a difference in my mood and energy within the first couple of days! I did errands that I hadn't done in months, cooked, and wasn't sleeping all day! The drastic change in energy subsided, but I feel like it helped me wake up in the morning. It did slightly elevate my anxiety, but that subsided as well. I really recommend this medication! I only stopped because I found that it made my Vyvanse less effective (prescribed later on). I still am conflicted about, since this mediation was a GAME CHANGER"


"Still have the occasional heart burn, but over all I love it."


"I have been on Aromasin for 2 years now. Prior I took tamoxifen. Sure, there are side effects, (pain in my leg,  painful joints, and hot flashes) but I had stage 3 ca and am still alive 4.5 years."


"I had the nexplanon implant put in, in September of 2014, the incertion was painless because they numbed the area first. I had a ton of bruising at the site and the pain and bruising lasted a while. I had one period the week after I got the nexplanon but it was light and lasted maybe 5 days.. Then no period at all. I started noticing weight gain, about 15 pounds and for my height it showed a lot. I was nauseous everyday, very moody, and stressed out for no reason. I got it out 2 days ago and I already feel better. Not nauseous at all, and I was nauseous for 9 months everyday. I wouldn't recommend this just because of how it made me feel, but it may work for other people. On the bright side I had no period.."


"I have had GERD for many years and have tried everything. Prevacid works the best. I take 30 mgs a day. "


"Amazing."


"I have all day sickness. I started taking it around 9 weeks, after 24 hrs of straight vomiting, and when I woke the next day, I was able to keep something down. Initially, I was sleepy, but I started taking 1 pill every 6-8 hrs and I usually have no sleepiness issues and I'm able to eat throughout the day. I'm 16 weeks and still on it because without it, I still have times/days where I feel sick. When I forget to take a dose is when it doesn't work - I think each person will need to figure out the best times to take it."


"I've had a very good experience with this form of birth control. No bleeding at all, no side effects, not an issues what so ever. I've been takin it for about 9 months now and feeling fine"


"Me and my husband tried to have another baby for about 4 years. I didn't have any problems getting pregnant with our first child. So went to the doctor and he proscribed me clomid. I took clomid for 5 days and I ovulated and found out 3 weeks latter I'm having a baby and recently at 8 weeks along I found out I'm having twins."


"I've been on this birth control for 3 months and have not gained a single pound. I've actually lost weight, which was surprising. I have not had any side effects other than mood swings for the first week I went on it and spotting the week before I got my period. I don't use condoms with this birth control and have sex every other day and still haven't gotten pregnant. I really can't say enough positive things about this birth control."


"It made me nauseous, but not too bad. I love this medicine. Cleared up my cystic pimples within days. I'm also on tretinoin cream which my insurance also pays. My dermatologist is amazing for recommending both. I get compliments that my face is flawless. It feels great! You will get little flare ups here and there don't give up, give the medicine a chance it will work. I recommend it!"


"I did experience some side effects: the feeling of menstrual cramping (but not because I had a hysterectomy 8 years ago), diarrhea, some vaginally discharge. Nothing severe or unbearable."


"Worst birth control ever, make me sick, I have headaches since the day 1, mood swings, anxious , was feeling terrible, so I found out that a lot of people taking this birth control are having the same conditions, so I stoped, the next day my headache was gone."


"Was given the five day pack for strep throat. Day four and finally improving a bit. Probably not the strongest or beat for strep, but slowly does the job and works for five days after completing meds."


"Worked great for my 13 year old w schizoaffective disorder for 8 months, the only side effect was vomiting a few min after taking it at times. Zantac seemed to help for a while, but the vomiting became more frequent so ultimately he had to come off of it. It seemed to work well though with no restlessness, akasthesia, or any other side effects. He took it with lithium, so it might have been the combination that was too much for his stomach."

"I suffer from PTSD and the associated issues Anxiety and depression that is part of the package. Started a generic brand, This is the 3rd drug I have been on previously was on Lexapro, worked but caused a very emotionless state after 2 years.Then Valdoxan worked slowly, great for sleep,  then eventually levelled off after 2 years.

As for Cymbalta, the first 5 days wasn't fun, tired, anxious, negative thoughts, very spaced out couldn't drive, and Nausea. Then just as fast as the side effects came on they went over 48 hrs. Now just a week in feel better, more positive very little side effects slight nausea that is improving every day.

I'm confident that the drug will work and find myself looking forward to the future."


"I avoid taking Imitrex if I can because I experience so many side effects from it. I get jaw and shoulder pain/stiffness, pain in the back of my neck and scalp, headaches, drowsiness and I just generally feel weird and awful after taking it. After 2 hours or so, my migraine goes away and the awful-ness of the Imitrex lessens so that is why I do take it occasionally. Every time I take it, I'm reminded of how badly I need to find something else."


"Just take it with PLENTY of food, ,after dinner would be best and you should be fine with stomach pains or vomiting"


"Harvoni Rules !!!!!  I was cured in 4 weeks of treatment !!!!!"


"I work overnight shift in a hospital, sterile instrument supplies, not patient care. I picked up a bad head cold which morphed into a sinus infection, no fever. Not the end of the world of course, but after 3 weeks and 3 work shifts missed, I went and got it checked out, and was prescribed azithromyocin, 5-day treatment. Within 2 days my sinuses and head began improving but my only complaint is the possible side-effect of insomnia. Again, I work overnight shift, and sleeping during the day is never easy, but I've called off 3 additional work shifts since being on this medication, solely from not being able to sleep enough (less than 4 hours). Even though my head and sinuses are getting better, I refuse to work if I haven't slept enough."


"I had my first infusion last week and within 3 days, I can honestly say I have no pain for the first time in weeks.  I didn't have any reactions or side effects except for feeling exhausted, but that maybe related to not being able to sleep for weeks prior, due to pain.  I am so happy with the effectiveness and results I have had.  I would definitely recommend it!"


"I have been on Seasonale for almost a year and I am switching to Sprintec. I am switching because the breakthrough bleeding and cramping became ridiculous. I would have my withdrawal bleed, have about 1-2 months of peace, then the spotting began and would not stop. I'd double up for 3-4 days or however long it took to stop it then go back on 1 pill when the spotting stopped. 2 weeks later the spotting would return, rinse and repeat. The cramps during the breakthrough bleeding were worse than the cramps during the withdrawal bleed! I've had enough of this pill and am switching to Sprintec and hoping for the best."


"This helped my neurogenic bladder and neurogenic bowel condition.  After 2 years, tho, it started giving me nausea and vomiting.  I see you are supposed to take it 1 hr before or 2 hrs after a meal or it can cause nausea and vomiting.  I hadn't ever paid attention to that and I was fine, now I can't tolerate it and am sad bc it really helped both conditions."


"This is the first review I've ever wrote in life. I say that to say, this is how horrible Xulane is, so bad that I had to write a review about it. I started the patch 3 weeks ago. I was very excited because I didn't have to take pills, which means you have to remember to take them everyday. With the patch you just have to wear/change them once a week. First week of using the patch I notice a difference in my body. I was very nauseous, migraines was almost everyday, and loss of appetite. Second week, I was very very emotional, I would cry for no reason along with being very moody. I'm literally nauseous everyday now, I have vomit a few times. Long story short, I have pregnant symptoms. STAY AWAY FROM THE PATCH!! It's horrible!"


"This medicine did a number on my legs.  Had numbness, the legs felt like led, wobbly.  I had been a mail carrier and walked 10-11 miles and day, retired but continued to walk 4-5 miles a day besides being very active with DIY projects and part time job.  Took Lipitor earlier this year.  It got the numbers down, but I had 3 ER visits in one week and spent the night in the hospital because my legs were acting up and it scared me and my heart did weird things.  Lot of stress for me and my family.  We have good insurance, but this will still probably be around $2000.  I would not recommend Lipitor to anyone-there are other cholesterol meds out there."


"I have been getting the shot since I was 16 (Now 22). No weight gain, no increased appetite for me but everyones bodies are different. I wasnt fond of the shot the first 6 months but all of my minor side effects dissappeared and my body became use to it.

Once I wanted to conceive it took only 3 cycles to become pregnant. Now that I have my daughter I will be going back on the shot and hoping I still have a good outcome with it."


"I took it when I was felt a migraine coming on and I experienced dizziness, memory loss, shakiness and a fever. I had used it before with no problems."


"I've been on Portia (the generic version) for about 6 months now. At the beginning everything was fine because this was a step up from my normal estrogen levels that my old birth control had. But after 6 months I've seen great increase in weight gain and I'm eating more healthy than I ever was and I exercise daily. I'm so frustrated with this birth control and almost stopped taking it all together, but I'm happy to say I'm changing back to my old one and hope this weight gain goes down. I'll never recommend Portia to anyone."


"Don't do it......after taking this for about two weeks.  I found myself becoming suicidal.  As a veteran with PTSD I highly recommend anybody that's on antidepressants or antipsychotics to stay away from this prescription."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Has seemed to keep a-fib occurrences down but upsets stomach sometimes. Hate having another med that I may have to take for the rest of my life."


"I was on depo for only a few months, I will say your better off being pregnant. You feel every symptom of pregnancy and even get a prego tummy. Seriously everyone asks me if I am pregnant. Its so embarrassing, The symptoms are the worst. I've had the worst acne break out. Pains in my stomach. I can't stop gaining weight in my stomach. Good news is it does prevent pregnancy, but its honestly not worth everything you go through. Like those weird medications that say you may die but its 60% effective. All I am saying is depo will change your life and in a not so lucky way. I would have rather of just been pregnant. Instead I look and feel pregnant with no baby. Mind you I am a skinny person very petite, its extremely noticeable"


"Do not take this bad medication. It's highly addictive. Hard to come off like Xanax. This is good sleeping pill. Yes it's calm down at night if it takes on night but after waking up it's giving hang over like you drunk 15 shots of vodka the night before"


"Terrible akathisia."


"I started taking Levaquin about 12 hours ago.  My muscles are very weak, I%u2019m dizzy, restless, didn%u2019t sleep last night, and having a very hard time focusing.  I%u2019m sure this is a great drug if you need to go to these extremes, but it%u2019s a little much for me.  I%u2019m calling the Doctor to get off of it this morning."


"I've been taking this for about 2 months now.  I've lost 14lbs on it and it seems as if I'm tapering off on weight loss so I may have to move up to the next dose.  At first I had the nasty metal taste in my mouth, so much so that I carried a bottle of mouthwash around with me!  Could hardly stand it.  But now, I don't have it at all.  The side effects did taper off altogether.  I find the medication very helpful along with working out."


"I posted on here a couple of days ago to say I was starting Esitalo. Well, 3rd day in and I had the worst panic attack of my life, passed out, vomited, was dripping with sweat. The first 2 days were so easy but have decided not to keep taking it. Will head back to my doctor. Don't think this drug is for me."


"I was on Depo-Provera for a few years with one break to try the Nuvaring just because of the bone density loss warnings. I had no weight gain or bleeding or hormone swings, just some occasional crazy night sweats. Then I had my first baby in May 2014 and started Depo in June. It has not been the same experience. My bleeding is irregular and lasts 3 days to 4 weeks and this month has hit me every other week. It is January 2015, and I quit. It just isn't working for me this time around. "


"I took Topamax for approximately 5 years with little trouble. I did have the metallic taste, and could not drink carbonated beverages. In July 2009, I had to quit Topamax due to a little published side effect, kidney stones. I was on a pretty large dose (600 mg).

I had a 9mm Kidney stone and many many small stones. I take Keppra XR now. It prevents the seizures, but I have gained all the weight plus some that I had lost on Topamax, but no seizures or kidney stones."


"This medication made me feel awful. I woke up everyday with a bad headache, experienced nausea, dizziness, and extreme tiredness throughout the week (everyday). I don't think I can finish the full week as I need to resume my life. I wouldn't take this again. However the infection seems to be gone so it worked for that."


"Stay away! I got my first shot September 22, 2015. I was good no bleeding or anything! November 16, 2015.... The bleeding started and I have been bleeding every since. In December I stopped for about a week before Christmas. It started again in full force. I thought the bleeding was due to my fibroids that I had removed in January of 2016. They gave me a second shot on December 29th and here it is, after I had my surgery, I am STILL bleeding. So now o know that the bleeding wasn't caused by the fibroids, but the removal of the fibroids did cause my bleeding to be light and not as heavy as it was. I hate this shot and I will be glad when it wears off! I will never get this mess again "

"I found the Suprep very difficult to take. I followed a low fiber/ light diet at least 3 days prior. The straw was somewhat helpful. But the buildup of whatever chemical they put in the prep was quickly overwhelming. I got through the first dose but threw up after drinking all the water. It started working after 5 minutes. I had alot of discomfort and cramping and chills. The cramping was relieved after I started going. I  was disappointed it took so many trips to the bathroom.  After starting the 2nd dose the fluids started running clear. I did not finish all the second dose. I was happy to pour about the last one quarter cup away and everything associated with it. My endoscopy and colonoscopy went fine. I will never do the Suprep again"


"This was the first birth control pill I went on because I was having heavy periods and cramps but also because I started having sex. Never really had too many problems, still had pretty heavy days for the first 2 out of 6 but at least they would come like clockwork. I did get super emotional for about 3 days a month where almost anything would make me cry and where I would get the occasional extreme cramp. Overall it worked pretty well for me, never got pregnant even though had a ton of sex near the end (usually also had condoms) and managed to rarely miss a pill. "


"I absolutely live Sprintec. No cramps. Light periods. No major side effects. Cheap and works for me!"


"Only took Xarelto for 6 days when I started having urinary bleeding."


"It's work wonderfully but it's extremely expensive if you don't have great insurance."


"Took it for basilar type migraines triggered by fibromyalgia due to a car accident when I was 12.
Botox works too well in me. All the surrounding muscle of each trigger point injected locked up.
This works great in my mother who has a different type of migraine"


"For the past few years, five years to be exact, I have struggled with acne pretty badly. The beginning of this year (February) I decided to try and do something about it, I went to my nearby Planned Parenthood and got prescribed to Ortho Tri Cyclen. I went to my local pharmacy to pick up my pills only to see they had given me Tri Sprintec as it was moderately cheaper and "made of the same ingredients". I have not had many problems on this pill.. no weight gain, no cramps, no nausea... but my face... it got extremely worse. My entire right side of my cheek and my chin broke out in large patches of cystic acne.... only to have it clear up significantly during my placebo pill week...
In fact I have heard many stories of the brand name/generic having extremely different affects on some people... so within the next few days I'm switching over to the brand name and hoping for the best."


"Drug works. Thins your blood out! Been on Xarelto for 1 year and quitting it. Have a loop monitor for 6 months and no AFib. One doctor says quit it one says stay on. Some score they use says I can quit so that's what I'm going to do. First six months had some muscle pain but I blamed Lipitor. Started to get blurry vision so eye doctor said everything was fine. Now I'm a year in. I have 2 large bruises on both legs and big toe just recently for really no apparent reason. Nose bleeds almost daily, muscle pain in bicep and upper back with heavy feeling in legs when walking. Shortness of breath comes out of nowhere and lasts less than an hour happens on occasion. Quit and so far muscle pain has subsided."


"Started out with 5 mg 3 months ago.  Began having slight external itching after about a month.  Never turned into an internal yeast infection.  It was off and on.  Started taking 10 mg about 10 days  ago and it turned into an “worse itch ever ”.  Awful!  Couldn’t tell much difference in going to the bathroom nor a change in my blood sugar.  Did not help A1c.  I would rather fight high blood sugar than take this medication.!!"


"I used the 150mg capsule for a severe tooth abscess/infection that was painful and extremely inflamed. After only 36 hours of treatment, the infection began to subside and the pain level dropped drastically. This medicine performed very well and I would suggest it to someone else."


"Excellent medication! When I was first on Abilify I hated it. At first the doctors put me on 10mg which I hated because the dose was too high ( thinking about it now) . Then my doctor raised it to 20mg which was just making me even more emotionless. So I switched back to risperidone consta (injection), but I've always hated risperidone consta, so I thought my life was over. But then I noticed I had a full pack of abilify left over from before. So I decided to take just small dose of Abilify along side the risperidone consta, and guess what? The Abilify is great at such a small dose. It completely blocks the side effects of risperidone and I can live a greater life now. So I take  Abilify and have risperidone injection every 2weeks."


"Made me so sick for about 8 hours and no bm.
This medicine is dangerous!! I would have called 911 but was in so much pain I couldn't even speak!!"


"Arthrotec75 was prescribed after I developed serious aching in my right thigh that prevented me from standing or walking for more than a few minutes. Eventually, a herniated disc at L-4-L5 was diagnosed. A large fragment was pressing up against a nerve. After a few more weeks, the onset of motor deficit in my foot led to the need to have surgery. If that hadn't happened, I might have been able to avoid the surgery indefinitely by continuing to take Arthrotec. Other NSAIDs might have worked too, but protection of the stomach lining by Arthrotec's misoprostol was appealing."


"I am a 45 year old male - been on Lotrel for 3 years with no problems."


"I used Dymista and the first use was excellent results and a reduction of my snoring and dripping sinus. Price is too high without insurance and the $35 coupon excludes senior citizens that take government funding. "


"This medicine is working for me.  I am taking 5 mg amlodipine daily.  I am working with my doctor to lower the amount to 2.5mg daily because of the success. Thanks."


"This is coming from someone who has struggled with severe anxiety issues and panic attacks,since I was a young child. Before being prescribed Hydroxyzine, I would have at least 2 panic attacks a day, if not more then that. And my high anxiety levels always interfered with everyday life...I would over think everything, plus I worried about every little thing that happened, it sucked. I'm 25 now, and my anxiety levels are kept at a minimum, due to the Hydroxyzine..I'm able to function normally at work, plus I don't worry as much. I feel like I can be myself again"


"I have been on Suboxone since 2005 (8 years). I started taking this medicine when I hit rock bottom. I was addicted to percocet, morphine and klonopan. I hated myself.

My doctor suggested I take Suboxone.

8 years later, I am still on this medication. I have never relapsed while on Suboxone!!!!!

I have a few side effects: dizzy, sweaty and tired. These effects are nothing compared to the way I was living my life addicted to opiates.

I am truly thankful for Suboxone."


"I had implanon put in February 2016 and it's now November 2017. The first month on it my period was pretty normal. After that it was non stop spotting for a while. Then it stopped a little after a year of having, but shortly after that my periods have been going on every single day and they are even heavier now! My period has gotten so heavy and painful and it never stops. I'm losing my mind because of this birth control and I honestly can't wait to get it taken out."


"After six months of taking it, it didn't do a thing. "


"I'm on day 2 of adzenys.

I like that I take it once.  But the texture is gritty once dissolved. It's a dissolvable pill so what do you expect? I do experience dry mouth and slight decrease in appetite but it's nothing serious. My doctor started me on a pediatric dose of 6.3 milligrams once a day. Another problem I see is that I'm having a hard time falling asleep. It could be because I take the medication around 11 o'clock in the morning but that's the time I get up. So it's honestly too early for me to tell.we will see once I get a routine going and school starts again."


"I loved Nexplanon at first, because I couldn't forget to take it like the pill. The procedure was quick and fairly painless and the tiny scar faded quickly. I had not noticed anything, but my mother and partner immediately noticed mood changes. My mother even told me I was so mean that I was unbearable to be around sometimes. I have since then started to notice that things agitate me very easily and I am quick to shout at someone, where I was the opposite before getting on this birth control. Fast forward to about a year on this birth control, I had my period for FORTY days straight with no sign of stopping. I had to be prescribed medicine to stop the bleeding. Also developed bad anxiety and a ton of depersonalization bouts."


"I just switched to this from Loestrin 1/20 and I am happy I did. Loestrin 1/20 had me crazy moody, bad acne, and melasma on my face. Once I switched to Lo Loestrin Fe no more crazy mood, acne is pretty much gone. Just a few here and there but that's normal for me. Period is pretty normal with only spotting on the last week. As for the Melasma, It stopped spreading but I am now seeing a dermatologist to fix it.  My only downside with Lo Loestrin Fe is that I have noticed my hair falling out a little bit more than usual but I hope it is one thing that will subside as I keep taking it. Price wise it is reasonable. My insurance doesn't cover so I'm suppose to pay $50 but with my coupon card I only pay $25. Overall I am happy with Lo Loestrin Fe"


"I just had my second one out in yesterday. The first couple months took some getting use to for my arm so there were things like itching and some hurting going on but that went away. I don't even notice it's there anymore bi didn't have a period until the last two months before it was time to take it out. I love it an hence that's why I got another one put in."


"I have continued with my menstrual period after being on Yaz for 3 weeks. This is the reason I started the pill to regulate not to have it all-the-time."


"Geodon has been effective in controlling my hallucinations and paranoia. It does make me drowsy and makes me shake after I take it. I have gained about 30 lbs while on it but it has been the most effective antipsychotic for me to relieve visual and auditory hallucinations and paranoia. I have taken Seroquel, Abilify, and Geodon and this is the most effective for me."


"I have had multiple sclerosis for 12 years. Been on every medicine, steroids and the list goes on. 1 dose of tysabri. I'm walking 50% of the time without my walker (which I was using 100% of the time for the last 2 years). My mental and my balance have made a great recovery. I can't wait for my second dose!"


"I was on this patch for about 3 months, then it stopped working right and was giving me irregular periods and making me really sick. When I finally stop using it last November, I had symptoms of withdrawal and the sickness I was feeling before was intensified. I had not realized it at the time but the patch was majorly affecting my mood, to the point where I would snap at my boyfriend for flicking through channels the wrong way. Now that I am off it and it is all out of my system, I am finally getting back to normal and am myself again. "


"I've been on Pristiq for 10 days now. It has really helped me -NO SIDE EFFECTS. I eat when taking it, it helps. I'm also on Suboxone for pain. I've noticed that I smoke more now, which might be from financial problems. I get constipation bit more but minimal problem. I have to take it in the morning like many people say or it keeps me up. Weird how different it affects people - some people say it helps them sleep. Goodluck folks."


"Soon after beginning Contrave I began to feel really wonky, couldn't sleep no matter how I tried. As much as I wanted to quit, I gave it 6 weeks anyway. Like many medications, thought the side effects would pass. They didn't. I titrated off as my doctor recommended. A month and a half later, I no longer feel wonky, but still only getting 2-3 hours of sleep a night. My son in law has been on it a year, working hard to change his life. But even as active as he is, surfer, runner, skateboarding, he's lost a whole 12 pounds. Just not worth it."


"I stared using this a week ago.  I have gone from chronic high pain to a level of 1 to 2.  I can function like a person again.  While this is only until we address the actual problem causing the back pain, this has made me look forward to having days with very little pain.  The difference is like night and day.  I still have the pain if I stand for too long, or if I do too much physical activity, but I can now sit for extended period of time pain free.  I have a slight upward tic, nervousness, and at times dizzy.  I take this with food.  For me it is a relief to be so pain free after dealing with the problem for over 18 years without any real relief."


"I had this inserted February 2013 after my Implanon was due for removal (I didn't have a period with Implanon for 3 years and was really pleased). The insertion was fine but within about 2-3 weeks I had my period for at least a month. It's now Sept 2015 and I have my period for literally 3 weeks of the month every month, this can reach to 4 weeks now and again. If I have a 4 week period I won't have another one for sometimes 1 week or 4 weeks and it's the same on and on. This month has been dreadful, I have been depressed, stressed, crying, bleeding for 3 weeks now and I feel dizzy nearly every day. My period was ending and started again as it was ending. It's absolute torture. So I'm getting it out on Tuesday, can't handle it anymore!"


"I am 28. I lost 16 pounds my first 30 days. Gives you energy, and makes less hungry. Eager to see what happens my next 30 days. It gives you plenty of energy to exercise. Love it."


"Had infrequent asthma all my life (I am 63) but never had to use an inhaler regularly. After a cold turned into pneumonia plus a sinus infection, my doc said to use my ProAir HFA inhaler more often. But serious asthma had set in and I wasn't getting relief. Burning sensation in lungs, difficulty breathing, no energy, was not resting well...you guys know the drill. After two puffs of Dulera, the burning sensation was reduced, lungs felt more relaxed and I could breathe more deeply. I slept better last night and awoke feeling rested...wow! After two puffs this morning (at 5:30 a.m.) I felt the burning completely subside. Feel so much better. Even sinus pressure reduced. Looking forward to feeling good again. Hope is in sight."


"Adipex-P (Phentermine) is awesome.  Not only does it take the hunger away, it boosts energy.  I've been on Adipex-P and went from 196 to 135 lbs in 4 months, with only 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week, plus the significantly reduced diet that this pill allows. It made losing weight easy."


"I've been on 75mg for 5 months. I slowly started to feel normal and before I knew it, within 2 months. Had a huge breakthrough. I was no longer having panic attacks. What I like about Zoloft is that it makes me feel like me. Not a drugged up version of me. I had a few side effects like loss of appetite, insomnia but all in all, I feel a lot better."


"I have had some difficulty with anxiety and depression. I started taking Zoloft in January after a family crisis triggered my anxiety. I was on Zoloft for 8 months, but it stopped working and was making my jaw tense and causing me to grind my teeth.  My doctor switched me to Lexapro, and I started at 5mg.  I stayed on the 5 mg until my follow-up appointment. The 5 mg starter dosage was not very effective for me. This is my 3rd day on 10 mg of Lexapro. I feel like my old self. I don't shovel food into my face or feel bloated like I did with the Zoloft. I have my old sense of humor back. So far, I have not experienced any sexual side effects, but I noticed that Lexapro is causing a small amount of facial acne. Thumps UP!"


"Decided to take Dulcolax in order to cleanse after a frisky weekend of unjudicious eating. Took one lil pill after 11:30pm and crawled into bed. It is 2:30am and I have particularly terrible stomach cramps. Right below my esophagus. Right in the trapper. Got up once to see if gravity would help me move the sludge along, but I just got nauseous and sat on the toilet long enough to realize that I wanted to be back in bed again. I swiped a waterbottle from the fridge and a pack of Saltine crackers from the pantry on my hunched waddle back to the bedroom. As I lay there in an extra sad version of the fetal position, I read some of the reviews on this website. As a second-time user of the stuff, I must confirm the rumors. But Saltines help."


"It worked for the first 6 months, but now I can't stay awake or do anything productive, and if I miss a dose I get brain shocks and debilitating migraines, so I'm weaning off it with help from the doc"


"I have suffered from severe depression and social anxiety for years. After 3 days on Celexa my world felt completely different. Everything feels right again and for the first time in ages I feel happy. The only side effect I have encountered is random bouts of fatigue but I have been told it will balance out after a few weeks. This medicine is incredible and I can't believe it took me so long to admit I needed it."


"In my teens I didn't really have acne. It started to appear during my junior year of college than gradually worsened. I tried everything: herbal remedies, store bought peels, exfoliating, etc. Last year I finally had enough and booked an appointment at my dermatologist. She warned me that it might get worse in the beginning. I was instructed to use cetaphil facial wash daily and apply adapalene twice a week but only at night. I was also instructed to apply aczone in the morning along with moisturizer. I will say this using more product will cause irritation!!! Less Is definitely more!"


"I am a white teenager, with combination & sensitive skin that flares up really badly at the slightest of things. My dermatologist prescribed me Epiduo and I tried it for nearly three or so months, but I found that it did nothing but dry out my skin and caused it to turn red. My acne did not go away, so I looked for other things. If you have skin like mine, look for things with Salycic Acid. I have a set of facial wipes with 1% Salycic Acid and Clinique Acne Gel with 2% Salycic Acid and this, in addition to a normal Clean & Clear facial wash, has cleared up my acne entirely. Hope this helps."


"I’ve had severe anxiety my whole life but was never put on anything till about 7 months ago. I was also diagnosed with bipolar, so when I’m manic and having a extremely hard time falling asleep this medicine works. But for my anxiety, which it was prescribed for, doesn’t do anything except make me pass out and not want to do anything for days! It also makes me fall asleep at the drop of a dime, for example while driving! This may work for others, but it’s definitely not the pill for me when it comes to anxiety, though for when I need to get some shut eye it works great!"


"Higher dose causes more nausea for me. Moderate depression relief."


"These injections are a God send for Clusterers.  The ONLY drawback that I experienced was the expense which forbids me from using them on a regular basis...but the tablets are a good substitute... just takes much longer to work.  The injections work almost instantly.."


"After a suicide attempt that landed me in the hospital's psych ward for three weeks, I was put on Effexor XR and Lamotrigine as a mood stabilizer. This combo has changed my life. It took a few months to get the dosage right (yes, MONTHS), but I'm coming up on two years since I've been hospitalized with little to no problems. I'm 21 and finishing my post-secondary education, hold a part-time job, live on my own, and have loving and supporting relationships. I never thought it would get better until Effexor came around."


"Great! Works wonders for oily skin and hormonal acne.  A bonus is that it helped make me 10lbs lighter. "


"This is a God send to me! I am currently detoxing from a 6 year (legal) opiate use. Over 50 and detoxing is no way to live. The insomnia was the absolute worst thing I was experiencing; 2-2 1/2 hours and watch the clock spin. Take temazepam 30mg right before bed and 8-9 hours, with no hangover. What a blessing."


"I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis about 2 years ago after experiencing severe stiffness in the neck and shoulders. I could barely turn my neck at all. Within a couple of weeks of taking Enbrel I was fully flexible and back to my rightful age of 27. 2 years on and I even sometimes forget I have this illness. I recently stopped taking it for 2 weeks and I soon found out what wonders it was working! It is incredible."


"Lortab has worked wonders for my knee pain. "


"My gyno switched me from Teva (brand name) to a generic. The generic wreaked HAVOC on my moods. As someone who suffered from bad PMS already I was led to believe this would help. Did quite the opposite. Triggered months long depression and anxiety. I had preexisting problems with both that were exacerbated by this pill. After wasting at least $800 dollars seeing a shrink and going off of the pill I went to see a psychiatrist who put me on Lexapro which has made me feel a million times better. I know everyone reacts differently to different pills, but I would warn someone with a genetic predisposition to depression and anxiety to be VERY careful going on this pill. Doctors don't always care enough to listen before they prescribe medicine."


"For the very first time EVER  a medication worked for my migraine. My carrier would not cover the originally prescribed medication, so dr ordered naproxen and sumatriptan. I took it , not expecting much but I was wrong. My migraine felt like day 3 of a migraine. I could not believe it. I have had migraines for over 30 yrs and nothing has ever ever made any difference. I carry them both with me everywhere!"


"They gave this to my dad for a severely torn rotator cuff at the hospital and he said it was awesome.  Pain relief was immediate."


"I take Methotrexate weekly 25mg and have found that taking Benadryl at dose and 12 and 24hrs after my weekly dose help reduce the nausea"


"I currently have Nexplanon. I've had it for over a year now and I'm not a big fan of it. I like how I don't have to remember to take a pill but I absolutely hate the prolonged periods... I'll have a period for 2-3 weeks straight, stop for 2-4 days and start back up again. The doctor said it would take a year for my body to regulate but it's actually worse bc the current period I'm on has lasted almost a month! And I have bad cramping with it. Whole point of BC is to be able to be intimate with my S/O and I can't when I'm constantly bleeding. Plus it's caused me to be short tempered and made my sex drive go down a lot. Thinking of having it removed and trying something else."


"I have been suffering major depression for over 10 years and Zoloft took the edge off but I was still extremely depressed. I had mood swings and disorganized thinking, speech problems by being unable to articulate what I mean, paranoia and so forth.
I was originally diagnosed with bipolar disorder but the diagnoses didn't fit. I also was diagnosed with Aspergers. I took a personality and general mental health test by a professional psychologist and the results were tallied by a computer. I have schizoaffective disorder.
I showed my results to my psychiatrist and she's prescribed invega. My depression is gone, I laugh and tell jokes, I can think clearly now and my relationship with my husband has never been better. Thank you!"


"I was facing difficulties in urination. Every 15 min there is urge of urination but only little urine passes. All reports were normal. Still my docter advised  me to take  silodocin and levofloxacin.

Now my experience - both medicine have very bad side effects especially silodocin. The main side effect is retrograde ejaculation I have taken only 2 dose of both I don't know about the side effect of medicine so I was really very scared.

After discontinuation silodocin it took 36 hour to go away retrograde ejaculation.

"


"I have been taking this medicine for over 6 years now. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of nine (now 24) and have taken numerous other ADHD meds. I feel out of all of them Concerta has been the most successful. I do however feel it makes me zone out and am quiet at times. Most think something is wrong with me but I feel it's the medication. I am typically chatty and friendly most times. It tends to happen when I'm one on one with people rather than a group setting."


"I am 28 and just had my 3rd child. I had the Mirena put in 8 weeks after giving birth. I didn't experience any discomfort, my doctor, the nurse and I were having a conversation during insertion. I did not have any cramping probably because my doctor recommended that I take a pain killer an hour before the procedure. I don't feel the strings they told me to look for but it has now been 3 days and I feel no side effects. I hope this helps someone make a decision to do this, it was a great choice for us."


"Life-changing. I once thought I was doomed to a life of pain and suffering. Now that I've been on Remicade for 3 years, I feel like a normal human being again. My disease has become a small part of my life and I don't even think about it much anymore.

I do seem to be slowly losing response. I had to increase the frequency of infusions and now I sometimes have minor symptoms around the time I am due for my next dose.

I was nervous when I started this medicine because of the trips to the hospital for infusions and because my doctor at the time made it sound like a huge deal to be on this. I wish I had started it sooner!"


"Niaspan was prescribed by my doctor for Lipid Protein little a.  My cholestrol was about 400+.  I took one dose (500mg) at night and within 30 minutes I was in emergency room with anaphylactic shock. I don't remember much of anything till I woke up the next morning and was told how bad it almost was for me.  I take 8 statins to maintain a cholesterol of 200."


"I went 5 miserable years with undiagnosed, Hashimoto disease for which I was told it was all in my head & prescribed synthroid & antidepressants.   Now that I'm on Armour, I have made significant improvements in my health & I no longer have the 'brain fog' & chronic fatigue."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"This pill has made my acne much worse and given me bad depression. I have noticed slight weight gain and worsening of allergies."


"Hi everyone. I'm 18 and have been suffering from moderate acne for about 3 years now.

I started using Minomycin (minocycline) about 2 weeks ago, with this tropical lotion that is widely known to treat acne. In daytime I use BB cream and foundation to cover my flaws (not sure if that's a wise choice).

I have read the views that this is one of those medications that gets worse before it gets better. I have noticed that in the past two days I have started breaking out. I'm not sure if it is the medication, the cream, my daily routine or just stress but my condition is getting worse.

Seems like I need to give it a few more weeks to see how it goes."


"It works."


"I started taking Zyprexa over two years ago for intrusive thoughts I was having as a result of Obsessive compulsive disorder/depression.  While the Zyprexa helped remove intrusive thinking, it added about thirty pounds onto my slender frame, made me severely tired, and took away my sex drive.  In addition to these adverse effects, I was unmotivated/uninterested in many activities that used to give me pleasure. I had a "so what" attitude about life in general.  All because of this medicine.  What really frightened me about taking this was my cholesterol went sky high, and my blood sugar was also very high, making me an at risk candidate for diabetes.  I am finally off of this. "


"This is the first ever experience I've had with extreme side effects from a medication. This has been the worst experience of my life. I've been taking it at 9:30 every night. I wake up in the middle of the night at 5:00 am every night with extreme nausea, something that I didn't experience before taking this. When I wake up in the morning I instantly feel dizzy and nauseous. This continues on throughout the day. Half way through the day the anxiety starts to take over. I start to experience shortness of breath, shaking, and light headedness. Once the panic attack ends, I get a headache more towards 5:00pm-6:00pm. This has been happening every day since I started this pill, and I'm just told to "keep pushing through.""


"I have been taking Cialis  for 3 years now.  I am healthy, exercise, and not overweight.  The reason for adding Cialis to my daily vitamins is that my partner likes a daily intimate time.  With intimate time 5 to 6 days a week I fine that both of us have a very special time.  She knows I take it and has no problem with what I call my daily vitamin.  I see my cardiologist and have blood work yearly.  So far all lights are green and thumbs up."


"The patches stopped working so this was last on the list to try. Dr. gave me a sample to try. Not very effective and Way Way overpriced. Will be trying compounded version. Wake up drug companies there are a lot of us baby boomers suffering from menopause who will not go quietly into the night. Especially when we're expected to keep working until 66."


"Suboxone has saved mine and my wife's life. I am so much happier now since I have been on Suboxone although I worry about coming off it, but I am so happy they have found something to help the people that struggle."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Had an endoscopy (w/biopsy) and colonoscopy (double adventure) yesterday. Not my first time having procedures but first trial with Prepopik. Much easier than expected. Started 1st pack around 5pm & drank more than the 5 8oz clear liquids (rotated between chicken broth and Gatorade to balance off the sweet/salt cravings plus have extra electrolytes to avoid dehydration). The meds kicked in about an hr later and continued till around 10pm. Second dose at 1am. Had plenty to drink again. Doc recommended I take Gas-x (1 tablet after drinking the med). No cramping! Slept from 3-6am. Had mild headache (thought caffeine withdrawal or being hungry). My procedure was at 9am. Headache/nauseous till procedure but recovered fine! Would recommend meds."


"Being in the army the stress level is always there day and night. Then one day bam hit me like a bullet, got real dizzy, light-headed, heart racing. In reality it was an anxiety attack. Out of all the stuff I've been through this is the one that scared me. After, I ran to the docs at the hospital they gave me Lexapro. Been on it for two months now and I feel fantastic. Still a little tight in the chest and small heart beat skips but still on track and loving it."


"I've been on Junel Fe for about 6 months, I'm 21, so far everything is good, I switched pills due to spotting for 60 days straight on a 90 day pills. Junel Fe give me hardly any cramps which is amazing because mine used to be so bad I would vomit and I have light to no periods during brown pill week. I did however notice I want to eat 24/7 (which I can control) and my mood swings are little more severe...sex drive and acne wasn't affected."


"I'm 18 and I've been taking this for 6 months and it's made a pretty noticeable difference. I used to have a new breakout everyday and now I hardly get a single breakout at all. It cleared my face within a month or so and has kept my face clear the almost the entire time, with one exception. It says not to take this medicine with a calcium and iron supplement and I started taking both and my face started breaking out again! So listen to what the doctor tells you!"


"I was put in this pill to help with heavy bleeding, well I'm in my first month I bled every single day from the first to the last pill, the cramping is unbearable it feels like contractions. I called my doctors office and  I was told to continue taking them and give it 3 months but I don't know if I want to do that. I'm miserable, another thing I noticed is my breast are bigger I know doctors say it's a myth but no it's a reality I never had this issue with any other pill. It's weird because these pills are very low in hormones I just hope they don't continue getting bigger."


"For anyone experiencing nausea and upset stomach, I went through the same thing for the first 2 weeks, which made me almost give up on it.  I asked my doctor for a script for an anti-nausea, and  I started taking that(Zofran), with a pepto bismol tablet immediately before I gave the injection,  It did the trick and I was able to continue on with increasing my dose. I did have to take a Zofran and pepto bismol for about a week before I was fine without it.  However, I've lost 15 pounds in about. month, but for the past month I haven't lost anything, nor gained. Has anyone gotten over the platteau?  I've been on it for 2 months"


"Side effects....hoarseness. No appetite..fatigue...stomach upset.  Have been on metropolol which caused shortness of breath.  Still trying to find something without so many side effects.  "


"My focus and energy increased immensely. I did a 4 to 6 page research final paper in 3 days. I finally can focus on tasks and not spend hours and hours on one task because I dosed off and daydream. I also did a 13 page AP English within 9 days. I'm glad I decided to take Adderall XR at the end of high school and now I will be taking it while I'm in college. Is it a cognitive enhancer which is said a lot ABSOLUTELY NOT. It doesn't make you smarter, it doesn't improve your thinking, and it doesn't improve your memory. It just do what its suppose to do and helps you focus. The bad thing is that it is hard to sleep."


"Prevacid has greatly improved my day and night living."


"I have found that this medication has few side effects compared to the daily and nightly suffering I have endured since being diagnosed. My panic has decreased, my thoughts are within my control, I have much better sleep and dreams, and my appetite has increased. I had a very low appetite when I was experiencing panic attacks and flashbacks and enjoy that it has giving me an appetite. I make healthy food choices and am very active and have not experienced a lack of motivation or energy. I know it has a half life and feel the only addictive qualities I have experienced would be psychological. I am hoping once I learn my triggers and reprocess the traumatic events that I will be able to eventually manage without it, but for now it is a God send."


"I'm glad to hear after I have tried all other medicines others like me find Fioricet to be the most effective. I have taken as needed for about 17 yrs .. just relief from my headaches."


"I had to switch to Norethindrone after year of Zovia due to concerns from my doctor over my high blood pressure and the risk of stroke. On norethindrone my skin completely broke out, I gained 10lbs and started growing some facial hair. I was moody as can be and experienced a painfully low sex drive (with equally painful intercourse). After speaking with my gyno and taking the Norethindrone for about 10 months, I am finally switching to Junel 1/20. The ONLY pro of the Norethindrone was that it was an extremely effective birth control. As a hypochondriac, I was fearful of getting pregnant from unprotected sex. Thankfully, the pill worked for me. Only it's side effects were horrible."


"I have been taking this drug for 6 months. I started after a very sad time in our family and some months after this I had days where I would just breakdown and cry for no reason.  I found out that depression is in our family and has made me more aware of this disease. I fell generally better and don't have the days of sadness that I use to but have side affects of insomnia, low sex drive, dizziness and sometimes fatigue.  Overall I fell this drug has been helpful and would reccomend it to others."


"I am in week 2 of epiduo, I noticed that I'm getting a lot of pimples around my forehead area. I don't understand why because my forehead didn't have any pimples before I started using epiduo. Hopefully it will improve because I'm really insecure. I feel like when I talk to others that's all they look at! Anyways, epiduo burns really bad and I have dry patches of skin. Whenever I touch it, it starts burning."


"Hi, wanted to add a post to help convince those who do not know clonidine yet that it's the best thing ever.
 I'd been using heroin for years before switching to methadone. It was fairly easy to taper 5mg at a time until 20mg, where it became more and more painful/stressful - I'm now at 4mg.
 I didn't have a clue about clonidine until two months ago, I looked it up on the internet and talked about it with my physician and he prescribed it to me.
 Then, the miracle happens: I switch from 5mg to 4mg, and 48h later at withdrawal symptoms onset I only had to take 0,5mg of clonidine to avoid ALL withdrawal symptoms. I had no sweats, no anxiety, no chills, no pins and needles, no trashy feeling... TRY IT, no side effects noticed."


"Not going for two days due to travelling and interrupted routine can really be a problem but two large glasses of water with one tablespoon each produces positive results within 30 min. every time. Just keep close to a bathroom for 2-3 hrs."


"I had been taking Microgestin for over 6 months now (switched from the patch), and I will be switching to another form of birth control once again.

I've gained 15 pounds (going up 3 dress sizes!) and I've had excessive night sweats.  None of these side effects have occurred prior to taking this pill.

I will be switching to another form of birth control."


"It took a few months for it to start to settle in, I think, but  total game changer. 6 months ago I was in an awful state due to undiagnosed OCD & depression. Started going to therapy and taking prozac and now it feels like I'm standing on more solid ground. I haven't felt this good in years and feel silly for my past apprehension at trying SSRIs.

Only side effects I've noticed are I'm a bit sleepy throughout the day and I'm having vivid dreams most nights (never remembered my dreams before taking prozac) but no complaints about the latter. Recently bumped up to 30 mg after being on 20 for a few months to try and kick the last of the obsessive thoughts. Really couldn't recommend enough. I can only hope this keeps working."


"I was prescribed 50 mg. 1st day I could literally feel the release of the medication. During the lag of the release I would get headaches, become tired, irritable and frustrated with every situation and conversation. By evening time I couldn't carry a conversation without forgetting prior known facts. Saturday ,I was completely not myself. On top of how I felt
Friday I was emotional, had down thoughts, I couldn't follow a time line: I was late for everything. Sunday seemed to be better but not by much. Monday..horrible it was like I added Friday and
Saturday symptoms together then add in horrible chest pain, shortness of breath, constant feeling of about to faint, fever, flu symptoms, hot/cold, exhausted but not able to sleep, & more symptoms. I refuse to take another dose"


"I weigh 200 lbs and took 3 tabs, 5mg each, at 4 p.m.  By 9 p.m. I started feeling mild discomfort.  By 10 p.m. I had first action which was consistency and mass of normal bowel movement.  Hooray.  At 4 a.m. I had second action which had watery consistency and about half of the mass of first action.  Afterwards, I had several smaller actions, each watery and a bit gassy, about an hour apart, a small discomfort but great results overall.  Pick start time carefully. "


"It seems the only relief I have gotten has been with Percocet along with muscle relaxers and Neurontin for bee sting pain associated with the nerves."


"It's my fifth week on adapalene. My face has become more shiny and oily. Acne has not fully cleared up. I'm also using dermadew acne soap. All the acne scars are still on my cheeks. It has become more noticable. I'm not sure about continuing the treatment. I have heard that it will take about 8 to 12 weeks for any change. I'm gonna keep using this. But I'm not sure whether I'm applying the right amount. My dermatologist told me to apply a very little on the affected areas.."


"I woke up with a cold sore..no tingling warning, went to Walgreen's in my pj's lol..I took  $20 got to Walgreen's $22.99' so I had to write a check I said this must be good it was locked up.. Used it immediately, after three days its almost GONE! For me it worked and worth every cent."


"Have not had sleep for two nights because of terrible cough. Took Mucinex D today at 2 pm and felt good. Like a new person. It's now 11 pm and cough is back so another night of no sleep. Do I take another Mucinex D at 2 am? Don't know if it will keep me awake or not. Choice: continue coughing with no sleep or no coughing with no sleep! "


"I have had a great experience with this medicine. I sleep through the night on it, wake up rested and free of any hangover, and it doesn't knock me out like benedryl does. I feel like I get a natural sleep. I've never experienced the night time issues that some have mentioned and have never experienced nightmares or vivid dreams as I have with other medicines."


"There are times my allergies cause a dizzy / full feeling (even though I may not be nasally congested)- R-Tanna was the ONLY medication that would alleviate those symptoms. I too have heard they are no longer producing this product and can no longer refill it."


"Very expensive,  $55 co-pay and I have been using this exactly as directed for 1 month on my pinky toe with absolutely ZERO results. My toenail looks exactly the same. There is no way the FDA has tried this out, probably fake results sent in by the makers of this medication.  Too many people are saying the same thing about this medication not working! It's time for a investigation into the matter."


"Lost 8 pounds after 7 weeks on Belviq with no pain because I lost my cravings for sweet and chocolate! Never hungry anymore. Piece of cake! I wish I could have that wonderful pill years ago."


"Wonderful medicine when used properly.  Saved my life, helped my depression. Improved quality of life 100%.   PS: To everyone still feeling badly after getting off of methadone, I think you are depressed and need treatment. Please see your doctor.  There is no reason to go through life feeling sick all the time."


"I started Ortho Tri-Cyclin Lo when I turned 18; used it for about 3 years until my cycles started showing up whenever they wanted. My doctor switched me to Sprintec, which was a constant dose of hormone as opposed to the increasing dose like OTCL. Sprintec turned me into an absolutely CRAZY person; my emotions were out of control and my doc seemed to think there was no problem at all. I took myself off of the meds for about 6 months trying to rebalance my system and found a new doctor. My new doctor diagnosed me with PCOS and suggested Lo Loestrin Fe. She told me there was a good chance that my period would go away entirely and asked if I was ok with that. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! Spotted ONCE since starting it in Nov 2014--no more cycle!"


"I was diagnosed with PCOS about two years ago with my lack of energy, weight gain and irregular periods.  I started on 500mg/day, then slowly upped the dose to now taking 2000mg/day.

I have been on 2000mg/day for over a month now and still feel awful side effects.  I am always nauseous, burping, indigestion, heartburn, diarrhrea, reduced sex drive (due to previously mentioned side effects), joint pain, loss of appetite, weakness...  the list goes on.  I am already low weight so feeling ill and not having an appetite is concerning.  Also my period has not become more regular and in fact has become worse.  When I was on just 500mg/day I felt fantastic so the doctor kept increasing the dose. I think I will go back down to a lower dose or stop"


"I have been taking xolair for 5 years now. It is an amazing medicine. I only have one fully developed lung so I had asthma pretty bad. I am also allergic to elm trees so I would get hives and itching alot when I was outside. No more trips to er anymore and I can go outside and not have to wear jackets in summer due to the trees giving me hives. I have had no side effects so far. All I know is this drug works for me. It has changed my life."


"Bipolar 2(now 65) with years of trying every mood disorder medicine around until Lamotrigine was recommended for Bipolar 2. Felt back in my 'own' skin again after 20 years of 'enduring' life. On 200mg twice daily takes a while to adjust dose so please be patient..it gave me back my life!"


"I have used this in the past, due to taking antibiotics after having a tooth pulled. I am 14 weeks pregnant, and day one is the worse. I was on fire for about 15 minutes, then i started reading people's post on here, and after laughing so hard, the burning is gone. This is my second time having to use this and I'm 31years old. I know it's not funny to have a YI, but I got a good chuckle out of the fact I'm not the only one on fire over here. Thanks. Product clears infection in 3 days."


"Hi all , I've been giving sertraline 50mg and quetiapine 25mg for my anxiety . I'm at a stage of my life now where this is eating me up . I'm 31 and had these issues for about 5 years . They all started after my mum passed away , never suffered before her passing . Everyday I feel I'm going to die of a heart attack , I keep getting these pains in my chest but all the doctors say it's anxiety . The question is does anyone know what can help reduce my fears because this is effecting my relationship with my wife and my son ..... Many thanks to all who have taken time to read this"


"I had a severe reaction to this medication. I will never recommend this to anyone!! Severe acne all over my face, neck, chest, & back. I gained 6 lbs in the first week, and then 3 more the next week.  I had a headache that never went away."


"I chose the implanon after 5 years of being on the deposit injection (I began having the most awful mood swing after 3 years or so on it). I chose the implanon as I wanted to try a different method of contraception.

The first 6 months have been brilliant however in the last couple of months I have had such horrendous acne. I've never had spots and I've recently been getting  hard boils/lumps on my face that take about 4-5 days to go! Gross I know. I've had awful fluid retention around my pubis and belly which goes after a week or so. Periods are hit and miss.. Last month was so light yet this month I've been bleeding over a week using super plus tampons! Mood swings have been an issue too.

I need a non hormonal methods.. copper iud next!"


"I've been on the pill for 3 months now, I have experienced extreme nausea, bloating, mood swings, and even crazy cravings! I thought I was pregnant! But after reading these reviews I feel better about the pill, not only that but everything's straightening out so I'm happy. I am also getting curves, which I like very much! Its a great pill."


"The information here is easy to read and understand for non-medical folks. Thanks!"


"This medication  has helped me out alot. My blood pressure  and palpitations are under control.

I feel tired for the first few hours after I take the medication.....but it gets better as the day goes on."


"For me this has been the worse medicine in the world.  I took it four days and thought I would be crazy. I hate going to the hospital  but I couldn't handle it any longer.  Wow I felt so depressed, so sad, terrible but my friend told me stop this medicine and drink hot tea black tea. I did four times wow I felt another person ,"


"I got the Nexplanon implant at the beginning of August and in a couple weeks I will have had it for 2 months. I actually love this form of birth control because I can't get into the routine of a pill or Depo shot. There have been a few up and downs though. For the about the first few weeks I was spotting and now I have nonexistent periods. My moods were wacky at first. I do have a little more acne than before but nothing that doesn't disappear within a few days. I'm a lot more tired now. I've experienced loss of appetite. I weighed 127 lbs when I got it and now I weigh 113 lbs. Other than the occasional crying, I'm completely okay with this implant. My sex drive is strong and I'm not pregnant."


"I noticed a difference after the first pill. Things are back to normal now."


"I am on this medication for generalized anxiety and panic disorder. Even though it says it is an antidepressant, I have used this with great success in reducing my daily anxiety. I am currently on a 30mg dose and it seems to have levelled me out pretty well. The only side effect I would complain about is the insomnia BUT it gets better after about 6 weeks. I went many nights being able to fall asleep only to wake up a few hours later and be wide awake unable to return to sleep. I began using melatonin at night, and after about 6 weeks I have had a much easier time with sleep. I can make you a bit lethargic during the day, but nothing I am unable to handle. With minor side effects and help with the anxiety, I highly recommend."


"Doesn't totally cut my Paroxysmal Dystonia, but drops it from a 7/10 to a 3/10. If i increase the dose (800mg XR daily) the side effects are too hard to handle. Generally leaves me feeling a little sluggish/slow, and have found it difficult to lose weight on Tegretol."


"I have had constipation problems for years.  Before Linzess, I was taking up to 6 different medications to try to go and then it would hit with a vengeance and last all day long.  I couldn't work a full time job because of it.  I was miserable all of the time with bloating, cramping and nausea.

I have only been on it a week and I already feel so much better.  I now have bowel movements like normal people.  Yes, there is some diarrhea, but I think I am still getting used to it.  If the diarrhea gets bad, I will cut back to every other day.  But, I will talk to my doctor first."


"I have had fibromyalgia for as long as I can remember. The pain was so bad 6 months ago from too much stress that I wasn't sleeping which made it worse. I had to quit my job and I would just lay in bed and cry moving my heating pad all around my body. It was a nightmare. I wanted my life back. I found a doctor to do all the tests and diagnose me. I tried gabapentin first and did nothing for me and I was a zombie so we switched to Lyrica. I take 300mg a day. It's not perfect ALL the time. Some days I am back in pain. And three days before my period I'm in a lot of pain. It has also helped my anxiety and insomnia. For me, the dizziness went away after a month. And the other side effects are minimal."


"On generic clonezapam for 9 years.  Work great GAD, panic attack, however it is now wearing off.  I cannot get off of it due oppositional tolerance. Most doctors know little about this drug.  Orginally, meant for short term use. It is very difficult for taper.  It does serve its purpose. Just do you research."


"I have psoriasis and I did not have PSA but my doctor said it was time to start something else because creams and ointments were no longer working. I have good insurance and my doctor started me on Cosentyx samples to start, Novartis was sending me samples at no charge said they would work with my insurance to get it approved, no problem they said if your insurance doesn't cover it you will be covered through us for 2 years. Go ahead and start they said, now that my insurance has declined it twice they want me to sign away all of my Federal Privacy Laws pertaining to my private health information or they will not send me anymore samples.
I have 10 biologic shots in me at this time- how do you switch now?!"


"Under the supervision of a psychiatrist I ran the gambit of SSRIs

from Prozac to Zoloft with only mild improvements. Cymbalta proved at 120mgs to be wonderful. My insurance was a buzzkill by limiting me to 60mgs but we tried Celexa as an adjunct with similar but not total benefit. Taken with breakfast the change within an hour is dramatic, and missing a dose or two is traumatic. My only anxiety now is God forbid I am ever to go without my Cymbalta. It helped me through 10 chemo sessions, especially with the resulting neuropathy. Perhaps it will fall to a tier 1 med and I can resume 120mgs... There is hope."


"Tamiflu made me so sick....I already had the flu and tamiflu made me vomit.  Terrible drug. Costly and so not worth it."


"I'm rather small and I have a lot of sexual dysfunction. This drug worked for me but I had some side effects."


"I was prescribed 10mg Flexeril after pulling an abdominal muscle which lead to spasms.  The Flexeril made the pain and spasms stop but gave me severe dry mouth and made me so dizzy I couldn't get to sleep."


"Today I started my prep at 4pm as instructed. I then drank a container of broth 32 ounces, ginger ale, and water.  Way more than the & cups I was prescribed. All this caused was nausea and stomach cramps.  Not one BM.  Second dose at 8pm.  Already up to 40 ounces of fluids. I feel bloated. Nothing else.  I haven't eaten in 24 hours.   Thankfully it was a sample."


"I'm a 13 year old boy who has been experiencing major back acne. I tried Epiduo on my back which just made it worse. My dermatologist has prescribed me Atralin at night and Duac in the morning. I've been doing this for about a month and my back has never looked better. And I'm glad Atralin has permanent results."


"I take this medicine for weight loss only. I am not a diabetic...lost about 20lbs in about four months. The first month saw the most weight loss. I now lose about 4-6 lbs a month. I am happy that I am still losing weight...the only side effect I have had is a random headache but that started when I upped my dosage to 1.8. Yes, the medicine came with some side effects, all drugs do...but you need to take it so see what side effects you may have since everybody is difference. Then you need to out weigh the pros and cons. For me I will put up with the random headache to keep losing the weight."


"I've used other forms of this patch which works like a miracle pain remedy and would find pain relief instead of taking opioids which weren't working anyway. However, to my misfortune they do not make any other patch that I'm aware of anymore aside for these Mylan Lidoderm patches and THESE DO NOT STICK TO THE SKIN! I've tried everything to make the patches stick from putting tape (which I'm shouldn't have to do), to rubbing it on.  These patches need to be re-made to stick!! PLEASE...PLEASE...the OTHER ONES  .. HELPED WITH MY PAIN from a 10 to a 3 with the one's that stick!! For me that's great, I'm happy!!"


"My 13 month old son had been battling ear infections for 8 weeks. He was placed on an oral antibiotic and within a week of finishing them it would return. I looked up home remedies and tried them all. Hesitate to put him on another round due to my 5 year old having C.diff cause of taking too much antibiotics. (If you don't know what c.diff is look it up. Very common after multiple rounds of antibiotics. Extremely painful and ended up with ambulance ride and 5 days in the hospital) After no sleep and nothing working I returned to the doctors office and voiced my concern with antibiotics cause of my daughter. They had recommended a shot of Rocephin today and to return in 2 days for another 1. With 5 hours he's back to his normal self."


"I had a goiter in my teens that was treated with radioactive iodine, I've been on synthroid for almost ten years, having trouble finding the right dose, I was on 125mcg for a few years but my TSH jumped around a lot, last time I checked it was around 30, so not good, I decided to try 150mcg at first I had a bit of insomnia but otherwise I felt great, going to find out on Saturday if it's been working as good as I thought, I ran out 3 days ago... and I've already gained a bit of weight (looks like I'm bloated) and woke up this morning depressed, oh well I get more on Saturday"


"About a year ago I lost 8 pounds in 1 week, two pounds more the next week. I couldn't sleep and constantly felt nauseous. My doctor ran every test under the sun and came back with only one conclusion:  panic attacks and severe anxiety. After I got past my initial thoughts of thinking he must be a total idiot, I asked for Lexapro.  I did 5 mg the first week, moving up to 10 the week after.  As my MD warned, the anxiety initially increases, so keep the Xanax handy. Two weeks into it I started having longer and longer periods of normalcy. Then, on week three it's like it suddenly stopped and sent me into a tailspin right back to where I started from. My Pscyh told me to go to 20mg because I didn't have quite enough. Worked like a charm!"


"I was quite scared to use this product after reading all you lovely ladies reviews but I went ahead an tried it after hesitating for probably two hours, lol. I bought this early yesterday at my local Walmart for $4.96. I won't be using the cream because I was told that's what burns. An I've experienced all the symptoms, everyone's claimed to get using this product, already so I figured I'd be up all night. But after using my first suppository almost 20 minutes ago I've had only a very tiny amount of itching. No burning or pain. Will post later (If im still up) or tomorrow telling how I'm feeling. Time for bed. OH & ALSO.. I took two 500mg acetaminophen before hand to help fight any pain I'd get & brought three ice cubes to bed with me."


"hi guys, so I had sex May 5th around 1:00am( unprotected) and he used the pull out method, guys its really dumb and the stress isn't worth it-  use protection, precum can get you pregnant! I freaked out because I realized I was ovulating, and bought plan b about 15 hours later. I was in a rush and took it with soda (it doesn't effect it) I got my period right on time, but those 6 days were torture, use protection to save sleepless nights, don't over research because you will convince yourself you're pregnant, it works guys"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"My experience with this medication has been awful. I'm on my 10th day but I have missed 5 doses. This medication made me so sick I had to go to the emergency room. Severe headache, nausea, bloating, black stool and urine. You are suppose to eat with it but I couldn't because of the bloating. Which in turn made me sick because I wasn't eating. I have completely stopped taking the medication in the hopes that the H Pylori is gone."


"I'm happy to see that Chantix helped ppl. We all know cigarettes are not healthy, tax your breathing, make you a social pariah, etc., And then there's the ridiculous cost. Which is why I wanted to stop; for all the reasons listed above.

I knew, from the commercial, this could make me depressed and suicidal. I thought it was the common disclaimer to avoid liability if I decide to stop smoking but jump off a bridge.  Which is where I was pretty quickly into it.

I felt like a zombie, was ridiculously tired. No matter how much sleep I got, was tired. And sad.

Cigarettes lost their appeal. As did everything else. I was/am extremely congested, sad, "lost," hopeless. My teeth hurt. !? I also had strange smells.

Good news- stopping abruptly is OK"


"I've suffered from constipation my whole life and rarely have a movement on my own accord. My sister in law introduced me to these babies a while ago, suggested I took four as she does. 6 hours after my dose and I was ready to kill her, I suffered big time. Cramps were bloody awful and the sweats were about the same. I successfully went to the toilet many times that night and it worked better than anything the doctors have prescribed. I lowered the dose to three tablets as two didn't work. I take four when really backed up. They can be a little unpredictable, sometimes they take 6 hours sometimes they take 16, sometimes I sit in the toilet and pray for death other times It's a walk in the park. They do work though."


"I began taking Qsymia a couple of years ago with a brief hiatus in between. I started at 206 and got down to 158 with very little exercise but a change in eating habits. According to my friends I was eating very little w/maybe 1100 calories a day or less. I easily overlooked the side effects of tingling in the feet, dry mouth and irritability. The worst has been the memory problems, difficulty concentrating and lack of words. I couldn't remember commonly used words like my brain just stopped working. This scared me enough to stop taking it. I've been off now for over a year and still have these neurological problems after once having a near photogenic memory. I've also gained all of my weight back and looking back would've never started it."


"I successfully quit on day 6 and stayed for over a year and half with Chantix. I did have a few side effects nausea had to take half doses after day 8, vivid but pleasant dreams and constipation but not sure if that was withdrawal or the Chantix. I recently started back smoking around the anniversary of my husband's passing and started Chantix again 3 days ago. I can already tell the want and desire to smoke is fading and the taste is yuck. I would highly recommend Chantix to anyone that is SERIOUS about quitting."


"I have tried a countless number of remedies and Zomig is the only thing that has worked for me.  I do have a couple of side effects to mention. Sensitive skin (pain to the touch), tingling in my extremities achey joints and muscles and excessive urination. Although these side effects don't happen everytime I use it.  Zomig has been a miracle for me, I have suffered migraines for 18 years.  I can live with the side effects and only hope my migraines will go away with menopause like the doctors have told me."


"I have been take this for about 3 weeks and have lost 13 pound I really can tell its help me with my craving and I'm also doing the scale down program and its make me aware of my food choice daily . I know this isn't magic pill but I'm in my late 40's and need  that extra push in the right direction ..."


"I just did a week of 25mg. I haven't noticed a difference. I haven't had bad side effects either. Tomorrow I will up the dose to 50mg. I'll be posting again next week."


"When I first started taking this birth control, it was great. My periods stopped and I only had some spotting the first month or so. About two-three months in though, I felt like it made me lose my sex drive a lot and had no libido. On top of this, I noticed I had a lot of vaginal dryness - even before having sex - and this made doing anything sexual not that pleasurable. I also gained a few pounds after beginning the pill. I didn't experience any change in my acne though, as it is a possible side effect of this particular birth control."


"I've been on Nuvaring since May and I love it. It regulated my periods after Depo made me bleed for 6 months. I get a little breast tenderness, but nothing that doesn't happen during a normal monthly cycle, without birth control. I still want to switch to something more long term, but if it doesn't work, I'll be back to the Nuvaring."


"I took trinessa for 3 month and it was driving me crazy. This was my first time ever taking birth control and my experience was awful! My mood swings was very bad, I had slight depression, emotional problems, I just got married and I didn't want my husband to touch me, and vaginal discharge all the time is was grossing me out! No weight gain and my period was on point! But I will never ever go back to this again!"


"Started Tamiflu within 36 hours of symptoms and felt so much better within 48 hours. My symptoms originally didn't include nausea and that didn't change after starting Tamiflu, although I did take the pills with a little in my stomach.  I'd take it again."


"I gained weight very quickly while taking this."


"Great works at almost every type of itching"


"Let me first say that I really enjoyed smoking! I smoked a pack a day from the time I was 16 yrs old to age 41. Never thought I could or would EVER stop smoking. Until I experienced cramping in my " right" arm, felt like a constant charlie horse. Decided I did not want to have a stroke at age 41. It only took about 2 1/2 months to never want to light up again. Using this nic. inhaler....I did it! So wonderful not to be controlled by an addiction! Please give this a try...to stay on earth a bit longer for your loved ones!
Blessed in Maine! You CAN do it!"


"I was first given this birth control when I lived in the UK (under the name of Microgynon 30) for my severe Endometriosis. I take a pill every night and do not take any inactive pills for the week you usually have your period. Since I take Levlen everynight, I have stopped my period and no longer have one. Bliss! I have no more Endo pain or any associated side effects. Even though I have been thrown into "medically controlled menopause", I have no menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness and so on. For the first two months I had break through bleeding, but now going on 2 years I have none. I have had a wonderful experience with this birth control and it has completely made my Endometriosis symptoms disappear."


"I was diagnosed 6 months ago with Colitis. I started taking Asacol 400mg 3x a day. I felt great immediately after the 3rd pill. No diarrhea for 2 whole days! Last night my stomach started that weird rumbling noise. About an hour later, I had a severe headache! One of the worst I have ever had! I was on my 10th pill. One of the side effects of this medication. Be careful, always call your Dr. if you have any side effects with this medication. I stopped taking this medicine, did not work for me."


"Worst birth control ever, make me sick, I have headaches since the day 1, mood swings, anxious , was feeling terrible, so I found out that a lot of people taking this birth control are having the same conditions, so I stoped, the next day my headache was gone."


"This childproof cap is not operable, I followed your instructions and wound up cutting the dam cap off. The good news for you is a child won't ingest your product and you won't get sued. The bad news is a pissed off adult might cut their hand with a knife and switch products. Good job product safety !!!"


"Very smooth mood stabilizer, no side effects. I take 1200 mg/d."


"I'm 6 weeks into this pill. I have PMDD and treat it with other Medication but it makes me sad and depressed even with the other medication. The anxiety is through the roof.  This pill makes me so tired. I also have horrible night sweats every night. I also can't sleep. The insomnia is awful. Headaches everyday. I have spent the last month trying to figure out what my deal was and its this awful pill. I thought I may of had another condition. The idea of 4 periods a year is amazing but this pill just isn't worth it. I am stopping this pill ASAP and hoping that everything returns to normal in a few days. Oh and the fact that I have completely lost my sex drive! Yeah that sucks too. I just want to sleep and not sweat at night."


"Effective, but not without side effects. The first month was pretty bad - my hands, feet, and legs were falling asleep and I experienced painful tingling and cramps. My joints also had problems, and I had to wear a brace on my knee for a little while. I was more lethargic. Anything carbonated tasted awful. I couldn't drink caffeine or my whole body would feel weird and tingly. I also had to pee a lot during the first few weeks and was quite thirsty.

Over time, most of the side effects went away, and my pressure went down. My vision problems completely went away. However, a new side effect appeared after about two years - tinnitus. It is definitely being caused by the medicine, because I've found that skipping a dose makes it go away."


"I've been on Armour thyroid for 4 months or so and I've lost no weight and I'm tired all the time, also gained weight. Having hot flashes and night sweats and I've been feeling dizzy. My TSH is low along with my T3 and T4. It's time to switch medicines once again. I've been on 2 other medicines and nothing is helping me I'm so frustrated. I need some help, anyone know of a better medicine out there? "


"I use Yasmin 28 for both acne and birth control, and it has been a life-saver! My PCP put me on Tri-Lo Sprintec, and I broke out horribly before it got better. I had new whiteheads on my cheeks and other places I had never broken out before. Right when my skin started clearing up after a few months, my OBGYN put me on Yasmin and said since it was a monophasic pill, it would work better for my skin and needs. I haven't had a new zit in about 3 weeks. I also have not had any of the side effects other than moodiness, and I do get thirsty and have dry mouth after taking it, but those are minor compared to acne! I definitely recommend this."


"Hello All,

I initially got put on Wellbutrin for my anxiety and depression. I'm taking the SR one once a day and I have been on it for less than a week. I have to say I have felt amazing. I am someone that is extremely active and I had always tried to be conscious of my diet, but I struggled with binge eating. I would eat healthy for 4 days and binge for 3. I'd feel awful and start over EVERY monday. It was really getting out of hand honestly and contributing to my mental state. I am 24 years old, 5'4 and my normal weight for my activity level was always 120. I got all the way up to 150 and could not understand why. In almost a week I've lost 5lbs its just falling off me now. I feel happy again and in control of my emotions and eating."


"I was given this medicine when I woke up and my jaw was locked shut. I have TMJ issues and this was the second time it has happened. The first time I was given Robaxin and I had an allergic reaction. Regardless of the allergic reaction (hives) I feel like cyclonenzapine works way better than Robaxin. 45 min after taking it I was able to open my jaw and eat! I'm not sure if it is helping with the pain because I am taking it with hydrocodone 5/300 but it is doing wonders allowing my jaw to open!!! Defiantly recommend this over Robaxin! Also, it makes me tired. Can't drive on it but I don't get so tired that I have to sleep. I can still get stuff done but I wouldn't risk driving!!! Zero side effects besides drowsiness A++"


"2017 marks my 21st year on Ultram.  Initially it was prescribed for migraines. I was later diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and continued on Ultram, as it eased the stiffness and difficulty of movement.  Soon enough I needed more than prescribed.  My doctor  took it away for 8 horrific months.  Withdrawal never let up. Weakness, crying, vomiting, MDD.  I used those 8 months for research, eventually coming up with proof that Ultram was the drug of choice for FMS. My doctor gave it back in a lower dose, and a different medication to control withdrawal. Next step was bloodwork in a genetics lab. I metabolize Ultram 4x faster than average. Now I'm over 50, using Ultram as a mood stabilizer.  It can be psychologically addictive;  caveat emptor!"


"I am 25 years old married and since my daughter was born 2 years ago I've slowly been feeling less like myself. Most recently I've been irritable, low sex drive with Erectile Dysfunction and more emotional about things that used to not bother me. So I went to my doctor and low and behold was diagnosed with low testosterone. He prescribed me Fortesta. To be honest I was pretty skeptical. I figured it would take a week or 2 to feel anything. But I was really surprised at how quick I felt a difference. Granted I'm only on day two but I can definitely feel a difference in my mood and my gym time was more fulfilling than usual. I haven't tested it out in the bedroom yet but my sex drive has also been better than usual. I'm really looking forward to the weeks to come."


"I've had my nexplanon for over a year now, it's very effective against not getting pregnant and that's the best part only. I have 2 periods a month, one light one heavy. I randomly bleed as well as cramp horribly before I start. I've had headaches, nausea, hives, nasal sinus issues, depression, mood swings, weight gain, loss of appetite, peeling skin on my face, dandruff, rash on my arm, constantly itching, loss of sex drive, tiredness and the list continues. "


"AH-mazing! I used this as a little girl for a muffler burn (2nd and 3rd degree). It healed without even leaving a scar. I am using it now for burns suffered from falling into an outdoor propane heater; 2nd degree burns on my back and forearm. I am praying for the same amazing results! This medication is a God send."


"I had unprotected sex on Friday and bought and took the pill on Sunday. I finally started my period 7 days later but prior to starting my period, my appetite increased like crazy! Hope this helps"


"I don't normally get headaches in general but when I do, they're horrible. I took an Excedrin after I developed I really bad headache upon getting off work for the day. My headache was gone in about 30 minutes tops. However, the side effects of this pill outweighed how fast it fixed my headache. I took the pill in the car on the way home and by the time I reached my home in 15 minutes I began feeling woozy. I started to feel light headed and felt this weird feeling in my stomach. I assumed it was because I was hungry but after forcing myself to eat food it only made things worse. I felt so bad that I just laid down early for the night so that when I woke up the feeling would most likely be gone. Nope! I woke up & vomitted shortly."


"Definitely identified and treated multiple pre cancerous lesions on my face. Down side was a cold sore at corner of mouth and extremely irritated and burning lower lip even though medicine was never applied to mouth area"


"I am almost done w/ my 1st pack, which is a new formulation that came out late last year. I did take FE microgestin 1/20 a few years ago & stopped because that made me lose my libido, gain weight, and just feel dead inside. I decided to give it a shot again & was given this as a generic alternative I like this better than microgestin, but I have been feeling extremely tired and unmotivated, experienced minor spotting during the 3rd week of hormone pills, and my vision becomes blurry from time to time. Not sure if the blurry vision is normal, but I hope that these symptoms subside after my body gets more used to it. Will leave another review in a few months."


"It's ok.  Take 5mg twice a day and although it helped with my anxiety and depression, it's given me bad side effects like nausea and diarrhea.

I've had diarrhea for a week now and I've been going about 3-4 times every day.

I don't know if I'll stay on it but I certainly can't live in the bathroom either. I'm out of options for anxiety medication.

These side effects are awful especially if you have a very active job like I do & work in a factory. It's not fun."


"Zithromax works.  I see a lot of websites stating that bronchitis is usually caused by a virus.  The fact is, that although the triggering mechanism that brought on the bronchitis may be a virus, a secondary infection of bacteria is common. My entire family had bronchitis for several weeks.  Zithromax will get rid of it in most cases.  Don't believe the nonsense that you don't need antibiotics- after a couple of weeks of this, go get some Zithromax.  It works!"


"I have taken Paxil for about 6 months. I have not had any weight gain as I had previously with other medications.  I feel emotionally much more stable and the side effects have been minimal.  I still feel tired occasionally and have some trouble with my short term-memory but my overall quality of life seems to be better and although I still feel mildly blue at times the feeling is not as intense and doesn't linger for weeks.

Happy with the medicine."


"I started Chantix on 4-17-2014 and since 4-27-14 I have not smoked a cigarette in 5 whole days! Not even a drag. I feel like I have no desire to smoke but there are times where I do crave one and think to myself, I went this long without one or a drag so why ruin it, then I forget about it. I do miss smoking but its better for the long run. I am about to turn 27 and have been smoking for 15yrs. I did experience some constipation and a few times felt nauseous but as long as you eat before and definitely drink as much water as you can. I was hesitant on taking this medication because of the side effects, especially the dreams. I have not had any terrible dreams, I have been dreaming more but I enjoy them, they are very vivid. I recommend Chantix."
